Chapter 272: The Most Suitable Island (Part I)
"Royal Eight?"
When Lin Dong heard this island, he immediately frowned, and glanced at Joma with a strange expression? Matica.
Royal No. 8 Island, as the "first island owner" in the Chinese circle, Lin Dong has certainly heard of it, especially recently, and it can be said that it is thunderous.
The island is located in the Sulu Sea in the west of Mindanao in the south of the Philippines, and some further west is Palawan Island in the southwest of the Philippines, and further west of this Palawan Island is the Nansha Islands of Huaxia State, which can be said to be only separated by a narrow Palawan Island.
To the southwest of the island are Boon Lai and Malaysia, and to the south, Indonesia.
The geographical location of the island is quite special, although it is nominally the territory of the Philippines, but because it is sandwiched between several countries and powers, and there is a considerable distance between various countries and forces, it can actually be said to be a place where there are three things.
Because of its location, it's the exclusive domain of pirates!
There have always been pirates in Southeast Asia, especially after the Strait of Malacca became one of the most important international waterways in the world.
There are three countries that jointly manage the Strait of Malacca, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, all of which belong to the kind of limited military strength, and there are some problems between international cooperation, and other countries and forces are not allowed to intervene, which has led to piracy in Southeast Asia rampant at sea, and the problem of piracy has not been completely solved until now.
Most of these pirates are from Southeast Asia and some nearby countries, and the composition is also very complex, there are the earliest fishermen who became pirates because of livelihood problems, there are also pirate gangs composed of veterans, and even rumored to be pirates played by government troops of several nearby countries, of course, the least is that the ancestors have relied on this line of food for generations, at the same time. There are also terrorists involved.
These pirates can be said to be "elusive" existences, all of them have their bases or scatter into the city after grabbing a vote, and one of them is a fairly powerful pirate based on this Royal Eight.
Two years ago, because of a serious hijacking incident, the Philippine authorities had to invest a lot of troops, energy, and financial resources, and gave a considerable part of the politically related conditions, and united with the nearby American Navy and the Japanese Self-Defense Fleet to carry out an encirclement and suppression of the pirates on the Royal No. 8 Island, and finally recovered the Royal No. 8 Island.
It was not too difficult to recover the Royal Eight Island, but the subsequent management of the island made the island's municipal authorities suffer. Even the Philippine authorities are in dire straits.
The Philippine authorities have sent a lot of troops to station on the island, but they also want to invite some people to develop it, but the distance between the island and the important cities is really a bit far, and it is quite difficult to carry out the development.
And, there's one biggest problem. That's the return of the pirates!
In that encirclement and suppression, although many pirates were exterminated, they did not wipe out all the pirates, even if they were wiped out. There must be other pirates eyeing the island. A large proportion of these returning pirates are not part of the island's original pirates.
In the past two years, although the resurgence of pirates has not reoccupied the island, it has also caused the Philippine authorities to suffer a lot. The sneak attack that came once at both ends in the past three days really made the Philippines tired to deal with.
It's just that this cost a lot of the island that was finally recovered. The authorities certainly don't want to let it out so simply. However, if it is said that the authorities can organize another plan to encircle and suppress pirates, it will be very difficult, not to mention the cost, even if they are organized, it is really not necessary to find the base of these small groups of attacking pirates.
Besides, if the authorities really give up the island to the pirates, it will be a shame!
Some time ago, the Martica family submitted a bill, the general content of which is to lease the Royal Eight as a private island for a term of 30 years of ownership, which will not only solve the island's problems, but also increase the income of the authorities. Or to put it more bluntly, income is not important, what is important is to reduce the cost of sending and stationing troops on the Royal Eight Island.
The authorities passed the bill, and the Royal Eight also appeared on the list of intermediaries who bought and sold on the major islands, but for more than half a year, there was no news, and there was hardly even a single person who inquired. Obviously, no one thinks that an island that is frequently attacked by pirates can be regarded as a private island.
Of course, the authorities are not stupid enough to think that anyone would buy such an island, in fact, this bill can be said to be specially prepared for those pirate gangs. Yes, the authorities just thought that these pirate gangs would be able to buy the Royal Eight through or disguise themselves as other identities, and then the authorities would turn a blind eye and just treat it as if it had been bought by the developer or some big tyrant.
It's just that these pirates don't know if they don't understand what the authorities mean, or if they are worried about what traps and plots the authorities have set up, and they don't even think about regaining the island by buying it.
Anyway, the pirates have no intention of buying it, and anyway, no one has bought this Royal Eight so far.
For such an island, Qiao Ma now actually said that he would sell it to Wang Leshan, how could Lin Dong not be surprised!
"Joma, you should know the reason why this Royal Eight has not been cared for for more than two years." Lin Dong said helplessly: "You let me sell it to Wang Leshan now, aren't you embarrassing me?" ”
Joma spat out a puff of cigarette, sneered, and said, "It's because Royal Eight is difficult to sell, that's why I'm looking for you, and it's because it's hard to sell, so I say that as long as this matter is done, everything today will be written off." It's the only way to get me to swallow this breath today, anyway, you can figure it out for yourself. Otherwise, I can't control that much, and I don't know what will happen on Neverland today! ”
When Lin Dong heard this, he glanced at Joma fixedly.
He knew that this Qiao Ma would not really be as desperate as he said to retaliate against Wang Leshan, because the price would be too great, so big that Qiao Ma would not dare to pay for this one.
He also knew that the proposal on the sale of the Royal Eighth Island was proposed by the Martica family, or it was the idea that Joma gave to the family, and now the bill has been passed, but there has been no news about the sale, which is not a good thing for the Martika family.
If Joma is crazy about this and wants to take the opportunity to sell the island, Lin Dong understands. At the same time, his heart is a mirror, and he knows very well that this Qiao Ma is actually the idea of asking Wang Leshan to pay for "medical expenses".
Because he knew very well, and Joma also knew very well, no one could really dare to develop on that Royal Eight Island, and even if they did, they would definitely sit idle there, and no one would think that they could survive the attacks of those pirates.
This buying island, to put it bluntly, is really just buying an island, and there is no use for eggs.
After figuring out this Qiao Ma's thoughts, Lin Dong was also a little helpless about the "medical expenses" that Qiao Ma opened his mouth widely. But he is also more or less really afraid that this Joma dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, even if he won't do it on Neverland, it is estimated that he will definitely do it when Wang Leshan and the others leave.
After thinking about it, Lin Dong said, "Joma, don't be rash first. In this way, I agreed to this matter, and I will definitely do everything I can to get that person to buy it, and as for the final result, I will not pack the ticket. ”
When Qiao Ma heard this, he laughed and said, "I believe that if you come out, you will definitely succeed, not to mention, how can that yellow-skinned boy be so arrogant, how could he put a group of pirates in his eyes!" ”
Lin Dong smiled bitterly and walked out of the infirmary. He should get this Qiaoma, it is just a delaying measure, the matter of the Royal No. 8 will definitely be mentioned to Wang Leshan, if Wang Leshan doesn't buy it, he can only give Wang Leshan a reminder and let him leave early. And Wang Leshan's purchase of the island can only be stopped here. Money can not be earned, but neither end can be offended.
If this Wang Leshan ignores his reminder and wants to continue to stay on this island, or even disdain Joma, then the next thing is really none of his business.
Of course, if Lin Dong knew that Qiao Ma was so eager to sell the Royal No. 8 to Wang Leshan and had another ulterior purpose, he probably wouldn't agree to sit down as a lobbyist.
Lin Dong found Wang Leshan not far from the gate of the castle on the sea, and also saw Wang Leshan walking with his wife and other women, and he was smiling, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. secretly thought, this young man was really calm, and it was not the same thing to beat Joma at all.
"Husband, you're here."
Seeing Lin Dong coming, Jiang Lingling immediately ran over quickly, and said hurriedly: "That Qiao Ma is really too much, she has a conflict with Mr. Wang, and she is ......."
Lin Dong stopped her words without waiting for Jiang Lingling to finish speaking, he also knew the cause of the incident from Jenny, and he was already familiar with Joma's swaggering behavior, but he didn't expect to capsize here.
Walking straight towards Wang Leshan, Lin Dong squeezed out some smiles on his face and said, "Mr. Wang, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Wang Leshan saw Lin Dong's expression, how could he not guess that he already knew the conflict between Najoma and himself, as for what Lin Dong was looking for himself, Wang Leshan didn't care, so he nodded, and at the same time, he also signaled Bai Lanyu, who was about to speak, not to worry, and followed Lin Dong to the side.
"Mr. Wang, I have found an island that meets your requirements very well." (To be continued.) )
