Chapter 21: A Chance Encounter with Miller
As soon as the words of this Chinese fat sailor came out, Li Moyang and Chen Guoqing were happy at the same time, on the vast sea in a foreign country, they could hear an authentic Tianjin Wei dialect, it felt too kind, and it was between life and death, and it was impossible to express the feeling of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.
"We have nothing to do, we just want to hear what Tianjin Wei said, in vain, it's really a coincidence, I met you, fate wow!" got on the lifeboat, Li Moyang temporarily relaxed his mood and chatted with the fat sailor.
The fat sailor is a chatter, or maybe he ran into a Chinese person, and he kept chattering when he opened his mouth, Li Moyang didn't have to design a language trap at all, and the fat man told everything he knew.
It is a Panamanian international 10,000-ton freighter, loaded with construction supplies, bound for an island where it is preparing to build a world-class sea resort.
When Li Moyang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he had a hunch, but he couldn't say it at this time, let's see and understand.
After a while, the lifeboat caught up with the freighter, the small lifeboat sailed at the same speed next to the giant ship, like a small ant, there was a crane arm above the freighter and slowly lowered, the steel cable continued to be released downward, and the bottom was two hooks, and the two sailors skillfully put the hook into the groove at the bow and tail of the boat, and pointed up with a thumbs up, and the fat Chinese sailor used the walkie-talkie to communicate a few words.
The steel rope slowly contracted upward on the tower boom and rolled up, and the lifeboat was hoisted onto the main deck of the freighter along with the five passengers inside.
The fat Chinese sailor took Li Moyang and Chen Guoqing to the wheelhouse, and as soon as they entered the wheelhouse, a Chinese stood up and stared at Li Moyang fixedly, and it took a long time before he exclaimed: "Oh, mom, I actually met you here." ”
Li Moyang smiled, relying on Miller, one of the Three Musketeers of New York, Li Moyang's partner Miller, Li Moyang suddenly understood where the freighter was going and why Miller was on board.
The captain was a white-bearded old man, he just smiled, ignoring Miller's fuss, and besides, he didn't understand Huaxia either.
Li Moyang signaled that this was not the place to speak, and Miller knew it and immediately led Li Moyang out of the cab.
Li Moyang thanked the captain when he left, using a pure New York accent, and the white captain smiled and nodded, rescuing the victims who fell into the water, this is an international practice, justsoso.
Li Moyang also left calmly, and the three of them came to Miller's room.
The rooms on a freighter are much more spacious than those of warships and other ships, and they can be said to be quite luxurious.
Miller found two sets of clothes from his closet, Li Moyang and Chen Guoqing entered the bathroom on one side, washed up briefly, changed into clean clothes, and then returned to the main room and officially entered the conversation.
Li Moyang asked: "Miller, don't talk yet, let me guess why you are on this freighter, the destination of this freighter." ”
Miller smiled and said nothing, Li Moyang could definitely guess it, but the mediocre-looking man next to him, is there something he can't know?
Li Moyang smiled and pointed at Chen Guoqing: "Our buddy, a lifelong friendship!" It's similar to our New York Three Musketeers. ”
Miller was relieved at this time, and Li Moyang continued: "You are on this freighter because you are responsible for escorting a batch of important materials, which will be used on the reef outside the dark sand of Zengmu, and our international island resort is about to be completed." ”
Miller gave a thumbs up: "The boss is the boss, the existence of the, exactly right, and I want to tell you, this is the last batch of goods, as long as it is unloaded on the island and simply assembled, so to speak, our South China Sea sea resort island can officially open to welcome guests!" How's it going, boss, I'm very efficient, right? ”
This time it was Li Moyang's turn to be taken aback: "So fast, no matter what I think, it will take three years and five years." ”
Miller said proudly: "That's still my credit, I thought of a way, that Clark, it's much more comfortable, he is responsible for international investment promotion and establishment of the company, damn, we Chinese people are tired of life." ”
Li Moyang said with a smile: "The division of labor is different, who made Clark white, people in Europe and the United States and other countries recognize that face, everything is going well, right?" ”
"It's been smooth sailing, and I've got great good news to tell you about it later, and I'll be surprised to keep it secret for now." Miller was very proud.
"I'm looking forward to it! Let's start with the construction of the island. ”
"Well, that piece of dark sand, or reef, Clark and I specially found a top designer to investigate, the area is two square kilometers, not big, there is no point in development, but I suddenly thought of a way, and immediately turned this dark sand into twenty square kilometers, guess what?"
"I can't guess, don't sell it, hurry up, I can't see it, you, a Taiwanese, will still talk about storytelling, and the little hook is very tempting."
"Okay, you're really boring, you can't be a joker, I don't have the desire to continue!" Miller dissatisfied.
But even so, he still explained his method in detail, and Li Moyang couldn't help but be amazed, he was too smart.
It turned out that Miller had investigated and found that this dark sand had become a crescent moon, dotted with a harbor, and these dark sands appeared from time to time to the sea, and it was impossible to build houses on it.
Miller adopted two methods, one was to purchase a large number of scrapped freighters directly from Singapore, about 30 of them, and use the method of shallow landing to run these scrapped freighters aground on these dark sands.
Each freighter is at least an empty shell of 10,000 tons, with the help of tugboats, or its own last power, after rushing into the dark sand, absolutely firmly formed a huge base.
There are also several huge ships that sit directly between the dark sand, and even if they sink to the bottom of the sea, they must be more than ten meters above the sea surface, which also forms a stable base.
More than 30 huge ships took this half-moon dark sand for a few days, forming a circular island that was more than ten meters above the sea and was constantly connected.
When the island was formed, Miller thought of a way, those cargo ships exposed to the water cabins can be directly converted into hotel cabins, or even large entertainment spaces such as casinos, which is just one aspect of island tourism and vacation accommodation.
In order to achieve international standards, there must be luxury villas, and Miller's approach was born, which is all about how to build luxury villas quickly.
He came up with custom villas. After searching all over the world, he finally found a company specializing in custom-made villas, and placed an order for forty luxury villas in one go.
These villas are not the kind of villas built brick by brick, but light steel villas that are quickly assembled, transported to the island, and only need to be assembled simply, and all that remains is a sturdy base and luxurious interiors.
Miller Quacqua talked for a long time, and suddenly pointed out the window, "Boss, look, our island is in front of you!" Beautiful, perfect design, I'm a genius! ”
