Chapter Thirty-Six: The Bricks We Moved Together in Those Years
The usual procedure for alien visitors to visit Earth is to first register at the customs center of the shipping building and then undergo some "disinfection". The spaceport can be controlled inside the shield, but not outside. After all the tourists entered the country, they came out in front of the gift center, behind the transparent window, there were rows of Yiwu small commodities.
"Chief Lin Qiu, do you accept Galaxy Coins here?" An insectoid alien asked, his child gazing greedily at a shelf of fly swatters.
"This is the only spaceport here that collects Galaxy Coins." Lin Fang said, "Other places don't know this thing. β
Dong Mo Tonggong nodded and introduced: "Our planet has not yet completed the unification of currencies, there are more than 170 currencies in circulation, and thousands of digital currencies. β
What the!? The alien tourists suddenly exclaimed, how can there be so many currencies on such a small planet? Won't it be troublesome? Won't it be confusing? Still playing currency wars and the like? It's too backward and primitive, I like it!
"And paper money is still available here." She added.
The exclamation was louder, and the tourists really wanted to see it, the paper money in the history books!
"We have prepared some earth banknotes for everyone, and the consumption here is settled according to the earth currency, so you can exchange some money first."
Dongmo Tonggong said and beckoned, "Someone." β
A group of business tycoons personally pulled a few black boxes, which were opened with a click, and they were full of cash, RMB and US dollars to be exact.
These money is they competing for private sponsorship, and several bigwigs also coincide with the business opportunities here, and black technology to get a breakthrough, and are fighting for how to use their company's mobile payment to receive Galaxy coins, so that alien tourists can pay quickly wherever they go.
She knew that they were very smart, but they still needed to learn about interstellar affairs, and people and tourists came to Earth with cash.
"Wow!" "It's the first time I've seen so much money with my own eyes." "It's so beautiful."
Alien tourists are amazed and take pictures with their axep phones, which really feels like traveling back in time and space to ancient times. For those visitors from planets that use "credits" as currency, there is an extra layer of exoticism; For those tourists on the planet who have long abolished "money" and never had the concept of "money", it is the most eye-opening and long-term insight.
A bland electronic voice came from the space ball of a bubble man tourist: "Banknotes, that's great." β
"What about the exchange rate between these Earth coins and Galaxy Coins?" Lin Fang said kindly, "The unification is 1:10, everyone is welcome to redeem." β
Next to him, Wei Miao held a bendable screen, which was the charging situation of each project: [Moving bricks: Experience the hardships and gains of the original manpower construction method, and leave unforgettable memories, the bricks we moved together in those years. Charge per visitor per hour: 250 Earth Dollarsγ
That is, if you move bricks for one hour, you have to spend 2,500 Galaxy coins?
The alien tourists looked at each other, as if they were a little expensive......
They are not a rich man, they have spent some money on the tourist boat, and this trip is only a budget of twenty or thirty thousand, so they can't play a few projects.
"Oh, I forgot to write it above, there is a big discount during the opening period." Lin Fang said loudly and boldly, "Move an hour and get an hour away!" Send enough for three hours and send two hours for more! β
Dong Motong pointed to the cash boxes and said, "We only prepared this money this time, and the quantity is limited. β
Suddenly, a six-headed Mohan man rushed forward and raised the Ansebo mobile phone in his hand, "All the 100,000 Galaxy coins have been exchanged!" "Later, he will sell it and make money back for the ferry ticket." It was as if the embankment had burst, and thousands of tourists scrambled for it. Dongmo Tong Gong shouted: "The upper limit of each person is 50,000 Galaxy Coins, everyone has a share, everyone doesn't have to worry." β
Watching the live broadcast of the earth audience, they were very confused, moving bricks? What the hell do these aliens think of Earth......
("It's a manipulation of the exchange rate!") Mr. President gestured angrily, "The reunification is 1:10? Are you sure? We are being taken advantage of, China!! βοΌ
Ding Ding, Dongmo Tonggong looked at the Shenyun account on his phone, and one transfer after another flew in, 50,000, 20,000, 30,000...... Exceeded 10 million!
"Did I tell you?" Lin Fang came over and took a look, "This vote can't be lost." β
"I can't lose, I can't lose." Dong Mo Tong's eyes were bubbling Β₯$Β₯$$......
That number eventually stopped at 12 million Milky Way coins, and the 1,000 visitors were actually about 400 families, with an average of 30,000 per household, and many tourists muttered that they had been emptied. The two also thought that the task of the tour guide is to make tourists continue to pay money and pay willingly.
Do you think a few thousand RMB/USD is enough? It's a week, and there's a time for you to spend money.
After the money was redeemed, a group of aliens followed Lin Fang and the three of them around the spaceport, which was really unattractive, and those alien children had no interest in that super small children's playground, and it was not a paradise of the gods!
"Okay, let's go now, real estate construction site." In front of the synthetic tree, Lin Fang announced the itinerary, and the tourists cheered.
The reporters followed the filming all the way, and the group went to the Bund in Shanghai through the conveyor booth, and then walked to a nearby construction site. The many exclamations of tourists are incredible, the buildings are so flat, the streets are full of ancient fuel trucks, and the indigenous people who use primitive mobile phones to take pictures of their ......
When they arrived at the construction site, the parents and tourists finally believed that they had come to the wrong place.
They stared at what they saw, if they had eyes: a yellow tower crane stood in the potholed ground, there were several unfinished buildings, excavators were dredging, trucks were bringing in rebar, construction workers were directing, workers were moving bricks.
The sun was getting stronger and stronger near noon, and they were sweating profusely, and they had to endure the rumbling of the machine, which was hard to look at, and uncomfortable to watch.
"It's amazing." The bubble man tourist said again.
Yes, visitors think that in the inner region, this kind of scene can only be seen in those virtual images or performance art.
That's the reason to spend money! If they just move bricks, they can move in their hometown, but such a real environment, this kind of atmosphere, only the earth can give.
"So, what's the project?" Lin Fang asked deliberately.
Wei Miao raised the bendable screen again, and Dong Motong bowed and read: "250 bricks per hour, 250 bricks per hour, 300 bricks per hour for excavators, and 500 pieces for tower cranes each time...... Lin Da shouted: "All one hour for one hour!" Send enough for three hours and send two hours for more! β
"I'm going to move bricks!"
"Get on the tower crane!"
"I'm going to drive an excavator!!"
Alien tourists are scrambling and shouting, they are not stupid, this construction site is so big, and there are absolutely limited places.
After a rush to rob, sure enough, the quota for moving bricks was snatched up, and the remaining tourists who couldn't compete were angry and hateful. Those who fought for it immediately began to experience, the Kaget rolled up a row of bricks with his nose, and a three-meter-tall alien directly picked up a pile of bricks...... As they moved, they urged their children to come and move together.
"Look at how hard these earthlings work, but they still work so hard. You have to learn this spirit of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness! β
"Son, let me tell you, all civilizations have developed in this way, and our ancestors have also moved bricks, come and move!"
"This is the spirit of craftsmanship, moving bricks!"
