Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 493 These beautiful views are inhumane

Hu Jiangshan greeted the two and said to Liu Ziyan, "Ms. Liu Ziyan, right? I am Hu Jiangshan."

As he spoke, Hu Jiangshan took the initiative to shake hands with Liu Ziyan and Lu Ruian.

Liu Ziyan naturally introduced Lu Ruian to Hu Jiangshan.

Of course, Lu Ruian did not make his professional identity clear to Hu Jiangshan. After all, it was somewhat impolite to Hu Jiangshan.

After the three of them exchanged greetings, Hu Jiangshan said, "The boat is ready. If you two have nothing else to do, let's get on board."

Liu Ziyan nodded: "Okay, thank you for troubling Boss Hu."

"No problem. No trouble."

Hu Jiangshan walked in front, leading Liu Ziyan and Lu Ruian towards the berth.

Liu Ziyan looked at Hu Jiangshan's back for a few times and whispered, "Hu Jiangshan doesn't look as bad as the legend says."

Lu Ruian glanced at Liu Ziyan and said, "How can you tell at the first sight? People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. You can know a person's face but not his heart."

"But recently many people have said that Hu Jiangshan has changed and has become very serious."

Lu Ruian said helplessly: "Who did you listen to? Could it be that the Hu family is spending money to create public opinion?"

"Why would the Hu family do such a thing?"

"This is easy to understand. Is Hu Jiangshan the only heir of the Hu family?"

Liu Ziyan thought for a moment and said, "That should be the case. Hu Wenxin should only have this one child. Do you mean... the Hu family is trying to whitewash Hu Jiangshan?"

"Yes, since there is only one heir, even if he is hopeless, there is nothing we can do. We can only whitewash him first, and let him inherit in the end."

Liu Ziyan had to admit that what Lu Ruian said made some sense, but the reason didn't seem to be sufficient.

Even if there is only one direct heir, if this person is outrageous, abstract, and bad, it is impossible to hand over such a large family business to him for management. At most, we can find a professional manager and establish a family fund to ensure that Hu Jiangshan will not have to worry about food and drink.

Besides, just because Hu Jiangshan is a failure doesn’t mean his children are also failures. There is still hope if they are given focused training.

Moreover, Liu Ziyan's first impression of Hu Jiangshan was indeed quite good, much better than he expected.

He was calm, composed, gentle and elegant, and he really looked like a handsome and elegant gentleman.

Of course, what Lu Ruian said was right. You can't tell anything from just one meeting. Otherwise, there wouldn't be words like "hypocritical" and "beast in human clothing".

A moment later, the three of them arrived in front of a berth.

There is a large ship docked in front of me. Although it is only a double-decker, the hull is very wide, about one-third wider than an ordinary large yacht.

Moreover, this ship is not huge. It looks very designed and sci-fi, just like some kind of spaceship in a science fiction movie.

Liu Ziyan asked: "Boss Hu, is this the ship?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Yes, this is the one."

"Such a ship...seems rare."

Not to mention Liu Ziyan, even Lu Ruian, who has traveled all over the country for many years, has never seen such a wide-body ship.

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "Of course it is rare. This is a boat specially ordered by our group. It is used as a commuter ship."

"Ah? Custom-made? Your company is really generous."

"Excellent."

Liu Ziyan and Lu Ruian looked at each other and found it incredible.

Originally, the two thought that the boat arranged by Hu Jiangshan was rented, but they didn't expect it to be specially customized.

Since it is a custom-made model, it means that the boat was bought with money and cannot be rented.

What’s more important is that Hu Jiangshan actually said that this was a boat for commuting, which is even more outrageous.

Liu Ziyan whispered, "Could this be the boat his company uses for commuting? That's too much. The berth fee and fuel alone would cost so much!"

Lu Ruian shook his head, looking disapproving.

In Lu Ruian's opinion, Hu Jiangshan was just bragging, but he had no evidence, so he didn't say anything.

Just then, a man came down from the boat. It was Zhao Zhiwei, Yu Sheng’s nephew.

Zhao Zhiwei has done quite well on Tenglong Island. Now he is a small leader. He has been promoted and given a raise, and now he is working even harder.

Hu Jiangshan never worries about favoritism when it comes to employing people. As long as they are serious, responsible and capable, he will use them with confidence.

Of course, the character of the employees is still very important, and Hu Jiangshan pays the most attention to this aspect.

Even if one's ability is somewhat poor, he can be reused if he has good character.

"boss."

Zhao Zhiwei greeted Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan asked Zhao Zhiwei to take Liu Ziyan and Lu Ruian to the lounge on the ship first, while he went to pick up Li Shuning and others.

Zhao Zhiwei responded and invited Liu Ziyan and Lu Ruian to get on board.

The two men went on deck and could see that the ship was really spacious and that they could even hold a five-a-side football game on the deck.

Lu Ruian asked Zhao Zhiwei: "Is this boat used for commuting?"

Zhao Zhiwei nodded: "Yes, the employees travel back and forth from Hong Kong Island to the island for work by this ship."

Lu Ruian was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that Hu Jiangshan was not bragging. This was a real commuter boat.

Liu Ziyan said: "Your boss really spent a lot of money. The cost is very high, right?"

Zhao Zhiwei chuckled: "I don't know about that. The boss gives quite high benefits. This is normal operation."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhiwei took the two guests to the lounge on the second deck.

The lounge is smaller than the passenger cabin on the first deck, but it is only relatively small and is actually very spacious.

Moreover, the decoration of the lounge should be more luxurious, but not overly luxurious, making people feel simple and comfortable.

What surprised Liu Ziyan and Lu Ruian even more was the facilities in the lounge, which were so complete.

There are water dispensers, coffee machines, juice machines, ice machines, and even fresh-cut fruits and cakes.

Zhao Zhiwei said, "You two can sit wherever you like and eat and drink as you like."

Liu Ziyan asked: "Are these prepared in advance for receiving guests, or are they employee benefits?"

Zhao Zhiwei replied: "This is employee welfare, it's all normal standards, you two can take a rest first, if you have anything, you can ask the crew for help."

After saying that, Zhao Zhiwei left.

Liu Ziyan took a look at the cut fruit pieces and found they were indeed very fresh, so he sprinkled some ice on them to preserve them.

Liu Ziyan said, "I am really a little envious. It must be great to work in such a company." Lu Ruian sighed, "Yes, the employees are very happy, but have you considered the long-term development of the company? The more benefits there are, the more the company's expenses and daily operations will be. How does Hu Jiangshan's company make money?"

"He built a resort."

"It's difficult to run a resort on an island. Unless you go high-end and have people pay for it, the money you earn won't even cover your daily expenses, let alone pay your employees. I guess Hu Jiangshan is throwing money at it like crazy, otherwise how can he afford such benefits?"

Liu Ziyan certainly knew what Lu Ruian meant. If the daily operating costs were too high, the company would not be able to sustain it for too long.

This is the truth, but it does not mean that Hu Jiangshan is a bad person. These are two different things.

Liu Ziyan felt that Lu Ruian was too picky and nitpicking.

This at least shows that Hu Jiangshan treats his employees well and does not deliberately exploit them.

Lu Ruian asked: "By the way, who are you waiting for? Is there anyone else who wants to visit Hu Jiangshan's resort?"

Liu Ziyan shook his head: "Then I don't know."

Just then, there was some chaotic noise outside, as if someone was moving something onto the boat.

Lu Ruian and Liu Ziyan looked through the viewfinder and saw that they were indeed moving things, some boxes of different sizes, which should be relatively heavy equipment.

But this had nothing to do with the two of them, and they didn't ask.

Those people were busy for about twenty minutes and seemed to have finished moving.

Then, Zhao Zhiwei came up with a few people and came to the lounge.

Judging from what these people say, they should be from the mainland.

The two parties did not know each other and were not in the same circle, so naturally they did not say hello.

Immediately afterwards, the wide-body commuter ship weighed anchor, slowly sailed away from the dock and headed towards the vast ocean.

Liu Ziyan looked at the group of people. There were both men and women with a big age difference. They seemed to be a professional team.

Liu Ziyan asked Lu Ruian in a low voice: "What do you think they do?"

Lu Ruian replied in a low voice: "Most likely someone from an advertising company."

Liu Ziyan agreed. These people were also going to the resort on the island and brought boxes of various sizes, which looked like valuable equipment. They must have been invited by Hu Jiangshan to shoot promotional advertisements.

Lu Ruian added: "What is Hu Jiangshan thinking? Why hire a mainland advertising company? There are many excellent teams in Hong Kong, as well as foreign advertising companies that are very professional. The mainland advertising companies may quote lower prices, but their standards are acceptable."

Liu Ziyan asked: "Do you think Hu Jiangshan is looking for a bargain?"

"What else? This is the only explanation."

"Not necessarily. Perhaps Hu Jiangshan wants to develop the mainland tourism market. Mainland advertising companies understand mainlanders' preferences better, and the content and effects of their films are more suitable."

"What you said does make sense, but I think it's unlikely that Hu Jiangshan would want to reach this level."

Lu Ruian is more prejudiced against Hu Jiangshan, while Liu Ziyan is relatively better. After all, Catherine said a lot of good things about Hu Jiangshan to Liu Ziyan.

When Liu Ziyan heard it at that time, he found it quite magical. He always felt that Catherine was not talking about Hu Jiangshan, but some elite person.

Despite this, Liu Ziyan was still somewhat mentally prepared, thinking that Hu Jiangshan might not be the bad person as rumored.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan himself is really handsome and has a great temperament. He is a typical handsome guy and he really fits Liu Ziyan's aesthetic taste.

Of course, Liu Ziyan believes that few women think Hu Jiangshan is not handsome, and this is an objective fact.

But the question is, if Hu Jiangshan is so handsome, will those girls feel uncomfortable when he does something bad?
Liu Ziyan is really hard to figure out, appearance is justice.

By the way, Liu Ziyan now remembered to do his business, and quickly took some photos and videos of the ship's lounge.

Although this is not a resort, it is also an important transportation configuration, and Catherine still needs to know about it.

After a moment, Lu Ruian suddenly stood up, pointed ahead and said, "It should be that island, right?"

Liu Ziyan looked over and indeed saw an island, and it looked to be a very large island.

Lu Ruian looked confused: "Such a big island? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Liu Ziyan shook his head: "This island should be very expensive, right?"

"That's not necessarily the case. It still depends on the quality of the island itself, its ecological environment, and whether it has fresh water. Islands without fresh water are much cheaper."

At this time, several mainlanders also stood up, pointing at the island excitedly and talking about something, basically some words of praise.

Hearing this, Liu Ziyan and Lu Ruian looked at each other in disbelief.

These people are exaggerating too much. They actually said that the island can be compared with Maldives and the South Barrier Reef, and that it is more beautiful than most islands in Tyrande.

Have these people ever been to those places? Not to mention the South Barrier Reef and Maldives, there are many beautiful islands in Tyrande alone. Whether it is the scenery or the ecological environment, they can beat all the outlying islands of Hong Kong Island!
It’s not that the two of them looked down on these people, it’s mainly because their words made them feel uncomfortable.

Even if they like Hong Kong Island, there is no need to brag about it like this. It's really outrageous.

However, the island did get closer, and the surface of the water seemed to change.

Becoming... clearer and more transparent.

Soon, Liu Ziyan and Lu Ruian were both completely dumbfounded.

They had now noticed that the closer they were to the island, the clearer and more beautiful the water became, to an extremely exaggerated degree.

Who can believe it?
You can actually see colorful corals on the boat!

That’s right, you can see the seabed at a glance!
The two were stunned and dumbfounded. They were completely unprepared for such a scene.

On the contrary, those mainlanders were still admiring, but they did not feel as shocked as the two of them.

At this moment, the two of them had no time to think about why this happened. Liu Ziyan couldn't help but said, "I'll go out and take a look!"

Having said that, Liu Ziyan walked out of the lounge, and Lu Ruian quickly followed him out.

The wind outside made people feel particularly comfortable. Looking down from the deck, Liu Ziyan was confused.

"Ryan, Ryan, come here and take a look! Can you believe it? There is actually a place like this in Hong Kong Island!"

Lu Ruian's mouth has not been closed since the beginning. Thinking back to what those mainlanders said just now, he no longer thinks they are exaggerating. Instead, he thinks they are a bit conservative.

Lu Ruian is an executive of a chain of resort hotels. He often goes to South Australia. The ecological environment there is good enough, especially the South Barrier Reef and the unique coral waters on the Blue Star. However, compared with here, it actually feels a bit inferior.

"How is this possible? If there is such a place, how can it be the Hu family's turn to develop it? This is impossible..."

Liu Ziyan said: "But this is the fact. I didn't expect there would be such a beautiful island in Hong Kong."

Soon after, the commuter boat entered Tenglong Bay. The waters there were even more beautiful, shocking the two men to the point that they even felt that the scene before them was an illusion.

For those who come to Tenglong Island for the first time and are not mentally prepared, shock is inevitable.

There is nothing human about this beauty.
