"%¥&......**&......" The female clerk made Hong Tao's face hideous and frightened, took a step back, and began to explain with a chirping voice, but unfortunately what she said, Hong Tao couldn't understand a word.

"Young man, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here, it should be two million pesos, not dollars!" At this time, a fat white old man wearing tropical clothes and pants and a small straw hat walked over, and after a brief exchange with the female clerk, he looked at the traveler's check in Hong Tao's hand, and then explained to Hong Tao in English.

"Oh, two million pesos...... $40,000? Thank you very much, my name is Aite Hong, you can call me Aite!" After listening to the old man's words, Hong Tao calmed down his anger. It's really a misunderstanding, just looking at the numbers, not looking at the units, and the difference is more than 50 times all at once. Hong Tao is grateful to the old man, who also looks like a tourist with a camera on his chest.

"Bobble, call me Bobble, I know you, because of your galleon, I'm also from Texas, USA. This is a very good piece of agate, the price, not expensive, but not too cheap. If you like agate, you should go to Corosito in the west, where this agate is produced, and the annual production is only a few tens of kilograms. This complete agate, which weighs at least 4 kilograms, has a very good texture, it is difficult to dig such a large rough stone, and it should be a little more expensive. The old man simply shook hands with Hong Tao, as if he was not very interested in Hong Tao, but he knew agate very well, and he said it was the truth.

"Mr. Bobble, is there a craftsman in the United States who can carve agate?" Hong Tao suddenly asked a very strange question.

"Absolutely. But I think it's already very well carved, and don't you have anything to dislike about it? This pangolin is a mythical beast of the local Taíno people. It's very symbolic, isn't it?" the fat old man made Hong Tao stunned, not knowing what he meant.

"Thank you for your help. If you have time, please come to my ship, I have Chinese food, Brazilian food, and the craftsmanship is good. Hong Tao didn't say what he was asking the craftsman's question, but warmly invited the old man to be a guest.

"Thank you for your kindness, and if nothing happens, I'll take my leave, goodbye. The fat old man has always been lukewarm to Hong Tao, and even Hong Tao's invitation refused.

"Happy travel!" Hong Tao didn't ask him why he didn't care about himself. There are so many people in the world, not necessarily everyone has to like themselves, if they don't like it, they don't like it, there is no need to think about it, as long as they don't go against themselves, then Hong Tao can be treated plainly.

Knowing the final price, the rest will be easy to do, and the female clerk won't bother her, she shouldn't be able to handle such a large transaction. Hong Tao walked directly to the counter. I found a male clerk who looked older, and even pointed to him that he wanted to buy the blue pangolin statue in the middle of the room. The male clerk also knew a few words of English, probably figuring out what Hong Tao meant. So the top leader of the place, the manager or the store manager, was called down from the upper floor.

8 traveler's checks. 50 sheets each, $100 each. I replaced the pangolin back, along with all kinds of pendants, bracelets, and pendants that the three ladies bought. It's all settled together. When Hong Tao really took out several traveler's checks from Lada's backpack and began to sign them one by one, the manager or store manager immediately invited Hong Tao and the three ladies to sit on the innermost sofa. The drinks were brought over, the cigars were handed over, and two old and serious clerks had to be specially called to bring over the good goods that they could get their hands on in the store, one by one, so that Hong Tao and the four of them could look at it, and leave which one they liked.

It doesn't matter if he can't look at it, he has already asked the person in charge of the other two largest agate shops on this street to call, and after reading all the good goods he has here, he doesn't need to move his ass, and the good goods in the other two stores are also brought up, and then picked!

"Lada, is your backpack almost empty? This thing can't be eaten or drunk, can you buy so much?" Hong Tao spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a broken pangolin and didn't feel distressed, but seeing that the three women couldn't grasp it with both hands, he was still very distressed, and couldn't help but remind Lada, who usually knows how to save the most, that means let her come forward and say that she won't buy it, and she can save her face.

"Didn't you say that when we get to Miami, we'll let us choose by ourselves, and it's okay a few days in advance, right? There are still two checks in the bag, don't worry, it's enough!" This time Lada didn't fully understand the leader's intentions, and didn't even raise his head, and still picked those broken stones on the coffee table, for fear that Carol and Lily would be the first to do it if there were good-looking ones.

“…… Well, this coffee is good...... Hahahaha...... Hey, I said, how can you buy something and take a picture? You're not a customer, you're a reporter, right?" Hong Tao directly asked Rada to pout back, and he couldn't be angry, so he had to pick up his cup and take a sip of another specialty here, coffee. What tastes good or not, it's just bitter!

Just as he was looking up, Hong Tao suddenly found a white man in his 30s standing next to the counter opposite, leaning on the counter, his face facing him, and holding a very professional camera in both hands, which was clicking and snapping at himself. Although Hong Tao is not afraid of reporters exposing himself, he has never had a good impression of reporters, except for beautiful female reporters to be precise. Since he didn't like it, let's give them a little trouble, he relayed the discovery to the manager, and when he said it, he had to be angry and pretend that he was very dissatisfied.

The ending was very tragic, although the manager couldn't understand what Hong Tao was saying, but he knew why Hong Tao was angry, so the reporter was thrown out by several clerks with their arms on their hands. Even if Dominica has good law and order, it is still a political system with separation of powers, but in Central and South American countries, Hong Tao has never heard of a reporter daring to come out and brag about X. They are also in North America and Europe, and they can largely ignore the power of money, and out of these two regions, they are also the defeat of money's subordinates every minute.

After having had enough of the score and enjoying the mental pleasure and pain, Hong Tao took the three ladies, followed by four big-shouldered bodyguards with round waists, and went to the nearest bank to the dock, and put all the broken stones in the temporary rented safe, which was considered to have completed a task. Then he asked the bodyguards to help him hail a taxi, and he went straight through the city of Plata, along Highway 5, and headed east.

Just now, when the women were picking out gems, Hong Tao also called Guò Lili's translator and talked to the manager about the attractions in Plata City. According to the manager, there is nothing to do in Plata except for a Spanish castle, a church and a national park, or go to the Gold Coast to bask in the sun and swim. However, the manager also said that with Hong Tao's status, he should not wander around the city of Plata, and should go to a place called Sosua.

Just over 10 kilometres southeast of Plata, this small town of Sosua is home to German and Australian Jews throughout Dominica, and is full of European flair, with stunning beaches, delicious food, and beachfront golf courses, tennis courts, and horse farms that are often visited by wealthier European tourists.

Listening to the advice of others, Hong Tao decided to go to Susua to have a look. He was tired of bathing, surfing, jet skiing, and sunbathing. You can't play these things on a sailboat, what kind of sea water, waves haven't experienced, if you still play these on the shore, it's better not to go ashore. Originally, he didn't like golf and tennis at all, and horseback riding was just like that, and he belonged to Cheng Dù, who was following the fun, but after these months of drifting at sea, he suddenly felt that these land sports were also quite cute, and this was what the standard lacked to think about.

According to the introduction of the taxi driver, the best hotel here is called PiuHotel &Resorts, and Hong Tao doesn't understand what it means, but it's quite big anyway. There is not only one hotel inside, but a complex of three five-star hotels, and Hong Tao is located in one of the hotels called Meiliangai. The furniture here is very distinctive, from the bed to the wardrobe are rattan products, especially the two rattan rocking chairs on the balcony facing the sea, which is very satisfying to Hong Tao, he likes to sit in this kind of dangling chair, not thinking about anything, and even staring at it.

After lunch, head to the tennis court to get active, get a spa and massage, eat some pastries, and go for a slow ride on the beach. After returning home, change your clothes and go to the restaurant for dinner, and after enjoying the unique pork and ham raw meat slices here, you can go to the casino on the fourth floor to fight for it. If you're not a fan of the excitement, head to the hotel's shopping street or sit at one of the open bars on the beach to see if you're having any sexual encounters.

Of course, Hong Tao is resolutely reluctant to go shopping, forget about the encounter, there is still no one around him who has not done it, and he can't chew it out if he is greedy! In the end, only the casino can be left. Rada and Carol are not very interested in gambling, they would rather go shopping, Lily has never been in such a legal casino, out of curiosity, she gives up the temptation to buy clothes, and chooses to go to the casino with Hong Tao. Now that she has been blown up by Hong Tao's sugar-coated cannonballs, for a girl growing up in a slum, jewelry, clothing, food, high-end restaurants, high-end hotels, tennis, horseback riding are too fresh and alluring, and the word lingering is most appropriate for her.
