My courtyard shelter

"I hear the meaning in your words, are you envious?"

"Dad, they are indeed better than ours. This good guy directly controls a state, covering an area of ​​more than two million square kilometers. It is like covering the sky with one hand. Let's be honest, the gap is a bit big."

Dabao answered truthfully.

Xu Dong immediately warned: "Third brother, let me tell you, the issues here are very complicated. Even if someone gives you a large piece of land for free, you can't take it."

"Why not?"

"Have you read all these years in vain? In short, the situation here is very complicated. You can buy properties outside, but don't even think about setting up a small independent kingdom. If someone catches you, you will suffer."

"Then how can Uncle Liu and the others do this?"

Dabao also grew up listening to the stories of Liu Xin and others. They are comparable to the 108 generals in Water Margin. He also has the dream of making achievements.

"You, Uncle Liu, and the others are starting from scratch? Are you?" Xu Dong said angrily.

"What does it matter?"

"It's not as simple as you think. Our family can barely be considered a business leader now. This is both an honor and a target. We should be more cautious in doing things. If you are happy, what will the people above think?"

"Dad, I was joking."

Dabao smiled.

At the same time, I also realized the seriousness of the matter.

On a smaller scale, this matter may be suspected of transferring assets; on a larger scale, it may be linked to collusion with foreign forces, or even accusations of treason.

"Just figure it out yourself. In addition, I want to remind you that Mr. Gui especially likes to use honey traps. Be careful and don't fall for it."

Dabao was suddenly shocked: "I know."

…

Early the next morning, after breakfast.

Dabao signed an investment agreement with Mr. Lawrence, and shortly after the signing was completed, the other party directly transferred 75 billion in funds to Xinke Seaweed's account at once to show his sincerity.

Such trust made Dabao feel a little moved.

"Mr. Lawrence, please rest assured that our Xinke Seaweed is definitely a company with potential. I guarantee that this investment will not disappoint you."

"Haha..." Lawrence smiled, "Actually, making money is secondary. Being able to meet young heroes like you, Director Xu, is our biggest gain."

"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it. Compared with the seniors, the juniors still have a lot to learn."

Dabao quickly said modestly.

Vicki’s father Matthew immediately echoed:

"It's so rare for young people to be neither arrogant nor impetuous. You've exceeded my "

"Thank you!"

"Grandpa, Dad, is there anything else? If nothing happens, I'm going to take Xu away. We have an appointment to go to Black Bakriso today. If we don't leave, we won't be able to catch lunch." Vicki couldn't help but interrupt.

After hearing this, Vicki immediately lifted up her skirt, curtsied to everyone, and then walked out of the conference room holding Dabao's arm.

After seeing off the guests, Matthew went straight to Mr. Lawrence:

"Father, is it worth the investment?"

"Didn't I explain it to you? Daxia is a humane society, which is different from ours. If you want to get something, you have to pay first. Why don't you understand?"

"But I really don't see anything special about this young Director Xu."

"Put away your arrogance!" Mr. Lawrence glared at his eldest son: "What qualifications do you have to look down on others? You are the chairman of the board at a young age. Look at you, you will be fifty years old soon, and you still want me to worry."

"Father, I can take over now."

Matthew suppressed his anger.

"Stupid, am I greedy for power? You still can't meet the requirements for succession. Especially now, the situation on the mainland is complicated and changing rapidly. Forcibly pushing you to the position will only harm the entire family."

Mr. Lawrence yelled loudly.

"No way, I'm stronger than anyone else."

"This is a very despicable and sinister world. I don't care how strong you are. If you still can't recognize the reality, I'd rather let Vicki take over."

Matthew's defense suddenly broke: "Okay, then tell me, what is the reality in your mouth?"

"Reality rises in the east and sets in the west. This world is currently the world of the East. Put away your arrogance. Arrogance will only obscure your eyes and affect your judgment." Mr. Lawrence taught Dundun.

"Didn't I behave well just now?"

Matthew was a little unconvinced.

"No matter how good you act, it can't be true. If you really let go of your arrogance, you won't have the question you just asked. You have been to Yahu, why are you unwilling to accept the reality?"

"No need."

Matthew puffed up his chest on the spot:

“I admit that Asia’s comprehensive strength is very strong, but why do we have to compare with one country?

Looking at the whole world, the Lawrence family is definitely not inferior to any other family. We are the kings of the world, and we don’t need to please anyone..."

Mr. Lawrence immediately interrupted: "Shut up, there is an old saying in Daxia, if the skin is gone, the hair will be gone? How long do you think this broken ship America can sail?"

"Even without America, we still have Northern Amazon and we can still live well."

Mr. Lawrence shook his head, picked up the newspaper on the table and threw it over:

"Look at today's headlines."

"European Union releases third five-year plan and tenth anniversary results report"

Matthew read the title directly.

"It has only been ten years, and the European Union has achieved such great achievements, and they built it on a poor and blank basis. This is the so-called institutional advantage, and it is also the general trend of the future world."

Old man Lawrence sighed.

Matthew's hands holding the newspaper trembled unconsciously: "Father, you mean..."

"The power of example is infinite. Our good days will not last long. The reason why I insisted on taking Ceylon against all odds is to leave a way out for everyone."

"What are you afraid of? At worst, we can immigrate directly to Daxia. As long as we have money, we are the best wherever we are."

Matthew gritted his teeth and said.

"If only it were that easy, don't forget how much blood we have on our hands. If the two sides become one family, which side do you think they stand on?

Our only way out now is on the Tianzhu Peninsula. Going to Daxia is like walking into a trap. Even if we can save our lives, our property will be greatly reduced."

"I ask you, can you accept this?"

"I...I am not willing to accept this."

Matthew lowered his head.

"It's right to be unwilling. Your father is old, and I am also unwilling. The hundreds of years of inheritance of the Lawrence family cannot be destroyed in my hands."

"I understand, father."

Matthew finally changed a little.
