Chapter 494: How much does this cost?

go out of the room,

​​

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

​​

I visited the spa, gym, swimming pool, and restaurant.

​​

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

​​

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

​​

From the site selection to the layout to the decoration of every small object, the entire hotel is exquisite, and there are thoughts everywhere.

​​

And what surprised him the most was that there was really not a single bug in the entire hotel.

​​

There are no insect eyes even on the leaves, it's like a ghost.

​​

……

​​

"On Xiaomajia Island, in addition to the Jasmine Hotel, our boss has also built a sea cliff library and invested in the Golden Jellyfish Lake Scenic Tourist Area."

​​

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

​​

After walking around the hotel,

​​

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

​​

In fact, after leading Zhang Mingyuan and Song Zhan to see the basic situation of the hotel, he can lead the two of them to the center of the island for a walk and a turn, and take a look at the ecological and cultural environment on the island.

​​

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

​​

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

​​

I'm going to take them to see Chen Jianhai's Haiya Library.

​​

"Originally, this was a barren mountain with overgrown weeds and it was very desolate. The local islanders were reluctant to come here."

​​

"Our boss saw that the barren mountains were sitting idle, so he paid for the mountain roads and built a sea cliff library on the top of the mountain."

​​

"President Zhang, there is a piece of moss on this stone step, please slow down..."

​​

Although Rui Keya told Zhang Mingyuan to be careful, she stretched out her other hand very quickly, and sent it to Song Zhan in time, so that the other party gave him a hand.

​​

"thanks."

​​

With Ruikeya's help, Song Zhan walked over the stone steps to the slow platform, with his hands around his waist, looking at the hill.

​​

Although this was a barren mountain before,

​​

But the small island has existed here for thousands of years. Over time, I don’t know if the seabirds crossed the sea and brought the seeds, or the miracle of life appeared in the stones.

​​

The mountains are full of tall and straight trees and low shrubs,

​​

The dead leaves fell to the soil, covered the steps, stepped on the thick soft,

​​

Occasionally, there are air-dried ones, and when you step on them, they will make a crunching sound.

​​

And the gaps in the dead leaves on the shrubs are filled with new green branches and leaves,

​​

In the midst of this survival and withering, a large piece of dark green leaves that are in their prime spread out, perfectly showing the different states of tree growth on the same tree.

​​

The moss and wildflowers at the feet are also desperately growing in the adaptive living environment, full of unbridled wild power.

​​

"The library is on the top of the mountain, just turn the corner in front."

​​

Ruikeya didn't rush the two of them on their way, but just stretched out her hand to the top of the mountain in the distance.

​​

On this back hill full of savage growth, the white house with its pointed tips loomed from the lush trees, holy and bright.

​​

interesting……

​​

Song Zhan tilted his head and glanced at the exposed roof of the library through the gap in the trees. He was even more curious about the owner of the Jasmine Hotel.

​​

Being successful and giving back to the society is something that many entrepreneurs have done.

​​

Don't tell anyone else,

​​

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

​​

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

​​

However, most of them are donated to subsidized educational resources in backward areas.

​​

As for other students who have donated books, tuition fees, and financial aid, the number of student aid funds established is even more uncountable.

​​

If someone really wants to compare his wealth with him, the social contribution he has done over the years is enough to support several companies.

​​

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

​​

To be more precise, not only did he not build the building in the old forest in the deep mountains of the isolated island,

​​

Moreover, when each building is built, it will follow the corresponding news and reports, hold a banquet ceremony for guests and friends, and advertise it.

​​

Humans~~ I want to gain fame and fortune in my life,

​​

He is also included.

​​

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

​​

It's not ashamed to want both fame and fortune.

​​

"But this is a library and not a Zen courtyard. Why did your boss build the library in such a rare place?"

​​

Song Zhan really couldn't understand: "Is there anyone here to come?"

​​

"some!"

​​

Rui Keya said, "This place is not inaccessible. There are schools on the island."

​​

"But after all, the resources on the island are limited, and the scale of the library is also small, so our boss built such a library in order to give the students on the island a place to study."

​​

Gao Zhan asked inexplicably: "Then why not build the library on the school, or on the island, why build it here?"

​​

This place is originally a small island in the center of the sea. Every piece of goods and materials transported into the island must be transported across the ocean.

​​

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

​​

Not to mention transporting the materials to the mountains! ? ?

​​

And then again!

​​

Even if this library is built, it is a non-profit library that offers free reading, and there is no income going back.

​​

It's no different than throwing money into the water.

​​

If it was him, he would rather not build than do this kind of unrewarding behavior.

​​

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

​​

"Because the area of ​​the island is not large, and most of the places are occupied by residential houses and roads, it is difficult to find a large area to build a library on the entire island except on the mountains, so it can only be selected here. "

​​

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

​​

Several people are talking,

​​

Suddenly, a few children jumped down the steps with schoolbags on their backs, flinging velvet grass in their hands, and they seemed to be students in the small island school.

​​

One of the little boys was tired from playing, so he took out a shiny sticker from his trouser pocket and stuck it on the lamp post beside the stone steps.

​​

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

​​

"Oh, it's not good if you don't accept the old man!"

​​

Song Zhan looked at the appearance of several children carrying schoolbags and scurrying around, and unconsciously supported his waist with his hands.

​​

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

​​

But after all, he and Zhang Mingyuan are old, so it is inevitable that the body will be sore and sore after walking for a long time.

​​

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

​​

After seeing it clearly, Song Zhan couldn't help laughing and crying: "...How come after so many years, these kids still like Ultraman??"

​​

Zhang Mingyuan said, "Every child is the same. Before I came to Nanjiang, I bought three Ultraman cards for my grandson."

Rui Keya listened to the music.

​​

"Uncle, don't talk about children."

​​

"Our boss still likes gourd babies!"

​​

"...Actually, don't look at me growing up so much, I like Ultraman too."

​​

……

​​

The three walked for about 20 minutes, followed the stone steps of the mountain to the position halfway up the mountain, turned a corner, and finally came to the White Sea Cliff Library under the sea and the sky.

​​

A few white clouds floated in the blue sky, dotted behind the pure white building, and flocks of flying seabirds circled in the air, setting the entire library clean and free.

​​

"This library is not small!"

​​

Song Zhan couldn't help exclaiming in admiration.

​​

Although the library in front of you has only two floors from the outside, the entire staircase is built on the mountain, and the lift is very high.

​​

It is the height of the fourth or fifth floor of an ordinary library.

​​

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the revolving bookshelves in the library, which are densely packed with thousands of books.

​​

Even if you don't say that this is a municipal-scale library, it is comparable to a library in a general comprehensive university.

​​

"Yes, the specifications and standards of this library are enough to catch up with class-level units. The scale of construction is really not small!"

​​

Zhang Mingyuan also spoke in amazement.

​​

Just when the two of them were sighing about the scale of the Haiya Library, there was suddenly a voice similar to chanting poetry, and the words came out clearly and eloquently.

​​

"Wind, no clothes"

​​

"Time has no dwelling place,"

​​

"I stand on the edge of dust and time, lighting up the fireworks that dispel death~"

​​

……

​​

"Should I sing the praises of life, or should I praise death,"

​​

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

​​

……

​​

Who is this talking?

​​

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

​​

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

​​

They looked different in age. Some people were holding a half-finished book in their arms, while others were carrying backpacks and mineral water bottles in their hands.

​​

There were also some people sitting beside them, quietly watching and admiring.

​​

"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 the students on the island,"

​​

"But there are often some cultural backpackers who come to live 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 read and write in the library to the fullest."

​​

"It has been passed down by word of mouth, and many backpackers and literature lovers who come here often come here to check in."

​​

"Sometimes when they are tired of reading, they will exchange their reading experience, and they will also rehearse and perform some small plays by themselves, and hold a small poetry club."

​​

"This should be an impromptu little poetry meeting they organized."

​​

"Not only that, but every year we will host four large-scale drama conferences or poetry conferences 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, Rui Keya's chest involuntarily pushed forward, and her expression revealed a hint of pride.

​​

"Can they still live here at night?" Song Zhan said in surprise.

​​

Ruikeya smiled and said, "Yes, our boss has prepared a mobile bed for them."

​​

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

​​

After a pause, Rikeya continued:

​​

"I also lived here at night. It was really interesting to chat with a group of strangers from all over the world."

​​

The three of them walked into the library while talking.

​​

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

​​

Although it is very simple, if it is an emergency at night, borrowing an accommodation is really enough.

​​

And in the refrigerator next to it, it is full of drinks, water and some simple pastries and desserts that can be taken by yourself.

​​

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

​​

"For a stranger to be so generous, the owner of the Jasmine Hotel is a man!"

​​

If it is said that Song Zhan had a little bit of utilitarian suspicion that the owner of the Jasmine Hotel built a library on the mountain before,

​​

Then when I saw these bedboards, I could only admire them.

​​

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

​​

Song Zhan developed a strong interest in the owner of the Jasmine Hotel, and even wanted to get acquainted.

​​

"I like the gourd baby... I shouldn't be too old."

​​

"So generous to others, and full of economic strength..."

​​

For a moment,

​​

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

​​

Thinking of the exquisite promenade that is almost like a museum,

​​

Song Zhan's eyes filled with deep suspicion.

​​

……

​​

Just when Rui Keya entertained Zhang Mingyuan and Song Zhan on Xiaomajia Island,

​​

Chen Jianhai got out of the high-speed train and got into the car, running towards the Fuman Fish Wharf.

​​

Since the official opening of Zaomen Lions Castle Hotel,

​​

Chen Jianhai felt like a spinning top, being whipped by an invisible whip all day long.

​​

Every three or five years, I have to run back and forth between Zaomen and Nanjiang.

​​

This side has just signed a cooperation contract with Magic Century Theme Park Over there, we have to quickly drive back to the island to receive the dean of the sanatorium and prepare to sign the contract.

​​

"Don't worry, boss, our Ocean Star luxury passenger liner only leaves at 13:30, and it's 12 o'clock now."

​​

"We'll be there at 12:30 for sure!"

​​

The new door boy was on full horsepower, and the black galloping horse rode on the road around the sea. Seeing that the speed was about to go up to 120, it galloped forward.

​​

"12:30... That's enough time to go back to the hotel?" Chen Jianhai asked.

​​

"Enough!" The new door boy said with great certainty, "Boss, are you going back to the hotel to get something?"

​​

Chen Jianhai said, "Go to Nanjiang Jiawo Shopping Center first, I'll go buy something."

​​

"Okay!" The new door boy slammed the steering wheel, a dotted line changed lanes, and went northeast!

​​

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

​​

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

​​

"How much does it cost?"

​​

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

​​
