The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

The city center is at the bottom of the valley. More than 400 years ago, someone found abundant golden sands in the La Paz River that now passes through the city and built the city. The Spanish colonists also hated the high-altitude hypoxic environment. The original city was naturally It is constructed along the relatively low-elevation valleys on both sides of the river.

　　 Now that hundreds of years have passed, the population of cities is increasing, and houses are being built higher and higher along the hillside. It is natural for the poor to be "above and above" nowadays.

　　 Looking at the landscape outside, the streets are a bit wider than before. There are even a few small parks and public squares dotted between the new buildings and the colonial stone buildings everywhere.

　　 Generally speaking, because of the climate, even the greenery in the downtown area is a bit bad. Looking at it, green vegetation is scarce and the exposed mountains are gray.

　　 The houses in the higher areas are not only relatively dilapidated, they are also full of yellow and red brick houses, and the exterior walls are not even scratched with lime.

Zhang Nan in the car saw that these "rough houses" were all in the city center, and some were mixed with old and elegant physical buildings. The more they looked at them, the more awkward they became, and he said to Andrea: "Look, those are not scratched. The lime house is a bit like the brick house in the Dongyang countryside next to my hometown. No matter how high it is, the bricks are exposed and not painted."

　　 Andre heard it, and said, "Boss, you have to pay taxes when you build a house in China Rural Village? I haven't heard.

　　 "Pay tax?" Zhang Nan puzzled, "There may be some land tax or something, I don't know the specifics, what do you say about this?"

Andrei pointed to a residential area where the **** was extremely steep, and the height difference along the **** was four to five hundred meters, and the visual effect was oppressive. He said: "Basically, the houses here do not paint the exterior walls for tax avoidance. As long as the exterior wall of the house has not been painted, it can be considered as unfinished here, and there is no need to pay taxes."

　　 "Haha, it's the same as the house in Cairo. But building a house in the place next to my hometown without painting the walls shouldn't be for tax avoidance, maybe it's a simple custom.

　　 In the past two years, I heard that it has become popular to build houses over there. There are only three or four people in a family, and the houses are built with four or five floors. As a result, the upper floors are full of sparrows.

　　 My hometown has this trend now, but the exterior walls will be painted, otherwise the whole village looks like a brick kiln. "

As he said, Alyosha, who was sitting in the front co-pilot, interjected: "Boss, talking about this brick kiln, I heard a popular saying in the Chinese circle who came here two days ago, saying that La Paz is like bricks during the day. Factory, Saixiang-Hong Kong at night.

　　 At night, this messy city will become very beautiful from a distance, even in some places Hong Kong-Hong Kong can't compare to this. "

　　It can be imagined that in a city with such a terrain, the lights will be on after nightfall, and the pollution-free starry sky of the plateau and the snowy peaks in the distance will be reflected in the scene, how special this scene will be!

　　香-The high-rise buildings in Hong Kong are brightly lit, but they can’t compare with the “super grandstand” in La Paz!

　　 At this time, the convoy was still driving. Judging by the time, the light and the shadow of the building, Zhang Nan knew that the convoy’s route had been changed from west to east before, to generally south.

　　 The city center is too noisy. Even the presidential palace is built directly on the sidewalk. There is no yard in front. If Mr. President pokes his head out of the window, he can see the tops of passers-by on the sidewalk.

　　 Such a noisy location, even at a low altitude, would not be the most ideal living environment.

　　The hotel arranged for Zhang Nan and his party is not in the city center, of course not on the high ground, but in the southern part of La Paz, where the river valley area is lower in elevation, about 3,340, but the place is not large.

　　Because the place is not particularly spacious, in the past few decades, a valley in the southern part of the city has become the site of the richest small group of La Paz people.

　　 There are also many foreign institutions with good money in the south of the city. The Bolivian government has also built a small number of new offices for national institutions in the south of the city. There are also hotels for hosting important foreign guests.

Finally, the hotel is right in front of you-the whole city is mostly in a valley, but there are also big hills and small hills in the valley. The car turns left and upwards from the road by the river, and the upper seat is higher than the valley. The top of the mountain is eighty meters.

　　 There are roadblocks at the entrance to the foot of the mountain, and many real mansions with large yards and even swimming pools have been built along the slopes!

　　 On the top of the hill is a walled manor-style hotel, which should belong to the Bolivian state property, because the hotel gate has its own guards and barricades, and the guards are still Bolivian soldiers in military uniforms.

　　 At the side of the military sentry, there are a few big men in suits and tactical refracting glasses. These are the guys of the joint force.

　　 There was a pneumatic portable altimeter in the car. Before getting off the car, Zhang Nan took a special look, showing that the altitude is 3350 meters above sea level.

This is probably the lowest place in La Paz. The La Paz River at the foot of the mountain continues to wind down to the southwest-just three to four hundred meters away from the top of the hill is a mountain pass, from which the river passes through the mountains Flow to the distance.

　　 After the pass, it is not La Paz in the traditional sense. Although the valley on the other side of the pass should be lower in elevation, it is estimated that it will not be particularly popular with the rich.

　　I would rather have a bed in Puxi instead of a room in Pudong. Zhang Nan thinks that this interesting situation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is also applicable under the terrain of La Paz.

　　 The altitude of the hotel is not particularly high. Not only is Zhang Nan relieved, but the entourage is actually a lot easier.

Although the river valley below is lower, this man-made house probably doesn’t care about the height difference of tens of meters-many wealthy people nearby do this. There are villas and mansions built on both hills and mountains. A little farther away. There are a few office buildings—even on the tops of the hills, they are much lower than the rest of the city, isn’t it?

　　 The main building of the hotel has four floors. It can have a length of 50 meters and is surrounded by a huge lawn surrounded by plant fences and big trees. There are also four sets of red tile roofed two or three-story villas nearby, which are also the hotel houses.

　　 A fence on the lower hillside separates the hotel from the outside world. The existence of a drop does not block the view of the residents.

This time, the entire hotel is only used to entertain Zhang Nan and his party. Most of the people who arrived early and stopped living in the main building, while Zhang Nan lived in a three-story villa on the east side of the main building, which is also the largest villa in the entire State Guest Hotel. .

　　Getting off the car, Zhang Nan didn't rush into the villa, but after raising his hand late and signalling "No hurry, you should go busy", left the road in the hotel, stepped onto the lawn, and walked towards the east side of the lawn.

　　 Take a few deep breaths of the grassy air, stand at the end of the lawn on the top of the mountain, overlooking the snowy peaks in the north and east. As long as you ignore the grandstands, the environment is really good.

　　 Wherever it is backward, there will always be some good places to come, and this hotel is the same. At this time, Zhang Nan only hopes that he won't have a headache when he sleeps at night.
