Chapter 1151: Memories belonging to two people (1)
Chapter 1153 The Gambling King (Part 2)
Carls is still very familiar with his secretary. Generally speaking, he will tell him after making a decision. So now, he should have already made plans, but this plan is more difficult.
"Mr. Carls, see... can we apply with Mr. Yang to borrow some funds temporarily?" the secretary suggested.
"This... is probably a bit difficult?" General Carls shook his head after hearing this: "Every year, we have to pay Captain Li Qiang a military expense. Now, the military expenses have not been paid, so we still care about the borrowing of others. Is this possible?"
"I think it should be possible!" The secretary nodded and analyzed: "Although we are the rulers of Country X, Mr. Yang is the actual owner behind the country..."
"That's true!" After listening to the secretary's analysis, Karls felt that this was indeed the case, so he stopped hesitating and picked up the phone and dialed Li Qiang's number.
Of course, Carls would not call Yang Ming directly to discuss these trivial matters, because he also knew that Yang Ming was very busy every day, so the meaning of his leaving Li Qiang here was to let Li Qiang be fully responsible for all matters here.
"Hello, Captain Li, I'm Carls!" Carls said concisely. He didn't need too much politeness in front of Li Qiang, but he looked like a work style of the same level.
Because, Karls also understood that he and Li Qiang belonged to Yang Ming’s two subordinates, only one managed government affairs and the other managed military affairs.
"Hello, Prime Minister Carls, is there anything wrong?" Li Qiang asked.
"That's right. Now my finances are very tight. See if you can withdraw some funds from you and lend them to me. I will use them for the construction of the city." Carls said.
"Is your finances very nervous?" Li Qiang was stunned: "After those armed forces cleared, a lot of minerals should be left on their territory? There should be a lot of money when the rent of these minerals is collected, right?"
"The owners of these minerals all have contracts signed with the previous armed forces. If I forcefully collect rent, I'm afraid these people will join forces..." Karls smiled bitterly. Karls dare not take back the minerals at will. Last time, he thought that the Huang family was a soft persimmon, but he wanted to pinch it, but he was thought of it. This time he pinched the mine. The Huang family actually had something to do with Yang Ming!
Therefore, Carls dare not act rashly now, and it is nothing to do one or two of these mines. If all the mine owners unite, it will be a considerable force.
Now General Carls is seeking stability, and is afraid of causing a large-scale mutiny and riot.
"That's right..." Li Qiang nodded, and then said, "I'll ask Brother Yang for instructions and then give you news."
"Okay, I'll bother you, Captain Li." Karls knew that this matter was probably possible. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After Li Qiang hung up Carls' phone call, he called Yang Ming.
"Brother Yang, I am Li Qiang!" Li Qiang said: "Karls called me just now and told me about this situation. Is it easy for you to listen to me?"
"Well, tell me." Yang Ming is the only one by Wang Xiaoyan, so it's very convenient to speak.
"The x country needs large-scale reconstruction after the war, but Karls lacks funds and wants to borrow some money from us." Li Qiang said: "I suggest that he take back all the minerals in the x country and then carry out unified investment promotion and distribution, but he dare not do it..."
"Well, there is no problem with money." Yang Ming said: "How much is it? Let him give me a plan. I'll take a look and transfer it to him. As for the mineral matter, in this way, you will take people back all the mines, and then conduct a unified public bidding and get the bid."
"Okay, Mr. Yang." Li Qiang said.
"By the way, I heard that the Li Zhizhen family also has an iron ore in the north. You can ask for it and then catch all the people inside." Yang Ming suddenly remembered the affairs of the Li family in Singapore, so he ordered Li Qiang.
"I understand, don't worry, Mr. Yang." Li Qiang wrote down what he said to Yang Ming one by one.
When Carls learned that Yang Ming agreed to borrow money, he was immediately happy. It seemed that Yang Ming really wanted to truly support himself, so he should perform well and manage X Country well.
As for what Li Qiang said about taking back all the minerals for unified bidding, Karls had no opinion. If Li Qiang was willing to do it, it would be better, and it would be easier to manage it. Otherwise, these people would be thorns in Karls's side and would give him a headache.
What made Carls happiest was that in those relatively remote cities, Li Qiang also agreed to send troops to temporarily maintain local public order, and at least implement military control before the establishment of the Administrative Office.
...
For Yang Ming, the matter in Country X is just a small incident, a small place, with Karls and Li Qiang struggling. If he really achieves some results, Yang Ming will naturally be very happy.
At six o'clock in the evening, Alice's car arrived at the door of Old Buffon Manor on time. Yang Ming did not take Wang Xiaoyan with him, but went out alone.
"You are the only one?" Seeing Yang Ming coming out alone, Alice was also a little surprised. Why didn't Yang Ming bring Wang Xiaoyan over with her?
"Just myself, do you need others to participate in gambling?" Yang Ming shrugged and said.
"Your girlfriend... don't take it with me? Isn't there a woman sitting in my arms when ordinary people gamble?" Alice asked with some reluctance.
"You said Yanyan? She is tired and resting." Yang Ming smiled and said, "Isn't you there?"
"Me? Humph, let's talk about it when you win the game." When Alice saw Yang Ming say this, she didn't say anything more. She opened the car door and asked Yang Ming to get in the car.
The driver was a middle-aged woman, probably Alice's full-time driver. Yang Ming didn't ask anything, and sat side by side with Alice in the back seat of the car.
Yang Ming didn't know Alice's car. It was a rare brand. Maybe it was specially customized and there was no brand at all, but Yang Ming didn't care about these things either.
"The person who competed with you today is Park Cheolan, who is the gambling king in South Korea and is very famous in both Macau and Las Vegas." After Yang Ming got in the car, Alice began to introduce Park Cheolan's information: "In last year's Macau Asian Gambling King Competition, Park Cheolan won the second place in the Asian Gambling King Championship, second only to the gambling king Tong from Thailand. He also achieved the 15th place in the World Gambling King Competition in Las Vegas three years ago."
"Are you telling me this to hurt my confidence?" Yang Ming listened to these meaningless numbers with some amusing hilariousness.
"I kindly remind you not to underestimate the enemy," Alice said. "But if you don't want to listen, then just pretend I haven't said it."
"Okay, then you keep talking." Yang Ming said: "But I hope to hear some more valuable information, such as what this guy is good at..."
"Park Cheol-nam is good at studs, blackjack, of course, other things like size, aren't very bad either." Alice said: "Tonight's bet is up to you."
"Oh, it's a coincidence that these two happen to be what I'm good at." Yang Ming smiled and said, "Of course, I'm killing people like big or small."
"..." Alice was speechless. No matter how she looked like Yang Ming, who was so mean, she didn't look like a gambling expert? I really don't know if the person in the video in Macau was him.
Looking at Yang Ming’s clothes, Alice sighed again. What are these? How could this be worn in a sweatshirt? How could it be like a clothing that only wears on such an important occasion?
But when I think of what my brother said before, Alice doesn't care. Just do whatever he wants, wear whatever he wants. Anyway...
Chapter completed!
