Chapter 521: The Appearance of Old Shanghai
Talked a little bit at the airport.
and Mayor Song agreed to go to the Peace Hotel for dinner in the evening, and the old man put forward the idea of wanting to go shopping in Shanghai.
Naturally, others would not object, so the mayor left a secretary and some policemen and left with the others.
Anthony found a few Mercedes-Benz S600s, two years ago, Ferrari sold its first sports car in Yanjing, and there is no place to rent a car.
In 1994, the planned economy had just changed to a market economy, and materials were not yet abundant in later generations.
Merchants who came to Shanghai to buy things and sell them were everywhere, even the top of the car was full of pockets, and the street was a busy scene.
The fashionable woman wears black silk and shiveres from the cold in this winter.
The men and women from the small city thought that she must be a vixen, but their eyes were firmly fixed on her legs.
Young men are popular to wear "prince pants", which are pants made of a kind of flowing fabric, with fat buttocks, small trouser legs, and N pleats on the waist, and the fabric is full of bells and whistles.
Floating and fluttering in the north wind, wearing oversized toad glasses, I always feel that my belt is not tightened, and my pants are about to fall off, but I still have a more fashionable and arrogant expression than others.
In the car, Han Xuan endured it, and his stomach was about to hurt from laughter.
On both sides of the road are mostly low-rise two-storey old buildings, where construction is underway to build commercial housing, and now it is still the era of welfare housing, these new houses belong to state-owned enterprises and the government, and others cannot buy them with money.
Shoe repair shops, yellow croaker carts, tricycles selling lunch boxes, and tea stalls are placed on the side of the street, and the shopkeepers shout loudly to attract customers.
There are not many cars on the road, and the most mainstream is the 28-bar bicycle, which can be hundreds of meters long at some parking spots.
In the loudspeaker of the store, Liu Deye's "Forget Love Water" is played, and the other is the Hokkien song "Love Fights to Win", the voices are mixed together, and a ghost cries wolf.
There are people everywhere, getting together to bargain, and the most seen action is to take out money.
Pedestrians queue up for taxis, semi-mandatory, because there are iron bars on both sides, which can only accommodate one person to stand, so the queue is extraordinarily neat.
The blackboard on the side of the road reads, "The 6th Far East and South Pacific Regional Games for the Disabled was successfully held in Yanjing!"
Create a better future and do a good job in the Southern Games!"
The old man of the public security joint defense team wearing a red armband stopped to educate the small vendors, looked at the luxury convoy, and shouted: "Let the people on the side of the road let go, whose children are running on the road!"
What about the parents!?Take them all home!"
Maybe this is the prototype of chengguan.
Before everything looked at the money, the alley was very lively in the evening, two or three families gathered for dinner, and many uncles and aunts met to chat.
On the bamboo pole between the two buildings, a lot of clothes were dried, and they were swayed back and forth by the wind.
This is the real Shanghai market in the early nineties.
An ancient city, but rejuvenating.
Not far away, you can see a newly built building, more than ten or twenty floors, not high, but there are a lot of them.
Because there were police officers in front of the road, the chaotic traffic did not affect the convoy behind.
The car was quiet, two old men and a boy, all looking out the window, each feeling the city.
Shanghai has an urban culture that has been handed down since the beginning of the 20th century.
In a few years, when strangers arrive, they can only see the prosperity of the city and be shocked by it.
I can feel the temptation of Shanghai's extravagance, but I can't feel the connotation of staying in the city from generation to generation, and it can be seen from their smiling faces today that life is happy.
When Han Xuan saw familiar things such as sugar gourds and sugar people, he felt a sense of intimacy, and couldn't help laughing.
Waiting for the bus to drive in the direction of the city center, the impact of reform and opening up in recent years has become more obvious.
A large area of old buildings has been demolished, shopping malls, squares, hotels have been built, and on Huaihai Road, tram No. 26 is dripping, and the door of the Goubuli bun shop is full of water vapor, and the shopkeeper inside is almost invisible.
A young countryman riding a Phoenix bicycle, with a large package on the saddle, came here for a walk-and-go trip, pursuing poetry and distance, and feeling the prosperity of the big city.
When he saw Han Xuan's convoy, he muttered to himself: "He can take his place, and the eldest husband should be like this." ”
After getting out of the car and locking it, he took out a small amount of change from his pocket and walked into KFC nervously, planning to eat Western food......
International Architecture Expo.
It's still the Bund, but it's a little different.
At least the trams in front of the door are the ones that Han Xuan had not seen when he came to Shanghai before, the observation deck near the Huangpu River has not been repaired, and the construction equipment is stacked by the river, which looks a little messy.
It is estimated that the buildings that were going to be bought have not been repaired since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and their appearance is black.
Probably back then, Westerners regarded Huaxia as a thing in their pockets, and they were very careful when they built these buildings, and the buildings that have been built for nearly a hundred years are still very strong.
If you look at them closely, you can feel the prosperity of old Shanghai in the twenties and thirties.
Looking at Lujiazui in the future, it is like watching Manhattan, New York.
Now there is only one Oriental Pearl TV Tower, and some low-rise factories, some of which have been sold, but no one has started to build skyscrapers yet.
The convoy drove to the Asia Building at the far edge of the Bund, and when the car stopped, the bodyguards came to open the door, which attracted the attention of many tourists.
Some foreigners found Han Xuan and the old man and immediately exclaimed!
The Chinese people who recognized them also called their names in shock, and when they heard their unknown companions ask who it was, they explained excitedly!
Policemen in green police uniforms and thick white belts around their waists hurriedly erected a human wall to stop tourists from approaching.
Old Man Han smiled and waved his arm, took Han Xuan's hand, and looked at Building No. 1.
The Asian Building, which has both classical and neoclassical styles, covers an area of more than 1,700 square meters and has a total of 7 floors, which is more expensive than the building in Ginza, Japan, and the price is obviously inflated.
There are three institutions in it, namely the Metallurgical Design Institute, the Real Estate Management Bureau, and the Silk Company, and the city government is planning to replace a number of Bund houses, and these institutions are going to move to other places, so they want to sell.
The HSBC Building No. 12 is also seven storeys high, covering an area of 14 acres, and is the size of five Asian buildings.
When Old Man Han saw this building, he remembered the previous price again, and asked Xiao Wang, the secretary sent by Mayor Song, with a strange face:
"It's a bit inappropriate to sell for 1.5 billion yuan for such a big one, and for 900 million yuan for the No. 1 Asia Building, right?"
"Hmm"
The secretary surnamed Wang looked at the two buildings and also found that something was wrong, and secretly scolded the person who set the price must have pat his brain to guess the price, thinking that the first floor of the Bund was worth it.
He smiled: "I'll go back and tell the mayor that the price of the Asia Building will be renegotiated."
But Building 12 has always been at this price, not much different, a few years ago HSBC wanted to buy this building back, the price was not negotiated"
When I saw the seventeenth word Linxi newspaper building, the area was even smaller, although there were ten floors, but each floor covered an area of more than 1,000 square meters.
This time there was no need to remind, Xiao Wang hurriedly said: "This building is also repriced." ”
Han Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed to Lujiazui on the other side of the Huangpu River, "Mr. Wang, please help me ask how much the land over there is now per mu."
I want to buy a piece of land over there to build a building, and the area should be a little bigger. ”
"How much?"
"300 acres, more is fine. ”
"I'll have a block too. ”
"And me. ”
Hearing these three people speak one after another, Xiao Wang's heart trembled, remembering that the newspaper said that Old Man Han was going to build the world's tallest building in New York, and said: "How tall do you want to build a building, and you need so much land?"
There is a commercial planning area over there, and there are requirements for land area, and the construction of the land must start within five years after buying the land."
Han Xuan has never heard of this news, probably because the government does not build buildings in order to prevent others from hoarding land, everyone knows that Lujiazui is now classified as a key development zone, and the land will definitely appreciate in the future (to be continued). )
