As a newly established Brahma genesis online game company. Shen Ying's advantages in all aspects are incomparable to others, first of all, abundant funds, although she has taken out 500 million yuan of start-up capital in her own hands, but in fact her own private money is more than 2 billion, not to mention that she also has 30% of the equity of the merged Fenjiu Group and Kongfuyan Distillery.

The second is to have a broad publicity platform, several major portals have a good cooperative relationship with Huafeng.com, so this part of the promotional page has the advantage that ordinary people can't reach, and then there is a staff she can recruit at present, all of whom are experts in the industry, and with her and Fan Wuji's influence in colleges and universities, it is easy to recruit a large number of high-quality employees.

With these various superior conditions, it has naturally created amazing results, and the number of simultaneous online users of Brahma Genesis Online Game Company has quickly exceeded 200,000 people, and it has become a leader in the online game industry.

Once the company's management is on the formal channel, the boss has not much to worry about, and she began to build Internet café chain boutiques in major cities across the country according to Fan Wuxi's suggestion.

Regular chain Internet cafés. The advantage is that there is less trouble, because the management is very standardized, restricting the entry of minors, coupled with the elegant environment, well-equipped, in addition to Internet services, it also provides services like file printing and some other data services, which is very popular, especially Fan Wuxian specially provided a preferential policy for Shen Ying's Internet café, all users who surf the Internet here, when using QQ software, can use the video service function provided up to now for free, which is also very attractive to netizens.

"Why don't you approve of building too large Internet cafes? Haven't you always emphasized winning by quality, why do you now have to make so many Internet cafes like sowing seeds? Shen Ying was a little curious about Fan Wuxi's suggestion.

From now on, if you build some large Internet cafes with hundreds or even thousands of installed capacity in big cities, not only will the operating costs be relatively low, but the popularity will also be very strong, and the scale will be more likely to be valued and protected by the local government.

In this way, more than 10 Internet cafes will be built in every big city, but the investment in real estate alone will exceed tens of millions, if the provincial capitals of the country are calculated. Coupled with the investment in equipment, I am afraid that more than half of Shen Ying's savings will be thrown into it.

"This is actually the way KFC or McDonald's operates, but it also adds Chinese elements." Fan Wuxian explained to Shen Ying, "When you justifiably buy a lot of real estate in the name of opening an Internet café, you will not be offended, because you are investing in a new industry, you are contributing to the improvement of the domestic network environment, and while making money, you also improve the taste of a city, which is very popular." ”

Shen Ying nodded, and continued to listen to Fan Wuxian talking to him there.

"The Internet café industry is not a long-term solution, once the domestic network construction flourishes after a few years, coupled with the gradual decline in the price of computer products, it can be said that every family can access the Internet at home, at this time the prospect of the Internet café is very poor, so the Internet café to make money is a few years to make." Fan Wuxi said to Shen Ying, "Once this time comes, you will also earn enough in the early stage, and the Internet café industry at this time needs to limit the number of people entering the industry, so it is difficult to approve the qualification of Internet cafes." In addition, your real estate in those prime locations has appreciated a lot at this time, so if you sell the licenses of these Internet cafes and sell these real estates, you will not dare to say that you have invested more funds, but it will be no problem to double it by one or two times when the time comes. ”

"Oh, so you want me to diversify my investments, in fact, under the guise of real estate appreciation and making money from Internet café licenses?" Shen Ying asked.

"Yes, don't look at the fact that the Internet café license is not worth much now, but in a few years, it will be more and more difficult to approve, and a license is worth more than a store." Fan Wuxian said to her.

The first stop for the two was the United Kingdom, which was invited by the British royal family.

One of the most important things to do when visiting London is to watch Buckingham Palace, especially the Changing of the Queen's Guard for a limited time, which is a gorgeous, spectacular, and ancient show with heritage value.

The famous Buckingham Palace, a four-storey square grey building with a stately main entrance with the royal coat of arms, is the center of the Crown's power, surrounded by a high fence. There are more than 600 halls and rooms in the palace, such as ceremony halls, concert halls, banquet halls, galleries, etc., as well as the imperial garden, which covers a vast area, and the flowers are full of flowers and beautiful.

The square in front of the palace is full of statues, as well as the Queen Victoria Memorial, the most eye-catching is the golden statue of the goddess of victory, who stands on a high marble platform, as if she had fallen from the sky, and the golden angel on the statue of Queen Victoria, which represents the royal family's desire to recreate the glory of the Victorian era.

Since Queen Victoria's accession to the throne in 1837, Buckingham Palace has officially become a royal palace and has been the residence of the British royal family ever since. It is also the Queen's office and residence. It is said that some of the palace's houses are still available for tourists to visit during the summer months, so thousands of tourists from all over the world flock to the palace.

After Fan Wuxian got off the plane, representatives of the British royal family came to greet him, using a traditional van carriage, and the guards in traditional costumes followed him on horseback, and just like that, they came to the outside of Buckingham Palace.

"I wonder if the queen is in the palace?" Shen Ying looked out curiously through the glass window.

"It's easy—" Fan replied, "If you want to know if the Queen of England is in Buckingham Palace, it's very simple, you just have to look up above the main entrance of the palace to know, if the royal flag is hoisted, it means that the Queen is inside, if not, it means that the Queen is out." Obviously, today the queen is not in the palace. ”

"Doesn't that mean we have no one to receive?" Shen Ying said with some regret.

"How is that possible?" Fan Wuxian shook his head with a smile and said, "There will always be nobles with noble status to do this, after all, the queen is already old, and if she often receives foreign guests, she will feel powerless." ”

Fan Wuxi's guess was not bad at all, although the important figures of the British royal family were not there, they also left a high-status royal duke to receive Fan Wuxi. The duke, who was in his sixties, was stocky and somewhat spherical, but he looked very energetic, not only polite, but also funny, and took the two men on a tour of Buckingham Palace.

Those who have visited the palace have been impressed by the simplicity of the palace, and the life of the queen and her husband is not overly luxurious, at least in their daily life, and the furniture is not gilded or bearing the mark of a famous mahogany furniture maker, it is a very functional piece of furniture.

The only one that can show the Queen's deep pockets. The paintings hanging on the walls of her apartment are strikingly high, and they are not only signed by European masters, but are often hung in rotation from the royal collection.

From the outside, the golden statue of the goddess of victory is in the front, behind is the light gray Buckingham Palace, the goddess of victory at the top of the high marble sculpture, like an angel, open arms to welcome the victory, and the blue sky actually has no clouds, just suitable for the background of the golden goddess.

Underneath the statue are figures surrounded by statues of the goddess of divine beauty, and those statues are made of white marble and cast in bronze.

The palace lanterns on the square are very artistic, which not only has the historical sense of the palace lanterns, but also has the artistic style of cast iron craftsmanship.

Isn't it also pleasant to sit on the grass in front of Buckingham Palace and enjoy the caress of the July sun while waiting for the changing of the guard of the royal guards?

Looking around, directly in front of the statue of the goddess of victory is a thoroughfare, with many tall pillars, and on the pillars are various sculptures, which can make people stop and think.

It didn't take long for the changing of the guard ceremony of the Royal Guards to begin, and it was also the show that attracted the attention of passers-by and tourists the most. At this time, the onlookers are like coming out of the ground, and groups of people are swarming up, but despite this, everyone is still relatively orderly.

The Buckingham Palace's Royal Guards hold a changing of the guard every morning from 11:30 to 12 o'clock in the morning from April to September, and every two days in other months.

The big white horse in front of him is vigorous and handsome.

The guards were dressed in bright red uniforms, and the first commander was draped in gold and silver. Holding a guard of honor, very mighty, behind him was the orchestra of the Wang Family Guard, all of them playing with their cheeks puffed up.

There are also drummers behind the first phalanx, this is a real drum band, well-trained, playing while marching, and the pace is quite neat.

Onlookers were already sprinting with spears and starting to shoot, and some rode up to their companions' necks to get a better angle.

Although there were not many guards in this phalanx, the pace was quite uniform, but the pace was a little chaotic at the back, the honor guard entered the end, and the guards who were gradually moving away were about to return to their camp, and the pace was naturally slack.

However, in Fan Wuxi's view, from this point alone, it can be understood that the decline of the British Empire, the rise of other powers, and the replacement and then hegemony of the world, is really inevitable.

Afterwards, the two men, accompanied by the Duke and his entourage, visited Westminster Abbey.

Speaking of the biggest scandal of the British royal family in modern times, it is nothing more than the grievances and grievances between Prince Charles and Princess Diana for more than 20 years.

The super luxurious, super grand, super romantic, fairytale-like wedding of the century was held in Westminster Abbey, when the royal families and nobles of European countries came to congratulate, and Britain was even more jubilant.

Westminster Abbey at this time is another witness of centuries of history.

The church is located in Parliament Square in Westminster-on-Thames, London, adjacent to the Houses of Parliament and the Prime Minister's residence at 10 Downing Street.

The church's twin towers are both resplendent and tranquil, and are considered masterpieces of English Gothic architecture.

The façade of the church has a high spire, as well as huge rose windows. I feel that the church is very high, and the exterior wall of the church is a bit mottled, I don't know if it is the erosion of hundreds of years of wind and rain, or the people who built him back then in order to pursue this sense of vicissitudes.

Westminster Abbey is also known as the exclusive church of the royal family, and the imam and his laws are determined by the royal family, and the coronation of the royal family is mostly held in Westminster Abbey.

The kings of the British dynasties, including the current Queen Elizabeth, basically sat on the throne here, and they are also buried here a hundred years later, as the cemetery of the royal family, the last funeral here is Princess Diana, who died in Paris due to a car accident, and it is only three years from now.

"I should have sent some flowers to her grave—" Shen Ying said to Fan Wuxian.

Someone immediately arranged this matter, and soon Shen Ying got the flowers, and then under the guidance of everyone, she went to Diana's tomb and sent a bouquet of flowers.

Fan Wuxi shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, probably many girls are more obsessed with this kind of fairy tale of princes and princesses, and Shen Ying is naturally no exception, but in fact, some things are not so beautiful.

"In fact, there is a horrific rumor about Westminster Abbey, that after the death of Cromwell, the protector of the British bourgeois revolution, his head hung on the spire of Westminster Abbey for decades." Fan Wuxian said to Shen Ying.

"So horrible?!" Shen Ying was suddenly taken aback, and couldn't help but look at the top of the tower, but found nothing.

Behind the church, there are some graves of famous politicians, scientists, military strategists, and writers, including Churchill, Newton, Darwin, Dickens, etc., as well as the famous tomb of the unknown soldier during the First World War.

It is an honor for British celebrities to be lucky enough to enter Westminster Abbey behind them, and they are either buried in the church or have a monument erected here, which is one of Britain's most famous historical museums.

There are no pop-ups
