Chapter 1259 Big Winner
Zeng Wangcai set so many conditions, but in the end there is only one way left for the Americans to go, and that is to make concessions.
It is impossible for the Americans to give up the fat meat they have got. If they are the only buyer, then they can still take advantage of it, but there is also Russia.
No one knows better than the Americans how Russia gradually recovered.
In that war without gunpowder over Russia, it seemed that the United States did not suffer much loss, but that was not the case.
American economists and Wall Street giants only realized afterwards that they had been cheated and did not achieve the expected results, which was a failure.
Under this premise, the Americans dare not take the gamble.
Therefore, they could only follow the path designed by Zeng Wangcai, giving up a large part of the benefits they had originally anticipated, and at the same time proposed that Zeng Wangcai could not occupy the two islands.
We definitely won’t agree, right? So let’s continue the discussion.
The final result was acceptable to both sides: giving up the big Barra Island and taking over the tiny Minggulai Island.
After the arduous negotiations, the two sides jointly issued a statement to maintain the neutral position of the British country, and anyone who dared to undermine it would be attacked by both sides.
As for the rest, of course it won’t be brought to the table.
The affairs of the British country lasted for such a long time, and finally came to an end in April when spring came and flowers bloomed, and we became the biggest winners.
The global landscape has been rewritten as a result. Since we acquired Wangye Island many years ago, we have had a springboard overseas, in faraway Europe.
After the severe rebuke, we and the Americans are wary of each other, but also cooperate with each other.
Siheyuan.
A grand banquet was held, and Zeng Youqian deliberately invited Sha Zhu, who was away, to come back to be the chef and entertain the three old men, Wu Yao and Cao Wang.
By the way, I had a dinner with Zeng Wangcai and his wife online.
The greenhouse has been removed and the weather is good, so an octagonal table with a round tabletop has been set up outside the courtyard.
Sha Zhu was cooking on the stove outside, and from time to time he would look up and say a few words to Zeng Wangcai in the picture.
After the dish was ready, Sha Zhu tactfully drank a glass of wine and left.
Zeng Wangcai was also eating and barbecuing, and some people were working in the background.
"Wangcai, when will you come back?" Chen Yumei asked before the meal started.
We haven't seen each other for almost a year, and we can only meet and talk through video. She must miss her son.
"Mom, we are quite far away from home now. Now that the matter has been exposed, I definitely cannot take a plane. I have to walk on the sea. At least I have to go to another place and then take a flight back. But don't worry, I will be back in June at the latest." Zeng Wangcai replied.
He didn't dare say that he wanted to leave after coming back, for fear that his mother would be reluctant to let him go.
"That's pretty quick. You guys eat, I'm leaving!" Chen Yumei's sadness disappeared immediately.
"No, Mom, what are you doing? You're not going home for dinner?"
"Don't worry about it, we'll talk about it when we get back!"
Chen Yumei went into the house, got her coat, and left happily.
"Dad, where is my mom going?"
"It's a long story." Zeng Youqian sighed, "It's all your fault. You insisted that we were old and shouldn't go out to work. I asked your mother to come back, but she was bored. Then you said we could go out and dance. As a result, your mother listened to you and now dances twice a day, every afternoon and evening."
"..."
Fortunately, the old lady was just jumping at the entrance of the supermarket, and there was no loudspeaker. Now there are more and more elderly people in the alley, and the issues of pension and leisure after retirement are gradually emerging.
Just like Zeng Youqian, he also retired from the position of consultant of the garment factory and handed it over to young people to manage. He would go out for a walk every day, but his general activities were playing chess or going out to drink with others.
The banquet officially began, Zeng Wangcai was eating barbecue over there and vegetables over here.
"Wangcai, let me ask you first, what are you going to do with Minggulai Island? That island is too small, and the conditions are too poor..."
"Wait a minute, Angkor!" Zeng Wangcai swallowed a mouthful of fish and interrupted, "The name Minggulai Island will be used later. Let's give it a name of our own. This island will be ours in the future."
"That's true. This problem has been discussed above. It's still the same as before. Just come."
"It's me again..."
Unlike the situation on Jiang Island at that time, Zeng Wangcai took decisive action this time. Minggulai Island and Bara Island were ceded instead of rented, so these two islands are now truly red. Zhang Xiuzhi's distant relative who is in the map business will be busy again.
The result of the discussion between the two sides now is not to move Bara Island, but it does not mean that it will not be moved in the future. That is a story for later. Now let’s talk about Gulai Island.
"The first piece of land we took was called Wangye, how about we continue this style and call it... Houye?"
"..."
Your name... has no technical content at all.
Wu Yao complained in his heart, but the words had already been said and could not be taken back, so let it be Houye Island.
"That's it, report it."
"Okay, let's move on to the next thing." Zeng Wangcai pointed to the movement behind him, "Everyone has seen it, the construction has started. The area of this island is too small, and it is not suitable for garrisoning troops. Otherwise, the Americans would not easily agree. We should not dwell too much on this juncture. When we build Houye Island and garrison troops, Bala Island will naturally not be able to escape. At that time, Gongye Island will be next to Houye Island..."
Well, another island’s name has been decided.
Are you planning to collect all the titles or what?
"Keep talking!"
"Well, I plan to flatten Houye Island and use the main part of it to accommodate important facilities, such as military camps and airports. The insufficient area will be reclaimed. By then, the area of Houye Island will be expanded four to five times, or even ten times. All problems will be solved."
"Wangcai, I must remind you of something. Since the Americans are unwilling, they will definitely keep an eye on Houye Island. If you build a large-scale project there, they will definitely obstruct it."
"Just don't let them find out in the early stages."
"How is this possible? There are satellites in the sky and they can send ships at sea. How can you defend against this?"
"There's a lid in the sky, and at sea... 055 is on patrol."
"..."
Don’t think Zeng Zhanhua is joking. He really intends to do this. It’s not the first time anyway. Isn’t the dock on Wangye Island covered?
There is also the 055 patrol, which sounds like a waste of talent, but for Zeng Wangcai, it is not difficult at all. The fleet in the space is suitable for this job because it can do nothing else.
......
On the vast sea, the wind was strong... uh, the sun was shining on the sea, and seagulls were flying between the blue sky and the sea, sometimes forming a human figure, sometimes forming a straight line...
Below the seagulls, eight Type 8s, some far away, some near, were guarding a luxury cruise ship.
Zeng Wangcai was lying on a lounge chair on the deck wearing a vest, enjoying the sunbath, while Xiaobao was lying shirtless on a lounge chair on the other side.
"How many times have I told you that you need to apply something when you sunbathe, or you should strip naked, or you will end up like this, with a vest on your body."
"I know, big brother. I don't want to apply it. If my sister-in-law helps you, it will be a big deal for me to apply it alone with my best friend."
"Just keep talking..."
At this time, Yu Tie, shirtless, came out with a cell phone in his hand: "Brother, something bad has happened. The Perry family's boat has been robbed..."
