Chapter 3 No Big Deal

March was uneventful.

So was April.

Nan Gongtian originally wanted Jiang Yu to make a cameo in the movie, but Jiang Yu's expression turned unnatural whenever she saw the camera, so she ultimately gave up on her own initiative.

Publicity for the film was still ongoing.

At the end of April, Su Yehao heavily promoted himself in the mainland with the news that his "house is worth 400 million Hong Kong dollars."

Considering his Casino resident status, which aligned with the mainland's reform and opening-up theme, and the fact that he earned the money himself, this news – supposedly leaked design drawings but actually spread by the public relations department – widely circulated in the mainland, Hong Kong, and Casino, and even reached Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.

The effect was better than expected.

In just three days, the tAt chat software gained more than 40,000 new registered users in the mainland, and the tot portal website also attracted tens of thousands of new users.

After the news cooled down, Su Yehao jumped out again and said in an interview that he planned to buy land and build houses, not just the house, to avoid being too arrogant and envied.

The publicity and promotion department went into full swing, and the global weekly activity of the tAt instant messaging software exceeded 100,000 on the first day.

Some investment institutions with a keen sense of smell have already begun to ask whether they would accept financing.

In any case, Su Yehao, who tasted success for the first time, was quickly remembered by many people. He was preparing to show his face from time to time, creating a few big news stories in order to save money on advertising.

Even good products need to be known.

In his opinion, the value of this new batch of users far exceeded the cost of buying land and expanding the house.

Relying on this number alone certainly couldn't create much value, but it firmly pushed tAt, the tot portal website, and the search engine to the "number one market share in the mainland" throne, far ahead of a group of competitors.

It is no exaggeration to say that among the 700,000 to 800,000 netizens in the mainland today, one-tenth of them are already using tAt chat software, and one-third of tAt users have also started using the tot portal website and search engine.

The valuation agency gave them a valuation of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but Su Yehao completely disagreed with this number.

As long as they can gain a firm foothold and withstand the impact of latecomers, this value can be multiplied a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times. The potential for growth is terrifying.

In this situation, Su Yehao should be down-to-earth and continue to work hard.

But he took the time, taking advantage of Nan Gongtian's busy film shooting schedule, and went on vacation to Hawaii with Nong Qingying...

Hawaii at the end of April.

Coconut trees, sea waves, beaches, sunshine, beauties, and mansions.

After arriving on a private plane and checking into the Hilton Hotel next to Waikiki Beach, it was quite the enjoyment.

A little after nine in the morning.

Su Yehao, wearing sunglasses, drove a rented Hummer with Nong Qingying to the Kualoa Ranch to visit the filming location of *Jurassic Park*.

The weather was a bit hot, and Nong Qingying was wearing a camisole, pink shorts, and sneakers.

After getting in the car and applying sunscreen, she said, "I don't understand why the locals like to tan themselves to a wheatish color. It would be okay if they tanned naked, but wouldn't the skin tone be different if they tanned with clothes on?"

The reason for mentioning this topic was that several white girls were all lying on the lounge chairs by the hotel pool, wearing only bikinis.

After Su Yehao waited for the temporarily hired bodyguards to arrive, he drove off, smiling and replying:

"Leaving tan lines from wearing a bikini seems to be considered sexy. Why don't you give it a try?"

Nong Qingying decisively refused, shaking her head in disgust and saying, "I don't want to. How much effort did I spend to maintain my current condition? A single spa treatment costs more than two thousand yuan. If I become a little blackie, you'll definitely run out and cheat."

"Never mind, I didn't say anything."

It was Su Yehao's first time driving a Hummer, and he only felt that the car was too wide and too big. He was careful, afraid of scratching the cars next to him.

He continued to chat idly, "It's the third day since coming to Hawaii, and we're finally going out to visit. We've been eating and drinking at the hotel, and only went shopping twice. It feels no different from staying in Hong Kong."

"That's what traveling is like. The climate in Hawaii is comfortable. Although it's all sea, the seawater looks completely different from the seawater in Hong Kong. Everything is shrouded in sunshine."

Nong Qingying held up the coconut placed on her lap, looking like she was in a good mood.

Su Yehao smiled after listening, "If Hawaiian residents travel to Hong Kong, they might think Hong Kong is more interesting."

"That's right, otherwise why would so many foreigners run to our Hong Kong to play? After the novelty wears off, it's actually about the same. It's still very comfortable to go out for a walk occasionally..."

While chatting, they followed the car driven by the tour guide and passed through the downtown area.

More than 800,000 people live on the 1,500-plus square kilometers of Oahu, and the suburbs are full of coffee plantations, ranches, and primeval forests.

The sunlight was very dazzling, causing the scenery along the road to seem to be covered with a natural filter. Driving in this environment, opening the windows and taking a breeze, was indeed particularly enjoyable.

After spending some time listening to English songs on the radio, they arrived at the Kualoa Ranch.

This ranch was lucky.

Due to its beautiful scenery, it was selected by the *Jurassic Park* crew as a filming location a few years ago.

As the movie became popular around the world, the number of tourists suddenly increased, allowing the ranch owner to continue operating while opening up many new tourism projects, such as jungle adventures, boat trips to the sea, and watching hula dance performances. In addition, you can also drive a four-wheeled ATV.

Arriving at the Kualoa Ranch, you could see many buses parked there, with tourist groups from all over the world.

Su Yehao booked a deluxe boutique tour, and the tour guide took them separately, first taking a small yacht out to sea to watch whales. It was said that several whales happened to be there today, and the probability of seeing them was very high.

More than half an hour passed, and Su Yehao did see the whales, but unfortunately, they didn't slap the water with their tails, only popping their heads out to breathe.

After returning to the shore, he and Nong Qingying each drove a four-wheeled ATV and followed the tour guide to continue the tour, a project called "Movie Tour."

Next to the dirt path, they got up close and personal with cattle and sheep, and some dinosaur skeleton models were placed outdoors by the side of the road.

The props were quite uninteresting, but the surrounding scenery made Su Yehao feel refreshed.

After eating steak at the restaurant at noon and watching the hula dance, they took a short rest and followed the tour guide to climb the mountain.

Halfway up, Nong Qingying got tired, so the Kualoa Ranch tour came to an end. They went down the mountain and returned to the hotel, continuing to squat in the room.

Sixth day in Hawaii.

They set off for the Big Island, riding horses and picking pineapples under the largest volcano crater in the area.

Other tourists like to go to sea, but he has no interest in yachts. He didn't learn how to surf, and he already has his own speedboat.

Su Yehao already regretted agreeing to accompany her for a week. He didn't go to many attractions, and he was already exhausted. Yet, he had no resistance and easily fell for her tricks every night...
