"Besides the survey workers, how many households are there on this island?"

Jiang Hua squinted his eyes and looked at the layout of the entire island.

Because the staff of Nankun Gas need to go to sea frequently for surveying, the color steel houses are built on the seaside.

Further up the hillside, you can still see some old houses scattered about halfway up the hillside.

Judging from the architectural style, these old houses are quite old, and the slogans painted on the walls have become blurry.

However, the clothes hanging outside prove that these old houses are inhabited by people.

"They are all fishermen, but those who stay on the island are basically elderly and unwilling to move. Young people rarely come back after they go out to work."

Qiao Bin pointed to a courtyard with a flag flying and said that it used to be a micro primary school. In the early years, there were more than ten students and an elderly teacher, but now it is abandoned.

"You seem to know this place very well?"

Jiang Hua looked at Qiao Bin with slight surprise.

"In order to keep an eye on Sanjing's natural resources, I lived on the island for more than three months, so I naturally know it well."

"Hey, Uncle Li, are you going to dry the fishing nets again?"

Qiao Bin smiled and raised his hand to say hello to an old man passing by with a fishing net on his back.

"It's rare that it's a sunny day today. Let's dry the fishing nets and go fishing tomorrow."

Uncle Li looks to be in his seventies, but his body is very strong and he can walk very fast while carrying a fishing net on his back.

"At your age, it's a bit dangerous to go to sea."

Jiang Hua said worriedly.

The wind and waves on the sea are ruthless, and many strong young people cannot guarantee that they will return safely after going to sea, let alone an old man like Uncle Li.

"Who are you looking down on? When I was young, I could swim back and forth in the sea even in heavy rain."

Uncle Li rolled his eyes and left angrily.

"Tsk, this stubborn old man has quite a bad temper."

Jiang Hua couldn't laugh or cry.

He just gave a kind reminder, but he didn't know he would offend the old man.

“Transportation on the island is inconvenient and the conditions are also difficult, leaving those who are unwilling to move and basically have their own weird tempers.”

Qiao Bin was used to it.

A few years ago, after the coastal economy developed, the city considered that life was too difficult and unsafe for the fishermen living on the island, so it organized a relocation.

Those who are willing to leave have already left, and those who stay are stubborn.

"If the natural gas field enters the development stage, this abandoned island will probably become lively again."

When Jiang Hua got closer, he discovered that there were quite a few old houses left on the island. However, they were far away just now and most of the houses were blocked by trees, so he didn't see them.

However, many old houses have collapsed roofs and broken doors and windows. They look like they have been abandoned for many years.

"Mr. Jiang, why are the two people you met just now missing?"

Xue Shan asked angrily.

He was talking about Chen Xiujie and Miyata Shaoxin. He saw them walking in this direction with his own eyes, but now they have disappeared.

"You should have entered the elementary school. The color steel sheds on the beach are occupied by the grassroots members of the survey team. The leaders in charge all live in the elementary school. After all, the conditions here are better."

Qiao Bin pointed to the small yard next to him.

Although this elementary school is abandoned, it used to be a school after all. The building quality is good. If you tidy it up, it will definitely be much more comfortable to live in than a colored steel shed.

At this time, the sound of propellers came from the horizon.

"Why are there still helicopters flying here?"

Jiang Hua squinted his eyes and looked at the small black dots that were getting closer and closer.

"Chen Gongchuan, the vice president of Nanhai Oil, is Chen Xiujie's second uncle. I met him last time. He is a very skillful man. He is considered the backbone of the Chen family."

Qiao Bin glanced at the official helicopter flying from a distance and said calmly.

After learning that Sanjing Products was involved with the Chen family, he conducted a thorough investigation of the Chen family's information and found out all the information on several core members of the Chen family.

"This Chen Gongchuan is very high-profile."

Jiang Hua looked at the helicopter flying directly towards the island.

When he came here, he always took a speedboat in a very low-key manner. As the vice president of Nanhai Oil, Chen Gongchuan actually traveled by helicopter, which was really too high-profile.

"Nanhai Oil has money, and Nankun Gas, which is conducting surveys here, is still a subordinate unit of Nanhai Oil."

Qiao Bin said with a sneer.

He had met Chen Gongchuan once and had a bad impression of him. He was an arrogant person and acted arrogantly.

However, although this person has an annoying personality, he is able to sit in the position of vice president of Nanhai Oil at the age of forty. He has no shortage of abilities and skills.

The higher-level unit came over for inspection. Naturally, Nankun Gas could not ignore it. Not long after, a group of people came out of the elementary school nearby. They were all in suits and ties. It seemed that they were all leaders in the company.

Everyone craned their necks, waiting for the helicopter to land.

Chen Xiujie and Miyata Shaonobu were also among this group of people. They seemed to be very familiar with the people from Nankun Gas. They were chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man next to them.

"Old Qiao, looking at this situation, it will be very difficult for us to take control of the No. 7 natural gas field."

Jiang Hua felt a little heavy.

Qiao Bin said before that the Chen family is very influential in the energy system. Now it seems that it is more than just influential. The Chen family is simply a weak figure in the energy system in the south.

"I wouldn't come to you unless I was in trouble."

Qiao Bin patted Jiang Hua on the shoulder.

At this time, Chen Xiujie turned his face and saw Jiang Hua and his group standing not far away. The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a sarcastic smile.

Standing next to him, Mr. Miyata Shonobu pretended to bow and say hello. His smile was so fake that his fat face looked particularly in need of a beating.

"These two grandsons seem to be very confident in winning the No. 7 natural gas field."

Jiang Hua was a little irritated by the other party's attitude.

After the helicopter flew over, it stopped in a relatively flat open space.

A group of people from Nankun Gas gathered around him and greeted Chen Gongchuan warmly without waiting for him to come down.

"Second uncle, thank you for making another trip. Mr. Miyata brought us a new cooperation proposal from Mitsui & Co."

Chen Xiujie raised his voice and said.

His words seemed to be said to Jiang Hua on purpose, and the meaning was very obvious, which was to make Jiang Hua retreat in spite of the difficulties.

"Old Qiao, the situation is not good. It seems that after Mr. Wu was hospitalized, Nankun Gas has completely turned to the Chen family."

Jiang Hua frowned.

If everyone at Nankun Gas is inclined to cooperate with Sanjing Co., Ltd., then he doesn’t have to worry about it and can just go home and sleep.

"Don't be too pessimistic. Chen Gongchuan doesn't have the final say on Nanhai Oil. We also have supporters within Nankun Gas."

Qiao Bin looked quite calm.

"Where are the supporters? As far as I can see, these people from Nankun Gas are all praising Chen Gongchuan."
