Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 224: Gus and Baffert
Hu Jiangshan didn't react for a moment. Bill Gates actually wanted to talk to him about cooperation?
What is going on?
Gass is a well-known and wealthy man in the Lighthouse Country.

Hu Jiangshan actually became curious and wanted to know what Bill Gates was planning.
Hu Jiangshan asked: "Mr. Gass, what kind of cooperation do you want to discuss?"

Gus took a sip of wine and said, "There's no rush to discuss this matter. I just wanted to ask about your intentions and whether you have any intention of cooperating with me."

Hu Jiangshan smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Gass, I believe that the people who want to cooperate with you can line up from Tenglong Island to Hong Kong Island, but you have to let me know what you want to cooperate on, right?"

"It's very simple, Boss Hu. Tenglong Island is very big. It should be no problem if we can build one or two buildings here, so I want to rent a piece of land here."

"…Renting land?"

Hu Jiangshan was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He bought Tenglong Island from Bill Gates, and now he wanted to rent a piece of land here. This was simply a waste of time!
Why did Gus have such an idea?

Not to mention Hu Jiangshan, even Catherine Gass looked at her daddy in confusion.

What on earth is Daddy going to do?
Why do you suddenly want to rent a piece of land here?

Could it be that Daddy is not satisfied and thinks Tenglong Bay is so beautiful that he wants to build a villa here?
Although Catherine also felt
Hu Jiangshan asked: "Mr. Gass, what kind of building do you want to build here?"

Gus smiled and said, "Well, I haven't made a plan yet, and Boss Hu, you also need to think about it. We can talk about it later."

Hu Jiangshan remained noncommittal, feeling that Gais was just playing dirty and had no sincerity at all, just trying to make fun of him.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan was not interested in cooperating with Bill Gates.

Who knows what the tycoon of this Lighthouse Country is up to? Who knows, he might put something harmful on Tenglong Island, causing national security issues. That would be like inviting a wolf into the house.

Once it is discovered, Hu Jiangshan will be implicated.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan did not want to be the other party's accomplice. He was a principled man and knew that there were some things that he could not do even if he could get a lot of money.

Besides, Hu Jiangshan has many secret facilities on the island.

Cooperating with the Gass family means accepting a large number of people from the Lighthouse Country coming in and out.

That way, the secret cannot be kept and that will cause big trouble.

Since Gais didn't want to talk about it, Hu Jiangshan naturally didn't ask any more questions and quickly changed the subject.

The three of them sat on the large terrace, drank a few glasses of wine together, and chatted for a while. They were having a good time, the atmosphere was good, and both the host and the guests were enjoying themselves.

Then, Hu Jiangshan accompanied Gais and his party to visit other places on Tenglong Island.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan would never take these people to the semiconductor production line. That place has now been designated as a restricted area, and he would not bring irrelevant people there.

Even Awang and Yu Sheng would not go if there was nothing urgent.

There is also the newly completed office building, which is also a key facility and cannot be exposed to Gass and his team. Otherwise, Hu Jiangshan will never be able to explain how he managed to build such a large building in just a few months.

During this time, Gus finally discovered one thing: the power poles he had seen at the dock before were everywhere, and he could see one almost every few dozen steps.

In addition to power piles, there is another type of pile, which is the water supply pile.

Gus and Catherine looked at it carefully and were amazed.

This shows that the supply of electricity and fresh water on Tenglong Island is much more sufficient than they imagined.

Of course, Gais and his daughter really wanted to know how Hu Jiangshan did it, and even wanted to see the electricity and desalination facilities, but Hu Jiangshan cleverly changed the subject, glossed over it, and continued to visit those unimportant island scenery.

Gass and his group stayed on Tenglong Island for more than two hours and were finally leaving.

Hu Jiangshan originally wanted to invite Gass and his party to Hong Kong Island for a meal, otherwise it would not be a good way to entertain guests, but Gass decisively refused.

At the dock of Tengzailong Island, Gais patted Hu Jiangshan on the shoulder and said, "Boss Hu, I hope we will have the opportunity to deal with each other in the future, especially to establish a cooperative relationship. I am looking forward to it."

Hu Jiangshan smiled politely: "I hope so, Mr. Gass."

Gus looked around the dock again and said, "By the way, we may come to Hong Kong Island again in a while, and maybe we will invite you, Boss Hu, to the cocktail party. Is that okay?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "No problem, it's my honor."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Gus and his party boarded the yacht, raised the anchor, and slowly sailed away from the dock.

On the front deck, Catherine kept looking at the dock of Tamron Island, somewhat absent-mindedly.

Gus came over and asked, "Katherine, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah, Daddy, I was thinking that Tenglong Island is pretty good. I feel a little regretful that you shouldn't have sold it."

Gais smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Even if I didn't sell Tenglong Island, I might not be able to achieve the same success as Boss Hu. You have seen that he has restored the ecology of Tenglong Bay so well, not to mention the problem of water and electricity supply on the island, which requires a lot of investment, unimaginable funds and manpower investment."

Catherine thought about it and said, "I really don't know how Boss Hu did it. Does he have endless money and resources? But compared to you, Daddy..."

Catherine thought of her father, Bill Gates, who was one of the richest people in the world.

Although there are many wealthy people in Hong Kong Island, can they compare with the Gass family?

Obviously not!
Even the richest Hong Kong Island natives, the Li Chaoren family, cannot compare to the Gass family as they are far smaller in size.

The question is, isn't Hu Jiangshan just a second-generation rich man? How can he be able to do so many things?
Incredible and unimaginable.

Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Catherine became curious about Hu Jiangshan.

There is another reason.

It's the appearance of Hu Jiangshan, he is so handsome.

For the first time, Catherine felt that Orientals could be so handsome, with elegance and determination, just like the ancient Oriental generals who were both civil and military.

Gass said: "This Boss Hu is really amazing. He is one of the most amazing Chinese people I have ever met."

Catherine said, "Dad, he is still so young and looks only a few years older than me. Is there someone guiding him behind the scenes?"

Gus shook his head. "I don't know about that, but you can see that he speaks very maturely, beyond his age. I think he is indeed a very capable person."

"Daddy, is that why you want to cooperate with him?"

"Well, to be honest, I just did it on impulse, and I also wanted to test his attitude to see if he was willing to cooperate with us. You should know that he is Chinese."

"I'm curious, what project do you want to cooperate with him on? Also, what facilities do you want to build on Tenglong Island?"

Gus laughed and said, "It hasn't been finalized yet. I can't tell you for now."

"Ah? You didn't even tell me! Daddy, what are you planning?"

Gus waved his hand: "Catherine, you have to understand that some things are better not known. Knowing them will only bring you trouble." Catherine was confused and didn't know what her father was talking about.

But Catherine was obedient and sensible.

Since Daddy doesn't want to tell her, there must be a reason for that. So let's not ask for now. Anyway, if she wants to know, there are naturally other channels to find out.

Ghaith chatted with his daughter for a while and then went to the cabin on the third floor.

Gais looked at his cell phone and found no signal. He then looked up at the surrounding sea and realized that he had already left Tenglong Bay.

Gais couldn't help but admire Hu Jiangshan's ability. He had checked the mobile phone signal on Tenglong Island and it was full.

Apparently, a signal base station has been set up on the island.

Gus called Paul and asked him to fetch the satellite phone.

It took Ghaith several minutes to connect to the satellite and make a phone call.

The phone rang several times, but no one answered. After a while, someone finally answered the phone.

I only heard Gus say, "Mr. Baffert, is it convenient to talk now?"

"Bill..."

An old voice came from the other side.

The satellite phone signal is not very good and there is always noise, but I can still hear what the other party is saying clearly.

As we all know, Mr. Baffert is very old, having reached the age of ninety, but he is still in good health.

Buffett is a very famous person, respected by people in the financial world as the God of Investment. He is a big shot who can call the shots in the stock market.

It is said that Baffert could easily cash out 70 to 80 million Lighthouse dollars, far exceeding the level of being rich enough to rival a country.

You should know that on the Blue Planet, there are not many countries whose GDP exceeds 70 or 80 million Lighthouse dollars.

Of course, there are many rumors related to Baffert.

For example, there is a big capital group behind Baffert, and he is the front-line agent.

After all, Bafort has a special identity. He belongs to the squid tribe, and a very high-ranking member of the squid tribe.

There is no smoke without fire. Rumors may not be false, they just have not been confirmed.

I'm afraid only Baffert himself and a very few others know what kind of power is behind him.

As for why Gates contacted Buffett?
In fact, it is not difficult to figure out that both of them are top figures in the Beacon Country. It can even be said that they are the people who control the economic lifeline of the Beacon Country. They belong to the same type of people.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. They will keep each other informed of any problems.

And the connection between the two is definitely closer than outsiders know.

For example, now, Gass is in Hong Kong Island, but he actually made a satellite phone call to Baffert, which further proves that the two have a close relationship.

Baffert said, "Bill, what brings you here so early?"

Then, Gus remembered that it was afternoon in Hong Kong Island, while at this moment, the sky might just be getting bright in the Lighthouse Country on the other side of the ocean.

"Oh, sorry, Mr. Baffert, I'm in Hong Kong Island now. I forgot about the time difference. Did I disturb your rest?"

"That's not the case, Bill. You should know that I get up very early. It doesn't bother me. But it's strange. Why did you call me so early? Is there something urgent?"

"It's nothing urgent, I just met a very interesting person and wanted to tell you about it."

"What? An interesting person, someone you met in Hong Kong Island? Who was it?"

Gus said, "Mr. Baffert, remember I mentioned to you before that I bought an island near Hong Kong Island? It's called Tenglong Island."

"Oh, remember, didn't you transfer him out some time ago?"

"Yes, I met the seller of this island, and found him to be quite a man."

"Oh? What's the name? Bill, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me now."

Gass told Baffert about his meeting with Hu Jiangshan today, and described it in great detail.

The infrastructure of Tenglong Island is now very complete, including seawater desalination, power facilities, and even communication networks.

After listening to this, Baffert was also quite surprised.

He is an excellent investor and knows very well how difficult it is to build infrastructure on an uninhabited island and how much investment it requires.

"Bill, you mean he's on an outlying island? He built a complete power system, a communication network base station, and even a complete seawater desalination facility."

"Yes, that's it."

"This requires a lot of money. If he is just a rich man or a rich family, it would be impossible to do it."

"That's what's surprising. And Mr. Baffert, remember? It's only been three months since I sold the island, and this Mr. Hu has accomplished so many things. This is very unusual."

"Well, it's really unusual."

Gais thought of something else and said, "Oh, and the ecology of Tenglong Bay. I remember telling you before that the ecology of Tenglong Bay has been severely damaged and the sea water is very turbid."

"Well, then what? Has it changed now?"

"Yes, there have been huge changes. The water in Tenglong Bay is now very clean and clear, and the seabed ecology has been almost restored. To be honest, this really shocked me. How did he achieve this in such a short time? Honestly, I can't do it."

Baffert finally became interested: "Bill, if what you said is not exaggerating, then this person is indeed very interesting. Does he really have this ability? Or is there some big shot or organization behind him?"

"I don't know about that, but he is indeed very capable, so I would like to have a good chat with him later."

Baffert was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Hmm? Do you want to implement that plan?"

"That's right, Mr. Baffert, so I would like to ask you to help me make an appointment with Mr. Rothfeld. I want to meet with him and have a good talk about my ideas."

"This one……"

Anyone who is familiar with the power pyramid of the Lighthouse Nation knows that there are actually several major families behind the Lighthouse Nation that can call the shots on Blue Star, and the Rothfeld family is one of them, and it is a very powerful family.
