Ling Zhenfei noticed it was getting late, so he decided to rest. The next morning, he woke up quite early, as ti was precious, and he naturally needed to make so arrangents.
They had agreed on an approximate arrival ti yesterday, but with sea navigation and uncertainty about the waves, it was not possible to arrive exactly on ti.
Ling Zhenfei didn't notify anyone; only a few people were secretly following him from a distance, ready to respond quickly if anything happened.
Kudo Nanting finally arrived, bringing quite a group of people to Feixue Island.
"I thought there would be a big crowd to welco , seems I overestimated it."
Kudo Nanting said upon seeing Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "You're here to assess the situation, not to attend a welco party. There's no need for that."
Kudo Nanting smiled and said, "You nailed it. Let's just take a walk."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I've told you in advance, Feixue Island is undergoing reforms everywhere, with construction happening all around, it might be a bit chaotic."
Kudo Nanting said, "That doesn't bother . I just need to see how Feixue Island is developing."
Ling Zhenfei led Kudo Nanting around, and of course, this walk was not random; Ling Zhenfei had a purpose.
Ling Zhenfei said, "What you're seeing here is the construction of a large dock. Soon it will be able to accommodate large fishing boats and even warships."
Kudo Nanting asked, "Roughly when will this dock be completed?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "All the construction units on Feixue Island are from Huaxia. You should know about our Huaxia's reputation as infrastructure enthusiasts.
Rest assured, no matter how complex the project is, it will definitely be completed before your factory is done, so no worries there.
I promise that not just this dock, but all facilities on Feixue Island will be completed before your factory is established."
Kudo Nanting said, "It seems like I've already decided to build the factory here."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Isn't that so? You'd feel more assured building on Feixue Island."
Kudo Nanting said, "I've heard Feixue Island is having a lot of troubles now, like poor social order."
Ling Zhenfei said, "As you know, this country has just stabilized and must go through so growing pains, but my current approach is completely following Huaxia's model, aiming to beco the safest place."
As they walked, they indeed saw a large number of police officers maintaining order, in the process of collecting firearms.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Just a heads up, this is not a show for you. I didn't tell anyone you were coming."
Kudo Nanting asked, "What are they doing?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "In the past, because of the wars in Moergawa, many people had guns, but now we are collecting them. Absolutely no firearms are allowed in civilians' hands."
Kudo Nanting asked, "I heard you fired all the senior officials yesterday. Is that true?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "If they don't do their jobs well, of course, I'll fire them. If these new people don't perform, I'll fire them too, and reassemble the leadership team if needed."
Kudo Nanting smiled slightly and said, "You seem quite confident."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course I am."
They continued walking and ca to a slightly higher ground. Ling Zhenfei pointed to an expanse ahead and said, "That area is for the reserved factory land.
And it's the only place for it. All planned factories on Feixue Island will be here. Once these factories are built, there won't be more.
As you know, our main focus on Feixue Island is tourism developnt."
Kudo Nanting said, "Alright, I believe you."
"Are you agreeing to set up the factory here?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
Kudo Nanting said, "I didn't say that, specific matters still need to be discussed with everyone."
Kudo Nanting pointed to the sea, "Our ship is on the distant sponge over there, and I'll go discuss with them in a bit."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised, "Didn't expect even the Kudo Family's ship is here, though it didn't co closer."
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's fine like this too."
After taking a tour, Kudo Nanting planned to go back and discuss.
Ling Zhenfei said, "With so many people, let take you by boat."
Although there aren't many big ships on Feixue Island, there are plenty of smaller boats.
Ling Zhenfei navigated the boat, taking Kudo Nanting towards the large ship.
Kudo Nanting said, "Actually, you don't have to see off. If I can convince them, I'll set up the factory here."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Do you think your family will agree?"
Kudo Nanting said, "There might be so resistance, but I think I can convince them."
In the distance, they saw a large ship, a multipurpose comrcial vessel with the front for comrcial use and the back for cargo.
This type of ship is quite popular now, possibly belonging to the Kudo Corporation, maybe recently repurposed by Kudo Nanting after transporting goods.
This large ship is particularly safe; small-ti pirates wouldn't dare to rob it.
It also showcases the strength of the Kudo Family.
Ling Zhenfei docked near the large ship, where soone was ready to welco them.
At this point, Kudo Nanting said, "Why don't you co aboard too."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Aren't you going for a eting? Would it be appropriate for to join?"
Kudo Nanting laughed and said, "It's no big deal. I'm not asking you to attend the eting, just wait on board, so you'll know the result imdiately."
Deep down, Ling Zhenfei did want to co aboard, as Kudo Nanting ntioned. In case sothing ca up, Ling Zhenfei could find out imdiately.
Feixue Island really needs an infusion of funds right now.
Last night, Ling Zhenfei reviewed the financial reports for the past few months; Feixue Island is truly running on empty, struggling financially.
Because the infrastructure projects from Huaxia are built alongside basic projects, they haven't earned much revenue.
For instance, building a luxury hotel by the sea requires constructing foundational roads for Feixue Island.
So after building the luxury hotel, there's no imdiate paynt, but future revenues are shared.
Projects like docks are using this thod, so despite many constructions, there's been no significant inco, it's all investnts.
Once completed, these investnts will turn into profits.
But this factory is different; if you ask Kudo Nanting for revenue sharing, she wouldn't agree.
So it's about paying to set up a factory, and then paying taxes yearly.
Thus, Ling Zhenfei is keen on the Kudo Family establishing their factory on Feixue Island.
"Alright then, I'll go up for a look."
Kudo Nanting gave instructions to hand the boat over to their own people, then Ling Zhenfei climbed aboard the large ship.
This ship was indeed enormous, towering over ten stories high, and felt very stable; it was indistinguishable from being on land.
