"Welcome to New Zealand, Mr and Mrs Williams!" Peter Jackson stepped forward to greet Henry and the others.

Henry nodded and smiled at him.

"Mr. Williams, this is Leed Alec, the mayor of Wellington, New Zealand!" Peter Jackson pointed to a middle-aged New Zealand man in a suit behind him.

Leed Alec smiled and stepped forward to say hello, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, it's a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to New Zealand!"

"Hello, Mayor Leed Alec!" Henry smiled at him and shook his hand.

Mayor Leed Alec smiled: "Mr. Williams, we have prepared a room for you at the InterContinental Wellington Resort Hotel and arranged for a chef to cook our special food here, I hope you can hope!"

"Thank you Mayor Leed Alec!"

...

InterContinental Wellington Resort Hotel is a five-star hotel, located in the city center with convenient transportation, surrounded by landscapes such as the National Museum of New Zealand, Wellington Botanic Gardens, Wellington Zoo, Wellington Victoria Hill and so on.

Wellington's most popular filming location is Mount Victoria, which is within walking distance from the city centre. The forest area in the mountains becomes the Hobbiton Forest in the movie, where the Hobbit is evading the pursuit of the Black Knight.

Henry and others had a Wellington dinner that night.

Wellington is rich in sheep, and lamb is delicious, especially roast lamb or lamb chops. In addition, there is a lot of fish here, and the quality is delicious. There are freshwater eels, mutton birds, spiny sea urchins, lobsters, shrimps, abalone, etc. It is a seafood feast!

After eating and drinking, I had a good night’s rest, and the next day I chose a few well-known attractions in Wellington to play.

This time, I mainly went to the location where "The Lord of the Rings" was filmed, especially the quiet town that was transformed into Middle-earth in the movie. This location is simply the paradise that movie fans yearn for in this life. Its name is "Hobbiton"!

Whether it's The Hobbit trilogy or The Lord of the Rings trilogy, all stories begin here! There's Bag End, the Hobbit Hut, the Hulk Inn, the Mill and the Banquet Tree to name a few.

After playing in Wellington for a few days, I went to this "Hobbiton". Surrounded by mountains, Hobbiton is located near the town of Matamata on New Zealand's North Island. Peter Jackson spent 9 months building Hobbiton, and the appearance is not much different from his previous life.

When Henry and others came here, the crew came to greet them one after another.

Not to mention that Henry is the richest man in the world, just as the boss of Galaxy Films, they have to try their best to please them.

After a simple greeting, everyone walked into Hobbiton together.

Henry had seen Hobbiton in the movie anyway, so he was a lot calmer, while Kareena, Helen and Princess Ulysses were all surprised. The biggest feature here is that the house is built on a hill, covered with grass, and some have a big tree, and outside is a round gate and window.

This kind of building is really novel, so Kaelina and the others can't wait to go in and have a look.

Peter Jackson said, "Mr. Williams, what do you think of the construction here?"

"It's very cool, like a paradise!" Henry praised sincerely, "Jackson, after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is filmed, I can guarantee that this place will become a tourist attraction! Oh, yes, Jackson, hurry up with the local The government negotiates and buys this place!"

"Buy this place? Mr. Williams, this place is very large. I'm afraid it will take a lot of money to buy it!"

"It doesn't matter, I believe that it will be earned back sooner or later!" Henry said.

"Well then, I will contact the local government later! Now, let me lead you to experience the charm of Hobbiton!"

...

After playing all afternoon, I didn't feel tired, as if I was in a fairy tale world!

During the dinner, everyone went to the Green Giant Dragon Inn to taste pure wine, while enjoying a panoramic view of the Hobbit village on the beautiful lake and hills. After night fell, the Green Dragon Inn was brightly lit, and the locals began to sing and dance in order to welcome Henry and others!

Hobbiton is actually a farm, and naturally there will be normal farmhouses. However, Henry and Kelina chose to stay in Bag End to experience this unique feeling.

Hobbiton is quiet at night, and the moon is shining. Henry's only complaint is that the bed is too small. It is difficult to sleep two people, let alone four people.

The next day, officials from the local government came to discuss the purchase of land with Henry.

"Hello, Mr. Williams, nice to meet you!" A middle-aged man with a pot belly stretched out his hand and greeted Henry, "I'm Tony Commons, the mayor of Matamata Town. !"

"Hello, Mayor Tony Commons!" Henry said, "I mean, you must know what I mean."

"Yes, Mr. Williams," Tony Commons asked, nodding and smiling. "So, how much is Mr. Williams going to pay?"

"How about $10 million, it must be enough to buy this farm!"

Tony Commons is very shrewd, his eyes are shining, and Hobbiton is built in such an independent style that once the film is released, it is sure to attract many tourists. At first, Tony Commons let Peter Jackson use the land here for free, just for tourism development. Now, since the other party wants to buy this land, of course the price can't be cheap!

"$20 million!!!" Tony Commons thought for a while and said.

"Okay!" Henry nodded and agreed without any counter-offer.

Tony Commons was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, and he didn't even bargain. Could this be a local tyrant? Rich and willful, spend whatever you want?

Tony Commons looked at Henry with some doubts in his heart.

"Mayor Tony Commons, when will we sign a contract?!" Henry asked with a smile. Once the movie is released, Hobbiton will definitely become New Zealand's signature attraction. The income brought by tourism is more than 20 million US dollars?

"Uh, this..." Tony Commons hesitated.

"Mayor Tony Commons, I hope to complete the signing as soon as possible, because I will not be here for a long time." Henry said.

Tony Commons shook his head helplessly, sighed slightly, he knew the price would be higher!

"Okay, Mr. Williams, since you are so refreshing, I won't delay, probably... I can sign tomorrow!" Tony Commons said.

"Yeah!" Henry nodded, "Then tomorrow!!!"
