After repeatedly confirming that he wasn't joking, Suolong happily led him to the beach's public management office.
Originally, Suolong had planned to invite Jill along, but she used the excuse of needing to watch the kids, so she stayed on the beach.
After all, if she went to the management office, the contract probably wouldn't get signed!
Watching Suolong, who was patting his chest and guaranteeing the absolute safety of the beach, with dedicated personnel to look after the kids, Li Qingyuan wanted nothing more than to rush up and sew his mouth shut.
Why did you, a big, bearded man, have to talk so much?
Couldn't you just be a good background character?
Fortunately, Jill hadn't thought too much about it. She waved her hand, telling him to go with peace of mind, that she would definitely watch over the three unreliable kids at home and wouldn't let anyone steal their food!
With a slightly guilty conscience, Li Qingyuan smiled and followed the other person into the public administration office.
On the way here, he had learned from the other person that the beach they were on was called Emerald Bay, and that its current ownership was in the hands of a woman named Victoria Liz.
The beach lifeguard team that Suolong belonged to wasn't actually under Liz's jurisdiction. The lifeguard team was a public welfare organization affiliated with the Emerald Town government.
Their salaries were pitifully low, but they could sell small goods on the beach and rent out rubber boats, which was how they managed to keep the entire lifeguard team from starving.
Logically speaking, with such a difficult life, they should have wholeheartedly supported Liz's plan to develop the beach.
However, Suolong said that CJ and the lifeguard team captain, Mickey, both loved life and nature. They were very satisfied with the current state of the beach and absolutely wouldn't allow Liz to wantonly destroy it.
Of course, if Liz only wanted to develop tourism, then they would be dissatisfied but would not target her. But after investigation, they found that Liz seemed to be a descendant of a Latin American mafia family. Her large-scale development of beach tourism was not only for making money, but also to make this place a criminal protection base for the family.
If Emerald Bay became a famous tourist destination, then no matter how many people came and went, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention. At that time, whether it was smuggling drugs from Latin America or kidnapping beautiful women from the beach and selling them elsewhere, it would be easy.
It could be said that Liz had some foresight. Emerald Bay was not only beautiful and could definitely be built into a tourist destination, but it was also not far from New York in a straight line. If she really succeeded in building it, this place would definitely be qualified to become an important underground black market trading center.
It's just that the other party's plan seemed beautiful, but it was full of loopholes in reality.
They actually let a group of lifeguards discover her plan. I don't know how that woman's subordinates do things!
However, when Li Qingyuan saw the so-called lifeguard team captain, he knew that the woman named Liz didn't lose unfairly.
The guy in front of him, who was only slightly taller than himself, wasn't Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson?
"Hello, Mr. Li, right? I'm Mickey, the lifeguard captain. Suolong said you're planning to buy the beach?" Mickey greeted enthusiastically. Their group had been in a state of utter chaos and bewilderment recently.
Liz's criminal plan hadn't fully unfolded yet; they'd only gotten wind of it, but lacked sufficient evidence to expose her.
Waiting until she started acting before seeking evidence would be too late.
The entire lifeguard team consisted of five people: Suolong, CJ, Mickey, and Big Daddario, plus a tan-skinned girl. Was her name Steve or Stephen?
That question wasn't important; she wasn't his type anyway!
"Yes, Suolong explained the details on the way here. But the question now is, since she's planning to use this place as a criminal transit base, why would she sell?" Li Qingyuan rested his chin in his hand, lost in thought, his mind filled with Big Daddario's…
No, he was recalling the plot!
He hadn't realized he'd fallen into some weird plot when he first saw CJ and Big Daddario. But when he saw Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, if he still didn't know this was definitely a messed-up movie, he'd have lived in vain!
After all, all the stars in the main world were completely different from the ones he'd seen before. So, without asking, as long as he saw someone familiar from his previous life, he could be absolutely certain he'd stumbled into some strange and bizarre plot.
Anyway, this world has already been invaded by Detective Chinatown and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so adding The Rock isn't a big deal.
He racked his brains, but he couldn't remember which movie it was from, and finally concluded that he just hadn't seen it.
It couldn't be helped. Although The Rock was a big star in his previous life, he wasn't a philosopher, so why would he watch movies about male stars for no reason?
What a pity. If he had known earlier that Big Daddario was such a dazed girl on the beach, he would have come to intercept her long ago.
"It's like this, although the operating rights of the beach are in Liz's hands, the ownership of the beach is in the hands of several big businessmen in the town. As long as Liz doesn't completely control the ownership of the beach, she can't develop and build on a large scale!" Obviously, these people had already thought of countermeasures and quickly spoke.
"There are still a few people in the town who hold the ownership of the beach. Liz is sending people to contact them. Although those people are all well-known figures in the town, they have no room to bargain in front of Liz. In the end, they will definitely sell the ownership to that woman!"
Mickey analyzed calmly, and Big Daddario nodded in agreement, which made someone nod his head up and down.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake. It's only natural that the ownership of Emerald Bay is controlled by several celebrities in the town.
Generally speaking, the local tycoons in these towns hold significant influence, and outsiders often find themselves at a disadvantage.
However, everything has two sides. If the newcomer is strong enough to sweep away all the local bullies and troublemakers, then the local tycoons' power becomes utterly insignificant!
Liz represents the interests of a certain Latin American mafia family. Perhaps this unknown mafia family would be swallowed up by the likes of Kingpin in Manhattan, but in a place like Emerald Bay, they are undoubtedly a behemoth.
It's like an alligator suddenly appearing in a fishpond. Those black fish and turtles that used to rule the pond are nothing more than prey in the alligator's eyes!
