<h4>Chapter 506: Comrades Discovered</h4>
On the other hand, Su Yang was not surprised that the middlemanpany had a partner in the area because he had already gotten Little Deeny to check on it. Most of the middlemen who were selling inds did not work for the samepany. Their organization structure was simr to a travel agency, a multi-party cooperation.
There werepanies that formed teams,panies that apanied people throughout the journey,panies that received guests at specific locations andpanies that worked together to provide services as a tour group.
It was the same for that ind’s agency. Their main business was the domestic market. After recruiting suitable customers, they would contact the local agents who bought and sold inds around the world for information.
When the customer was interested, they would send someone to fly with them to check out the ce. After confirming the purchase, they wouldplete all the procedures.
That was a universal way of cooperation.
Very soon, after Xiao Fang had contacted hispany’s partners, they sent them a 7-seater van. As Xiao Fang opened the door for Su Yang, he exined, “Usually, most customers whoe to buy an ind will bring a team of appraisers with them. There are very few people like you who would only bring a secretary with him.”
Su Yang smiled and said, “I don’t like having too many people following me. Besides... I’m buying an ind to have fun. I’m just going to buy it if I like it, so there’s no need for an appraiser.”
While the 2 of them were talking, J got into the car to check. After confirming that there were no problems, he nodded at Su Yang.
Su Yang got into the car, followed closely by J and finally Xiao Fang.
After closing the door, Xiao Fang exchanged a few words with the driver in their localnguage before returning to his seat.
Once the car started, he told Su Yang, “The hotel we’re staying at is near Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. There’s a small pier there that we can go out to sea directly. I’ve already contacted our partneringpany earlier. The ship that they’re preparing will arrive in 2 hours. Let’s go to the hotel to drop our luggages and freshen up before heading to the ind.”
Su Yang shook his head and said, “You go ahead and check into the hotel and drop your stuff. We’ve already checked into another hotel a few days ago, so we won’t be changing hotels.”
Xiao Fang nodded. That was the customer’s freedom.
Soon, the 3 of them arrived at the hotel. Xiao Fang went off to drop his luggage while Su Yang left the hotel with J.
That was his first time overseas and Su Yang felt that everything was new and interesting. The architectural style that waspletely different from his own country, the people that looked different from the people in his own country and the clothes that were too skimpy were all eye-opening for Su Yang.
He chatted with J. “Tsk tsk, look at how cool these people are dressed. Is there any difference from only wearing underwear before going out?”
J remained silent.
Hawaii was a resort and it was October at that moment which was towards the end of the holidays. Hence, there were many peopleing and going.
Perhaps because those who were in Hawaii were all swimming and ying with water, the men and women were dressed very coolly. The men showed off their muscles while the women showed off their flesh...
Su Yang and J chatted casually. “What’s the difference between a swimsuit and a bra?”
J remained silent.
Su Yang replied, “Aren’t they just 2 pieces of cloth? Why are men and women only wearing such a small piece of cloth on the beach? Why are they not shy at all? But usually, they will be shy even if there’s a little bit of underwear showing. What kind of mentality is this?”
J still remained silent.
Su Yang looked at J. J was not at a loss for words, it was merely because he did not have the intention to speak.
Su Yang shrugged. ‘Fine, I’ve brought a party pooper with me.’
After spending some time at the hotel with J, Xiao Fang called him on WeChat.
“Hello? Mr. Su, where are you? I’lle and find you.”
Su Yang looked at the ce where he was. ‘Hmm... It’s all beaches and wooden boardwalks with no signs of any buildings. I have no idea where I am right now.’
Therefore, he said, “I’m not far from the hotel, so I’ll head back now.”
Soon, the 2 of them returned to the hotel. Xiao Fang had already unpacked his things and was waiting downstairs.
‘Look at the time, it’s almost time to depart.’
Su Yang, J and Xiao Fang boarded the car and went to the small pier by the sea. There, they saw a speedboat.
Xiao Fang said, “The ind isn’t far from the coast, it’s about 40 minutes long. A speedboat might be faster, it’ll only take about 30 minutes.”
Xiao Fang’s information was reliable. Half an hourter, Su Yang arrived on the ind.
In the photos and videos, the ind was bare and ugly. After entering the ind, Su Yang realized that...’It is ugly indeed.
‘Other than the blue seawater and the tinum beach that had not been polluted, this ind ispletely useless.’
Under the guidance of the local agent, the group walked along the coast of the ind. There were not many trees on the ind. Other than some seabirds, there were no other living creatures. However, due to the climate, there were many mosquitoes.
Su Yang looked around along the coastline before climbing up a small mountain. There, he found a hot spring...
Su Yang looked at Xiao Fang in surprise when he saw the hot spring. “Is there a volcano underneath this ind?”
Xiao Fang took out the information and looked at it seriously before replying, “I don’t think so. However, this ce has not been explored professionally, so it’s hard to say.”
“Also, Mr. Su, if you have any concerns about volcanoes, it’s best not to choose Hawaii. The Hawaiian Inds are a famous active volcanic area in the world. In fact, many inds have be popr because of itsva.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘I see.’
After touring the ind twice more, Su Yang and the rest returned to the beach and watched the video taken by the drone of ces which were inconvenient to climb for Su Yang’s convenience.
After watching everything, Su Yang had a much better understanding of the situation on the ind.
He felt quite satisfied with what he had seen. In fact, he did not even care that the ind was on top of the volcanic crater. ‘At least it’s not on top of an active volcano.
‘Also... I have my system with me, so what’s there for me to be afraid of?’
However, just because he thought that way did not mean that other people thought the same way. For example, the local white middleman had brought many people to look at the ind, and he had long but given up hope on selling the ind. After all, the conditions on the ind were too poor.
Other than its geographical location, there was no fresh water, no dock, no living quarters, no nts and no animals. Therefore, it was almost impossible to transform that ind into a ce suitable for human habitation.
It was extremely difficult to even turn it into a holiday resort since it required huge amount of fundings.
Moreover... There were other problems on the ind...
When he returned, Su Yang told Xiao Fang that he was interested in the ind and wanted to buy it so that Xiao Fang could contact the seller.
As for how to purchase the ind, Su Yang and Xiao Fang had already discussed it when they were preparing to buy the ind in China. They would use the moremon method of buying the ind overseas, purchasing it through a shellpany registered overseas.
Generally speaking, because thews of each country were different, there were probably different restrictions on foreigners buying their own inds. In addition, the domestic control over foreign exchange was stricter than the taxes of 2 countries buying and selling inds. Therefore, ording to everyone’s situation, the purchasing method was often different.
For example, Su Yang’s situation was moremonly seen. He would set up an overseaspany whose shares were owned within the country. Then, he would mortgage his assets into USD and invest in overseaspanies where that particr overseaspany would make the purchase directly.
As for the registration of overseaspanies and the foreign exchange of loans from the banks, Xiao Fang had connections to handle them.
After everything was settled, Su Yang and J left the hotel and waited for the seller to arrive to start the negotiation.
In order toplete the Bronze Mission, Su Yang had watched many local Hawaiian dramas and movies. Therefore, he had a good understanding of their localnguage, nullifying anynguage barrier he might have had in Honolulu.
Walking along the wooden nkway of Waikiki Beach, Su Yang found a small shop and ordered some local delicacies. Su Yang and J sat opposite each other.
Not long after, the dishes were served. There were “Lomi-Lomi Salmon Sd”, “Poke”, “Steamed Minced Meat”, “Fried Fish Steak” and so on.
These were all rmended by Little Deeny to Su Yang.
Su Yang scooped a spoonful of lomi-lomi salmon sd. It melted in his mouth and was delicious.
‘In the localnguage, “Lomi-Lomi” means massaging. So the meaning behind this dish is sd made through a massaged salmon?
‘Hmm... I suppose that’s what it means.’
After taking a bite, Su Yang gestured for J to eat with him before he started eating himself.
Su Yang looked up and realized that J did not move at all.
‘J was one of the monsters of [Advanced Life Evolution] and is no different from a human, so he could definitely eat.
‘Moreover, he would usually eat some food such as sashimi, oysters and so on. Overall, his taste is simr to when he was a shark, seafood.
‘This time in Hawaii, I’ve also ordered seafood, a te of fried fish steak for example. But why isn’t J eating it?
‘Could there be... poison in the food?’
Su Yang stopped his knife and fork and asked J in confusion, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you eating?”
J’s face was grim as he said to Su Yang, “Master, I have discovered many of myrades.”
“Comrades?” Su Yang was stunned.” Sharks?”
J nodded. “Yes. A lot. I want to help them.”
Su Yang put down his cutlery and looked around. When he realized that no one had noticed him, he asked, “How do you want to help?”
J shook her head. “I don’t know. I just feel like they’re lost. Wandering around in the ocean with no purpose or pursuit, like the walking dead.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Aren’t animals normally like this?
‘Eat, sleep and eat again. Then, produce their offspring when theye of age and grow old...
‘How am I supposed to help them?
‘Teach them how to draw and do maths? Teach them not to eat fish?
‘Wouldn’t I get eaten first?’
Su Yang continued to stuff food into his mouth.
After he took 2 bites, Su Yang suddenly stopped.
Because he realized something was not right. He and J had only gone to that small ind today. Where did J find hisrades?
At that thought, Su Yang turned to look at J. “J, where did you find yourrades?”
J’s expression did not change. “Near our future base.”
‘So it really is near the ind!
‘But... That’s not right!
‘Why wasn’t there any information about there being sharks nearby?’
Su Yang looked at J and asked, “Are there many of them?”
J nodded. “I sensed 7 or 8.”
‘7 or 8 sharks?
‘And they’re all near the ind?’
Su Yang was surprised.
‘Sharks aren’t aquatic lives who live in packs, so why are there so many sharks near the ind?
‘Why didn’t I know about this?’
