The sunset over Waikiki Beach is spectacular, and countless visitors have taken pictures of the scenery with their cameras and made memories of it.

In the eyes of Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, the most beautiful scenery is not the gorgeous sunset on the sea, but a pair of gray-haired old people holding hands on the beach.

It has been almost seven years since the two got married, and there is no so-called 'seven-year itch' between them, but because of the precipitation of time, it has become more romantic. In the absence of any conflict in life, hobbies and finances, the relationship between two people has become more and more like a family, and their views on feelings are getting closer and closer, and they yearn for the prosaic and deep like water.

Amidst the picturesque sunset, Xiao Feng and his family spent their first evening on Oahu, and more joy awaited them.

…………

Early the next morning, Xiao Feng, who was used to getting up early to exercise, got up before six o'clock and jogged along the part of the Four Seasons Hotel on Waikiki Beach to move his body.

Many morning joggers also recognized Xiao Feng, but the guests staying at the Four Seasons Hotel were either rich or expensive, and they would not rush to Xiao Feng to take photos and sign autographs like ordinary fans, which made Xiao Feng happy and a little disappointed.

Rao is Xiao Feng is indifferent to fame and fortune, but the differential treatment he received before and after retirement still makes him a little disappointed, and he misses the grand occasion when he was called for.

At this time, Xiao Feng was finally able to understand why many cultural and sports superstars chose to make various comebacks or attend various public activities to brush up their sense of existence after retiring, and they were probably still unwilling to be lonely.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng is not deeply poisoned, and he can quickly adapt to the cold life after retiring, besides, his identity is destined to be the target of the media forever, and there will be no snub in front of the door.

After a run around and back, the kids and the old people are ready to take a stroll around Oahu today, there is so much to do.

Foster Botanical Gardens, Liliu Kurani Botanical Gardens, Waikiki Aquarium, and Zoo Hawaii are some of the best places to visit for curious kids.

The old people want to go to the former site of the Xingzhonghui to see the scene of the early days of the Father of the Nation Revolution and remember what this revolutionary martyr did for the Chinese nation.

…………

In order to determine the goal of purchasing islands as soon as possible, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao had to suffer a little in the past two days and went to 4 target islands for field investigations.

Worried about the impact of the journey on the elderly and children, Xiao Feng left them on Oahu, anyway, there are so many life assistants and security personnel, but there is no need to worry about them.

For the sake of efficiency, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao were divided into groups to check the two islands, while Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi went to the other two islands, and then communicated after returning home in the evening.

Xiao Feng's first destination was Naru Island, 100 nautical miles from Oahu, a small archipelago of volcanic islands and coral reefs with a total area of 50 square kilometers, far from the three major islands, which is not small among the more than 1,000 islands in Hawaii.

This volcanic and coral reef island has been around for more than a million years, and today it has more than 80% vegetation cover and a small ecosystem cycle.

However, because it is so far from Oahu, the island is still very undeveloped, and few tourists visit the island except for a small number of indigenous people.

100 nautical miles is an awkward distance, the ferry takes about five hours to travel, and the opening of air routes is too wasteful, so Naru Island has been in an awkward situation.

From the perspective of development prospects, this pristine island, which has not yet been touched by modern industry and tourism services, has better development space, after all, it has a vast development area, good natural conditions and beautiful environment.

Of course, the disadvantages of Naru Island are obvious, the large distance from Oahu, the poor infrastructure and the lack of visibility from the outside world make it difficult for it to be profitable in a short period of time, and even need to invest huge amounts of money in renovation, construction and operation to it.

The current owner of Naru Island is a real estate company in the United States, and they originally wanted to use this island to develop high-end resort hotels and enter the high-end tourism industry, but they never thought that the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in 08 would collapse the company's capital chain, making the development plan of Naru Island far away.

Over the past 10 years, the company has been looking for a partner to develop Naru Island, but it has been put on hold due to the huge amount of investment and uncertain prospects.

In an effort to recoup its costs, Naru Island was put on the list for sale, but for several years it was left unattended, with a selling price of more than $100 million and restrictions on the island's development deterring interested businesses and the super-rich.

For anyone, the $100 million selling price of Naru Island and the need to invest more than $500 million in the future to build the island into a tourist attraction that can be officially opened to the public is full of huge risks in itself.

In addition, the island is home to 300 Native Hawaiians who live in a protected area of the island, a factor that must be taken into account by the island's owners when developing Naru Island.

In this way, although the advantages of Naru Island are quite obvious, all investors are quite cautious, and Naru Island has been on the list for sale for nearly ten years without moving, and even many people give up after field trips.

Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao set off on a small seaplane at the seaplane on Oahu, accompanied by the necessary security personnel and financial personnel, as well as the agent Charlie.

In Hawaii, small propeller seaplanes are very popular, after all, this kind of aircraft has quite low requirements for airports, which can greatly improve traffic efficiency, and is very suitable for Hawaii.

Half an hour later, the plane arrived over Naru Island, and Xiao Feng motioned for the pilot to fly around Naru Island twice, so that he could have a good view of the island.

Naru Island presents an irregular oval shape, showing a north-south trend, the north belongs to the highest point of the island, an extinct volcano with an altitude of 600 meters is quite conspicuous, from north to south the terrain gradually flattens, forming a small plain with an area of 20 square kilometers in the central area of the island, and the vegetation is unusually lush.

On all sides of the island, the white sand beach surrounds Naru Island like a white pearl necklace, which is amazing.

According to the data provided by Charlie, the beaches around Naru Island are of fairly high quality white sand, not inferior to Waikiki Beach, and because Naru Volcano blocks the strong winds from the north, the waters around Naru Island are relatively small, which is very suitable for all kinds of beach leisure activities.

In addition, within 2 nautical miles of Naru Island, there are a large number of coral reefs that provide a good habitat for marine life.

In terms of natural conditions, Naru Island is not inferior to any prestigious island, but due to historical reasons and location problems, it has been in an undeveloped state.

During the airplane patrol stage, the sharp-eyed Xiao Feng even saw that there were small animals on the island, including hares and roe deer, and the volcanic lake formed by Naru Volcano also provided sufficient fresh water for the entire island.

After walking around twice, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao were quite satisfied with the basic situation of Nalu Island, and the two of them nodded quietly, but they were expressionless in front of Charlie and did not say anything.

Both of them are not rookies in the shopping mall, so they naturally know some skills in business negotiation, and bargaining always requires some patience.

When the plane landed near the humble pier near Naru Island, the crystal spray and the almost visible layer of sand on the bottom of the sea made Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao like it almost instantly.

For Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, the $100 million to buy the island is nothing, and the follow-up investment of nearly $1 billion will not be a problem, the key is that it should be worth it here!

From the current point of view, the natural conditions of Naru Island are quite excellent, coupled with the fact that it is large enough to withstand a considerable investment and can accommodate a sufficient number of tourists, the future prospects of investment are not bad.

Judging from Xiao Feng's experience in developing the 'Mirror Lake Scenic Area' and the 'Dream Scenic Area', once the existing conditions of Nalu Island are used to develop some unique tourism projects, someone will definitely pay for it.

For the development of scenic spots, Xiao Feng has long been familiar with the way, whether it is beautiful scenery, food, special tourism projects or pet charm, they are all very slippery.

Therefore, Nalu Island, an island with sufficient area, sufficient fresh water, and superior natural conditions in the surrounding seas, is like a cornucopia in Xiao Feng's eyes, and its development 'money scene' is naturally beyond doubt.

Aside from the financial advantage, Xiao Feng and 'Jinghu Group' have a greater advantage over other investors because of the huge source of tourists that Brilliant Travel Group has and the growing outbound travel market in China.

Under the guidance of Charlie and others, representatives of the indigenous people living on Nalu Island led Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao around the offshore area, giving Xiao Feng a clearer understanding of this island with a large number of coconut groves.

The indigenous people living on Naru Island rely on fishing for their livelihood, and their life is traditional and hard, and many young people have gone to Oahu and other large islands to work, leaving only a few old and sick people on Naru Island.

The locals are also quite eager for the development of Naru Island to change their lives and fate, but the current situation of thunder and rain in the past 10 years has also made them a little numb.

If it weren't for the $100,000 a year that the real estate company offered, the indigenous people would not have had any interest in providing guidance services to buyers who came to the island.

After enjoying an authentic seafood feast with the indigenous tribes, Xiao Feng and his party left Waru Island by seaplane and continued to the next target island.

In fact, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao have decided to buy Nalu Island, although the price tag of up to $150 million is a bit surprisingly high, but it still has great room for appreciation. The 50-square-kilometer island is just over 10,000 acres in size, which translates to more than $10,000 per acre, less than a third of the price of even Montana's best ranch.

Of course, buying Nalu Island also means that the 10 nautical miles of the coastline of Nalu Island will also belong to Xiao Feng, which is a vast sea area of more than 30,000 square nautical miles, in fact, this is the most attractive place for Xiao Feng.

However, in order to avoid leaking the hole cards before the negotiation, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao still visited the next target island with great interest, and made some obscure performances that they were very interested in, which also made Charlie confused.

After returning to Oahu, Xiao Feng and Xiao Qiang and others met and discussed, and unanimously decided to set the number one target as Nalu Island, and let Ma Xiaotian lead the negotiation team to start negotiations with real estate agents and owners.

Xiao Feng set a bottom line of $130 million for Ma Xiaotian, after all, the other party couldn't bear the huge financial pressure and urgently needed to recover the funds.

Subsequently, Xiao Feng didn't care much about specific negotiation matters, after all, Ma Xiaotian and his team have experienced a lot of M&A negotiations over the years, and they have enough experience and ability.

As the saying goes, 'no suspicion is used to use people', Ma Xiaotian has won Xiao Feng's complete trust with his performance in the past few years.

When Ma Xiaotian was engaged in tense negotiations, Xiao Feng took his family to play around the islands of Hawaii, and even rented a small yacht to fish, dive and so on in the nearby waters, completely putting on a relaxed vacation posture.

In order to avoid unnecessary associations with the outside world, Xiao Feng and his family did not approach the sea area around the four target islands at all, which was also the true intention of making Xiao Feng and the 'Jinghu Group' unpredictable to the negotiation opponents.

A week later, news came from Oahu that Xiao Feng had purchased all the property rights to Naru Island from an American real estate company, thus becoming the sole owner of the 50-square-kilometer island. The final transaction price was $128 million, a rather auspicious figure for the Chinese, and the news also shook the global financial community.

Against the backdrop of the global private island trading market, Xiao Feng spent a huge amount of money to buy a chicken-ribbed island, a move that was widely discussed and analyzed by financial professionals.

Some people believe that Xiao Feng's invincible investment strategy will end in the Nalu Island project, after all, Nalu Island is not suitable for the organic farming industry that Xiao Feng is best at, and perhaps Xiao Feng simply wants to use Nalu Island as a vacation place for the Xiao family.

Of course, the near-miraculous investment results since Xiao Feng's entrepreneurship also make the outside world quite optimistic about the future of Nalu Island, and many financial reporters who are full of confidence in Xiao Feng believe that Nalu Island will become a new pearl of the huge industry of 'Jinghu Group'.

Anyway, after Nalu Island arrived, a stone in Xiao Feng's heart finally fell, and he seemed to have regained his enthusiasm for entrepreneurship after finding a new toy!

After the 'Jinghu Group' got on the right track, Xiao Feng was somewhat tired of corporate management and operation, which was one of the reasons why he went to play in the NBA.

Now, Naru Island has successfully aroused Xiao Feng's idea of doing a big job, and maybe in the next few years, he will be entangled with this beautiful island! (To be continued.) )
