Negotiations with Quentin Nick went well. Ford Benjamin paid only $ 100,000, plus the pledge to help the Bahamas expel the pirates. From the Governor's Mansion of the Bahamas, he obtained a large Ina with an area of 1681 square kilometers. Ownership of Gua Island.
Remember, it is just "expulsion", not even extinction. People's territorial consciousness is so weak in this era.
What surprised Mr. Li Mu was that Quentin Nick also received praise from Lord Viscount Swaffham for this deal. The Viscount Lord who did not come to Baha at all praised Quentin Nick for doing a good business. After all, ten years ago, the United States only bought Alaska from the Russians for only 7.2 million US dollars. Alaska has an area of nearly 1.72 million square kilometers. Compared with stupid Russians, Quentin Nick is simply a born trade. Good hand.
This is really a joy, after all, Li Mu is also very satisfied with the transaction. The island of Great Inagua has excellent natural conditions and is suitable for expansion into more than ten bays. The island has a flat terrain and fertile land. It only requires simple development and supply. Over a hundred thousand people have no problems living, and can become another permanent base for Panamanian companies in the Caribbean.
Of course, considering the British government's hostility towards the Steed Group, Quentin Nick requested that the name of the Panamanian company not appear on the contract.
This is not a problem at all, so the name of the company appearing on the contract is called "Bahamas Security Company", and the place of registration is in Nassau, Bahamas. The company manager is even a Mars Fremont British, even if the contract You don't have to worry about getting wrong when you take it to London.
"The Bahamas company is different from the Panama company. Since there are two companies with no affiliation in name, then we will operate according to the two companies. Are you OK? Can you draw enough manpower?" Li Mu simply will be wrong, simply Taking the Bahamas company as a business to run can meet the needs of the Commonwealth countries.
The rise of the Panamanian company has made people fully aware of the potential of this industry. At the same time, because of the relationship between the Panamanian company and the Steed Group, it is destined that the Panamanian company cannot get orders from the Commonwealth countries, but this gap will not last forever. At this point, there will definitely be new companies to fill the gap.
There are so many mistakes. The Bahamas company happens to be in the Bahamas, a Commonwealth Territory. This leaves more room for Li Mu to operate. Maybe one day, the Panamanian company and the Bahamian company will be employed by both parties at the same time, becoming the battlefield. Opponent, think about that scene--
Maybe when the punches will be used to determine the outcome.
"Manpower is not a problem. In fact, Cuba has been disarming in the past two years. Many of our brothers have been forced to leave the army. Some of them have become accustomed to military life. The Bahamian company should meet their needs." Li Fei for the Bahamas The company's prospects are very promising.
Relying on the support of the Americans to drive away the Spaniards, Cuba now has a profound understanding that to maintain national independence, it is not necessary to maintain a strong armed force, as long as the American thigh is tightly held.
The existence of the base in Guantanamo also gave the United States of Cuba enough confidence. Last year, at the American Independence Centennial Exhibition, Sylvester went to the United States to participate in the opening ceremony and signed a contract with Ulysses S. Grant, then President of the United States. The agreement, in which the United States promised to provide military guarantees for Cuba's independence. Subsequently, the United States of Cuba began mass disarmament. According to Silvester's plan, Cuba will eventually lay off most of its troops, only in the capital. Havana retains an army division.
Because of the intensity of disarmament, Chinese troops that have made outstanding contributions to Cuba's independence cannot be spared. Before disarmament, about 10,000 Chinese served in the Cuban army. These Chinese will eventually have to take off their military uniforms, and there will definitely be some of them. Not suitable for life after leaving the army, the emergence of the Bahamas Company just solved this problem.
"Very well, to get Mars to work as soon as possible, at least to ensure that the Bahamas company has a regiment, and pay attention to the development of the army. Once an order is received, a regiment can be expanded into a division or even two divisions at any time." Li Mu always It is a big deal. A regiment is just the basic establishment. Do n’t forget that this is South America. The Bahamas company will definitely receive a lot of orders. It has been receiving the kind of soft hands. Both divisions are estimated to be unable to meet the demand.
Until the 21st century, politics in South America could not be considered stable. The intricate colonial forces and ethnic contradictions here have laid countless hidden dangers for the endless war. Looking at the current Panamanian company, we know that since defeating the Colombian army, it is powerful After maintaining the independence of Panama, the Panamanian company has received several orders, including even from Colombia. This is really, Li Mu did not know what to say, I have seen Huagan Ge as a jade, but have not seen Hua so fast.
What's more, don't forget what Li Mu ’s nickname is. "Armor dealers" are not philanthropists. Even if there is no war, arms dealers will create wars, thus creating a steady stream of profits for the Steed Weapons Company, so there is no need to worry about no business. Instead, The thing to worry about is not being able to take all the orders.
"That Englishman-always feels untrustworthy." Li Fei remained vigilant against Mars. It is normal for non-ethnic people.
"Don't worry, Mars is only responsible for the company's operations, not responsible for personnel and finance, and has no real power. The company is our people from top to bottom except Mars. Actually Mars is just a mascot. We need this. Let alone dispel the doubts of the white people. "Li Mu has been extremely skilled, from Ryukyu to Japan to Panama, and now it is Bahamas' turn.
Regarding the issue of "loyalty", there are exceptions to everything. The Chinese have a glorious history of 5,000 years, and there are endless traitors and traitors in the history, not to mention whiter people who are paler in history. As far as Li Mu knows, The Qing Dynasty now employs a large number of white people. Taking the Beiyang Marine Division in the future as an example, during another Sino-Japanese War in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Marine Division was completely annihilated in the naval battle and heroically died during the battle. Not only are the loyal soldiers of the Beiyang Marine Division, there are also many high-paid foreign officers, not only Germans, but also British.
The Steed Group now also employs many white people, especially senior management, most of whom are white. Since the establishment of the Steed Group for so many years, only a few people have experienced problems, and most of them have maintained a high degree of professionalism. Give Li Mu more confidence.
To put it bluntly, white employees may not be loyal to the Chinese-sponsored Junma Group, but white employees will be loyal to their salaries and jobs, so as long as Junma Group is as strong as ever, then Li Mu will naturally gain the loyalty of white employees. They are not conflicting.
"Well, I will make people stare at him anyway, and Dalang them. What does this" expulsion "mean?" Li Fei kept his opinion and did not quite understand the twists and turns of the contract.
"It means that Dalang can have a period of vacation. The length of the vacation depends on the specific situation. If Dalang can't rest, they can go to the Bahamas to work, but if a pirate is required on the sea, then Dalai Lang they can resume their old business at any time. "Li Mu didn't say anything to death. Since pirates have such a large role, they must not be easily given up.
Quentin Nick still underestimates the shamelessness of "arms traffickers". Perhaps, according to Quentin Nick, as long as the pirates are expelled from the Bahamas, everything will be fine.
In fact, this is not the case at all. Quentin Nick is destined to be passive in this regard. Even if the contract states that it is "destroyed", it will not change the status quo. After all, the ancient profession of pirates has been to the 21st century. None have disappeared, but now in the 19th century, even if it is not a "golden age" of pirates, at least it is a "silver age" or "black iron age" or something, how could it be easily destroyed.
In fact, after coming to the Bahamas, Li Mu realized how chaotic South America was in this era. It can be said that Li Mu could replicate the entire process of Cuba's original independence in all South American countries as long as Li Mu was willing. Become the public enemy of the white world, so Li Mu did not dare to act rashly.
However, Li Mu did not dare. After all, some people dared. In early December, just before Li Mu was preparing to return to New York, Cole, the general manager of the San Diego Investment Company, brought a stranger to visit Li Mu.
Cole did a good job at Santiago Investment Company. Since taking office, Cole has focused on cleaning up poor assets left by Edward Burent. Although the financial statements of Santiago Investment Company are not good for some time, but Three months later, San Diego Investment Corporation began to enter the right track and entered a period of rapid growth again. So far, the profit of San Diego Investment Corporation has been 2.5 times that of last year, which made Li Mu very satisfied with Cole.
"Mr. Rim, please allow me to introduce to you, this is Mr. Jeremy Haywood from Dominica. Mr. Jeremy's family has a long history. At least 200 years ago, Mr. Jeremy's ancestors came Dominica, they are the founders of Dominica. "Cole exaggerated, introducing Jeremiah Haywood like an English prince.
"Mr. Jeremy, it's a pleasure to meet you—" Li Mu maintained basic respect, and his smile was so refreshing.
"It's a pleasure to see you, Mr. Riem. In fact, Mr. Cole was wrong. My ancestors did not arrive in Dominica, but in Haiti. Mr. Riem, you should know this by my name." Geremi With a humble smile, the respect shown in front of Li Mu was like seeing the queen.
The name Jeremy is indeed Haiti. It is a Haitian port city, located in the southwestern part of Haiti and facing Santiago across the sea.
"Yes, the city of poets, I have heard there." Li Mu casually perfunctory.
There is a mistake here. Jeremiah was called "Poetry City" in the 21st century because Jeremiah was born of many writers, poets, and historians.
Now it is the nineteenth century. The cultural atmosphere of Jeremy is not so strong, so it is not related to the word "Poetry City".
Fortunately, Cole and Jeremy didn't notice Li Mu's "Leakage Opportunity." When mentioning his own name, Jeremy bit his teeth. It seems that the city has a special memory for Jeremy: "Mr. Lim, you may I do n’t know, I was born in Dominica, but my father gave me the name 'Remy', just to remind me all the time not to forget what happened to my family in Jeremy. "
encounter!
For a moment, Li Mu had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, with Jérémy's remarks, Li Mu learned a painful history.
Columbus discovered Haiti around 1492, and a few years later, the Spaniards began to colonize Haiti.
Smallpox came to Haiti with the Spaniards. However, for decades, the indigenous Arawak people of Haiti were destroyed by smallpox. After that, Haiti became a gathering place for pirates. In the 17th century, Haiti was ceded to France by the Spanish. Enriching the colonial labor force, the French began to traffic in slaves to Haiti, which also set the scene for later tragedies.
Like most colonies, the French Revolution broke out in 1789, and the following year, the Haitian blacks revolted.
On the eve of the uprising, Haiti had about 32,000 whites, most of whom were French immigrants. There were also mulattos between 35,000 and 56,000, and about 30,000 free blacks. In addition, It's about half a million black slaves in various plantations.
The process of the revolution was full of blood, but the revolution in Haiti was particularly horrible. Perhaps the white colonists had treated the black slaves too cruelly. Once the awakened blacks had the power of resistance, the blood and violence that erupted were particularly surprising. During the entire revolution, except for some 32,000 whites who fled back to France, most whites were slaughtered by blacks. They were also killed in mixed races. At that time, the Jérémy family lived in Jérémy, except for Jérémy. His father escaped in Dominica, and everyone else was killed in the war.
"--Before the black riots, my family had a huge plantation in Jérémi, and there was also a merchant company consisting of trading companies and twelve ships. The black riots destroyed all this, and my family shrouded it ever since. In endless suffering-since my birth, my father has told me countless times about the glory of the family, asking me to restore the glory of the family, until he was called by the Lord, he did not forget it-Mr. Riem I know you can help me, and I am willing to do everything to get your help. "Geremi said with tears in her face, and she knelt down and kissed Li Mu's shoes.
Li Mu did not have time to stop Geremi, in fact Li Mu was weighing the pros and cons.
Do you really want to take this step?
