Six hundred and ninety-nine, pirates
The golden yacht was sailing on the sea, and there were many dolphins in the sea following the yacht closely, these were all dolphins that had eaten Xia Heguo and were controlled by Tang Ming.
The crew often encountered this situation and it was no longer strange, and some even prepared some fish and threw them into the sea to feed these dolphins.
Tang Ming sat on the deck, admiring the scenery in the sea, and occasionally attached himself to the dolphin and swam under the sea.
It wasn't until I saw a windmill erected in the sea that I realized that Taoyuan Island had arrived.
The yacht stopped at the pier, and Tang Ming stepped off the yacht under the protection of Andy and several security personnel.
"Welcome, owner. Carter, the director of Taoyuan Island, greeted Tang Ming at the pier.
"You're welcome, take me to the castle. Tang Ming said with some impatience.
"Okay, boss, please come with me. Carter made a gesture of please, and led Tang Ming and his party to the edge of the dock, where several cars had been parked, and Tang Ming and the others went up separately.
The roads on Taoyuan Island have been fully repaired, and although they are all cobblestone roads, you don't feel any bumps when you sit in the car.
Tang Ming and the others came to the castle and found that there were many people busy inside.
Many statues have been erected around the castle, and although most of them are ordinary works, they are still full of strong Western classical flavor.
The castle is already full of various oil paintings, all of which Song Qian sent people to buy from major auction houses and galleries.
For the purchase of these sculptures and paintings, Tang Ming paid hundreds of millions of Australian dollars.
After visiting the castle, Tang Ming was very satisfied.
However, he didn't forget Cornelia's explanation, took out his mobile phone, took a video, and sent it to Cornelia.
"It's beautiful!" said Cornelia with a look of amazement on her face.
"Don't worry, our castle will be ready to live soon. Tang Ming smiled, "Next, we should study the matter of equipping the castle with stewards and servants." ”
The area of the castle is too large to be managed without dedicated stewards and servants.
"Let Song Qian recruit it. Cornelia waved her hand and pushed the matter to Song Qian, however, whoever called Song Qian was doing this job, so Tang Ming nodded and agreed.
After visiting the castle, it was dark, and he couldn't go back to Australia today, so Tang Ming decided to stay on the island for one night.
The boss finally came once, and the chef on the island took out his housekeeping skills and sat down for a hearty meal.
The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, most of the dishes cooked by the chef are seafood, and Tang Ming, who eats it, has a great appetite and praises the chef with great satisfaction.
……
In the wooden house, Tang Ming took his mobile phone and watched Cornelia for a while, then looked at his daughter and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, when he was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly awakened by a burst of gunshots.
Immediately after, there was a knock on the door.
"Boss, boss, are you awake......" Andy's shouts were accompanied by a knock on the door.
Tang Ming realized that something was happening, and immediately got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Andy and several security personnel standing outside with loaded guns.
"What's wrong, how can there be gunshots?" Tang Ming asked immediately.
"I don't know, I'll call Carter right away and ask. As Andy spoke, the gunshots rang out intermittently, "Boss, you hide first, let's go out and have a look." ”
"Okay, be careful. Tang Ming said.
Andy left two security guards to protect Tang Ming, and led the others to the place where the gunshots were heard, calling Carter as he went, asking what happened.
Tang Ming hid in the wooden house and waited for more than ten minutes in a distraught manner, when Andy and Carter came back with someone.
"Boss, I'm sorry to frighten you......" Carter hurriedly apologized to Tang Ming.
"Let's not talk about that, what the hell is going on?" Tang Ming interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Boss, a group of pirates just came to the island, and they were discovered by the security personnel on duty, which caused a firefight, and now the pirates have all been caught, you don't have to worry. Carter said.
"Pirates, this sea area is not a prosperous trade route, how can there be pirates?" Tang Ming asked with a frown.
"Boss, I checked just now, this gang should not be professional pirates, but Solomon people on the surrounding islands in disguise. Andy said.
"Pretending to be pirates, are these people crazy?" Tang Ming asked in surprise.
"I guess they're crazy, or they wouldn't pretend to be pirates. Carter added from the side.
Tang Ming was immediately speechless, the Solomon Islands is one of the least developed regions in the world, and it is indeed poor and crazy, and it is not too outrageous to pretend to be a pirate to come to Taoyuan Island to grab a vote.
"Let's go, go see these pirates. Tang Ming said.
"Okay, boss. Carter agreed.
Led by Carter and Andy, Tang Ming came to the docks and met the captured pirates.
There were more than a dozen of them, all of them crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands, their faces frightened, not knowing what awaited them, they were short and dark-skinned, and they did not look like pirates, but fishermen.
Next to it was a bunch of weapons seized from them, all but two worn-out AK47s, the rest were homemade earthen guns.
"Boss, how to deal with them, do you want to ......" Andy made a throat-slitting gesture at Tang Ming.
"No, leave them to the Solomon Islands government. Tang Ming shook his head and said.
"Well, I'll get in touch with the Solomon Islands government right away. Andy said with some disappointment.
Tang Ming looked at his watch, it was only past two o'clock in the morning, yawned, handed over the matter to Andy and Carter, and went back to sleep.
When he woke up in the morning, the pirates had been taken away by the Solomon Islands government, and the Governor of the Solomon Islands called him to apologize and promise that nothing like this would happen again.
Tang Ming was noncommittal about this, the Solomon Islands are too poor, not to mention warships, not even a patrol boat, how can he guarantee that such a thing will not happen again, so everything still depends on himself.
Tang Ming discussed with Andy and decided to increase the number of security personnel on Taoyuan Island to fifty, and also install a radar on the island as soon as possible to monitor the surrounding sea area, so as not to have such a thing happen again, and the pirates will only find out when they reach the island.
At the same time, Tang Ming also warned the people on the island not to mention this matter again, so as not to reach Cornelia's ears.
Cornelia is now newly pregnant, and she is not very stable, in case of an accident because of this matter, these are things that he does not want to see.
Tang Ming stayed on the island for another morning, and then took a boat back to Australia at noon.
When I returned to Australia, it was already evening, and I told Cornelia that he would stay on the Gold Coast at night and return to the ranch tomorrow morning.
