Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2455 Longhao Bay Hotel

Everyone in the room originally thought that Chen Xiaobing had a bit of a murderous air, but now they talked, they found that his attitude was easy-going, and his words were very humorous, neither pretending to be gentle nor poking faces like some naturalized cadres.I don't think they are all that close.

The city railway started slowly. After all, Chen Lin was a teenager. He was quite curious about the scenery along the way, and would ask questions from time to time.The scenery at the next stop was quite different from the previous one. There was a small town along the railway line, and various strange buildings were built there.There are also various flags flying on some roofs.Suddenly he saw a tall tower in the town - he recognized it: Isn't this the church of the Franzians?
"The houses here seem to be from abroad!"

Wu Yijun has been to Macau and has seen a lot of knowledge. He said with a smile: "These are all European-style houses. In addition to Francois, there are red-haired people, Englishmen, and Germans in Europe. They are all different, and the houses are also different. "

"So, isn't this the same as Haojingao?"

"That's right, and it's not right." Chen Xiaobing said, "If you want to say it right, this is the 'foreigner residential area' in Lingao. A small number of foreigners come from other places. So the houses are built according to the characteristics of their countries. There are even two churches. They belong to Europeans of different beliefs."

"Don't all Europeans believe in God?"

"Although there is one God, the teachings are different." Chen Xiaobing said, "The old and the new factions are even more fierce. They are still fighting each other in Europe."

"Then they won't fight here? They all live together"

"Fighting is inevitable, but if you violate the law, you will be severely punished. It is not easy for them to get a green card in high residence, and they dare not commit it easily. After all, they have traveled thousands of miles to China in order to make money."

"What is a green card?"

"A green card is an official certificate that allows foreigners to live in our country for a long time. With this official certificate, you can live, live and work in various places under the Senate. It is very convenient."

"Where is that wrong?" Chen Lin thought of something and asked again.

"What's wrong, that's the Portuguese in Macau—that is, the Defulangji people you mentioned. In name, they are under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate of Daming Xiangshan County, and they have to pay land rent every year, but in fact they have their own town. Yes, there are courts, there are troops, and money is collected. Once you pass through the gate, it’s like a foreign land. Here, they still have to act in accordance with the laws of the Song Dynasty.”

Chen's uncle and nephew heard this was just looking at a diorama, but Wu Yijun was quite emotional.Although he is not a foreign businessman, he has a lot of dealings with foreign businessmen on weekdays: when he goes to Luzon to get foreign businessmen, he often traffics in large quantities of dried fruits.Learn more or less.Knowing that the government of Ming Dynasty is extremely jealous of foreigners and does not want them to come.The foreign businessmen all said that this was nothing more than cheap money, and the Francophones in Haojingao made a lot of money in the middle.

The Senate didn't care about the foreigners, and let them live together in a corner, live and do business freely, treating them like citizens, which is really rare!
The train went all the way and soon arrived at Bopu.Due to the relatively poor hydrological conditions of the port, the port function of Bopu has gradually been weakened in recent years.The status of Bopu's original "Lingao Sea Gateway" has also continued to decline.A series of agencies such as customs, border inspection, and epidemic prevention originally located here have been relocated one after another, and even the cranes are much less.After the opening of Xinying and Hongbai ports, most of the imported and exported goods and personnel should enter Lingao through these two ports.

Although the throughput of passengers and goods has been greatly reduced, Bopu has a superior geographical location after all, as if it is the identity of Lingao Outer Port. There are still a large number of people and goods converging here, and the business is still very prosperous.

The delegation got off at Bopu Station.The Longhaowan Hotel where the delegation stayed is in Bopu.

As soon as we got out of the train station, a line of rickshaws was already waiting outside the station.Due to the local climate, it is difficult for Lingao to raise and use a large number of horses.The work of promoting horse-drawn carriages continued to suffer setbacks.Except for a small amount of production of two-wheeled and four-wheeled carriages for private use, public carriage systems were only established in the towns of Bairen, Laoxian, and Bopu. In addition, rickshaws were commonly used for short-distance transportation.Because of its lightness, convenience and low cost of use, it is not only widely used by natives and naturalized people, but many Senates also keep their own rickshaws and drivers.

The inspection team set off for the hotel with two rickshaws and seven or eight rickshaws.

The rickshaw convoy did not go to the township in the south, but headed west after leaving the station area.Walk along a seaside boulevard.

The seaside avenue is paved with cinders, which is wide and flat, and the Venus zero-style running on it is very stable, which made Chen's uncle and nephew riding a rickshaw for the first time very novel.Compared with the sedan chair, the rickshaw the two of them took together was indeed a bit crowded, but it was fast and stable, and it was not as bumpy as an ordinary car.It's a wonderful thing to be able to look around and look at the scenery.

On both sides of the seaside boulevard, rows of coconut trees are planted—there is a considerable distance from the road to prevent the coconuts from falling and hitting people when they are ripe.There are flower beds beside the road, planting all kinds of flowers and trees that cannot be named. Although it is January, the weather in Hainan is warm, and the branches are still in full bloom. The green leaves and flowers, the blue sky and the coconut grove make people feel that it is winter.

Although the seaside boulevard does not lead to the core area of ​​the town, there are not many pedestrians and vehicles on the road.There are not only rickshaws, but also many heavy-duty ox carts, pulling various goods and moving forward slowly.

Not too far away, there is a green fence on the side of the road, with lush flowers and trees inside, exposed by the eaves of houses.The uncle and nephew of the Chen family thought to themselves what kind of place this is, and after walking not far, they saw a majestic figure gradually appearing from the horizon.Chen Xiaobing, who was sitting in the first car, turned around and said loudly:

"Look! This is the holy ship!"

When they heard that this was the big iron ship used by the Australians to break through thousands of miles of sea, everyone widened their eyes and looked in the direction of the iron ship.Although the distance was far away, the majestic figure of the big iron boat left a deep impact on everyone.Huge cranes, tall chimneys, and a huge body like a castle...

Chen Lin lost his voice and said, "It's really spectacular!"

Chen Ding also said: "Sure enough, it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times!"

The rickshaw convoy passed by a gatehouse at this time, and it was only when Chen Lin saw the sign at the gate that he realized that the place surrounded by hedges was "Lingaojiao Park".Since the recovery of Guangzhou, the municipal government of Guangzhou has also set up Baietan Park, so he knows that the park is a place for people to rest and play.

The convoy didn't stop here, moving along the seaside boulevard, a red brick building began to appear on the horizon.Chen Lin was secretly surprised: This house is so tall!

This is the "Longhao Bay Hotel" where they will stay today.

The Longhaowan Hotel is not the property of the Senate, but was built by local wealthy businessmen who jointly raised funds to build it.These large households include both local aborigines and migrant households who have moved from other places.The leader is the Li family who are engaged in real estate development in Lingao University.Li Xiaopeng has made a lot of money since he developed several real estate projects for the big households who moved out of town.Seeing that the performance of the "Qiong'an Inn" that the family opened for wealthy households was also good, he thought that the hotel is also a way to make money.Then I planned to open a hotel.

Hotels are not uncommon in Lingao.Especially the hostels opened by Qiwei Group have always been famous for their cheap, high-quality, hygienic and comfortable hotels.It not only enjoys a high reputation in Lingao and Hainan, but also has many branches in Guangdong.After much deliberation, Li Xiaopeng realized that he has no advantage in this aspect, so it is not easy to directly compare with the benchmark.

Where is your own advantage?Li Xiaopeng summed up the way from the Qiong'an Inn. If he wants to open a hotel, he has to get ideas from the rich.Open an "Australian-style hotel" that the locals have never seen before.

Speaking of the Australian-style hotel, Li Xiaopeng also listened to the elders, especially the elder Hong Huangnan.Because of his relationship with No. 82 store, Hong Yuan devoted a lot of energy to the manufacturing and operation of luxury goods.But shop No. 82 is always the property of the Senate.With so many products developed by ourselves, the market capacity is limited after all only relying on the elders and their family members to consume.He has always deliberately selected local collaborators to reproduce a new No. 82.

Li Xiaopeng happened to be one of the big local aborigines who had been running around in front of him for a long time.Especially when it was Li Xiaopeng's idea to open Qiong'an Inn, Hong Yuan made a lot of suggestions on interior decoration, furniture furnishings, and service items.From this, Li also heard many anecdotes about the "Great Hotel in Australia" from Hong Yuan, and he couldn't help yearning for it.

So he found Hong Huangnan and shared his thoughts.Got support right away.However, Hong Yuan also said that the design, management, and operation software of this big Australian hotel can help, but the hardware construction of the hotel requires a huge sum of money, and the Li family's personal financial resources may not be able to open it.

Li Xiaopeng immediately said that it doesn't matter, he has many wealthy businessmen and friends who have moved to Laingao from other places, and they all have a lot of money in their hands. The only worry is that they have no place to invest and make money. If there is a good project, they are willing to contribute money.

So the project officially started.In the end, Li Xiaopeng attracted a total of [-] shareholders to raise funds to build this "Australian-style hotel".Named "Longhao Bay Hotel".

Longhao Bay Hotel is located on the shore of Longhao Bay on Haibin Boulevard.Not only is it adjacent to Lingaojiao Park, but it also occupies a private beach for the exclusive use of the hotel.The hotel is a five-story neoclassical red brick building with three restaurants and 48 rooms.The interior decoration is all "Australian style". Needless to say, the floors, running water, bathrooms, and flush toilets are also installed for the first time in a civil building with full electric lighting and manually operated elevators.There is also an open-air restaurant on the roof of the building, which is brightly lit at night.It can be seen from miles away.As soon as it opened, it attracted a large crowd of onlookers, and the streets were blocked.
