Zhao Daming smiled and said, "You're going to blame. Even if it's what you said, Brother Biao will always score a fat and thin score when he's talking to the flesh that's right?"

Luo Lie smiled wickedly and said, "Brother Biao will not divide fat and lean meat. No matter it is circled in the circle, tied on the pile, flying in the sky, or swimming in the water, as long as it is a piece of meat delivered to the door, there is no one who dares not cause trouble. Not to mention Anne Brasen, even Anne's mother, Brother Biao will dare to cause trouble."

Zhao Daming sighed: "When it comes to this, none of the more than ten brothers in Anliang Hall can compare to Brother Biao!"

He tried to make the tea in the tea cup cold, and Luo Lie drank some wine at the dinner party and said so many things, and he did drink some sips, so he picked up the tea cup and drank it clean in one breath. "This tea is not bad! Where did William get it?"

Zhao Daming was very surprised, looked at Luo Lie and said, "You are still in the mood to care about the source of this tea? I said Luo Lie, how can your heart be so big?"

Luo Lie opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "I said what do you think? Do you have to look at me and feel depressed and happy before you are happy? Things have come out. Whether you cry or laugh, aren't the problems all in front of you to solve step by step? Okay, don't you think too much, just tell me where William got this tea!"

Zhao Daming and Luo Lie have not been together for a long time, so they don’t know much about Luo Lie. If it were Dong Biao, there would be no need to listen to Luo Lie saying anything. Just looking at Luo Lie’s expression changes, you should understand that Luo Lie has already come up with a solution.

Zhao Daming, who was still confused, couldn't think of any tricks to help Luo Lie, so he could only obey Luo Lie's meaning and replied: "It's not just Chinese who like to drink tea, but British people like to drink tea. The teas sent by William were prepared by the base headquarters to entertain the British."

Luo Lie frowned and said, "No! Then why didn't Henry and Smith entertain us for tea when we were on Vincent Island?"

Zhao Daming smiled bitterly and said, "You ask me, who will I ask?"

Luo Lie did not delve into it, and pulled the topic back, saying, "The British tea is obviously different from our tea. Don't say it, the taste is really not worse than ours. It suits my taste very well. No, I have to ask William for more tomorrow and take it back and drink it slowly."

Zhao Daming thought that after finishing talking about tea, he should turn around and continue to discuss strategies to deal with Harris, but unexpectedly, Luo Lie put down the teacup, stretched, and was about to go away. "What are you doing? Are you going to the toilet?" Zhao Daming pointed in the opposite direction and said, "The toilet is there, you are going wrong."

Luo Lie then yawned again, half-covered his mouth and said, "What kind of toilet are you going to? I'm sleepy and I'm going to go back to bed."

Zhao Daming said: "Then how do you plan to reply to Harris?"

Luo Liehan smiled and said, "He said he had enough patience to wait for me to make the right decision. So what else can I say? Just let him wait."

Say it, do it.

Harris said that he was patient enough, but in fact, he wanted to get Luo Lie's answer as soon as possible because he was unsure. In the office, when Harris and Luo Lie were talking alone, the dazedness and speechlessness expressed by Luo Lie conveyed a message to Harris that he was reluctant and was not attracted by temptation. It was precisely because Harris captured this message that the word "correct" was added to the last sentence.

Harris believed that with Luo Lie's intelligence, he would definitely be able to understand the weight of the word he added.

Even so, Harris still had no idea about Luo Lie.

Anne Braisson is not his daughter of Harris. Whoever Anne likes and doesn't like, actually has nothing to do with him. As a family uncle, he only has the obligation to bless his niece Anne's personal emotional affairs but has no right to interfere. He knew very well that he could not hold back Anne's coquettish begging and agreed to Anne's request to be a lobbyist. This was originally an inappropriate thing. But the words were said and it was impossible to take them back, so he had to bite the bullet and walk forward. If Luo Lie agreed, everything would be easy. As for what his old friend Adam Braisson had, it would be a private matter between their father and daughter. Toward east or west, it had nothing to do with him.

But the question is, will Luo Lie agree?

If the result of Luo Lie's flat rejection came, where will Harris's old face be put?

What's bad is that judging from Na Luo Lie's expression during the conversation, the possibility of being flatly rejected is far greater than the possibility of being readily accepted.

Although Harris is just a lieutenant general, and in the army, he has a higher status than him. Moreover, in terms of age, he is over 60 years old. If there is no longer a major war and he makes new achievements, the possibility of further advancement and taking up the rank of general is almost zero. However, in terms of importance, he is important in the naval sequence of the United States of America.

During the war with the Spanish Empire ten years ago, it was Harris who led the heroic army of the United States of America and advanced rapidly without being favored. In just three months, he drove the army of the Spanish Empire, which was still arrogant at that time, into the sea, thus establishing the ruling power of the United States of America on the large island of Cuba. In other words, if Harris had not been in charge of the Santiago military base, the large island of Cuba would have never been as peaceful as it is now.

The status of the Supreme Emperor has made the mentality of the Supreme Emperor Harris. In Cuba, no one dared to contradict him, nor did anyone dare to say no to him. Even his upsurge must maintain sufficient respect when talking to him. Otherwise, once Harris gave up his pick, the Navy headquarters of the United States of America would not be able to find a suitable candidate to replace him.

In this case, Harris was worried that Luo Lie would say no to him.

If the waiter was really Luo Lie's flattery, and if he had done such a big favor to his old friend, Harris would definitely not be able to take any revenge or punishment to Luo Lie. He could only watch others leave. Being ruthlessly rejected and helpless, this would be a huge loss of face for Harris, which would definitely be a result that he would never accept.

Based on this, Harris thought about it and thought, and finally decided to take the initiative. He should give him enough pressure before Luo Lie makes a decision, so that he can only say "good" but not "no".

On the other hand, Luo Lie was not idle either. Sleeping came. He originally wanted to put his worries aside before going to bed to sleep, but when Luo Lie wiped his face, washed his feet, and lay on the bed, the damn insomnia broke out. Xiao Gu Ting was accompanying him all the way. Whenever it was night, when he heard the even breathing of Xiao Gu Ting from the bed next to him, Luo Lie always felt very at ease, and insomnia could not bother him.

But in this base guesthouse, William arranged a single room for everyone in order to show his enthusiasm. Unable to hear the breathing of Xiao Gu Ting, Luo Lie lost the sense of peace in his heart, and insomnia followed him.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep, so Luo Lie simply put on his clothes and got out of bed, came to the window, and pushed open the window.

In the northwest direction of Vincent Island, San Diego does not have much difference in latitude or longitude, but in terms of climate, the two places are completely different. Vincent Island clearly lives in summer. When you go to bed at night, you only need to cover a thin quilt, or even no need to cover a quilt. When the hottest time of the day, you will sweat all over your body with short sleeves. But San Diego can only be said to be warm during the day, but there is obvious coolness at night.

The base headquarters is built on a small peninsula on the coastline, and the guesthouse is only a hundred meters away from the coast. When you open the window and don’t have to look far away, you can see the sea. The moon is bright and bright, the night sky is full of stars, the sea is dark and deep, and the waves are pleasant. In such a refreshing scenery, Luo Lie’s mood can naturally be fully soothed.

During the conversation with Zhao Daming, Luo Lie had already thought of a countermeasure, but at that time it was just a flash of inspiration. He intuitively thought it was feasible, but he had not yet considered the details and still had some key points in it. He couldn't sleep at the moment, and he could just do a careful calculation in such a beautiful scenery. He either didn't play or play, and if he wanted to play, he would play a beautiful battle of wisdom. Not only did he achieve the goal and let Harris meet all his requirements, but he also had to be able to successfully and completely get rid of Anne Brasen's various entanglement possibilities.

To put it bluntly, it is just to find a way to make Anne Braisson lose interest in himself.

Love is very mysterious. The more you can't get it, the more you think about it. If you directly reject Anne Braisson, whether it is flat or polite, you may not let her die in a while. Maybe it will trigger her rebound and make unexpected and intense reactions. Therefore, the best way is to expose a desperate and even disgusting shortcomings, so that Anne Braisson will give up on himself.

For example, there are great shortcomings in the abilities that men should have.

This method is obviously the most effective, but Luo Lie was the first to eliminate it because if you want to verify this deficiency, you will have to go through some preludes, and this prelude behavior is unacceptable to Luo Lie.

Besides that, what other good solutions are there?

Luo Lie thought of the strategy of lying that he had entered the palace, but it was just a thought, and then it was abandoned. This was like another idea, pretending that there was something wrong with his orientation. Although it could achieve satisfactory results, it was really not very good for his reputation when it was spread.

Or, if you lied that you had an incurable disease, you would be unable to die at any time, but with your current medical level, you would be powerless.

When this idea came into being, Luo Lie was very excited, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and sighed. Not to mention that he could not think of the specific name of this disease, even if he thought of it, it might not be of much use for Anne Braisson. How could he live a steadfast life with such a young lady? As long as he had enough pleasure in front of him, how could he care about the long-term things behind him?

The direction of solving the problem is in front of you, and this direction is absolutely correct. However, as soon as you take a step along this direction, you encounter an obstacle that you can't get around. If someone else was there, you would definitely be very upset. But for Luo Lie, it was like a mathematician who encountered a difficult math problem. Although he thought about it repeatedly but could not get the answer, his interest and desire to solve the problem became stronger and stronger.

Finally, under the reflection of the moonlight, Luo Lie showed a proud smile.

The next morning, William came to the guesthouse to have breakfast with everyone. After breakfast, William suggested taking everyone out for a walk, saying that there are still many scenery in San Diego worth seeing. Anyway, he couldn't leave for a while, and he had nothing to do in his room, so Luo Lie agreed to William's proposal on behalf of everyone.

The six people were indeed a bit crowded in a military sedan, and the short distance was fine. For example, yesterday, it was only two miles away from the base headquarters to the military port. It was fine if everyone squeezed, but if they went out to see the scenery and squeezed like yesterday, it would be a bit overwhelming. Therefore, William changed into a cabin personnel carrier, and the carriage behind could accommodate twenty people.

When getting on the bus, William invited Luo Lie alone to the cab. The reason was very legitimate. As a driver and tour guide, he was too lonely in the cab alone and was prone to sleep. Among the people, only Luo Lie could chat with him best, so he had to invite Luo Lie to the cab.

The cab has a wide view and comfortable seats, which is a special treatment, and Luo Lie's natural joyful acceptance. In fact, even if William does not give an invitation, Luo Lie will not let go of the seat of the passenger seat of the cab, but William made an invitation in a superfluous manner. This only means that William has other intentions.

Sure enough, as soon as the car got on the road, William proved that Luo Lie's judgment was completely correct.

"Nuoli, Annie originally wanted to go out with us, but I stopped her." William turned his face and glanced at Luo Lie, saying meaningfully: "Do you know why I stopped her?"

Luo Lie pretended to be surprised and replied, "Yes, why did you stop her? This car is so big, it doesn't matter if there is one more person?"

William looked at Luo Lie again, sighed softly, and said, "Because I want to talk to you about Anne alone. With her here, I'm afraid you will be disturbed by her and will say something against my will."

Luo Lie smirked secretly and told William clearly, please rest assured, no matter what, I will not tell you the truth. But on the surface, Luo Lie looked confused and replied, "How could I say something against my will to you?"

William said: "I know you don't like Anne, and the general knows that you don't like Anne, but you should understand the relationship between the general and Anne. For the general, he really doesn't want to see Anne suffer any grievances, so he made that request to you last night."

Luo Lie nodded and responded: "I can understand that in fact, what General Harris said makes sense. Men put career first, and Anne's father and General Harris can indeed give me great help. However, you said just now, I don't like Anne. At this point, I don't want to deceive you and General Harris against my will. So, I'm very conflicted now. I think I still need some time to make full consideration. Should I focus on career first or do it casually? This is really a very difficult choice for me."

William showed a little relief, he nodded and looked at Luo Lie and said, "So, you are not planning to refuse at once?"

Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why should I refuse it at once? Although I don't like Anne, I don't dislike money and status. To be honest, for a man, money and status are much more important than so-called love, right? William."

William smiled slightly and said, "I agree with your point of view very much. Love without money and status is just a colorful bubble that cannot withstand the slightest pressure. Once it breaks, it will disappear. But with money and status, beautiful love will become your daily routine. When you are hungry, you can eat at any time and be full, and you can push it aside at any time, and you can change your patterns every day."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "I am not as fickle as you said, but I must admit that your point of view is completely correct. William, let me tell you the truth. General Harris's suggestion has indeed touched my heart. You should be able to understand that no one can be indifferent when facing that kind of temptation. However, I have to take time to convince myself that this time may be one day, maybe two days, but it may only take five minutes."

William nodded and said, "I can fully understand. Nuoli, as a friend, I still want to remind you that I have agreed to the general's suggestion. For you, you have indeed benefited a lot. Not to mention anything else, just talk about Robut's cigar clearance. As long as the general's acquiesce, any customs in Cuba can be unblocked. Moreover, I can also help you stop the illegal behavior of other cigar vendors. Just this item, you can get benefits to an astonishing number."

Luo Lie sneered in his heart, "You damn, what kind of reminder is this? This is clearly a threat. Isn't your uncle just trying to use this to get the master's neck?"

"This is just one of the very general benefits. William, to tell you the truth, I don't intend to intervene in Robut's cigar business. His business looks very attractive, but there are obvious bottlenecks upwards. In my vision, investing in factories, such as the most intimate glass products factory on the market, is an opportunity to make a fortune." Luo Lie suppressed the resentment in his heart and said freely: "The biggest cost of producing special glass is not raw materials, but the site and labor,

The labor force in the United States of America is really too expensive, including my fellow countrymen, whose labor costs are extremely high compared to the Cuba area. But if I can get the support of General Harris, I can use Mr. Robut to build the largest specialty glass factory in North America in San Diego or somewhere else. At that time, I have the cheapest site cost and labor cost. So who else can compete with me in the market?"

It was the period of rapid economic growth in the United States of America, and the federal government had included the development of the West Coast in the important agenda for the next three years. Infrastructure in various places is in full swing, and factories of all sizes are like mushrooms after a rain. Especially the rapid development of the automobile industry, the demand for glass, especially special glass can be said to be rising. If it is really possible to win a sufficient site at an extremely low price, and then recruit a large number of local workers with a meager salary, as long as the production process can reach an advanced level and the quality of the products produced is reasonable, then once the products are put on the market, they will inevitably be invincible.

The logical rigor made William believe in Luo Lie’s nonsense.

"Nuoli, you are really a genius. I must admit that I was shocked by your business idea." William was a little excited, and this excitement seemed to be touched, not intentional disguise. "To be honest, I really want to take off my military uniform and join your glass factory to serve you, because I have seen the most spectacular business prospects."

Luo Lie shrugged and said disapprovingly: "This is just one of the ideas. In fact, between Cuba and the United States, we still have many things to try. With General Harris' support here and Congressman Adam Breson's care, I really can't think of a reason to not make a lot of money. I heard that Mr. Congressman is trying to run for the governor of California. While wishing him success, I also made some prospects. William, how can the land prices in Los Angeles and Kingsoft in California in the next three years? Double? Double? Eight or ten times? I think it is possible."

William excitedly said: "If Mr. Breson can be successfully elected as governor of California, then buying land in Los Angeles and Kingsoft will not be a problem. Noli, when you are ready to buy land, don't forget my old friend, I really hope to participate in it."

Luo Lie said: "The Anliangtang organization I belong to has long seen this business opportunity, but as a yellow person, it is impossible to buy the best quality land. Moreover, almost no bank will lend us yellow persons. How many land can we buy based on our own savings?"

William's eyes shone with a strange light and said anxiously: "But if you marry Anne, it's different. With this identity, countless white people will rush to cooperate with you, and those bankers will no longer wear a pair of tinted glasses to see you. You will get countless resources and funds. As long as it is the plot you like, you will definitely be able to get it!"

Luo Lie sighed: "Who said no! So, I really can't think of a reason to reject General Harris's suggestion, just because I don't like it? Is this reason too naive?"

William smiled and nodded, saying, "I am very fortunate, Nuoli, I think it would be too naive if you rejected the general's advice only for this reason."

Luo Lie shook his head, sighed, and said, "The reason is very simple, but the emotion is a bit complicated! William, I am a person who can't deceive others, and I can't deceive myself. I can promise General Harris at any time, but how should I face Miss Anne?"

William smiled and said, "The general's advice is not to ask you to marry Anne immediately, but to recommend that you date her as a boyfriend and girlfriend first. Anne is very beautiful and has a pretty figure, but there are some problems with her personality. When you get used to it, you may really fall in love with her."

Luo Lie glanced at William and smiled and said, "Don't talk anymore. What I worry about is Miss Anne. If she knew that I was tempted by the future that General Harris said, I would be willing to date her, how would she react? Will she kick me away in anger? If this is the case, I would be embarrassed."

William said: "You don't have to worry about this. Anne is still very familiar with the world. Until now, she still thinks that you like her. But because of her status and skin color, she dare not talk to her. It can be seen that you don't like her. She is the general and me, and the general and I have not made this clear to Anne."

Luo Lie felt as if he had suddenly relaxed, and nodded, "Then I'm relieved, William, although I'm still hesitating, you can report to General Harris at any time and say I'm willing to accept his advice."

When thinking about countermeasures independently of the window at night, Luo Lie thought of this problem. General Harris must have something extraordinary to sit at such a high position. When he was talking in the office, his performance would definitely make Harris see that he did not like Anne. If he accepted the suggestion rashly, it would probably only arouse Harris' suspicion. It was not certain that he would not have asked to date first, and it would be impossible to force him into the bridal chamber.

Therefore, there was a big mess between him and William just now, in order to make William believe his lies in a gradual state. William, who is the most direct subordinate of General Harris, will inevitably report the entire process to Harris. Luo Lie believes that as long as he successfully deceives William, Harris' suspicion will be reduced to a minimum.

After this, you can implement your real plan to achieve the most satisfactory results.

For William, the conversation with Luo Lie in the car was indeed in line with normal logic. Luo Lie showed a desire for money and status, and it did not conceal the fact that he did not like Anne. After a painful decision, can the final decision not be true?

William has a 100% affirmation about this.

The scenic spots are beautiful and enjoyable. The most important thing is that William, as the host, got the results he wanted, and Luo Lie, as the core of the guest, also achieved the goals he wanted to achieve.

I simply deal with a meal outside at noon. After lunch, Luo Lie suggested that I arrange the attractions I planned to visit in the afternoon until tomorrow. This period of the afternoon can be used to shop and buy some local specialties or products you like.

Men don’t like shopping. Not only William can’t understand this, but even Zhao Daming frowned.

"I don't understand this, right? So, you can't become a successful businessman." Luo Lie patted Robut on the shoulder and said, "Robut, tell them that if you want to become a successful businessman, should you be good at seizing business opportunities at all times?"

Robut naturally nodded and said yes.
To be continued...
