Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Three According to the Gourd Painting 2/2
This makes Xinhua Bookstore really painful and happy!
The money they make from Zhao Hong's books amounts to hundreds of millions of soft girl coins every year, which is a huge amount of money.
Even if Zhao Hong saw that they were full, he did not increase the royalties or anything like that. This was meaningless. It would be great to let people in the mainland know the concept of genuine editions.
Besides, if royalties are raised, why should people spend so much effort to crack down on piracy?
Also, Zhao Hong doesn't care too much about this small amount of money. The most important thing is to spread her books more widely in the mainland, so that the copyright value of the books will be higher in the future.
This small loss today will be earned back exponentially in the future.
As for piracy, it’s okay. Anyway, it won’t harm you at all, and you can spread it for free!
Besides, the copyright awareness in the mainland is not strong these days, and many companies with national prefixes are piracy. If Huaxin Bookstore hadn't been relatively strong, it's hard to say whether it would have gotten a big share of it.
"I haven't been to Xiangjiang for two years. Not much has changed!" After entering the city, Professor Zhao opened the car window and took a look at the high-rise buildings outside. The lights were bright and the streets were crowded with people.
Although Professor Zhao is a professor from the mainland, he also goes abroad for inspections from time to time. Among them, he often passes by Xiangjiang as a transit station, so he is still very familiar with Xiangjiang.
"Haha, uncle, after a city develops to a certain level, it generally doesn't change much. Many cities in Europe have basically remained unchanged for decades. Even here in Xiangjiang, changes have slowed down."
Zhao Hong also looked out the window. He knew that the twenty years of Xiangjiang's fastest development were slowly coming to an end. Many streets in Xiangjiang were no longer easy to change, and most of the houses were old and new.
For Professor Zhao, Xiangjiang is just like that, but for Teacher Lin, it is a little different. She has never been abroad, and she was dazzled by the feasting and feasting as soon as she entered the city.
She saw cars everywhere, a dazzling array of shops, tall buildings rising from the ground, all kinds of trendy clothes on the streets, etc. She felt quite like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
This is how I feel when I first arrived in a bustling metropolis. After a long time, I feel like that. For Zhao Hong, the current Xiangjiang is really not enough.
In the original time and space, he was studying in the metropolis of Beijing. At that time, the capital had already built seven or eight rings, many landmark buildings were rising from the ground, and the wide streets were unmatched by Xiangjiang.
"Girl, this Xiangjiang is too prosperous!" Teacher Lin was a little dazzled and she couldn't help but said to Qiqi.
"Mom, it's actually nothing. What I miss most now is our small courtyard house. I didn't want to live in a courtyard house before, but now I still feel that it is the best." Qiqi said with a smile.
She has been here for almost two years. At the beginning, she was yearning for such a big city and felt that she would never get tired of living here. However, after a long time, she still felt that her old capital was better.
There is fireworks!
There’s something humane about it!
There are so many wonderful memories that will never be forgotten!
If her brother Hong hadn't been here to accompany her, she probably wouldn't have been able to stay for even a month. The city was prosperous, but it had also become cold and cold.
"Girl, you are so blessed that you don't know how to be blessed. What's wrong with staying here every day?" Teacher Lin couldn't help complaining because she thought her daughter was being pretentious.
Qiqi smiled and said nothing more, changing the subject to talk about other things with her mother.
When Zhao Hong and the others came to Tian Shui Wai, Professor Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw this emerging city.
"Xiao Zhao, is this the Tianshuiwei New Area you are talking about?" Professor Zhao asked.
"Yeah!", Zhao Hong nodded.
"This is what a city looks like!"
"The streets in the urban areas we passed just now are so narrow that it is difficult for vehicles to pass when there are many people. There is no urban pattern at all."
Professor Zhao saw the spacious streets and tree-lined gardens here. What he saw in the distance was a patch of green, with the entire city's buildings faintly nestled in it. It felt like the scenery was changing as he moved.
This feeling made him feel that man and nature coexist in harmony, and the whole city seemed to become alive.
"This city made me feel this way when I was in Singapore. I never expected that there are also visionary urban planners in Hong Kong. This is what a city should be like!"
Professor Zhao was very excited when he saw such a city, like a gourmet encountering fine wine.
"Dad, this plan was first proposed by Brother Hong!" Qiqi couldn't help but interject, the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously when she said this.
Professor Zhao looked at Zhao Hong carefully at this time and then sighed and said: "Xiao Zhao, you really surprise me!"
"Uncle, that's too much praise. I only got the inspiration after visiting Singapore. The geographical location of that place is similar to that of Xiangjiang. The design of the city is really incomparable to that of Xiangjiang. So I just came up with an idea to make a living, that is, to make a living in Hong Kong.
Let’s build a city like this in Xiangjiang.”
"I just happened to have some funds of my own, so I slowly started to implement what I had in mind."
Zhao Hong was a little shy when he spoke, but in fact he also wanted to show off. It could be said that everything in the new city of Tianshuiwei was carried out according to his will.
At present, this new urban area has received the support of most people in Xiangjiang, and no one can stop people's yearning for a beautiful city.
The Environmental Protection Association is in favor of this matter. In the past, whenever new land was developed in Xiangjiang, they would make a fuss, but they have never made a fuss during the urban construction in Tin Shui Wai.
At present, the satellite city of Tin Shui Wai is no longer just in Tin Shui Wai. Most of the entire Yuen Long is being planned. Zhao Hong is confident that it will become the same size as the main island in the future.
Currently, the permanent population here is around 1.5 million. When this area was not developed, the population was already around 500,000. After the development, the population naturally increased dramatically.
During the development process here, this area has also experienced great development. People's pockets have become bulging. DreamWorks has made a lot of money here. Five theaters have been added here. In other words, DreamWorks Cinema is in Hong Kong.
There are thirty.
As for the number of art theaters in Hong Kong, which has increased to ten, the new breakthrough points are all in Tin Shui Wai.
Currently, many wealthy people in Xiangjiang are willing to purchase real estate here. Many of the high-end residences built by DreamWorks were sold out as soon as they were developed.
Zhao Hong has reason to believe that the return on his investment here will be hundreds and thousands of times. At present, green cities have been deeply rooted in the hearts of Xiangjiang citizens.
Professor Zhao said with emotion: "Mountains of gold and silver are not as good as green grass and green mountains."
He was a little sad when he spoke. Living in the mainland, he felt a surge of vitality. He felt that the entire country was well-oiled and that the era of great development had arrived.
How many green mountains and green waters disappeared without a trace, which made him feel powerless.
"Mom, let me tell you that two-thirds of the city here was built by Brother Hong's DreamWorks..." Qiqi told the general situation here.
The intuitive feeling given to Teacher Lin is that DreamWorks is awesome, DreamWorks is awesome, DreamWorks is awesome!
She had always known that her son-in-law was rich, but she had not had an intuitive feeling about it, but now she felt it more deeply than ever.
The small car shuttles around the city. Most of the entire city is built by other companies. There is no one with this kind of financial resources. He is just a big capitalist!
Zhao Hong's family currently lives here in Tin Shui Wai. Grandma and the old man are very satisfied with the overall environment here. After living here for a while, they are unwilling to leave.
So the family settled here, and in fact the whole family was very satisfied with it.
