"Little manager, are we still going to the mine today?"
Geora wiped his sweat. He stood in the carriage and looked up at the darkening sky. He took a box of copper plates from Bolu's hand and Bolu cooperated in lifting the box containing the copper plates.
While answering:
"Of course I'll go. The piled ore doesn't get off work at night. You can go and see it anytime. They're all there."
"They still call you the little manager?"
Zhu Yiwei, who was standing aside, heard Geola's name, and she joked to Bolu:
"You are such an official fanatic. You are still using this title that is not even a formal title and you still don't want to change it?"
"What kind of official fanatic is this? The main reason is that everyone is used to it. Is there any problem?"
"If you don't change your name, it will always make others think that you are still thinking about Hongshan. Is there anyone who regrets it and wants to go back?"
"Will it have such an impact?"
Bolu was silent for a moment. After Geola jumped out of the car and the two closed the fender, he asked Geola:
"Goola, do you want to go back? Are there any workers who want to go back?"
Geola was silent for a moment, recalling Bolu's past and making sure that he would not launch a major purge because of such things, so he boldly answered:
"Yes, who doesn't want to go home, but we don't want to go back. When we left, we had already thought clearly. Since you, the young manager, were inexplicably charged, Hongshan might also be sent next.
Clean up the people. Those of us who have a close relationship with you, the young manager, and are the people who organize production, will definitely not have a good life if we stay. So it’s okay to take us away, at least it will be a way to survive."
He paused and added:
"Those who have worries at home and can't leave basically stay in Hongshan. Those who are willing to come to the island are those who think you are trustworthy, young manager, and are willing to follow you to have a try. But there is something we don't understand now.
Are we now considered a part of Casadoria or a part of Star Island?"
Bolu opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer this question. Because he actually didn't know what role his group of people played on this island.
So this time it was Poru's turn to be silent.
Although the relationship with Star Island is in the honeymoon period, the relationship between the two parties is indeed unclear. For example, does this island belong to Star Island, Esodu, or ourselves? The tower is leased to us,
Or sell it to yourself? Are we on Ta Island a production group under the rule of Xing Tao, or a refuge group that rents the island?
These questions were so chaotic in Bolu's mind that he couldn't even figure them out.
This also made him worried - if the mage declared that he had territorial sovereignty over the entire Star Island Islands, including Ta Island, would he have no choice but to resolutely give up his independent status on the spot and embrace it?
Although the mages' thighs feel very good, if it doesn't work, becoming a subsidiary of the Sing Tao Group is not an unacceptable situation, but living as a cooperative supplier is obviously more free.
At that time, he had no choice but to leave and didn't have time to think about it. The teacher relied on his personal relationship with Xingdao to find a way out, so he had to come.
Now, it is necessary to determine the rights and obligations with Xingdao.
His thinking continued until the moment he set off, and he suddenly turned to Zhu Yiwei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and said, "You're right."
"What? What's right?"
This nonsense made her stunned for a moment.
"You are right about the relationship between us and Hongshan. Our current system is unclear to Hongshan. This is very bad. It may make many workers think that we will return to Hongshan sooner or later. But we
I would never go back with such confusion.
From the moment we set foot on Tower Island, although we had no actual feeling, we had been cut off from the past social ties that belonged to Casadoria, and must be cut off.
After all, we have all probably been declared defectors by now, and the only way we can go back is to line up for the gallows. We can only make it through as victors or conquerors."
Geora let out a heavy sigh.
Anyway, the train hadn't started yet, so he turned his head impatiently: "Teacher, what is our relationship with Xingdao? Did Xingdao sell this island to us or lease it to us, or did Xingdao hire us?
Let’s build this island here?”
This question made Landau stunned for a moment: "Is this important? With the relationship between Hendrick and I, it shouldn't be, right?"
"Teacher, it's very important. To be honest, it's a bit late for us to think about this issue now. After all, we don't have people here who are good at solving political problems."
Polu said seriously:
"My own feeling is that Xingdao is like a person who has a territory and takes in his friends to live in his own territory. There is no problem here, but if we don't figure this problem out, it may be a problem for the island in the future.
It caused a certain amount of ideological confusion. For example, this friend is going to start building something on the island. Who do these things belong to? Or even, will these friends eventually become his subjects? So this question, yes
It affects every aspect that follows.”
"If we and Xingdao don't have the same idea about the ownership of the island, and it continues to be unclear, not only may there be friction, but it may even affect your personal relationship with Hendrick. How about we make an appointment,
Invite representatives from Leonardo and Xingdao to discuss this issue carefully?"
Landau nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense. It seems that we thought too simply before. Hendrick privately promised us to build whatever we want, and it won't be a problem with him here, but we should put this
The question has become legitimate. Zhu Yiwei, can you contact your teacher about this question?"
"Okay, I'll contact my teacher right now."
Four days later, Bolu followed his teacher and Zhu Yiwei, stepped into the portal that appeared not far in front of him, and walked directly into a building on the main island of Star Island.
"You feel like you're a little used to portals now?"
Just after his dizziness ended, and before he could figure out what was going on around him, several different voices rang out.
"Ha! Landau, long time no see. It seems that the strong sea breeze on Ta Island has not made you older."
"Don't mention it, it's really windy there."
"I just said those idiots were unreliable, but you still came back."
"I'm not going for them, I'm going for my students. Come on, Polu, let me introduce you. This is Coleridge and this is Zacharias. Plus you've already
As I know Hendrick, the three of them are the actual controllers of Star Island."
Before setting off, Polu had already asked Zhu Yiwei what kind of etiquette should be used when meeting these people for the first time. At this time, he calmly used the labeling etiquette that he had practiced many times.
"Good day Master Coleridge, Master Zacharias, and Master Hendrick."
Landau smiled and answered their questions: "Since they can't tolerate us, let's move to another place. Now let's get down to business, what about Ta Island? You all just have to express your stance."
"It's really shameful of you to waste the time of the three of us on such a broken island. The place has only a port of some value, and there are no crystals or magic material deposits on the island, just some iron ore. I told you to build it as you like.
It doesn’t matter if it’s blown up and sunk! We really need a port to stay, so we can put in some effort and pull an island out of the sea and that’s it.”
"That's right."
"that is."
Landau pointed out the key point: "We don't need each other, but our people still need it for work. Does that mean the entire island was given to us? Then the relationship between our two islands is an alliance, and we don't need each other.
Under the jurisdiction, Ta Island is a completely independent political entity and has full sovereignty over Ta Island. Have we reached an agreement?"
These awkward terms were pondered by Polu in the past few days. Although I don't know if these big guys understood it, they quickly agreed.
"no problem!"
"right!"
"good!"
"Okay, we've finished expressing our position. You can discuss the remaining terms and procedures among yourselves. Landau, come with us. I just have something to ask you."
Coleridge waved his hand, indicating that the assistants following him would take over the rest. The three of them quickly took Landau and left through the door on the other side.
Is this the end of the discussion on principled issues?
Bolu was stunned on the spot.
"What the hell, I haven't used any of the reasons and ideas I've thought of!?"
Is an island without magic materials so undignified? Just give it away?
