Chapter 1063: Testing Courage on a Cliff
"Renee took me to visit Blackstone Street and ate all the way. The food was delicious." Recently, the freight season has come again. Sodin Island receives hundreds of medium and large merchant ships every day, and the number can increase several times during the peak period. . Therefore, the commercial form on the island has begun to take shape. From the pier, you pass through the warehouse area and enter the main street. There are inns, wine shops, teahouses, theater troupes, product shops, perfume shops, walking tours, and hair salons. Various snack bars.
Lu Feiyan was a practitioner and had a large appetite, but he was full after walking half a street.
"I also saw a blue sheep at the pier. It was so fat, no, so strong, with big horns, beautifully trimmed hair, and a bronze medal hanging under its neck." She almost drooled when she saw it, but ——"Miss Lei said, that was your mount when you traveled to Bega."
"Yes, it likes Sodin Island, so I sent it there to retire." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "This sheep climbed dangerous peaks as if it were on flat ground. It helped me a lot back then."
It's just that now that he is the owner of the island, he wanders around his own one-third of an acre of land all day long. The blue sheep has no use for it, so he simply lets it play freely.
The blue sheep has a sign, and everyone on the island knows that it is the mascot of Sodin Island, and they will not take advantage of its good meat.
"By the way, your brother isn't here today?"
"After drinking on your island that day, as soon as I returned to Bailie, my brother received the order and set off overnight."
He Lingchuan was slightly surprised: "Something happened?"
In fact, he knew that Lu Qingbang had left, and he also placed an informant in the Lu family.
"It's something, not an accident." Lu Feiyan corrected, "No one can predict accidents in war."
But He Lingchuan caught the word "instruction" in her words.
The Lu brothers and sisters are already top leaders on the eastern battlefield of Bailie. Who will give them orders?
Is it Lu Zhensheng, or...?
"Miss Lu, don't you have to rush back?"
"It's not necessary yet." Lu Feiyan didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, "Your place has only been open for half a year. I heard that the rent of the store is very expensive?"
She asked in passing while shopping, and the store's answer surprised her. The rent for a five- to six-square-meter shop on the main street is equivalent to 60% of that of a popular shop in Qucheng!
Qucheng is the capital of Bailie, with a permanent population of more than 350,000. How many months has this Sodin Island been developed? Are store rents going up?
Although she did feel the coming and going of people on Soldin Island.
"In the past two harvest seasons, the golden waterway has been busy, and many guests have landed on the islands." He Lingchuan initially fell in love with the Yangshan Islands because of its superior geographical location.
Late spring, early summer, and autumn are all harvest seasons here, and the golden waterway is busy in three seasons of the year. As long as it is managed properly, Yangshan Islands will not worry about the source of tourists.
Agriculture is the foundation, but how much money can be made and how many people can be fed by farming alone? What He Lingchuan wants to develop is the commercial value here.
He has some ideas but has not put them into practice yet.
Opposite the Blade Port, Wu Tiju has been doing well. Unfortunately, the area of Blade Port is very small, surrounded by water on two sides and backed by mountains on one side. Due to its geographical conditions, it cannot expand outward. The industry is very mature but there are not many new opportunities.
Therefore, businessmen and forces with adventurous spirit and investment vision set their sights on the emerging Yangshan Islands, trying to find new business opportunities.
Hey, don't you hit it off with He Lingchuan?
Therefore, it is said that when the parasol tree is planted, the phoenix will come.
The premise is that your tree grows thick and strong enough, and it needs to be beautiful in the forest.
Lu Feiyan seemed to ask casually: "How many people are there on Sodin Island?"
He Lingchuan smiled: "Far inferior to Qucheng."
There are 350,000 people living in Qucheng, and Sodin Island certainly cannot catch up now.
Oh, this girl is not as straightforward as she seems.
Lu Feiyan asked again: "Can I buy a few shops on Sodin Island?"
“Purchases will not be open for another few months.”
The development and construction of Sodin Island has been less than a year, and He Lingchuan has no plans to sell the land and shops. How much is the land worth in a place with low passenger flow and low popularity? Selling it is a waste.
The land is just there, and the so-called "value" is additional. Maybe because of business, maybe because of passenger flow, maybe just because it is closer to dignitaries and powerful people, and it is easy to make money by being close to the water. In short, everyone agrees that it is valuable, and its price will rise.
However, today's Yangshan Islands also attract long-term business partners, such as Platinum Island, Songyang Mansion, and chambers of commerce from Qingguo, Mouguo, Yaguo, Bailie and other countries, which can also be regarded as attracting investment.
While the two were talking, another new recruit stood on the edge of the cliff.
He was very strong, but when he looked down, he swallowed hard. His feet were rooted to the stone and he could not move.
Before climbing the mountain, I didn’t realize it when I looked up from the bottom. But once I stood up, I realized that the height was so scary!
I feel dizzy after just two glances. Will I die if I jump?
The soldiers on the side started making noises, some cheering, some taunting.
After a few breaths passed, the recruit still didn't dare to jump down, and beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead.
Wan Qifeng, who was standing by, said indifferently: "You are not this material. Next one!"
Lu Feiyan looked at the braids on the back of his head and said, "Is he from Yaguo?"
She fought against Yaguo in the East Border of Bailie, and was no stranger to this unique hairstyle.
"He is from the Bailong tribe." He Lingchuan moved his chin toward Wan Qifeng. "On the day they came to apply, all of their more than 500 men passed the test on the Eight Zhang Cliff."
As a soldier, Bailong's elite soldiers all passed the hard requirements. Otherwise, He Lingchuan would not have had to spend so much time and effort to subdue them half a year ago.
The next three recruits also backed down and failed the courage test.
Lu Feiyan walked over, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked out, and saw the jagged rocks and splashing white waves below.
The drop was a full eight feet, and the timid ones would feel weak at a glance. Not to mention jumping from this height, if the posture of falling into the water is not good, they may be knocked unconscious.
If they fall on the reef, they will die directly.
The recruits standing here probably can't help imagining themselves being smashed into rotten persimmons.
She asked Wanqi Feng: "Has anyone died from falling?"
"Yes." Wanqi Feng stood with his arms folded. "Two months ago, there was one. He was unlucky and was blown onto the reef by the wind, and his brain burst."
He also exaggerated: "The waves that came up at that time were all red."
The new recruits in the queue were already nervous. After hearing what he said, several of them turned pale and backed away.
"Wow, can someone really die from falling?"
"I won't go. It's not worth it to risk my life for a few pieces of silver. It's not worth it!" Someone immediately said, "I quit!"
Once someone took the lead in giving up, more than a dozen new recruits who were already nervous suddenly became timid.
