Chapter 265: London
London is the capital of the United Kingdom, the largest city and port in Europe, one of the largest metropolitan areas in Europe and one of the four world-class cities in the world, alongside New York in the United States, Paris in France and Tokyo in Japan. Since 1801, London has been
With outstanding achievements in the fields of politics, economy, humanities, entertainment, scientific and technological inventions, etc., London has become the largest city in the world. London is not only the political center of the United Kingdom, but also the seat of the headquarters of international organizations. London is a diversified metropolis, with residents from
All over the world, there are diverse races, religions and cultures, and more than 300 languages are used in the city. London is a world-famous tourist destination, with a large number of scenic spots and museums, etc. London and New York are the world's largest financial center and the world's most
important economic center
Now, London is destined to become the focus of the world, because in two days, the 30th Summer Olympics will light the torch here, and the whole world will celebrate together.
On July 25, China's large team for the Olympic Games headed to London, and the basketball team was also among them. But Zhou Tao's identity is a bit special. He is on both the basketball team and the track and field team.
In addition to participating in basketball games, he will also participate in 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, 1500 meters, 3000 meters and 4*100 meters as well as high jump, long jump and shot put competitions.
Zhou Tao thinks this way, since the American Flying Fish Phelps won eight gold medals in one session, then I must win at least nine gold medals to beat the Americans.
When the entry list was announced, it immediately caused an uproar. No one in history has ever done so many things. Only in swimming, Phelps set the precedent, but he was not as exaggerated as Zhou Tao.
The child spans several items
After a long flight, at three o'clock in the afternoon local time, a plane carrying hundreds of Chinese sports elites landed at London Heathrow International Airport. Outside the airport, many overseas students frantically waved Chinese flags and shouted
Among the names of my idols, the one that is the loudest and loudest is undoubtedly "Zhou Tao"
Although the leader requested that he spend as little time with fans as possible for safety reasons, Zhou Tao still gave them as many autographs as possible to repay these infatuated compatriots.
And Zhou Tao's approach also attracted praise from these fans. Unlike some other big-name celebrities who just sign one or two casually and then leave with an excuse.
Zhou Tao signed the autographs in half an hour. He basically helped all the Chinese compatriots present to sign the autographs. He even took photos with them from time to time, which made the overseas students burst into tears and exclaimed that their visit was not in vain.
It wasn't until Zhou Tao got in the car and left that the group of students reluctantly left, holding objects signed by Zhou Tao in their hands. They felt like they were in a dream. They never thought that one day they would get the autograph of this great god.
Sign autographs and take photos as souvenirs. When you grow old one day, you can also use them as conversation pieces to show off to your children and grandchildren.
Zhou Tao arrived at the Olympic Village with the large army, and then the delegation held an entrance ceremony. As the five-star red flag slowly rose, the passionate national anthem resounded throughout the Olympic Village.
Zhou Tao did not live in the Olympic Village. He was also the only Chinese athlete who did not live in the Olympic Village because he had too many things to do and would be subject to many constraints in the Olympic Village. This was also approved by the General Administration of Sports after special instructions from above.
There is no need for the coach to worry about his training, because he usually completes many training tasks very consciously and exceeds his expectations every time. After coming to London, he no longer needs the guidance of a coach.
Zhou Tao took the Wenchong brothers and the Eighteen King Kongs to the Brown Hotel, which had been booked early. This is a very unique hotel, which is very obviously different from ordinary hotels.
Hotels are all over the world, but the Brown Hotel is unique. It represents the image of a polite, natural and generous British gentleman (there are only two kinds of people in the eyes of these British people, one is born in a country manor, and the other is desperately trying to squeeze into the country gentleman
Class is in vain) This hotel is located in London's fashionable Mayfair district. It consists of 11 buildings with intricate internal corridors and extensive use of dark wood siding. Some believe that the Brown Hotel's hospitality is unparalleled.
It is the best place to stay in London. If you are not this person, in other words, you want a personalized experience, then you will stay at Connaught (e's); or if you are a fashionista, you will stay at e's
A modern boutique hotel like the Dukes, the Brown Hotel is in a league of its own. Coming from an era when "cotton count" and "spa treatments" were still unknown, it has always been loved and trusted.
In its history of more than 100 years, the Brown Hotel has received many noble guests, such as Napoleon III and his wife Empress Eugenie () and the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie (Haile Ssie). Therefore, regular guests of the Brown Hotel will naturally regard it as a
A much admired luxury hotel
When the Brown Hotel opened in 1837, it was called a "high-end inn." The owner, James Brown (Reet), bought four townhouses and founded the Brown Hotel. In 1859, he sold it to James John Ford (James John Ford).
, the latter installed an elevator in the hotel and placed the location on Albemarle Street (el) under its name. The Brown Hotel soon became famous for its low-key and elegant style, focusing on creating a private atmosphere and providing top-notch services.
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, made Britain's first telephone call in 1876 at Brown's Hotel; there was no electricity at the time, so Bell had to make the call using a dedicated telegraph line between Brown's Hotel and Ford's House.
In 1882, the hotel opened a men's smoking room and public restaurant. Before that, guests who wanted to dine in the hotel had to either eat in their rooms or rent a suite with a liquor license. Queen Victoria often visited the Brown Hotel, but from then on
Don't spend the night here because Buckingham Palace is nearby and the writer Rudyard Kipling (the first British Nobel Prize winner for literature) wrote "The Jungle Book" here.
1905 recorded a glorious page in the history of the Brown Hotel. Not only were three new buildings added that year, but Franklin Roosevelt and his wife spent their sweet honeymoon here.
In 1941, the Dutch government-in-exile declared war on Japan at the Brown Hotel. In 1965, novelist Agatha Christie, a frequent hotel guest, published “The Mystery at Bertram’s Hotel” based on her experience staying at the Brown Hotel.
Finally, don’t forget Winston Churchill. It is said that he once declared: “Where I have stayed, only the Brown Hotel can be called a real hotel.” His majestic demeanor can always be seen in the hotel, and in every room
There are photos of him and some of Churchill's wise sayings from the "of winston chlish verse"
Zhou Tao has also admired the reputation of Brown Hotel for a long time, so he specifically booked fifteen rooms a month ago. Each room costs more than 3,000 yuan per day, and the total cost for 20 days is 900,000 yuan. Even if it is weekly
Tao is rich and powerful, but I feel a little sad in my heart. Damn, this is the accommodation fee, and it doesn’t include the money for daily meals and tea.
However, in order to complete that grand plan, it is necessary to pay a small price. Compared with the benefits that are about to be obtained, this small amount of money is really nothing.
After entering the hotel, Zhou Tao finally felt that the money spent was worth the money. This is definitely an ideal place to stay when away from home. Stepping on the creaky floors and old carpets still feels like walking into paradise on earth.
The beautiful waiter who walked towards me was also eye-catching. She was absolutely pure and without any pretense, making people feel at home.
The luxurious guest room was decorated as beautifully and elegantly as heaven on earth. Zhou Tao lay fully clothed on the large bed, so comfortable! This was the first feeling that came into his heart. He didn't know what brand of mattress it was that could actually produce such a
It has the effect of making guests’ fatigue disappear!
After lying down for a while, Zhou Tao got up and walked into the very large bathroom. The interior was also very luxuriously decorated. The large bathtub that could accommodate two people was very imaginative, and the murals of ladies hanging on the wall were even more addictive. I wished I could do it right now.

Turning on the faucet and letting the cold tap water pour on his body, an extremely comfortable feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, which also sobered up his somewhat impetuous heart.
This trip to London not only undertakes the task of winning glory for the country, but at the same time, Zhou Tao also has a grand plan, which is to wash away the pain in the hearts of generations of Chinese people and regain countless treasures that belong to China, that is - Great Britain
Countless Chinese cultural relics in the museum!
At that time, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces burned, killed and looted the capital, swept away all kinds of treasures in China, and forced the Qing government to sign many treaties that were humiliating and humiliating the country. This has always been regarded as a shameful and humiliating event by Zhou Tao. He had long sworn that there would be
One day I will take back all the glory and revive the glory of China!
Therefore, this time he once again brought together the brothers of the Evil God Gang and the experienced Eighteen King Kongs to snatch back all the cultural relics in one fell swoop and also recover the interest earned over the years!
"I don't believe that a British Museum can stop the evil gang! British guys, it's time to make you pay the price!" Zhou Tao sneered silently in his heart.
After getting dressed, Zhou Tao turned on the computer, clicked on the London map, and typed in the British Museum information.
The British Museum, also known as the British Museum, is located in Great Russell Square, north of New Oxford Street, London, England. It was founded in 1753 and officially opened to the public on January 15, 1759. It is the oldest and largest museum in the world.
A magnificent comprehensive museum, it is also one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. The museum collects many cultural relics and book treasures from all over the world. The collection is rich and diverse, and is rare in museums around the world. Currently, the museum has more than 600 collections.
