Giant of the times

Li Zetian's grandfather lived in BJ, and Li Zetian also bought a large number of courtyard houses in BJ, so of course he had a place to live.

After receiving the call, Li Zetian told his parents and grandfather about the matter.

"The director of the Spring Festival Gala just called and invited our family to watch the Spring Festival Gala live! Grandpa, parents, you must have never watched the Spring Festival Gala live, so I have agreed to let you go and feel the atmosphere." Li Zetian said with a smile.

Li Chengzhi and Xiao Zhixuan were startled when they heard this, and then said happily: "That's great! Your grandpa really likes watching the Spring Festival Gala. Being able to watch it live this time is much more interesting than watching TV at home!"

Grandpa also had a happy face, took a puff of cigarette, and said happily: "There is still something to be done, otherwise why would the director of the Spring Festival Gala invite us to the scene!"

Li Zetian smiled. How much money has he invested in China and how influential is he? BJ has to try his best to win over him. Who will he not invite to the Spring Festival Gala? ?

"New Year's Eve is on the 9th, so if we rush there a day early, we can also get together with grandpa and the others, and then go to the Spring Festival Gala together!" Li Zetian said.

Everyone nodded and had no opinion.

This evening, it was a rare gathering for everyone. They stopped watching TV and just sat and chatted.

The children were playing games on the sidelines, such as hide-and-seek, skipping rope, and throwing handkerchiefs. It was so lively.

The night passed like this.

The next day, I don't know who told the story that Li Zetian had given his grandfather a pair of Wu Daozi's "Picture of the King of Gifts". Dozens of reporters blocked the door early in the morning. In addition, many literati came, all wanting to admire Wu Daozi's masterpiece! !

Grandpa knew most of these literati, so he invited them to his study room, and proudly took out the "Picture of Farewell to the Heavenly King" for everyone to watch, while laughing and saying: "Haha, everyone, please take a look, this is My grandson Zetian gave me the original painting "Picture of the Heavenly King Sending His Son to Heaven" by the painting saint Wu Daozi! I heard him say that he got it back from some RB art museum with great difficulty!"

An old man with gray beard and gray hair looked at the painting, his eyes shone, and he said with envy: "Old Li, your grandson is so filial. He actually gave you such a precious masterpiece. It's really enviable!!! "

An old man wearing reading glasses said slightly excitedly: ""The Picture of the Heavenly King Sending His Son" is the most famous work of the painting saint Wu Daozi, and it is definitely a national treasure of China! Back then, RB invaded China and took away the "Picture of the Heavenly King Sending His Son" away. , it is really a shame for our generation that we were unable to preserve the hard work of the ancient sages! Fortunately, this "Picture of the King Sending His Son" has finally been bought back, which is really gratifying! Lao Li, your grandson is really amazing! "

Grandpa Li Zetian's face burst into laughter when the audience praised him.

These old friends of his are not ordinary people, and neither are their children and grandchildren. However, in terms of the achievements of his children and grandchildren, none of them combined are as powerful as Li Zetian!

"Lao Li, on the first day of the new year, we old guys should get together like in previous years?"

Li Zetian's grandfather shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go. The director of the Spring Festival Gala personally called and invited our family to watch the Spring Festival Gala live. On New Year's Day, I guess I'm still at BJ, and I may have to stay there. A few days!”

When everyone heard this, they felt envious again.

It is such an honor to go to watch the Spring Festival Gala live, but a group of us can only watch the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV, alas...

…

Li Zetian originally wanted to find Ma Yun, but when he thought that the Chinese New Year was approaching, it was not appropriate, so he did not contact him until after the New Year.

Since I was going to watch the Spring Festival Gala live, my grandfather would definitely not be able to celebrate New Year's Eve at home, so he held a New Year's Eve dinner in his hometown two days in advance, and his children and grandchildren gathered together.

The next day, Li Zetian and his family flew to BJ with his grandfather.

After getting off the plane, we went straight to my grandpa's house.

When the two families met, they were lively and chatting about everyday things, as if they had endless things to talk about.

On New Year's Eve on the 9th, a total of 11 people, including Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu, Dongfang Yuqin, Youran, William, Zhou Qiqi, Li Chengzhi, Xiao Zhixuan, grandpa, and grandparents, went to the Spring Festival Gala. The director arranged the best seats in the front row and set up two tables.

When the audience around them saw Li Zetian, they were all surprised!

Although their status is not bad, compared with Li Zetian, they pale in comparison, just like the gap between a fluorescent light and a bright moon!

"Look, Chronos Li's family is here too!"

"Oh, it's true! He looks so young, and he has become the richest man in the world. I heard he is worth hundreds of billions of dollars!"

"Hundreds of billions of dollars? Haha, you've already seen it all. Chronos Li must be worth more than one trillion dollars!"

"Really or not, he is so rich?!"

"Do you know the Internet? Do you know who the reigning king of the Internet is?"

"I am engaged in industry. I have heard about it on the Internet, but I don't pay much attention to it."

"Damn it, you are so out of date! Do you know how popular the Internet is in the United States? Let me give you a simple example. A simple Yahoo website is now valued at more than 30 billion U.S. dollars. According to expert speculation, if Yahoo goes public, its market value may exceed US$50 billion! And Yahoo.com is just one company on the Internet. You have to know that Chronos Li has almost monopolized the entire Internet, such as Amazon.com, TripAdvisor.com, Z.com. Internet platforms, Google search engines, Netscape browsers, etc. are all his industries."

"Oh my god, Internet companies are so valuable???"

"Yeah, it's worth a lot of money!!!"

The more everyone talked, the more fiery, jealous and envious their eyes looked at Li Zetian.

Not long after, the Spring Festival Gala officially started.

This Spring Festival Gala is different from usual. The live broadcast camera has many close-ups of Li Zetian's family. There are almost more guests than the performers on the stage... This can't help but make Li Zetian suddenly think of a post on the Internet in his previous life, saying that every year There is a mysterious guest watching the Spring Festival Gala. Many people are curious about who this person is and how awesome he is!

Xiao Youran is a very naughty girl. When she sees the camera pointed at her, she blinks her eyes deliberately and pretends to be cute. Her quirky look is so cute!

Youran herself inherited her mother's peerless appearance, as beautiful as a little fairy.

Audiences across the country who watched the Spring Festival Gala couldn't help but be conquered by this little girl. Many people said they wanted to take her home as their wife.

"Father-in-law, please let me marry your daughter!!"

As for little William, he was sitting upright, acting like a cold and domineering president. Unfortunately, coupled with his red little face, it really made people want to pinch his face hard.

Why is it so cute? !

…

In Li Zetian's opinion, the Spring Festival Gala stage was extremely crude.

As for the program, it’s just okay!

What everyone likes to watch the most is language programs, sketches and cross talk.

On the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao performed "The Big Change", which made everyone in the audience laugh.

Li Zetian was very emotional. Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao are indeed the leaders of Chinese sketches at the moment. It's just a pity that they later got into trouble with CCTV and sued CCTV because it violated some of their rights. This behavior is tantamount to seeking death!

What an influence CCTV has. Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao are just two artists. How can they hold their arms over their thighs? They won the lawsuit but lost the future!

CCTV and the Spring Festival Gala are now at their peak, and their influence is unimaginable!

Even in 2016, CCTV and the Spring Festival Gala have declined, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Every artist wants to be on the Spring Festival Gala, even if they don't get a penny in compensation!

Time is also destiny!

Li Zetian will not meddle in other people's business. As the saying goes, a new generation replaces the old. Without Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, Zhao Benshan appears again.

"The Great Transformation" is the finale of the Spring Festival Gala. It didn't take long for the Spring Festival Gala to end.

It was late at night, and the old man couldn't hold on any longer. Li Zetian and his party left the CCTV No. 1 studio and went directly home to rest.

On New Year's Day, people were talking about the Spring Festival Gala and Li Zetian's family.

At the same time, foreign media also reported on Li Zetian's attendance at the Spring Festival Gala.

As a result, thanks to Li Zetian, the Spring Festival Gala became more famous abroad, which made the Spring Festival Gala director team overjoyed!

Many foreigners are very curious about what kind of program Chronos Li likes to watch!

Well, it's a pity that they can't understand it.

However, it still spreads Chinese culture and makes many foreigners very interested in China!

At around 12 noon, the director of the China National Tourism Administration suddenly visited, which surprised Li Zetian.

He first introduced himself, and then said straight to the point: "Mr. Li, I heard that the TripAdvisor website is very popular in the United States. Because of this website, the tourism business of many scenic spots has increased significantly! That's right, China is vigorously developing In the tourism industry, we want to cooperate with the TripAdvisor website. We hope that TripAdvisor can create a special topic on Chinese tourism and strongly recommend Chinese tourist attractions so that more foreigners can travel to China! Many Chinese airlines have agreed to cooperate with Chronos Airlines The company has formed the Star Alliance and has also cooperated with TripAdvisor, so users can book tickets directly on the website..."

Hey, the director of the tourism bureau is quite business-savvy. Li Zetian was slightly surprised.

"Director, this is a good thing, of course I am willing! However, I have a small request!" Li Zetian said.

"What request?"

"Huh?" Li Zetian pondered for a moment and said: "Although China is a vast country with rich resources, a long history, and many tourist attractions. But in my opinion, compared with the scenic spots in the United States, the supporting facilities are not complete enough. For example, the hotel you stay in It's too bad, the transportation is inconvenient, etc. In addition, many scenic spots are too dilapidated and have not been repaired. There are also some scenic spots that are too primitive and have not been developed at all! So, this is what I think. I invest in the scenic spots and jointly operate them with the local government. Around the scenic spots, I can also invest in hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, and build tourist business districts! As long as tourism develops, it will definitely drive local economic development,"

The director of the Tourism Bureau was overjoyed when he heard this. The whole country is trying every means to attract investment from abroad. Since there is such a good thing, how can we not agree? !

"Mr. Li, since you said so, I naturally welcome you!" After saying that, the Director asked tentatively, "Mr. Li, how much money do you plan to invest?"

"Is US$100 billion enough?" Li Zetian smiled faintly.

When the Director of the Tourism Bureau, who had just taken a sip of tea, heard this, he immediately made a "pop" sound and the tea was sprayed out. Obviously, he was frightened by this number.

"Mr. Li, how much did you say?"

"One hundred billion dollars..."

The director of the Tourism Bureau swallowed his saliva, regained his composure and said, "Mr. Li, one hundred billion US dollars is an astronomical figure. Are you kidding me?"

Li Zetian was very depressed. Is 100 billion US dollars a lot? Why don’t you believe it?

There are so many scenic spots in China that are in urgent need of development and various supporting facilities need to be built. A five-star luxury hotel alone requires an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. US$100 billion is simply not enough!

However, my brother’s ambition is very big! ! !

Taking advantage of the fact that China's tourism industry has just developed, if we don't take advantage of it, where will the opportunities be in the future?

Li Zetian confirmed seriously: "Director, US$100 billion is still a small amount. I will continue to increase investment in the future! I am also a Chinese after all, and it is my duty to support the economic development of my motherland!"

Li Zetian said so righteously, but in fact he just wanted to take advantage.

Lijiang, Sanya, Jiuzhaigou, Huangshan, Guilin Landscape, West Lake, Gulangyu Island, Zhangjiajie, Phoenix Ancient City, Potala Palace, etc., are all Li Zetian's goals.

Seeing that Li Zetian was so serious about what he said, the director of the Tourism Bureau did not dare to agree immediately.

Li Zetian is so rich, with an investment of 100 billion US dollars. Cooperation between countries does not involve such a large amount of funds.

In other words, Li Zetian's ability alone can represent the national strength of a top country!

The director of the Tourism Bureau smiled bitterly and said to Li Zetian: "Mr. Li, this kind of cooperation is too important. I need to go back and ask the leader for instructions before I can give you an answer!"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Of course, no problem, I will wait for your reply!"

Li Zetian invited the director to have lunch at his grandfather's house and then saw him off.

The director of the Tourism Bureau anxiously informed the leaders of the news, which immediately caused a sensation among the national leadership!

Mr. Deng smiled and said: "We still underestimated Xiao Li's courage and financial resources!"

"Mr. Deng, what do you think?"

Mr. Deng said: "Everyone has witnessed what Xiao Li has done over the years, which has greatly promoted China's economic development! The tourism industry has great development potential and will definitely become a major economic pillar of China in the future. If With Xiao Li's investment, China's tourism industry can develop rapidly, which will definitely drive the local economy and help more people get rid of poverty and become rich! Reform and opening up have been going on for so many years, and good results have been achieved. Let's just take the steps If we go bigger, wouldn’t it be 100 billion US dollars? China is so big and spread out across the country, but it’s actually not much, so why can’t we still eat it?”

"What Mr. Deng means is that we agree?"

"Yeah!" Mr. Deng nodded.

The top leaders have spoken, and the matter has been settled.

So, only one day later, the director of the Tourism Bureau visited Li Zetian again and expressed his agreement to cooperate!

Li Zetian had long expected that they would agree, and had earlier asked Dongfang Yuqin to invite the professional team responsible for the tourism project from the United States, and then left the specific details to them to discuss. Of course, Li Zetian made the key points. He ticked all the famous scenic spots in his previous life as key development projects.
