In the bathroom of Yard No. 1, Lu Ming was brushing his teeth and washing his face. He could see in the mirror that he looked very energetic.
It really makes me feel refreshed. If I can do this every day, I will probably be much more efficient in doing things and my mind will feel refreshed.
Unfortunately, it is impossible. He can't really collect a whole company of beauties. Shaking his head, Lu Ming took the hot towel from Bai Narcissus and wiped his face.
Since I came to the bathroom by myself, others didn't dare to come for the time being. Only Bai Narcissus followed me in to serve me.
The tap water, snow-white ceramic basin, etc. in the bathroom are basically the same as in the previous life.
There is a shower and a bathtub in the inner room, but you can't see what's inside because of the blue frosted glass.
"Master, is Xiying serving you well?" Bai Shuixian asked in a low voice, also looking at Lu Ming's expression.
As the head consort of Courtyard No. 1, she seemed to have an innate talent and quickly got into the role.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's good."
Bai Narcissus breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was in a competitive relationship with Courtyard No. 2.
Lu Ming wiped his face, recalling the little concubine's flattered expression when he conquered her, as if every charge by him was a great gift and unimaginable happiness to her. The obedience and fawning that treated him as if he were the sky, and then the crying and chirping with her legs kicking, and then the collapse like flower mud, brought him a completely different feeling of comfort.
After taking a look at Bai Shuixian, who was wearing elegant white satin clothes and looked graceful, Lu Ming was about to speak when he suddenly frowned slightly and said, "I'll go to your room to rest in a while."
Bai Shuixian understood immediately. Although she didn't know the specific situation, the master seemed to be in seclusion often. She said softly, "Yes, Master, rest assured. No one will disturb you. I will also take care of the baby and prepare meals for her when she wakes up."
Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction: "Okay!"
…
In the mud house on Antigua Emerald Island, Schmidt looked at Lu Ming in surprise, "You want to sell Emerald Island to me?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, but the price has to be reasonable. We have been operating Emerald Island for more than three years. If we want to exit, we must get the right chips."
"You want to quit?" Schmidt slowly sat up straight. After being surprised by the sudden news, he calmed down.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes." He handed over a pile of information, "Take a look. The annual rent is actually very small and can be ignored, but if we take a small commission from the trade volume, what do you think of the monthly income?"
Schmidt opened the book and seemed calm, but there was a strange look in his eyes. It was obvious that he had not expected that the monthly trade volume of Emerald Island was such a huge number. Therefore, even a very small percentage of the commission was shocking.
"Last month, the revenue was over 700,000. This month, judging by the increase, it is estimated to exceed 1 million." Lu Ming smiled, "This is a goose that lays golden eggs. I don't need to explain it to you anymore. You will definitely understand it."
Schmidt's eyes left the account book, "Then why did you sell it?" He suddenly said: "You represent the Principality of Montenegro and have the official background of the Principality of Montenegro. You can't hide this from me!" His eyes were sharp, staring at Lu Ming's expression.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "So, sometimes I can't make the decision, the higher-ups' ideas..."
"I need to think about it!" Schmidt leaned back in his chair.
Lu Ming said: "One hundred million yuan, and you can pay fifty million first, and the remaining fifty million can be paid in installments, without interest, divided into fifty installments, one million per month, which means that you only need fifty million to actually get the island, and the monthly income from the island can offset the installments!"
"I'll definitely consider that!" Schmidt smiled.
Lu Ming nodded and said helplessly: "Okay!"
…
In the afternoon, Governor Chachai of Montenegro suddenly issued a statement condemning Mayor Basong of Ferman for attempting to launch a military coup and murdering his relatives.
Governor Chachai announced the removal of General Roque, the state's national army commander-in-chief, from all his posts and appointed General Nuhachai, chief of the National Army Joint Chiefs of Staff, as the new national army commander-in-chief. He imposed martial law in Antigua State and cleared out the insurgents.
…
In the city of Ferman, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Military armored vehicles drove into the city, but ordinary citizens could not tell which side's troops entered the city, let alone what their stance was. They could only try to stay at home and not go out on the streets to avoid being affected.
On the top floor of the Santolo Hotel in Zhongzhou City, Lu Ming received a call from Schmidt.
"It seems that I don't need to investigate further!" There was a hint of victory in Schmidt's laughter.
He probably felt that Li Phraya underestimated him. How could he sign the agreement so hastily? He would not even give him a verbal agreement.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Well, I originally thought that a civil war would break out soon, but now it seems that the situation is still stable, so I am not in a hurry to sell it."
Schmidt was visibly startled, probably because he had come here to bargain.
Governor Chatchai, who had been supported by the Principality of Montenegro for a long time, finally proved to be useless. It was obvious that the Principality of Montenegro disapproved of his exile, but they could not do anything about it. At the same time, it also disrupted many deployments of the Principality of Montenegro.
The Principality of Montenegro should want to withdraw completely from Antigua. I heard that in Ferman, many Central Asian businessmen are waiting for the Principality of Montenegro to send a plane to pick them up for evacuation. It seems that the Principality of Montenegro still has feelings for the people of Central Asia.
"Well, I can't force you!" Schmidt smiled. "Then I won't bother you anymore. Mr. Phraya should be very busy now, coordinating the evacuation of overseas Chinese, right?" He made it clear with his words that he knew everything clearly, so you shouldn't bluff. If you don't sell now, it won't be long before your Mitai partners will use the power of the mob to drive you out.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, let's get in touch later." Then he hung up the phone.
Next to him was Lu Ming's old friend, Chen Huanxing, the president of the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce. His granddaughter had once been Erika's childhood friend and helped her through the loneliest period of her time at school here.
Chen Huanxing actually had an illusion that the later Lee Phraya and the original Commissioner Zhang were the same person.
Their personalities, ways of doing things, etc. are so similar that one gradually feels as if Commissioner Zhang has never left, but has just become Lee Phraya.
It's a weird feeling, but it's real.
At this time, Chen Huanxing said: "The news has been spread, we are ready to flee."
Lu Ming nodded: "Didn't Mayor Basong call you?" Fleeing and the like were certainly not something that would confuse Schmidt. In this great change, Schmidt was not a participant. They were just planning to deal with him along the way.
"No." Chen Huanxing frowned. "If all the merchants from Central China leave, Antigua's economy will be hit hard. Basong will know this."
Lu Ming smiled: "So be patient and wait a little longer, but evacuate the first group of people to the airport."
"Okay!" Chen Huanxing agreed.
