Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

On January 25, 1972, Li Changheng and Annie sent away Prince Nasser who had returned to Saudi Arabia to find a suitable agent.

Under the introduction of Cao Yanjun, who has a deep network in South Asia, he bought a 3,100-acre fruit forest and farm complex in Phuket with 3.2 million US dollars.

After the contract was signed, Anne, accompanied by a group of English servants and security guards, came to her new manor.

He was immediately overwhelmed by hundreds of Siamese who actually kneeled outside the main building of the manor.

"Don't be nervous," Li Changheng immediately hugged Annie, whose eyes were full of shocked expressions. "In this place, monks, kings, nobles, dignitaries, and ordinary people all lie like this on formal occasions. A person of high status salutes."

Cao Yanjun on the side looked at Li Changheng unexpectedly, and then smiled and said to Annie, "His Royal Highness, this is the same as a person in your country who has a lower status than you. When you see you, you will either bow or do a lady's ceremony. It's just It's just a kind of etiquette they are all used to."

Upon hearing this, Annie said thank you to Cao Yanjun, and then kept holding Li Changheng's arm.

Until I saw the traditional dance of Siam, I was attracted by the golden costumes and accessories.

I also saw dozens of colorful and colorful Muay Thai basic movements, as teenagers who danced, and then they really relaxed, talked and laughed.

Each of the 9 manor heads who greeted him and his group gave a gift to them, listening to their general introduction to the manor.

Annie's first thought was that in addition to the rice fields, as long as the place is suitable for planting fruit trees.

Mango, lychee, longan, small banana, durian, dragon fruit and rambutan are all planted, these 7 fruits are her favorite to eat.

This kind of thing Li Changheng nodded directly. This 3,100-acre manor is 6 kilometers long by the sea and 2.1 kilometers deep.

And at least 60% of the land is mountain forests, and basically all of them are low-value tropical plants such as shrubs.

As long as Li Changheng is willing, Phuket is eager for him to open up wasteland and plant fruit trees of economic value.

When I roughly visited the huge wooden villa in the manor, after seeing two elephants draped in beautiful colored satin, Annie asked Li Changheng if he could raise more elephants in the manor without even thinking about it.

Of course, Li Changheng would not refuse this request.

Back to the open-air rest area outside the villa, as soon as Li Changheng, Annie, and Cao Yanjun sat down, there was a Siamese maid under the command of the housekeeper Meryl.

Holding their respective fruits and coffee, kneeling and sitting beside the three of them.

Drinking coffee and watching the traditional dances of more than two dozen people not far away, Li Changheng instantly remembered Jiang Tianyang, who likes raising elephants.

He called Sompa-Saro, the chief steward of the farm that had been kneeling, and asked, "Does the farm still use elephants for transportation?"

"Yes, Master," Sompa replied without even thinking about it. "Due to roads, Phuket has been using bullock carts and elephants to transport fruit out of the farm.

If you and your Royal Highness like it, the poor quality fruits produced by the farm every year are enough to raise 100 elephants. "

"100 heads are too many, 50 heads are enough."

Annie smiled and hugged Li Changheng's arm and said, "Next time Charles and Andrew come, I will let the elephant team pick them up.

Seeing him, dare not always show off his thoroughbred horse to me in the future. "

Li Changheng gave Annie a white look, and when she heard it, she knew that this little Nizi said she was raising an elephant, but in fact she still wanted to raise a thoroughbred horse.

I didn't understand what she meant at all, thinking about the digression in Sompa's words.

With an Asian elephant's food volume of about 50 kilograms a day, 100 heads can eat 5 tons of young leaves, fruits, and bamboo shoots a day.

According to what Sompa said, at least nearly 1,800 tons of fruit are wasted every year in the farm.

Even, this was the number Sompa uttered casually. Li Changheng turned his head and said to Cao Yanjun in Cantonese, "Find some trustworthy Chinese to help me manage the farm."

Unexpectedly, Cao Yanjun shook his head, "In my experience, these rural people outside of Siamese cities are a bit lazy and unconscious.

However, their lack of knowledge and inflexible brains means that even if they are clever, they are just greedy for a little money.

And you just need to be kind to these people, they will not only manage the farm and the people below it exactly according to your ideas.

Even if there are problems, the face-saving Siamese rural clan forces will deal with the wrongdoers themselves. "

After listening, Li Changheng smiled and shook his head, looking at hundreds of Siamese kneeling all over, he knew that these people are indeed much easier to manage.

Now that he understands this, the rest for Li Changheng is nothing more than a little reward and following their traditions.

Increase the salary of 9 big and small pipe heads by 10%, and use the output of the farm to increase the worship of the temple.

The annual vegetarian festival, regattas, and the cost of training Muay Thai fighters to participate in the Siam tournament are all borne by the farm.

And as long as the game is won, it will be a reward of $1,000 to $3,000~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and Li Changheng will immediately gain everyone's support.

Cao Yanjun looked at Li Changheng who knew everything, and thought with satisfaction and helplessness in his heart.

This kind of identity, wealth, and intelligence are fully superior, and people who know enough about the locals and even the Chinese can only befriend and never offend.

Otherwise, just instigating the Siamese can make the Changle Gang unable to mix here.

After comforting and buying the hearts of the people in the farm, Li Changheng smiled and said to the pensive Cao Yanjun, "Ten million dollars will be handed over to you.

Help me buy the entire Patong Beach and build a hotel with at least four stars.

Then I will give you 10% of the shares. In the future, the management of the hotel, the various retail stores on the beach, and the tourism projects on the sea will all be contracted to Changle Bang.

And if you do well, there will be at least 3 million U.S. dollars a year, which will be invested in the construction of Patong Beach for at least ten years. Is there a problem? "

Cao Yanjun's face was startled, and then frowned again after being overjoyed.

"Boss, are you sure that so much investment will pay off in a few years?

Or, let's invest two or three million yuan first, invest in a hotel in the best location, and see how many years of trial operation? "

When Li Changheng heard that she didn't specify the year, he wanted a return on investment the next year.

Instead, he smiled a lot of relief, "We have to look farther.

The definite answer I can give you is that the scenery of this island can definitely attract wealthy people over for vacation.

Moreover, as long as the hotel and supporting facilities are sufficiently complete, in the future, United American Films, and even the other 7 majors in Hollywood, may come here for shooting.

In addition, when the time is right, as soon as the news that Annie and I are here on vacation is reported, you should worry about the number of rooms in the hotel, as well as the service of the staff and the level of the chef. "
