Three days later, the auction officially began.
Chen Rui left New York, he take the flight from New York, USA to the Haiti capital Port-au-Prince.
The plane landed at the Capital Airport of Port-au-Prince.
Chen Rui walked off the plane and a middle-aged man came over.
"Mr. Chen, my name is Carter S. Wesson." The middle-aged man introduced Chen Rui himself.
Carter S. Wesson, a retired US military officer, is currently the security director of Tortuga Island Tourism Development Corporation, the chief instructor of the escort, and Chen Rui private security consultant.
"h.e.l.lo, Mr. Carter." Chen Rui walked over and shook hands with Carter S. Wesson.
"Please come with me."
Chen Rui nodded and followed Carter at the airport for about ten minutes, where he parked a helicopter.
A middle-aged man in a security uniform sits in the driver"s seat.
"Will Johnson, the former British pilot."
"h.e.l.lo." Chen Rui waved to Will.
Will Johnson also waved to Chen Rui.
Chen Rui and Carter boarded the helicopter.
Will drove the helicopter smoothly in the direction of Tortuga Island.
A few hours later.
The helicopter flew east of Tortuga Island.
Chen Rui said to Will Johnson
"Well, the helicopter is going around the east of the island. I want to see what is happening on the island now."
Will Johnson didn"t open his mouth and didn"t look back, just raised his head and made an OK gesture.
The helicopter circled the land belonging to Chen Rui in the eastern part of Tortuga.
Chen Rui looked down from the helicopter.
The island infrastructure has been completed over half a year.
A large dock was built between the two settlements of Ba.s.setene and Tetelili to accommodate large vessels.
The dirt road from the pier to the middle of the Auxplaines settlement is widened, extended and cemented.
There is a lake near the Auxplaines settlement where a water supply system is built.
In Chen Rui plan for his own land in the eastern part of Tortuga Island, Auxplaines, the central location of the eastern part of the island, will be the core of its own land.
Here, the low and tattered houses inhabited by Haitians were flattened.
A few hundred acres of Ancient Chinese Style gardens are being built.
A barracks have been built, including training grounds, guard team quarters, canteens, recreation rooms, a.r.s.enals, and other military camp facilities.
A fishing pond with an area of several tens of acres and a depth of one or two hundred meters has been built.
The construction of a small power station can basically meet the electricity consumption of the island.
A small farm and orchard were completed, and some Haiti local villagers were hired to plant vegetables and fruit seedlings in farms and orchards.
The construction of a small pasture was completed, and a group of more than 100 Angus cattle imported from the United States was grazing on a small gra.s.sland in the north.
With small farms, orchards and pastures, and fishing from the sea can basically satisfy the food supply on the island.
...
Seeing this situation, Chen Rui feels very satisfied.
In addition to the gardens, the island infrastructure has been built.
Chen Rui made a gesture to let Will fly back.
Ten minutes later, the helicopter landed on the military training ground.
In addition to the helicopters that he took, and there are three helicopters.
1 is AgustaWestland Apache Attack Helicopter, it"s cost $35 Million to buy this from the Boeing. And the 2 remaining is Mil Mi-26 Heavy Duty Transport Helicopter that cost $17 Million Each. Chen Rui buy this 3 Helicopter considering the situation on his island, maybe when he got the money from Inca Treasure, he may considering buy some more. But now, this 3 helicopter basically enough from the time being.
On the training ground, the Guards team members wore camouflage vests, trousers, and boots that were like the uniform of the US Marine Corps.
Before joining, these escorts came from all over the world, including veterans, civilians, mercenaries on the Middle East battlefield, etc. Now they have only one ident.i.ty, that is, the escorts to protect the employers Chen Rui and his land to not infringed upon.
"Attention!" Carter ordered.

"Now I will tell you about this. This is Chen Rui, Mr. Chen, your employer, the owner of this land under your feet." Carter said loudly.
"Salute!" The escort team members salute Chen Rui with the escort salute.
Chen Rui returned the ceremony.
