Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 283 Bill Gates Seeks Cooperation Again
The infrastructure construction center is located at the junction of West Island and East Island, very close to the extinct volcano. Hu Jiangshan left his commuter bus here and walked over.

This facility is almost integrated with the surrounding environment. If you don’t look closely, you won’t realize it is a building and would think it is a mountain platform.

Hu Jiangshan scanned his fingerprint and walked in, entering the central control room with ease.

The control system of the facility is in dormant mode when it is idle. Hu Jiangshan can wake up the system after authentication.

Hu Jiangshan entered the keyword "restaurant" into the system.

Soon, a list of pre-set facilities appeared.

According to the local environment, the system will first generate the facility type, that is, "sea view restaurant".

Even sea view restaurants are divided into many categories, mainly based on style and size areas.

[Option 1: Science Fiction Style]

[Option 2: Rainforest style]

[Option 3: Simple and modern style]

[Option 4: Stone Age style]

[Scheme 5: Mediterranean style]

……

After looking through a series of restaurant style lists, Hu Jiangshan was a little dazzled.

Hu Jiangshan thought for a moment. The other styles were not interesting, but he could choose between science fiction style and rainforest style.

The office building of Tenglong Island is in science fiction style, and logically the style should be consistent.

However, Hu Jiangshan thought that a sci-fi style for the restaurant seemed too rigid. No matter how unique the design was, it was still too business-like and gave people a cold and bad experience.

There is actually a restaurant in the office building, but it is a small restaurant.

If a large staff restaurant is needed, the underground viewing floor can be converted into a restaurant.

Just put some more booths, dining tables and chairs, and then design a multi-functional kitchen. It’s actually not difficult.

After much thought, Hu Jiangshan felt that the rainforest style might be more suitable and more flavorful.

Hu Jiangshan clicked on "Rainforest Style".

The restaurant structure diagram was generated quite quickly.

There are not only architectural structure drawings, but also detailed functional divisions.

If you feel something is not suitable, you can make adjustments.

Various elements are also designed on it, such as materials, tables and chairs, and glass, which can be combined in various ways.

It feels like playing a restaurant management game, with a high degree of naturalness.

Hu Jiangshan didn't want to go through so much trouble, and he didn't have much creative desire in this regard. He only had two requirements.

First, it’s easy to use.

Second, it looks good.

Hu Jiangshan took a rough look at the structure of the restaurant. The restaurant indeed has all the functions and is very complete, especially the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Sitting inside, one can enjoy the magnificent sea view of Tenglong Bay, and dining will be very enjoyable.

But Hu Jiangshan always felt that something was missing, something that was not perfect.

Hu Jiangshan took another look at the sign. This was an entry-level sea view restaurant, and there was an “upgrade” button on the back.

[The architectural design plan is being updated, please wait...]

A moment later, a new restaurant structure map appeared.

The restaurant's architectural diagram has indeed become much more complicated.

The area is very large, and there is even an extra floor, but this extra floor is not on the ground, but underneath.

Hu Jiangshan's eyes lit up. Great, this is exactly the design we wanted!

The restaurant has an elevator that goes directly underground, where there is also a restaurant. Its design is similar to the underwater viewing platform of an office building, where you can enjoy the underwater scenery.

This is a true sea view restaurant, where you can see both above and below the sea.

Hu Jiangshan was very satisfied and proceeded to the next step.

All the data information of this restaurant building is displayed.

【Architecture】：Rainforest style restaurant
[Level]: Intermediate
【Construction period】: 3 days

【Construction cost】: 500 million Hong Kong dollars

Building such a large restaurant in three days is so fast, even outrageous.

But think about it, it took less than a month to build the rocket launch site, so building the restaurant in three days is normal.

Hu Jiangshan is in a stable mood.

Also, the construction funds only cost 500 million Hong Kong dollars, which was a drop in the bucket for Hu Jiangshan. It felt like this rainforest-style sea view restaurant was a gift.

Okay, what else is there to consider?
Hu Jiangshan pressed the "Execute" button without hesitation.

[Infrastructure construction process: starting...]

[Testing and construction conditions: passed]

[HKD 500 million deducted from the account: approved]

[Infrastructure construction program: Successful launch]

Hu Jiangshan saw through the monitor that the security door of the equipment room slowly opened.

The lights of several construction vehicles lit up, and then the engines started and began to drive slowly towards the door.

The scene is like "The Construction Works", weird and dreamy.

Of course, engineering vehicles are controlled by artificial intelligence, but the level of intelligence is far higher than what modern people understand.

The number of engineering vehicles mobilized this time was not large, and it seemed that only a dozen were seen.

Although projects like restaurants occupy a large area, the construction difficulty and workload are far less than the road network of Tenglong Island, and are even worse than the pier, so naturally there is no need for a big fuss.

Hu Jiangshan is very much looking forward to it. He wonders what the restaurant will be like after it is built.
Is the effect as good as imagined?
Hu Jiangshan returned to the crew and saw that Wang Qiumin and the others had prepared everything and had started the intensive filming.

Hu Jiangshan did not go over to disturb them, but went to look around other places on the island.

In the evening, Wang Qiu Ming called Hu Jiangshan and said the crew was going back to Hong Kong Island.

Hu Jiangshan was responsible for sending the entire crew back.

As the saying goes, send someone home and send Buddha to the west, and make sure you see it through to the end.

When we arrived in Hong Kong Island, everyone was tired after a long day and didn't have the energy to find a place to eat, so we just went back to our homes and our respective mothers.

However, as mentioned earlier, Wang Qiu Ming would be shooting on Tenglong Island for four days, and it was certainly impossible for Hu Jiangshan to follow the crew every day.

We are all familiar with each other, so it’s no problem to hand it over to others.

In the evening, Hu Jiangshan returned to Victoria Harbour Apartments.

After a busy day, Hu Jiangshan felt very tired. He took a hot bath and was about to go to bed when his cell phone rang.

Received an email.

Hu Jiangshan didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it might be spam, but he still had to take a look at it, just in case it was useful.

The use of e-mail is still very common in Hong Kong, which is different from the mainland.

In the mainland, email is indeed not very useful unless it is a foreign company or a port enterprise.

Even if some large companies have management systems such as email, it is only a supplement to the process. Only special formal messages will be notified by email. Most of the time, instant messaging software is used, which is more convenient, more timely and more efficient. In fact, in the past decade, the reason why foreign companies have lost to Chinese companies in competitiveness and have been continuously surpassed by China in technology and industry is that the inefficient communication is one of the reasons.

For a problem, a foreign company needs a week to solve it, but a Chinese company only needs a day. Who can we complain to?
Hu Jiangshan opened his email and found that the email he received was actually in British.

Hu Jiangshan took a closer look and was stunned. The email was actually signed by Bill Gates.

[Dear old friend Mr. Hu, maybe we can meet and maybe we can talk about cooperation. ]

[If Mr. Hu is willing, please reply to an email and let me know your thoughts. ]

【Bill Gates】

Hu Jiangshan was stunned.

Hu Jiangshan confirmed the sender's email address again and found that it was indeed Bill Gates' personal email address.

I didn't expect that Gates would be so humble. He had clearly firmly rejected his cooperation proposal last time, but he actually sent another email to Hu Jiangshan, and it was sent in his personal name.

Gais is still seeking cooperation. His sincerity is really unparalleled.

Hu Jiangshan made a "tsk" sound and felt very embarrassed.

Hu Jiangshan felt that it was difficult to reply to this email from Gais.

What should I reply?

If Geiss still wants to cooperate with the launch site, that will be impossible.

Not to mention that Hu Jiangshan has already started building a space launch site, even if it hasn't started construction, Hu Jiangshan would not be able to cooperate with Bill Gates.

The space industry is a very sensitive special industry
Cooperating with a foreigner, especially a wealthy person from a beacon country, on such a project is extremely risky and could lead to bad luck.

Besides, Hu Jiangshan is not short of money, so there is no need for him to do such a thing for money.

Hu Jiangshan thought about it for a long time and decided not to reply to the email?

Just pretend you didn’t see it.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan was actually a little curious about why Bill Gates was so persistent in cooperating with him.

What would Bill Gates say if they met again?
Also, what would Geis think if he knew that Hu Jiangshan was about to build a space launch site?
Forget it, Hu Jiangshan stopped thinking about it, it’s meaningless.

A few days later, Hu Jiangshan was having dinner in an old tea restaurant in Kowloon. He was enjoying his meal when his cell phone rang.

I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Yu Sheng calling.

When Yu Sheng called Hu Jiangshan, it definitely wasn't just for casual chatting.

"Hey, Yusheng, what's wrong?"

Yu Sheng said: "Boss, there is another building on the island. Do you know what it is?"

Hu Jiangshan asked: "Where is that building?"

"It's right above Tiger Cliff."

Hu Jiangshan understood.

The so-called Tiger Cliff is actually a cliff. From a distance it looks like a saber-toothed tiger with its teeth bared, so it is called Tiger Tooth.

The extra building on top of Tiger Teeth is naturally the Seaview Restaurant.

After Hu Jiangshan started the construction of the facilities, he didn't care about it or go to see where the construction site was?
Hu Jiangshan didn't know where the restaurant would be built on Tenglong Island.

As expected, the site selection for the facility was very scientific. It would be located in the most suitable place and adopt the most perfect plan, so Hu Jiangshan didn't have to worry about anything at all.

Hu Jiangshan said to Yu Sheng, "Okay, I know about this, don't worry."

Yusheng said, "Okay, Boss, I wonder what that building is? What is it used for? It looks very impressive."

Hu Jiangshan said: "Well...wait for me to get there, then you will know."

"Okay, boss, we'll wait for you to come over."

Hu Jiangshan quickly finished his meal and drove to the Baishawan Yacht Club Pier.

Hu Jiangshan had originally planned to go to Tenglong Island today, because he calculated the time and found that the sea view restaurant should have been built yesterday.

Hu Jiangshan had something urgent to do yesterday and couldn't go, but he has to go there today to inspect the project.

It is already winter in the inland area this season.

It is warmer here in Hong Kong Island and you can hardly feel the change of seasons, but it is only almost. The temperature will still drop a little, and it is actually the most comfortable time of the year.

Moreover, areas with marine climate have entered the dry season. There is not as much rain and the waves on the sea are not as strong.

More importantly, the sunlight is not that strong, so you won’t get burned badly when outside.

The Seahorse was traveling at a very fast speed, even exceeding thirty knots, and it reached Tenglong Bay in just twenty minutes.

At this moment, Tenglong Bay, with its clear water and blue sky, is like a piece of jade in the ocean, so beautiful.

This scenery will certainly attract many cruise ships.

In fact, ever since Tenglong Bay became popular on social media in Hong Kong Island, more and more people have been coming here when they have nothing to do.

Fortunately, there were basically only yachts and not many tourist ships coming.

Hu Jiangshan was too lazy to chase them away.

Let them do whatever they want in Tenglong Bay, just don't land on Tenglong Island.

By the way, don’t litter and pollute the environment.

After the space launch site is built, Hu Jiangshan will apply to the Hong Kong government to convert Tenglong Island into a restricted area. At that time, Hu Jiangshan will have the right to keep these ships out.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan drove the Seahorse to the vicinity of the dock.

Before Hu Jiangshan could make a phone call, the nearest section of the fence slowly descended below the sea level.

I don’t know if it was Yusheng or Awang, but when he saw the boss’s boat coming, he took the initiative to open the gate and let the Seahorse in.

Hu Jiangshan got off the boat, and Awang came out of the command center at the dock and greeted Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "Where's the sashimi?"

"Brother Yusheng has gone to drive the commuter bus. All the commuter buses here have been driven away. He should be back soon."

As we were talking, the sashimi arrived.

Hu Jiangshan asked Yu Sheng to be the driver and got on the commuter bus to Laohuya.

The road conditions on Tenglong Island are really great, especially the coastal ring road, which has beautiful scenery.

If you take a battery commuter bus to tour Tenglong Island, it will take nearly an hour and it is a very enjoyable process.

After seven or eight minutes, Hu Jiangshan vaguely saw a building.

We have arrived at Tiger Cliff, and the newly completed sea view restaurant is right on the Tiger Cliff.

Tiger Cliff is located near the middle of the East and West Islands, with a relatively high terrain and a relatively large area.

The terrain was not very flat before, and the Seaview Restaurant made clever use of it.

The restaurant is irregular in shape, with some parts being higher and some lower, giving it a sense of hierarchy.

The restaurant also designed a parking lot, which is neither too big nor too small and can accommodate more than a dozen cars.

The exterior of the restaurant is a combination of stone and wood, which is both wild and stylish. It really looks like a building that would only appear in a primeval rainforest.

There are not many trees around, but it doesn’t matter. Hu Jiangshan has already planned to get a few tree-planting robots to plant some trees nearby to form a forest, so that the restaurant can be as harmonious as possible with the environment.
