Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Samsung Heavy Industries’ Ambitious Creation—Supercavitation Technology!

After Samsung Heavy Industries announced their final response, the online debate worldwide did not come to an end. Instead, the trend seemed to be escalating further.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the invisible showdown between Samsung Heavy Industries and Jade Island.

Time gently passed under the influence of public opinion.

As the opening ceremony of the exhibition approached, more and more invited guests and shipping company officials arrived by private jet in Leicestershire.

These esteemed guests are extremely important to both the hosts and the exhibitors because they are the ultimate consumers of this grand event!

...

Leicestershire, East Midlands Airport.

A super luxurious private Boeing 767 aircraft smoothly skimmed over the airport and landed steadily.

The Boeing 767 is the most luxurious private aircraft globally, featuring rest areas, office areas, meeting rooms, bars, and kitchens - a deluxe ride exclusively owned by world-class moguls, and is hailed as a flying ”sky hotel.”

The cabin door opened slowly, and a spacious gangway extended towards the ground.

Soon, two affluent elders walked out slowly.

”Old Rockefeller, your private plane really is nice. It looks like I need to order one too, as my Boeing BBJ747-8 is seriously outdated!”

The current leader of one of the United States’ top ten family dynasties, Thomas Mellon, said to David Rockefeller beside him as he walked down.

”Oh, is that so? The Boeing Company will surely thank me for bringing such a good customer,” David Rockefeller smiled lightly and continued, ”But is it worth traveling so far just to see a ship exhibition? Thomas, I’m quite old now, and I can’t handle such long journeys.”

”Haha, David, once you see the novel ships unveiled this time, you’ll definitely thank me!” A sharp glint flashed in Thomas Mellon’s cloudy eyes.

”Really? Does the exhibition have any heavyweight products?” David Rockefeller was slightly taken aback.

”You really don’t keep up with current events. At this exhibition, our partner Isle Master Jiang will showcase his latest technological products!”

”Oh my god! That’s utterly surprising; I never realized Mr. Island Master had such influence in the shipbuilding industry. It seems our trip will be worthwhile!”

As they spoke, they were already in a private car heading towards a reserved luxury hotel.

In this way, more and more high-profile guests flocked to Leicestershire, adding fervor to the ship exhibition that has drawn global attention.

...

Leicestershire, Shilla Hotel.

Shilla Hotel, a prestigious five-star hotel brand under South Korea’s Samsung, has been extending its reach globally as business booms.

This hotel located in Leicestershire is a key project newly completed this year.

At this moment, in a luxurious suite on the top floor of the hotel, Park Renyong, the president of Samsung Heavy Industries, slowly put down the phone, a look of solemnity on his face.

He had just received a call from his homeland.

From ”Crown Prince” Lee Jae-yong, the actual controller of Samsung Group.

The person on the other end said only one sentence: If you cannot defeat Jade Island at the exhibition, then there is no need for you to return for the rest of your life!

Though the tone was calm, the coldness in the words chilled him to the bone!

At that moment, Park Renyong realized he was already on the edge of a cliff, with no way out!

He must defeat Jade Island!

...

Time slowly slipped by amidst the fiery atmosphere.

Finally, the opening day of the Leicestershire World Ship Exhibition arrived!

...

That day.

Leicestershire, Bristol Port.

Today, Bristol seemed somewhat different compared to usual; the entire port was dressed in festive attire, enveloped in a lively festive atmosphere.

Inside the port, lights shimmered brightly.

On the podium, Mr. Sandro, the director of Fincantieri, dressed in gala attire, expressed his respect to all the distinguished guests attending the exhibition and solemnly announced that the Leicestershire Ship Exhibition was officially open!

Renowned TV stations from around the world, such as the BBC from Britain, ABC from the United States, Sky TV, and major media from other countries, all gathered, pointing their cameras at the exhibitors.

Clearly, they are the true focus of this gala, as the latest products they present will be the mainstream shipping vessels for the foreseeable future.

Under the spotlight, shipyards from around the world made their grand appearances!

First came the four major European luxury cruise manufacturers: Finnish Aker Shipyard, German Meyer Shipyard, French Atlantic Shipyard, and Italian Fincantieri.

In the field of cruise manufacturing, these four shipyards monopolize the world’s cruise market. The cruise ships they produce are not only powerful but also extremely luxurious, highly favored by wealthy people worldwide.

For instance, Aker Shipyard’s ”Riva” series cruise ships are famous for their creativity and luxury, while Meyer Shipyard and Atlantic Shipyard emphasize personality and comfort.

Of course, the most renowned one is Italy’s Fincantieri Shipyard, whose ”Fairline” series cruise ships have long been recognized as the ”Rolls-Royce” of cruise ships worldwide, epitomizing the perfect fusion of Italian traditional handcrafting and modern high-end technology.

At the exhibition, each shipyard used aerial cameras to provide detailed promotional explanations to the attending guests.

Keep in mind that these guests are their potential customers, so naturally, they spare no effort.

Undoubtedly, the Leicestershire Ship Exhibition lives up to its reputation as the world’s premier event in the ship industry. Every exhibitor showcased their best products, offering a splendid performance to potential customers and viewers at home.

The new technologies, innovations, and exquisite designs exhibited successfully captivated all viewers, making everyone marvel at the rapid advancement of modern technology!

Finally taking the stage were manufacturers in the field of transport ship manufacturing.

Hua Country Ship Group, Japan Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and South Korea Samsung Heavy Industries.

In the field of transport ships, the emerging East Asian trio firmly holds half of the market share. In large transport ships, they have secured all global orders, essentially forming a three-way contest.

At this moment, Samsung Heavy Industries president Park Renyong was a bit nervous but also excited.

He knew that his moment had finally arrived!

This time, he brought the world’s most advanced shipbuilding technology, the culmination of decades of technical accumulation by Samsung Heavy Industries. He had no doubt that this technology, in the global context, is ahead of its time.

Supercavitating technology!

The dedicated crystallization of years of effort by Samsung Heavy Industries’ researchers was finally set to unveil to the world!

This concerns not only the future of Samsung Heavy Industries but also his reputation, whether he can return to South Korea, and even the national honor of the entire Republic of Korea!

It is not only his responsibility but also his mission!

Failure is absolutely not an option!
