Chapter 1254: Chapter 1110: Opening (Please subscribe!)
May 1st.
Seven-day holiday.
Tang Qing did not go to the Seaview Villa in Sanya.
Instead, he returned to Qingyan City.
Invited by the Qingyan City Municipal Government.
He attended the opening ceremony of the Cultural Amusement Park, which was the last large public project invested by Tang Kai in Qingyan City. Qingyan Mountain Scenic Area had started trial operations on April 20th.
Qingyan Film and Television City.
It had fully opened to the public on April 5th.
To catch up with the Labor Day Golden Week.
The Cultural Amusement Park specifically chose this day for its inauguration.
Morning.
Eight-thirty.
"Dong Dong Qiang~~ clang~~"
In front of the amusement park, the gongs and drums were loud, but no firecrackers were set off due to the location being at the main gate and to avoid the trouble of cleaning up to celebrate the official opening, all the city leaders were present.
On stage.
One speech followed another.
Tang Qing and Tang Kai sat below.
At that moment.
The morning sun had just risen.
The warmth was comforting. As April turned to May, the temperature in Qingyan City spiked rapidly. To avoid affecting the visitors’ entry and having everyone endure the strong sunlight, the entire opening segment was restricted to one hour.
"Next, please welcome Mr. Tang Kai, the investor of the amusement park, to speak."
After the mayor finished.
It was Tang Kai’s turn.
Straightening his suit, Tang Kai walked onto the stage with a smile, while below was filled with applause. Everyone knew that Tang Kai was Tang Qing’s second uncle, the second uncle of the richest man in the country, and a billionaire tycoon in his own right.
Such a person.
Could not possibly receive a cold reception, even if one was desired.
"Good morning, everyone. I am Tang Kai, welcome to the opening of the Amusement Park."
"This Cultural Amusement Park, concerning creativity, you might not know, it was originally proposed by my nephew, Tang Qing. He mentioned that the real purpose of this amusement park is to serve as a platform."
"A platform that provides opportunities, a platform for various artists to showcase themselves, a platform that promotes mainstream Chinese culture. That will also be the operating ethos of the amusement park going forward."
"For this, in our subsequent operations, we will focus on promoting Chinese culture while also providing those with dreams, capabilities, but lacking a platform, an opportunity to realize their dreams."
"This dream, I cannot guarantee that you will become an overnight sensation, nor guarantee making money, or what benefits you may receive, but here, you can have a stage."
"Previously, you might have been a bar singer, never able to perform on a stage for thousands. Here, you can, even if afterwards, you remain a bar singer, but you will have once sung passionately before thousands."
"This stage is not a shortcut to fame. We cannot fulfill big dreams, we can only fulfill some small yet great regrets..." As he concluded, the audience became somewhat confused.
However.
Tang Kai was very clear.
Finally.
The opening ceremony ended amid a round of applause.
The leaders did not leave but followed the crowd into the park, as there were programs inside. The amusement park’s Performing Arts Center had performances all day, and they even invited celebrities to boost the audience.
Entering the VIP hall on the second floor.
They took their seats one after another.
Of course, the show required tickets. As it was the first day of the opening ceremony, most tickets were distributed to various departments and businesses in the city, with only a few available for sale to the public.
This Performing Arts Center.
Tang Kai never thought about making money.
Breaking even was enough.
Noon.
After watching the performance.
The city warmly invited Tang Qing and his group to a meal.
"Little Boss Tang, the amusement park was your idea, and for this, I really must thank you." The top official of the city raised his glass towards Tang Qing, distinguishing him from Tang Kai.
"Not at all, I didn’t spend a dime." Tang Qing smiled as he clinked glasses.
"Creativity also has value, especially when it carries significant meaning."
Tang Qing helplessly said, "Alright, keep flattering me, and I’ll worry this building isn’t tall enough."
"Ha-ha, okay, now Qingyan City is preparing to become a cultural and tourism city. In this regard, you have contributed greatly, I wonder if you have any more good suggestions." He asked casually.
However.
Tang Qing really had something to say.
"I think, besides culture, health should also be emphasized."
"Health?"
"There are many aspects to health, including food safety, ecological agriculture, healthcare, and physical fitness, none of these are new concepts, but the implementation and practices might not be perfect."
"The first two are troublesome, I know, people want to eat good-looking vegetables that haven’t been treated with pesticides, which is somewhat contradictory at this stage. People are visual creatures."
"However, this does not mean people will tolerate this forever, it’s just that we can’t solve it in the short term, so we have to focus on physical health."
"For instance, constructing numerous parks and sports facilities, modern people don’t like to exercise, which will inevitably lead to health issues over time. I suggest that we can think of solutions in this respect."
Tang Qing’s views were really old-fashioned.
Nationwide fitness.
An almost clichéd concept.
Yet, it was something he felt must be emphasized; some people dislike the elderly dancing in squares, but according to certain data, frequent dancing clearly benefits their health.
Of course,
as long as it doesn’t disturb the public.
That’s why Tang Qing suggested building more parks.
Unhealthy eating.
Unhealthy living.
It would truly be difficult to be healthy.
Especially as people’s lives improved and they began to favor high-fat foods, the resulting diseases became inevitable. Sometimes, he thought, the world was so ironic.
In the past,
the wealthy indulged in rich foods.
Common people ate simple meals.
Now,
resources were abundant.
Wealthy people ate vegetable salads.
Common folks preferred meat-intensive meals.
World,
really is funny.
What should this be called?
"Are you suggesting to host sports meets, marathons?"
"Not necessarily, health is a concept that needs attention. It’s not about improving physical fitness with a short-term sports meet, but about cultivating an attitude and habit, it’s a long-term matter."
"Marathons don’t really have meaning, and they’re not scientifically sound for the average person. How to proceed is up to the leaders."
Meddling?
Tang Qing wasn’t interested.
It was enough to mention it.
After all, he was a businessman, others were officials, whether speaking more would be useful was debatable, going in one ear and out the other, treating his words as jokes would just be vexing.
"That makes sense, Mayor Zeng, you guys should study this."
"I also think there is much potential in this area."
Listening to their conversation,
Tang Qing didn’t pay much attention.
Actions speak louder than words.
...
After dinner,
the city leaders were busy.
Tang Qing followed his uncle to the ’Qingyan Film and Television Base’. Once it was completed, it became the third largest film and television base in Huaxia, however, since it had opened not long ago, not many film crews had come here.
It needed some time to be accepted.
Nevertheless,
it didn’t affect its ability to welcome tourists.
Since the beginning of the year,
Qingyan Municipal Government had been actively communicating with travel agencies nationwide, hoping to open this travel route to Qingyan City. Hence, since the opening of the film and television base, the number of tourists had shown a growing trend.
Because it was new, distinctive, and well-managed, it had an excellent reputation.
Especially today.
It was extraordinarily lively.
