Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 15 Transaction

Jack obviously couldn't accept this kind of criticism from Lu Bu, and said angrily: "You don't understand true love!"

"But I understand shame." Lu Bu stood up suddenly, startling Jack, but he just straightened his clothes: "If I like someone else's wife in the future, I will let her leave in a dignified way or... kill the other person's man. Then possess her. In your world, everything has a bargaining chip, including women. If you want it, you can fight for it yourself. We have been playing this little trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone for two thousand years."

The moment the door opened, Lu Bu regained his confused expression. The guard sighed and said, "Come out. Mr. Karl has held a banquet for you to express his apology. Of course, your father will accompany you."

"Thank you, uncle~" Under Jack's strange gaze, Lu Bu followed the guard with a fearful expression.

"This little liar!" Jack sat helplessly on the boat. Apparently, Lu Bu saw through his own thoughts and couldn't accept the fact that he could only play with a little bald man, so he sat down helplessly.

On the other side, Lu Bu came to the first class cabin and, under the guidance of the waiter, changed into an evening dress. This kind of dress was somewhat like armor and gave people a sense of restraint. Lu Bu actually enjoyed this feeling.

After washing my face, I went to the restaurant under the guidance of the waiter. I was not full just now, so I could make up for it again.

Lu Bu had previously been wearing a mandarin jacket. Although he had an extraordinary demeanor, he was still a bit rustic. But now that he has changed into a formal dress, his whole temperament has suddenly changed, making people's eyes light up.

"I've kept you guys waiting for a long time." Lu Bu saw Karl and Ruth. The two apparently reached a reconciliation and sat together again.

"As the savior of everyone, you should wait." Ismay was the first to speak. He looked at Lu Bu with a smile and tried to be as amiable as possible.

"Don't send me to the police station, we have to thank you all." Lu Bu nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, little gentleman, Karl was also blinded by anger." Ismay looked at Karl with a smile, and the ends of his two mustaches were slightly rolled up, which always made people feel like they were smiling but not smiling.

"Of course, your bravery and courage make me feel ashamed. You will definitely have a bright future in the future. We are friends in need. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. I will help you if I can." Karl Qiang nodded with a smile. .

"You all can see me so quickly, so you must understand what I mean." Lu Bu looked at everyone, spread his hands and said, "You might as well speak openly, so that everyone can eat this breakfast with peace of mind."

"I appreciate your straightforwardness, my God, it's hard to imagine that you are only five years old." Ismay smiled: "If you were born in England, your future will be limitless!"

"Then let's talk about the conditions." Karl looked at Lu Bu impatiently: "How about ten thousand US dollars?"

Lu Bu picked up the milk on the table and took a sip, and looked at everyone helplessly: "I have already given my sincerity. If you think this is sincerity, I can only accept it, right?"

What Ruth wanted to say was suppressed by her mother.

Mrs. Morley said nothing. She was obviously not qualified to speak on this matter.

"I think Carl didn't express it clearly. Ten thousand US dollars is Carl's gratitude to you. White Star Company is willing to give you one hundred thousand US dollars to express his gratitude." Ismay said with a smile.

Another person stood up and said with a smile: "On behalf of myself, the Guggenheim, I would like to give you one hundred thousand US dollars to express my gratitude to you."

"Thank you. Our family property has sunk to the bottom of the sea with the Titanic. We really need some money to build our father and son's home." Lu Bu returned the gesture to the Guggenheim.

As for what White Star Company gave, that was a transaction.

Since Lu Bu was willing to give up the reputation of this rescue, others also expressed their gratitude. Carl's $10,000 was not the minimum. After all, $10,000 was actually not a lot, and not everyone could afford it.

Lu Bu received a total of 870,000 U.S. dollars in gratitude from Macy's Department Store, which was basically given by check.

After signing the confidentiality agreement, Lu Bu received the 100,000 US dollars promised by White Star Company. This dirty deal in Ruth's opinion was over. The atmosphere of the breakfast was very harmonious. Lu Bu's etiquette was still not standard, but there was one People who have experienced this will not bring trouble to themselves.

"What a pity, he's Chinese!" After the meal was over and Lu Bu left with the check and US dollars, Karl shook his head and smiled at everyone.

"You turned a heroic feat into a money transaction!" Ruth caught up with Lu Bu, looked at Lu Bu angrily and said, "It turns out you are not noble either."

"So?" Lu Bu looked at Ruth speechlessly and said, "Should I fight them to the end, and then go begging on the streets of New York with my father? Or if I fight a lawsuit with them in New York, which lawyer do you think is willing to defend me? Shall we fight? Even if I win in the end, what will I gain!?"

"Praise from the world!" said Ruth.

"No need, we are responsible for revitalizing the family. The praise of the world is worthless to me. I can use it to exchange for the money we urgently need. And they use these reputations to safeguard the interests of the company. Thousands of workers will not lose because of this." Unemployment, I think this is nobler and more valuable than what you said." Lu Bu's understanding of money and capital is obviously much better than Karl's. Karl always wanted to show the charm of money in front of Ruth, but it always backfired, but when it came to Lu Bu Here, his theory leaves Ruth speechless.

"Go back, little princess. Considering your performance on the ship and your final responsibility, I advise you to live a good life with your fiancé. As for the passion with Jack, just treat it as a good memory. If your relationship is forced to continue, Go down, the consequences are not what you are willing to face." Lu Bu waved his hand and said this. After the ship docked, they might not meet again in this life.

After leaving Ruth who was speechless, Johnny, who came to greet the two of them, was surprised: "Now that this is the case, is Carl still willing to keep her by his side?"

Lu Shuxian smiled when he heard this: "They are already planning to get married. If the wedding is canceled at this time, Karl will be embarrassed. Just for this, he must complete the wedding."

The richer and more prestigious aristocrats are, the more unwilling they are to admit their failures. This is why family scandals should not be publicized, and this is true in both the East and the West.

But even if she gets married, Ruth's married life will most likely not be easy. After all, Karl is so proud that every time he sees Ruth, he will think of the woman he sincerely cares about being fucked by a third-class tramp. , you may still be restrained at first, but as time goes by and the love gradually disappears, this problem will definitely come to the fore, and it is also the little girl’s own doing.

free?

There is no absolute freedom in this world. If he really gave her the freedom he wanted, he would probably regret it in the end.

"Bu'er, how are you going to use this money?" Lu Shuxian looked at Lu Bu. After all, this money was Lu Bu's credit, and he, the father, had not actually made any contribution.

Moreover, my son cannot be treated as an ordinary child.

"Tell me what father thinks." Lu Bu looked at his father and asked with a smile.

"My father wants to do shipping trade." Lu Shuxian looked at his son. After seeing the convenience of shipping, Lu Shuxian gradually realized that the growth of Shanxi merchants relied too much on national policies, and the cost of water transportation was usually relatively low. If he could have a few If you can ship and hire some workers to travel between Europe, the United States and Britain, you should be able to make a lot of money.

Lu's father has been in business for half his life and has extremely keen insights in business. Lu Bu still recognizes this. With his father's business ability, shipping is not a problem. The most difficult problem is getting started. In this regard, if you have the start-up capital and connections, They can't build a large trading company, so they can just ask Andrew for help.

The rest, they have to rely on themselves. As for the connections of those capitalists, Lu Bu has no hope. If one day, he becomes stronger here, it will be no problem to find these people. Just like today, there is no problem in mutual benefit and win-win. But when it comes to asking for help... today's checks are the best answer.

At this point, both Lu Shuxian and Lu Bu have a clear understanding.

"It's a pity that after sending you to San Francisco, I have to say goodbye. I have to go back to your country. We have been very happy during this period of time together." Johnny said with some regret. His roots are in China. After leaving there, He was nothing, and he looked down upon small companies like Lu Bu who started their own businesses.

In this regard, the Lu family and his son did not keep him. In fact, if the Qing Dynasty had not tolerated foreigners, Johnny's ability... was incompetent at all. Lu Shuxian was still afraid that he would keep following him. Now that he is leaving, that is It could not be better.

"There are many talented people among these people who came back alive. While they are still on the boat, go and ask if they are willing to follow. We need a group of shipbuilders and navigators!" Lu Bu looked at Lu Shuxian and said.

When a company is just starting up, it must not recruit too many people. It is not safe to recruit other people. These people can be brought together to work together. They have a basis for cooperation and Lu Bu knows their abilities, and there is no need to re-establish authority.

"Use foreigners?" Lu Shuxian looked at Lu Bu and frowned. He was still used to using Chinese. It was easy to communicate and he was friendly in this foreign country.

"If father doesn't want to cause trouble, the people here must be used, at least half of them must be these people." Lu Bu looked at Lu Shuxian with certainty and said.

The Chinese Exclusion Act has not been repealed. Thank God that they can gain a foothold. If they only use Chinese and not Americans, they will basically not be able to achieve good development.

Lu Shuxian reacted, glanced at his son and nodded. His son looked deeply and almost accidentally violated a taboo!

"I'm going to discuss with Andrew later. He's caught a cold, so I'll just give him a look." Lu Bu still had something to ask Andrew.

"Say hello to him on behalf of my father." Lu Shuxian nodded. Having Andrew's connections was already considered a good thing.

------Digression-----

Regarding the update issue, I am chatting with you today. In fact, I have been in this state since November, with a tired mentality. I just kept holding on until this month, after the main story ended, I started a side story. , that tense nerve suddenly relaxed. In fact, I have plenty of time these days. Take today as an example. I usually don’t do housework, so I tidied up the house inside and out. My wife thought I made a mistake. In fact, I just don’t want to update it. The time is uncertain and the impact on subscriptions is not small. But in my mind, it seems that the moment the text is finished, the book is finished, and the tight string cannot be tightened again. I'm tight, I just want to rest, I'd rather do housework than touch the computer~

In short, I try my best to keep up to three updates a day, but I can’t help it for the time being. Please forgive me~
