My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 922 Boston Consortium

After the wedding of He Yun and Zhang Tao.

Dabao flew back to the capital overnight, and then signed a formal investment letter of intent with Liao Fuyin.

The next day, he flew to the other side of the ocean.

Just two days ago, through an intermediary, he had already found a project investor, but the other party had a small request and hoped to discuss it face to face.

Dabao agreed without hesitation. After all, he has grown up so much, and he has never been to America. He wants to take this opportunity to visit the other side of the river.

As for the safety issue, it is not a problem at all for people of their level. As long as he doesn't kill himself, with his own security force, ordinary people can't get close at all, let alone hurt others.

Xu Dong did not express any objection.

Although there was some turmoil in America, it was limited to the people of the lower class and had no effect on the upper class. Moreover, Dabao went to an offshore island this time. Even if there was an emergency, he would probably be able to escape unscathed.

So after fifteen hours of flying.

Dabao and his party finally arrived at Iribela Island off the coast of Panama. This place was originally an archipelago, but because of the drop in sea level, it gradually formed a large island with an area of ​​more than 20,000 square kilometers.

Only slightly smaller than Qiongdao.

"Mr. Xu, welcome. Let me introduce you. The person next to me is the current head of the Lawrence family, Mr. Adam Chris Lawrence. He is also the governor of North Amazonas and the chairman of the First National Bank of Boston. .”

The middleman introduced in detail.

Dabao was immediately in awe. This old gentleman is definitely a top figure in America, and he is also one of the top three vassals. He did not expect the other party to show such face.

This made him feel flattered.

"Mr Law...ce, Nice to meet you!"

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Lawrence can speak Mandarin, so we can communicate directly in Daxia."

Seeing that Dabao's English is not fluent, the intermediary offered to propose.

"Really?" Dabao was surprised, "I didn't expect Mr. Lawrence to be able to speak Daxia. It's really admirable, much better than a young man like me."

"Dong Xu, with Daxia's current economic status, if we foreign businessmen can't even speak Daxia language, we will be at a disadvantage in business."

Mr. Lawrence explained casually.

"It seems that I have to improve my English too!"

Dabao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group followed each other back to the Lawrence family's castle.

According to the intermediary, the castle covers an area of ​​more than 5000 mu, which is bigger than their family's manor. The most special thing is that a seven or eight-meter-high concrete wall was built around the castle, just like a super fortress.

Dabao secretly asked, "Why are they building such a high wall?"

It stands to reason that this island is isolated overseas, and with its unique geographical advantages, even if there is a general turmoil on the American continent, it will be difficult to affect this side.

"Mainly to guard against other families."

The middle man replied softly.

"What do you say? There are still hostile forces on the island?"

Dabao was at a loss.

The middleman quickly explained: "Mr. Xu, you misunderstood. The other side is not a hostile force. I wonder if you have heard of the Boston Consortium?"

"I've heard about it." Dabao replied.

"Actually, the Lawrence family is just a member of the Boston consortium. In addition, there are the Lowell family, the Adams family, the Lodge family, and the Kennedy family. They jointly form the Boston consortium and control the entire North Amazon state. "

"Since it is a cooperative relationship, why..."

"Although they are allies, they will also compete with each other. After all, there is only one leader of the consortium, and the Lawrence family is currently the strongest."

"I see!" Dabao nodded, and then changed the topic: "What happened just now? This Lawrence family seems to be more powerful than ours. Why did you come forward to greet me in person?"

"As the saying goes, if you are courteous to others, you must ask for something."

"What do they want? The investment amount this time is only a few tens of billions, so there is no need to go to war like this? Do they have other plans?"

Dabao frowned.

The middleman hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Xu, I don't know much, but I can assure you that these people have absolutely no malicious intentions."

"Of course I believe this. Our old man is the richest man in the world after all, and he is a bit of a scumbag in China. They should not dare to mess around."

Dabao said with confidence.

"Since this is the case, we can only take a step forward. There will be a reception tonight, and then we will know what kind of medicine they are selling in the gourd."

The middleman followed suit.

……

After moving into the room, Dabao immediately took out the encrypted satellite phone, wanting to hear his father's opinion.

Xu Dong was quite surprised. He didn't expect that there would be such an inside story in this cooperation. However, he also had limited knowledge of America, so he couldn't guess the other party's intentions.

In the end, he could only tell his eldest son to play by ear.

After hanging up the phone, Dabao took a short rest, and then carefully visited the castle under the guidance of a member of the Lawrence family.

"Ms. Vicki..."

"Xu, just call me Vicky, we're about the same age, there's no need to be so formal."

"Okay, Vicky." Dabao followed suit, "How many people live in this castle?"

"My tribe, plus all kinds of staff, add up to more than 20,000 people!"

Vicki replied.

"Does everyone in your family live here?"

Dabao followed up and asked.

Vicky shook her head: "There are only a quarter of the tribe here, and the rest are either working in North Amazonia, doing business or studying abroad."

"Vicky, have you been to our Daxia?"

"I have been there, but I didn't go ashore. Our cruise ship was docked off the coast of your country. I learned my Daxia dialect at that time. Later, the domestic situation improved a little, and we returned to China."

"No wonder Ni's Da Xia speaks so well!"

Dabao appreciated it.

"Thanks for the prize. In fact, I have always been interested in Daxia culture, and I really want to travel to your country. Unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity."

"May I take the liberty to ask the reason? Now that there are flights between the two sides of the strait, it is very convenient to travel."

Wei Qi sighed deeply: "Xu, it's okay to tell you, my grandfather wanted me to enter into a political marriage with another family, but I rejected it, and I can't leave the castle at all now."

"Isn't it? What era is this, and you still engage in arranged marriages? Aren't you Americans always advocating freedom?"

"Xu, you won't understand. There is no free lunch in the world. Since I enjoy the support of my family, I also have to pay a corresponding price. It's just that I haven't been able to convince myself."

Vicky smiled wryly and shook her head.

Dabao feels that this world is too magical.

Isn't it natural for parents to raise their children?
To some extent, their family can barely be considered a wealthy family, but his father would never interfere with the marriage or even career of the five siblings.

Looking at it this way, his father was simply too open-minded.

"Vicky, what do you plan to do in the future?"

"I don't know either. In your Daxia's words, it's natural to go straight from the boat to the bridge. I hope I can meet a marriage partner I like."

Looking at the beautiful and moving Ms. Vicky in front of him, Dabao couldn't help feeling extremely sympathetic, and at the same time felt sad for her.

This thinking is fundamentally wrong.

If it were him, he would rather grow old alone than compromise.

He remembered that his second brother-in-law Ji Yin once said that the beautiful country on the other side of the ocean is actually more conservative than everyone imagined.

Now it seems that this sentence is too TM correct.

Wei Qi may have felt something strange, and quickly changed the subject: "Xu, are you married?"

"It's over." Dabao flashed the wedding ring on his hand.

"do you have any kid?"

"Of course, three sons and two daughters."

Dabao's face is full of happiness.

"Wow, can you tell me how many wives you have?"
