Chapter Seventy-Five: Prepare the base, check the business situation and make a plan!
At 10 a.m. on June 16, 1982, we held a preparatory meeting for the formation of the Pule Island Development Company in the conference room of the main building of the Castle.
In order to speed up the purchase of Pule Island, planning and design and project construction, etc., after discussion and approval, we set up two working groups to work together to carry out various tasks.
The first group, led by Qiao Yan and I, took Song Xiaobing, Zhao Lan and others to Europe and Hong Kong City to inspect the location of the registered company.
The second group, led by Brother Feihu and Jia Yibang, took Shulan, Uncle Liao, Brother Wenwu and Brother Xiande to inspect Lamaxian's island, and conducted preliminary negotiations on the purchase of islands!
After we decided, we began to prepare personal documents, book air tickets, etc., and make preparations for distribution.
......
I, Qiao Yan, Song Xiaobing, and Zhao Lan booked a flight at 9 a.m. on June 15.
Our first stop was Milan, where I would like to visit Dr. Nicholas's child, Mr. Gutrien, and then we will visit some European cities and port cities.
Feihu and Yibang also went to the capital of the emirate on the afternoon of June 15 to meet and negotiate with Lama Xian.
We agreed to return to Palembang Castle on June 23 to meet up, and then agreed on the purchase of the island and the development.
......
After dinner in the evening, I, Qiao Yan, Bu Wei and Li Xian drank tea and chatted in the living room of our housing suite.
Lixian said with tears in her eyes, "Dad! You've only been back for a few days! It's time to leave the house again! Didn't you say okay, you can't leave the house?! ”
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "Lixian! With Mom, Uncle Xiaobing, and Aunt Zhao Lan protecting your father, he will definitely be fine! You and Bu Viagra are at home, play more with Song Renyi's younger brother! Also, listen to Uncle Flying Leopard, Uncle Jinhua, Mother Liao and other adults, don't make trouble with them! ”
Buwei hugged me and said, "Dad! I don't want you to go! I'm afraid you're gone, I'm going to have nightmares! ”
I said, "Buwei! Obedient! Mom and Dad are going out and doing big things! After doing these great things, we are settled! To do these big things, I have to do it with your mother and Song Renyi's parents, otherwise, the big things can't be done! In a few days, we'll be back! Do you understand? ”
Bu Wei wiped away his tears and said, "Dad! I understand! You are the driver, Mom and Song Renyi's parents are in the car! If you're not there, the car won't go! Is that the truth? ”
Everyone laughed!
Qiao Yan and I hugged the two children and nodded to them silently!
......
At 7 o'clock in the morning on June 17, I, Qiao Yan, Song Xiaobing and Zhao Lan waited for our luggage, and after saying goodbye to Bu Wei, Lixian and Renyi, Brother Feibao drove with his bodyguards and sent us to Palembang International Airport.
At the airport, we boarded a direct international flight to Milan on time.
On the plane, we found a seat and put our luggage, and after sitting down, the plane took off.
Qiao Yan and Zhao Lan sat together and chatted, and Song Xiaobing and I sat together and chatted.
Song Xiaobing smiled and said, "Alas! O lone dragon! When you come back, we feel more meaningful! Zhao Lan said that in the past few days, when I sleep, I am smiling! ”
I said, "Yes! When I saw you, I felt alive again! Alas, how nice it would be if we didn't have these troubles! After these things are arranged, we will do our own things and live a peaceful life! ”
Song Xiaobing said: "Alas! Lone Dragon, I've thought about it, if you escape and come back, the Allies and Pluto Research Institute shouldn't be pursuing you! Of course, they must be secretly investigating and spying on you! As long as you are well hidden, show your face! They can't do anything about you! When our IOC department is up and running, we won't have to be afraid of them! In the future, you can let me, Qiao Yan, Zhao Lan and others do the external liaison matters! When this preparation is over, the four of you will begin to go into deep seclusion! ”
I said, "Okay! I've thought about this too! In fact, as long as the technical data and product samples of viruses, vaccines and drugs, as well as the relevant major development researchers, etc., are still in the hands of Pasteur! They will definitely not come to us, because we have signed a "cooperative development agreement" with the institute, which stipulates that the four of us core research experts can wait for 30% of the profit sharing of the research results! Boss Pasteur definitely doesn't want us to take advantage of this! And on the part of the Allies, they just want to force Pasteur to give them cheap viruses, vaccines and medicines! These things can be done as long as Pasteur can do them, and the four of us really don't have this ability! Therefore, the Allies will not look for us either! In fact, the development plan and technical documents of the Pluto Institute have already indicated that Dr. Nikolai is the main inventor and developer, and the four of us are only Dr. Nikolai's assistants and experimenters who operate the specific experiments of the project! And now that Nikolai is dead again, Pasteur and the others would rather find someone else to help him with the work than the four of us! Pasteur is a profiteer, and he must be worried that we will go back and share the spoils with them! Do you understand? ”
Song Xiaobing smiled and said, "Yes! That's fine! According to the way of thinking of foreigners, the Chinese are stupid farmers and field gatherers! They don't think that we can develop such sophisticated technology and advanced technology products! Now, I finally feel how lucky we are to have made our Chinese scientists safe by thinking wrongly! ”
Everyone laughed!
......
On June 18th, at 8 a.m. local time, our flight arrived at Milan International Airport!
After leaving the airport, we took the airport bus and went straight to the university, where Dr. Nikolai taught.
We're going to be there, looking for Dr. Nikolai's son, Mr. Gutrian.
At 10 a.m., we arrived at the faculty and staff management office of the medical university, where we were received by an administrator.
When we asked him about Dr. Nikolai and his son Gutrian, the caretaker helped us find Dr. Nikolai's personnel file.
The administrator showed me a photo of Dr. Nikolai when he was young, as well as physical examination information such as height, weight, and blood type.
This document was created in August 1951, when Dr. Nikolai left the school.
We immediately confirmed to the administrator that this Dr. Nikolai was the person we were looking for.
The administrator said, "Oh! Welcome, Dr. Byron! After Dr. Nikolai left school, he never came back! You're the first to come here looking for him! His son, Dr. Gutrian, is now a professor at our university! You can go to the sixth department to find him! Now, he should be in the department! ”
So, after saying goodbye to the administrator, we went directly to the sixth department.
In one of the offices of the Sixth Department, I met Professor Gutrian.
I told him about the purpose of visiting him, his father's dying wishes, and my promise to his father!
Professor Gutrian said calmly, "Mr. Byron! Thank you so much for visiting me! Actually, I am my father's adopted son! After my father left this university, I was raised by the seniors at this university! I don't have any impression of my adoptive parents anymore! I also have no desire to find my biological parents! However, I am still very grateful to my adoptive father for still missing me on his deathbed! May God bless him! ”
I said, "Oh! I see! Professor! Are you having difficulties in your life and career? Do you need my help? ”
Gutrian smiled and said, "No need! Youngster! I'm having a great time here! I love what I do! I didn't have any difficulties! I think that in a few decades, I will be able to meet my adoptive father, Dr. Nikolai, in heaven! ”
We bid farewell to Professor Gutrian with great emotion!
I took a taxi in the university parking lot and went to a hotel.
When we got to the hotel, we asked for two apartments.
After putting our luggage and belongings in the room, we went to the hotel restaurant for lunch together.
After we ordered our meal, the four of us gathered around the table for coffee and chatting.
Zhao Lan said: "Alas! Westerners think so differently from us! They don't talk about gratitude and filial piety! Dr. Nikolai had told Lone Dragon that Gutrian was his own son! The people in the University Administration Office are also sure of this! But why doesn't this Gutrian admit it?! ”
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "Alas! It's better not to admit it! If Gutrian admits it! Lone Dragon is also going to give him $2 million in cash! Now, don't send it! Save us from buying a few sets of jewelry! ”
Everyone laughed!
......
From June 19th to 20th, we took the train and plane to visit the registration of companies and enterprises in Berlin, Paris, London and other famous European cities.
We feel that the authorities in these places are very strict in regulating technology companies, and the corporate taxes are very heavy, the land, energy and labor costs are also very high, and at the same time, this area is very far from Palembang and Pule Island, if you set up a company here, it is very inconvenient to send personnel! Therefore, we still plan to register a company in the port city, because the port city is an international financial center, a business center and a logistics center, and it is a world-famous free port, which is very convenient for doing business and doing business.
......
At 8 a.m. on June 21, we arrived in Port City from London.
After that, we entrusted the Gangcheng office of Jiashidi Law Firm to handle the registration of Pule Island Modern Economic Development Corporation and Pule International Technology Industrial Development Co., Ltd.
Subsequently, we inspected several international chain planning and design companies in Port City.
In the end, we selected two design companies for international shipping terminals and logistics centers, including Gangcheng Jinding Company and Yangcheng Jinding Company, which had helped us plan and design, to carry out the planning and construction design of the Pule Island project.
......
At 1 p.m. on June 22, after we completed the registration of the two companies, we took a flight back to Palembang at Gangcheng International Airport with the articles of directors of the two companies, the shareholders' certificates, the company's business license, the tax registration certificate, the company's bank master account, and a complete set of company seals, as well as luggage and items that Qiao Yan and Zhao Lan had shopped for themselves and their children.
......
At around 4 p.m., we arrived at Palembang International Airport.
After we left the airport, Brother Flying Leopard took the convoy and picked us up and returned to the sea castle.
At around 5 p.m., we returned to the castle.
Brother Flying Leopard told us that at 8 o'clock in the evening, Brother Flying Tiger and Yibang and the six of them returned home from Pule Island.
.....
Soon, Bu Wei, Li Xian, Renyi and other three children have come home from school.
When they saw us, they cried with excitement!
In the living room at home, the four of us distributed clothes and gifts to the children and Li's mother, and we shopped for them in Europe.
After the children and Mama Li got the costumes and gifts, they were all smiling!
Li Ma smiled and said, "Alas! These kids are so sensible! When you weren't at home, they came to me every day and asked me why Mom and Dad hadn't come back. Will Mom and Dad meet the bad guys? ”
Everyone laughed!
Bu Wei smiled and said, "Mama Li! You adults are bold! Our little ones are timid! So, ah, we like to be scared and worried! ”
Renyi smiled and said, "Yes! Now we don't have to be scared and worried! Let's go outside and hide and seek! ”
Then the three children went to the garden in the yard to play hide and seek!
Since the children have lived here for a few years, they have fallen in love with the Palembang Castle and Palembang.
......
At 9 o'clock in the morning of June 23, I, Qiao Yan, Song Xiaobing, Zhao Lan, and Brother Feihu, Yibang, Shulan, Uncle Liao, Brother Wenwu, and Brother Xiande, who returned from the inspection of Pule Island, held a meeting of the board of directors of Pule Island Economic Development Corporation in the conference room of the main building of Pule Castle.
First of all, I would like to report to you our feelings and gains in Europe and Port City.
After my debriefing, Brother Feihu was responsible for reporting on their inspection.
Brother Feihu smiled and said, "Alas! It's really an acquaintance and easy to do! Sheikh Lama Xian attaches great importance to our visit! Dedicated to preliminary negotiations with us, as well as an expedition to the island! They offered me a deal on the condition of buying a basket of assets such as land, territorial sea and airspace on the island, and the overall price of the deal was $50 billion! The transaction includes jurisdiction over island land, territorial sea and airspace! The independence of the region and more! After the transaction came into effect, the Chieftain helped us to carry out the international recognition of the region, and obtained independent international status, and has international rights and obligations from international organizations such as international defense rights, trade rights, etc.! ”
After a pause, Brother Feihu said: "The situation of this island in terms of resources is that this island extends in a west-east direction, about 500 kilometers from east to west, with an average width of 200 kilometers from north to south, and a land area of 106,000 square kilometers!" It belongs to the tropical maritime climate of the western Pacific Ocean, and the land and sea flora and fauna are very prosperous! The island is a volcanic sedimentary rock geological structure, and the landform is dominated by hills and plains, with forests, rivers and lakes, etc., and is very rich in water resources! Currently, there are more than 5,000 inhabitants of the island, who are mainly engaged in natural economies such as fishing, logging and gathering! There are no cities on the island, only natural villages! In the western section of the strait, where the island meets the main emirate island, there is an airstrip that can dock small regional airliners! Near the airport, there is a marine terminal that can dock 5,000 tons of passenger and cargo ships, a small sheltered fishing port for fishermen, and a seafood and agricultural products trading market near the fishing port! The entire island is on land, and there is only one gravel road that runs east and west through the middle of the island! It can be said that this island is poor and white! If we buy the island, we will have to invest a lot of money in huge and comprehensive economic and social development. ”
Then, Brother Feihu showed me the transaction documents of Chief Lama Xian's "International Power of Attorney", "Report on the Geological Survey of the Island", "Report on the Social and Economic Conditions of the Island", and "Statement of Rights and Obligations for Island Purchase".
After we read the documents, we had a discussion.
"I feel that this island is very suitable for us to develop scientific research and technology industry!" At the same time, the island is rich in natural resources, with abundant water resources, animal and plant resources, and mineral resources! These resources are suitable for us to develop modern manufacturing, modern agriculture, fishery and animal husbandry, modern mining and metallurgy! The land on the island is flat, the climate and environment are very livable, and the three central cities of the island can be developed in the west, central and east! In the future, the entire island can accommodate more than 600,000 high-quality residents! In the future, our children and grandchildren will be able to live and reproduce here! As long as we have the right planning, investment and management in place, this island will definitely become a rich, happy and free home! At the same time, it will become a modern international free port integrating scientific and technological research, modern manufacturing, international trade, etc.! ”
I said, "Good! In the past few days, we have been providing legal advice on island transactions and preparing for the signing of the contract! Then, we sign a deal contract with Sheikh Lama Xian as soon as possible! Then, we immediately proceeded to the planning and construction of the island, as well as the preparatory work for the social and economic construction of the island! The development and construction of Pule Island is related to our future, so we must steadily and rapidly promote the development and construction of Pule Island! ”
Everyone passed by acclamation!
