Chapter 2: Building a semiconductor production line on the island

An hour later, Hu Jiangshan and Kevin met.

Kevin looks quite decent in a suit.

"Sir Hu, would you like to eat something?"

Hu Jiangshan shook his head: "No, let's go directly. Is that place far?"

"Not far. Places that are too far away have inconvenient transportation, and you won't be satisfied."

Kevin drove Hu Jiangshan to a small fishing village.

This fishing village is called Yazui Village. It is not big and very simple, with only a small pier.

Kevin found a motor boat and went out to sea with Hu Jiangshan.

There are many outlying islands near Hong Kong Island, more than hundreds of them, large and small, and countless deserted islands. However, there are not many that are really real. Most of them are very small, no different from a reef.

Kevin said that the island he found was different. Although it was a deserted island, its quality was top-notch.

Hu Jiangshan remained noncommittal. He could only believe half of Kevin's words. He had to see it for himself to know whether it was good or not.

After the fishing boat had been sailing on the sea for half an hour, an island appeared in the distance.

Kevin said, "Sir Hu, that's the island."

It’s true, the island doesn’t look small. It should be a medium-sized island, and there is a lighthouse on it.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "Why is there a lighthouse? Isn't this a deserted island?"

Kevin said, "Sir Hu, that lighthouse has been out of use for a long time."

“Were there people on the island before?”

"Yes, this island was inhabited before, but no one has lived there since then. It has been deserted for decades."

Hu Jiangshan felt strange and asked, "Why is there no one living on the island? What's the problem?"

"This..." Kevin hesitated.

"Just tell me what you have to say. I don't want there to be anything I don't know."

Kevin quickly said, "It's like this, Sir Hu, during World War II, the Japanese army was stationed on this island."

Hu Jiangshan understood immediately. He looked at Kevin and asked, "Were all the people on the island killed?"

Kevin nodded.

Wow, it turns out to be a ghost island, no wonder it has been deserted for so many years.

The people of Hong Kong Island are most taboo about this kind of thing. Even if someone is interested in this island, they will definitely give up once they hear that a large number of killings have occurred on the island.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "What is the name of this island?"

Kevin replied, "General Island."

Hu Jiangshan was stunned for a moment.

This is a good name, quite domineering.

A moment later, the motor boat came to shore.

There is also a pier on the island, but it is already dilapidated. Half of the wood on the pier has fallen off, and it can barely accommodate a small boat.

However, Hu Jiangshan paid special attention to the fact that the sea water near the dock was relatively deep, and if it was renovated, it should be possible to accommodate large ships.

It makes sense. The army of Xiaoshi was stationed here before, so the draft conditions of the dock must be good.

After the two men landed on the island, Kevin began to explain to Hu Jiangshan.

Kevin is a very good talker, he speaks fluently and eloquently.

"Sir Hu, this is not an island. Look, it stretches as far as the eye can see."

"What's more important? The island is very flat, with only a small part of the reef. There is a small forest in the middle of the island, and there are mangroves on the opposite shore."

"Sir Hu, look over there, there is a small hill, but it's not very high, and the overall terrain is quite flat."

While listening to Kevin's chatter, Hu Jiangshan observed the surrounding environment.

The natural environment on the island looks really good, and it is a real habitable island.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "Is there fresh water on the island?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know about this, but there must be someone living here before."

Hu Jiangshan is not that naive.

Some inhabited islands do not have any fresh water resources, and domestic water needs to be transported from land or other islands.

As they were talking, they came to the foot of the mountain.

Hu Jiangshan saw a hole and vaguely saw a door inside, but the door panel was broken and half of it fell down.

"What is that place?"

Kevin immediately said, "Oh, Sir Hu, that's a warehouse." "Warehouse? What's that for?"

Kevin swallowed his saliva and said, "It should be...a place where I put my daily things."

So that's how it is. The military warehouses used for daily life might store munitions, food rations and other military supplies.

Hu Jiangshan walked to the entrance of the cave and looked inside.

It was pitch black, and I could see the wires, but there was no electricity.

Although I can't see the space inside clearly, it should not be small.

There should be about one thousand square meters.

Hu Jiangshan said: "This place is nice."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Kevin smiled awkwardly and took two steps back.

Judging from Kevin's expression, he didn't want to go into the cave.

Come to think of it, something bad might have happened in such a cave warehouse.

"Is the cave very big inside?"

Kevin said hurriedly, "It's huge. Really huge. It must be at least hundreds of thousands of feet."

Ten thousand square feet is roughly equivalent to one thousand square meters in the mainland.

More than 100,000 square feet, that’s more than 10,000 square meters.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "How much does this island cost?"

"Very cheap, 10 million Hong Kong dollars, for permanent use rights."

Ten million, and another ten million.

Hu Jiangshan glanced at Kevin.

Kevin quickly added, "Mr. Hu, it seems that there is still a discount, but I don't know how much the discount will be. If you want to, I will ask in detail."

To be honest, buying this island for 10 million Hong Kong dollars is really cheap, it can even be said to be a bargain.

There is a reason why it is so cheap.

As mentioned earlier, people have died on this island, and it was definitely not just one or two people.

Especially in this dark cave, there might be a lot of corpses inside.

But Hu Jiangshan doesn't care. He is a scientist and only believes in science, not ghosts and gods.

Hu Jiangshan immediately made the decision and bought it.

Kevin smiled happily and quickly said that he would help Hu Jiangshan inquire about the detailed terms of the island purchase.

"Mr. Hu, please prepare the money first. I will go to the Hong Kong government tomorrow to inquire about the terms and conditions. If everything goes well, we can go through the formalities."

Hu Jiangshan nodded and agreed.

The next day, Hu Jiangshan went to the Hong Kong Island Bank to apply for a loan.

As Hu Jiangshan expected, as soon as he revealed his identity, the bank took him seriously and received him as a senior loan manager.

The loan manager's name is Fan Luosheng and he looks extremely professional.

Fan Luosheng asked: "Mr. Hu, how much do you want to borrow?"

Hu Jiangshan said calmly: "30 million."

Ten million to purchase the island, ten million to build the semiconductor production line, and the remaining ten million as operating funds. This is a very reasonable arrangement.

Fan Luosheng asked again: "What do you want to do with this money?"

"Entrepreneurship."

Fan Luosheng nodded and looked at Hu Jiangshan: "Then the guarantor..."

"My guarantor is my grandfather Hu Yingxiang."

Hu Jiangshan was calm and composed.

Fan Luosheng really didn't ask any more questions.

With Hu Yingxiang's reputation, a loan of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is just a drop in the bucket!

Only two hours later, Hu Jiangshan received 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

This bank is really efficient.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan was also under a lot of pressure, as the interest rate of this loan was not low.
