Chapter 69

Thank you to "丨开心" for the tip! I'm asking for recommendations and favorites!!!

After having some free time, Xiaoming chatted with his brothers in the evening. He learned that the three of them had already started their companies on Jeju Island, and the results so far were quite good, which made him very happy.

Mochixue's shipping company, after its establishment, directly purchased a second-hand passenger-cargo ship from South Korea. After maintenance, it launched the route from DL Port to Jeju Port at the beginning of this month. At the same time, the travel agency he set up in DL was also thriving, especially since traveling to Jeju Island did not require a visa. Anyone with a passport could board the ship at any time. The only difference from domestic travel was the need for a passport, which made it the best destination for ordinary people who wanted to travel abroad.

From the occupancy rate of the five voyages so far, it has basically reached over 80%. In addition, the cargo ship can carry 230 standard containers, making the profit quite substantial.

Leng Wuxing's first hotel is currently under renovation and is expected to open in two to three months, which will coincide with the peak tourist season. At the same time, Leng Wuxing is now touring the island to find houses, and has already rented three suitable places. He is also in negotiations for six more, and is looking for more buildings to expand his hotel business.

Since the Spring Festival, Lin Enliang, after being promoted to vice president of the group by his father, has gained more power. For the diversified development of the Blue Group, there are many projects that can be developed on Jeju Island. Dozens of food varieties have been approved by the Jeju Island Food and Drug Administration and are now officially listed in major supermarkets on the island. Currently, they are still in the stage of building the brand. The Blue Group has also signed a preliminary investment agreement for a real estate project worth over a billion dollars in the Chinese tourist area.

Jifeng originally did not plan to continue developing the real estate market, but with the increasing population on the island and the shortage of housing, he had to reluctantly open it up on a small scale. However, after review, some of the originally planned commercial projects were directly cut by Jifeng, or the developers were asked to change their plans.

At the same time, there is a maximum price limit for commercial real estate development on Jeju Island. I can give you the land for free, or just symbolically charge a little, but you must submit your development plan for approval after paying the development deposit. If it is not approved, you can either modify it or get your deposit back, and the land will be given to someone else.

Therefore, due to this policy, it is impossible for real estate companies on the island to grow large. Jifeng never intended to let the real estate industry flourish on his island, as he did not want them to take all the money from the islanders. This is not just against the Blue Group, but against all real estate companies.

Of course, even if they develop real estate on the island, the risk is not great, and they can basically sell everything, although the profit is not very high. However, the Blue Group is different. All their building materials are transported from the mainland, giving them a clear advantage over South Korean and Japanese companies, so their profit is relatively higher. The only local material available is stone, as Jeju Island is famous for its abundance of stones. Everything else is not available.

The construction of the Jeju Grand Hotel has also started, and Jifeng often goes around to check on the progress, as it is his own business and his new home. He needs to show some concern to prevent his subordinates from slacking off.

After two weeks of emergency negotiations, the representatives of North Korea and Jeju Island in the capital of the Heavenly Empire have basically reached an agreement. This time, Jeju Island was in a favorable position, and since both parties were ethnic Koreans who spoke Korean, they did not even need a translator.

Within the limits set by Jifeng, North Korea recognized the legal status of Jeju Island, ended the hostile relationship, and even welcomed Jeju Island's capital to invest in the Kaesong Industrial Park. The island's representative finally argued and won $30 million in "ransom." The 5 submarines' crew members will be "freely" returned to North Korea, but the 5 submarines will be confiscated.

Considering that North Korea may not have so much foreign exchange, they are allowed to offset it with minerals. North Korea has coal and iron ore, and the island's representative did not take advantage of them, agreeing to purchase them at international prices and resell them to Chinese steel companies, without even bothering to transport them, as they did not need the materials.

This time, North Korea's capture of 5 submarines really angered the "Little Kim," but it also revealed to the world that they were not as powerful as they claimed. Whether they have the nuclear bombs they claim is only known to themselves. Even if their missiles can reach Jeju Island and they have nuclear bombs, they dare not really launch them, as they are fully aware that the consequences of such an action would be a severe beating from the United States and its allies.

So, he now knows it is time to make peace with Jifeng, rather than face the potential provocations from other sovereign states, which are more important than the optional Jeju Island.

At the end of March, Jifeng met the returning representative, Jin Dazhong, his secretary from the secretariat, who shares the same name as a former South Korean president but has no relation to him. He is a talented young man in his thirties, a pure Jeju Island native.

Looking at the ceasefire agreement, Jifeng smiled and nodded. At least they had won $30 million more than his bottom line. "You've worked hard. Go back and rest. You studied law, right?"

Jin Dazhong, although Jifeng's secretary, rarely saw Jifeng. Only Lin Hui was always by Jifeng's side, while the others were under Lin Hui's command. This mission to the Heavenly Empire to represent Jifeng in negotiations was also a form of training, and he was grateful for Jifeng's trust. "Yes, boss."

Jifeng's fingers lightly tapped the desk as he considered and then said, "Rest for a few days, spend some time with your family, and then find Patna and join her negotiation team to represent me in the negotiations with Indonesia."

Jin Dazhong, excited, immediately agreed, "Thank you, boss. I don't need to rest; I'll report for duty tomorrow."

Jifeng, seeing Jin Dazhong's uncontrollable excitement, smiled and said, "No problem, she's not in a hurry. Go next week. Work is important, but so is family."

After dismissing Jin Dazhong, Jifeng entered the space and put the negotiation results in the drawer of the study in the space. There is no place safer than here; no one else can enter.

Walking out of the hall, he saw two disposable space bags on the table and immediately slapped his forehead, almost forgetting about them. Inside were the complete set of equipment for a radio station, a deep-sea exploration ship, and a deep-sea oil drilling platform.

However, thinking about the dozens of meters deep sea north of Jeju Island, these things seemed a bit overkill. They would be more suitable for the South China Sea. Although this technology is leading in his world, in Thomas's shop, it is the least valuable junk, as they no longer use oil.

Rubbing his chin, he thought about the aquatic plants and fish fry that had already been introduced into Jeju Lake. The next step is to let them grow naturally, as there is no way to accelerate their growth. Now that it is spring, the grass in the pasture should also be planted. After going out, he will send it to the pasture.

From the beginning, Jifeng did not let the pasture buy grass seeds. He was very satisfied with the unknown grass in the space that can grow up to one meter high and grows very quickly. Although many of the grass seeds were eaten by the chickens, the growth speed of the grass was so fast that the chickens' consumption was negligible. He could collect the seeds and plant them in his own pasture.

He did not need to worry about the farm, leaving only the energy company. The radio station is under construction, and it will take at least until the end of the year to install the equipment. However, oil exploration cannot be stopped. He had forgotten about this before and should now catch up as soon as possible.

Turning to the market, he went to Thomas's shop. After chatting with Thomas for a while, Jifeng bought several shallow-water oil drilling platforms and asked him in detail about the location of the super-large oil field north of Jeju Island.

For just 100 dragon coins, Jifeng obtained eight shallow-water oil drilling platforms, including the accompanying oil storage tanks, and brought them back to the hall.

No wonder South Korea couldn't find oil in their waters. The depth of that oil well is really too deep. With the current deep-sea oil exploration technology, it is impossible to reach such a depth, which is 15,000 meters, far beyond the capabilities of any country.

After finishing his cultivation and returning to the hotel, he found that the timing was just right. Going to the bedroom, he indeed found Xu Xian just waking up, still in bed. The weather was gradually warming up, and Xu Xian was only wearing a thin nightgown, her chest bulging and pushing up the neckline of the nightgown. The nightgown, being a bit mischievous, had slipped up, exposing most of her white skin.

Just as he was about to reach out to touch her, Xu Xian pulled it down and giggled, "Bad husband, stop fooling around. Go order some food for me; I'm hungry." Now, Xu Xian's task is almost to eat and sleep, and when she is not sleepy in the afternoon, she usually exercises to keep herself healthy. She does not have the worry of other pregnant women who are constantly nauseous, but she seems to be always sleepy.

Sitting on the bed, Jifeng touched Xu Xian's slightly protruding belly and smiled, "Wife, do you think our daughter will also be a sleep god?"

Xu Xian, feeling happy as Jifeng caressed her belly and felt the baby growing, smiled, "It's fine if she's a sleep god, but I hope she's not as hard to wake up as Sica."

Thinking of Sica's ability to sleep standing up and be hard to wake up, Jifeng shivered and nodded in agreement, "Right, absolutely not like Sica, that's too scary."

After helping Xu Xian get up and letting her go to the bathroom, Jifeng ordered lunch for her.

(The weather is so hot, and I'm so sleepy at work, but I can't sleep on the desk [the poor monk sits outside the boss's office, and he often comes in and out]... I can't keep my eyes open. Do you believe I went to the bathroom and sat on the toilet for 15 minutes? The poor white-collar worker is really hurt...)
