Chapter 493: First arrival in Haojiang
At 2 a.m. on February 19, Su Cheng appeared at the Central Pier with his bodyguards, Gillian and Ami.
Later, a group of more than a dozen people boarded the yacht.
This yacht is a medium to large luxury yacht. It was originally used by a tourism company under Hutchison Whampoa to develop tourism.
The yacht had not been used for long before Weili, who had just taken over, made a drastic move to close down the tourism company that had been losing money for many years.
Therefore, this almost 95-year-old yacht was requisitioned by Sioux City after Sioux City acquired Hutchison Whampoa Group.
Anyway, Hutchison Whampoa Group is now wholly owned by Suzhou City, which means that the entire group's things belong to him, so he will have no problem using them if he wants.
The speed of this yacht is not very fast, about 25 knots, which is 46 kilometers per hour. It takes almost more than an hour from the Central Pier to the Haojiang Inner Harbor Pier.
However, Su City is not in a hurry. If we take a passenger ship, it will take about the same time, so it is better to take the comfort of our own yacht.
The reason why they brought Gillian and Amei out this time was because of their strong request. They heard Su Cheng said that they were going to Haojiang, and they also wanted to follow them to visit this gambling city.
In the beautiful country, although there is the world-famous gambling city of Las Vegas, the two of them have relatively average family backgrounds. Growing up, they had never even left California before coming to Xiangjiang.
Haojiang is a world-class casino that can rival Las Vegas, so they asked Su Cheng to take them there to experience the charm of this casino.
For such a small request, Su Cheng satisfied them.
More than an hour later, Su Cheng took Gillian, Amei and a group of bodyguards to the inner harbor of Haojiang.
Before coming here, Su City had contacted the Governor's Mansion about the arrival time, so there would also be an official car from the Haojiang Governor's Mansion here to receive him.
However, what Su Cheng did not expect was that the Governor of Haojiang, Mr. Li Andao, actually came to the pier to greet Su Cheng. For this reason, he also brought the honor guard at the Governor's Mansion to welcome the distinguished guests.
This is equivalent to raising the status of Suzhou City to that of a country's leader.
"Mr. Su Cheng, I finally waited until you arrived. You are indeed as young and handsome as in the photo!" When Su Cheng stepped onto the pier, Li Andao walked up to Su Cheng and said enthusiastically while shaking hands.
When Su Cheng came here, he checked the governor's general information.
Li Andao is a Portuguese, born in 1940. He was appointed Governor of Haojiang in 1974, becoming the youngest governor in the history of Haojiang. Therefore, Governor Li Andao was only 39 years old at this time.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Governor, for your warm welcome." Su Cheng responded with a smile.
At this time, many spectators had already surrounded the place inside and outside the pier. The relevant security personnel had to maintain order and prevent them from entering. Otherwise, Su City would have been surrounded by the public.
Sioux City is not only famous in Xiangjiang, but its reputation in Haojiang is no less famous than Xiangjiang.
After all, Haojiang and Xiangjiang can be said to be two brothers, facing each other across the sea. Haojiang is sometimes even called the back garden of Xiangjiang, and residents of the two places frequently communicate with each other.
"Mr. Su, get in the car. This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the Governor's Mansion to talk." Li Andao made a gesture of invitation and then said.
"Okay, Mr. Governor." Su Cheng followed his arrangements directly.
Xiangjiang itself is already very small, and Haojiang is even more ridiculously small. The area of Haojiang at this time is much smaller than the Haojiang known to Sioux City in the previous life, because in the future, Haojiang will continue to reclaim land and sea.
Today in 1979, Haojiang still consists of a peninsula and two islands.
The peninsula naturally refers to the Haojiang Peninsula, which is also the most prosperous place in Haojiang. It mainly focuses on tourism and service industries, as well as some backward industries.
As for the two islands, one is Taipa Island and the other is Coloane Island.
There is a Macao-Taipa Bridge connecting Haojiang Peninsula and Taipa Island, which was only opened to traffic in 1974.After it was opened to traffic, Taipa Island also began to develop.
As for Coloane Island, it is still a very deserted island, mainly composed of fishing villages.
In the future, Taipa Island and Coloane Island will eventually form a large island due to reclamation, and this island will also be developed.
Cars drive slowly on the streets of Haojiang. Compared with Xiangjiang, there is indeed a huge difference here. There are almost no skyscrapers like those over Xiangjiang.
Except for the main road, other streets are not very wide. In such a small place, more than 20 people gather here, so the population density of Haojiang is also very high.
From time to time, you can also encounter some messy small factories.
In terms of city appearance, there is indeed a lot of difference between Haojiang and Xiangjiang in this era.
Ten minutes later, the convoy arrived at the Haojiang Governor's Mansion from the pier smoothly.
After getting off the car, Su Cheng carefully looked at the official residence, which was not very large.
Compared with the Xiangjiang Governor-General's Palace, the Haojiang Governor-General's Palace is indeed a lot stingy.
But after all, this place cannot be compared with Xiangjiang, and the Governor's Palace does not need to be built too big.
Xiangjiang governs a population of several million, while Haojiang currently has only more than 20 people.
This is an elegant and solemn building with a unique European architectural style. The decoration and furnishings in the mansion combine Chinese and Western characteristics and are full of ancient charm.
The main entrance of Haojiang Governor's Palace faces Nanwan Lake and consists of three buildings and gardens. It has always been one of the landmarks of Nanwan.
"Ah Wu and Xiao Yang, Gillian and A Mei are going out to visit Haojiang River. You two should follow and protect them." Su Cheng ordered the two bodyguards.
When entering the Governor's Mansion to talk, naturally only Su Cheng could enter, and the chat would definitely last more than an hour.
Therefore, Su Cheng simply let Gillian and A Mei go shopping on Haojiang Street by themselves.
However, Haojiang, like Xiangjiang, also has many societies, so personal safety must be paid great attention to, so Su Cheng simply sent two bodyguards to follow him for protection.
"Copy that!" the two bodyguards said in unison.
"Master, you are so kind!" Gillian and A-Mei were very moved after hearing this.
"Mr. Su, I'll send a staff member of the Governor's Mansion to follow you in a car. Although Haojiang is small, you can't see much in just one or two hours on foot." Haojiang Governor Li Andao said with a smile.
"Then thank you so much, Mr. Governor!" Su Cheng smiled after hearing this.
With the leadership of Haojiang local snake, it will be very convenient for Gillian and Amei to go wherever they want to go.
As for Li Andao, he didn't know the identities of Gillian and A Mei, but he guessed that they were women from Su City.
Therefore, he was also afraid that the two beauties would cause any problems on his territory, so he simply sent a government worker to follow them, so that he would not be afraid of anyone being careless.
"Mr. Su, please." After Gillian and Amei left the small garden of the Governor's Mansion, Governor Li Andao invited Su Cheng to enter the Governor's Mansion.
"You're welcome, Mr. Governor, I'll just follow." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Li Andao showed too much respect, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. (End of chapter)
