While Tao Xiaotian was looking for Tang Ruoxue all over the world, Ye Fan and the others were landing on the undeveloped Golden Island.
This large island, which can accommodate a population of five million, is like the most dazzling pearl of the island set in the sea.
The sea water is clear, the beach is soft, and as far as the eye can see, there is a hundred miles of silver beach.
The real island Maldives.
Precisely because of the preciousness of the Golden Island, the government has not touched it, waiting for funds and conditions to mature before developing it.
If the finances were not really very difficult this time, the government would still want to operate on its own for another three to five years.
This strategic emphasis that has remained unchanged for more than ten or twenty years is one of the reasons why Tao Xiaotian has no doubts about the potential of Golden Island.
Coming off the pier temporarily built by Song Wansan, Ye Fan and the others stepped onto the beach with a smile.
The scent of beauty and coconut hits the face, making people feel refreshed.
Everyone was in a happy mood.
"Mr. Song, have you been busy these days?"
While standing on the temporary pier and looking at the Golden Island, Ye Tiandong laughed at Song Wansan and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Song Hongyan also smiled and nodded: "Grandpa, isn't it just a bonfire party? Is it so lively?"
The originally uninhabited Golden Island now has more than a dozen cabins, just like a resort.
These cabins are not only hidden among the coconut trees, but also bring in the sea water to the door, so you can feel the clear water up close.
There is also a small swimming pool behind each wooden house, where you can swim and soak in hot springs.
A variety of fresh fruits are hung around the wooden house.
This shows how much Song Wansan attaches great importance to this barbecue?
"Hahaha, it's rare for everyone to get together, how can I not put in some effort?"
Song Wansan laughed loudly: "Besides, grandpa is very capable of making money, so there is no pressure in this arrangement."
"You can play whatever you want, you can eat whatever you want, and you can live in whichever room you want."
He waved his hand: "Youyou, Sissi, cabin No. 8 belongs to you. There are a hundred boxes of snacks piled inside."
Nangong Youyou and Qian Qian cheered immediately after hearing this, then screamed and rushed towards the wooden house.
Ye Fan and the others smiled and shook their heads. They did not pursue them, nor did they worry about their safety.
Golden Island was sealed off for several days and searched three times. There were a large number of bodyguards guarding the wooden house in front and back, so the danger was minimal.
"Master Ye, Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Zhao, let's go ashore."
Song Wansan smiled again: "It's a rare gathering, so we must enjoy it to the fullest. If you have any shortcomings, just tell me."
Ye Tiandong and the others smiled and waved their hands: "Mr. Song, you're welcome."
"This golden island is so beautiful."
Ye Ruge glanced at the coastline and smiled: "No wonder travel friends say it is China's Maldives."
"It's really beautiful. Many years ago, when I was passing by here as a soldier, the ship ran aground for two days."
Song Wansan led the crowd forward and smiled at Ye Tiandong and the others:
"There happens to be a theater medic on board that I like."
"I fell in love with this place at that time. I felt like this was paradise on earth."
"If you live here in seclusion with your loved one, you can fish during the day, have a bonfire at night, and fall asleep to the sound of the waves."
"That is definitely the most fulfilling and happiest thing in life."
"I also vowed at that time that when I got rich in the future, I would definitely come here for vacation and retirement."
"It's a pity that the official wants to regard it as the last sacred place on the island."
"It's been undeveloped for so many years."
"This time the island official puts it up for auction, which is a good opportunity for me."
"It's a pity that I'm old. I bought it and developed it. I probably gave up before it was completed."
The old man showed a hint of regret: "If I were ten years younger, I would definitely smash the pot and shoot it down."
Hearing that Song Wansan and Golden Island had a fate many years ago, Ye Tiandong and Zhao Mingyue suddenly understood and nodded.
No wonder Song Wansan wanted to come here for the bonfire party, even if it was a big fanfare.
It turned out that I wanted to realize my little wish.
Ye Fan was slightly surprised: "Grandpa, were you a soldier when you were young?"
"Mr. Song was a famous vanguard in the war zone back then."
Ye Tiandong smiled: "And he was the first soldier to land on the island three times. He was very ferocious."
"If it weren't for the fact that his ambition is not to be in the war zone, and he refuses to be promoted to an official position, he only wants financial rewards, and now I'm afraid he will need several stars on his shoulders."
He added: "This is probably one of the main reasons why Mr. Song selflessly donated the sacrifices of the three cornerstones."
Song Hongyan was also shocked: "Grandpa, do you still have such heroic experience?"
She had never heard Song Wansan talk about these things.
"Hahaha, the leader of the Ye Clan is really powerful. You know everything that happened more than fifty years ago."
Song Wansan smiled and waved his hand: "You know, I almost forgot about it myself."
"But it's not that he's fierce, it's that he's so poor that he even wants to trade his life for it."
"In order to live a better life, I can only make a little more money by being a vanguard."
"After all, being in the first row is a tenfold reward."
"If you survive, you will save several years of struggle."
"God is so kind to me. I rushed to the front and survived three times. This also allowed me to accumulate the capital to make a fortune."
The old man was as optimistic as ever: "Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died of poverty, hahaha."
"Grandpa, if you like this island, I can take a photo of it and give it to you."
Ye Fan held Song Hongyan's hand and smiled: "Just think of it as my betrothal gift for marrying Hongyan."
During the war with Xiang Kingdom, Ye Fan struggled to collect 500 billion, and he still needed help from Tang Pingfan and the other five people.
But after the Xiang Kingdom and the Wolf Kingdom, Ye Fan's wealth skyrocketed, and he had no pressure to raise 100 billion to buy an island to fulfill Song Wansan's wish.
Song Hongyan's cheeks turned red, but her eyes were as gentle as water.
Zhao Mingyue's three mothers were also indescribably happy.
"Hahaha, boy, you are so happy and generous."
Song Wansan laughed: "Just telling you, marrying you is the most correct choice in my life."
"But grandpa, thank you."
"As Grandpa said just now, I am already over seventy years old and do not have the energy to carve this pearl."
"I have no chance to spend the rest of my life here with my beloved."
“So it’s better to just let go if you keep going until the end.”
"And there are some obsessions. Once you let go, you will be relieved."
Song Wansan changed the subject: "The most important point is that the island is the territory of the clan association."
"Tao Xiaotian and I have a kinship that is like fire and water."
"My purchase of Golden Island is like a piece of fat on the lips of the Tao clan."
"Although I am now rich and well-connected, and I am still within the scope of China, Tao Xiaotian cannot take it away by force."
"But that local snake is still capable of stabbing in the dark."
He sighed: "I was bitten by Tao Xiaotian many years ago. I can no longer let a sheep slip into the tiger's mouth."
Ye Tiandong smiled: "Old sir, are you still thinking about the diamond mine?"
"What about the diamond mine?"
Ye Fan couldn't help but be curious: "Is this the grudge between Grandpa and Tao?"
"The old gentleman had a priceless diamond mine in Heifei back then."
Ye Tiandong put his hands behind his back and smiled:
"Tao Xiaotian used the black army to take it away..."
