Chapter 686

Standing at the top of the unfinished Empire State Building No. 2, looking at the whole of Shanghai, witnessing the city's completely different changes from more than ten years ago, Yan Shao's state of mind suddenly became a little subtle.

He had also been to Shanghai and had seen the city's landscape with his own eyes.

Today, the city is not as exotic as it was then, but it is noticeably cleaner and more orderly than it was more than a decade ago...

Thinking of this qiΔ“ in front of him, he has at least half of the credit, Yan Shao can't help but be slightly proud―――――― this is still modest, otherwise Yan Shao feels that even if he admits that he has all the credit, the reason is very simple, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid that China is still in a state of warlord chaos.

It needs to go through a series of chaos after the Xinhai Revolution, the assassination of Song Jiaoren, the Second Revolution, Yuan Shikai's accession to the throne and Qingdao, Twenty-one Articles, etc. Finally, when the First World War was over, before they could enjoy the treatment of the victorious powers, the humiliation of the Versailles Peace Conference came...

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for Yan Shao to admit that he has most of the credit for the one in front of him.

That's right, if it were for the hard work of ordinary people and other government officials, it is clear that the city would not have been able to have such a big change in front of us. But without the emergence of Yan Shao, it is clear that China has no chance of ushering in this kind of change at all...

It's a pity that Yan Shao is the only one who knows this.

But even so, Yan Shao was already very satisfied.

――――――――――――――――――

"You say. Why do people always feel like they want to jump when they stand on the edge of a high place..."

Standing at the edge of the tall building, he cautiously glanced down. Yan Shao hurriedly took two steps back to the people behind him.

Hearing Yan Shao's words, the others all looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer.

If people stand on the edge of a high place and look down, it is easy to have an urge to jump―――――― at least most people will, and Yan Shao will obviously not get rid of most of this concept.

It is precisely because of this that he has never been able to understand why he has this impulse, and then wants to understand. This is probably also the result of human curiosity. Just looking at the dumbfounded looks of those people behind him, Yan Shao knew that his efforts were in vain.

On the other hand, though, look back and look down. Yan Shao felt that it was better not to stand there at will. After all, if there is a strong wind, it is difficult to say whether you will be blown down. Even if there is no wind, what if there is someone behind you who has a hot brain and wants to reach out and push something...

Yan Shao naturally believed in the loyalty of those behind him. But he didn't believe everyone was so loyal. After all, asking everyone to be true to themselves is an impossible thing in itself.

And Yan Shao felt that the position he was standing in was so punctual just now, it seemed normal that someone would want to push it behind his back, after all, this was also an impulse. And if it is really done, compared to that person, he will definitely be able to go down in history―――――― Yan Shao doesn't feel that he has been pushed down at the height of seventy or eighty floors, and there is still a possibility of surviving.

"It seems that it is better to be careful in the future. At least try not to get close to such a dangerous place. ”

As the saying goes, always walk by the river. There's no way to get your shoes wet, but if you're not walking by the river, it won't be. In terms of national affairs, if the benefits are more lucrative, Yan Shaozhi does not mind taking a gamble, just like the original 'westward expansion strategy'. But in this kind of matter, Yan Shao still thinks it is better to be cautious.

Otherwise, if as the head of a country, when he was looking down with a probe, he was pushed down from behind and fell to his death, it would be too ugly, at least for Yan Shao, even if he was dead, it would be a shame for his life...

"By the way, how is the epidemic prevention work in Shanghai?"

After retreating from the edge, Yan Shao turned his head to look at the mayor of Shanghai, a middle-aged man who looked very shrewd and capable.

Shanghai is the most important financial center of China and the Far East, and its importance can be imagined, and it is natural that it cannot be a mediocre and inactive bureaucrat sitting here. Therefore, Yan Shao specially arranged some capable people in Shanghai, and the one in front of him was promoted by Yan Shao from the Kuomintang Socialist Party, who turned out to be just an ordinary member, but he was talented, so he was favored by Yan Shao.

And Shanghai's ability to do this has a certain relationship with him.

After hearing Yan Shao's question, Zhao Wenting nodded and replied. "Please rest assured, we are fully prepared and can definitely control the epidemic in Shanghai to a minimum..."As he said this, Zhao Wenting glanced at the ground below the tall building.

Although today's Shanghai can be said to be full of high-rise buildings, compared with when Yan Shao came to Shanghai, it is less prosperous and a little depressed.

The reason for this is somewhat related to the end of the European war. After all, after the end of the European War, Britain, France and other countries did not have as urgent needs for various resources as in the past, and even China's foreign exports also decreased a lot, which naturally made Shanghai obviously more depressed than during the war.

However, the real culprit of this qiΔ“ is the 'Spanish flu', which is currently circulating around the world. As the most lethal virus in human history, the number of people who have died because of it in the world may have exceeded 10 million.

And last year, just when people thought the dreaded virus was finally over, he made a comeback. Re-circulating around the world, it is true that today's China is more developed than in history, but the negative impact is that China's communication with the outside world is much stronger than in history.

Coupled with the progress of domestic infrastructure, more advanced transportation. So that the virus can spread throughout the country more lightly than in history, and the result of this is, obviously...

Not very optimistic.

As China's most important window to the outside world. Naturally, Shanghai has also become one of the most epidemic areas.

As a result, despite the many measures taken by the Shanghai government, it has not been able to completely eliminate the effects of the Spanish flu here.

――――――――――――――――――――

"Hmm..."Yan Shao still trusted this person he had personally selected, so he patted Zhao Wenting on the shoulder and spoke. That's fine, remember, do your best. After all, this is different from ordinary natural disasters..."

If it is an ordinary natural disaster, such as a flood or an earthquake, if it is not handled properly by Zhao Wenting. Of course, Yan Shao would not spare him, but the current situation is different, and it is an epidemic right now.

There are very few ways to deal with this kind of thing, and it can even be said that the only way is to find the medicine for the treatment as much as possible. Otherwise. You can only passively wait for the epidemic to go away on its own.

And at the moment, it is obvious that all countries in the world still can't come up with effective treatments, so the only way to deal with it is to choose the latter, so as long as Zhao Wenting is not intentionally derelict in his duties, Yan Shao will naturally not blame him, after all, there is no way for anyone to change this kind of thing...

Heard Yan Shao say this. Zhao Wenting suddenly showed a grateful expression.

Yan Shao, on the other hand, patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the stairs below. Yan Shao asked as he walked. "By the way, how many ladies are there?"

"The ladies are upstairs right now, inspecting the progress of the building..."

On the side, someone hurriedly replied.

After hearing such an answer, Yan Shao bowed slightly. "In this case, then let's go there and have a look..."As he spoke, Yan Shao stopped his downward steps, then looked around, and then walked in the direction of the upper floor.

As for the others, they naturally just followed behind Yan Shao, and then slowly followed.

After walking for about a few minutes, Yan Shao and the others came upstairs―――――― it is not very correct to say that it is upstairs, to be correct, this place should be called 'rooftop', a floor that has not been completely built, so except for a few pillars here, the rest is almost no different from the rooftop.

At this moment, Elaline and the others were under the escort of a group of bodyguards, looking at the surrounding scenery. Compared with the layer Yan Shao just now, it is much more refreshing to see the scenery here.

Of course, the wind is much stronger in comparison...

In fact, at this moment, in addition to Eleno and others, there are also a number of bodyguards, there are also a large number of noble ladies and concubines. It's just that their courage is obviously not as good as Elaline's, just when Elaline and the others were standing near the edge of the floor, looking at the scenery like Yan Shao just now, those noble ladies and concubines were standing trembling in the distance, completely forgetting what their original task was―――――― although in Shanghai, they can also be said to have a very high status, and they can usually be called the stars and the moon, but compared with Elaline's people, they are obviously much worse.

Now that Yan Shao's family is in Shanghai, whether it is for themselves or their husbands, they want to shorten the distance between them and Elaino, and now is undoubtedly a very suitable occasion...

It's just that...

There are not many women who are brave enough to stand on the edge of a seventy or eighty-story building and look down after all, at least, those people behind definitely don't have the guts...

――――――――――――――――――――

After boarding the rooftop, he looked at it casually, and Yan Shao quickly understood the current situation.

"What are you doing here..."Seeing Elano and the others standing on the edge, looking around, Yan Shao stepped forward and asked helplessly.

"Of course it's avoiding those people..."Glancing back, a mischievous smile appeared on Elano's face, although it subverted the original elegant image, it made Yan Shao's eyes light up, and he even had the urge to snatch the camera from Fumiko's hand, but to take a picture of this scene.

But it's a pity that Fumiko is not nearby at the moment, and Yan Shao can't do this kind of image-destroying move.

But even so, after hearing Elanon's words, Yan Shao couldn't help laughing.

"Hiding from those people?"

"yes!" Elaline said with a smile.

At this time, Caterina on the side also spoke. "Those people were like a swarm of flies, all the time around us. If they can talk about some meaningful topics, it doesn't matter, but what they talk about is something very vulgar, and we can't just ask them to stay away. So I had to stand in this place and enjoy the scenery..."

Speaking of this, the corners of Katerina's mouth couldn't help but show a sneering smile.

"It didn't surprise us, those women who can only talk about cosmetics or gestures don't have the guts to stand here at all, they can only say something terrible or something like that..."

Didn't they talk about cosmetics or jewelry, isn't there such a saying, even if it's a 100-point woman. If you don't dress up well, you can only show 50 points―――――― which seems to mean that?

Ahem, there's another phrase called. There are no ugly women, only lazy women...

In other words, as long as a woman is willing to put in the effort to dress up, she can still take it out to meet people...

Thus. Cosmetics and jewelry and clothing are important. And Yan Shao as a man. Apparently wishing his woman could be more beautiful. In addition, now that his net worth is now, it seems that he doesn't need to save anything, so Yan Shao's house is almost full of jewelry and clothes from several of them, and even Fumiko herself began to put on some light makeup and the like...

The point is...

It's okay to talk about it, but if you keep talking about these things that are not nutritious or vulgar, Elaline and her sisters can't stand it. But their identity also made it impossible for them to say the word "get out", and in the end they had to run to the edge of the building to ask for peace, and things turned out to be as they expected. Those noble ladies and concubines didn't have the courage to come over at all, which also made them quiet.

Not surprising either. Whether it is Elaline or Caterina, they have seen the world, and it can even be said that they have human lives on their hands, so they naturally will not be like ordinary women. And Kaoru Otsuki and Lu Ying have also seen a lot of the world, even if they are slightly weak in their hearts, they are not particularly afraid.

In addition, they really can't stand those vulgar topics, so naturally they come here with the two of them to be quiet...

――――――――――――――――――――

After figuring out what was going on, Yan Shao smiled a little helplessly. "You twoβ€”" But he couldn't say anything to blame, he couldn't blame his wife, could he? What's more, he didn't want his wife to have too much contact with those women and be contaminated with some vulgar smells.

If that's the case, even a man like him who cares about his family will probably have to think about finding an affair or something―――――― provided that he doesn't die later...

"Forget it, don't talk about that..."Shaking his head helplessly, Yan Shao walked to Elainor's side. What do you think of this building? ”

"Very good...", nodding slightly, Elaline expressed satisfaction. I've already asked the engineer, because of the experience of the last time, so although the height of this building and other aspects are no different from the previous one, but in fact, the interior has been improved a lot, solved a lot of small problems, it is an upgraded version of the previous building, to be honest, if it is not for the cost of this kind of building is too high, I want to build a new one in Beijing..."

"If you really like it, then let's just tear down the original building, or design a new one" Hearing Elano say this, Yan Shao looked a little indifferent.

Now how much money he has, I'm afraid even Yan Shao himself doesn't know, and because of this, his concept of money is becoming more and more indifferent.

Because of this, in his mind, it is worth it to get a better office space for his wife, even if it costs some extra money―――――― anyway, the money is usually still in the bank, so it is better to spend it...

And isn't there a beacon theater prince? He took some money out and built a building for his wife, which didn't seem to be a luxury...

However, hearing Yan Shao say this, Elaline shook his head and said. "Forget it, the cost of such a building is very expensive, and there are already some voices in China criticizing your usual life, if you really want to waste so much money for such a reason, I'm afraid even the people who originally supported you will be dissatisfied..."

Apparently Elaline is well aware that what really matters to their family is nothing but the support of the people at home. Some of the economic benefits are insignificant compared to this support. Because as long as there is such support, Yan Shao's position can be stabilized, and similarly, Yushi Group's position in China can also be stabilized.

But if Yan Shao is driven down one day, I'm afraid this qiΔ“ will all disappear...

Therefore, even though Elaline knew very well that with the current financial resources of the group, it was not impossible to build one building, even if it was to build ten, she still hurriedly supported Yan Shao.

Naturally, hearing Yan Shao say this, Elanon's heart always felt a little warm...

"Since you don't care, then I won't say much..."

Seeing that Elano didn't seem to have this kind of image, Yan Shao shook his head.

"I don't say that, it's just that I think it's better to lend it as a loan than to throw the money into this kind of thing, so it's more in our interests..." You see, we've lent at least a few hundred million pounds at the moment, and that money brings us back a lot of money every year, and a building is nothing compared to that........."
