A speedboat sailed along the coastline of the emerald island. This is an island not far from the Fellman Peninsula, called Green Funa Island, which in free translation is Biyun Island.
The island has a land area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, and it takes two to three hours for a speedboat to make a full circle around it.
Lu Ming was on the speedboat, listening to Chen Huanxing's introduction to the situation on the island.
This is a rubber plantation island with about 30,000 hectares of rubber trees, which is almost 450,000 acres.
Almost all of the 20,000 to 30,000 Mitai residents on the island depend on rubber plantations.
"Lao Gao, come and tell yourself!" After introducing the situation on the island, Chen Huanxing suddenly laughed and cursed: "You old guy, you are really trying to save trouble."
There is an old man in his fifties with slightly white temples who is about the same age as Chen Huanxing. His name is Gao Youchang. From the tone of their conversation, you can tell that they are real old friends.
Gao Youchang smiled and said, "If you didn't say this, would Mr. Zhang be more convinced?"
Gao Youchang is the owner of this rubber plantation. The entire island's land belongs to him. He is also one of Fairman's rubber kings.
He is preparing to transfer the rubber plantation as a whole and leave Antiguara.
It just happened to have such an opportunity, maybe I met a big buyer.
Five million, real money and silver can be taken out immediately.
For most people in Central China, even if they want to leave, it is really difficult in all aspects.
Moreover, many people from Central China have already regarded this place as their home, and it is difficult to leave their homeland.
"Are the Mi Tai workers here easy to manage?" Lu Ming asked.
The Mitai people are a bit like the Southeast Asians in their previous lives. They have darker skin color, flat noses and protruding mouths and lower chins. They are the indigenous people here and account for about four-fifths of the population.
The Yasiya people migrated later. They have high noses and fair skin. They have a population of less than 10 million. They are entrenched on more than 20 remote islands. There are large islands with millions of people and small islands with tens of thousands of residents.
.
"It's easy to manage your own workers who depend on you for their livelihood." Gao Youchang hesitated, "But, to be honest with you, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to say in the future."
Lu Ming smiled. Fortunately, people say that people from Central China are most afraid of meeting people from Central China outside, and their own people are the most ruthless in cheating their own people. But for the top wealthy people in these places, they still have business ethics.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "In principle, I agree to buy this rubber plantation, but it still needs professionals to evaluate it, including auditing the accounts, etc. My team will contact you soon, Mr. Gao." In fact, five.
One million, the entire island includes nearly 500,000 acres of oak orchards in the mature stage. As long as there is nothing special and the asking price is indeed not high, Gao Youchang must be eager to sell, but he doesn’t want to take advantage of those greedy and hateful upper-level Mi Tai, so he gives
I set a very affordable price myself.
Over there, listening to Lu Ming's words, Gao Youchang and Chen Huanxing were stunned. It was the first time they encountered such a huge deal, and they reached their intention so easily.
Today is the first time that everyone has met each other. Even Mr. Zhang has not even landed on the island to take a look.
At this time, the speedboat slowly moored at the small pier of the island. There were already several Zhongzhou people waiting. They should be Gao Youchang's employees and the management of this rubber plantation.
The rubber trees are neatly arranged and divided into several large areas on the island, and there are various wooden house areas scattered on the island.
Walking slowly in the rubber forest, Gao Youchang's employees introduced the tree varieties, yields, etc., and naturally they all said good things.
The rubber trees here can theoretically be harvested every day, but it usually starts in April and ends in November, with August being the peak harvest period.
At the end of September, there are not many workers harvesting rubber anymore. They are working on trees that shed more rubber, and they are cutting shallowly instead of deep cutting during the peak period. Moreover, in autumn, harvesting can be done during the day, and during the rainy season in summer, it can be harvested.
Rubber tapping should be completed before dawn, otherwise the bark of the tree will be damaged.
Lu Ming wandered around and suddenly said: "Actually, I want to invest in a travel company."
Chen Huanxing was startled, and Gao Youchang looked even more disappointed.
Lu Ming gave Gao You a long smile: "It does not affect our cooperation. I think that with the emergence of air passenger transport, the tourism industry may usher in a period of rapid development. This travel company mainly relies on route customers and also charter flights."
, the scenery here is very good, and it feels different from the coastal city. In short, the travel company I invested in will definitely open a fixed route from the East China Sea to here, once every three days or once a week? We will see when the time comes. Of course, it will definitely have to make stops.
I will study several cities and other routes." The rest of the words were mainly addressed to Chen Huanxing.
Chen Huanxing and Gao Youchang looked at each other, "Tourism? It's not peaceful outside. There are wars in many places. No matter how you think about it, the golden age of the tourism industry will not come soon."
Fixed routes for air passenger transportation are unheard of in the empire, and I'm afraid they will lose money.
Lu Ming smiled: "Brother Chen, are you interested in doing this with me?"
Chen Huanxing was a little embarrassed and said haha, "You can consider it, you can consider it."
Lu Ming smiled inwardly. Of course, the reason for doing tourism to Fairman and Antiguala was not based on economic benefits.
The most important thing is the long fixed route from the East China Sea to Fellman.
It will be the best exercise for your secret air force to train your long-distance air transportation capabilities.
Even when there are no guests, we can transport paratroopers for training, etc., or add flights at short notice.
Moreover, it will also test and promote the development of Sanmai's aircraft technology, and it will also release the production capacity of Sanmai aircraft transport aircraft.
As long as the travel company's income does not lose money and the income can be worth the investment in secretly training its own flight crews, then it will fulfill its mission.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming added: "Actually, the tourism industry also promotes Fairman. With more tourists, the economy will be promoted, and information exchange will be frequent, which will also make many people pay attention to what is happening here. Some organizations
If you want to get into trouble with careerists, you will have worries. In addition, Fairman is already a famous tourist attraction, but it is not explored enough. If you dig it carefully, I still think there is a lot to do."
After listening to Lu Ming's words, Chen Huanxing's eyes flickered, and he thought for a while and said: "It sounds like doing charity, Mr. Zhang. The Chamber of Commerce does charity every year, but I am not the one who has the final say on the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Zhang can make a plan."
, our chamber of commerce will discuss it, and maybe we can provide Mr. Zhang’s travel company with financial help for public welfare free of charge.”
Lu Ming smiled: "Okay, actually, when the rubber plantation deal is finalized, I can also join our chamber of commerce, right?"
"Of course Mr. Zhang is qualified. I'm afraid Mr. Zhang won't be willing to give in!" Chen Huanxing laughed happily.
…
Erica was wearing snow-white casual clothes and she was extremely beautiful. Although she was frightened at this moment, she was ordered by her husband to sit on the chair obediently and let her husband's warm hands grab her snow-socked feet and push them into her beautiful and cute little body.
Inside her small travel shoes, she watched her husband tie her shoelaces carefully and pampered her so much that her heart was full of sweetness and shyness.
"Okay!" Lu Ming stood up with a smile, "Today is also the first time in your life that you have entered a public school. I will take you there!"
Erica stood up quickly and nodded: "Okay."
Lu Ming suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, are you and Chen Xiaoya asking about the business school here?"
Chen Xiaoya, the granddaughter of Chen Huanxing, came here yesterday to play with Erika for half a day.
Erica secretly looked at Lu Ming's expression and whispered, "Yes."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Why, do you want to enter a business school in the future? By then, we may not be here anymore!" At this point, he sighed softly, "You have been wandering around with me at such a young age."
Originally, I had talked to Lu Yoshimitsu, also known as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and I wanted him and his wife to go to Montenegro, and Erika would just stay with them. She would be able to go to school in Montenegro, and I would feel at ease. In this way, the life of a family of three should be good.
Who would have thought that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would immediately feel sad, as if he thought he had ruined Erika and then wanted to abandon his lovely daughter. Apparently, thinking of his daughter's tragic experience, he blamed himself and wanted to commit suicide.
I had no choice but to take Erika with me. Moreover, deep down in my heart, I also liked Erika very much. Apart from anything else, she bloomed with colors everywhere, just like a super beautiful girl from the comics.
I feel happy just looking at her. If I never see her again, I will really miss her.
"I, I want to go to business school and study with you, master..." Over there, Erika hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered it out. Then, she lowered her head and did not dare to raise her head again. Even her little body was slightly nervous.
Trembling, this was the first time she had put forward her little idea to her husband.
"Master" in the Japanese context is also an honorific term used by the aristocratic class for the "husband" with a high status.
Do you want to study with yourself? Lu Ming was startled, then laughed dumbly, thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's go to business school, but I definitely can't go. Whatever you learn, you might as well be my teacher!"
"
Erika looked up in a daze. She probably never expected that her husband would agree to her so happily. This idea has been bothering her for a long time, but she didn't dare to say it. She finally worked up the courage today. After saying it, her legs felt a little numb.
Soft, my whole body has no strength, and I feel like I'm going to collapse.
Lu Ming was thinking that Erica went to middle school because he wanted to give her a happy girlhood. Making more friends was a complete waste of time from the perspective of acquiring knowledge.
Since Erica wants to go to college, she might as well go to college. The Santoro Business School in Chinatown is small in size and has not many students, but it is very famous in Antiguara. Originally it was only run by wealthy businessmen in Zhongzhou to educate their children.
It is a college, but now it is the most coveted economics university in the state. Mi Tai students are flocking to it. If you are admitted to Santoro Business School, it means a class jump. Not to mention, if you can enter Zhongzhou
The circle of descendants of the elite class brings future opportunities and opportunities.
In terms of teaching quality, Santoro Business School is much better than Shengjing Business School, not on the same level at all.
Moreover, as a private school with sufficient self-sponsorship, Erika will not have any difficulty getting into it.
Graduation is difficult and requires serious study and practice, but it shouldn't be a problem for Erika.
After thinking about it, he looked up and saw Erika seemed to be wiping away tears. She was probably too happy. Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh: "Silly boy, oh, what a stupid boy!" He stretched out his hand to gently wipe away the traces of tears on her delicate little face, "Then
Let’s not go to the middle school today, let’s go for a walk together, and tomorrow I will take care of your business school admissions.”
Erica nodded lightly and murmured in a low voice, "Thank you, Master..." Her hot little face was held in her husband's warm hands, as if her heart melted, as if she was there, sweet and warm, and she couldn't extricate herself.
