Chapter 532 Different Jack
Ino Community.
A Mercedes-Benz Big G drove into the Yinuo community and drove to Linda's garage.
Luke got out of the car and saw his mother, Linda, standing in the yard.
"Hi, my handsome eldest son is finally back." Linda greeted him and kissed Luke on the cheek.
Luke laughed, "Dear Ms. Sullivan, you look younger and prettier than when I left, has anyone been courting you lately?"
Linda shrugged, "Which one are you referring to?"
"Wow, do you want me to check it out for you?"
"No, you already checked it out for me, I just told them that my son is a policeman... The phone was cleared the next day, super effective."
"Ms. Sullivan, I am sorry to have affected your happiness."
"With you and Jack by my side, my life is full and I am already very happy."
Luke smiled, put his arms around his mother's shoulders, "Let's go in."
"Wait, Jack is leaving school soon." Linda looked towards the distance of the community road.
"Isn't he usually after school at this time?"
"Today is different, trust me, you will see a different Jack."
Although Luke was not too interested in the change of the little fat man, he still waited outside with his mother.
A few minutes later, a yellow school bus stopped in front of Linda's house, and the door opened.
A man with long blond hair, sunglasses, a crop top and a green skirt steps off the school bus.
Luke froze for a moment, dumbfounded, "fuck! What the **** are you doing?"
Linda smiled, and took out the phone from her pocket, "I told you, you will see a different Jack."
The little fat man posed sideways in a pose that he thought was very charming, "Am I pretty?"
Luke scratched his head, "If you want to go to Thailand, I can help you."
"travel?"
"No, you know what I'm talking about."
"Forget it, I just want to experience the life of a woman for a day, that's all."
Luke was a little disgusted, "You're dressed like this, and you even put on makeup, are you sure it's not your sexuality?"
"No, I'm normal. My favorite woman is still Maggie." The little fat man spread his hands and explained, "Our school is holding a 'Gender Swap Day' today. This is the school's arrangement, and I'm not alone. Most of the students wore clothes of the opposite sex."
Luke shook his head, "Your school is really boring."
"Crack..." Linda took out her phone and quickly took a few photos.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"I want to record this unforgettable moment. I have always wanted a daughter, and today this dream finally came true."
"Mom, you didn't ask me to delete the photo without my permission."
"I reject.
I will show it to your future wife. "
"Maggie saw it."
"I didn't say Maggie."
The little fat man looked serious, "It must be Maggie."
"Maybe."
"definitely is."
Linda shrugged, "OK, we have a lover in our family."
"So, you're going to delete the photo, right?"
Linda smiled, "Don't even think about it, I have already thought about the gift you will give me when you get paid in the first month after you work."
"Mom, how can you do this?"
"I can."
The little fat man looked at Luke helplessly.
"Crack."
Luke also snapped a photo, "I want presents too."
"ah…
The little fat man yelled and ran back to the house quickly.
Seven o'clock in the evening.
In the restaurant.
'Miss Li' washed up, changed her clothes, and turned back into the little fat man she was before.
Luke thinks it is much more pleasing to the eye and cuter. If it is still the same as before, Luke is not sure whether he can eat dinner.
The little fat man opened the chair and sat down, looking at the food on the table, "Wow, there are so many seafood, it is even more abundant than the cafeteria, bro, did you bring these back from the U.S. Virgin Islands?"
"Most of them were caught by myself, and some were exchanged with other tourists."
The little fat man asked back, "Aren't you going to hunt for treasure? How can you have so much time for fishing?"
Luke has time to fish because he wants to assist the FBI in investigating the case of self-defense homicide on an uninhabited island. Of course, he didn't want to tell his mother and brother about it.
Luke looked at Linda, "Mom, why aren't grandpa and uncle here?"
"Your grandfather has something to do, and your uncle is on night shift today."
Luke shrugged, "Unfortunately, they have no luck.
Taste the fish I caught with my own hands. "
"It's the first time I've seen such a big lobster." The little fat man gestured with his forearm.
"I released the small ones directly." Luke didn't eat seafood, but put some stewed oxtail bones with potatoes in a public spoon. Seafood is a good thing to eat once in a while. He ate it almost every day in the U.S. Virgin Islands Seafood has long been tasteless, and now he wants to eat some home-cooked meals.
Seeing that her son liked to eat the dishes she cooked, Linda was also very happy, "I bought the oxtail in the morning and marinated it in red wine. How does it taste?"
"It's so good, I could finish this plate by myself."
Luke picked up the rum and clinked glasses with Linda, "Mom, thank you for your loving dinner.
This is the specialty rum of the U.S. Virgin Islands. How about a taste? "
Linda took a sip, "Not bad, it has a special fruity aroma, I like this taste very much."
The little fat man showed a curious look, "Can I have a taste?"
"No, this wine is not suitable for you yet." Luke shook his finger, "However, you can drink a little beer."
"Really?" The little fat man just tried it out, but he didn't expect Luke to agree.
Over the past year, the little fat man has grown in size very quickly. Although he is not yet an adult, he is within a few centimeters of Luke, and even weighs more than Luke. With this physique, Luke doesn't think there is any problem with him drinking.
As for the regulations in the United States that no alcohol is allowed before the age of 21, Luke thinks it is a bit nonsense. At this age, people who take drugs and mess around abound. Drinking beer is really nothing, let alone at home.
Little Fatty opened a bottle of beer and excitedly clinked glasses with his mother and brother. This excitement was not only because of drinking, but more about the sense of participation.
Linda looked at the two sons with a smile on her face, and she pointed to Luke's lips, "Why are you hurt?"
Luke touched it, "Maybe I got angry, my lips are a little chapped, just drink more water."
The little fat man curled his lips, "Brother, are you sure you're on fire?"
"Any questions?"
Linda picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and nodded, "It might have been bitten by a mermaid."
The little fat man said, "Could it be that the legend is true, there is really a mermaid guarding the treasure, wow, I'm so curious, is the mermaid beautiful?"
"You can see for yourself." Luke took out his phone and dug out a few photos.
"Is there really a mermaid?" The little fat man was dubious, and took the phone, "My God, what a big crocodile, did you kill it?"
"Yes, the place where the treasure is hidden is in a cave, there are two roads, one road has crocodiles, and the other road has piranhas.
After I killed the crocodile, I found the treasure in the cave. "
The little fat man became interested, "Is there really a treasure? What are there?"
Luke said, "There are pottery, silver bricks, and gold bricks. This time the harvest is not bad."
The little fat man showed envy, "My God, brother, your life is so exciting, can you take me to go treasure hunting next time?"
Luke didn't answer, got up and said, "I brought you a gift."
While Luke got up to get the gift, Linda asked, "Is he changing the subject?"
The little fat man whispered, "So, there really are mermaids?"
Linda rolled her eyes, "Forget the **** mermaids. I mean women."
"You mean, brother has a new woman?"
Linda nodded, "Luke looks like me, handsome, tall, and successful in his career. It's normal for women to like him."
fatty"…"
He felt that there was something wrong with this statement.
There are only three of them here. The elder brother is handsome and looks like his mother.
what about me?
Linda ignored her youngest son, and said to herself, "Why was he bitten? Is that mermaid swearing sovereignty?"
Luke returned to the dining table with two boxes. He didn't notice the two people's small thoughts. He handed one to Linda and the other to the little fat man, "See if you like it?"
Linda opened it and looked in surprise, "What a big silver brick, it's the first time I've seen such a big piece of silver."
"This silver brick has a history of five hundred years, and it has a certain collection value. Of course, you can also melt it to make some favorite accessories."
The little fat man rubbed his hands, and opened his box with anticipation, "Is this a horn? It's also inlaid with metal."
"That's right, this is a ceremonial horn from an Indian tribe five hundred years ago. It was only used on some important formal occasions, and its collection value is still higher than that of silver bricks."
The little fat man was full of joy, and carefully played with the horn, "Can I post it on Facebook?"
"Of course, it's yours." Luke said to Linda again, "I also brought back a few boxes of local specialty rum, one box each for dad, grandpa, and uncle."
The little fat man asked, "You brought back so many things, isn't the shipping fee expensive?"
"I'm flying a private jet."
"Wow…"
The little fat man was even more envious.
…
Noon of the next day.
Donglaishun.
After eating seafood for a few days, Luke wanted to eat something oily and appetizing, so he asked the Zhang brothers to eat shabu-shabu in a copper pot.
Each person has a small copper pot in front of them, and the dishes are also very rich.
Hand-cut fresh mutton, fat beef, frozen tofu, vegetable platter, mushroom platter, fried belly, donkey rolling, kebabs, sesame sesame cakes.
After Luke finished ordering, he smiled and said to the Zhang brothers, "Look at the menu, both of you, and add something. I'm treating you today. You're welcome."
Zhang Jianguo said, "Enough, enough, I won't be able to eat any more."
"Mr. Li, I've let you spend money." Zhang Jianmin moved a box of Wuliangye, opened it, and poured three glasses of wine, "Such a good dish, why not go with some wine, let's have a good drink today."
Luke greeted the two brothers to eat food.
Donglaishun’s vegetables are really not cheap. If he didn’t make some money, Luke would really be reluctant to eat them.
However, the mutton is really delicious, especially the hand-cut fresh mutton, which is fat and thin, tender but not woody, and has a good taste.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhang Jianguo mentioned the matter of cooperation, "Mr. Li, our brothers have seriously considered your proposal after we went back, and we all think your idea is very good, and hope you can invest in our company.
I believe that with your joining, the development of the company will be better. "
Luke put down his chopsticks, "You brothers all think the same?"
Zhang Jianmin knew that Luke was asking himself, and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, I also welcome you to join Zhang Brothers Construction Company.
My brother also said that when the time came to change the name of the company, the Zhang Brothers Company seemed stingy.
What do you think is the right name for our company? "
Luke waved his hand, "You guys decide, I said I won't interfere with the company's operations."
Zhang Jianguo's face was pale, but he was secretly happy. He raised his glass and toasted Luke again, "I'll toast you again. Thank you for your hospitality today. I'm done."
Luke laughed, "It can't be done all the time, half a glass."
The two drank half a glass, and Zhang Jianguo continued, "Mr. Li, let's talk about the shareholding. If there is no problem, let's finalize the contract directly."
"I also have this idea, what do you two think is the right purchase price for the shares?"
The Zhang brothers looked at each other, and Zhang Jianguo proposed, "10% of the shares is 10,000 US dollars, and 20% of the shares is 20,000 US dollars. What do you think?"
Luke touched his chin and shook his head, "I don't think this amount is appropriate."
Zhang Jianmin's face changed slightly, and he rubbed his right hand unnaturally.
Zhang Jianguo's expression did not change, and he felt a little uncomfortable. The price of ten thousand dollars is not high, almost the price of cabbage. Luke is still dissatisfied. A little greedy, worried that future cooperation will plant hidden dangers.
"Mr. Li, do you think two thousand dollars is appropriate?"
Luke smiled, "You two misunderstood, I don't think the purchase price is high, but too low.
I also sincerely cooperate with the two of you, not to mention $20,000 or $2,000. Even if you two are willing, I can't afford it. "
The Zhang brothers showed surprise, and Zhang Jianmin couldn't help asking, "Mr. Li, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Luke stretched out two fingers, "Two hundred thousand dollars, 20% of the shares."
Don’t buy it at a low price, but buy it at a high price. It seems that Luke is a bit stupid to do this, but it is actually eliminating hidden dangers in the future.
$20,000 to buy 20% of the shares of the construction company, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a problem, and Luke is not short of that money, so why give it to others.
Furthermore, Luke has just returned from a treasure hunt, and he doesn’t lack a hundred thousand dollars. If David doesn’t have one, Luke can also lend it to him. It’s no big deal.
Luke still values Zhang's construction company, but what he values is not short-term gains, but the long-term development of the construction company.
No matter how much he earns from treasure hunting, it is a one-shot deal, but investing in construction companies is different. This is equivalent to passive income, and you can make money while lying at home.
What is rich and what is financial freedom does not refer to how much money you can earn, but how much passive income you have and whether passive income can cover your living expenses.
Even if your passive income is only one-third or even one-fourth of your salary, the state of the whole person and the quality of life are different.
This is why Luke values Zhang's construction company.
Zhang Jianguo was worried that Luke was speaking politely, so he followed suit, "Mr. Li, is the purchase price too high?"
Luke's tone was sincere, "It's not high, I still think it's low. Speaking of it, I'm still in the honor of the two of you. In the future, the company will need more attention from the two of you."
"Okay, I will do as you say." Zhang Jianguo was very happy. He did not lack the two hundred thousand dollars, and he earned it by contracting two more projects.
But Luke's attitude made Zhang Jianguo very happy. With such a broad-minded attitude, the future cooperation between the two will be smoother.
Luke toasted, "Come on, let's have a toast, and wish the future cooperation smooth and make a fortune together."
"Get rich together." The Zhang brothers raised their glasses with joy.
