Chapter 911 Oriental Show
Of course, the oil leak was real. After all, Xia Ran did it herself, so how could she not know?
However, in order to fry it more thoroughly and destroy it more completely, she added more engine oil and diesel fuel.
Some machines use diesel fuel and some use engine oil, so it's reasonable for her to add some more.
A deafening explosion resounded through the sky, illuminating the entire heavens.
Xia Ran sat in a car not far away, quietly admiring her masterpiece, feeling that the evening breeze was exceptionally charming and gentle.
She snapped her fingers. "Our legal team should start making their moves soon." She was determined to make the other side pay until they were left with nothing.
Then, he drove off.
Jiu Ge, who was in a state of excitement after doing something bad, imitated the villains on TV, baring her teeth and striking a villainous pose.
It even asked Xia Ran if its expression looked evil.
Xia Ran looked at Jiu Ge, who was hovering in mid-air making faces, and thought that Jiu Ge was even cuter at this moment.
It was hilarious; he scooped it back with one hand, gave it a big kiss, and threw it back into the passenger seat.
"Yes, keep it up, Jiuge, that's the style. Right now you look just like a villainous boss, so powerful and flavorful."
Jiuge was even happier after hearing this, and rolled around a few times in the passenger seat before settling in.
It wiggled its round little body, waved its paws, and sang, "Go, go, go, only only..."
Jiu Ge heard this song from Xia Ran, but she only knew the climax of the song.
After finishing this task, Xia Ran officially began patrolling her own company and businesses.
After all, during that year, the company had taken advantage of the bursting of the dot-com bubble to acquire and merge with many companies and industries.
Now is the perfect time to buy at the bottom and grab bargains.
Midway through, Xia Ran received a call from the person in charge who had been sent out to liaise with the theater and studio.
It is said that the Hudson Theatre, located on Broadway, is being sold at a super low price.
Ask Xia Ran if she wants to take it in.
They said that with some renovations and modifications, it could still be used.
Xia Ran immediately agreed after hearing this. She had just finished her business here, so she took a plane and flew over.
If she could, she would certainly like to own her own theater.
When the time comes, they can act in whatever they want and broadcast whatever they want; they can completely decide for themselves.
That is, if we don't consider revenue issues.
She wants to promote Chinese culture ahead of time to prevent it from being misrepresented and spread by unscrupulous foreign media.
Xia Ran went to check it out, and it was indeed one of the oldest theaters on Broadway.
Built in 1903, it has witnessed a full century of history and vicissitudes.
The interior furnishings are indeed old and complicated, and it's easy to get annoyed if you look at them for too long.
It lacks the necessary blank space and elegance; if you want to use it yourself, you'll need to renovate and tidy it up.
Fortunately, due to poor management and years of losses, it changed hands several times, resulting in no one being interested in it now.
The current holders had very low expectations for its price, and Xia Ran took over after two rounds of negotiations.
Xia Ran has decided on the name: "Oriental Show," which immediately evokes images of Eastern culture.
Not for profit, just to make a sound.
If the exterior of the theater can't be changed, then change the interior.
Xia Ran told the person in charge her ideas and requirements and then asked him to handle it.
It needs to have a more modern, technological feel, but also a touch of classic style.
Unfortunately, LCD TVs only went online for the first time this year, and the technology still needs improvement.
It's still quite a distance from the large electronic screens that we'll see everywhere in later generations; we'll just have to wait and see.
She didn't expect to make money from this theater, and was even prepared to lose money.
However, this was a move that had to be made.
She wants to use this as a window and platform to present a different Chinese culture and spirit to the world.
This theater only shows plays and programs performed by Chinese people.
First, a few traditional Chinese style fashion shows, then a few theatrical performances, and finally a few classical dance dramas and musicals.
Xia Ran made a phone call to the company in the port city.
They wanted to contact some of the most famous superstars and Miss Hong Kong contestants who would later become famous to attend the opening ceremony of their theater.
Given the opportunity to perform abroad, and considering people's current infatuation with foreigners, they would probably be willing to perform for free.
Of course, Xia Ran wouldn't shortchange the family on their payment; she wasn't that stingy.
If we don't have enough programs to rehearse, we'll make up for it with classic Chinese movies and TV series.
Books like Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and martial arts movies and TV series by Gu Long and Jin Yong can all be played.
Give the foreigners something good to eat.
Let them see what martial arts are, what political intrigue is, and what kung fu is.
She wants to weld some of China's classic plays onto this land and play them on a loop whenever she has free time.
Just like our country's summer and winter vacations, it's the same old story of re-airing Journey to the West or Princess Pearl day after day, endlessly.
The key is that ordinary people watch it again and again, and they will still choose to watch it again next time they encounter it, and they will still enjoy it just the same.
At the same time, it can also help to demystify those people in our country who idolize foreign things and always think that the moon is rounder in foreign countries than in China.
Of course, it can also help those who are away from home to alleviate their homesickness.
This can be considered a win-win situation.
Xia Ran asked Chen Jin to polish the programs and plays they had prepared for rehearsals, and to start the performance once everything was ready.
There are dozens of theaters of all sizes on Broadway, but this is the only one currently up for sale.
Xia Ran patiently bought tickets and tried watching a few performances.
I couldn't watch a single show from beginning to end, whether it was a musical or another play.
This is probably a cultural barrier; Xia Ran simply can't appreciate it at all.
Let's leave it at that for now. We'll set up a dedicated studio later when the opportunity arises.
A while ago, they acquired a five-star hotel not far from here at a low price, and are currently upgrading and renovating its interior design.
It was affected by the dot-com bubble and ended up in Xia Ran's hands after being used by its former owner to pay off debts and cover losses.
Xia Ran went over to take a look and saw that it was almost ready. The hotel interior was marked with signs in both English and Chinese.
The wealthy of the future will all come from China, and these people will be the main consumer group in the future. How can we do without the Chinese language?
The second floor of the hotel was renovated and converted into a large Chinese restaurant.
The first floor houses a Western restaurant and a place to have afternoon tea, read books, and work, while the third floor is a gym.
The fourth floor and above are the guest room area.
This is our company's first foray into the overseas hotel industry.
Buying it was purely accidental.
If possible, she will officially enter the global hotel industry.
She wouldn't mind copying future hotel management models into the present day.
She refused to believe that she couldn't tear off a piece of flesh here.
Land acquisition and hotel construction are also a small branch of her future development strategy.
Of course, it's more satisfying to build a hotel on land you buy yourself.
