Chapter 212: Secret Meeting I
Ninety-eight years ago, Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport was known as one of the top ten dangerous airports in the world.
A large Boeing 747 plane flew high in the sky, and the flight attendant on the plane began to remind passengers that Kai Tak Airport in the port area was ready to arrive. One by one, the passengers on the plane cheered up.
Kai Tak Airport has only one runway that juts into Victoria Harbour, known as Runway 13/31. This number is due to the fact that when the aircraft takes off and takes off, the angle direction chosen is 136 degrees and the reverse is 316 degrees. According to the practice of the international aviation community, a runway can be used for aircraft to take off and descend in a direction of 180 degrees, and the runway number is the number of directions to remove the last digit.
Due to the unique geographical environment of Kai Tak Airport, it is quite difficult to take off and take off at Kai Tak Airport, which is a very exciting experience for passengers.
When descending, the aircraft descended 270 degrees to the west near Cheung Chau, bypassed the west side of Lantau Island and turned to the northeast with a course of 45 degrees, and then changed to the east north of Sha Lo Wan on Lantau Island, with a course of 88 degrees, passed through the western part of Victoria Harbour and entered the densely built Kowloon, the plane arrived at Kowloon Grid Hill, and saw the giant square on the checkered hill, and the pilot on the plane had to turn 47 degrees to the right by visual inspection, aiming at the runway protruding into the harbour. Here the plane turns, at an altitude of less than three hundred meters. This is a sharp slalom landing on arrival. In addition, there are many mountains near the airport, and wind shear often occurs. Increased the difficulty of take-off and landing.
Passengers sitting on the plane can clearly see the streets, buildings, pedestrians, and at the last landing moment, it can be said that they have flown into the building cluster, and the building is very close to the plane. People sitting on the plane can see the color of the clothes drying on the rooftop. You can even see a TV show in a resident's house. Residents living under the waterway in Kowloon City once had a popular saying that it was only on the rooftops of high-rise buildings. Holding a penny can sweep the plane down.
A group of five or six tall foreigners hurriedly walked out of the airport. got into a few cars that had been waiting outside for a long time, and left quickly.
Chen Baode, who picked up the airport, stood inconspicuously in the crowd, talking to his companions from time to time. Seeing a group of foreigners leaving in a car was not touching, and there were many foreigners who came and went to Minato Ward every day.
When Chen Baode took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. Just took a sip. The hand that put the lighter in his pocket paused, and suddenly his mind flickered. I remembered a foreigner walking in front, with a tough and serious face, this is an Englishman, why do you have a sense of déjà vu? Interviewed yourself? Think about it. Chen Baode shook his head. Definitely not. Looking at the direction in which the vehicle was leaving, Chen Baode shook his head suspiciously.
Early the next morning, Huang Deding took the vehicle to the place where Li Zhendong was staying. The group left quietly. The vehicle soon entered the road that Li Zhendong was not familiar with, and Li Zhendong only had a rough idea of the main areas of the port area. The more the vehicle goes, the more remote it becomes.
Li Zhendong and Huang Deding talked softly, and the atmosphere was rather dull. Liu Ping, who was sitting on the side, had been for a long time. I couldn't help but rub my eyes. Last night, I went shopping with Li Zhendong, and then stayed at a large hotel near Victoria Harbour. Li Zhendong specially opened a sea view room with a good view for her to live in. Beach in the afternoon, night view in the evening. Excited and tired, and a strange place, Liu Ping didn't sleep until almost dawn, and her spirit was naturally not good.
finally arrived, and at a glance, Li Zhendong was completely unfamiliar with this place and had no impression. Facing the side of the mountain, there are many buildings of various styles, most of which are in the English style. The building where the vehicle is parked is relatively large and has been around for some years. There is a large circle of courtyards around the building, barried by wooden fences, and the yard is a flat lawn and planted with flowers and trees, and the environment looks quite elegant and clean.
When I arrived, I was a few minutes ahead of the agreed time, not too early, let alone late.
"Oh, Sir Abraham, it's a pleasure to meet you" Huang Deding and the others met the master at the door, and as soon as they met, Huang Deding happily greeted an Englishman in front of him. The Englishman was tall, had a serious face, and was not sure how old he was, but he was certainly middle-aged. There were several foreigners behind him. Seeing Huang Deding, he smiled, and after a few polite sentences, Huang Deding introduced the two parties.
"This is Sir Abraham of Britain, this is Mr. Li Zhendong of China" Huang Deding introduced the two very formally, and then said a few words to Sir Abraham.
Hearing Huang Deding's introduction to himself, the young man in front of him was the owner of the goods, with the calmness and composure of the British character, although his face did not change, he couldn't help but show surprise and doubt in his eyes. The young man is neatly dressed, well-dressed, with extraordinary demeanor, slightly raised chin, and a generous and natural expression.
"Welcome, Mr. Li" Abraham nodded and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Abraham, it's nice to meet you" Li Zhendong replied lightly. The two did not talk much, and unlike Mr. Allen, whom Li Zhendong met at HSBC, Sir Abraham was an old-school Britishman.
Sir Abraham introduced the people behind him one by one, and Huang Deding's face became a little surprised, these are several people from different countries. Li Zhendong understood the truth after a little thought.
One is a Spanish national, known as Mr. Alonso, who was introduced by Abraham as a scholar of truffle culture who specialized in truffles.
The second is a French gourmand named Monsieur Henry, who is very warm about people. Zhilu Dao came to the East this time, and when he shook hands with Li Zhendong, he talked in English, and he exaggerated the black truffles of Provence, France. Li Zhendong interrupted his gushing words, "Mr. Henry, I prefer your lavender fields in Provence, France." Mr. Henry stopped talking and looked at Li Zhendong for a long time.
The third is Mr. Diego from Italy, a truffle hunter who specializes in truffles when the season comes.
Mr. Abraham is prepared! Li Zhendong and Huang Deding looked at each other and nodded secretly. I brought someone with me, and the place I chose was more private.
As early as when Li Zhendong's first batch of goods returned to the deep area, samples had been provided and secretly tested in Europe. The relevant tests were arranged by Mr. Abraham, and Mr. Abraham also had a copy of the report, which is logically a definite thing. But the seriousness, prudence, or rather rigidity of the British, still made Mr. Abraham extremely cautious.
When Li Zhendong introduced his own people, the Englishman Abraham had the best attitude, Liu Ping's beauty only made him blink his eyes, just a subtle and polite nod, and Wu Daniu's burly man made him look twice.
Mr. Alonso of Spain and Mr. Diego of Italy are also good, only Mr. Henry, a gourmet from France, opened his eyes wide when introducing Liu Ping, looked at it carefully, and said the beautiful Oriental lady in English.
Sir Abraham smiled and directly stretched out his hand to ask Liu Ping to go first. Liu Ping looked at Li Zhendong at a loss, Li Zhendong smiled and nodded, "You go first." (To be continued......)
