Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 288 The Secret of Tenglong Island
The reason why Li Changxi asked his grandfather Li Chaoran about this matter was actually because he wanted to make sure that there were no such shady parties in Hong Kong Island.

As mentioned earlier, the Li family has a complete intelligence network in Hong Kong Island and knows almost everything, big or small.

The appearance of strange parties like those in the West is a big deal.

If it really exists, Li Chaoran will definitely be able to grasp it at the first time.

Li Changxi said: "Grandpa, do you know about Hu Jiangshan's recent movements?"

Li Chaoran was stunned: "Hu Jiangshan? The grandson of Hu Yingxiang?"

"Yes, that's him."

Li Chaoran thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of Hu Jiangshan, I did hear some rumors recently. That guy is a little weird. His performance has suddenly improved and is remarkable. It seems that his reputation has improved."

Li Changxi was speechless for a moment. Although he didn't like to hear any good words about Hu Jiangshan, what Li Chaoran said was indeed true.

Hu Jiangshan's reputation has indeed improved a lot recently, and some people have even started to compare Hu Jiangshan with Li Changxi.

This is what Li Changxi can't accept the most.

Li Chaoran said, "I heard that Hu Jiang bought an island and opened a fishery, is that right?"

"Yes, Grandpa."

"I just don't understand why he would want to run a fishery? The Hu family doesn't have such an industry."

Li Changxi said: "Not only that, he recently bought another island."

Li Chaoran showed a surprised expression: "He bought another island? Is he mentally ill? Why did he buy so many islands? What are they for? Is he going to open a fishery there?"

It seems that Li Chaoran knows even less than Li Changxi.

This is normal. Hu Jiangshan is a junior and was once a prodigal son among playboys. He can do nothing but cause trouble.

How could a big shot like Li Chaoran focus his attention on Hu Jiangshan?

Therefore, it is unlikely that Li Chaoran would deliberately inquire about Hu Jiangshan's affairs. At most, if someone reported some strange things Hu Jiangshan did, Li Chaoran would listen, smile and that would be the end of it.

Li Chaoran didn't think that someone like Hu Jiangshan could accomplish anything great. At most, he would just be a topic of conversation after dinner.

Li Changxi said: "Grandpa, it seems that Hu Jiangshan did not open a fishery this time. Some people said that he built a launch site on the island."

"...Ah? What did you say? What scene?"

"The launch site is a rocket launch site."

Li Chaoran was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe his ears.

"A rocket launch site? The kind that can launch satellites?"

"should be."

Li Chaoran was silent for a few seconds and said, "That's not right. Can a rocket launch site be built casually? There are only a few countries in the entire Blue Planet that can build a rocket launch site. Even the launch sites in the mainland are limited."

Li Changxi said, "Grandpa, that's exactly what people are saying, especially in the last two days. They're saying there seems to be a rocket launcher on that island."

Li Changxi didn't dare to lie to Li Chaoran. He did hear rumors yesterday that a very tall launch pad was erected on Tenglong Island.

Li Changxi was very Spartan at the time and felt that it was not very reliable, but the others spoke so confidently and even took photos, which made Li Changxi believe it.

Hu Jiangshan really built a rocket launch site, which is too weird.

How much would it cost? Forget Hu Jiangshan, does the Hu family have the financial resources to do that?

To put it another way, even if Hu Jiangshan has money, he does not have the technology to build a rocket launch site!

So Li Changxi ran over to talk to his grandfather about this matter, asking him to figure out what Hu Jiangshan was up to.

Li Chaoran is a very knowledgeable person. Although he made his fortune in real estate, he has now invested in many high-tech projects, including the aerospace industry.

Li Chaoran has some knowledge about aerospace and knows that the difficulty and threshold are extremely high.

Li Chaoran shook his head, still not quite believing it.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Hu family is not strong enough to build something like that. It's hard for our Li family to build a rocket launch site. Even if the Hu family is really rich, they can't break through the technical threshold. It's impossible to do it."

Sure enough, Li Chaoran had the same idea.

It seems that everyone who heard about Hu Jiangshan building a rocket launch site on the island felt that it was contrary to common sense and illogical.

Li Changxi said, "Grandpa, I didn't believe it at first, but the story has spread. Many people drove their yachts to see it. They can indeed see a rocket launcher on the island. I don't think Hu Jiangshan can build a fake one, right?"

"Are you sure that's a rocket launcher? Could it be something else?"

"Something else? Grandpa, could it be a bungee jumping rack?"

"How would I know?"

Li Chaoran raised his eyebrows and said, "Anyway, I don't believe that it is a rocket launcher. There must be some misunderstanding."

"Grandpa, do you want to investigate?"

Li Chaoran hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better to investigate and see what the Hu family is doing."

"My god, Hu Jiangshan is a cunning guy. He won't let anyone go to the island."

"Not allowing people to go to the island? He guards it so strictly."

"He has sealed off the pier, so yachts can't even dock."

"Oh, so cautious, that's indeed suspicious."

Li Chaoran thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to investigate."

Li Changxi felt relieved. His grandfather Li Chaoran had connections in all walks of life and had great power. As long as he wanted to do something, he would definitely be able to accomplish it.

Early the next morning, Hu Jiangshan was awakened by the ringing phone.

When I looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be my mother Yuan Caihua calling.

Hu Jiangshan answered the phone.

"Mom, what's wrong? You're calling so early."

"Is it still early? It's almost eight o'clock. Did you go out to play yesterday?"

"No, Mom, I didn't go out to play."

Hu Jiangshan thought about it and agreed that eight o'clock was not considered early.

If it were in his previous life, if Hu Jiangshan had not worked overtime the day before, he would probably have been working intently in the laboratory at seven o'clock.

Hu Jiangshan had no choice but to say, "I'll get up right away."

Yuan Caihua said: "Don't be in a hurry, let's talk first, Ashan, what are you busy with recently?"

Hu Jiangshan said vaguely: "What else can I be busy with? It's just that little thing."

"About the fishery?"

"Yes, yes, the fishery business has been getting back on track recently, so I've been quite busy."

"That's good. Also, how's the newly bought island?"

Hu Jiangshan was confused for a moment: "A newly bought island?" "Yes, you still want to hide it from mom? Didn't you buy a new island? It's called...what's it called?"

Hu Jiangshan had no choice but to say, "Tenglong Island."

"Yes, yes, it's called Tenglong Island. You bought it some time ago, right?"

Hu Jiangshan had no choice but to admit that he had indeed bought Tenglong Island.

In fact, Hu Jiangshan also knew that Yuan Caihua and Hu Wenxin should have known about this for a long time, and his grandfather Hu Yingxiang had been paying attention to Hu Jiangshan's every move.

There is no reason why something as big as buying an island could escape their surveillance.

Of course, they were actually concerned about Hu Jiangshan’s personal safety and were afraid that he would suffer losses in his business. It was completely well-intentioned.

But they should also be surprised that Hu Jiangshan actually had so much money to buy that Tenglong Island.

Fortunately, Yuan Caihua didn't mean to ask further questions: "By the way, I have a few friends who are very interested in Tenglong Island and want to go to the island to take a look. Is that okay?"

Hu Jiangshan quickly said, "No problem, Mom, it's easy. We can go anytime."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with them and then tell you."

Hu Jiangshan responded.

At this time, Yuan Caihua asked again: "By the way, Ashan, you spent a lot of money to buy such a big island, right? Is the money enough?"

"It's enough, Mom. Don't worry. If it's not enough, I will definitely tell you."

"That's true. Okay, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Hu Jiangshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Recently, Hu Jiangshan has been busy with too many things and has not had much contact with his parents or even his grandfather Hu Yingxiang. This is really too much.

Since Yuan Caihua said that some people want to go to Tenglong Island to take a look, then go ahead and take a look. As long as you don't get close to the semiconductor production line, there is nothing sensitive on the island that you can't see.

Wang Qiu Ming and the crew spent four days on Tenglong Island, and nothing went wrong.

A moment later, Yuan Caihua called again and told Hu Jiangshan that she would bring a few friends to Tenglong Island tomorrow.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "Do you want me to find a boat to pick you up?"

Yuan Caihua said, "No need, we'll take another boat and you can just wait for us on Tenglong Island."

Of course Hu Jiangshan said it was no problem.

Hu Jiangshan chatted with Yuan Caihua about some random things before hanging up the phone.

In fact, Hu Jiangshan was still a little puzzled. Yuan Caihua had ignored Tenglong Island before, so why did she suddenly want to invite her friends to go there today?

By the way, who are those friends that my mother wants to bring? Hu Jiangshan also forgot to ask.

The next day, Hong Kong Island, Koriyama Pier.

There are many piers in Hong Kong Island, and many of them are specially used for rich people to dock their yachts. Junshan Pier and Baisha Bay Yacht Club Pier both belong to this category and are specifically designed to serve the wealthy.

However, the scale of Junshan Pier is smaller than that of the Yacht Club Pier, and it adopts more refined management, so the charges are higher.

Many wealthy people in Hong Kong Island have rented berths at several docks. After all, rich people have many boats, and the locations of the docks are different, so the convenience levels are also different.

At this time, in the VIP lounge, Yuan Caihua was chatting with several ladies.

These ladies are all good sisters of Yuan Caihua. They usually have to eat and go shopping together. Of course, gossiping and chatting are also part of the routine.

Today they made an appointment to go sightseeing on an island together. That island was of course Tenglong Island, which was also the island bought by Yuan Caihua’s son Hu Jiangshan.

As for why this trip was arranged? It was because of the suggestion of one of the noble ladies.

This noble lady's name is Xing Qiaoyun, and she has a very prominent background, as Xing Qiaoyun's husband is from the Li family of Hong Kong Island and is a relative of Li Chaoran.

Of course, they are a branch of the Li family and their status is definitely not as high as that of direct descendants like Li Chaoran.

But the Li family is the largest family in Hong Kong, and even its side branches are very wealthy.

Xing Qiaoyun heard a piece of news that Tenglong Island is very beautiful. Many people went there to see it and were reluctant to leave. It is definitely worthy of its reputation.

Moreover, Xing Qiaoyun actually knew that Tenglong Island belonged to Hu Jiangshan, so she talked to Yuan Caihua and wanted to invite a few good sisters to go to the island to take a look.

They usually see each other every day and have a good relationship, so it is naturally difficult for Yuan Caihua to refuse.

In fact, there was nothing to refuse. The island belonged to Hu Jiangshan. Everyone praised the island for its beauty. Yuan Caihua was also very happy and felt that she had made a name for herself.

So today, a few good sisters got together and prepared to take a boat to Tenglong Island to see how beautiful it is.

Xing Qiaoyun took a sip of coffee and said, "Sister Yuan, thank you for troubling us today. It would be great if you could take us to the island."

Several other ladies also nodded.

"Yes, Sister Yuan is really capable. I heard that Tenglong Island doesn't allow people to go up there. You can only stay in the water and watch the scenery."

"That's right. It's a private island. How can outsiders be allowed to go there? If everyone goes there, it will be a mess."

"Or is it Sister Yuan who is really capable? If we can get up there, we can show off to others."

Yuan Caihua waved her hands: "You guys are really something, what's there to show off about this? It's not easy to get up there. I can just tell my son."

Xing Qiaoyun smiled and said, "Sister Yuan, your son Ashan is really capable. He actually bought such a big island like this. I'm just curious. I wonder if he earned the money himself, or if you supported him with part of it?"

Actually, it’s a bit rash to ask this question, after all, it’s someone else’s private matter.

But everyone is so used to chatting about gossip together that the sense of boundaries is not that strong anymore.

Yuan Caihua had nothing to hide, so she said openly, "It was his own money. His father and I didn't give him a penny."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other with expressions of disbelief and disbelief.

Although they have not been to Tenglong Island yet, they have heard about the situation there.

The island is not small and there is a bay. If the scenery is as beautiful as they say, it would be worth the money.

So, several hundred million may not be enough to buy an island.

It is really exaggerated that Hu Jiangshan bought the island without relying on his family.

How did Hu Jiangshan make all this money?

Naturally, no one would ask any further questions. Everyone would stop at the right time and knew the limit.

Xing Qiaoyun checked the time and said, "Don't worry, the boat will be repaired soon."

Everyone said they were not in a hurry, as they were all free and it was just a matter of drinking one more cup of coffee, so there was no need to rush.

The boat was arranged by Xing Qiaoyun. It was a large yacht of the Li family and was very luxurious.

However, this yacht has not been out to sea for a long time. On the one hand, it needs to be cleaned, and on the other hand, it needs a comprehensive inspection to avoid any problems during the journey.

A moment later, someone came over. It was the yacht's first mate Miao Feng.

"Ma'am, the boat is ready. You can get on board."
