At the wedding, my wife confessed her love for her white moonlight

Chapter 500: Cruise Ship Gambling (5)

Lowe took advantage of the situation to weaken the power of local military officers and reduce their annual expenditures.

Originally, this matter was legitimate, but if we did that, these local military officers would not agree and would unite to engage in reactionary activities.

Now, Lowe gave them a way out: either gamble or sign the agreement and go back to being the landlord.

"We came to this boat just to have fun gambling!" The strong sheriff waved his hand and said, "Just keep gambling!"

He is very rich, so it doesn't matter if he loses everything today. He can just consider it as he has worked for nothing this year.

If we cut military spending, we will suffer huge losses.

But it’s different for others, they come here with their family fortunes, if they lose, they will be seriously hurt, even if they don’t cut back on spending, life will not be easy.

"No more gambling!"

Someone backed down first.

"If you don't want to gamble, then sign it!" Lowe said, "If you want to gamble, let's continue."

This is not only a gamble of real money, but also a political gamble.

Because before this, Lowe had pointed out that this gamble could be withdrawn midway, but the condition for withdrawal was to sign an agreement to cut spending.

If Lowe quits midway, Mando's military spending will have to be cut.

Everyone had agreed on these conditions before sitting at the gambling table.

After all, everyone was well prepared, and they were colluding with each other, ready to suppress Lowe in this gambling game.

But unexpectedly, Lowe had a divine helper.

In the current situation, it is no longer possible to cheat. If you don’t want to continue losing money, you can only sign the agreement and then leave the gambling table.

Soon, five of the eight gamblers left the table, leaving only the burly officer and a sheriff at the table.

"Let's continue!"

"Next is the card game!" said the beautiful dealer.

......

......

But as expected, these two were also leeks. After a game of poker, both of them almost lost everything.

A big gamble on a cruise ship ended with Lowe winning a great victory.

After getting off the cruise ship, Lowe invited Bai Yushan and Jiang Ning directly to his home.

"Mr. Bai has helped me a lot this time!" Luo Wei said, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do in the next few days, so you can stay at my house for a few days and we can have a party!"

"Hahaha, General Luo Wei, you're too polite!" Bai Yushan said, "It's my honor to be able to help General Luo Wei, but my boss and I still have a lot of things to do, so we have to hurry and get to work."

"What's so urgent?" Luo Wei looked at Bai Yushan in confusion.

Bai Yushan asked Jiang Ning: "Boss, what should we do next?"

Jiang Ning sighed and said, "I bought the Viper Mound in Laoai Mountain a while ago. I want to set up a mining area in Laoai Mountain to collect minerals and herbs! Now I have to prepare intensively."

"Venomous Snake Hill?" Lowe narrowed his eyes. "There are poisonous snakes everywhere there. Why are you going there to mine?"

Jiang Ning said, "General Luo Wei, you may not know that because of the venomous snakes everywhere in Viper Hill, few people dare to go there, so many precious herbs and minerals there are well preserved. In fact, I was lucky enough to go there for an investigation, and it was full of treasures. So, I plan to set up a collection company, a botanical medicine company, and a mining company to develop that mountain area."

"I remember that Lao Aisan has an administrator named Basong, right?" Lowe said.

"Yes, Mr. Basong has been a great help to my logging camp." Jiang Ning said, looking around, then approached General Luo Wei and whispered, "General Luo Wei, actually, I have a business deal that I would like to cooperate with you. I wonder what you think."

"you say!"

"There are many minerals and herbs in Viper Hill. If I can successfully mine them, I believe I will have a great harvest!" Jiang Ning said, "You also know that in this land, wherever there are resources, there will be more powerful people to occupy them. I am a foreign Chinese merchant who is unfamiliar with the place and faces great obstacles in doing business..."

After hearing this, Lowe immediately understood that this was a request for his help.

"I understand what Mr. Jiang means. You and Mr. Bai are my honored guests and even more so my valued friends. As long as I, Lowe, am here to do business in this area, no one will dare to touch a hair on your head," Lowe said.

On the cruise ship, Bai Yushan helped him make a lot of money and also helped him consolidate his regime.

Moreover, he could see that Bai Yushan was Jiang Ning's man, and it was Jiang Ning who gave the order for Bai Yushan to help.

Therefore, he could repay this kindness in this way.

Moreover, this way they can maintain friendly relations. In the future, he will need Baiyushan in many places, so he must maintain a relationship with Jiangning Baiyushan at all times.

"Thank you very much, General Lowe!" Jiang Ning said gratefully.

Jiang Ning originally wanted to spend 20% of the gold mine's profits to bribe Lowe, but now it seems that this opportunity does not need to be opened for the time being.

If it comes in handy in the future, you can always spend more money to buy it.

Afterwards, the two sides ended the banquet of the day with a round of toasts.

After returning to his residence, Jiang Ning began to prepare for the establishment of his new company.

Next, several steps need to be carried out simultaneously.

Through General Lowe, he got to know a local mercenary leader and spent some money to hire a group of mercenaries to go into the mountains to drive away snakes.

Of course, they didn't have to do much. They just had to spray the medicine prepared by the Red Scorpion evenly in the area within a radius of ten kilometers around the Viper Hill.

The last time, the elite columns of Xianglong International and Yunlong Chamber of Commerce entered the mountainous area, they fought a fierce battle with the snake king of Viper Hill, and severely damaged the snake king and the snake group.

Therefore, the task of driving away snakes is not difficult at the moment.

On the other hand, Jiang Ning asked Basong for help and sent someone to help him register three companies.

Huahai Mining Co., Ltd., Huahai Plant Medicine Co., Ltd., Huahai Collection Co., Ltd.

These three companies can fully occupy all businesses in the Viper Hill generation, whether it is logging, mining, or scientific research, there will be no problem.

This means that all the basic business in that area was monopolized by Jiang Ning.

Next is the introduction of talent.

Before the Chinese New Year, Jiang Ning had already started to lay out in Haicheng and recruited some talents in construction, mining and precious metal carving.

At present, talents in construction and mining need to come to Mandu Laoai Mountain to conduct preliminary surveys, and then discuss mining plans, mine construction plans, etc., before they can start building a gold mine.

As for the business of herbal extraction, Jiang Ning initially only used it as an excuse.

But now, he actually had a new idea.

Many of Jiang’s Pharmaceutical’s Chinese herbal medicine raw materials are still purchased from the Bai family.

He has always wanted to rent a piece of mountainous area to grow Chinese herbal medicine.

He discovered that the climate in the Snake Hill area of ​​Laoai Mountain was humid all year round, with distinct winter and summer seasons, making it very suitable for growing various types of herbs.

Therefore, he planned to turn this place into a herbal medicine planting base.

He called Jiang Yucheng and told him his thoughts.

On the other end, Jiang Yucheng said, "Xiao Ning, with so many tasks, how can you handle them all by yourself?"

"We have to keep busy even if we are too busy!" Jiang Ning was also helpless.

Although he has many helpers around him, there are almost no people skilled in pharmacy.

Jiang Yucheng said: "I think there is a candidate who is suitable to be a helper!"

"Who?"

"The eldest lady of the Shen family, Shen Lingyue!" Jiang Yucheng asked tentatively: "What do you think?"
