Chapter 1590 The First Step
A few people talked and laughed, and soon came to the island where the treasure was found. I just had little contact with him before and didn’t understand Bao Zixuan’s character. Only now do I realize that this young man is much better at communicating than he thought. He is very easy-going and does not have the airs of the world's richest man. Although they are considered a figure in Hollywood, in front of real tycoons, they will still regard you as a wage earner!
In Bao Shoufang, I don't feel domineering or condescending at all. Maybe this is the difference. The wealth reaches a certain amount and the realm reaches a certain height. Maybe you don't care about too many external affairs at all, and always give people a feeling of returning to nature.
When everyone came to the island, Fucaira soldiers were already waiting for them on the shore.
At this moment, the island has changed a lot compared to before. The island, which is less than ten square kilometers, already has standard roads. There are also workers building other facilities. One characteristic of Bao Zixuan is that no matter where it goes, it starts with infrastructure construction. As long as the infrastructure is built up, anything built in the future will become simple.
Fucairah belongs entirely to itself, so no amount of construction is too much. I saw workers working under the scorching sun without a single complaint. George Lucas said with emotion: "The workers here are really able to endure hardships. I believe that the country will not be too bad in the future."
In fact, most of these people came from the Chinese mainland. There are very few locals, but it is under their leadership that local workers are not allowed to be lazy. After all, we are helping them build their homes. If outsiders are so serious about it, how can we have the nerve to cheat on them? In fact, there is another reason, that is, Fucairah was not wealthy before; in the Middle East, no oil resources means nothing.
Therefore, he has not developed an arrogant and lascivious character, so his work under the guidance of outsiders is still remarkable. The most important thing is that everyone gets paid, the same as other workers. I wonder if there is any better condition than this! At the same time, everyone knows that Fucaira’s nationality will definitely be very valuable in the future.
Although I may not have understood it before, after a few years I started to understand it. Seeing that the country is getting stronger and stronger, and Bao Zixuan's reputation is growing. If he can't make a small country rich and powerful, then it proves that this country is really hopeless.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "There are mainly mainland Chinese workers here, and of course there are also some local workers in Fucaira. They are indeed very hard-working, mainly because they were afraid of poverty before; now that they can make money, they may know how to cherish it more than others. .”
These are the worst people, and they all live in middle-class American families. As for the two Jews, their families are quite wealthy, so they don't feel this yet. But as a Hollywood director, I have truly experienced the warmth and coldness of the world. Of course I know that a nation that is willing to endure hardship will definitely be good.
Even though we are poor now, our future is definitely bright.
Spielberg said very seriously: "The Chinese mainland is really a magical place. If I have the chance, I really want to go there and see it. During World War II, the Chinese mainland accepted many Jews; I really want to show the scenes of that year on the screen. .”
During World War II, the Chinese mainland was still in a critical moment, but it still accepted a large number of Jewish refugees who came to China to seek refuge. From 1933 to December 1941, about 30,000 Jews took refuge in Shanghai, and the number of Jewish refugees nationwide was more than 50,000.
During the entire period when the Jews came to China to seek refuge, China had been in the midst of the 14-year war of resistance. It was itself in suffering, but it did not forget to do its best to protect this nation that was in the same suffering as us.
At that time, Shanghai alone received more Jewish refugees than the five British colonies of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India combined. It stands to reason that these areas themselves were colonies and originally developed by accepting refugees from all walks of life. However, they adopted strictly restrictive policies when it came to accepting Jewish refugees.
At that time, the major European and American countries, Britain and France, faced the pressing pressure of Germany; they attempted to compromise and give in in exchange for peace, and therefore behaved very weakly on the Jewish refugee issue. Faced with this situation, other European countries are in a wait-and-see mode and are unwilling to go further than Britain and France on the issue of accepting Jewish refugees.
As another important country in the Western world, the United States, although it was already the country with the largest number of Jews in the world at the time, also adopted strict restrictive measures against Jewish refugees. Under the influence of isolationism, the United States was unwilling to conflict with Germany over the Jewish refugee issue.
On the other hand, the United States does not want to bear the burden of refugees. Although the United States is a country that started as a colony, it relied on immigrants from various countries when it was first founded. But at this time, the United States chose a restrictive entry policy when faced with Jews who were neither rich, nor scientists, nor skilled workers. Of course, if you are very wealthy, or are a top scientist, or a skilled technical worker, the door to the United States is still open to you.
While European and American countries were blocking the entry of Jews, China opened its borders. Even diplomats in Germany actively helped Jews escape to mainland China. We knew clearly that these Jews would eventually leave and would not leave any contribution to China; they would also put a heavy burden on us, but we still chose to accept them.
It can be said that this spirit is very rare. This is also one of the reasons why Israel does not deliberately become an enemy of China. Any nation can exist in the world for thousands of years; if it does not know how to be grateful, it will eventually be eliminated by history.
Bao Zixuan: "I didn't expect you would still remember. If you want to make a movie about this kind of subject, remember to tell me. It doesn't matter how much it costs, I will invest."
"Although I don't like investing in the film and television industry, there are always exceptions."
After hearing this, several people didn't know what to say. After all, the income from filming a movie with heavy historical themes may not be too high. Especially when it comes to Asia, it will not be recognized by the European and American markets.
But now is not the time to discuss movies, or indeed other movies. Raiders of the Lost Ark must be ranked first, and other things should be put aside for the time being.
Bao Zixuan took everyone to the underground cave; after renovation, it can now receive tourists. However, other facilities on the island are not very complete, and Fucaira does not have the ability to receive tourists on a large scale, so many things have to be postponed.
George Lucas said in shock: "Although I don't know much about cultural relics protection, it feels magical when I come here. The temperature is constant and the humidity is not high; it can be said that not only cultural relics are placed, but any items are stored here." No problem."
In fact, many people can feel it, and geologists are also conducting in-depth exploration of this phenomenon.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Actually, I think so too, but I don't know the specific reason yet. I can only say that nature is the most magical creator, and many things cannot be explained at all."
"But we plan to develop this place into a tourist attraction. Of course, if a movie can be shot before receiving tourists, I believe it will be more perfect."
After seeing Spielberg and George Lucas, Bao Zixuan had new ideas for developing the islands around Fucaira. And we have been actively preparing for the past few days, and it is estimated that it will be ready tomorrow.
In fact, it was just an idea to come to the Middle East to shoot Raiders of the Lost Ark 3; and the main scenes were not planned to be here. The public security environment is on the one hand, and the supporting facilities, which are more important, are relatively less complete. But Bao Zixuan is so enthusiastic and at the same time too awesome. Directly agree to build the island according to their ideas.
As for security issues, no one really dares to take action against Fucaira.
The value of force itself is one aspect, and the most important thing is because of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant issue last time. The Soviets owed the other party a favor. If they dared to attack Fucaira, they would have to consider whether they could withstand the anger of the old man. Although there is some intention to raise the banner and make a tiger skin, there are some things that must be cautious.
Bao Zixuan continued: "It doesn't matter how you design the island. Don't consider the cost. After all, it will be used by tourists in the future."
"So plan boldly according to your ideas."
Cooperating with the world's richest man really left several people speechless. This kid is really too arrogant and doesn't seem to take money as money at all. When I think about Heiyun Group's terrifying revenue capabilities, it becomes clear why.
Bao Zixuan may not even know how much money he can make in a day. After all, there are so many industries involved that even a small country may not be a rival!
