Hotel Santoro 1801.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the red sun in the morning is jumping out of the sea level. The morning light has dispersed, and the sea and lake are blue like gemstone mirrors. In the distance are dotted with green pearls and dotted islands.
Lu Ming sipped tea and listened to Qing'e 19 reporting on Erica's study and life at Santoro Business School.
Qing'e 19 has always been protecting Erika, and is now Erika's classmate.
"Oh, I made a friend." Lu Ming smiled slightly.
Today, Sunday, Erika's new friend originally asked Erika to go out, but Erika declined.
"Is the little guy up?" Lu Ming asked.
"Seventeen Tai got up early. Miss Chen Xiaoya came to visit and were chatting!" Qing'e Nineteen said respectfully. Within Qing'e, Erika is called Seventeen Tai. Although Liuli is no longer The Sixteenth Queen returned to the West Palace to be revered, but the title of the Sixteenth Queen was naturally vacant.
"Oh, that little girl is here again! It's good." Lu Ming smiled.
Chen Xiaoya is the granddaughter of the great banker Chen Huanxing. She is about the same age as Erika and is studying in the second year of secondary school.
Although she was supposed to be friends with Erika at the beginning because of her grandfather's instructions, but she has been coming so frequently recently, and naturally she really likes Erika. This is normal. Regardless of male or female, who wouldn't love the character in this manga? Where is the beautiful girl who came out?
"Go and invite the madam!" Lu Ming said. Commissioner Zhang's "wife" is naturally Erika.
Not long after Nineteen left, there was a knock on the study door. The pure and beautiful Erika, wearing a pink floral kimono, clogs and white socks, came in with a happy face, "Master, do you want to study with Erika?"
Obviously, this was the moment Erika looked forward to the most, but unfortunately it never came true.
When Lu Ming asked her to go to business school, he also meant that he wouldn't have to go to school and would read textbooks and study with you in the future.
Now she comes to the study again, which makes Erika misunderstand.
Lu Ming coughed and said, "No, I'm going to Biyun Island in a while to solve some things. You can go too and see our island. You have never been there before. Just in time, bring your friends to play. , the scenery there is pretty good.”
"Oh, okay! Xiaoya is here!" Erika nodded happily as she would not be disappointed in her husband.
Lu Ming smiled: "And your good friend from business school, call her and make an appointment to go with her."
"Okay!" Erica was even more happy. Apparently she didn't go out with this new friend and never invited her to the house because she didn't have her husband's permission. But then she made a sad face and said, "She doesn't seem to have a phone at home... …”
Lu Ming smiled: "Nineteenth can find her, let Nineteenth contact her."
Nineteen naturally conducted a detailed investigation of the people close to Erika.
Erika's friend in business school is named Papada. Her mother is of mixed race, and she is a mixed-race illegitimate daughter. Her living conditions are not very good. She has been working to make money since she was a child, but she is very smart, so she can get into Santoro with high scores. After getting a full scholarship from business school, life can be considered stable. Because the full scholarship of Santoro Business School is enough for tuition, books, room and board, and other expenses, there is still some remaining money for students' daily expenses, which completely eliminates all worries for high-quality students and allows them to study with peace of mind.
Of course, Lu Ming could only dream of having such a new friend.
However, in fact, even if Erika's new friend is not a mentor in the traditional sense, he will not interfere.
"Well, thank you, Master!" Over there, Erika nodded happily.
…
From Fairman, we took a helicopter to Biyun Island. In terms of flight time, it is more than 200 kilometers and it takes less than an hour.
Needless to say, the company that provides helicopter services is the flight service company that the guard company registered early in the morning. It is now owned by the Qinghai Tourism Company.
Not long after Lu Ming arrived at Biyun Island, according to the agreement, Gregor from Sune Island brought people to Shi Shiran on a speedboat.
Gegren looks to be in his early twenties, with dark skin and a flat nose, and a typical traditional Mitai appearance.
He was wearing a plaid shirt and white trousers, with his chest open and his belly exposed, revealing his bronze chest. He looked like a typical tropical island lothario.
Under an umbrella near the beach, tropical fruits and iced juices were placed on a small white round table. Lu Ming sat opposite him. Behind him, stood several men from the Mitai tribe with weapons hanging on them. They looked very fierce.
"Mr. Zhang, I went to the East China Sea for a tour. Why did I hear when I came back that there was an election on Green Funa Island?" Geglun looked a little ugly. He was not a fool. He naturally knew that the changes in Biyun Island in the past few days represented What.
Lu Ming smiled: "Going to the East China Sea? Why didn't you inform me that I would be your tour guide? Did you take the Qinghai Tourism Company's plane there? How did you feel?"
"Well, it's fun to fly. You can see the clouds in the sky. Those clouds are very interesting. There are all kinds of clouds. It's magical!" Geglun suddenly became excited when he mentioned the trip to the East China Sea. "The East China Sea is also good. , that building is taller than all the buildings in Fairman put together!”
Suddenly he came to his senses and glanced at Lu Ming angrily, "Let's get down to business first!"
Lu Ming smiled. This guy had naturally been investigated before. He was a guy who longed for the outside world. You could tell by looking at him that he could speak Zhongzhou. According to tribal traditions, he was more like a rebel in many ways.
Qinghai Tourism Company opened a fixed route from Donghai to Fairman, and he couldn't wait to try the new thing.
You know, for example, there is a small tribe with tens of thousands of people in Sunano Island. Although he is the successor and future elder of one of the big families, he also wants to know that the poor island with tens of thousands of people jointly controlled by several families, what can these families do? How powerful is it? As his successor, he shouldn't have too much pocket money. The Qinghai Tourism Company's quote for flying from Fairman to Donghai is not low, which is a huge expense for him.
But he was so excited to try the new route as soon as it opened, which shows his yearning for the outside world.
This trip out was a new tempering of his life experience, but unfortunately, in the tribe, he probably had no one to talk to about his excitement, and he might even have been severely scolded by the elders.
He also deliberately provoked the topic, and this guy really couldn't stand it anymore.
"You really should have told me that I am from the East China Sea!" Lu Ming said with a smile: "If you want to know, I will treat you well. I seemed to be in the East China Sea during the few days you went to the East China Sea! "
Geglun snorted: "People from the East China Sea, although the East China Sea is nice, it's true that you look down on people!" Obviously, with his skin color, he went to the East China Sea and encountered discrimination.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "If I entertain you, nothing unpleasant will happen!"
On the beach over there, two tall blonde beauties came over. They were Britney and Kate. Britney was wearing a light blue skirt, and Kate was wearing a black skirt. Both of them had curvy figures, and with black silk legs and high heels, The professional girl attire makes the two ladies extremely sexy and sultry.
Britney was used to being submissive, but Kate was biting her lip. She obviously felt that this was a humiliation. She certainly wouldn't find it unpleasant to wear business clothes and talk in the sea breeze on the beach, but she was being controlled. It is quite another thing for a free man to command it.
Geglun looked enviously at the two beautiful Western girls sitting on the left and right next to the Middle-earth man. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Let's get down to business!"
Lu Ming smiled: "Well, let's get down to business. Brother Greggren, you should also know that there is no reason for this city to pay taxes to your Sunano Island now! Besides, even if I want to pay..." Pointing at Britney, "This is the city's comptroller. Such illegal expenditures can't pass her test!" He pointed to Kate again, "This is the secretary of the mayor's office. Well, that's my secretary, the city's financial and taxation assistant. , she also doesn’t agree to pay taxes to your Suno Island.”
Greggren frowned.
Lu Ming said: "You should also know that what you are doing now is blackmail, so if this city doesn't agree, what do you Sunano Island want? Someone will come and rob it?"
Geglun was silent for a while, "I can't explain it when I go back."
Lu Ming smiled: "I know, you didn't want to come originally. Just do as I said when you go back. Tell your elders that it's true that I am a foreigner, but I am not one of those Zhongzhou people who know that saving money is afraid of you. Businessman, I also have an identity. I am an observer from the Eastern Alliance stationed here. If you insist on being tough, I'm afraid you will be in big trouble." After a pause, "Actually, if you think about it differently, it would be good to make friends with me. Choice, of course, I look down upon your elders, but you are different. The new generation of Mitai people are forward-thinking and courageous to try. The route from the East China Sea to Fairman has just been opened, and you are the first batch of passengers. On this point, I think you’re a good young man.”
Geglun nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll talk about it when I go back." He immediately realized that he had become a junior, as if without knowing it, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with him. You can tell by looking at his various behaviors. , obviously several levels higher than Gao Youchang. I am afraid that they are the real upper class of Central Continent. The elders of their own tribes all have old ideas and have no idea how big the outside world is.
However, now in Antiguala, the idea of rejecting the Middle-earth people is becoming more and more popular among the Mitai people. It is hard to say what will happen in the future. It is better not to get too close to them.
After thinking about it randomly, Geglun stood up to leave. Lu Ming smiled and watched him get on the boat.
He turned back to Britney and Kate who were standing behind him and said, "You can just stroll around and have fun!" After saying that, he waved his hand and hurried away.
Kate looked at his back and gritted her teeth, "He really regards us as slaves!"
Britney shook her head gently, "You can't say that. How can there be such a free slave? Our life is so comfortable now. It was he who saved us in Shengjing, otherwise..." A trace of gloom flashed across her pretty face, I shudder to think of those horrific scenes.
Kate frowned and looked at her, thinking about the pampered life the four of them had in Shengjing, their arrogance and splendor with everything in Shengjing at their feet, but now, even her companions have resigned themselves to it without any shame.
But, what right do I have to look down on her? I talk tough, but in the end, why don't I just do whatever the devil wants me to do?
Thinking about it, I suddenly felt sad and a tear fell from the corner of my eye.
…
On the tree-lined path of the rubber forest, security captain Liu Dachui stood beside Lu Ming.
Opposite him was a very sturdy middle-aged Mitai man named Anutin. He was standing in front of Lu Ming and looked very uneasy.
Liu Dachui didn't know why the boss called this person. He was not one of the more than forty foremen, just an ordinary worker, inconspicuous, and he had no impression of this Mitai worker at all.
Lu Ming looked at Anutin and said calmly: "I don't care who you were before or what you experienced, but with your knowledge, you should know that Antiguala will soon be in chaos and exclude the people of Central China. Some people are adding fuel to the current of thought, and sooner or later it will explode."
Liu Dachui was even more surprised and wanted to translate, but Lu Ming had already waved his hand, "No, he understands."
"So, you want to live a stable life here? In other words, if you want to live a stable life here, you need to unite, take up arms, and protect your home!" Lu Ming looked at him and said: "You have seen a lot of the world, you should You know, the Central Asian bosses in Antiguala are really good bosses. In those tribal islands, the common people are all poor, and what is the difference between status and slaves? The so-called Antiguala is the Antiguala of the Mitai people. , if the superstructure were all Mitai people, would life really be better?"
Anutin lowered his head and said nothing.
"As for me, I won't say anything secretly in front of Mingren. I definitely didn't come to Antiguala to run such a rubber plantation. Although, this rubber plantation is quite big." Lu Ming smiled and said: "In this case, you can do it later. Select people, about a hundred people. We have a standing security team and militiamen to protect their homes. There should be very few Mitai people who have never touched a gun since they were young. You choose those with good qualifications. After production, We also train with firearms, and our militia members will receive additional salary allowances."
"Okay, go ahead and discuss it with Liu Dachui later. Let's call this militia the Greenforna Free Militia. Liu Dachui is the director and you are the deputy director, but you are mainly responsible for it."
Lu Ming waved his hand and said to Liu Dachui: "Let's go!"
Granny Tuolong secretly inspected the residents of the island, and then discovered Anutin. He was definitely not an ordinary person. He obviously had a different aura and was responsible for many lives. Moreover, he was a tough guy. Granny Tuolong secretly caught him. He was tortured and interrogated, but he endured the severe pain and said nothing. Only after Granny Tuolong gave him medicine did he reveal his life experience.
He was originally from Asentrena, the poppy-producing island with a population of one million. He was the leader of one of the mercenaries armed by drug traffickers. Ten years ago, his employer raped and killed his sister while drunk, so he sobered up. He simply did nothing and wiped out his entire family. He escaped by luck, and after hiding for several months, he finally seized the opportunity, killed his employer and fled. He came to Biyun Island and became an ordinary worker incognito. He also married a wife and had children, and started a new life.
Granny Tuolong let him go and left him a note, asking him to obey the orders of his new island owner.
But of course, there is no need to talk to Liu Dachui about this.
