Chapter 1123: A Poor Country

According to Rada, the main reason why corrugated iron sheets are used as roofs is to protect against tropical hurricanes. Every year from June to October is the rainy season, there are always typhoons that make landfall, the local people can't afford to buy cement roofs, and other materials can't withstand tropical storms, so they can only use this cheapest material. It has an advantage, that is, no matter how far it is blown by the wind, when the wind stops and picks it up, it can be used again even after knocking and chiseling, at least it will not break, and the paint is the same as new, which is also the wisdom of the working people.

This is still the appearance of the city center, the more the car drove to the sea, the more dilapidated the house, and then there were very few corrugated iron huts, directly thatched huts, really thatched, round like a small barn, the walls were made of tree branches, and the outside was pasted with mud. The roof is a hassle-free, and it is covered with the palm leaves that can be seen everywhere here. This thing must have blown away from the hurricane, but I'm not afraid, I don't have to take it again, and the materials are everywhere. At first, Hong Tao thought that this was a holiday cottage specially prepared for foreign tourists, not an original experience, but later found that there were too many, and how many foreign tourists had to live there.

"What are you taking me to see? Just this house, isn't this a hotel?" When Rada parked his car in front of a white three-story building, Hong Tao was really confused, Lada was not so bold to fool himself, but this small building really didn't see anything worth seeing except for the appearance of a bit of European colonial architecture.

"Yes, come up with me, I've bought this place, it's now the headquarters of the De Belivi shipping company, why didn't your slave captain come?" Radha took Hong Tao's arm. Entering this large house, I walked through the vestibule, which was only a few dozen square meters in size. Head upstairs up the wooden staircase.

"She took the Mouse Superman to the sea, I'm not in a hurry. So come over with Singh first. When Hong Tao heard that it was his own territory, he immediately relaxed, and directly stuffed his hand into Lada's skirt.

"Look, over here, the palace of the sun god!" not only did Radha not hide, but also deliberately twisted his waist and led Hong Tao all the way up to the third floor, standing on the balcony facing the sea. In fact, without her fingering, Hong Tao immediately noticed something strange reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun on the distant sea. I can't say that it is full of golden light, but it also feels like a sacred mountain on the sea.

"Hehehe, you can see it from so far away, I knew I would build it higher! How is the effect at night?" Pyramid Island is about 80 kilometers away from Belize City in a straight line, almost 43 nautical miles. If it is flat, it will definitely not be visible, but a pyramid more than 50 meters high, with glass on the surface, and the sunset. There is no shelter along the way, I'm afraid you don't have to stand on the third floor, you just need to go to the beach, if the weather is good. It's visible to the naked eye. It's just that this effect hasn't reached Hong Tao's expectations, you can see it but it's not very clear, you only know that there is something shining on the sea. The full shape of the pyramid is not visible.

"It was better seen at night, it had just been capped for less than two weeks. There have been residents rowing here to watch, and I have set up a few large signs around the island as you have instructed. A large photo of you dressed as an Egyptian elder was printed and shown to the locals. This place is really backward, those photos that are more than 5 meters high, the whole country can't make them, I went to Houston to get them and then shipped them back. "Radha is meticulous in her work, although Hong Tao's hand has been roaming over her, it does not affect her reporting.

"Okay, yes, I won't punish you at night, but change it to a reward! Is there any progress in the shipping company's affairs? Does the government here cooperate?" Hong Tao felt that this first step was quite smooth, and he was in a good mood.

"Melinda has always been in charge of that, she doesn't listen to me, she doesn't talk to me, and she often doesn't go home at night!" Radha began to give Melinda eye medicine, but it was not a direct complaint.

"Well, when she comes back, let's deal with her together, use all of Bellivi's methods on her, and give you anger!" Hong Tao patted Rada's head, Lada's straightforward complaints, Hong Tao welcomes them, can't let them be too united, then he should be unlucky. Saying bad things about people behind your back, Hong Tao doesn't mind, this is human nature, but if you say bad things about others behind your back, you have to pretend to be unintentional, it will be too hateful, people with bad intentions are like this.

Melinda was asked not to pick her up at the airport, she is currently an Italian lawyer, under the pseudonym Sandy, who is employed by the German Bellivi shipping company to negotiate a commercial contract, so it is not suitable for her to be too close to her. She is not the same as Rada and Bellevy, she is a secret move, if she can, don't expose it, and when the time is right, she has to act as her opposite, so that people who really want to oppose her come out.

Because his cars, planes, and speedboats are all on the Mouse Superman, even if the airstrip on Pyramid Island can take off and land propeller planes, Hong Tao can't land on the island to check. Forget about renting a plane or a speedboat, Melinda has already warned herself that the security here is not very good, and it is better to go out less if there is not enough security force after coming, and everything will be said after the arrival of the Mouse Superman.

There is nothing to do, and he can't go out to hang out, Hong Tao can only sit in this small building and play with Singh and Lada to make villains, but he can't let them really get pregnant, and he can't do without them at present, so let's wait.

A week later, Hong Tao was sitting on the balcony on the third floor with Rada in hand-to-hand combat, when suddenly the mobile phone on the table rang, and the caller ID was actually the satellite phone number on the Mouse Superman.

"Hey, where have you been?"

"I'm watching a good show, there is a young man with a very good figure and a fair-skinned white-haired woman, tossing and turning on the balcony of a small building for more than 20 minutes and it has not subsided, I want to ask, do you still have the energy to accompany me at night? I am in a hurry day and night, and I want to return to you a day earlier!" Bellivi was about to squeeze out the honey in his voice on the phone, and a layer of goosebumps immediately appeared on Hong Tao's body when he heard it.

"Don't talk nonsense, you dare to peek at me! How long will it take to get to the port? I'll wait for you at the dock, I've been suffocated for the past few days, and I can't go anywhere!" Hong Tao put his hand on the pergola and looked at the sea, but saw nothing. The pyramid dozens of nautical miles away is large and reflective, but the Mouse Superman is not so obvious, and Bailivi must have used a high-powered telescope, this woman is perverted, and she is interested in watching others fight hand-to-hand.

"2 hours guaranteed, I'll speed up now! You can save some effort, don't give it all to that goblin." Bellevi didn't have a crush on Rada either, and in her eyes, Rada was a true goblin.

Belize City is located at a very low altitude of about 7 or 8 meters above sea level, and from a distance, the sea seems to be dangling over the city, and the ships entering the port seem to be crushed. When Hong Tao and Lada arrived at the port area, the dock was already crowded with people of all colors, all looking at the big guy in the distance who was bells and whistles, strange looking, saying that the cargo ship was not like a cargo ship, and that the passenger ship was not like a passenger ship, with the help of a tugboat, slowly approaching the dock.

Most of the people here are dark-skinned, but the degree of blackness varies, some are very light, some are darker. It is not the same as the Indo-European race in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, and Cuba, and the mixed race here tends to be more like the Indo-African half-race. This made Hong Tao very distressed, he didn't like this type of people, Singh's kind of women are also a minority in India, and more Indians and Africans are ugly. After looking at the dock for a long time, searching almost all the female faces in the crowd, Hong Tao first went to confidence in his future believers, and there was no one with more than 80 points, and finally found a pleasing one, and after a closer look, he was still a foreign tourist with a camera hanging on his chest.

At this time, the infrastructure in Belize was too simple, so the tourism industry was not very developed, and except for some Mexicans and a small number of Americans, there were few European tourists. The surrounding countries are similar to its scenery, and they are not rich, so they can't afford to come here to spend money in vain, and travel by themselves at the doorstep.

In fact, the natural conditions here are really good, the sea water is clear and turquoise, the beach is delicate and snow-white, those are not all sand, but coral fragments, which belong to the relatively high-quality sandy beach, even near the port area, there is no pollution to see. The main reason why there are so few foreign tourists is that the infrastructure is so poor, there are no comfortable hotels, there are no luxury resorts, even the electricity supply is intermittent, not to mention the medical conditions. For tourists who come to the tropics, their own safety comes first, and the adventurous rich people are in the minority, and two hundred and fifty people like Hong Tao don't want to come to the airport a second time, let alone others.

"Melinda is here!" As Hong Tao was about to make his way through the crowd to the boat, Rada tugged at his arm and snorted at him.

"Who is the fat man in the car?" Hong Tao turned his head and saw two old-fashioned Mercedes-Benz convertible cars driving along the broken road of the port, the first one was Melinda, and next to her sat a big brown-skinned fat man dressed in fancy clothes.

"The mayor here, Richard Brown, is a key figure in the Blue Party. Rada briefly introduced the big fat man to Hong Tao, and it was too late to go into more detail, because the convertible stopped in front of Hong Tao as soon as he braked. (To be continued......)
