Chapter Forty-Three: An Island Wonderful
In just one week, Zhang Muzi's originally ordinary life has suddenly become turbulent and turbulent because he has encountered a huge and terrifying crisis, become a felony in the eyes of the Yuantai police, and obtain a strange object that can fuse species, create new creatures and help the host evolve.
People's judgment of the value of 'things' is always constrained by experience and insight in the subconscious.
For example, an indigenous person who has lived in the primeval jungle since he was a child, covering his body with leaves and animal skins, gathering and hunting for a living, even if he has heard that gold is worth a fortune, when he obtains a gold brick and an iron pot, he knows that the value of gold is thousands of times higher than that of the pot, but subconsciously he still feels more satisfied with the iron pot.
This is because gold is useless to him living in the jungle, while the pot can be used to cook food and improve his life.
For Zhang Muzi, the 'gray paste' is equal to the gold in the eyes of primitive people, and Shenluo Island is the pot, even though he knows that the value of the 'gray paste' with unlimited potential should be far above an island on the earth, but the excitement when he learns that he has 'Shenluo' is far above the various functions of the 'gray paste'.
This somewhat unreal, tremendous feeling of happiness and pleasure may last for a few days, and even when transiting at Seoul Airport, because he learned that there were regional flights on the Korean Peninsula in Shura Island, Zhang Muzi couldn't help but exclaim excitedly in front of the public, "Syenna Island is just a private farm after all, how can it be navigable?"
And Charles, who had always been by the side of the young new boss, couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face when he saw Zhang Muzi so surprised: "There was already a large military airport built by the Hichimaru people on the island, and the specifications of the runway and ancillary facilities were higher than the ordinary small civilian airports now.
Five years ago, I noticed that more and more people were coming to Silla Island, and many of them were from Seoul, Bukxian and Chungxian provinces, so I had the idea to renovate the abandoned airport on the island and ask several airlines to include Shonna in the feeder shipping lanes of the Korean Peninsula.
At first, it was true that no company was willing to cooperate with us, but it was after begging Haiyuan Trading, which has been selling our 'Korean cattle' and black pigs for decades, that we finally signed a contract with Korean Air for a weekly connecting flight.
As expected, the flight was full every time it was launched, and now we have signed regional airway contracts with four airlines, and there are direct flights to Seoul and the capitals of the Southern, Northern, and Central Xian provinces every day. ”
"You're really capable, Charles," Zhang Muzi stood in the spacious and bright waiting hall of Seoul Airport, with frosted marble floors, as if drunk, his cheeks slightly red and excited, "I can't imagine that those 'Hichimaru devils' have left us some good things."
"Muzi, the Himaru people left us not only a military airfield, but also built roads and railways across the entire island of Shenluo, the quality is like the Seiko products of the Himaru people, first-class good, and it has not been damaged much for decades," Charles laughed and gave us a thumbs up, "After a little tidying up, it has become a transportation network that runs through the whole island."
The train around the island is now the most attractive travel item in the whole of 'Shenluo', but unfortunately we can't build large hotels and resorts for tax exemption, but there are workarounds, and if you allow it, I plan to expand the scale of the tourism industry in the name of B&B, and play a dozen legal side balls. ”
"Charles, the biggest experience I have learned from watching my mother do things since I was a child is that when you don't understand something, the smartest thing to do is to listen to the advice of professionals, so please rest assured, I will trust you more than my grandfather, and if you think it's good, just do it. Zhang Muzi said in a powerful tone.
Obviously didn't expect that the boss, who was still a little immature in front of him, would say such a thing, Charles was slightly stunned, and said very formally: "In my motherland of England, there is a long-standing proverb called 'blood is the only thing that does not deceive people';
There is also a saying in Huaguo, 'dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and children born of mice will make holes', the meaning of the two sentences is similar, both refer to many people's personalities, qualities and even talents will be inherited.
And what you just said fully proves this, dear boss, although you are young and do not know much about management, but you already have the most important character of a leader, and it is an honor to serve an industrialist like you. ”
"Thank you. Zhang Muzi, who had never been so respected and praised by others, smiled and said: "Charles, your Chinese is so good that I am surprised by this authentic Chinese, and it is even incredible that I can even say such things as 'dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes...'." ”
"Muzi, you must know that although I was born in London, I followed my father, who was a businessman, to live in Beiping, the capital of inland China, at the age of eight, and I have been speaking Chinese for half my life at the age of forty-nine. Charles regained his relaxed demeanor, shrugged his shoulders and said, hearing this, Zhang Muzi couldn't help but laugh louder.
In such a harmonious atmosphere, the two chatted for a while, and the information of the flight to Shenluo Island began to scroll on the huge screen hanging overhead, and at the same time, a soft, pleasant, and clear female voice sounded in the waiting hall, and successively broadcast in Chinese, Korean, and English: "Passengers, the 'Korean Airlines' flight LU127 to Shenluo Island is about to..."
Hearing that the transfer flight was ready to board, Zhang Muzi and Charles ended their chat, and continued to embark on the journey leisurely, only less than an hour after boarding the plane again, when the last afterglow of the sun quietly sank in the west, an island full of black trees, grasses, and fields as far as the eye could see, appeared in front of their eyes.
Sitting in the cabin of a regional plane that can only carry more than 100 people, not only with narrow aisles, but also with seats that seem to be slightly smaller than international flights, Charles pointed to the island on the ground and whispered: "We have arrived at Muzi, which is your farm and the island." ”
"Yes, it looks much bigger than I imagined," when this island of its own was really within reach, and the unreality of Qiē gradually disappeared, Zhang Muzi looked out the window and said dreamily: "It's also much more beautiful..."
With his muttering, the plane descended slowly, taxied and landed smoothly under the guidance of the lights on both sides of the runway, and the lights that had just been turned off in the cabin were turned on again after stopping, and at the same time, the flight attendant began to say politely: "Passengers, the destination of this flight, Shenluo Island has arrived, and it is an honor to serve you on this journey..."
The vast majority of the passengers who took the 'Shenluo' flight were from the Internet to see the countless praises, tourists who came to the island, the short flight time did not diminish their fun, as soon as the cabin door opened, everyone picked up their bags and happily hurried off the plane.
Charles, who had already arranged a qiē on the phone, was not busy getting off the plane, but leisurely asked Zhang Muzi, who was sitting next to him: "Muzi, do you want to eat seafood or steak or Korean set meal or Chinese cuisine for dinner?"
"I don't want any of this, I just want to eat a big bowl of braised pork rice with tribute ball soup at the west end of the 'Yuanbei' Inland River Night Market. Zhang Muzi thought about it, the excitement on his face gradually disappeared, and he sighed and said, his appearance at this time is the common problem of many young people, and he is easily excited and depressed.
"I really can't get the braised pork rice from the 'Yuanbei' night market, but there is a delicious black pig on Shenna Island, which is famous for 'Han Dynasty', and the iron plate pork belly with a special salt-and-pepper spicy sauce is believed to be no worse than the braised pork rice in Yuanbei. Charles said with a smile.
"Black pig barbecue with special salt, pepper and spicy sauce," Hearing this, Zhang Muzi's eyes lit up and he stood up, "Sounds very good, what are we waiting for, Charles." He strode out of the plane.
Compared to the size of Seoul Airport, which ranks among the top five airports in the whole of Asia, Shenna Airport is naturally very insignificant, with only half of the four runways that have been repaired and maintained, and even if it is the LU127 flight that has just landed, there are only two planes on the entire tarmac.
But unlike the huge steel monsters in the city, this island airport built in the middle of the island, with a clear view of a towering dark green mountain, surrounded by dense jungle and meadows, and a pleasant sea breeze blowing, seems to be completely integrated into nature, making people feel relaxed and happy in it.
Especially when you step out of the cabin, through the bright moonlight, you suddenly see the mountains in the distance standing in the sky, the sudden magnificence and magnificence of that kind of natural creation cannot be experienced in any other airport.
Therefore, when Zhang Muzi and Charles were the last to line up among the passengers, and Shi Shiran stepped off the plane, the airport was already full of admiration with the characteristics of Korean and Korean dialects, "Dafa, that is Tiangong Mountain, it is really as magnificent as written in the online travel journal...";
"The scenery here is simply more beautiful than the pictures in travel magazines, and it's still night, it's really a big deal...";
"It's a miracle that there are such high mountains on an island, how can this be a private island, how can the government sell such an island instead of creating a national park...".
And Zhang Muziyao saw the Qijun Mountain peak hidden in the night in the distance, and after being stunned, he said in amazement: "Charles, that mountain is so magnificent, it looks like it is higher than Alishan." ”
"I don't know how tall Alishan is, Muzi, but the mountain in front of us is two thousand meters high, and in ancient times it was called 'Yinna', which means high enough to catch the Milky Way," Charles said with a smile, "And now it is called Tiangong Mountain because the only building on the top of this mountain is your family's temple 'Tianxing Palace'."
By the way, every time your grandfather came to Shenluo, he always stayed in the palace temple on the top of the mountain. ”
