Chapter 483 The Rubber Plantation Dispute

On Biyun Island, also known as Greenfuna Island, Gao Youchang, the original owner of the rubber plantation, built a four-story apartment building for Zhongzhou people's staff and family members. The whole family of the Zhongzhou management he hired also moved here, because this apartment building is built on the bank of the blue sea lake, the scenery is extremely beautiful, and the sea view rooms are proper, and the rooms are very large, compared with theirs in Fairman. The urban environment is fine.

Most of Antigua’s area is a lake, but the area is too wide, more than 100 million square kilometers, more like an inland sea, but it is indeed fresh water, and the area is huge and unfathomable. Therefore, it also appears like an ocean in the sun the color of blue.

Lu Ming is now enjoying the beautiful view of the sea and lake in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the fourth floor of the apartment building.

The four-story apartment building is a long strip structure, and each floor has 6 suites of about [-] square meters, all of which have a structure of four bedrooms and two living rooms.

Even the room where Lu Ming is now, that is, the suite that Gao Youchang left for him before, is the same.

From the second to the fourth floors of the apartment building, fifteen people from Zhongzhou lived, including rubber plantation managers and technicians.

There are more than 20 security guards living on the first floor, those with families live together with those with families, and single people live with single people.

A 200-square-meter suite with four bedrooms and two living rooms accommodates four families. It may be a little crowded, but for these Zhongzhou security personnel, it is already an excellent living condition.

Of course, these hard-working and even desperate security guards belonged to the bottom of the Central Continent in Antigua, but compared to most of the Mitai people, they were the upper class.

Ge Gelun used the administrative division chart a hundred years ago, but he did not want the rubber plantation to pay taxes, but said that the rubber plantation is no problem to pay taxes for the state of Antigua, the ownership of Biyun Island, your sales contract we The Sandy Tribe also recognized it.

However, the Mitai people living on this island need to pay a "work fee" of one yuan per person every month, which is paid to the Shaye tribe.

Only Gao Youchang's manager was replaced. Of course, after the rubber plantation changed hands, Gao Youchang's manager voluntarily submitted a letter of resignation. He was also planning to leave Fairman and live in the Central Continent settlement.

Gao Taihe bowed slightly, "Ms. Britney, please give me more advice in the future."

"How many guns does the Shaye tribe have? Are there any small cannons?" Lu Ming asked with a smile.

Lu Ming smiled, "No."

Therefore, if the rubber plantation wants to maintain these workers, it can only bear part of the tax burden for them. Life in the rubber plantation, even if they do not work in the rubber plantation, running shops, hawkers, service industries, etc., is also a necessary part of maintaining the chain of life on the island, and they cannot be allowed to leave.

Gao Taihe shook his head, "I don't know about that, I heard that they have a lot of earthen guns and birds, and if you add them up, there must be two or three thousand firearms?" He looked at Lu Ming helplessly, "Boss, you don't really want to Have an armed conflict with them?"

Moreover, although rubber is a strategic material, the rubber plantation of more than 40 mu can be said to be quite large, which can fully meet the needs of Montenegro today. However, there are many rubber producing areas in the empire, and it is not easy to monopolize it, so there is no need to spend too much thought.

Therefore, if we talk about a family of four, with two husbands and two children, then we have to pay a head tax of 4 yuan a month, and almost all the money earned from the rubber plantation has to be handed over.

The island also nominally elects a mayor, but has been dominated by several elders of the tribe.

In fact, it is similar to a poll tax, and it is said to be collected from the Mitai families on Biyun Island, but these Mitai families are husbands and wives who are middle-aged laborers. On average, the monthly salary from the rubber plantation is two It's only four or five yuan, about 50 yuan a year, because there is still a sealing period, and there is no work, so they have no salary.

The security guard of the rubber plantation married a beautiful Mitai girl, who must have mixed blood genes.

The new manager of the rubber plantation that Lu Ming hired was Gao Taihe, and Chen Huanxing introduced him to a new elite in the management of the rubber plantation industry.

The Mitai people are pure-blooded natives with dark skin and nose, but after merging with foreign races, the chances of beautiful offspring are greatly increased.

The Mitai people on the streets of Fairman City, many handsome men and beautiful women, are actually of mixed blood, and their parents must have Western or Central African ancestry.

In fact, the rubber plantation on Biyun Island pays taxes directly to the state, but the administrative area is rather vague.

Over there, Britney took two steps lightly and said, "Gao Assistant, hello!" Facing Gao Taihe, she turned into that elegant lady again.

Thinking of Gao Taihe shaking his head, troubled times, what else can we say?

Mitai workers are so cheap, even cheaper than the Black Mountain miners before Lu Ming went.

Now Gao Taihe is standing next to Lu Ming. He is a standard successful professional manager in his 40s, dressed in suits and leather shoes, because he proposed that the new owner solve the troubles in the rubber plantation through Chen Huanxing or the investigation team, but the new owner disagreed. , so he was a little worried.

It used to be managed by the Shaye tribe, but that was a hundred years ago. At that time, there were not many residents on the island. After Biyun Island was developed into a rubber production area, the population gradually increased.

Lu Ming smiled. What Gao Taihe said naturally meant that the security team was only about [-] people, and the tribe was tens of thousands.

The Gade people are also a group of Westerners, but they are feuds with the Sophia people. The states they live in were originally poor areas, but now they have become rich states with extremely developed commerce and trade. Therefore, they are even more hostile to the Sophia people, and the Gade people like it. Doing business and operating capital is also regarded as the source of evil by the Sophia people.

Obviously, Gao Youchang did not trust any Mitai people, so the security team of more than 20 people was his real reliance to protect the rubber plantation. Even after the military coup in Ferman, Gao Youchang bought a light gun through some connections. Machine guns were provided to the security team, and as for the rifles, there was one for everyone.

Of course, Ge Gelun is a bit like a lion, obviously taxes and fees can be discussed again.

Lu Ming listened and nodded, "I understand."

Lu Ming stayed on, from managers, technicians to security personnel.

The largest island away from Biyun Island is called Sandy Island, where the Sandy tribe composed of tens of thousands of Mitai people lives.

The new boss, this is not ordinary, such a charming western lady, who is also knowledgeable, seems to have somehow become a slave of the new boss, this new boss, bold and reckless, is really not comparable to ordinary people.

Of course, I would not personally take care of such a small business as a rubber plantation. These ladies are also idle, and I will find something for them to do. They cannot raise rice worms. This Mrs. Britney has studied accounting and cooperated with Gao Taihe , belonging to the audit of his accounts.

However, the world has been in chaos recently, and many things are really hard to say. I heard that the newly independent Kingdom of Sophia invaded the state of the Gaed people and carried out a bloody massacre.

Therefore, in order to maintain the status quo, the tax burden of more than 2 yuan per month should naturally be paid by the owner of the rubber plantation.

Gao Taihe glanced at Lu Ming suspiciously, "A tribe like Shaye, as long as it is a man, can carry a gun to the battlefield, and traditionally, if there is a conflict between these tribes, if the males die, the women and children will die too." They will all fight."

Some security guards married pretty Mitai girls as their wives.

I don't know why this Mrs. Britney didn't report it. According to the law, except for the Nanyang black barbarians, other ethnic groups are not allowed to keep slaves.

"Boss, don't underestimate Ge Gelun. The Mitai people are different from our traditions. Although the man named Ge Ge Lun is a young man, I found out that he is the successor chosen by an elder of the Shaye tribe. He has a high status. of."

Glancing at Britney standing not far away, Lu Ming waved to her, and smiled at Gao Taihe: "Come on, let me introduce you, this is Mrs. Britney. From now on, the rubber plantation business, you will send a telegram to report to her."

Of course, most of the mixed races live in metropolises like Fairman. Many Mitai people in the metropolis have abandoned their traditions and have a complex of worshiping Westerners and Central Africans, while the tribes on the islands in the sea and lake are relatively closed and peaceful. Old fashioned.

"Where are our security personnel and machine guns?" Lu Ming asked Gao Taihe with a sudden smile.

In fact, there were not so many security guards in the first place. After the military coup and the attack on Chinatown, Gao Youchang temporarily hired more security guards.

A few days ago, a young man named Ge Gelun from the tribe landed on the island with a dozen strong men armed with guns, demanding that the rubber plantation workers pay taxes to Shaye Town.

He couldn't help but glance at the mature western beauty in the dark red tutu dress. Such a beautiful and noble lady has become a slave, needless to say?He must have been violated in various ways, so he could only bear it silently, with tears swallowed into his stomach.

Thinking of the beauty of it, Gao Taihe felt hot in his heart, and quickly turned his eyes away, not daring to think about it again.
However, the beautiful Western woman was saluting to her new owner, when she pulled up her huge skirt, her silver high heels and beautiful white silk feet were looming.

Gao Taihe's heart was pounding even more, and he smiled wryly, what's going on?How did you become so superior?However, these things are really not something I can think about. Just look at the attitude of this Mrs. Britney towards her, she is still so condescending.

However, if you can work with her, it is really pleasant to think about it. Taking care of the rubber plantation by yourself is also helping her to invite pets from the new owner. I hope it can really help her and let her see herself in her eyes , No longer completely ignoring oneself as a dead thing, that is a good kind of spiritual enjoyment.

　It's better to update at [-] o'clock, the sixth day should be able to resume two updates
