Rebirth 1912 starts with people on the Titanic

Chapter 44: I'm just testing him

"Thank you for showing us the way, Billy. Bruce took out a hundred meters and handed it to Billy, "Your hometown is very beautiful. "

"Oh, dear Mr. Li, thank you for the compliment, we don't really have much to see here except for the pasture, and if you come here, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Billy said with some sadness.

"Oh, you mean, it's going to be very rewarding if I come here to invest?" Bruce laughed playfully.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to expose his true purpose to Billy.

Otherwise, a strange rich man inexplicably waving a banknote and running to a remote town to invest, no matter how you think about it, it will give people a sense of discord.

He had to let Billy open his mouth so that he could hide his true purpose as much as possible.

"Huh...... Mr. Li, I can't boast that although there is nothing special about the town of Conroe, it is very suitable for pastures, and there are large woods next to it that can be used for processing wood. If it is used for investment, it will naturally have a bright future. Billy said in a serious way.

Bruce glanced at the somewhat desolate town, shook his head and laughed, "Billy, do you think I'm a fool?".

Billy quickly shook his head and denied, "Oh, no, no, no, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to brag about the town of Conroe. "

"And what do you mean?" said Bruce, grimacing.

"This ...... I don't mean anything else, Mr. Lee. I mean, if you really want to invest here, I can sell you the ranch. As long as your price is right. Billy was pressed by Bruce's strong pressure, and suddenly became weak.

Seeing this, Bruce laughed with satisfaction.

"Billy, you're right, I do intend to invest in Conroe, but I don't want anyone to cheat me, you know?" Bruce narrowed his eyes and glanced coldly at Billy.

"Ah, yes, yes, I understand, I understand. So what are you going to do? I mean, what are you going to invest in here?" Billy was furious, and nodded and laughed.

"I don't know, but seeing how desolate this place is, I can't make up my mind. Bruce feigned hesitation.

Hearing this, Billy suddenly became anxious.

He hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, in fact, this place is really suitable for investment." The land is still fertile, and there is a large lake next to it, so you don't have to worry about water at all. Land prices here are also cheap, less than half of those around Houston. "

"Oh, then tell me what the price of an acre here is, and I'll see if it can meet my psychological expectations. Bruce asked, looking away.

"Eighty meters is an acre!" Billy gestured.

Hearing this, Bruce was about to leave without saying a word.

The price Billy said was indeed quite a bit lower than the price of land elsewhere in Houston.

But he understood that Billy must still have reservations and did not tell the true price.

Seeing that Bruce was leaving, Billy was really anxious.

He did take a chance just now and deliberately raised some prices.

This is just a little selfishness on his part, hoping that his ranch can be sold for a little more money.

"Mr. Li, you are in a hurry to leave first, this price is still negotiable. Billy said eagerly catching up with Bruce.

Bruce saw that the heat was almost over, and he stopped beating around the bush with Billy.

He stopped and said with a blank face, "Billy, I tolerated your repeated deception on me because you just helped me. If you still think of me as a deceitful outsider, I advise you to put away those careful thoughts, otherwise you will regret it. "

"Oh, no, Mr. Li, I have absolutely no reservations this time, and I am willing to lower the price a little more if you agree to buy my ranch. Billy said anxiously.

"Well, come and hear it!" Bruce said, feigning impatience.

"Sixty meters, as long as sixty meters an acre, what do you think?" Billy looked at Bruce expectantly.

Bruce didn't immediately agree, but deliberately lowered his head and thought about it.

Just when Billy was in a hurry to lower the price again, Bruce finally lifted it.

"Okay, Billy. For your sake, I'm willing to buy your ranch at this price. Bruce said lightly.

"Really, Mr. Lee?" said Billy, who almost jumped up in excitement.

He could finally have the money to go to the casinos in Houston for a long time.

But Bruce changed his words and said, "However, you have to help me with one thing." If you help me do this, you can get more money. "

Billy didn't know what Bruce would offer, and became a little uncertain for a moment.

On one side is the money he has in mind, and on the other side is the powerful Bruce.

In the end, Billy still can't resist the thirst for money.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Li wants me to do?"

Seeing him so nervous, looking like he was going home, Bruce suddenly laughed.

He patted Billy's arm and comforted, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a man-eating monster." I'm just asking you to help me acquire land in the small town of Conroe. "

Hearing Bruce say this, Billy suddenly came to his senses.

Although he is in the town, because he lost his family property, he is not well-known in the town.

Fortunately, he has a good mouth, but he can talk to the townspeople.

If Ruth had only asked him to buy the land in the town, Billy was confident that he would have been able to do it.

Listening to what Bruce just meant, if he can do this for him, he can get extra compensation.

The thought of this made Billy's heart heat up.

Billy patted his chest and laughed, "It turned out to be such a trivial matter." Boss Li is relieved that many people in the town have long been willing to sell their land. As long as your price is reasonable, it is easy to acquire a large piece of land. "

Bruce smiled and nodded, "I hope so." I'm going to give you the right idea to do it for me, and I'm going to buy it at the price I just gave you. As for how much difference you can make from it, it's up to you. "

Hearing this, Billy's eyes lit up.

He had already made a lot more money at the price of sixty dollars per acre.

If he really buys other land in town at the price Bruce offers, as long as he does it well, he can make a lot of money from it.

Without waiting for Billy to be happy, Bruce directly gave Billy another benefit of not hesitating him.

"In addition, for every acre of land you acquire, I will give you another one meter of commission. How much commission you can earn depends on how much land you can acquire. Bruce said with a kind smile.

This time, Billy's heart was even hotter.

"Is it okay to have any land, am I the mountains over there?" said Billy, his eyes slightly reddened, pointing to the woods on either side of the town.

Bruce nodded without hesitation and said, "Count!".

Billy didn't hesitate any longer, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I promise you, Mr. Li." "

Bruce snickered in his heart, but nodded impertently on the surface, "You made a very wise decision, Billy. I'll be waiting for you in Houston. "

With that, Bruce pulled a checkbook out of his pocket, took a pen from Barudo, and wrote down an amount on it with a few clicks.

After signing his name, Bruce handed the check to Billy.

Billy took the check and glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After calming down for a long time, Billy asked Bruce in disbelief, "Mr. Li, aren't you afraid that I will run away with so much money?"

Bruce laughed: "It's just a few hundred thousand meters, and it's just a drop in the bucket for me." However, you can also try, maybe it will work?".

With that, Bruce looked at Billy with a smile.

Billy was furious at Bruce's eyes, as if he was being stared at by a beast that chooses to eat people.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Billy plucked up his courage and said, "Lee...... Mr. Li rest assured, although I am not a good person, I can still distinguish the severity. I'll help you get things done. "

Bruce nodded in satisfaction and patted Billy on the shoulder encouragingly, "I believe in you, Billy. You have to be fast enough, though, because I'm not going to be in Houston for long. "

"Okay, I'll get enough land for you as soon as possible, Mr. Li. Billy hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

Bruce nodded a few words of encouragement to Billy, and then took three of his men around town.

Before leaving, Billy was full of excitement and saw off Bruce and the group.

He was touched by the fact that Bruce trusted him so much as a gambler.

After leaving the town of Conroe, Barudo still asked Bruce uneasily, "Boss, did you really hand over hundreds of thousands of rice dollars to that Billy like this?"

Brusby said unapprehended, "I'm just testing him." "

As he spoke, Bruce winked at He Wenbin.

He Wenbin, who had not spoken much, nodded knowingly, and the four-person team that left without saying a word disappeared into the wilderness after a while.
