The world-famous Fortune magazine once predicted in its first issue in 1930: "As a symbol of wealth, privately owned islands will even replace the status of yachts today."
This prediction has been realized in the 1950s and 1960s. There are private islands on the east and west coasts of Canada, the New England coast, the Caribbean, the South Pacific and the coasts of Europe. North America has even become private islands.
Island paradise.
However, in China, due to the imperfection of relevant laws and regulations, the verification of this prediction came relatively late and tortuously. It was not until 2005 that the concept of private islands came into the minds of Chinese people.
But there are also some invisible rich people like Zhuang Rui who bought private islands abroad and became addicted to the island owners. Today, this kind of life away from the hustle and bustle is recognized by more and more wealthy people.
Looking down from the plane on this private island that belongs entirely to him, Zhuang Rui felt a little excited. In ancient terms, this was his fiefdom, and Zhuang Rui was the lord of this island.
When the plane came to a standstill on the long runway, Zhuang Rui opened the door and stepped out. The warm and slightly salty air made him feel refreshed.
The airport is not very big, but it has two runways that can accommodate two planes taking off and landing at the same time. It is separated from the outside by barbed wire. Directly in front of the runway, there is a two-story tower control room.
"Husband, it's so beautiful. I really want to live here forever..."
There are tall palm trees growing outside the airport, and a little further away is a lush virgin forest with a mist shrouded in it, making it look extremely mysterious and beautiful.
Hearing his wife's words, Zhuang Rui also felt tenderness in his heart. He put his arm around Qin Xuanbing's waist and said, "When I retire, we will live here, go fishing every day, and go out to sea to enjoy the sea breeze, okay?"
good?"
In recent years, Zhuang Rui has become more and more famous and richer, but the hustle and bustle of the city has made him feel more and more bored. Living with animals for a long time, Zhuang Rui's mentality is more inclined to a natural and free life.
.
Hearing Zhuang Rui's soft words in her ear, Qin Xuanbing had a look of intoxication on her face. She had an indifferent temperament, and she was extremely satisfied to be able to live in this paradise-like place with her husband and children.
"Xiaozhuang, are you finally here? Is this... this island all yours?"
The voices of Zhang Ma and Li Ao interrupted the conversation between Zhuang Rui and his wife. The two were also shocked when they saw the island from the plane window. After getting off the plane, they quickly looked around.
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this and said, "Mother Zhang, Sister-in-law Li, do you want to live here for a long time in the future?"
"Then...are there any yangko dancers here?"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Sister-in-law Li thought about it seriously. She was much younger than Zhang's mother and Zhuang's mother. She loved to go to the park to dance and perform yangko with a bunch of old men and women.
"Haha, not now, but there will be in the future..."
Zhuang Rui laughed. His island was much larger than the islands purchased by the surrounding Hollywood stars. Even excluding the virgin forest area, it could easily accommodate tens of thousands or eight thousand people.
However, due to environmental protection and other considerations, Zhuang Rui only allows a maximum of 180 people to live on the island. Any more will affect the surrounding ecological environment. This is not what Zhuang Rui wants to see.
The two little guys who had been on the plane for a whole day squeezed out from Zhuang Rui and started running stumblingly through the airport, their faces full of excitement.
"Oh, oh, dad, it's so beautiful here. I really wish Xiaobai was here..."
After the two little guys ran around wildly, they hugged Zhuang Rui's thighs, one on the left and the other on the right. The little white in their mouths was naturally the white lion.
"Dad also wants to bring the white lion next time. From now on, we will come to the island to live for a few months every year..."
Since there were too many people coming this time, there was not enough space in the cabin, and Bai Shi didn't like taking a boat, so Zhuang Rui had no choice but to leave the couple at home.
Seeing Peng Fei and Hao Long, who were the last to get off the plane, with longing in their eyes, Zhuang Rui laughed and asked: "Peng Fei, let Zhang Qian come with you next time, Hao Long, and a few of you."
, do you want to live here for a long time?”
"Of course I do, I don't care, Brother Zhuang, you must leave me a house..." Peng Fei and Zhuang Rui have been friends for a lifetime, so they naturally have no worries when talking.
"Brother Zhuang, I think so too, but I don't know if my wife is willing?"
Hao Long smiled honestly. He got married last year, and his wife was five or six years younger than him. Now Zhuang Rui arranged for her to work at "Qin Ruilin".
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to. We have reserved a house for you here. You can come for vacation in the future..."
Zhuang Rui glanced at the other security guards with envious faces and said, "If you are willing to work here, your salary will be five times higher than at home. After three years, you can choose to return to China or stay here and continue working. If you do
After ten years, there will be a set of private property here that belongs to you.
Well, if they get married during this period, the wives can also come over, and the settlement will be three times their original salary..."
For such a private island, Zhuang Rui naturally has to arrange trustworthy security guards. These people are all Hao Long's comrades. They have followed Zhuang Rui for more than two years and can be regarded as Zhuang Rui's old team.
However, although this place has beautiful scenery, young people may not be able to calm down and live here, so Zhuang Rui gave very generous conditions.
"Boss, I am willing to stay..."
"I do too, it's so beautiful here..."
"I...I want to go back and discuss it with my wife to see if she is willing to..."
The answers from several people were not exactly the same. Just as Zhuang Rui thought, it is good to travel to such a beautiful place for vacation, but it would be a bit boring to live there for a long time.
Zhuang Rui nodded and said: "It doesn't matter. Think carefully. It's not far from the United States and Cuba. You can take a helicopter out of the city to visit during your rest in the future..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the hesitant security guard was also a little tempted, but it seemed that like Hao Long, he was probably afraid of his wife, so he hesitated to nod.
"Boss, we also want to come here for vacation..."
The flight attendants and pilots on Zhuang Rui's private jet also joined in the fun. Zhuang Rui's island is comparable to the resort resort of Maldives. No one can resist the beautiful scenery here.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance every year..." Zhuang Rui nodded indifferently. He had originally promised that the crew would have two travel opportunities every year.
"Zhuang Rui, my younger siblings, Xiao Peng, hehe, they are all here..."
While Zhuang Rui and the others were standing under the plane chatting, two five-row, three-seater battery cars slowly drove over. Before the car could stabilize, Hu Rong jumped off.
"Brother Hu, thank you for your hard work..." Zhuang Rui hurriedly greeted him.
Hu Rong smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's not hard, I'm getting ready to be your neighbor. Come on, get in the car and I'll take you to visit..."
The two battery-powered cars can seat thirty people. After Zhuang Rui and his party got on the car, the battery-powered cars drove out of the airport and drove forward along the road paved with white sand and gravel.
"Zhuang Rui, all the energy supply on this island is solar energy. The power generation and water supply system will not destroy the original ecology of the island..."
The battery car was driving slowly, and Hu Rong introduced Zhuang Rui to the island and its surroundings.
To the north of this island is the private island of the famous pirate movie star Johnny Depp. I wonder if he was influenced by the movie Pirates of the Caribbean and really wanted to become addicted to pirates?
To the south is the island owned by movie star Leonardo DiCaprio. The island, which covers an area of just over 600 acres, looks extremely shabby compared to the one owned by Zhuang Rui.
When Hu Rong was building this island, many Hollywood movie stars and financial tycoons came to contact Hu Rong and came up with high prices to buy this private island. The highest one even offered $800 million.
Far higher than the price of the island itself.
According to Hu Rong, there is a submarine cave with a depth of more than 100 meters at the other end of the island, which is filled with various stalactites and is the best choice for exploring.
All of this has made Zhuang Rui's island a well-known island king, and the mysterious owner has also become the object that movie stars and tycoons want to know about. Perhaps after Zhuang Rui moves in, he will often be criticized by his neighbors.
visited.
"That's the port. It's enough for your Xuan Rui to dock. Let's go to the beach over there. I compared several private islands, and none of them have a beach as good as this one..."
As Hu Rong spoke, he drove the battery car to a road beside a beach. The sparkling beach and blue water suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
It was almost dusk at this time, and the sun that was about to set turned the originally snow-white beach into a golden color. The beautiful scenery shocked everyone in the group.
The island is so big that only half of it has been developed. After Hu Rong took everyone on a tour of the beach, they returned to the villa area at the other end of the airport.
These villas are completely in the style of ancient Chinese architecture, with a maximum height of only two floors. The villas are surrounded by tall palm trees. Although they are exotic plants, they are not out of place at all.
In addition to the six single-family villas, there are also some seemingly scattered buildings surrounding the villa, but in fact they are integrated into the surrounding environment.
Zhuang Rui was very satisfied with seeing these houses on the other side of the ocean far away from China, as if they were at home. Living here can also alleviate some of his homesickness.
