The manufacturing industry of pen & fun & court www.biquge.info mainly textiles is also quite developed, and almost all of its products are exported overseas.

……
……
Qing Xuan hung up the phone, took off his glasses, and revealed a pair of childish eyes.
"I said man, where are you going to stay for me?"
When the car left the Macau airport and drove in the direction of the Lisboa Hotel, Qing Xuan asked casually.
"Young Master, it's your first time in Macau, right?" JIKE ASKED, INTENTLY DRIVING.
"Well, yes, what's wrong?"
"The lord knows that you are here for the first time, so he specially ordered me to arrange for you to stay at the Lisboa Hotel."
"Hotel Lisboa? Isn't that the hotel opened by Macau's famous gambling king Stanley Ho? Qing Xuan was a little surprised, and a little surprised.
"Yes, you're right, it was Mr. He who drove it. How's that, you're satisfied, right? ”
"Satisfied, quite satisfied." Qing Xuan leaned back on the wide seat in the back row, revealing a cheerful expression. He rolled down the window and looked out the window, eager to catch a glimpse of the legendary casino.
The subtropical monsoon blows from the South China Sea, and the humid moisture of the sea penetrates the car window, and a warm wind blows in the face, mixed with the unique smell of the city, giving it a sense of intimacy.
Next to the road, there are tall betel nut and coconut palms. The betel nut trees are tall and straight, and the coconut palms are adorned with large, green coconuts. Many East-meets-West buildings tell the city's history in silent language, and the skyscrapers in between, interpret modern civilization.
The occasional rickshaw that flashes around it has become a unique sight in the city – what was once the mainstream of transportation in the last century is now preserved as a living fossil of a city's history.
The variety of people on the sidewalks indicates how open the city is.
The car drove past the Macao Polytechnic University, and Qingxuan, who is also a graduate of the Polytechnic University, has a special affection for the Polytechnic University. Somehow, looking at this red-brick and blue-tiled institution of higher learning hidden in the shade of green trees, Qing Xuan suddenly felt a little more intimate in his heart.
Although he has not yet obtained his graduation certificate, his student days seem to have gradually drifted away from him, and the stories that happened in his student days have become scorched negatives with the washing of time, and now he is facing an unknown future - they are either colorful or simple and monotonous.
When the car turned over Avenida Dr. Suaris, a giant birdcage-like building appeared in front of Qing Xuan's eyes. JIKE SAID THAT THIS IS THE FAMOUS CASINO IN MACAU, THE LISBOA HOTEL, AND IT IS ALSO THE HOTEL WHERE QINGXUAN STAYED THIS TIME.
Completed in 1970 (much older than Qing Xuan's age), this hotel is the flagship casino of Macau's gambling king Stanley Ho. Because of its unique architecture, it attracts thousands of domestic and foreign tourists to visit and stay here every day, and there are also huge gamblers from all over the world who come here to gamble. For tourists from the mainland, needless to say, if you can come here to take a look, you will feel that you have no regrets in life, and you seem to have a show-off conversation with relatives and friends about your children and grandchildren after you go back.
The car is parked in the parking lot. QINGXUAN AND JIKE ENTERED THE HOTEL LOBBY SIDE BY SIDE. The dome painted with angel frescoes, the huge glass chandeliers, the European-style staircase, the ornate pillars, and the smooth marble floor that can illuminate the human figure, this magnificent momentum is all breathtaking!
If he hadn't known beforehand, he would have thought he had stepped into a gorgeous palace. And in one of the most gorgeous rooms in this palace, there lives the world-famous king - the gambling king Stanley Ho, a world-famous figure, a legendary figure known to both the upper and lower classes.
Led by the waiter into the pre-booked room, along the way Qing Xuan looked left and right, the gringos who passed by him smiled and said bird language that he didn't understand, and when they saw Qing Xuan, they nodded and smiled at him, and he smiled back to them. "Come from all over the world to get together, why do you have to know each other when you meet." Qing Xuan thought.
Qing Xuan's room is on the thirteenth floor, which is a spacious presidential suite, and the room is fully furnished:
A large double bed, spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, modular fabric sofa, warm floor lamps, brown carpets painted with classical patterns, LCD TV, 21-inch tablet bed and a variety of stylish decorations.
Separate bathroom and a long balcony. From the balcony, you can see the scenery across the street. The walls are covered with delicate wallpaper, and there are also several famous oil paintings, and the light pouring down from the roof of the shed hits the oil paintings, adding a bit of texture to the oil paintings.
There is a minibar in the corner of the bedroom with complimentary drinks. There was also a very small fridge. There is no kitchen. This is the only difference between a hotel and an apartment.
The waiter handed the room key to Qing Xuan and exited the room. JIKE still had something to deal with at the company, so he sent Qingxuan to the hotel and left, saying that he would come back in the evening.
There will be a watch in the evening.
In addition, I would like to recommend a good-looking novel to my friends and invite everyone to watch it.
