There is no obvious change in the Novo Islands in all seasons, with temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees throughout the year. The temperature is slightly higher during the day and the temperature at night will not be too low.

There were three reclining chairs on the deck of the large freighter. Gu Kaiwen was lying in the middle, and Sun Fei and Zhang Weihai were lying on both sides, one left and one right.

Zhang Weihai is reporting details of the lagoon coral reef restoration plan to Gu Kaiwen.

"Mr. Gu, according to the latest plan, we will complete the lagoon coral reef restoration work within twelve months, so we must increase our investment." Zhang Weihai explained.

Gu Kaiwen looked up at the starry sky. The starry sky here is different from Shengqing. The sky here is very thorough and the stars in the sky can be seen with the naked eye.

"Increasing investment is not a problem. Tell me about the details." Gu Kaiwen responded.

Zhang Weihai explained, "Because the recovery time of coral reefs is limited to twelve months, we still cultivate 10 coral broken limbs per square meter of seabed area, but the specifications of coral broken limbs, for the sake of conservatism, I think that ten centimeters should be used, and multiple branches should be used."

Gu Kaiwen was stunned for a moment, and then responded, "Isn't that equivalent to taking a whole coral?"

"No, no, no, just a small branch of polyps." Zhang Weihai responded.

Gu Kaiwen frowned, "If we use this type of coral polyps broken limbs, can we find a supplier? By the way, how much does it cost to use this type of coral polyps broken limbs?"

Zhang Weihai first answered the first question, "The supplier can definitely find it, as long as..."

Gu Kaiwen interrupted Zhang Weihai, "I will first state that although I hope to complete the recovery of coral reefs in the lagoon within the specified time, I do not want the incident of demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall."

The so-called demolition of the east wall and repairing the west wall means picking all the coral reefs in other places and then bringing them to the Novo Islands.

Gu Kaiwen will definitely not be able to accept such a thing!

Zhang Weihai responded, "Mr. Gu doesn't need to worry about this. Not only will you not allow it, but my conscience will not allow it either."

"That's good!" Gu Kaiwen breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that due to the great profit, it would eventually lead to bad results.

"The price of broken limbs of this type of coral polyps is slightly more expensive, and the cost of each piece may reach 10 to 12 yuan." Zhang Weihai explained the price issue.

The price of a one-centimeter-specific coral polyps is only one yuan, but the cost price of a ten-centimeter-specific coral polyps soars to 10 yuan to 12 yuan, which is a bit huge.

"Because the coral broken limbs are larger in size, more space is required during transportation and better maintenance equipment, the transportation cost may reach 1.5 yuan to 2 yuan." Zhang Weihai continued.

"The end is labor costs. The planting plans for the broken limbs of large corals and small corals are different. The planting of broken limbs of large corals is more difficult and the planting process is more, so the labor costs may also increase to 1.5 yuan to 2 yuan." Zhang Weihai explained.

Based on the calculation, the price of one square meter has increased from the initial 5 yuan to 130 yuan to 160 yuan. This increase is very exaggerated, at least 26 times higher.

Gu Kaiwen frowned!

If the investment amount has increased to nearly 4 billion at the minimum cost, this offer seems to be twice as high as the 2 billion Zhang Weihai said?

"The total investment is about 4 billion?" Gu Kaiwen asked back.

Zhang Weihai nodded slightly awkwardly. The investment amount far exceeded what he said at the beginning. This was Zhang Weihai's expected mistake. Because last year, the large-scale bleaching of coral reefs worldwide died, the price of large-scale introduction of coral limbs this year increased by a huge increase.

In particular, the price of broken limbs of large coral polyps has increased a lot, which has led to Zhang Weihai's prediction error.

Sun Fei complained, "This error is too big!"

Zhang Weihai explained the reason and finally said helplessly, "That's nothing to do. Last year, a major disaster happened, and the time period was very short, so it really required so much investment. Of course, if Mr. Gu accepted it for a longer time, for example, three or four years, the investment would drop to about 600 million."

Zhang Weihai added, "It's just three years, more than three billion, more than ten billion a year. I don't think there is any need to save this time, right?"

To be precise, at least 1.1 billion will be saved a year!

Ninety-nine percent of the world's people can't make 1.1 billion a year!

However, Gu Kaiwen refuted without hesitation, "No, it must be executed within a 12-month period. I will solve the problem of funds. I can now take out 1.4 billion and the remaining 2.5 billion, and give me a little time."

Zhang Weihai asked back, "How long does it take for Mr. Gu to solve the problem?"

Gu Kaiwen considered it, "up to three months."

"Then there is no problem!" Zhang Weihai responded, "If Mr. Gu can solve the funding problem within three months, the restoration of the lagoon coral reefs can proceed smoothly. If... then I'm afraid it can only be suspended."

Zhang Weihai means that if Gu Kaiwen fails to solve the funding problem within three months, the restoration of coral reefs in the lagoon may be suspended.

In fact, Zhang Weihai is not optimistic about Gu Kaiwen's ability to solve the funding problem within three months.

After all, in Zhang Weihai's opinion, spending 4 billion to manage a lagoon is still a ghost place where birds can't shit. Isn't this kind of investment was wasted?

So what if this lagoon has recovered its vitality?

Not in a ghost place where birds don’t poop!

But Gu Kaiwen must persist, what else can Zhang Weihai do?

Of course, I'm following the financial backer's father!

What the financial backer’s father said is right!

"No problem, it's only three months, I can solve it." Gu Kaiwen responded confidently, "Expert Zhang, please make me a detailed plan and I will go back to raise funds tomorrow."

"Okay!" Zhang Weihai agreed and got up from the recliner, "I'll go and make a plan first."

After waiting for Zhang Weihai to leave, Sun Fei said, "Boss Gu, although I know you have money, you are too wasteful, right?"

Even though the money is not his own, Sun Fei still feels so distressed!

If Sun Fei is given 3 billion in R&D funds, Sun Fei can guarantee that he will definitely develop an extremely powerful drone.

But Sun Fei could not get 3 billion R&D funds!

"Why is it a waste?" Gu Kaiwen asked back.

Sun Fei complained, "What's wrong with two or three years late? It's just two or three years, but that's an investment gap of more than 3 billion yuan."

For ordinary people, just two or three years is not a big problem.

But for Gu Kaiwen, two or three years is a big deal!

Although the investment is far beyond the budget, the annual output of top-quality coffee can reach 3 billion even at a price of 1.2 million Xia Guoyuan per kilogram.

Besides, how could Gu Kaiwen be sold to the American rich people at the conscience of the Xia Kingdom?

Isn’t that disrespect to the rich?
