There is actually a reason why it is said that the Chinese people have been able to reach this step.

Since ancient times, China has always emphasized the importance of agriculture and the suppression of commerce, and the social status of merchants in the feudal era can be said to be the lowest, because in the eyes of the feudal emperors, on the one hand, private industrial and commercial owners exploited the peasants through commodity exchange and usury, and on the other hand, the rich profits of commercial activities attracted a considerable number of peasants to "abandon their roots and move towards the end", thus greatly weakening the ruling foundation of the dynasty.

After the Ming Dynasty, the handicraft business was considered to have developed a little, but it was still in the state of seedlings, and it was overwhelmed by the three mountains, how to talk about thriving?

Going back one or two hundred years, the courtiers finally noticed the general trend of society dominated by industry and commerce, so they began to relax the policy, but unfortunately the focus was on heavy industry, and they still did not pay much attention to the tertiary industry.

Strictly speaking, China's tertiary industry has only begun to develop rapidly in recent decades, and it is still in its infancy, and there is still a gap between it and those Western countries with developed service industries.

So far, most of the five-star hotels in China are owned by foreigners or overseas Chinese. However, there are only a few domestic independent hotel brands that can reach a five-star scale.

A size like the Dorsett Hotel is already very good. However, Li Zimu believes that as long as Huaxia is given a little more time, our own things may not be worse than those blonde and blue-eyed guys.

"Hey, I'm out now,......" Li Zimu said speechlessly, as if he couldn't cook if he didn't come, Li Tian was a warm-hearted person, and he didn't have much to say.

"Obediently, this car is domineering, what about the one you got yesterday?" From a distance, he saw Li Tian coming out of the gate of the hotel, Li Zimu drove the car in front of him and honked the horn before this guy noticed himself.

"I've been rubbed, let's talk when I go in" Li Zimu nodded and said, he wanted to sigh when he thought of the tiger girl of Chi Ling......

"Today's people are all big shots, I'll introduce you later" Li Tian said with a smile, he is very familiar with this part of Minhai, and as the host, he naturally can't snub Li Zimu.

"Oh oh......" Li Zimu replied listlessly, how big is this big man, the Queen of England, the President of the United States, or the academic master? The two entered the gate side by side, the hotel is closed today, and the people who come are all guests of the Shaw Group.

"I'm glad you can come today" As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiao Mo standing in the hall and talking to a few people, and when I saw Li Zimu coming, I turned around and said hello. He was still very happy that Li Zimu could come, and the more he looked at this young man, the more pleasing he became.

"I wish Lingyuan a peach and plum year, sunny and rainless" Li Zimu said with a smile, handing him the gift box in his hand. Tao Li is to describe the time when a girl is twenty years old, so it is appropriate to say so.

"Hahahaha, I'll thank her for it" Xiao Mo laughed and said, a good one sunny and rainless. took the gift box handed over by Li Zimu and handed it to the waiter on the side. Unlike in the West, it is impolite to open gifts in front of others when they give them.

Li Zimu smiled and didn't speak, the gift box was bought just now when he suddenly thought of it on the way, and he always felt a little embarrassed to rub the rice empty-handed, so he went to the store to buy a bracelet, regardless of whether it was high-grade, and he was not familiar with it anyway......

"Then I'll go to greet the guests first, you can go shopping casually" Xiao Mo smiled and said, there were guests at the door again, he had to go to greet them.

"Let's go, the place to eat is on the second floor," Li Tian patted Li Zimu on the shoulder and said, taking Li Zimu directly to the second floor.

The decoration design of the hotel is more golden and rich, the lobby is also very spacious, there are rockery ponds and potted plants, there are sofas for people to rest and chat, there is an elevator on the right to go directly to the top, and generally go up a few floors to the guest room. On the left, there is a ladder that circles upwards, with a grandstand-like structure on top and a barrier behind it.

The two went directly up the stone stairs and walked up, there was a larger space behind, Li Zimu was more interested in this design, because it was different from the hotel design in Europe and the United States, and it had its own characteristics.

"Do you know how to play billiards?" Li Tian smiled and said, it's still early, there is still a while before the meal, most people haven't come yet, and you have to have some fun if you're bored.

"Will be ...... a little bit" Li Zimu nodded and said, there is also a chess and card room on it, and a few billiard tables are set up, which are generally available in hotels, and he doesn't think it's an exception.

"Come on, let's play for a while" Li Tian said with a smile, quickly set the ball, and threw a club to Li Zimu.

I haven't touched this thing for many years, Li Zimu thought to himself, took the cue handed over by Li Tian, set up the pole with ease, and touched it lightly, and the white ball rushed straight out, knocking the colorful ball into pieces.

Li Zimu still remembers the first time he played billiards, at that time it was not called billiards, it was called billiards, and there were only two round balls made of wood, and the table was a wooden board, and there was not even a hole on it, which was completely different from today's billiards.

In most people's understanding today, billiards originated in the West, and it is only a form of entertainment that has been introduced to China in the past hundred years, the most famous is British snooker, which has a complete set of rules and game modes.

But this understanding is wrong, because as early as the Song Dynasty, there was this kind of sport in China, and at that time, every child played billiards, which is the beginning of billiards.

Billiards was transmitted from China to the West, although this is not recorded in the history books, but Li Zimu knows, as for how it was passed on, this is about the Crusaders.

The Crusades were a major war of aggression in ancient Europe in the guise of religion, a protracted military confrontation between Christianity and Islam over the Holy Land of Jerusalem.

The nearly 200-year-old war ended with the victory of the self-proclaimed Muslim Muslims, and the death of Louis IX in Tunise in 1270 marked the end of the Crusader era.

In this way, it seems that the crusaders have nothing to do with China, because their purpose is only Jerusalem, and the farthest is only to the Middle East, and there is still a lot of distance from China.

But the group of soldiers with a cross painted on their armor, Li Zimu had seen their shadows in Huaxia. At that time, Song Huizong also personally received this group of foreigners who looked embarrassed.

Later, some soldiers stayed here for a long time, got married, had children and had children, and now there are many blonde and blue-eyed Chinese people in Gansu, whose ancestors were the crusaders who once stayed.

There were also some soldiers who returned to their hometowns, and billiards was transmitted from China to Europe at this time. Later, after the extension and development of Westerners, it became what we see today.
