Chapter 1454 Buying the Palace
Busy in the daytime and dark in the dark, busy in the dark at night.
This lasted for a week, and the iron body couldn't bear it. He admired the persistence and resilience of the Ukrainian beauty.
It's impossible to admit that you're a coward. He is now going to New York because of work.
"Don't forget me." Before parting, Yinova said reluctantly, with endless thoughts.
"Have more confidence in yourself, the impression you left on me will be unforgettable." Rubbing her head like a doting pet, she took a nap all the way to the airport to continue resting.
When the plane landed in New York, he regained his energetic complexion.
It's been a long time since he was so excited and crazy, and Li Zitao felt the breath of youth, but it still needs to be done formally.
A few months ago, he had promised to Bergman that he would give her a palace, and he had given full power to the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce to handle this matter.
The sale of the Hawaiian Palace has not been opposed by the Congress. For Laomei, the palace and the background are not as real as cash.
Besides, that history is not theirs, except for the native Hawaiians who care, the congressmen don't care at all.
But on the state government side, they encountered some difficulties.
The local aborigines value the historical significance of the palace, after all, it is part of their history.
Although the palace is abandoned today, it is also left by their ancestors. It is a testimony to the glory of the Hawaiian dynasty and their pride.
Now, it would be humiliating for them to sell it to a rich man.
So far there have been no large-scale protest rallies, largely because of Lee's development of Hawaii, for which people are grateful.
But according to the state government, if they insist on going their own way and insist on continuing, rallies and protests will definitely occur.
"Charlie, this is not in Lee's interest. These natives are stubborn, and they will never be persuaded easily." Mahatha Trix Lang, who has served as governor for four terms, seems to be preparing to die in the governor's position degree said.
"It's up to me whether it fits or not, Mahathir, all you have to do is get rid of those protests, knowing that it will bring a lot of revenue to your government."
If this deal is concluded, the state government will be able to make a lot of money just by taxation, so the other party will not be tempted.
"Of course I want to...well, Charlie, I'll try." Mahatha knew he didn't like to hear questions, but answers.
"You know my habit. I am generous to my friends and cruel to my enemies. Anyone who has helped me will eventually get a gift, do you understand?"
"Of course, Mr. Charlie, you will receive news soon, and I am looking forward to your gift." The greedy Mahata was already looking forward to the gift.
Even if there is a guarantee from the governor, it cannot be guaranteed that nothing will go wrong. Li Zitao still needs other efforts.
He had already decided to buy the Iolani Palace. This palace was originally on his list of 'collections'. Bergman's request was just another reason to buy it.
They should bear in mind the income and jobs Mr. Lee has created for Hawaii over the years, and the efforts he has made to improve the lives of local residents.
The ancestors said that reciprocity is the right way.
I just want them to live in peace, catch fish when they should, catch the sea, farm the land, and don't meddle in their own business.
This business can bring a large amount of tax to the state government, which means that their quality of life will be improved and there will be more public benefits.
The renovation of the palace will also bring jobs, and the maintenance of the later occupancy also needs people to be responsible. These are all benefits.
Do they turn a blind eye to it,
Or are you too stupid to even think of this?
Li Zitao didn't think they would be so stupid, but he still wanted to give it a try, so soon newspapers and radio stations in Hawaii began to broadcast a message in a loop.
It's the recruitment information, a butler of the Iolani Palace, salary negotiable.
There is one male and female maid supervisor each; the monthly salary is US$1,000, plus year-end bonus.
Male servants: 80,150; monthly salary of $200, plus year-end bonus.
Maids: 100,150; monthly salary of US$195, plus year-end bonus.
Gardener; 8 persons; monthly salary 270 dollars...
Electrician; 4...
handyman; 10...
When this information was first announced, it didn't seem to cause any disturbances, and it was only regarded as a joke when talking to neighbors.
It's just that the recruitment call started 5 minutes after the information was first broadcast, and it sounded like an alarm endlessly.
"So, they really didn't think of it?" Li Zitao who got the news really had a headache. Could it be that their brains were never used for thinking?
"I don't think they know much about your lifestyle," Tia said politely.
For those who never pay attention to the outside world, who would have thought of the splendor and extravagance of Li's apartment.
The salary of a servant who only serves a family can reach the level of a middle-level white-collar worker, and so many people will be needed.
This is something they never thought of.
"So the resistance has disappeared?" Li Zitao wanted an affirmative answer.
It was almost Christmas, and Mary was on her way home. He didn't want anyone to ruin the festive atmosphere.
"Yes, now we can talk about the price." Mahata's laughter came far from the microphone, and he must be very proud now.
"Someone will talk to you, Mahata, get ready to accept your gift!" Li Zitao hung up the phone with a smile.
"Boss, here is what you want." A transfer of property rights was placed on the table.
"Let them take it with you, and you know what to do with the rest."
"I'll have it handed over to Mr. Governor in person."
It's not the first time this kind of thing has been done, and Tia understands the rules very well, and knows better what to do and what not to do.
"Has the wine for the festival arrived yet?"
"Here we come, including ten cases of fine single malt whiskey from Camden Town." Farrandy had been preparing it a few weeks ago.
"Camden Town?" Li Zitao thought the name sounded familiar.
He lowered his head and found a document on the table. After opening it, he saw the answer he wanted.
Justina, Camden Town has her business, and her people have fought the Kray Brothers several times for this historic smuggling dock.
The two sides fought violently in the town, and even the police were implicated. Many police officers died as a result, which caused a great commotion.
In order to settle the matter, Justina spent a lot of money and asked Xu Man to act as an intermediary to let the committee come forward to negotiate peace with the Lake brothers.
The two parties now jointly own the local business, and the Kray brothers ensure the local peace and the safety of transportation between the businesses.
Justina opened a new door for them, opening up smuggling channels in North and South America.
This report was sent by Xu Man. Maybe Li Zitao didn't need to know what happened, but she had the responsibility to tell him what was going on.
In addition to presiding over the normal operations of Vegas, maintaining the peace and rules here, and monitoring these people wandering on the edge of darkness is also one of her responsibilities.
