Move

"Yes...?" After years of his experience in business, K knew immediately that the other side of the table has an agenda.

"You know, at this moment, a tourist to the Earth has to travel quite a bit from one attraction to another - the Eiffel Tower, the Buckingham Palace, the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Great Wall, and all these. It doesn't really make a good use of their time."

"And your suggestion is...?"

"We should move all of them to one place and form a Center or Institute for Sightseeing."

"Alas, that sounds a good idea," K nodded. He had to agree the alien did make a good point. Nonetheless, he remained worried, "Sir, is that really possible for all the attractions? I suppose the Golden Gate Bridge is nothing more than a construction of steel and cement if there is no vehicle on it, and the Buckingham Palace would lose its meaning if the Queen doesn't live there."

"Why? That's should work. There are similar institutes in Bootes, Ursa, Lupus, Lyra, Serpens, Hercules, Indus, Taurus, and many other constellations, and many are immensely successful."

K was dumbfounded.
