Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 530 Tenglong Island is full of shocking sights

Chen Jiahui said, "No way, is it really that magical? There don't seem to be any other boats here, how are we going to get him out?"

Wang Zining also looked around. The sea was beautiful, but there were no other ships in sight.

"Even if someone on the island sees this ship, they can't stop it. Why doesn't he just drive it in?"

Tao Wei said, "It's not as simple as you think. We'll find out soon enough."

Hu Jiangshan's small yacht slowly entered the entrance of Tenglong Bay.

Soon a ship came up from the bay to meet them.

It was a small speedboat with the words "Hong Kong Island Coast Guard" clearly written on its hull.

It turns out that the coast guard vessel was previously blocked by the island's mountains, which explains why it couldn't be seen.

Tao Wei said with a smile, "See? There are coast guard ships guarding the area. If any suspicious vessels sail by, they will be checked, and those without a permit will definitely be driven out."

"I see, I've learned something new."

Han Jiahui and Wang Zining finally believed it, because they could see the coast guard ship approaching the handsome guy's yacht, presumably to conduct a questioning.

I wonder if that handsome guy didn't know this was a restricted area, maybe he wanted to go in and have a look around.

Then, a strange thing happened.

The coast guard vessel was originally going to approach the yacht, but it stopped halfway and then sailed away in another direction.

Tao Wei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

What does that mean? What happened?
Immediately afterwards, the yacht continued its journey, entering Tenglong Bay without any obstruction.

Du Jiahui and Wang Zining both looked at Tao Wei.

"Didn't you say he'd be kicked out? He just went straight in."

"That's right, the coast guard doesn't care about him."

Tao Wei was speechless for a moment, and after a while he stammered, "I can only say that he has a travel permit."

Du Jiahui thought for a moment and said, "There should be. That handsome guy just now was obviously not an ordinary person."

Wang Zining also said, "That's right. Ordinary people can't afford yachts. Those small yachts look small, but they are very exquisite. They must not be cheap."

Tao Wei was now somewhat embarrassed and couldn't say anything.

The handsome guy did get in, which means he had a pass. It seems I underestimated him.

Just then, the medium-sized cruise ship finally weighed anchor and began to sail towards the entrance of Tenglong Bay.

We stopped just now to let everyone see the view outside, which was part of the agreed-upon procedure.

Soon, the coast guard vessel came up to meet them. There were three people on board. They exchanged a few words with the first mate and then let them pass.

It seems that needing a permit to enter is not a problem; Tao Wei's information in this regard was indeed very accurate.

A moment later, the boat reached the center of Tenglong Bay and slowed down again. The organizers intended to let the invited media representatives take in more of the stunning scenery of Tenglong Bay and appreciate the incredibly clear waters.

Just now, on the outskirts of Tenglong Bay, everyone was already quite surprised, but now that they've arrived here, they're so shocked they can't speak.

The seawater inside Tenglong Bay is clearer and more beautiful than outside. Under the direct midday sun, it looks like a highly saturated painting, giving people the illusion of being in a dream.

The others had already gone mad, and Su Jiahui and Wang Zining were no exception.

Despite the scorching sun, the group could clearly see what lay beneath the surface of the sea through the water, admiring the various corals, anemones, and colorful marine life, occasionally naming the creatures they saw.

Compared to the area outside the bay, the biodiversity here is much richer, and the ecological environment is clearly better, reaching an extremely high level.

Sea turtles and jellyfish have become common species, and you can even see whale sharks, which are still very rare near Hong Kong Island.

Even more outrageous, you can even see very large seahorses on the boat. Keep in mind that those things are usually very small and almost transparent, making them difficult to spot when diving.

Tao Wei had indeed done his homework, researching a lot of information about Tenglong Island. He knew it was beautiful, but he hadn't expected it to be this beautiful. He was stunned and speechless.

The people on the boat were very excited, shouting and taking photos and videos.

If someone hadn't stopped them, they would have gone swimming long ago.

"Wow, this place is absolutely amazing!"

"Can you imagine? There are actually places like this near Hong Kong Island!"

"Yeah, if I'd known it was this beautiful, why would I have gone to South Australia, the Maldives, or Semporna!"

"Don't forget, this isn't a place you can just walk into. You can only come in with permission."

"What's there to be afraid of? We can just book a room at the resort and get in!"

"That's right. Although the room rates are a bit high, they're not outrageously high. They're not much more expensive than those resorts in the Tyrande. If you grit your teeth, you can still stay for a few nights."

"Wow, you guys are really rich. But if I had money, or if the hotel rooms were on sale, I would also stay here for a few nights. The view is definitely worth the price, no doubt about it!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed loudly, pointing to a spot not far away: "See that?! It's dolphins! Several of them!"

Everyone looked up in the direction the man was pointing and saw several dolphins leaping out of the water, seemingly circling the cruise ship.

People were stunned. They had seen dolphins before, but this was the first time they had seen such a close and active pod of dolphins.

After recovering, Chen Jiahui said, "I didn't have high hopes to begin with, but now I realize how narrow-minded I was. Even if I had spent money, the seawater alone was worth the price of admission!"

Wang Zining also said, "It was definitely worth the trip, but I'm curious to know how the resort is being built? Will it be built to such a high standard? I hope it matches the seawater, otherwise it would be a pity."

"It can't be too bad, I hope the facilities are complete and comfortable to stay in. I don't have too high expectations."

"That's true, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

Just then, the cruise ship seemed to speed up a bit, and after more than ten minutes, it arrived at the dock.

Seeing the state of the dock, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, anyone who travels frequently and often visits islands can tell that this pier is indeed extraordinary.

The island piers are often very rudimentary, sometimes consisting only of wooden piers and simple wooden huts. Some don't even have huts, just simple sheds that have been in disrepair for years and are on the verge of collapse.

A dock like yours is bound to collapse if it encounters disasters such as typhoons, storms, or tsunamis.

The pier on Tenglong Island is indeed made entirely of concrete, which looks very sturdy and solid.

There are many pieces of equipment on the pier, but it's unclear what they are for.

Chen Jiahui saw something and said, "Zining, look over there."

Wang Zining looked in the direction Chen Jiahui was pointing.

The pier not far away is a bit smaller, and there's a small yacht moored there—the same yacht that handsome guy was driving earlier. It seems it's already docked.

Besides the small yacht, there was also a rather large and wide boat, a very unusual type of boat, and it was unclear whether it was used by tourists or staff.

Soon we'll know what those devices are for.

As the cruise ship approached the pier, several robotic arms extended and jammed the ship.

Everyone was surprised; it turned out this was for connecting purposes.

Chen Jiahui couldn't help but say, "This is truly eye-opening; I've never seen equipment like this before." Wang Zining also exclaimed, "It's so advanced! The level of automation is incredible!"

Tao Wei laughed: "Of course. You may not know, but the owner of this island is a very powerful family in Hong Kong."

"A wealthy family?"

Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining became interested and quickly asked, "Which family in Hong Kong is it?"

"Is it the Li family? Or the Guo family?"

Such a large and beautiful island, with even a beautiful bay, must be very expensive, probably an astronomical price that is unimaginable to ordinary people. Except for the top families, no one can afford it.

Without a doubt, the most powerful family in Hong Kong is the Li family, whose wealth ranks among the top in the entire world.

Tao Wei shook his finger and said, "No, no, you've all guessed wrong. It's the Hu family."

Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining looked puzzled; they had never heard of the Hu family before.

Most people only know about the four major families in Hong Kong through watching TV dramas, movies, and news; other families are relatively unknown.

Of course, the Huo family is also quite famous, after all, they have made great contributions to China.

Although Hu Yingxiang is a celebrity, most people may not know him.

However, Wang Zining quickly found out after checking on her phone that the Hu family and the Huo family were similar in nature, especially Hu Yingxiang, whose deeds were truly awe-inspiring.

Tao Wei knew a lot and was smug, feeling that he was capable again.

"Once we get to the island, you can follow me and I'll show you around."

"Have you been here before?" Wang Zining asked.

"No, but I've done a lot of research and studied satellite maps of this place, so I know a little about this island. I wouldn't say I know it inside and out, but at least I won't get lost."

Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining remained silent, sensing that Tao Wei had ulterior motives and that his eyes were suspicious.

They weren't foolish girls; they obviously wouldn't fall into a trap so easily.

After the boat came to a complete stop, everyone disembarked one by one.

Soon, staff members arrived in several electric commuter vehicles.

The person leading the group was the resort's operations manager, named Fanny Liu.

This is a blonde, blue-eyed woman who speaks Mandarin very well, and even better Hong Kong dialect. She must have lived in Hong Kong, China since childhood.

"Welcome everyone. Now, let's take you to the lounge at the pier for a short rest before heading to the resort."

No one objected; after all, they had been exposed to the sun the whole way and it was quite uncomfortable.

However, privately, everyone felt that the conditions in the dockside lounge were probably not very good, at most they would be given water to drink.

Someone asked, "Is there any air conditioning over there? It's so hot! I was standing on the deck just now, and my skin is peeling from the sun."

Fanny Liu replied with a smile, "Of course there's air conditioning, and we also have cold drinks, iced coffee, fruit, and pastries for you to choose from."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became interested.

I never expected to find air conditioning in a place like this; the conditions are truly a pleasant surprise!

After everyone arrived at the dockside lounge in the electric shuttle bus, they immediately felt that their perspective was too narrow.

Wow, the conditions here are amazing!

Not only is there ample air conditioning, but the lounge is also decorated quite uniquely, with beautiful views outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, just like a high-end seaside restaurant in a tourist city, or even more elegant than those restaurants.

The stunning seascape is unique, and we've already enjoyed it. Now, from a different angle, it's even more magnificent.

The scenery of Tenglong Bay is absolutely top-notch on the planet!

More importantly, the facilities here, while not quite comparable to a five-star hotel, are more comprehensive than those in a five-star hotel restaurant.

The air conditioning cooled everyone down, and the intense heat from before vanished.

"Goodness, is electricity free here? Using it like this, is it really okay?"

"I think so. Look at all these appliances, they're all on. There's clearly no shortage of electricity."

"I just took a walk around, and there are so many delicious foods and a wide variety of drinks, all freshly squeezed juices. They really don't skimp on the quality!"

Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining enjoyed their iced coffee and the scenery, chatting occasionally.

At this moment, someone walked in through one of the doors, found a seat, and sat down very close to Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining.

Both of them realized that the man was none other than the handsome guy piloting the small yacht.

Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining exchanged a glance, their expressions a mixture of surprise and a touch of excitement.

Wang Zining whispered, "It really is that handsome guy, right? I'm not mistaken, am I?"

Chen Jiahui shook her head: "I'm not mistaken, it really is him."

"Where did he come in from? I think it was from that side?"

"Yes, that's the door. Could it be a staff member here?"

"It's quite possible; even the coast guard didn't stop him."

Just then, the handsome guy probably heard the voices coming from over there, looked over, and froze. He clearly recognized the two girls, Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining.

"It's you."

Chen Jiahui quickly waved to Hu Jiangshan: "Yes, it's us, what a coincidence!"

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "It is indeed fate."

Wang Zining asked curiously, "Are you a staff member here?"

Hu Jiangshan hesitated for a moment: "Yes, staff."

"So you know this place very well?"

"Yes, I know it very well. You can ask me any questions you may have."

Chen Jiahui asked, "How's the resort construction going? Will it be comfortable to stay there?"

"I haven't been there yet, but it should be alright. Since it's already going into trial operation, it means it's basically ready."

At this moment, Tao Wei walked over and said, "No need to ask, he doesn't know either. You have to ask me about this. I've already contacted the resort's operations team and I know very well about it."

Hu Jiangshan didn't say anything; he genuinely didn't know the situation at the resort.

Hu Jiangshan didn't even know when the resort's advertisements were put up.

After a short rest, everyone boarded the electric shuttle bus again, guided by Fanny Liu.

Hu Jiangshan followed and sat in the car, with Chen Jiahui and Wang Zining in front of him.

The electric shuttle bus started up and headed towards the resort.
