Chapter 185 Strategically Important Places (Part 2)
Honolulu is located in the southeast corner of Oahu and extends on the riverside plain. Because the local produces sandalwood and is transported back to China in large quantities, it was made Honolulu by the Chinese.
Honolulu was a small village for Polynesians in the early days. In the eighteenth century, Chinese people first came here to develop resources, plant sugar cane, bananas, pineapples and log sandalwood, which established immortal achievements for the development and prosperity of Honolulu.
In the early 19th century, the region rose due to the sandalwood trade and as a whaling base, and was the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1850.
Because Honolulu is extremely prosperous, carriages are difficult to pass. Chen Hao and others arrived outside Honolulu City, got off the carriage and walked to the private villa of the big businessman Chen Tinggui.
Walking on the streets of Honolulu, you can only see the merchants, nobles and farmers passing by, all of whom are arrogant and energetic. It can be seen that these top-notch people in Hawaii live a very relaxed and comfortable life.
The group divided into an array and chatted while walking. After nearly half an hour, they arrived at Chen Tinggui's luxurious villa. This luxurious villa has an architectural style that combines Chinese and Western styles, and looks solemn and elegant.
Although it was only around 4 pm at this time, Chen Tinggui's house had already set up several banquets, waiting to welcome Chen Hao and others who came from afar.
After getting Chen Hao's approval, Chen Tinggui gave an order to the villa's manager and the banquet was about to officially start.
While serving the dishes, another big businessman Guan Ruimin asked lightly: "Minister Chen, what's the point of going to the United States of America this time? Are you still running for the status and living conditions of Chinese in the United States?"
"Haha!" Chen Hao smiled and said happily: "This time, he was invited by Mr. James, a member of the United States, to go to Los Angeles to negotiate investment matters.
Of course, Chen is also obliged to work hard to improve the living conditions of Chinese in the United States."
Speaking of this, Chen Hao took a sip of wine before continuing: "Since my visit to the United States last year, Chen Changshou, the US government's attitude towards Chinese people has improved. In California, many Chinese compatriots who cut off pigtails have also improved their living standards.
However, the ice is three feet long, and it will not be a day's cold! Because China has been weak for a long time and has been in a weak position in the United States, I will still be bullied and insulted by the American people. I will definitely fight for more rights and interests for my Chinese!"
"Minister Chen is really a living Bodhisattva who is compassionate to the world!" Guan Ruimin, Chen Tinggui and others praised him.
At this time, the servants in the villa brought various delicious dishes to the table.
Chen Hao sailed on the boat for more than 20 days and had no good meal. When he smelled the fragrance of the food, his index finger moved, so he stopped talking and started to taste it.
"Uncle Chen, you really enjoy it! These smooth, tender and gravy delicacies are not cooked by cooking masters invited by China, so they can't be made!" Chen Hao sat in the first seat in the chief, enjoying the dazzling array of seafood dishes on the table, and exclaimed.
Seeing that Chen Hao was not reserved at all, Chen Tinggui was still feasting there while talking to himself, and said with great pleasure: "Minister Chen is over-reputable! How can the chefs here be compared with professional chefs in China! Although we overseas Chinese have achieved some outstanding achievements, we Chinese are in a foreign country and have no absolute guarantee for the lives and property of our Chinese. I hope Minister Chen will take care of them in the future!"
Judging from Chen Hao's words and deeds and the performance of Chen Hao's subordinates, Chen Tinggui, Guan Ruimin and others, who are old and skilled, have concluded that Chen Hao is a person with outstanding temperament and carelessness.
When dealing with such people, you don’t have to do too much calculations. As long as you are honest with them, you can get the best benefits.
Therefore, Chen Tinggui, Guan Ruimin and others did not put on airs in a vague manner, but went straightforward and quickly established a good relationship with Chen Hao.
After the dinner, Chen Hao had some discussions with Chen Tinggui, Guan Ruimin and others, and then slept well in this luxurious villa for one night.
The next morning, the sun was shining and the wind was bright.
Chen Hao was dressed in plain clothes, and under the escort of Zheng Tiehao and the "Gun God" Ma Zhengyu and others, he was led by the People's Liberation Army intelligence personnel who had long been lurking here to visit some famous attractions in Honolulu.
At noon, at a Chinese restaurant in Honolulu, Chen Hao was warmly treated by local Chinese compatriots and ate some Hawaiian local specialties that he had never tasted before. Although these local specialties tasted average, Chen Hao still gave a high evaluation of what he had never eaten.
After lunch, Chen Hao went to Waikiki Beach, the most famous beach in the world, with great enthusiasm.
Waikiki Beach is huge, a mile long, like a giant's arm, surrounding the blue waves and sand here.
There are delicate and white beaches and swaying coconut trees here. The sea water is quiet and open, making it an ideal place for holiday leisure.
After Chen Hao and others arrived, they stood quietly by the beach. The sea breeze gently blew on their faces. The wind was mixed with the unique smell of sea water, which made people feel refreshed. The sea breeze also wrinkled the sea surface, and the huge coastline was inlaid with changing white laces, one layer disappeared, and another layer came up.
Some local girls took off their swimsuits and lay prone on the beach. Their backs were kissed by the sun. Their tanned skin was extremely healthy in the sun, and the soft lines of their bodies shone with the white beach.
Seeing this unexpected situation, the eyes of several beloved generals around Chen Hao suddenly lit up, and in a flash, he showed an incredible and indignant look, and violently condemned him: "These women are so inferior! In such a beautiful place, they actually did such shameless things! It's so tolerant, who is unbearable!"
If Chen Hao hadn't waved his hand to stop him, these loving generals would have run forward and had a good exchange with the naked girls.
There are many people in the sea, swimming, playing happily, and many tourists gather around the beach and play volleyball freely.
Of course, this is also a place for trendsetters to show off! They use simple surfboards made of ordinary wood to find fun on the storm.
The white seagulls land leisurely and comfortably not far away from the tourists. The seagulls and tourists enjoy the beach and sunshine together. They are filled with peace and wellness everywhere! They are filled with bodybuilding everywhere!
"This place belongs to our China!" Chen Hao murmured as he left.
