Chapter 372: The Will of the Sparrow
The reason why I chose "Konigsegg" as the brand and company name is not only because Koenigsegg is the initiator of the five of them, but also because the word Koenigsegg means "blade", which is very consistent with the image of the top sports car they want to build.
In short, in the cheerful atmosphere, Chen Kangjie had another company. This small restaurant was destined to become auspicious place for Koenigsec Automobile Company. Later, the establishment ceremony of Koenigsec Automobile Company was actually held in this small restaurant, which looked very warm. This small restaurant called Gross became famous with Koenigsec Automobile's reputation worldwide. Tourists who went directly to Gothenburg to visit all over the world like to choose to eat here and enjoy good luck. Maybe their dreams will become a reality because of a similar adventure.
After solving the cooperation with Konisek and others, Chen Kangjie and his group became ordinary viewers again. When there was a Danish team game, they would watch it on-site. If there was no one, they would watch the TV broadcast. When there was no competition, they would visit everywhere.
Neither the Denmark nor other teams played in Stockholm, but as Sweden's capital and the largest city, it is also the place with the richest historical sites. In his spare time, Chen Kangjie and the others have to go to Stockholm for a walk, otherwise it would feel like they had never been to Sweden.
Stockholm is located on the east coast of Sweden, bordering the Baltic Sea and at the seaside of Lake Melaren. It has beautiful scenery and is a famous tourist destination. The city is distributed on 14 islands and a peninsula. More than 70 bridges combine these islands into one, so it enjoys the reputation of "Northern Venice". The state organ of Sweden and the parliament are located in Stockholm, and the official palace of the royal family is also here.
In the summer from June to August, it is suitable for travel. The summer in Sweden is better than people expect. It is often warm and sunny weather that lasts for many days. Generally, the temperature is above 25℃. The summer is full of sunshine, the day is long and the night is short. There is no dark night in June and early summer in July.
Chen Kangjie was not very interested in Stockholm's new city, but he liked Gemrastan, the old city, where there were magnificent palaces, extraordinary churches and towering spires. The narrow streets and alleys showed the medieval street style. The Swedish Palace, the Royal Opera House, the Royal Theatre, the Parliament Building and the Stockholm City Hall were all gathered here.
Chen Kangjie has already built a tourism company, so it is not bad to visit more places, learn from other people's experiences, and experience different techniques and styles.
The Swedish Royal Palace is an almost certain place for tourists to Stockholm. It is somewhat similar to the fact that tourists visiting the Chinese capital must go to the Forbidden City. It was built in the 17th century AD. It is a small square castle. In front of the front gate of the palace, two stone lions with claws stand on both sides. At the door, several guards wearing red tassels, wearing medieval military uniforms stand majestic. Every day at noon, the guards will hold a grand ceremony to change their guards. Visitors can buy a ticket, enter the palace through the guard post, visit the gold, silver, jewelry and various exquisite utensils left by Swedish kings of all ages, and enjoy the dazzling array of murals in the palace.
Near the palace, Chen Kangjie and the others unexpectedly discovered a Chinese-style garden with a Chinese flavor. There was a plaque called "Beihai Grass Cottage". It was not common in so many foreign places that Chen Kangjie had been to. Chen Kangjie and the others walked in and found out that Kang Youwei had lived here when he was exiled during the Reform Movement of 1898. In 1909, when he arrived here, he took a fancy to this island and bought it and built a Chinese-style garden named "Beihai Grass Cottage". Nearly a hundred years have passed, and it is still well preserved. Even the facilities inside are mostly objects that Mr. Kang used by him back then, which made Chen Kangjie and the others sigh.
In Western countries, we pay great attention to the protection of historical monuments and buildings, and the original flavor. In contrast, China, which claims to be an ancient civilization, has entered the 1990s, with the development of urbanization, too many old buildings were flattened by bulldozers and turned into tall buildings that are even more Western than the West. Therefore, when many foreigners visited China and wanted to experience what an ancient civilization was, they actually found that they themselves were more like an ancient civilization, while China with steel and concrete was more modern.
At noon, Chen Kangjie and his friends found a restaurant called Bakfickan. At the train station in Goethelm, Chen Kangjie once took a free travel poster, which said that the restaurant was loved by locals. It not only tastes pure, but also has a fair price. When they entered, the Art Nouveau style decoration made people feel at home.
Here, Chen Kangjie and his group spent 200 Swedish kroner each, ordered a very hearty lunch, with a lot of seafood, bread and milk. Everyone had a lot of fun. Although the taste would look a bit strange compared to Chinese food, eating it for a while will really make you feel that the taste is very good.
When traveling in Sweden, it is best to have lunch on time at noon. The local restaurant only provides services between 11 and 14 o'clock. After 14 o'clock, you may not find anything to eat.
"Sir, you are Chinese." The waiter asked friendly when paying the bill.
"Yes, authentic Chinese have just come from China," Chen Kangjie replied.
"I suggest you that if you travel in Sweden, in addition to the city, you can also go to the suburbs. The air is good, the scenery is beautiful, and it is very pleasant," the waiter kindly suggested.
"Verygood, this is a very good suggestion."
Swedes have good benefits and long holidays. In addition to liking to travel abroad, outings are almost every family's daily vacation. They love nature and take good care of flowers, birds and trees. Even abuse cats and dogs in Sweden may face the risk of being prosecuted.
"Mr. Jie, you really plan to go on an outing." Ouyang Zhenhua asked after the waiter left.
"What, is there any problem? What a good thing to go into nature." Chen Kangjie smiled.
"No problem, I haven't been on an outing for a long time."
"What is the standard of happiness you understand?" Chen Kangjie suddenly asked Ouyang Zhenhua.
"The standard of happiness is that happiness means having money and living well," Ouyang Zhenhua said after thinking for a moment.
"There is a very simple standard. It depends on how much time a person spends with his family spends with nature. The more he is, the happier he is. Money is not among the measurements." Chen Kangjie took the milk and took a sip.
Ouyang Zhenhua was attracted by the simple words Chen Kangjie said. After slowly savoring them, it was really the case. He was busy making a lot of money by himself, but he had no time to spend time with his family, nor did he have time to climb mountains, fish, and take a walk in the suburbs. Such people are just money-making machines.
"So when we make money outside, we are swallows, and we can fly very high, but we must keep our direction. When we get home, we will be sparrows. We stay at home and stay at home. The old saying goes, "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?" In fact, there is nothing wrong with "a sparrow's ambition". If we need to sacrifice a lot of happy life to achieve the so-called "ambition of a swan", then this is meaningless. Most politicians are like this, and they can only give up their small family for the sake of the country," Chen Kangjie continued to explain.
This may partly explain one reason why Chen Kangjie is unwilling to agree to those big figures to enter politics in the future. Money must be made and life must be enjoyed. Family is always put first by Chen Kangjie. No matter what he does, it is absolutely unacceptable if he gives up his family at the cost of giving up his family.
"Mr. Jie, when will I go? I will tell Mags and the others to make arrangements in advance."
The Mags mentioned by Ouyang Zhenhua is the president of a British company. Jay Cheung wants to go on an outing. They are not familiar with Sweden. Of course, people need to prepare cars, horses, routes, and projects that have been visited.
"There is no need to be so troublesome. We will continue to play in the city this afternoon and go tomorrow morning. Since it was the waiter just now, let's find him as a tour guide. The locals are more familiar with the situation." Chen Kangjie is really good at making a decision.
"I'm worried that it will be unreliable. British companies also have Swedish employees," Ouyang Zhenhua suggested.
"No need. We are ordinary tourists and no one knows us. Sweden's public security is very good. Moreover, it is the European Championships, so there will be no trouble." Chen Kangjie performed very casually and there is no need to mobilize all the troops.
Mr. Jie had to insist, and Ouyang Zhenhua had no choice but to learn that he was going to visit the place he was privately asking Samidov and others to be cautious and check the place in advance.
When the waiter who gave the advice came again, Chen Kangjie was surprised to invite him to go on an outing together tomorrow.
"I, invite me to go on an outing with you." The waiter pointed at his nose and asked. He just came out of the enthusiasm of the Swedes, but he didn't expect that the other party was more enthusiastic than him and was not polite.
"Yes, we just came here and are not familiar with this place. The suggestions you made are very good, so I immediately thought of you, what do you think of?" Chen Kangjie said very directly.
"Well,, like that, wait a moment, I'll go and talk to the manager to see if I can ask for leave tomorrow."
The waiter came back with a smile not long after he went there, "No problem, I have already asked for leave tomorrow. I will take you to boat and fish on the lake in the suburbs, and the fish you catch will be barbecued."
The next day, everyone made an appointment to meet at the restaurant. The male waiter drove his own Renault sedan, but there were no one in one car to ride so many people. The male waiter called and called two taxis from the taxi rental company. From beginning to end, he did not mention the word "money" to each other.
In the valley more than 30 kilometers away from the city, there are green mountains and green lakes. There are a small wooden house by the lake where there are boats and fishing gear for rent. There are not many tourists today. Chen Kangjie and his team rented two boats and several sets of fishing gear for 540 Swedish kroner, and lived a leisurely pastoral life.
