Chapter 415 Lanai Island

After leaving Angel City and arriving at the international airport on Oahu, Ryan and Nicole did not go to the famous Waikiki Beach, but took a boat to their target Lanai Island. Before coming to the Hawaiian Islands, Ryan booked the Crescent Beach there.

Standing on the deck of the highest level of the rented yacht, Ryan used a high-power telescope to observe the distant island. Although it would cost about 300 million to 500 million US dollars to buy Lanai, Nicole became interested and he didn't mind being extravagant once.

Besides, compared to the huge depreciation of the US dollar after entering the new century, this island will only become more and more valuable.

Lanai Island is about 140 square miles and is the sixth largest island in the Hawaiian Islands. It is only sixty miles away from the famous Hunululu, and it is generally a piment-shaped duck.

There is a small town on the island with only more than 2,000 residents. The current ownership belongs to the tycoon David Murdoch and the Hawaii state government. In addition to the beautiful Crescent Beach and almost authentic scenery, it is also one of the largest pineapple production places in the world.

This island is well-known to the world, and generally because of two things: one is that it has become the main outdoor venue in Jurassic Park, and the other is that Bill Gates once held a wedding here.

Because of financial problems, David Murdoch, who is also a billionaire, had to consider selling the island property rights to cash out, and was approved by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission, which included two resort hotels, two championship golf courses and clubs, and 88,000 acres of land including 600 acres of residential development, solar power plants, parks and utility facilities.

In addition to Ryan and Nicole, there are also super rich people like Larry Ellison and Bill Gates. Ryan cannot compare with them in terms of wealth, but Ryan also has an advantage that they do not have. That is a large amount of cash.

He doesn't need to raise funds, sell shares to cash out, borrow money from banks, or even use liquidity. After selling off many IT stocks, his open funds alone are enough to acquire several such islands.

This is not the trust funds controlled through various means. Those are the means Ryan retains in the dark, waiting to give his opponent the most fatal blow in the future.

However, according to the laws of Hawaii, even if he buys the island, he can only own 98% of the property rights at most, and the remaining 2% will still be in the hands of the government.

After getting off the yacht, Nicole pulled Ryan, got on the convertible car, and turned around happily along the winding narrow roads on the island. From her expression, Ryan could conclude that the beautiful Miss Nicole Kidman was very, very interested in turning this equally beautiful island into a private territory.

"I will ask Scott to transfer the funds to your account and leave the rest to you."

When the car stopped at Crescent Beach, Ryan had already made a decision. "Don't refuse, my dear, in order to take care of my feelings over the years, you have never accepted my birthday gifts. This time, I will make up for everything in the past."

"Our competitors are two world's top rich people." Nicole didn't mean to refuse, "Then our actions will be accelerated."

Nicole also knew what their advantages were. Since the original owner was eager to cash out, he must have encountered difficulties.

In fact, Ryan knew that their competitor was actually Larry Ellison Bill Gates who was frustrated by the federal court. He had too much time to consider buying an island. The little interest he showed was probably still habitually competing with the madman. As long as his competitor surfaced, Guy Zi should be focused on going back to deal with the monopoly case.

In addition to Crescent Beach, Ryan also rented all the nearby coasts. His bodyguards would keep a close eye on every corner. If a reporter and paparazzi broke into this temporary private territory from the sea, George and others would treat them well. Ryan also wanted to try whether there were any human-eating sharks in this sea area.

“Do you need a rest?”

Walking into the beach villa, Ryan packed his luggage for the two of them, "Do you want to have a sleep first?"

"What do you want to do?" Nicole's eyes narrowed and long, and walked straight to the locker room. "I want to go swimming in the sea more than sleeping. Are you together, my dear?"

"Of course." Ryan followed in.

"Dear, this is the ladies' dressing room."

"But there is no written that men are prohibited from entering."

"Hey, my new swimsuit..."

"Nicole, I remember you bought several."

After a long time, the two of them changed into swimsuits and walked to the beach. When Ryan held up the parasol, Nicole's vicious eyes would occasionally sweep over him.

"Hey, my dear, your eyes are so bright, like..."

Before Ryan could finish his words, Nicole threw him on the beach and pressed his strong body with her slender limbs. "Believe it or not, I'll dig a sand pit here and then bury you alive."

"I don't mind if you're willing to accompany me." Ryan said, staring into her eyes.

“It’s not the time to dream.”

Nicole said this, but she lay on Ryan and gave her a sweet kiss.

After kissing the two red lips with lingering pain, Ryan pushed Nicole overturned the soft and delicate beach, picked up her slender body and ran towards the sea.

"Ryan, if you dare to throw me into the sea, I swear I won't let you in the room at night." Nicole instantly understood what he wanted to do.

"Dear, let me tell you a bad news. I have the key to every room in the villa." Ryan rushed into the waist-deep sea water, "Wow, the sea water in Hawaii seems to be unique."

As he said that, Ryan gently put Nicole down, but how could he bear to let the Australian girl be frightened?

"We compete with whom we swim faster. The loser must be in a week, listen to the winners, no matter which aspect." Nicole's suggestion was immediately recognized by Ryan, "Okay, Miss Nicole Kidman, you will definitely lose."

Both physical strength and endurance have an absolute advantage, not to mention that before he came out, he had just sent Nicole to the top in the locker room. With past experience, Australian girls should not have much physical strength.

"Wait." Nicole called out Ryan, who was ready to go, "You should have no objection to priority, ladies, right?"

"Of course." Ryan realized that something was wrong as soon as he nodded, but Nicole's words were as fast as he did. "Did you see the shark net in front? That's our goal. You can't set off when I'm halfway through."

Just as the words were finished, Nicole had swam more than ten feet away, and a crisp shout came again, "You must do it when you say it, Ryan."

"Okay." Ryan responded loudly, "Even so, Nicole, you still can't win."

Although the shark defense net was the closest place, it was hundreds of feet long, Ryan didn't believe that he could not win a woman who was about to become a soft-legged shrimp.

Well, it is more appropriate to describe it as a mermaid with a soft tail.

It was not until a long time later that Nicole's voice "You can set off" came from the sea in front. Ryan shook his arms and chased Nicole like a flying fish Thorpe possessed at this moment.

As expected, Nicole in front of him obviously slowed down and had already changed to a relatively labor-saving backstroke. The speed was really uncommon, and only those blue eyes would glance here from time to time.

No matter how she looked at it, the distance between the two sides was quickly getting closer, and Nicole also switched to freestyle.

"Damn it! His body has completely recovered." Nicole couldn't help but remember Ryan's unscrupulous look in the first half of the year.

Just as she was distracted, Ryan had already passed by and turned around and waved his hand to Nicole, "Dear, I'm going to win."

Looking at the bright smile, Nicole couldn't hate to rush up and take a few bites, but now she has to consider how to pay for the debt.

Ryan finally touched the buoy of the shark defense net, turned around and gestured to Nicole with a 'V', "Dear, from now on, in the week after the next round, you will be my slave."

"Do you still want me to be your "xinu"?" Nicole swam over and hung her whole body around his neck.

After suddenly increasing the weight, Ryan almost sinks. After taking some effort to stabilize the balance, he said, "I don't mind if you want."

"But I mind very much!" Nicole suddenly laughed and shook her head casually, "Okay, that's the end of this matter."

"Hey, this is not fair." Ryan's eyes widened.

"I said a week, but I didn't say which week it was." Nicole rolled his eyes and swam towards the beach first.

Women are born to be masters of cheating! Ryan could only follow him helplessly.

In the next few days, except for caring about the current "Pianist", Ryan focused on the fun of Nicole, the pineapple garden, small farmhouse, and standard golf championship venues, their laughter and joy.

There is also Lanai City, a town with simple people. Every evening, Ryan and Nicole would walk along several quiet streets. Even if someone recognized them, they would not come to disturb them.

"Where are we going next?" Nicole asked while walking on the quiet street.

“How about going to Oahu?”

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Nicole frowned, "I've been there many times before."

"Then let me go again," Ryan explained. "Stephen and Michael Bay are taking the Pearl Harbor crew to film on Oahu. We are both old friends, and it is unreasonable to come to Hawaii without visiting the set."

"Pearl Harbor?" Nicole showed a strange look, "Is it the big production you recommended for the heroine?"

"Miss Kate Beckinsale already has a daughter." Ryan reminded.
