Chapter 2 Building a Semiconductor Production Line on the Island
An hour later, Hu Jiangshan and Kevin met.
Kevin's suit and tie look pretty much the same.
"Sir Hu, do you want something to eat?"
Hu Jiangshan shook his head: "No, let's go directly. Is that place far?"
"It's not far. If it's too far away, transportation is inconvenient, and you're not satisfied either."
Kevin drove Hu Jiangshan to a small fishing village.
This fishing village is called Yabii Village. The village is small and simple, with only a small pier.
Kevin found a motor boat and went to sea with Hu Jiangshan.
There are many outlying islands near Hong Kong Island, hundreds of large and small, and countless desert islands, but there are not many that really look like anything. Most of them are very small, no different than a rock.
Kevin said that the island he found was different. Although it was a desert island, it was of top quality.
Hu Jiangshan was noncommittal. He could only believe half of what Kevin said. Whether it was good or not would depend on actually seeing it.
After the fishing boat sailed on the sea for half an hour, an island appeared in the distance.
Kevin said: "Sir Hu, that's the island."
Not to mention, the island does not look small. It should be considered a medium-sized island by visual inspection, and there is a lighthouse on it.
Hu Jiangshan asked: "Why is there still a lighthouse? Isn't it a desert island?"
Kevin said: "Sir Hu, no one has used that lighthouse for a long time."
"There was someone on the island before?"
"Yes, this island did have people living on it before, but then no one lived on it. It has been deserted for decades."
Hu Jiangshan felt strange and asked: "Why is there no one living on the island? What's the problem?"
"This..." Kevin hesitated.
"Just say whatever you have. I don't want anything I don't know about."
Kevin quickly said: "That's right, Sir Hu, during World War II, the army was stationed on this island."
Hu Jiangshan understood immediately and looked at Kevin: "Have all the people on the island been killed?"
Kevin nodded.
Good guy, it turns out to be a ghost island, no wonder it has been deserted for so many years.
Hong Kong Islanders are most taboo about this kind of thing. Even if someone is interested in this island, they will definitely give up once they hear that there have been a lot of killings on the island.
Hu Jiangshan asked: "What is the name of this island?"
Kevin replied: "General Island."
Hu Jiangshan was stunned for a moment.
It's a good name, quite domineering.
After a while, the motor boat docked.
There is also a pier on the island, but it is dilapidated. Half of the wood on the trestle has fallen off, and it can barely accommodate small boats.
But Hu Jiangshan paid special attention to it. The sea water near the pier is relatively deep. If it is renovated, it should be possible to park large ships.
It's correct to think about it. The army in the early days was stationed here before, so the draft conditions of the dock must be the same.
After the two landed on the island, Kevin began to explain to Hu Jiangshan.
Kevin is very talkative, eloquent and eloquent.
"Sir Hu, this is not a small island. Look, you can't see the end of it."
"What's more important? The island is very flat, with only a small part of the reef. There is a small forest in the middle of the island, and there are mangroves on the opposite shore."
"Sir Hu, look over there. There is a hill, but it's not high. The overall terrain is quite flat."
Hu Jiangshan observed the surrounding environment while listening to Kevin's chatter.
The natural environment on the island looks really good, and it is a truly habitable island.
Hu Jiangshan asked: "Is there fresh water on the island?"
Kevin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know about this, but there must have been people living there before."
Hu Jiangshan is not that naive.
Some islands with inhabited people really have no fresh water resources, and domestic water needs to be transported from the land or other islands.
The two of them talked and came to the foot of the mountain.
Hu Jiangshan saw a cave entrance and vaguely saw a door inside, but the door panel was broken and half of it fell down.
"What is that place?"
Kevin immediately said: "Oh, Sir Hu, that's a warehouse." "Warehouse? What's the warehouse for?"
Kevin swallowed: "It should be... the place where I kept my things when I was little."
It turns out that the military warehouses in the small days may have kept arms, rations and other military supplies.
Hu Jiangshan walked to the entrance of the cave and looked inside.
It was pitch black, you could see the wires, but there was no electricity.
Although you can't see clearly the space inside, it should be big enough.
There should be one thousand square meters.
Hu Jiangshan said: "This place is good."
"Ah, yes, yes."
Kevin smiled sarcastically and took two steps back.
From the look of Kevin, he didn't want to go into the cave.
Come to think of it, something bad might have happened in such a cave warehouse.
"Is the cave big inside?"
Kevin said hurriedly: "It's big, really big, at least hundreds of thousands of feet."
Ten thousand square feet is approximately equivalent to one thousand square meters in the Mainland.
More than 100,000 square feet, that’s more than 10,000 square meters.
Hu Jiangshan asked: "How much does this island cost?"
"It's very cheap, 10 million Hong Kong dollars, permanent use rights."
Ten million, another ten million.
Hu Jiangshan glanced at Kevin.
Kevin quickly added: "Sir Hu, it seems that there is still a discount. I don't know the specific discount. If you have this intention, I will ask in detail."
To be honest, it is really cheap to buy this island for 10 million Hong Kong dollars, it can even be said to be a bargain price.
There is a reason why it is so cheap.
As mentioned before, people have died on this island, and certainly not just one or two.
Especially in this dark cave, there might be many corpses inside.
But Hu Jiangshan doesn't care. He is a scientist and only believes in science, not ghosts and gods.
Hu Jiangshan immediately made the decision and bought it.
Kevin beamed and quickly said that he would help Hu Jiangshan inquire about the detailed terms of the island purchase.
"Sir Hu, please prepare the money first. I will go to the Hong Kong government tomorrow to ask about the terms. If everything goes smoothly, the procedures can be completed."
Hu Jiangshan nodded and agreed.
The next day, Hu Jiangshan went to the Hong Kong Island Bank to apply for a loan.
As expected by Hu Jiangshan, when he revealed his identity, the bank took him seriously and was received by the senior loan manager.
This special loan manager is named Fan Luosheng, and he looks very professional.
Fan Luosheng asked: "Sir Hu, how much do you want to borrow?"
Hu Jiangshan said calmly: "Thirty million."
10 million is used to purchase the island, 10 million is used to build the semiconductor production line, and the remaining 10 million is used as working capital. This is a very reasonable arrangement.
Fan Luosheng asked again: "Then what do you want to do with the money?"
"Entrepreneurship."
Fan Luosheng nodded and looked at Hu Jiangshan: "The guarantor..."
"My guarantor is my grandfather Hu Yingxiang."
The clouds in Hujiang Mountain are light and the wind is gentle, and the spirit is calm and relaxed.
Fan Luosheng really didn't ask any more questions.
With Hu Yingxiang's reputation, a loan of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is just a drop in the bucket!
After only two hours, Hu Jiangshan received 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
This bank is really efficient.
Of course, Hu Jiangshan is also under a lot of pressure. The interest rate on this loan is not low.
