Chapter 494 How Much Does It Cost?

Walk out of the room,

Ruiqiya led Zhang Mingyuan and Song Zhan to visit the hotel one by one.

We visited spas, gyms, swimming pools, and restaurants.

At first, Song Zhan just had a casual and playful attitude.

But the more he walked around, the more he felt that this hotel was extraordinary.

The entire hotel, from location selection to layout to the furnishing of every small item, is exquisite and thoughtful.

What surprised him the most was that there really wasn't a single insect in the entire hotel.

There are no insect holes even on the leaves, it’s like seeing a ghost.

…

"On Xiaomajia Island, in addition to the Jasmine Hotel, our boss also built the Haiya Library and invested in the Golden Jellyfish Lake Scenic Tourist Area."

"The place we are going to now is the Sea Cliff Library."

Visited all the hotels,

On the tree-lined mountain road, Ruikeya led the two people on the stone steps in the mountains like a tour guide.

In fact, after leading Zhang Mingyuan and Song Zhan to visit the basic situation of the hotel, he could have taken them to the center of the island for a walk and a look at the island's ecological and cultural environment.

But no matter how he looked at them along the way, he felt that these two old men were rich and cultured, and had something in their stomachs.

So after visiting the hotel, he decisively adjusted his strategy and led the two people directly to the back mountain.

Prepare to take them to see Chen Jianhai’s Haiya Library.

"Originally, this was a barren mountain. It was overgrown with weeds and was very desolate. The local islanders were not willing to come here."

"Our boss saw that the barren mountains were lying idle, so he spent money to build mountain roads and built a Haiya Library on the top of the mountain."

"Dean Zhang, there is moss on this stone step. Please slow down..."

Although Ruiqiya told Zhang Mingyuan to be careful, she quickly stretched out her other hand and reached it in front of Song Zhan in time, allowing him to lend a hand.

"Thanks."

With Ruikeya's support, Song Zhan walked over the stone steps to the gentle platform, holding his hands on his waist and looking at the hill.

Although it was a barren mountain before,

But the small island has existed here for thousands of years. Over time, I don’t know whether it was seabirds carrying seeds across the sea, or the miracle of life appearing in the stone.

The mountains are covered with tall and straight trees and low shrubs.

The dead leaves fell into the soil and covered the steps, making them thick and soft when stepped on.

Occasionally, if it is dried, it will make a crunching sound when stepped on.

The gaps between the dead leaves on the shrubs are filled with new green branches and leaves.

In this life and death, large areas of dark green leaves in their prime spread out, perfectly showing the different states of tree growth on the same tree.

The moss and wildflowers at your feet are also growing desperately in their respective environments, full of a wild and unbridled power.

"The library is at the top of the mountain, just turn the corner ahead."

Ruikeya did not rush the two of them on their way, but just reached out to the top of the mountain in the distance.

On the back hill full of wild growth, the pointed white house is faintly exposed from the lush trees, holy and bright.

interesting……

Song Zhan tilted his head and looked at the exposed roof of the library through the gaps in the trees, becoming even more curious about the owner of the Jasmine Hotel.

Becoming successful and giving back to society are things that many entrepreneurs have done.

Don't talk about others,

Even Song Zhan himself has funded the construction of 22 libraries, built 80 Hope Primary Schools, and donated 10 teaching buildings over the years.

Some of these buildings are donated to institutions of higher learning, some to second- and third-tier cities, and some to counties and villages.

But most of it is donated to fund educational resources in backward areas.

As for other students who have donated books, tuition fees, financial aid, and established scholarship funds, they are too numerous to count.

If anyone really wants to compare his wealth with him, the social contribution businesses he has done over the years alone are enough to support several companies.

But no matter where these schools and buildings are built, none of them are built on an isolated island, deep in the mountains and old forests that no one cares about.

To be more precise, not only did he not build the building on an isolated island in the mountains and old forests,

Moreover, when each building is constructed, corresponding news and reports will be followed, and a banquet ceremony will be held to spread the word.

Human beings want to seek fame and fortune all their lives.

He is also included.

Moreover, good things have been done, and a large-scale publicity is normal.

There is no shame in wanting to be famous and rich.

"But this is a library, not a Zen monastery. Why would your boss build the library in such a rarely populated place?"

Song Zhan really couldn't figure it out: "Will anyone come here to see it?"

"some!"

Ruikeya said: "This place is not inaccessible. There is a school on the island."

"However, after all, the resources on the island are limited, and the library is also very small, so our boss built such a library in order to provide a place for students on the island to study."

Gao Zhan asked in confusion: "Then why not build the library in the school, or build it on an island? Why build it here?"

This is a small island in the center of the sea. Every cargo and material transported to the island must be transported across the ocean.

Even building a library on flat land on the island will cost more manpower and material resources.

What's more, transporting the materials to the mountain! ? ?

And then again!

Even if this library is built, it is a non-profit library that provides free reading, and there will be no income at all.

This is no different than throwing money into water.

If it were him, he would rather not build it than do such unrequited behavior.

Ruikeya didn't know what Song Zhan was thinking, so she just patiently explained:

“Because the island is not very large, and most of the area is occupied by residential buildings and roads, it is difficult to find a large area on the island to build a library except on the mountains, so we had to choose this location. "

"Your boss is a good man!" Song Zhan sighed with emotion.

Several people were talking,

Suddenly, several children jumped down the steps with schoolbags on their backs, holding velvet grass they grabbed from nowhere in their hands. They seemed to be students from the island school.

One of the little boys got tired of playing. He took out a shiny sticker from his pants pocket and stuck it on the street lamppost next to the stone steps.

After applying it, I patted it with my hand to make the sticker stick more firmly, then I opened my legs and ran down with my companion.

"Oh, I can't do it if I don't accept it!"

Song Zhan looked at the children running and playing with their schoolbags on their backs, and unconsciously put his hands on his waist.

Although the stone steps up the mountain are not high or steep,

But he and Zhang Mingyuan are old after all, and it is inevitable that their bodies will feel aches and pains after walking for a long time.

Walking past the lamppost, Song Zhan turned his head and glanced at the sticker curiously, wanting to see what the little boy had just posted.

When he saw it clearly, Song Zhan couldn't laugh or cry: "...Why do these kids still like Ultraman after so many years????"

Zhang Mingyuan said: "Children everywhere are the same. Before I came to Nanjiang, I bought three Ultraman cards for my grandson."

Ruikeya was amused.

"Uncle, don't talk about children."

"Our boss still likes Calabash Baby!"

"...Actually, even though I've grown so big, I also like Ultraman."

…

The three of them walked for about 20 minutes, walking along the stone steps to halfway up the mountain. After turning a corner, they finally arrived at the white sea cliff library under the sea and sky.

There are a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, dotted behind the pure white building, and flocks of flying seabirds circle in the sky, making the entire library look clean and free.

"This library is not small!"

Song Zhan couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration.

Although the library in front of me only has two floors from the outside, the entire staircase is built against the mountain and is extremely high.

It is as high as four or five floors of an ordinary library.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the revolving bookshelves spiraling up in the library. There are densely packed books on them, with as many as tens of thousands of books.

Even if this is not a city-level library, it is still comparable to libraries in general comprehensive universities.

"Yes, the specifications and standards of this library are enough to catch up with municipal units. It is really a large scale building!"

Zhang Mingyuan also spoke in amazement.

Just when the two of them were sighing at the size of Haiya Library, there was suddenly a sound similar to reciting poetry, and the words were clear and clear.

"Wind, no clothes"

"Time has no home,"

"I stand at the edge of dust and time, lighting up the fireworks to disperse death~"

…

"Should we celebrate life or praise death?"

"I have tied the shackles on my hands, and I am willing to serve in this life and quench the wine of truth."

…

Who is talking?

Song Zhan, Zhang Mingyuan and Ruikeya raised their heads following the sound.

I saw a dozen young people standing in the middle of the terrace on the second floor, facing the sea, chatting happily with each other.

They looked to be old or young. Some of them were holding a half-read book in their arms, and some were carrying backpacks behind their backs and mineral water bottles in their hands.

There were also some people sitting nearby, quietly watching and appreciating.

"What kind of show is this?" Zhang Mingyuan asked curiously.

Ruikeya smiled and said, "No, Dean Zhang."

"Although the Sea Cliff Library is specially built for students on the island,"

"But there are often some cultural backpackers who come to stay on the island. They have limited funds and don't have extra money to stay in hotels."

"So our boss asked them to clean, organize books and do odd jobs in the library during the day."

"I live in the library at night, and the rest of the time I can enjoy reading and writing in the library."

“Word of mouth has spread, and many backpackers and literature lovers who come here often come here to check in,”

"Sometimes when they get tired of studying, they will share their reading experiences, rehearse and perform some short plays, and hold a small poetry party."

"This should be a small poetry gathering they organized impromptuly."

"Not only that, we also host four large-scale drama performances or poetry performances here every year from time to time."

"In terms of the richness of literary and artistic life, it is no worse than that of Nanjiang."

Speaking of this, Ruikeya's chest unconsciously pushed forward, and her expression revealed a hint of pride.

"They can still stay here at night?" Song Zhan asked in surprise.

Ruikeya smiled and said: "Yes, our boss has prepared mobile beds for them,"

"The accommodation conditions are definitely not as good as a hotel, but at least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

After a pause, Ruikeya continued:

"I also stayed here at night. It was really interesting to follow a group of strangers chatting all over the place."

The three people walked into the library as they talked.

As soon as Song Zhan entered the library, he caught a glimpse of several backpacks stacked in the corner of the library and a simple bed board standing upright behind the bookshelf.

Although it is very simple, if it is an emergency at night and you need to borrow accommodation, it is really enough.

And the refrigerator next to it is filled with drinks, water and some simple pastries and desserts for self-service.

Even if the backpackers living here don't go down the mountain to eat, they can still use the food and water for temporary emergency.

"The owner of the Jasmine Hotel is a great person for being able to give such generous money to a stranger!"

If Song Zhan had some utilitarian suspicion about the owner of Jasmine Hotel building a library on the mountain,

So when I saw these bed boards, all I could feel was admiration.

Listening to the sound of poetry reciting on the second floor terrace, and looking at the huge library in front of me,

Song Zhan became very interested in the owner of Jasmine Hotel and even wanted to get acquainted with him.

"I like Calabash Baby...she must be young."

"He is generous to others and has strong economic strength..."

for a moment,

The enamel vase in the hollow corridor on the 8th floor of Zaomen Lion Lake Castle Hotel appeared in Song Zhan's mind for some reason.

Think of the exquisite corridor that is almost like a museum,

Song Zhan's eyes revealed deep suspicion.

…

Just when Ruiqiya was entertaining Zhang Mingyuan and Song Zhan on Xiaomajia Island,

Chen Jianhai stepped out of the high-speed train, got into the car, and rushed towards Fumanyu Wharf.

Since Zaomen Shibao Hotel officially opened,

Chen Jianhai felt like a top, being whipped by an invisible whip all day long, hitting here and there, but never idle.

I have to run back and forth between Zaomen and Nanjiang every now and then.

They had just signed a cooperation contract with the Magic Century Theme Park, and they had to rush back to the island to receive the director of the sanatorium and prepare to sign the contract.

"Don't worry, boss, our Ocean Star luxury liner will only leave at 13:30. It's 12 o'clock now."

"We will definitely be there at 12:30!"

The new doorman stepped on the full power, and the black galloping horse rode on the road around the sea. The speed was about to reach 120, galloping forward.

"12:30...Does that mean there's enough time to go back to the hotel?" Chen Jianhai asked.

"Enough!" The new doorman said with great certainty, "Boss, do you want to go back to the hotel to get something?"

Chen Jianhai said: "Let's go to Nanjiang Jiawo Shopping Center first, and I'll buy something."

"Okay!" The new doorman suddenly turned the steering wheel, changed lanes on a dotted line, and headed northeast!

The car drove to Nanjiang Jiawo Shopping Center. Chen Jianhai asked the new doorman to wait at the door. He opened the car door and rushed to the mall frantically. He took the elevator to the negative floor.

As soon as he got off the stairs, Chen Jianhai went straight to the Martian mobile phone and computer store. On the right side of the store, there was a small flower stall.

"How much does it cost?"

Chen Jianhai asked breathlessly, pointing to a bouquet of white and pink flowers in front of him.
