Chapter 641: Dubai, the city of the rich, the land of gold, Shi Chong: Showing off wealth with spectacles is the right way
[Dubai, as the future city of the new century and the financial capital, is home to the world's top billionaires. ]

[Among the wealthy people who apply to immigrate abroad every year, 60% of them are targeting Dubai. ]

[And this place lived up to everyone's expectations and became the golden country in everyone's mouth. 】

"Golden Country! What a big mouth!"

During the Western Jin Dynasty, when the wealthy Shi Chong heard this, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

Even on a hot day, he still wore a brocade hat and a sable fur coat, and asked the maid beside him to fan him with a cattail leaf fan.

He endured the heat just to show off the luxurious coat he had just "bought" from Liaodong.

He was surrounded by a group of young men from aristocratic families dressed in green shirts.

Shi Chong was able to become wealthy thanks to his own initiative, which was to rob merchant caravans.

Because he was not only a nobleman, but also a local governor.

Shi Chong, who had been afraid of poverty since childhood, suddenly let himself go, robbing merchants and travelers, killing people and taking their property.

He tried so hard, but he only paved ten miles of his road with Shu brocade, but the alien city above the sky dared to call itself the "Golden Kingdom."

How could he endure this?
Also unhappy was Wang Kai, who was competing with Shi Chong for wealth.

Unlike Shi Chong who was born into a nouveau riche family, Wang Kai was a descendant of the Wang family of Taiyuan and a famous family.

Therefore, he disdains to rob merchants and travelers, and his choice is to intercept wealth directly from the source.

He was part of the caravan of all these business families, so Shi Chong's act of robbing people on the road made Wang Kai furious.

Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.

This is the mortal enemy!
However, the current Jin Dynasty has not yet declined, so Wang Kai cannot use force. He can only defeat the opponent in the area where he is most confident.

Shi Chong displayed the ten-mile Shu brocade, so he built a colorful forging shed with a radius of one hundred feet, and placed his treasures along the way for people to see.

He had originally gained the upper hand, but he didn't expect there was another expert?
Where is Dubai in the sky? So daring?
Even Shen Wansan, who was always cautious, couldn't help but look up at the sky.

With such ostentation in public, aren't you afraid that the local leaders or emperor will slaughter you and take all the money?

With such thoughts in mind, everyone's eyes were fixed on the sky.

【“Welcome to Dubai, the city of dreams!”】

Accompanied by a voice-over, the camera appeared high in the sky, on top of a helicopter, and several skydivers swooped down one after another, causing the audience to exclaim in surprise.

【“Wuhu!”】

[The skydiver is facing a huge gust of wind, and the small island below that looks like a palm tree is even more eye-catching.]

"What is that? There is such an island?"

Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian frowned.

Not to mention that these daring guys parachuted down, she had counted the paratroopers before, so she didn't care.

Instead, the several eye-catching islands below are of particular interest.

"They look more like the palm trees in Lingnan!"

Some Lingnan officials in the court couldn't help but speak up.

"Oh? Palm trees? Are there any islands with naturally occurring ones like that?"

Wu Zetian narrowed her eyes.

"That's impossible. Although the island is full of strange things, the surrounding area can never be so smooth!" "That means this huge island was built by the people of Dubai themselves!"

Wu Zetian murmured, a hint of shock appearing on her face.

Because of his own selfish desires, he reclaimed land and created an island for himself that has no other use except for being beautiful. Is this the legendary arrogance?
Even as the empress of the Great Zhou, Wu Zetian still felt like there was something stuck in her chest that was hard to describe.

On the other hand, Zheng Chenggong, a maritime expert, also noticed this and couldn't help but sigh:
"This city is so rich, it must have a long history. I wonder where it is located, is it near our Ming Dynasty? If it is close, we can consider taking advantage of it!"

As his father was a famous pirate, he felt no guilt about robbing the port, especially when the city was inhabited by foreigners.

He snatched the Wanwan Island from those red-haired people, but he still acts so arrogantly!
[When you enter Dubai from the highway, you will find that after crossing the endless yellow sand, at the end of the sky in the distance, covered by clouds, there are towering buildings. ]

[They are covered by light clouds, like a mirage in the legend, but as you get closer, a huge, futuristic city will appear in front of you.]

[What comes into view is the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa! ]

[This tallest building makes Dubai a landmark for travelers even in the vast desert! ]

"Building a city like this in the yellow sand! Oh my God, what a miracle this is!"

Li Yuanhao, the Emperor of Western Xia who had just proclaimed himself Emperor, could not help but open his eyes wide, not daring to miss a single detail.

"Dubai! I will take it!"

The greedy Qing Tianzi would not give up such a pearl, but now he does not have the ability.

Originally, he thought that the prosperous Xingqing Prefecture was already the largest city in the northwest and among the best in the world, but now, he has a new goal in his mind.

Shi Chong was also dumbfounded and bowed in worship.

The governor was so out of control that he didn't even care about his brocade hat and sable fur coat, and just looked up at the sky.

He felt like a complete country bumpkin as he looked at the reflective glass walls and the Burj Khalifa that could be seen from across the desert.

"So that's how it is. Only wonders can truly demonstrate wealth!"

Shi Chong suddenly realized something. He understood it! Everything before could only show his nouveau riche face, but now, he has understood that there is only a spectacle!
Only by building things that others cannot build can he truly become a wealthy man known to everyone in the world.

At this moment, Wang Kai also thought so, so the two of them hit it off.

Wonders!

The first emperor of the Qin Empire, Ying Zheng, had the same idea.

He looked at the huge tower above the sky almost greedily, then glanced at the ministers below and asked:
"Meng Tian? How is the progress of the Great Wall?"

Meng Tian stood up and answered respectfully:

"Your Majesty, it is already half built."

"Okay! What do you think, my dear ministers, if our Great Qin builds a tall tower in Xianyang?"

The steel forest of Dubai stimulated Ying Zheng, who always took the world as his responsibility. He felt that as the greatest man of this generation, he should leave something in Xianyang.

Those twelve bronze men were not worth mentioning. He really wanted to see what would happen to the remnants of the six kingdoms if he could build the tallest tower in the world!

"Your Majesty, please think twice. The Great Wall has consumed too much manpower. If you don't show sympathy, I'm afraid the country will be destroyed before our eyes!"

At this time, it was Li Si who stood up and advised Ying Zheng.

"If Your Majesty really wants to build a wonder, why not first take a look at how this city on the sky is cultivated."
