Chapter 330 Playing
Alex bought a pass, which means that as long as he has time, he can play all the rides in the park without restrictions today.
However, the price of this ticket is really not cheap, it costs 30 Singapore dollars each!
Alex, who has never had any concept of money, couldn't help but feel a little pain when he arrived in Nanhua this time.
However, this large amusement park covering an area of 100 square kilometers really opened his eyes.
The architectural styles here vary. He can recognize some of them, such as European castles and magic towns, but some are completely beyond his cognition.
After asking Chen Tao beside him, he found out that those were actually buildings with fairy tale themes.
The various palaces, pavilions, towers and garden landscapes complement each other and are unique in their own way.
Especially the lake view garden in the fairy-tale theme area, the scenery is so beautiful that it is a feast to the eyes.
Alex's eldest daughter has a special liking for this area and lingers in the garden.
Finally, under the constant urging of their second son, they left reluctantly.
"Dad, can our house be built like this?" the eldest daughter asked him, blinking her eyes.
Alex agreed with a smile. In his opinion, their villa garden was not small anyway, so it should be good to change it into this way. However, the swimming pool might have to be moved. If that didn't work, he could ask his father for some money and buy a bigger house, he thought to himself.
When they arrived at the roller coaster ticket gate, they did not need to buy a ticket because they had already purchased a pass.
Looking at the long line in front of him, Alex couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it might not be possible to experience all the rides with this pass today.
He secretly marveled at how many rich people there were in Nanhua!
If it were in the United States, the ticket for this kind of amusement park would be no more than $2.5, and even if you just rode around the park, it would not cost more than ten dollars.
However, the ticket price for this new city amusement park is as high as 30 Singapore dollars, but there are huge crowds of people coming to visit.
Alex couldn't help but wonder, the population of South China is only about 10 million, where did so many people come from?
Chen Tao seemed to see his doubts and explained with a smile: "The opening hours of the amusement park have long been widely publicized through newspapers and television stations. It has not only attracted a large number of Western tourists, but also tourists from several Southeast Asian countries."
After listening to Chen Tao's explanation, Alex suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the people queuing around him spoke different languages.
He had previously mistakenly thought it was the Nanhua dialect.
After a long wait, it was finally their turn to enter the boarding gate.
Alex is looking forward to this roller coaster.
The track was two kilometers long, and he had never seen a roller coaster of this scale.
Under the urging of the staff, everyone hurriedly boarded the roller coaster.
The staff carefully checked the safety devices one by one to ensure that there were no omissions.
After all the passengers were seated, the staff did not start the roller coaster immediately, but stared at their watches until the exact time came, and then slowly started their car.
This track does not allow only one car to run at a time, but three cars can run on the track at the same time.
Therefore, precise control of time is crucial.
However, Nanhua's technical team has done a lot of careful design on the car.
In particular, signal devices are installed to avoid collisions between two vehicles.
The signal transmission range of the signal device is only over 100 meters. Once the vehicles in front and behind receive each other's signals, the car behind will automatically slow down under the precise control of the computer system.
When the distance between the two cars is shortened to less than 100 meters, another emergency braking system will be activated, the entire roller coaster will stop quickly, and the car will slowly return to the boarding gate under the control of the computer.
The staff sent by Disney reported these improvement measures truthfully to the headquarters.
However, although the headquarters was interested in this system, they were shocked by the high modification price proposed by Nanhua.
If you think about it carefully, it is really not necessary. After all, accidents are rare, and you can also calculate the cost of purchasing, installing and maintaining the system.
After calculating the amount of compensation if something went wrong, Disney headquarters finally decided not to install it as it was not worth it.
Ahhhhh! Alex and the children were sitting in the car, shouting loudly with distorted faces.
It was really thrilling, the car went up and down, and turned back and forth. Alex felt that the 30 Singapore dollars was well worth it.
As the car came to a stop, Alex slumped in his seat, breathing heavily.
He thought to himself: "This is so exciting. I really want to do it again."
However, when he saw that the queue outside had grown much longer, Alex regretfully gave up the idea of continuing to queue.
At noon, they enjoyed lunch in the park. Alex's family chose hamburgers and fried chicken, while Chen Tao's family had rice bowls.
In the afternoon, the two families came to the beach and played some sea activities.
Long water slides, exciting banana boats, and parasailing and surfing.
In the evening, there were various wonderful programs in the park, and the two families also watched a grand fireworks show together.
When Alex and his friends returned to the hotel, the family was too tired to move or even have the energy to chat.
As soon as they returned to the room, they couldn't wait to lie down on the bed and fell asleep almost instantly.
They had a great time that day and didn't even notice how tired they were.
The next day, Alex ignored his little daughter's idea of going to the amusement park and took his family directly to the new city area.
After playing all day yesterday, he felt like he hadn’t recovered all night. If he continued to go out and play today, he felt like he might faint in the amusement park.
On the bustling pedestrian street, there is a lot of hustle and bustle, and the people brought by the amusement park have packed the new city everywhere.
Alex went to a computer store and was very interested in these new technological products.
As a person in the financial industry, he has a keen insight into market trends.
He had come across similar devices in the United States and understood their great potential.
Both he and his organization were convinced that this small personal computer would become an emerging wealth direction in the future.
It’s just that the bank where Alex worked had also discussed with New City about acquiring shares, but he didn’t expect that the other party would regard them as crazy and almost kicked them out of the office.
It was also at that time that they understood what a large state-owned enterprise was and that it was impossible for foreign capital to invest in it.
As their proposal to acquire shares was rejected, they also wanted to cooperate through technology licensing.
However, Nanhua is firm in its attitude and is completely unwilling to engage in business cooperation with any region other than ASEAN countries.
Alex was very confused by Nanhua's strange behavior.
This is totally contrary to business logic. He really doesn't know how Nanhua can develop by doing this.
It was also at this time that Alex saw a real computer for the first time.
With the help of the clerk, he carefully experienced practical software such as office software and chat software, but he had no interest in games.
However, I was short of money, so I asked the clerk if I could pay in USD, but unsurprisingly, I was rejected.
Alex was also helpless about this.
He has traveled to many places around the world, but this is the first time he has encountered a situation where he has US dollars but cannot spend them.
Because he had a child with him, he couldn't stay here for too long.
As soon as I left the computer store, a man came up to me and asked in English, "Sir, do you need new currency?"
Alex was stunned for a moment and looked the other person up and down. It was obvious that he was not Chinese and his skin looked darker.
"How did you change it?" Alex asked.
