Chapter 22: Ready
(Thank you for the tipping of seems to be 88 ruthless, zhou1zhao, Dakeke, Longmen Fire Phoenix, thank you for your support.) οΌ
Sending the satisfied Paris back to her room, Zhou You received a call from Nikki before she could take a shower. He could only accompany this little girl to chat on the phone, listen to her tell interesting things in school, and then tell her his own story.
It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning, when Mr. and Mrs. Richards returned from the bar, that she hung up the phone and gave Zhou You time to take a shower.
But before Zhou You finished taking a shower, his phone rang again. At first, he thought it was Paris calling, but he didn't pick it up immediately. But when I got up later, I saw that it was Lin Wei calling, and I almost dropped my phone in the bath with joy.
When he came to the United States, Lin Wei was given the task of formally applying to Indonesia's Ministry of Maritime Affairs, the Ministry of Underwater Antiquities, and the military to apply for exploration and salvage in the shallow sea area around Belitung Island.
Indonesia is an island nation and one of the main transit points of the Age of Discovery, with many underwater shipwrecks, most of which are not native Indonesian cultural relics. So in Indonesia, underwater shipwrecks are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Cultural Relics, but there is a special Department of Underwater Antiquities.
This department is actually a money-making department, and whoever salvages cultural relics from Indonesian waters has to collect a 20 percent tax.
Therefore, when Zhouyou's company submitted an application, the Department of Underwater Cultural Relics was the first agency to agree, and signed a detailed cooperation agreement with Zhouyou's Nanyang commercial salvage company, which has a clear tax definition for all kinds of harvests.
The army is the second agency to agree, the turmoil of the year before last, which led to a major earthquake in the Indonesian military, although the Chinese in Southeast Asia do not have the strength of the face, but the economy of Southeast Asia is almost controlled by the Chinese, so in the past two years, the Indonesian military has been almost isolated by all countries.
The president who started the storm has stepped down, as has the main executioner, Prabo. The Indonesian military also carried out a special purge, trying and punishing some military officers who had done things to the Chinese.
While the military was trying to ease relations with the Chinese, Zhouyou's application through the Singapore Navy was quickly approved. Because Singapore is an important node for Chinese contacts in Southeast Asian countries.
However, the application of the maritime department was stuck, because part of the application for travel involved not only the merchant shipping lanes, but also less than a kilometer closer to Belitung Island.
This in turn involves the approval of the environmental protection department, in short, in order to obtain approval from all sides, Lin Wei has been working public relations in Indonesia recently.
Being able to call yourself at one o'clock in the morning means that you finally have a good result. Otherwise, Lin Wei would not have harassed herself at this time.
After connecting the phone, Lin Wei really brought the good news that all the joints had been passed. This means that Zhou You can directly drive a boat into Indonesian waters and carry out salvage operations within a designated area.
However, because this work involves all aspects of the Indonesian government, even if they are themselves, the various departments need to go through complicated contacts to determine each other's terms of reference, and although they can theoretically go to salvage, there are many practical problems.
Not to mention anything else, at least the boss of Zhou You must come forward to entertain people from all walks of life in Indonesia, and systematically sort out some loose and tight policies and regulations to create a relaxed environment for the actual salvage work.
To take the simplest example, traveling around their survey work will certainly affect the natural environment where it is being surveyed. What if the frogman goes to the sea and surveys the seabed, causing the coral to die? What to do with the domestic waste caused by the boat stopping in the local area?
These things are not big, but dozens of things are intricately clustered, each of which involves several different management departments, and how to deal with these relationships will be more difficult to deal with than the salvage itself.
Therefore, in order to set the tone for everything from the beginning, various coordination meetings are indispensable, and it is not so simple to put things into practice without the boss of Zhou You, who personally came forward.
After listening to Lin Wei's report, Zhou You thought for a while and said: "I will buy a plane ticket to go back tomorrow, you stay in Jakarta temporarily, and prepare a reception banquet, send an invitation to all relevant departments, as well as the local government departments of Belitung Island, try to be thoughtful, don't forget any one." β
"What is the standard of banquet preparation? What is the budget? What is the value of a gift for a guest? β
The two of them chatted for more than half an hour about these tedious little things before they agreed one by one. Hanging up the phone, Zhou You secretly thought, the company's expansion seems to be urgent, and it is indeed difficult for her to put everything on Lin Wei.
However, the company's daily affairs will not be too much, and even if it expands, it will only recruit a few more employees. Most of the work can actually be subcontracted out and handed over to a professional company to handle.
Because of this good news, Zhou You has no sleep, and has been working on the plan sent by Lin Wei in front of the computer, perfecting some future plans.
At four o'clock, Zhou You searched for the fastest flight back to Singapore in front of the computer, and as for the plan to accompany GrΓ cia in Spain for a few days, he had to cancel.
There are direct or connecting flights from Singapore to all major cities in the United States, the nearest major city is Miami, but the flight time is the latest.
After checking for a while, Zhou Youyou sorted out the best route, and the flight from Tampa to San Francisco and then from San Francisco back to Singapore was the best.
Actually, the fastest is not this line, if he checks out now, it is the fastest to take a 5 a.m. flight to Los Angeles and then a 10 a.m. flight to Singapore.
However, he can't just pat his ass and walk away now, or Paris, this chick will go crazy.
I always have to send her away and then leave.
Zhou You called to book a plane ticket, and then called Gracia, Spain, to tell her that her plans in Asia were progressing and that she had to return to Asia immediately.
comforted Gracia on the phone, and finally calmed her down.
Before he could get ready for a nap, the phone rang again, this time it was Paris.
Zhou You opened the door, and she was like a wild cat in estrus, pounced on Zhou You's body, and first came to a warm good morning kiss.
Paris was originally a pampered person, and from childhood to adulthood, all kinds of material comforts were available. So for her, it also pays more attention to spiritual enjoyment.
has been suppressed since she was a child, and even dating boys has to be restricted, so she has actually been very depressed. In other boys, she didn't really feel the beauty of love, not to mention, Zhou You also deliberately cheated and used her ability to stimulate her.
In Zhou You's body, she felt the excitement and beauty that she had never experienced before, which kept her awake at night.
After just a few hours of sleep, she woke up early in the morning and couldn't wait to burrow into the room where she was traveling.
Zhou You was not polite, and took out all her strength, on the windowsill facing the rising sun, so that Paris could once again experience the pleasure of being lost again, and indulge in the happiness brought to her by Zhou You.
Although she has no experience, she is a good student, and under the guidance of Zhou You, she also tries her best to bring wonderful enjoyment to Zhou You.
Although the two of them did not cross that line, they no longer had any strange feelings with each other, and their vision for the future made their relationship like wine, looking forward to the day when the fermentation matured and enjoyed a better taste.
"Jakarta, I'll get over as soon as possible. Evan, I can't imagine my life without you. β
"A brief separation will bring us more freshness, and this feeling will be stronger than if we were together every day."
"Is this your trick every time you coax a girl?"
"No, it's just you!"
Paris followed Richard and the others out of the hotel, and Zhou Yu just dropped them off at the hotel door. Paris said a brief goodbye to Zhou You, and did not show any special intimacy in front of his parents.
On the contrary, when Nikki left, she also leaned over and gave Zhou You a kiss goodbye, but she didn't kiss her face, but kissed Zhou You directly on the lips.
But the next moment, she covered her mouth and screamed. "Evan, your beard is too prickly!"
This made everyone around laugh.
Sent away the Hilton family, Zhou You also settled the price of his damaged door frame with the hotel last night, and the Hilton Hotel did not ask for a sky-high price, a luxurious steel door, plus labor, asked for a total of 1,500 US dollars in compensation.
used this money to seduce the love of two proud girls of the sky, and Zhou You felt that it was really cost-effective.
Zhou You called Chakel in Peoria again, and he was almost done with his work on the farm. So, the two of them made an appointment to meet in San Francisco, and they took an afternoon plane from the southernmost part of the United States to the westernmost part of the United States.
After not waiting long at the airport, the tour ushered in Chakel, who was carrying two large suitcases. Although there was a lot of luggage, the two large boxes were as light as nothing in his hands.
In contrast to his burly figure, almost everyone who saw him couldn't help but make way for him. With a height of 1.9 meters and a weight of 100 kilograms, the sense of shock he brings to others is too heavy.
Although Zhou You was only a little shorter than him, he was nearly twenty kilograms thinner than him, and standing beside him, he was like a weak scholar.
The two of them stood face to face, and Zhou You couldn't help but say: "Chuckle, when you arrive in Singapore, the first task I give you is to lose weight." β
"No, boss, I think my weight is pretty standard, and my fat percentage is only eight percent."
"That's because you've eaten too much muscle gainer, and you still have a lot of room for muscle adjustment. If you can reduce your muscles, even a two-percent increase in fat percentage is acceptable. β
He frowned and asked, "Is it to increase my stamina underwater?" β
"No......" Zhou You shook his head and said, "It's to make you stronger!" β
He hugged Zhou You with a smile and said, "Boss, if I can achieve this goal, I am willing to pay more price!" (To be continued.) )
