Chapter 1254: Little Lu Zi

the next day.

Before the signing ceremony begins.

Lu Chengwen and Ma Lao were chatting quietly on the side.

Lu Chengwen said: "Mr. Ma, have you read the contract?"

"I've checked, Cheng Wen. Those people have been rescued. But I don't understand how you three got out?"

"Don't worry about that."

Lu Chengwen said: "Anyway, today's contract has been signed successfully. I have another manor in the South Country, which I will give to you."

Ma Lao was stunned: "This...isn't it appropriate?"

Lu Chengwen took out his phone and showed him the photo album: "Look, it covers an area of ​​10,000 square meters, and there are also golf courses, fishing rooms, wine cellars, cigar rooms... and two swimming pools."

Ma Lao looked at the photo of the ridiculously high-end manor and said, "Cheng Wen, you are a man with a vision."

Lu Chengwen pulled Ma Lao aside and said, "Ma Lao, let's be honest. We are all businessmen. No matter what business we do, isn't it our first priority to make money for ourselves?"

"of course."

"We don't make any money ourselves, so why are we doing charity? Are you crazy?"

"exactly!"

"Donations are donations, gifts are gifts, but we must earn back what we donated and gave. Otherwise, we will go through all this trouble and end up with nothing."

"That's right!" Ma Lao said, "Cheng Wen, you have strategies. There was a misunderstanding between us before. I'll back you up for today's matter. Don't worry, there's no one in Bingzhou who won't give me face."

Lu Chengwen said, "The Huo family is unreliable. In their eyes, we are just a group of little ants. They can give us some sweet treats today, but they can clean us up tomorrow without leaving any residue. When it comes to cooperation and helping each other, we have to be men, don't you think?"

Ma Lao said: "But, without going through the Huo family, let's sign the contract directly..."

Lu Chengwen laughed: "My Lord Ma! Do you really think Huo Wenting cares about who will manage the coal mines in the end? She is eyeing crude oil, stocks, funds, natural gas, cargo ships, tunnels, ports, airports... In her eyes, the coal mines are backward and boring."

"Then what are they trying to achieve by going through all this trouble?"

Lu Chengwen smiled, "You want to make trouble for me? Isn't it just the matter we had in Xuecheng? So, the battlefield is not here at all. She wants me to bow down to her in Xuecheng. She doesn't care about these dozen or twenty mines. To be honest, I was scared when I went back to Xuecheng. Do you think she still cares about what will happen to these mines in Bingzhou? She is willing to sell them even if it means losing money. She doesn't care."

Ma Laodao: "Actually, I also know that you are fighting for that port."

Lu Chengwen nodded: "So, you have to help me today. After this is signed, it will be a tug-of-war between Huo Wenting and me."

Ma Lao looked worried, and pulled Lu Chengwen to the side, whispering, "Chengwen, the Huo family is too powerful, you must not resist, it's not worth it. Huo Wenting didn't kill you, otherwise you would have been lying down long ago."

Lu Chengwen smiled: "I know. How could I not know the interests involved here? The key is that I gave the port to her without asking for a penny, and she still wants to crush me. Don't worry, I will compromise in the end. As long as you leave me a meal, why would I want to compete with the Huo family? Am I crazy?"

"Okay, okay, I knew you had it in mind. Then it's settled, it's that manor..."

"I'll have Jiang Shihan go to your house later with a full set of paperwork to get it done directly."

Lu Chengwen said with a smile: "I'll just give you all the keys. When you go on vacation with your family, you can use my private plane."

Ma Lao laughed: "Cheng Wen, if we had talked like this earlier, do you think... would there still be those misunderstandings?"

Left Ma Lao.

Lu Chengwen dealt with several important people, either giving them money, things, houses, sports cars...

Qi Meishao was always with him.

Qi Meishao was wearing a professional suit, which made her look both elegant and capable.

Follow Lu Chengwen to meet the bigwigs from all walks of life in Bingzhou, including those in politics, business, literature and art, and the media...

Zhao Ritian was eating while glaring at Lu Chengwen: "Scumbag."

Long Aotian glanced at him and ignored him.

I thought viciously in my heart: Scum!

Back in the lounge, Lu Chengwen was nervously discussing various work details with the team, finalizing contracts, and discussing preparatory plans...

At this time, Zhao Ritian, Long Aotian and others also came back.

Zhao Ritian looked at Lu Chengwen and said, "You just gave away gifts along the way. You must have given away 100 million, right?"

Lu Chengwen was stunned.

All the staff were stunned.

But none of them dared to respond to this conversation, and some even immediately lowered their heads to work, pretending not to hear it.

Lu Chengwen said: "I am doing business, it has nothing to do with you."

"You used despicable means. I heard that you gave a luxury car worth more than four million to a guy who was in charge of materials!"

Lu Chengwen handed the contract to Qi Meishao and said, "Keep calm, don't think that they are controlling us. Now we are controlling them. If you accept my things, everyone will have to speak for us and do things for us in the future."

"Ah."

Zhao Ritian kicked the table: "Lu Chengwen, I'm talking to you!"

Lu Chengwen stood up: "What's wrong with you?"

"You've done things that are shameful!"

"Oh?" Lu Chengwen said, "Going to the community as a volunteer is a great honor. How many people can you help?"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Chengwen sighed: "Ritian, you are a smart person. I can talk to you in the same way as I would to a smart person, but not to other people."

Zhao Ritian glanced at Long Aotian and said with great pride: "You say."

Lu Chengwen put his arm around Zhao Ritian's shoulders and said, "Have you ever heard of this saying? A corrupt official must be cunning, while an honest official must be more cunning than a corrupt official."

"Yeah!?"

"Yes." Lu Chengwen explained: "We have to use their methods to defeat them and control them. On the surface, they are well fed, but in fact, they are controlled by us, corrupted by us, and controlled by us. They have to speak for us and do things for us."

"Brother Ritian, you have to know that in this world, there are very few people like you and me who have a sense of justice and can dedicate ourselves to the people, the common people, justice, and fairness. Most people are ordinary people, or even bad people who are only interested in profit."

Zhao Ritian nodded, expressing his deep agreement, and at the same time looked at Long Aotian.

Lu Chengwen continued to explain: "So, if we want a good person to do something for us, we just need to explain the reason clearly and say that this thing is beneficial to the people. If I tell you, you will do it, right?"

"Correct!"

"But for most people, they must be driven by interests. Without money, they have no motivation. In other words, if others pay more, they will do things for others. Do you understand?"

Zhao Ritian looked at Long Aotian: "Humph!"

Long Aotian couldn't stand it anymore: "Why the hell are you always looking at me!?"
