The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7345 - 7346

“To show your appreciation?”

Bernard Elno’s heart skipped a beat. Although he guessed charlie’s motive, he still asked nervously, “How do you want me to express it?”

charlie said: “You decide for yourself.”

Bernard Elno suddenly began to worry, thinking to himself: “charlie asked me to figure it out myself, what should I do? You can’t ask me to give him 10 billion or 800 million US dollars as a thank you fee? He has made so much money from selling me the rejuvenation pill, how can I have so much money to give him?”

He thought for a moment, “After this incident is exposed, the future of Baima Island will probably be very bleak. After all, dozens of people died on this island. Which guest wouldn’t think twice before coming?”

So, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth secretly, and said to charlie: “Mr. Ye, our group invested 700 million US dollars and spent several years to build the White Horse Island. It has just been put into use not long ago. Since you and your family like to come to the Maldives for vacation, I might as well give this island to you! As a small token of my appreciation!”

After saying that, he was afraid that charlie would feel that it was not enough, so he quickly added: “Don’t worry, I have signed a 99-year lease for this island with the Maldives. I will pay you the rent for 99 years in one lump sum, and invest another 100 million US dollars in Baima Island as a future maintenance and upgrade fund to ensure that you and your family can enjoy the best vacation experience here anytime, anywhere. What do you think?”

charlie snorted and laughed twice, and asked him: “Mr. Elno, you are really generous. An island where dozens of people died and will soon be famous all over the world because of terrorist attacks. You gave it to me. Is this considered recycling waste?”

Bernard Arno was suddenly embarrassed.

charlie’s words hit the nail on the head. Even though a total of 700 million US dollars were invested in this island, most of the 700 million US dollars could not be taken away.

For example, when they were reclaiming land and expanding the island’s area, not a penny of the money could be taken away.

As for all the hardware facilities on this island, although a lot of money was spent, there is really no way to recover their value if you want to recycle them. Because if those hardware are dismantled from the Maldives and then recycled, the business logic is almost as absurd as spending a hundred dollars to make a counterfeit dollar.

Therefore, as long as what happened on Baima Island today gets out, Baima Island will almost lose its economic value.

Even if the prices are slashed to attract tourists who don’t mind these things to come to the island, profitability will be greatly reduced.

So it’s almost like a piece of waste.

Giving this thing to charlie seems to be quite valuable, but charlie is smart and can see through the water in it at a glance.

So, Bernard Elno gritted his teeth and said quickly: “By the way, Mr. Ye, there is another seven-star island in the Maldives, which is the JD Island of the Dubai Consortium. How about I buy that island personally and give it to you!”

JD Island, owned by the Dubai consortium, has recently been seeking to be sold. It ranks among the top three in the Maldives and is worth more than 500 million US dollars.

However, the international high-end tourism market has been somewhat sluggish in the past two years, and JD Island’s revenue capacity has declined, so the Dubai consortium plans to sell the island and withdraw.

When the market is depressed, most people want to withdraw. There are not many people who are able and willing to take over JD Island. Bernard Arnault can be said to be the only one.

He had previously had a brief communication with the Dubai consortium, whose psychological price was about 600 million US dollars, and he felt that it could be acquired for about 500 million US dollars. Since charlie had seen through his little trick, he might as well buy JD Island and give it to him.

So, while charlie didn’t answer, he continued to add: “Mr. Ye, I’ll just give you both JD Island and Baima Island! If you think Baima Island is not suitable for living, you can also use it for the soldiers of Wanlong Hall to spend their vacation. They are all well-trained mercenaries, and they shouldn’t care if some people died on this island, right?”

charlie couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and smiled: “Hey, Mr. Elno, don’t say it, don’t say it, your attitude now is much more sincere than that profiteer face just now.”

Bernard Elno smiled politely and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Ye, I didn’t think it through just now and made you laugh. Although today’s incident will have a great impact on the reputation of White Horse Island, it should not have a big impact on the entire Maldives. After all, this incident is an exception, and it is an exception planned by Blackwater Company, so JD Island’s future business will not be greatly affected. If you want to make money with this island, you can directly entrust it to others and earn a very generous rent every year. If you think this island is not bad, you can keep it as a vacation resort for you and your family.”

After that, he continued, “The overall hardware of Baima Island is still very good. This incident will be more or less unlucky, but I believe that the experienced soldiers of Wanlong Palace will not care. Don’t worry, I will be responsible for the subsequent maintenance of this island.”

At this moment, Bernard Elno no longer dared to have any hope in his heart.

The money that should be spent must be spent in order to have an effect.

I want to please charlie, this is just a small token of my appreciation, and I will definitely have to continue to show my kindness to him in the future, so that I can maintain a relatively good relationship with him, and lay a good foundation for myself to continue to obtain the Rejuvenation Pill in the future.

charlie also said very straightforwardly: “Since you are so thoughtful, I will definitely not let you down. Let’s do as you say. However, you don’t have to transfer the ownership of these two islands to me. Just put them in your name and you can hold them on my behalf.”

“No problem!” Bernard Arno patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry about this. Another advantage of registering it under my name and letting me hold it on your behalf is that my money can be transferred to these two islands through my group at any time to ensure the daily operation and maintenance of these two islands!”

charlie nodded: “Just tell me when you’re done with this matter.”

Bernard Elno said repeatedly: “No problem, leave it to me! Oh, by the way, Mr. Ye, what will be done with JD Island after it is purchased? Will it be entrusted or continue to operate?”

charlie waved his hand: “Just close down the business, lay off all the staff on the island, give them double compensation and severance pay, you pay for this money, after everyone is laid off, I will send a group of soldiers from the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall regularly, some disguised as staff, some disguised as tourists, this way, we will directly form an internal closed loop on the road.”

Bernard Elno couldn’t help but praise: “Oh, Mr. Ye, you are so resourceful! This internal closed-loop method not only makes JD Island look like it is still operating normally, but also allows our soldiers from the Wanlong Palace to take turns to come and rest. Once you and your family come, they can also ensure the safety of the island. It really kills two birds with one stone!”
