Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 221: Tenglong Bay has undergone tremendous changes
The runway for private jets to land is specific and cars can drive in to pick them up.

For a person like Bill Gates, every trip and every move attracts a lot of attention.

If Gass makes his itinerary public on his social media, it will be a big deal, and he will be surrounded by a group of media reporters wherever he goes.

For example, if you arrive in Hong Kong Island now, it is very likely that official departments and high-level officials will come to pick you up at the airport.

But Gass is a relatively low-key super-rich man.

Ghaith did not make his itinerary public, nor did he intend to attract attention and attract a group of media people to stare at him and take pictures of him.

So Gates hid his itinerary, and all immigration procedures were handled by his agent Zhou Ling in Hong Kong, and Zhou Ling was the only person needed to come to pick him up at the airport.

Of course, doing so would mean losing the blessing of the celebrity halo, and all the procedures would be lengthy and inconvenient, but it doesn't matter. Bill Gates doesn't care. It doesn't matter if he waits a little longer. Anyway, it's very comfortable on the private plane and he can sit or lie down.

Just like that, more than two hours after Gais's private plane landed, the customs clearance procedures were finally completed.

Zhou Ling drove a Toyota Alpha onto the runway, drove straight to the side of the plane, and successfully picked up Bill Gates and his party.

Gus asked, "Have you arranged your trip to the island?"

Zhou Ling replied: "The yacht has been arranged, Mr. Gass, are you sure you want to go today? You can also go tomorrow. Go to the hotel and have a good rest today."

Gus smiled slightly: "I don't feel tired, how about you, Catherine?"

Catherine immediately replied, "Daddy, I don't feel tired either."

Although Ghaith and his crew were riding on a private plane with sofas and beds on board, they had to stop once for refueling, so the entire journey took nearly ten hours.

What's more, there is a big time difference between the two places, so he should feel tired. However, Gass has always been a fitness expert, has a regular diet, and is not particularly old, so his physical fitness is very good.

As for Catherine Gass, she is very young and has no problem staying up late, let alone traveling across the ocean on a private jet.

Gais said to Zhou Ling, "Let's do it today. Since we have already made an appointment there, it would be rude to change the schedule at the last minute."

Zhou Ling nodded, thinking that this was the best approach. She had just asked casually just now. If the itinerary was really changed at the last minute, it would indeed be disrespectful to Hu Jiangshan, and the other party might not agree.

Zhou Ling asked: "Mr. Gass, should we go directly to the dock to take the boat? Or should we find a place to rest for a while?"

Without hesitation, Gus said, “Let’s go to the dock now.”

The Toyota Alpha drove directly to the dock.

There are many docks on Hong Kong Island, and Zhou Ling chose a small commercial dock.

This pier is relatively low-key and suitable for secret travel.

If it is a popular commercial port, especially one frequented by many wealthy and prestigious people, there will be many people who know big names like Bill Gates.

Therefore, it is wise to choose small and medium-sized commercial terminals.

A moment later, the Toyota Alpha arrived at the designated dock.

Zhou Ling led Gais and his group to the innermost and quietest berth, where a yacht was parked.

This yacht is relatively low-key and can only be considered a medium-sized yacht. It is not very eye-catching in front of various super-large luxury yachts.

This was also what Gais requested, to let Zhou Ling keep a low profile as much as possible. He didn't want to be targeted by all kinds of people while on the boat.

Of course, low-key is only relative.

For wealthy people, being able to ride on this medium-sized two-deck yacht is considered quite luxurious.

Moreover, the yacht has been modified and the interior decoration is excellent, which is in line with the elegant temperament of Bill Gates' family.

The captain's team has also been found and is waiting on the ship. They are all experienced and very reliable people.

Everyone boarded the yacht, started the engine, and slowly sailed out of the dock and headed towards the vast ocean.

In the 360-degree surround viewing lounge on the second deck, everyone chatted while drinking coffee and juice.

Gais asked Zhou Ling: "Is Tenglong Island still the same as before?"

Zhou Ling hesitated for a moment and replied, "I recently heard that Boss Hu, the buyer, made some changes to the island, but I don't have any definite information about the extent of the changes. I haven't been there to see it in person, so it's hard to say."

Gus smiled and shook his head: "It's only been a short while. He probably won't be able to do anything. At most he can build a few houses."

Zhou Ling suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Mr. Gass, I heard a piece of news about Tenglong Island."

"what news?"

"I heard that... there is fresh water on Tenglong Island now."

Gus was shocked and blurted out, "...W-what!?"

Catherine's eyes widened. "Is this true? But isn't there no fresh water on Tenglong Island? How did he do it?"

Zhou Ling quickly said, "I just heard about it, it might just be a rumor, but the patrol officers from Tenglong Island haven't come to the water plant on Hong Kong Island to replenish water for a long time."

Gus looked puzzled. "It's been a long time since we last replenished our water supply? Are the two people patrolling the island still the same?"

Zhou Ling nodded: "Yes, their two families are still on the island."

The family Zhou Ling was referring to were, of course, Yu Sheng and A Wang’s families.

Zhou Ling is very familiar with Yu Sheng and A Wang. It was she who introduced the island patrol jobs to them, so they occasionally communicate with each other.

However, Zhou Ling has not contacted the two recently. She just went to the water plant by chance and learned that the two had not come to replenish water for a long time.

You know, this is very abnormal. Fresh water is a necessity for everyone. It cannot be lacking for a day. Both families replenish water every two or three days. It should not be interrupted.

But the two families have indeed not fetched water for more than a month.

Either the water plant was changed or Tenglong Island solved the problem of fresh water supply.

Out of curiosity, Zhou Ling talked to the owner of the water plant and got some surprising news.

It seems that there is fresh water on Tenglong Island.

Of course, the owner of the water plant was not very sure. He just heard what Awang said casually, but the other party did not elaborate. He just said that there was a little fresh water, but it was hard to say whether it would be enough.

Ghaith was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I sent several geological survey teams to search the island for a long time, but they couldn't find any fresh water, not even a little bit. How could he find fresh water right after he bought the island?"

Catherine said, "Maybe we were just unlucky? We were missed."

Zhou Ling said to Gass and others, "I think fresh water has indeed been found on Tenglong Island, but the amount is relatively small and may not be enough. We can only use it sparingly."

Gais nodded. "That's very possible. Tenglong Island is very large. Even if we send out more surveyors, there will be omissions. It's just a matter of how many people are missing. Maybe that person..."

Zhou Ling immediately reminded: "Mr. Gass, it's Mr. Hu Jiangshan." "Yes, yes, Mr. Hu might be lucky and found an underground water source, but this underground water source should not be too large. If it is too large, the professionals I hired will definitely be able to find it."

Zhou Ling agreed, and she also thought that the so-called discovery of fresh water on Tenglong Island might just be an exaggeration.

Even if we take a step back, what would happen even if we found fresh water?
It is absolutely impossible to have unlimited supply of tap water like in Hong Kong Island.

Besides, Hong Kong Island’s fresh water is all transported from the mainland, and Hong Kong Island does not have enough fresh water on its own.

This is the case for Hong Kong Island, and it is even more so for outlying islands. Zhou Ling has never heard of any outlying island that has sufficient fresh water.

Even though there is fresh water on the largest outlying islands near Hong Kong Island, the supply is limited.

At this time, Gus stood up, looked around at the seascape, and said, "From this point of view, the sea area on the Hong Kong Island is quite good and beautiful."

Catherine also smiled and said, "Dad, I think so too. In fact, I quite like Hong Kong Island. I also want to come here to study abroad."

"…Come to Hong Kong Island to study? Why?"

"I just think China is a mysterious country. Maybe I can have some different feelings here."

"Oh, that's true, but there's no need to study abroad here. It's nice to come here for a vacation occasionally. Catherine, have you forgotten? We have also invested in a hotel in Hong Kong Island. If you want to stay, you can come anytime."

"Really? That's great!"

In fact, many super-rich people in the Beacon Country have assets in Hong Kong Island, either operating them directly or investing in them, and Bill Gates is no exception.

Gass's foundation invested in a luxury hotel right next to Victoria Harbour.

This hotel is high-end and classy. A suite costs tens of thousands of dollars, which is quite luxurious.

Just then, an island appeared in front of us, and its outline became clearer and clearer.

It looks like that island is quite large, and can be considered as a relatively large outlying island in the waters near Hong Kong Island.

The island was getting closer and closer, and I could clearly see that it was in an arc shape, like a crescent moon.

That’s right, the island ahead is Tenglong Island.

Bill Gates watched Tenglong Island getting closer and closer, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar, and couldn't help but sigh.

"To be honest, I think this island is very beautiful. If it weren't for those unsolvable problems, I wouldn't transfer it. I can do some of the things I really want to do on it."

Catherine also nodded: "Daddy, it is indeed very beautiful, it's a pity that we can't develop it."

As Bill Gates exclaimed, the luxury yacht sailed into an inland sea area, which was Tenglong Bay.

Everyone stood in front of the observation room, looking at the situation outside and chatting excitedly.

At this time, Gus was still very relaxed. This Tenglong Island was once his asset, but it also became a source of worry for him.

After Gais discovered the flaws of Tenglong Island, he was unable to transfer it, which made him very upset.

It’s not about how much money Gates lost, that money is nothing, the main thing is that he felt he had made a failed investment, he was so weak, and he was very unhappy.

Now, Tenglong Island has finally been successfully transferred out, and the damn heart disease has been cured. Now when Gass revisits the old place, he has the mentality of a tourist.

Suddenly, Catherine said, "Wow! I've never found the water in Tenglong Bay so clear and beautiful."

Gus came back to his senses, looked at Catherine, and asked with a smile: "Do you think the water in Tenglong Bay is beautiful?"

"Yes, Daddy, don't you think it's beautiful? Look, it's blue and green. It looks very peaceful now, just like a big gem."

“…Hmm? Wait, wait…”

Gais waved his hand, looked carefully at the scenery of Tenglong Bay outside, his eyes widened.

If it weren't for the glasses blocking my view, my eyeballs would have probably fallen out.

"Oh my god, what is going on!? What happened!? Is what I'm seeing real?"

Gus took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes desperately, as if there was sand in his eyes.

Gus put his glasses back on and opened his eyes wide again, staring at the water around the yacht for a long time, with a shocked expression on his face.

Then Bill Gates did something absolutely outrageous. He rushed out of the observation lounge and ran to the forward deck.

Gus looked for a few more minutes, and as if he had not seen enough, he immediately ran to the lower deck at an astonishing speed.

This action scared everyone else. It seemed as if Mr. Gass was possessed by evil spirits. No, it was more like he was possessed by some dirty thing.

Catherine looked worried, and quickly chased after him with Paul: "Daddy, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Ghaith pointed at the water around the boat and said loudly: "How is this possible? Why is the water here so clear?"

"Ah, clear, isn't it good to be clear?"

Catherine was confused and didn't understand why her dear daddy was so excited.

"No, no, it's not bad, Catherine, do you remember what Tenglong Bay was like the last time you came here? Didn't you say at that time that the water in Tenglong Bay was not good at all? It was very turbid!"

Heatherlin was stunned at first, then suddenly realized: "Yes, Daddy, I remember that the last time I came here, the water was not so beautiful, it was gray and visibility was very low. It is indeed different now..."

Catherine is studying biology, although not marine biology, but the marine environment is also an area of ​​her interest.

Catherine could now see the seabed at a glance, and even the sea sand was clear.

Although Tenglong Bay may not be very deep, you can easily see the seabed, which means the water is very clear.

This is indeed completely different from the previous impression.

Not only that, Catherine discovered that there were many live corals and soft anemones on the seabed, which showed that the ecological environment of Tenglong Bay was not bad.

How could this be the case when Catherine first came?

Catherine said, "Dad, maybe it's because there was a typhoon when we came here, so the water is very turbid."

Gus shook his head: "No, I've been here several times. It's impossible that there was a typhoon every time. There must be some changes in Tenglong Bay!"

"…But it's only been a few months. How much can have changed?"

Ghaith was speechless, which was really inexplicable.

More importantly, if the ecology of Tenglong Bay improves, it means that the value of Tenglong Island will also increase!
