Chapter 9: Recruiting Again on the Boat

  The "American Princess" sailing on the high seas, a room emitted a loud and low reading voice. Guo Yu smiled at Erzhu and others who were struggling to read English, thinking of his own experience of taking the CET-6 in college, seeing the current scene, feeling so delightful.

  "Mr. Guo, would you like to have a drink with me?" Lisa extended the invitation after the third day of class.

  "It's my honor to be invited by the lady." The two had dinner and drank red wine at the restaurant, then Guo Yu was once again invited to visit Lisa's room, and Guo Yu once again gladly agreed. This is the rhythm of being hooked, I'm afraid who will pass.

  It was as if it was a matter of course that the inevitable would happen, dry wood meeting fierce fire, beautiful woman meeting visiting guest, a great war broke out in Lisa's room, very tragic, can only be described as darkening the sky and eclipsing the sun. Even the robust physique of Western women was sent flying several times by Guo Yu.

  The next day, after waking up and having breakfast served by the beauty, Guo Yu suddenly felt that he should recruit a few European subordinates. After all, in America, it's easier to get things done with white skin, and if he wanted to start his own business, he would need a lot of manpower.

  "Lisa, want to do something for me?"

  "What are you doing, is your exclusive lover?" Lisa had a good impression of this strong man, after all, women were conquered starting from their bodies.

  "This is also one of them, and there are many other jobs that can be done, such as being a secretary, contacting business, managing factories, etc." Guo Yu replied.

  "I need to think about it, I've been on this damn ship for over a year, I hate it, but I have nowhere else to go. I'm already 27 years old, I can't be a prostitute all my life, I hate being a prostitute. Will you give me enough income to live on, Guo? If you can guarantee my future, I'll follow you and be your mistress." Then she let out a loud cry and threw herself at Guo Yu, kissing him passionately on the mouth.

  "Lisa, you can start working from today. Your first task is to find a few talented people for me on the ship. I'll need a lot of manpower when I arrive in America and start working. Remember, I want talented people, preferably those who are reliable." Gu Yu said, hugging Lisa.

  Lisa's actions were swift, and by the afternoon, she had taken Guo Yu to a bar. The two ordered a bottle of wine at the counter and sipped it slowly. Lisa pointed to the white man playing the piano in the bar and said: "His name is 'Yarveld', the second son of a declining aristocratic family in England, who has no right to inherit property and titles, and can only make his own way. It's said that he received higher education, and last time on the American Princess, when he arrived in England, he applied for the position of pianist on the ship. He shouldn't stay on the ship for too long, I guess he came to broaden his social horizons."

  "You talk to him and bring him to my room before dinner, I want to have a good chat with him." Guo Yu said after thinking for a moment.

  Guo Yu returned to his room to read a book and wait for Lisa to bring people over. Half an hour later, Lisa brought Yarveld to Guo Yu's guest room.

  "Mr. Alfried, I'll get straight to the point, do you need a job? Give me a job." Gu Yu said bluntly.

  "You can call me Al, yes Mr. Guo, I've been searching for a job that suits me after completing my studies, but if the job doesn't suit me, I'd rather continue drifting on the ocean," said Yalvared.

  "We have a preliminary understanding, then let's get to know each other, Al," said Guo Yu.

  "I was born in the UK, my father is a hereditary baron, but our family has no fiefdom and no stable income, it's very difficult now. I have an older brother who will inherit the title of the family, and what I can get is to complete my university education. I studied at Cambridge Business School, majoring in law, mainly business law, and graduated last year."

  "The next step is to broaden my social experience and knowledge, of course, I'm doing that now, and also looking for opportunities on the road while traveling." Al said, picking up the tea in front of him and taking a sip "The tea is great, authentic Chinese tea, and it should be very high-end."

  "I've got a lot, I can give you some," said Guo Yu with a smile. "I'm going to America to develop my business, I've already made contact with the Rockefeller family, one of my important technical patents will be sold to them, and my condition is to get protection from the Rockefellers, I hope you join my team, I think you'll have unexpected gains, after your strength increases, I don't think it's impossible to inherit a title from the family." Guo Yu was stirring up Al's inner defense line non-stop.

  Dinner was served in the room, and Guo Yu, Lisa, and Al had dinner together before continuing their conversation. It could be seen that Al wasn't a talkative person, but he had enough wisdom to think about his own path. To Guo Yu, Al was a rare talent.

  Although Al and Guo Yu had a very good talk, he still said that he needed to consider it overnight and would definitely reply the next day. When Al knocked on Guo Yu's door the next morning, Guo Yu knew that Al had made up his mind.

  Okay, the following work went smoothly, with Al as a professional, helping Gu Yu to recruit two more people on the ship. One was a 45-year-old retired German army lieutenant named 'Reinhard', who was in charge of managing service staff on the ship. The other was an American middle school teacher named 'Brown', who liked traveling and teaching, looking like a very patient middle-aged man.

  Guo Yu, who had been idle for a while, suddenly remembered his own martial arts studies and called Er Zhu to ask about martial arts. Er Zhu talked endlessly about various schools and boxing techniques, allowing Guo Yu to understand many of the current rumors in the Republic's martial arts world.

  It's not too late to learn martial arts, and Guo Yu's body has undergone multiple transformations, changing his physical abilities, making him more agile, with super strong memory. After learning from Er Zhu for a few days, he can already mimic the moves, and from now on, it's just a matter of continuous practice, turning the fist techniques into instincts, which is a long-term process.

  Days passed quickly in everyone's study, when they heard the cheers of people on the ship, Guo Yu knew that America had arrived. People rushed to the deck, and on the deck, they could already see the Statue of Liberty standing at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York. America had arrived.

  When they walked down the gangway, Guo Yu's group had grown to eleven people. There were people waiting at the dock, who were from Meifu Company, with a big sign that read "Zhonghua Guo" in Chinese characters, it seemed they did things very professionally.

  The horse-drawn carriage was clearly unable to accommodate so many people, and another horse-drawn carriage had to be hired at the dock. The group then headed straight for a hotel in downtown New York City.

  On the carriage, a Mobil Oil employee named Hart told Guo Yu that the European war had broken out and the world was in chaos. America had not joined in yet, but heaven knows when it would be America's turn.

  After settling in at the hotel, Hart told Guo Yu to rest for two days and then arrange for a professional mechanic from Mobil to evaluate his design. Mobil hopes that Guo Yu's design can achieve the effect he said it would, as this is the basis for future matters.

  Guo Yu, who had been idle for a long time, ran back home, of course, it was his modern home. More than a month had passed, and Guo Yu's company "Hua Fu Auction House" had recruited personnel and prepared for operation, so it was time for him to take action as the big boss.

  Zhang Chong is now eagerly waiting for Guo Yu's antiques, and he can't help but make a big show in the auction industry.

  Kuo Yu has already used the treasure chest game mode on the boat to help Zhang Chong choose six items, which should be able to make the first business of "Hua Fu" famous and achieve the effect of promoting "Hua Fu".

  This time, Guo Yu chose to auction paintings, all of which are from famous painters of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. They include Lang Shining's "Spring Hunt", Wang Jian's "Spring Breeze Brushing Willows", Shi Tao's "Bamboo Chrysanthemum Stone", Wang Yuanqi's "Zhou Mountain Clouds and Mist", and Qi Baishi's "Small Courtyard Chrysanthemums" and "Autumn Insects", totaling six paintings, each a masterpiece.

  All of these works are paintings that have never appeared in modern times, and it is unknown whether they were lost or destroyed in the war, but this is just right for Guo Yu's operation.

  After decades of war and looting by foreign tribes in the Republic of China, these precious cultural heritages of the Chinese nation were almost completely lost. Guo Yu felt that he was also making a rescue effort for cultural heritage.
