Sometimes things were so strange. Because of Yang Ming’s suggestion, Bobby directly rejected Li Zhichun. And because of Bobby’s action, rumors spread due to the twist of fate…

In Li Zhichun’s view, although the management rights of the two mines in his hands were not particularly good, they were, at least, not particularly bad. The iron mine’s annual income profit was also good.

So, he didn’t realize that Bobby bought the gold mining rights for other reasons. He thought that Bobby was trying to be bad*ss with him because Bobby lost the game, so he deliberately put on this indifferent attitude. It must be like this.

These big shots were paying more attention to their own image, and Li Zhichun disgraced Bobby in public, so he naturally had hatred in his heart. So at this moment, it was not a strange thing for him to do something unnatural.

…

The phone rang urgently. The oldest phone was installed in the room, so there was no way around it. This was a problem left over from the previous wars and was not something that Yang Ming could change in a while.

Although Yang Ming had money, it would take a long time to rebuild the island. First of all, he had to set rules for these investors here.

The original Country X was too chaotic. Everyone had their own armed forces, and wars happened frequently. These were volatile factors. Yang Ming must eliminate this.

Therefore, the first thing that Yang Ming asked Li Qiang to do was to eliminate every group of armed forces. Within the entire island, no armed forces with weapons were allowed, including the armed forces used by these investors for self-defense.

Of course, they were allowed to keep some security personnel to maintain order and safety in the mining area, but they must undergo strict review and filing.

After the introduction of this rule, although it had caused dissatisfaction among several large investors, there was no other way. They could only obey and comply with the regulations in order to mingle here.

Never mind these small armed forces. Even General Howton and other hostile forces of Kars’ regime that were ten times stronger than them were all destroyed under Li Qiang’s strong attack. How could they be a contendable opponent?

This was the first step Yang Ming had to do. The second step was to establish the vacation and tourism industry on a large scale. The idea came from Henry Island where Yang Ming had been.

A private island bought by a fallen aristocrat that did not belong to any country, but under the creation of this declining aristocrat, it had become a holiday paradise for the rich!

This declining aristocrat also got reacquainted with many of the world’s top dignitaries and re-entered the upper class with the island. This was a story that people talked about.

What Yang Ming wanted to imitate was Henry Island! Moreover, Yang Ming had an advantage. In terms of the land area, Yang Ming occupied three to four times the land area of Henry Island which meant that Yang Ming could build more entertainment facilities and apartment villas.

However, a factor that was not conducive to Yang Ming was that Country X was located near the North African plate. Most of North Africa’s areas were under the control of the subtropical high pressure and dry northeast trade winds. Adding on top of that, the high mountains surrounding the plateau would hinder the arrival of ocean water vapor, so the climate was hot and dry. It was considered a tropical desert climate. There was little precipitation, and evaporation was strong.

However, Country X was not the case. Country X was an independent island with oceans on all sides. Therefore, under the influence of the marine climate, it was not hot; it was pleasant throughout all the seasons. So, it was much stronger than Henry Island!

However, this required vigorous publicity, because the average person would hear about the heat in North Africa. Thus, Yang Ming must let everyone understand that Country X was not very hot.

Of course, with the support and publicity of Old Buffon, the top European noble, he believed that getting tourists to Country X was not difficult. The ultimate goal Yang Ming wanted to achieve was to build a private resort.

This was also the basis for keeping Country X long-lasting. Even after Yang Ming was dead, as long as the vacation industry of the island still existed, Yang Ming’s children would have the opportunity to reach out to the world’s top richest people. As long as they could grasp this, the family would last forever.

However, this was only Yang Ming’s preliminary idea. It took a long time to take action.

Just like the old-fashioned phone in this room, these needed to be replaced. However, things always had to be done step-by-step.

Yang Ming picked up the phone and heard the voice of the previous doctor. “Mr. Yang? This is Dr. Jessica.”

“Hello, Dr. Jessica.” Yang Ming’s tone also became serious. “How is Victoria? Is she out of danger?”

“Victoria… The situation is not so good… Maybe she can’t make it through tonight. Mr. Yang, would you like to come and see her?” Dr. Jessica said with some difficulty.

“What?!” Yang Ming was surprised. Although Yang Ming had already expected that this might be one of the results, he was still a little sad when he actually heard about this.

Not because Yang Ming lost a suitable bodyguard, but he was saddened for the poor girl. She was also human, but she was leaving the world without enjoying the fun of being a human.

“Okay, I am going over now.” Yang Ming said, “Sorry for the trouble, Dr. Jessica.”

“No trouble… but we have done our best,” Dr. Jessica said quickly.

Hanging up the phone, Yang Ming called Li Qiang immediately. This time, he did not bring General Kars. It was enough to have Li Qiang driving. As for Huang Lele, perhaps she was tired today; she had already slept early, so Yang Ming did not alarm her.

Li Qiang’s car soon stopped below the villa where Yang Ming lived. Yang Ming went out of the villa and got in the car. Li Qiang didn’t say anything. but started the car and rushed to the hospital.

At night, Shoujie City was simply dark. There was no nightlife at all. This was obviously not acceptable. The goal here was to be a city that never sleeps so that the rich would come here for a holiday.

“Li Qiang, when things are done, find time to go to Henry Island.” Yang Ming looked out of the window and into the dark. He instructed Li Qiang.

“Henry Island?” Li Qiang began to be concerned about international affairs since he came here, and of course, he had heard about the existence of Henry Island. However, Li Qiang obviously did not think that Yang Ming would let him go to Henry Island for vacation. There were so many things to do here; how could he have time to go on a holiday?

Obviously, what Yang Ming said had another meaning. Li Qiang thought a little about it and thought about the similarities between Country X and Henry Island. They were all island-shaped private territories, and the climate was very warm and pleasant. He figured out that Yang Ming wanted to develop this into another Henry Island.

“Brother Yang wants to develop this place into a holiday paradise?” Li Qiang asked tentatively after he understood it.

Yang Ming nodded. “Yes, it needs long-term development here. It must be focused. Although it is called a country, it is actually not a country. Ultimately, it is just a private territory. In the international arena, it is impossible to gain the status of a country. In this way, we have a lot of inconveniences. If we want to develop here, we can’t just invest money in it. We’ll have to find some ways to make money. Although the development rights to mines are very profitable, these are all one-off. These development rights have been contracted for ten years. In the next ten years, we will have to face a zero-yield situation. So I feel that the development of holiday tourism can bring a steady flow of money into our pockets.”

“The assassin and mercenary organization… isn’t it also very profitable?” Li Qiang asked carefully.

“These things can’t be put on the table. We still have to form a mainstay industry.” Yang Ming waved his hand and said, “What do you think of this?”

“I feel that this program is very feasible as long as there is a source of tourists. I am afraid that there will be too few tourists after the completion of the project…” Li Qiang carefully said his thoughts.

“The source of tourists is not a problem. You don’t have to worry about this,” said Yang Ming. As long as Old Buffon was there, then the source of tourists was not a problem at all. He believed that as long as tourists came here once, and they were satisfied with it, there would be a second and third time.

Yang Ming didn’t want these people to come here just because of Old Buffon’s favor. Old Buffon’s favor was just to play a role of attracting interest. No matter how useful the favor was, if the supporting facilities couldn’t keep up, people would come once or twice because of a favor. However, they would hesitate on a third time.

Yang Ming would not do this kind of one-off business. Therefore, Yang Ming must complete the supporting facilities first before opening the door to get tourists.

“As long as there are no problems with the source of tourists, then we can do it.” Li Qiang nodded. “Brother Yang, when do I leave?”

“When I return to China these next two days, and the bidding meeting here is over, you will go there at that time.” Yang Ming said, “Right, you can bring the kid, Lu Xinyang. He has a more flexible mind. Let him get some experience. Who knows? Maybe he will think of some good ideas when he comes back.”

The car drove into the hospital. This time, Li Qiang drove his own car. After the guard saw Li Qiang, he directly released them without making a fuss that he caused previously.

Yang Ming quickly went upstairs to the intensive care unit. At the door, Yang Ming saw Dr. Jessica.

“Mr. Yang, you are here?” Dr. Jessica quickly came over and greeted Yang Ming. She saw Li Qiang next to Yang Ming and said quickly, “Captain Li, you are here too.”

Yang Ming nodded slightly and asked urgently, “How is Victoria?”

“I am really sorry…” Dr. Jessica’s face showed an apologetic look…

“Victoria, she won’t make it?” Yang Ming looked at Dr. Jessica’s face, and he was shocked. Yang Ming did not expect that Victoria eventually could not hold on and leave the world.
