"Director Li, let's take our car and go."

Bi Xiaolong was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly pointed to the Red Star Crown 280 left over there. Several other cars have already driven away.

"Oh, that's your car." Li Lu nodded slightly, "Okay, then bother." ”

"No, no, Director Li, you come to Shanghai, I, as the host, should be received, don't be too polite." Bi Xiaolong hurriedly wanted to help Li Lu with his luggage, but when he insisted on picking it up, he was almost flashed by accident, "It's so heavy!" ”

Suddenly, he saw Li Lu and the others smiling, and suddenly remembered the incident in Wuhan, and said with a slightly wry smile, "Director Li, it won't be cash again." ”

"Hehe, we're rough people." Li Lu said with a smile.

If Bi Xiaolong knew the word "local tyrant", he would naturally spit it out, and at this time, he would only sigh at the thickness of Li Lu's net worth and the roughness of his style. No one would carry so much cash with them, and there is still such a long way to go. Two canvas bags of this size were filled with cash, dead and dead.

Bi Xiaolong didn't dare to move, so he let Li Lu carry it himself.

Huang Guanghui cheered up and hurriedly came over to take the canvas bag.

The group walked to the car.

Li Lu said with a smile, "Your treatment is good, you are all equipped with luxury cars." ”

"Of course not." Bi Xiaolong explained, "This is the hotel's reception car, which is specially used to receive leaders and foreign guests. I'm an administrative manager, and I have a lot of bosses above me, so where can I be qualified to match this car. ”

Li Lu was quite surprised, "Your Chairman Lu is very courageous." ”

Sighing slightly, Bi Xiaolong said, "Actually, there is no way to do it." The Bund Hotel is designated as a foreign-related hotel by the municipal government, and is responsible for the reception of foreign guests. There are few good cars, which will damage Shanghai's face and even affect the country's external image. I heard that this car is very expensive, more than 600,000 yuan. ”

Li Lu was slightly stunned, and Zhang Weiwei almost couldn't help talking.

The external price of the Red Star Factory is 350,000 yuan, that is to say, the gross profit of the second dealer is almost the same as the price of the car. Take 10,000 steps back and say, after deducting the various costs of transportation fees and something, the second-road dealers will earn at least 200,000 yuan per car!

All of a sudden, Li Lu's problem of picking out the search was committed, and he really wanted to take out the upside-down Erdao dealer and suddenly burst out of him-dog-day-!

Isn't this just another markup!

As an automaker, you have to crack down hard, or do your own sales.

"Director Li?" Bi Xiaolong opened the door of the right rear seat and called Li Lu in a daze.

Li Lu came back to his senses, "Oh, okay, get in the car." ”

As he spoke, he got into the car.

Zhang Weiwei and Huang Guanghui put their luggage in the trunk, and the rear suspension of the Red Star Crown 280 went down by one centimeter at once, and when they got into the car and sat down, the front and rear suspension sank a few centimeters.

"Back to the hotel."

Bi Xiaolong sat in the co-pilot, came back to his senses and said to Li Lu, "Director Li, let's stay in our hotel, the transportation is more convenient, and it is easy to do things." ”

He is hinting to Li Lu that living in the Bund Hotel is first of all a status symbol, and doing things is twice the result with half the effort, especially when talking about business.

"Okay, no problem. I remember that your hotel is on the Bund and has a view of the river. Li Lu said with a smile.

Bi Xiaolong was stunned, "Have you been here?" ”

"Oh, from the pictorial." Li Lu hurriedly rescued him, and almost said that he had missed his mouth.

"Yes, the location is very good, the environment is also good, better than the Hankou Hotel." Bi Xiaolong said with a smile.

The Red Star Crown 280 started steadily, the driver was wearing white gloves, the car drove very steadily, and he was not worried about overturning at all, and even Huang Guanghui couldn't feel fainting. This car was originally aimed at the business market, focusing on comfort, stability and generosity, and the rearview mirrors on both sides of the engine cover added a touch of dignity.

Choosing this car as the car for the reception of foreign guests, Li Lu could even guess that eighty percent of it was personally selected by Lu Huiguan. Lu Huiguan is an overseas Chinese in Malaysia, whose ancestral home is Chaoshan, and a few years ago, he responded to the call to return to his motherland to invest and do business, and his business became bigger and bigger.

Take Hongqiao Road, pass through Jiaotong University, Library, South Shaanxi Road, Huaihai Middle Road, and enter Yan'an East Road, so you can see the iconic scene - the Bund is 1.5 kilometers long.

Before 1995, Shanghai's landmark remained unchanged – the Bund. As soon as that panorama appeared, everyone knew which city it represented.

Zhang Weiwei and Huang Guanghui's eyes have long been insufficient. Huang Guanghui Needless to say, Zhang Weiwei has seen the cityscape of Wuhan, but compared with Shanghai, there is still an obvious gap. Compared with the relatively uniform architectural style of Greater Wuhan, the buildings in downtown Shanghai are almost all-encompassing.

“…… The Bund is home to almost all the world's architectural styles, and it is said that there are 52 buildings of different styles, which are not only the landmark buildings of Shanghai, but also the historical portrayal of the city. During the Republican period, it belonged to the public concession, so such a variety of architectural styles were formed. ”

Bi Xiaolong acted as a tour guide and explained along the way. Zhang Weiwei and Huang Guanghui couldn't hear it, they only felt that there was a mess of flowers in front of them, while Li Lu looked at Shanghai in the 80s with interest.

Heavy, vicissitudes, and even a hint of gloom, but this is still one of the most dynamic cities in China at the moment. As far as the eye can see, the city is full of economic dynamism, just waiting for an opportunity to activate.

The famous Chen Yi Square is in front, look to the right, start from No. 1 to the front, No. 1 Asia Building, the so-called tallest building on the Bund, followed by the Shanghai General Assembly, the United Building, the former Nissin Company Building, the former Commerce Bank Building, the Great Northern Telegraph Company Building, and the China Merchants General Administration Building.

Bi Xiaolong pointed to the high-rise building near the China Merchants Administration Building, which had the words "Bund Hotel" hanging in big letters, and said, "That's it, that's our hotel." Director Li, you see, it turned out to be the building of a small Japanese company, which was returned to the state after liberation and set up a state-run hotel. The business is not very good, Chairman Lu bought it half a year ago, and now it is mainly to receive foreign guests and foreign businessmen from other places, and the business is okay. ”

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with his current position, and it is clear that business in Shanghai is far better than in Wuhan. The city has been an international metropolis for decades and is the only city on the mainland that can compete with Hong Kong.

Coincidentally, Zhang Weiwei asked, "Manager Bi, how is Hong Kong, is Shanghai so modern?" ”

The construction of the four modernizations, modernization represents development.

Bi Xiaolong said with a smile, "There is still a bit of a gap, and this three words are really not clear." ”

Li Lu looked back from the window and said, "Hong Kong is a small place. In terms of economic volume alone, it has surpassed Hong Kong for 20 years. ”

"Director Li, I'm afraid it won't work in twenty years." Bi Xiaolong shook his head with a smile, "Although I don't know the situation of the dry port, it will not be more developed than Shanghai." Some experts have predicted that it will take at least 50 years for Shanghai to catch up with Hong Kong. ”

He did not exaggerate, and even such a forecast was quite well-founded. In another time and space, Shanghai's economic aggregate will not surpass Hong Kong until the end of the second decade of the 21 st century. If it is calculated according to per capita income, I am afraid that the gap will be even greater.

But at this time and at that time, and Li Lu looked at it from the perspective of those who came over, the conclusions were naturally inconsistent.

Moreover, the world is already undergoing profound changes.

"Director Li, it's here."

Red Star Crown 280 stopped in front of the lobby in front of the door, Bi Xiaolong hurriedly got out of the car to open the door, but Li Lu had already pushed the door and got out of the car by himself, he didn't have that problem. In fact, there is not much space here, and where every inch of land is valuable, a parking space is a luxury, of course, it is not as scarce as in the future.

Li Lu said, "Manager Bi, since there are foreign guests coming, you go and do your job, I can handle it here." ”

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for you to stay first, the chairman of the board of directors will receive the foreign guests, I'm just a miscellaneous person, hehe." Bi Xiaolong said with a smile.

That being said, he, the administrative manager, is not there, and he can't find someone to do things, so that's not okay.

Li Lu was naturally a doorman, he waved his hand and said, "You go and get busy with yours, let's have a good chat when we are free." ”

"In that case, Director Li, you wait a moment."

Bi Xiaolong hurriedly trotted in and asked the doorman to come over to help with the luggage, and then walked quickly to the front desk, and directly opened a business suite with his authority, and there was no need to register for formalities or anything. Within two minutes, he hurriedly walked over with the key, greeted Li Lu who walked in, and said, "Director Li, this is the room key." The Presidential Suite and several better suites are occupied by foreign guests, this is the best suite at the moment, and you will be settled. ”

Li Lu was not hypocritical, took the key, and said, "You can sleep with a bed board, not so particular, hehe." ”

You don't pay attention to it, didn't you come here in Wuhan at that time for the conflict that broke out in the presidential suite? He really misunderstood, Li Lu originally wanted to live in a guest house, whether it was the army or the steel factory, just have a place to sleep.

"Director Li, then I'll go and get busy first, you show this bill for dinner, and go directly to the restaurant to eat." Bi Xiaolong handed over the other things and said.

Li Lu nodded slightly, "Okay, it's hard work, you can go with your business." ”

Bi Xiaolong hurriedly went, Li Lu guessed right, he really couldn't get out, but despite this, he still arranged Li Lu and his party without hurry, which shows that this person's treatment of people is first-class.

Looking back at Zhang Weiwei and Huang Guanghui who were looking around, Li Lu shook his head with a smile and said, "The architectural style of Little Japan is actually learned from Europe, and with a little bit of our Chinese style, it has become such a thing, which is a bit nondescript." Let's go, settle down and eat. ”

Zhang Weiwei and Huang Guanghui hurriedly smiled and politely thanked the doorman, carried a canvas bag and made themselves look like farmers in neat tunics, and followed Li Lu to the elevator on their backs.

They didn't care in the slightest about the strange stares of the suit-clad travelers around them.

The people who mess with Li Lu have very big hearts.
