Zhang Lisheng's words were merciless, pointing to the core of the controversy, and the people in the wooden house looked at each other, obviously not expecting that this young man who was said to have suffered a head wound could speak so sharply.

After a moment of silence, Howard said frankly: "Sure enough, it's like the Bible says, 'greed is the greatest original sin', you are right, Li Sheng, we planned it this way, things have come to this point, and we can only listen to your conditions." ”

"My condition, Mayor Howard, don't you know that I was in a terrible shipwreck a month ago, and my mind is now in turmoil?

My lawyer, Mr. Wells, and Mr. Charlie, the commercial representative, have not been negotiating with you, and their terms are my terms. ”

"Oh, young man, don't talk about those two damned Jews, they can squeeze oil out of the stones, and since you accepted my invitation, it means that you are also interested in reconciling with us, don't you?

According to your price, self-slaughtering pigs is only 50 meters, cattle are 150 meters, and sheep are 40 meters, and the people in this house represent the 47 village and town farmers' associations in the suburbs of New York, and we are willing to jointly contract all your slaughter shares, with only one additional condition that all the properties under your name shall not sign commercial contracts with California farms in the future. ”

After listening to Wells's words, Zhang Lisheng walked to the only empty chair in the crowded wooden house and sat down, and said in a serious tone: "Mayor Howard, I understand that the 'Farmers' Federation' has a decisive weight in the Chinese society, but we have an old saying in China called 'no desire is strong', I don't know if you have heard of it?"

"Li Sheng, Huaguo is on the other side of the world, too far away from Kathylan Town, can you make your words simpler?" Howard said with a wry smile.

Of course, this old saying says that a person does not have much desire. I will become strong, for example, my desire is to become a biologist, and everything I do now is to prepare for my future ideals.

And because I don't want to be a politician or a super-rich person in the future, I don't need to please anyone right now, no matter how powerful you are or how high the number of people you represent, I don't care."

"Besides, you now have the support of California farmers, or that is the same sentence. Make your terms, young man, as long as it's not too excessive, we can negotiate it. ”

"My conditions are very simple, the new LS slaughterhouse can be priced at 50 meters for pigs and 150 meters for cattle according to the previous price. Forty meters of sheep, priority will be given to the share of self-slaughter to the farmer federation near New York City, but there is an additional condition, that you, Mayor Howard, must be excluded from the contract. ”

Howard's body stiffened visibly, "Mr. Zhang Lisheng, are you expelling me from the board of directors of the Casheland Township Farmers' Federation in disguise?"

Zhang Lisheng didn't seem to hear Howard's question, silently got up from the wooden chair and walked out the door. Before leaving the door, he looked back and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Mayor Howard, everyone has to bear the consequences for everything they do, isn't it, you're out." ”

Two days later, the entire top floor of the only two-storey building on the new site of the SL slaughterhouse was opened. In a huge office surrounded by transparent tempered glass walls visible on all sides, Zhang Lisheng, witnessed by lawyers from both sides, and the New York metropolitan area, Big Cow Town, Stump Town, and Beduk Town... A total of 47 village and town peasant federations have signed contracts for the distribution of slaughter shares.

The contract is signed. Once the only husband and wife employee of the LS slaughterhouse, Willie and Tiffina, the head and assistant managers of the housekeeping department of the new expanded slaughterhouse, carefully pushed a 'cup tower' made of goblets into the office in a shiny food truck.

Zhang Lisheng personally took out two large bottles of top 'blueberry fruit' champagne from the freezer, stood on the chair brought by Willy, filled the cup tower, picked up the top glass of champagne and held it high, "Dear respected gentlemen, although there were many twists and turns and unpleasantness in the middle, we finally signed this heavy contract with our understanding and goodwill to each other.

From now on, we are partners, collaborators, friends who can trust each other, let us drink champagne to commemorate this beautiful moment, drink victory!"

This sincere toast was naturally not Zhang Lisheng's on-the-spot performance, but the handwriting of Charlie, the sophisticated and slick business representative found by his lawyer Wells.

Charlie, the real author of the toast, was also present at this time, and when Zhang Lisheng finished speaking, he stood up violently and applauded warmly, and the second one picked up the champagne, and said loudly in a very incendiary tone: "What a sincere and touching paragraph, it is really touching!"

Let's toast!"

Charlie's pretentiousness made Zhang Lisheng's scalp tingle, but what he didn't expect was that the representatives of the farmers' federation and the lawyers who were in a good fight with the commercial representative of the new LS slaughterhouse at the negotiating table applauded warmly, and they all flocked to the 'cup tower', holding champagne and cheering: "May our friendship last forever and drink victorious." ”

Zhang Lisheng paused for a moment, climbed off the office chair, and after clinking glasses with many people who were scrambling to clink glasses with him, he drank the champagne one by one.

The crowd cheered, and then an old white man with rough palms and a black suit suddenly grabbed his hand, "Young man, since you have become our 'partner, collaborator, and friend who can trust each other', then I hope you can join the Green Town Farmers' Federation and become our director." ”

"If you're not going to 'trip me up' quietly like Mayor Howard, I'd say I'm honored. Zhang Lisheng was stunned again and said with a smile.

"The people who tried to trip you were the last to be tripped up, and I think everyone in this room will remember this lesson, and we can clearly see how you treat your 'enemies,'" the old man smiled and pointed at Willy and Tiffina, "and how you treat your loyal subordinates." ”

"Mr. Grace is right, we hope to have your friendship, Mr. Zhang, on behalf of the Emerlett Township Farmers Association, I invite you to become our director. ”

"On behalf of Great Lakes, I invite you to be us..."

"I'm representing Stump Town..."

Like a raging flu, one infects two, two infects four, four infects eight... Soon, Zhang Lisheng was invited by all the contracted village and town farmers' federations to take up the position of directors.

Because of this episode, the signing ceremony was finally completed after a long time, and after sending off all the representatives of the farmers' federation and their lawyers, the first batch of livestock, which had been waiting outside the factory, was transported to the new LS slaughterhouse.

Soon, the number on the main screen of the monitor on the wall of the office began to beat constantly, and the number representing Zhang Lisheng's number of meters of money in the account exceeded 10,000 after a while.

"Luckily, I make money slightly faster than you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pay your expensive lawyer's fees. Zhang Lisheng looked at the more and more wealth accumulated on the screen, walked to the desk with a smile, wrote a check and handed it to Wells, "20,000 meters per hour, such a high fee but only do a little thing, it is really enviable." ”

"Mr. Li Sheng, you see that it is easy for me to make money now, but the efforts I made before I can collect this fee are unimaginable to ordinary people, and after I help you operate the company registered in an overseas island country, the annual tax avoidance funds will be several times the cost of hiring me. ”

"I'm just kidding Lawyer Wells, I certainly understand how much your professionalism has helped me, thank you for your help, just as I am grateful to Mr. Charlie. Zhang Lisheng said and wrote another check and handed it to Charlie.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Li Sheng, for your generous reward, it is fully worth my professional dedication, and I hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future. After Zhang Lisheng's lawyer and the temporary business representative who completed the mission were satisfied, they laughed a few words and showed that they were about to leave.

"Can Lawyer Wells answer my question for free?

I really don't understand how the representatives of the peasant associations can change so quickly, doesn't it mean that their unions have deep historical roots of hundreds of years?"

"Mr. Li Sheng, the strength of the peasant federations, like the trade unions, is based on the 'strength of the many', these people are essentially 'hillbillies', you have seized the common 'interests' of all their members, but they have nothing to do with you, in this case, you still expect them to be tough.

However, I really appreciate that when you have the upper hand, you can give in decisively and choose to sign the contract in a way that is satisfactory to both parties.

You are not destined to be an ordinary person in the future, and for a powerful person who wants to have a wide influence in all aspects of society, the concept of geography is actually very important, you were born and live in New York, and now you choose to stand on the same side as the New York City Farmers' Federation, which is very good for the future.

This question is free of charge, and I have made an appointment to meet with other parties in the evening, and then meet Mr. Li Sheng. Wells said something intriguing and said with a smile.

"I also take my leave, and see Mr. Li Sheng again. Charlie also waved at Zhang Lisheng and walked out of the office with Wells.

Zhang Lisheng was the only one left alone in the spacious office, he pondered Wells's words for a moment, stood up, walked to a glass wall, looked out the window at the long line of trucks driving into the workshop, and muttered: "It seems that in the final analysis, this world revolves around the word 'profit', and I seem to have grasped the trick of doing business."

It's a pity that for me, power and wealth are not the most desired 'benefits'..."

As he spoke, he opened his suit, unbuttoned his shirt, exposed his dry chest, spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and roared out a 'Jane' character, using the blood stains floating in the air, and wrote an ancient 'Jane' character on his chest one by one. (To be continued.) )
