Chapter 26: Senriiwa

After flying for a while, the helicopter finally reached Qianliyan. However, Liu Qinglong didn't let the helicopter land directly. Instead, he let the helicopter fly around the island over Qianliyan, and let Xiao Peng observe Qianliyan carefully.
Qianliyan is actually not too small, probably more than ten square kilometers. The island is U-shaped and can be said to be a natural haven.
Most of the area on the island is covered by woods. This is the windbreak forest planted by the garrison on the island. After so many years, it has become a dense forest. On the side of the wharf, there is an open space, which is the barracks of the coastal defense garrison. The helicopter landed at the heliport in the camp.
After Xiao Peng got off the helicopter, he began to look around the strange environment.
Qianliyan has been abandoned for too long, and the scene before Xiao Peng's eyes is a ruin.
All the bungalows on the island, this is the original military barracks, have been battered by wind and rain for many years, but now they are left in ruins. Even the roofs of some houses are gone, some roofs are still there, but the glass is broken and turned into natural bird nests.
There is still a large piece of farmland behind the barracks, but it has been left deserted for too long. This should be the private land reclaimed by the garrison on the island. Xiao Peng also saw a few apple trees and peach trees, as well as vines that were unmaintained but grew wildly. This should be the masterpiece of the original officers and soldiers stationed on the island.
On the beach by the shore, there are some damaged fitness equipment placed horizontally and vertically. This should be the place where the garrison trained.
However, Xiao Peng was satisfied with one thing, that is, the pier at Qianliyan was a gravity pier. The quay wall of the wharf is made of concrete, which is strong and durable, looks well preserved, and basically does not need maintenance.
At the front of the pier, a lighthouse was erected.
With the rapid development of science and technology waiting for the establishment of a comprehensive navigation system with radar sensors, DGPS systems, and automatic ship identification devices. The role of the lighthouse has been weakened, and now more is left over, is a feeling. To Xiao Peng’s surprise, the lighthouse is still working,
Seeing Xiao Peng’s puzzled expression, Liu Qinglong introduced:
Qianliyan used to be a military port after all, so there is no problem with the quality of all the infrastructure here. In 1988, a submarine cable was built and it was completely resolved. It’s difficult to use electricity on the island. Although the garrison has been withdrawn, the power supply is still no problem. On the other side of the terminal, there are four 30-ton buried oil storage tanks for storing heavy oil. Even if the power supply appears If it fails, you can also directly use diesel generators to supply power."
"The strange building over there was a radar station. Later, it was dismantled and the radar was demolished. But you can build your own monitoring radar to protect the fishing grounds."
After hearing Liu Qinglong's words, Xiao Peng looked confused: "Detection radar? Should it be military supplies? Is there a civilian monitoring radar?"
Liu Qinglong smiled: "Of course, it's just that the detection distance is relatively short, and the accuracy is not that high. But it's sufficient for use as a fishing ground."
This is good news. Xiao Peng doesn't believe that the warning buoys on the edge of the fishing ground can stop people.
Liu Qinglong continued his unfinished introduction: "Qianliyan has a total area of ​​12.4 square kilometers. More than 95% of the island is forest. Although Qianliyan is an offshore island, freshwater resources are abundant. There is a lake on the west side of the island. At this point, the food here is sufficient, and it can be said to be a paradise for birds. Many migratory birds will pass by here when they migrate."
Speaking of this, Liu Qinglong seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, there are hot spring resources on this island."
"Hot springs? How come there are hot springs on this island?" Xiao Peng looked puzzled.
Liu Qinglong laughed: "Qianliyan is a volcano. Is it strange to have hot springs?"
Xiao Peng was taken aback: "The volcano? Will it not erupt?"
"Volcanoes are divided into active volcanoes, extinct volcanoes, and dormant volcanoes. According to scientists, Qianliyan is an extinct volcano, but there are also dormant submarine-volcanoes in the deep sea zone nearby." Liu Qinglong explained.
Xiao Peng listened with a cold sweat: "Are you asking me to contract here as a neighbor to the volcano?"
Liu Qinglong was speechless: "There are active volcanoes in Hawaii and all resorts. What are you afraid of dead volcanoes?"
The Hawaiian Islands, located in the center of the North Pacific, are actually composed of 132 islands. The entire archipelago was formed by volcanic eruptions, including the Eight Big Island and one hundred and twenty-four small islands. The largest of these is Hawaii Island. There are two active volcanoes on the island: Mauna Loa and Kravia. Cravia volcano erupts almost every year. The Mauna Loa volcano is even more funny. The world's highest observatory is set up on the summit of Mauna Loa volcano. This is a famous tourist attraction in Hawaii.
Liu Qinglong looked at the dilapidated barracks, and suddenly his tone began to heavier: "After all, this is an island in the distant sea. It will experience several typhoons every year. These barracks have been struck by typhoons for so many years and have become what they are now. These barracks were very beautiful. Qianliyan can only be described by red tiles, green trees, blue sea and blue sky."
Xiao Peng listened with a look of confusion: "Mr. Liu, how much preparation have you done? How do you understand this?"
Xiao Peng's doubts are not baseless. There is a magistrate who is so concerned about the outsourcing of a distant sea island. This situation is very abnormal.
Liu Qinglong seemed to fall into the memory. After a while, he answered Xiao Peng’s question: "When I was young, I was a soldier here. I stayed on this island for eight years."
"This island bears my youth. My best eight years have been on this island. I am familiar with every reef and every tree here. It hurts me to see it deserted like this today. This island is dead, I want to watch it come alive again, Xiao Peng, I believe you can do it."
Xiao Peng heard a look of confusion: "There must have been people who wanted to contract here before. Why do you care about me so much? How do you believe I can do it?"
Liu Qinglong showed a complicated smile: "There are two reasons for this. First, the few people who were interested in Qianliyan in the past almost all wanted to develop tourism. Before they arrived on the island, they thought about how to log wood and cultivate. And you are engaged in mariculture and understand the importance of environmental protection."
"Secondly, the cost of contracting Qianliyan is not high, but the subsequent investment is not a small number. I also confess to you, it may be higher than the cost of contracting Qianliyan. If you do not have enough funds, then it is I'm not worried about the economic strength of others. I have seen your economic strength with my own eyes."
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly after hearing this sentence: "Mr. Liu, you mean that I have a lot of money and people are stupid? I don't have any money now."
Liu Qinglong took the call and smiled and said, "I don't have it now, and there will be soon, right?" It seems that not only Xiao Peng himself, but also County Magistrate Liu, is waiting for the news of the Hong Kong Island auction.
Of course, Liu Qinglong is fully aware of the reason why the iron is hot, and continued: "Actually, you contract here for five million, and the price is very cheap. Five million, the right to use the island for fifty years, only one hundred thousand a year. Only a few thousand yuan a month, and with such a large sea area. The most important thing is that the infrastructure on the island is so good. Not to mention, this gravity dock alone can save you a lot of money, right? "
Liu Qinglong's words are not nonsense. The wharves are divided into gravity wharves, high-piled wharves and sheet pile wharfs. The most common ones are high-piled docks and gravity docks. Like Xiao Peng's small wharf on Zhujie Island, it is a simple wooden high-piled wharf. In comparison, the high-piled wharf has a simple structure and can carry larger loads. It also saves materials and can be constructed on almost any terrain. Of course, there are disadvantages, that is, the durability is relatively poor, easy to damage, and it is troublesome to repair, and the shock resistance is relatively poor.
And these shortcomings, there are no traces on the gravity pier. The biggest feature of a gravity wharf is that it is durable and can withstand greater loads. The maintenance cost is very small compared to the high-piled wharf.
Look at Qianliyan's gravity pier, which has been around for decades. But there was hardly any damage. More critically, this wharf was built as a military port and is fully capable of berthing large-tonnage ships. This gravity wharf of hundreds of meters, including the cost of raw materials, is not worth hundreds of thousands of millions.
So far, Xiao Peng is quite satisfied with Qianliyan. There are fresh water, hot springs, electricity, docks, oil depots, and large forests, not to mention the large contracted sea areas. It can be said that everything is very good here except for the accidental traffic.
As for the small fishing boat belonging to Xiao Peng's house, it would take at least ten hours to bump the sea from Qianliyan to the ferry terminal.
The more Xiao Peng looked at Qianliyan, the more he liked it, but he looked at Liu Qinglong puzzledly: "Major Liu, I don’t understand more and more now. The conditions here are so good, with mountains, water, hot springs, and such a large beach with beautiful sea views. Why don’t those rich people contract here, whether it’s to build a big villa or build a resort, why don’t you have a good Thousand Mile Rock?"
The answer Liu Qinglong gave made Xiao Peng confused: "Because they are younger than you."
"What's the answer?" Xiao Peng looked at Liu Qinglong with a look of doubt.
Liu Qinglong laughed: "They are not as young as you, so they weigh the benefits after thinking before doing things. What they are best at is to get the most benefits with the least effort. And investing in this Qianliyan, the least effort will exceed their budget."
Xiao Peng was confused: "Those rich people are not willing to invest, how can you be sure I will invest?"
"It's also because you are young." Liu Qinglong's tone is unquestionable: "You are more aggressive, even if the goal is the stars and the sea, maybe it can be achieved?"
Xiao Peng looked at Liu Qinglong: "Liu County Magistrate, I am a young man, and I don’t know how to bend so much. Just tell me what you have to say. My goal is not the stars and the sea. I think of my wife and children. Hot Kangtou, I am not so ideal."
Xiao Peng turned out to be a business man, and the soul chicken soup was cooked every day, but Liu Qinglong would not forget about it with just a few words. It's better to go straight!
