Chapter 375 Arrival in Ningbo, King of Hengdian

At 1:30 p.m., the three arrived at Ningbo Airport.

As soon as I stepped out of the airport terminal, I saw a well-dressed man dressed as a driver holding a sign welcoming Mr. Shen to Ningbo.

The three of them, Chen Fang, Chen Fang and Chen Fang, exchanged a glance and walked over.

At this moment, a bald, middle-aged man in his fifties, looking energetic, stepped off the car.

"Welcome, Mr. Shen."

Shen Fang smiled as he looked at Xu Wensheng, the pioneer of the Hengdian empire and the King of Hengdian.

"Hello, Mr. Xu. This is Shen Kun, my relative, and this is Huang Bin, the director of our Longteng Media's talent agency."

Xu Wensheng greeted the two with a smile.

"President Shen, please!!!"

Xu Wensheng made an inviting gesture towards Shen Fang, displaying a very courteous and respectful attitude.

Shen Fang and the other two got into the Maybach.

"President Shen, welcome to Ningbo. Yesterday's grand celebration banquet really shocked the industry. Hero has truly made a name for himself overseas this time. It's a pity that I, Xu, had something to attend to and missed such a grand event."

Shen Fang smiled, took out a cigarette, handed one to Xu Wensheng, lit it, and put it in his mouth.

"Old Xu, what's the big deal? If you want to do this in the future, we can hold more grand ceremonies. How about we arrange it in Hengdian? I'll invite everyone here and make it lively. Whoever you want to see, I'll arrange it."

"That's great! Ningbo is a place where you can see a lot of excitement. If so many big stars come here, it will definitely be crazy."

Shen Fang looked at the street scene on the roadside.

"Ningbo is a wonderful place. It has been a land of plenty since ancient times, very wealthy, with a long history and picturesque scenery."

This city has a rich historical atmosphere. Within the old town, many traditional brick-and-wood houses and courtyards with blue tiles and white walls are preserved, leaving a deep impression with their long history and profound cultural heritage.

Xu Wensheng smiled and said, "Ningbo is also a city of delicious food, especially seafood, which attracts countless tourists to come and taste it. Ningbo's fish balls, sardines, seafood porridge and other delicacies are famous throughout the country. There are also many authentic snacks here, such as fermented fish, dried fish shumai, oyster omelet and so on, each with its own characteristics and worth trying."

"Moreover, there are many green spaces in the city, such as Dongqian Lake, Tianyi Pavilion, and Siming Mountain, which provide people with tranquility and comfort. Strolling in these places, breathing fresh air, and feeling the breath of nature makes people feel relaxed."

"Besides its history, culture, and cuisine, Ningbo also boasts a rich and diverse arts and crafts culture. Ningbo's silk, lanterns, and carvings enjoy a high reputation and influence both domestically and internationally. Furthermore, Ningbo's Peking Opera and Yue Opera are renowned traditional arts in China. Here, you can visit various art exhibitions and handicraft markets, experiencing the beauty of art and the charm of tradition."

Shen Fang nodded: "What a great place! It has culture, scenery, and delicious food. It's perfect for tourism."

Xu Wensheng's smile grew wider: "Yes, it's very suitable for tourism. However, Ningbo currently lacks a landmark building or a signature industry to gain fame and attract tourists. Mr. Shen, do you think Ningbo has the opportunity to become the number one tourist city in China?"

Zhong Lingxuan smiled: "As for being the number one tourist city, I think that's barely acceptable, but as for being the number one film and television base, I think that's fine."

Xu Wensheng's smile grew wider: "President Shen, we really hit it off immediately. From now on, may I presume to call you Brother Shen?"

Chen Fang smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you're too kind. What shall we eat? We must be starving after the journey. How about we eat and chat?"

Xu Wensheng laughed loudly: "Brother, I've prepared a grand feast for you. Xiao Liu, hurry up, Brother Shen is hungry."

Driver Xiao Liu nodded: "Okay, boss."

20 minutes later.

The group came down and arrived at the entrance of a quaint, old-fashioned restaurant.

There are three large characters written on it.

Tianyi Pavilion.

"Brother Shen, the place we're having dinner at today is also the pride of Ningbo, Tianyi Pavilion. It was built between the 40th and 45th years of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, under the supervision of Fan Qin, the retired Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. It covers an area of ​​26,000 square meters and has a history of over 400 years. It is said that the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries) of the Qing Dynasty was built in the style of Tianyi Pavilion. It is also the largest library in Chinese history."

Shen Fang nodded: "I've heard of it. It's said that the people who can enter here to study are at least at the Grand Scholar level, and so far no more than ten people have entered. Now it's been turned into a scenic spot."

Xu Wensheng nodded and smiled, "It has indeed become a scenic spot, but the important books inside are not allowed to be viewed, after all, they are cultural relics."

Shen Fang nodded, and the three of them followed Xu Wensheng to an antique-style restaurant located inside Tianyi Pavilion, called Tianzao Pavilion.

Stepping inside, the restaurant's decor was very antique and tasteful. The waiters' attire was also very traditional. We then entered a private room.

There were already quite a few people sitting inside.

Xu Wensheng began by introducing them one by one: "This is Director Liu from the Investment Promotion Bureau, this is Director Fang from the Ningbo Tourism Bureau, this is Director Zhang from the Real Estate Planning Bureau, these two are the major shareholders of our Hengdian Group, Liu Tianliang and Zhang Jianguo, and this is my son Xu Yong'an, Xiao An, call him Uncle Shen."

Sinking Square.......

Xu Yongbo........

My goodness, this guy looks so much younger than me! You want me to call him "uncle"? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing me?
