And should a situation arise that jeopardizes the safety of Misty Island, China will also provide military protection for Misty Island, shielding it with a nuclear umbrella. Additionally, to ensure the rapid construction and development of Misty Island, the state is willing to provide Dream Technology with substantial bank loans as well as support in personnel, materials, and technology.

Yan Fei was quite satisfied with the results of the negotiations with China. With his persistence, he had already secured the future independence of Misty Island. And with the strong support from the national level, the pace of construction and development on Misty Island would become even faster. At least he could now confidently accelerate construction on Misty Island without worrying about encountering any obstacles.

Yan Fei seemed to have paid a huge price, but there were no clauses that truly hindered his development. The vast Chinese market was something that Yan Fei would never give up, as it was the cornerstone for the growth of Dream Technology. So, he never even thought about relocating the enterprise that produced the immune system products to Misty Island.

Even if Yan Fei promised to open several enterprises of the same scale within China over the next five years, as long as the Technology Analysis System deduced new technologies, opening new factories in China would not be a difficult task. Moreover, with the vast Chinese market to rely on, these new factories would only develop faster, which would bring huge benefits to Yan Fei; thus, it was very worthwhile.

Allowing Chinese ships to dock at the port of Misty Island was not an issue at all. It's important to know that the North Pacific is naturally a golden shipping route, the shortest route for China to transport products to the US West Coast. Unfortunately, there are no significant islands in the North Pacific, nor any ports capable of accommodating large ships, forcing many ships to take a detour and travel thousands of extra miles to reach their destinations. This not only wastes energy and time but also increases the cost of shipping.

Therefore, once the port of Misty Island is built, it will naturally be open to the public. Not only can Chinese ships dock there, but ships from other authorized countries can also dock. With the docking of these ships, Misty Island will be able to collect docking fees, thrive economically, and enhance its popularity.

As for Chinese warships docking at the port of Misty Island for repairs and resupply, this might be somewhat difficult to implement, as it would face enormous opposition from neighboring countries. But as long as Yan Fei's stance is firm, the interference from these countries would not be a problem. After all, China had already promised not to turn it into a Chinese military base. China is Yan Fei's motherland, which is very supportive of his career development, so he will strongly support the docking of his country's warships there, but he will absolutely not allow warships from other countries to dock at Misty Island.

The reason China got involved immediately after learning that Yan Fei had acquired an island with a large amount of land and offered its support was mainly to establish a foothold for its navy fleet in the North Pacific. Misty Island's geographical location is crucial–eastward it can threaten the United States mainland, and westward, the entire nation of Japan. So once the Chinese Navy secures a foothold here, its deterrent power will be greatly increased, naturally breaking out of the second island chain blockade. Consequently, the first and second island chain blockade strategies jointly crafted by the United States and Japan against China will automatically become ineffective.

The reason the state negotiated with Yan Fei instead of bypassing him to take direct control of Misty Island lies in several considerations. Should the state forcefully nationalize Misty Island, almost all Pacific Rim countries would object to prevent China from posing a threat to their security, ultimately resulting in China's plans falling through. Therefore, considering the actual circumstances, the state refrained from taking the most extreme measures and instead allowed Yan Fei to maintain private control over the island. Although related countries would also be dissatisfied with a Chinese person like Yan Fei controlling Misty Island and might employ some underhanded tactics, the intensity of these tactics would be much less compared to direct Chinese control of the island.

Over the years, China has proven to the world that its products are inexpensive and of high quality, and China possesses the world's most comprehensive industrial production lines, capable of producing almost all products in the world, so there is no problem for Yan Fei to purchase a large amount of materials from China. Additionally, the Chinese are both hardworking and compliant with work arrangements, possessing excellent virtues, making them the construction workers Yan Fei most prefers. Therefore, when recruiting personnel, he will certainly give priority to Chinese workers.

As for the issue of Yan Fei's nationality, that's even less of a problem. As a Chinese person, Yan Fei takes pride in his identity and never considered becoming a foreigner. Otherwise, he would not have chosen Shanghai as the registration location for his company when founding it. Therefore, Dream Technology will not change its registered location and will remain a company based in Shanghai. However, Yan Fei cannot guarantee that the management personnel of his company will not change their nationality. But should he discover that any managers have changed their nationality, he will definitely remove them from their management positions and turn them into ordinary employees.

In regards to the state's request to circulate RMB on Misty Island, Yan Fei had not considered that far yet, so he agreed for the time being. Even if he eventually introduces a currency for Misty Island, he will not suppress the RMB. Instead, he will let the two currencies compete on their own merits, letting consumers choose for themselves.

Regarding the sixth paragraph, Yan Fei doesn't need reminding from the state to do so himself. On Misty Island, interpersonal communication must be conducted in Mandarin, and he will absolutely not allow languages from other countries and regions to become official languages. Moreover, Misty Island will steadfastly center around Chinese culture, and any religions that don't meet Yan Fei's requirements will not appear on Misty Island. To avoid future ethnic conflicts and issues, Yan Fei will not allow people of other ethnicities to stay long on Misty Island from the outset, as he must preserve the purity of the Chinese ethnicity.

After listening to Yan Fei recount the results of the negotiation, Lu Pingping did not appear as reassured as Yan Fei. Yan Fei is not a professional, so his considerations have limitations and he cannot see the farther-reaching developmental trends. With her rich professional experience, Lu Pingping keenly spotted several hidden maneuvers in the terms. However, for the current development of Misty Island, the results Yan Fei had achieved in the negotiations were still quite good, as they would promote the rapid development of the island.

But after seeing the relaxed Yan Fei, Lu Pingping did not inform him of the potential problems he might face in the future. After all, Yan Fei had already invested so much effort in the development and construction of Misty Island, Lu Pingping did not want to discourage him just yet. However, Lu Pingping decided that in the time to come, she would gradually perfect the rules and regulations to seal any potential loopholes for Yan Fei.
