Chapter 465 Chapter 463: South Africa, here I come!
One day in 1886, a white man named George Harry was walking on a farm north of Johannesburg when he tripped over a stone out of the ground, which was a piece of gold.

As a result, gold diggers from all over the world came here to pan for gold. With more and more gold panners, this place became a densely populated place.

The government of the Republic of South Africa at that time sent personnel to inspect the place, looking for a place to establish a town.Two people were sent to carry out this task at that time, one was a Dutch immigrant named Johann Rissik, and the other was a Boer named Christiaan Johannes Joubert.

It is said that the established city was named after their names Johann and Johannes, plus the suffix burg which means "city, town", so there is today's Johannesburg.

After discovering the gold nugget, George Harrison himself rushed to Pretoria to report the discovery to the official management department after being ecstatic, and obtained a "gold mine discoverer's ownership certificate" that could enjoy tax-free treatment.

But Harrison himself did not have the funds needed to develop the gold mine, and he eventually sold the ownership to others at a very low price.Today, his statue stands beside Highway 24 from Johannesburg International Airport to the city center.

Known as the "City of Gold", Johannesburg is located on the upper reaches of the Farr River in the northeast, with an altitude of 1754 meters.

Founded in 1886, Johannesburg was originally a prospecting station. With the discovery and mining of gold mines, it developed into a city. It is located in the center of the world's largest gold mining area and the economic center of South Africa.

There are more than 240 gold mines in the nearby 60-kilometer area, and there are many industrial and mining cities around, which together account for about half of South Africa's total industrial output value.

Johannesburg is a city full of vigor and vitality, with parks and grasslands accounting for about one-tenth of the city's area.

Probably everyone who comes to York City for the first time will be fascinated by its modern prosperity: there are many huge buildings, entertainment venues are full of lights and shadows, black and white faces are exuding healthy luster, and the noise and hustle and bustle are exactly the same as those of big cities in Europe and America.

Johannesburg covers an area of ​​about 269 square kilometers and has a population of 63. More than half of them are black. It belongs to Gauteng Province, the smallest and most economically developed province in South Africa.

The urban area is divided into north and south parts by the railway: the south is the heavy industrial area; the north is the downtown area, where there are major commercial areas, white residential areas and colleges and universities.

There are many huge buildings in the city center, and government agencies, banks, stations, stock exchanges, etc. are all modern buildings.

The most attractive place for tourists in the urban area is the [-]-story Carlton Center, which is the most advanced business district in York City, where the largest international gold business is traded.The Gold Mine Museum and the Gold Refining Plant are available for visitors to visit.

Johannesburg is also the capital of terror with the highest crime rate in the world. The unemployment rate in South Africa is as high as 40%, and the vast majority of the unemployed are unskilled and low-educated blacks.

The deterioration of law and order has led to frequent robberies, forcing the upper-middle class or large capital companies representing South Africa to move to the northern suburbs, and urban functions continue to move to the suburbs.

In addition, risk-averse foreign capital also migrated outward, causing restaurants, clubs, and nightclubs in urban areas to close one after another.This year is the year of the World Cup, and many media have been warming up for the World Cup.

After the European competition, European countries sent a large number of journalists to the cities in South Africa where the competition was organized.

Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa. This city developed because of gold mines is the most economically developed city in South Africa, and it is also the city that opened the World Cup.

So here gathered a large number of journalists from all over the world.

Hearing that the Dutch team will come to Johannesburg today, many reporters have been waiting at the airport early, and they don't know why the Dutch team came here two days earlier.

……

After Chen Fan took a photo with two beautiful stewardesses, he quickly walked out of the cabin with his sports bag on his back.

Looking at the blue sky of Johannesburg and the dazzling red sun in the west, Chen Fan temporarily forgot about making Van Persie look good.

"South Africa, here I come!"

"Johannesburg, here I come!"

The first game of the Netherlands was held in this city, and the final of the World Cup was also held in this city.

Chen Fan looked at the sky and howled in his heart, the World Cup comes every four years, and his first World Cup tour officially began!
Core players such as Van Persie, Arjen Robben, and Sneijder are in their prime, and Chen Fan is full of pride.

Although he has staged a solo savior many times in the competition, he understands a truth: it is impossible to get to the end and win the Hercules Cup by relying on one person's performance.

In the World Cup final in 74, Cruyff started sleepwalking after scoring a goal. In the end, the German got his wish and won the Goddess Cup on home soil.

In the 90 World Cup final, the Argentines who relied on Maradona failed to have the last laugh. In the 98 World Cup final, the Brazilian team that relied too much on Ronaldo hated the Stade de France.

In the 06 World Cup final, Zidane was sent off with a red card, which directly shook the morale of the French team. In the end, they fell at the feet of the Italians in the penalty shootout.

These battles all illustrate a problem. One person cannot help the team win the World Cup.

To win the World Cup, in addition to the individual performances of the stars, you also need a strong team, and now this Dutch team is a strong team.

The glare of the sun quickly made Chen Fan feel over, and when he cast his eyes on Van Persie on the ground, he became angry.

"Damn Robin, didn't I tell you before going to sleep, you must wake me up when the plane stops! Why don't you wake me up?"

Chen Fan stared at Van Persie "viciously".

The general players of the Dutch team laughed, sweeping away the fatigue caused by the long journey.

Van Persie glanced at the complacent Robben, shrugged and said to Chen Fan: "Chen, it's not my fault. I wanted to wake you up, but Alger stopped me."

Chen Fan immediately transferred his "anger" to Luo himself: "Alger, why did you do this?"

Robben laughed a few times and said: "Chen, I'm creating an opportunity for you. Those two stewardesses are so beautiful and have a great figure. You've only met Emily twice in the past half a month. Everyone knows that you are now..."

What the hell is this talking about?
"Stop!" Chen Fan interrupted Robben, "Am I that kind of person?"

"That's who you are!"

Heitinga tore off a piece of paper from Chen Fan's suit and read in a low voice, "Mobile phone 654875611, resort hotel 1108!"

He looked up at Chen Fan and asked, "Look, the phone number and the hotel room are reserved for you. You are not that kind of person, who is that kind of person?"

Chen Fan grabbed the piece of paper, looked at the content on the note, his face turned red, damn it, how can this be explained clearly...

Robben quietly walked to Chen Fan's side, and whispered, "Chen, how can you thank me?"

Annoyed, Chen Fan stuffed the note in his hand and said loudly, "Take it, this is my thank you gift!"

Robben looked at him in astonishment.

Looking at his expression, Chen Fan finally let out a bad breath and laughed heartily.
