Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 220 Bill Gates and his daughter

This is interesting.

If Mr. Bill Gates saw the current situation on Tamron Island, I really wonder what his expression would be and what he would feel.

In this case, Hu Jiangshan was looking forward to meeting the legendary Mr. Gass.

After being busy all day today, Hu Jiangshan felt tired.

Looking at the sky, it was already evening and the sea breeze in Tenglong Bay had unknowingly grown stronger.

Hu Jiangshan thought about it and decided not to leave today and just sleep here.

Anyway, this villa is very comfortable to live in. It has almost everything, even toothbrushes are ready. The wine cabinet is well stocked with wine, all from famous French wineries.

But the refrigerator was empty, there were only drinks, no food at all.

It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s on the yacht.

And Bill Gates will come to Tenglong Island to meet with Hu Jiangshan tomorrow. It will be quite troublesome to go back and forth. Hu Jiangshan just needs to wait here.

Bill Gates is the former richest man in the world, so we should treat him well.

The next day, in the afternoon, a private plane was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

There was little turbulence in the air today, and small and medium-sized jets were quite balanced.

This aircraft is the new Gulfstream G650 produced by Gulfstream, and it is the highest-end model.

It has the most spacious fuselage and cabin among private jets and can accommodate up to nineteen passengers.

This is not the most important thing. The key is that the decoration inside can be described in two words - grand.

This Gulfstream G650 is the latest private jet purchased by Bill Gates. The high-end version costs more than million yuan, which is more than million Chinese yuan.

This is an astronomical figure for any ordinary person.

Even those who are not so rich can only look up to such ultra-luxury private jets.

For a blue-star tycoon like Mr. Gass, a private jet worth tens of millions of dollars is not much more difficult than breathing. The dividends from Microsoft alone can buy more than a dozen such private jets every year.

So for Bill Gates, money is just a number in his bank account, except that it has many more digits than the average person. It's no big deal.

So ordinary people don’t understand the psychology of top wealthy people. It is much easier for them to buy a private jet than for ordinary people to buy a family car.

Of course, wealthy people like Bill Gates do not spend money extravagantly, but are good at managing their finances.

I will spend the money that should be spent, and spend as much as possible, but if it is money that should not be spent, I will try my best to avoid wasting it.

For example, when Gates bought Tenglong Island at the end of last year and found that the development of the island was too difficult or even impossible, he decided to transfer Tenglong Island even if it meant losing money.

Tenglong Island is indeed not easy to sell. Except for outsiders, local people all know that although the island is large and there is a Tenglong Bay, Tenglong Bay has been seriously polluted. Not only does it require a huge amount of money to restore the ecology, but it is also unknown when the results will be seen.

More importantly, there is no fresh water on Tenglong Island, which is definitely a major flaw that cannot be compensated for. It is equivalent to an island with no use for food and a pity to abandon.

Moreover, for such a large island, the fees that need to be paid to the Hong Kong government every year are not low, and the holding costs are relatively high.

Therefore, there are very few wealthy people willing to spend a large sum of money to buy Tenglong Island.

It was not until a Chinese man named Hu Jiangshan showed up that Gais successfully transferred Tenglong Island and got out of the predicament.

At this moment, Bill Gates was in the luxurious owner's cabin of the Gulfstream G650.

Gus was in a good mood and was chatting enthusiastically with his companions. There was a glass of red wine and a hamburger on the table in front of him.

Red wine and hamburgers are Gus's special favorite.

Like many celebrities in the Beacon Country, Gus is very fond of eating hamburgers.

Many people think that only poor people eat hamburgers, and rich people eat abalone and lobster. In fact, this is a wrong perception. Those high-end things are not satisfying enough. If you really want to enjoy a good meal, a big hamburger is more advantageous.

So the women in the Lighthouse Country also like to eat hamburgers. When they are hungry, they just have one as a snack, and the effect is immediate.

Sitting opposite Bill Gates was his youngest daughter, named Catherine Gates.

Kathryn is about to go to Yale to study astronomy and minor in biology.

To be honest, this is quite surprising. The children of the wealthy in the Beacon Country, that is, the super rich second generation, generally study majors such as finance, law, and MBA. Not to mention unpopular subjects such as biology and astronomy, even popular science and engineering subjects are rarely studied by the rich second generation.

Catherine Gass obviously did this out of interest.

The younger daughter's interests are similar to those of her father, Bill Gates.

Catherine was interested in astronomy and biology, so he took a path that was not in line with his identity.

And Catherine is indeed very smart. She has always had good grades in all subjects since she was young. She is the kind of child who was born with a lot of hard work and is definitely not the product of a happy education.

In fact, the rich people in the Beacon Country never talk about happy education or letting their children grow up freely and happily.

In the minds of the top wealthy people, the elite class must be competitive and must become the most competitive people in the entire blue planet, even more competitive than the children in China.

Chinese students only need to concentrate on their studies, but the elite students in the Beacon Country need to work on more projects.

In addition to being good at studying, one must also understand various etiquette, excel in sports and achieve good results, and have skills in musical instruments, dance, and even equestrianism, so that one can become a superior person.

In this regard, Catherine has done a good job and is one of the best.

And Catherine is also very beautiful, with a perfect and hot body.

Bill Gates is a handsome man, and his wife Melinda is also a famous super beauty, so it is normal for them to have a daughter with such appearance, figure and brain.

In addition to Bill Gates' daughter Catherine, also traveling with him was Gates' bodyguard and butler, Paul.

Paul is a talented person. He is obviously very skilled to be a bodyguard.

In fact, Paul is indeed a black belt master in karate, and he also went to Thailand to practice Muay Thai for several years.

Paul defeated the most famous Muay Thai fighter of the time.

More importantly, Paul also holds a double degree in finance and business management, and even understands cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence. He is truly a man of both civil and military talents.

Anyway, Paul is an important assistant to Gase and is indispensable.

Catherine took a sip of ice water and asked, "Dad, the person who bought the island was a Chinese, right?"

Gais nodded: "Yes, he is a Chinese from Hong Kong Island." "Then we will go to Tenglong Island again this time and meet him again. What if he regrets it?"

Gus took a sip of red wine and smiled: "Regret? There is no point in regretting. Now the transfer procedures have been completed. That island has nothing to do with me anymore."

"Daddy, then why do we still have to go there? I really don't understand."

Gus smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I am just curious, why does he want to buy the island? Is there any purpose?"

Catherine was stunned for a moment: "Do you still care about this? Maybe the reason he bought the island was just because he thought it was cool."

Bill Gates laughed out loud. His youngest daughter, Catherine, was really too young. She wanted to buy an island just because of the word "cool". That was really outrageous. It was outrageous to the extreme.

An island is completely different from a car, a house, or anything else. They are completely different things and require a lot of money to achieve.

Gasco is not only a shrewd businessman, but also has a technical background. To put it bluntly, he started his business by writing code in the garage. Therefore, Gas has very strict logic and is not easy to fool.

It would be fine if an outsider bought the island, as he might not understand the situation in Hong Kong Island. However, a local from Hong Kong Island bought Tenglong Island, which made Gates doubt and curious, and he wanted to know what the other party was thinking.

Why buy an outlying island with almost no development value?
Gus has always wanted to figure this out, but he was busy on vacation some time ago and didn't have the time to do it.

Now that I’ve had enough of my vacation, it’s a good time to come to Hong Kong Island to relax my body and mind and answer some questions in my mind.

At this time, Catherine asked: "Dad, what do you think Tenglong Island looks like now? Will that person develop the island?"

"Develop? How can it be developed? It's impossible. That's just wishful thinking."

Catherine thought about it and realized that it was indeed impossible to develop Tenglong Island.

Catherine has been to Tamron Island.

Father Bill Gates had just bought the island and was very excited. He kept praising the island as a pearl in the Eastern Waters. Catherine was bewitched and couldn't wait to go to the island to take a look.

But after Catherine went there, she was greatly disappointed. The Tenglong Bay was indeed very large and well-shaped, but the water was not clear at all and the ecological environment was severely damaged.

Tenglong Island itself is quite good, with all kinds of terrain, and even a four-volcano volcano, which is quite unique.

But unfortunately, there is no fresh water on Tenglong Island.

At that time, Geiss was trying to hire professionals to conduct geological surveys on the island to find underground water sources, but there were no results. Later, he concluded that there was no fresh water on Tenglong Island at all.

At this time, Tenglong Island had changed hands. After hearing what her father said, Catherine also wanted to know why the local Hong Kong Islander wanted to buy Tenglong Island.

You can't just buy it and leave it empty, right?
Catherine asked, "By the way, what is the identity of that Hong Kong Island native?"

Gus was stunned for a moment, then asked Paul, "What was the identity of the buyer? Do you remember?"

Paul replied: "Boss, the other party is from the Hu family in Hong Kong Island, and he doesn't seem to be very old."

"...Hong Kong Island Hu family?"

Gus showed a puzzled expression: "Is that a famous family? The only family in Hong Kong Island I know is the Li family."

Paul nodded: "It's quite famous, but not as famous as the Li family."

The so-called Li family, of course, refers to Li Chaoren's family.

Superman Lee is a celebrity worldwide. After all, Superman Lee once topped the list of Asian richest people for a long time.

Gus said: "Then the other party must be quite powerful in Hong Kong Island."

Catherine said, "Of course, Daddy. Without a certain amount of family wealth, how could he spend tens of millions to buy such a big island? Then the question is, what is he going to do on the island?"

Gus smiled and said, "I can't answer that question, Paul. What do you think he's doing up there?"

Paul thought for a moment and said, "Tenlong Island is quite large. Maybe he wants to build something on the island."

"Oh, what do you think you could build?"

"Maybe, maybe he wants to build a secret base there, boss, I'm just guessing."

Gai Si smiled: "Secret base, that's a good idea. Maybe he wants to store some things there, or use it as a transit point for shipping to mainland China."

Catherine was stunned for a moment: "Daddy, are you talking about contraband?"

“We’ll know when the time comes,” Ghaith said.

"Daddy, how do you know? He can't possibly tell you."

"I can roughly guess this kind of thing just by looking at his reaction, and I'm not interested in what he wants to hide specifically. I'm just curious about what he will use it for?"

Catherine thought about it and said, "Well, it's such a big island, there are so many things to do."

"For example?"

"Like where we can build a rocket launch site."

Gus laughed, with an adoring expression.

"Catherine, you always talk about your profession. Do you think anyone can build a rocket launch site? Let's not talk about whether he has the ability to do so. Would China let him do this? China is very strict in this regard."

"That's not certain. Our Lighthouse Nation has strict management. Didn't we allow Malak to turn it into a rocket launch site? And he built more than one."

Gus shook his head: "That's different, that's because there's a story behind it."

Catherine's eyes lit up: "What story? Can you tell me?"

In fact, Catherine is very smart and can guess most of the things, but those are just guesses. There is no solid evidence or hard evidence, so she still wants to hear Bill Gates talk about the inside story.

After all, Bill Gates has access to higher-level confidential information.

This information is strictly confidential and very few people on Blue Star know about it.

Of course, there are so many talented people on Blue Star, and many things can actually be guessed, but the same thing applies: if there is no solid evidence, it is just a rumor and has no value.

Ghaith said, "Malak is the chosen one, understand? Everything he does needs approval. He can't do whatever he wants."

Catherine asked curiously again: "Will he be so obedient?"

Gais said calmly, "There's nothing we can do if he doesn't listen now, but he's not the type to just give in. He'll definitely do something weird in the future. We just have to watch the show."

A moment later, the private plane landed at Hong Kong Island International Airport.
