MTL - American Warehouse Taobao King-Chapter 768 【The picturesque Penn Island】
Enjoyed a classic Mediterranean seafood meal on the balcony of the hotel. Yang Yong took his guard and sat around on the breezy balcony. Tasting Italian wine and enjoying Mediterranean seafood, Old Charlie put down the knife in his hand, wiped his mouth, took a sip of wine, and said to Yang Yong and everyone present with a smile.
"Sir, I have contacted the relevant departments of the Greek government. At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, a staff member will visit you in person. Then I will take us to Payne Island for an actual inspection. If everything goes well, we should get it in a month. ownership of the island."
Yang Yong nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Old Charlie, I can rest assured that you are doing things. Now our Yang family does not consider how much this island is worth. Instead, we consider whether the natural resources of this island are satisfactory. If the environment is very good, I can sign the contract immediately, if we are not satisfied, we can only give up, after all, there is no point in buying a stone island."
In fact, buying an island and buying a house are basically the same. If you are financially difficult, the first thing you pay attention to is the price of the house. If it is a wealthy person’s house, the price can be automatically ignored. The most important thing is the environment of the house, and whether the style of the house is beautiful enough. The same is true for buying an island. Yang Yong doesn't care about money, he cares about whether the natural environment on the island is superior.
After the meal, all the entourage left, and Yang Yong took a good rest. He didn't have breakfast the next morning. The staff of the Greek government were already in place. After breakfast at 8:30, they flew to the beach, hired a small yacht, and sailed to Penn Island, ten kilometers away. Driving on the sea, Yang Yong deliberately observed it. Environmental problems of seawater.
To tell the truth, with the development of the economy in recent years, the ocean has become the hardest hit area of pollution, especially the Aegean Sea, because it is in the international shipping lanes, and various sea conditions accidents occur from time to time. What fuel leaks, waste water from plastic waste and domestic waste only happen, Yang Yong cares about the natural environment the most. If you can't take your family to live in the most polluted place, it's tantamount to chronic suicide.
The sea water is clear and the visibility reaches more than ten meters. After driving for five minutes, I haven't seen any garbage floating on the sea. Yang Yong felt quite satisfied with this. After a few minutes, Penn Island was already in sight. The place where the boat landed was on the south side of Penn Island, and the white sandy beach was very delicate. There is no human waste on the beach except for some dead branches and leaves floating on the shore. A little cleaning of this beach is the best place for the whole family to vacation.
The area of the beach can't be seen at a glance. After hearing the staff talk about it, I realized that Penn Island is surrounded by such white sandy beaches. The width of the beach reaches 60 meters, which means that the tree line is only 60 meters away. After passing through the beach, some tall local tree species come into view, but there are no coconut trees that are common in tropical beaches. Although Penn Island is close to the tropics, due to the latitude, it is impossible to produce coconuts, but there are many palm trees.
As soon as you enter the dense tree line, you can feel the temperature drop significantly, the air is fresh and the temperature is cool, walking on the slate-paved tree-lined path. It felt like the trees on both sides were a few years old and had been cleaned very well, with some grass growing in the middle of the trees, now reaching knee length.
It’s okay to stock some cattle and sheep on these forest meadows, if you want to have a good environment to stock some sika deer. It is a good choice to eat and watch. It is better than wasting it like this. It is like an extinct volcano.
So the more you go to the middle of the island, the steeper the slope, and you can hear the sound of rushing water after turning two corners. Walking through the trees, I saw that it was a clear river, and the river was meandering. The water was clear, and some small trout could be seen swimming in the water. These small trout are the most characteristic specialty of Payne Island. They are small but delicious. They are not found on other islands or on the mainland at all. They are also unique species of Payne Island.
The most surprising thing is that the clear water flows from top to bottom, and there are many shallow ponds. The roots of the trees are exposed on both sides of the river through the soil and rocks. In addition, fish swim and frogs croak in the green grass. Insects and butterflies are flying everywhere. It looks like the Garden of Eden. Such clear river water is rare these days.
What surprised Yang Yong was that there were actually many tall fig trees growing on both sides of the river. This fig is a Mediterranean specialty and is as big as an adult fist. It is very sweet, and all kinds of wildflowers grow by the river in the forest. It is really beautiful. It is the most wonderful thing to jump into the small ponds formed by the alluvial water of these small rivers on a hot day.
It is very surprising that the stone road is built on the bank of the small river, and while walking, you can enjoy the various natural environments formed by this clear river. What makes people feel the most incredible is that although the river originated from the central mountain range, it does not go straight up and down, but forms three circles around the island in a spiral shape and then pours into the sea, forming three natural barriers. .
The flagstone road is also in the shape of a spiral. Go up little by little, and the number of wild trees decreases as you go up, and some artificially planted trees begin to appear. For example, there are hundreds of olive trees in the olive grove. Thank you, the olive trees are full of treasures. Olives can be eaten and oil can be extracted. Then there are some fruit trees, but these fruit trees are too old and the species are backward.
The fruits are small and astringent and not tasty, except for those really tropical fruits due to the climate. Subtropical fruits can be planted arbitrarily on the island, and they can grow well on this island for the use of the entire island. Not bad, not bad, you can plant a fruit tree, and then you can eat fresh fruit.
Going up the mountain, the bigger the rocks are, the more hard granite rocks are in odd shapes and patterns. It is a very good landscape stone. When you follow the stone road to the central mountain range in the center of the island, you will see a large area of grass. cave. The cave is like a half coconut standing up, and inside the natural cave formed by the rock is a small two-story stone castle.
The castle faces the sun and the sea, and there are sunken caves behind it as a cover. Any violent storms cannot cause any harm to the castle. There are some climbing tiger roses and other climbing plants around the castle, and it looks very cool when the whole castle is hidden in the green plants. However, this stone castle is really too small, but in front of the stone castle there is a small lake dug out by hand. Although the area is not large, the lake is full of aquatic animals and plants.
Because this small lake is a natural reservoir, it can meet the needs of the entire island in the dry season, a lake like a reservoir that has been dug out by hand. In addition, there are hundreds of rivers in the island, and the natural springs form two water systems, ensuring that the fresh water needs of the entire island are completely free of problems.
