As the capital of a country, Male is simply shabby.

Wang Zijun took his wife and children around Male for a long time, but only found a car in front of the president's official residence. Oh, and by the way, there are some trucks on the docks. The other passers-by walked in unison, and the occasional bicycle or two were advanced means of transportation.

Compared to the rest of the island, the dock area is much more prosperous, and it is the business district of the whole island. It used to be the home of British colonial troops, but after the independence of the Maldives, it became a freeport, and some ships from the Pacific, the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea would anchor here. Most of the Maldives' foreign trade is also carried out here.

Compared to Brooke. The resort island that Hall built is obviously much more lively in Malé. When the merchant ships at anchor in the harbor were resupplying or loading and unloading cargo, the crew would disembark and relax in Malé.

Unfortunately, the Muslim tradition here has banned bars and nightly entertainment. The most enjoyable thing for the crew to do is to sunbathe on the beach or soak in the unpolluted waters.

As far as the south and south-west of Malé are dotted with handicraft workshops, which are now almost entirely residential, as well as a few poor handicraft workshops made from local products such as coconuts and shells, which are sold to disembarking crew and tourists visiting the island.

Abdul took Wang Zijun and others for a whole day to enjoy the Islamic customs and the characteristics of the island country. At the end of the day, Lin Qingxia's three daughters all hung some handicrafts, and Lin Yi couldn't put it down and looked at his conch whistle, but he didn't dare to blow it out loud, because he used the conch whistle to make noise on the street before, and was spanked a few times by his father.

Many of the most important buildings on the sea are retained in the British colonial style, and occasionally mosques with a strong Islamic style can be seen.

Sunset is the fourth time of the day for Muslims. On the minaret outside the temple, a loud Muslim shouts with a megaphone. Soon a group of Muslims gathered.

"This mosque allows women to visit, generous Mr. Wang. You can take your family inside to see it. I need to do a prayer. With that, Abdul trotted into the crowd of worshippers.

Wang Zijun picked up Lin Yi and retreated to the back with the others, watching from a distance as a large group of Muslims chanted and bowed in the direction of the holy city of Mecca. Then they kowtow and kneel together. The beautiful sunset in the Maldives seems to shroud this large group of people with a layer of sacred and solemn light.

"Dad, are they worshipping Mazu?" Lin Yi suddenly asked, Mother Liu at home will worship Mazu every day, so the little guy will ask this.

Fortunately, Lin Yi speaks Chinese. Otherwise, if these Muslims hear about it, they will rush en masse.

Wang Zijun explained: "They are worshipping Allah and the Prophet. ”

"What is Allah and the Prophet?" Lin Yi asked again.

Wang Zijun said: "Walking with Mazu Niangniang." ”

"Mother-in-law said that Mazu Niangniang will save people in the sea, and Allah and the Prophet will also save people in the sea?" Lin Yi has the posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

Wang Zijun said: "No, their business scope is different. It's like your mother-in-law is in charge of cooking, and your Aunt Mieda is in charge of playing with you. ”

"Oh. So who is responsible for cooking and who is responsible for playing games, Allah and the Prophet? Lin Yi asked his father seriously.

Wang Zijun looked at Lin Fengjiao speechlessly. Lin Fengjiao covered her mouth and forced herself to laugh, she was afraid that the laughter would cause dissatisfaction among the Muslims who were praying.

After playing in the Maldives for more than a week, Lin Qingxia, Lin Fengjiao and Zhao Yazhi learned to play beach volleyball. Every day with Brooke. Hall's mistress, Camille, had a lot of fun. Brooke. With the help of his team of thinkers, Hall finally thought it through. …,

"Wang, I think we need to talk about the issue of shares first." Brooke. "It's okay to cooperate. I have to be at least 60 percent. ”

Wang Zijun spread his hands and said, "Then there is no need to talk about it?" ”

"Why don't we do it separately. How many islands are developed by one person. You will do the publicity, and I will be responsible for establishing the tourism channels of each country. "Brooke. Hallau.

Wang Zijun smiled: "It sounds like I'm at a loss." Publicity is all about spending money, and you have the most important travel channels. Are you the angel who came to me to sow love? ”

Brooke. Hall smiled awkwardly, looked at the four beauties who were playing beach volleyball, and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

"My suggestion is that we form a Maldives international tourism group that takes care of everything. Otherwise, if each link is separated for cooperation, unnecessary interests will inevitably rush out. I don't want to take advantage of you, and I don't want to be taken advantage of by others. Wang Zijun said, "Moreover, I must have more than 51% of the shares, and I can add a little more to the investment." ”

Brooke. Hall scratched his forehead and said, "Are you really afraid that I will give you up and find someone else to cooperate?" ”

Wang Zijun said: "What benefits can you get as any partner?" Stronger collaborators than you may not give you the bulk of their interests. A collaborator who is weaker than you, what are you going to do, why bother to share his pie? And most importantly, the promotion of the Maldives, who can do it well with the least investment? You've done tourism promotion for the Maldives and you know how difficult it can be. And I'm definitely sure of success. ”

"Your success is unfounded." Brooke. Hall retorted.

"My name is the proof." Wang Zijun said confidently, "It's not just movies, don't forget, I'm also the author of Harry Potter, I'm also the owner of Paradise Games, and my console not only has a huge loyal user base in the United States, but also sells well in Asia and Europe." I put all of this together to promote the Maldives, and you can imagine what the effect would be. ”

"Games?" Brooke. Hall wondered, he could still understand novels and movies, what to promote through games?

"It's very simple, come up with a couple of games related to the Maldives. For example, "MapleStory Island", "Passionate Naval Battle" and so on, each level of the game begins with a sentence in the player's own language - welcome to the Maldives! Wang Zijun said with a smile.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa...... Wang, you're a genius. "Brooke. Hall could have imagined that films, novels, games, television, print media, and street advertising would all come together to make the Maldives world-famous overnight.

Wang Zijun said: "So, I said very politely. For you, Mr. Hall, I am the ideal collaborator, and you are just one of my options. I could have taken my plan and went to someone else, like Mr. Hilton, the hotel magnate in the United States. ”

Brooke. Hall pouted, "If you find Hilton to work with." He's not going to just have a 60% stake like I do. ”

"That's why I came to you first." Wang Zijun grinned and said that he was not patronizing and playing these days.

Lee Kyung-ho left the day after he arrived in the Maldives. Put Brooke. Hall's bottom was roughly touched. This old guy is not only in the UK, but also has many hotel chains in France, Spain, and Italy. However, his business is only in Europe, and he does not invest in Europe, Asia and the United States like Hilton Hotels.

At the insistence of Wang Zijun, Brooke. Hall eventually agreed to Wang's suggestion. Wang Zijun invested 150 million US dollars. He invested $100 million to form a joint venture with the Maldives international tourism company. Wang Zijun is in charge of publicity, Brooke. Hall is responsible for building a worldwide tourism channel for the Maldives. …,

As for the construction and management of the various resort islands in the Maldives, it is a very tedious and meticulous job, and many professional tourism and hotel management talents have to be recruited. This can all be left to the headhunter.

Now the first step is to communicate with the Maldives government, first complete the issue of buying an island and visa-free travel to the Maldives, and then carry out the construction and publicity preparations for the resort island at the same time.

The president of the Maldives at this time was Gayoom, a democratically elected dictatorship who came to power only last year. Although he was obsessed with power, Gayoom relied on methods that bordered on dictatorship to consolidate his position. But he was not a dictatorial tyrant.

Gayoom was educated in the West and his ambition at this time was to make the Maldives a modern and prosperous country. It's a pity that the resources in his hands are pitiful. The Maldives has been very slow to develop.

Gayoom understands very well. The greatest resource of the Maldives is its paradisiacal beauty. Not only did he know, but his predecessor also knew, but he started to develop tourism seven years ago. In addition to the capital city of Malé, the Maldives has only developed a total of two resort islands.

Gayoom has been in power since he came to power. He was re-elected until 2008, when he stepped down and served as president for 30 years, and it can be said that the future Maldives was developed in his hands.

After a year, Gayoom's position as president has been fully cemented, and he is preparing to try to contact hoteliers from Western countries to invest in the Maldives. At this critical time, Wang Zijun and Brooke. Hall came to the door with $250 million.

$250 million!

Gayoom, who was so poor that he almost ran out of pants to wear, almost jumped up with excitement, and the democratic dictator completely saw Wang Zijun and Brooke as holy envoys sent by Allah to save the Maldives.

There is nothing else in the Maldives except that there are many islands, of which less than one-tenth are inhabited at this time.

Gayoom sent his henchmen to form an investment mission. With Wang Zijun and Brooke. Hall visited the islands for a month.

Using information provided by the Maldivian government, Wang Zijun and Brooke divided the islands into five grades. The highest-level islands are called five-star islands, which are naturally open to the rich in the future, and the lowest-level one-star islands are all small desert islands with no development value.

In the end, Wang Zijun and Brooke bought all the five-star islands, and the ownership of the islands belonged to the Maldives International Tourism Group, and the sovereignty remained with the Maldives government, which was obliged to pay taxes to the Maldives government.

In addition, Wang Zijun and Brooke also bought a small half of the four-star island. And Wang Zijun, who had so much money that he had nowhere to spend it, privately bought a batch of four-star islands out of his pocket, three of which were named Bixia Island, Phoenix Island and Lingzhi Island, as gifts to Lin Qingxia, Lin Fengjiao and Zhao Ya's three daughters. As for the rest, let it be empty for the first time, and after the Maldives is hot, it will be sold to hoteliers and private individuals who are interested in buying the island, and the price will at least several times higher.

No way, the islands in the Maldives are too cheap at this time, and many islands that look good are not as expensive as the diamond necklace around Lin Qingxia's neck.

Lin Qingxia, Lin Fengjiao and Zhao Yazhi's three daughters stayed in the Maldives for more than a month, giggling and playing carefree every day, Lin Yi and Xiao Feiyu were also crazy, and never quarreled to go home.

Hong Kong's Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has long ended, and Zhong Chuhong, who is known as the "most beautiful Hong Kong sister" in the previous Miss Hong Kong beauty pageants, only won the fourth place.

Tsui Hark's film debut "Butterfly Change" also shined in the Hong Kong summer file. Although due to the concept of "new martial arts" that Wang Zijun came up with early, "Butterfly Change" did not cause such a big response as it should have been, but due to the help of Wang's Pictures and Yongsheng Film Company, which cooperated with Huaqiang and Wang Zijun, this film, which was originally only released for a week and won a box office of 1.15 million Hong Kong dollars, has exceeded 3 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, and it will continue to rise. …,

Jiayi TV's program reform has been very successful, and the news programs added in the evening have won the unanimous popularity of ordinary citizens because of the large number of reports on people's livelihood news that are close to the lives of citizens. Every night, there are countless elderly people and housewives in Hong Kong, watching the livelihood news of Jiashi after the TV series is broadcast.

Of course, there were some things that went wrong. For example, after someone was exposed to a scandal, he gathered a group of old boys to surround the gate of Jiashi, and finally asked the police to come and get it away. The result is not over, after these old boys came out, they ambushed a Jiashi employee on the road, and was seriously injured and went to the hospital.

If Jiashi's livelihood news has attracted a huge audience of housewives, then the "City Forum" proposed by He Zuozhi was finally changed by Wang Zijun into a talk show similar to "Qiang Qiang Threesome", which attracted the attention of intellectuals and students as soon as it was broadcast.

Since the discussions are all about the sensitive topics of the moment, even some departments of the British government in Hong Kong will use some of the ideas in the Urban Forum as a reference. Opinion articles in various media outlets often quote the views of the City Forum.

In a sense, although the ratings of "City Forum" are slightly lower than those of Minsheng News, its influence is much greater. The host of "City Forum" and the interview guests who often come to record the program have also quickly become popular, and two of them are ready to publish books.

And the Tai. Over there, "One King and Three Queens", which Rolling Stone Records is preparing to support, has also started early promotion. Qi Qin, who was the first to appear on the TV show, amazed the station with a song "Wolf". The music scene quickly has a large number of fans.

Zheng Zhenkun was a little surprised by this, he knew that Rolling Stone Records was made by Wang Zijun, but it was impossible for him to stop the suppression. Platform. There are so many record companies and singers in Bay, it is impossible for him to finish the business alone, and even because of Wang Zijun's face, Rolling Stone Records is also preparing to borrow the sales channel of Haishan Records.

Zheng Zhenkun was most angry at this time, where did this damn Wang Zijun go? The song of the new record has been recorded a long time ago, waiting for him to come back to do publicity, and this disappearance is more than a month. If Wang Zijun hadn't said that he was going to travel, Zheng Zhenkun would have gone to the police and disappeared. (To be continued)
