Chapter 499: Chapter 237: The Prelude to Major Construction Chapter 499: Chapter 237: The Prelude to Major Construction Yan Fei had previously carried out land reclamation around Misty Island, followed by the reinforcent of the dykes and desalination of the soil. Although these actions seed extensive, they were in fact only the initial step of a systemic overhaul project for Misty Island. Looking at the current progress, this first step had been completed. The next step was to dispatch construction workers to land on Misty Island for a major construction and developnt phase.
Thanks to Lu Pingping’s arrangents, the preparations for the second step were almost ready. All the construction workers had been assembled and were in Shanghai’s city area, ready to depart for the Misty Island Sea Area at any mont. anwhile, the machinery and materials Lu Pingping had procured for the construction of the port and the infrastructure on Misty Island were also in place, and they had been loaded onto the twelve vessels belonging to Dream Transportation.
Dream Technology had purchased a substantial amount of materials during this period. It would be impossible to transport them all to Misty Island with just twelve second-hand cargo ships, each with a capacity of fifty thousand tons. However, transporting these materials was not an issue for Yan Fei at all. Behind the scenes, he had already used Drone Avatars and Universal Space to transport most of these materials to Misty Island, where they were concealed in a makeshift warehouse on the island, ready to be retrieved for construction.
On the entire Earth, only Yan Fei possessed the ability to transport such a vast quantity of materials so swiftly. If this task were handed to another force, no one could achieve the expedience of Yan Fei, not even the most powerful country in the world—The United States of Arica.
On one hand, Yan Fei had completed the preparations for a large-scale landing and construction on Misty Island. On the other, under Yan Fei’s scheming, the Auxiliary Brain had begun to promote self-deprecating articles extensively on the Internet, intended to discredit Yan Fei himself.
These articles began by summarizing Yan Fei’s entire process of purchasing Misty Island and mocked him for not recognizing the value of his purchase, having bought such a desolate island that was on the brink of sinking. To have the international community acknowledge the island as his own, Yan Fei conducted many absurd and ridiculous acts, like a clown.
Then the articles claid insider knowledge about Yan Fei’s intention to develop Misty Island, and started mocking him for being ignorant and violating basic scientific principles. They criticized Yan Fei for being heedless of the facts that Misty Island was far from the mainland, that transportation was extrely inconvenient, and the island was continuously sinking, yet he insisted on pouring massive investnts into developing this useless, desolate island.
Finally, the articles began comnting on Yan Fei’s actions. They questioned whether his early success had caused him to lose his sanity, as he was ready to pour huge sums of money into the bottomless pit of Misty Island. If Dream Technology really had so much spare money, it would be better to invest in charity. From this, they concluded that Dream Technology, under Yan Fei’s leadership, had peaked, and under his reckless command, it was about to face its Waterloo and collapse into bankruptcy.
Additionally, in other articles, the authors posed and ridiculed the idea that Yan Fei was engaging in land reclamation around Misty Island. They doubted Yan Fei’s ability to create land from this remote island and questioned his sanity, suggesting that he was delusional and advising him to seek psychiatric help.
With these self-deprecating articles published by the Auxiliary Brain leading the charge, those whose interests had been compromised by Dream Technology’s growth beca active. They began sharing the disparaging articles about Yan Fei, while also writing their own pieces to join the assault on Yan Fei, aiming to sar his reputation and make consurs stay away from Dream Technology’s products. Even if they knew such actions wouldn’t dent Yan Fei in the slightest, they threw themselves into the fray, revealing how desperately Dream Technology had backed them into a corner.
Under Yan Fei’s clandestine strategy and with the full thrust of these enemies, the whole world beca aware of the news that Yan Fei was secretly developing Misty Island. They learned of his boastful claims of turning Misty Island into the most prosperous private island in history. Through the analysis of so-called experts, people believed Yan Fei was encountering colossal difficulties in his obstinate developnt of Misty Island, and because he couldn’t bear losing face, he resorted to rampant, exaggerated promotions to prevent ridicule.
Everyone thought that the news of Yan Fei developing Misty Island was fake news, reinforced by another piece of evidence: satellite images still showed dense fog over Misty Island, obstructing a clear view of what lay beneath, although it seed likely there was no significant change from before.
It’s worth noting that while the satellites couldn’t see the changes under the fog of Misty Island, they could detect the presence of ships in the nearby territorial waters. In the waters surrounding Misty Island, not a single large cargo ship had approached for an entire year. Not even fishern’s boats had co near the island. Without ships to transport materials to Misty Island, Yan Fei couldn’t possibly effect any kind of change or develop large tracts of land there. With this evidence, the entire world was convinced that Yan Fei was bluffing and lying.
