相比起通过游说白宫、推动司法部发起司法调查、买通证人……这些野蛮人的手段去抢夺属于别人的财富,他更倾向于顺势而为,在看好的方向上下注。 To put it bluntly, like horse racing. 说白了,就像赛马一样。 That horse that the true victor did not cross the goal line absolutely, with picking up the master of medal and bonus, but is these in the banker who on the outside offers wins all chips. 真正的胜利者绝对不是冲过终点线的那匹马,和抱走奖牌和奖金的主人,而是那些在外盘上赢走所有筹码的庄家。 „Damn!” “该死！” The fist pinches tightly

on Earth in 2040 will be electric, the oil consumption only will still restore to 2013 level, the oil deal was still profitable, my also suggestion you can seriously consider heartfeltly this project......” 从沙发上站起了身来,劳伦斯向自己旁边的助理点了点头,示意他去开车,然后继续看向了坐在对面的伍兹,“巴拉圭的那块油田我们很感兴趣,我们的分析师做了预测,即使在2040年地球上的每辆汽车都是电动的,石油消费量也会只恢复到2013年的水平,石油生意仍然是有利可图的,我也衷心的建议你们能够认真考虑一下这个项目……” Looks that obviously has Woods who what words want to speak, Lawrence stopped the moment, smiles to continue to say slightly. 看着明显有什么话想讲的伍兹,劳伦斯停顿了片刻,微微笑了笑继续说道。 „Naturally, you do not need to ridicule me immediately, the history

the sofa, Woods frowns to ask: „Did you prepare to walk?” 紧跟着从沙发上站起身来,伍兹皱了下眉头问:“你准备走了吗？” „Un,” Lawrence nods, lifts the left hand to look at time, „the airplanes of three o'clock, I almost should pass.” “嗯,”劳伦斯点了点头,抬起左手看了一眼时间,“三点钟的飞机,我差不多该过去了。” „Goes?” “去哪？” „Sees an old friend.” “见一位老朋友。” Lawrence smiles to continue. 劳伦斯笑了笑继续说。 „Long time no see, heard good that he mixed recently.”
