Duan Yu felt that the taxi driver was getting more and more interesting, the new urban area of Huosir City was called a 'ghost town' by the outside world, he seemed to be more anxious than the mayor, if the citizens of Huosr City could have such a sense of crisis and mission, why should Huosir City not be able to develop, he deliberately looked at the supervision sign placed in front of the passenger seat, which marked the name of the taxi driver and the taxi company to which he belonged, the taxi driver's name was Wang Xinyuan, Duan Yu secretly wrote down the name.

"Master Wang, then let's go to Kangbala New Town and have a look," Duan Yu thought for a while.

"Okay!" Wang Xinyuan happily hit the steering wheel, it seems that he is lucky today, this trip down, he can earn hundreds of yuan, so Wang Xinyuan introduced it even harder, "Boss, our Kangbala New Town is beautiful, there are the world's largest sculpture groups, the world's largest square, as well as our museums, grand theaters, and international convention and exhibition centers in Huosir City, which are quite majestic and magnificent, compared to the Bird's Nest and Water Cube in the capital, it is not bad at all, you can see that I am not bragging."

"Now that the office buildings and schools of our city government and many government departments have moved to the new city of Khambala, how can it be a 'ghost town', aren't those reporters?!".

Duan Yu and they came to the new town of Kangbala, the new city is more modern than the old city, high-rise buildings, spacious streets, perfect road facilities, asphalt pavement, the only fly in the ointment is that there are not many pedestrians and vehicles on the street, to Duan Yu feels a bit like a movie set with a film crew, the occasional pedestrian, looks like a hallucination, dragging heavy footsteps along the sidewalk, as if a lonely survivor after the catastrophe in a horror movie, this is still daylight, if you walk on this street at night, I am afraid that it is indeed a little scary, no wonder it will be called by foreign mediaWhat about "ghost towns".

Wang Xinyuan also explained a little embarrassed: "It's work time, so there are indeed a little fewer people on the street, and there are more people waiting for work, and our Mombasai Province is sparsely populated, except for the provincial capital Hushao City and the old heavy industry city Baotie City, you can't see anyone on the street in other cities in this season."

Duan Yu smiled and didn't speak, Wang Xinyuan's explanation sounded reasonable, but it was actually a bit far-fetched, in addition to the reason for the real estate bubble, it was also related to the city's initial planning and design being too advanced and too optimistic about the city's development prospects, according to the information Duan Yu learned on the Internet, the original planning of the Kangbala New City was designed for one million people, but now there are only 78,000 people living in the Kangbala New Town, plus the floating population is only 100,000, so even if the Huosir Municipal Government comes up with a way to relocate the government office building to the Kangbala New Town, it cannot fundamentally solve this problem.

Finally, Duan Yu and they took a taxi to the central square of Kangbala New Town, which is the largest central square in the world, the length of the square from north to south is 3.8 kilometers, larger than Tiananmen Square, divided into two large squares in the north and south and three parts of the green square in the middle, the northern square is Genghis Khan Square, and the southern square is Tongding Square. Viewed from the air, it looks like a huge dumbbell, which is indeed very magnificent.

From a distance, he saw two tall bronze horse sculptures set up in front of the square, Wang Xinyuan said proudly: "Boss, how about it, I didn't lie to you, this square is imposing enough."

Duan Yu nodded with a smile, the momentum of this central square is enough, but the disadvantage is that it is still unpopular, and it is frighteningly empty, Wang Xinyuan hurriedly explained: "In the evening, there will be more people here, and there will be a lot of old ladies coming to dance the square dance, but it will be lively."

Since he was here, of course Duan Yu wanted to come down and take a look, he looked at the meter, it showed 256 yuan, he took out three hundred yuan and handed it over, "Master Wang, thank you for your hard work, you don't need to look for more money, you introduce me along the way, even if it's a tour guide fee!"

Wang Xinyuan was a little unhappy, and said with a straight face: "No! We must find money, our men on the grassland are one one, two are two, how can you ask for your tour guide fee to introduce the scenic spots!"

Saying that, he forcibly recovered 44 yuan for Duan Yu, Duan Yu smiled and didn't force it anymore, it seems that the quality of the taxi drivers here is still quite high, if it is another tourist city, the taxi driver is afraid that he will kill you a little more.

Wang Xinyuan looked for the money, looked at his watch again and said, "Boss, if you just turn around casually and don't stay too long, I can wait for you here, it's not easy to take a taxi here."

Duan Yu's impression of Wang Xinyuan is getting better and better, but he didn't come here to take a look, but to take the pulse of this "ghost city" and find a new idea to let Huosir City completely get out of the shadow of the "ghost city", so he naturally wanted to take a closer look, so he waved his hand and said: "Master Wang, thank you, I may have to stay for a while, so I won't trouble you!"

Wang Xinyuan nodded, started the car and prepared to leave, walked a hundred meters and suddenly reversed, and specially told Duan Yu: "Boss, if you stay in a hostel at night, don't come out and walk around, the security here is a little bad at night."

Duan Yu nodded and thanked Wang Xinyuan again, but he didn't take Wang Xinyuan's words too seriously, and it was naturally easy to deal with ordinary gangsters with his and Liu Hansheng's skills. Waiting for Wang Xinyuan to drive away, Duan Yu also began to walk around the square, while Liu Hansheng followed him without saying a word.

Walking on the central square of the city, Duan Yu has a clearer concept of the "big strokes" in the central square, the towering sculpture groups, as well as the museums that have a fight with the Bird's Nest, the Grand Theater, the International Convention and Exhibition Center, and the Culture and Art Center, all of which can be placed in other cities, can be local landmark buildings, which can only be piled up with money!

Especially when he saw the artificial lake next to Tongding Square, Duan Yu frowned, you must know that Mombasaun is not better than other places, the water resources here are very precious, it is not an exaggeration to say that "dripping water is like gold", and the reason why this artificial lake will be built is also a bit absurd, it is said that there is a feng shui gentleman who said that the city government not far away should rely on the mountains and water, and the city government is behind the mountains, so the "backing mountain" has it, but there is a lack of water, which is why there is this artificial lake.

From this point of view, the reason why Kangbala New Town has become a "ghost town" is not only due to the overheating of real estate investment and the flood of real estate bubbles in recent years, but also the ruling ideas of some government officials who are overjoyed and blindly pursue "big money" and "big investment"!

The central square of Kangbala New Town is indeed too big, Duan Yu took more than two hours to see it all the way, and it was not until there were old aunts in the square who came to dance square dances with public amplifiers one after another, that he woke up, it was already evening, and it was time for dinner.

"Brother Hansheng, let's go, let's find a place to eat!I seem to have heard your stomach growl just now" Duan Yu turned his head and smiled at Liu Hansheng, who had been following him closely, Liu Hansheng scratched his head and smiled, he was big, had strong digestion ability, and he was indeed hungry, but he was very fascinated by Duan Yu, and he was embarrassed to say.

However, Duan Yu soon found that it was not easy to find a suitable place to eat here, there was a hot pot city next to the square, and there was a high-end restaurant, but one Duan Yu didn't like to eat hot pot very much, and the other was that he and Liu Hansheng were just two people, and it was not like that to go to a big hotel to eat, it was better to find a smaller restaurant with Mombasai characteristics to eat.

Duan Yu and the two walked several streets without finding a small restaurant, and a few shops with hotel signs were closed, with a note for leasing or transferring the façade, it seems that the tertiary industry here is indeed not very developed, think about it, there is no popularity, how can the tertiary industry develop?

I finally saw a barbecue restaurant that was still open, but the business was really not very good, the door was crowded, and a note of "façade transfer" had been posted on the glass door, and the owner was listlessly leaning against the door and napping.

Seeing Duan Yu and them coming in, the shopkeeper had some spirits, and greeted warmly: "Two bosses, what do you want to eat?", he looked at the luggage in Liu Hansheng's hand, and guessed that Duan Yu was a tourist from other places, his eyes lit up, and he recommended hard: "The two bosses are from other places, we have authentic Mongolian grilled lamb chops and roast lamb legs here, I guarantee that you still want to eat them!"

Duan Yu ordered a roast leg of mutton, two catties of roast lamb chops, and some cold dishes or something, because there were no other customers in the store, so the roast leg of mutton and roast lamb chops came up quickly, Liu Hansheng was indeed very hungry, and he didn't care about being polite with Duan Yu, so he picked up a roast lamb chop and ate it, only to take a bite, he spit it out, frowned and shouted to the shopkeeper: "Boss, your lamb chops are not very fresh!"

Liu Hansheng worked in a barbecue restaurant before he reunited with Duan Yu in Lishan, and he was naturally clear about the cats here, and some unscrupulous shopkeepers would roast some deteriorating mutton to customers for cheapness, because a lot of seasonings had to be added when grilling meat, so ordinary customers couldn't eat it, but since Liu Hansheng did this, whether the meat was new or not was naturally eaten as soon as he ate it.
