Chapter 1303 – Day In and Day Out
Seeing Zhuang Rui agreed, Ouyang Zhenhua nodded and said, “Well, when the time comes, I will also go to attend the sitting ceremony of the living Buddha, do you want to go with me?”
Due to the provocation of some foreign forces in the past few years, localized conflicts often occurred in some parts of Tibet and Xinjiang, so Ouyang Zhenhua also wanted to take this opportunity to express the central government’s support for the Tibetan region.
After hearing Ouyang Zhenhua’s words, Zhuang Rui shook his head and said, “I’ll just go by myself, is the sitting ceremony held in the place where the reincarnated spirit child was found?”
Taking the opportunity of entering Tibet this time, Zhuang Rui wanted to go to Daxue Mountain again, to meet Xiao Xue, to meet the Golden Eagle’s parents, and to meet those simple Tibetans.
Moreover, Zhuang Rui was prepared to drive into Tibet, he had previously promised Timur Anda to help him find another little golden eagle, so he could not help but bring him along on this trip.
“The reincarnation spirit child has already arrived in Lhasa, the sitting ceremony will be held in the Da Zhao Temple.”
Looking for reincarnation spirit child’s work, as early as last year has ended, several candidates for reincarnation spirit child were received in Lhasa, after determining the child Zhuang Rui found for the reincarnation of the living Buddha, the preparation of the sitting ceremony also started accordingly.
From the reincarnation ceremony is only a week’s time, Zhuang Rui scratched his head and said, “OK, brother-in-law, I will be there on time.”
After receiving Zhuang Rui’s reply, Ouyang Zhenhua left the Golden City surrounded by a group of people, while Zhuang Rui was busy again, there were just too many people of prominent status and position that he needed to greet today.
In the golden city after the opening of the next day, the world’s major media, are in the most important pages, appeared the relevant reports, brilliant Solomon ruins, appeared in the eyes of the world for the first time.
Experts from various countries even praised the construction of this Solomon site, saying that it is definitely one of the most important global archaeological excavations in the twenty-first century, and that it plays a subversive role in the study of the pattern of the ancient world as well as civilization.
And some world-class artists and collectors, also commented on the Golden City, they believe that the construction of the Solomon ruins in China, completely reproduced a thousand years ago, the prosperous style of Solomon’s empire, inside the works of art, has a very high value of art appreciation and research, especially on the ruins of the gold mural restoration, showing exquisite master-class restoration techniques.
Not only that, some deeply influential public figures in the international arena, also expressed their own views, coupled with the influence of the book “Solomon’s Treasure”, which has been circulating for more than a century, the Solomon ruins fever, suddenly spread around the globe.
“It’s a miracle of human civilization.” So says Bill Gates.
“I think the British Museum would pale in comparison to it.” Prince William faced reporters from around the world.
“It makes my collection of antiques, completely irrelevant.” Ezkena uttered these words in the midst of many big international collectors.
The comments of these experts and celebrities have made people all over the world, long for this golden city, and for a while, whether it is the Internet or the science and education channels of various countries, a large number of reports and programs related to Solomon’s period have appeared.
According to a social survey conducted by an international travel agency, eighty percent of the people were prepared to place their next stop in Beijing, China, with the purpose of getting close to the Solomon ruins.
At the same time, the World Association of Adventurers, after evaluating Zhuang Rui’s adventure in the past few years, passed a resolution, deciding to send an invitation to Zhuang Rui, and absorbing him as a permanent member of the association.
There are also a number of either official or civil organizations, also have issued invitations to Zhuang Rui, originally those who just want to invite Zhuang Rui to give lectures in some well-known foreign colleges and universities, also put down the price, to Zhuang Rui sent the invitation letter of visiting professor.
Of course, these are all afterthoughts, at this time Zhuang Rui, which have free time to care about these things ah! After the celebration, before traveling to Tibet, there were still many things that he, the boss, needed to attend personally.
In the golden city after the opening of the next day, Zhuang Rui in the capital of a five-star hotel, held a celebration banquet, will be involved in the golden city restoration work of experts as well as the staff of the museum of stereotypes, have invited.
Not only the restoration experts from the Palace Museum and abroad, Zhuang Rui invited all the ordinary workers from the Imago Construction Company who were involved in this construction, more than fifty tables of banquets, filling up the entire hotel’s Chinese restaurant.
“Brother Gu, thanks to thank you this time, I have to toast you, if not for those skilled workers of your company, it is really impossible to make such a perfect restoration.”
Zhuang Rui rebuilt the Golden City ruins this time, although the details were taken care of by the experts, the infrastructure was given to Gu Yun’s company.
“Old brother, don’t say these words, brother I still have to thank you!” Gu Yun waved his hand and looked at Zhuang Rui’s young face.
Gu Yun knows, the old father made Zhuang Rui this pile of good karma, but the benefits are letting themselves accounted for, from through Zhuang Rui after recognizing Ouyang Jun, his ancient construction company, the rapid development of up.
After several years of development, to date, today, the ancient building company, just like has become a domestic ancient building repair leading enterprises, almost monopolized all the famous ancient building repair project.
Relying on excellent restoration technology, the ancient company not only undertook a large number of domestic business, even Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, also opened a branch, now some of the restoration of Buddhist temple buildings in Southeast Asia, basically all the ancient cloud company to do.
From a small company that almost died out in the midst of many construction predators, to become a well-known construction company at home and abroad, Gu Yun knows very well in his heart, who brought all this to him.
Zhuang Rui understood Gu Yun’s meaning, smiled and waved his hand, saying: ”Brother Gu, let’s not talk about that, your company’s brothers, you have to greet them well today! I’ll go over to Mr. Jin’s side to make a toast.”
In the construction of this Golden City, Fatty Jin also used his own relationship to contact many domestic famous cultural relics restoration experts for Zhuang Rui, although Zhuang Rui was paid the honorarium, but this favor, he is owed.
After a circle of wine toast down, back to the box where their own people, Zhuang Rui is also full of red, but see the stereoscopic museum finally in the world museum has a place, he is really happy today.
“Brother Zhuang, congratulations! Here’s a toast.”
“Wood, your drinking capacity has increased ah? No, the two of us should drink one too.”
“Brother Zhuang, Monkey and I will drink to you, no matter what, you have to drink.”
In this box, sitting is Peng Fei Liu Chuan and other people, and from Pengcheng follow Zhuang Rui over the monkey big bear and Huangfu Yun couple, are Zhuang Rui’s closest friends.
Did not wait for Zhuang Rui to sit down, another circle of wine toasted over, make Zhuang Rui is also seven meat and eight veins, if not his physique over the people, it is estimated that this will be early to sneak under the table to go.
“Zhuang Rui, can still drink? Let’s go one.” After Zhuang Rui sat down, Huangfu Yun served a cup of red wine and approached Zhuang Rui.
“What do you mean you can still drink …… it? Come on, dry up.” Zhuang Rui at the moment has five points of drunkenness, that is to come, tilted his head to drink the white wine in the cup.
“Come on, let’s not talk about things today.” Seeing Zhuang Rui’s appearance, Huangfu Yun swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
“Talking about things? What things? Brother Huangfu you say, otherwise after today I won’t have time ah!”
After hearing Huangfu Yun’s words, Zhuang Rui froze for a moment, and hurriedly used his aura to travel around in his body, and the smell of alcohol on his body was getting heavier and heavier, but the person was completely sober.
“Really okay?” Smelling the smell of alcohol on Zhuang Rui’s body, Huangfu Yun frowned.
Zhuang Rui skimmed his lips and said, “How refreshing! Have you ever seen me drunk? There is something to say quickly, tomorrow I’m going to Inner Mongolia to pick up someone, and then go to Tibet, it is estimated that this trip is going to go for a couple of weeks.”
See Zhuang Rui eyes recovered clear, Huangfu Yun this only believe Zhuang Rui did not drink too much, opened his mouth and said: “Boss, is the Golden City visit excursion ticket pricing things, you set the foreign guest ticket for 1000 yuan, this …… price is not a bit too expensive ah?”
Although the Golden City is also attributed to the Stereoscopic Museum, also Huangfu Yun to manage, but this ticket price, but it is Zhuang Rui set down.
Zhuang Rui with ID card binding ticket practice, domestic tourists unified is one hundred dollars a ticket, but foreigners tickets are crazy 10 times, want to visit the Golden City, sorry you le, less than a thousand will not let you enter.
Although today’s day, the whole sold eight thousand foreign guest tickets, income up to eight million, but Huangfu cloud heart not implement ah! What if the foreigners think the ticket price is too expensive to come in the future?
After hearing Huangfu Yun’s words, Zhuang Rui raised his eyebrows and said: “Expensive? Not expensive at all, I still think it’s less!”
“Boss, you are also too ruthless! This will not …… be poked and prodded ah?”
Huangfu Yun was choked by Zhuang Rui’s words and almost didn’t spray the red wine in his mouth, a thousand dollars a ticket, you still think it’s cheap?
“Hey, brother Huangfu, thanks to you still stayed abroad for so many years, let me ask you, how much is the ticket cost for the London Wax Museum?” Zhuang Rui said in a good-natured manner.
Huangfu Yun thought for a while and said, “It seems to be forty or fifty pounds, right?”
“That’s not it, modern wax museums, can charge five or six hundred RMB for the ticket, my thousand year old civilization site, what’s charging a thousand dollars?”
Zhuang Rui did not wait for Huangfu Yun to speak, and then asked: “Let’s change our thinking, brother Huangfu, you think the people who come to China to travel, most of them are those countries ah?”
“Europe and the United States is the most, there is Japan and South Korea these countries, Africa is very little.”
To this question, Huangfu Yun was very clear, the museum was relying on the ticket income from the tourists to maintain, of course he had to understand the provenance of the tourists.
Most of the tourists who come to China are from economically developed countries, mostly from the United States and Europe, and also from Japan and South Korea, which are adjacent to China.
Although Beijing has a lot of black foreigners, but that in addition to foreign students, is to come to China to pan for gold, there are many even are black households, caught to be deported kind of people, these people are not the source of Beijing’s various attractions of the income of the people.
“Well, Huangfu Yun, these foreigners who can come to China to travel, how is the income ah? Well, that includes foreigners who work in the country.” Just as Huangfu Yun’s words fell, Zhuang Rui followed up.
“To say that the annual per capita income in the United States, it’s probably between thirty thousand U.S. dollars and forty thousand U.S. dollars! Europe is relatively a little higher, it can reach forty-five thousand dollars, Japan and Europe are about the same, South Korea is slightly lower, but there are also about twenty thousand dollars. As for foreigners working in the country, the lower ones range from almost more than 100,000 to several hundred thousand RMB a year, and the higher ones are going to be above a million.”
This Huangfu Yun is even more clear, he used to be a lawyer in the United States, all levels of people can be contacted, simply open mouth.
However, said here, Huangfu Yun also reacted, a pair of eyes stared at Zhuang Rui, over a long time before saying, “Zhuang Rui, you …… you kid do not do business is really a loss.”
Zhuang Rui’s intention has been very obvious, this travel and not dinner, come once are rare, so whether it is the ability to come to China to travel to foreigners, or foreigners working in China, 1000 yuan ticket price, for them, is not a problem at all.
Huangfu Yun, on the other hand, has been in the country for a long time, and previously only focused on the ticket price of domestic attractions, which ignored the spending power of foreign tourists. But Zhuang Rui was different, his initial positioning for Golden City was an international pavilion, and this time Bill Gates and others gave him another free advertisement, so how can this ticket price be at or above the international level, right?
“Hey, brother Huangfu, wait for a year and a half, this Solomon fever past, the ticket price can be slightly reduced, but absolutely can not be lower than 500 yuan, we are this museum is built of gold ah! Isn’t the price too low to look down on people?”
Zhuang Rui’s words led to a table of people laughed, but there is that did not drink too much, in the mind a little thought, but secretly shocked, this is really a city of gold, convergence of wealth, that is not the general fast.
To know, even if the back of the Golden City can not reach the amount of foreign tourists admitted 8,000 per day, only 3,000 people per day, well, that day there are 3 million yuan of income, a month is 90 million.
Not to mention, as long as the normal operation of two or three years, coupled with the income from domestic tourists, will be able to Zhuang Rui to buy land funds back, with the day into the gold to describe it is not too much.
Huangfu Yun figured out this joint, is also in the heart secretly sigh, don’t look at Zhuang Rui is doing is the hand of the shopkeeper, but people really have the ability to make money, casually out of an idea, can give the Golden City’s operation has brought a fundamental change.
