My courtyard shelter

Xu Dong originally had the idea of ​​investing in Tesla.

After all, the other party has succeeded once, and the probability of succeeding again is very high, even if it cannot reach the previous peak, as long as it can reach one-tenth of the market value.

That's also blood money.

However, considering that the other party did not own many shares and that the Shanghai Automobile Group was a "monster", he finally gave up the idea.

They sent Ma Sike off together, and Xu Dong was going to stay for dinner. Mike was hesitant to speak just now, and it was obvious that he had something to discuss.

Then we went back to the car to rest.

Shortly after Captain Zhou left, Mrs. Mike also made an excuse and took her son away, leaving only Xu Dong and Mr. Mike at the dinner table.

"Mike, how's business going lately?"

Xu Dong took the initiative to show concern.

"Alas!" Mr. Mike sighed, "Since the eruption of Sulfonite Volcano, I haven't received another batch of goods. I even considered closing down altogether."

"The general environment is not good, and I can't blame you entirely."

Xu Dong comforted.

"No matter what, the beautiful country is completely ruined this time. It's a pity to lose such a good plantation."

"What are your plans next?"

"I am now looking for new sources of supply and am currently in the process of planning."

"Where? Is it Europa?"

Xu Dong asked curiously.

"No, the European countries can no longer even take care of themselves. How can they still export? Besides, their nuclear radiation pollution is serious. Even if I import it back, do you dare to sell it?"

"Ahem, I really don't dare to buy it." Xu Dong shook his head.

"That's right. You would never have imagined the import channels this time. I only discovered such a slip-through after hearing someone talk about it accidentally."

"Stop being so pretentious, where is it?"

Mr. Mike picked up a piece of tofu and directly revealed the answer: "On the Tianzhu Peninsula."

"What? Aren't they almost so poor that they are eating dirt?"

Xu Dong was shocked.

"You call this a stereotype. The ordinary people there are indeed very poor, but what I do is not their business. Is there still a few rich people missing in the huge Tianzhu Peninsula?"

"What do they have over there?"

Xu Dong asked curiously.

"The main specialty is rice. We also have beef and mutton, but the quantity is not large and it is not cost-effective to make."

Mr. Mac replied.

"I blanch it, but they still export beef? Really or not, don't they believe in sacred cows?"

"The buffalo they killed was a buffalo. The sacred cow you mentioned was a Gir cow. It is a local native cow. I just came back from a business trip there last month and took photos."

Mr. Mike took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album.

Xu Dong took it and turned it over casually, "Are there any sacred cows on the streets of Tianzhu now?"

"How is that possible? The general public is starving to death. Not to mention sacred cows, they will not let go even if it is cow dung and cow urine."

"Pfft...are you still going to eat? Don't poop or pee, it will affect your appetite."

Xu Dong quickly reminded.

"Okay, I'll punish myself with a drink." Mr. Mike drank the wine glass in one gulp. "Actually, those sacred cows are kept at home by rich people, and ordinary people have no access to them."

Xu Dong nodded and drank a glass of wine with the other party.

"So, you plan to start a rice business next?"

"Yes, I found that there is no rice business either in China or in Kangaroo Country."

Mr. Mike said excitedly.

"Are you having trouble? Do you need my help?"

Mr. Mike looked ashamed: "Speaking of which, I really want to trouble you with something."

"What's the matter? Just say it."

"I have everything ready now, I just need a stepping stone."

"What stepping stone?"

Xu Dong asked.

Also full of curiosity.

"Gold, you must have heard that the people of Tianzhu love gold far more than other countries."

"Gold? There's a lot of it on the black market, right?"

Mr. Mike said bitterly: "The quantity I want is a bit large. The black market in Sydney is too small and it won't be possible to get it together in a short while. Moreover, this matter is a bit sensitive. It's best not to be noticed."

"How much do you want?"

Xu Dong immediately understood the other party's intention.

"A ton."

"One ton? I'll go. Do you have enough money?"

One ton of gold, according to the current market price, requires at least six to seven billion. Based on Mike's peak net worth, it is estimated that he has this much liquidity.

"The other party promised to pay cash on delivery, which should take no more than a week. I guess they mainly wanted to take the opportunity to test my connections and financial strength."

"How far behind are you now?"

"Not even half of it."

"Okay, a thousand pounds, right? You go to my place tomorrow and I'll give it to you."

Xu Dong immediately agreed.

In the past few years, he and Mike had saved hundreds of kilograms of gold while running their business. With the money accumulated later, the amount must have exceeded three tons.

Among them, Sydney has more than a ton stored here.

As the United States and the Europa region have fallen into chaos one after another, most of the gold has now flowed into the country, directly causing the price to plummet.

The current price of gold is over 600 per gram.

That’s down by a third from a few months ago.

Mr. Mike quickly raised his glass: "I won't say thank you, it's all in the wine."

The other party drank three glasses of white wine in a row.

"Drink slowly, you'll get it soon."

It was too late for Xu Dong to stop him.

"The money may come later..."

Xu Dong waved his hand directly: "Don't worry about the money. I won't give you your commission. I will put it into the payment directly. You should be more careful and don't be cheated."

"Don't worry. These bumpkins may be particularly fierce to the people in China, but in front of us, they are more docile than sheep. They are more afraid of causing diplomatic disputes than I am."

"Don't be too confident."

Mr. Mike nodded: "I will report to the embassy. They dare not do anything wrong. For example, a few years ago, a lord overestimated his own power and cheated us. There are hundreds of thousands of compatriots, but guess what happened? "

"What happened?"

"It was useless for us to do it ourselves. Several neighboring states united and directly wiped out the people. In the end, they paid us a million yuan. I wish they would do something stupid?"

"Is there such a thing?"

"What do you think?" Mr. Mike said disdainfully, "Let me tell you, those states, although they are called "countries", are actually similar to the communities here. The smallest has only a few thousand people. I estimate that the escort fleet will be wiped out with one shot."

"So that's it. It seems that I was worried for nothing."

Xu Dong smiled and shook his head.

...

At eight o'clock in the evening, we got home smoothly.

Several children were playing football. The temperature was suitable in the morning and evening, which was the best time to go out for exercise.

Because of his young age, Xiaohuzi could only sit obediently on a small bench beside him.

Xu Dong waved to the little guy.

Xiaohuzi ran over happily.

"Second Grandpa, why did you come back just now? We've finished dinner at home."

"Second Grandpa had eaten outside."

Xu Dong touched the little guy's head.

Little Tiger quickly covered his nose: "Wow, Second Grandpa, you drank alcohol and suffocated Little Tiger."

Xu Dong smiled awkwardly, and in order to comfort the little guy, he quickly took out two candies from his pocket.

"Little Tiger, guess how many candies Second Grandpa has in his hand. If you guess right, both candies will be given to you."

"Five." Little Tiger answered crisply.

"Well, you're really smart." Xu Dong stuffed the candies into the little guy's hands, "I'll give you two first, and the rest tomorrow."

"Hey, are there any more tomorrow?"

"Yes, five minus two equals three, and there are three more candies tomorrow. Do you remember?"

"Little Tiger remembers."

Xu Dong checked on the spot: "Okay, then Little Tiger, tell Second Grandpa, how many five minus two equals?"

Little Tiger stuffed the candies into his pocket, and then counted on his fingers.

But I calculated for a long time but got no result.

Xu Dong rubbed the little guy's hair with a smile:

"Okay, if you can't calculate it, don't calculate it anymore, go play!"
