Chapter 639 Return
After stepping onto Rowan Island again, Chen Chuan felt that there seemed to be more order here than before. In the distance, he could see a radio tower being built.
And on the open space on one side of the dock, a security guard in company uniform was conducting queue training for the natives in the same uniform.
This uniform has a ring-shaped logo on the back.
The middle of the ring disk is slightly bulging, like a full blue water ball, but there is an opening at the bottom, and water flows down from it, shaped like a water droplet.
This is the logo of Sino-Ocean Development Group. Everything in front of us shows that the company's influence has truly arrived on this island, and the previous rules will probably be reshaped.
He turned around and looked at the port in the distance, where an ocean liner was docked. He had booked a ticket a few days ago, and the cruise ship would take him back this evening.
So he still had almost one day left.
When he came here before, he did not visit the whole island, but just walked around the prosperous area. He had not been to Mount Nichi, which is said to have the best scenery and the highest point on the island, so he decided to visit there before returning.
Since the distance was quite long, he simply hired a carriage, took out his camera along the way and took some pictures of the beautiful scenery. Near noon, he arrived at the foot of the mountain, got off the carriage, and climbed up along the wide mountain road.
The main peak of Nicha Mountain is more than 2,000 meters high, and there are many steep and rugged mountain roads. He did not deliberately pursue speed, but walked slowly, and it took him less than half an hour to reach the top of the mountain.
He looked into the distance. The entire Rowan Island seemed to be floating on the blue sea. The outline of the island was clearly visible, and the scattered islands and reefs and green vegetation provided a rich visual enjoyment.
He picked up his camera and took pictures for a while. Then he saw a wooden bench next to him with a half-person-high safety rope in front. He walked a few steps and sat down here. He took out his water bottle and took a few sips. Then he leaned back in the chair and enjoyed the beautiful scenery here comfortably.
After sitting there for a few minutes, a man came up to him, looked at the other side of the bench, and asked, “Is this okay?
Chen Chuan took a look and saw that the man was a forty-year-old man wearing an imported suit and a sun hat, and he had the aura of a manager.
He nodded, "Whatever."
After the man sat down, he took off his sun hat and fanned himself twice, wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, then turned to look at him, smiled slightly, and extended his hand to him.
"Manager Chen, hello. Let me introduce myself. I'm Zheng Hai, the business manager for Ocean Development Group in this area. I'm currently responsible for business development on Luo Island and the surrounding islands. I didn't expect you to be here on vacation."
Chen Chuan shook hands with him and said, "Nice to meet you."
It's not surprising that the other party knows his identity, because he booked the ticket here. Although as the investigation director, he no longer needs to report his identity as a third-level fighter when traveling, if the Ocean Development Group pays a little attention to the passengers coming and going, it will not be difficult to find out his identity.
But since he was on his way back this time, it didn't matter if his whereabouts were revealed.
After Zheng Hai withdrew his hand, he also leaned back in the chair. He looked forward and waved his hand forward, as if covering the entire island.
"We plan to establish an information field here, here, there, oh... and this side..."
He pointed in several directions and said, "Deploy field creatures in these places. This will connect the island's communications and provide certain information services."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "The cost is not small."
Although field organisms do not consume algae oil and electricity, they do require high-energy nutrients, and the cost of these nutrients is not low at all.
Zheng Hai smiled and said, "Of course we won't do this on every island. The waters around Rowan Island have always been a tourist and commercial island. If we want to manage it well, maintaining public security is a must. And good public security is impossible without good communications and transportation."
He paused, "If we do all this well, Dashun's rule will be able to continue firmly here.
Of course, commercial tourism alone may not be enough. The surrounding waters are very special. I think the Canglong Company may establish a biological experiment site here in the future. These initial investments will be recovered from the returns in the future."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "A biological experiment field, like the one in the Linax Federation?"
Zheng Hai smiled and said, "No, this is our own territory from now on. We won't conduct these experiments on our own land like the Linax Federation did. Moreover, these experiments don't involve high-risk projects. We don't want to turn this beautiful island into a living hell."
At this moment, he reached into his jacket pocket, pulled out a name card, and handed it to Chen Chuan with both hands. "Manager Chen, this is my name card. If you come to this sea area again for business or vacation, you can come to me if you have any comments or needs."
Chen Chuan reached out and took it.
At this time, Zheng Hai glanced at the camera next to Chen Chuan and said with a smile: "Oh, there is also this." He took the briefcase he carried with him and took out an exquisite envelope from it.
"This is a postcard our company made featuring the scenery of the surrounding islands. This is the first edition, and only one hundred sets have been printed so far. It's very commemorative. Manager Chen, please keep one."
Chen Chuan was quite interested in this. Although it was not taken by himself, it was indeed commemorative. So he thanked it and took it.
Zheng Hai put his hat back on, stood up, and bowed, "Well, I wish you a safe journey back." After bowing again, he left.
After he left, Chen Chuan looked through the postcards.
He knew why this person came to him. As the head of investigation, he mainly investigated companies, not only independent enterprises, but also state-owned enterprises.
This time he said he was here for a vacation, but at this point, the two companies couldn't be sure whether he was responsible for monitoring the two companies, so they came to try to contact him and express their attitude.
At this moment, he suddenly thought that Dashun had more than just these two companies operating overseas, and it should have also sent troops. His cousin Nian Qian might be conducting military operations on an island at this moment.
Now that the Ferris Wheel Company has collapsed and the power of the Linax Federation is being eliminated, maybe I can come back to celebrate the New Year this year.
Meanwhile, Zheng Hai took the cable car down the mountain and then returned to his office. His assistant saw him and said, "Sir, I've packed up the information you requested."
Zheng Hai stopped and said, "Is everything inside?"
The deputy said, "Yes, including old records collected from Feiguang Island, inspection data left by the Linax Federation, and some archives of the Ferris Wheel Company."
Zheng Hai whispered something to his deputy. The deputy looked surprised, but did not question anything. He nodded and left.
Half an hour later, Zheng Hai's temporary office suddenly caught fire, followed by panicked firefighters running back and forth.
Zheng Hai and his deputy stood watching from a distance. The deputy asked in a low voice, "Sir, why?"
Zheng Hai said with emotion, "If that thing really exists in this sea area, there's no guarantee that peace will ever return here. I've put in so much work up front, finally getting things going. I don't want someone to suddenly replace me, or for something else to stop me."
The deputy felt that this reason was not sufficient, but he did not dare to ask any further questions.
Zheng Hai stood there for a while, then returned to his old house and dragged out a transmitter from downstairs. He tuned it to a secret frequency and began to send a message:
"All abnormal records have been destroyed in accordance with prior instructions. New instructions are awaited at any time. Sender: Cuttlefish. 15:10, August 20th, 1908."
Chen Chuan stayed on the mountain for more than an hour. After coming back, he did not stay on the island for long and directly boarded the return cruise ship.
At seven o'clock in the evening, after dinner, he walked out of the restaurant on the ship, sat down on the open-air lounge chair on the deck, and asked the waiter for newspapers and reports about the central city of Jibei Road in recent days.
He flipped through it and found nothing new. Most of the content was about the biological experiment invasion of the Linax Federation and the subsequent impact.
However, one piece of news caught his attention. The representative of the consortium who stayed in the central city of Jibei Road stated that the Ferris Wheel Company had certain business dealings with the consortium and signed many agreements.
Now that the Ferris wheel cannot be fulfilled due to the reasons of the Government Affairs Office, the Jibei Provincial Government Affairs Office is required to pay certain compensation to the consortium and punish the relevant personnel.
He raised his eyebrows. As far as he knew, Ferris Wheel had indeed made many business cooperation requests to the consortium, but no agreement had been reached. The consortium was probably just using this as an excuse to put pressure on the Government Affairs Office.
If there wasn't solid evidence that the Ferris Wheel was colluding with the other side, there would probably be more accusations than just these.
But it is conceivable that the municipal council will use this excuse to stir up trouble, and those companies from various countries that suffered losses during the period of the division of the shrews and do not want the government to expand its power will probably take advantage of the situation and do something.
This is not surprising. The contradiction between the Government Office and the Parliament has always existed, and this struggle will continue until one of the sides is completely overwhelmed.
but……
He flipped through it again and found that it only provided reports from the Dashun side, and there was no news about the Linax Federation. He wondered what the Linax Federation was thinking at the moment?
We'll have to find out more about this after we get back. Anyway, as the investigation manager, his job is to be responsible for this area.
Just as he was returning, in an office building in the central city of Jibei Road, Ji Xinmin from the Jingxiu School was talking on the phone with a very respectful expression.
He kept saying, "Yes, yes."
After a while, he put down the phone and said solemnly to the other two people, "The higher-ups have told us that the man might be returning to Central City in the next few days. We need to find a way to contact him again."
