Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 312: Good Advice
Tang Xiu himself was not interested in sports cars and wanted to instinctively reject them. However a dull sound came from his phone as he then forced a wry smile on his handsome face.
The affection of this family was as if a blazing flame was melting a block of ice in Tang Xiu's heart.
Just as distance tests a horse's stamina, so does time reveal a man's heart. Not only did Tangs not seem indifferent, exclude and distance themselves from her, they instead showed their family affection and cared for her again and again.
The sun rose and set as three days passed in an instant. When Tang Xiu left with Long Zhengyu, Tom Reggie, and their assistants to the Island of the Nine Dragons, both of them were instantly attracted to the grand palace as well as the stunning surroundings.
“Great place!” Long Zhengyu took a deep breath, felt comfort all over his body, and could not hold his breath in praise, “As I grow older, I will definitely spend my retirement here.”
Tang Xiu smiled faintly and did not respond. This place was the most important cultivation ground for him, which would become his base for training talent. How could he let an outsider retire here? Although he was friends with Long Zhengyu, it was because of his capital that made Long Zhengyu consider him more special. Otherwise, how could he and Long Zhengyu be friends to begin with?
Nowadays, friends are just friends, while trusted servants are the only people who can be trusted. They should be treated separately. For true friends, he could pay a fortune to help them, but he would fight for a trusted confidant regardless of anything and regard the matter as his own.
“Come go! I'll take you upstairs to see it. ”
Standing in the Spirit Spring, Tang Xiu could feel the fluctuations of the spiritual power of the ground as he said with a smile.
Immediately, a group of people arrived at the square in front of the castle. Two hard-coated men appeared and quickly retreated after saluting Tang Xiu as Mo Awu walked out of the castle.
“You're back, Boss.”
“They are my friends and will stay here for two days. You have to arrange their accommodation. “Tang Xiu nodded in response and said,” Also, what is Yi Lianyan doing now? Tell him to bring some people to the cruiser as we have also brought plenty of groceries and daily necessities, enough for everyone to use for some time. ”
Mo Awu nodded and led the crowd to the castle. Upon seeing it, Long Zhengyu and Tom Reggie gasped for air.
“I also want to buy an island if I am rich,” Long Zhengyu said with a sour expression.
Taking a deep breath, Tom Reggie sighed with emotion, “The value of this island is definitely not small. Even though I have money on hand, buying this kind of island and rebuilding such a castle will definitely clear me of all my capital; maybe it won't even be enough. Otherwise, I'd like to buy it too. ”
“Yeah, I was lucky because I only spent 2.5 billion for this island,” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
“Only?”
Long Zhengyu and Tom Reggie exchanged glances, shook their heads, and forced wry smiles. They knew very well that Tang Xiu was wealthy, but never thought that the 2.5 billion in his eyes was just a small amount of money.
However, given his investment of 20 billion to reconstruct the island, it caused the duo to become disappointed. For them, let alone 20 billion, even 2 billion would bankrupt them! The Long Family might be rich, but it was not solely Long Zhengyu, whereas the wealth of Tom Reggie did not reach 2 billion.
“Comparison of unclean!”
Long Zhengyu let out a sentence with a groan before he turned to look at Tang Xiu and said, “Don't take a break first, take us around the island! We will spend the night here and return soon tomorrow to finish the prep work. We have to finish as much preparatory work as possible in these two months so that we can officially start investing in reconstruction. ”
“I have marked some points in the red label in the reconstruction image design; these places cannot be changed. I will also send some people to guard these places at that time. Even the workers on the island were not allowed to enter. As for the rest of the island, try not to damage the trees on the island too much. In the reconstruction period later I will ask you to transplant many precious trees from other places here, ” Tang Xiu said with a nod.
“Confirm!” Long Zhengyu nodded.
As dusk came, Tang Xiu brought everyone to Spirit Spring on the shoreline. Long Zhengyu looked surprised when he saw the three ships anchored in the bank, whereas Tom Reggie looked dazed and exclaimed in shock as he looked at the outdated battleship among the three ships, “Mr. Tang, why do you have a warship here? Looking at the degree of exhaustion, this old warship could still be used. ”
“When we came here to receive the island a few days ago, a group of pirates had occupied the island. So the people of Me and I must kill those pirates and reclaim this place. Three ships are our spoils, ” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
“Pirate? There were indeed some pirates in the nearby waters, but they were extremely powerful, even the Japanese and US governments had tried to jointly encircle and exterminate them several times, yet they failed to do so. Certain pirate groups even evolved to more than 200 members within a dozen years. They were really hegemon of this sea region with sufficient firepower. By the way, Mr Tang, which pirate group have you destroyed? ”
“What?”
With a huge change on his face, Tom Reggie exclaimed in astonishment, “You actually destroyed the Bloodfish Pirates? It was the largest pirate group in this sea region! Good Lord! That Duffsky was a notorious and merciless pirate leader and also insane. But second leader — Ingelund is more ruthless and more ruthless than he is. I fought Ingelund in the African rainforest when he was an elite soldier of the U. S. Marine Corps at the time. ”
“Hah?” Tang Xiu was surprised and asked, “You are very familiar with them?”
Killing intent emerged from Tom Reggie's eyes as he nodded, “Unfamiliar, I hate and hate them the most. Duffsky killed the woman I liked the most. He had followed me for years during my fugitive years, but the bullet hole in my chest was left by Ingelund. Half a centimeter more and it has touched my heart. ”
“They're all dead. We kidnapped Duffsky, but then Ingelund shot and killed him, while I killed him myself, “ Tang Xiu said slowly with a nod.
While bowing deeply to Tang Xiu, Tom Reggie then said, “Mr. Tang, you have killed them, it could be considered helping my revenge. Count it because Tom owes you a favor. I decided to help you reconstruct this island for free. I'm not gonna take your money from that. ”
“No,” shook his head in response, Tang Xiu smiled, “Besides personal friends, we are business partners, and we should get the money we should have earned. Moreover, although this place was a bit far from Saipan, it was also the closest one. If my people are on their way to Saipan and need your help later, don't turn them down. ”
Tom Reggie nodded, “Don't worry. You are not only Boss Mo Awen but also a friend. With such help, you can freely call upon Me if you need anything later. ”
Tom Xiu showed a faint smile and looked at Long Zhengyu who was daydreaming, saying, “Do you think it is wrong for us to slaughter them?”
Refusing a wry smile, Long Zhengyu said, “I don't know what it's like to kill people, to be honest! I grew up under a red flag and lived in the middle of the modernization process. [1] At best, I am usually a rebel, a rich man's son's silk trousers who raised some arrogant criminals. Unlike you, I feel like a flower inside the greenhouse. ”
Excited after hearing that the Bloodfish Pirates had been destroyed, Tom Reggie made fun of his comment with a smile, “Being a flower in a greenhouse feels too feminine. To me, I think a man is like a little baby if he has not experienced the darkness of the world or has not gone through a bloody and cruel battle. ”
Little baby?
Touching his nose, Long Zhengyu looked somewhat awkward and helpless.
Tang Xiu chuckled and smiled as he directly changed the subject. He pointed to the nearest sea and said, “Tell me, how much would it cost if I wanted to build an apron on the beach and a runway to land the plane?”
Shaking his head, Long Zhengyu replied, “I can't answer it because I haven't done such a project.”
Tom Reggie stroked his chin as a light glittered in his eyes. After half a minute, he slowly said, “If we use steel construction materials to build the airport runway which is hundreds of meters from the beach as well as a large apron, the airport is located on the ground, I'm afraid we need to raise a few billion from the original estimate. My first estimate should be more than 3 billion; a greater part of the cost would be the wages of workers. ”
Tang Xiu paused for a moment and then slowly said, “The reconstruction of the entire Nine Dragons Island will happen first! Once completed, we will discuss building the apron and runway again. ”
Tom Reggie shaking his head, “Mr. Tang, I actually want to say that it is best to build the apron and the runway first. ”
“How can that be?” Tang Xiu asked, puzzled.
“Once the reconstruction begins, the amount of building materials that need to be shipped will likely be huge. If it had to be delivered by sea freight alone, the cost of shipping per trip would be huge, and it would take a long time. But if we use air transportation, we can speed up the delivery of materials and reduce the shipping cost, ” said Tom Reggie.
Tang Xiu was stunned as he clapped his hands and said, “You're right, Mr. Tom. Air transport is better than sea transport. If we sail from Saipan, will it take a few hours to get here? We can shuttle several times a day by plane and the speed of delivery will definitely be much faster than using sea transport. ”
Quickly, Tang Xiu turned towards Mo Awen and asked, “Do you have the means to order some cargo planes? The kind of good quality cargo plane that can deliver reinforced concrete? ”
“Holy Aviation Technology Company Paramita is engaged in the business of aircraft and cargo planes and coincidentally I have contact with Blayne Dunn — company vice president,” Mo Awen said.
“How much does it cost about?” Ask Tang Xiu.
“I don't know,” Mo Awen shook his head. “I haven't bought a cargo plane before. How about I call Blayne Dunn? ”
