Honolulu's Chinese Concession is one of the cleanest and prettiest neighborhoods in the entire Kingdom of Hawaii. This concession area with a land area of more than 100,000 acres is home to more than 30,000 Chinese of all kinds, and in addition to the small ship repair shop in the wharf part, there are 33 modern enterprises of all sizes settled in the Chinese concession. 60% of them are engaged in the sugar industry.

The population of the entire Chinese Concession is close to 60,000, and in addition to half of the Chinese, there are also a large number of Japanese, descendants and local natives living here. Fanning and his wife traveled all the way from the port of Honolulu to the villa in the Chinese Concession, passing through the Honolulu area, and just looking at the situation in the Chinese Concession, they could see European or indigenous workers wearing different styles of concession labor uniforms everywhere pushing carts and leading horses, or cleaning and directing traffic. Except for the European and indigenous people who are not visible in the security force of the concession, they can be seen frequently in other positions.

Even at the welcome banquet held by the legation, there were many European and indigenous maids and boys shuttling back and forth in the most high-end restaurant in the Chinese Concession.

The villa is located in a park, with a road carved out in the woods and greenery, dotted with small snow-white bungalows. The villa where Fanning and the eldest princess lived was one of the most perfect. Concession policemen in pairs walked leisurely not far away with batons and pistols hanging from their waists. Looking out into the woods, you can occasionally see the shadow of a European housewife in a clean and beautiful dress flashing in the open area of the park, but more often than not, Oriental faces.

For dinner, the eldest princess and her wife used it for themselves. With the sunset and the sea, although the Western-style dinner really doesn't taste good in the mouths of these two hosts. But the meaning alone is enough.

After the meal, the whole Hawaii is already full of lights. The night scene of the Chinese Concession is not as beautiful as that of Shanghai. But look ahead along the wide street. The chessboard-like neighborhood of the Chinese Concession is hidden among the green trees and streets. The drainage ditches built of stone and cement and the rows of street lamps standing on the green belt combine several beautiful pictures on the entire bird's-eye view.

In the hazy night and lights, the bustling area in the port area and the upscale market area further north are much more mysterious.

Liu Mengyao and Fan Ning have never been to Hawaii, and Liu Mengyao went as far as Nanyang to play. It was also because of having been to those islands in the South China Sea that Liu Mengyao was even more surprised by the prosperity of Hawaii. It's fair to say that without the kind of money that the British have invested heavily in recent years, Singapore would not be as good as Honolulu.

Fanning was just as surprised by the bustle of Hawaii. He had never been abroad before, but as an architect, he was a certified architect. An architect with a big background and a big background, he has been to more than Tianjin and Shanghai in China. In fact, among China's many 'famous' ports, there are more than Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and there are many far behind. Fanning himself is most familiar with the ports of Shandong and southern Liaoning. Behind all of those places is a province, or at least a few provinces, with economic zones to support, but it's a far cry from Hawaii.

However, such a prosperous Honolulu and such a prosperous Chinese concession do not feel crowded at all. This is because the rise and prosperity of Honolulu Chinese mixed with too many ego factors. Now China's urban design is huge!

Liu Xian was fed up with the diseases of modern cities such as snailly dwelling, traffic jams, and environmental pollution, and he couldn't stand the narrow alleys of Chinese cities in the current era, with rows of shops on both sides. In accordance with his 'urban philosophy'. The architectural layout of any emerging city needs to clearly take into account future developments. If possible, he hopes that every city in China will be an ideal garden city. This is a deep obsession.

Therefore, Chinese architecture is an excellent implementation of his idea, and when the Chinese Concession was established, it was only a small city with only a few thousand people living in the beginning. Its size and area can match the tens of thousands of people in a town in this era.

Fanning's knowledge is more inclined to modern architecture made of reinforced concrete, so he knows a lot more about the West than his wife. The scenery of Hawaii is really nice and very good. And as a primitive indigenous society, there are bound to be a lot of surprising new things here.

The next day. The eldest princess and her husband went to Waikiki Beach. This is the most beautiful beach in the entire Hawaiian Islands. In particular, the white sand beach of three or four hundred meters is finely white, swaying coconut trees and wooden houses dotted in between. This section of the sea is quiet and open. Really the perfect location for a holiday.

Liu Mengyao and Fan Ning liked it almost as soon as they arrived here.

They did not make an official visit to the Kingdom of Hawaii because King Kalakaua I was seriously ill and was being treated in Los Angeles, USA. The Kingdom of Hawaii was not hereditary, and the native nobles who had the right of inheritance did not live in the European-style royal palace of Kalakaua I. Their identities are really not enough for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the New Qin Empire to visit in person.

"Hengzhi [Fanning character], how about we buy a few properties here and buy a new manor? It's so beautiful here. I want to stay here forever. Let's run some industries, and come here to play when we have time in the future. Liu Mengyao suddenly thought of this question, and the very little woman clung to her husband, with a coquettish mouth.

This is the most different thing between her and many emperors and princesses in history, and even different from some sisters in the palace. She will put him first in the first place for her own concubine, although when she said these words, Liu Mengyao had already decided to do this in her heart, but as soon as she said this to Fan Ning, as soon as she was coquettish, a kind of self-confidence of 'being the master of the house' rose in Fan Ning's heart. So the two have been married for more than a year, and their relationship has been deepening little by little.

This is a kind of wisdom in life, and it is also a kind of 'management'!

"Absolutely. I also love it, it's a great place to relax. Fanning agreed with a smile on his face, and then waved his hand: "Let's let people find a good place, except for the seaside, you see the mountain over there, that Kahala Mountain, the top of the mountain is flat, it is the highest peak on Oahu." We also built a few villas and a manor house on it, and then we could see the whole of Oahu. ”

The noble, wealthy, and polite eldest princess couple are a pair of dazzling pearls that have stolen the attention of the entire Hawaii in a short period of time. Not only are the Chinese here happy, but the local natives are also proud, because the Chinese newspapers here have already said that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the concubine have come to Hawaii from the Far Eastern coastal region for vacation. It's not going to the United States, and I'm going to settle in Hawaii. This makes the local natives very happy. They felt a sense of respect from it!

And just when the eyes of the Americans and the Japanese were all looking at the young couple Liu Mengyao and Fan Ning, when outsiders didn't know it, a carriage slowly drove into the public office of the Chinese Concession.

A smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of Fan Xiyong, the leader of the public bureau, looked at the carriage that slowly stopped, and walked up to meet it.

The carriage opened, and out came a businessman in his thirties, yes, a businessman. A person who is perceived as a 'businessman' regardless of his dress or temperament. He now has an exaggerated smile on his face, next to a beautiful European woman in a Western-style dress. No one would keep their eyes on this ordinary carriage, and there were no less than two hundred ordinary Chinese who followed Her Royal Highness Princess Chang to Hawaii. Many of them were businessmen, and some of them were the children of Chinese elites, and it was common for these people to come to the public office.

In the past two days, too many Chinese have been buying land and property in Hawaii. Many of them were personally received by Fan Xiyong himself. The explanation to the outside world is the same - the origin is deep and cannot be provoked.

"Haha, Brother Gao Ping, welcome back!" Fan Xiyong stretched out his hands, grabbed the middle-aged businessman's hand, and shook it vigorously. For the European beauty who accompanied the businessman, he didn't even look at it. It's a 'scene prop', a cheap item that can be replaced at any time. And the European beauty is also very self-aware and stands aside to be a transparent person. She had nothing to complain about, because she chose such a path for herself.

"Is my house all done?" Zhu Gaoping nodded slightly to Yao Zhe, the current police chief of the Chinese Concession who he had rarely dealt with before, next to Fan Xiyong, and then asked Fan Xiyong, an old friend, unceremoniously.

"Of course it's done. Manors, shops, factories, and plantations. Everything is ready. Take advantage of this wave of property purchases, and no one will notice you. "Fan Xiyong has detailed information and photos in his hands." I guarantee you'll love it, the estate is as beautiful as the garden. ”

Yao Zhe had a chance to step forward. Although he and the two people in front of him were not all the same, the task firmly screwed the three of them together.

"It's hard work, Brother Zhu, I haven't seen you for two years."

"yes. Two years ago I was a detective and you were just a tourist, but now you are a wealthy investor who has come to Hawaii to invest, and I am the police chief of the Chinese Concession. "All changes are their own destiny, and now we are working for the same goal.

Hawaii! Annexation of Hawaii. At the moment when the Yankees stretched out his hand, he neatly cut off Lao Mei's claws. This place, which marks the strategic advantage of the North Pacific, will be firmly guarded in China's hands.

For example, Kalakaua I's brother-in-law, Liliucarani's American husband, John Brown. Ao Yun. Dominis, between his death, was fueled by the Legation and the Chinese Concession Bureau. Although Dominican is indeed seriously ill, there is no Chinese shadow in the middle, only a slight movement during treatment. Because although Dominis and Liliucarani did not have any children, the two had been married for more than 20 years and had a good relationship. Liliukalani has always been pro-American!
