Chu Yi invested in transportation companies, warehouses, and docks on the island on behalf of Count Soros, and it stands to reason that I should have a good relationship with her, but because of Grace, I will offend her now, and before I left for the Golden Island, I gave myself such a big gift, and I can't say it.

In the afternoon, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new pier officially began, and the whole Paradise Island was attended by a little bit of people, and even many unrelated passers-by gathered around to join in the fun.

The groundbreaking ceremony of this world is not new compared to our world, and it is also a few main core characters digging a pit to bury some soil, walking through the formality, but after the groundbreaking ceremony, there is also a ceremony to pray to the god of the sea.

For sailors who sail to the ocean, whether they can reach their destination smoothly depends mainly on the mood of the sea, if the sea is in a good mood and gentle like water, then it is the blue sky, white clouds and blue waves, if the mood of the sea is not good and manic, it is the purgatory of the world with high waves and winds.

In the myths and legends of the Western world, the sea god is the supreme god in charge of the sea, its upper body is a strong, full beard, a bit of cosplay sand monk rough man, the lower body is a fishtail, in addition, there is a steel fork in his hand, the steel fork can be described as an ancient artifact, as long as it is used to gently move the sea, it can set off stormy waves.

According to legend, this sea god has a strange temper and turns his face when he says that he will turn his face, but he has a weakness, that is, he likes to be complimented and praised very much, so in the Western world, whenever a new ship is launched or a new dock is completed, a ceremony must be held to pray to the sea god, or to be more precise, pat his ass.

The celebrant of the ceremony will stuff a piece of paper full of all kinds of pompous praise to the god of the sea into a glass bottle, and then throw the glass bottle into the sea, and after a few minutes, the host will assume that the god of the sea has received the praise from the people, and will be very happy, and take the money back to reward all the witnesses of the ceremony. Of course, this is all nonsense, and all of the previous ones can be summed up as one behavior, just a drifting bottle. It is not known how many new ships are launched every day around the world, nor how many new docks are built, and everyone does this, and the sea god can die of exhaustion just by picking up bottles, and it is even more nonsense to take the money back and reward it to all the witnesses of the ceremony, and the money that the owner of the ship or the owner of the dock has prepared in advance, and the more prepared it is, the happier the sea god is, and the more rewards.

When James and the others first came to the island, this ceremony was also held at the first newly built island pier, but in the subsequent reward link, due to financial pressure, James only took five hundred pence, and this time Chu Yi was stunned and took out five hundred pounds as a reward, which was a hundred times.

The passers-by who were present were as happy as the New Year, and they casually held a scene, and each received a reward of at least two hundred pence, which was easier than picking up money on the road.

One of the glasses man's subordinates took the money in his hand and said excitedly to the glasses man: "Brother Yang, you said that it would be great if there were such good things every day, what kind of tobacco company will we open at that time, and we can make money by watching the excitement." ”

The man with glasses glared at his subordinates and said with disdain: "There is no interest at all!" Just two pounds makes you happy like this? If you were given two hundred pounds, would you not even know your last name? ”

Seeing that the man with glasses was a little unhappy, the boy under his command immediately put away his excitement and said aggrievedly: "Brother Yang, don't think I'm unproductive, we really don't have much money now." Until now, the citizenship tax has not been settled. ”

"Who can be blamed for this? Tell me about you, you don't know anything, you can't even plant fields, do you just want to sit at home and drop money in the sky? If you want to make money, you have to figure it out yourself! ”

was scolded by the man with glasses, and the boys under him no longer dared to speak up. The man with glasses looked at Chu Yi on the guest of honor, and secretly swore in his heart that one day, he would also spend money like Chu Yi, no, not Chu Yi, Chu Yi is just a small personal assistant, if you want to do it, you have to be a business tycoon like Count Soros.

At Russell's home on the island, his younger siblings also came back with a bounty, although Russell also prepared enough funds before coming to Paradise Island, theoretically they are not short of money for the time being, but who would be afraid of too much money.

Eve said excitedly to Russell: "That Miss Chu Yi is really generous, she can make a casual move for five hundred pounds, and send out the income of an ordinary imperial family for a year." ”

"She is indeed too rich, and I have heard that the total amount of her investment in the island this time is almost close to 100,000 pounds, and if we had so much money, our capitalist revolution would have succeeded long ago." Said one of Eve's companions.

"What are you talking about!" Before Eve's companion's words fell, Russell suddenly stood up in a rage, he slapped the table and asked sharply, and the boy was so frightened that he quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot." ”

"Brother Luo doesn't need to be so nervous, there are no outsiders here." Big Bear pulled Russell to sit down on the side, and then persuaded: "Everyone has worked hard enough during this time, don't make the atmosphere so tense again." ”

"Well," Russell calmed down under the persuasion of Big Bear, but he still said to everyone seriously: "You must remember that you must control your mouth, especially the words capitalist revolution." Once the news leaks out, it's not as simple as leaking secrets, there will be a bloody disaster. ”

After Russell finished speaking, Da Xiong added on the side: "Brother Luo is also for everyone's good, I hope everyone can understand." In addition, the queen is critically ill, and the situation behind the British Empire does not know what direction it will go, so we must be more cautious in what we say and do, especially when developing our members, we must be cautious and cautious. ”

"Hmm", Eve nodded and said, "We all know this, but during this time, the Protestant side has also moved very quickly, and has developed a lot of new members, which has brought us a lot of obstacles to a certain extent. ”

Russell said, "That Powers really can't be underestimated, and he almost let him succeed in provoking the contradiction between the new citizens and the old citizens, and let them continue to develop like this, it will indeed be a big problem for us." ”

On Powers' side, he was listening carefully to the reports of his subordinates, during this time due to the sudden critical illness of the Queen, Prince Charles left Paradise Island in a hurry, so he decided to change his plan, for the time being, no longer provoke conflicts between the former slaves and the old citizens, and his main focus will now be shifted to developing more members of the sect and solving the problem of funding.

According to his previous plan, as long as he can plunge Paradise Island into chaos, and then launch a Protestant uprising, and then call on all Protestants in the Western world to take refuge, then the empire is likely to allow Paradise Island's independence by default in order to get rid of the burdensome burden of Protestants. But whether it is to plunge Paradise Island into chaos and disorder, or to develop the cultists, he needs enough funds, and the previous funds were all raised by supporting his disciples, which is definitely not a long-term solution, he needs a more adequate and stable funding channel.

At the same time, Bowers was a little uneasy that his men appeared in the deeper part of Paradise Island, in those areas where no one had yet set foot openly, and those secrets seemed to be related to Duke Jackson, and his men tried to get close to each other several times but in vain.
