Chapter 1114: I Want to Become a God
"Madame, it is wonderful to see you again, life at sea is hard, but it does not hide your grace at all, as if the sun and the sea breeze were not against you. "The first person to be welcomed was not Hong Tao, but Bailivi, no wonder Bailiwei said that Levin is a gentleman, he is indeed more pretending, his mouth is sweet, and he talks a set of.
"Please address Lady or Miss, Miss Pello is single now...... And you already have a boyfriend, you can save it!" Hong Tao was immediately unhappy when he saw Levin's broken mouth and kissing Belivi's hand.
"Oh, yes, with your beauty and intelligence, you should really reconsider your future life, this big rat is not a good match for you. Levin instantly understood what Hong Tao meant, not only did he not let go, but he became more enthusiastic.
"Hey, hey, hey...... I heard that the Queen of England will personally give Bellevy a medal, and maybe I will have an additional son who can inherit the title of earl, and when you see my son in the future, do you have to salute?" Hong Tao immediately fought back, and it had become his habit to quarrel with Levin, and this old man was also good at this.
"You've violated the law again, the big ball on its head must be filled with something that doesn't quite match the identity of this ship, right? This is the naval base of the Third Fleet, aren't you afraid of being detained by the U.S. Navy?"
"If you are allowed to install a transponder on my roof, I am not allowed to install a larger antenna on the roof of the ship? What if I crash your Odyssey one day?" Hong Tao did not admit a word about Levin's accusations. The military ports are all in. It means that no one cares about this thing, a broken radar from 2 or 30 years ago. I don't think there's a place to put it for the U.S. Navy.
"It's not mine, it's ours!, let's go, go see what I give to Bellivi...... The gift prepared by the young lady, to be honest, Aite is indeed a guy who is easy to please women. Others give flowers and cars, but the things he gives to girls are more unique. Levin praised Hong Tao rarely, made a gesture of please, and asked Bailivi to get into the car first.
What was Levin's gift? To be exact, it was the gift he prepared for Hong Tao, and it was very big. It's floating in the harbor. That's right, it's a boat! Not a sailboat, not a yacht, but three gray warships. It seems that the tonnage is not small, two of them are about 10,000 tons, and the other is smaller, with 4 or 5,000 tons.
"Wow...... Honey, is this my fleet?" if any other woman had seen these three old-looking ships, she would probably not even be interested in taking a second look. But Bellevi was different, she involuntarily jumped on the shore a few times, forgetting even the noble shelf, and pulling Hong Tao's arm like a little girl.
"This is just the first batch. I asked Amundsen and he said that Belizean ports could not accommodate ships of too large tonnage, and that about 10,000 tons was the most suitable. The tonnage is too large to exceed the local loading capacity and is not economical. It just so happened that Mr. Levin got a message. The Third Fleet has several obsolete supply ships to be decommissioned, and we have Mr. Amundsen slightly retrofit them. It's a good cargo ship. "Hong Tao doesn't know much about such things as sea ships, anyway, Amundsen said that it can be used, that is, it can be used. Moreover, there are quite a few of these Navy decommissioned supply ships, these three are only the first batch, and there are three more in the San Diego Military Port, which are already undergoing refit work, and they will be completed in about a month.
"Can I go up and have a look? Mr. Levin?" Belivi's mood was like that of Hong Tao when he first bought his own sailboat.
"Please, you are the captain, these ships are now yours in principle, and they are actually yours after refitting. Levin made a gesture of please, and Bailivi trotted up the gangway.
"There's nothing but sugar cane, cocoa, tobacco, and timber, why are you interested in it?" Neither Levin nor Hong Tao accompanied Bailivi on the ship, and they were equally uninterested in the steel rags, and when there were only two people left on the dock, Levin began to spy on Hong Tao's secrets again.
"It's just a small gift for a woman, she likes shipping companies, so let's open one! But I don't know anything about this industry, the competition in the United States is too strong, but in Belize it's a big company, even if you lose money, it won't be too hard, maybe she will be bored after two years, I don't want my woman to be sad in the office all day. "Hong Tao will definitely not tell Levin his true intentions, at least not for now, it is most appropriate to use Bailivi as a cover, and the whole world knows that he is a combination of a playboy and a loser.
"If you have enough capital, it is better to cooperate with Boeing on some outsourcing projects, and build a factory here to produce some Boeing gadgets, although the return on investment is a bit slow, but it is not without benefits to you. The drama finally came, and Hong Tao began to understand the general intentions of Levin and those behind him. They want to get closer to themselves step by step, and then fool themselves into investing in industry in the United States, and do as much as possible, even if they give themselves some sweetness first. In this way, he is tantamount to firmly tying himself to the United States, and at the same time, he has grasped his own weakness, and at that time he has only one choice, which is to join their group, become a part of them, and advance and retreat together!
To say that this result is not bad, Levin's eating appearance is already very gentle, they just want to win over and integrate Hong Tao, a partner who can make money and make money, and they don't plan to eat themselves in one bite, they can't say how benevolent and righteous they are, and they can be regarded as reluctantly acceptable to Hong Tao.
"It's okay to take a stake, it's too tiring to open a factory, I'm going to retire, and when Amundsen builds my island, I'll go on vacation, I've been very tired all these years. How about I go and be a god like a sun god? Stand at the top of the pyramid and pray to the sun in the place of my devotees, and then the light of God will shine on them. "Why do you have to force yourself, Hong Tao doesn't want to be angry with domestic bureaucrats, let alone be a little brother to foreign capitalists, he has his new pursuits, he wants to become a god.
“…… An organization like Mormon?" Levin was an accurate metaphor.
"I don't know, try it first, I'm tired of mortals, if God is fun, why not try it?" Hong Tao was noncommittal.
"It's not possible in the United States, it's not possible in Canada, where do you go to find believers?...... God, are you playing against the Belizeans?" Levin was just amused by Hong Tao's whimsical idea, Mormonism didn't appear out of nowhere, and it wouldn't be valid now, and governments around the world are very sensitive to religion, and religion is, in a sense, government. However, he quickly remembered what Hong Tao had done recently, and came up with an answer that surprised him.
"Hey, hey, hey...... In a sense, you are still my guide, and when I become a god, how about making you the high priest?" Hong Tao didn't expect what he did to hide from this old spy, and even if he won by covering up his true thoughts for some unexpected reason, it was best to make Levin and them not too disgusted with their own approach, and how long they could fool around, the longer they could fool, the better it would be for themselves.
"Aren't you an atheist?" Levin's train of thought was a little misguided by Hong Tao, this topic was too much for him to expect, I'm afraid he had never thought about this problem, let alone a plan to use.
"People can be transformed, and you should be familiar with the things I did at the Burj Al Arab. At that moment, I suddenly realized that I was still a small mortal, I was unwilling, instead of being a mortal in the big world, it was better to be a god in my own small world. From now on, the outside world has nothing to do with me, I'm retired, I'm going to become a god. Maybe I can really use the pyramid to connect with highly intelligent beings beyond the earth, and then ask them to teach me a few tricks of divine power to dominate the earth! How about it, isn't my plan great?" Hong Tao deliberately said the frustration he suffered, so that Levin could believe in himself even more, since Bill could see that he was a person who had lost faith, there was no reason why Levin couldn't see it, maybe he would have seen it a long time ago, but he just didn't tell himself.
"Then, what about your company? You don't want it!" Levin was really led by Hong Tao's thinking, if it were someone else, he wouldn't believe these, but Hong Tao is no one else, he is a mouse superman, or a very two-hundred-and-five-year-old mouse superman, and it is not the first time that he has a whim.
This big rat has indeed performed miracles in some areas. The more successful people are, the more likely they are to be cranky, because their thinking patterns are beyond the vast majority of ordinary people, and it is easy to feel that there is no one in this world who can understand their own kind, so they begin to pursue something higher spiritually and find new beliefs. This kind of thing has happened more than once in American history, and many rich people have this kind of thinking, and it is not surprising that Hong Tao has it.
"For the time being, I still need to be worshipped, God also needs to be worshipped, you can't let me be a missionary, I still have to use this money to recruit believers! So not only can't I throw it away, but I also work hard to make money, I have decided to build a bigger pyramid in Belize first, that is my temple, it will shine day and night, shining on my divine domain!" Hong Tao said more and more into the state, a minute ago it was just an idea, and now it is directly in the implementation stage. (To be continued......)
