And on this day, the Terrence B. Learson International Airport on Beef Island welcomed a group of special guests.
Each of these guests wore uniforms with corporate logos printed on them, and carried photography and video equipment on their backs. They got off the plane in groups of three or five. Different from other tourists, they did not have the relaxation on the faces of ordinary tourists. , but it’s like coming to work instead of taking a vacation.
Some ordinary tourists looked subconsciously, but when they saw the logos on the clothes of this group of people, they were secretly stunned, because they saw that these people were all reporters from the world's most famous news media companies, such as the American Associated Press. Agency, Reuters, France Presse, Interfax, etc.
Some tourists were curious and didn't know what was going on. After asking around, they realized that it was the second press conference of Hengxing Technology, and the venue was actually chosen at Hengxing Plaza on Hengxing Island.
At this time, in the AP team, Jack from the Economic Information Department looked at the surrounding scenery with joy, especially when he saw the beauties in bikinis running and splashing wantonly on those special white beaches. He kept whistling, "God, I almost love it here!"
"Jack, keep your voice down." Ahead, a blond girl wearing sunglasses turned around and raised a finger at him, "Do you want the director to scold you? We are not here for vacation. Pay attention to your image.”
Jack shrugged helplessly and looked at the balding middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walking at the front, "I know, Anna, I'll pay attention."
At this moment, the bald man at the front suddenly turned his head, glared at Jack fiercely, turned to Anna and said, "I heard it."
Anna stuck out her tongue when she heard the words, but saw the director continuing, "I fought hard this time to get everyone to follow me. You must also seize the opportunity to attend the press conference of Stellar Technology this time. , will be an arduous task, especially this issue. If you can complete it well, I can allow you to relax for a day or two."
"Yeah!" Most people in the team cheered immediately.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's go find the hotel booked by the company for us and take a rest. Work will officially start at five o'clock in the afternoon!"
A group of people came to the pier in great interest. At this time, not only them, but also several media staff were already negotiating with the owners of these yachts. Many of them looked very familiar at first glance, and they were all popular in the international media. Although the host and some people were not in the same media, they were already familiar with each other. For a moment, everyone came together and started talking to each other. ,
After a while, Anna, the host of the Associated Press Economic News Department, had already negotiated the price and persuaded a yacht to take them to Stellar Island. A group of people boarded the boat excitedly, and then headed toward the island amid the roar of the yacht's engine. Drive into the sea.
The yacht was driven by an African-American native of the British Virgin Islands named Jim. He was very talkative, but often mixed with vague slang. According to his words, he has been working as a tour guide since he was ten years old. For more than ten years, he has been able to tell clearly which tree has a nest of seabirds on any tree in the archipelago, and which mountain has a nest of squirrels.
Along the way, he kept recommending the scenery on each island to everyone, and then mentioned Stellar Technology, lamenting that it was the emergence of Stellar Technology that instantly made the Virgin Islands the most famous tourist destination in the world, and most of the indigenous people He made a lot of money, and he just bought this yacht three days ago.
Unlike other islands in the Virgin Islands that are close to each other, Stellar Island is alone and dozens of nautical miles away. Although the speed of the yacht is very fast, it still takes half an hour to reach Stellar Island. Everyone keeps chatting along the way. Jim even performed a rap composed by himself in front of everyone. It was humorous and made everyone laugh.
Soon, Star Island appeared in everyone's sight.
Star Island is not huge, with an area of only about ten square kilometers. It will take less than three hours to go around the island. However, this island is a typical sparrow. Although it is small and has all the internal organs, the island has an industry-rich tourism industry. City—Star City.
When the Star Island got closer, everyone could clearly see the tall buildings on the island, one after another, resplendent and magnificent, more exquisite and beautiful than many international cities.
In the north of the city, there is the cryonics center that can accommodate 50 million people. From a distance, it shines brightly under the reflection of the sun. The hemispherical cryonics center looks like a pearl that is mostly buried in the soil. , only a very small part is exposed.
"In the city, there are three-star and even five-star hotels, bathing beaches, and a one-kilometer-long food street. You can find delicacies from all over the world there, and nothing is the same." Jim pointed proudly. That miniature city “even has a casino in it. I’ve been there, and even the casinos in Las Vegas are hard to match in terms of luxury. Every day I hear people winning big sums there.” money, and I heard that some people lost everything there.”
Following Jim's introduction, everyone finally boarded the city pier. Everyone saw that although there was a large flow of people in the city, the streets did not seem crowded because there were no cars. There are only a few electric cars at most, and these can be rented at the pier for $100 a day.
After looking at the time, it was already around 12 noon. The director said hello to everyone, and then pulled out a map of Stellar Island from the automatic machine next to the dock.
"Is this the hotel where we are staying?" Jack came up and pointed to the location in the city center near Hengxing Island Square, where is the tallest building on Hengxing Island - Hengxing International Hotel.
