Chapter 261 The Decision to Develop Sister Islands

The driver's meal was simple: half a pot of steamed rice, half a bag of cold sausage salad, and a bowl and chopsticks in a food bag.

The tent was full of puddles. The three of them washed their hands in the puddles and then dried them with towels.

Dongqing placed the cold sausage on the bed, opened the pot lid, and served everyone a bowl of rice.

The three of them squatted in front of the folding bed to eat. It was already quite good that they could eat such a meal under such difficult circumstances.

With bottled water, food, and drinks in the tent, we weren't too scared. After the meal, everyone drank a bottle of mineral water.

There was only one folding bed in the tent. After dinner, Dongqing let the two women sleep, and he took the pots and pans back to the driver's tent. His own tent was broken, so he could only stay with the driver temporarily.

The storm continued until dawn the next day before gradually subsiding.

In such an environment, meals were sporadic and everyone was already starving. Gu Yurou and Li Yuzhu went back to the yacht to cook.

Dong Qing and the driver dismantled the tent and delivered the folding bed and tent together to the yacht.

Cooking would take some time, so Dongqing took an extra-large flathead screwdriver from the toolbox, grabbed a flashlight, and stepped off the yacht, heading down the mountainside of the island.

There were many trees on the mountain, and he searched for a long time on the rocks but found nothing; they all looked like ordinary stones.

Of course, not every mountain is made up of gems, and finding a gem during the day is not easy.

Dong Qing looked up and suddenly noticed what looked like a cave halfway up the mountain. The entrance was vaguely visible among the trees and bushes, but it didn't quite look like one.

Dong Qing climbed up to the middle of the mountain and found that it was indeed a natural cave, but the entrance was very small, about 50 centimeters high and about 80 centimeters wide. You had to climb in to get in.

Dong Qing climbed into the cave. After going in for about two meters, the cave gradually rose to a height of about two meters, at which point he was able to stand up.

Dong Qing turned on his flashlight and looked into the cave. The cave was very deep, and he walked inside with the flashlight on.

As you walk further in, the space expands, and the cave walls are uneven, confirming that it is indeed a natural cave.

After walking for a long time, the cave suddenly descended downhill. He followed the slope down until he reached the end, when he could see clearly that the cave led to the sea, with the entrance almost touching the sea surface.

The entrance to the cave is very small. This natural cave is like a bag, with small openings at both ends and a large interior. Hidden by trees and bushes on a remote island, it is generally difficult for anyone to find the entrances at both ends of the cave.

He brought a UV lamp from the cabin, turned off his flashlight, turned on the UV lamp, and searched the cave. He easily found a diamond.

He used a screwdriver to pry the sapphire out of the crack in the stone. He held it in his hand and felt that it weighed at least 200 grams. A diamond of this size was already quite large.

He searched in the cave for a long time and finally found six gems, the largest weighing no more than 200 grams and the smallest about 50 grams.

He searched the cave for a long time, but could no longer find the gem.

There are definitely gems hidden in the rocks, but they need to be dug out; it's hard to find them without digging.

Finding six diamonds in such a large cave in plain sight is already quite remarkable. He decided to develop this island and excavate the mountain's treasures in the future.

He turned off the UV light, turned on his flashlight, and searched the cave for a long time. Suddenly, he found an unusual stone. He wiped off some of the dirt on the surface of the stone and found that it was a piece of jade.

This piece of jade is too big, probably weighing at least a ton. It's growing on the rock face, so it's impossible to get it out.

After searching for a long time, he found a piece of jade. He put in a lot of effort to get the jade out of the crack in the rock.

This piece of jade is not large, weighing approximately three kilograms.

He covered the large jade stone with soil again, and then climbed out of the cave with the jade stone in his arms.

Then he found another piece of jade. He really couldn't guess what kind of mineral deposits were in this mountain, but he knew that he had found a treasure mountain. He couldn't believe that Dong Qing wasn't excited at this moment.

He climbed down from the mountainside and washed the jade and gemstones in the water. Only then could he see clearly that the gemstones were bluish-white and had very clear veins, making them a high-quality piece. The jadeite was also very beautiful.

He wasn't very knowledgeable about jade and emeralds, but he could still tell the quality of gemstones; at the very least, they were all top-grade gemstones.

He couldn't take the gems back like this. Most importantly, he couldn't let the yacht driver find out. The treasure here had to be kept a secret. He couldn't let Gu Yurou know about it for the time being either. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, nor was he trying to keep it to himself, because this was no ordinary discovery.

These treasures will all belong to the company in the future. Li Yuzhu has shares in the company, and she will also have a share of these treasures.

He then examined the gemstone's quality. Although he didn't know much about gemstones, it wasn't difficult for him to tell that it was a high-quality gemstone.

Dong Qing took off his shirt, wrapped the jade and diamonds in it, stood up and walked towards the sea.

When Dong Qing returned to the yacht, his wife and Gu Yurou were still cooking in the kitchen. The driver was nowhere to be seen. After two days and two nights of this ordeal, no one had been able to sleep well, so they had probably gone back to their cabin to sleep.

He took the jewels back to his cabin and hid them under his bed.

He was filthy, so he found a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower and stepping out of the bathroom, his wife and Gu Yurou had already prepared the meal and brought it to the dining table, calling the driver out of the cabin to eat.

After the meal, the driver started the yacht and headed back.

Five hours later, back at the seaside shipyard, Dongqing temporarily stored the yacht there and then loaded his luggage into the car.

The three of them got into the car together, started the engine, and drove away from the shipyard towards the city.

After returning to the coastal city at 8 p.m., Dong Qing drove directly into a hotel and booked two rooms to stay there temporarily.

After dinner, the three of them held a small meeting. Dong Qing said, "Yu Rou, you are a senior executive in our company. Let's have a meeting now. I'm thinking of developing the sister islands. What are your thoughts?"

Li Yuzhu knew that her husband had found treasure on the island, and she wouldn't object.

Gu Yurou said, "I shouldn't object to the chairman's decision, but those two islands are too far from the sea. Do you really think they have a future?"

Dong Qing said, "Don't you think the Sister Islands have the inherent conditions for tourism development? They're also a great place for wealthy people to live."

Gu Yurou said, "Of course I've seen all of that. If the chairman thinks it's feasible, then let's develop it. I have no objections."

Gu Yurou had worked with Dong Qing for so many years and admired his work ability. Every investment project he made seemed risky, but in the end, he always succeeded. This was the main reason why she readily agreed.

The three of them finally reached an agreement and decided to develop the island.

Dong Qing then called the two shareholders to solicit their opinions.

Li Churan has this one good quality: she will never object to any decision Dong Qing makes, and Li Yuqiu will certainly not object either.

Now that the three older sisters and Fang Lin are also shareholders, I called each of them. Although they were surprised, they all agreed in the end.

The development of uninhabited islands has been finalized.
