In East Africa, two boats pull to the siren and pull to anchor.
"Get the boat over and be careful." Beside the wharf, the monk asked people to pull the boat to the back, and the small fishing boat was as small as a mole ant in front of the huge ship.
Looking up, someone on the ship waved, and then a rope hung on the walkie talkie was lowered.
"We're in position. We're ready to go." The monk grabbed the walkie talkie and untied the rope.
"Copy that. Copy it." There was a wooden box down from the top, another one beside it, and then another. Three wooden boxes were hung by ropes at the same time.
Three fishing boats lean on the side of the boat, wait until they are full and leave, and change the other three boats to stop at the previous position.
On the ship, two inspectors from the arms Commission were sleeping in the cabin with two cheap girls lying beside them.
Last night, there was a big dance party on the ship. Stimulated by the beauty and music, they were so drunk that they didn't wake up.
As night fell, all the wooden boxes stored in the power room and kitchen warehouse were unloaded, and the two inspectors finally woke up from the hangover.
Kneading their dizzy heads, they stumbled to the deck. When they found that the ship had reached the shore, their faces suddenly changed.
"When did we land?" Asked the inspector, holding the sailor beside him.
"Now, sir, we haven't got time to put down the deck." Said the sailor, pointing to the deck not yet lowered.
They were suspicious, but after getting off the ship and checking the port's entry records, they dispelled their doubts.
It seems as the captain said, they just advanced the arrival time by one day, but somehow, they always felt something was wrong.
Looking at the gradually busy wharf, they suddenly found that the former wharf seemed a bit desolate, "maybe it's time to change shifts."
"Have you seen those weapons?" Asked one of them.
"It's all in the hold. It's in good condition." The companion nodded.
However, both of them did not know that during the journey, the wooden boxes had been transferred. Instead of weapons, the big stones were sealed inside.
At the simple pearl picking wharf behind the northwest corner, pearl pickers work in pairs to lift heavy wooden boxes from fishing boats and load them.
When the car was full, put down the tarpaulin, and the troop carrier sped to the desert. After 200 miles, a small airport appeared.
There is only a narrow runway in the whole airport, next to a wooden house, and the gaps between logs are covered with sand proof mud.
"Come on, come on." As soon as the car stopped, four people ran out of the room and put the wooden box on the plane at the driver's beckoning.
Six more cars came from behind, waiting for the plane to return.
……
……
Santa Monica, end of Highway 1.
A light blue louse ghost 2 slowly drove to the fork in the road. The grassland on both sides was full of quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
"Sometimes even I'm jealous. It's so beautiful here." The garden, like a colorful garden world, said Thomas with some envy.
"You have a lot more estate in Maine than here." Li said, sitting opposite him.
"It's so desolate that it can only be used for vacation." Thomas laughed bitterly and shook his head.
What he said was a real "American desolation." there was no one in sight for hundreds of miles. It would take a day to buy something back and forth.
Fortunately, most of the manors are self-sufficient, otherwise life is a problem.
"Here it is." When the car stopped in front of the castle gate, Mary was standing at the door with the servants to welcome the guests.
"Mr. Lamont, welcome to Neverland." Mary greets with grace.
"Thank you, dear madam. I am honored to be invited." After Lamont was polite, they all went to the castle.
Along the way, he was constantly amazed by the decorations and artworks around him. Thomas was very interested in the pegs in front of the partition at the end of the corridor.
"Charlie, I can't wait to have a good tour." Sitting in the reception hall, looking at the huge portrait painting behind him, Thomas said with a cheerful smile.
"I'll have someone guide you later. You can stay a few more days." The hot tea was served, and the others retreated, only Dan remained.
"My Valet boy is also a reliable friend." Li Zitao pointed to Dan and said.
Knowing that there is no need to avoid it, Thomas said directly, "the development of rich countries is amazing. Why do you want to be a partner of Morgan?"
"No one would think of too much money, Thomas, would you?" Li Zitao asked.
"Of course not." Thomas laughs, as if thinking of some doubts: "it's just that your relationship with Morgan worries other partners."
No one would object to making money, but the competition between Li Zitao and Morgan made other partners worried about his purpose.
If he is allowed to become a partner, he will not welcome friends, but all kinds of troubles, and they will also have a headache."If my news is correct, the Morgan consortium is not only part of the Morgan family, it is a large-scale common interest entity,
Thomas, do you think I will offend so many people for a small matter?"
"I have an idea," Thomas said abruptly
"Talk about it." Li Zitao leaned back.
"Cross shareholding." Thomas said seriously: "this is the way to reassure everyone, Morgan and rich countries to reach a strategic alliance."
"Congress won't agree." Li Zitao shook his head and said.
JP. Morgan has just been split into Morgan commercial bank and Morgan Stanley, and now wants to cooperate with rich countries. Congress will definitely block the deal.
The timing is not right. If it was before Roosevelt came to power and the market was liberalized, it would be a good proposal.
But Morgan would not look up to his rich country at that time.
"We can have cross shareholdings as partners, not involving shares in the industry, and there is no reason for Congress to stop it." Thomas had an arc in the corner of his mouth.
The cross shareholding of partners and the combination of interests between shareholders do not involve the industry. This is an approach.
It's too risky just to do so. Once personal interests are involved, no one can guarantee that his position will change.
"Mutual penetration, are you so confident?" Li Zitao directly pointed out the other party's purpose, turning the cup in his hand.
"We are only optimistic about the development of rich countries. I am old. Who knows about the future?" Thomas looked at him with emotion.
That young face makes him full of envy. In only six years, he has grown to the point that no one can ignore.
Even a miracle is not enough to describe his journey.
