"What?" Modot thought he had heard it wrong. ? Bayi Chinese? W≥W≥W =. ≤81ZW. What did the young girl just say to herself? What do they want to buy is Tuvalu?
Is it too outdated or the world is too crazy? Murdot instantly felt that his thinking could not keep up with the times.
Katie said Modot in a serious and serious tone: "President Modot, I said we will buy the entire Tuvalu! Buy all the sovereignty of this country!"
This time Murdott listened very carefully, and he was sure he had heard it correctly. The girl named Katie did say their purpose. Not buying real estate, not buying the right to use the ocean but buying the sovereignty of this country?
"Wait! Do you want this country? Want the whole country ?!" The folder in Murdoch's hand had fallen off his hand, because Katie said something a little beyond his expectations.
"Yes, we need all the sovereignty and power of this country. Tuvalu is a small island, and an island small enough to be engulfed by the sea at any time. Any accident will add to the destruction of this country." Katie's tone is abnormal Seriously, she is telling the truth, without exaggerating or making other modifications.
"Living on this island is too hard for you and your people. If you don't have enough funds to build a flood control dam, or improve the foundation of the entire country. I believe you know exactly what the end of this country is."
"It's not that I do any intimidation, Mr. Mottot. When the sea level continues to rise and the panic brought to this country, I even suspect that you won't even be able to sustain it in 2o3o. Maybe it will start to explode in civil disorder in 2o2o."
What Katie said is valid. Modot is well aware of the plight faced by this small country. The situation in the country has recently become unstable. Some people feel that it is meaningless to live in a country with no future. It's better to enjoy it at the last moment of life.
They wanted to subvert the regime, then lived an anarchist life for more than a decade, and finally drowned by the sea. There are still some lunatics with this idea. This group of people has given up hope.
If it was not for receiving a call from Roberto before, Modot announced to the whole country that large companies in South America would come to the country to recruit a large number of workers and provide overseas employment opportunities for their citizens. I'm afraid those guys have already started to act?
Modot only had a guard force of less than a hundred people in his hands, and many of his weapons were still left over by the US military during World War II. He has no confidence to suppress the riots that may explode.
Today, Roberto's luxury passenger plane landed at Tuvalu Airport, but it is seen all over the country. Everyone's last hope is on this overseas employment opportunity. Only by leaving this **** island can they start a new life!
Murdot smiled bitterly. It seemed that the young people in front of him had already understood the domestic form of Tuvalu. Looking for him now is a simple showdown.
Negotiation is a game, and like all game games, this game requires chips and cards. Katie has shown her hand, but the bottom card hasn't shown yet, and she has a lot of chips.
On Murdot's side, his hands were completely messed up. The bottom card did not exist. As for the chips, he had no chips except for an island that was about to sink.
Modot sat powerless in the chair opposite Katie and sighed: "What do you want? Did you buy a country about to sink over the president's secret? But the national heart of this country has long been gone, They are all trying to escape from this country. I'm trying my best to help them. If you want to rule them and play a game of power, let's change places. "
Modot has regarded the group of young people in front of him as the second generation of wealthy people, the kind who is nothing to spend tens of billions of dollars to find excitement.
Katie smiled: "Not so boring, Mr. President. We are here to help you do quite a lot of things. For example, Roberto said to you on the phone before. Develop overseas employment for your nationals. And We can guarantee that all more than 11,000 nationals will be transferred out of this silent island. "
Katie pointed to Roberto. Roberto smiled and confirmed Katie's statement.
In this way, it was Murdot's turn to get a little confused: "There are no nationals, what else do you want from this country?" In this case, there is only one empty shell left in the country.
But for Katie, all she needs is an empty shell! A blank piece of paper with nothing is good for painting. Only with this empty shell can she build a home of mutants in this shell.
Katie said slowly: "This is not important, Mr. President. There are not many options available to you right now. Save your nationals and let them leave this country that is committing chronic suicide. Or give up this opportunity and let you and you Nationals are buried together for this country. "
Katie gestured to the little mischief behind her to hand over a document, and she took it to Modot.
"This is the best opportunity in this country, and I am afraid it is also the last chance. Mr. President, look at this agreement to decide what choices to make." Katie said indifferently. Because this time the initiative is in her hands, Modot and Tuvalu have no choice!
………………
Tuvalu ’s night is not busy at all, and even said it was very deserted. Because there are no street lights in many places at night, walking on the road in the event of a wave is likely to involve people directly into the sea and disappear without a trace.
So people in this country rarely choose to go out at night. The only place that can be counted as more lively is near Tuvalu Airport and the presidential residence.
This is the highest place in the country. It is also one of the few places with entertainment venues. Not far from the airport is the most "luxury" bar in the country. The level of luxury is roughly equivalent to that of a bar operated in a country town of hundreds of people in the United States.
But even so, most people will not choose to spend here. Because most of Tuvalu ’s daily necessities cannot be self-sufficient, many things must be imported. Therefore, the consumption of bars is very high, especially for this country with an average annual output value of less than 2ooo US dollars, it can be said to be expensive and scary.
But many people are pouring into this bar today, and even if they do n’t drink, the bar owner makes an exception and does n’t drive anyone away.
Because everyone is waiting for the news, since seeing Roberto's luxury passenger plane landing at the airport during the day, all citizens believe what the old President Murdoch said, he said there will be a large number of overseas employment opportunities coming!
For the citizens of Tuvalu, this is the gospel of heaven! Even those extremists who want to overthrow the government and then chic anarchism over the years are looking forward to this opportunity.
Because they are not stupid! The reason why they had such an idea before was entirely because there was no hope in this country, and there was no way out but to wait for death.
But if you have the opportunity to work abroad, it means that you can get a considerable income. At that time, there is an opportunity to even live directly abroad. This is a very, very important thing for everyone.
This bar is the closest place to the presidential residence and the airport. And the son of the bar owner works in the presidential mansion. Once there is any news, there is always the fastest place to get the news.
The bar owner knows what everyone is expecting. At this time, he will be angry when he wants to catch people. And he also wanted to know if the president could reach an agreement with the big boss in the Americas.
"Old John, have a glass of beer." Two young men who looked decadent looked for the bar owner. Slaughter brothers. The two brothers originally had a small fishing boat dedicated to catching some sardines or something.
Occasionally, New Zealand fishmongers will come to buy their catch when they encounter them at sea. However, because of the price differences last month, it was mainly New Zealanders who pressed the price too hard. The two tons of sardines caught by the two brothers were only willing to pay $ 800.
Although sardines are indeed not very valuable, they are not so valuable. The two brothers turned over with the fishmonger. And also beat a fishmonger.
At that time, the New Zealander stopped, and he directly sailed and sank the brother's fishing boat. New Zealanders drive a 1,000-ton diesel-powered fishing boat. The two brothers are nothing but a 20-ton wooden fishing boat. So the fishing boat was directly sunk.
The two brothers floated on the sea with broken wooden boards for nearly three days before returning to Tuvalu's shore. The two brothers almost died in this incident. President Murdoch issued a diplomatic note to New Zealand on this matter, but the other side directly regarded him as farting. There was not even a response, let alone the issue of compensation, pretending that there was no such thing at all.
Since then, the two brothers have become abnormally decadent, and they have given up hope for life. If it were not because of hearing about foreign employment opportunities this time, I am afraid they would also join the ranks of opposing the government.
The Slaughter brothers drank their wine lifelessly, just like other people in this bar, looking at the door from time to time, hoping to come to the newspaper to tell everyone how the situation is now.
"Let's make, let's make." A girl squeezed in front of the bar counter looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She looked pretty upright. She asked anxiously, "Old John, Is there any news? "
The bar owner shook his head silently: "Cadell, not yet. And, really, Cardell. This is an expatriate job. I heard that Costa Group is recruiting plantations, farms and mining areas. They estimate that they need It ’s all about heavy labor, and you ’re probably hard to be selected. "
The young girl named Cardell glanced at herself. Slender arms and slender legs did not look like they could do heavy physical work. She said sadly: "But if I can't be selected, then I Who will feed my sick mother. Do you want me to stay with this mother on this island to die. "
Big Slough glanced at Cardell: "Cardell, let's be honest. My brother likes you. If you are willing to marry him, both of our brothers should be selected. Then we will find a way to get you and you. Mother received abroad. If you promise to marry my brother. "
Small Slaughter looked at Cardell without speaking, but nodded dumbly. Cardell looked at the Slaughter brothers. The two brothers had been living on fishing before. The days they spent in Tuvalu were okay. Because of the good food, they were strong enough.
Most of these brothers will be selected if heavy labor is needed for this expatriate labor service.
Cardell was somewhat hesitant, and Big Slaughter's words were very tempting to her. It does not matter whether love is not love or not. Love is a luxury in this country where survival is difficult to maintain. Only live is the first.
Cardell looked at Little Slaughter's appearance, which was neither handsome nor ugly, and his body was very strong. She has no good feelings or bad feelings towards this man.
I was impatient with Cardell ’s hesitation, Big Slaughter: “Hurry up and decide the girl! If you want to join us after our brother is selected for labor dispatch, I will not agree that my brother will marry you. At that time, some good girls are willing to post and follow him abroad! "
Big Slaughter said nothing, and Cardell didn't hesitate or think about the opportunity. She said, "Well, I ..."
Jingle Bell ~! The door of the bar was pushed open again, and everyone's eyes were attracted to the past, including the Slaughter brothers and Cardell.
The person who came was John the younger son of John, who was a waiter in the presidential residence. His breathless appearance seemed to run straight from the presidential residence. He walked towards the bar, and everyone gave him a way. The originally noisy bar quieted down instantly ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Everyone looked at Little John.
See what news he brought. Little John took a sip of water at the bar and slowed down, then stood on the bar and said to the hundreds of people present: "The president has signed an agreement with Mr. Roberto and they will officially start recruiting at Tuvalu Airport tomorrow ! The place of work is determined in South America and Southeast Asia! The working period is said to be a long-term contract for more than ten years! "
Wow ~! Clapping hands, stomping feet, crying and laughter rang in the bar. The bar, which was still quiet, boiled in an instant, knowing that the news is one thing, and it is another matter that the news is really settled. After all, these citizens can rest assured only if they confirm that the old president has really reached an agreement.
"Little John, wait a minute! Did they say how many people are going to be recruited?" The Brothers Slaughter thought a little more far-reaching. If the number of workers is too small, then the competition will be fierce.
The questions raised by the Slaughter brothers are also the focus of many others. Everyone expects to be able to recruit more jobs, so that they have a greater chance of being selected. Especially to girls like Cardell who pray for some cooking and logistics.
Little John cleared his throat and said to everyone in a cheerful tone: "The number of recruits, everyone! That's all!"
