v2 Chapter 317: Prince Gong's Mansion

"Get in!" The bodyguard opened the door of Rolls Royce.

The sanitation workers looked at the luxurious decoration inside, but couldn't move their legs for fear of staining the inside.

"No, no, I don't have to go, I can go home and lie down for a few days!"

"This is what our boss ordered. If you don't send you to the hospital, our boss will blame us!" said the bodyguard, and stepped forward, helping the sanitation workers to walk into the car.

The sanitation worker is a middle-aged person in his 40s or 50s, with gray hair, black face and wrinkles. After being pushed into the car, he sat in the car, only looking left and right, not daring to move when restrained. When the car was just started, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly called: "My tricycle! My tricycle is still outside!"

"It's okay, put the tricycle here first. Later, you can contact other people to help you take the car back!" The bodyguard replied, turning his head.

The jaws of passers-by fell off, feeling that the life of the sanitation worker was really good. I didn't expect that others would not only want him to lose money, but also send him to the hospital!

"Envy, he can actually ride in a luxury car worth tens of millions of yuan!"

"What's a few million? That car costs 10 million US dollars. It is an extended commemorative Rolls Royce, the most famous luxury car in the world. If it is exchanged for RMB, it will be at least more than 100 million yuan!!!"

"One hundred million?!!!" The people around were stunned!

"You said, what would it be like to sit in a car worth more than 100 million yuan?"

"It should be the same as sitting in Simmons!"

"Cut, hillbilly, other people's seats are high-end cars, and they feel the same as sitting in Simmons. I don't see it!"

"Fuck, then what does it feel like to sit on it!"

"This... I haven't sat before, how can I know!"

Not long after, the reporter rushed over and heard that a super expensive Rolls Royce was parked here. Bacheng guessed that Henry Williams lived here.

When the reporter arrived, he saw four foreign bodyguards standing at the door, 80% guessing, becoming 100% sure.

Then someone described what had just happened to reporters.

The reporter listened. My heart was overjoyed, haha, the front page has "The Mind of the World's Richest Man"! ! !

"Due to an accident, the owner of Toyota Motor in Japan drove into a tricycle of a sanitation worker, and then the tricycle crashed into the Ivanhoe car of Henry Williams, the richest man in the world. However, what is surprising is that Henry Williams not only did not want compensation, but also sent sanitation workers to the hospital for treatment! I have to say that Henry Williams has a big mind and is admirable. No wonder he can become the world's richest man!!!"

...

"Eating!!" Kailena's mother brought up the last dish-kimchi fish, and shouted.

There are only ten dishes in the full table. Although not many, it is enough for four people.

There are teriyaki chicken wings in the ten dishes. Overlord whole elbow, Sichuan-flavored boiled pork slices and so on, the greedy Henry's saliva came out, especially the elbow, fat and tender, especially wanting to take a bite, and the Sichuan-flavored boiled pork slices have been warm. When heated, it exudes a spicy and fragrant smell...

"Henry, come out and set off firecrackers together!" Kailena shouted to Henry.

Henry was startled slightly. He hasn't celebrated Chinese New Year since he crossed. Setting off firecrackers before dinner on New Year's Eve seems to be a long time ago.

"Okay, here I am!"

At this time, Lu Zhishan had already taken out the firecrackers.

"Uncle, I'll let it go!" Henry walked forward and said with a smile.

"Good!" Lu Zhishan smiled. He handed Henry a roll of red firecrackers in his hand, and then gave him a lighter.

Henry spread out the firecrackers, then turned his head and looked at it. Kailena was standing in the distance looking at him, her hands still covering her ears.

Henry smiled slightly and said, "I want to order!"

immediately. Henry lit the fuse and immediately turned and ran away. At this time, there was a "cracking" sound behind him.

Listening to the sound of the firecrackers, Henry couldn't help but recall the scene of the New Year with his parents in his previous life. It was the happiest and happiest moment...

Henry looked forward to and remembered, until a pair of warm hands hugged his waist, Henry didn't react.

"What are you thinking about, come in to eat!" Kailena said softly.

"Nothing, let's go, go in for dinner!" Henry's expression quickly recovered, smiled at Kailena, took her hand and walked into the house.

After entering the house, Kailena's mother greeted Henry to sit down quickly.

"It's dinner, it's dinner," Yang Jing said to Henry, "Henry, eat more if you want, you are welcome, just treat it as your own home!"

"Thank you auntie!"

"Henry, drink or drink?" Kelena's father asked.

"I'll be with you, I will drink whatever you want!" Henry laughed.

"Then open a bottle of Moutai and drink it!" Lu Zhishan said happily, "No one has accompany me to drink in the past New Years. Fortunately Henry is here this year!"

"If uncle likes it, I will come to drink with you every Chinese New Year!"

"That's a deal. You will come over and spend the New Year with us next year!"

Henry nodded and said, "Okay, no problem!"

Afterwards, Henry drank with Kailena's father and wanted to eat vegetables, praising his aunt's cooking skills. Kailena's mother smiled and kept picking Henry with vegetables. Fortunately, the dishes were more delicious, otherwise Henry would not be able to eat.

The belly of Henry's last meal rose up, and he drank a little white wine, his face flushed slightly.

In the evening, everyone sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala. I don’t know how many years ago it was like this kind of thing! Even in his previous life, Henry rarely sat with his family to watch the Spring Festival Gala. However, sitting together to watch the Spring Festival Gala now makes Henry feel deeply, quite missed!

"Let me tell you gently, the stars in the sky are waiting, share your loneliness and your joy..."

On TV, Yang Yuying is singing "Tell You Softly". Kailena's mother seems to like this song very much. While watching TV, she hums to the music!

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Yang Yuying is not only beautiful, but she also sings well. This song "Tell You Softly" is really nice!"

Henry smiled: "Auntie, if you like listening to her sing, I will ask her to come home to sing for you!"

Yang Jing waved her hand and said with a smile: "This is no longer necessary. Auntie doesn't chase the stars. It's just listening to the song. There is no need to invite people over!"

"Oh, then forget it." Henry nodded.

The 1995 Spring Festival Gala made Henry see a lot of young faces, except for the ***, Andy Lau and others. Also let Henry see...Peng Liyuan! Sister Peng and Xi Da were secretly married in 1987...now they look very young and beautiful.

After a while, the Spring Festival Gala was about to end, and the song "Cannot Sleep Tonight" suddenly sounded. At this time, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers rang out in Beijing. Kailena quickly took Henry to the house to watch the fireworks, which spread out. It is as bright as the stars, so beautiful.

Kailena hugged Henry's arm and looked at the sky in a daze, "It's so beautiful!"

"Yes, it's so beautiful!" Henry looked at Kailena's stunning face under the fireworks, which was particularly charming.

Henry kissed her little mouth, Kailena was taken aback for a moment, and quickly reacted, responding very enthusiastically.

At this time. Henry and Kailena's every move was seen by Lu Zhishan and his wife standing at the door of the house.

"How to arrange at night, do you give them a room for each person, or..." Lu Zhishan asked.

"You are stupid, you don't see it yet, the two of them are already there!" Yang Jingbai was like her husband.

"Haha, that's oh!" Lu Zhishan's old face was taken aback, and he laughed.

...

...

In the evening, Henry and Kailena went to Wushan together, and only woke up at noon the next day.

When Kailena met her parents. His face flushed slightly. Lu Zhishan and Yang Jing pretended not to know, and prepared lunch. After lunch, Kailena suggested to take a stroll in Beijing. Lu Zhishan smiled and said, "You two can go, we've all walked around in Beijing!"

then. Only Henry and Kelena were left to go shopping.

Because Kailena's parents lived in Wangfujing, and Wangfujing was famous mainly because it was once the residence of the princes of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so it was called Wangfujing. Later, many dignitaries like to live here. In order to contaminate some of the noble spirit of the royal family!

Today, Wangfujing has become the most famous commercial street in Beijing, and Mingyue Supermarket is built here!

Henry and Kailena walked around casually, and then came to Mingyue Supermarket. Depending on the scale, at least tens of thousands of square meters, for the current China, it is a super supermarket! The government gave the green light to Lu Zhishan to capture such a large piece of land in Wangfujing.

Henry and Kelina walked in and took a look. The goods were dazzling. However, the most important thing was some domestic products. There were also foreign products, but very few.

On the first day of the new year, there are many customers in the supermarket, and the business is very hot.

Opening a supermarket in Wangfujing is almost a daily gain. Depending on the situation, it won’t take long to open a branch!

In 1995, Carrefour and other foreign supermarkets entered China one after another. If Ming Yue supermarkets want to develop and become a leader in Chinese supermarkets, they must be ahead of them!

Henry thought to himself that when he comes home later, he should mention it to his uncle, telling him to open more branches as soon as possible, and even to enclose the land first, buy some places with heavy traffic, and open a store in the future.

Henry and Kelina strolled around Wangfujing for a while, then drove to see Prince Gong's Mansion.

To see Prince Gong’s Mansion was proposed by Henry. Henry wanted to buy a courtyard house in Beijing. He heard that Prince Gong’s Mansion was the largest courtyard house in China, so he wanted to see how Prince Gong’s Mansion was...

Wangfujing was not far from Prince Gong’s Mansion, and I drove there quickly.

Prince Gong’s Mansion has gone through the historical process of the Qing Dynasty from its heyday to its decline, and it carries extremely rich historical and cultural information. Therefore, there is a saying that "one Prince Gong’s mansion, half of the history of the Qing Dynasty" is the largest and most complete one in the Qing Dynasty. Palace. Currently, Prince Gong's Mansion is only open to the public in the Palace Garden.

When Henry arrived at Prince Gong's Mansion, Beijing Mayor Xie Guoan also rushed with a group of people.

Nima, sure enough, under the foot of the world, every move can't escape the government's surveillance!

"Mayor Xie, happy new year!"

"Mr. Williams, happy new year!"

Mayor Xie Guoan smiled, "Are Mr. Williams and Miss Lu here to visit Prince Gong's Mansion?"

"Yes," Henry laughed. "However, I heard that it seems that I can only visit the Palace Garden."

"Yes, but that is for ordinary people. If Mr. Williams and Miss Lu want to visit, I am willing to be a tour guide myself!"

"Oh, thank you so much!" Henry laughed.

Under the guidance of Mayor Xie Guoan, Henry and Kailena entered Prince Gong's Mansion. Prince Gong's Mansion covers an area of ​​more than 60,000 square meters. It is called "the best mountain and water in the city" for its splendor. It is also famous for its mansion system comparable to the Forbidden City.

After Henry's tour, he not only secretly smacked his tongue, but also a palace of Prince Gong, a treasure of geomantic omen!

The first half of Prince Gong's Mansion is a magnificent mansion, and the second half is a deep and beautiful classical garden. Its residences are solemn and solemn, with simple and elegant architecture, bright corridors and ridges, and magnificent, second only to the palaces where the emperors live. The Cuijin Garden at the back of the mansion is surrounded by water and mountains, with towering ancient trees, curved corridors and pavilions, which are rich and natural. During this period, the scenery is volatile and opens and closes in a precise manner, which is indeed a model of Chinese garden architecture.

In addition, the location of Prince Gong's Mansion is excellent. Mayor Xie introduced to Henry that Beijing is said to have two dragon veins, one is the earth dragon, which is the dragon vein of the Forbidden City; the other is the water dragon, which refers to the line between Houhai and Beihai, and Prince Gong’s mansion is on the connecting line between Houhai and Beihai. It is on the dragon veins, so Feng Shui is very good. Historical books once described Prince Gong’s Mansion in this way: “The Crescent River surrounds the house like a dragon pan, and the West Mountain looks like a tiger standing in the distance!” This is the Feng Shui of the Prince Gong’s Mansion!

To Henry's surprise, He Shenhe, a wealthy and greedy man, once lived here.

As soon as Henry and the others walked out of Prince Gong’s Mansion, Henry directly asked Xie Guo’an: “Write the Mayor, how do you sell Prince Gong’s Mansion?”

When Xie Guoan heard this, he staggered.

"Mr. Williams, this is a key cultural relics protection unit in China and is not for sale!" Xie Guoan said.

"Not for sale?" Henry's mouth floated slightly.

"Is one hundred million dollars enough?"

"Mr. Williams, this is really not for sale, not for sale!"

Henry stretched out five fingers and said lightly: "Five hundred million dollars!"

Xie Guoan's expression was shocked when he heard 500 million US dollars, but in the end he shook his head.

"One billion dollars!"

Xie Guoan wanted to shake his head, but this time, he couldn't shake anyway...

One billion U.S. dollars, with the current U.S. dollar purchasing power, is almost equivalent to 10 billion yuan. 10 billion yuan to buy a palace is simply appalling!

"Mayor Xie, what do you think of buying Prince Gong's mansion for 1 billion US dollars?" Henry asked with a faint smile.

Xie Guoan felt his mouth was dry at this time, and could hardly speak: "This~lightnovelpub.net~this..."

"Mayor Xie, this is my first visit to China, so I brought you a meeting ceremony," Henry asked Mayor Xie Guoan as soon as his voice changed, "Yuanmingyuan twelve zodiac animal head bronze Like, I wonder if Mayor Xie has heard of it?"

"I've heard of it!" Xie Guoan replied, faintly guessing what Henry was going to give away.

"Yes, you are right, what I want to give you is one of the bronze statues-the dragon head, I hope you like it!"

"On behalf of China, I thank Mr. Williams!"

Henry smiled slightly, and immediately took Kailena to sit on his Rolls Royce, and said to Xie Guoan when he left: "Mayor Xie, regarding Prince Gong's Mansion, please consider it carefully!" Henry finished speaking. He closed the door and told the driver, "Drive!"

"Yes!"

The car quickly disappeared, and Xie Guoan and a group of members of the leadership group looked at each other.
