Chapter 317: Prince Gong's Mansion

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

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

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

"This is what our boss ordered. If we don't send you to the hospital, our boss will blame us!" The bodyguard said, then stepped forward and helped the sanitation worker into the car.

The sanitation worker is a middle-aged and elderly person in his 40s and 50s with gray hair, dark complexion and wrinkles on his face. After being pushed into the car, he sat inside, just looking left and right, not daring to move. The car just started, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly shouted: "My tricycle! My tricycle is still outside!"

"It's okay, put the tricycle here first, and later, you can contact someone else to help you bring the car back!" The bodyguard turned around and replied.

The passerby's jaw dropped in surprise, and he felt that the life of the sanitation worker was so good. He didn't expect others to not only want him to lose money, but also send him to the hospital!

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

"What millions? That car costs 10 million dollars. It's an extended commemorative Rolls-Royce, the most famous luxury car in the world. If it is converted into RMB, it will be at least 100 million dollars!!!"

"One hundred million?!!" Everyone around was stunned!

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

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

"Cut, hillbilly, that's a high-end car seat, and it feels the same as sitting in a Simmons, I don't know!"

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

"This... I have never sat before, how would I know!"

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

When the reporter arrived, he saw four foreign bodyguards standing at the door, and he was probably guessing. became ten percent sure.

Then someone described to reporters what had just happened.

When the reporter heard it, he was overjoyed, haha, the front page has - "The Mind of the World's Richest Man"! ! !

"Because of an accident. The owner of a Toyota car in Japan hit a sanitation worker's tricycle, which in turn hit the Ivanho car of Henry Williams, the world's richest man. However, it is surprising that Henry Williams Not only did Williams not ask for compensation, but he also sent sanitation workers to the hospital for treatment! I have to say that Henry Williams has a big mind. It is admirable. No wonder he can become the richest man in the world!!!”

...

"Let's eat!!" Kaelina's mother shouted as she brought the last kimchi fish.

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

Among the ten dishes were Teriyaki Chicken Wings, Bawang Whole Elbow, Sichuan Boiled Pork Slices, etc. Henry's saliva came out, especially the elbow. It's fat and tender, I especially want to take a bite, and the Sichuan-style boiled pork slices have been heated by a warm fire, exuding a spicy and fragrant smell...

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

Henry was slightly startled. He hadn't celebrated Chinese New Year since he traveled. It seemed like a long time ago to set off firecrackers before dinner on New Year's Eve.

"Okay, here I come!"

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

"Uncle, let me go!" Henry said with a smile as he stepped forward.

"Okay!" Lu Zhishan smiled. He handed a roll of red firecrackers to Henry, and then gave him a red roller lighter.

Henry spread out the firecrackers, then turned his head to look, Karina was looking at him from a distance, her hands covering her ears.

Henry smiled slightly and said, "I ordered it!"

Immediately, Henry lit the lead and immediately turned around and ran away. At this time, there was a "crackling" sound behind him.

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

Henry looked forward to and remembered, and it was not until a pair of warm little hands hugged his waist that Henry could react.

"What are you thinking, I'm in the house for dinner!" Kaelina said softly.

"It's nothing, let's go, go in to eat!" Henry's expression quickly recovered, he smiled at Kaelina, took her hand and walked into the room.

After entering the house, Kaelina's mother called Henry to sit down quickly.

"Eat, eat," Yang Jing looked at Henry and said, "Henry, eat more of what you want, don't be polite, just treat this as your own home!"

"Thank you auntie!"

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

"I'll accompany you, I'll drink whatever you want!" Henry laughed.

"Then open a bottle of Maotai and drink!" Lu Zhishan said happily, "No one accompanies me to drink with me during the New Year's Eve. Fortunately, Henry is here this year!"

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

"That's for sure. Next year, you will come over to celebrate the New Year with us!"

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

Afterwards, Henry was drinking with Kaelina's father and eating vegetables at the same time, and praised his aunt's cooking skills. Kaelina's mother smiled and kept serving Henry's dishes. Fortunately, the dishes were delicious, otherwise, Henry wouldn't be able to eat them.

Henry's stomach swelled up at the end of the meal, and he drank a little white wine, his face flushed slightly.

In the evening, everyone would sit and watch the Spring Festival Gala together. I don't know how many years ago something like this happened! 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 and miss it!

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

On the TV, Yang Yuying was singing "Tell You Gently". Kaelina's mother seemed to like this song very much. While watching TV, she hummed softly to the music!

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Yang Yuying is not only beautiful, but also sings well. This "Tell You Gently" is really good!"

Henry smiled and said, "Auntie, if you like to hear her sing, I'll ask her to come to the house and sing for you!"

Yang Jing waved her hand and said with a smile, "There's no need for this. Auntie doesn't follow the group. It's just listening to the song, there's no need to invite people over!"

"Oh, that's fine." Henry nodded.

The Spring Festival Gala in 1995 allowed Henry to see many young faces. In addition to the "hot girls", Andy Lau and others, Henry also saw... Peng Liyuan! Sister Peng and Xi were secretly married in 1987... Now they look very young and beautiful.

After a while, the Spring Festival Gala is about to end. The song "Sleepless Tonight" suddenly sounded. At this time, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers sounded in Beijing City. Kaelina hurriedly took Henry to the outside to watch the fireworks. The fireworks were scattered, shining like stars and extremely beautiful.

Kaelina held Henry's arm and looked at the sky. Stupidly stupefied. "so beautiful!"

"Yeah, it's so beautiful!" Henry looked at Karena's stunning face under the reflection of the fireworks, which was particularly charming.

Henry kissed her little mouth, Kaelina was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, and responded very enthusiastically.

At this time, every move of Henry and Kaelina was seen by Lu Zhishan and his wife who were standing at the door of the house.

"How to arrange the night, is it to give each of them a room, or..." Lu Zhishan asked.

"You're stupid. You can't see it yet, the two of them have already been there!" Yang Jing gave her husband a white look.

"Haha, that's it!" Lu Zhishan's old face was stunned, and he laughed.

...

...

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

When Karina saw her parents, her face flushed slightly. Lu Zhishan and Yang Jing pretended not to know and prepared their lunch. After lunch, Karina proposed to go shopping in Beijing City. Lu Zhishan smiled and said, "You two just go. We've all visited Beijing!"

So, only Henry and Karena were left to go shopping.

Since Kaelina's parents lived in Wangfujing, they went shopping in Wangfujing first.

Wangfujing became famous mainly because it used to be the residence of the princes of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so it was called Wangfujing. Later, many dignitaries also liked to live here, in order to be contaminated with some royal nobleness!

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

Henry and Kelina strolled around casually, and unknowingly came to Mingyue Supermarket. Looking at the scale, there are at least tens of thousands of square meters. For the current China, it is a super-large supermarket! And Lu Zhishan was able to win such a large piece of land in Wangfujing without the government giving the green light.

Henry and Kelina walked in and took a look. The goods were dazzling, but the most important ones were some domestic products, and 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 a day-to-day investment. Judging from the situation, it won't be long before a branch will be opened!

In 1995, Carrefour and other foreign supermarkets entered China one after another. If Mingyue Supermarket wants to develop and become a leader in Chinese supermarkets, it must be ahead of them!

Henry thought to himself that when he got home later, he would mention it to his uncle and tell him to open more branches. He could even enclose the land first, buy some places with high traffic flow, and open a store in the future.

Henry and Kaelina strolled around Wangfujing for a while, then drove to see Prince Kung's mansion.

Henry proposed to see Prince Gong's mansion. 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 what Prince Gong's mansion was like...

Wangfujing was not far from Prince Gong’s mansion, and we drove there quickly.

Prince Gong's Mansion has gone through the historical process of the Qing Dynasty from its heyday to its decline, carrying extremely rich historical and cultural information. Therefore, there is a saying that "a Prince Gong's Mansion, half of the history of the Qing Dynasty", is the largest and most complete building in the Qing Dynasty. Wangfu. At present, only the palace garden is open to the public.

Henry had just arrived at Prince Gong's Mansion, and the mayor of Beijing, Xie Guoan, came with a group of people.

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

"Xie Mayor, 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?"

"That's right," Henry smiled, "but, I heard, it seems that you 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 the tour guide in person!"

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

Under the guidance of Mayor Xie Guoan, Henry and Kaelina entered Prince Kung's mansion. Covering an area of ​​more than 60,000 square meters, Prince Kung's Mansion is known as "the best landscape in the city" for its splendor.

After Henry finished the tour, he not only smacked his tongue secretly, but also a palace of Prince Gong and a treasure land of feng shui!

The first half of Prince Gong's Mansion is a magnificent mansion, and the second half is a deep and beautiful classical garden. The building of its mansion is solemn and solemn, Shangpu goes to China, the Ming corridor is connected to the ridge, and it is imposing, second only to the palace where the emperor lived. The Cuijin Garden at the back of the palace is surrounded by water and surrounded by mountains, towering ancient trees, curved corridors and pavilions, which are beautiful and natural. During this period, the changing scenery, opening and closing, is 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; That is, on the dragon vein, so Feng Shui is very good. History books once described Prince Gong's mansion: "The crescent river surrounds the house like a dragon, and the west mountain looks like a tiger in the distance!" This is the feng shui of Prince Gong's mansion!

To Henry's surprise, Heshen and his lord, who were wealthy and greedy for money, once lived here.

Henry and the others just walked out of Prince Gong's mansion, when Henry asked Xie Guoan directly, "Mayor Xie, how can I sell Prince Gong's mansion?"

Xie Guoan stumbled upon hearing this.

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

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

"Is $100 million 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 was shocked when he heard the $500 million, but finally shook his head.

"A billion dollars!"

Xie Guoan wanted to shake his head, but this time, he couldn't shake it no matter what...

1 billion US dollars, with the current purchasing power of US dollars, is almost equivalent to 10 billion yuan. Buying a palace for 10 billion yuan is simply appalling!

"Mayor Xie, what do you think of the $1 billion purchase of Prince Gong's Mansion?" Henry asked with a faint smile.

Xie Guoan felt that his mouth was very dry at this time, and he was almost speechless: "This, this..."

"Mayor Xie, this is the first time I've come to China, so I brought you a welcome gift," Henry changed his voice and asked Mayor Xie Guoan, "The zodiac animal head bronze in Yuanmingyuan Like, I wonder if Mayor Xie has heard of it?"

"I heard of it!" Xie Guoan replied, vaguely guessing what Henry was going to give.

"Yes, you guessed it right, I'm going to give you 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 pulled Kaelina into his Rolls-Royce, and said to Xie Guoan as he left, "Mayor Xie, please think about the matter of Prince Gong's mansion!" After Henry finished speaking, He closed the door and told the driver, "Drive!"

"Yes!"

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