Chapter 103: Real-World Arrangements
The real world.
United States of America.
Laredo, Texas
"Laredo was founded in 1755, is a southern city of Texas, with a population of 230,000, bordering West Meco, the city's main economic industry is animal husbandry, planting, and the city has many grape farms, is the Texas grape supply park."
In front of an ancient castle.
The lawyer's eyebrows fluttered: "The castle in front of you comes from the bankess Ana LΓ³pez, she is a Spanish dame, in 1930, Ms. Pelos was tired of the intrigues of the big city, and chose to come to Laredo to spend her old age, and established this LΓ³pez castle. β
"Now, more than fifty years have passed."
"Ms. Pelos has long since passed away, and her granddaughter, who is currently living in Washington State, has no intention of returning to her hometown to develop, so she commissioned us to sell this castle."
"Very good story." Looking at this five-story castle with a Spanish style, Jiang Xuantou asked without looking back: "How many rooms does it have, how much floor space, and then how much is the offer?" β
This time back to reality.
Jiang Xuan mainly came for the cultivation of the Blood Dao.
As for why he is in Laredo, not on Hong Kong Island.
The answer is simple, the law and order on Hong Kong Island is getting better and better, and many times people are constrained.
Thereupon.
Jiang Xuan chose to immigrate to the United States, and chose this border city on the border with Ximoko, because this is the intersection of heaven and hell, as long as you have money, you can get everything.
"$1.42 million."
While quoting, the lawyer emphasized: "Not only this five-story castle, but also two mountains behind the castle, a freshwater lake, a forest, and 800 acres of land surrounding the castle, so the price is very reasonable." β
"Perhaps."
Jiang Xuan didn't discuss the price too much, but said: "You should be able to hear that my English is not good, because I am a new immigrant, I can spend 1.42 million US dollars to buy this castle, but I can't be sure if the local rich people in Laredo welcome me, so I want to organize a Laredo upper-class drinking party, invite some powerful and powerful people to come and get together, can you help me?" β
"Of course."
The lawyer didn't want to say yes, and emphasized: "My KKS law firm is the golden sign of Laredo, and we are happy to match you and invite some new friends of the same status to come to the party to help you settle in here." β
"Thank you very much."
Jiang Xuan shook hands with the lawyer: "I am going to sign a document to transfer all my legal affairs to your KKS Law Firm, and invite you, lawyer Mike Wittes, to be my personal lawyer, what do you think?" β
"It is my pleasure, sir."
Mike couldn't figure out why he refused.
Because working as a private lawyer for a wealthy man is a qualification only for many barristers, and he is only a rookie in his early thirties, which helps him make a name for himself in the legal profession.
Two days later.
After a brief restoration, ChΓ’teau pelos has its second spring.
This night.
The castle is lit up and the air smells of wine and cigars.
In order to organize this dinner.
Jiang Xuan packed all the members of the most luxurious Kempin Grand Hotel in Laredo City, from the manager to the waiter, including their entire team of chefs, and even the cleaning was not left behind.
Boom!
The flown Lafite wine doesn't cost the same amount of money.
The ingredients are even more abundant.
In full accordance with the standards of the billionaire club, even every guest who comes here can get a gift.
Men get a sterling silver lighter encrusted with gemstones, and women get a solid gold brooch encrusted with diamonds.
Although Jiang Xuan didn't say anything.
But the hundreds of guests who came and went knew that Laredo had a big deal.
Because someone carefully calculated, this small gift alone is worth hundreds of dollars, you must know that it is now 1985, and the monthly salary of a blue-collar worker is only $1,200.
And in this banquet.
The gifts given alone are worth tens of thousands of dollars, which makes many people can't help but suspect that Jiang Xuan is a billionaire.
Of course.
They weren't wrong.
"Thank you so much for your hospitality, as mayor of the municipality of Laredo, I swear it was the best gathering in a decade."
The mayor of the city of Laredo is a burly middle-aged man.
Jiang Xuan suspected that he was from a military background, because he looked extremely strong, like a stormtrooper captain more than a mayor.
"I'm from Hong Kong Island."
"Coming to Laredo ready to develop my new business."
Jiang Xuan held red wine in his hand: "I am very optimistic about the pharmaceutical industry in the United States, so I am ready to buy the Eiffel Hospital in Laredo, and have plans to build ten private hospitals in the whole of Texas, and a medical research institute specializing in blood diseases, and a biological research institute that studies biodiversity." β
Hear this.
Mayor Laredo's eyes lit up and he said, "Is there anything you need my help with?" β
"Of course."
Jiang Xuan said bluntly: "As we all know, Eiffel Hospital is a private hospital controlled by eight directors. β
"Now, I have convinced six of the minority shareholders, but the remaining two are reluctant to sell their shares to me."
"So I thought, Your Excellency, if you can mediate between them, if you can convince one of them, I will be able to take control of the Eiffel Hospital."
"In return, I will expand the size of the Eiffel Hospital and build two new medical buildings to create at least 200 jobs for the municipality."
After speaking.
Jiang Xuan whispered: "In addition, I heard that your daughter is a garden planner, it just so happens that you know, I just bought this ancient castle, I own hundreds of acres of land and two hills around the ancient castle, I don't know if I have this honor, invite her to design a large garden for me." β
"It's not good." The mayor breathed heavily: "She's only 24 years old, and she's just graduated. β
"The most important thing in garden design is imagination." Jiang Xuan affirmed: "We should give young people more opportunities, instead of ranking seniority and curbing the passion of young people." β
Hear that.
The mayor was silent for a while, and then spoke: "The director of the police department, Aydin, was promoted by the previous mayor, and his prestige in Laredo is very high, and he has always been eyeing me, on his side."
Jiang Xuan said: "I am willing to donate ten police cars and a police helicopter to the police station, and organize a condolence activity for the families of police officers, inviting them to go to the beach to eat some seafood, take a yacht, and give some household appliances by the way. β
It's all about this.
Mayor Laredo no longer objected, got up and shook hands with Jiang Xuan and said, "Mr. Jiang Xuan, welcome to Laredo." β
"Thank you."
Jiang Xuan didn't think Mayor Laredo would fail.
Because as the leader of Laredo City, if he can't even settle the two shareholders of the Eiffel Hospital, it means that he is not worthy of being the mayor.
Of course.
As for what means he used to solve this matter, it was not Jiang Xuan's concern.
Rich people, there are rich people's solutions.
The mayor also has the mayor's.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Brad."
After bidding farewell to the mayor of Laredo.
Jiang Xuan met with another important figure of Laredo alone, the godfather of the Brad family, known as King Laredo, Brad Dino.
"I didn't expect you to invite me."
Brad Dino is a middle-aged man with sunken eyes.
He looked to be in his fifties, dressed in a suit and wearing a famous watch, and said very unexpectedly: "People like me are not popular in the upper class of Laredo, and although I am richer than many people, if not most, outside, they are always used to turning me away, even if I come with good intentions." β
"It's fear."
Jiang Xuan raised his glass and said: "When a wolf is mixed in the flock, the sheep will inevitably fall into fear, but I can see that you have carefully dressed up this invitation, and you did not despise me because I am an outsider, but respected me very much, more than many people outside." β
Brad tentatively asked, "Are you going to be in the business of bars, gambling, smuggling, arms, or flour?" β
Jiang Xuan shook his head: "I'm an arms collector, but I've never thought of selling these things, you don't have to worry that I'm here to compete with you, in fact, I like serious business, such as building a hospital and a medical research institute." β
said.
"Worldwide, there are about 8 million patients suffering from various blood diseases, including hundreds of thousands of leukemia alone, and I think this is a very large market that deserves a lot of investment. β
In fact.
Brad didn't know what Jiang Xuan was talking about, and he didn't know how to use the hospital to make money.
But this does not mean that the two cannot have friendship, and sincerely congratulated: "You are such a great person." β
"The main thing is to find something meaningful to do in your life."
Jiang Xuan said half-jokingly, half-seriously: "My research institute is about to be implemented, but there are still big problems in terms of blood source, I heard from the people of KKS Law Firm, you are very powerful in South Texas, and even expanded your business to Brother Ximo."
You know.
My research institute is for blood diseases, so I need a lot of fresh blood here.
Let's talk about it now.
I urgently need 30,000 copies of plasma, but my research license has not yet come down, so I can't buy it through regular channels.
So I thought, Mr. Bullard, if you could ask your friends of Brother Simoko to quietly draw some from Brother Simo's hospital blood bank.
In return, if you can provide me with 30,000 pieces of plasma in three days, I am willing to pay you 1.5 million dollars. β
One and a half million!!
Hearing this number, Brad asked with some eagerness: "Must it be quiet?" β
"Of course, I am a law-abiding citizen, and I hope that in the government's characterization, 30,000 expired blood plasmas have been scrapped rather than robbing blood banks." Jiang Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Blood also has a shelf life, and it is reasonable to scrap some expired products, isn't it." β
Brad nodded: "Leave it to me." β
"Mr. Brad."
Seeing that Brad was about to go out, when he was about to go out, Jiang Xuan stopped him again: "Are we friends?" β
"Of course." Brad bowed his head slightly: "Brad family, it's an honor to serve you." β
As Laredo, and even the famous glove party family in South Texas.
Braley was already a millionaire in the truest sense of the word.
He can buy the castle with more than 1 million yuan in one go, and then buy 30,000 plasma with 1.5 million yuan, and then go to build ten hospitals and two research institutes.
Not to mention him personally, even if he mortgages all the property of the entire family, I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket.
So in his opinion.
Although Jiang Xuan has just arrived in the United States, he is definitely not a Raptor, and it is very beneficial for the whitewashing family to catch such a billionaire.
Night.
"One portion of the blood of all souls is used as the foundation of the blood path."
"A pool of 10,000 people's blood to practice the body of a blood demon."
Dead.
Jiang Xuan looked at the Blood Demon Sutra with great interest.
The scriptures say that the foundation of the blood path requires the blood of living beings as a guide.
Among them, blood induction is divided into three grades.
The worst is to select the blood of a hundred different beings and refine the lark pill.
The medium one is a thousand elixirs made by selecting the blood of a thousand different creatures.
The best thing is to find 10,000 different creatures, like him, and take a drop of blood from each of them to make the elixir of all souls.
Jiang Xuan had also inquired with Deacon Qu before.
Under the dimensional realm, it is extremely desolate, and it is difficult to make up the blood of a thousand spirits, let alone the blood of ten thousand spirits.
Fortunately.
He has a Hangu diagram to rely on, and in the modern world, there are 1.5 million species of animals of all kinds.
As long as you are willing to spend money.
Give some financial support to the biological research institute that studies species diversity, and the so-called blood of all souls is not difficult to get.
"With the blood of all souls, you can refine the elixir of all souls."
"With the blood of ten thousand people, you can make a blood demon pool."
"After a long time, the elixir + the blood demon pool, I can perfectly integrate into the blood path and become a blood path cultivator."
"What's even better is that after the establishment of the hospital and research institute, and then the approval of the blood bank is obtained, there will be no shortage of blood for the subsequent cultivation of the Blood Demon Sutra."
Jiang Xuan thought secretly: "Looking at it this way, before the Flying Heaven Realm, I shouldn't need to worry about blood food, but after I reach the Flying Heaven Realm."
For monks.
Cultivating the third realm, the flying heaven realm is a threshold.
Down.
Even with the Flying Heaven Realm, they all belong to the lower three realms of cultivation.
Go up.
When it comes to the fourth realm of cultivation, the Xuangan realm, this is already a monk in the middle three realms, it is a deacon in the Immortal Sect, and it is a true transmission in the disciples, if it is placed in the Divine Dynasty below, it is even more amazing, it is enough to be a prince.
Jiang Xuan glanced at ten lines.
According to the records in the Blood Demon Sutra, the Blood Dao cultivators of the First Realm only need to keep 10,000 blood slaves in captivity, which is enough for daily cultivation.
But when it comes to the second realm, the number of blood slaves required will be increased tenfold, and at least 100,000 blood slaves will be required.
As for the third realm.
I'm sorry, but the million blood slaves are only the foundation of cultivation.
If it's up.
In the fourth realm, the Xuan Sense Realm, ordinary blood slaves can't even satisfy their cultivation, and they have to get the blood of a monk to effectively improve their mana.
And after choosing the route of the Blood Dao Monk.
As soon as you enter the blood path, you can't do without this blood word.
Without blood cultivation, the progress of the exercises will be slow, although it will not be impossible to save, but according to the description of the blood path, the blood path cultivator who leaves the blood, the growth of cultivation will drop by more than ten times.
It's serious.
There will even be episodes of hemophilia, and the heart is like an ant crawling, and the itch is unbearable.
Of course, the benefits are obvious.
Blood Dao cultivators do not have high requirements for understanding and chance, as long as there is enough blood, the cultivation speed will take off even faster.
Let's take an analogy.
The same person, if he takes the immortal path, he may still be stuck in the second realm for a hundred years.
But if you take the bloody path, in a hundred years, as long as the resources can keep up, at least it will be the third realm, and the best of them can even touch the threshold of the fourth realm.
It's not even the first three realms.
In the first six realms, the Blood Dao cultivators all had an advantage, and it was not until the seventh realm, the Immortal Realm, that this advantage would disappear when they needed to comprehend immortality, and even seemed to have some disadvantages.
Just then again.
My generation of monks, there is no tomorrow today.
Immortal Realm, when was that?
Thinking about thousands of years ago, the Immortal Sect was still in full swing, what about now, it's not that you have to clamp your tail and be a man, even the Immortal Immortal Continent has been snatched away.
It's not that Jiang Xuan doesn't want to seek eternity.
It's just that eternity is too far away, and people always have to live in the present.
Describe it.
The Blood Dao Cultivator is strong in the early stage, relatively strong in the middle stage, and disadvantaged in the later stage.
The sword immortal in the immortal path is inferior in the early stage, relatively strong in the middle stage, and strong in the later stage.
Jiang Xuan also thought about it.
The introduction to the blood path is to be strong in the early and middle stages.
As for the later stage.
When that time comes, it's really not possible, let's change it again.
Then.
It's a thousand years later.
If the eldest brother is still alive, with his understanding, he is also an immortal giant.
When the time comes, we can return to our destiny and abandon the demons and follow the immortals.
Too tall to think.
can't be Zhu Wen, and if you go down, you can also be the king of Guiyi, Shi Siming.
As long as they don't give birth to sons.
The red world is worry-free.
