World's No. 1 Resort

Chapter 144

After Tang Huai finished speaking, he added sugar cubes to the coffee.The taste of Americano coffee is too weak, he is not used to it.

Tang Huai looked calm, but Jonathan was a little serious.

"This is the North American Trade Protection Act. Mr. Tang, Hawaii's economic downturn is not due to Datang, what is it?" Jonathan took out another document, his eyes burning.It seemed that Tang Huai had challenged the majesty of Hawaii.

"Hawaii will elect a governor next year?" Tang Huai looked at Jonathan.

If we want to talk about the election, we have to talk about the legendary experience of Jonathan being elected.The directly elected governor of Hawaii is elected every four years.In the last election, Jonathan fell behind the former governor by [-] votes and eventually became the lieutenant governor of Hawaii.

There is only one word difference between the "principal and the vice", but the powers represented are completely different.Jonathan dedicated his life to American politics.He was very dissatisfied with his position as lieutenant governor.The overall situation has been decided, and Jonathan can only do his own job well.

Just when he thought he would work on time for four years, the former governor died suddenly during his term of office. According to relevant laws, Jonathan naturally took over the post of governor.

During his tenure, Jonathan worked hard, but the economy of Hawaii did not grow as expected.Next year's gubernatorial election, this will be the entry point for political enemies to attack him.There is still a year to go, and Jonathan wants to make some political achievements.At this moment, Datang Holiday appeared.

What Jonathan said was righteous, but he knew in his bones that Hawaii's economy had nothing to do with Datang.On the contrary, driven by the fame of Datang, many tourists transit in Hawaii, which will promote local consumption.Coupled with the various taxes and fees of Datang, this is not a small income.

The only bad thing is that the rise of Datang was too sudden.Private island with unknown background and fast development...it's definitely a walking cash cow.

In this way, after the analysis of government politicians, the requirement of 'transfer fee' came into being.

"This is a political matter in Hawaii. Mr. Tang, this is already the biggest concession in Hawaii." Jonathan was thinking a lot, but he didn't show it on his face.He crossed his hands on his lap and brought the topic back to transit fees.

"What if Datang Holiday refuses?" Tang Huai asked.

"Sorry, Hawaii will impose additional charges and sanctions on Datang ships according to the North American Trade Act. For example... restricting passage."

Jonathan answered firmly. He knew that Datang Resort is located in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by the sea. The nearest transit points are Hawaii and Mexico.Compared with Mexico, Hawaii has a short distance, a wide port, and a short voyage, making it the best artificial transit point for Datang vacations.

Taking Datang No. [-] as an example, it takes one and a half days to travel from Datang to Hawaii and three days to Mexico.All in all, Hawaii is crucial to Datang's vacation.

"Governor Jonathan..." Now at [-]:[-], after Jonathan finished speaking, a secretary walked up to Jonathan's side and whispered, indicating that it was time to give the closing speech.

"Mr. Tang, you can consider..."

"no need."

After the little secretary left, Jonathan got up and spoke to Tang Huai.It's just that Tang Huai interrupted him just as he started a conversation.

"Mr. Tang decided to transfer the contract?" Jonathan became interested.

"Sorry, this is an unreasonable request. For the sake of freedom and democracy in Hawaii, Datang can only give up the Hawaiian route." Tang Huai also got up, but it was the opposite of Jonathan's guess.

"It was a bad decision."

Jonathan looked a little ugly.Although the transfer fee is a bit overbearing, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the income of Sola Island.He had guessed many results before, but he didn't expect Tang Huai to directly refuse.

"Mr. Tang, you should consult the senior management of Datang Resort." Jonathan added.

"The higher-ups will support my decision." Tang Huai waved his hand.

In this way, the whole negotiation broke up unhappy.Tang Huai left first, and was stopped by the bodyguards at the door, and then let go under Jonathan's signal.

"Governor Jonathan is here..." The little secretary beside him hesitated to speak, and the situation got out of control.

"Don't worry, Datang will come back."

Jonathan lit a cigar.Transportation is a key factor in the tourism industry. If Datang abandons the Hawaii route, it means that Datang will give up a broader market... This is an unwise decision.

"Go out." Jonathan straightened his sleeves, and walked out of the room surrounded by bodyguards.

Five minutes later, Jonathan was the mayor of Hawaii again.

The Ace banquet hall was very lively, Tang Huai didn't listen too much, walked around the hall, and then walked towards the elevator entrance.With this time, he is more comfortable sleeping and watching the news.

"That, what a coincidence." Tang Huai was waiting for the elevator, when an incoherent surprised voice sounded from behind.

Tang Huai turned around. They were two well-dressed Chinese women in black evening dresses.The two of them looked very good, and at this moment, they were looking at Tang Huai with joy and surprise.

"Who are you?" Tang Huai thought about it, but couldn't remember who they were.

"Hey, we came here on the Datang No. [-]."

The two stroked the broken hair between their foreheads and talked about key words.The two were passengers in the VIP cabin. Seeing that Tang Huai was not easy to attack, they turned around and attacked the rich businessman in South America.A wealthy businessman was invited to tonight's reception, but happened to lack a female companion, so they came and went, and the two also attended tonight's reception.

This is the top reception in Hawaii, and the two are very excited.They thought Tang Huai was just an episode, but they didn't expect to meet Tang Huai again when they went to the bathroom.Judging from Tang Huai's attire, he is tonight's guest.

This is a reception that people who are rich don't necessarily attend.

"Mr. Tang, this is the phone number of the governor's office. Governor Jonathan told you that if you change your mind, you can contact me at any time." The two were about to say something when they saw a man in his 30s approaching.Handing Tang Huai a series of phone numbers, the two met the man at the opening remarks of the reception. This is Governor Jonathan's secretary...

"I see. See you again by fate." Tang Huai took the business card with a calm expression.At this moment, the elevator came over. Tang Huai greeted the two of them and went straight down.

The two women looked at each other, somewhat in dismay.This is the governor of Hawaii, so he handled it so calmly?

The second generation of red, Zhongnanhai.For a while, various speculations swirled in the minds of the two of them.The two looked at Tang Huai's back and wanted to step forward, but after thinking about it, they still didn't move.

Tang Huai's level is no longer within their reach.

……

For the next two hours, Tang Huai didn't care what the two girls thought.Instead, he washed up and made a video call with Xie Yunshu.

Tang Huai relayed Hawaii's cooperation to the past. Like Tang Huai, Xie Yunshu did not agree with Hawaii's decision.Now that the two sides broke up unhappy, the Hawaiian side must have a backup, and Datang has to consider the next plan.

"How is Yingda doing?" After thinking about it, Tang Huai asked.Now shipping is restricted, so we can only start by air.

"The QA inspection is all right. The construction of Sola No. [-] airport has been completed. Yingda replied that the air contract has progressed halfway, and it is expected to be formally signed at the end of the month." Xie Yunshu opened the Yingda document and replied earnestly.

Tang Huai nodded.

The No. [-] airport was established a month ago and is located on the south side of the ancient city of Bianjing.It mainly uses large passenger planes, and its overall scale is two circles larger than that of Airport No. [-].Now that the aviation hardware has been fully prepared, all that remains is the contracts for airports in various places.

As long as the contract is finalized, Datang will really be able to extend in all directions.

It is now August NO.20, and there are still ten days before the end of the month.Tang Huai is not demanding, as long as Datang's traffic can last for another ten days...

While thinking about it, Tang Huai turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Tang Huai went through the check-out procedures, said goodbye to Hank, and drove directly to the port of Honolulu.Now Datang No. [-] has left, and due to cross-navigation, Datang No. [-] is very pretty standing in No. [-] port.

There are many tourists standing on the first deck.Compared with the usual laziness, at this time the entrance of the ship was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.Several crew members were gesturing, as if they were talking about something.

"Sorry, this is a new policy in Hawaii, and all boats from Datang Vacations are prohibited from berthing."

"You are unreasonable and against the spirit of justice! Well, if we go to Mexico, can we stop?"

"Please don't embarrass us."

Tang Huai approached, and there were three Hawaiian police officers in black uniforms standing in the center of the entrance. The leading officer was holding a document with the Hawaii Police Department in his hand.At this moment, A Lang was frowning, and he was arguing with others.

"This is a new rule in Hawaii. Please don't make it difficult." Alang looked irritable, and the Hawaiian police lifted the handcuffs, with a businesslike attitude.

The whole scene was full of gunpowder.

"Feel sorry……"

"Let's sail."

The two sides were at loggerheads, and the Hawaiian police raised the handcuffs and were preparing for further action.Tang Huai came over and explained to A Lang.

"Okay." A Lang was very surprised by Tang Huai's appearance, but he still responded.Immediately afterwards, A Lang raised his hand, and the crew of Datang contacted the tour guide of the travel agency.

Datang No. [-] was originally scheduled to depart at [-]:[-] pm.Now five hours ahead, everything needs to be re-planned.There is no plane from Huaxia to Hawaii today, otherwise, the whole situation will be very difficult to deal with.

The tourists are a little unclear about the changes in the Tang Dynasty.However, under the premise that Datang is free of ferry tickets, there is no dissatisfaction.An hour later, the diversion work was completed, and Datang No. [-] broke down.

Under the watchful eyes of the Hawaiian police, Datang No. [-] left slowly.

The sea breeze in August was slightly salty, Tang Huai stood on the deck of Datang, thinking about the past two days.He knew that this was Jonathan's blow to Datang.If you want to continue to berth, you must agree to Hawaii's official conditions, which are humiliating.

Today's matter, Datang can appeal to the United Nations, but the appeal process is slow. As an overseas small island, Datang is weak and weak, so there may not be results.In addition, Datang can also turn to the Chinese embassy for help.But like the appeal conditions, Sola Island has no affiliated country, and the Chinese embassy is not easy to intervene.

In short, Datang can only suffer from this dumb loss.

"I'm really aggrieved." Tang Huai muttered to himself looking at the sea level.He left decisively just now, but the inside is not as calm as it appears on the surface.Hawaii's approach is unconventional, but now, Datang can only accept it.

At this moment, Tang Huai had a strong idea of ​​developing Datang.In addition to travel experience, like military, global status these also have to go hand in hand.

"What should we do next?" Tang Huai was thinking about it, and A Lang walked up to Tang Huai's side and handed him a can of beer.Compared with last year, Alang is more calm now.

"Take the Datang-Mexico route first. The Datang Airlift will be completed at the end of the month." Tang Huai unscrewed the beer.Now we can only give up the Hawaii route.Only with the Hawaii incident as a foundation, Tang Huai was alerted.

Now Datang is like a sweet pastry without a subordinate country.Today there is Hawaii, but tomorrow there may be spring Hawaii and winter Hawaii.Datang must rely on its own strength to realize its international status.The process is difficult.At this moment, Tang Huai can finally understand the hardships that Huaxia has faced in its international development.

"I'm going to visit the Indian Ocean area." Tang Huai was thinking here and there, and A Lang finished his beer and spoke suddenly.

"Indian Ocean?" Tang Huai was surprised.Since the upgrade of the captain system, Alang's activities are no longer limited to the Pacific Ocean, but all over the world.

"It doesn't have to be the Indian Ocean. It could be the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, Solari."

Alang talked about his imagination.Now that Datang No. [-] is going to sea, Datang No. [-] is a bit weak.With the restrictions on routes in Hawaii, the activities of Datang-[-] will be more restricted.For example, under the condition of full power, the time for Datang-[-] to go to and from Mexico is three days, while that for Datang-[-] is five days.Much less efficient...

"When are you leaving?" Tang Huai opened his mouth, and after thinking about it, he still asked.A Lang's loyalty is not high, but he has been serving Datang conscientiously for a year, Tang Huai has no need to restrict A Lang's freedom.

"Early September." A Lang was very surprised by Tang Huai's straightforwardness.

"Don't worry, I will hold Datang No. [-] for a safe meeting." After speaking, A Lang continued to add.

Tang Huai patted A Lang on the shoulder.The area around the Persian Gulf is not peaceful. What Tang Huai cares about is not the ship, but he and A Lang are in a cooperative relationship, so he is too embarrassed to say what he cares about.

Just like that, the two clinked glasses of beer and looked towards the sea.

With the blessing of Sola's travel insurance, Datang-[-] sailed very smoothly.

Three days later, Datang No. [-] sailed into the waters of Sola Island.

"Wow, it's really the same as in the video, so looking forward to it!"

"Where is Sky Forest? I want to take a photo with Queen Kelly."

"If you want to buy glasses in Guzhen, there shouldn't be any purchase limit in Datang, right?"

……

When Datang No. [-] broke down, tourists stood on the deck and took pictures with great excitement.Like countless tourists before, everyone is full of expectations for the next trip.

Datang tourists include China, Japan, North America, India... Tourists come from all over the world. Since the great fire in the Tang Dynasty, Sola Island has become a truly cosmopolitan island.

Tang Huai got off the boat and looked at the tourists around and the scenery in the distance.All irritability was swept away.

Tang Huai remembered what Sola Island looked like last year.It was a deserted island full of loess.Now that the difficult period is over, Datang has no need to back down.

In this way, Tang Huai quickly adjusted his mentality and sharpened his fists.

Signing a contract with World Airport, supervising the construction period of the dungeon, and making a flight plan with Xie Yunshu... In the next week, Tang Huai had a very fulfilling life.

At the end of August, the contracts between Tanghuai and various airports were finalized.

Datang Airlines was established, signed a contract with Freetech, and [-] aircraft have been dispatched to various airports.The contract between Datang and the airports is [-]% to [-]%, of which Datang is [-]% and the airport is [-]%.This [-]% includes various expenses such as airport fees, maintenance fees, and ticketing fees.Intek Airlines takes the lead, and all costs are within a reasonable range.

In addition to Yingda's [-] planes, Tang Huai also re-customized [-] ordinary planes, which can roughly meet the direct tourists from all over the world.

Datang Airlines is expected to officially launch flights on September [-]st.During this period, in addition to the signing of the airport contract, the Hawaii government promulgated the "Hawaii Tourism Economy Regulations", which clearly stated that because of tourism protection, the holiday boats to Datang were suspended.Datang vacation is restricted travel.

The tourists complained a lot. Those who have been to Datang for vacation are lucky to say, but those who have not been there are all in total.They wereted six days transiting through Mexico, which is a terrible rule.

Some tourists questioned the rationality of the Hawaiian government, but the Hawaiian government remained unmoved.On the second day after the promulgation of the 'Hawaii Regulations', the official website of Datang Resort made an announcement.Tourists traveling from Mexico to Datang will be exempted from boat accommodation fees. The announcement of Datang made tourists understand that Datang and Hawaii are really on the same page.

In addition to the reduction and exemption announcement, Datang also announced the news of the launch of Solar Air, which to a certain extent reduced the impact of the Hawaiian regulations.

"Manager Tang, the Japan Blue Youth Club is calling." On September [-]st, Tang Huai was inspecting the maiden flight at the airport, when the little secretary came over and reported.

"Blue Blue Society?"

Tang Huai was surprised.Lanqingshe is an extremely famous manga production company in Japan.Half a year ago, after Luo Liang finished drawing Carlos, he hoped to get the copyright of Carlos's "Putting the Pen".It's just that Lanqing Club's status in the animation industry is too high, and Datang was not well-known at the time, so Lan Qing Club declined Luo Liang's request.

Now that half a year has passed, has the Lanqing Club contacted Datang?

"I see." Tang Huai nodded.

Tang Huai went around Sola Airport twice, and after confirming that everything was normal, he went to Sola's office building.

"Ding Ding-"

Just as Tang Huai sat down, the office phone rang again.

The call was from Lanqing Club.

"Come here." After thinking about it, Tang Huai signaled the little secretary to turn around.

"Hi Manager Tang, I'm the animation director of Lanqing Club, Tomohisa Fujiwara." As soon as the phone was connected, a calm male voice came from inside.
