Chapter 2043 The Situation Is Pressing
"What?"
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the newly tidied meeting hall on Emperor Island, Ye Tianlong and other Tianmen senior officials gathered around a new table for a meeting.
"Ten billion? That's too bullying."
When he heard that the Ma Kingdom wanted 10 billion to take back the Imperial Island, Gongsun Jishi jumped up as if he had been stabbed with a fire stick: "We have smashed a total of 130 billion."
"Not counting all the energy and manpower, the rent, houses, and facilities alone are worth 130 billion in real money."
Gongsun Jishi blew his beard and stared in excitement: "Even if the sales are not as hot as expected, there is absolutely no problem in recovering 100 billion."
"Malaysia bought it back with 10 billion. What they did was simply robbery. No, it was more cost-effective than robbery."
After all, he smashed out the coffin.
"Elder Gongsun, we know that you have put a lot of effort into the Imperial Island, and you have spent more than 30 billion, but in the battle of Tianmen, you did use guns and cannons."
When Ye Tianlong chuckled and drank tea, Black Widow whispered: "It is inevitable for Malaysian citizens to be nervous."
"And the arms can't twist the thighs. As Ye Tianlong said, even if you win the lawsuit with the contract, you will have a lot of shoes to fill in the future."
“Even if we have General Ongsa’s protection, we can’t avoid officials making things difficult for us.”
She reminded Gongsun Jishi: "They only need to check the residents of Imperial Island at the customs, and we will be half tired to death when we come in and out every day."
Huang Bajin sat up straight: "Yes, Elder Gongsun, although I am also angry at Ma Guo's tyranny, we are indeed being caught this time."
"If we have to fight with them, we will only suffer the biggest loss."
He pointed out the key point: "Once the entire Malaysian people attack, let alone 10 billion by then, lives may be in danger."
Huang Bajin and the others knew in their hearts that if Ye Tianlong came back with this news, it meant that he basically accepted it, otherwise he would not discuss it.
Therefore, they tried their best to persuade Gongsun Jishi so that Ye Tianlong could deploy it calmly.
Hearing the words of Black Widow and others, Gongsun Jishi's expression softened a little. Of course he could figure this out, but it was still difficult to accept it emotionally:
"Then they can't do 10 billion. Even if it's 80 billion, 70 billion, or even 50 billion, I'd be more accepting of it."
Gongsun Jishi looked at the meeting hall designed by himself: "Ten billion, they are just like bandits."
Wei Qingqing also smiled and said: "Elder Gongsun, in fact, there are more than 10 billion. Doesn't there also be a battle ax lair? It's twice the area."
"It's okay if I don't say this, but I'll be even more angry when I say this."
Gongsun Jishi's anger, which was about to be extinguished, heard the Tianlong Island rise instantly, and he slapped the table again and shouted:
"Do you know where this Tomahawk lair is? Tianlong Island! Do you know where Tianlong Island is? On the edge of multinational waters."
"The nominal sovereignty of Dragon Island that day is Malaysia, but Malaysia has never actually controlled it."
"In addition to the remoteness and harsh environment there, there are also too many pirates and bandits."
"The reason why Tianlong Island is recognized as the sovereignty of Malaysia is because more than a hundred years ago, several Malaysians used a toilet on it."
"Then the excrement happened to give birth to a few hibiscus plants, the national flower, and no one was snatching them away at the time, so the horse country conveniently enclosed them."
"But it is only owned in name. In fact, it has never been inhabited by people from the Kingdom of Malaysia, and there are no soldiers stationed there. The Kingdom of Malaysia has almost forgotten it."
"Over the years, Tomahawk has used it as its base. The environment has changed, and some infrastructure has been built. Only then did the country of Malaysia think of this island."
"But Ma Guo just thought about it and never thought about sending troops to get it back."
"Firstly, it will cost a lot of money to recapture it. Secondly, there are too many pirates nearby, and huge military expenditures will be needed to maintain it after recapture."
Gongsun Jishi was very excited: "To the horse country, it is just tasteless, no, it is a chicken head. It looks meaty, but I don't want to take a bite."
"Just because it is of little value, that's why the Kingdom of Malaysia happily gave it to us. What do we do with this island?"
"Build a forest city like the Imperial Island?"
"If that's the case, not only will Tianmen's family not be able to live in peace, they will also be worried about pirate attacks every day."
Gongsun Jishi was full of momentum and said loudly: "We will also become the most coveted fat for the bad guys."
After hearing his analysis, Lan Tianxiang and Wei Qingwu all subconsciously fell silent. This was indeed a fatal shortcoming.
In a place where pirates hang out, how can there be a back garden?
"What Elder Gongsun said makes sense, but we can't do it unless we withdraw. After all, this is someone else's territory."
After a long time, Wei Ji smiled and said: "In addition, General Wengsha's face is also involved. He saved our lives. We must repay this favor."
Prime Minister Lan Tian also sighed: "Yes, the situation is pressing. We don't want to lose this place, but now there is really nothing we can do except compromise."
Dai Hulang also raised his head: "There are not only people from the military department behind Han Xiongtu, but also close contacts with the Guo family and the Ma family."
"Now that Han Xiongtu is dead, the pirate organization has been destroyed, and the Han family's interests have been taken over by Tianmen, this is tantamount to cutting off a huge source of wealth for them."
"So the military teamed up with the official government to suppress us. The Guo family and the Ma family encouraged civil demonstrations. Now we have become the focus. It is impossible not to retreat."
He looked at Gongsun Jishi and said, "Elder Gongsun, please retreat. You are temporarily retreating so that you can come back better."
Ye Tianlong narrowed his eyes slightly, not because he was curious about Dai Hulang's intelligence capabilities, but a little surprised that the Guo family and the Ma family were involved.
He feels that these two families should be remembered and repay them 'well' if there is an opportunity in the future.
"I know it's a dilemma, but I really don't accept it."
Hearing Dai Hulang's words, Gongsun Jishi took a sip of hot tea, then slammed the tea cup: "It's so frustrating."
Then he looked at Ye Tianlong with a hint of helplessness:
"But no matter what the sect leader decides, I will obey it unconditionally."
He still has to give Ye Tianlong face, even if it involves his fundamental interests.
Yan Pobei and the others also nodded and looked at Ye Tianlong and said in unison: "That's right, the sect master decided."
Ye Tianlong, who had been drinking tea silently, laughed, put down the teacup and spoke leisurely:
"King Qin and the others have spoken out about Tianmen's difficulties, and Elder Gongsun's analysis is also spot on."
"It's just that things have to be resolved."
"I have made a decision in my heart, and now there are five things to implement."
"The first thing is that King Wei, Uncle Lan, and Uncle Huang join forces to eradicate the remnants of the battle ax on Tianlong Island and completely control the island in Tianmen's hands."
Wei Qingqing, Lan Tianxiang, and Huang Bajin stood up at the same time: "Yes!"
Han Xiongtu and Tomahawk are dead, but there are still fifty or sixty pirates on Tianlong Island.
If we don't win it quickly, not only will the Tomahawk property be divided privately, but the pirates will continue to grow bigger, and it will be troublesome to control Tianlao Island by then.
"The second thing..."
Ye Tianlong looked at Wei Ji: "Elder Gongsun and King Wei have full authority to negotiate with the Kingdom of Ma on behalf of Tianmen and tell them that the Imperial Island can be returned."
"But I want the complete sovereignty of Tianlong Island, legal procedures to obtain its ownership, and there can be no one-dollar purchase in the contract."
"It must be replaced with the 200 billion investment in Emperor Island and the 600 billion investment from Tianmen in Tianlong Island in the future."
"In other words, it must be stated in the contract that Tianmen bought Tianlong Island for 800 billion. If Malaysia breaks the contract, it will compensate us 800 billion."
"If you buy it for one yuan, one day it will be exposed, and it will cause anger and demonstrations among the Malaysian people, won't you have to give it back again?"
Wei Ji and Gongsun Jishi also stood up and responded: "Yes!"
"The third thing is that King Yan will lead his people back to Xiong Country tomorrow and use your abilities and connections to purchase a batch of heavy weapons and transport them to Tianlao Island."
Ye Tianlong gave the order in an orderly manner: "I will give you 300 million yuan in funding."
King Yan responded loudly: "Understood!"
Although he didn't know why Ye Tianlong wanted to purchase a large number of weapons, it was the first priority before returning to his position, and Yan Pobei vowed to do a good job.
Ye Tianlong said again:
"The fourth thing is that Uncle Xu and Godmother transferred 150 billion of Tianmen's public funds to purchase the six elders' share of the Imperial Island."
"The affairs of the Imperial Island are Tianmen's affairs from now on, and the corresponding money will go into the accounts of the six elders or their descendants."
Elder Gongsun was shocked and looked at Ye Tianlong in surprise: "Master..."
Ye Tianlong waved his hand to stop him from speaking: "Elder Gongsun doesn't need to say more. This is what Tianmen should do, and it is also the feelings of the younger generation towards the elders."
"Don't worry, I will take back what I lost in the future."
Gongsun Jishi nodded, with gratitude in his eyes. Ye Tianlong's decision prevented him from returning to before liberation overnight.
"The fifth thing is that the kings of Chu and Han are dead. These two lines cannot be leaderless."
"As for the selection, I suggest that Chu Zifeng and Han Jing take their place temporarily, and King Qin will supervise them."
Ye Tianlong looked at everyone: "Do you have any objections?"
Everyone responded in unison: "No objection!"
