Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 529 An unexpected encounter with a travel blogger hired by the resort
Hu Jiashan also thought of many other issues, such as how customers who made reservations could get to Tenglong Island from Hong Kong Island.

Did Kathleen Guise arrange the boats?
Hu Jiangshan had no recollection of Catherine discussing this matter with him.

Of course, the Gas family has many businesses in Hong Kong Island, so resolving this issue should be a piece of cake.

Speaking of ships, Hu Jiangshan suddenly remembered something important.

Hu Jiangshan built a small pier at the eastern end of Tenglong Island before the Lunar New Year. Judging by the time, it should be completed by now.

Hu Jiangshan quickly picked up his phone and opened the "Tech Engine app," only to find that several new messages had been ignored.

Sure enough, the small pier on the east side of Tenglong Island has been completed.

I am truly ashamed.

Hu Jiangshan had too many trivial matters to attend to before, especially recently. He was either on the go or on the road, and sometimes he didn't even have time to check his phone, ignoring the information on the tech engine.

If Hu Jiangshan hadn't remembered about the resort today, he wouldn't have even thought about the dock under construction.

The facility has been completed; please inspect it as soon as possible.

Hu Jiangshan saw this prompt, which was repeated three times in total.

If the inspection is not carried out, the dock will remain unusable and cannot be opened.

Hu Jiangshan had to do the inspection himself; no one else could do it for him, and he couldn't even ask Yu Sheng or A Wang for help.

However, it's getting late now; it's almost noon.

If I go now, I probably won't be able to get back tonight.

However, Hu Jiangshan thought again, why not stay there for one night? It's not like there's no place to stay on the island, and it's quite comfortable, with villas, guest rooms, views, and comfortable beds.

If you compare them, apart from the lack of supermarkets and ice cream parlors, it's much more comfortable to stay at than Victoria Harbour.

Thinking of this, Hu Jiangshan immediately changed his clothes, grabbed some necessities, and went out.

If you're going to stay on the island, you'll inevitably need to bring some food and drinks. Although the Seahorse has some things on board, they're mostly simple instant noodles and pasta, so you should buy more to add variety and make it feel like a comfortable vacation.

Hu Jiangshan bought two bags of things at a convenience store next to the community and then drove to Baisha Bay Yacht Club Marina.

Since the Haima hadn't sailed out to sea for a long time, after a quick inspection, Hu Jiangshan started the engine, sailed out of the dock, and headed out to sea.

It's midday now, the wind and waves aren't too big, so going out to sea is quite comfortable. However, you can't stay on the deck; it's too sunny. If you stay there for just a few minutes, you'll get oily skin.

About twenty minutes later, Hu Jiangshan could see the entrance to Tenglong Bay.

At this moment, Hu Jiangshan noticed another ship not far away.

It was a medium-sized cruise ship, the kind that could probably carry about twenty people.

These cruise ships can go out to sea and are commonly seen at the piers on Hong Kong Island; they are considered a relatively high-end type.

Compared to large ships that carry fifty or sixty people, it is much more comfortable and has a much better configuration.

The ship was moving very slowly, possibly even stopped, and it was unclear what it was doing.

The ship had the words "Royal Princess" written on it in large letters.

It's a fairly common name.

Meanwhile, on the Royal Princess, in the lounge.

There were about ten people in the lounge at that moment. They were all invited travel experts, bloggers, and social media personalities.

Surprisingly, none of these people were sitting; they were all peering intently through the viewing windows.

The nearby seawater had already stunned them, and after a brief silence, they began to shout and yell.

Wow! It's so beautiful!

"My God, are you kidding me?! Where am I? Are you sure this is near Hong Kong Island?"

"That must be the waters near Hong Kong Island. We've been at the pier for less than half an hour... no, less than half an hour! We definitely haven't even left Hong Kong Island yet!"

"That's right, that's right, didn't they say it's an outlying island of Hong Kong Island? Oh right, what's the name of this island again? I didn't pay attention before."

"It's called Tenglong Island, you didn't even remember that? That's too much!"

"Sigh, I thought it was just an ordinary island, who would remember it? I didn't expect it to be so beautiful."

“I also think it’s pretty outrageous. I never thought there were such beautiful islands near Hong Kong Island. The key is that the seawater is so clear. It’s unbelievable that this is the sea near Hong Kong Island.”

"You're right. I always thought the seawater around Hong Kong Island was dirty. How could such a place suddenly appear?"

"I said, is this just my imagination?"

"How could it be an illusion? Could it be that all of us are experiencing an illusion?"

At this point, everyone was already itching to go up to the deck.

Although it was very hot and sunny, it was worth it, because that way we could see things more clearly.

Two men rushed out shouting.

Chen Jiahui tugged at Wang Zining and said, "Zining, shall we go out and take a look?"

"But it will be very sunny outside."

"It's okay, we've already applied sunscreen! Let's just see how it goes."

"Wait, let me put on another hat."

As she spoke, Wang Zining put on a sun hat, and the two of them left the lounge.

A refreshing sea breeze blew in, followed by an incredibly beautiful seascape that made everyone shout involuntarily.

Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining are both travel bloggers and are very famous on several major domestic platforms. They also have accounts on international platforms such as YouTube and Twist, and have a large number of followers.

They were all invited by Tenglong Island Resort to participate in a three-day, two-night experience program.

These kinds of activities aren't free; you're expected to take videos, photos, write travelogues, and experience reports. The content must be positive and uplifting.

You can't be too polite to do something negative when you've accepted someone's food or gifts.

This is also a form of advertising, and it's very effective.

Of course, these bloggers can't just praise; they also have to point out some shortcomings to avoid making it seem like an advertisement.

Nowadays, netizens aren't stupid; they all have a certain ability to discern. If something looks too fake, the promotional effect will be poor.

If you find some minor flaws, the authenticity will be greatly improved, and the credibility will naturally increase as well.

These travel bloggers have visited so many resorts and hotels.

They come in all shapes and sizes, and at all price points. Having seen and experienced so much, there's little that can impress them anymore.

The resort was located on Hong Kong Island, and Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining didn't have high hopes. They felt it was just a place with decent decor and service, but lacked any unique features.

As for the seawater on Hong Kong Island, it's even more mediocre. They've been to Hong Kong Island many times and have never seen any beautiful seascape. It's good if you can't see any trash at all; the seawater is generally very murky. The so-called Victoria Harbour is only beautiful on the surface; if you look at the details, it's just so-so.

But when the two of them came to the deck and saw the seawater up close, they were shocked.

Stunned and speechless.

The seawater here is absolutely stunning. As far as the eye can see, it's an incredibly vibrant blue-green, just like being on the Barrier Reef in South Australia. No, it seems even more beautiful and pristine.

This view is much more breathtaking than what I saw in the lounge earlier.

The two of them couldn't help but gasp.

Wang Zining looked down and immediately saw the seabed. It was so clear, with beautiful corals, fish, shrimp, crabs, sea turtles, and all sorts of jellyfish moving around.

This is like a fairy tale world!

Chen Jiahui couldn't help but exclaim, "My God! Are you sure this is Earth? Or is it another planet?"

Wang Zining said, "You mean a paradise on earth, right?"

"Pretty much. This place is outrageous. I've never seen seawater like this before. It's so much more beautiful than other islands!"

"I'm feeling it too."

The other people felt much the same way as the two, or even more excited. Some of the young men were even eager to go swimming, but fortunately the crew stopped them.

You absolutely cannot go swimming in this place. Although you can see the seabed at a glance, it is actually very deep, at least twenty or thirty meters deep. Moreover, the ocean currents are unpredictable and most people cannot control them.

Chen Jiahui asked, "Such a nice place, aren't there any other cruise ships? That's really strange."

Wang Zining said, "There is something strange about this. Could there be some inside story?"

At this moment, the man standing not far away laughed and said, "You don't understand. This is actually a restricted area. Ships without permission cannot dock here; they can only pass through quickly. And there's more in there..."

The man pointed to the entrance of Tenglong Bay and continued, "You need a permit to enter this bay."

The man's name is Tao Wei, and his position is quite special; he is a so-called hotel experience officer, a new type of profession.

The job is simple: experience all kinds of hotels, write experience reports and travelogues, and post them on travel and accommodation-related platforms. Essentially, you are a blogger who specializes in advertising hotels.

In recent years, the profession of hotel experience officer has become quite popular, and many people aspire to it. After all, it allows you to stay in hotels in various places for free and experience poetry and distant places at any time, which is simply the dream life for many people.

However, it gradually faded into obscurity over the next few years. Perhaps it was because media platforms were so developed that some professions could only exist for a short time before being submerged.

At least at this time, Tao Wei was still quite successful. He could take on at least five or six orders a month, which was enough for him to eat and drink his fill and live a wealthy and carefree life.

Chen Jiahui said, "According to you, this is quite a high-end place."

Tao Wei glanced at the other person and said, "Really? You guys haven't watched that reality show?"

"Huh? Which reality show?"

Wang Zining's eyes lit up: "You mean 'Running Man'?"

"Yes, the last episode of 'Running Man' was very popular. The filming location was particularly beautiful, which attracted a lot of attention and went viral online. Don't tell me you haven't seen it."

Chen Jiahui hadn't noticed these things, but Wang Zining had.

Wang Zining's eyes lit up: "I know that the location for that episode of 'Running Man' was a resort on an island."

Chen Jiahui's eyes widened as she turned to look at Tenglong Island: "Is it on this island?"

Wang Zining nodded: "It should be. It's a particularly beautiful ancient-style resort. If this is it, then it's definitely worth a visit."

Tao Wei chuckled: "Don't worry, I've done my research. When we get there, I'll show you around. I guarantee you'll be amazed."

Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining were both very beautiful, and Tao Wei, being a pervert, didn't want to give up on either of them. He started using various methods to attract the attention of these two beauties while waiting for the ship.

However, these two girls were clearly not so easy to get along with; they were both very vigilant and were constantly trying to avoid any pitfalls.

However, Tao Wei was not in a hurry; he had plenty of experience and patience to handle them.

Even if we only get one done, we've already made a profit on this trip.

Then, the group started talking about the resort on Tenglong Island.

Chen Jiahui said, "A place like this doesn't look cheap. It's also very troublesome to build a resort, so the infrastructure probably won't be that good."

Wang Zining said, "I don't have high requirements. I just need to be able to take a shower. Oh, and it shouldn't be too hot. It would be best if the room had air conditioning."

Tao Wei chuckled: "I think you should be prepared that there will probably be a limit to the number of showers, the air conditioning will be a big problem, and the electricity here won't be very plentiful. Look, there aren't even any windmills for generating wind power."

Everyone looked up and saw that there were indeed no windmills on the island.

Chen Jiahui pointed to the large frame at the other end of the guide and said in surprise, "What is that? It looks like a launch pad."

Tao Wei was stunned. That thing did look a bit like a rocket launcher, but how could there be a launcher on this island? It was absurd.

Tao Wei shook his head: "Impossible, maybe it's a signal tower."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly checked their cell phone signals, which were full.

Then I opened a news app to try it out. The page refreshed normally, and I could even open videos. The speed wasn't slow either. I breathed a sigh of relief; the internet speed was amazing.

Wang Zining said, "It seems to be a cell tower after all. The signal is still full, which means the network facilities here are good."

Just then, a boat sailed by; it was a small, double-deck yacht.

Wang Zining said, "Ah, another ship is coming."

Tao Wei smiled slightly: "This ship definitely can't get in, because it doesn't have permission."

However, the ship approached and stopped its engines.

A handsome young man walked out of the driver's seat, looked around curiously, and happened to be closest to Chen Jiahui, Wang Zining, and Tao Wei.

Without a doubt, this handsome guy is Hu Jiangshan, and he brought the Haima closer.

Hu Jiangshan glanced over and saw two beautiful women. He asked, "Where are you going?"

Chen Jiahui waved her hand and said loudly, "We're going to the island, what about you?"

"Oh! Perfect, me too."

Tao Wei laughed: "Dude, don't even think about it, you can't get up there."

Hu Jiangshan was taken aback: "Why?"

"This is a restricted area; you cannot enter without a permit!"

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "Don't worry, I can go in."

After saying that, Hu Jiangshan turned around, got into the cockpit, started the engine, and drove towards Tenglong Bay.

Tao Wei laughed and said, "Just watch, he'll be kicked out in a bit."
