Chapter 345: Pirate Wealth
The two pirates immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Thank you for the grace of the hero not to kill, I will never be a pirate again." ”
Zhou Lin and the others left the Pirate Treasure Island and sailed towards the harbor that they had agreed with Fang Long.
On the way, he passed a populated island, and Zhou Lin let the two pirates go.
After the two pirates left, Zhou Lin gave each of his companions $20,000 plus £10,000 in cash. At this time, the exchange rate was 4.03 US dollars per pound.
Zhou Lin still had 190,000 US dollars in his hand, which he put into his purse.
Zhou Lin said to everyone embarrassedly: "These 190,000 US dollars can send down the settlement allowance of 3,200 families." ”
"Fifty dollars per family, a total of $160,000." Smith reckoned.
"The construction on the island has to keep up, and I am ready to invest 150,000 US dollars to build Zhoujia Island into a powerful island."
Everyone believed that Zhou Lin's wish could come true, because after the $1.2 million was distributed to five people for $500,000, Zhou Lin still had $700,000.
This money is a lot of money in today's Nanyang.
After the money was divided, everyone happily galloped on the sea, and the small fishing boats were so frightened that they dodged one after another.
When they arrived at the harbor, the speedboat approached the American freighter, and Zhou Lin called Fang Long to help and moved the thirty large and small boxes onto the freighter.
"What's that?" Cui Haitao asked Zhou Lin quietly.
"I sold all the pirate's stuff to Smith and exchanged it for dollars to build our Zhoujia Island," Zhou Lin said.
Everyone except Fang Long was from bandits, so there was no reaction.
Smith immediately reported the situation to his superiors on the radio on the American freighter, and the general, who was also a fan of antiques, was very pleased to hear it, and asked the American warship in the vicinity to approach the docking point of the American freighter.
Five hours later, the U.S. warship actually brought $1.2 million in cash in exchange for the gold, silver and jewelry in Zhou Lin's hand.
Zhou Lin immediately let the American freighter set sail and headed for Zhoujia Island.
Eighteen hours later, the freighter arrived at Zhoujia Island.
Zhoujiadao has a deep-water port where cargo ships can be docked.
But when Zhou Lin ordered to dock the ship, he was rejected by the harbor.
It turned out that after Zhou Lin bought Zhoujia Island, the original owners evacuated last month.
Half a month ago, a group of locals occupied the island, declaring it to be theirs forever.
They brought in a lot of mining machinery and built temporary roads.
They are ready to rob all the minerals on the island, and even if they can't occupy the island, they will be able to make a windfall.
So they heard that Zhou Lin was coming so soon, so they were ready to come hard, Zhou Lin was not allowed to go to the island, just to dominate the island, what can you do with me?
"You are a Chinese, why did you go to Nanyang to grab territory? Lao Tzu just won't let me, can you bite Lao Tzu's dick off? Hey, boy, this isn't your place to play, get me back to China. A meaty-faced guy said.
Zhou Lin hadn't said anything yet, and Li Shibai next to him couldn't listen to it anymore.
As soon as the hand was raised, a sleeve arrow shot out of the sleeve and hit the guy in the crotch.
With a scream, the guy fainted in pain, and a man in his fifties next to him looked at the man with concern, then turned around and ordered, "Shoot me!" Kill them all. ”
Immediately, machine guns rang out in two sandbag bunkers at the port.
There were people on the freighter who were watching the excitement and were injured, but the distance was too far for no one to die.
Cui Haitao looked at Zhou Lin and asked, "Young master! ”
Zhou Lin looked at the injured child, turned around and said, "They are not people, they are not people, you know what to do." ”
Cui Haitao shouted: "I know." ”
Walking to the mortar, Cui Haitao ordered: "Blow down those two machine gun positions for me." ”
Then, Cui Haitao drew his pistol and waited for the shelling to end.
The mortar gunners were also very aggressive, and with only four shells, two machine-gun positions were blown up.
"Brothers, kill them all!" Cui Haitao shouted loudly.
Cui Haitao flew out of a rope, held a gun in one hand and a rope in the other, flew off the freighter, and killed three people when he landed.
The machine guns on the freighter fired at the same time, covering Cui Haitao and hundreds of others to fly off the freighter.
The old man on the opposite side saw the fierce firepower of the freighter, and immediately ordered to retreat.
However, their footsteps were not as fast as bullets, and in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred people died.
Cui Haitao rushed to the island with hundreds of people, killing anyone he saw.
The people who came to this island were all grown strong laborers, and they were all from the same family.
In order to dig up the minerals as soon as possible, their family came out with a fifth of them.
But within an hour, all of these 300 people were killed.
Blood stained the sea red, and everyone nearby was scared to run away.
The old man and Hengrou were all taken up, and now there were only five of them left.
Heng Rou scolded: "Chinese who don't open their eyes, if you kill our people, just wait for our people to kill you." ”
"Kill him!" Cui Haitao gave an order, and immediately, one of his subordinates went up and cut off the head of Heng Rou.
Until he died, he didn't expect anyone to dare to kill him.
The old man shouted, turned around and ran, but Cui Haitao shot him through the head.
The remaining three were also killed, and the more than 300 people who had invaded the island were thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Cui Haitao asked people to clean up the island, and then asked Zhou Lin to go to the island.
It took an hour for Zhou Lin to ride a horse and run all over the two islands.
There were hundreds of horses, all of them that had died.
They were going to use horses to trailer to transport ore, but now they have become Zhou Lin's mount. Zhou Lin ordered people to level all the pits dug on the island.
Now he has changed his mind, with the 700,000 US dollars, Zhou Lin will not dig up his belongings to sell, he wants to develop from the planting and breeding industry.
According to the prior arrangement, Cui Haitao settled in Island A and was responsible for the management of Island A and the surrounding islands.
Fang Long settled in Island B and was responsible for the management of Island B and the surrounding islands.
Because the port is located on Island B, it is under the jurisdiction of Fang Long.
Islands A and B are separated by only ten miles, and in the middle are bays that enter the port.
And the unmanaged island C is in a triangular shape with them.
Zhou Lin asked Cui Haitao to send a battalion of men to be stationed on Island C.
At this point, the garrisons of the three islands had been arranged, and everyone used the tents they brought with them as temporary dormitories, and spent the first night after coming to Nanyang to visit the islands.
The next day, Zhou Lin came to Island A and gathered all the 2,000 soldiers who came over.
"Remember the fifty dollars I promised you?" Zhou Lin stood in front of the team and asked.
"Remember, but the boss said, 'Don't count on it.'" An eighteen or nineteen-year-old soldier said.
"Why?" Zhou Lin asked the little soldier with a smile.
"The boss said that one dollar can buy a cow if you exchange it for a thousand fiat currency, and you can buy fifty cows for fifty dollars, so our family will not make a fortune."
