Gu Kun sent Lin Ying back to her home speechlessly, seeing that it was already half past eight in the evening.
I don't know if her family will be worried.
After stopping the car, Gu Kun said with concern: "If your parents are worried about you and won't let you go out to play tomorrow, then send Panpan a text message to say so.
Don't worry, I will do what I promised you. Even if you can't go tomorrow, I will take you to Lanfang in the future."
Lin Ying couldn't help but said expressively: "It's not something you need to worry about. I usually behave like a gifted student. They don't worry about me being a bad student at all. You should ask Panpan about it. I'm often in the top ten of my grade."
Unexpectedly, she is a girl who usually pretends to be a good girl.
It seems that the more such a little girl is, the more deceitful she is when she is secretly rebellious.
Gu Kun secretly thought that he really didn't know Lin Ying very well yet, so he just assumed it first.
Maybe the other person is not as innocent and innocent as he thought.
Never mind.
…
After returning home and resting for the night, Gu Kun took his sister to the yacht dock on the Sarawak River early the next morning, boarded his new speedboat, and got ready to set sail.
Large ocean-going fishing boats have to work, and resting is a waste, so Gu Kun had thought about it a long time ago and wanted to buy a small yacht for transportation. Finally, half a month ago, he was still arguing with Chen Ming
At that time, he officially placed the order.
This ship was also built by the Wu Jingwei shipyard in the East China Sea. It was previously placed on a large ship and transported back like a lifeboat. The ship is not big, only 11 meters long, with a displacement of 20 tons when fully loaded. It has a single-layer cabin and a mast that can be lowered.
.
If you buy this boat in Lijiapo, it costs about 150,000 ringgit, which is equivalent to 400,000 yuan, but if you build it in China, it only costs 300,000 yuan, which can save you 100,000 yuan. The decoration style of Chinese products is a little rustic, and nothing else will be affected.
Although the boat is small, its power is 160 horsepower, which is comparable to a fishing boat of more than 100 tons. Therefore, it is very fast and can reach a top speed of more than 30 knots. At full speed, it only takes one and a half hours to return from Kuching to the main island of Lanfang.
As soon as the brother and sister were ready to set sail, Lin Ying arrived.
Her family members were not at all vigilant or obstructive about "going out with classmates on weekends", so Gu Kun was too lazy to do anything else, so he just took it with him.
Before starting the boat, Gu Kun made a final confirmation: "Sit tight, I'm going faster. If you get dizzy, just tell me and I'll slow down."
Lin Ying wants to make a strong statement: "Drive as you like, I'm not afraid."
Gu: “Can you swim?”
Lin: "How can I not swim? I can still be considered a person living by the sea."
"No matter what, put on the life jacket."
After Gu Kun finished speaking, the boat quickly began to speed up.
Lin Ying thought it was nothing at first, so she opened her lifejacket and spread her arms, looking like she was enjoying the breeze just like the heroine on the Titanic - although "Titanic" will not be filmed until three years later, but the girl is kidding
All handsome people can teach themselves without a teacher.
It was already very hot in Malaysia at the end of May, and today she knew clearly that she was going out with the Gu Kun brothers and sisters, and there were no outsiders, so she specially wore a shiny silk sling in Death Barbie pink, which might not have seduce Gu Kun.
Kun's thoughts.
Unfortunately, we only had fun for a few minutes. As the boat sailed out of the mouth of the Sarawak River and entered the South China Sea, the wind and waves suddenly increased, which was completely unmatched by the river.
(Note: "South China Sea" is just a geographical term, not a political term. The Malay coast is also called "South China Sea", just like the east coast of South Korea, the territorial sea south of Lucia Sakhalin Island is also called "Japan Sea"
A truth. The "South China Sea" is China's territorial waters.)
Lin Ying's face soon turned pale, and she returned to the cabin from the stern deck, holding on to the railing beside the sofa, and obediently wrapped the life jacket tightly again. She had never gone out on a speedboat before, at most she only went out on the river and on the beach.
Have fun while playing.
Gu Kun saw it in his eyes, but since the girl wanted to show off her strength and grit her teeth and refused to admit defeat, he would not let the water slow down the boat.
I just took this opportunity to let the little girl retreat from the difficulties, overestimate the dangers of sailor's life, and realize that we are people from two worlds.
It is too easy for an old captain to make a rookie seasick and make a fool of himself.
Gu Kun controlled the ship's course with ease. Sometimes when he saw a wave approaching, he would just find the angle that was most likely to cause bumps to hit it. As a result, the wind force, which was only level three, was actually level five by him.
Bumping effect.
Lin Ying gritted her teeth and held on for more than half an hour, refusing to admit defeat. Finally, with a "wow" sound, she vomited out her breakfast.
Seeing this situation, even Gu Pan couldn't bear it anymore and reminded him loudly: "Brother, Sister Lin is getting seasick and vomiting. Please drive slower. You usually don't get that bumpy when sailing."
Gu Kun pretended that he had just discovered it: "Ah? It can't be done so fast? As for you, you'd better take a plane to travel around the world in the future, or take a big cruise ship for fun. Don't worry, I'll slow down right away."
"No... no need to slow down! I ate overnight porridge in the morning. I wasn't feeling well in the first place. It's none of your business!" Lin Ying also felt something bad and knew that Gu Kun wanted to let her give up.
But the little girl is at her most rebellious age, and the more she becomes like this, the more she refuses to admit defeat.
Instead, I thought the big deal was just like riding a roller coaster or bungee jumping.
"Stop being so brave. If you vomit again, Panpan will have to clean it up for you." Gu Kun continued to beat.
"I clean up the mess I make myself." Lin Ying didn't want to be looked down upon, so she found a cable and tied it to herself, and tied it to the railing of the cabin. Then she fetched a bucket of water and washed away the mess.
Anyway, the water in the yacht cabin is relatively transparent, so the dirt on the ground can be easily washed out.
"This little girl is quite stubborn. I thought she would give in after letting her vomit once." Gu Kun saw this and remained silent.
However, he will not release water to slow down the boat because of this. He is just sailing the boat properly and no longer deliberately hits the waves to play with people.
Lin Ying saw that the boat was not slow, so she didn't see anything fishy. She just felt that the situation was getting better, and thought it was because her water skills were improving rapidly.
After another hour, the ship finally approached the Lanfang Islands.
Seeing that the sea water is getting greener and clearer, and the wind and waves are getting smaller, Lin Ying feels a delicate sense of harvest in her heart.
The beautiful scenery you see after going through hardships is always particularly attractive.
"There is such a big difference in just a few dozen nautical miles. The sea in Kuching is very turbid, but here it is so pure! I have lived on the beach for more than ten years in vain!" Lin Ying opened her arms and greedily sucked in the sea breeze. She felt a contrasting sense of satisfaction after suffering from seasickness.
, making her eyes moist.
In 1994, the Internet only sprouted in Oceania and Europe. There was no Internet in Asia, so people who couldn't search for beautiful pictures might not be able to imagine the stunning beauty of the sea.
Lin Ying, on the other hand, is a typical example of being dark under the lamp. Because she lives by the sea and looks at the sea every day, she thinks the seascape is like that, dirty green and turbid.
Just like the opening sentence of Joyce's "Ulysses", "Looking at the bile-colored sea of Dublin".
Lin Ying's emotion gave Gu Pan, a freshman in high school, an opportunity to show off:
"Sister Lin, thanks to you, you got a high score in geography. You didn't know this. Where the river flows into the sea, there is a lot of sediment and humus, and the sea water surges, which easily creates natural fishing grounds. The back of this sentence doesn't mean that the water is dirty. The water is dirty.
There are no fish in Qing Dynasty. Kuching is where the Sarawak River enters the sea, so the sea water is certainly not good.”
What Gu Pan was talking about was common geographical knowledge that even a freshman in high school knew.
For example, in the geography textbook of Huaxia Middle School, it is emphasized that the cause of the "Chuanshan Fishing Ground" is that the Yangtze and Qiantang Rivers washed the East China Sea into turbidity. Chinese people who have traveled to Zhujiajian, Putuo Mountain, also know that the sea water quality of Chuanshan is real.
No, it's just a pot of yellow mud soup.
In the same way, in the Borneo part of Malaya, most of the coastlines now have poor sea views. Basically, it was not until the 21st century that Semporna was developed in the easternmost part of Sabah, close to the Philippines.
On the Malay Peninsula, there are quite a few scenic spots with beautiful sea views. They are all close to Lijiapo. They were developed relatively early and have been well renovated. However, the natural quality is not very good - because it is close to the waterway of the Strait of Malacca, there is no such thing as
You raise coral.
"The sea in Lanfang is so good, so why has no one developed tourism? If it were developed, the hotel would definitely make a huge profit." Lin Ying couldn't help but ask.
Her family owns a hotel, so she is relatively sensitive to these market conditions.
"Because there is no infrastructure, and there is no primitive accumulation of funds." Gu Kun opened a transitional resort in his previous life and has a strong say in this issue.
So he took stock clearly and sighed: "Lanzhou has less than 100,000 people, and there are no natural resources other than fisheries. The easy-to-make money is import trade. But in the final analysis, import trade is to make money from fishermen and monopolize import trade.
It's like raising taxes on fishermen. How much profit can these hard-working people squeeze out?
How can we develop tourism without modern port facilities for large cruise ships and without a large international airport? If we really want to do it well, we have to build a cross-sea bridge and highway from Kuching to Sematan.
Lay fresh water supply pipelines to meet the needs of the future surge in the tourist migrant population.
The start-up capital required for these large projects cannot be earned through fishery and import trade, and even if the Grand Duke had the capital, he would certainly not dare to gamble."
"It turns out there are so many difficulties..." Lin Ying couldn't help but ponder, and then thought of a question, "How do you know so much? Honestly, have you ever thought about becoming a tourism tycoon in Lanfang?"
"Everything is possible. Once we get ashore, let's go to the auction first." Gu Kun didn't want to answer this question for the time being.
His strength is still too small to talk about.
Lin Ying didn't ask any more questions, and the group found a nearby pier near Lanfang Court, docked the boat, and walked to the auction house without taking a taxi.
There is only one court in the country in Lanfang, and judicial auctions are all done directly in the court. Lin Ying was very surprised by how simple it was.
Gu Kun had just arrived at the place, and as soon as he entered the venue, he saw that Sa Wuyang was already waiting there.
"Brother Gu, sit here, don't worry, just hold up your sign and go through the motions if you like what you see."
