Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 210: Yacht Club Pier, Encounter with Chen Yifei

A few days later, Hong Kong Island.

Hu Jiangshan got up early and went to the Baisha Bay Yacht Club Pier.

A few days ago, Hu Jiangshan spent another whole day in the special tool research and development and manufacturing facility of the General Islanders, and produced dozens of seawater purification robots.

These seawater purification robots have been upgraded significantly compared to previous versions. They are more efficient in purifying seawater. Hu Jiangshan has also added new sensors to them that can monitor various indicators of seawater in real time.

Zhang Wen'an is an expert in this field, and he can analyze a lot of things based on these indicators.

Today, the latest seawater purification robot should be completely built, and Hu Jiangshan will go to Jiangjun Island to conduct functional acceptance.

Hu Jiangshan has been busy again during this period, and all his work revolves around Tenglong Island.

Hu Jiangshan not only manufactured a seawater purification robot, but also made more than a dozen cleaning robots, most of which are indoor cleaning robots.

Most of these robots are placed in office buildings, and two are also placed in Bill Gaskell's villa for cleaning.

Hu Jiangshan might feel like staying there for a few days someday.

It would be a waste if such a nice big villa were left idle.

By the way, two days ago, Guangwan City delivered another batch of chemical compounds. The quantity was very large and all of them were dumped into Tenglong Bay.

This was led by Zhang Wen'an. Hu Jiangshan did not intervene, but just knew that this happened.

As mentioned before, the compound was based on a formula given by Zhang Wen'an. Although the synthesis was very difficult, the chemical synthesis facility was still built, albeit at a slightly higher cost.

But it doesn’t matter. Restoring the marine ecology is a costly task in itself, and compared with normal investment, the cost on Hu Jiangshan’s side is almost negligible.

According to Zhang Wen'an, if all these compounds are poured into Tenglong Bay and evenly diluted, the ecological restoration effect should be doubled.

After everything is ready, Hu Jiangshan will start large-scale construction on Tenglong Island.

For example, renovating the docks, building roads, and building some other construction facilities.

Tenglong Island is large in area. If it can be developed well, it can even be turned into a super treasure island.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan drove to the Baisha Bay Yacht Club Pier.

Maybe because it’s the weekend today, there are quite a few people walking around the yacht club pier.

They were basically all wearing vacation-style clothes, carrying large and small bags, and some were even carrying fishing rods, obviously preparing to go out on the sea by boat.

Almost all those who can rent a berth at the Baisha Bay Yacht Club Marina are wealthy people, or at least middle-class or above families can afford it.

After all, not only is the berth rental very high, but buying a ship is not cheap either.

Although boats have different grades and prices, they are not cars and the average price is very high.

Especially yachts, even if they are not luxury types, one will cost at least one or two million Hong Kong dollars.

Hu Jiangshan greeted the staff, boarded the Seahorse, walked into the cockpit, and started the engine skillfully.

“…Buzz buzz buzz… Tut tut tut… Bang bang…”

There were a few noises and the engine stalled just as it started.

Hu Jiangshan touched his forehead and, as expected, it broke again.

As mentioned earlier, the Seahorse's engine had broken down once before.

Although the staff helped to find a mechanic to fix it, Hu Jiangshan later found that the engine sound was still abnormal, which meant that the problem had not been completely eliminated.

Hu Jiangshan’s judgment was very accurate. Sure enough, the problem broke down again not long after.

Hu Jiangshan felt a little regretful. He should have had the engine thoroughly overhauled in advance to eliminate all faults.

There is no point regretting now. What should I do?

Hu Jiangshan knew how to repair machinery, but the engine of a large vehicle like this was extremely complex and needed to be disassembled and repaired, and Hu Jiangshan did not have the professional tools at hand.

Even if he had the tools, Hu Jiangshan was too lazy to repair it.

Repairing this thing is not so easy, it is a mental job, but also a physical job, it consumes energy in both directions, it's so frustrating.

There was no other choice, so Hu Jiangshan got off the Seahorse and found the staff of the yacht club, asking them to help find a mechanic to come and inspect it.

The staff are all familiar with Hu Jiangshan, after all, he is a regular customer who comes almost every day.

"Mr. Hu, please go to the lounge and have a drink. Wait for a moment. We will find someone to help you check and repair it right away."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Thank you for your help then."

This was the second time, so Hu Jiangshan was familiar with it and went straight to the lounge.

But Hu Jiangshan was unsure.

According to Hu Jiangshan's experience and knowledge in mechanics, this situation of the engine is very serious and it is basically certain that it needs to be prepared for a major overhaul or even a complete replacement.

It will take at least a few hours, or even a day to repair it.

However, if Hu Jiangshan is not going to General Island today, it seems that there is nothing else to do, so he might as well wait here for a while.

When the mechanic comes to check the situation, Hu Jiangshan will also be able to understand it. If it is really difficult to repair, he can simply replace the engine to avoid such problems in the future.

Hu Jiangshan entered the lounge and found that there were quite a few people inside.

The lounge was quite spacious, with at least a hundred seats, and most of them were already occupied.

Today is a holiday, so naturally people are out having fun, and the rich are no exception, except that the things they play are different from those of ordinary people.

Hu Jiangshan found a seat and sat down. He asked the waiter for a glass of iced American coffee and drank it while enjoying the scenery outside.

The view from the pier is always beautiful.

The blue sea, blue sky, various cruise ships and white sails make it a truly beautiful picture.

Hu Jiangshan felt very comfortable sitting here.

Hu Jiangshan was a pure science and engineering man in his previous life, and was not that emotional. However, perhaps because he has become one with Hu Jiangshan, he has acquired many traits that he did not have before, which has enriched his personality and made him more complete.

Hu Jiangshan turned his attention back to the room, looking at the people in the lounge intentionally or unintentionally.

Most of these people are relatively young, the oldest is only in his forties, and the youngest is in his teens.

This is normal. When you get older, you can't have fun anymore. Young people like to go to sea, but older people can't do it even if they want to.

Going to sea is by no means an easy activity. It consumes physical strength and energy. Older people are lucky not to get seasick, and they may not even be able to stand steadily on the deck.

It is worth mentioning that there are a lot of young and beautiful girls, and they are all dressed relatively coolly. Usually, several beautiful girls sit around a young man and chat happily.

In fact, this is a very common scene in high-end yacht marinas.

To be honest, it is a bit embarrassing for Hu Jiangshan, as a rich second-generation man from Hong Kong Island, as he has never taken a girl out to sea by himself. He usually rides on other people's boats.

Of course, even if Hu Jiangshan went out to sea on a boat, girls were indispensable.

Why didn’t Hu Jiangshan go out to sea by himself?

Because the Hu family didn't let him use the yacht because they were afraid he would go out and cause trouble.

Facts have proved that this worry was correct, and Hu Jiangshan did cause trouble in the past.

Going out to sea seems to be very cool and romantic, but it is also very dangerous.

After all, the sea is full of unpredictable events, and anything can happen. No matter how big the storm is, it is impossible to ensure that the ship is safe. Moreover, Hu Jiangshan was not a kind-hearted person in the past. If Hu Jiangshan was irritated by someone at sea, he might really dare to throw the person into the sea to feed the sharks.

For rich kids from Hong Kong Island like them, as long as no one dies it's not a big deal and it can be solved in any way, right?

If someone dies, it will be troublesome and Hu Jiangshan will definitely be held responsible.

Needless to say, Hu Jiangshan's father, Hu Wenxin, never spoiled this prodigal son, beating and scolding was the least he could do.

Although Hu Yingxiang dotes on his grandson, he will definitely not protect him if the village really does something so heinous.

If Hu Yingxiang really doted on Hu Jiangshan so unprincipledly, he would not have refused to give the yacht to the former Hu Jiangshan for use.

Not only was the Hu family’s yacht not allowed to be used by Hu Jiangshan, they even refused to buy him a supercar.

It’s true that supercars have great attributes, but they also run really fast, which can be very dangerous.

Now Hu Jiangshan still drives an old Audi, which has very high fuel consumption and even burns a lot of engine oil.

Hu Jiangshan also planned to buy a car that was easier to drive, but he never had the time.

Hong Kong Island is indeed not that big, so fuel consumption doesn't have much of an impact. Besides, Hu Jiangshan is a rich second-generation after all, and he can make money as a boss, so he doesn't need that little bit of fuel money.

Hu Jiangshan doesn't want to change to a Tesla electric car. In a few years, electric cars will usher in a big boom in the mainland, and it would be a good time to change then.

Just then, the door to the lounge opened.

Several people walked in, and Hu Jiangshan actually recognized one of them. It was Hu Rongguo, who had just arrived at the Hu family.

As mentioned earlier, Hu Rongguo is a relative of Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Rongguo's grandfather and Hu Yingxiang are brothers, so in terms of seniority, Hu Jiangshan is Hu Rongguo's cousin.

Hu Rongguo is different from Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan's reputation is extremely bad, so bad that he can even be said to be notorious. He is known as the number one prodigal son in Hong Kong Island.

Hu Rongguo can be described as a young and promising man. He has been smart and considerate since childhood. He graduated from a prestigious university and not only does he not have the bad habits of a playboy, he is actually quite motivated.

After returning from studying abroad, Hu Rongguo did not go to work for the Hu family's company, but joined other companies. It is said that he has performed well and is now the head of a department. He may even be able to strive for a senior executive position in the future.

In other words, Hu Rongguo is a typical elite child, and he and Hu Jiangshan are two opposite sides of the same coin, with a huge contrast.

If Hu Jiangshan fails to make it, the Hu family's assets will most likely be inherited by other descendants of the Hu family. Hu Rongguo will at least be a strong competitor in terms of reputation.

It is precisely because Hu Jiangshan and Hu Rongguo have different personalities and hobbies that they can never play together.

Although the two are cousins, they rarely communicate. They only see each other during holidays and when they get together. There is basically no opportunity to meet and communicate at other times.

The few people who came in with Hu Rongguo were a little special. Hu Jiangshan had never seen them before, and they didn't look like rich second-generations or young masters. Their ages were also uneven. The oldest was about fifty years old, and had a scholarly look.

Although these people were dressed casually, they were obviously not going on vacation.

His behavior doesn't seem like that of a local from Hong Kong Island, but rather like someone from the mainland.

At this time, Hu Rongguo also saw Hu Jiangshan. He was stunned at first, then walked over.

"Hey, Brother Jiangshan, you are here too?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "What a coincidence."

In the past, Hu Rongguo looked down on Hu Jiangshan, thinking that he had no future and would only cause trouble.

But it is different now.

Hu Jiangshan has done several big things recently, such as helping Hezhong Group negotiate a big deal, which made people in the family look at him with admiration and changed their impression of Hu Jiangshan.

Of course, no one else had really seen how capable Hu Jiangshan was, and they were only half-believing and half-doubting the rumors.

It is not easy for a person to change by just talking about it.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "Are you going to sea?"

As he spoke, Hu Jiangshan glanced at the others.

Those people were talking at the bar not far away, probably ordering drinks.

The weather is too hot and I can't stand it without drinking something cold.

Hu Rongguo replied: "Yes, we will receive a few people."

Hu Jiangshan asked casually: "Customer?"

"Well... they are here to make a movie and want to go out to sea to scout locations."

"what?"

Hu Jiangshan showed a surprised expression: "Filming a movie?"

"No, it's not a movie. It's a TV series. The crew came from the mainland."

Hu Jiangshan suddenly remembered that the company that Hu Rongguo joined was related to film and television.

Moreover, the headquarters of this company is not in Hong Kong Island, but in the Mainland. The branch office in Hong Kong Island is responsible for the filming business in Hong Kong Island and Guangdong Province.

Hu Rongguo added, "There will be a very famous actress coming soon. I wonder if you know her."

Hu Jiangshan asked curiously: "Famous actress? Who is she?"

"It's Chen Yifei, she's quite famous in the mainland."

Hu Jiangshan was even more surprised. He didn't expect that it was Chen Yifei who came.

Hu Jiangshan and Chen Yifei did have some interactions.

We had intersections in our previous lives, and we also have intersections in this life.

Not long ago, Hu Jiangshan went to the ancient Wuzhen town in the mainland and met Chen Yifei, and even spoke a few words to her.

Hu Jiangshan was worried but didn't show it on the surface.

"Ah, she is not only famous in the mainland, but also very famous here."

"That's true. It seems that many people have watched The Return of the Condor Heroes. Besides, she is beautiful."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and asked, "Have you seen the real person?"

"Not really, but I've participated in video conferences and it's really beautiful."

Speaking of this kind of thing, Hu Rongguo acted much closer to Hu Jiangshan, and they were really like cousins.

Hu Rongguo asked: "By the way, are you going to go out to sea? How is the island you bought going?"

"It's OK. How about inviting you to visit me some other day?"

Hu Rongguo smiled and said, "Of course that's fine. I've wanted to go and see you for a long time, but I was afraid you wouldn't welcome me."

"How could that be? Of course I welcome you, anytime. How about this, I'll contact you when I'm free in a few days and take you for a tour."

Just then, three more people came into the lounge.

They were all women, one of whom was tall, with elegant manners, very fair skin and an incredibly beautiful face.

It was Chen Yifei.
