Chapter 246: A Credibility Crisis

Zhuang Haiyang, who was woken up on time by the biological clock, stood on the balcony of the hotel room, feeling the bustling city that had not yet been awakened, but felt that it was difficult to fit in. The hustle and bustle of the city and the tranquility of the island are two completely different lives.

The real reason why Zhuang Haiyang is reluctant to stay in the city for a long time is that when he arrives in the metropolis, he can't practice quietly at all. Especially in this kind of city made of steel and concrete, it is difficult for Zhuang Haiyang to find the kind of energy he needs for cultivation.

Recently, he has more understanding of cultivation, and gradually understands that what he needs for his cultivation should be the aura often mentioned in Xianxia, or it may be water aura. Only in a place with abundant water resources is the most suitable for him to survive.

Looking at the street downstairs, there were already pedestrians and vehicles walking, Zhuang Haiyang looked in the direction of Nanzhou Island, and whispered: "This day, I believe that the resort will be very lively!"

Thinking back to the thing he deliberately took the time to do before coming to Shanghai, Zhuang Haiyang felt a little guilty. But he still felt that if he didn't make some trouble for Nanjiang Group, he would feel uncomfortable.

The Nanzhou Resort is just the beginning, and I believe that the resorts invested by Nanjiang Group will also encounter all kinds of troubles in the future. As an island resort group, the importance of word-of-mouth and reputation is self-evident.

When people's attention begins to shift to the resorts invested by this group, there will always be all kinds of inexplicable troubles, and it is believed that it is also the moment when the group has a crisis of confidence. Word of mouth and reputation are gone, and it is not so easy to recover it.

Standing on the balcony and blowing the wind for a while, Zhuang Haiyang, who returned to the bedroom, saw his girlfriend who was still asleep, and did not disturb her dream. For Zhuang Haiyang, it doesn't hurt to sleep for a while, but he still wants to calm down.

It wasn't until the other comrades-in-arms got up one after another and saw that there was not much time left to go to the shipyard that Zhuang Haiyang woke up his girlfriend. After washing, the two appeared at the hotel restaurant together and began to enjoy the hotel's complimentary buffet breakfast.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to have breakfast, Concubine Li also asked: "Let's go to sea for a trial voyage today, will we go back to our hometown directly?"

"Probably not! Run two laps in the waters around Shanghai, and then return, and some formalities and documents still need to be signed. As for the official delivery of the ship, it should wait until it returns to Nanshan Island. This is a ship that goes out to the open sea, and it will definitely not work if it does not run long-range. ”

"Oh, will I go back with the boat or fly back to school?"

"It's up to you! In fact, this custom-made salvage boat has perfect rest facilities. Although it is not up to the standard of a yacht, it is not much different. If you want to go with the boat, you will live with me when the time comes. ”

"Isn't that how much?"

"Then do you think it's really good if I live in the crew cabin?

Fortunately, if the sailing speed is fast, I believe it will not take much time. It's just that on the way back, it may be necessary to do some performance tests on the salvage boat, and it will be necessary to spend the night at sea.

If it were someone else, perhaps the comrades-in-arms would be resistant. But this woman is Concubine Li, and they don't think there's anything wrong. In the final analysis, Concubine Li's future identity may be their boss!

Moreover, these comrades-in-arms know that Concubine Li is very valued and spoiled by Zhuang Haiyang. If you really want to offend the proprietress and occasionally blow the wind on the pillow, it is estimated that they will also be very uncomfortable. This job is now cherished by these comrades-in-arms!

When Zhuang Haiyang took his comrades and Concubine Li to the welcome car sent by the shipyard. Far away in the seaside resort of Nanzhou Island, many tourists who get up in the morning feel that something supernatural happened in the resort overnight.

The tree-lined path, which I walked yesterday, was covered with thick foliage overnight. Even a gust of wind blew, and the trees that were originally full of green began to drop their leaves frantically. It looked like it was the middle of winter.

The cleaner who was in charge of cleaning the resort was also horrified when he saw this and said, "What's going on? Why did the leaves on the trees fall off overnight? What the hell is going on?"

Not only the tourists and staff who were shocked, but also the manager of the resort who heard the news and saw many big trees that had lost their leaves and revealed bare trunks, they were also puzzled: "What the hell is going on?"

According to the report of the security guard on duty, from 7 o'clock in the morning, all the plants in the resort have lost their leaves overnight. The seedlings of flowers and plants planted wither quickly when the sun comes out. ”

"What about the gardener we hired?

According to his feedback, the vegetation in our resort seems to have been drained overnight. Without water, the big trees will lose their leaves, and those green plants will naturally not survive. ”

"What? Drained water? How is this possible?"

Even if the manager has organized the staff, try to serve the tourists who stay well. But in the face of such a strange scene, those tourists who stayed in chose to check out. In their opinion, the loss of green resorts and living in them makes people feel panicked.

After some careful inspection, not only did the flowers and plants in the resort lose their moisture, but even the trees that were specially transplanted died overnight. The most bizarre thing is that the results of digging up the roots of the tree and examining it turned out to be dry.

On the other hand, not far from the resort, the natural vegetation is still thriving. The beach next to the resort doesn't look out of the ordinary either. The only thing that really happens is the area where the resort is located.

Since the manager wanted to hide the matter, he was ready to quickly purchase a batch of flower and plant seedlings to replant them. But the gardener still had a headache and said, "Manager, I'm afraid this will not help." The soil is dry, how can you plant a living tree?"

"What about the water? Tell me, we're so close to the sea, why is there no water in the soil?"

If Zhuang Haiyang was here, he would laugh and tell him that the water had been drained by him. Even the water veins below the resort were completely blocked or even removed by him. If you want to restore the water resources here, you have to dig a 100-meter-deep well.

Or, just by watering it manually. But if a large area of land is all irrigated by artificiality, how much water does it need to consume every day? The point is, if something like this happens, it can be said to be a serious blow to the reputation of the resort!

When Zhuang Haiyang and his entourage, warmly received by the shipyard, began to board the customized salvage ship and accept the new ship that was about to go to sea for sea trials. The resort has also received the involvement of local environmental protection authorities, and even other related departments.

For seaside resorts, such a serious and bizarre dehydration incident occurred, and the government departments naturally did not sit idly by. The problem is that even if experts from the environmental protection department come to investigate, they will come to the same conclusion as a gardener.

In addition to the tap water installed in the resort, it can still be used normally. The wells that are usually used to water seedlings have also dried up, and there is no sign of groundwater. The extent of the loss of groundwater is limited to seaside resorts.

Although the official blocked the relevant news for the first time, so as not to cause a large-scale panic. But for many Nanzhou locals, this news naturally can't be blocked. What followed was speculation circulating in the market.

"If you want me to say, it must be that the resort has done too many bad things and has been punished!"

"Nonsense! I heard people say that it was because the resort polluted the environment at will, and eventually reaped the consequences!"

Whatever the rumors, the beachfront resort is temporarily closed for business, that's for sure. When Zhao Penglin learned the news, he also felt stunned. In his opinion, this kind of thing does appear strange.

To be exact, except for the area where the resort is located, there is no abnormality in the surrounding ecology. Such a bizarre incident with obvious pertinence is indeed incomprehensible. But he also didn't expect that Zhuang Haiyang did this.

I believe that no one would have imagined that an ordinary fisherman or fisherman would have such abilities and means to defy the sky. The only thing that is certain is that Nanjiang Group will inevitably suffer heavy losses this time.

The first to suffer heavy losses was the listed stock of Nanjiang Group, which fell several times in a day. As a well-known resort giant in China, such a serious credibility crisis will indeed cause the group to suffer heavy losses!

Jiang Bin, who had just returned to Jiangnan, was also surprised when he heard that something like this had happened at Nanzhou Resort: "How is this possible?"

He couldn't think of any more words than impossible. The only thing that can be done is to activate the group's crisis response in the hope of restoring the resort's reputation. It will not affect the whole group because of one resort.

In order to change the current situation of the resort's water source drying up in the shortest possible time, Nanjiang Group had to invest heavily in repurchasing a large number of flower and plant seedlings and watering more tap water to ensure the survival of the transplanted flower and plant seedlings.

The problem is that the previous situation of the flower and plant seedlings dying overnight and even the pictures have gone viral. Even if the Nanjiang Group quickly releases news and tries to reverse the unfavorable situation, it will definitely not have much effect in the short term.

At this time, Zhuang Haiyang had already returned to Nanshan Island with a newly customized salvage boat. Looking at the brand-new salvage boat, all kinds of equipment are more advanced than the previous fishing boats, and the comrades-in-arms are also eager to try.

He asked, "Ocean, now that the ship has returned, can we go out to sea to try our skills?"

"What's the hurry? The boat can't run away here, so I need to go back to town first and dispose of the fishing boat we rented before. The most important thing is that our salvage boats still need to apply for the corresponding fishing licenses, and we still need to wait for the approval from above!"

For many fishermen, fishing boats are easy to buy, but fishing licenses are relatively troublesome. Fortunately, Zhuang Haiyang has registered a fishing company, and the amount of tax paid in the past year is not low, so it must be no problem for a fishing license to be approved.

Even so, it takes a little time from application to approval. During this period, Zhuang Haiyang also did not want to risk fishing without a license to go to sea. Besides, the real use of the new salvage ship is to salvage the sunken ship rather than fishing!
