Chapter 704: The Surging Crowd
……
"That's right, young master. In addition to what I reported to you before, there is one more thing I would like to tell you! ”
"What?"
"The state has passed the security facilities we have built in the 'Centipede Worm Valley'. Starting tomorrow, it will be officially open to the public! ”
"Smack!"
Wang Zheng high-fived him with a fist, and his face showed a hint of excitement.
"It's finally time for this day. I really want to see what kind of expression the world will show on the face of these big guys. ”
After a pause, "By the way, has that worm valley in the depths of Changbai Mountain migrated?" ”
"The remaining 2,177 centipedes have all moved to the 'Fuxi Space'. The traces left in the original valley have also been processed, so that no one will see the clues! ”
"That's good!" Wang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "According to the publicity plan we have formulated, let's start tomorrow!" ”
……
In the whole month of August, if there is anything more popular than the National Games, it must be "Wolf Warrior 2" starring Wu Jing. The plot that completely mobilized people's adrenaline and patriotic enthusiasm made the box office of the whole main theme movie, which was not favored by others, skyrocket.
As a matter of course, as the absolute protagonist of the movie. The attention that Wu Jing has received is also unprecedented. So, when he shared a link to a video on his Weibo. Thousands of people opened out of curiosity.
And the hideous big centipede in the video surprised everyone at its realism. However, when everyone thought that this was a special effect, Tencent News, Baidu News, Toutiao and other media shared this video simultaneously. Moreover, it is clearly written that this is not a special effect, but a real ancient remnant species from the Cretaceous period - the 'ancient centipede insect'!
With the spread of video and news, the whole of China became a sensation. And the timeliness of information also makes it inevitable to spread to almost every corner of the world that has the Internet.
Welcome to the Cretaceous! 》
That's the front-page headline of the New York Times.
Jurassic Park is all around us! 》
That's the front-page headline in the Los Angeles Times.
Ancient Legacy? Or is it a genetic monster? 》
This was the front-page headline of the French newspaper Le Figaro.
Regardless of the media's speculation, the world was in an uproar when the 30-meter-long troll-level 'Ancient Centipede Insect King' appeared in the video and reports.
Then, "Taoyuan Resort 'Centipede Insect Valley'", these ten words were deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone who saw the video and report. Because of this incident, the popularity of 'Taoyuan Mountain Resort' has surpassed the world's famous buildings and historical sites such as the Forbidden City, the British Museum, and the Egyptian pyramids in just a few days, and has become the world's top existence.
And with this fame comes the skyrocketing number of tourists to 'Taoyuan Mountain Resort'. Although it is not a national holiday. But just tourists from the provinces and cities near Taoyuan Villa are crammed with every space that can live in the villa.
Originally, Wang Zheng felt that the reception capacity of 650,000 people per month was enough. But when the guest rooms of Taiqingguan and Jinguang Temple were full, he knew what it was like to be in short supply at this moment.
Moreover, the tourism boom of Taoyuan Mountain Resort has just begun.
However, with the spread of the news of the 'Centipede Worm Valley', it is not all good news!
"What does the province say?"
After putting down the file, Wang Zheng frowned.
"The province has not come up with a unified opinion now. After all, more tourists means more GDP. But the voices of the people's worries cannot be ignored. Therefore, most likely, this matter will have to wait until the central government makes an idea! Uncle Zhong said.
Wang Zheng nodded, his frowning brows did not relax in the slightest.
"Young master, people's words are terrifying! Moreover, the ferocity and bloodthirstiness displayed by those centipede insects are indeed easy to cause fear in people. Once this idea is used by people with good intentions, it is easy to cause us a lot of passivity in public opinion. ”
"You mean relocation?"
"Yes! Isn't there a mission to 'Peach Garden Villa'? This just happened to be an opportunity! ”
Wang Zheng nodded, and after thinking for a moment, "Where do you think it's appropriate?" ”
"Since some people call our Taoyuan Villa 'Jurassic Park', I think it is better to simply choose a sparsely populated island in Nanyang to develop! Moreover, it is our own territory, and if other ancient species appear in the future, we will not have to be constrained as we are today! ”
"Okay." After thinking for a while, Wang Zheng nodded in agreement, "You are responsible for the site selection." Find the right one to notify me and start building. When that's not possible, get ready to relocate! ”
"In case of the government...!"
Wang Zheng understood the meaning of his words.
"The centipede insect is our own asset, we are going to relocate, and no one can interfere!"
Uncle Zhong nodded.
"By the way, has the person who is secretly causing trouble for us been found?"
"It's been discovered through the 'neuron' mastermind!"
"Who?"
Wang Zheng frowned.
"You know this guy too!"
Looking at Uncle Zhong's expression, Wang Zheng thought for a moment, and his face instantly turned cold.
"Fu Qihong?"
"Young Master's clever plan!"
Wang Zheng snorted coldly, "I guessed it was her." Now I can't think of anyone else who is against us everywhere in the country except this crazy woman! ”
The words fell, and after thinking for a while, "Uncle Zhong, you will go to Yuanba in a while!" Let him go to the capital and teach that crazy woman a lesson. Don't think that with the Fu family standing behind her, you can do whatever you want on our heads! ”
"Yes, young master!"
After the words fell, Wang Zheng raised his hand and looked at the time.
"Where's the arrangement?"
"The young master's old mansion!"
Wang Zheng nodded.
"Remember my explanation, go get busy!"
After letting Uncle Zhong leave, Wang Zheng took Wang Qian out of Zaohua Valley, just bypassed the green isolation belt in front of him, and came to the main road of Taoyuan Resort, Wang Zheng was 'hot' by the tourism boom in front of him.
Because the exit of Zaohua Valley is close to the main road in and out of Taoyuan Villa, the flow of people here is extraordinarily large. Tours with different signs, as well as individual tourists, rush in and out along the paved stone-paved paths. The noisy atmosphere boiled over, making the originally quiet mountain villa extraordinarily lively.
Looking at the scene in front of me, and the faces with curiosity and expectation. Wang Zheng, who was standing on the side of the road, looked at it for a moment and said with a smile: "This year, the revenue of our Taoyuan Resort will completely exceed the expenditure!" ”
"At least triple it!" Wang Gandao.
Wang Zheng nodded, "Let's go!" ”
The two joined the flow because Wang Zheng rarely showed his face in the media. So, no one around knew him. Walk to the T-junction leading to Wangjiawan, and after turning in, the flow of people is slightly less. On both sides of the bluestone road leading to Wangjiawan, lavender blooms in bloom into a sea of purple and pink flowers, and the intoxicating fragrance of flowers fills the surroundings with the breeze and sunshine in summer. Among them, the European-style buildings dotted around make people think of Provence in France, and the beautiful scenery makes too many people linger in it.
Therefore, after Wang Zheng crossed the old stone bridge and passed through the Qing River, there were a large number of tourists around him.
After crossing the old stone bridge, only two or three hundred meters ahead, there is a crossroads. On the left-hand side there is access to the museum, Jinguang Temple and Twenty-Four Flower Fairy Garden, and on the right-hand side there is access to the Fairy Grass Garden, as well as the Natural Beauty Area and Zoo Park. And directly opposite is Wang Zheng's destination, Wangjiawan.
Today, the renovated and redesigned Wangjiawan is no longer the dilapidated mountain village it used to be. It is a folk building that combines the style of Chinese classical courtyards and does not lose the quaint characteristics of mountain villages.
Although the price of living in these buildings is not like that of villa areas such as Langu, Meigu, and Zhuxiu Valley, you have to accept the price of three or four thousand to stay for one night.
Stepping on the mossy stone road at the corner, and climbing the steps to the middle of the villa, Wang Zheng saw his hometown.
Wang Zheng, who takes the Feixian Building of Yingke Valley as his home, basically does not come to live in the old mansion. However, because of the attachment in the past, there is no accommodation here. Instead, it became a place that Wang Zheng occasionally used to entertain guests.
As for the objects of hospitality, it is natural that there are people he doesn't really want to, or doesn't want the outside world to know that the two sides are in touch for the time being.
"Knock...!"
Walking to the door, Wang Qian took the initiative to step forward and knock on the door.
'Squeak', with a non-harsh grinding sound, the heavy wooden door was opened from the inside. Dian Wei's sturdy figure appeared in the eyes of the two.
"Boss!"
Wang Zheng nodded, "Are you in there?" ”
"I've been waiting for you for almost half an hour!"
"Oh, it looks like they're here early!"
After the words fell, he stepped over the door, bypassed the shadow wall, stepped on the stone path more than one meter wide, passed through the pavilions and water pavilions, set up a delicate and grassy courtyard, and entered the hall with an open door.
Hearing footsteps and seeing him enter, everyone in the hall stood up respectfully.
Wang Zheng raised his eyes and quickly swept away from everyone who said that he was very hurt, and stopped on the left front of a slightly chubby middle-aged man wearing a white cardigan coat, with a bald head, round eyebrows and eyes, and a three-point smile when he met people.
"Fifth Master Liu, don't come unharmed!"
"Don't dare, don't dare. Mr. Wang's status is distinguished and his status is extraordinary. If you don't dislike it, just call it 'Liu Wu' in the next voice! ”
Wang Zheng smiled faintly, nodded slightly, and then turned his eyes to look at a middle-aged man standing on Liu Wu's right hand, wearing a neat suit, with a thin figure, his forehead slightly protruding forward, and his narrow eyes, which was quite a bit hawkish and wolf-looking.
"Who is this...?"
"In Xia Li Zhengfang, it is really a privilege to meet the famous Mr. Wang!"
Wang Zheng nodded and looked at him for a moment.
"I wonder if the 'Three Treasures Fund' registered in Vancouver, Canada has anything to do with Mr. Li?"
Li Zhengfang's expression froze, but he quickly calmed down, "I didn't expect Mr. Wang to know anything about Li's net worth." ”
The Three Treasures Fund is an investment company under the name of the Li family, with more than a dozen properties worth nearly $100 million in affluent areas in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Toronto, and New York, plus some company stocks, and two farms that add up to about 6,500 acres, the entire fund is worth more than $300 million.
Of course, this amount of money is not enough for Wang Zheng. The reason why he pointed it out was simply that he wanted to take the initiative in the negotiations.
"You two may be seated!"
After smiling faintly, Wang Zheng waved his hand. Then he sat down in the main seat in the center of the living room.
Looking at Wang Zheng of the Malaysian Golden Knife, after Liu Wu and Li Zhengfang glanced at each other, the former beckoned, and the bodyguard who came with him walked up and handed him a wooden box that was originally in his hand. After Liu Wu opened it, he took out a slightly old scroll from it.
"Mr. Wang, I brought a little gift when I came, but I don't pay respect, please smile!"
As he spoke, Liu Wu untied the straps on the scroll, pressed a corner, and with the help of the bodyguards, spread it out on the coffee table with a little care.
"This is Shi Tao, one of the four monks in the early Qing Dynasty, "Lotus Society Map"?" Wang Zheng looked at it for a moment and said.
"Mr. Wang is indeed a connoisseur! This is Shi Tao's masterpiece "Lotus Society" in his later years! ”
Wang Zheng nodded slightly.
"This painting should be 6 square feet, right?"
"6.3 square feet!"
Soon, Wang Zheng was attracted by a pair of small bowls taken out by Li Zhengfang.
"Prepare a little courtesy, and I hope Mr. Wang will accept it with a smile!"
Thinking of his eyes, Li Zhengfang smiled and put the small bowl in front of Wang Zheng.
"Kangxi purple glaze enamel color peony longevity pattern bowl!"
After picking it up and appreciating it, Wang Zheng had a bottom in his heart.
After putting the things down, he leaned back on the back of the sofa, looked at the two of them and smiled: "There is a way: courtesy to people must ask for something." As soon as the two of them came up, they took out valuable gifts worth twenty or thirty million, I'm afraid it's not small, right? ”
"Mr. Wang misunderstood. Gifts are gifts, and we are sincere. Moreover, these two gifts are just appetizers. The two of us made a special trip to visit this time, and there is a great gift I would like to share with Mr. Wang! Li Zhengfang said.
"Oh?"
Wang Zheng's heart moved, "I want to hear it in detail!" ”
After the two glanced at each other, Liu Wuzheng said, "I wonder if Mr. Wang has heard of 'Li Zicheng's Treasure'?" ”
After secretly saying 'sure enough', Wang Zheng's face remained silent.
"Of course, I have heard that Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, has looted the countless treasures accumulated by Zhu Ming in the past three hundred years and retreated from the capital in defeat, and the rumors of 'nine donkeys and eighteen burdens' for hundreds of years have attracted the prying eyes of all parties." After a pause, Wang Zheng looked directly at Liu Wu, "Mr. Liu doesn't want to tell me, you know where this treasure is, right?" ”
"What Mr. Wang said is exact, I do know the clue to the treasure!" Liu Wu said solemnly.
"Really? Now that you know the clues, why don't you go looking for the treasure and instead come to me, an outsider? Wang Zheng said indifferently.
"Because the night pearl in Ma Zhicheng's hand is in the hands of Mr. Wang!"
