1586 、 A Mysterious Invitation
"I'm sorry, but I don't seem to know you …" Tang Yu said, pretending to be puzzled.
"That's why I said, 'new' friend, isn't it?" Edward Bachman's face was filled with a sunny smile. It had to be said that this person was indeed a first-class handsome man. And just from his temperament and attire, one could tell that he belonged to a top aristocratic family with hundreds of years of history.
"Wait a minute …" Tang Yu suddenly raised a finger and said after a moment of contemplation, "The Bachman family, the hidden mining tycoon! The family that doesn't usually show up, but controls 40% of the metal mines in the United States behind the scenes! Could it be … "
Edward Bachman waved his hand indifferently and said, "First of all, I have to say that you guessed it right. I am indeed the first heir to the Bachman family. However, I'm not here to meet you in this capacity. As I said just now, I'm just here to make a friend, a friend of equal status. "
Tang Yu smiled, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and personally poured him a glass of red wine. Then he said, "But I don't think I have anything that can enter the eyes of the Bachman family …"
Edward took the red wine and took a sip. Then he said, "Petrus, 1959 … This winery, this year, Mr. Tang Yu. Many nouveau riche just think that the older the wine, the more precious it is, but they don't know that a 1959 red wine, although only two years old, has the best taste … I'm even more interested in you, Mr. Tang Yu. To be honest, whether it's your investment in Luling Town or your enclosure in the Permian Basin, it's not enough to make us look at you seriously. What truly makes me admire you is your knowledge and foresight. It is precisely because of this that we are able to sit here and talk as equals. "
As he said that, he tapped his forehead and made a gesture in front of his eyes. His posture was appropriate and elegant. "There are many people who possess knowledge, and there are also people who have foresight, but there are very few people who have both. I always believe that only such people are the source of power that pushes human civilization forward. Einstein, Oppenheimer, Tesla … they are all such people. Without a doubt, Mr. Tang Yu, I believe that you can also become an outstanding, wise man … "
Tang Yu smiled faintly and said, "I think you're overpraising me. How could I be on par with those three names?" However, his expression didn't have the slightest hint of modesty.
"Hahahaha …" Edward laughed. He raised his glass and gently clinked it with Tang Yu. The crystal goblet made a crisp sound. "Do you know Steven Lang?"
"Oh? That mechanical engineering doctor? I've exchanged some letters with him … "Tang Yu answered.
However, at this time, Peacock suddenly came down from upstairs. She was wearing a loose white fox fur coat, and her exquisite figure was faintly discernible under the clothes. She looked at Edward Backman suspiciously, and then said to Tang Yu, "Is there a guest? Dear, I'm sorry, I was taking a shower just now … "
Tang Yu's face suddenly became a little stiff. He pointed at Peacock and said to Edward, "This is Peacock, my wife."
Seeing Peacock's devastatingly beautiful appearance and graceful figure, Edward Backman didn't hide his admiration. "Your wife is really … too beautiful … I really didn't think that there would be such a beautiful woman in this world."
"Alright, you go back to the bedroom and rest." Tang Yu suddenly said coldly.
Peacock frowned. She was a little puzzled. "But …"
"No buts!! I remember telling you many times not to disturb me when I'm talking to a guest! Now, go back to the bedroom! Then kneel down and wait for me to come back for punishment!! "Tang Yu said sternly.
Peacock's body suddenly trembled. She quickly reacted and pretended to be frightened as she lowered her head and said, "So … sorry … sorry … I'm going back to the bedroom …" After saying that, she staggered and ran back.
"It's not gentlemanly to speak so rudely to such a beautiful woman, Mr. Tang Yu." Edward said with a smile.
"I have a lot of things to do. I don't have time to spend with women. As for my wife, I can only say that she is indeed very beautiful. That's all. "Tang Yu said indifferently.
"I really appreciate your attitude, Mr. Tang Yu. Not being moved by women is the basic quality of a man who does great things. Because with our status, we can have as many women as we want, but there will always be only one career. " Edward took the initiative to sit down and picked up the wine bottle. He poured some red wine for Tang Yu and said, "As a token of appreciation, I happen to have some private land in the Permian Basin. I'll transfer it to you as a personal gift for our first meeting."
"This is a big gift. Then, it would be impolite of me to refuse." Tang Yu said with a smile.
"Let's get back to business … Steven Lang is a very close friend of mine. He can be said to be the top expert in the field of machinery in the United States, but even he is full of praise for you, which shows your ability. Originally, he wanted to invite you, but I immediately came to the conclusion that a talent like you must be personally invited by me. "With that, Edward Bachman took out a black envelope and handed it over.
Tang Yu took the envelope and found that there was nothing on it. It was pure black, so he turned the envelope over and found that the envelope was sealed with wax. There was a seal on it, and the seal looked like a demon's trident!
"I have never seen such a mark …" Tang Yu said with a frown.
"In three days, there will be a banquet, and the location is on the invitation. Believe me, this is your chance to change your life! No matter what dreams you have, what ambitions you have, you can achieve them in our family! With us, you can even … change the world … "Edward Bachman leaned close to Tang Yu and whispered in his ear. Then, he patted Tang Yu's shoulder and walked out with a smile.
"Then, I will wait for your arrival, Mr. Tang Yu."
…
The Christmas night sky was suddenly covered by countless flashes of lightning. These abnormal flashes of lightning came and went quickly, almost as if they were gone in a flash. Then, a meteor cut through the night sky and fell from the sky …
In a nearby farm, a little boy of eight or nine years old saw the meteor in the sky and hurriedly ran to shake the arm of his mother who had just fallen asleep. "Mom, mom, wake up, there's a meteor!"
"Well … dear Allen, meteors happen every day …" The little boy's mother turned over and continued to sleep.
The little boy looked at the sky again, only to see that unlike the meteors that dissipated in the air, this meteor landed directly on the ground, and the landing point was not far from their farm!!
He hurriedly ran to the door, picked up a wooden stick, and whistled. A big yellow dog ran over happily. The little boy said to the big yellow dog, "Let's go, Toby, let's go and see!"
