The next day, Liu Yuexi was reading the newspaper in the living room. When Big Chen and Gu Yun came back, he put down the newspaper and asked, "How is the situation?"
Gu Yun shook his head, "Brother Yuexi, the Jiang family's wharf and warehouse are just a shell as they said. Except for the two old men who were guarding them, everyone else has long since disappeared. I'm sorry, I
I knew in advance that their situation might be very bad, but I never thought that they would be in such a bad situation. It was my carelessness that caused you losses."
Liu Yuexi shook her head, "I can't blame you. You have seen Uncle Su Yi's level. It's good to be able to leave a shell. It seems that the owner of Tianyao Island is indeed extraordinary. He came to the island to take up the post."
In four years, we have actually squeezed out all our competitors. It’s not easy. Old Chen, how’s that Mr. Zhao De, the long-sleeved and good-dancing guy you contacted?”
Datou Chen's situation is obviously much better than that of Gu Yun. "Brother Yue, we have already made arrangements. We will be introduced to the island owner in the afternoon."
Liu Yuexi was surprised, "This person is really very efficient."
In the afternoon, Liu Yuexi dressed in formal clothes and met Mr. Zhao De first. He was indeed a very nice man. He spoke in all directions and could pass through the wind. Liu Yuexi chatted with him for a few words, and Zhao De
I agreed to everything and promised that there would be no problems.
A group of people arrived at the island owner's mansion. There were three floors of stairs, white marble pillars, and a beautiful dome. Originally, the island's administrative agencies were not here, but for their own convenience, the island owner forced all the administrative agencies to move here. At one time, they even
Being scolded by the residents of the island for his luxurious lifestyle, the island owner was very angry and announced a month's rest. The island's affairs were also paralyzed for a week. Everyone had no choice but to invite the owner of Locke Island back. As a result, he also
Earned the famous nickname 'The Luxurious'
Liu Yuexi and others walked inside. The floor was paved with two-color marble and there was a red carpet. It was very majestic. However, there was no trace of happiness on everyone's faces because the person who was about to receive them was not the island owner at all, not even a high-ranking official.
The official at this level is just the section chief of the Port Affairs Office. This big head is very angry. You must know that in terms of official position, Liu Yuexi is on the same level as the owner of Locke Island, or even a little higher. The other party does this because he obviously does not want to give face.
This has caused trouble for the middleman Zhao De. It was not what was agreed before. Liu Yuexi hired him because he did not want to make it official as soon as they met, lest there would be no room for maneuver if things got stuck. Now the island owner has given him a temporary
Singing like this frightened him. He had already spent half of the advance public relations fee. It would be okay if this happened.
There was no displeasure on Liu Yuexi's face. On the contrary, he had a lively chat with the section chief who received him, and the two of them actually had a relationship with each other from the same hometown. The section chief also
He is considered a person who is involved in official circles. He used his little authority to invite Liu Yuexi and the others to have a meal at a nearby tavern. During the period, he also chatted a lot of interesting stories about the island owner and things on the island.
After a pleasant conversation, Zhao De sent off the slightly tipsy section chief. Zhao De asked uneasily, "Lord Liu, something unexpected happened today. Look, how about I try to find a solution for you?"
Liu Yuexi didn't say anything, didn't refuse, wasn't sure, she just smiled and led the people away, leaving Zhao De alone there with a heart that didn't dare to let go.
"Brother Yue, this is so irritating. You are a purple-robed doctor. Why should he, a small island owner, be so arrogant?" Datou Chen had been holding back his anger all afternoon, and when he arrived at the inn, he burst out. Gu Yun also felt that the other party was too arrogant.
.
Liu Yuexi handed them drinks to calm down the fire, "Luo Ke is a businessman and he is worried that we will steal his business. This is normal. The section chief just now has provided a lot of useful information and proved this. It doesn't matter.
As long as it doesn't hinder our real plan, everything else doesn't matter. What I'm worried about is the attitude of Jin Yu, the master behind him, towards me. After all, I am very close to the old earl. Even if Hong Yun deliberately maintains his independence, in the
We have become a third-party force in the Ten Towns, but no one is sure what Jin Yu’s attitude will be and whether he can tolerate us. So this Locke must be stable. Since he is a luxury person, then just go with him.
"
Gu Yun said, "Sir, what are we going to do? Should we bribe him?"
"It's unnecessary. It's not good for people to look down on you. You still have to show off your power. It's not equal from the beginning, and the honeymoon can't be passed. You first have to see what big business there is on the island. What we can do is wood.
Well, we also need to let Locke know our strength, and it is best if he can take the initiative to see us."
After hearing this, Gu Yun nodded and went out to get busy, leaving Liu Yuexi and Datou Chen. Liu Yuexi admired this new partner very much. He talked less and worked quickly. After a few more tests, he could get closer to the core group. This time
He, Big Tou Chen and Fatty came to Tianyao Island, and Knife was testing the powered version of the Bloody Knight in Jade Town. Moreover, he has a special status, so it is not appropriate to show up too much now. A Yong Xiaoqu wants to guard Hongyun Town, and Liuzi Yezi
To take charge of Jade Town, there are really not enough trustworthy brothers. It would be great if the monkey is still alive. Yue Xi sighed with emotion: "Old Chen, where is the fat man?"
"He went to find the captain named Baker."
"Oh, let's go and have a look, too. I really want to meet this Captain Baker."
The Swordfish Bar in the downtown area of Tianyao Island was the meeting place agreed between Baker and the other party. After thinking for a long time, Baker decided to take Cole with him. Although this guy would drink some cat urine and run the train with his mouth full, he was a good sailor.
Best of all, Bell was unsure. The other party's request was very vague, and his own situation was quite difficult. The Good Wind couldn't be launched without a considerable repair fee, and the recruitment of the crew also required an upfront investment.
No matter what, you must first knock down the deposit.
The two walked into the Swordfish Bar, asked the waiter, and walked into a private room. Inside, a fat man was sitting and dozing. It seemed that they had found it. Wow, those eyelashes are so thick, they must have been dyed. The fat man
It seemed that they were awakened by the two of them, and they were in a hurry. The three people who met for the first time were a little embarrassed, "Ah, you are Captain Bell, my name is Wang Quangui, and our boss asked me to come and discuss the matter of going to sea with you." Fatty didn't.
I recognized the student and introduced myself directly.
Bell and Cole sat opposite him: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Bell, and this is the first mate on my ship, Cole."
The fat man looked at Cole and said directly: "How about something to drink first."
"A big glass of gin and martini with some lemon and a lot of ice," Cole blurted out.
The fat man smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Cole is a connoisseur. Let me have a drink of the same kind." Cole is not very thoughtful and is a drunkard. If someone is willing to invite him to drink, he will naturally be very happy. Poor.
If the fat man hadn't been in the way, Bell would have wanted to kick him out. What a joke. The other man was obviously a veteran, so he couldn't help it. He ordered a glass of gin and tonic water to accompany him.
Sure enough, after three drinks, Cole said everything he should not say. The fat man showed a satisfied look and said, "Host, give my friend another pint of dark beer. Mr. Bell, thank you for your candor. I understand the situation."
I understand, how about I go back and talk to my boss and give you an answer tomorrow."
Bell nodded dejectedly. This pig teammate, with such a bad drinking capacity, let people know his trump cards. He had to nod in agreement. Just as he was about to pull Cole away, a loud voice sounded, "You are Mr. Bell, right?"
