Archduke Ferdinand did not stay in the manor for too long. Half a month later, he left after receiving a secret letter.
Tiffany cried when she said goodbye. After her father's carriage drove away, she wiped her tears and threw herself into Lin Qiming's arms with a smile, muttering
"Oh my God, my dad is finally gone. If he doesn’t leave, I’ll go crazy!"
Lin Xianyin covered her mouth and laughed secretly, but she also knew how difficult it was for her little sister.
Ever since Archduke Ferdinand moved into the villa, Tiffany has been happy to stay alone in an empty room. She knows that her father’s strength is too terrifying. He can’t hide anything within a thousand meters. Naturally, she is embarrassed to live a shameless life with Lin Qiming, lest it be awkward for father and daughter to meet.
I thought the old man would leave after staying for three or five days, but he endured it for half a month before leaving. No wonder Tiffany was so excited after her father left.
"Don't say that about your father-in-law. He doesn't live here for nothing."
"The gifts from the local vampires alone are worth at least 200,000 pounds, and that's just counting the value of cash, jewelry, and gold. There are also several chemical plants, steel plants, gunpowder plants, and other factories, which are worth even more."
"I think, if he comes once every three to five years, we will be rich!"
Lin Qiming also felt unhappy when his father-in-law was still alive. In the past, they could live together and fly together, but it was not comfortable to go without someone for half a month.
And even if he was happy with Lin Xianyin, he had to restrain himself and not be too presumptuous. If he made too much noise, the look in his father-in-law's eyes the next day would be hard to bear.
Tiffana clenched her fists and punched them a few times. She said angrily in a tender voice
"Okay, you big bad guy, you are not the one who is feeling sad, right?"
"You only come to live here once every three to five years. Do you think my dad is a lucky cat?"
She angrily hit him a few times, but she didn't use too much strength, just treating it as a flirtation between lovers.
Lin Xianyin walked over to playfully pull her hand and smiled and said
"That's right, Brother Lin is a bad guy. Let's leave him alone for half a month so that he can see but not eat."
"When he understands your feelings, he won't dare to say these sarcastic words!"
Tiffana nodded in agreement at first, but then she came to her senses and stretched out her hand to scratch the little sister's itchy skin.
"Okay, your sister Xianyin, are you punishing him or me?"
"Look at me, I'm so ticklish, I'll let you fool me again!"
Lin Xianyin laughed so hard that tears almost came out of her eyes, and she begged for mercy again and again
""No, Tiffany, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it next time!"
Seeing that Tiffany was not giving in, she also stood up to resist.
The two women entangled together, like two beautiful snakes playing, which made Lin Qiming angry. He picked up one of them with one hand and carried him on his shoulder, then turned and rushed into the bedroom.
The wind was whistling and the rain was cutting. Sometimes the wind was strong and the rain was heavy, and sometimes the wind stopped and the rain stopped. The offense and defense changed from day to night...
The next morning, the sun rose and sprinkled thousands of feet of golden light.
When Lin Qiming got up to wash, the two women were still sleeping peacefully with spring feelings between their eyebrows.
He changed his clothes, had breakfast, and called James Howlett to ride out of the manor together. He had to go there in person to transfer the factory sent by the local vampires.
The director of the Edmonton Industrial Bureau personally greeted him, accompanied him throughout the process of handling the property transfer, and personally handed the changed business license to him.
Needless to say, this director must be He was a blood servant of a local vampire, otherwise he would not have received them so warmly and handled all the small matters of property transfer personally.
Lin Qiming took the new license plate and went to various factories to meet with senior executives and worker representatives.
After a busy day, he finally took over these factories completely. After the inspection, he was quite satisfied. The factory buildings and production lines were 90% new, and the senior executives and worker representatives were quite obedient. If they were managed well, the income might be higher than the farms and ranches of the manor combined.
If the director of the Industry Bureau of Edmonton was courteous enough to shock the big manor owners and big businessmen who knew the news, soon after the news that the Director General of Taxation of Ghana had specially ordered the Lin's Manor and those factories to be exempted from taxes for five years spread like wildfire, all walks of life in Ghana were shocked.
Since then , Later, with the support of preferential tax policies, strong financial resources, extremely powerful military force, and a mysterious background, the Lin's Manor embarked on the fast track of development. The scale of the industry continued to expand, and the pace of involvement in emerging industries never stopped.
Lin Qiming's name is now famous in Ghana, and he is more famous than the newly appointed French governor.
It can be said that as long as he takes a fancy to the land and industry, basically few people dare to grab it, and the original owner will not sell it at a loss and shout that Mr.
Lin is righteous.
Huge wealth was gathered in the hands of one person in a short period of time.
The industries in Alberta Province were either completely changed to Lin's name, or half of the shares were named Lin.
So much so that the businessmen who later did business in Alberta Province, as well as the owners of farms and ranches, all changed color when they talked about his name, fearing that they would be in trouble if they said something wrong.
offended him.
What's worse, when the mayor of Edmonton takes office, or when the councillors are replaced, no matter who comes to power, they have to go to the Lin's Manor to pay their respects. Otherwise, let alone making further progress in official positions, it is hard to say whether they can continue to be officials smoothly.
With the smooth development of the industry, Lin Qiming naturally puts more energy on other aspects.
Under his guidance, military scientists in the secret military factory have developed many weapons that are ahead of the times, such as automatic rifles, breech-loading rifled cannons, manual Gatling machine guns and other firearms and artillery.
However, what he cares most about is one thing, he must help Lin Xianyin find a treasure or artifact to delay aging as soon as possible. As the days go by, fine lines appear at the corners of her eyes, and the anxiety in her heart becomes more serious.
On this day, Lin Qiming was flipping through financial statements in the study, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and a familiar voice rang out.
"Young Master, I have brought back the person you are looking for. Do you think it is convenient for you to meet him?"
Lin Qiming's heart moved, he put down the financial report in his hand, walked over and opened the door.
Li Luoda stood in front of the door with a happy face, followed by a middle-aged white man holding a pipe, wearing a brown linen shirt and black trousers. His skin was red and dead skinned, and he looked like a person who often worked outdoors in the wind and sun.
"This is Ald Amundsen, the explorer who is said to have seen the floating island!"
After introducing the middle-aged white man behind him, Li Luoda stepped aside.
Lin Qiming stepped forward and extended his hand, calmly introducing himself.
"Hello, Alder, I am Lin Qiming, you can also call me by my English name Venus (which means Morning Star)"
"I came to you to confirm that you really saw the floating island and landed on the island to see the elves with ageless faces. Are you sure you didn't hallucinate?"
For several years, he had not found a way to prolong Qingmei's life. He had no choice but to collect some anecdotes, especially some stories that claimed to have been to mysterious islands or caves and seen things that did not belong to the human world. He sent people to meet with the protagonists of these stories, hoping to get confirmation from them.
As long as it can be confirmed that the things are true, Lin Qiming will send people to go back to the past with them to find the rumored mysterious islands or caves to see if they can get a way to delay aging.
However, most of them are made up by the parties involved, and a small number of them are wrong perceptions after hallucinations under various circumstances. I just don't know which one this explorer belongs to.
Ald Amundsen took a deep puff of his cigarette and blew a few smoke rings leisurely.
He looked quite relaxed and didn't seem nervous or guilty at all.
"Mr. Venus, forget it, I'll just call you Mr. Lin. Your English name reminds me of Venus, which is not a good feeling. No one wants the perfect goddess in their image to become a man."
"I can tell you with certainty that I must have seen and climbed the island, and I saw the elves with my own eyes. But unfortunately, that is not a place for a mortal like me to go. When I woke up the next day, I couldn't see the island anymore. It disappeared out of thin air."
Lin Qiming didn't notice that his heartbeat and breathing changed suddenly. This is a subconscious reaction of many people when they lie.
But this does not mean that what he said is necessarily true. It is also possible that he has brainwashed himself after talking for a long time. Whether it is true or not depends on whether he can find the mysterious island again.
"I will give you a large sum of money and arrange the best ships and sailors. Alder, all you have to do is find the mysterious island, and leave the rest to my guards!"
"You better not lie to me, or you will regret living in this world!"
After saying that, he took out a stack of large pounds and put it in Ald Amundsen's hand. The latter's eyes instantly sharpened, and he couldn't wait to smell the smell on the banknotes.
"Praise God, you are such a generous employer, I will definitely find the mysterious island!"
"Over the years, I have been to Indo, Egypt and Paraguay, and helped many employers find what they wanted. You can trust my professionalism."
When talking about his past, Ald Amundsen became excited.
Lin Qiming nodded slightly, looked at him playfully and smiled.
"Haha, I hope so. Li Luoda, take him down to rest."
"Tomorrow, let Dongfang Xun take 50 guards to protect him as he goes to Vancouver to hand over the expedition ship I prepared for him. I have already told the shipyard there. When they see my seal
, they will hand over the ship and the sailors to them."As he said this, he handed over the sealed letter with a unique seal on the letter paper in the envelope.
Li Luoda took it respectfully and walked downstairs with Ald Amundsen. He knew what the young leader meant. He sent people not only for protection but also for surveillance. If it was confirmed that the mysterious island was a lie, he would also play the role of executioner and torture the liar who dared to deceive the young leader.
"I hope this guy is not lying, time flies by and beauty fades easily!"
