No wonder she reacted that way.
Normally, when people suddenly hear something like this, they would be dumbfounded, then laugh it off, thinking the person saying it must be joking.
Want to establish a company headquarters on an island?
Putting aside how bizarre the economic thinking would be to build a company on an island, can an ordinary person easily acquire an island?
This is not just about money!
Yes, there are indeed wealthy people abroad who buy islands, but what level of wealth are we talking about? Those who have reached such levels are already wealthy on a massive scale, counted among the top in the world! Buying an island wouldn't be for something as bizarre as starting a company, but simply for personal enjoyment!
Especially, when Shen Shi said this, his tone was so nonchalant.
As if he wasn't talking about buying an entire island, but just a loaf of bread called "Island" from the bakery downstairs.
What a boast!
