Chapter 1856 - 1858: On the Wharf
Kudo Nanting laughed and said, "What could be the matter? Didn't I say we'd meet again? I've already arrived in Moergawa."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned after hearing this: "You've already arrived?"
Kudo Nanting replied, "Yes, are you not happy about it?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "No, of course I'm happy. Which island are you on now?"
Kudo Nanting said, "I'm on the main island. This is my first time in Moergawa, and the scenery is really nice."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, where are you? This island isn't safe; I'll come to find you."
Kudo Nanting said, "Sure, I'm on the east side of the island. Can you come over?"
Ling Zhenfei glanced towards the east. According to the usual landing point, it wasn't too far away.
Ling Zhenfei took a cab and headed to the eastern pier.
Soon, he arrived at the pier and indeed found Kudo Nanting playing by the sea.
Ling Zhenfei didn't expect Kudo Nanting to be so bold, bringing only two or three people with him.
Seeing Kudo Nanting again, he seemed to have changed a lot.
Kudo Nanting also seemed very pleased.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Have you finished handling your affairs?"
Kudo Nanting replied, "Yes, if I hadn't, I wouldn't be able to come out and have fun so easily."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then let me show you around Moergawa."
Kudo Nanting replied, "No need to wander aimlessly. Let's just walk along the beach; it's very comfortable here."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Alright."
Kudo Nanting carried her high heels, with Ling Zhenfei following beside her. She walked in the water, looking very happy.
While chatting, they soon arrived at a rocky area by the sea and sat on the stones to talk.
Kudo Nanting said, "I heard the most scenic place here is your Feixue Island, right?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, if you have time, I can show you around."
Kudo Nanting said, "Not today, maybe next time. I have other matters; I might not be able to stay long, there's an issue with the Sydney project."
Ling Zhenfei said, "You're in charge now, yet you're still this hands-on."
Kudo Nanting said, "Yes, because I'm in charge, they want to put that project in Sydney, but I'm not too happy about it. The Kudo Family has money, but I feel there's no advantage to having the factory in Sydney."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "It doesn't matter where the factory is; in Sydney, the labor costs are high, and the cost of production is already expensive."
Kudo Nanting looked surprised at Ling Zhenfei and said, "I knew you were a business genius. Even before I said anything, you already understood it so clearly."
Ling Zhenfei said, "All problems are the same."
Kudo Nanting said, "Then I'll tell you, and you can analyze it for me."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Go ahead."
Kudo Nanting said, "We want to build a fish processing factory in Sydney, but considering all aspects, I'm not very satisfied."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Fish processing factories, there should be quite a few in Sydney. Plus, with high labor costs, there's indeed no advantage."
Kudo Nanting said, "So I'm planning to either withdraw or find another location to build the factory."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised after hearing this: "You want to relocate the factory, why not consider Moergawa?"
Kudo Nanting was also surprised and looked at Ling Zhenfei, saying, "Here?"
Ling Zhenfei knew asking someone to move from bustling Sydney to a remote Moergawa would surely make Kudo Nanting reluctant.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Look, first of all, Moergawa isn't too far from Sydney, and our water quality here is much better than theirs.
Plus, our labor costs are low, which could lower production costs significantly. Besides, I'm the Prince here; I have my own domain, and we can certainly discuss policies together."
Kudo Nanting said, "But there's no large port here in Moergawa; how would large fishing boats dock?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "You don't have to worry about that, we may not have one here, but Feixue Island does. Let me put it this way, the Huaxia construction team is working overtime on the build.
Not only the port but also the airport and various facilities are under construction. The future development of Feixue Island is sure to be a leading one."
Kudo Nanting was hesitating, surely pondering over some issues, as such a big decision couldn't be made impulsively.
Kudo Nanting said, "This matter is indeed urgent. I'd like more time to investigate, but time is quite limited."
Ling Zhenfei said, "If you trust me, then you can try from Moergawa. If not, build the factory directly here."
Kudo Nanting said, "The investment is too large, and I'm really hesitant right now."
Ling Zhenfei said, "This matter is indeed very important. How about this: tomorrow, come with me to Feixue Island. Have a look and maybe you'll make up your mind."
Kudo Nanting said, "This is indeed challenging. You don't have many factories here in Moergawa, let alone one as large as ours."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Let me tell you, don't underestimate Moergawa now because it's not appealing. It's just that we're in the early stages of development, but it doesn't mean it won't be popular in the future.
Moergawa is currently lacking money; otherwise, I might not even agree to a factory being built here. My goal is to develop the tourism industry here."
Kudo Nanting said, "Alright, I'll go check out your Feixue Island tomorrow."
Ling Zhenfei was secretly pleased. If he could keep Kudo Nanting's factory, it would be fantastic.
First, there'd be money, increased tax revenue, and many employment opportunities would be provided.
Once people have jobs, they'll settle down, and society will stabilize.
Kudo Nanting thought for a moment and said, "No, I still need to go back and discuss with them. How about this: I'll go back and discuss with them first, then I'll go directly to Feixue Island, and we'll meet there."
Ling Zhenfei didn't expect Kudo Nanting to be so quick, acting as soon as he thought of something.
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Ling Zhenfei simply bid farewell to Kudo Nanting.
After Kudo Nanting left, Ling Zhenfei wandered back alone, suddenly noticing an increased police presence on the road, arresting quite a few people.
Ling Zhenfei knew this was Gu Feng's doing, so the police started taking action.
These people, really, they wouldn't move without being whipped. A few lashes and then they move, it's really worrisome.
Among those arrested, there were quite a few foreign faces, and also black people.
While walking, suddenly, gunshots were heard in the distance.
