Cheng Liping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, when he first occupied Hongdao, he gave Professor Fang's team a sum of money to survey the geology around Hongdao. For half a year, there has been no response, why did it suddenly appear at this time. Cheng Liping hesitantly answered the phone, and Professor Fang's anxious voice was immediately heard: "Miss Zheng, is Mr. Cheng here?" The stakes are high, and 100,000 are urgent! ”

Cheng Liping heard him say so urgently, and immediately responded: "Professor Fang, hello, I'm Cheng Liping. ”

Professor Fang said: "Ah, it's Mr. Cheng. Mr. Cheng, is it convenient for you, I have to see you immediately. ”

Before Cheng Liping could answer, he added: "Really, 100,000 urgent!" ”

Cheng Liping nodded and said, "Then you come to Maria's Western Restaurant, I'll book dinner and wait for you." ”

Professor Fang agreed, and Cheng Liping was afraid of fraud, so he hurriedly notified Liu Weiguo, Hu Hao, and Gemu to bring someone over to check. Ding Er's injuries are fine, but he was shot in his left arm and needs to recuperate for a while. But when it really comes to a critical moment, you can also hold a gun in one right hand.

Maria's Restaurant is located directly west of Victoria Harbour, about a 15-minute walk away. When Cheng Liping passed, Liu Weiguo pretended to be a passerby and greeted him, and said in a low voice: "No problem, the two old gentlemen are senior professors of the research institute." Cheng Liping nodded without a trace and took Xu Jingwen into the restaurant.

The reserved table leaned against the corner, and when he saw Cheng Liping coming in, Professor Fang immediately lifted the document bag under the table. Cheng Liping looked at the bulging document bag, and subconsciously reached out and touched his left armpit. There was a holster with a seven-shot pistol. But seeing Professor Fang pour out a thick stack of document paper, Cheng Liping quickly withdrew his hand again.

"Mr. Cheng, look at it, this is the geological situation near the sea area of Hongdao in July last year...... This stack is from August, and this stack is from the end of November last year. Professor Fang sorted the documents one by one and put them in front of Cheng Liping. The waiter in the dining room came with the menu, but was waved away by another professor, but the old professor was very measured, and at the same time he stuffed a bill into him, which was counted as the cost of occupying the table.

Cheng Liping picked up the paper and looked at it carefully. Some of these documents are geological analyses and some are photographic corroboration. Professor Fang and the others used a large amount of data to list all the detailed data of hydrology, geology, soil composition, and the situation under the island in the past six months. Xu Jingwen leaned over and looked at it a few times, but she couldn't see it, and looked at Cheng Liping sideways, but saw that his face was solemn, and dense beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Half an hour later, Cheng Liping finally finished reading. He looked at Professor Fang quietly and said, "Why didn't you give feedback at that time?" ”

Professor Fang sighed: "At that time, I thought it was still very early. ”

Cheng Liping said: "What now? ”

Professor Fang didn't speak, and pushed the last stack of materials in front of him again. Another professor explained: "Last December, Red Island was occupied by whites, and we could no longer go to the site to investigate. A week ago, we ventured down to see it again, and the results were right in front of you. ”

Cheng Liping nodded, and the speed of flipping through the data became slower and slower. The two professors looked at each other, but neither said anything more. More than 20 pages of information, it took Cheng Liping a full hour to read it this time. Xu Jingwen was afraid that it would affect the business of the restaurant, so she deliberately ordered a few dishes, but told the waiter to deliver them later, so as not to affect Cheng Liping's serious work.

Cheng Liping slowly gathered up the information, put it in Professor Fang's file bag, and said, "Who else knows about this?" ”

"Our team knows. The mainland side should also know that last November, I saw their researchers probing down there. By the way, there are also those white people, who are mining on the island, and they should know better than we know. ”

Cheng Liping was silent for a moment, took out a check from his pocket, signed it, and handed it to Professor Fang. Professor Fang took it, didn't look at the numbers on it at all, and sighed and said, "It's a pity, we originally wanted to study it for a while." ”

Cheng Liping thanked him, took Professor Fang's document bag in his hand, and took Xu Jingwen's hand and left. Xu Jingwen saw that his expression was solemn, knowing that the matter was very important, and she didn't think about whether to eat or not, so she hurriedly followed him out of the restaurant.

Leaving Maria's Western Restaurant, Cheng Liping first convened Liu Weiguo and others for a meeting. He told everyone in an unquestionable tone that before the Lantern Festival, Hongdao must be conquered and control of Hongdao must be restored. Everyone didn't understand why Cheng Liping would make such a hasty decision, but except for Gemu, everyone was Cheng Liping's subordinate, and although they had some doubts in their hearts, no one spoke.

After the meeting, Cheng Liping gave the document package to Liu Weiguo, and hurriedly came out with Xu Jingwen again. Xu Jingwen couldn't hold it back, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”

Cheng Liping was silent for a long time and said, "There are still four months to go, and the Red Island will sink." ”

"Huh?" Xu Jingwen was stunned. She couldn't believe her ears, this small island that has attracted the attention of many countries is about to sink into the sea again just a year after it was launched?

Cheng Liping didn't explain, but took out his mobile phone again and called someone. A few minutes later, Cheng Liping reluctantly smiled: "Hungry, what do you want to eat, I'll invite you to eat." ”

Xu Jingwen said: "You made an appointment to talk about things, right?" ”

Cheng Liping nodded and said, "Eating and talking together, the time is limited, and I can't afford to delay." ”

Xu Jingwen is a pampered woman, but she is good at being reasonable and never unreasonable. Obediently followed Cheng Liping to a restaurant, and after waiting for half an hour, an old man about fifty or sixty years old and a man about thirty years old hurriedly came. Seeing these two people, Xu Jingwen was startled, and immediately got up and shouted, "Uncle Kang, Mr. Kang, you two are good." ”

Kang Yihui smiled and said, "Wenwen, how are you, what about your father, how is your health?" ”

Xu Jingwen said: "Thank you Uncle Kang, it's okay, recuperate at home." ”

Cheng Liping also got up and shook hands with the two, and said, "I'm really sorry to call you two over in such a hurry." ”

Dad was here, Kang Minshu didn't say anything more, and sat down immediately after the greetings. Kang Yihui smiled: "Mr. Cheng, both of us father and son owe you a life, so there is no need to say such kind words again." As long as you tell us, we will do it. ”

Cheng Liping waved his hand with a smile and said, "We won't mention the previous things again." There have been misunderstandings, there have been kindnesses, and all of these have been written off. I invite the two of you to come over today, mainly to discuss the later cooperation. ”

Kang Yihui said: "Oh, didn't you discuss these things with Min Shu last time?" What's the matter, Mr. Cheng, are you going to do it? ”

Cheng Liping did not shy away from it, and immediately nodded and admitted, but as soon as the conversation changed, Cheng Liping continued: "The things I talked about with Mr. Kang before were all based on the construction of Hongdao's economic system. But now that everything has been overturned, I want to copy the previous business plan to the Caribbean region, I wonder what the two of you think? ”

Kang Yihui and Kang Minshu frowned at the same time. Although Hongdao is also located in the middle of the sea, it is not too far from Vietnam, Singapore, and the Philippines, and it is surrounded by countries dominated by yellow people, so it is easy to find a sense of belonging. Whether it is the development of island tourism or the gambling industry, it can be developed as soon as possible. Extending to the Caribbean, there is nothing wrong with it, but the distance factor has become a major constraint.

Kang Yihui thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Cheng, can you tell me the reason?" ”

Cheng Liping did not hide it: "As you know, there is another island below Red Island, and the diamond mine was discovered from the island below. The overlapping islands are not a geographical marvel, but a catastrophe. This afternoon, I received definite news that in half a year at most, Red Island will sink again in the deep sea. ”

Kang Yihui and Kang Minshu glanced at each other, and both of them showed surprised expressions on their faces. Around this island, several forces have been fighting vigorously for a whole year, how can you say that it will sink when it sinks? Kang Yihui did not ask in detail, but he did not believe Cheng Liping's words, in his opinion, Cheng Liping's sinking refers to the mainland military's desire to use unconventional means to destroy the island in order to avoid the threat from Vietnam.

Kang Minshu's thinking jumped quickly, and since Cheng Liping said that Hongdao would cease to exist, his investment plan could only be put on hold for the time being. However, it is not a bad thing to develop into the Caribbean, after all, if you go north, you can develop your business to the mainland of the United States.

"Mr. Cheng, I can't promise you yet, but please send me the address of the island in the Caribbean, and I will send someone to investigate. Once there are no problems, I will continue to fulfill the previous agreement. Kang Min recounted.

Cheng Liping nodded with a smile and said, "In addition, I have to ask the two of you for one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Please help me procure a few ocean-going freighters, I plan to move the population of Red Island to the Caribbean."

Kang Yihui smiled: "That's no problem, new ship or old ship?" ”

Cheng Liping said: "Of course, it's a new ship. ”

After sending off the Kang family father and son, Cheng Liping called Zheng Tong again and asked her to find a way to change the registration subject of Hongdao. Although these things were all registered by the ninth master before, they are now incapacitated, so they can only entrust Zheng Tong to handle it on their behalf. Fortunately, all registration information is kept in electronic files, and there should be little hindrance to submitting it in the past.

Zheng Tong seemed surprised to receive such a task, but she didn't refuse, because she knew that it meant that Cheng Liping really regarded her as her own. After all, a certain island in the Caribbean, the future owner is Cheng Hongbin. After finishing the matter here, Cheng Liping said hello to Dajin Wu and the others, and asked Liu Weiguo to gather all the people, get on the ship that was hijacked from the Australians, and return to the sea again.

Due to the limited time, many of the signs on the ship have not been repaired, and Li Ping asked the workers to eliminate all traces of Australians as soon as possible at the cost of three times his salary. Gemu and Liu Weiguo personally inspected the hull of the ship, dismantled the global positioning device assembled by the Australians, and then loaded the weapons and equipment on the bow of the ship, and resolutely sailed to the west.
