There is a city in the southeast of Irian Island, in an area facing the Gulf of Hoon on the Solomon Sea.
This city is the second largest city in Papua New Guinea. It is also the largest industrial city and second largest port in Papua New Guinea. Its name is "Lae".
Although Papua New Guinea was first discovered and colonized by the British, it was controlled by the Germans before World War I. Therefore, many place names in Papua New Guinea are full of the flavor of Liang Guorao.
Just like Lae, it was originally called Adolf Haven. After Germany was defeated in World War I, the British and Australians once again gained dominant control over the area, and Lae was renamed Morobe Port until it was later renamed Lae.
Lae has a rare deep port with excellent natural seawater in Papua New Guinea, so the shipping industry here is particularly developed. After the plateau trunk road was completed in 1995, Lae began to develop industry based on its geographical advantages. After half a century of development, Lae has become the most important industrial base in Papua New Guinea.
Lae is very important in Papua New Guinea and even served as the temporary capital of Papua New Guinea. This incident cannot be mentioned without the simultaneous eruption of Mount Tavuru and Mount Vulcan in 937, which caused the entire city of Rabaul, the capital of New Guinea, to be relocated. At that time, the capital of New Guinea was moved from Rabaul to Lae.
Yang Jing and his group drove from Mount Hagen to Lae. There is a main road from Mount Hagen to Lae, less than 400 kilometers away, and it took them more than seven hours to get there.
Moreover, compared to flying in the air on an aircraft, driving can more intuitively experience the charm of the primitive jungle along the way.
After arriving in Laicheng, Yang Jing and his group rested for a night in the hotel they had booked in advance, and then came to the Forest Yacht Club located at the easternmost end of the city early the next morning.
This yacht club is the largest yacht club in Papua New Guinea, and almost all the participants are Australian mining tycoons. As for the owner of this club, it is Mr. Andrew Fortis, the founder of Fortescue Metals, the third largest iron ore producer in Australia.
Andrew Fortis is a famous mining tycoon in Australia. In last year's Forbes rich list, the mining tycoon who founded Fortescue Metals ranked sixth on the Australian rich list with a net worth of US$8.4 billion. He is the second largest mining tycoon in Australia after Gina Rinehart, the richest woman in Australia.
Moreover, this mining tycoon is different from many Australians. At this stage, especially in the past two years, Australia has followed the United States in becoming anti-China, and many people are full of dissatisfaction with China.
However, Andrew Forte is a very staunch pro-China person, especially in the past decade or so. His attitude towards China can be described as full support. Not only has he called on the Australian government not to oppose China in various public occasions, but he has also supported China with practical actions.
As a mining tycoon with a net worth of billions of dollars, Andrew is also a very famous philanthropist. Last year, he donated a one-time sum of 400 million Australian dollars to charity, which is also the largest single donation in Australia's history.
Because he has always maintained a good relationship with Hua Xia, as colleagues, Guo Dabao and the mining tycoon have met several times and there is some friendship between the two.
This time, Yang Jing was planning to visit the islands in eastern Papua New Guinea, so Guo Dabao contacted Andrew Fortelis directly, hoping to rent his yacht.
Andrew readily agreed to Guo Dabao's request. Coincidentally, Andrew, who was on vacation in Papua New Guinea, had to fly back to Canberra two days ago because of some urgent matters in the company that required him to deal with in person. His super yacht "Australian Style" which was originally used for vacation was left in Lae.
This was a good deal for Yang Jing and his group.
Andrew agreed to rent the yacht to Guo Dabao for a period of twenty years at a price of A$100,000 per week.
Because Christmas is right after the 20th, Andrew wants to come here to continue his vacation after Christmas. ..
In this way, Yang Jing obtained the right to use the "Australian Style" for the next three weeks.
The next morning, the group arrived at the Fortress Yacht Club and was warmly received by the club's general manager, David Bob. Just kidding, the general manager dared not be vague about the things that the big boss personally told him to do. Especially since the big boss actually rented his "Australian Style" to the Chinese people in front of him, it was enough to prove that the big boss valued this group of people.
As an experience in the yacht club, David Bob is naturally Andrew's confidant. He is of course aware of the boss's attitude towards China, so he was particularly attentive in his reception today.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yang Jing and his companions were led to the dock outside the club. Their attention was immediately attracted by the huge silver-gray and brown ship docked at the end of the dock.
Guo Xiang whistled and asked excitedly, "That big ship must be Mr. Andrew's Australian Style, right?"
Even Yang Jing was a little excited. He had seen the famous Rising Sun on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco before, but it was quite far away at that time and some details of the super yacht could not be seen clearly.
And this super yacht is right in front of you. Only when you get close to it can you feel the luxury and nobility of this super yacht.
The appearance of this yacht is very special, and its style is a bit similar to Batman's car. Coupled with the well-matched colors, this super yacht is full of science fiction.
