HLM -Chapter 1193 Bringing Some Helpers Over

The designer shook his head and said, “It’s not like that. You’re here to see our design samples. Here we have models.”

On the table beside him was a fish tank, simulating the southern end of Lake Hawaii. There was a beach, a dock extending into the lake, and even a small boat moored at the dock.

Most eye-catching was a small house near the lake. The house floated on the water, with an extremely modern design. It was made entirely of opaque glass and, from the side, shaped like the number five—maximizing space usage.

“The house itself can’t achieve perfect weight balance. See, the south side is heavier than the north because people want to enjoy the sun here, so they’ll place beds and desks,” the designer explained.

“So, the weight it can carry cannot reach full capacity. If strong winds cause an imbalance in the water foundation, it could topple!”

“Also, aside from the weight on the water surface, the foundation must also bear the weight underwater. To maintain balance, load-bearing boxes need to be installed underwater in the four directions—east, south, west, and north.”

Wang Bo interjected, “Can’t the foundation just be fixed in place?”

The designer shook his head. “If we did that, where’s the fun? Then it would be no different from a lakeside or seaside house on land.”

Eva nodded in agreement. “Wang, he’s right. What we’re making isn’t just a simple lake hotel—it’s a giant cradle.”

The designer smiled. “Exactly. Think about it—on a windy night, people stay inside, the roof opens, and they look up to see the stars while their bodies gently sway with the wind and the water. Isn’t that wonderful?”

“Add a beer and toast together—how perfect would that be?” added Na Qingyang.

Wang Bo understood and gestured for the designer to continue.

He wasn’t familiar with this designer, but he knew Lancaster well. Lancaster had found him, saying this design team was famous across Europe, especially skilled at designing buildings based on their surroundings.

Looking at it now, Lancaster had picked the right team. They had already come to Sunset Town. Once they obtained samples of the superhydrophobic microporous metal material, they began designing.

Their design time exceeded a thousand hours. By the time production started, Wang Bo would likely pay a hefty design fee—over one million euros!

Wang Bo approved of their design concept and asked, “These four balance boxes, are they water tanks?”

“Yes,” said the designer. “We’ll use some principles from submarines. The four balance boxes can submerge and surface, controlled via a computer in the house. Even in a typhoon, the house will remain balanced.”

“Normally, these four balance boxes can be used creatively. They can be made like bathrooms. With support arms, they can slide in so you can bathe inside.”

“The balance boxes will still be made of high-strength tempered glass. You can see everything in the lake while bathing—beautiful freshwater corals and little creatures.”

As the designer spoke, Wang Bo couldn’t help but feel excited—this really did sound amazing.

The designer continued: the house on the water had a master bedroom. Looking north offered an endless view of the magnificent lake; looking south, you could enjoy the lively beach scene.

Of the four balance boxes, the southern and eastern ones would connect to form a giant floating bed on the lake.

This floating bed would be a highlight. It was open-air, perfect for fishing, dining, or playing.

After explaining the layout and interior design of the hotel, the designer suggested, “Mr. Wang, I noticed your dock isn’t fully utilized. You could design a small seaplane port here.”

Wang Bo was intrigued. “How would that work?”

“Small seaplanes don’t need much space. Just designate an area from the dock. This way, the entire Twin Lake can be connected.”

Wang Bo nodded thoughtfully. Twin Lake was huge, and using planes might be overkill. But owning one or two small seaplanes could definitely become a popular tourist attraction.

He alone knew how beautiful Sunset Town looked from above. Every time he viewed the town via a model, he was mesmerized—imagine how tourists would feel seeing it for the first time.

The design was near perfect. Wang Bo ordered immediate construction. With summer approaching, they would first produce a batch of floating lake houses.

When February arrived, it would soon be New Year. This year, they would definitely celebrate it in New Zealand. Mid-month, he gave Na Qingyang, Li Xing, Li Bo, and others a long vacation to return home for the New Year.

Li Bo was the happiest. His massage skills had gained fame in New Zealand, even appearing in the New Zealand Herald. Several media outlets had featured him, and he had some recognition in the U.S. as well.

Of course, this was thanks to Oakley, who highly praised Li Bo’s massage skills. Sometimes, during boxing matches in the U.S., Oakley would invite Li Bo to give massages for several days.

Because of his expertise in rehabilitation, Li Bo’s massages were exceptionally effective. This had become a key attraction for Sunset Town.

Currently, the two most popular activities in Sunset Town were Li Bo’s massages and the Starry Wormhole experience. Naturally, Li Bo was making a fortune.

Before leaving, he asked Wang Bo if there was anything from his hometown he liked, insisting Wang Bo choose a few things to bring over.

Wang Bo habitually said, “You saw it, we… uh, sorry.”

Li Bo couldn’t see—he was blind.

He didn’t mind. Laughing, he said, “Mayor, no need to apologize. I don’t care anymore. Being a blind masseur has become my calling card.”

Indeed, New Zealanders didn’t understand Chinese massage. Blind massage was considered a form of Chinese kung fu. In some media, Li Bo had even been described as a master establishing a new school.

Sighing, he said, “Mayor, I feel reborn in New Zealand. Life has never been so interesting. It’s all thanks to you, so tell me what you want, and I’ll bring it over.”

Wang Bo said, “Why not bring some helpers from your hometown? You’re so busy every day, and students here learn slowly. You could bring helpers from home.”

Li Bo’s massage center had originally belonged to a hospital, from which he took commissions. Later, when Wang Bo founded a company, he brought Li Bo in, increasing his commissions.

Thus, the more massage workers, the more money they could earn. Wang Bo knew that the effectiveness of the massages was due to Li Bo’s rehabilitation expertise; other masseurs could also achieve results with proper guidance.
