Chapter 141: 140-Welcome

As the second largest city in Namibia and the largest coastal city in the country, Walvis Bay plays the role of the commercial capital of Central Continent.

At the same time, Walvis Bay is the only deep-water port on the nearly 3,000-kilometer coastline from Lobito, Angola, to Cape Town, the Rainbow Country.

In 2014, Zhongzhou District contracted a US$800 million project in Namibia to build a new deep-water terminal in Walvis Bay by reclamation.

This project was not officially completed until October 2019.

The new terminal includes a container terminal that can accommodate 100,000-ton 800 TEUs, a 372-meter-long cruise terminal, a 410,000-square-meter land storage yard, and corresponding supporting facilities such as railways, highways, water, electricity, communications, and housing construction. facility.

In other words, if it were not for this new pier, Walvis Bay would not even have the ability to allow the Symphony of the Seas cruise ship to berth here.

But there was nothing at this time. It was just three o'clock in the afternoon when a group of black extended sedans appeared in Walvis Bay Port, attracting countless residents to watch from a distance.

Due to the construction of the nuclear power plant, the wharf of Walvis Bay Port has always been extremely busy. Freighters that have traveled thousands of miles are constantly docking at the wharf. After these goods are unloaded, they will be quickly transported to the nuclear power plant project by trucks.

This is the reason why Chen Chen must build the nuclear power plant near Walvis Bay.

Walvis Bay not only has Namibia's only deep-water port, but is also connected to a railway. The farther the nuclear power plant is from Walvis Bay, the higher the transportation cost of materials will be, and vice versa.

When Chen Chen's vehicle appeared at the entrance and exit of Walvis Bay Port, the top official of entry and exit here had already greeted him first. Chen Chen shook hands with the other party and then told the reason for coming here.

Naturally, the other party would not be embarrassed and quickly completed all the procedures for Chen Chen. Even the procedures for the group of family members who had not arrived in Namibia were also prepared, leaving only the other party's signature.

About half an hour later, a small white dot appeared on the sea level in the distance, accompanied by a distant whistle. It seemed to be a cruise ship.

But as the cruise ship got closer and closer, many people were shocked to find that the size of the cruise ship seemed a bit alarming.

"That's the Symphony of the Seas!"

As a giant cruise ship that can be ranked among the top five in the entire Federation, it is very famous in the circles of marine professionals. Someone said something in a low voice, which immediately caused many people to whisper.

Gradually, the cruise ship is getting closer and closer, and what follows is a huge visual impact, just like facing a twenty-four-story high-rise building. The key is that this high-rise building is constantly approaching itself, like a roaring building. Come to the mountain!

Just when everyone was depressed, there was another dull roar, the sound was low and thick, like a monster in the deep sea humming.

It took more than half an hour before the cruise ship, which was as huge as a mountain, officially docked at the pier.

As the passenger elevator was lowered, groups of white people with old faces but elegant temperaments walked down from it.

This group of people came to the research center for aging reversal treatment, a total of fifty-eight people, nearly three times more than the previous group. This group of gray-haired old men came to the research center slightly after passing through the border on the pretext of traveling and skipping a conference. After exchanging pleasantries with Chen Chen, they got into the welcome car Chen Chen prepared for them and drove to the research center.

Chen Chen took Qian Wenhuan and Cheng Chao aboard the cruise ship.

"Please follow me, three gentlemen."

The person responsible for welcoming Chen Chen aboard the ship was a white-haired butler-looking figure, "I am the advisor to Prince Steele. Your Highness, he has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Good work."

Chen Chen nodded, "I heard that His Royal Highness has booked the entire cruise ship?"

"Yes, Prince Steele spent 20 million US dollars to charter the use of the Symphony of the Seas for one month. In addition to the 2,175 crew members, there are only 500 passengers on the ship, including about a hundred VIPs from various families. The rest are all their followers and friends.”

Chen Chen nodded and secretly said that extravagance was indeed common in East Asia. The monthly rent of 20 million US dollars, or 130 million yuan, exceeded the small target set by Lao Wang for a year.

"The reason why we chartered this ship is because His Royal Highness has a special liking for the ship's entertainment projects."

The white-haired old man said proudly, "There are seven communities on the Symphony of the Seas, including a Central Park, a Patek Philippe City, a Royal Avenue shopping street, a dozen large and small swimming pools, and a SPA. gym and a fitness center.”

With that said, Chen Chen officially boarded the cruise ship, and it seemed that it was arranged in advance. Chen Chen boarded the ship from the stern, so when he got on the ship, he immediately saw a mini park.

It is called a mini because the total area of the square is only a few thousand square meters, and it is called a park because it is densely covered with various plants, and on both sides are unique bars and restaurants. Chen Chen also looked at it. Arrived at the steakhouse and Italian restaurant.

At the same time, as he continued to advance, Chen Chen saw bars, gyms, basketball courts, spas, and even a theater that could accommodate 2,000 people...

Although it was just a glimpse, Chen Chen was extremely shocked by the huge size of the cruise ship and the complete functions on it.

After traveling for about ten minutes, Chen Chen finally followed the other party to the destination, the largest banquet hall of the Symphony of the Seas.

At this time, there was already a large group of people waiting in the hall to greet Chen Chen, which was a great favor to Chen Chen. Unlike the old people before, they were all younger men and women from the direct and collateral families of each family, numbering up to a hundred people.

"Welcome, Mr. Chen."

The leader was a Shazhou man wearing a white turban and a big beard. Chen Chen had seen him on TV before. He was Prince Steele, the younger brother of the current King of Shazhou.

Unlike other continents, Shazhou still maintains an autocratic monarchy. Strictly speaking, he is the person with the highest status in the field.

"Your Highness, I am flattered by your reception."

Chen Chen leaned slightly to show respect, while Prince Steele stepped forward and saluted Chen Chen.

Then, there was a long introduction. Prince Steele introduced Chen Chen to dozens of members of various higher-status families present. After the introductions were completed, the dinner officially began.

The dinner is like a buffet, offering dishes from all over the world, including hot pot, barbecue, seafood, Japanese food, pizza and so on.

On the side, there was the world's top music team who kept playing chords and drinking wine. Chen Chen finally saw what the real aristocratic circle in this world is like.

This group of people kept wandering among each other, gathering into small circles one after another, talking and laughing skillfully. Businesses that ordinary people could never hear, see, or make money in their lifetimes were constantly happening in such conversations. .

Qian Wenhuan, Cheng Chao and Chen Chen also let themselves wander around as they pleased. At this time, Qian Wenhuan also had someone to talk to, while Cheng Chao sat silently in front of the buffet nearby, munching on steak bite by bite.

After chatting with everyone, Chen Chen left the dinner venue and came to the deck outside the venue.

I had barely felt the passage of time before, and before I knew it, it was already late at night outside the ship.

As early as Chen Chen boarded the ship, the Symphony of the Seas set sail again and sailed into the vast sea. At this time, the sky had turned into indigo. Combined with the deep blue ocean, it really created an artistic conception of the same color as the sea and the sky.

"The bright moon rises on the sea, and we share this moment with the ends of the world..."

An ancient poem blurted out from Chen Chen's mouth.

"Good poetry, good poetry."

There was a burst of footsteps behind him, and a tall figure walked to Chen Chen's side, imitating Chen Chen's movements and lying on the railing, "I have always admired the ancient poetry and culture of Zhongzhou."

"Mr. Lane, have you heard of this too?" Chen Chen asked, tilting his head.

This is not the first time Chen Chen has met this man. As early as the first time when the eleven families were invited, the Foster family sent this man.

Ryan Foster is the only son of Norman Foster, the head of the Foster family.
