Due to sponsor changes, the 1994 Pebble Beach Auto Show was held in early July instead of August.

Since the establishment of the Pebble Beach Motor Show in 1950, more than 40 sponsors, including Lamborghini, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari, have provided sponsorship.

The advertising and sponsorship fees of these brands will be donated to charity by the organizers, usually car manufacturers, and the income of the organizers during the exhibition will be used for charity, which is the biggest difference between it and ordinary commercial auto shows.

This year is a little different, with the participation of the famous Swiss watch manufacturer, and if there is any connection between the two unrelated industries, it is probably the dial embedded in the dashboard of the car.

Pebble Beach Auto Show has also won the title of "the world's most luxurious auto show" due to the fact that its exhibited models are priceless antique classic cars, as well as concept cars produced by major car manufacturers.

Mr. Han received an invitation letter from the organizer as in previous years, sandwiched between a thick stack of letters, inconspicuous, he would receive countless inexplicable invitations every day, such as donations from charitable organizations or gatherings, etc., the organizers used a wide net, basically a copy of the well-known rich people in the United States, and they usually did not need to reply.

I wanted to throw it to Joseph and let him dispose of it, but suddenly remembered that his grandson had loved antique cars since he was a child, so he smiled helplessly, pulled it out and put it in his pocket, and asked him if he wanted to go when he got home.

Along with the invitation, there was a box from National Geographic magazine, which contained a $3,000 cash check, which the old man curiously opened with a photo called "Fluorescent Coast", which won the gold medal in the '94 National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest.

The glass trophy was in a box, and the National Geographic editor wrote a letter explaining the situation.

It turned out that the photo distributed in the Maldives last year was secretly sent by a tourist from the United States to the Traveler Photo Contest held by National Geographic magazine, and unexpectedly won first place.

Only when I contacted the exhibitors did I know that the photo was not taken by him, and those who can afford to travel to the Maldives will naturally not care about the thousands of dollars and do not do anything impostored.

The list of winners had already been announced, and it was even published in magazines, and after many inquiries, I learned that SOS Group had helped when buying Pisces Island, and I heard that the person who took this group of photos was a Chinese boy, and the editor-in-chief thought that there should be a relationship between them, so he sent things over.

Of the $3,000 checks, $2,000 was the first prize and $1,000 was the reward for the photos published by National Geographic.

Joseph didn't know why, but the boss laughed, and he laughed along, and he couldn't be wrong

National Geographic is one of the most well-known magazines in the world, with tens of thousands of photos submitted from all over the world every month, and the selection rate is less than 1 in 1,000, and the shooting cost can be compared to making a movie.

National Geographic shoots and writes an average of 150 feature stories each year, and for that reason, contracted photographers around the world travel more than 1 million miles, each costing hundreds of films.

I heard that in 1992, in order to shoot in deep water in Siberia, the photographer of the magazine, Christoph, transported 1 million dollars worth of 15 tons of photographic equipment to Lake Baikal, using a total of 171 boxes, and in the end only 6 photos were published.

In the eyes of most readers, this magazine means authority and science, it is more like an encyclopedia than ordinary magazines, and last month's cover of National Geographic magazine was one of Han Xuan's photos: his group of small feet.

At the beginning of the magazine, there is also a detailed description of the situation of Pisces Island in the Maldives, and it is said that there are countless couples who are preparing for their honeymoon, ready to try their luck, diving, corals and nothing else, the important thing is the fluorescent coast.

If Han Xuan knew that the photos he took triggered the early arrival of the Maldives tourism tide, and then made the Four Seasons Hotel and the White Horse Hotel pay attention to it early, he would definitely have to let the Maldives president award him a medal.

Unbeknownst to the boy, he was sitting in his room writing a book.

Yesterday I came back from Irvine, went to go to my grandfather Emperor Gate Pictures Company to go around, today I was going to go to Santa Monica Beach to play, but the temperature of thirty-seven or eight degrees, so that he was not interested in going out at all, after tanning on Pisces Island in winter, it took half a year for his skin to improve, although he didn't eat with his face, but he couldn't be like an Indian.

"Pirate Legend" is going very well, just wrote that the protagonist made a wish to the sea god Saivipotan and obtained the ice ability, unlike "Harry Potter" copied from the assembly line, now all the plots of this book need to be designed by themselves, it seems that it may not be completed in two years, fortunately, it is sold in parts, and the first book can be written with more than 200,000 words.

The sky is gradually getting dark, the central air conditioning has not stopped from morning to night, and now the work has finally stopped, the housekeeper hurriedly turned on the backup equipment, and contacted the manufacturer to send someone to repair.

After sitting for most of the day, his body was sore, and he stood up and twisted his waist, Han Xuan went downstairs to find something to eat in the kitchen.

Grandma was reading a book by the window, and when she leaned over, she found that she was reading Qiong Yao's novel "Smoke and Rain", the boy's grandmother didn't wipe her tears like a young girl, and her different ways of thinking made it difficult for her to accept some of the fragments, but she still relished, raised her hand and pushed Han Xuan's head away: "Don't move, block me." ”

After this novel was made into a TV series in the mainland, the name was "Love is Deep and Rainy", Han Xuan watched the whole episode at home during the summer vacation after graduating from junior high school, and some of the abusive episodes can still be remembered, funny: "Okay, since you say that I am ruthless, I am cruel, and I am unreasonable, I will show you ruthlessly, cruelly, and vexatiously!"

"Look! You are not ruthless, cruel, or vexatious, and now you are completely showing your ruthless, cruel, and vexatious side!"

Grandma couldn't close the book with tears and laughter: "Go, go, go! Your grandfather is coming back soon, and tells the kitchen that dinner can be made." ”

"Ask Mr. Adolf, or Ms. Haili?" Han Xuan raised his head and asked, there were more than thirty housekeepers and maids in this villa, each with a different division of labor.

Adolf was the chief butler hired by the old man from England, he served the Earl of Edward Spencer in his youth, and he hugged the current Princess Diana decades ago, and he was educated in pure English court etiquette to build a huge villa in good order.

As the only housekeeper, Haili is responsible for arranging the daily work of all the maids, mostly staying in the kitchen, laundry room and other places, Han Xuan has only seen her once when he comes to Beverly Hills.

The boy's grandmother looked at the novel in her hand again and waved her hand: "Just find Mr. Adolphus, don't bother me......"
