Chapter 531: Traveling to China (2)
Gao Mengdie excitedly introduced the domestic tour to William.
"When your parents arrive in Shanghai, they can visit the United Nations building, and the future headquarters of the United Nations will be in Shanghai.
William exclaimed, "O my lord! Great Huaxia! I wish the United Nations would be established sooner. ”
Gao Mengdie continued: "After visiting Shanghai, you can also go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to take a walk, our domestic tourist attractions can be countless, your parents may not be able to go through the tour for a year, and then go to the north after your parents have finished the south, our northern railway line has been fully connected, you can go anywhere you want to take the train, but the last stop I recommend in Vladivostok, the time to reach Vladivostok must be in September." ”
William asked, "Why?" ”
Gao Mengdie said: "Because there is a steamer from Vladivostok to San Francisco only in September, your parents can leave Asia in Vladivostok and go to North America, a newly opened territory in China. ”
William exclaimed, "Oh my God! Isn't this a circle around the Earth? ”
Gao Mengdie continued: "Your parents can take a car to Chang'an (New York) in San Francisco, and then take a ship in Chang'an to cross the Atlantic Ocean back to the UK. ”
"Round-the-world tour! It's a trip around the world! William said excitedly, "What a perfect trip around the world!" ”
Gao Mengdie said proudly: "Yes, this is a trip around the world in my country. ”
At this time, Gao Yazhi came to the door and said, "Eighth Princess, you have to inspect the British cement factory today, and now the time to set off has come." ”
Gao Mengdie got up and said: "I almost forgot about this, today I went to inspect with the Minister of Industry Anthony, William, I'm sorry, our conversation can only go here." ”
William said: "Eighth sister, I will be very busy in the future, because I have to run for the state legislature, and I will come to you when I run for the state legislature." ”
Gao Mengdie said: "You are welcome to come at any time, as long as I have time." Yazhi, please send one to Mr. William. ”
"Obey, Eighth Princess!"
……
The cement plant that Gao Mengdie will inspect this time is the first cement plant invested by Huaxia in the United Kingdom, located in the mountains of south London.
She got into the jeep, Wei Delong, Gao Yazhi and the driver were already in place, and a military truck was full of soldiers waiting to leave.
"Let's go!" Gao Mengdie gave the order to set off.
The jeep pulled out of the compound at 31 Portland Street first, followed by military trucks.
The jeep passed through several blocks, leaving the hustle and bustle of downtown and entering a rugged mountain road.
"It would be nice to pave this road with cement." The driver, Zhao Dae-woo, complained while driving.
Gao Mengdie said: "Xiao Zhao, slow down and pay attention to safety." ”
"Princess, please rest assured, I graduated with honors in the driving training class, it is said that the road is too bumpy, and I am worried that you will not sit comfortably, princess."
Gao Mengdie quipped: "It's quite fun to toss around like this, Yazhi, you say yes?" ”
Gao Yazhi, who was sitting on the side, saw the princess talking to her, and hurriedly responded: "It's good!" Very good! ”
Zhao Dayu asked: "Sister Yazhi, you are used to riding horses, such bumps are a piece of cake for you, right?" ”
Gao Mengdie smiled and said to Zhao Dayu: "Xiao Zhao, Yazhi is the same age as you, why do you call her sister?" ”
"Sister, sister." Zhao Dayu hurriedly changed his words.
Wei Delong said: "Xiao Zhao, how can you be sure that Yazhi is younger than you?" Maybe the month is older than yours? Yazhi, you said yes, right? ”
Gao Yazhi smiled noncommittally: "It's okay, it's the same to call my sister and sister." ”
The jeep suddenly jeep jerked violently, and Wei Delong reminded: "You also said that you are Quanyou, pay attention to safety!" ”
Zhao Dayu said: "This road is really difficult to walk, and it is full of potholes. ”
Gao Mengdie smiled: "Xiao Zhao, will your full honor be obtained by bribing the examiner?" ”
Zhao Dayu hurriedly said: "No, no." Absolutely nothing. ”
Zhao Dayu looked anxious, and made Gao Yazhi amused: "Hahaha, the princess is teasing you." ”
Zhao Dayu said: "Sister Yazhi, this matter can't be a joke, I have won all the best, and there are not many people in our training class who can get the full best." ”
Wei Delong also smiled: "I know that you have good skills, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to drive for the princess!" ”
Gao Mengdie said: "Let's talk and laugh, we don't think this car is bumpy." ”
Zhao Dayu is a master of jokes in the car training class, he said: "Why don't I tell everyone a joke?" ”
Wei Delong said: "You better save it!" Drive your car seriously. ”
Everyone in the jeep was talking and laughing, and time passed very quickly. Before they knew it, they saw the big chimney of the cement factory.
"Look, we're here." Zhao Dayu was the first to see the big chimney, and he told everyone excitedly.
The jeep came to the gate of the cement factory and stopped, and Gao Yazhi said, "Princess, wait a minute, I'll contact you before getting out of the car." ”
After speaking, Gao Yazhi opened the car door and got out of the jeep.
She came to the gate of the cement factory, there were already members of the Huaxia Marine Corps guarding the gate, and a battalion commander stepped forward to salute Gao Yazhi and said, "We have received an order to protect the princess, and a sentry has been set up inside the cement factory." ”
Gao Mengdie walked back to the jeep and said to Wei Delong, who was sitting in the front seat: "No problem, you can get out of the car." ”
So, under the escort of bodyguards, Gao Mengdie stepped out of the jeep and came to the gate of the cement factory, where there were already Chinese and British factory directors waiting.
First of all, the director of the British factory saluted Gao Mengdie: "Your Royal Highness the princess, welcome to visit our factory!" ”
Then the director of Huaxia saluted Gao Mengdie: "Your Royal Highness Princess, welcome to inspect our first cement factory invested in the UK. ”
Gao Mengdie asked, "Have all the people from the British side arrived?" ”
The factory director said: "Back to the princess, everyone has arrived, and she is in the factory!" ”
"Let's go to the factory and have a look." Gao Mengdie said.
Under the leadership of the two factory directors, Gao Mengdie came to the newly built cement plant, which is still under construction, so there is no rumbling machine sound, and the towering chimney does not smoke later, and the factory area is very clean and tidy.
When he came to the factory, Anthony, the British Minister of Industry, who arrived first, greeted him: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, it's a pleasure to see you again!" ”
Gao Mengdie nodded politely and said, "Let Mr. Minister wait for a long time." ”
"I've just arrived, too." Anthony smiled.
"Then let's get started!" Gao Mengdie turned to the director of Huaxia and said.
After the factory director arranged for Gao Mengdie to sit down, the inspection work officially began.
First of all, the director of Huaxia reported to Gao Mengdie and Anthony the scale of investment and the expected annual production of the cement plant, and then the director of the British factory began to report, mainly explaining the training of British workers and the practical difficulties of plant construction.
Gao Mengdie proposed to the factory director that while building the factory, the road at the entrance of the factory should be repaired, but the British factory director still emphasized the difficulties such as the shortage of funds.
Gao Mengdie proposed: "Your factory is short of funds, you can borrow from the bank!" ”
Huaxia's factory manager explained: "The bank needs us to have a mortgage before they can give us a loan. ”
Gao Mengdie asked, "Which bank is it?" Chinese or British? ”
The factory director replied: "It's the British bank. There is no precedent for Huaxia Bank to lend to foreign-funded enterprises. ”
