The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 444

"How many degrees is the Leaning Tower of Pisa tilted?" Ma Yunteng asked.

"5.5 degrees!"

"Oh, no wonder it looked so strange, it's because of the five-degree difference." Ma Yunteng clicked his tongue. "Mr. Zhao, go find fifty excavators and call a demolition team. Take this building down!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Peng was momentarily stunned: "Brother Teng, why?"

"No reason, it just looks awkward!" Ma Yunteng said casually.

“But boss, this building is said to have cost 100 million to build, and the interior decoration is quite luxurious. We also spent 300 million to acquire this commercial building... Isn’t it a pity to just let it go like this?” The chief designer swallowed and looked at Ma Yunteng with disbelief.

"What's there to regret? We can still hear the sound after we knock them down, can't we?" Ma Yunteng said calmly, looking at the two of them.

"Huh?" Zhao Peng was also dumbfounded. He had heard stories of wealthy people smashing their cars when they were in a bad mood, and every time he heard such news, he felt that those people were rich and willful. But now he realized that the truly rich and willful person had always been his boss.

"Brother Teng, here's a vegetable pancake for you, it's so delicious!" Lin Shike suddenly walked over with a vegetable pancake.

"Well, how about it? Are you satisfied with this food street?" Ma Yunteng asked with a slight smile.

"The food is all delicious! But there's one drawback!" Lin Shike pouted and said seriously, "Chinese food streets are all integrated with local customs and culture, but the food street you built has no cultural atmosphere at all!"

"Cultural atmosphere?"

Ma Yunteng was slightly taken aback. He looked at the snack street again and suddenly felt that Lin Shike's words made sense.

The entire food street looks incongruous and lacks any cultural atmosphere whatsoever!

He remained silent for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked at the chief designer behind him: "Go and get me a copy of 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'!"

Chapter 324 Private Juice

"Brother Teng, why are you using the 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' scroll?" Lin Shike blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, since it lacks cultural atmosphere, let's find a way to create one. I've been thinking, let's build this food street according to the Qingming Scroll." Ma Yunteng looked at the three of them and said calmly, "Here's what we'll do: tear down this entire street and rebuild it to the standards of the Qingming Scroll!"

Build me a bridge wherever it's needed.

Where there is water, dig pits to create water.

They built teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops for me on both sides of the street.

Don't overlook the quaint, moss-covered courtyards of ordinary people.

Please recruit for all available professions. For example, those who frame calligraphy and paintings, make clothes, sell books, sell umbrellas, sell paper, sell vegetables, sell furniture, sell antiques, sell plasters, sell silk, sell wine, sell flowers, perform, sell sex...

At this point, Ma Yunteng suddenly paused because Lin Shike's fingertips were pinching his arm.

"Uh... forget about those who sell themselves." Ma Yunteng chuckled dryly, then continued:

"Furthermore, seal this area off and strictly prohibit vehicles from passing through. Since we're aiming to recreate the 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' scroll, everything here must reflect an ancient style. We'll use the most primitive handcarts for transportation. Every brick and tile here should be in an ancient style, and all the vendors should be dressed in ancient clothing."

Besides, people in ancient times really enjoyed listening to storytelling, right?

Alright! Invite the most famous storyteller in China to come here and tell stories for me!

As for the content... let him tell me about my deeds!

Also, bring that Chu Jiang mantis shrimp over here and have him write a history book about the Northern Song Dynasty! I've been wanting to read some historical fiction lately!

In short... we strive to faithfully recreate life during the Northern Song Dynasty, allowing everyone who enters this place to experience a sense of tranquility!

After saying all this in one go, Ma Yunteng was also quite tired.

I lit a cigarette and, recalling what I had just said, a beautiful image involuntarily surfaced in my mind:

Walking through this snack street, you can randomly enter a courtyard and be surrounded by the faint scent of sandalwood. Specks of sunlight stream through the intricately carved windows. Turning to the side, you'll find an ancient woman's boudoir. A guqin stands in the corner, and a bronze mirror sits on a wooden dressing table. The whole room exudes a sense of tranquility and comfort.

This is absolutely a beautiful picture.

What Ma Yunteng needs to do now is to turn this picture into reality!

"That sounds amazing!" Lin Shike laughed happily. "If it really is built into a food street like the one in the Qingming Scroll, then this place will definitely become the most famous food street in China!"

"Well, it's alright, I'd say." Ma Yunteng smiled slightly and continued, "By the way, try your best to build that 'Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon' thing as well."

“Boss…the kind of food street you’re talking about is already a scenic spot…” Zhao Peng exclaimed. If this food street were really built, this place would definitely become a five-star scenic spot.

"Whether it's a scenic spot or not is unimportant! What's important is to truly recreate this 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' painting! The cost is tentatively set at 10 billion." Ma Yunteng said casually, "After all, you get what you pay for. If we want to truly recreate 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival,' then we have to spend this 10 billion!"

Zhao Peng was stunned and just kept nodding.

The chief designer on the side was also completely dumbfounded... To be honest, he works in design and has come into contact with many big bosses, but he has never seen a boss as crazy as Ma Yunteng!

"Wow, that's a real tycoon!" The designer couldn't help but exclaim inwardly as he looked at Ma Yunteng's nonchalant demeanor.

After explaining all that, Ma Yunteng strolled around the snack street and ate a couple of snacks. Suddenly, he felt very thirsty, so he walked over to a juice stall. His eyes swept over the various juices, and he spotted one called Baijuxiang.

However, the price is as high as one thousand yuan per serving!

The most expensive juice around here is only twenty yuan!

"Boss, why is your juice so expensive?" Ma Yunteng asked the boss, somewhat puzzled.

"You may not know this, but this Baijuxiang fruit juice is made from a blend of 101 kinds of fruits. The taste and flavor are top-notch. It's a family secret recipe passed down through generations!" The owner, a beautiful woman, enthusiastically introduced the juice to Ma Yunteng.

"Uh, 101 kinds of juice mixed together, can you even drink that?" A strange look crossed Ma Yunteng's face as he said with a wry smile.
