White Sand Bay.
The sun is shining and the breeze is gentle.
Jiang Cheng, wearing sunglasses, lay comfortably on a beach chair, drinking coconut juice in his hand.
Baisha Bay is the name Jiang Cheng specially gave to the place where he lives now.
It is located in the western part of Emerald Island and belongs to the Angel Beach Resort Special Area in the administrative division.
The bay here is crescent-shaped, with a wide and flat beach bed and pure white and fine sand, hence the name.
Compared with other resort areas, this place has lush vegetation, fresh air and a quieter environment, creating a private space that cannot be disturbed by anyone. Coupled with the picturesque natural scenery, this place has become an extremely suitable place to live.
As early as the first day he arrived here, Jiang Cheng fell in love with this place and chose it as his settlement without hesitation.
After taking another big sip of coconut juice, Jiang Cheng took out his mobile phone and opened the Tropico APP.
Clicking on the property panel, the three-dimensional holographic projection of Emerald Island unfolds before your eyes like a scroll.
Jiang Cheng stretched out three fingers, pointed them at the western end of Emerald Island, and flicked them outwards. The Baisha Bay where he was was magnified and became clearer.
In fact, this is also a good place worth developing, but considering that he lives here, Jiang Cheng doesn't want to be disturbed for the time being.
In addition, although the environment here is comfortable and the air is fresh, there are not enough attractions for sightseeing and entertainment, so it is more suitable for building living buildings such as sanatoriums, viewing villas, and high-end hotels.
In order to promote the reputation of Emerald Island, Jiang Cheng felt that it was necessary to develop a tourist attraction that could truly catch the attention of tourists.
With this in mind, the Dream Paradise Resort seems particularly suitable.
Jiang Cheng moved his finger and zoomed in on the Dream Bay in the east of Emerald Island.
This is the core area of the Dream Paradise Resort, facing the Pacific Ocean, with gentle sea breezes, abundant fish, and endless golden beaches.
The entire beach stretches for nearly 10 kilometers. The sand is golden, fine and soft. The golden beach and the blue sky complement each other, forming a magnificent picture.
The most amazing thing is the colorful sea water in the distance. Due to the changes in light, the entire sea area presents gradually changing fantastic colors, which is magnificent and colorful.
The sea water is filled with strangely shaped coral reefs and colorful fish swimming around, which is extremely beautiful.
Overall, the Dream Paradise Resort undoubtedly has unique natural landscapes and is the most suitable resort to be developed first.
“This is it!”
Jiang Cheng immediately made the decision and selected the Dream Paradise Resort as the first location to be developed.
Developing a resort is different from building a city. It does not require a complicated three-dimensional transportation network, nor does it require complete commercial, industrial, residential and other functional areas. It only needs some necessary infrastructure and living and entertainment areas.
This way, Jiang Cheng can save a lot of money.
Although he has 10 billion US dollars, this money is the start-up capital for the construction of three main urban areas in the future. He cannot spend it all on a small resort. There will be many places to spend money in the future, and he must spend every penny wisely.
As a veteran player of business games, Jiang Cheng is well aware of the necessity of controlling expenses in advance. Every penny must be allocated reasonably, otherwise the business model will be unsustainable and will eventually lead to bankruptcy.
If you want to develop a resort, first of all, an airport and a port are necessary.
If there were no airport or port, how would tourists get here
In addition, a supporting transportation network is also indispensable, such as roads, bridges, stations, etc., as well as energy facilities, such as power plants, natural gas stations, water purification plants, as well as living and entertainment facilities, hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, parks, squares, amusement parks, etc.
After some statistics, Jiang Cheng felt his heart bleeding, this was all hard-earned money!
It is said that one does not know the cost of food, oil, salt and materials until he takes charge of the financial power. Only then did he discover that the so-called 10 billion US dollars of start-up capital was not enough to spend.
Anyway, now that we have decided to develop a resort, let’s get started!
Jiang Cheng did it as soon as he thought of it. He waved his finger and directly called up the auxiliary construction system.
Then, various 3D architectural models appeared before his eyes, dazzling him.
All buildings are divided into various categories.
According to the use function, it is divided into residential buildings, public buildings, industrial buildings, agricultural buildings...
According to the construction scale, it is divided into super large buildings, large buildings, medium-sized buildings, small buildings...
According to the structural materials, it is divided into wooden structure buildings, brick structure buildings, steel structure buildings, reinforced concrete buildings...
Under each category, there are some subcategories with corresponding permission levels. The most surprising thing is that the system also provides very user-friendly DIY services.
Jiang Cheng can freely match and combine according to his preferences, and finally form a building model that meets his psychological expectations. Of course, the cost will also increase.
The only thing that made Jiang Cheng feel regretful was that all buildings came with permission levels and could only be unlocked when reaching the corresponding island owner level.
Currently, Jiang Cheng is only at the worst Lv1, so even if he wants to build high-level and magnificent buildings, he can only sigh in despair.
However, the level of the island owner can be gradually improved, and the way to improve it is to increase the valuation of Emerald Island.
Currently, the valuation of Emerald Island is temporarily US$18.7 billion. As long as it reaches US$50 billion, Jiang Cheng can be upgraded to Lv2, and by then, buildings of the corresponding level will be naturally unlocked.
After taking a quick look at the types of buildings, Jiang Cheng focused his attention on infrastructure such as airports, ports, and roads. Once he had a rough idea in mind, he officially started the construction plan.
First, build a 4C-level airport.
According to the ICAO classification method, civil airports are roughly divided into five levels: 4F, 4E, 4D, 4C, and 3C.
Since Jiang Cheng is only a Lv1 island owner now, he can only build the worst Class C airport, which can take off and land twin-engine medium-range narrow-body aircraft such as Airbus 320 and Boeing 737.
Finally, after some DIY combination, Jiang Cheng chose a civil airport shaped like a colorful shell.
[Name]：4C civil airport
[Parameters]: Runway X2, terminal hall X1, navigation tower X1, maintenance warehouse X1, hangar X1, gas station X1, aircraft parking space X80, helicopter pad X160, ancillary facilities X1
Area: 860,000 square meters
Cost: US$27 million
[Time]: 7 days
"Nima..."
Seeing the cost of 27 million US dollars, Jiang Cheng smacked his lips and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
That’s a full 27 million US dollars!
It is enough for an ordinary family to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory, but in the blink of an eye, it will be squandered.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and clicked the build button.
"put up!"
Ding Dong!
After a sound of money rolling, 27 million US dollars were directly wiped out from Jiang Cheng's account by the system.
