309: Chapter 193 Donât joke around 309: Chapter 193 Donât joke around A world map?
Upon hearing his words, everyone seemed a bit stunned.
Why had the discussion suddenly turned to maps?
And besides, what could be different about a map?
Wasnât that map still just that same old mapâŠ
Wait, it did seem there were some differences!
Just behind Yang Yangyang, on the backdrop, within that world map, at the center of the Pacific Ocean, where there should have been nothing, a small island now appeared!
No!
To be more precise, it seemed more like a continent in terms of size!
But, wasnât that area supposed to be an open sea?
Since when did such an existence emerge?
Could it be Hawaii?
That couldnât be right, Hawaii wasnât at this location either.
The map showed that near the North American continent, there were several small islands â that was Hawaii!
Some thought they had remembered wrongly and immediately took out their smartphones to check online.
But moments later, when they saw the map displayed on the webpage, they were even more dumbfounded.
âThis, this canât be real, right?
The world map isnât supposed to look like this at all.â
Everyone found this absurd.
If there really were such an island in the middle of the Pacific, how could it have stayed hidden?
And if it were real, how come it was only being discovered now?
So this map had to be fake!
Yet, while their reason told them this, in the depths of their hearts there was another voice whispering that it was real.
Snow Crystal Group wouldnât joke about something like this.
They were no fools; in fact, they were quite smart.
By now, without needing more explanation from Yang Yangyang, they could guess that the place where they were supposed to work was this mysterious location in the center of the Pacific.
Indeed, the notion was incredible, but they had to admit, if it werenât so, how else could they explain the unusual series of events that had been presented to them thus far?
At this moment, Yang Yangyang spoke.
He scrolled the mouse, zooming in on the world map, focusing on the mysterious island that lay in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
âI believe many of you have already guessed, this island is the location where the company has arranged for your work.â
As he said this, he pointed at the circular island and continued:
âI know many of you may still have doubts, thinking that I am deceiving you.
How can such a place truly exist in the world?
If it did, shouldnât it have been discovered long ago?
How could it remain concealed until now?â
Seeing everyone wearing an expression that indeed seemed to agree, Yang Yangyang smiled lightly, then clicked the mouse, changing the scene on the screen to another setting.
It was an article that resembled a news report, with plenty of accompanying pictures and text descriptions.
The main topic was about the massive tsunami that had occurred just over a month ago.
âIâm not sure if you still remember this incident.
In July of this year, there were reports that the Ring of the Pacific experienced the largest tsunami ever recorded.
Experts predicted that it was likely caused by tectonic movementsâŠâ
Down below, a young man named Shuai Yu suddenly perked up and couldnât help but speak out:
âI remember now, Iâve seen this report before.
At that time, they said the tsunami wasnât very high, but it covered the largest area in human history, almost the entire Ring of the Pacific was affected!
I even saw an expert on a forum analyze that the source should be right in the middle of the seaâŠâ he said, pausing suddenly, then continued with an incredulous expression:
âCould it be⊠that this island was born at that time?
Was it formed by an earthquake accompanied by an underwater volcanic eruption?
But that doesnât make sense, it would most likely have formed an archipelago structure, right?
Similar to Hawaii, how could it possibly be one large piece of land like this, and even if it was, it would take years of accumulation to form an island, right�
It canât possibly have just risen straight from the seabed!?â
He wore a troubled look, and by the end of his speech, even he was startled by the thought he had just entertained.
Yang Yangyang nodded, not overly surprised, since he had already hinted at it, so it wasnât that strange for Shuai Yu to figure it out.
âExactly, Shuai Yuâs analysis is spot on.
The key point that Iâm going to tell you about indeed matches his guess, this island did rise directly from the seabed.
Its appearance was very sudden, and I canât go into specific reasons right now, but this you will learn after you sign the contract and officially join our company,â he said.
Seeing everyone looking at him with a âyeah rightâ expression, he couldnât help but touch his nose with a bit of helplessness and then said:
âI know you donât believe me, but no worries, if you join us, the truth of the matter will naturally become clear in time.
I wonât say too much for now.
All I can tell you is that we have already occupied a very important core area on this island.â
âNow is the time we need manpower for base construction.
You will be among the first batch of personnel to join the development.
As the base is built, the benefits you will enjoy will be far more than just the annual salary of several hundred thousand youâre considering now.â
The words of Yang Yangyang, like a bewitching spell, poured into the ears of all present.
Everyone was clearly aware of the benefits and value of developing a brand-new island and believed in the scene he described afterward.
They understood that if they indeed became developers of this base, they would not only add a significant chapter to their career but potentially become founding figures of the place.
By then, the rewards they would receive would indeed be far more than the annual salary of several hundred thousand, as he had said.
All present were top talents with high educational backgrounds, making it easy for them to understand what Yang Yangyang had just said.
However, precisely because of this, in their eyes, the content described by Yang Yangyang seemed more like the talk of a swindler, with a very low credibility.
Leaving aside whether they could become founding figures and receive promotions and pay raises, just considering the development of that island, if there really was a newly born island discovered in the middle of the Pacific Ocean as he said, how could it possibly be the turn of Snow Crystal Group to get involved?
Although Snow Crystal Group had some fame in Qionghua City and the surrounding areas,
compared to the real world conglomerates, there was a vast difference.
Even those conglomerates wouldnât have a say in this matter, let alone a small Snow Crystal Group.
If it truly concerned the birth of a new island, then given the current international situation, the governments would have surely taken control of that place by now, leaving no room for these capital enterprises to intervene?
