Chapter 214 Why is there a rainforest island near Hong Kong Island?
Hu Jiangshan didn’t care, after all, he had really offended Zhang Xiaorou before.
It was at a charity dinner. Hu Jiangshan wanted to get close to Chen Yifei, but Zhang Xiaorou kept blocking it, so Hu Jiangshan also behaved very rudely at that time.
It is understandable that Zhang Xiaorou is so wary of Hu Jiangshan.
However, from Hu Jiangshan's perspective, he has no psychological burden on Chen Yifei.
Hu Jiangshan is completely different now than before, and he doesn't have any bad intentions towards Chen Yifei.
At this time, Hu Jiangshan smiled and said to Chen Yifei: "The wind is relatively strong on the deck. You can go to the viewing lounge on the second and third floors. There are also some food and drinks there. You two can enjoy whatever you want."
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 big. It should go smoothly."
Chen Yifei nodded: "It turns out it's so close. Thank you so much for arranging such a good ship."
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 Haima, this yacht is simply a crushing level of luxury, and its functions are much richer.
Even the functions found on the Seahorse are completely different in level and intensity, especially the various safety guarantees, which are very complete and can even fight against super storms at sea.
There are also quite a few luxurious features, including a very popular stern swimming pool.
On calm seas, the stern of the boat can be opened, and an open inflatable swimming pool is unfolded on the sea. It is much more stylish than the Seahorse.
Of course, this is normal. After all, the price difference between the Haima and this luxury flybridge 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 Qiuming and other crew members were all talking in the lounge on the second floor.
Chen Yifei was not interested in that, so she went to the third floor with Zhang Xiaorou.
The two of them sat on the large and luxurious sofa and looked at the surrounding scenery. They stood high and could see far. The sunlight shone on the sea and turned it into emerald blue, which was very beautiful.
The lounge also has a 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 will never feel exposed.
There is also a large double-door refrigerator and a wine cabinet.
Zhang Xiaorou went over to open the refrigerator and saw that it was full of various drinks and mineral water. As long as it was available on the market, almost everything was available.
"Yifei, what are you drinking? Or mineral water?"
"Yes, mineral water."
"Oh, it's tasteless, so boring."
Even so, Zhang Xiaorou still brought 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, beers, etc. with people you trust, it won’t be a big problem. You won’t drink anything with a slightly higher alcohol content.
As for drinks, Chen Yifei rarely drinks them.
Chen Yifei is not saying that she keeps in shape for her career as an actor, but mainly because she thinks it is not good for her body.
Zhang Xiaorou said: "Hu Jiangshan just said it would be there in half an hour. It's probably not a very good outlying island."
"Hmm, Yifei, how about we just wait and see. Don't have too much hope, otherwise you will be very disappointed soon."
Chen Yifei took a sip of water and said, "You are overthinking. I don't have much hope."
Chen Yifei was completely indifferent and calm, but they went to Hu Jiangshan's island together out of curiosity.
Although Zhang Xiaorou said it too bluntly, Chen Yifei actually agreed with Zhang Xiaorou's idea.
Chen Yifei often comes to Hong Kong Island. As far as she knows, there are very few beautiful islands nearby. If they are too close, most of them are reef islands.
The islands that Hu Rongguo went to yesterday were already quite good. The ceilings among the outlying islands were at least large-scale 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 are sold to the outside world, they will definitely fetch sky-high prices.
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.
While 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 at and found something extremely special.
It was an island. It didn't look big from a distance, but it was very distinctive.
Trees, lots of trees.
Yes, the island seems to be covered with trees, densely packed, like a tropical rainforest island.
This simply breaks through the cognition of ordinary people.
How could there be such an island on Hong Kong Island?
Generally speaking, such islands can only be found in Southeast Asia, the Southern Hemisphere, and South America.
Because of the dense trees, the island looks very delicate, which is very different from other nearby outlying islands.
If you look closely, there is even a lighthouse on top, much higher than the trees. It looks like the magic tower in the 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: "It should be so. You see, the direction we are driving is towards that island."
"Huh? This is too...it is too rare for Hu Jiangshan to buy such an island."
"It's really rare."
Chen Yifei is also a very knowledgeable person.
Looking at it from so far away, such an amazing outlying island should have been bought by someone a long time ago. How could Hu Jiangshan miss such a thing?
It’s puzzling.
At the same time, Hu Rongguo, Wang Qiuming, Li Shuning and others were talking in the lounge on the second floor when they also saw the island.
Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded for a moment.
Wang Qiuming was a little excited: "Oh my, is that the island Mr. Hu bought? It looks very unique! It's so magical. I seem to have never seen such a dense forest island on Hong Kong Island. There is one on Sanguan Island. Isn’t there an island with such dense forests?”
At this time, Hu Guorong was speechless and his eyes were so wide open that they almost fell out.
"...How is this possible? How can there be such an island near Hong Kong Island? It's impossible!"
Wang Qiuming was very surprised and asked: "Manager Hu, have you never seen such an island before as a local?"
Hu Rongguo shook his head: "Director Wang, I have never seen it. I have indeed never seen it before. There is theoretically no such island in the waters near Hong Kong Island. To be honest, I have never even heard of it!" Hu Rongguo said something like this. Unreasonable, Hu Jiangshan was his relative, and he didn't understand what kind of outlying island Hu Jiangshan bought.
But others just find it very strange.
Even if people outside don't know about it, even locals like Hu Rongguo don't know about the existence of this island. It seems that this island is very rare.
It didn't take long for the island to get closer and closer. Everyone kept staring and vaguely saw the pier.
Why do you say vaguely?
Because the trees on the island are so dense, even if they are very close at this time, the dock is still looming, and it feels like there is a mysterious atmosphere everywhere.
If you are more imaginative, you may even wonder if there are any wild beasts on the island, such as snakes, lizards, etc.
Wang Qiuming became more and more excited.
As a director with a background as a photographer, Anthony Wong is very good at discovering beautiful lens materials.
A scene like this is something you can only dream about.
Originally, Wang Qiuming was a little disappointed after seeing the places arranged by Hu Rongguo yesterday.
In Wang Qiuming's opinion, there are no scenes or shots worth shooting in those places.
Wang Qiuming didn't have high hopes for today's improvised itinerary, he just wanted to try his luck.
Who knew that Wang Qiuming would be given such a big surprise before he even landed on the island.
Wang Qiuming has already started gearing up, looking forward to discovering some interesting places after landing on the island.
It didn't take long for the luxury yacht to dock at the dock.
Everyone landed on the island one after another, looking left and right, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking very carefully, and then they all sighed.
"Wow, the trees on the island are so tall!"
"It really looks like a rainforest island."
"Have you noticed that it's not hot at all?"
"Of course, with so many trees, the sun can't get in, so of course it won't be hot."
Hu Rongguo is still in shock.
After landing on the island at this time, Hu Rongguo was sure that it was not an illusion, not a legendary mirage, but a real island, and it was only half an hour's flight from Hong Kong Island.
When Hu Jiangshan also got off the boat, Hu Rongguo quickly pulled him aside.
"Brother Jiangshan, what's going on with this island?"
Hu Jiangshan was startled: "What's going on?"
"Why? Why are there such outlying islands near Hong Kong Island? Why have I never heard of them?"
Hu Jiangshan smiled: "If you haven't heard of it, it means you don't care about it. This is called information gap, information cocoon, Schrödinger's cat, do you understand?"
Hu Jiangshan didn't know how to explain it, so he had to tell nonsense to try to fool him.
Hu Rongguo was so easy to fool, and said: "No, no, I have been to many outlying islands near Hong Kong Island, almost all of them, but I have never seen such an island, not even one, like this small island. It would be nice to have a few trees on the island..."
Speaking of this, Hu Rongguo pointed to the surrounding scene and said: "There are so many trees, how can there be such an outlying island? If there really was one, it would have been bought by others long ago."
Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly 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, touch those trees to 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 said again: "Okay, you go and take the crew around casually. I have some things to deal with on the island, and I will go over to accompany you in a while."
"Ah, you want us to wander around the island by ourselves? I don't know you either. What should I do if we get lost?"
No one can get lost on such a small island.
Hu Jiangshan said: "Don't worry, I will find a guide for you, just follow him."
With that said, Hu Jiangshan took out his mobile phone and made a call, preparing to ask Zhang Rui to find an employee to take them around the island for a casual look.
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 got through and spoke clearly.
Hu Rongguo quickly took out his mobile phone and was shocked when he saw it.
Oh my god! There is actually a mobile phone signal, and it is still 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 to have signals on the island? Otherwise, how can we contact the outside world?"
"But on such a small outlying island, how could a telecommunications company install signal towers?"
Hu Jiangshan said with a smile: "Money can make the world go round."
This was indeed an explanation, but Hu Rongguo still couldn't believe it.
If it is a large outlying island, because many people live on it, the telecommunications company will definitely solve the problem of mobile phone signal.
But how many people can live on such a small outlying island?
Theoretically, it is impossible to do this. The cost is too high, and no matter how much money is given, it cannot be sustained.
At this moment, everyone heard a subtle buzzing sound coming from far away, and then a battery car drove over.
This is an island commuter car specially designed by Hu Jiangshan. It can accommodate up to eight people. It runs very well and has a canopy. It is semi-open.
In this way, you can enjoy the scenery while driving without having to worry about being exposed to rain or sun.
This commuter car even has an automatic cruise function, which can automatically drive along the asphalt road as long as the route is set.
It can also automatically avoid obstacles, which is very smart.
More importantly, it is also equipped with a solar system, which greatly enhances battery life.
Hu Jiangshan has only manufactured five battery-operated commuter vehicles so far. If he plans to manufacture more battery-operated vehicles of the same type in the future, Tenglong Island will need at least ten of them.
The person driving the commuter bus was the guide called by Hu Jiangshan.
It was a young girl named Yang Wanlu, who was pretty good-looking.
Hu Jiangshan had an impression of Yang Wanlu and 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 saw Hu Jiangshan and said hello quickly.
Hu Jiangshan gave Yang Wanlu a few words and asked her to take the crew to some beautiful places.
Yang Wanlu fully understood, and Zhang Rui had explained it to her beforehand.
In addition, Yang Wanlu herself was very smart. She made an OK gesture towards Hu Jiangshan, let the others get in the car, and then drove away in the battery commuter car.
