Chapter 302 Bad News
Lilia stopped Chen Ling, pointed to the wooden box, and smiled: “Let Tereza speak. Because it was a gift from her.”
“I’ve already said that I arranged it…” Chen Ling felt embarrassed because he was not around.
Lilia insisted: “I admit that you arranged it, but the things belonged to Tereza. Tereza, please tell me, as long as I can help, I will do my best. Not just because you gave me this Gift, and because I admire you so much, you are an outstanding representative of our women!”
Tereza modestly said: “Thank you Ms. Lilia, what I do is for the tribe, for the family. Everything in Trida belongs to the family, belongs to our patriarch…”
The members of the Morris family applauded, agreeing with Tereza’s statement, and Monteel is particularly hardworking.
Lilia scorned Chen Ling, with a smile on her mouth, and said: “Telisa, don’t need to say these nice things to Chen Ling, I know him best. Just say it!”
Tereza said: “I’m telling the truth. Our Trida is a good place, with desert scenery and sufficient water resources to meet the daily needs of thousands of people. As far as I know, many modern people I like to travel in the desert, but no one has ever been to Trida. Such good resources are wasted. Therefore, I want to develop Trida as a tourist destination…”
“Good idea!” Lilia and Miranda said at the same time.
Miranda pointed to Chen Ling, “Your patriarch must be willing to invest.”
“That’s what I want to say. Our Rotana Hotel Group is going to open a desert scenery resort in Aitrida.” Chen Ling took the opportunity to say, “But there is a land ownership issue. Tereza and Montel have lived for generations. In Trida, that area has been their home for hundreds of years, but there is no formal land registration. If the land rights are not clear, it is impossible to invest in this resort.”
Lilia smiled and said, “Just go to the land administration department to register. You are settled in Trida and you can own land.”
Tereza said: “We are worried that the land is legally public.”
“This is regulated by law. Tereza and Montere are Algerian nationals. If you invest and develop on state-owned land for more than two years, you can apply for the transfer of land.” Lilia said, “It is probably such a rule. Specifically, I can I’ll tell you after asking.”
Chen Ling reminded: “Lilia, it is our Rotana Group who wants to invest in development.”
“That won’t work. Foreign-invested companies cannot own Algeria’s land.” Lilia said bluntly, “You can lease, long-term lease.”
Chen Ling pondered for a moment and asked: “The land of several hotels of the Rotana Group in Algeria…”
Lilia smiled and said: “I don’t know about this. You send someone to investigate whether it was purchased or leased.”
Miranda suddenly smiled and said: “I have a solution to the problem of land ownership. Patriarch, as long as you become Algerian and then register your company in Algeria, you can own land.”
“Then, how can I become an Algerian?” Chen Ling never considered this issue.
The Milanese pointed their index fingers at Chen Ling and Lilia respectively, and said with a smile: “You can be together!”
“No kidding!” Lilia blushed, “I and Chen Ling are good friends, not…not that relationship!”
Chen Ling smiled and said, “Let’s discuss this issue later, huh? Anyway, renting land can also build a resort. Well, let’s have some tea? I have the best tea from China.”
Lilia and Chen Ling have a good opinion of each other and have deep interests, but they both know that the relationship between them can only stay on this level, and it is impossible to get closer. Lilia’s family would not agree, and Chen Ling himself would not be able to convert to ***, and the two would take their own different routes to help and support each other, which would be better and longer.
Lilia occasionally sprouts in spring, with impulsive words and behaviors, and Chen Ling will help her brake in time, just like the last time she was in Chongqing Hotel.
After the banquet was over, Chen Ling led Lilia and Miranda into his personal office.
This office was arranged by Saidu. It was originally used as a study room, but there was no book. Chen Ling changed it to a personal office, and moved a set of tea sets sent by CR company into it, which was convenient for drinking tea and chatting.
Tea culture originated in China, and it is generally believed that the tea tree originated in Sichuan or Yunnan; in the 17th century, tea was brought into Europe and then spread throughout the world.
Although Chen Ling drank tea, he was not addicted and did not have much research on tea. However, being a Chinese is enough for him to show off his tea culture.
After waiting for the water to boil, Chen Ling took out the tea cans, opened them to the two women, and said, “This is called Huangshan Maofeng, one of the top ten famous teas in China. It belongs to green tea and is mainly produced in Huangshan, Anhui Province… ”
“I can make tea.” Miranda grabbed a handful of tea from the tea can, opened the lid of the electric kettle, and was about to throw it in.
Chen Ling hurriedly stopped her and said, “We make tea and drink, not tea.”
“Make tea?”
“Yes, you look at it.” Chen Ling said, soaking three cups in a glass, “Look, the mist is topping, and the color of the soup is clear, blue and yellow…”
Lilia looked at the ups and downs of tea leaves and said, “Add half a candy.”
“I want half a candy too,” Miranda said. “Strain the leaves and add it.”
“Okay! Two princesses, please wait a moment.” Chen Ling gave up and said, “I will give you a cup of Lipton. Black tea or green tea?”
Lilia winked at Miranda and said, “No, you teach us to drink China tea. China’s tea is the best. Miranda and I will try it.”
“Really?” Chen Ling asked.
Lilia and Miranda nodded at the same time.
Chen Ling was very satisfied. He picked up the tea cup, smelled it first, then took a sip, nodded in satisfaction.
The two women followed.
“hot!”
“bitter!”
…
The two pampered beauties finally chose Lipton tea bags, and the three were able to chat happily.
Miranda asked: “Chen Ling, didn’t you say that you have no funds to invest in hotels? Why do you have money to invest in the desert now?”
“There is good news, I haven’t told you!” Chen Ling said, “The funding problem has been solved. Cousin Ani helped solve it. He made a special trip to Dubai and got three for Rotana on the same day. Letter of interest in financing.”
“Cousin Ani?” Lilia’s eyes widened. “When did you mix with him?”
Her expression was so cute, Chen Ling almost couldn’t help but squeeze her face, raised his hand heavily on his lap, and said, “You introduced it to me, did you forget it? He made a special trip this time. Dubai helped us Rotana Group, thank him after you go back.”
“I don’t thank him! Don’t tell me in advance…how much is the total?”
“Three letters of interest, a total of 160 million U.S. dollars, enough for us to open four or five hotels.” Chen Ling said, “We have four existing, one is under construction; now Bamako is preparing to build one, Trida is over. You can spend less… Miranda, the land in Luanda will trouble you.”
Miranda was very satisfied. Chen Ling immediately thought of herself and said, “No problem, I will arrange it. When are you going to Luanda?”
“I personally want to return home soon, but Jacques will arrange for a professional person to go there and talk to yours.”
Jacques is Nabil, who has changed his name and is now the CEO of Rotana Hotel Group.
Miranda said: “Okay, let them do the technical work first. You come early. We in Angola are already at peace. Post-war reconstruction is in great demand and there are many opportunities. Housing, roads, railways… a lot of things to do.”
“Yes, Chen Ling, you can help Miranda,” Lilia said, “make some money by the way.”
Miranda suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: “You two sang a harmony. Tell me honestly, what are you going to do in the future?”
…
With funds to back it up, Chen Ling speeds up the hotel’s expansion. One of the most important is design and construction. This matter has been handed over to the CS company, and Mr. Feng has personally led the team to Bamako to survey the selected plots and survey the scene.
Now to speed up the progress, Chen Ling plans to meet with Mr. Feng and have a good talk.
However, Mr. Feng’s cell phone turned off.
When Chen Ling got through to Mr. Li’s phone, Mr. Li told him a very bad news.
Mr. Feng has been kidnapped!
