Chapter 371 Emma
Three days later, newspapers and New Town TV both reported the news of the exhibition.
However, what puzzled everyone was that despite such massive publicity, not a single word was said about the identity of this mysterious painter.
However, the words used in the promotion: "miraculous craftsmanship", "modern magic brush of Ma Liang" and "miraculous" aroused everyone's strong interest in this exhibition.
After all, the promotion of this exhibition has the strong support of Nanhua officials, and such publicity efforts have undoubtedly brought people extremely high expectations.
Nanhua’s reputation has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has gained the high trust of every citizen.
Not only the residents of Nanhua, but also people in Southeast Asia expressed their desire to go to Nanhua to take a look when they saw such intensive coverage of this mysterious art exhibition on New Town TV.
Although Nan Hua still does not accept other currencies today, due to the large amount of trade between it and the ASEAN member states in Southeast Asia and these countries' urgent need for the new currency, they would rather lower the price of goods and want Nan Hua to pay in new currency.
South China, however, did not reject the request, taking into account future economic and monetary integration plans.
Therefore, in some product transactions this year, the new currency has gradually become a common payment method.
Of course, ASEAN countries will not suffer any loss because the new currencies they hold have strong purchasing power.
Western countries need to pay a considerable price to exchange new currencies from various countries.
The SGD is slowly spreading beyond South China. ASEAN countries are benefiting from SGD transactions, and other places are also using the SGD received to buy more high-tech products produced in South China.
Those who exchanged currency on the black market suffered huge losses this year.
It is just called a black market. In fact, Nanhua does not care about their transactions at all, but it does enforce public security very strictly.
People who do foreign exchange business in Nanhua can only admit their losses even if they are angry, and dare not have any extra thoughts.
Nanhua's heavy prison was notorious, and the conditions of those imprisoned there had long been known.
It's okay when you've just been there, but after being there for a long time, you really feel like a fool, and your reactions seem to be slow when you meet your family members.
But the people inside should be living a good life. After all, although these people don't look mentally normal, they have gained a lot of weight.
Few people come to exchange Nanhua's new currency for gold directly. After all, according to Nanhua's exchange method, it is not cost-effective, because the purchasing power of the new currency is very strong, and it is more cost-effective to spend the new currency directly than to exchange it for gold.
Nowadays, the exchange rate of Singapore dollars to US dollars in the market has gradually fallen to 1:1. Although it is still far higher than the official exchange rate of New Town, the market has already recognized this exchange value.
Unless South China continues to inject large amounts of currency into the outside world, the exchange rate may tend to be consistent with the official exchange rate.
Nowadays, it is easier for people from abroad to exchange new currency when they come to Nanhua than before.
Because of the publicity for this exhibition, it was also reprinted in French newspapers.
"Emma, look at this, do you want to go out for a walk? Stop drawing in the house every day." Garfiel said to his sister.
Emma’s skin has become pale due to not seeing the sun every day, and her Chinese-French mixed-race face looks even more fragile.
She curiously took the newspaper handed to her by her brother and her eyes fell on the report about the first art exhibition held in the new city.
"Who drew this?" Emma asked curiously with her eyes wide open.
Garfiel shook his head, spread his hands, shrugged, and replied: "I don't know. I have checked, but I didn't find any relevant information. However, this exhibition is heavily promoted by the Nanhua government, so it must be unique."
Hearing this, Emma nodded in agreement and agreed to go and take a look. Her curiosity was aroused, and she wanted to see what kind of painting was worthy of such publicity by a country.
"Haha, then I'll go buy the boat ticket! I've checked the time. Let's take a boat to Nanhua for some fun and then go to attend the opening ceremony of the art exhibition. Besides, everyone in Nanhua speaks Chinese, so we don't have to worry about the language barrier when we go there." Garfield said excitedly.
"Are we going alone?" Emma asked softly, looking at her brother.
Garfiel sighed helplessly and explained, "That should be the case. You know how busy mom and dad are. I'll ask them later."
Their grandfather was a Chinese laborer during World War I, who later stayed in France and married a French girl.
Thanks to my grandfather’s teaching, the whole family learned Chinese and speaks it quite fluently.
Precisely for this reason, he has always been yearning for Nanhua, a country founded by the Chinese, and has long wanted to visit it.
This art exhibition just happened to provide an opportunity, so he decided to take his sister, who never went out except for classes, with him so that she could relax.
Garfiel's idea was not wrong. As he expected, his parents were too busy with work to take time out to accompany them.
My father is a lawyer and my mother is a university teacher. They are both extremely busy at work, so if we want to travel as a family, we have to make detailed plans and arrangements in advance.
Therefore, faced with such short notice, they are unlikely to be able to spend time with their children.
Despite this, Garfiel felt very happy because although his parents could not go with him, they still gave him a considerable amount of financial support so that he and his sister could enjoy the journey to the fullest.
Afterwards, they went to the South China Embassy in France to complete visa procedures.
Due to the good relations between Nanhua and France, their visa application went smoothly and was approved quickly.
Of course, the fact that their family belongs to the middle class is also one of the reasons for the quick approval.
Then they bought two tickets to Nanhua. Garfiel chose the middle-class cabin. Originally, he preferred to buy the upper-class cabin, but recently due to the publicity of the art exhibition, the number of people going to Nanhua has increased a lot, but the number of ships going to Nanhua has not increased, resulting in the upper-class cabin being sold out and unable to buy one even if he wanted to.
They didn't feel bored on the boat because many people went there for the art exhibition, so everyone had common topics to talk about.
Emma met many girls who loved painting on the ship. They discussed painting techniques and artistic concepts together and shared each other's works and experiences.
And Rafael also met these girls through his sister.
"Look at you, you bring so many things with you when you go out to play, and I have to carry them all." Raphael complained dissatisfiedly. As he spoke, he walked in front, carrying two large boxes in his hands.
Emma followed behind with a small bag in her hand, grinning silently. She knew her brother was just talking and didn't really care.
