Chapter 128: Sniping Dubai
In 98 years of Chinese tourism, there is the concept of inducing tourists to shop by the way, but there is absolutely no concept of "shopping tour".
In the early years, if you want to buy things abroad, it must be a consensus. However, this consensus was based on the pre-1994 context of exchange controls.
At that time, people wanted to go abroad and wanted to exchange dollars privately, but they couldn't exchange them at all. Because 94 years ago, the exchange rate of the renminbi to the outside world was a dual-track system, the official exchange rate was very strong, the black market exchange rate was very low, and the official exchange rate was earned, which was almost a foreign privilege.
So as long as you get the US dollars, people who go abroad will use enough of the weight of their air tickets and carry-on luggage, bring as many instant noodles as possible, and use every penny that the state allows you to exchange at the official rate to purchase high-end imports in foreign countries. It also saves tariffs and the dual-track exchange rate system of exploitation.
From January 1, 94 to January 1, 95, after a one-year transition period, Huaxia's private exchange abroad was finally liberalized. Although there is still a limit, as long as you can get a visa from a foreign embassy or consulate, whether you are going abroad for business or private purposes, the state must give you a fair foreign exchange qualification.
After a very small number of wealthy people's desire to buy was released, foreign travel agencies soon found that only a few Chinese people were super rich to buy and buy, and the rest was basically publicly-funded sightseeing and fun.
In history, the early "Li Matai" fever that began in 98 years, everyone went to eat, drink and have fun, not to buy, these countries are not developed enough, at most Li Jiapo bought a little at this station, and the treatment was similar to that in Xiangjiang.
Chinese people spend money on tourism and shopping, basically at the beginning of the 21st century, after joining the WTO and further relaxing various customs requirements for bringing goods, they began to release from the tour group to this tour.
Since then, Xiangjiang and Yue have become the two major outlets for Chinese people to spray money abroad, Li Jiapo barely touched a little light, as for the south stick has to be forced for a few more years, basically 06/07 years after the beginning of the shopping tour to benefit.
Until 2010, the main ones who brought the goods were a group of fishermen from the Special Economic Zone and Zhuhai City, who took advantage of the several customs clearance opportunities given by the government every day, and each person brought N mobile phones/laptops/MP3 and other electronic products in the name of legal self-use, and the government generally acquiesced.
The authorities gave these fishermen preferential treatment for the number of customs clearances, so that they would cooperate with the fishing moratorium and let the fishing boats sit idle and not go to sea every year. (When I went to Xiangjiang and Ao County 15 years ago, I met a lot of such fishermen, and then I went back after a few years, it was rare, and then the professional purchasing network began to develop)
In a word, at this moment, in front of Gu Kun, there is still a very blue ocean blank market. There is still a good chance to seize the opportunity and seize the mental positioning of the people at any cost.
It's only been 98 years, why is Xiangjiang and this a shopping paradise?
Lan Fang also has the opportunity to snatch the perception that "the price is very expensive, but it is very cost-effective to buy luxury goods there, and what you buy is what you earn, and the more you buy, the more you earn".
……
After all, He Lan and Mr. Yang of CNOOC couldn't understand Gu Kun's pattern.
But their professionalism allows them to be loyal to people and cooperate with Gu Kun when they can't understand customers.
So just a few days later, CNOOC privately informed Gu Kun of the pre-planned fraud plan. Gu Kun saw it and felt that it was feasible, so he asked those geological experts to "deduce the conditions from the conclusion" and add some technical data details.
All in all, it is enough to ensure that the nominal per capita crude oil reserves of the Lantian side in the next few years will far exceed those of Bahrain Kata Kuwait.
During the period of this major event, it was impossible for Gu Kun to be idle in Hujiang, so he took some time to recuperate and go back to his alma mater to see and play with his students. (He is not that kind of person, the school girl mentioned here specifically refers to Lin Ying, who has just been promoted to senior year this year, and condolences to those international students who are also going to be promoted to senior this year.) )
On the one hand, he looked for other design institutes and research institutes, and found a powerful unit to help him design the idea of the project of showing off his wealth that he had been sketching in his heart.
It's still a bit early to mention construction, because he doesn't have much cash on hand, and the tens of billions of dollars in the stock market are only planned to be withdrawn by the middle of next year, and Internet stocks will be delayed until the end of next year.
Therefore, if he really wants to build some world-class landmarks that attract global attention, Gu Kun can't afford to burn it for the time being, and he can't turn it over.
Fortunately, it is normal for this kind of particularly major project to take a year or two for design and survey. Gu Kun can pay the design fee with real money first.
To take the simplest example, the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building in Dubai, cost $1.5 billion and has a total height of 828 meters. Gu Kun is now building several years ahead of schedule, and the technology is not mature, and the cost may be a little more expensive to achieve the same indicators.
If Gu Kun wants to take out so much money immediately, the full amount may have to wait for the stock to be sold for another month, or delay the complete repayment of the loan. However, the design fee generally does not exceed one-eighth to one-twelfth of the project cost (according to the size of the design office, the asking price fluctuation range is relatively large)
Therefore, it is still very easy to ask Gu Kun to pay a design fee of 100 million US dollars first.
In addition to robbing the Burj Khalifa, the Burj Al Arab Hotel, Palm Island on Galloping Horse Reef, there are many projects that Gu Kun can grab.
Historically, this kind of super project must have to be carried out by the top design institute in Oceania, but since Gu Kun has an idea in his heart, it is also feasible to find Tongji Architectural Design and Research Institute to do it.
When he was in Jiaohai Academy Design Institute, he was very familiar with Tongji people, and Tongji Department was also the second strongest civil engineering university in China, except for Tsinghua University.
In later generations, the tallest of the three high-rise buildings in Hujiang and the other one, the final construction and landing plan were also done by the Tongji Department, which were also more than 600 meters and at least more than 500 meters high-rise buildings, and the difficulties such as modeling and wind resistance were also very difficult, and the Tongji people could gnaw them down, so Gu Kun could believe in their strength.
At the end of the 90s, Oceania and Yueben were indeed much more developed than China, but the degree of leadership in each subdivision was different.
On the issue of infrastructure madness, there is no need for Chinese people to feel inferior, and there is no need to feel that they can't raise their heads and are not luxurious enough to invite their own design institutes. Many projects do not work well, and it is a matter of budget.
If you are willing to spend as much money as you find the Oceania Design Institute, and don't care about the construction budget, the civil engineering maniac of the Tongji Research Institute can fix it out for you.
……
Friday, October 23rd.
Gu Kun asked the driver to drive his old Lincoln with an old number plate to run to his alma mater and China Normal University and Shanghai Waiwai, which were not far from his alma mater.
Lin Ying and the others were careful in advance, knowing that Gu Kun was coming, and they were looking forward to it.
The car drove slowly and quietly all the way around the campus, and there was no intention of speeding arrogantly. It's a pity that the girls in these schools have long remembered this sign, which is more eye-catching than fireflies in the night.
"It's really hateful, I know that playing with foreign girls often plagues new girls. Many girls who boast of their beauty do not envy and admire, but after a trace of subconscious saliva flashed in their eyes, they turned into jealousy again.
Gu Kun's casualness and harshness on the issue of women have been spreading in the circle of high-end female college students in Hujiang for several years. However, his reputation for respecting the Chinese and only enslaving foreign girls is as notorious as his lust.
Who made him a top world superstar and the person who broke the most world records two years ago, and his appeal among young people is not just based on wealth. It is only in the last year and a half, in order to fight against international financial funds, that everyone has slightly forgotten some of Gu Kun's other aspects of the character.
The car stopped downstairs in Lin Ying's dormitory, and Lin Ying immediately greeted her with a few carefully selected beauties.
"Husband, I miss you to death. I'm a senior in college, take me back to Lanfang for an internship. Oh, and also, you asked Sister Midlova to inform me of the people I brought, I brought them, you won't be the one you want to ...... today."
Gu Kun folded his hands on the knees of Erlang's legs, and beat gently and innocently: "Not today, but in the future, you have to learn to adapt to my new personality - from now on, the public image I give people is the kind of oil tyrant who sprinkles money on the heads of foreign girls in the top private box of a bar and nightclub KTV and lets them bathe with money."
Today is just a warm-up, taking a few girls to swagger around the city to negotiate with people from the design institute - I believe that if I put on the same posture as the people in the Middle East, they will better understand my needs. ”
Lin Ying's only few careful thoughts also disappeared, and she suddenly smiled heartlessly: "That's good, it's nothing." You guys don't get in the car yet. ”
The executive Lincoln was spacious, and despite the large number of seats, everyone chose to seat four people in one row and leave the other two rows empty.
Lin Ying sat on Gu Kun's right hand, and it was convenient to get out of the car when the time came, while Shalanova and Anastasia, who were the most outstanding among the hairy girls she found, sat on Gu Kun's left.
When Gu Kun hugged him left and right, he could feel Shalanova tremble slightly, but quickly controlled it after a few deep breaths.
Gu Kun felt it for a moment and criticized: "How many of you are dressed so shabby?" Forget it, when you go to the place in a while, you will change your outfit and jewelry first, don't embarrass me." Recently, Xiangjiang has fallen a few luxury giants, and many of my friends have gone to the judicial auction to buy a lot of jewelry. You pick first, and only give a few of them the rest, Lin Ying, you check it. ”
It turned out that Gu Kun came to more than one car, there were other cars behind him, and he picked up another batch of senior hairy girls, and he was going to have a drinking party with the people of the design institute tonight.
Gu Kun just picked out the most beautiful to accompany himself, and of course the others casually accompanied the supplier to have a drink, but it was just a drink. And these hairy international students on the periphery, of course, are not worthy of Gu Kun's distribution of the top jewelry to work, so he asked Lin Ying to help him check it. No matter how much money he has, he can't give it to those passers-by and female students.
These suppliers are not worth Gu Kun to send women, and drinking with them is just to let them understand Gu Kun's needs and style.
To design Lao Tzu in the style of the most local tyrant and local tyrant in a big dog family!
If it's not the first in the world, it doesn't make sense.
In the evening, in the Gu family riverview villa near the Oriental Pearl, the leaders of Jiaohai Courtyard and Tongji Construction Institute arrived, and they felt quite shocked just by taking a look at Gu Kun's pomp, and they didn't know what big news Gu Kun was going to do.

PS: It's already 3,000 words, and I'll say a few words about answering questions without money.
Because the chapter a few days ago involved legal principles, many people chased me privately and asked if they had watched some Internet celebrities' lectures to plagiarize their ideas and learn and sell them. I hadn't heard of that name, and I made a special Baidu to find out who it was.
I just want to say, please have a little common sense, I am in my 30s, I studied the Fa at least ten years ago, and when my generation was studying, even if I listened to lectures, I listened to the generation of Korean friendship.
The teacher you are mentioning now, the era when he taught, the era when I studied, was not a generation.
Of course, I'm definitely not judging who is good or bad at a lecture, because I said I haven't heard it, and I definitely won't evaluate it.
As for why some people think that the style of legal analysis is similar, then I can only say that the law is stable, especially the analysis at the level of jurisprudence, many of which are truths that have not changed for decades, and this should be the same conclusion and analysis process told by different teachers, is it strange?
It would be strange if different teachers taught different laws.
Therefore, in the field of jurisprudence, the level of the teacher is only reflected in whether it is funny and easy to understand, what the threshold is, and whether it can be understood by an audience with a less professional foundation and a worse foundation. If the students themselves are of good quality, they will not pick the teacher.
Maybe the post-00s students are more dyslexic than before, and they need to be more funny to make them concentrate. Our post-80s generation should have stronger willpower than current students when we study, and we can concentrate without being funny by teachers.
The people of Khan Academy have long discovered this, and it should be blamed on the fragmentation of attention brought about by the mobile Internet.
