The South Railway Station, which is a little less coquettish than the North Beijing Railway Station and the West Railway Station, is undoubtedly the hub of China's high-speed railway, from which more than 100,000 people travel every day to all parts of the country.

The delegation led by Yang Chen and more than 30 Indian media reporters poured out of the waiting hall across more than a dozen platforms, and when they descended the escalator to the platform, they could feel the spectacle of bullet trains waiting to depart.

"So handsome!"

"The high-speed rail is great!"

The blacks in the mission were full of praise.

The Indian reporters tried their best to restrain their inner shock, not wanting to show the slightest hint, some still pretended to be disdainful, and said to their companions: "This is for foreigners, their ordinary trains are far behind us, a friend of mine sat ten years ago, the carriage has no windows, no seats, only two doors, when these two doors are closed, the carriage is stinky, crowded, dark, like a prison." ”

The other nodded thoughtfully: "A country that is unrealistic and loves face, this country, without a single friend, makes enemies everywhere, encroaches on the land and seas of other countries, and invades our Arunasserr State dozens of times last year, rude and arrogant. ”

"No, you're wrong, this country has two friends, one is Pakistan, which exports terrorism to the world, and the other is North Korea, a rogue state, to borrow their words to describe things as groups of people and like like to gather."

"Well said!"

The two chatted as they walked, smiling proudly.

Yang Chen heard it clearly, disdainful of the slander and prejudice of these two people, and even hoped that India would be full of people who sat in the well and watched the sky.

If you don't know the strength of your opponent, you won't have a sense of crisis.

Neighbors who lack a sense of crisis and are complacent will not succeed and are in the strategic interests of the republic.

Yang Chen led the mission to pedal the car, the first-class carriages, with four seats in each row, were much more comfortable than the economy class of the plane, and the carriages were clean and tidy with a modern atmosphere.

The two teams were all accompanied by people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Arctic Fox team did not follow Yang Chen, but flew to Shanghai first, cooperating with Yang Chen's recent large number of people scattered in Shanghai to find clues about Nalan Tongtong.

Yang Chen stared out of the car window, thinking about Nalan Tongtong, and secretly vowed to find Xiao Nizi this time and let her know how important she was to him.

The train started slowly, and after leaving the station, the speed became faster and faster, and finally stabilized at between 25 and 300 kilometers per hour.

The controversy between the dragon and the elephant deliberately hyped up by the West has caused them to develop a deformed psychology of comparison, and in addition, nine times out of ten, these reporters have come to China for the first time, with deep-seated prejudices and a sense of superiority over the largest democracy.

When this prejudice is forcibly reversed by reality, when the huge sense of superiority is strongly impacted by the real China, they will definitely feel uncomfortable with their self-righteousness.

Along the high-speed railway, the highways are interspersed, and the village market towns seem unimaginably neat and affluent to these Indian journalists.

The train crossed the Yangtze River and entered the rich Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, the Indian reporters felt the shock more intensely, looking at the scenery outside the car, the expression and eyes were extremely complicated, no one comforted themselves with the face project, as a well-known Indian media person, they have received elite education, have studied abroad, are not fools, what they have seen and heard on this trip, whether it is a face project, they know it.

After nearly five hours, the train entered Shanghai.

Shanghai, the Paris of the East, this metaphor originated from the French Concession of Shanghai during the colonial period, which means that the prosperity of old Shanghai is comparable to that of Paris.

Therefore, in modern history, Shanghai's global popularity is higher than Beijing's.

In the 90s of the last century, the Indian government proposed that Mumbai catch up with Shanghai in 20 years.

This slogan caused an uproar in India and made Indians realize that Shanghai is still brilliant, but the vast majority of Indians can only measure the prosperity of Shanghai by the current situation of Mumbai, just like a beggar who can't eat bran, thinking that the rich eat meat soup and steamed buns every day, but they don't know that there are still three delicacies of seafood and a full banquet of Manchu and Han in the world.

As a result, the Indian reporters who came to the magic capital of Shanghai for the first time were once again stimulated, and the gap between the Shanghai in front of them and the Shanghai they imagined before was so big that they were at a loss.

"Shanghai's infrastructure is just perfect."

"This is not a developing country, this is a developed country!"

"I've been in New York for three years, and it looks like Shanghai is no worse than New York."

On the luxury bus that picked them up, Indian reporters talked about each other, and what surprised them the most was that there were no slums, and any pedestrian on the road could be regarded as well-dressed if they were left in India.

What about beggars? What about the poor?

"I just heard that they don't allow the poor to move freely into the big cities, and they also detain beggars, and they drove 200,000 aborigines to the northwest to resettle in order to build venues for the Beijing Olympics." has been pretending to be disdainful, that buddy is obviously lacking in confidence at this time.

"It's good that they don't have democracy." I don't know who mentioned democracy, the people in the car nodded with relief, and the solemn look faded a little.

Democracy seems to be a good medicine to enhance their self-confidence, but they do not know that democracy must be carried out in an orderly and gradual manner, and the state system and the people's consciousness cannot keep up, and excessive democracy will inevitably bear bitter and evil consequences.

The Westland Mission took another bus, two buses one after the other, from Hongqiao Railway Station to the Bund Peace Hotel, the Peace Hotel, the first modern style building in Shanghai, with a history of more than 100 years, facing the Lujiazui Financial Center in Pudong, with a view of the most spectacular buildings on both sides of the Huangpu River.

Yang Chen led the delegation to get out of the car, looked at the expressions of the Indian reporters, knew that they had seen it all the way, and felt uncomfortable, so he shifted his gaze to look at the skyscrapers on the other side of the Huangpu River, and muttered: "Tongtong, I'm here." ”

………………………

Shanghai World Financial Center.

Next to the flat-roofed skyscraper of the Jin Mao Tower.

With a height of 492 meters, it has become one of Shanghai's landmarks, and the rent of this office-based skyscraper exceeds 20 yuan per square meter per day.

Twenty yuan, not much, according to this price carefully calculated, rent 100 square meters of office, at least 60,000 a month, live here enterprises, most of them thousands of square meters, some rent one or two floors, in addition to rent, but also need to pay a monthly property fee of 60 yuan per square meter, high water and electricity bills.

Small businesses simply can't afford it.

It is a place for the world's top 500 companies to show off their status.

Goldman Sachs' Asian investment department is located here, as the world's top investment bank, even if it is a branch, it is still tall, carefully crafted working environment, countless high-paid white-collar workers dream of, the company's restaurant, even not inferior to the cafeteria of the Park Hyatt Hotel upstairs, swipe the staff card to enter.

Western-style buffet, not many types, but exquisitely made, each employee can enjoy free Häagen-Dazs ice cream, elite men and women in professional attire elegantly pick up or dine, and talk quietly.

"Ahh

The sound of sneezing suddenly came from the chic sofa booth in the corner of the restaurant, which immediately touched the hearts of the nearby men, and they all cast concerned eyes.

The sneezing girl slowly raised her head, showing her beautiful and delicate face to everyone, and smiled quite awkwardly, slandering the villain behind her back.
