The next morning, Marin got up from Felise's bed refreshed. Behind him, Felise, who was still under the covers, stretched out and said in a tired voice:

"Director Ma, are you still here to play the script tonight? I have a lot of questions for you! ”

Marin's heart fluttered, but after thinking about it, he still refused:

"Not tonight, if you don't go back to the main room, Angela will go crazy. In this way, in two days, I will come to you at night and tell you the essentials of a bed scene, and I will show you in person. When the time comes, be sure to listen to it......"

"Ah, Director Ma, I like the bed scene the most, when the time comes, you must 'guide' me well! Not only will I listen to it, but I will do it well! Felise understood the meaning of Marin's words, because, some time ago, the two had been playing the role of "director and 'self-motivated' actress", and they had figured out Marin's way of speaking.

"Huh!" Marlin tightened his belt and went to breakfast.

Because it took a lot of physical strength and essence to "play the script" with Felise last night, Marin asked the imperial chef to make a big bowl of kidney noodles early in the morning to make up for his waist.

After a while, Caesar came to breakfast too. Marin frowned when he saw it, and said dissatisfied:

"Boy, steady the point, walk and walk, what do you look like when you jump? Are you a rabbit? ”

Little Caesar was disciplined and very depressed. However, the little guy suddenly remembered something and asked Marin:

"Dad, why didn't you go to Mommy's room last night? I slept with my mother last night, and when I slept, my mother kept calling you a big villain and a big carrot, why? What's the matter with a big carrot? ”

Marin's face suddenly froze, and at this time, Angela happened to come to the restaurant and happened to hear Caesar's innocent words. Then, Angela couldn't hold back her laughter:

"Hahaha......"

Marin glared at Angela dissatisfiedly and said:

"Don't talk nonsense in front of your children!"

"I'm right!" Angela didn't care. Moreover, he kissed Caesar in reward.

Marin's face was full of embarrassment, but his eyes rolled, and he immediately blurted out a rotten excuse:

"I'm not here for this family? You know, only if you take your sister in will all your father's resources be tilted towards me. Otherwise, multiple sons-in-law, he may not have tried so hard to help me! ”

Marin is right, and it can't be an excuse. After hearing this, Angela fell silent for a moment, and then lowered her head and began to eat breakfast in silence.

Because Marlin was right, although Felise shared her husband with her. However, because of this, his father's resources will be concentrated on Marin. If Felice had married someone else, or even a great Italian nobleman, she would probably have taken half of her father's available resources as pope. After all, if Felise marries in Italy, she is much closer to her father than she is, and it is easier to obtain resources.

And in this situation, although Felice is fighting with herself for a husband, she is a legitimate wife, and the children she gave birth to also have the right of orthodox inheritance. And Felise's children can only be regarded as illegitimate children, and they are not qualified to compete for resources with their own children. Speaking of which, it was still Felise who lost a lot.

Felise did lose a lot, but Marin vowed to support Robert's candidacy for the Pope in the future, and let his second son Mario (Jack Ma's German name) serve as the hereditary lord of Taiwan. Otherwise, with Felise's temperament of taking advantage, he will definitely refuse to give up.

……

Far away in West Africa, on a small island and reef 900 meters long from north to south and 300 meters wide from east to west on a small island and reef in the south of the Cape Verde Peninsula, where the capital of Senegal is located, two merchant ships flying the flag of the Duke of Coimbra's family sailed.

This small island is called Île Gorée and was the earliest Portuguese foothold off the coast of Senegal. For now, it is also the only Portuguese stronghold in Senegal. This is due to the fact that there are few gold resources in the Senegalese steppes (which have not yet been discovered) and there is a lack of cooperative slave suppliers. The only popular resources in the area are ivory and rhino horn, so the Portuguese did not have much demand here, except for a small base on the island of Gorée, and often sent ships to trade with the local natives on land.

Originally, the island belonged to a small Portuguese noble family called Serreu. This small family made a modest business off the coast of Senegal by buying indigenous ivory and rhino horn.

But Gorée Island has one major flaw – it's a tiny island with no fresh water resources. As a result, the island's colonists had difficulty drinking water and had to send boats to the mouth of the land-based freshwater river to fetch water. But this was too much trouble, and there were not many colonists on the island who could survive. And the business of ivory and rhino horn is not so easy to do. Because the local people lack the means to hunt elephants and rhinos, they can only survive by obtaining ivory and rhino horns from the carcasses of dead elephants and rhinos. Therefore, there is not much trade here, and there are no big families to compete with.

But after Marin and the Duke of Coimbra discussed the establishment of a joint venture, the Duke of Coimbra, Jorge. Morality. Lencestre decisively registered a "Senegalese fur company" in Portugal. The company needs a place to stay, and although Gorée Island is small and has no fresh water resources, it is currently the most suitable place to stay.

Thus, the Duke of Coimbra, Jorge. Morality. Lencastre sent men to find the patriarch of the Sereu family, and in exchange for control of the island of Gorée and a concession for trade with Senegal, in exchange for a profit (sharing some of the profits from other places).

Then, Marin, who got the news, naturally sent two ships to the front station of Gorée Island, preparing to establish a foothold for the "Senegalese Fur Company". Of course, Marín's people are named after the Duke of Coimbra, Jorge. Morality. Rencastre's name of the service.

When the two ships arrived on the island of Gorée, they handed over to the Sereu family. In order to facilitate communication with the indigenous people, two interpreters who understand the local indigenous language were also left behind.

After the Sereu family had withdrawn, Eschwein, the head of the rhino skins, ordered the workers who had come with the ship to begin rebuilding the docks.

Why renovate the pier? This is because wooden boats moored at the piers in the pure sea area are very seriously infested by sea maggots. Because there is no function of automatic removal of sea maggots in freshwater, the ships moored at the pier in this pure sea area are inevitably plagued by sea maggots - the wood at the bottom of the ship is eaten by sea maggots......

Therefore, the merchant ships of the Sereu family did not anchor here for a long time. Long-term moorings are a group of small and medium-sized vessels that travel between the island and the mainland. After all, the people of the island who wanted to go to land for fresh water and cargo had to use boats.

However, as a result, these small and medium-sized ships have been infested by sea maggots for a long time, and the loss of ships is very large. Every few months, small and medium-sized boats on the island are taken in for overhaul (replacement of planks on the bottom) and sent in for repairs.

In this way, the cost of overhauling many small and medium-sized ships alone is a large amount of money every year. This, too, led to the fact that the Sereu family's purchase of ivory and rhino horn here was not very profitable. Otherwise, they would not be willing to give up the interests of this side. In fact, the loss of ships at the seawater dock is too great......
