Chapter 1004 England

. "The purpose is to serve the Brahma Creation Online Game Company, which was not long ago. Liu Lei is in the hearts of all parties. "There are advantages that others cannot compare with. First, there is sufficient funds. Although she has taken out 500 million yuan in startup funds, in fact, her own private money is more than 2 billion yuan, not to mention that she also has 30% of the equity of the merged Fenjiu Group and Kongfuyan Winery.

The second is that it has a broad publicity platform. Several major portals have relatively good cooperative relationships with Huafeng.com, so this part of the publicity page has advantages that ordinary people cannot reach. Another is that the employees she can recruit at present. They are all industry experts. With her influence in colleges and universities, it is easy to recruit a large number of high-quality employees.

With these superior conditions, it naturally created amazing results. The number of online users of Brahma Creation Online Game Company has quickly exceeded 200,000, becoming a leader in the online gaming industry. Although the number of online game companies such as Lianzhong was more online than Brahma Creation Online Game Company at this time, it was obviously beyond the reach of profitability.

Once the company's management is in formal channels, the boss will not have much to worry about. Based on Fan Wubing's suggestion, she began to build Internet cafe chain boutique stores in major cities across the country.

The advantage of a formal chain Internet cafe is that it is less troublesome, because the management is very standardized and restricts the entry of minors. In addition to the elegant environment and complete equipment, it also provides file printing and other data services, which are very popular. In particular, Fan Wubing specially provided a preferential policy for Shen Ying's Internet cafe. Anyone who surfs the Internet here can use the video service functions provided for free when using the software, which is also very attractive to netizens.

"Why don't you agree with building an Internet cafe with a large scale? Haven't you always emphasized winning by quality? Why do you have to create so many Internet cafes like sowing seeds?" Shen Ying was a little curious about Fan Wubing's suggestion.

From now on, if you build some large Internet cafes with hundreds or even thousands of installed capacity in big cities, not only will the operating cost be relatively low, but the popularity will be very strong. Moreover, the scale will increase, and it will be more likely to be paid attention to and protected by local governments. On the contrary, as Fan Wubing suggested, buying real estate in prime locations in major cities and specifically assumes that the Internet cafe with a capacity of one or two hundred machines will be a bit expensive.

In this way, more than ten Internet cafes have to be built in every big city, but the investment in real estate alone will exceed tens of millions. If all the provincial capitals in the country have calculated it, plus equipment investment, etc., I am afraid that most of Shen Ying’s savings will be thrown away.

.

"This is actually the way of operating KFC or McDonald's, and it also adds Chinese elements." Fan Wubing explained to Shen Ying. "When you buy a lot of real estate in the name of opening an Internet cafe, you will not be offensive, because you are investing in an emerging industry, contributing to the improvement of the domestic network environment, and while making money, it also enhances the taste of a city. This is very popular."

Shen Ying nodded and continued to listen to Fan Wubing messing around with him.

"The Internet cafe industry is not a long-term solution. Once the domestic network construction prospers in a few years, and the prices of computer products gradually decline, it can be said that every family can access the Internet at home. At this time, the prospects of Internet cafes will be very poor, so it takes several years for Internet cafes to make money." Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying, "Once this time, you have made a lot of money in the early stage. At this time, the Internet cafe industry needs to limit the number of entry into the industry, so it is difficult to approve the qualifications of Internet cafes. In addition, the real estate in your prime location has appreciated a lot at this time. Therefore, if you sell the licenses of these Internet cafes and then sell these real estate, you dare not say that you have invested more funds, but it is still no problem to go up or down by the time."

"Oh, so you want me to diversify my investment. In fact, it is just the idea of ​​increasing real estate value and making money from Internet cafe licenses?" Shen Ying asked.

"Yes, don't think that Internet cafe licenses are not valuable now, but approval will become more and more difficult in a few years. A license is more valuable than in front of the store. Fan Wubing said to her.

The first stop for the two was Britain, which was invited by the British royal family.

When visiting London, the most important program is to watch Buckingham Palace, especially the limited-time Queen's Guard's change ceremony. It was a very gorgeous, spectacular, and ancient performance with the value of cultural relics.

The famous Buckingham Palace is a four-story cube-gray building with a solemn front door hanging with royal badges. It is the center of the power of the Emperor, and is surrounded by high fences. There are more than 600 halls and rooms in the palace, including ceremony halls, concert halls, banquet halls, galleries, and galleries. There are also a vast imperial garden with flowers and beautiful flowers.

There are many statues in the square in front of the palace, as well as the Queen Victoria Memorial Hall. The most eye-catching one is the Golden Statue of the Goddess of Victory. She stood on the high marble platform, shining golden light, as if falling from the sky. The golden angel on the Queen Victoria statue represents the royal family's hope to create the glory of the Victorian era again.

Since Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837, Buckingham Palace has officially become the royal palace and has been the residence of the British royal family since then. It is also the queen's office and residence. It is said that in summer, some of the houses in the palace are also available for tourists to visit. As a result, thousands of tourists from all over the world flocked.

After Fan Wubing got off the plane, representatives from the British royal family came to greet him, using traditional vans, and guards dressed in traditional costumes followed around on horseback. They walked along the way and came outside Buckingham Palace.

"I wonder if the queen is inside the palace?" Shen Ying looked outside curiously through the glass window.

"This is easy," Fan Wubing replied, "If you want to know if the Queen of England is in Buckingham Palace, it's very simple. Just look up and look above the main entrance of the palace. If there is a royal flag, it means the Queen is inside. If there is not, it means the Queen is out. Obviously, the Queen is not in the palace today."

"Doesn't that mean that no one has received us?" Shen Ying said with some regret.

"How is that possible?" Fan Wubing smiled and shook his head, "There will always be nobles with high status to do this. After all, the queen is old and often receives foreign guests, she will feel overwhelmed.

Fan Wubing guessed that all of them are good. Although the important old tricks of the British royal family were not there, the royal duke with a higher status also left behind the high-ranking royal family. The duke in his sixties was short and fat. He was a little spherical, but he looked very energetic. He was not only polite, but also funny. He took the two of them to visit various parts of Buckingham Palace.

Those who visited were impressed by the simplicity of the palace. The life of the queen and her husband was not too luxurious. At least they were in their daily lives. The furniture was not covered with gold and did not carry the marks of famous mahogany furniture vendors. They were all very practical furniture.

The only thing that makes people see that the queen has strong financial resources is the oil paintings hanging on the walls of her room. The brush strokes of those oil paintings are so profound that these paintings are not only signed by European painting masters, but are often hanged in parallel from famous paintings collected by the royal family.

From the outside, the golden statue of Victory is on the front, and behind it is the light gray Buckingham Palace. The goddess of Victory is located at the top of the tall marble sculpture, like an angel, and opens her arms to welcome the victory. There is no cloud in the blue sky, which is suitable for the background of the golden goddess.

Below the statues are sculptures of figures, surrounded by Goddess of Goddess. The statues include white marble sculptures and bronze castings.

The palace lanterns on the square are very artistic, with both the historical heaviness of the palace lanterns and the artistic style of the casting craftsmanship.

Isn’t it also very comfortable to sit on the grass in front of Buckingham Palace, waiting for the Royal Guard’s shifting ceremony while enjoying the caress of the July sun?

Look around, right in front of the goddess of victory sculpture is a thoroughfare, with many tall pillars, and there are various sculptures on it, which can make people stop and think.

Not long after, the Wong Kar Guard's shift ceremony began, which was also the most eye-catching program for passers-by and tourists. Whenever this time comes, the onlookers are like they emerge from the ground, swarming up in groups, but despite this, everyone is still in order.

.

The Royal Guards at Buckingham Palace held a change of guards from April to September every year from 11:30 to 12:00 every morning, and every two days in other months, amid military music and commands. Hundreds of guards in gorgeous uniforms made various queues, and the on-duty and laid-off soldiers raised their guns to salute each other, giving the majesty of the royal family.

The big white horse walking in front is agile and handsome.

The guards were in bright red uniforms, and the commander who walked on the first was wearing gold and silver, holding ceremonial guards. They were very majestic. Behind him was the orchestra of the Wong Kar Guard, and they all played with their cheeks.

There are drumbeats behind the first angel formation. This is a real drum band. They are well-trained and play while walking, and their steps are quite neat.

The onlookers had already started shooting with a long spear. In order to get a better shooting angle, some people rode on their companions' necks.

Although there were not many guards in this squad, the pace was still uniform, but the steps behind were a little messy. The ceremonial guards came to an end. The gradually moving away guards were about to return to their camp, so their steps naturally became lazy.

However, in Fan Wubing's view, from this point of view, we can understand that the decline of the British Empire and the rise of other powers, and the replacement of the world, is inevitable.

.

Then the two, accompanied by the Duke and their entourage, visited Westminster Abbey.

Speaking of the biggest scandals in the modern British royal family, it is nothing more than the grudges and grudges of Prince Charles and Princess Diana for more than 20 years. After decades of entanglement, it was finally separated, which made people sigh.

The luxurious, grand, romantic and fairy-tale wedding of the golden boy and jade girl was held in Westminster Cathedral. At that time, royal nobles from all over the European countries came to congratulate them. Britain was even more jubilant.

At this time, Westminster Abbey was another witness of hundreds of years of history.

The church is located in Parliament Square in Westminster-upon-Thames, London, adjacent to Parliament House and the 10th Downing Street. Several well-known buildings are relatively concentrated.

The church's twin towers are towering, and the whole building is both magnificent and quiet and solemn. It is considered to be a masterpiece in British Gothic architecture.

The front of the church has a high spire and huge rose windows. It feels like the church is very tall, and the exterior walls of the church are a bit mottled. I don’t know if it was the erosion of hundreds of years of wind and rain, or the people who built him back then specially created it in order to pursue this sense of vicissitudes.

Westminster Abbey is also a well-known royal church. The ministers and their regulations must be decided by the royal family, and the royal coronation ceremonies are often held in Westminster Abbey.

.

Kings of all dynasties in Britain, including the current Queen Elizabeth, basically took up the throne here. And they were also buried here a hundred years later. As the royal cemetery, the last one to hold a funeral here was Princess Diana, who died in Paris due to a car accident. It was only three years away from now.

"I should send some flowers to her tomb," Shen Ying said to Fan Wubing.

Someone immediately arranged this matter, and soon Shen Ying got the flowers, and then guided everyone to Diana's tomb and delivered a bouquet of flowers.

Fan Wubing shrugged his shoulders. He didn't say anything. Perhaps many girls are obsessed with this kind of fairy tale of princes and princesses. Dunying is naturally no exception, but in fact some things do not look so beautiful.

"In fact, there is another horrifying rumor about Westminster Abbey. After Cromwell, the protector of the British bourgeois revolution, was killed, his head hung on the spire of Westminster Abbey for decades," Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying.

"So scary?" Shen Ying was shocked and couldn't help but look at the top of the tower, but nothing was revealed.

At the back of the church, there are some cemeteries of famous politicians, scientists, military strategists, and writers, including Churchill, Newton, Darwin, Chougens, etc., as well as the famous tomb of the unknown warriors during the First World War.
