Chapter 709: A Hotel Heaped Out of Gold
Dubai's Burj Al Arab, also known as Burj Al Arab, is the world's most luxurious hotel, also known as the "Arabian Star". The splendour, extravagant Burj Al Arab is the world's first seven-star hotel.
The original idea for the Burj Al Arab was proposed by Al Maktoum, the UAE Minister of Defence and Crown Prince of Dubai, who dreamed of giving Dubai a Sydney Opera House, Eiffel Tower-like landmark.
Designed by British designer W.S. Atkins, the building looks like a sail full of wind, with a total of 56 floors and a height of 321 meters, making it the tallest hotel in the world, and taller than the Eiffel Tower in France.
After hundreds of world-class designers and five years of spending a huge amount of more than 1.5 billion meters, the dream building has finally been created - a perfect combination of strong Islamic style and extremely luxurious decoration with high-tech means and building materials, and the building itself has won numerous awards.
1.5 billion rice coins, which is equivalent to how many Huaxia coins, according to the exchange rate at the time, is about more than 120 billion Huaxia coins......
Who can imagine what kind of building it took to build at a cost of more than 12 billion Chinese coins? How luxurious, how extravagant?
Tang Dashao himself couldn't imagine that it was only when they really stopped at the gate of the Burj Al Arab that Tang Dashao really felt what luxury was......
Zheng Yating and Ah Bao sandwiched Tang Dashao in the middle, Ah Hu was still carrying two suitcases in his hands, and before the three of them reached the door of the hotel, a waiter hurriedly ran over and took the initiative to take the box in Ah Bao's hand, and by the way, he also made a gesture of please......
The three of them walked into the hotel lobby, and a waiter led the way to the front desk to check for accommodation, Tang Dashao looked around, it is worthy of being the most luxurious hotel in the world, just looking at the hall, you know, whether it is on the floor, or on the pillar, or even on the bar of the front desk service, there are golden yellow everywhere......
From Tang Dashao's professional point of view, these golden things, the cliffs are gold, full of gold......
With a movement in his heart, Tang Dashao's aura probed and stabbed straight to the ground......
"Gold is real gold, it turns out to be just a thin layer, I'll just say, it's not really a gold brick to be luxurious here......"
When he came to the counter, Tang Dashao just wanted to speak, but the lady at the counter came with an English ......
“excusemecanihelpyou?”
"Can you speak Chinese?" Tang Dashao said depressedly.
"Hello, do you need anything?" The lady at the counter came directly and spoke fluent Chinese language......
"Well, that's right, you've got the best room here, bring me two!" Tang Dashao said directly and very locally.
After so many near-death experiences today, now that I have come to this Burj Al Arab, of course I want to stay in the best room!
"The best room? Sir, the best room we have here is the Royal Presidential Suite for 18,000 kilometres per night, are you sure you want to book two? If it's just the three of you, you can book one, because the Presidential Suite has two bedrooms and two living rooms, which is enough for the three of you! The counter lady said.
"Wait, how much do you say? How much does it cost? Tang Dashao thought he had misheard......
"Eighteen thousand meters, sir!" The counter lady repeated it again, and then looked at Tang Dashao with a smile on her face......
18,000 meters? Why don't you grab it?
18,000 meters, equivalent to 1120,000 Huaxia coins, can only stay here for one night?
Many elites in China can't earn 100,000 yuan all year round, especially not enough to live here for one night......
"Hehe, Tang Fei, the Royal Presidential Suite here is very particular, since it opened, it has started at 18,000 meters, and now it is the off-season, we still have a room, and in the peak season, we can't make an appointment in advance and add money...... Zheng Yating explained with a smile.
Can't make a reservation for such an expensive room? What's more, there are really many rich people in this world......
"Okay, then book one, let me see what is the difference between the presidential suite here and the presidential suite in China......" Tang Dashao nodded.
"Sir, would you rather pay by card or cash?" The counter lady said.
"Swipe the card, I don't have rice coins, can I pay with Huaxia coins?" Tang Da Shaodao.
"Of course, sir, we will calculate the amount you need according to the current exchange rate, how many days do you need to stay?" The counter lady said.
"How many days? Let's wait for a day......" Tang Da Shao said.
Although I am very rich, I don't spend my money like this......
"One day? Okay, I will charge you 300,000 Huaxia coins, the excess is a late fee, please come and check out before 12 o'clock tomorrow morning! The counter lady said.
"Okay." Tang Dashao nodded, handed over his card casually, and then entered the password to complete the transfer, and Tang Dashao had three more door cards in his hand......
"Hello here, please, I'll take you to the room!" The waiter who had been leading the way made a gesture of invitation......
Entering the elevator, the waiter pressed the 25th floor, Tang Dashao looked at the elevator carefully, and found that the entire elevator, including the buttons of the elevator, was also gilded......
Nima, how much gold does this cost?
No wonder the hotels here are so expensive, not to mention that the facilities are really luxurious......
Looking up and seeing an oil painting hanging on the wall of the elevator, Tang Dashao habitually probed it......
"The Playful Child", an early work by the French painter Lezgne......
Nima, it's not for fun, it's real......
it, it's really hanging!
Although this Letzne has not heard of it, but from the information obtained from the identification, it is still very shocking, his authentic works, although not as good as Van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci and other top artists, but it is also a little famous, such a painting is estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of meters, just hang here so generously, and I am not afraid of being pried......
The elevator came to the twenty-fifth floor, and Tang Dashao came to their own room under the guidance of the waiter......
"Hello, distinguished guest, I am your butler Billy, and I will show you around the Royal Presidential Suite and how to use the tools here......"
Immediately afterwards, Tang Dashao walked into the Grand View Garden just like Grandma Liu, entered the entrance, was splendid, and under the leadership of the housekeeper, visited all the facilities in the presidential suite......
This time, Tang Dashao finally knew what it meant to be extremely luxurious......
The shelves for hanging clothes are gold, the shower heads are gold, the buttons on the flushing toilet are gold, and the nails that hold the glass to the wall are gold......
Gold, gold, gold!
This is a gold house, and every qiē facility inside is made of gold......
Of course, Tang Dashao has also probed, to be precise, it is gold-plated!
However, even if it is gilded, how much gold will be used up in this whole building?
It's no wonder that the construction cost of this building is more than 12 billion Huaxia coins, which is simply piled up with gold......
