Chapter 850: No results in 3 to 5 years

Deng Zhouyi placed his hands firmly on the leather steering wheel of the Maserati. The steering wheel seemed to come alive in his palms. As the road conditions changed slightly, the car body slid smoothly as if it was sticking to the ground.

The early morning sunlight slanted in through the brown car windows, casting mottled light and shadows on the center console.

Teng Zijing in the back row was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed sunglasses, the lenses reflecting the street scenes passing by outside the window. He leaned back in his chair leisurely, with his long legs casually crossed.

Deng Zhouyi's voice came steadily from the front: "It was a little after nine in the morning when Qi Haoyu brought Chang Miaomiao out of 9078.

According to your instructions, I asked a younger brother to implement the plan. When he came back, he said that the brother in charge of the 'ride' said,

Just a slight scratch and Chang Miaomiao fainted on the spot, his face as white as paper.

Qi Haoyu didn't rush to look for a car. He stopped a taxi without saying a word, carried the patient to the hospital, and left the car at the door without paying attention.

Teng Zijing tapped his knees with his fingertips and analyzed, "This woman seems to be quite extraordinary. Brothers, keep a close eye on her. If she does a good job, there will be a generous reward."

"Yes." Deng Zhouyi responded. Just as he was about to say something else, the cell phone in Teng Zijing's pocket suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the car.

Teng Zijing took out his cell phone, and the words "Jiang Shuo" that popped up on the screen made the corners of his mouth curl up slightly.

When he pressed the answer button, his tone was unusually cheerful: "Hello, Jiang Shuo, where are you guys?"

At the same time, on the other side of the road, Xiang Xiaowu was driving a black luxury business car skillfully, the engine making a low roar.

The car weaved through the traffic with ease, fast but steady, and rushed towards the Haikou area at lightning speed.

Jiang Shuo sat in the back seat, half of his body leaning out the window, looking at the coconut trees and coastline rapidly receding outside the window. Hearing this, he turned back and smiled at his phone:

"We'll be in Haikou in twenty minutes. Judging from your voice, you're not still staying in bed, are you?"

Teng Zijing tutted on the other end of the phone, sat up straight, and retorted, "How is that possible? That little bit of wine last night was nothing."

I had originally planned to get drunk with your little daddy, and I had specially arranged a guest room for him, but you were worried about Mr. Song and ended the drinking party in a hurry."

"Thank you..." Jiang Shuo responded.

Teng Zijing looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly. He said excitedly, "I brought some fishing gear with me today.

When we get there, I'll find a spot by the sea and show you my fishing skills. How about catching some fresh fish for lunch?"

Jiang Shuo scoffed clearly on the other end of the phone, teasing like a little adult: "You? You know how to fish? Can't you even hold the fishing rod steadily?"

"Hey, you're looking through the crack in the door, huh?" Teng Zijing was aroused by his competitive spirit and slapped his thigh and said:

"Let's have a competition later to see who catches more and bigger fish. The loser will be responsible for cleaning the fish at noon. Do you dare?"

"Who's afraid of who?" Jiang Shuo laughed even more happily. "But let me make it clear first, don't talk nonsense. The important thing is that you come here quickly."

"Okay, we'll be there soon. See you at the beach." Teng Zijing hung up the phone and raised his chin towards Deng Zhouyi. "Drive faster. Don't keep the little guy waiting anxiously."

The sound of the Maserati engine suddenly rose, like a silver lightning.

Speeding towards the Haikou area, the scenery outside the car window swept away even faster, with a sense of impatience and briskness.

The commercial vehicle driven by Xiang Xiaowu stopped steadily on the roadside shaded by coconut trees, and the tires made a slight sound as they rolled over the thin sofa.

Jiang Shuo opened the car door as fast as a deer. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he jumped forward and ran two steps.

He turned around and shouted to the car, "Little Daddy, is this the Haikou area in the bidding project?"

Jiang Chengyu got out of the car right after him, his dark brown leather shoes leaving shallow marks on the damp beach.

He walked to Jiang Shuo's side, his hands casually placed in his trouser pockets, his eyes fixed on the distant spot where the sea and sky met.

The azure sea sparkles in the sunshine, and the long coastline stretches out to both sides like a silver ribbon.

The mudflats and shallow bays are intertwined, and occasionally white seabirds fly by, leaving behind a few crisp calls.

"Yes," he said with some emotion in his voice, "After the plan is implemented, this place will be built into a comprehensive demonstration zone integrating high-end cultural tourism, cross-border trade, and marine scientific research.

Look at that shallow beach. There are plans to reclaim land and build a deep-water wharf. The area near the shore will be used to build a marine science and technology museum and a convention and exhibition center, which will be able to host the International Fisheries Expo in the future.

The land extending inland will be equipped with high-end hotel clusters and commercial pedestrian streets...If completed, it will indeed give a major boost to Kuncheng's marine economy."

Jiang Shuo's eyes lit up when he heard this. Before he could ask any more questions, the soft sand under his feet and the shells scattered among them attracted all his attention.

He cheered and ran towards the end of the beach. Soon he bent down and picked up a palm-sized fan-shaped shell. The edge of the shell was emitting a lavender rainbow glow and was dotted with milky white spots in the middle.

"Little Daddy! Look at this, it's so big and beautiful!" He shouted while holding up the shell.

I found several more with different colors, some were completely white with light brown stripes,

Some are dark green like jade polished by sea water, while others are small and delicate, with orange-red luster hidden in the spiral patterns.

"Pick some up and bring them back for Mom! She's very clever and will definitely be able to make them into beautiful ornaments. Last time, she made a wind chime out of conch shells and hung it by the window. It sounded so beautiful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Xiaowu had already taken a plain cloth bag from the car, walked quickly to Jiang Shuo and handed it to him: "Young Master, use this to put it in. Do you want me to help you find something better?"

Jiang Shuo carefully placed the shells in his hand into the bag, took the bag without looking up, and waved his hand: "No need, I'll pick them up slowly by myself, it's more interesting this way."

On the other side, Jiang Chengyu turned around and took out a roll of drawings from the car. The edges of the drawings were wrapped in kraft paper, giving off a heavy texture.

He walked slowly along the coastline, unfolding the blueprint and comparing it with his actual observations. The blueprint used different colored lines to mark the functional areas:

The dark blue area is a reserved ecological wetland, marked as "Mangrove Protection Zone";

The orange-yellow area is densely distributed with grid-like lines, marked as "commercial complex and supporting pipeline network";

An area near the dock is framed with thick black lines, with "Cold Chain Logistics Center, Floor Area Ratio ≤1.8" written next to it, and a tide table and geological exploration data attached next to it.

Xiang Xiaowu walked over to him and looked at the dense lines, legends and marked parameters on the drawing. He couldn't help but sigh:

"Boss Jiang, just looking at the complexity of this blueprint, you can tell that this project is not a simple one. Just the geological reinforcement for the early stage of land reclamation,

The laying of the underground pipe network will probably take another year or two, and the entire project won’t see results until at least three to five years.”

Jiang Chengyu nodded, and pointed at the location of the “Convention and Exhibition Center” on the drawing: “That’s why I said I’d do Master Jing a favor.

Fengteng International has a mature team in the operation of cultural and tourism projects, and their taking over can save a lot of time in the adjustment process.

At Zidong International, we focus on the terminal infrastructure and scientific research support. With a clear division of labor between the two sides, we can shorten the construction period by at least one and a half years.”

His tone was calm and businesslike, "After all, it's better for everyone if the project can be implemented sooner."

As he was speaking, the roar of an engine came from afar, and Teng Zijing's silver-gray Maserati stopped steadily next to the business car.

He pushed open the car door and strode towards the beach. A corner of his dark blue casual shirt was lifted by the sea breeze, and he was holding a black fishing bag in his hand.

As he passed by Jiang Shuo, he bent down to put down his fishing bag, looked at the shells in Jiang Shuo's bag, and asked with a smile, "You picked up so many? Are you planning to hold a shell exhibition when you go back?"

Jiang Shuo raised his head, deliberately put on a stern face and said angrily: "Big brother, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come soon, the sun will set!"

"Yes, yes, it's my fault." Teng Zijing smiled and raised his hands in surrender, "I'll go say hello to your little dad first.

Find a cool place to wait, and we'll go fishing in the reef area over there. I heard you can catch grouper there."

After settling Jiang Shuo, Teng Zijing walked quickly towards Jiang Chengyu. At this time, Jiang Chengyu and Xiang Xiaowu were standing on a slightly higher sand dune.

The drawings in their hands were trembling slightly in the wind, and the two men were pointing at a faintly visible reef on the sea and talking about something.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, for keeping you waiting." Teng Zijing approached with just the right amount of politeness in his tone.

Jiang Chengyu turned around and stretched out his hand to shake his. The warmth of his palm could be felt through his skin. “No, no, we just arrived too and were checking out the scene.”

He gestured to Xiao Wu to hand over the blueprint, "Master Jing, this is the preliminary plan made by our company's designer Meng Lisha and Yin Shihang's team.

You see, they prioritize ecological protection. This mangrove wetland will remain in its original state, with only lightweight development such as a boardwalk and a bird-watching platform.

The commercial complex adopts a "stepped-back design" with a sea-view terrace on each floor, which neither blocks the view of the coastline nor blocks the view of the sea.

As for the sewage treatment system here, we plan to adopt a dual model of 'wetland purification + artificial wetlands' to ensure that the discharged water meets fishery water quality standards."

Teng Zijing took the blueprint and ran his finger over the cross-section of the "Ocean Science and Technology Museum". The blueprint indicated that the main building would adopt a "wavy steel structure".

The exterior facade is covered with photovoltaic panels, and the interior is planned to have a "deep sea simulation laboratory" and a "children's interactive area".

He shifted his gaze from the blueprint to the sea, pondered for a moment, and said, "Meng Lisha and Yin Shihang's designs are indeed thoughtful, and they have struck a good balance between ecology and commerce.

Especially the supporting planning of this tidal power station is very forward-looking. He paused, looked up at Jiang Chengyu,

"Can I borrow this blueprint to take back? I'll have Fengteng's design team study it.

Let's see if we can make some additions in terms of cultural tourism routes and commercial investment, and strive to make the plan more complete."

Jiang Chengyu smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Of course, I've given you the land, there's no point in me keeping the drawings.

Let's go, the reef area ahead has a good view. Let's go over there to check out the actual terrain. By the way, when Jiang Shuo has collected enough shells, I'll go fishing with you for a while."

The two smiled at each other and walked side by side towards the depths of the coastline. The sea breeze swept past with a salty and humid air, blowing the corners of the drawings and the new future that this land was about to usher in.
