Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Old Xu, come in and have a seat! What would you like to drink? "
"Brother Xia, don't be so busy!" Xu Yougang quickly said, "If there's anything, just tell me directly!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and let Xu Yougang sit down on the guest sofa. Then he said, "Old Xu, do you have any retired comrades with better military qualities? Of course, they must be absolutely reliable! "
Xu Yougang's eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother Xia, do you want to recruit some people to work in Australia?"
Because recruiting people from China to work in Australia would involve the issue of work visas, and the security work was more special. Here, they also needed to go through the procedures to carry guns. In addition, when people from China went abroad to work, they also needed to be given subsidies. The labor cost was not much less than directly recruiting people in Australia, and the procedures were more troublesome. Therefore, after discussing at the beginning stage, Xu Yougang and the other three finally chose to recruit people from Australia to form a security team. Xia Ruofei also agreed to this matter.
Now, listening to Xia Ruofei's intention, it seemed that he wanted to recruit some veterans.
From an emotional point of view, Xu Yougang was naturally more willing to recruit some old comrades, so after listening to Xia Ruofei's words, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It doesn't necessarily have to work in Australia. I need to train some people first. In the early stage, they may be in Australia. While training, they can also participate in the work here. Later, I plan to transfer them to other places to work."
Xia Ruofei was planning for the construction of Qingyun Island.
When it came to the security of Qingyun Island, the Family Liu's approach was to put a mercenary on the island and solve the problem with money.
Although this saved a lot of trouble, at the same time, there were many hidden dangers. The mercenaries only cared about money and had no loyalty at all. Once they encountered a strong enemy, after paying a certain amount of casualties, the mercenaries would most likely flee. After all, at that time, survival was the most important thing.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei needed to carry out some renovations on Qingyun Island. When the time came, the issue of security must be handed over to reliable people. Mercenaries were definitely out of the question.
He had some people in the Ring-Tu space, but in the outside world, Xia Ruofei had no absolute control over these people, so it was impossible for him to use them to guard Qingyun Island. To put it bluntly, these people were destined to spend the rest of their lives in the Ring-Tu space, unless Xia Ruofei obtained a method similar to the Soul Seal, which could allow him to control a large number of ordinary people.
After Xu Yougang heard Xia Ruofei's words, he didn't dare to ask more. He nodded and said, "We definitely have the manpower. I have a lot of comrades who have excellent military qualities. After they retired, many of them didn't have good jobs. How many people do you want? "
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "At least a hundred people! However, I will also recruit through other channels. Recruit as many as you can on your side. You must adhere to the principle of better quality than substandard. Although they are all brothers from the army, everyone has different experiences after retirement. The necessary screening still needs to be done. It's not that I don't trust my brothers. "
Xu Yougang said seriously, "Brother Xia, I understand! I will definitely do a good job in this regard. If there are any problems with the people I recruit, I will be responsible for them! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand. "It's not that serious! I'm just giving you a reminder! "
After the recruits were recruited, Xia Ruofei would definitely "interview" them one by one. The so-called interview was naturally through hypnosis to screen them one by one to prevent some people with ulterior motives from sneaking in.
After all, once the large formation of Qingyun Island was successfully set up, the importance of this island would be second only to the Ring-Tu space.
Xia Ruofei continued, "Also … you have to make it clear to your comrades that the place of work is not within the country, so it's best not to have too many ties. If the elderly in the family are not in good health, or if the children are very young … Of course, I'm not saying that we don't want this kind of situation. You have to make it clear to them and let them decide for themselves."
"Understood!" Xu Yougang said. "Brother Xia, if that's the case, I may have to return to the country first. After all, some things can't be explained clearly over the phone. Also, you said that we still have to go through a certain screening!"
Xia Ruofei said without hesitation, "You arrange the work here today and let Wang Chong be in charge for the time being. Tomorrow, you will fly back with me! "
"Yes!" Xu Yougang stood up and responded with vigor.
…
After resting for a while in the afternoon, Xia Ruofei went to the Paradise Farm and the two wineries to take a look. He also listened to Liang Qichao and Old West's progress reports and gave them full recognition for their work during this period of time.
After resting for a night in the Paradise Farm, Xia Ruofei, Liu Kuan, and Xu Yougang left the farm early in the morning and went straight to Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport.
After a night of rest, Liu An and the crew were 'full of energy' and were all in high spirits. When Xia Ruofei and the others entered the airport through the business jet passage, they were already prepared to fly.
Ten minutes later, the Haven took off from the runway of Kingsford Smith Airport and gracefully leaped into the sky.
After a long flight of around twelve hours, the Haven finally landed at Beijing's international airport.
Xia Ruofei and the others walked out of the business jet passage and quickly got into their respective cars to pick them up. Then, they drove into Beijing's airport highway.
Liu Kuan took the car sent by Family Liu and went straight back to Elder Liu's house to report on his work.
Xia Ruofei didn't go there. Instead, he took Xu Yougang and Wu Qiang's Toyota Elfa back to Liuhai Hutong Siheyuan.
There was a two-hour time difference between Beijing and Australia. When the plane took off from Sydney, it was around nine in the morning. When it landed in Beijing, it was around seven in the evening in Huaxia.
Because seven in Beijing was still the rush hour, it was around eight in the evening when they arrived home.
Although it wasn't too late, the two of them had been on the plane for more than ten hours. Moreover, Xia Ruofei and Xu Yougang had already eaten dinner on the plane when the plane was about to descend. Therefore, when they arrived at the siheyuan, they went straight to their rooms to rest.
…
In Family Liu's house, Liu Kuan, who had rushed back, didn't even take a breath before he went straight to Elder Liu's room.
"Master, I'm back!" Liu Kuan bowed slightly and said.
Elder Liu had been taking the medicine provided by Xia Ruofei for the past few days. Although his condition hadn't improved much, he was still in good spirits.
He smiled slightly and said, "Kuan, it's been hard on you to travel twenty thousand miles back and forth!"
"Master, you're too kind …" Liu Kuan said respectfully.
"Tell me! According to your observations over the past two days, what's Xiao Xia's attitude towards Qingyun Island? "Elder Liu asked lightly.
"Yes!" Liu Kuan bowed slightly and said, "Master, according to my judgment, Mr. Xia should be interested in Qingyun Island. After he arrived at Qingyun Island, he observed every place he visited carefully and asked a lot of questions. Then, he took a helicopter and flew around the island a few times. "
"Hmm!" Elder Liu asked calmly, "So, he might choose Qingyun Island?"
"I can't tell," Liu Kuan said honestly. Liu Kuan said honestly, "After all, Mr. Xia didn't show much interest, and I've tested him several times, but he didn't reveal anything. I don't know if he's interested in Qingyun Island, but one thing is for sure, and that is, even if he's inclined to choose Qingyun Island, he's not in a hurry. This can be seen from many details. Also, when he returned, he stayed in Sydney for a day, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to return home. "
Elder Liu showed a thoughtful expression and asked, "Then … if I want him to choose Qingyun Island, do you have any suggestions?"
"Master, I think Mr. Xia is a very opinionated person, and it's difficult for others to change his decision easily," Liu Kuan said. "If he's not willing to choose Qingyun Island, it's useless for us to say anything. But if he's already decided and wants Qingyun Island, then we don't need to do anything. We just need to wait for his notice."
"That makes sense …" Elder Liu nodded slowly and said.
Then, he sighed and said, "If it weren't for the fact that there are no better options, I really don't want him to choose Qingyun Island. That island is the result of more than ten years of our hard work! And if we really lose Qingyun Island, Family Liu will have no way out! "
Liu Kuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, don't you want him to choose cash? Why did you change your mind? "
Elder Liu smiled and said, "Actually, I want him to choose Family Liu's shares, but Xiao Xia is a smart person, and he probably won't choose shares. The reason why I included shares in the selection plan is because I'm holding on to a glimmer of hope, but it's actually not very hopeful."
Speaking of this, Elder Liu paused, as if he was a little out of breath after saying so much in one breath.
After a short while, he continued, "As for cash … It's very difficult for us to raise that much money. Even if we do manage to raise the money through some means, we'll lose such a huge amount of cash flow, and it's very likely that we'll fall into an irrecoverable situation … These can be solved by means of installment payments, but there are some difficulties that can't be solved."
"Master, I don't know much about these things," Liu Kuan said. "Whatever you say, I'll definitely do it. I promise I'll do whatever you say!"
Elder Liu laughed and said, "Actually, after thinking it through, I think that Qingyun Island's plan seems to be the most suitable for both sides. For us, although Qingyun Island is very precious, the project funds are invested year by year. Even if Qingyun Island doesn't give it to Xia Ruofei, the money has already been spent. For Xia Ruofei, he doesn't need such a huge amount of cash flow. Instead, having his own island in the distant South Pacific seems to be more attractive to young people of his age. "
Liu Kuan nodded and said, "I also think that Mr. Xia shouldn't be interested in the pure cash plan. As for Qingyun Island … I really can't tell what Mr. Xia's true thoughts are, but at least he has shown a certain amount of interest in Qingyun Island, so I think there's still a lot of hope. "
It could be said that Xia Ruofei's disguise was very successful. Liu Kuan didn't notice his intentions at all.
Liu Kuan's conclusion was basically the judgment that Xia Ruofei wanted him to make.
"Mm, I know what to do!" Old Liu nodded and said, "Kuan, you must be very tired after the long journey! Hurry up and go take a shower and rest! You don't have to worry about me tonight … "
Liu Kuan showed a trace of gratitude and said, "Thank you for your concern, master. Then you should rest early. I'll go down now."
"Go ahead!" Elder Liu waved his hand and said.
…
The next morning, after Xu Yougang accompanied Xia Ruofei for breakfast, he said goodbye to Xia Ruofei.
"Brother Xia, then I'll go first!" Xu Yougang said, "There just happen to be two comrades in Beijing. I'm going to talk to them first."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Well! Go ahead! Remember to tell them clearly about the pros and cons. Also, you can tell them that if they work here, their income will definitely be much higher than in China! "
"Okay, Brother Xia!" Xu Yougang replied respectfully.
