Chapter 1511: Title News
The inhabitants of Nihau Island hate to use modern things, including diesel-powered and gasoline-powered boats, and they hardly leave the island on a regular basis, so when they go out to fish, they rely on manpower.
Where Han Xuan and the others are at the moment is a fishing boat.
Some of the small fish in the cabin have turned into dried fish, which have been exposed to the sun for a few days, giving off a stinky fishy smell, the smell is not too strong, and it feels acceptable.
Chubby liked the smell very strangely, and his face was full of expressions of enjoyment, and he really couldn't understand what his fetish was, so he asked his owner to hold him, and then put his paws into the water and shook it.
Wet his short legs, sticking out his tongue and licking his paws, salted by the sea, his whole big face wrinkled into a ball, disgusted to spit, and then squatted on the plank, watching Owen sweat profusely paddling the oars.
Owen wiped the beads of sweat from his head and complained, "Little boss, it's been more than twenty minutes, how far is it?" Now we are going against the direction of the flow of the sea, and it is really difficult to row. β
Han Xuan got his body wet, so that even if he was wearing a diving suit, it would not be too hot, he found that he was so stupid, in fact, he could wear it after arriving at the destination, leaned back against the side of the boat, looked at Owen, and said lazily:
"With so much salary given to you every month, plus dividends at the end of the year, do you feel tired after rowing for so long? Why don't you say you're tired when you're eating? White with such thick arms? β
A few words blocked Owen's following, these bodyguards are usually very happy, although there may be danger during work, but in fact, the number of times they have encountered danger over the years is only a handful.
While getting something, it also means giving something, and the wealth that Han Xuan brought to them can far make some people throw their lives, so Owen doesn't know how to refute it, he is very reasonable.
He lowered his head and continued to row hard, the oars reached into the water and plucked back, the fishing boat pushed the waves forward, and he said, "Okay, my fault, I rowed, I don't speak......"
Familiar enough to make such a joke, Han Xuan scolded a few words again, and then admired his Niihau Island from the sea, the island area is very large, about the size of three Seralvo Islands.
Perhaps only the strange governor of Hawaii would think that he could take back such a large island for 300,000 US dollars, Han Xuan spent more than 70 million US dollars to buy it the year before last, which is really not expensive, if he forcibly develops this island into a tourist island, it is estimated that it will not be used in two or three years, and he will be able to recover the money invested when he bought the island.
With more than 6.5 million people visiting Hawaii last year, Niihau is a large island that will continue to generate profits once it opens, and the vast majority of them are Americans, who are the most willing to spend money during their trips, so they are loved by people from all over the world.
The premise is to convince the more than 300 residents of the island, at least half of them agree, otherwise the state government will have a hard time, but it is only more than 300 people, and even a train is not enough.
Han Xuan already has dozens of islands under his name, and he doesn't plan to open up this rare paradise in the world, otherwise there is no reason for Niihau Island to escape, and these powerless residents can only make a small splash of public opinion in society, and even his shoes can't get wet.
At this time, the local indigenous old man said: "The bottom of the sea is very beautiful nearby, and I often come here when I catch fish." β
Hearing this, he put his head into the sea, Han Xuan took a general look, the primitive underwater landscape was particularly beautiful, and the colorful colors caught his eyes, and he sat back on the boat again, wiped the water droplets on his hair, and told in the indigenous language: "It's right here." β
Changed to English again, he continued: "Stop, don't row, we're diving around here." β
You can see a few other people's wooden boats around, and look at the professional diving and photography equipment on those people, they are definitely not locals.
Now is the peak season for tourists to Hawaii, since Han Xuan announced the rule of receiving 1,000 people a year, even if the ticket price is set so high, there are still many rich people who are not short of money to visit Nihau Island.
Recently, there were about 70 tourists staying on this island, and now it is only August, and most of the 1,000 places have been used, bringing a lot of income to Han Xuan......
The water was not deep, and when the boat was stopped, Han Xuan jumped from the bow of the boat first and plunged under the seabed.
He has his own little secret, even if he doesn't hold his breath, he doesn't feel short of breath, he swims a distance at the bottom of the sea, sees many anemones and fish of all colors, calculates that the time is almost up, and floats to the surface of the sea and gasps for breath.
Han Xuan suffers from deep-sea phobia, if it is night, he will not go to the sea if he is killed, the sea water is crystal clear during the day, and the water is not too deep, so he almost didn't feel it, he also snorkeled in the Maldives.
Anya was wearing diving goggles and a breathing apparatus on her head, she smiled when she saw Han Xuan, and she also jumped into the water, swimming often, and her snorkeling skills were good.
From the surface of the sea to the bottom of the sea, there is a distance of about ten meters, and you can see the underwater scene when you float on the sea, but it is not clear, and there is no way to get close to those harmless small fish, Han Xuan dived into the sea two or three times and swam back to the boat.
Sitting on the side of the boat, he said to Gabriel, "Bring me the oxygen cylinder, and the fins."
This time I was going to stay at the bottom of the sea for a longer time, so I found some sea cucumbers, caught them for dinner, and brought me a net bag. β
Han Xuan chose to live with the local residents on the west side of the island, and the resort area on the east side of the island has a diving shop, a more modern house, and a full range of power generation equipment and electrical appliances, but he felt that living there became no different from other islands, so he went to the west to experience the most authentic Niijau Island.
The diving equipment was already prepared in advance, and Gabriel knew how to put it on, and after helping to get it ready, he asked the little boss to try it.
Then, Han Xuan faced the cabin, leaned back, and fell into the sea.
At this moment, a dark shadow scurried past him, startled him, and stared at the thing, only to realize that it was a sealβa Hawaiian monk seal.
It is the only seal that lives in the tropics all year round, and because of its short coat, round head, and bald head, it was given this strange Chinese name, and they are a critically endangered species that may become extinct, and they are particularly famous in Hawaii, and the government has specially legislated to protect them.
The monk seal in front of Han Xuan's eyes, about one meter and two in length, is not yet an adult, they like to be alone, there are no companions around, they are staring at him with big eyes, and they found that Han Xuan swam towards him, and he didn't dodge.
It was very inconvenient to carry an oxygen cylinder behind him, and when he came to this stupid seal, he just stretched out his hand and leaned his head over and stuck it on Han Xuan's hand.
Not far away, Anya saw this scene and was about to come over to join in the fun and touch it, but the monk seal immediately ran away vigilantly, caught an unknown fish on the way, bit it in its mouth and left happily.
She was obviously disgusted by this seal, and her heart was broken at the moment......
