The island was packed with people.

Su Yehao had originally planned to take his family out for shopping, but for safety reasons, he had to give up the idea for the time being.

He could still find fun at home.

He used the Pink Diamond brand drone he had just developed to take aerial photos of some of the island's attractions.

For example, the pedestrian street was so crowded that it was impossible to pass through. Today was the island's trial opening to the public, and many brands were offering discounts. Many overseas tourists came all the way from Singapore, Japan, and other places to shop.

There was also a long queue in front of the Infinity Electric Vehicle flagship store.

This brand, which he invested in and created, just launched a mid-range car priced at 400,000 Hong Kong dollars today, which has attracted widespread attention from potential consumers around the world. Compared with traditional car manufacturers, the sales volume is not very large, but it has exceeded Su Yehao's expectations, making him quite surprised.

In addition, there was the Sihai Emperor Casino on another "crab claw," which claimed that even the toilets met the standards of a seven-star hotel. There was a nine-dragon wall made of pure gold in the lobby, which used a total of eighteen tons of gold. The casino was so luxurious that it had become a must-see tourist attraction in itself.

From the air, the entire casino looked like a gold ingot, round and a little pleasing, and at the same time very modern.

With Su Yehao's financial support, designers were always able to turn their whimsical ideas into real landmarks.

For example, the Emperor Hotel, located in the center of the "crab shell," claimed to be the only eight-star hotel in the world, with a total of ninety-nine rooms. Even the bathrobes and bed sheets were co-branded with BurBerry, the British luxury brand that Su Yehao had acquired last year.

The island's electricity all came from ocean tidal energy and wind energy, so there was no need to consider electricity expenses. The entire island was very bright at night.

Not only was the scenery beautiful, but it also had everything you could want for eating, drinking, and having fun, with a full sense of luxury.

The image of Emperor Crab Island had been established first. When it started selling houses to the public, it might be able to earn hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars more.

If nothing unexpected happened, Su Yehao would live here permanently in the future, traveling between here and Hong Kong's Big Wave Bay. Therefore, he paid special attention during the construction period, almost bringing modern architectural aesthetics to the extreme.

Taking aerial photos with a drone, any view was beautiful.

Equally beautiful were the Xisha Islands, for which he had obtained tourism development permits. Referring to the high-end private islands of the Maldives, he planned to invest a total of 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in construction and renovation work over the next two years.

The seemingly whimsical ideas were becoming reality one by one.

The most exaggerated of these was the lunar hotel project, which had been in preparation for several years. The lunar exploration satellite, co-operated with the mainland, had been sent to the lunar orbit, and hundreds of experts and scholars from around the world were helping with the planning.

Thanks to the project funds provided by Su Yehao, Bauhinia Institute of Technology also developed a 3D printing prototype, trying to use the moon's own building materials to build a lunar base that was more solid and durable than inflatable modules, and specially added a "Cosmic Architecture" major.

The lunar hotel project was being discussed outside.

In fact, for Su Yehao, as long as people didn't treat him as a traditional tycoon, and his image was slightly more positive, and they supported his family's business more, he would be guaranteed to make a profit no matter whether the project was ultimately successful or not.

…

After the island opened.

A week passed, and the popularity not only didn't decrease, but increased instead.

It coincided with the peak tourist season of the summer vacation, and tourists from all over the world poured into Casino, almost emptying all the luxury goods inventories.

On average, it could bring Su Yehao about 60 million Hong Kong dollars in income every day, but unfortunately, as the novelty gradually faded, such good days were destined not to last for a long time.

Under these circumstances.

Su Yehao rarely took a long trip, personally attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway, and, together with other guests, took a test ride on the high-speed train from the capital to Shanghai.

Previously, this high-speed railway line had passed the acceptance test run without passengers for a month, and some passengers had already experienced it first.

This was the first time in his life to take a domestic high-speed train, and after paying several years of interest, he was finally able to see the money coming back. Su Yehao felt very comfortable.

While on the train, he drank coffee and enjoyed the scenery outside the window.

Someone sat next to him and asked with a smile, "You mentioned a plan two years ago to build a satellite city in Hong Kong. Has there been any new progress after discussing it for so long?"

Speaking of this matter, Su Yehao also felt helpless, waved his hand and replied:

"I get a headache when I talk about this. The satellite city probably won't be built. After the old buildings that can be developed in the urban area were counted at the beginning of last year, the reason why they agreed to start demolishing the old buildings and building more public housing was mainly to prevent the satellite city plan. Since the old city renovation has started, there is of course no need to build a new city separately. It is expected that 5,000 public housing units will be added every year in the next five years, which can barely be considered a good result."

The old man in the white shirt asked tentatively: "Then do you think it would help alleviate housing pressure if another artificial island similar to Crab Island was built in Pengcheng Bay?"

Su Yehao was stunned when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said:

"That would definitely help. People can take a boat to work, spend a few tens of minutes more on the road, and save millions on buying a house. Only a fool wouldn't do it."

"Since you think it's possible, then make a concept map and try the waters first?"

"It shouldn't be a problem, but the approval procedures and the like need your help to get them done."

As Su Yehao spoke, he pondered, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was very good. Even if he couldn't successfully attract buyers from Hong Kong, the houses that were built would still not be difficult to sell.

They continued to chat about this topic for a while, and when they looked out the window again, they found that they had already entered the urban area of Shanghai.

When he came to the mainland in the 1990s, there was still a wonderful feeling of time and space confusion. Nowadays, it is just a familiar metropolis, and there is no longer any novelty.

Now that he was here, there was no hurry to leave.

After the ceremony on the high-speed railway, Su Yehao went to visit the World Expo. Others only looked at the exhibits in the venue, but he stared at the 5-square-kilometer park.

The real estate industry was still in its golden age. Third- and fourth-tier cities might easily encounter bottlenecks, but it would definitely not be a loss to acquire land in a super-first-tier city like Shanghai now.

Considering that the World Expo had spent a lot of money, Su Yehao didn't mind helping to recoup some of it. He didn't lack money now, but he lacked opportunities to turn the numbers on the books into high-quality physical assets.

He happened to think of this matter while visiting, and he asked Linda Yun to send someone to try to communicate.

That's right.

Linda Yun's net worth soared to six or seven hundred million Hong Kong dollars, but she still occupied the position of personal assistant, which was a bit like being addicted to working.

Not only in the assistant's office, there were rumors that there might be a special relationship between her and Su Yehao.

Even Nangong Tian felt strange and privately questioned whether there was a secret.

In all conscience, Su Yehao really didn't mean that. Linda Yun liked to work herself, and he couldn't just drive people away, could he...
