Chapter 1244: The Island Lord
readx;
The world-famous Fortune magazine once predicted in its inaugural issue in 1930: "As a symbol of wealth, privately owned islands will even replace yachts today." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
This prediction has been realized in the fifties and sixties of the last century, on the east and west coasts of Canada. Private islands are found off the coast of New England, the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and Europe, and North America is a paradise for private islands.
However, in China, due to the imperfection of relevant regulations, the verification of this prediction came relatively late and was more tortuous, and it was not until 2005 that the concept of private islands was in the minds of the Chinese people.
But there are also some invisible rich people like Zhuang Rui, who have bought private islands abroad and become addicted to the owners of the islands, and today, this kind of life away from the hustle and bustle is recognized by more and more rich people.
Looking down on this private island that belongs to him from the plane, Zhuang Rui was also a little excited in his heart, in ancient words, this was his fiefdom, and Zhuang Rui was the lord of this island.
When the plane came to a standstill on the long runway, Zhuang Rui pushed open the hatch and walked down, the warm and slightly salty air of the sea breeze made him feel refreshed.
The airport is not very large, but there are two runways, which can accommodate two aircraft to take off and land at the same time, isolated from the outside by barbed wire fence on all sides, and directly in front of the runway, there is a two-story tower command room.
"Husband, it's so beautiful, I really want to live here forever......"
Outside the airport is covered with tall palm trees, and a little further away is a lush primeval forest, shrouded in a fog that looks unusually mysterious and beautiful.
Hearing his wife's words, Zhuang Rui also felt a trace of tenderness in his heart, stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around Qin Xuanbing's waist, and said: "When I retire, let's live here, fish every day, and go out to sea to blow the sea breeze, okay?"
In recent years, Zhuang Rui's fame has become bigger and bigger, and his net worth has become more and more rich, but the hustle and bustle of the city has made him feel more and more bored.
Hearing Zhuang Rui's soft voice in her ear, Qin Xuanbing's face showed a look of intoxication, she was already a tranquil Xingzi, and she was extremely satisfied to be able to live in this paradise-like place with her husband and children.
"Xiaozhuang, have you finally arrived at ......the place? Is this island all yours?"
The voices of Zhang's mother and sister-in-law Li interrupted the conversation between Zhuang Rui and his wife, and the two of them were also shocked when they saw the island from the window of the plane just now, and after getting off the plane, they hurriedly looked around.
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, and said, "Mother Zhang, Sister-in-law Li, do you want to live here for a long time in the future?"
"That'...... Is there a Yangge dancing here?"
After Sister-in-law Li heard Zhuang Rui's words, she thought about it very seriously, she was much younger than Zhang's mother and Zhuang's mother, and she liked to go to the park to dance with a group of old men and old ladies to twist Yangge.
"Haha, not now, there will be ...... later"
Zhuang Rui laughed, his island was much larger than the islands purchased by the surrounding Hollywood stars, even if it was not in the primeval forest area, it could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people.
However, for environmental protection and other considerations, Zhuang Rui only allows one hundred and eighty people to live on the island at most, and any more will affect the surrounding ecological environment, which is not what Zhuang Rui wants to see.
The two little guys who had been on the plane for a day squeezed out from Zhuang Rui and stumbled across the airport, with excited expressions on their faces.
"Oh, oh, Dad, it's so beautiful here, I really want Xiaobai to be here......"
After the two little guys ran around like crazy, they hugged Zhuang Rui's thighs one left and one right, and the little white in their mouths was naturally the white lion.
"Dad also thinks that next time I will definitely bring the white lion, and we will come to the island to live for a few months every year in the future......"
Because there were too many people coming this time, there was not enough space in the cabin, and the white lion didn't like to take the boat very much, so Zhuang Rui could only leave the two at home.
Seeing that Peng Fei and Hao Long, who were the last to get off the plane, also had a look of longing in their eyes, Zhuang Rui laughed and asked, "Peng Fei, let Zhang Qian come with me next time, Hao Long, and a few of you, do you want to live here for a long time?"
"Of course I want to, I don't care, Brother Zhuang, you must leave me a house......" Peng Fei and Zhuang Rui are lifelong friends, so they naturally have no worries when they speak.
"Brother Zhuang, I want to too, but I don't know if my daughter-in-law is willing?"
Hao Long smiled honestly, he got married last year, and his daughter-in-law was five or six years younger than him, and now she was also arranged by Zhuang Rui to work in "Qin Ruilin".
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to, I have left a house for you here, and you can go on vacation later......"
Zhuang Rui glanced at the other envious security guards and said: "If you are willing to stay and work here, the salary is five times higher than that in China, and you can choose to return to China or stay here to continue to work after three years, if you work for ten years, there will be a set of private property that belongs to you here."
Well, if they get married during this period, their wives can also come over, and they will be paid three times their original salary......"
For such a private island, Zhuang Rui naturally has to arrange trustworthy security guards, these people are Hao Long's comrades-in-arms, and they have followed Zhuang Rui for more than two years, so they can be regarded as Zhuang Rui's old team.
However, although the scenery of this place is beautiful, young people may not be able to calm down and live here, so Zhuang Rui gave very generous conditions.
"Boss, I'm willing to stay......"
"I want too, it's so beautiful here......"
"I ...... I'm going to go back and talk to my daughter-in-law to see if she's willing to ......."
Several people's answers are not exactly the same, as Zhuang Rui thought, like such a beautiful place, it is good to come to travel and vacation, but if you want to live for a long time, it is a little boring.
Zhuang Rui nodded and said, "It's okay, you think about it carefully, this place is not far from the United States and Cuba, and you can take a helicopter out of the city when you rest in the future......"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the security guard who was still hesitating was also a little moved, but it seemed that like Hao Long, he should be a master who was afraid of his daughter-in-law, so he didn't nod for a long time.
"Boss, we're going to come here for a vacation too......"
The flight attendants and pilots on Zhuang Rui's private jet also joined in the excitement, Zhuang Rui's island, even if it is not much better than the resort Maldives, no one can resist the beautiful scenery here.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance once a year......" Zhuang Rui nodded indifferently, he had promised the crew two travel opportunities a year.
"Zhuang Rui, brother and sister, Xiao Peng, heh, they're all here......"
When Zhuang Rui and the others were standing under the plane chatting, two five-row three-seater battery cars drove over slowly, and before the car was stable, Hu Rong jumped off from it.
"Brother Hu, it's really hard for you......" Zhuang Rui hurriedly greeted him.
Hu Rong smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's not hard, I'm about to be a neighbor with you, let's go, get in the car, I'll take you to visit......"
After Zhuang Rui and his party got into the car, the battery car drove out of the airport and drove along the road paved with white sand.
"Zhuang Rui, all the energy supply on this island is all solar, and the power generation and water supply system will not destroy the original ecological ...... of the island."
The battery car drove slowly, and Hu Rong gave Zhuang Rui a word to introduce the island and the surrounding situation.
On the north side of this island is the private island of the famous pirate movie star Johnny Depp, I wonder if he was influenced by the Pirates of the Caribbean movie and really wanted to be a pirate addict?
To the south is the island of movie star Leonardo DiCaprio, which covers an area of just over 600 acres and Zhuang Rui's is unusually shabby.
When Hu Rong was building this island, many Hollywood movie stars and financial tycoons came to contact Hu Rong and wanted to buy this private island at a high price, and the highest one even offered 800 million US dollars, far higher than the price of the island itself.
According to Hu Rong, at the other end of the island, there is also a submarine cave more than 100 meters deep, which is covered with various bell stones, which is the best choice for exploring the secrets.
All this has made Zhuang Rui's island a well-known island king, and the mysterious owner has also become the object that those movie stars and tycoons want to know, maybe after Zhuang Rui moves in, it is estimated that he will often be visited by neighbors.
"That's the port, it's enough for your Xuanrui to dock, let's go to the beach over there, I've compared several private islands, and none of the islands have a beach like this one......"
As Hu Rong spoke, he drove the battery car to a road by the beach, and the glittering sand and blue water suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
At this time, it was nearly dusk, and the sun was about to set, rendering the originally snow-white sand beach into a piece of gold, and the beautiful scenery made the group shocked.
The size of the island is so large that it is only half developed, and after Hu Rong and his people took a tour of the seaside, they returned to the villa area on the other side of the airport.
These villas are entirely in the style of ancient Chinese architecture, with a maximum of two storeys and surrounded by tall palm trees, but they are not obtrusive at all.
In addition to the six detached villas, there are also a number of seemingly scattered buildings around the villas, but in fact they fit in with the surrounding environment.
Seeing these houses on the other side of the ocean far from China seems to be in China, which makes Zhuang Rui very satisfied, and living here can also alleviate some homesickness.
