Lin Shuo was very satisfied with this dinner at the host's house.
In fact, Lin Shuo didn't have high requirements for his host's meals, he didn't need any delicacies, he just wanted to eat his fill.
But it was such a seemingly reasonable request that he had never been satisfied in his life in business.
He also knew that he really couldn't blame others for this, mainly because his food intake was too unreasonable.
When I was young, I did business with the old man, and every time before eating at the host's house, I would be reminded by the old man to save some food, so as not to scare him.
Today's meal is quite good. After eating more than 100 catties of beef, I was 70% full.
Thousands of fertile fields only eat three meals a day, and tens of thousands of mansions in Guangsha only sleep on three feet of couch.
For Lin Shuo personally, money is nothing interesting, as long as he can eat enough and have the strength to do things, that's all.
It's just that once the two daughters-in-law pass through the family, the position of the ancestors is passed down again, and unknowingly, he is considered a big family, and he is no longer in a state where one person is full and the whole family is not hungry.
When a man is away from home, what he asks for is just a living.
The owner's meal is considered full, and the business has been negotiated, which is not bad.
Knowing that Lin Shuo and his party still had to go back to the Anlan to rest, Alezzo didn't force them to stay, but asked someone to push a box up.
The box is one cubic meter, and when it is opened, it is full of gold bars.
Lin Shuo had seen bigger pieces of gold in the Red Desert, but the quality of this kind of cast gold bars was not the same.
As soon as the lid of the box was opened, it was shining golden light, which was so dazzling that people couldn't keep their eyes open.
This whole large box of gold, one meter square, was basically filled up. According to Lin Shuo's estimation, it weighed nearly 20 tons.
No wonder the box was not lifted up by a person, but pushed up by a cart.
Just pushing like this, there must be eight strong guys, otherwise it really can't be pushed.
Alezzo wobbled to the side of the box and said, "Brother, I admire your appetite.
With your ability, if there is another cow to eat, it will make a big noise when you go back to sleep. The two brothers and sisters are blessed.
The gold was seized by me from the Brunei treasury, you can take as much as you can.
The things are actually not very valuable, that is, they are worth a lot, and they can give you a bed at night, brother. "
After hearing these words, Lin Shuo's mouth twitched again.
Alezzo, I don't know whether he is pretending or real at the moment, he is so bold that he is a little careless.
Lin Shuo had calculated the value of gold in the Red Desert before, and the 20 tons of gold was worth 700 million U.S. dollars in the world, or 5 billion national currency.
It's called something of little value.
You must know that the hunting contract finalized between the Strange Creature Research Society and Alezzo was only 500 million US dollars.
At this moment, Lin Shuo looked back at his father-in-law.
With a pair of eyes, Miao Guangqi was very annoyed and slapped himself on the forehead with the palm of his hand.
The hunting contract was negotiated by Miao Guangqi.
He thought it would be tough enough to bite down on the 500 million US dollars, but only now did he realize that the amount was obviously less.
Alezzo led his troops into the city and directly occupied Brunei's national treasury and the private treasury of the royal family. This is Brunei's wealth accumulated from selling oil and gas for decades. No one knows how much it is. In short, it is far richer than ordinary people imagined. .
The fat man's current situation is that he doesn't feel bad about selling his father's land. The money is not earned by himself, it fell from the sky.
At this time, people must be inflated, and they no longer regard money as money.
Gold worth 700 million U.S. dollars can be sent out in one meal. With his spending style, if the contract amount is multiplied by ten, he might be able to nod.
In the face of this kind of bullying, if you earn less, you will lose.
Miao Guangqi wished he could shoot himself to death right now.
Seeing that Miao Guangqi blamed himself so much and looked like he was about to commit suicide, Lin Shuo pouted at the box, which meant to comfort the old man.
If there are fewer contracts, there will be fewer contracts, and some can be recovered here.
The communication between Weng and son-in-law was just a look and expression, and it ended soon.
Alezzo has been wearing a pair of brown glasses, and he can't see where he is looking. The fat man said with a smile: "Brother, what are you doing in a daze, don't be polite to brother, just take it, how much can you take?" How much to take. If you can move all by yourself, I will admit it."
The words were so blunt that everyone present could hear them.
This is for Lin Shuo to move alone, as much as he moves.
Lin Shuo just laughed.
This kind of thing is not new, it has existed since ancient times.
In the past, those rich people, including officials, had a catastrophe at home and asked people from the hunting gate to take action. This was often the case.
People in the hunting gate do business, and that is to watch the dishes.
The poor have nothing to do with their homes, and they are forced to do nothing. If they want to ask for something, they will do it if they give them a cornbread.
If it's the master who has a rich family, then this price must make him feel distressed.
The price is so high, no matter how rich the owner is, he will not be at ease. He has to weigh the ability of the hunter.
So the boss's meal before the business was not that simple.
Drinking capacity, this is the first level.
Appetite, this is the second level.
Being able to drink a big bowl of wine and eat meat with big mouthfuls, chatting and laughing happily during the banquet, this is called a stranger in the world, and the host will be relatively at ease.
After passing these two hurdles, the work is usually over, rest at the host's place for a night, and go to business early the next morning.
There are also those suspicious bosses who are still not at ease after passing the two hurdles, so there is a third hurdle called "gold and silver bear".
Use real gold and silver to test the true ability of the hunter.
Take two strong boxes, the lids of which must be opened to reveal the silver ingots filled inside.
The boxes were tied up with thick hemp ropes, and a log was placed in the middle as a pole.
The weight of the "gold and silver bearer" depends on the asking price of the previous hunter.
At least one thousand catties, if the price is high, there are also more than two thousand catties.
After drinking and eating, the burden was brought up, and if the hunter could pick it up at once, then the two boxes of silver would be considered a gift.
If the horse stance goes down and the shoulders are strained and they don't get up all of a sudden, there will be no second time.
There is no need for the boss to drive people away, the hunter will leave by himself, and the business will be ruined.
According to the rules of the hunting gate, this kind of hunter who can't bear the burden of gold and silver will have to be downgraded and cut off two inches of ability.
It wasn't until the Ming and Qing dynasties, when Shanxi merchants rose up, that they had the concept of finance, and that money banks and ticket banks spread all over the world, then it gradually disappeared.
Because generally rich people don't keep so much real money at home, bank notes are convenient after all.
Here in Alezzo today, the style of this host's meal is a bit retro.
The three levels seemed to be the same, and they were all passed by Lin Shuo.
This box of twenty tons of gold is actually a "gold and silver pole".
It's just that this warlord is too rich. The previous owner basically used silver, so he directly bought gold bars.
Ordinarily, since he was willing to die, Lin Shuo was also willing to be buried, but in the end, Lin Shuo was a man of the rules.
Since it is a "gold and silver bearer", there is no such thing.
Pay attention to proportion in everything, and the silver taels in the gold and silver poles are not too much or too little according to the rules, which is exactly one-third of the asking price.
If there is less, this is to look down on the hunter's ability.
If there are too many, it will embarrass the hunter, and the subtext is that the hunter's asking price is too high.
According to the contract amount previously agreed upon by the two parties, if this box of gold bars weighs about four tons, it will be about the same.
But there are less than 20 tons here, which is obviously too much.
Alezzo did this because he didn't know the rules. Since Lin Shuo knew the rules, he couldn't do it like this.
Otherwise, if the leader of the Liemen does things like this, it will be spread to make people in the door laugh, and he will lose his face for the sake of money.
So Lin Shuo said to Alezzo, "This is too much, please ask the general to bring a smaller box, and I will only take one-fifth of it."
When Alezzo heard this, he laughed loudly: "Brother, you are a dignified leader of the hunting gate, do you only have this ability in your body
One-fifth, that's less than four tons.
Are you looking down on your own strength, or are you looking down on my brother and my financial resources
Don't be polite to me, let alone yourself, if you are strong enough, take all of this box of gold bars! "
Having said that, Lin Shuo was a little embarrassed.
He heard that Alezzo really didn't understand the rules of the hunting gate.
This can't be blamed on him, his apprenticeship is from the shamanism in Southeast Asia, not from the Huaxia sect.
He had heard part of the matter about the hunting gate, but he knew only a little about it.
He probably thought that the three hurdles for the hunter to eat the owner's meal are some kind of ritual, and this procedure must be followed, so so many things happened back and forth.
Lin Shuo also noticed that the first two levels were about drinking and eating. The meaning of the test was not strong. Alezzo arranged the whole process quite comfortably, but it was just enough to eat and drink.
So for the third hurdle of gold and silver, this fat man really wants to give money.
Of course, besides giving the money, he also intended to test Lin Shuo's strength, but the words were all on point, making it easy to hear, and it seemed that he had always acted in such a bold manner.
So this thing will stop.
If this box of gold bars is really removed, it will cause a bad reputation in the future.
If he doesn't move, Alezzo will lose face.
Of course, Lin Shuo didn't care about Alezzo's face, the main thing was the things in front of him, which were real money, five billion in real terms.
With this money earned, how many more primary schools can be built in the country and how many rural teachers can be hired.
Also, I gave two wives IOUs on the bed a while ago, and I can cash it out now, and I can make a lot of IOUs in the future, and everything will be happy at home.
Also, Lin Hechun gave away the big yacht An Lan, but there are more than one hundred boatmen on this ship.
And the building at the foot of Kunlun Mountain...
Money is something that I really can't think about carefully, the more I think about it, the more I think it's not enough.
Sake is popular with people, and money is touching people's hearts.
No matter how powerful Lin Shuo is, he is still a mortal, not a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
At this moment, he hesitated.
At this time, Miao Chengyun, who was behind him, came up and patted Lin Shuo on the shoulder: "Lin Shuo, I don't have to face you as the chief executive. If you don't move, I will move."
Hearing this, Lin Shuo shuddered all over, and then laughed angrily at himself.
The two wives watched behind with their big bellies. They had never been invincible in hunting and beating in their life, but now they were stumped by a mere box of gold bars.
Beside him, Miao Chengyun was swinging his left arm eagerly, and he had already walked half a body away. Lin Shuo quickly pulled Mr. Miao back:
"Don't make trouble, you can't finish moving."
With these words in his mouth, Lin Shuo took a step forward and came to the front of the cart.
Looking at the box in front of him, Lin Shuo turned his head and said to Alezzo, "General, that Lin is making a fool of himself."
As soon as the words were finished, Lin Shuo stomped on the cart.
The violent power suddenly exploded, the cart was stomped slightly, and the boxes on it were shaken up half an inch.
Half an inch is naturally not much, but it is enough for Lin Shuo.
He pried his toes into the half-inch gap under the box, and then picked it up with his feet.
Stomping his feet down is eating his own explosive power, and lifting his feet upwards borrows the power of the earth.
The box just got up, and it jumped up as high as a person!
Lin Shuo pushed the cart away with one hand, took a step forward, and pushed it with one hand.
This move is called Overlord Lifting the Ding.
The iron box filled with twenty tons of gold bars seemed to have taken root on Lin Shuo's palm at this moment, as stable as Mount Tai!
This hand was shown, and the hall in the state banquet hall was full of cheers.
"Okay!" Alezzo was very happy. When the fat man applauded, his whole body was shaking, "This is a gift for our brothers to meet, brother, you can go back and rest, and we will discuss hunting tomorrow. "
"Then we'll see you tomorrow." After Lin Shuo finished speaking, he walked out steadily.
Everyone hurriedly followed, among them Miao Chengyun was particularly anxious.
Mr. Miao looked up at the box that Lin Shuo was holding up high, holding it with both hands, and kept circling around Lin Shuo, saying, "Hey, hey, be careful, don't fall, do you want me to help you?"
"No need." Lin Shuo shook his head.
"No, at least let me support it, and then give me one or two."
"Get out."
