【1146】Arrived in Wahu
When Oahu gradually appeared in people's sight, it was already the fourth day after the "Peace" left Los Angeles. Looking at the clearer and clearer island outlines made everyone excited.
Although everyone has delicious food and drinks on the "Ping An" these four days, as well as various fun entertainment facilities, and even can see dolphins and whales to adjust their boring sailing life, the sea journey is limited after all, and people who are accustomed to life on land have more feelings for "down-to-earth".
Although Oahu is only the third largest island in Hawaii, people who have been watching the vast ocean for 4 days in a row have a great sense of intimacy.
When it comes to Oahu, perhaps most Chinese people don’t know where this is. When it comes to the largest city on the island, Honolulu, where the capital of Hawaii State, it is estimated that more than 90% of Chinese people are also unclear.
But when it comes to Honolulu, another name with a strong Chinese style, Honolulu, the Chinese immediately understand.
Honolulu's origin is because it produces various sandalwood and is transported to China in large quantities, which is called "Honolulu" by Chinese people. Of course, another important reason that impressed Chinese people with this place name is that this place was once one of the origins of the democratic revolution. Mr. Sun, the founding father, once carried out revolutionary activities here, using the power of overseas Chinese to raise funds, and ran to overthrow the corrupt previous dynasty.
Therefore, for every Chinese, there is a very special feeling here, and Chinese people who come here will feel strange.
Of course, for those who are familiar with the history of World War II, the three words "Pearl Harbor" represent the turning point of World War II. The outbreak of the Pacific War indicates a fundamental change in the direction of the war.
To this day, the huge impact of major events that affected the historical process of Honolulu is gradually weakening and disappearing, and it has become one of the most famous tourist attractions in the United States and even the world.
More than 10 million tourists come to Hawaii every year from all over the world, and most of these guests stay for more than 5 days, which has also created Hawaii's amazing and highly developed tourism industry.
As the largest city in Hawaii and the capital with more than 80% of its population, Honolulu has a significant position in the entire Hawaii state.
As the largest port city in Hawaii, Honolulu has the most complete port facilities, and even the top cruise ships have large enough berths, so the parking of the "Peace" is not a problem.
The arrival of the "Pean" immediately caused a commotion to the port. Even the locals who were used to various luxury yachts were impressed by the huge hull and science fiction paintings of the "Pean".
Some people who know about fashion and news quickly recognized the identity of "Ping An". Many people have started taking photos with their mobile phones and uploading them to their self-media accounts on the Internet.
Two days ago, the "Ping An" caused a huge sensation as soon as it left Los Angeles. Many heroes who were not good at buying and selling have already set their sights on this goal. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the "Ping An" disappeared from the public eye, and many people's preparations were lost.
Now that the "Ping An" has successfully arrived on Oahu Island, it means that the brothers in the hinterland of the Pacific have not been able to get what they want.
It is normal to think about it. Although the "Ping An" has a huge hull, only some speedboats can catch up with the average speed of 30 nautical miles, and it is very difficult to chase. In addition, the "Ping An" is equipped with military-grade high-power radar, sonar, and ordinary ships on the road are really not easy to find.
What's more, most of the security team and crew members on the "Ping An" are retired officers and soldiers from the elite troops of the Chinese Empire and the American Empire. Preventing various accidents has become their instinct. It is not too difficult for the "Ping An" to appear in Honolulu without any damage.
After the "Ping An" stopped, Xiao Feng and his family went down one after another. The Honolulu branch of Four Seasons Hotel had already prepared a convoy to greet the port. No one was intent on enjoying the views of the port and got on the bus and left.
The Hawaiian branch of Four Seasons Hotel is located near Waikiki Beach. It is a five-star hotel just like Honolulu and even the entire Hawaii. It is popular among politicians, celebrities and cultural and sports superstars from all over the world.
Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the Presidential Suite of Century Hotel, you can see the endless blue sea and the prestigious Waikiki Beach.
Waikiki Beach is one of the most prestigious tourist attractions on Oahu, and the number of tourists it receives will not be less than 3 million every year. Holding a grand beach wedding here has also become one of the dreams of young girls all over the world.
As a superstar, Xiao Feng naturally doesn't have to worry about not being able to book the best suite. Even because he is the global image spokesperson of Four Seasons Hotel, the headquarters of Four Seasons Hotel has vacated him three suites.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I checked in the hotel. Xiao Feng and others were not interested in continuing to go out for fun, but stayed in the room to rest, causing the jet lag.
There is a three-hour time difference between Hawaii and Los Angeles. Although Xiao Feng and his family spent 4 days across three time zones, the time difference had a slight impact on them. However, because the quality of sleep on the boat has declined, it is necessary to have a good rest now.
When the old man and the children were sleeping, Xiao Feng, Xu Mengyao and Xiao Qiang all came to the living room to prepare to meet the island agent and representative who had been waiting for a long time.
Half a month later, Xiao Feng needed to be invited to attend the final of the 2018 Russia World Cup. He hoped to set the general direction of the island acquisition during his stay in Hawaii, and the remaining details can be left to Ma Xiaotian and others for handling.
Before this, Xiao Feng 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 range from tens of millions of dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars. Although Xiao Feng is rich, he still has to be careful in his calculations.
After a while, the service staff of Four Seasons Hotel invited agents from three different intermediary agencies into the reception room, and Xiao Feng was about to receive them at the same time.
As Xiao Feng knows, due to the slowdown in the global economic growth rate, many regions have even experienced negative growth, and some super rich people have not had a good life, especially those super rich people in the petrochemical, real estate, and heavy industry industries, which require a lot of capital to turn over.
In the past few days, Xiao Feng also commissioned relevant commercial investigation companies in Los Angeles to investigate the background of these islands for sale through remote control. He knew that most of their owners were trapped by funds, so he chose to list them for sale.
This result is naturally good news for Xiao Feng. He doesn’t want to go to a rush to buy and sell, so that the buyer’s market can maximize his interests.
The reason why Xiao Feng wanted to receive representatives from three intermediary agencies at the same time was simply that he could put greater pressure on the other party and the seller behind him to strive for a better result.
After ten years of shopping mall training, even though Xiao Feng rarely came forward to deal with the daily affairs of the Jinghu Group, he also experienced it. Besides, Xu Mengyao and others accompanied him to purchase the island this time, and this normal method was obtained with ease.

Charlie is the business manager of John Asset Management in Hawaii. As an industry elite who has been in the industry for 20 years, the vacation villas, high-end apartments and even private island customers he owns are among the best in Hawaii's asset management industry.
When he received an inquiry, he said that a customer who lived in the Presidential Suite of Four Seasons Hotel wanted to further understand the specific situation of the target information, he already had a clearer understanding of the customer.
June is the peak tourist season in Hawaii. Being able to stay in the Presidential Suite of Four Seasons Hotel at this time shows that this customer is not only financially strong, but also has a bad connection. The daily room rate of the Presidential Suite of Four Seasons Hotel will not be less than US$8,000, and even in short supply!
Although the customer consulted on the phone and the fax was a private island, Charlie still believed that the other party had certain strength to promote the transaction, which made Charlie extremely excited.
You know, the transaction agency fee of hundreds of millions of dollars is only 5% of the 1000th, and Charlie is only half of it, but no one will ignore the income of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
However, Charlie's good mood disappeared immediately after entering the reception room of the Presidential Suite of Four Seasons Hotel!
Akan and Bowyer are also sitting in the living room. As representatives of high-end real estate agents in Hawaii, these two guys and Charlie have been old rivals for decades. From entering the industry to now, from apprentices to senior executives, they all represent their respective companies fighting for sparks!
Seeing this scene in front of you, the three of you actually understood that this is the client's negotiation strategy, but they all tied the bullet and continued. After all, everyone is willing to believe that the resources in their hands can be more favored by customers than the other party.
In fact, this is also the general 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 showed a three-legged sitting scene. Although there was no verbal attack between them, there was an unspeakable murderous aura in the air.
This aura almost reached after Xiao Feng entered, because they all recognized Xiao Feng and knew that Xiao Feng's consultation was not about playing, but had enough purchasing power and motivation.
As we all know, Xiao Feng is a young upstart in the top ten richest people in the world. His habit of buying farms has long been spread in the circle. Now Xiao Feng and the "Jinghu Group" do not have private islands yet, so it is not news that he intends to buy them.
With an order that will be completed, the three competitors will naturally not have a good mood, but in front of customers, they have to force themselves to smile.
This is the effect Xiao Feng hopes to see. Seeing the three agents guarding each other, Xiao Feng and others were quite satisfied.
Next, it is time to check the information and the agents to display the characteristics of the target content. Xiao Feng, Xu Mengyao and others raised some key questions from time to time to gain a more detailed understanding of the target island.
After two hours, the two sides did not discuss the price, and several agents were happy to see it. The meeting was quite satisfactory.
At the beginning, Xiao Feng and others took a fancy to four islands. In the next few days, Xiao Feng will personally go to these treatments for on-site inspections, and then finally decide on the purchase target.
When Xiao Feng revealed his strong purchasing intention, all the three agents needed to do was to go back and prepare better and more meticulously work, and finally win the order.
Regarding the four target islands, there was still a big difference between Xiao Feng, Xu Mengyao and others, but none of them convinced others and could only wait until they went to the island for on-site inspection before making a decision.
…………
In the evening, Xiao Feng and his family had a meal at the restaurant of Four Seasons Hotel. Because of Xiao Feng, Four Seasons Hotel became a partner of the "Jinghu Group". Most of the ingredients used in the restaurant are provided by "Jinghu Group" and "Wharton Group", which also improves the quality of the hotel restaurant.
According to various surveys, since Century Hotel has cooperated with "Jinghu Group", both 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-notch foods from their hometowns, and the strangeness of the first place in Guidi was dispersed without a trace.
After dinner, the energetic children naturally couldn't stay there. They changed into clothes and rushed to Waikiki Beach and instantly merged with the tourists.
As one of the most famous beaches in the world, Waikiki Beach attracts millions of tourists from all over the world every year. Here people can see tourists of all skin colors, mixed with languages in various places, which is very lively.
Xiao Feng and others followed the children in just a few minutes and met several yellow-skinned, dark-haired and Chinese-speaking fellow villagers, feeling very close.
Speaking of which, the children's communication skills have always been much better than those of adults. In less than half an hour, the little guys gathered a large group of children of all colors and squatted on the beach to start building the castle.
Nini, who can use seven languages fluently, has undoubtedly become the center of the children. She can communicate with friends from China in Chinese and then turn to explain in Japanese. Her fluent Italian and Spanish make the surrounding bad guys stunned.
A foreign countryman couldn't help but ask Xiao Feng, "All your Chinese children are geniuses?", because in addition to Nini, Yu'er, Tongtong, Ding Dang and others can also use several languages fluently, and several foreign language experts appeared in the children's group.
For Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, no matter how much wealth is, it is not as great as the great happiness that children bring to them by their happy growth. Now is the time for them to enjoy joy.
For this reason, Xiao Feng also took a special photo and posted a scarf, showing off: "The children's fluent foreign language shocked foreigners!"
Chapter completed!
