Chapter 18 Shut Up You
The next day.

I didn't get up until nearly nine o'clock, and I ate the green pepper beef shredded noodles cooked by my mother.

During the period, from time to time, thinking of yesterday's examination results, Su Rui changed from his usual decadence, and felt refreshed, with a sense of psychological well-being.

He considered whether he should tell his parents the news of his recovery in private.

But because I just went to the research institute for an inspection before coming to Lanai Island, after thinking about it, I feel that there are many problems that cannot be explained, and it is better to proceed step by step instead of rushing for a while.

Besides.

Su Rui also thought about whether she should go back to Los Angeles now that she has recovered, and return to the familiar circle she has lived in for more than 20 years.

Not long after this idea came into being, he was dismissed by himself.

Maybe in the future, we can live on both sides, and find a way to get back some lost businesses and friends who are a little bit estranged.

But after all, there were too many changes in the first two years, and after a few days of trying, Suri found that she liked her new life on Lanai.

Everything is slow, without the vanity, pomp and noise of California, life seems more real.

Everything in the past is a prologue.

If there were no accidents, perhaps he would not have made up his mind to come to Hawaii to start a new life.

Anyway, it's only a short four and a half hour flight from Los Angeles, and the family's private jet is now parked at Honolulu Airport, so it's quite convenient to move around...

He ate noodles and swiped his phone.

Among the many news, Suri saw a new post about Miss Lily Collins at a glance.

She is a smart girl who can listen to advice and market herself.

The last time Su Rui left a message, saying that she was Little Hepburn, Lily Collins imitated Hepburn's makeup and dress, and posted four pictures.

This post imitating Hepburn's old photos has obviously become popular.

A total of more than 30 likes have been received, and Ms. Lily Collins has also changed from a little transparent with only a few thousand followers to a new online celebrity who has received tens of thousands of followers.

She has successfully attracted many comments from celebrities.

These even include Xiao Li, who only falls in love with girls under the age of 25, who changes girlfriends faster than others, and the great director Christopher Nolan.

In this regard, it can only be said that smart people use their brains to seize opportunities easily. Su Rui smiled happily after watching it, feeling quite a sense of accomplishment as a bole.

It is already 2008.

This world has once again entered the information age that Su Rui is familiar with.

If you want to become a star to gain attention, you don't need to rely on the help of traditional media and film and television works. Internet celebrities also have a good future.

For example, the well-known Kim Kardashian, relying on an indecent action movie with scumbag quality, raked in hundreds of millions of dollars, and became a top-ranking existence in Hollywood's Beverly Hills.

As for why Su Rui knew the picture quality was bad...Of course it was hearsay.

He went on to give Lily Collins a thumbs up.

Suddenly thought of something, and opened Google to search for information about Miss Athena's family.

It can be found from a bunch of news.

That daring blond goblin is actually a proper little rich woman.

The family owns more than 20 hotel chains, and operates car rental companies, travel agencies, real estate development companies, etc., with a total worth of about [-] million US dollars.

Traditional business is different from the Internet industry that is crazily creating wealth. Being able to accumulate such a family fortune is not to be underestimated.

The main reason why Suri investigated Miss Athena's background was that yesterday, she heard that her family was running the largest hotel chain in Hawaii, so she suddenly thought of asking that girl for help, and through cooperation, she could help Lanai Island attract some tourists.

Last night he was taken aback by the numerous bills sent by Amanda's secretary.

Road repairs, construction of cowsheds and freight terminals, etc., the final payment of many bills added up to more than 4000 million U.S. dollars. Taking advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis, more than half of the profits earned by shorting U.S. stocks disappeared in an instant.

Next, the renovation of the new villa is expected to cost 600 million US dollars.

This is only the repair of some main traffic arteries on Lanai Island. Most of the places are still dirt roads and gravel roads. It will be expensive to complete the development.

Read that bill.

Su Rui finally understands why the infrastructure in the United States cannot be renovated on a large scale, not to mention the low work efficiency, and the labor cost is surprisingly high.

Living in the United States, earning dollars and spending dollars, as a wealthy state, Hawaii has nothing to do with the word "affordable". Except for the coconuts and seafood on the street, the overall price is more expensive than Los Angeles.

If you don't have any strength, you really can't afford to raise cattle and sheep.

The remaining cash flow is estimated to last until next spring. If you don’t want to find a way to open source, you will have to postpone the follow-up development of Lanai Island.

Projects such as the construction of a private airport, the creation of a second new resort hotel, the expansion of the scale of the ranch, and the purchase of fishing boats to develop marine ranches are still in the conceptual drawing stage.

In fact, there are assets. Under the premise of not wanting to use high-quality assets, there is a lack of cash in the short term.

So Su Rui didn't worry too much. After eating the noodles, he patted his belly and told his mother:
"I went to the freight terminal. The new car I bought in Honolulu has already been shipped and will arrive in a while."

"Okay, go on your own. Your dad and I will continue to go to the farm to help. I used to spend so much money on yoga and SPA, but I didn't expect to grow tomato seedlings by myself, which is more stress-free than those. No wonder my former friends like to buy suburban farms. I go on vacation every now and then."

"Mom, as long as you like it, doing it occasionally is a pastime, turning it into work may not be as interesting as it is now. Remember to protect your waist. If you really have nothing to do, teach them how to play mahjong."

His mother Li Wan smiled and said:

"Good idea, I'll buy a mahjong machine later, I already know a lot of local people, it's no problem to join the mahjong table..."

……

After calling Secretary Amanda who helped to pay, Suri came to the pier again.

A few days ago, when the cattle and sheep were transported, there were sheep dung and cow dung all over the floor, which have been cleaned up by the staff now, and there are still some traces on the ground due to the absence of rain.

When Su Rui arrived, the new car he purchased had already been neatly parked at the pier. Not only had it been specially cleaned, but the license plate had also been attached.

Others may be very excited when they see these luxury cars, but Suri, who owned a Ferrari Enzo during college, only regards them as means of transportation.

It took me a while to complete the delivery procedures, and I signed a check for the final payment and handed it to the dealer's representative.

Su Rui called Little Rock and the others, and drove away the Ford Raptor and Mercedes-Benz G500 for a test drive, and the people from the hotel also brought back two Bentley Continentals.

Ask Secretary Amanda to help drive the modified Mercedes-Benz G55 back, and Suri drives the Rolls-Royce Convertible Phantom by himself, and drives along the newly repaired asphalt road.

On the way, I happened to meet Miss Athena. This crazy girl jumped onto the road and stopped Su Rui's car. She laughed and said:
"I'm looking for you everywhere, take me to the beach to surf, give you a chance, how about putting on sunscreen for me?"

"...Shut up, you, if you don't cheat me to death, I will feel uncomfortable all over?"
