Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 531 The Boss, He's Actually the Boss Here!
In fact, Hu Jiangshan could have easily found an electric commuter vehicle to drive there himself.

But Hu Jiangshan felt that was meaningless. Since he had met these media people and travel bloggers who had been invited, he might as well join them and listen to their thoughts.

Although Hu Jiangshan will not actually operate the resort on Tenglong Island, he is still one of the major shareholders and not just a landlord. The success of the resort's operation directly affects his profits.

Besides, the resort was ultimately built by Hu Jiangshan, who put a lot of thought into its design. Now that the resort is fully developed, it's time to put it to the test and let these travel experts give their opinions. Hu Jiangshan is very curious about what they will say and how they will feel.

Wang Zining and Chen Jiahui also noticed that Hu Jiangshan was sitting in the back.

The two exchanged a smile but didn't greet Hu Jiangshan. Having a handsome guy sitting behind them was a pretty good experience.

Soon, everyone on the electric commuter bus was captivated by the scenery.

As I said before, the scenery on Tenglong Island is absolutely top-notch on the planet. Anyone who isn't blind would find it hard to ignore, and even the most discerning tourist wouldn't be able to find any flaws.

Especially when driving along the coastal highway, you can turn your head and see the magnificent Tenglong Lake, which is as beautiful as jade. It feels like you are driving on the edge of a miracle, as if you can reach out and touch it.

Looking at the blue and green bay is so refreshing that it makes you forget the heat of the sun for a moment.

Everyone exclaimed in amazement, as if any words of praise were insufficient to fully describe the magnificence and beauty of the place.

"This is so beautiful! How can there be such a beautiful place?"

"To be honest, if I hadn't come here in person and seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such a place existed. I would have thought it was a fabricated image."

"I agree. When I watched 'Running Man,' I thought the scenery was so beautiful that it looked almost unreal. I thought it was cut out from a green screen. I didn't expect that there would actually be such a place. And when I came here in person, I felt that it was even more beautiful than what I saw on TV."

"Do you know what the key issue is? The key issue is that this is an outlying island of Hong Kong Island. If such a place existed before, how could it be completely unknown? I've never heard of it before."

"That's true. If it were developed a little, it would have become a famous tourist destination on Earth long ago."

Hu Jiangshan smiled as he listened to what these people were saying.

They're right, there's never been such a nice place before.

Hu Jiangshan put a lot of effort into transforming Tenglong Bay. He did have the help of the Tech Engine APP and used a lot of cutting-edge technology, but it still took him nearly a year. So the whole process was not easy at all.

Tao Wei was unusually active among them, frequently explaining the situation to those around him.

Tao Wei could actually give a number about how high that mountain was, how big Tenglong Bay was, how long and wide it was, and how much water area it covered, and he sounded quite accurate.

It's as if Tao Wei is the owner here.

In fact, Tao Wei did do a lot of research; he had at least looked at satellite images and real-world photos.

Hu Jiangshan doesn't mind others helping him with these introductions; it's actually a positive thing.

If you asked Hu Jiangshan to give an introduction, he really wouldn't be able to give a clear answer, especially when it comes to specific data. Hu Jiangshan couldn't even give any of it.

It seems that Hu Jiangshan still needs to do his homework in the future, so as not to be embarrassed if others ask him questions he doesn't know anything about.

A moment later, the electric commuter vehicle entered a narrow valley, where the scenery was almost entirely blocked by the mountains. The sea breeze became much stronger as it passed through, and the long hair of the girl sitting in front of Hu Jiangshan was blown up.

Soon, the view opened up, and several electric commuter vehicles drove into another open area.

This is the eastern corner of Tenglong Island. In front of you, you can see not only the scenery of Tenglong Bay, but also the magnificent open sea.

Soon, everyone's attention was drawn to something else entirely.

Someone exclaimed, "Wow! An ancient town! We've arrived at the ancient town!"

Wow, it's so big! I thought it would only be a small piece, but it's huge!

"It really doesn't look up at all!"

"My goodness, building such a large ancient town on the island, how much money must have been spent? It must have been difficult to transport the building materials in!"

"Never mind all that for now, the key is that it looks amazing. At first glance, there's not a single modern element; it's a complete replica of the ancient style. It's so well done."

"Do you think it's possible that this was originally an ancient town, and it's just been slightly renovated?"

"That's impossible. How could there be an ancient town on such a remote island? At most, there might be a small fishing village, but if no one lived there, it would have rotted away long ago."

“What kind of style do you think these ancient towns have? They seem quite unusual. They’re not the water town style of Jiangnan, nor are they the ancient towns of the North.”

"I estimate it's in the style of the Tang Dynasty or earlier, closer to the Qin and Han Dynasties. Look at those large eaves, they're really impressive!"

Amidst gasps of amazement, the ancient town drew ever closer, revealing more and more details.

Hu Jiangshan was very pleased with the people's amazement, which showed that the resort's style was indeed stunning.

No wonder they made such a fuss. In fact, although there are many ancient towns in the mainland, apart from those that are naturally formed, there are not many truly planned ancient-style clusters. Most of them only have one street and a dozen or so antique-style shops.

The ancient town in front of us is completely different; it is very large and has even become almost a natural ancient town.

Three electric shuttle buses stopped in the parking area at the entrance of the resort, and everyone got off one after another, eagerly heading towards the ancient town.

Even as their guide, Fanny Liu had to run a few steps to keep up with them, explaining the town's situation as they walked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the resort where we will be staying. As you can see, the area is quite large. It is built on a slope, from the bottom to the top."

"The resort has seventy or eighty main buildings. If you walk to all the corners, it will take nearly an hour. There is also a commercial street not far in front. You can reach the resort lobby from the commercial street. If all the merchants move in in the future, the commercial street will be very lively."

As the group walked forward, the sound of water grew louder and louder.

They were all stunned. It turned out there was another waterfall here, with a pool of water at the bottom.

"Look everyone, there's a waterfall here. The pool below is crystal clear, and the water temperature is quite comfortable. Can you guess what it's used for?"

Someone immediately said, "Manager Liu, is this the swimming pool?"

Fanny Liu nodded: "That's right, you guessed it. It's a large swimming pool, but it has a special design to make it a pool, so that we can feel close to nature. Of course, safety measures are essential. We have lifeguards who are very focused."

Everyone was amazed and exclaimed in amazement. The pool was huge, probably the size of a standard swimming pool, or even larger. They also discovered that there was more than one pool. This one was the largest, and there were two more on the slope, which were slightly smaller, but not by much.

Some people asked curiously whether the waterfall was formed naturally or man-made.

Fanny laughed: "Doesn't it look natural? But it's man-made, made entirely of purified fresh water."

This explanation put everyone at ease; the treated water was clean and, at the very least, free of any germs from nature.

Hu Jiangshan strolled casually through the resort. He was already quite used to the facilities there and knew them very well.

This place was designed by Hu Jiangshan. He has visited it many times since its completion, and even stayed here for a night to experience the nighttime environment.

What Hu Jiangshan needs to see now are other changes, which, to put it bluntly, are personnel changes.

When the resort was first built, it was completely empty and deserted. Now it's different. The resort has staff, namely the resort operation team established by Katherine Guise.

At this point, you can see some cleaning staff, about five or six in total. These cleaning staff are cleaning the area. Although there are robots responsible for cleaning here, there are only one or two, which is not enough. Sometimes they also clean the surrounding areas, so some fallen leaves and other trash are not cleaned up in a timely manner. With the cleaning staff as a supplement, the area looks much cleaner.

Besides the cleaning staff, you can also see gardeners wearing sun hats, pruning the plants.

There were also some staff members responsible for patrolling, and they were wearing work clothes.

Of course, working on an island doesn't mean wearing suits and ties; you'd have to dress in a more casual style.

Hu Jiangshan couldn't help but glance at the female staff members, in particular.

Most of the staff members were of Chinese descent, but some were clearly foreigners. Some were white, some were black, and some were neither white nor yellow. It was unclear whether they were from Hong Kong or were transferred from other places by Catherine's team.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan noticed that this Fanny Liu was no ordinary person. From her words and actions, as well as her way of dealing with people, she was very experienced. She could not even be distinguished from Chinese people. She must have lived in China for a long time, or even be a Hong Konger from China. Perhaps she was of mixed race, like Bella from the Marine Police.

Just then, Fanny Liu said, "Please go upstairs, there's a shop over there. Go in and register, then go to the resort lobby to check in."

It seems the organization was quite good this time; everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and the number of invitees was just right. Katherine Guise's team is quite capable.

It's true that professional tasks should be left to professionals to ensure they are done well. If Hu Jiangshan had been allowed to run it himself, he might not have managed it so well; it would likely have been a complete mess.

Just then, Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining saw Hu Jiangshan standing below, motionless.

Chen Jiahui pulled Wang Zining over and asked, "Handsome, aren't you going up to register?"

Hu Jiangshan laughed: "Have you forgotten? I'm a staff member, I don't need to register."

"Ah, yes, you're a staff member."

Wang Zining said, "I really envy you being able to work in such a beautiful place."

At this moment, Tao Wei also noticed this side and saw Hu Jiangshan talking to the two beauties, Chen Jiahui and Li Zining.

Tao Wei was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, so he simply called Fanny Liu over.

"Manager Liu, who is that person?"

As he spoke, Tao Wei pointed at Hu Jiangshan.

Fanny Liu paused, then asked, "That guy? Wasn't he with you?"

Tao Wei gave a meaningful look: "It shouldn't be. He wasn't on the boat when we were on it, and I saw him arrive on another small yacht."

"Ah, really?"

Fanny Liu looked at Hu Jiangshan carefully a few more times, but still couldn't remember him.

Tao Wei said, "He was able to get on the island either by sneaking in or by being a staff member from another part of the island."

Fanny Liu said, "That's possible. It could be the Tenglong Island Public Administration Department."

Tao Wei pressed further, "So, they can just come here whenever they want? That shouldn't be the case."

Fanny Liu hesitated for a moment, her mind starting to race. Even someone from the Public Administration Department wouldn't be wandering around the island unless they were from the security team.

"Never mind, I'll go ask."

Fanny Liu walked towards Hu Jiangshan, and Tao Wei followed with a smug expression. He wanted to see Hu Jiangshan driven away, and even more so, he wanted to see Hu Jiangshan's embarrassed expression.

Although Hu Jiangshan may be a staff member on the island, he is definitely not from the resort.

These high-end resorts have strict management, and the guests are all wealthy and powerful, so safety is their top priority.

Fanny Liu asked Hu Jiangshan, "Sir, may I ask who you are?"

Hu Jiangshan replied, "I am a staff member on the island."

"Are they from the public administration department?"

"Yes, it is."

There's nothing wrong with Hu Jiangshan's answer; he is indeed in charge of the entire island's management, just the biggest boss.

"So, you've come here because..."

"Ah, I'm just wandering around here to see how things have changed. There was no one here when I first came to the resort."

"nobody?"

"Yes, your operations team hadn't moved in yet at that time."

"That's right."

Actually, Fanny Liu still had some doubts. She had been on the island for a while and was quite familiar with the people at the dock and the management staff. She had even met those she wasn't familiar with, but she had never seen the person in front of her before.

Judging from his demeanor and mannerisms, this person doesn't seem like an ordinary staff member at all; he seems more like someone in senior management.

At this point, Tao Wei said, "If he's not from the resort, I think it's best not to stay here. We might film him when we're making a video."

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "It's okay if you take pictures of me. I won't charge you, and I don't care about these things."

Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining exchanged a smile, feeling that this handsome guy was quite easygoing, and surprisingly, he wasn't angry at all.

Just then, someone walked over.

Fanny Liu took one look and saw that it was sashimi.

Yu Sheng is a high-ranking official in the public administration department of Tenglong Island, and could even be considered the chief steward, wielding considerable power.

The fish sashimi of today is completely different from what it was a year ago; it has undergone a complete transformation.

If Yu Sheng was just an ordinary security guard before, he is now a leader, and his every move exudes a sense of authority. It seems that this position is very good for personal development.

Fanny Liu stepped forward to greet Yu Sheng, then pointed at Hu Jiangshan: "Is this one of your people?"

Yu Sheng was startled when he saw Hu Jiangshan. He didn't have time to talk to Fanny before he greeted Hu Jiangshan respectfully.

"Boss, you're here! Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Hu Jiangshan said casually, "It's nothing, I don't want to disturb your work."

Everyone else was stunned.

boss?

He's the boss?!
