Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 103 [102] I'm a coward

The next day, when Pharaoh sobered up.There was no one in Jonah's villa. He didn't even remember how he got back to his residence from David Liang's restaurant yesterday.

I saw a note left in the living room.

Written by Zhou Li'an.

Because this is Chinese.

"Wardfake? Caribbean vacation without me???"

Old Wang felt abandoned at first, and then vaguely felt that something was wrong... He vaguely remembered that when he drank a lot last night, he heard something in a daze.

"Cayero wants to see Zhou Sheng? What the hell! I must be hallucinating from drinking too much!"

……

The Caribbean region includes 37 member states and non-independent islands, including the familiar Cuba, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, and Haiti; there are also less familiar French and Dutch islands.

Once, a group of Indians named Arawak lived here.

Around the 14th century, it was invaded by another group of tribes exiled from South America.

Legend has it that this group of exiles killed the men of the Arawak tribe, fed on human flesh, and took their women as wives and concubines, and thus reproduced the Caribbean cannibals in later literary works.

It is impossible to test the specifics. The former aborigines perished due to diseases after the colonists landed. They have no language and no history.

It's still an old problem, and I suffered from being uneducated.

The balance of this island area to the future is of great significance.

Probably just like the attitude of the United States towards Cuba in the present, the Florida Peninsula is only more than 170 kilometers away from the shortest straight-line distance on the sea from Cuba.

If calculated in Miami, it is only a little over 200 kilometers.

No one wants the fountain in their back garden to be occupied by others.

Looking at the entire American territory, its commercial and strategic significance...

Well known.

Before the opening of the Panama Canal, shipping goods from the east coast of the United States to the west coast required a detour around Cape Horn, the southernmost tip of South America, with a total distance of more than 25000 kilometers.

After the opening of the Panama Canal, it only needs to pass through the canal at the junction of Central and South America.

Then ships sailing from the east coast of the United States must pass through the Gulf of Mexico, enter the Caribbean Sea, and pass through Cuba.

It involves shipping supplies, a huge business project operated by a port terminal, not to mention its strategic significance.

Of course, the United States first wanted to take the region into its pocket, so it supported relevant forces and carried out oppressive plantation development in Cuba.

It's just that he claims to be a man of destiny, is too arrogant, and is finally overthrown, and he is out of control.

With the lessons learned from the past, Zhou Li'an certainly couldn't do this.

Therefore, there is the dogma of 'under balance, all are the people'.

early morning.

The group took off at Juárez Airport, first flew to the capital Mexico City, and then met Juan's nephew, Salvador, who came to greet him.

Transfer to their private charter plane and fly to Jamaica.

Finally, I took a small fixed-wing plane and finally arrived at the destination, an unknown private island.

El Salvador expressed his apologies for the exhausted journey, "Mr. Zhou, the location of the island cannot be disclosed, so the airline's chartered flight cannot be allowed to fly directly from Mexico City..."

"But Uncle Juan said that it won't be long before Cajero Group will have its own private business jet, which can take off and land at any time in the future."

These words revealed a bit of sadness.

Oh, the famous Cajero Group doesn't even have its own private jet now?

Of course the drug lord is very rich, but the money does not belong to him alone, only people above the middle level have to pay dividends to work for him.

The landlord's family has no food left.

When you get off the plane, the first thing you see is the European-style palace building on the island mountain. From the appearance, it is inhumane.

However, after getting in the car, the car took them to the beach.

A yacht is moored at the Independence Dock.

When David Liang and Jonah were about to ask questions, the latter saw Qianqian on the pier and shouted in surprise: "Patricia!!"

I saw a girl whom I hadn't seen for two months standing beside the yacht.

At the same time, Juan finally appeared and waved to them.

Salvador said: "Mr. Zhou, please."

"Actually, you are invited this time. Mr. Cajero and Uncle Juan have prepared a gift for you."

Zhou Li'an smiled politely, but to maintain a decent face.

He has no need for worldly material.

Unless Cajero and Juan now say that there is a munitions production line that they want to give to themselves, that will be really exciting, and the rest... can only be said to be better than nothing.

Several people walked towards the pier, and Juan sent a hug, "Mr. Zhou, you have worked hard all the way! I am sorry for making you run so far, let's go to the destination first!"

Zhou Li'an glanced at the villa on the island, "Isn't it here?"

Juan smiled and said: "This is the mansion of my father-in-law. Of course, tonight's dinner will also be held here, but before that, I want to take you to the next door to the Huishi Island..."

He pointed to the sea, and the outline of a small island could be vaguely seen with the naked eye.

"Mr. Zhou, that island is a gift from my father-in-law and I!"

Give me the island?

Zhou Li'an was quite dumbfounded.

Do you know that in another parallel time and space, the whole of North America will be mine... I will have the whole world in the future.

This feeling is very subtle.

Just like you own several sets of courtyard houses on the second ring road, and after getting married, the old father-in-law and mother-in-law will marry a set of two-bedroom and one living room in the suburbs of Beijing...

The value is indeed high, but the significance is not great.

Seeing Zhou Li'an's calm expression, Cayero was taken aback...

He couldn't figure out why Mr. Zhou looked unhappy.

David Liang, who was clearly behind him, was almost hungry.

Only, El Salvador suddenly thought of something, and while Zhou Li'an was looking at the distant island in a daze, he hurried over and whispered——

"Uncle, there may be something wrong."

Juan: "What do you mean?"

Salvador was also a little erratic, but he still opened his mouth: "This should not meet their regulations..."

"Corruption...is shameful!!"

"It goes against their personal beliefs."

sizzle.

Juan took a breath on the spot, and said anxiously, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I, I didn't expect it, uncle!" Salvador said that he didn't take the blame.

On the other side, David Liang finally couldn't help but opened his mouth and asked with a smile: "Mr. Juan, is that island really given to Mr. Zhou?"

This time the scene was a little awkward.

Juan didn't know how to answer, should he send it?Or not?

Fortunately, Zhou Li'an still showed a smile, and asked, "Is it convenient to resupply on the island? Is there a place to live on it? Where's the airport?"

Hearing him ask in detail.

The uncle and nephew breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and said, "These two islands were sold in bundles and were bought by us five years ago. There are material ships coming to transport materials, and the transportation is very convenient. "

"After the development, there are docks for ships to dock, but the aircraft can only provide helicopters to take off and land, and fixed-wing and business jets need to take off and land on my father-in-law's island."

"As for where to live..."

"Mr. Zhou, why don't you go and see for yourself when we arrive?" Juan saw that Zhou Li'an didn't explicitly refuse, but gradually smiled. He was completely relieved, and even closed the door.

"Let's go then."

Several people boarded the yacht and set off.

After Jonah and his daughter ended their relationship, they realized what had happened, "Is this island going to be given to Mr. Zhou? How much is it worth?"

These words just scratched the itch.

The gift giver is most afraid that the recipient does not know the value of the gift.

Of course Juan would not speak, and El Salvador did it for him: "The island is not expensive to buy, but it has invested a lot in development and construction, but it is also a form of consumption to realize."

When it comes to realizing the form of consumption, everyone knows it well.

The only ones who put "Lizard Money" in such a beautiful and refined way are this group of powerful members of the gang.

The two islands seem to be very close, and the yacht walked unhurriedly for more than half an hour before landing.

The size of the island is similar to the previous one.

The difference is the environment style, surrounded by cliffs and reefs, there is only a gap on the south bank, there is a beach less than [-] meters long, and a pier is set up.

The entire island is like a boulder floating on the sea, which is completely different from the common Caribbean island style, a bit cold and hard.

However, after development and construction, when everyone stepped on the wooden stairs to a high place, they saw a 4-story villa building with a very modern and minimalist style, hidden in the island jungle.

"Oh my god! And the sky pool!"

"The villa is surrounded by glass curtain wall structures... There is also a slide, my God, I just wanted to say that this island has no coastline, it is too monotonous, but now you can swim in the suspended pool in the tropical rainforest, here It's heaven!"

David Liang exclaimed.

To be honest, Zhou Li'an was also surprised.

When I got off the boat, I felt that the island was too old. After landing on the island, the jungle on the island is lush. The villa in the center is a collision between modern technology and nature.

Zhou Li'an asked for the first time: "Ju An, did you spend a lot of effort here?"

Talking about money is vulgar, and "hard work" reflects sincerity.

Sure enough, Juan was very pleased with what he heard, and his cheeks flushed with satisfaction, "It has been developed and built for five full years, and my father-in-law's mansion has never been used for so long. He has lived in it for a year and a half!"

"Only last month, the construction of Huishi Island was really completed and it was ready to move in; Mr. Zhou, you should have seen that the island is high around and low in the middle. The people from the island trading company told me that it should be a seabed. Volcanoes rise to the surface of the sea after crustal movement."

"Because of the terrain, there is natural fresh water storage here, and there is actually a small lake under the villa that accumulates rainwater, which is why I dared to build a sky pool on the villa."

"The electricity on the island relies on wind power and fuel generators. The former can almost meet daily consumption, while the fuel storage can be used for more than two months, but in fact there are supply ships coming to replenish it every week."

"I have already evacuated all the people who took care of the island and the villa..."

"Mr. Zhou, you can rest assured to move in here."

Zhou Li'an was not embarrassed at first.

After all, the last time Juan was given free gold worth nearly 500 million US dollars, but compared to this island and the villa, it was several times worse.

It is conservatively estimated that the cost of this set of luxury houses will be more than 2000 million.

In terms of 1 million yuan per ton of gold, I delivered 6300 tons last time, and Cajero accounted for 2% of the shares, which just offset the value of this island villa.

It is full of sincerity.

However, Juan is not an idiot.

Everyone entered the villa for a tour, but he did not hand over the island's certification documents for a long time, without mentioning a word.

The so-called "giving away" is a bit like borrowing, at least before Zhou Li'an has not paid them enough benefits, I am afraid that he will not be so willing to "give away" the villa.

The other island, which is 30 minutes away by boat, is full of guards from the Cajero Group.

To put it simply, in this kind of place, it is simply a feng shui treasure land for killing people.

At the end of the tour, Cajero reminded: "It's almost time, it's time for us to go back to eat."

Zhou Li'an nodded, showing some anticipation.

But as soon as he left the gate of the villa, before leaving, he deliberately set the ringtone of his mobile phone, took it out and said: "Sorry, I have an important call to answer, please wait a moment."

After that, he walked to the garden on the side and went around to the back of the villa.

Everyone waited at the door.

Salvador leaned next to Juan, "Uncle, do you want me to go and have a look?"

Juan also frowned, a little worried.

Both he and Cayero are on the wanted list, and the location of the island is very sensitive...

However, if Zhou Li'an wanted to harm him, he would have done it long ago.

There is no need to wait until now, let alone deliver 2 tons of gold as a bait. It is entirely possible to wait for this trip and then disclose their whereabouts to the relevant departments.

Not to mention, the joint venture company with the official has already started operation.

Just to destroy the Cajero Group?This cost is too expensive.

"Mr. Zhou is my closest friend, and I must give my friends the greatest trust and respect!!"

Salvador nodded silently, no more words.

Zhou Li'an walked to the backyard.

The courtyard is an elevated garden, isolated from the lower floor, not far from the freshwater lake, and there is a small white sandy beach.

As Juan said, all people on the island were evacuated.

He has the sincerity to send the island, but it depends on when to send it...

At first, Zhou Li'an certainly didn't care. After looking at the structure of the island, "There are no landings on all four sides of the cliff, and there is only one pier gap. It is very easy to do security protection...it is very ideal as a base."

for this island.

Zhou Li'an already has a corresponding use.

So, with a wave of his hand, he instantly took out the gold reserve in [system portable space], about 4 tons, exactly as he said before, the amount of 1 ton per month will continue to be released for half a year.

After doing all this, he turned around and returned, the whole process took no more than two minutes.

Everyone felt strange seeing him come back.

An important phone call that ended so hastily?

But no one expressed doubts.

Step out of the jungle along a paved road available for driving, come to the pier where the island enters and exits, and board the yacht to return.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the small island where Cajero was located, and took a sightseeing shuttle bus to the hilltop palace.

Ignoring the gun-toting guards around and Cajero's status as a drug lord, this island is no different from any tourist attraction.

There are even bars, accommodation cabins, and a management center for diving and surfing equipment under the island.

Juan said: "As long as you are a true friend of the Cajero Group, you can go to the island to play. The deputy of the Mining Department of Chihuahua State is a frequent visitor on the island... If Mr. Zhou is not sensitive, he would have come to visit today. of."

In the end, they still believed in the big cake drawn by Zhou Li'an, and did not dare to expose his identity rashly.

Zhou Li'an smiled without saying a word, waiting for the car to go up the mountain.

In front of the palace gate, an outdoor awning has been set up, and someone has started to clean up the dining table, and there is a bonfire beside it, roasting suckling pigs and lambs.

At the same time, an old man with a golden cane in front of the door is eye-catching.

Next to the old man was a well-maintained lady with a very hot figure, wearing a long purple wrap dress, who came forward to kiss Juan and looked at Zhou Li'an.

"This is Ola, my wife."

"And... I will introduce to you my father-in-law, the founder of the Cayero Group, Cayero Augusta...Mr. Lopez."

A long list of middle names makes people dizzy.

Zhou Li'an stepped forward with a smile on his face, and gave a hug to the old man.

When the two separated, Cajero looked at him with sharp eyes and said without hesitation, "Mr. Zhou, I heard that you are a doctor? You have been a resident in Oregon, USA for three years.

My health has not been very good, I hope you can give me a checkup after the meal, I don't trust the doctors outside, I trust my friends more! "

Zhou Li'an smiled.

and so.

Cajero digs deeper into his own identity.

At the beginning, Zhou Li'an only told Juan that he was a doctor; but now, Cajero revealed all his working experience in the hospital.

Zhou Li'an also knew that it was easy for him to obtain his information.

The Cajero Group will definitely be more considerate when it cooperates with itself.

So now the question is...

How did a small resident doctor turn into a big man with an amazing background who can spill 2 tons of gold at will.

This problem is not fatal, but it directly affects Zhou Li'an's primary and secondary status in the cooperative relationship.

Cajero has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he will never be easily deceived by a small guy. 20 tons of gold and 100 tons of gold are two concepts.

This wealth is enough to turn anyone's face anytime anywhere.

It's a pity that Zhou Li'an was never a little guy——

"Cajero?" He whispered, shaking his head impatiently, "To be honest, today's first meeting, you gave me a very bad impression... even, a little disgusting!!!"
