"Oh Edward, my dear friend, I know that you have a good and will not forget that I am to myself.

Rest assured, flattery and 'food protection' are what I do best, otherwise how would people call me 'the Hound of Wall Street'." Charlie was really excited to make a promise to his friend this time.

At the same time, Zhang Lisheng had already left New York City and drove the 'Explorer' onto the suburban roads.

Because of the construction of New Harbor in New York, the newly expanded highway appeared very spacious, and the boy unconsciously increased the accelerator, and after a while, Mutesloe appeared in front of him.

About one-tenth of the nine-square-kilometer saline-alkali land has been turned into a neatly planned factory, where hundreds of trucks pull in every day with livestock waiting to be slaughtered, contributing about 300,000 meters of net profit to Zhang Lisheng.

Turning around and onto the noisy side road leading to the workshop, the explorer drove to the sentry box in front of the gate and stopped, the window of the car dropped, and the boy leaned out and asked, "Good afternoon, have the people from the Farmers' Federation arrived?"

Although the LS slaughterhouse is self-service, it has reached the point where it is now, and in order to operate normally, it still employs hundreds of employees to support it.

After the factory had more than 10 employees, Zhang Lisheng had no intention of remembering the names of those new employees, but as the big boss of the company, his face was something that every employee of LS Group would definitely remember.

"No, Mr. Zhang, they haven't arrived yet, do you need me to inform your secretary to urge?"

"No, help me drive the car into the workshop. I'm out there. ”

Although the new LS slaughterhouse is an enterprise that monopolizes the market and can operate on its own, without Zhang Lisheng's personal management, he has been in charge of a large company for a long time, and he speaks in front of employees, even if it is just a whim, it still naturally shows full authority.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang. The security guard hurriedly nodded to the boss who opened the door and got out of the car, greeted the colleagues who were looking around and pretending to be serious supervisors, and helped Zhang Lisheng drive the car into the workshop.

And by this time the boy was already along the coast. Walked to New York, which is still under construction.

Visually. Newport is located next to the new LS slaughterhouse, but it's actually a 10-minute walk on both feet.

Fortunately, the original wasteland and wilderness have been rammed very flat, and Zhang Lisheng came to the periphery of the harbor construction site without difficulty. See with the help of advanced heavy machinery. It turned out that the shoal had been excavated into a deep harbor.

The vast coastline is framed with steel bars. The entire coverage of the cement blocks poured into one piece, it seems, more than half a year to intensify construction. The port is already taking shape.

Outside the fence of the warning sign on the construction site, in addition to the teenagers watching, dozens of demonstrative people were sparsely scattered.

Whenever the government has a large-scale public project to build, there are always citizens who think that it is destroying the original appearance or natural environment of the city, and hold signs to demonstrate in their free time.

Just now, I saw Zhang Lisheng coming from a distance, and felt that the momentum was extraordinary, and some demonstrators even stood up deliberately, waving the slogan in their hands and shouting, "Nature is ecology...";

"Destroying the environment is like wasting wealth...";

"We are members of nature...", and other slogans, demonstrating to him.

When they saw the young man's face clearly, some of those people laughed at themselves and sat back on the ground.

Some of them preached to the teenagers, "Young people, we only have one earth, and it is absolutely forbidden for the government to wantonly destroy the environment...", apparently trying to drag him into the crowd of demonstrators.

It is a pity that as the invisible biggest beneficiary in the process of building New York's new port, Zhang Lisheng will definitely not get together with the demonstrators who oppose the construction of the new port.

As if he hadn't heard the demonstrators' demagoguery, he looked at the hundreds of cranes on the construction site as if they were playing a jigsaw puzzle, filling the void in the harbor where the skeleton had been formed, and there was a look of amazement on his face.

"It's spectacular, young man. Just as the young 'Wu' sighed with emotion at the greatness of modern technology, an old voice suddenly came from behind him.

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, turned around suspiciously, and saw an old man with thinning hair but very neatly combed behind him, looking at the busy dock construction site from afar, showing a look of memory, "It will take at least three or four years to build a large seaport when I am young.

Now, with more and more 'machine monsters' on the construction site, it can be completed in a year at most..."

Facing the old man who accosted him inexplicably, Zhang Lisheng smiled politely, but did not answer anything.

"Do you know that after this beach was built in New Harbor, New York, it was over there" Not caring that the boy had no desire to talk to him at all, the old man pointed in the direction of the LS factory and continued: "There will be another brand new military base"

Hearing this, Zhang Lisheng couldn't help but be stunned, and at this time, a speeding dark green jeep stopped beside the old man and interrupted him.

In the back seat of the car, a man who looked about the same age as the old man, wearing a thick black leather jacket with a depressed expression, shouted dissatisfiedly: "Henry, what are you crazy again, you ran here in the blink of an eye, we are here to survey the terrain, aren't we..."

"Bob, I've done the survey, and the idea is to put the base next to Newport, New York. The old man named Henry waved his hand unscrupulously in front of Zhang Lisheng and said.

It seems that the construction of a military base near New York City has become imperative, and there is no need for secrecy.

"There's never been a precedent for placing a military base next to a civilian port, but since you suggested, of course there are good reasons...

You get in the car first, we'll discuss this matter slowly, it's been a long time since I've been to New York, I'll invite you to a special steak at Dubock's restaurant. ”

"It's steak again, can't you never eat enough beef..."Henry muttered and waved his hand at Zhang Lisheng, "I'll see you again, young man." Get into the jeep and drive away.

Zhang Lisheng didn't know that he was wandering around the Newport construction site in New York on a whim, and he actually met the chief defense adviser and defense minister of the United States who chose the site for the 'New York Inland Sea Military Base'.

But thinking of the otherworldly passage in the sea not far from New York, he instinctively chose to believe what the old man said, and walked back to his workshop thoughtfully.

In the lobby on the first floor of the two-story single-family office building for his exclusive use, Zhang Lisheng met Edward and Charlie, who were sitting on the sofa and waiting patiently for him.

"Oh, Attorney Edward, I didn't expect you to arrive, why didn't you call me?"

"Before you officially appointed me as the Chief Legal Officer of LS Group, I was still charging by the hour for your services, and I earned as much as I could. Edward said humorously.

At this moment, his attitude towards Zhang Lisheng has also been faintly different before, and he seems closer and more respectful.

"Ha, you're kidding.

Mr. Charlie, it's been a few days, are you okay?"

"Very nice, Mr. Li Sheng, I am always in a very good mood when I work for you. The stocky Charlie jumped up as if he had a spring under his buttocks, smiling all over his face.

"I'm also in a good mood to see you, let's go upstairs," Zhang Lisheng used his fingerprints and pupils to open the silver metal door that only he could open to the room on the second floor, and instructed the newly hired secretary, "Maddie, bring us two cups of coffee and a Coke." ”

New York University, which has a relaxed admission system, has a lot of free time to work for the 'master', and her image is completely different from when she used to work at a burger restaurant.

With a pair of black-rimmed glasses on her delicate, serious face, she replied, "Yes, Mr. Li Sheng." He grinded and filtered two cups of fragrant black coffee with his hands and feet, and picked the coolest can of Coke from the refrigerator and poured it into the glass.

Walking up to the second floor with a drink, the girl faintly heard on the stairs, "That's it, Attorney Edward."

I suspect that another military base in the country will soon be built outside of New York, and you say that they will not expropriate the land of our factory. ”

"This is really incredible, Mr. Li Sheng, to build a military base in the super-metropolitan area, there is no precedent in the history of the United States.

However, this is not impossible in the current anti-terrorism situation, and after the Hawaii incident, the government may take unprecedented protective measures for densely populated and crowded cities.

But rest assured, there is coastal wasteland outside of New York, and they can't take our land.

According to the current profit of the factory, the military will pay you at least 1 billion yuan for the expropriation of these nine square kilometers of saline-alkali land, which is definitely not worth the loss. ”

"In this case, I will rest assured," After listening to Edward's analysis, Zhang Lisheng breathed a sigh of relief, took the Coke sent by the secretary, and took a big sip, "Xie Lu Xie, Maddie, there is still a job to be handed over to you, to draft a letter of appointment for Edward's lawyer as the chief legal officer with no equity and profit sharing." ”

"Yes, Mr. Li Sheng. "For the first time, I got rid of the identity of a 'waiter' and accepted the important work ordered by the teenager," Tina said excitedly as she clenched her fists.

There were program files on the computer, and the girl had carefully studied the professional knowledge of the business secretary, and soon a decent letter of appointment was drafted.

After carefully reading the document from beginning to end several times, Tina felt that there was no mistake or omission, so she took a deep breath, went up to the second floor, and pretended to be natural and sent the appointment letter to Zhang Lisheng.

The young man's eyes swept over the document at a glance and nodded, "Show it to Attorney Edward." ”

The girl quietly breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the letter of appointment to Edward.

When it was the lawyer's turn to read it, his attitude seemed very serious, but because the document was so standard that it was beyond reproach, Edward finally signed his name happily. (To be continued.) )
