With nothing to do, Su Yehao found a boat and went to King Crab Island.
The engineering director responsible for the reclamation work, whose name is Yu Linyang, pointed at the breakwater that was almost ready to be formed and said:
"Our previous preparations have been relatively complete, and we have the experience of Palm Jumeirah Island in Dubai to learn from, so we can avoid many detours. I estimate that the entire peripheral breakwater will be built at the beginning of next month, and the remaining
There are also some reinforcement, road, greening and other work, which can be carried out first when the time comes."
Su Yehao stood nearby and saw two ships starting construction at the same time. He asked in confusion: "Why is there another one?"
"It's a team from the Mainland. They took the initiative to approach us and offered to undertake part of the project. After the evaluation was done by your office, boss, I felt that the price was convenient and affordable, almost half the price, so I let this new team participate."
Director Yu Linyang looked around and said regretfully: "The labor prices in the mainland are indeed cheap, and the work is done very seriously. Unfortunately, the cutter suction dredger used is a bit slow."
Su Yehao asked in a puzzled tone:
"Why didn't anyone tell me before that there is actually a team building islands in the mainland? If I had known, why would I still hire those Europeans whose wages are so high? I could just outsource it to the construction team in the north. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I can
A little saving is worth a little.”
Director Yu Linyang was stunned for a moment, thinking he was a little bit blaming, and immediately replied:
"We didn't know it before, mainly because the team was not well-known. The reclaimed stones and concrete wave absorbing blocks were all purchased from inland, and the overall cost was already much cheaper than the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai."
Mainly because we want to keep the land for outsiders and accumulate more experience now so that we can build a "fixed maritime aircraft carrier" sooner in the future.
Seeing that Director Yu didn't understand what he meant, Su Yehao calmly waved his hand and said:
"It's okay, I just mentioned it casually. Many people on the Internet like to call this island "Emperor" and "Crab Island". If you think of it as a real estate, this name is much more domineering. The price per square meter
It can be sold for thousands of dollars more. Let’s change it like this in the future. When promoting it to the outside world, we will call it Emperor Crab Island. Don’t be careless during the construction period. If someone catches you talking about something, the impact will be great.
"
In the early days, only islands were built.
In order to reasonably delay the delay, many other design and planning works have not yet begun, especially residential projects.
Director Yu didn't know why, and asked with a little curiosity:
"Last time, someone told me that after the breakwater is completed, the construction on it will not start for the time being. Why is this? If you are worried about safety, then I dare to pat my chest and guarantee that there will be no problem. The airport runway here is actually the same as the Kai Tak Cyberport
It’s almost the same, the bearing capacity is quite good, and the surface will be filled with a thick layer of soil when the time comes.”
From the other party, Su Yehao saw the shadow of himself in his previous life. He only immersed himself in work every day and would not consider the problem from the boss's perspective. Moreover, even if he did, it would be useless.
With a smile on his face, he said to Director Yu:
"I'm not worried about safety. It's mainly due to comprehensive considerations such as ecology, livability, cost and benefits. For example, in residential buildings, the buildings a few decades ago are different from now, and the apartments now will be different from those in the future, whether indoors or not."
Design or appearance, it will become outdated if you are not careful. Don't rush into it. There may be an offshore wind power plant in the distance. Noise, impact on marine animals, etc., must all be taken into consideration, and only slow work can produce fine work.
"
Su Yehao regards Emperor Crab Island as his own sand table town. He may live here all year round in the future. Of course, he must try his best to polish the details to perfection.
With the exception of rental properties on the edge of the breakwater, the remaining residences are unlikely to be sold cheaply, so many residents who are now counting on moving to the island may end up disappointed.
From the beginning of the Emperor Crab Island project, it has been positioned as the top wealthy area in Asia...
Reclamation technology is very mature and so far everything is going well.
Su Yehao landed on the originally filled land and found that the sand dug out from the seabed had long dried and contained some white salt.
It is precisely because of these sea salts that soil needs to be transported from other places to cover, otherwise many green plants will not survive, but coconuts, mangroves, etc. will not be affected.
In addition to needing to transport soil to increase the altitude, a large amount of sea sand is also needed next to the artificial beach. Due to the existence of breakwaters, it is almost impossible to form a natural beach, and the sand around the casino is not very good.
According to Director Yu, it is estimated that they will have to be purchased from the Philippines, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian regions. There will still be losses on weekdays, and they can only be maintained through regular maintenance.
Su Yehao is not too worried about this. When the time comes, he can reach out to the officials and ask for some funds for maintenance work, or he can pay for it himself. There is no need to worry about the small sum of three melons and two dates. The most important thing is to live comfortably.
Compared with Emperor Crab Island.
The construction speed of the Sihai Casino and Hotel project is much faster.
The construction engineering team brought in from the mainland worked day and night and worked overtime to meet the deadline. Since there were no residences nearby, there was no need to worry about disturbing the residents, which saved Sihai International Group a lot of valuable time.
Emperor Crab Island needs to wait patiently for the housing prices in the casino city to rise, but the sooner the Sihai Casino Hotel is completed, the sooner it will open for business and earn money from customers.
If the opening date is earlier than the other five new casinos, it is very likely to attract customers in advance. Since Sihai International Group is the largest construction company in the casino, Su Yehao heard his old man mention that hotels and shopping malls are well built.
It’s fast and good, and the cost is much cheaper than other casinos.
Calculating the progress, it can be almost completed by the end of 2006, and the separate casino, one of the hotels, and the amusement park are expected to be put into trial operation at the end of 2005.
As a private company of the Su family, Sihai International Group currently does not have much financial pressure, and its efficiency is extremely high. It cannot be compared to foreign companies such as Wynn, Sands, and Nebula.
The weather is a bit hot.
Worried that the cherries he bought for Nangong Tian would spoil, Su Yehao didn't stay too long and took a boat directly back to Dalang Bay. There was his private dock on the beach, and neighbors would occasionally borrow it.
It only took him more than an hour to get home from the casino. When he was walking home, he shouted with a smile: "Where are you? I brought a gift, come over and eat some fresh cherries."
After Nangong Tian showed up, she hurriedly made a shushing gesture and told him, "I finally managed to get my son to sleep. Children are always sleeping. Our family seems to be very energetic."
"Isn't this a good thing? Besides, it's different from going to the mall to buy things. The children you get cannot be easily replaced."
After hearing Su Yehao's words, Nangong Tian smiled and said: "Our child is so cute, why should we replace it? I'm just worried that lack of sleep will affect development..."
