Until he boarded the cruise ship that was like a fortress on the sea, Old Zhang's brain, which was considered active at his age, had not figured out the logic of "because the rent for the world's largest cruise ship is too expensive, so why not just buy it."
Then, as he walked into the room assigned to him, he quickly stopped thinking about this logic.
This room is too big...
It even has a separate bathroom and dining area. It has everything a house should have.
If you have never been on a ship, you might just be surprised by the size of the room, but Lao Zhang has been to sea, so he knows what a normal ship looks like.
In his original expectation, according to the ticket price, as long as the room was ten square meters, it would be considered very good.
After all, on a cruise ship, every inch of space counts.
And now, this big room is placed in front of Old Zhang. Its total area is as big as his house. It looks like it is at least 130 square meters! Old Zhang: "..."
He looked down at the ticket in his hand again, and even wondered if he was still dreaming.
Can I enjoy these with this ticket money?
"This is a big room. Am I the only one living here?"
The staff member who brought him here was a little confused: "This is a parent-child room, aren't you here with your family?"
Old Zhang was also puzzled: "Family room?"
"Because of the room size, the Xingmang will only accommodate a family traveling together. When we booked the trip for the audience, we asked about it in advance. The information shows that this room is shared by you and your son Zhang Hua. Didn't you communicate this with your family?"
Old Zhang was stunned for a second, and instantly recalled his son's expression as if he was trying to hold back his laughter before he left.
The staff also kindly reminded: "The cruise ship is a bit big. If you want to go out for a walk, you can take a look at the cruise brochure and map on the table."
Old Zhang's mind was already filled with thoughts like "I knew you were up to something, little brat", so he had no time to read the brochure.
Hmm...that's not right. After all, I still have to stay here for ten days, so I might as well take a look and get a rough understanding of it.
Two hours later—
Zhang Hua, who successfully tricked his father onto the ship, also successfully boarded the cruise ship. He opened the door stealthily, and after a few seconds of mental preparation, he pushed his suitcase forward with a look of readiness to die.
"Dad! I'm here! You can scold me!"
——No one paid any attention to him at all.
Zhang Hua: "? Dad??"
As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that his own father was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a thick booklet, so focused that he didn't even notice his presence.
Zhang Hua: "...What are you looking at? You look so absorbed in it..."
Old Zhang, who was still thinking about scolding this brat two hours ago, drooped his eyelids, reluctantly took a little time to look up at him: "You're here, so what are you arguing about? Stop arguing and let me read the introduction."
Zhang Hua: “…”
Along the way he was thinking about how to fool his father, such as playing the family card, "I also want you to come out and relax," or the shameless card, "Go ahead and scold me, and it's over. Now that you're on the boat you can't get off."
As a result, his father was only focused on reading the introduction and ignored him at all.
Children who grew up in a single-parent family naturally want to grab their father's attention. Zhang Hua muttered to himself and walked over feeling a little uncomfortable. Just as he was about to criticize the booklet, his eyes were attracted by the photo on it.
"What the hell! There's a swimming pool on this cruise ship?! And a shopping street?? How come there's a golf course?!"
"Hey dad, stop hitting me! Can't I just say fuck?"
*** There are many people who are as shocked as Zhang's father and son.
This also includes the current owner of the cruise ship: Sheng Quan.
"There are stadiums, cinemas, shopping streets, libraries, amusement parks, rock climbing walls, and hot spring saunas..."
It's like a city.
It must be said that it matches well with the already well-established “entertainment island” Kara Island.
Sheng Quan: [006, your lottery prize pool is getting more and more outrageous. ]
006 was very touched by the host's praise: [As long as the host likes it! The prize pool is open only because the host is supporting the sponsored people! ]
Sheng Quan knew that as her career progressed, the value of the items in the prize pool would also increase.
Just as I drew the Kara Island, the world's largest luxury cruise ship appeared.
Its value certainly cannot be compared with that of Kara Island, but being able to buy it is a kind of strength in itself.
Now everyone knows that buying the largest island was not enough to satisfy Sheng Quan, so she immediately bought the world's largest luxury cruise ship.
And she bought it just to be a passenger at the concert.
It's so generous that it makes people lose their temper.
While she was still reading the introduction, someone had already called the company that built the cruise ship.
You know, in the past few years, this cruise company has always been proud of having built the world's largest luxury cruise ship, and regards it as an honor.
"What did she give to make you willing to sell your company's sign to her?"
The chairman of the cruise company sat in his comfortable office chair: "Of course it's money my dear friend."
"She offered 10.8 billion Chinese Yuan. Tell me, what would happen if I didn't sell Yuanhang to her? Oh, no, now it has been renamed Xingmang. It's a good name."
The caller: "One hundred and eight hundred million..."
Many people in the world can afford this amount of money, but again , they won't spend so much cash just to buy a cruise ship.
Not only did Sheng Quan spend a huge amount of money to buy a luxury cruise ship, but after buying it, he did not use it to invite celebrities from all walks of life, but instead used it as an ordinary cruise ship to transport spectators.
One hundred and eight billion, a sum that would make most wealthy people's hearts stop when they heard it, but to her, it seemed as easy as buying a large toy.
"So, will you go to that concert?"
After brainstorming for half a minute, the friend who came to inquire asked, "You know, if we go, it would be equivalent to supporting Xingmang."
"She is our company's best partner. Not to mention just holding a concert, even if she wants to slide down a cliff, I will definitely go."
No one knows what the chairman of the cruise company was thinking before, but after selling the cruise ship, he seemed to have instantly become Sheng Quan's best friend, unconditionally supporting all of his good friend's decisions.
Friend on the phone: ...guessing it.
Finally, after hanging up the phone, he turned to his butler and said:
"Find the invitation letter that Xingmang Shengdong sent me, arrange the time, and tell them that I will be there."
Starting a new era is never easy.
But Sheng Quan's purchase of Kara Island instantly eliminated most of this difficulty.
After she bought a luxury cruise ship worth tens of billions of dollars as if it were a small toy, some of the old "forces" that were originally on the sidelines would only applaud and say "it drives so well, it drives in seconds, it drives so well".
Sheng Quan was not aware of these conversations, but she could guess.
At this moment, she was lying comfortably in the top suite and watching videos.
This does not exist for a luxury cruise ship. The suite she is living in now has a total area of 900 square meters, which is more than enough for Sheng Quan to invite people to hold a party.
Looking at the videos of the interior of the cruise ship that had been posted by many spectators on board, as well as the crowds of onlookers in the comment section whose eyes were almost red and who were screaming with envy and jealousy, President Sheng smiled faintly, hiding his achievements and fame.
Yes, that’s it, let’s discuss it.
Under the attention of the whole world, the Starlight sets sail.
At the same time.
In [Crossing the Starry Sea], the contestants who won the qualification for the private island concert, also left the program team in a car and prepared to board the plane under the envious gaze of others.
Of course the live broadcast never stopped.
So the audience was able to watch with laughter as the contestants followed their mentors, chatting in the car with both anticipation and nervousness.
“Will there really be 10 million people?”
"If the production team says yes, then there must be."
"But that's an island. How are 10 million people going to get there?"
Jing Tiangao, who had a lot of imagination, leaned against Tu Zhu. When he heard the words of the contestant behind him, he suddenly sat up straight: "But what if the production team is just teasing us? It's like a prank show. We thought there were 10 million people, but when we got to the scene, there was actually a person called 10 million waiting for us."
Other contestants: “…It seems possible.”
When all the contestants were led astray, only Lan He and Tu Zhu looked at each other with confidence in their eyes:
"President Sheng said there are 10 million people, so there must be."
Tu Zhu responded: "Yes, Director Sheng will not lie to us. Since she said it, she will definitely do it."
[Laughing to death, these two Sheng Quan fans started again]
[To be honest, I have always suspected that among all the male contestants, my Lan He and Tu Zhu get along the best because they are both fans of Sheng Dongwei]
[I saw these two eating and dancing together before, and I was happy to think they were going to start shipping each other, but they just got together to talk about how great Sheng Quan is]
[Hahahaha, most of the contestants don't believe there are 10 million people. I'm already on the cruise ship. I can't wait to see what their expressions will be when they see us, the audience, hahaha! ]
The thread that was originally a harmonious discussion immediately went astray.
[Fuck! Someone, get this person who bought the ticket out!]
[What kind of scumbag would show off in the live broadcast room after buying the tickets? Shameless! ! ]
[Wow, I saw a lot of videos about ocean cruises, and the main one was about regretting that I should have bought tickets in the first place]
[Who knows? In the morning, I saw the audience having a swimming competition on the cruise ship. In the afternoon, I saw them eating a delicious buffet. In the evening, I saw hundreds of people playing board games in groups. In the early morning, I could still see a group of people singing karaoke on the cruise ship. I was so jealous that I almost turned into a rabbit! ]
[Someone mocked me online before, saying that those 10 million people who were willing to sit on a boat for 10 days and 10 nights just to watch a concert were really fools. I commented at the time, "Yes, yes, they are all a bunch of fools." Now: I am the fool.]
[If nothing else, there are so many things to do on those cruise ships. There is everything you want. I would be willing to stay there for a lifetime, not just ten days!]
No matter how many people had said how ridiculous it was to watch a concert on an isolated island, once the cruise ship audience released the video, all the criticism turned into envy.
And it is the kind that netizens all over the world envy.
[Wow, as the concert time gets closer, I feel really anxious. I can’t imagine how happy those 10 million people are having, and how shocking the scene will be]
[Me too, so I watched Xinghai live broadcast diligently every day, opened multiple devices to watch cruise ship videos at the same time, and then used the computer to watch the scenery released by Kara Island. The main point is a sense of network participation! ]
【Upstairs plus one】
【Plus one】
Thanks to their unremitting efforts on the Internet, [Guo Xinghai Private Island Concert] has always dominated the hot searches in various countries.
Even if a contestant on the show today muttered, "I don't know if there is enough food on the island," it would immediately become a hot topic in many countries, accompanied by pictures of shopping malls, restaurants and delicious food on the various islands.

Finally, under everyone's expectation, the contestants' plane arrived above the island.
From a distance, the young people on the plane looked down.
Then, they saw a sea city standing in the vast ocean.
In the very center of the city is a honeycomb-like building that shocks people at first sight. Even when viewed from the sky, it is still huge, domineeringly showing that it is the core of the island.
The contestants who have already prepared for the jungle concert: "...Oh my god."
These buildings are so stunning that one would even doubt whether they were built by human hands.
At this moment, they realized what kind of program they were participating in.
Below, Sheng Quan stood on the top floor of the "beehive", the wind blew her hair up, and behind her were a group of long-legged bodyguards. From this angle, the island was in full view.
She looked at the plane that was slowly landing, as if she saw a future where Xingmang would be at the top of the world.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
The audience stepped onto the island with a look of wonder.
The contestants tried hard to adjust themselves after the shock.
A large number of staff members were shuttling around the island. The monitoring room was full of inspectors, and people were distributing free balloons on the streets.
Small red flags were hung on both sides of the road, and mechanical dogs and handsomely dressed long-legged security guards were patrolling the streets.
Build cool robots that walk on fixed routes and are happy to help if someone asks for directions.
The child was carried into the room by his parents and shouted in surprise: "It's so beautiful! I love it here!"
The young couple walked into the mall in amazement: "What a huge mall, it really feels like we are in a big city."
Some people walked into the hospital and received proper treatment. They were stunned and called their families while walking: "The hospital here can actually use medical insurance. I can even see the troops stationed in the distance. My God, this feels so magical."
Also feeling the magic were journalists from various countries, who had finally gotten the chance to go to the island and were eager to record every scene they saw.
Before the concert even started, everyone had already felt the unparalleled peak of entertainment.
"Entertainment Island, this is really an entertainment island! This is simply a world-class miracle city!!"
Sheng Quan just stood on the top layer of the hive, looking down quietly.
Actually, I couldn’t see anything because it was too high.
——Luckily she had a telescope.
As people were happily touring the island, the originally scheduled time finally arrived.
The Beehive Concert officially begins.
