Chapter six hundred and ninth full stop(2/2)

Cao Bin said in surprise: "How likely is this matter to pass the House of Representatives?"

Gu Haoran said: "It's almost a foregone conclusion."

Cao Bin said: "As long as you pass the House of Representatives and go to the Senate, it is just a formality. It seems that the West Coast will finally make its way."

Gu Haoran said: "I only learned about this news a few days ago. Abin, my brother gave you two words: buying land, buying as much as you can. Within three years, I estimate that the land price of Kingsoft will at least double."

Cao Bin showed joy on his face, raised his wine glass and said, "Brother, thank you for your support."

Gu Haoran said: "All of them are their own brothers, so you don't have to be polite!"

Cao Bin suddenly showed a look of embarrassment and said, "I'm going to hide it from you, I have invested a lot of money in building that glass factory. Now there is really not much cash that can be used in the hall..."

Gu Haoran interrupted Cao Bin with a smile and said, "I knew that among all the brothers, you Abin is the most inspiring one. Brother, I revealed the news to you, and of course I also want to make a big profit through you! This way, you can get the land after you go back, no matter how big it is, as long as it is the land that can be taken down, you can just get it. Brother, I will do the money. If you lose, all of it will be mine. If you make a profit, we will make a 50% 50% account."

Cao Bin said: "That won't work. If you take the principal and take the risk, how can you still share the debt with your brother? If you have a 30-7 yuan tax, I am already satisfied."

Gu Haoran said, "Don't have 307, I'm not 505, let's fold the middle, four or six, that's it!" After Gu Haoran finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and touched Cao Bin without hesitation, put it on his lips and dipped it in his lower lip.

Cao Bin picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

This is Gu Haoran's ability. When it comes to fighting and killing, Gu Haoran was a good player when he was young, but compared with Cao Bin, ten Gu Haorans could not compare to Cao Bin, and perhaps even Dong Biao. However, when it comes to doing business, ten Cao Bin could not compare to Gu Haoran. The two books stolen by Li Xilu not only record various gray businesses of tax evasion in the New York Hall, but also have various accounts with Washington. If the account book is exposed, it will not only be the New York Hall will be dead, but it will even cause an earthquake in Washington.

The two hall masters were talking about the big things the hall master should talk about, but Dong Biao, Zhao Daming, who was sitting in the lower head, had already started a lawsuit for drinking. Zhao Daming had already developed the habit of drinking less when he tried not to drink as much as possible. However, this habit did not work in front of Dong Biao. In order to please make things easier, Luo Lie followed Dong Biao and pointed the finger at Zhao Daming for drinking.

Zhao Daming was obviously cheating and said, "Brother Biao, this wine is all good wine collected by Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu also said, I, Zhao Daming, don't know wine at all, so, drinking this wine in my stomach is a waste, right?"

Dong Biao smiled and said, "Then what kind of wine do you drink is not wasteful? It doesn't matter. Brother Biao can come and drink Brother Gu's good wine next time, but today I have to stop getting drunk with you. Tell me, Brother Biao will drink whatever wine you want."

Luo Lie said to Feng: "I agree with Brother Biao's opinion. Brother Ming, so do you. If the master is not drinking, why do you want us as guests to drink?"

Zhao Daming used nonsense to resolve Dong Biao Luo Lie's attack and said, "Brother Biao, Brother Luo, do you two really don't know or pretend to be confused? The three bottles of wine you chose are all out of print wine. After drinking this bottle, there will be no next bottle. If you don't taste it for a few more, wouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life?"

If this is said from Gu Haoran, Dong Biao really needs to think about it seriously. However, Zhao Daming does not know how to drink, so how could Dong Biao believe in Zhao Daming's treacherous traits? "It is precisely because it is precious and out of print that I have to share it with my brothers. Are you right?"

Zhao Daming really couldn't find a reason to rude, so he had to sigh and drink with Dong Biao.

Good wine is good wine. When you drink it, it feels really a kind of enjoyment. Zhao Daming felt the mellowness of the wine. His long-depressed addiction finally couldn't help it, so he burst out and started to fight with Dong Biao.

But Luo Lie was so happy that he was so happy that he had to do the two. No one cared about him anymore, and there was only Qin Gang who didn't like to talk or toast on the table. Luo Lie naturally responded easily.

Although Zhao Daming's alcohol tolerance is not as good as Dong Biao, it is not easy for Dong Biao to defeat Zhao Daming. At least, after drinking all the three bottles of wine on the table, he will definitely not be able to drink Zhao Daming.

Especially after Gu Haoran talked about business with Cao Bin, he took a few bites and went back to rest. Cao Bin immediately joined the drinking camp, and the three bottles of wine were even less likely to pour Zhao Daming over.

"No, I have to ask Brother Gu for wine. He said, "Drink as much as I want. If I can't drink him Zhao Daming today, I won't go back to Jinshan!" Seeing that the three bottles of wine on the table were already seen, Dong Biao rolled up his sleeves and stood up.

Cao Bin pressed him down and said, "Are you planning to get out tomorrow? Do you have to drink enough? Leave some amount and go to see the master tomorrow. There are some things you can drink!"

As soon as Cao Bin spoke, Dong Biao immediately became depressed and obediently drank the remaining wine. He even finished the supper.

Zhao Daming then set up the tea table.

Cao Bin said: "You brothers and you guys will chat first. I will talk to A Biao and I will be back later."

Dong Biao stood up and went with Cao Bin, while Qin Gang was still helping to clean the dining table, and only Zhao Daming and Luo Lie were left beside the tea table.

"Brother, how did you see that Gu Ting is having a problem? Why didn't I notice the clue?" Zhao Daming grabbed the tea and couldn't help asking the question in his heart: "Is it because Gu Ting came from Miami that you suspected him?"

Luo Lie shook his head and said, "There are reasons for this, but they are insignificant. I had doubts about him at the beginning because of a coincidence in time. Li Xilu came to New York three years ago, while Gu Ting's family also came to New York three years ago, and they came to New York in the same month. This may be an accidental coincidence, but I have heard a saying that any accident has a certain degree of necessity."

Zhao Daming said: "I have thought about this, but Gu Ting's father is Mr. Gu's family after all, and they and Li Xilu did not come from the same place."

Luo Liedao: "But the fact is exactly the opposite. Li Xilu tampers with his experience. In the nearly thirty years before coming to New York, Li Xilu had been living in Miami. Moreover, he returned to Miami not to defect to a certain gang, but to his own gang."

Zhao Daming sighed and said, "Let me teach you a lesson!"

Luo Lie continued: "The coincidence of the time I came to New York alone cannot prove anything. In fact, I did not pay enough attention to this at the beginning, but his performance on the boat was a bit backfiring. He pretended to be a gambling master, but he did not dare to show his skills in front of me, especially when he was aggressively aroused by the foreman of the cruise casino, he was surprisingly calm. Not only did he not accept the challenge, but he never stepped into the casino again. Although his explanation was that he liked only challenges, not the winning or losing money, no casino master I had ever met could have been like him, and he had never even thought about it if he didn't enter the casino, which was absolutely illogical. So, from that time on, I really had some doubts about him."

Zhao Daming said: "After you said this, I realized a problem. When I brought him to see you that day, he was a little excited and eager to show himself."

Luo Lie said: "That's right, especially when I rejected him at the beginning, he tried his best to show his confidence, but those emotions could not hide his loss at that time. Later, when I nodded and agreed to take him to Miami, he tried his best to show a calm joy, but his actual mood was indeed relieved. Why was he feeling relieved? The only explanation was that he completed the first step of the task he was carrying."

Zhao Daming sighed: "It seems that this mind reading technique is really amazing! When I have time, I must learn this mind reading technique with you."

Luo Lie said in a humble manner: "I can't do it. I'm hindsight. If he hadn't played on the boat, I wouldn't have been able to push these doubts against it."

Zhao Daming waited for the water to boil, rinsed out the first tea, poured it for Luo Lie first, and then poured it for himself, and said, "If it were me, even if I was reminded, I would not be able to deduce these doubts."

Luo Lie said: "Brother Ming is humble. If it were you, you wouldn't be like me. You would have been stupid and had to stop seeing Li Xilu. Now I think about it, I am really a little scared. If I could control my emotions at that time, endure it, and wait until I contact Brother Bing before making a decision, I wouldn't have ended up being surrounded by hundreds of people."

Zhao Daming picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "No matter what, Brother Daming has to thank you very much. Oh, by the way, how did you deal with Gu Ting?"

Luo Lie said: "I released it."

Zhao Daming was shocked and said, "I let him go? Why did I let him go? I still want to settle the score with his father!"

Luo Lie said: "I don't know why I let him go. Anyway, I couldn't bear to attack him, and I couldn't bear to see Brother Bin attack him."

Zhao Daming thought for a while and said, "Since you let him go, there is no need for me to settle the score with his father. Maybe his father is not aware of it. Even if his father is involved in this matter, Li Xilu is dead and his gang is over, so this matter should come to an end."

The head of the main hall, Ou Zhiming, is already an elderly man over 60 years old.

Since he came to the United States of America for eight years in Tongzhi, Mr. Ou has lived on this land for forty years. During these forty years, Mr. Ou has never returned. It is not that he does not love the hot land where he has given birth to him, but that he is really disappointed with the Qing Dynasty. He dared not go back, for fear that when he sees the corruption of the Qing Dynasty and the ignorance of his compatriots again, he will go crazy because he can't stand it.

This may be criticized as escaping reality. In fact, during the past forty years, Mr. Ou often blamed himself for not having enough courage to face this bloody reality. During the Wuxu period, Mr. Ou was really excited. In fact, Kang and Liang should be his students. Unfortunately, the change in Wuxu changed suddenly but ended abruptly, and the hometown was once again in a lifeless dark night.

After that, Mr. Sun and his organization emerged and became a thorn in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty. The slogan of "expelling the Tartars and restoring China" made Mr. Ou both excited and worried. He had already seen through the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty and determined that the principle of not breaking or establishing was not broken. However, the motherland was so weak and bullied by Western countries that he could no longer withstand the destruction of war and turmoil. The radicalism of Mr. Sun and his organization inevitably led to his concerns.

The two benefits are the most important, and the two harms are the least important. Old Ou weighed the pros and cons and talked with Mr. Sun many times, and finally understood Mr. Sun's philosophy and stood firmly on Mr. Sun's side. In the past ten years, he has given Mr. Sun and his organization great help in both material and spiritual levels. He dare not say that it is a ruining family and relief, but he has also lost all his money.

The day after returning to New York, Cao Bin took Dong Biao and Luo Lie to visit Mr. Ou.

Old Ou lives on the beach in Lower Manhattan. The house is not big, but it is built according to the design of his ancestors. It is just a courtyard house that enters and exits. The main hall facing north and south is a high and wide bungalow with three green tiles, red bricks, mahogany columns. There are four wing rooms on both sides of the east and west, and the main entrance is a firewood stove. Two cross-shaped paths separated the courtyard into four areas, planted with various fruits and vegetables.

Old Ou didn't know that Cao Bin was coming in advance, and was playing Go with a middle-aged man in his forties under the eaves in front of the main hall. However, when he saw Cao Bin leading Dong Biao and Luo Lie into the yard, Old Ou just looked up and took his eyes casually, then withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the chessboard. Cao Bin didn't say anything, and stood behind Old Ou silently and watched the chess game with interest.

The middle-aged man who played with Mr. Ou seemed to be very familiar with Cao Bin, but he looked at each other, nodded casually, then buried his head, and thought hard at the chessboard.

Dong Biao, who was used to being careless, now put a large bag aside like a young wife, and stood beside Cao Bin with his hands hanging down. Luo Lie, who had not been exposed to the smell of a farmhouse for a long time, was attracted by the four vegetable gardens, but seeing that there were not many chessboards in front of Old Ou, the game was long, so he simply slipped into the vegetable garden. He sniffed here and touched there. Finally, he picked a cucumber and didn't wash it. He rubbed it on his butt on his pants and started eating.

The game of Go has entered the middle stage, but because a black chess on the right of the middle-aged man was broken by the white chess, he had to work hard. The middle-aged man thought hard and took a clever move. Seeing that his two iron eyes were about to take shape, the middle-aged man's face couldn't help but look proud.

Old Ou played white chess. In order to kill white chess, he had already suffered many losses in other places. If he could not kill this black chess, even if he got a robbery, the white chess would probably lose the game because of insufficient real field. The black chess made a clever move. Cao Bin, who knew the chess theory, saw it and shook his head. The worst result of the black chess should also form a robbery, and the black chess on the board was obviously more robbery than the white chess.

Unexpectedly, Old Ou was prepared. As soon as the pride expression on the middle-aged man's face overflowed, Old Ou slapped a white piece on the position of Erluto. This son seemed to be dead, but the face of the middle-aged man suddenly changed. The pride expression naturally disappeared, and the confusion in his eyes showed in confusion and confusion. After a long time of calculation, the middle-aged man picked up a son and went down somewhere else.

Mr. Ou responded calmly.

The middle-aged man wanted to provoke trouble elsewhere in the chessboard, but he was resolved one by one by one by Mr. Ou. At the end, the middle-aged man sighed and gave in.

Cao Bin was puzzled and stepped forward and asked, "Brother Long, this son of the second tutor can be killed, why do you admit defeat?"

The man named Long smiled bitterly, and made a change on the chessboard, saying, "Killing can kill, but you see, after killing like this, it formed a form of taking off the boots. Those eyes still couldn't do it!"

Cao Bin couldn't help but sigh: "This Go is really profound!"

Old Ou grabbed the crutch beside him, clicked the ground, and said happily: "Abin, if you have time to learn more Go, I won't find anything to do every time you come to see me. If you can have Along's chess power, how comfortable it would be for us to drink tea and play chess!"

Cao Bin smiled and said, "I have no hope in this life. I just have a personality that I can't sit still. If I play chess with you like Brother Long, I will probably go crazy for three days at most."

Old Ou smiled and turned his eyes to Dong Biao, saying, "What about you, A Biao?"

Dong Biao chuckled and replied, "Abiao can't hold on for a day."

Old Ou raised his crutch and acted to poke Dong Biao. Dong Biao laughed and hid behind Cao Bin. "I saw a child just now. Where have you been running?"

Cao Bin looked around, but saw Luo Lie squatting beside the vegetable garden, using a dead branch to pick up insects on the vegetable leaves. "Luo Lie, the master of the main hall is calling you!"

Luo Lie hurriedly threw down the dead branches in his hand, stood up and walked over: "Hello, Master of the Main Hall, I have met Master of the Main Hall."

Old Ou smiled and said, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Luo Lie lit out embarrassedly and said, "I only ate half of the tomatoes I just picked."

Old Ou smiled and said, "Is it delicious?"

Luo Lie nodded and laughed, "It's delicious! I just ate a cucumber."

Old Ou smiled and said, "It's a blessing that you have this kind of good fortune. I sealed these gardens the day before yesterday. I saw that the weather was good and the temperature was not low these two days, so I opened them and sealed them so that these vegetables could see the sunshine."

Luo Lie said: "It's time to start winter. It's not easy for the Lord of the Main Hall to grow these summer and autumn fruits here."

Mr. Ou has been retiring from the world for nearly ten years. Playing chess and growing vegetables is his only two hobbies. Compared to playing chess, Mr. Ou is more proud of his vegetable growing skills. Therefore, Luo Lie's inadvertent praise benefited Mr. Ou.

The man named Long said proudly: "That's not it. Looking at the entire New York City, in this season, only here can we eat such seasonal vegetables."

Luo Lie bit the tomato in his hand and said, "So, I really can't help but eat it."

Old Ou laughed and said, "Among the young people who come to me, you can do it without restraint. Sometimes I will think, am I so serious? Is it so scary?"

Cao Bin said: "It's not fear, it's awe."

Old Ou snorted and said, "That's not the same thing? Xiao Luo Lie, come and judge the manager, is the chief master amiable?"

Luo Lie nodded repeatedly and said, "As soon as I saw you, I remembered my grandfather from my hometown. Grandpa loved me the most."
