Chapter 54: After the Wind and Moon
"I'm sorry, there's no room available in this room now, well, no one has checked out in the hour you've been out and about...... I'm so sorry......"
Come on. Luckily, I didn't take the whole suitcase with me. Zeng Zhizhang really didn't complain about anything in the face of the waiter. The squeaky and creaking of the bed can be blamed on the developer, the supervision unit and the construction unit, this business is so good that there is no room, and I am really embarrassed to send this nameless fire to the hotel.
"It's okay, I'll just sleep for the night." Zeng Zhizhang took the cigarette case and went up to the fifth floor listlessly. Unlucky, really unlucky, Zeng Zhizhang now even has the heart to kick the door of that room.
But after thinking about it, it's better not to do this kind of thing. What if the person next door not only became the chairman of the committee, but also kicked the door open to give Zeng Zhizhang an old man's cart leather club, what should I do?
Thinking of this, Zeng Zhizhang stopped in front of the door of the next room and put his ear to the door instead.
Well...... It seems to be quiet. Zeng Zhizhang breathed a sigh of relief. If he went down for a walk and waited for more than an hour that the bed next door was still ringing, he would really sigh:
Are people from another world monsters in terms of sexual prowess?
Those who talk about business at the wine table know that the wine has to go through the three rounds, and the dishes must go through the five flavors, so that they can start talking about business. In bed, the rules are naturally the same as at the wine table.
What's more, it was the first time that two ignorant young people tasted the rain that was several times more stimulating than the spirits.
"Honestly, Clough, I think it's nice to have a hotel like this in the South...... "The new couple, who have exhausted all their energy in the reciprocating exercise, can't even straighten their waists." The premise is that people from other worlds are willing to help us, and these beds and floors and stuff like that aren't too expensive......"
"Wolfe, I think this proposal is more ...... than the starting point shop It's even more unrealistic. "Clough had been on the main side of the attack until now, and he was still panting slightly." The five-story building we live in now seems to me to have been deceived for the rest of my life. And no one in our chamber of commerce needs to stay in a hotel like this......"
In the final analysis, the two of them are still Elta, and they have no concept of the gap in the establishment of many hotels. Can a five-storey frame house be built elsewhere in Elta? Yes, but of course until the link is complete. If there is no generator, no matching interior washing, and one-stop catering supply, this five-storey frame room is only suitable for bringing real CS or allowing people to paste paint on it as a performance art template.
But in other words, none of this is a problem. If the mature urban agglomeration of South Erta is of great significance to China and to New Elta, or if there is a wide and less silted river that passes through South Elta, then it will not be difficult to find any hotels, schools, or industrial areas.
The construction that exceeds the demand level must be completed, and the construction that exceeds the logistics level must also be completed. The Eurasian Soviet Union, the predecessor of the Northern Alliance, played a "planned economy" and "political command", and built complete universities, houses, supermarkets, kindergartens, and hospitals in the Far East...... As soon as the planned economic system, which supported the stay of residents beyond the logistical level, collapsed, and the prices of the same level as Moscow's were superimposed on the freight costs of the main artery railway, many cities in the Far East became ghost towns where social and political functions came to a halt in an instant, and residents migrated south and west at the same time.
The same is true of the "Liujing Hotel" built by Kim Ersil and Sansil in the capital. The construction of such a cosmopolitan hotel in a "hermit's country" where tourism is restricted, or the construction of such a skyscraper in a country where commercial restrictions and commercial credit are extremely unfavorable for investment, were already exceeding demand levels by the time construction began in the mid-to-late eighties. What is the purpose of Jin Ersil's intention to build it? In fact, it is just to "reflect the strength of our nation".
For this reason, the hotel's initial planned budget was 2% of the country's GDP in 1987. Note that not 2% of the capital's GDP, but 2% of the country's GDP. You must know that China's military spending is usually about 1.5% of GDP......
Well, when it came to the "Economic Mutual Meeting" and the polar bear entered the cemetery together, the Jin family was forced to start the "March of Suffering", and the second fool, who couldn't even take care of the people's food, could only let the Liujing Hotel jump from the world's first skyscraper to the first skyscraper in East Asia, and then leap to become the world's first unfinished building. At this time, the Liujing Hotel did not have either of the two indicators. The bare post-modern tombstone stands there, and one stop is twenty years old.
It wasn't until 2009, when a subsidiary of North Africa's largest telecommunications company took over the construction of the Liujing Hotel (as a bargaining chip for the subsidiary to enter the country's market), that the Liujing Hotel was covered with a glass façade. As for whether the North African telecommunications giant gave up the Liujing Hotel project after being cheated out, people have never seen photos of the completion.
Even if it's finished, 3,000 rooms and 7 revolving restaurants, what good is this for a country that receives less than 130,000 visitors a year? Bringing this question past the portal, the reason why Shield City listed the business hotel as the first batch of modern infrastructure to be built is that before and during the war, the appearance of Mendong City, a place where goods from another world are scattered, suddenly became alive and well.
The best way to get into Mendong City is to continue westward along the high-standard cement road paved by the Chinese side from Duncheng, the number one transportation hub in West El Tower. Even in wartime, there were many merchants who took a detour from East Elta to the south, and then took the branch line of the capital road from the south, risking themselves to cross the battle line in front of the Western Expeditionary Army and the West Elta Army, and their hard work was really only for profit.
The owner of Mendong City and the de facto controller of Elta are at loggerheads, but they welcome merchants and those who come to work. This is the basis for the rapid settlement of the new Elta. If China's exploration in the other world is only for "conquest", can the Elta people move spontaneously like this and spontaneously achieve what the Chinese want them to achieve? No. They will only be scattered by the steamroller of war like refugees on the other side of the portal, so is there any question of whether the population is concentrated or not?
So, Clough has already made one of these points: the southern part of Elta, as the end and starting point of many business trips, does not really need such high-end hotels, and those merchants either have a room in the chamber complex as a base or have their own home.
What Clough proposes is another form of population demand distribution problem. In other words, if Wolf offered to open a shop selling Chinese dim sum in some poor ravine, Clough would have stopped her. It's just a different direction.
It didn't take long for the young couple to snore and interrupt their discussion of the future.
And for Zeng Zhizhang, who is typing on the keyboard next door, the population layout is also a point he must focus on - of course, he also has to consider where the blonde big wave girl is more to his taste. It's easy to come to another world to organize a school with a career direction, and to be able to stay in the condescending headmaster's room and look through the flat glass at the breasts of the girls doing radio gymnastics below...... You know, it's not illegal at all, hahaha......
Not long after fluttering in the sea of delusions, Zeng Zhizhang, who had been inspecting around the shield city all day, also fell asleep drooling.
After that, Zeng Zhizhang and other fellow educational colleagues will go east along the Minerva River, while Clough and Wolf will leave a few steel trowels in the dining room early, replace them with two cakes and meat, fill the kettle and head south.
"Aha-" Wolf yawned as he leaned against Clough.
"Tired?" Clough reached out from his cloak and stroked Wolff's head a few times. Although there is sunshine on the streets in autumn, motorists must still wear hoods and cloaks to cope with the bleak autumn wind in front of them.
"Tired—ahh Wolfe's lips curled slightly, and the sunlight swept across the cloak, leaking just enough to make her teeth shiny. "Who made you do so much on me yesterday...... People are sore, painful, and tired. ”
"Tell me straight, what do you want?" Clough listened to the complaints of the people around him and made a small joke that was not a joke. This is Wolfe's trick to eat and drink and deceive him before this, but it is the first time that he has really been poked by Clough in person.
Wolf lowered his head deeply, and held back for a long time before a sentence came out:
"I just want to stay with you—" Wolfe's flushed face suddenly lifted, and her earnest eyes were completely clear to Clough. "Well, it's better that the journey doesn't end, this does, it's not too demanding, right?"
"It's not high—" Clough stretched his left hand out of his cloak and hugged his traveling companion.
In this way, the carriage staggered out of the old city wall from the Duncheng district and into the autumn field.
From here, there will be a large section of high-grade pavement made of cement. The concrete pavement will stop in front of a river, on the geographical dividing line between Cierta and Elta Sud. As long as there is a cement road on the way, there will be relatively complete public security and medical services...... But outside of the Cierta realm, things are going to be different. Although there are still security guards, this kind of posture of walking in the territory of Cierta without fear of anything is afraid that it will be collected.
Thinking of this, Clough, who was immersed in happiness, suddenly had a little more gloom above his head.
