【Chapter 1146】 First Arrival in Wahu (Ask for Subscription!)
When Oahu gradually appeared in people's sights, it was already the fourth day after the "Ping An" left Los Angeles, and everyone was excited to see the outline of the island becoming clearer and clearer.
Although everyone on the 'Ping'an during these four days is good to eat and drink, there are all kinds of fun entertainment facilities, and even dolphins and whales can be seen to spice up the boring sailing life, but the sea journey is limited after all, and people who are accustomed to land life are more affectionate about 'down-to-earth'.
Although Oahu is only the third largest island in Hawaii, it has a great sense of intimacy in the eyes of those who have watched the vast sea for four days in a row.
Speaking of Oahu, perhaps the vast majority of Chinese people don't know where this is, speaking of Honolulu, the largest city on the island and the capital of Hawaii, it is estimated that more than 9 percent of Chinese people are also unknown.
But when it comes to Honolulu's other name with a strong Chinese style, Honolulu, the Chinese people immediately understand.
The origin of Honolulu is because all kinds of sandalwood are produced here and shipped to China in large quantities, which is why it is called 'Honolulu' by Chinese people. Of course, another important reason why the Chinese people are impressed by this place name is that it was once one of the origins of the democratic revolution, and the father of the country, Mr. Sun, once carried out revolutionary activities here, using the power of overseas Chinese to raise funds and fight for the overthrow of the decadent former dynasty.
Therefore, for every Chinese person, there is a very special feeling here, and the Chinese people who come here will have a strange feeling.
Of course, for those familiar with the history of World War II, the word "Pearl Harbor" represents a turning point in World War II, and the outbreak of the Pacific War heralded a fundamental change in the direction of the war.
Today, the enormous impact of Honolulu's major events that shaped the course of history is fading and disappearing, and it has become one of the most famous tourist destinations in the United States and the world.
More than 10 million visitors from all over the world come to Hawaii each year, and most of these guests stay for more than five days, making for Hawaii's amazing and highly thriving tourism industry.
As the largest city in the state of Hawaii and the capital of more than 80% of the population, Honolulu is a major player in the state of Hawaii.
As the largest port city in Hawaii, Honolulu has some of the best port facilities, and even the most top-of-the-line cruise ships have large enough berths to be a problem for the Ping An to berth.
The arrival of the 'Ping An' immediately caused a stir in the harbor, and even the locals, who are accustomed to all kinds of luxury yachts, were impressed by the 'Ping'an's huge hull and sci-fi livery).
Some people who know something about fashion and news quickly recognized the identity of the 'Ping An Number', and many people have begun to take photos with their mobile phones and upload them to self-media accounts on the Internet.
Two days ago, the "Ping An" caused a huge sensation just after leaving Los Angeles, and many good men who had no capital to trade had already set their sights on this goal, but unfortunately the whereabouts of the "Ping An" disappeared from public view, and many people's preparations were disappointed.
Now, the 'Heian' has successfully arrived on Oahu, which means that the brothers in the Pacific hinterland have not been able to get their wish.
It's normal to think about it, although the 'Ping'an' has a huge hull, but the average speed of 30 knots can only catch up with some speedboats, and it is very difficult to pursue. In addition, the 'Ping'an' is equipped with military-grade high-power radar and sonar, and it is really not easy for ordinary ships on the road to find it.
What's more, most of the security team and crew members on the 'Ping An' are retired officers and soldiers from the elite units of the Chinese Empire and the American Empire, and it has become their instinct to prevent all kinds of accidents, and it is not too difficult for the 'Ping An' to appear in Honolulu unscathed.
After the 'Ping'an stopped', Xiao Feng and his family rushed down, and the Honolulu branch of the Four Seasons Hotel had already prepared a convoy to meet them at the port, and everyone didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery of the port, so they boarded the car and left.
Located near Waikiki Beach, Four Seasons Hawaii is a five-star hotel in Honolulu and Hawaii as a whole, popular with dignitaries, celebrities and cultural and sports superstars.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the Century Hotel's Presidential Suite offer sweeping views of the blue ocean and the prestigious Waikiki Beach.
Waikiki Beach is one of Oahu's most prestigious tourist attractions, receiving no less than 3 million visitors a year, and a grand beach wedding here has become one of the dreams of young ladies around the world.
As a superstar, Xiao Feng naturally doesn't have to worry about not being able to book the best suite, and even because he is the global image spokesperson of Four Seasons, the headquarters of Four Seasons Hotel has vacated three suites for him.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when they checked into the hotel, and Xiao Feng and the others had no interest in continuing to go out to play, but stayed in the room to rest, but fell jet lag.
There is a three-hour time difference between Hawaii and Los Angeles, and although Xiao Feng's family spanned the distance of three time zones in four days, the time difference has little effect on them. However, because the quality of sleep on the ship has decreased, it is necessary to take a good rest now.
When the old man and the children fell asleep, Xiao Feng, Xu Mengyao and Xiao Qiang all came to the living room, ready to meet with the island brokers and representatives who had been waiting for a long time.
Half a month later, Xiao Feng needs to be invited to attend the final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and he hopes to be able to set the general direction of the island acquisition during his stay in Hawaii, and the rest of the details can be handled by Ma Xiaotian and others.
Prior to this, Xiao Feng had only learned about the basic situation of the islands for sale through the Internet and fax, and needed to know more details.
After all, buying an island can cost tens of millions of dollars or hundreds of millions of dollars, although Xiao Feng is wealthy, he still has to be careful in his calculations.
After a while, the service staff of the Four Seasons Hotel invited agents from three different agencies into the reception room, and Xiao Feng prepared to receive them at the same time.
As far as Xiao Feng knows, because of the slowdown in the global economy, and even negative growth in many regions, some super-rich people are not having a good time, especially those in the petrochemical, real estate, and heavy industry industries, who need a lot of capital to turnover.
In the past few days, Xiao Feng has also commissioned a relevant commercial investigation company in Los Angeles to investigate the background of these islands for sale through remote command, and knows that most of their owners are trapped in funds, so they choose to put them up for sale.
This result is naturally good news for Xiao Feng, and he doesn't want to buy and sell in a hurry, so that the buyer's market can maximize benefits.
The reason why Xiao Feng has to receive representatives of the three intermediaries at the same time is nothing more than to put more pressure on the other party and the seller behind it to strive for a better result.
Ten years of training in the shopping mall, even if Xiao Feng rarely comes forward to deal with the daily affairs of the 'Jinghu Group', he has also experienced it. Besides, this time he was accompanied by Xu Mengyao and others to purchase the island, and this normal means was still at his fingertips.
…………
Charlie is the business manager of Hawaii John Asset Management, and as an industry elite who has been in the industry for 20 years, he owns vacation homes, luxury apartments and even private island customers among the best in Hawaii's asset management industry.
When he received an inquiry about a customer staying in the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel who wanted to know more about the specific information of the target, he already had a clearer understanding of the customer.
June is the peak tourist season in Hawaii, and being able to stay in the Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons at this time shows that this customer is not only financially strong, but also well-connected. The Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons will cost less than $8,000 per day, or even in short supply!
Although the content of the customer's inquiry on the phone and fax is a private island, Charlie still thinks that the other party has a certain strength to facilitate the transaction, which makes Charlie very excited.
You must know that the transaction intermediary fee of hundreds of millions of dollars is only five thousandths, and Charlie can only get half of it, but no one will ignore the income of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
However, Charlie's good mood disappeared as soon as he entered the living room of the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel!
Akon and Bowyer, two difficult guys, also sat in the living room, as representatives of Hawaii's high-end real estate agents, these two guys and Charlie have been old rivals for decades, from their entry into the industry to the present, from apprentices to senior executives, they all represent their respective companies to fight all over the world!
Seeing this scene in front of them, the three of them actually understood that this was the customer's negotiation strategy, but they also continued with their heads, after all, each of them was willing to believe that the resources in their hands could win the favor of the customer more than the other party.
In fact, this is also the common psychology of human beings, out of blind trust in themselves, they will not easily admit defeat.
When Xiao Feng walked into the living room, the three agents sat upright on three legs, although there was no verbal attack on each other, but there was an indescribable aura of slaughter in the air.
This aura almost reached its peak after Xiao Feng entered, because they all recognized Xiao Feng and knew that Xiao Feng's consultation was not about fun, but with enough purchasing power and motivation to buy.
As we all know, Xiao Feng is a young upstart in the top 10 of the world's richest list, and his habit of buying farms and ranches has already spread in the circle. At present, Xiao Feng and the 'Jinghu Group' do not have a private island under their names, and it is not news that he intends to buy it.
An order that is bound to be filled, the three competitors will naturally not be in a good mood, but in front of the customer, they still have to force a smile.
This is the effect that Xiao Feng wants to see, looking at the expressions of the three agents guarding each other, Xiao Feng is quite satisfied.
Next, it is the time to consult the information and the agent to show the characteristics of the target content, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao and others raised some key questions from time to time to have a more detailed understanding of the target island.
After two hours, there was no discussion about the price, and several agents were happy to see it, and the meeting was quite successful.
Preliminarily, Xiao Feng and the others have taken a fancy to the four islands, and in the next few days, Xiao Feng will personally go to these treatments for field investigations, and then finally decide on the target of the purchase.
When Xiao Feng revealed a strong intention to buy, what the three agents needed to do was to go back and prepare for better and more meticulous work, and finally win the order.
For the four target islands, Xiao Feng, Xu Mengyao and others still have a big disagreement, but none of them can convince others, and they can only wait until they go to the island to make a decision.
…………
In the evening, Xiao Feng and his family dined at the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel, because of Xiao Feng, the Four Seasons Hotel became a partner of the 'Jinghu Group', and most of the ingredients used in the restaurant were provided by the 'Jinghu Group' and the 'Wharton Group', which also improved the quality of the hotel's restaurants.
According to various surveys, since the merger of Century Hotel and 'Jinghu Group', both the customer occupancy rate and reputation have improved, which has strengthened the confidence of the hotel management and Xiao Feng to cooperate.
In Hawaii, Xiao Feng's family can still taste many top delicacies from their hometown, and the strangeness of coming to your place is immediately dispelled without a trace.
After dinner, the energetic children naturally couldn't stay still, changed their clothes and cheered and rushed to Waikiki Beach, instantly blending in with the tourists.
As one of the most famous beaches in the world, Waikiki Beach attracts millions of visitors from all over the world every year, and people of all colors can be seen here, and Chinese is mixed together.
Xiao Feng and the others followed behind the children for only a few minutes, and they met several groups of yellow-skinned, black-haired, Chinese-speaking fellows, who felt very cordial.
In less than half an hour, the little ones gathered a large group of children of all colors and squatted on the beach to start building the castle.
Nini, who is fluent in seven Chinese dialects, has undoubtedly become the center of the children, she can communicate with the little pot friends from Huaxia for a while, turn her head to explain in Dongying, and her fluent Italian and Spanish make the crooked nuts around her stunned.
A foreign parent couldn't help but ask Xiao Feng, 'Are all your Chinese children geniuses?', because in addition to Nini, Yu'er, Tongtong, Ding Dang and others can also use several languages fluently, and there are several foreign language experts in the children's group.
For Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, no amount of wealth can compare to the great happiness brought to them by the happy growth of the children, and now is the moment for them to enjoy the joy.
For this reason, Xiao Feng also took a special photo and sent a scarf, showing off: "The children's fluent seven foreign languages stunned the crooked nuts!"
For a while, Nini gained more fans on the Internet! )
