Chapter 21 Small Country for Rent
After thousands of years of development, especially the accumulation of knowledge over the past three or four hundred years, human beings have unexpectedly opened the door to a new world. The development speed in recent years has been particularly severe. The changes in the past twenty years have been greater than those in the past two thousand years. We have been constantly mastering new technologies and then using one technology to study more advanced technologies.
In 2005, Han Xuan's "long-term vision" and the experience brought by the rebirth of his previous life have been used up. He knows what will probably happen in the next ten years, and knows where the technology in this world will develop. However, he himself could not expect the further direction, after all, he has never experienced it personally.
Therefore, in order to avoid his ideas from interfering with future development, he rarely interferes in various research institutes, allowing the geniuses of human society to imagine the future by themselves, and summarize them once in a while, and inject interesting projects will be injected into funds for in-depth research.
Human genes are one of the aspects he values. In addition, the "Mars Colonial Plan" jointly funded by the Charity Foundation, Han Xuan personally and SpaceX, is now being prepared in full swing.
A satellite has been launched one after another, and some components of a landing warehouse were successfully launched in 2001 and 2002. At some time in 2003, the Earth was very close to Mars, and three other rockets were launched one after another, all of which were successfully launched. After arriving at Mars, it landed in a crater. This is also the location where the manned spacecraft will land in the future.
With the injection of tens of billions of dollars, SpaceX's technology has developed rapidly, and it is also inseparable from the help of NASA. The two sides are cooperating. It is expected that before 2010, the first manned spacecraft can be sent to Mars, allowing them to live on Mars for a period of time. As for whether they can come back, it depends on the future development of technology...
After a brief discussion, Han Xuan and his parents checked out and left at Charles de Gaulle Airport, and took a plane back to the United States under the hotel waiters' farewell gaze.
In recent years, he has rarely been in the same place for a long time. Han Xuan has long been accustomed to this kind of life without a fixed place. The plane goes west and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious. There are swimming pools, gyms, cinemas, etc., so he won't feel bored. If he doesn't look outside the window, it feels like he is in a high-end hotel room.
It took several hours to enter the United States across the Atlantic Ocean. During this period, I received another call from Old John, telling me that Old Patton had been taken on the plane and was about to go to California. After the doctor finished the examination, he even moved the bed away, so he didn't have to worry about the risk of moving him.
So soon after, the red Boeing 777 turned a corner in the sky and entered another route. The destination was the Four Towers of Snow Mountain, and the private small airport there had been long been built.
Just when he was about to arrive in Santa Clara, California, Han Xuan accidentally received a call from his grandfather. Now he was panicked when he heard the phone ring, afraid that it was the medical experts who heard bad news. Not calling means that it is okay for the time being, and it would be hard to say if he calls.
After going to Africa, I haven't contacted my grandfather for this period of time. After he got it connected, he kept it in his ear and asked in confusion: "Why are you free to find me today? Are you back from traveling? Do you know we are here in California?"
"No, I just came to Sweden from near the Alps yesterday and lived in the town there for more than ten days.
The eldest son of Swedish King Carl XVI - Gustav, held a wedding. Gustav and I met once in the United States. It was a long time ago. He had not won the throne yet and was considered a playboy. Recently, he met in Liechtenstein and invited me to attend, but he was so enthusiastic that he could not refuse.
We? Are you with Anya? Treat her well. I went to attend an art exhibition held by her mother Cecilia some time ago. She told me a lot..."
Grandpa Guo Muzhou has been very happy recently and no longer managed the company's affairs all day long. After becoming a hand-off manager, he continued to travel around. Before Han Xuan advised him to invest in the filming of "Titanic" and enter the film and television production industry, this wealthy old man was living a similar life.
After counting the time, it has been more than ten years since the acquisition of Dimen Pictures. During this period, he participated in eight TV series and the distribution and production of more than 60 movies, and made a lot of wealth.
After hearing the name of the country "Liechtenstein", Han Xuan suddenly remembered many interesting stories about it and couldn't help laughing. This is the sixth smallest country in the world, with an area of only 160.5 square kilometers, less than one percent of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
It is said that Liechtenstein prohibits skateboarding on large steep slopes. Because the land area is too small, I accidentally cannot control it well and will arrive in Switzerland.
There is another joke that the state office building in Liechtenstein has the Prime Minister's Office upstairs, the court downstairs, and the basement is a "prison" for temporarily detaining prisoners.
It is said that one day, the deputy prime minister was locked in the office by an uninformed staff because of overtime work. Finally, he was detained in the basement door opened by a prisoner, because the prison janitor went home and asked him to help keep the keys.
In short, it is a very strange small European country, which is hard to find on the map. Small countries such as Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and San Marino would have been annexed by neighboring countries if they were placed in other regions. Because of the special history and culture of Europe, it has been preserved to this day.
Han Xuan replied with a smile: "I have a good relationship with her, so don't worry, okay, have you rented the following Chitenstein as the king for a few days?"
“…No, I went there and found out that last year I actually enacted a bill that could rent this country for $50,000 a night, starting from $20,000.
Someone really tried it. When I was there, the king was a prince from the Middle East. When he left, the king became a Mexican. The street signs were exchanged, and there were only more than 30,000 people. They often talked about this kind of thing as jokes, but the per capita income in the local area was very high, so you could go and have fun when you have time.
I called you to tell you that the day after tomorrow, "Iron Man" starring Robert Downey Jr. was released. How about you go and host the premiere ceremony for me?
I have been obsessed with the adaptation of this comic, so I called you when I received the message. What do you think?"
Han Xuan was about to agree, but then he thought about old Patton again. He was not sure what old Patton was doing at the moment, so he replied: "Let's see when the time comes. Old Patton fell and fell into a coma. I want to visit him first."
This is a big event, Guo Muzhou continued: "Okay, you can arrange it yourself. Remember to give him a bouquet of flowers..."
