Zhang Lisheng's words were merciless and pointed directly at the core of the controversy. The people in the wooden house looked at each other. Obviously, they could not have imagined that the young man who was said to have suffered a headache was so sharp.

After a moment of silence, Howard said frankly: "It turns out that 'Greed is the greatest original sin' written in the Bible. You said it well. That's what we planned. When things are at this point, we can only listen to your conditions."

"My conditions, Mayor Howard, don't you know that I suffered a terrible shipwreck a month ago and my mind is in chaos now?

My lawyer, Mr. Wells, and Mr. Charlie, are not always negotiating with you, but the conditions they put forward are mine.”

"Oh, young men, don't mention those two damn Jews, they can squeeze oil out of the stones. Since you accept my invitation, it means you are interested in reconciliation with us, right?

According to your price, you can only slaughter pigs for 50 meters, 150 meters of cattle, and 40 meters of sheep. The people in this house represent the 47 village farmers' associations in the suburbs of New York. We are willing to jointly book your slaughter share, with only one condition that all industries under your name will not be allowed to sign commercial contracts with California farms in the future.”

After hearing Wells' words, Zhang Lisheng walked to the only empty chair in the crowded wooden house, and said seriously: "Mayor Howard, I understand that the 'Farmers Federation' plays an important role in American society, but there is an old saying in China that is 'No desires are strong'. I wonder if you have ever heard it?"

"Li Sheng, China is on the other end of the earth, too far from Cassland Town. Can you say it simpler?" Howard said with a wry smile.

"Of course, this old saying says that if a person does not have too many desires, he will become strong. For example, my wish is to become a biologist, and everything he does now is to prepare for his future ideals.

And because I don’t want to be a politician or a super rich man in the future, I don’t need to please anyone now. No matter how big your potential is or how high the number of people you represent, I don’t care.”

"What's more, you have now obtained the support of California farmers. As for the same sentence, let's give your conditions, young people, as long as it's not too much, we can discuss it."

"My conditions are very simple. The new LS slaughterhouse can provide the share of self-service slaughterhouses to farmers near New York City according to the previous pricing of pigs for 50 meters, cattle for 150 meters, and sheep for 40 meters. The share of self-service slaughtering is given priority to the Farmers' Federation near New York City, but there is an additional condition, that is, you, Mayor Howard, must be excluded from the contract."

Howard's body was obviously stiff, "Mr. Zhang Lisheng, are you expelling me from the Council of the Caseyland Town Farmers Federation in disguise?"

Zhang Lisheng seemed to have not heard Howard's question, stood up silently from the wooden chair and walked out the door. Before leaving the door, he turned around and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Mayor Howard, everyone has to bear the consequences for everything they do, right? You are out."

Two days later, in the huge office with the only two-story building on the new site of the SL slaughterhouse, which was opened up in the entire floor and was visible on one side on all sides. Zhang Lisheng signed a slaughter share allocation contract with Da*niu ​​Town, Shuzuo Town, Bedouke Town, and a total of 47 village farmers' federations in the New York metropolitan area.

After the contract was signed, Willy, the former only husband and wife employee of the LS slaughterhouse, now the expanded new slaughterhouse chief and deputy manager of the interior department, Tifanna, carefully pushed a 'cup tower' built with a goblet into the office with a shiny food truck.

Zhang Lisheng personally took out two large bottles of top-grade 'blueberry' champagne from the freezer, stood on the chair that Willie brought, filled the glass of champagne, picked up the glass of champagne on the top and held it high, "Dear gentlemen, although there were many twists and turns and unhappiness in the middle, in the end we signed this heavy contract with our understanding and kindness to each other.

From then on, we are partners, collaborators, and friends who can trust each other. Let us drink champagne and commemorate this wonderful moment and drink it!”

This sincere toast was naturally not Zhang Lisheng's performance on the spot, but the work of the experienced and slick business representative Charlie, found by his lawyer Wells.

Charlie, the real author of the toast, was also on the scene at this time. After Zhang Lisheng finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and applauded the second one and picked up the champagne, and said loudly in a very inciting tone: "What a sincere, touching sentence, it's really touching!

Let's cheer!"

Charlie's behavior made Zhang Lisheng feel numb, but unexpectedly, the farmers' Federation representatives and lawyers who were having fun fighting with the business representative of the new LS slaughterhouse at the negotiating table were very enthusiastic and applauded, and they all hugged the 'cup tower', holding champagne high and cheered: "May our friendship last forever and drink."

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, climbed down from the office chair, clinked glasses one by one with many people who were scrambling to clink glasses with him, and drank champagne in one go.

The crowd cheered, and at this time, an old white man with a thick palm in a black suit suddenly held his hand, "Young man, since you said you have become our 'partners, collaborators, friends who can trust each other', then I hope you can join the Green Town Farmers Federation and take office as our director."

"If you don't plan to quietly 'trickle me' like Mayor Howard, I will say I'm honored." Zhang Lisheng was stunned again and said with a smile.

"The person who wants to trip you ended up being tripped. I think everyone in this room will remember this lesson. We clearly see how you treat the 'enemy'," the old man laughed and pointed at Willy and Tifenna, "and also saw how you treat your loyal subordinates."

"Mr. Grace said it well. We hope to get your friendship. Mr. Zhang. On behalf of the Emerlit Town Farmers Federation, I sincerely invite you to become our director."

“On behalf of Dahu Town, I invite you to be us…”

“I represent Stump Town…”

Like the raging flu, one infected two, two infected four, four infected eight... Soon Zhang Lisheng was invited by all the contracted village farmers' federations to take office as directors.

Because of this episode, the signing ceremony was a long time before it was finally completed. After seeing off all the representatives of the farmers' federation and their lawyers, the first batch of livestock that had already been waiting outside the workshop was transported into the new LS slaughterhouse according to the contract.

Soon, the numbers began to jump on the main screen of the monitor on the office wall, and the number representing Zhang Lisheng's account of the mi yuan and money exceeded 10,000 in a short while.

"Fortunately, I make money a little faster than you, otherwise I would not be able to afford your expensive lawyer's fees." Zhang Lisheng looked at the wealth accumulated on the screen, walked to his desk, and wrote a check and handed it to Wells, "It's enviable that 20,000 meters per hour, such a high fee but only doing a little thing."

"Mr. Li Sheng, you think it's easy for me to make money now, but the efforts I made before collecting this fee are unimaginable for ordinary people. And after I help you run a company registered in an overseas island country, the annual tax avoidance funds will be several times the cost of hiring me."

"I'm just kidding at Lawyer Wells. Of course I understand how much help your professionalism has given me. Thank you for your help, just like I am very grateful to Mr. Charlie." Zhang Lisheng said and wrote another check and handed it to Charlie.

"Oh, thank you for your generous reward, Mr. Li Sheng. It is completely worthy of my professional efforts. I hope I can serve you again if I have the chance." After Zhang Li Sheng's lawyer and the temporary business representative who completed his mission received satisfactory reward, he joked and revealed his intention to say goodbye.

“Can lawyer Wells answer my question for free?

I really don’t understand how the representatives of those farmers’ federations changed so quickly. Didn’t it mean that their federation has a deep historical foundation for hundreds of years?”

"Mr. Li Sheng, the strength of the Farmers Federation is like a trade union, based on the "many and powerful". These people are essentially some "rural bullies". You have seized the common "interest" of all their members, but they have no way to do you. In this case, you still expect them to be tough.

However, when you have the upper hand, you can make decisive concessions and choose to sign a contract in a way that both parties are satisfied with, which actually makes me appreciate very much.

You are destined to be an ordinary person in the future. For a powerful person who wants to have a wide influence in all aspects of society, geopolitical concepts are actually very important. You were born and lived in New York, and now you choose to stand on the same position as the New York City Farmers Federation, which is very beneficial to the future.

This question is free. I had an appointment with another party to meet in the evening and see Mr. Li Sheng again." Wells said some intriguing words and said goodbye with a smile.

"I've said goodbye, too, see Mr. Li Sheng." Charlie also waved his hand at Li Sheng Zhang and walked out of the office with Wells.

Zhang Lisheng was left alone in the spacious office. He thought about Wells' words, stood up, walked to a glass wall, looked at the long queues of trucks driving into the workshop outside the window, and murmured: "It seems that in the final analysis, this world revolves around the word "interest". I seem to have grasped the trick of doing business.

Unfortunately, for me, neither rights nor wealth are the most wanted 'interest'..."
