Timor's island development plan?
Wait, what the heck is Timor?

The Hong Kong tycoons were bewildered; they had indeed never heard of Timor before.

Just like Brunei, if it weren't for the fact that the place produces oil and the royal family is rolling in money, who the hell would know what Brunei is?
Then I continued to inquire...

Oh, so it's Timor Island, which is under the jurisdiction of the archipelago nation. It only recently became an independent country, no wonder I've never heard of it before.

But where is Timor Island?

Wu Feng has some pretty unconventional methods; he even manages to have close contact with a place like Timor-Leste.

Otherwise, why would the other party allow Wu Feng to be in charge of the island's development planning?

And that was the end of it.

This is quite distressing for Hong Kong's wealthy, as there's no further information available. Isn't this a scam?

As a result of further investigation, the reason was revealed.

Timor is an indigenous nation that fought its way out of the archipelago nation to gain independence.

They managed to seize the opportunity, but had very little contact with the outside world.

Wu Feng was able to gain the trust of Timor because he had previously invested in Timor Island and had contact with the local natives, which established a certain level of trust between them.

This guy is so lucky!

Of course, at this time, the Hong Kong tycoons had some understanding of the situation in Timor.

It is a poor island nation with a small land area, roughly the same size as Qiongya Island in mainland China.

Of course, compared to the size of Hong Kong Island, the country of Timor is quite large.

That area still has pristine mountain and forest terrain, and the volcanoes are quite active.

As for more specific details, they couldn't find out.

To be honest, Timor's geographical environment isn't very attractive.

The cost of developing such a system would be far too high.

It's like developing and building something from scratch in a barren land.

Unless Timor has abundant mineral resources or exceptionally rich marine fishery resources.

Obviously, this is unlikely.

The archipelago nation isn't stupid, and its former colonial powers, the Netherlands and Portugal, weren't idiots either.

If Timor had sufficient development benefits, how could it still have a pristine mountain forest landscape?
They simply couldn't understand why Wu Feng would take on such a job.

To savvy Hong Kong tycoons, this is definitely a thankless task, and they wouldn't even consider developing it properly without at least ten years.

With Wu Feng's abilities, what couldn't he have done in ten years?
Even if you invest heavily in the mainland, the returns will be far greater than in Timor-Leste, and by a significant margin.

But the more confused they became, the more they wanted to find out.

Otherwise, wouldn't you regret it to death if you missed some unknown opportunity to make money?
Unfortunately, because Timor was adopting a low-profile strategy at the time, it had very little contact with the outside world.

They wanted to get more detailed information, but they couldn't.

They tried to get information from Wu Feng's men, but to no avail.

What do you want to do?
The Hong Kong tycoons, whose minds were in turmoil, were understandably frustrated, yet they didn't want to directly confront Wu Feng for answers. In fact, Wu Feng found it rather strange.

He has no intention of hiding anything if a Hong Kong tycoon asks him directly.

Indeed, he and the business delegations from the Netherlands and Portugal planned to develop the island of Rott, which is extremely large, almost the size of Hong Kong Island.

Infrastructure construction alone would cost more than a small sum.

It's worth noting that the neighboring island of Macau, after undergoing land reclamation projects, only has a total land area of ​​33 square kilometers.

The island of Rott, which he spearheaded the development of, has a total area of ​​over 1,000 square kilometers, comparable to the size of a county in inland China.

The financial and time costs required to fully develop it would be staggering.

But this is our own territory, so we have to grit our teeth and build it up properly.

Once completed, the benefits will be astonishing.

In fact, he had more than one island to choose from, with Rote being the largest.

The main considerations are freshwater resources and the island's own supply capacity.

It certainly won't be like Hong Kong Island, where a population of 300,000 to 500,000 would be considered good; any more than that would be a burden on the island's ecosystem.

Unless seawater purification technology becomes so affordable that ordinary people can afford it, there's no need to be too eager for quick success.

In fact, the islands in Timor are very suitable for developing unique diving tourism projects.

Not only is the scenery beautiful and the seawater clear, but it is also covered with all kinds of strangely shaped coral reefs, making it very suitable for development as a marine tourism attraction.

Under such circumstances, he naturally hopes that more Hong Kong Island funds will be invested, which can save a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, he waited for someone to come to him, but all he got was nothing.

"Are these guys really that calm?"

Wu Feng felt a toothache; such matters and certain development plans of Timor-Leste could not be widely disseminated through ATV.

Otherwise, no one knows how the archipelago nation, which is still in a state of chaos, will react.

Ahem, at this time, the archipelago nation has entered a period of severe internal strife, and the situation has not improved with the complete end of the zero-yuan purchase program.

Faced with strong international public opinion pressure, and with the help of powerful figures like Zhang Yong, the situation of zero-yuan purchases in major cities has been completely brought under control.

Those police officers and members of powerful agencies who had previously stood by also felt immense pressure from the international community, fearing they would be scapegoated and pushed out. The suppression of the zero-dollar purchase was quite effective.

That's why they say these guys have inherited the tradition of a simple life.

When suppressing the zero-dollar purchase trend, they showed no mercy to their own locals, perhaps because they wanted to get more benefits from the zero-dollar purchase.
On the other hand, the group of high-ranking officials who had previously fled to a scenic island to hold a so-called national affairs discussion meeting in order to avoid trouble, saw that the domestic situation was under effective control and returned to the capital to try and reap the benefits.

The vice president, in particular, came with an aggressive air, as if he was not only coming to seize power, but also to teach the remaining Chinese-American bigwigs a lesson.

It's obvious that they want to pin the blame for the recent series of events in the archipelago nation, as well as the international pressure it has faced, on the overseas Chinese leader who stayed behind, and not give him a chance to turn things around.

This approach is indeed a bit crude, showing no regard for the remaining bigwigs, as if they can be manipulated however they want.

Well, in fact, the performance of the Chinese leaders who stayed behind has been quite outstanding.

Being able to withstand enormous international public opinion pressure and quell the chaos of zero-yuan purchases in the domestic market in a short period of time, such a performance cannot be evaluated too badly.
