Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 214 How could there be a rainforest island near Hong Kong Island?
Hu Jiangshan didn't care, after all, he had offended Zhang Xiaorou before.

It was at a charity dinner. Hu Jiangshan wanted to get close to Chen Yifei, but Zhang Xiaorou kept obstructing him, so Hu Jiangshan behaved very rudely at the time.

It is understandable that Zhang Xiaorou is so wary of Hu Jiangshan.

However, from Hu Jiangshan's perspective, he has no psychological burden towards Chen Yifei.

Hu Jiangshan is completely different now and has no bad intentions towards Chen Yifei.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan smiled and said to Chen Yifei: "The sea breeze on the deck is quite strong. You can go to the observation lounge on the second and third floors. There are also some food and drinks there. You two can enjoy them at will."

Chen Yifei nodded: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Hu."

"You're welcome."

Just as Hu Jiangshan was about to turn around and leave, Chen Yifei asked, "By the way, Mr. Hu, how long will it take to get there?"

Hu Jiangshan replied: "About half an hour. The weather is very good today, and the wind and waves are not strong. It should be smooth."

Chen Yifei nodded: "So it's so close, thank you for your hard work in arranging such a good boat."

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "It's not hard, I'm happy to help."

After saying that, Hu Jiangshan returned to the cockpit and began to study the various functions of this ultra-luxury yacht.

Compared with the Seahorse, this yacht is simply more luxurious and has many more functions.

Even the functions that are also available on the Seahorse are of completely different levels and strengths, especially the various safety guarantees, which are very complete and can even withstand super storms at sea.

There are also many luxurious configurations, including a very popular stern swimming pool.

On calm seas, the stern can be opened, revealing an open inflatable swimming pool on the sea surface, which is much more magnificent than the Seahorse.

Of course, this is normal. After all, the price difference between the Seahorse and this luxury flying bridge yacht is nearly ten times.

At the same time, Chen Yifei and Zhang Xiaorou also walked into the lounge on the third floor.

Hu Rongguo, Li Shuning, Wang Qiumin and other crew members were discussing things in the lounge on the second floor.

Chen Yifei was not interested in those, so she went to the third floor with Zhang Xiaorou.

The two of them sat on the large and luxurious sofa, looking at the surrounding scenery. They stood high and saw far. The sunlight shining on the sea turned it into emerald blue, which was very beautiful.

The lounge also has 360-degree panoramic glass. Even the skylight is very transparent and can block 99% of ultraviolet rays.

No matter how strong the sun is, you won't feel overheated.

There is also a large double-door refrigerator and a wine cabinet.

Zhang Xiaorou went over and opened the refrigerator. It was full of various drinks and mineral water. Almost all the drinks available on the market were there.

"Yifei, what do you want to drink? Still mineral water?"

"Yes, mineral water."

"Oh, it's tasteless and boring."

Despite saying that, Zhang Xiaorou still got Chen Yifei a bottle of mineral water.

Chen Yifei is a very self-disciplined person and almost never drinks alcohol.

Of course, if you drink light cocktails or beer with people you trust, it’s not a big problem, but you definitely won’t touch anything with a slightly higher alcohol content.

As for beverages, Chen Yifei rarely drinks.

Chen Yifei doesn't say that she maintains her figure for the sake of her career as an actress, but mainly because she feels it is not good for her health.

Zhang Xiaorou said, "Hu Jiangshan just said it would only take half an hour to get there. It's probably not a very good island."

"Well, Yifei, why don't we just wait and see. Don't get your hopes up too much, or you'll be disappointed."

Chen Yifei took a sip of water and said, "You think too much. I don't have any hope."

Chen Yifei didn't care at all, and had a nonchalant attitude, but she did go to Hu Jiangshan's island out of curiosity.

Although Zhang Xiaorou spoke too bluntly, Chen Yifei actually agreed with Zhang Xiaorou's idea in her heart.

Chen Yifei often comes to Hong Kong Island. As far as she knows, there are few beautiful islands nearby. Most of them are rocky islands because they are too close.

The islands we visited with Hu Rongguo yesterday were already quite good. They were the ceiling among the outlying islands, at least they were sizable and inhabited islands.

Hu Rongguo also said yesterday that there are not many outlying islands like that in the waters near Hong Kong Island.

Moreover, if these large islands were sold outside, the price would definitely be sky-high.

That is not something that Hu Jiangshan can afford. Unless he is the richest man in the world, no matter how rich he is, he cannot afford it.

As the two were talking, Zhang Xiaorou suddenly stood up with a surprised expression.

Chen Yifei asked curiously: "What's wrong? What did you see?"

"That...that..."

Chen Yifei looked in the direction Zhang Xiaorou was staring and indeed discovered something extremely special.

It is an island. It doesn’t look very big from a distance, but it is very distinctive.

Trees. Lots of trees.

That's right, the island seems to be covered with trees, so densely packed that it looks like a tropical rainforest island.

This is beyond the general public's understanding.

How could there be such an island in Hong Kong?

Generally speaking, such islands can only be found in Southeast Asia, the Southern Hemisphere, and South America.

Because of the lush trees, the island looks very delicate, very different from other nearby outlying islands.

If you look closely, there is even a lighthouse on top, which is much taller than the trees. It looks like a magic tower in a movie, adding a strong sense of mystery.

Zhang Xiaorou couldn't help but ask, "Yifei, that island... couldn't it be the island that Hu Jiangshan bought?"

Chen Yifei said: "That should be it. You see, the direction we are heading is towards that island."

"Ah? This is too... Hu Jiangshan bought such an island. This is too rare."

“It’s rare indeed.”

Chen Yifei is also a very knowledgeable person.

Looking from such a distance, such a stunning outlying island should theoretically have been bought by someone long ago. How could Hu Jiangshan have gotten such a bargain?
It’s really hard to understand.

At the same time, Hu Rongguo, Wang Qiumin, Li Shuning and others who were talking in the lounge on the second floor also saw the island.

Everyone was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Wang Qiu Ming was a little excited: "Oh my, is that the island that Mr. Hu bought? It looks very unique! So magical, I don't think I've ever seen such a densely forested island on Hong Kong Island. Is there one on Three Crowns Island? It seems that there is no island with such dense forests, right?"

At this time, Hu Guorong was speechless, his eyes were wide open and his eyeballs were about to pop out.

"…How is this possible? How could there be an island like this near Hong Kong Island? It's impossible!"

Wang Qiuming was very surprised and asked, "Manager Hu, a local like you has never seen an island like this?"

Hu Rongguo shook his head: "Director Wang, I've never seen it. I really have never seen it before. Theoretically, there is no such island in the waters near Hong Kong Island. To be honest, I've never even heard of it!" It was a bit unreasonable for Hu Rongguo to say this. Hu Jiangshan was his relative, but he didn't even know what kind of outlying island Hu Jiangshan bought.

But others just found it very strange.

It would be fine if outsiders didn’t know about it, but even locals like Hu Rongguo didn’t know about the existence of this island. It seems that this island is very rare.

Before long, the island was getting closer and closer. Everyone kept staring at it and could vaguely see the pier.

Why do you say vaguely?

Because the trees on the island are so dense, even though we are very close to it, the pier is still looming, and there feels a mysterious atmosphere everywhere.

If you have a more vivid imagination, you might even wonder if there are any ferocious animals on the island, such as snakes, lizards, etc.

Wang Qiumin became more and more excited.

As a director who started out as a photographer, Huang Qiuming is very good at discovering beautiful footage.

A scene like this is what I dream of.

Originally, Wang Qiumin was a little disappointed after visiting the places arranged by Hu Rongguo yesterday.

In Wang Qiumin's opinion, there were no scenes or shots in those places that were particularly worth photographing.

Wang Qiumin didn't have much hope for today's temporarily arranged trip, he just wanted to try his luck.

Who knew that Wang Qiumin would get such a big surprise before even landing on the island.

Wang Qiumin is already getting ready, looking forward to discovering some interesting places after arriving on the island.

It didn't take long before the luxury yacht docked at the pier.

Everyone boarded the island one after another, looked left and right, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking very carefully, and then exclaimed one after another.

"Wow, the trees on the island are so tall!"

“It really does look like a rainforest island.”

"Have you noticed? It's not hot here at all."

"Of course, with so many trees, the sun can't get in, so of course it's not hot."

Hu Rongguo was still in shock.

When he stepped onto the island, Hu Rongguo was sure that it was not an illusion, not the legendary mirage, but a real island, and an outlying island only half an hour's flight from Hong Kong Island.

When Hu Jiangshan got off the boat, Hu Rongguo quickly pulled him aside.

"Brother Jiangshan, what's going on with this island?"

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "What's going on?"

"Why? Why is there such an island near Hong Kong Island? Why have I never heard of it?"

Hu Jiangshan laughed: "You haven't heard of it, which means you don't care about it. This is called information asymmetry, information cocoon, Schrödinger's cat, do you understand?"

Hu Jiangshan didn't know how to explain it, so he just made up some nonsense to try to get away with it.

Hu Rongguo was not so easily fooled. He said, "No, no, I have been to many outlying islands near Hong Kong Island, almost all of them, but I have never seen an island like this, not even one. For a small island like this, it would be great if there were a few trees on the island..."

At this point, Hu Rongguo pointed to the surrounding scenery and said, "There are so many trees. How can there be such an outlying island? If it really exists, it would have been bought by someone else long ago."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and patted Hu Rongguo on the shoulder: "You should believe your eyes. This is not a virtual reality game. It is real. If you don't believe me, go touch those trees and see if they are real."

Of course, Hu Rongguo would not be stupid enough to actually touch those trees.

How could this be fake? Unless he was dreaming.

Hu Jiangshan added, "Okay, go and take the crew around. I still have some things to take care of on the island. I'll be there with you guys later."

"Ah, you want us to wander around the island by ourselves? I don't know where it is, what if we get lost?"

It's incredible that you can get lost on such a small island.

Hu Jiangshan said: "Don't worry, I will find a guide for you, just follow him."

As he spoke, Hu Jiangshan took out his cell phone and made a call, preparing to ask Zhang Rui to find an employee to take them around the island.

Hu Rongguo was even more shocked.

At this time, he saw with his own eyes that Hu Jiangshan not only made a call, but also that the call went through and his speech was very clear.

Hu Rongguo quickly took out his cell phone and was shocked when he saw it.

Oh my god! There is actually a cell phone signal, and it’s full!

After Hu Jiangshan finished the call, Hu Rongguo quickly asked: "Brother Jiangshan, why is there a mobile phone signal on the island?"

Hu Jiangshan replied: "Isn't it normal for the island to have a signal? Otherwise, how can we communicate with the outside world?"

“But how could a telecommunications company install a signal tower on such a small outlying island?”

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said: "Money makes the world go round."

This is indeed an explanation, but Hu Rongguo still couldn't believe it.

If it is a large outlying island, since there are many people living there, the telecommunications company will definitely solve the problem of mobile phone signals.

But how many people can live on such a small island?
Theoretically, it is impossible to do this. The cost is too high and no amount of money can sustain it.

Just then, everyone heard a slight buzzing sound coming from far away, and then an electric car drove over.

This is an island commuter vehicle specially designed by Hu Jiangshan. It can carry up to eight people, runs very balanced, and has a canopy, making it semi-open.

In this way, you can enjoy the scenery while driving without worrying about rain or sun.

This commuter car even has an automatic cruise control function, which can automatically drive along the asphalt road as long as the route is set.

It can also avoid obstacles automatically, which is very smart.

More importantly, it is also equipped with a solar system, which greatly enhances its endurance.

Hu Jiangshan has only manufactured five electric commuter vehicles so far, and he plans to manufacture more of the same type of electric vehicles in the future. At least ten vehicles will be needed on Tenglong Island.

The commuter bus was driven by a guide called by Hu Jiangshan.

She was a young girl named Yang Wanlu, and she was quite pretty.

Hu Jiangshan had an impression of Yang Wanlu, who was a new recruit.

Although Yang Wanlu looks cute, she is actually a top student majoring in semiconductors and has very good abilities.

Yang Wanlu greeted Hu Jiangshan immediately when she saw him.

Hu Jiangshan gave Yang Wanlu some instructions and asked her to take the crew to see some beautiful places.

Yang Wanlu understood everything, and Zhang Rui had explained it to her in advance.

In addition, Yang Wanlu herself was also very smart. She made an OK gesture to Hu Jiangshan, let the others get in the car, and then drove away in the electric commuter car.
