Plutocrats From the Gold Rush

   Chapter 19 Christmas

  In Old Hawk’s tavern, Xie Jin is sitting at the bar and drinking 94 Burgundy wine.

  Of course, he can't taste anything.

  The reason why he drank this was because it was the most expensive wine he could find here.

   And it is said that it tastes much better when paired with steak.

  But after trying it...

   It turns out that for him, the effect is no different from not drinking.

   Today is Christmas Eve, and the entire tavern has been decorated by Old Hawke.

   Eye-full of ribbons, a not-so-tall Christmas tree, hung with colorful lights, stands in front of the crowded tavern bar.

  In the tavern, before every wine table, there were gold diggers and some other people.

  And these people will turn their eyes away from time to time, and take a look at this legendary boss, the devil-like oriental wizard, Devil Stan.

  Then immediately turned his face away, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

   "Hey, BOSS, do you need a present for Christmas?"

   "Olixette, old Jack? Why are you dressed like this?

   Oh hell, you know what? You look like a funny clown+tramp now.

  This is so ugly, I can't believe that you still have such a side. "

  Old Jack, wearing a Santa costume and carrying a big sack, was standing opposite Xie Jin at this moment.

  The baggy clothes and the shoes that don't fit at first glance, wearing on the lean old Jack, one can imagine the joy.

   Following Xie Jin's complaints, Old Jack's dissatisfied voice came immediately.

   "Hey, BOSS, watch your tone.

   What the **** is Christmas today, and in front of so many kids, can't you stop your swearing?

   Also, I know, of course I know I'm stupid looking like this.

   But this is Christmas, isn't it? Why do you care about these, although there are no good clothes.

   But the most important thing is that the children can be happy, everyone can get together, and enjoy the festive atmosphere with the family.

  Besides, this Santa Claus quota, but I managed to **** it from old Nick.

   I paid a full two hundred dollars for this, and a bottle of Reserva Martini!

   Oh Schett, who knows how long I've kept that bottle.

   Forget it, I won’t tell you anymore, since you don’t want gifts, then I’ll go and distribute Christmas gifts to the children in the town later.

   You know, this is a tradition in the town of Charles for more than two decades.

   Every year, only the most popular people can get this qualification. "

   "Oh, come on, old Jack, bought for money, not the most popular!

   By the way, what happened to the person I asked you to contact with Old Hawke? "

   "Fuck, I think so anyway! And I decided not to talk to you today.

   As for what you ordered, don't worry, you damned.

  The news about the Gold Rush Team has been spread and it is being done. Everyone is very enthusiastic.

  In addition, in the small town, if you have such a good thing, you don’t need to pay too much. As long as you are not an idiot, everyone will agree.

   As for Sheriff Cook and the mayor you put me in touch with, and the prosecutor.

  I also told Old Hawk about the words I brought to some councilors, politicians, and the mayor in the city.

  Everyone is very interested in your plan.

   Now after Christmas, we all sit down and talk carefully.

   Of course, I'm curious about your purpose in doing this, but if you don't want to talk, I won't talk too much. "

   "OK, go be your funny Santa, old Jack."

   "Hey, Boss, Marefak, I wasn't going to swear today, it's Christmas."

   "Ok ok ok, funny Santa."

  “…you **** bastard, **** bastard, **** your pants ripped tomorrow morning.”

   "What kind of curse is this?"

  Looking at Old Jack who was swaying, raised his middle finger, and left angrily.

   Xie Jin couldn't hold back in the end, and burst out laughing.

   But then, as soon as he finished laughing, he shrugged instantly, just like the usual LaVine.

  As if he had lost his ideal, he was sitting at the bar counter, drinking wine lazily.

  He is thinking now, maybe he should have been like Eli and the others before.

   Call a woman from the city to spend a few days with him.

   It feels terrible to be alone in such a lively and festive atmosphere.

   And there are so many troubles waiting for him.

  …

  2003, January 4th, the eleventh day after Christmas.

   After more than ten days of angry Christmas holidays.

   Finally time to start working again.

   Of course, the Gold Rush team didn't start that early.

  Because in the new year, Xie Jin has many new plans and redefines the gold rush team, so he has to be busy.

   There are many other things that require him to travel repeatedly between San Francisco and Sacramento to confirm and contact.

  Although during this period, he has spent a lot of money and found brokers and consulting companies, special counsel, private lawyers, and many others to help him deal with some things and meet with some people.

   But even so, there are these men who help with most things.

  He was still exhausted after attending a lot of receptions and charity events and meeting a lot of people.

   Even so, there are a lot of various things that have not been fully discussed yet.

  Of course, the problem here is more because he didn't show his own value and show his own strength.

  …

  Old Hawk's tavern, the entire first floor lobby was cleared out today.

  The tables and chairs were emptied, and a row of long tables were laid out. Xie Jin was sitting in the middle, holding a dozen documents in his hand, sorting out something carefully.

   "Have all the people queuing up outside already arrived?"

   "Yes, boss!" Eli stood at the door, at this moment, like a bodyguard, dressed like a dog, playing tricks on Xie Jin.

   Facing Eli's winking, Xie Jin didn't care, and spoke directly.

   "Then let the first team in."

   "Ok!" After giving a non-standard military salute to Xie Jin, Eli immediately shouted to the outside.

   "Hey, first team, John? You **** hurry up and bring your men over here, the BOSS begins."

   "Ok, ok, hurry up, brothers, and behave calmly and confidently later.

  BOSS is actually not bad..."

   "Pa..." slapped himself on the forehead. In the tavern, Xie Jin sat behind the table, listening to John's "whispered" order outside the door.

  He suddenly felt a little tired. There really wasn't a single person in this group of people who was reliable.

  Even John, who has always been the most reliable, has such an unreliable side.

   It’s so close, and even now, they’re still mobilizing temporarily.

   "Hey, John, why didn't your mother Refack come in and talk?!

   Or do you think I'm a fool, I can't hear you standing outside the door with such a loud voice? ! "

   "Oh shit.

  Uh, BOSS, sorry, you know.

  No one has much experience in this kind of thing. "

   Xie Jin's roar echoed in the tavern, and the next moment, John's thick face appeared through the door.

   Then, after explaining a bit coyly, the next moment he immediately pulled his team members into the tavern.

   "Hey, BOSS, this is my team, and they are all my most trusted people. What do you think?"

  Looking at a group of people who came in behind John, there were about seven or eight people.

   Xie Jin glanced over one by one, as if he was judging something, and was not in a hurry to answer John's inquiry.

   Until after half a ring, after making sure that the group of people are "clean".

  Xie Jin turned his face and looked at John.

   "There is no problem with people, and they are your own team members anyway.

   As long as you can keep them under control, panning for gold in the wild will do.

   Now, the two of us will talk about treatment.

  You agree to sign the gold mining team you formed into the Stan Mining Mining Company in the form of a contract.

   And enjoy the 40% sharing treatment of the placer gold deposits mined, is there any doubt? "

   "Uh, no, but there's just one problem.

  That is, the company mines gold, as it was said before.

  You are responsible for finding and confirming gold mine locations.

   Then hand it over to us to mine, and we get 40% in the end, right? "

   "Of course, these will be included in the contract at that time.

  However, this model is only suitable for placer gold deposits. For real gold mines, it is another set of calculation methods.

  If you are interested, you can also buy a part of it at that time, and then share it as mining dividends.

   But the number will be greatly reduced, so don't have too high expectations.

  In addition to this, the gold mines and placer gold deposits that you privately explore and mine must be operated by the company.

   And receive a 5% dividend.

   There will be no additional additional terms. "

   "Okay, then I have no problem."

   "Then call your lawyer in, and everyone will sign the contract."

   "Hey, without a boss, there is a lawyer in my team."

   "Olixet..."
