Chapter 234 Historical Sites
Although she didn't hear the word "girlfriend" from Fang Hexuan, Lizhi was still very happy.

Calling her "Zhi Mei" is a step further than "Ah Zhi". Will she admit that they are dating next time?

"Hehe, thank you Brother Xuan for trusting me."

Li Zhi happily took the initiative to clink glasses with Fang Hexuan, but was instead scolded by him:

"Just take a sip. Girls should drink less alcohol. It's not good for your skin."

Lizhi was not depressed at all, but became even happier. This feeling of being cared for by others was really heart-stirring.

"Well, I'll listen to Brother Xuan."

"Haha, actually, I started taking action the day I decided to acquire Holiday Inn Golden Mile."

Fang Hexuan was not worried that these words would be heard by a third person.

In fact, before he and Lizhi came in, the bodyguards checked the surroundings with instruments and found no eavesdropping devices.

Although the hotel manager and waiter were a little surprised and embarrassed, they could also understand the richest man's caution.

The box has good sound insulation, and there are several bodyguards standing outside, so ordinary people really have no chance to get close to here.

So as long as Fang Hexuan didn't shout, people outside could hardly hear any sound inside.

Lizhi stared at Fang Hexuan earnestly with her big, blinking eyes, looking forward to the next story.

"I wonder if you've ever heard of 'Song Wang Tai'?"

She nodded. Lizhi had been in Hong Kong for more than a year. Although she had never been to Sungwangtai, she often took the bus and had seen the bus stop for this place.

“Although Songwangtai is a little far from this hotel, no one can guarantee that the two last emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty did not stay here when they came to Hong Kong.”

"After all, it has been more than 700 years since then. The world has changed dramatically and things are unpredictable. Maybe they bought and built a house here and lived there for a while."

The more Lizhi listened, the more confused she became. However, she still patiently nodded in agreement.

"So, what is this place?"

Fang Hexuan chuckled and asked Lizhi this question.

Lizhi blinked and thought seriously:
"The palace?"

"Haha, yes, it is also called xingzai, but what is it now?"

Fang Hexuan continued to ask, he really enjoyed asking and answering questions with Lizhi.

"Ancient monuments?"

"Haha, almost. If it hadn't experienced war and was well preserved by later generations, this would be a historical site, a place of cultural and tourist value."

Li Zhi still didn't fully understand what Fang Hexuan meant, so she tried to ask:

"But. But this is already a hotel, right?"

"Haha, it could also be a relic, with great archaeological value."

When Lizhi heard this, she was stunned at first, and then looked at the very confident smile of the man in front of her with some disbelief.

If you still can't guess Fang Hexuan's intention at this time, you would be stupid.

"Brother Xuan, you...are you planning to do some excavation in this hotel?"

Fang Hexuan was amused by Lizhi's cautious question. This girl was quite cute sometimes.

He deliberately tapped the other person's smooth white forehead, causing the other person to be angry. "Haha, Azhi, you are more imaginative than me. This is not my territory. How can I decide to demolish the hotel and excavate the ruins underground?"

"But, what do you want to do, Brother Xuan? I'm not smart, so please don't make things difficult for me."

"You're not stupid, you just don't like to use your brain. To be the secretary of the president of CUHK, you have to think more than Lao Ma."

Lizhi occasionally showed the embarrassment of a little girl. She pursed her lips and seemed to be taught a lesson:

"Oh"

Fang Hexuan didn't keep the suspense any longer.

"In fact, I don't necessarily need to do it myself. We can make use of the power of the Hong Kong government. Of course, newspapers and TV stations can also help."

Having said that, Fang Hexuan stopped talking about this topic, not caring whether Lizhi understood it or not.

In fact, Fang Hexuan had already found some extraordinary people among the people, including top painters who worked for counterfeit money groups, tomb robbers, and aging experts.

The process is very simple. First, bribe some ancient Chinese experts and historical archaeologists to make a fake ancient book that specifically records all the major events that happened during the stay of the two last emperors Zhao Shi and Zhao Bing in Hong Kong.

Of course, these contents are definitely fabricated, but they are a mixture of true and false.

Moreover, it would be best if the author of the ancient book was an official who was loyal to the last court of the Southern Song Dynasty and fled south with the emperor.

Fang Hexuan took out real money, and naturally, the fake history he wanted was obtained within a few days.

Because this fact is so shameful, neither party to the transaction will reveal the details to outsiders.

After Fang Hexuan got a copy of a "pseudo-historical ancient book", he asked the eccentrics he had gathered to authentically transform the book and make it look old.

The tricks and techniques involved were so insightful that even he, the richest man in the world, felt that he had broadened his horizons, let alone outsiders.

Of course, the process of turning "pseudo-historical ancient books" into "official historical ancient books" had not been completed when Fang Hexuan came to Golden Domain Holiday Hotel for dinner.

However, once he gets the "original", Fang Hexuan will have someone smuggle the "original" to Hong Kong through antiquities dealers, and then with the help of Hong Kong's most famous antique collector Xu Zhantang, let the book see the light of day again.

It is not easy to deceive the eyes of this expert.

Therefore, during the entire counterfeiting process, Fang Hexuan required people to be able to make the fakes look real, so that even real treasure appraisal experts would not be able to distinguish the authenticity.

Xu Zhandong is famous enough. If he finds an ancient book related to Hong Kong that records a lot of detailed history, he will definitely be overjoyed. He may even invite Hong Kong historians and archaeological experts to conduct joint research and discussion.

At this time, Fang Hexuan can use public opinion to hype up this ancient book.

You have to know that Hong Kong was just a very inconspicuous fishing village more than a hundred years ago.

Any historical monuments or figures here that have the slightest connection to history will cause quite a stir in Hong Kong.

To put it bluntly, when people become rich, they begin to pursue fame.

If Hong Kong is not only a city of finance, tourism, shopping and trade, but also a famous historical city, then when people spread the news, not only will the Hong Kong citizens gain face, but the Hong Kong government can also use it to brag about it to the outside world, thus boosting Hong Kong's tourism industry, which will definitely be of great benefit.

To put it bluntly, even if the whole thing is fake, I'm afraid there will be people who help create hype.

As for whether Fang Hexuan was worried about being exposed and laughed at, he had nothing to be afraid of.

This kind of thing is not a crime and involves history and culture. Even if there is no result in the end, it will only be regarded as a harmless misunderstanding.

If he successfully acquired the Golden Mile Holiday Hotel, he would naturally spread the news that the records in ancient books were wrong and that the real historical site was not here but might be located somewhere else.
