After the groundbreaking ceremony for the Thousand Year Palace, Wang Zixuan posted on Weibo: "The construction of the Thousand Year Palace has begun. Wang Zi International Resort Group will invest 10 billion yuan to acquire and exchange precious cultural relics lost overseas, some of which will be donated to museums, and some will be displayed in the Thousand Year Palace."

As soon as this Weibo post was made, it immediately received a large number of likes from netizens.

This is absolutely the largest investment in cultural relic repatriation in the country.

Without mentioning the online praise and media accolades, in terms of patriotism and charity, no one in the country has a higher reputation than Wang Zixuan.

After the design plan for the Thousand Year Palace was released, the 50 billion yuan budget was no longer sufficient.

In addition to acquiring cultural relics from various dynasties to enhance the cultural atmosphere of the Thousand Year Palace,

Wang Zixuan also plans to purchase a large amount of high-quality jade, jadeite, and gemstones to decorate the Golden Palace.

This is not only about creating a true Golden Palace but also an investment.

In the coming years, the prices of jade, jadeite, and other gemstones will skyrocket, with the prices of high-quality jade and jadeite increasing by several dozen times, not inferior to the returns of the Predator Fund.

Wang Zixuan's idea is to convert all the money he has taken from the capital market into sustainable industries or assets that can retain or increase in value.

He can take several hundred billion dollars from the capital market, but no matter what currency it is converted into, it is just paper. Once the central banks start printing money, the value of this money will depreciate.

Only sustainable industries are true wealth.

Even if he spends more money now, he must turn the paper in his hands into high-quality industries.

After seeing off the guests who attended the groundbreaking ceremony, Wang Zixuan immediately took his private jet to Germany.

After nearly 20 hours of flying, the plane landed at Hamburg Airport.

As Wang Zixuan walked down the gangway, he saw a row of Mercedes-Benz cars neatly parked on the tarmac, with burly German men standing in front of them.

The most eye-catching was a young man standing in front of the gangway, tall and wearing a black trench coat, with finely chiseled features, standing like a perfect sculpture in the wind.

Seeing Wang Zixuan walk out of the cabin, a radiant smile immediately appeared on his face.

He is really damn handsome.

Wang Zixuan couldn't help but admire Adolf von Frank when he saw him.

Yeah, just a little less handsome than him.

Actually, the two have very different facial features. Although Wang Zixuan's features are also very three-dimensional, they still have the softness of an Easterner, while Adolf von Frank's features are entirely Western, chiseled like a statue.

Adolf von Frank is a friend Wang Zixuan met while being a spendthrift in the United States. Born into a Junker noble family, Adolf and Wang Zixuan, who has a noble aura, hit it off immediately and became close friends.

The Frank family is very influential in Europe, controlling many industries.

Wang Zixuan's custom-made plane was designed with the help of Adolf von Frank.

Although both the spendthrift and Adolf von Frank are very knowledgeable about art, Wang Zixuan's thinking still dominates, and the spendthrift's memory has been pushed to the side.

Since he is always a step behind in understanding what the spendthrift knows, Wang Zixuan lazily handed over the design work to Adolf von Frank.

"My dear friend, how have you been?"

As Wang Zixuan walked down the gangway, Adolf von Frank walked up, embracing him and greeting him in standard Mandarin.

Adolf von Frank has one-eighth Chinese blood, not only speaking Mandarin but also having some knowledge of Chinese culture.

Wang Zixuan patted Adolf's back twice and smiled, saying, "Long time no see, I miss you very much."

If he hadn't completely taken over the spendthrift's memory, he would have suspected that the two had a romantic relationship.

The two only met for a few days but became close friends, and every time they met, they were especially affectionate.

Plus, both men are incredibly handsome, making it seem like there's a lot of chemistry between them.

Adolf released Wang Zixuan, made an inviting gesture, and smiled, "Let's talk in the car. Please."

"Sure."

Wang Zixuan and his entourage got into Adolf's convoy and left the airport.

Seeing this long line of Mercedes-Benz cars at Hamburg Airport, the bodyguards also knew the power of the Frank family.

The convoy arrived at a villa complex by the Alster Lake, a place where Hamburg's wealthy live.

During World War II, Hamburg was heavily bombed, and most of the city was destroyed, leaving few historic buildings.

Hamburg, officially known as the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, is Germany's largest port, yet the city is leisurely and peaceful, a perfect balance of industry and culture, commerce and art.

The city of Hamburg has the main channel and two tributaries of the Elbe River, the third-largest river in Germany, as well as the Alster River, the Bille River, and hundreds of streams and small canals, forming a dense network of waterways.

With so much water, there are naturally many bridges. Hamburg has a total of 2,500 bridges, even more than the combined total of Venice, Amsterdam, and London.

Modern bridges are also common in Hamburg, but there are also some with a bit of history.

Of course, they can't compare to the thousand-year-old bridges in China.

The oldest bridge in Hamburg is the Customs Bridge, built in 1633.

The most modern bridge is the Köhlbrand Bridge, which spans the Elbe River, built in 1974, about 4,000 meters long, over 50 meters high, and can accommodate four lanes of traffic, known as the "First of a Hundred Bridges."

Getting out of the car and standing on the white sand dike where the villa is located, the Elbe River and Hamburg Port are in full view.

Adolf von Frank pointed to the nearby river and introduced it to Wang Zixuan: "That is the Elbe River, the third-largest river in Germany. Through the Elbe waterway, you can reach Berlin.

That is Hamburg Port, with over 60 large and small docks, capable of accommodating more than 250 large cargo ships simultaneously. The water depth is over 11 meters even at low tide, allowing 10,000-ton ships to sail 120 kilometers up the Elbe River from the North Sea to the port. Hamburg Port has over 300 international shipping routes, maintaining contact with more than 1,100 major ports worldwide, with nearly 20,000 ships entering the port each year, making it the gateway to the world for Germany.

That is the Alster Lake, with a surface area of 160 hectares, but the deepest point is only 2.5 meters. It is an artificial lake and a paradise for sailors, a lake with a strong artistic atmosphere."

Adolf von Frank's tone was full of pride, a very self-absorbed German noble.

He is as narcissistic as the spendthrift.

Wang Zixuan secretly mocked him and smiled, "It's a beautiful city. If I didn't have so many things to do back home, I would definitely enjoy the charm of this city to the fullest."

Adolf von Frank said with a hint of regret, "Our steps are always hurried, and we miss too many beautiful scenes."
