Chapter 141: Separate Calculations
After knowing that the bear had an accident early in the morning, the whole process was full of twists and turns, sometimes desperate and sometimes unexpected, although it was only a short half a day, but I felt like it had been a few spring and autumn.
Tina's voluntary surrender is really beyond my expectations, I can't think of any other possibilities other than the reason why she and Big Bear are true love, and I can't imagine how Big Bear will face this result after he comes out, then my grandson may go crazy.
After hurrying to the boulder camp, everyone was also discussing the matter of the big bear, and after seeing me, they quickly asked me how the situation was, and I gave a general account of the whole experience in the morning, and everyone was stunned.
Uncle Wei lit a cigarette and smashed his mouth and said, "Could it be that we really misunderstood Tina before?" Did the girl really repent later? If it weren't for that, it really wouldn't make sense for her to take the initiative to stand up for the bear? ”
I said, "I think the same way, but I'm not 100% sure, why Tina did this is not the most urgent need to know at the moment, we now have to think about how the big bear will react when he comes out and knows that Tina will take the blame for him, I think there is a good chance that the grandson will make some impulsive moves." ”
"That's very likely, he could have broken with us for her before, and now that Tina has taken the blame for him, then he is more likely to do something else without hesitation." Sister Hongmei also has the same concerns as me.
After discussing for a long time, everyone reached an agreement, and on the day Da Xiong came out, Uncle Wei and I and the bearded man first coaxed him back to the camp, and then found a way to force him to stay in the camp, as long as he didn't go out, no matter how much trouble he made, at least he wouldn't cause new trouble.
On Duke Jackson's ship at the Island Pier, Sandro carefully reported to Jackson about the Big Bear, and Duke Jackson paced back and forth in the room, listening to his report.
"Lord Duke, there is something that my subordinates really don't understand." After the report, Sandro looked at Duke Jackson without saying a word, and asked cautiously after hesitating for a long time.
"What's not to understand?" Jackson asked rhetorically.
"Ever since we discovered Paradise Island, you have been paying special attention to Han Dong's gang, but after such a long time, judging from the summary of intelligence from all sides, they do have some unusual places, but apart from those unusual places, there is nothing else special, you first lent him money to open a winery, and then asked your subordinates to arrange people to monitor them, I really don't understand, what are you spending so much effort for?"
Duke Jackson looked at the shiny Sandro and said with a smile, "There are many things that I can't explain to you in detail right now, but one thing you have to understand is that there must be a purpose in what I do." Sandro, you've been following me for a few years, and I've always been very kind to you, and now that the whole Western world is in an eventful time, you and I have to be prepared to deal with it. ”
"Eventful? Do you mean the abolition of slavery? This is only being piloted on Paradise Island now, and maybe one day the Queen will change her mind, and even if slavery is completely abolished, it shouldn't affect you much, right? ”
Jackson smiled and shook his head, "You don't need to know that much now, just guard this paradise island as I tell you." By the way, is there any movement on James's side? ”
"The subordinates only know that he has a close relationship with the oriental woman beside Han Dong, but because that Long Xin'er and her subordinates are careful and careful, the subordinates can still obtain useful information for the time being."
"What about the birds?"
"Xiao Bird is relatively safe at the moment, and no one has suspected his identity yet, but Long Xin'er's secret may not even know Han Dong, so Xiao Bird can't find anything from Han Dong's body."
"Don't worry, how can you often stand by the river without getting your shoes wet, Long Xin'er will eventually show her feet, I want to see what these Orientals want to do."
"Lord Duke, my subordinates don't understand very well, didn't James also come up with your hand? Why don't you just go to him? ”
"Not everyone is as loyal as you, people's greed and desire are terrible, James didn't report to me as soon as Long Xin'er looked for him, he is no longer reliable."
"One more thing, Han Dong and they should have gone to the Golden Islands last time they went to sea, according to the information sent by Xiao Bird, they seem to have reached a trade agreement with those pirates, should we take care of this?"
"That kid has some skills, and he can actually make a deal with the pirates and pirates of the Golden Isles. You pretend not to know about this matter, I paid for him to build the winery, and if he became bigger and stronger, he would be able to pay back the money he owed me earlier. ”
"But Lord Duke, the laws of the Empire prohibit ...... with pirates," Sandro wanted to say something more, but swallowed back the words that came to his lips after seeing Jackson's face.
"The laws of the empire are the laws of the empire, and besides, do you have proof? If there is no evidence, how can we prove that they were in contact with pirates? Sandro, I hope you can understand that no matter how many forces are surging on this paradise island, and no matter what conspiracy they are engaged in, I only ask for one thing, paradise island must be under our control. ”
Sandro looked at the unfathomable Jackson and stopped talking, this old leader he had followed for many years made him more and more incomprehensible, but he was relieved to think about it, after all, he was a high-ranking imperial duke, and the angle from which people thought about problems must be different from people of his own status.
In the tobacco company next to the distillery, the newly appointed tobacco company manager glasses man also gathered several of his followers together, for his new identity, glasses man is quite satisfied, although the island cabinet officials are also considered civil servants of the empire, but after all, this is only the most remote overseas territory of the British Empire, if there are no other messy ideas, even if you sit in the position of the governor of the island, what can you do?
"Brother Yang, why did you say that Duke Jackson suddenly asked you to be the manager of this tobacco company?"
The man with glasses glanced at the boy who was talking, and asked coldly, "Why do you think I don't deserve this position?" ”
The boy who spoke hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that, I mean how could the Duke suddenly make this decision, after all, we didn't have any contact with him before?" ”
"Hmph, Duke Jackson, this old fox is not that simple, although I am not sure what his origin is, but what is certain is that he is not just the simple identity of the Duke of the Empire."
"So do you think the current situation is good or bad for us?"
"Of course it's advantageous, wasn't the biggest thing I lacked when I was a cabinet official before? Now that I am the manager of this tobacco company, I must be able to make money much faster than when I was a cabinet official, and as long as I have money, many things are much easier to do. ”
"What Brother Yang said makes sense, it's a pity that this tobacco company is not our own, if only it could be like the surname Han, it's a big deal to owe Duke Jackson a debt."
"Is it our own? Will Duke Jackson be able to stay on Paradise Island for the rest of his life? As soon as he leaves the tobacco company, won't I have the final say? Don't forget that I used to run a company, and I couldn't be better at making fake accounts, and with the same real profits, I can make the tobacco company make a dollar on its books, or I can make it lose a dollar. ”
