On the shores of the Anglo Ocean, a luxurious merchant ship is owned by Count Soros, one of the empire's most famous business tycoons.

Although Earl Soros did not hold any public office in the British Empire, and the title was only an earl, in terms of aristocratic hierarchy, he could only be regarded as a middle-class nobleman, but no one in the entire empire could ignore his existence, according to rumors, Count Soros's wealth was amazing, and some people even said that as long as he wanted, he could buy the entire British Empire.

No one can tell in detail how Count Soros has amassed such a huge fortune, and his various stories have long been told to be miraculous, and many of them have even been covered with mythology, but this is also normal, after any person succeeds to a certain extreme, his every move, word and deed can be interpreted into all kinds of unbelievable associations, and the more spotlights shrouded in his body, the more strange and ordinary it is.

Soros's British trading company involves dozens of industries such as ocean shipping, banking and finance, tobacco sales, etc., in each industry field, his company can be ranked in the forefront, and his business scope is not only limited to the British Empire, but also covers most of the countries in the entire Western world, and even some countries in the Eastern world, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a world-class business tycoon.

Although Soros did not hold any imperial public office, he was indeed an important business brain of the Queen, and some people said that half of the credit for the rapid economic development of the British Empire in the past ten years can be attributed to the head of Count Soros.

The ship continued to sail on the sea, and in a few hours it would reach Paradise Island, and Count Soros, who was over half a hundred years old, stood on the deck with a red wine glass, and the gentle sea breeze blew through his gray hair, as if he was also spying on the vicissitudes of his life.

Behind the Earl, a young woman came over with a coat in her hand, and she said to Soros, "It's windy outside, do you still want to approve the coat?" ”

Soros shook his head with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter, this sea breeze can't down as an old man, I think when I started my business, I didn't experience any kind of wind and waves." ”

The woman smiled, "After all, it was when you were young, and now that you are older, you should also take care of your body." ”

"Alas, what you said is also right, it is not good for people to be dissatisfied with the old age, and the future still belongs to you young people after all." The earl turned around and took the coat and put it on, he looked at the woman and continued: "Chu Yi, you have been by my side for seven or eight years, thanks to your careful care over the years, I often think that it would be good if you were my daughter." ”

"Your Excellency has won the award, and I can only take care of your diet and daily life, and I can't share your other worries for you."

"I'm very satisfied with being able to do this, but it's a pity that it is limited to the laws of the empire, otherwise I really want to leave all my family business to you, I have worked hard for so many years, I really don't want it to be all in vain one day."

"Why should the Earl be so sad, you also have someone around you who can be trusted?"

"You mean my nephews?" Soros smiled bitterly twice, and said with a lonely expression: "All of them are just some gentlemen, they are proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, but none of them can afford to take on the heavy responsibility, sometimes I think that God is still fair, it has given me endless glory and wealth in this life, but it has not given me a qualified heir, and what is given to me now will be taken back after all." ”

Chu Yi looked at Soros's sadness and loneliness, and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to speak, this business tycoon with infinite scenery in front of him was just a helpless sixty-year-old man at this moment, she was silent for a few minutes and then asked: "Lord Earl, did you go to Paradise Island this time to investigate the cause of Young Master Matthiessen's death?" ”

"Investigation?" Soros sighed and shook his head and said: "What is there to investigate, I don't know what Mattieson did in the empire, I originally thought that if he went to this distant overseas to exercise, he would be able to restrain and improve, but I didn't expect that I would put my life here, I think this is to blame." ”

"But as far as I know, Master Matthieson was kidnapped by a group of pirates, and then killed by someone in the confrontation, doesn't the Earl want to know who put the black gun?" Chu Yi asked puzzled.

"I don't want to know." Soros shook his head, "This has happened, and I don't want to uncover more secrets in order to uncover the answer to a question." I've got enough of my ruined nephews and nephews, and I don't want to worry about this bit of about them every day. ”

"In that case, why did you go all the way to Paradise Island in person?"

"I wanted to see what was going on on Paradise Island, where slavery was abolished and where Jackson's old fox was making small moves, and my instincts told me that something must be going on on this little overseas island."

"When did you care so much about politics?"

"Hehe", Soros smiled, "Although I am a businessman, if I am not sensitive to politics at all, then I would have died in the torrent of history a long time ago, we can not participate in politics, but we must not care about politics." ”

"Oh", Chu Yi nodded as if he didn't understand and then stopped talking, the two looked at the sea in the distance together and thought about it, when suddenly the hull of the boat shook slightly, and it seemed that something hit it from the side.

Not long after, one of his men came running and reported: "My lord, a small boat has hit us, and there are two men and a woman on board, dressed in tatters, who claim to be also bound for Paradise Island. ”

When the two men and one woman were brought to Soros, Soros looked them up and down and asked, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? ”

The woman said with a hippie smile: "We are from a small island near the Golden Islands, everyone calls me Sister Hua, and we are going to Paradise Island to find relatives." ”

"The Golden Isles?" Soros frowned and asked, "It's a famous pirate den there, are you pirates?" Soros screamed, and several guards quickly surrounded Sister Hua and the others.

Sister Hua hurriedly shook her hand and explained: "No, no, we just live near the Golden Islands and are not pirates, besides, have you ever seen a pirate like us?" ”

"Then how come you have relatives on Paradise Island?"

"That's a long story, a few people from Paradise Island strayed into the waters of the Golden Isles and were almost captured by the pirates, but fortunately I saved them quickly. During this time, the pirates were furious and constantly harassed the islanders living on the nearby islands, and we couldn't stand it, so we thought about going to Paradise Island to take refuge with the few people we had saved. Sister Hua lied, her face was not red and her heart was not beating, and she was serious and true.

"But you just said to go to your relatives!" Soros took a step closer and said in a cold tone: "Although I am a merchant ship, there are many tools for interrogation on board, you better stop talking nonsense!" ”

"I didn't talk nonsense, after we saved those people, one of them was a coveted old lady named Han Dong, oh no, I fell in love with my beauty, and I had to be my man under the stalking, I didn't directly agree at the time, I just said to think about it again, and now we are forced to take refuge in refuge, and I can only sacrifice myself, so why can't I say that I have to take refuge in relatives."

"Nonsense!" Before Soros could speak, Chu Yi on the side preemptively said, "Han Dong is the manager of the Paradise Island Winery, will he take a fancy to you?" ”

When Sister Hua heard that the woman in front of her knew my name, her heart immediately felt empty, she never expected that a merchant ship she met casually on the sea also knew me, but the lie had already been told, and at this time she had to hold on, she said with little confidence: "What's wrong with me?" I'm just a little sloppy, and if I change into your clothes, it will be beautiful. If you don't believe me, when you get to Paradise Island, you can ask Han Dong and see if he recognizes me! ”
