Chapter 243: Dongmen Old Street

On this weekend, the three of them walked around Dongmen Pedestrian Street, shopping, eating and drinking, which records a history of Shenzhen's urban development and is an integral part of Shenzhen's historical and cultural accumulation. The Century Bell of the Old Street Square, the bronze relief "East Gate Bazaar Map", the giant copper scale sculpture, the Siyue Academy, and the Lingnan architectural style style street, these humanistic street scenes with obvious historical characteristics can give people an artistic enjoyment and trigger nostalgic meditation. Generally, when they buy electronic products and go to Huaqiangbei, they are crowded every day, and today they deliberately go to the east gate to eat, drink and have fun.

The principal was very lively when she heard it, she was pregnant, and there would be any danger if there were too many people. Leisurely said that she walked in the middle, and they protected her on both sides, so as not to lose weight in the future. Yueyue also wants to go and see, the clothes are sold cheaply, and she wants to buy a few sets, but the clothes in the shopping malls around Nanshan are too expensive and she can't afford it.

The principal asked if he could go by car, and after thinking about it, it was better not to drive, it would be more convenient to take a taxi. Her goal is to visit the stores and hear their thoughts on online and physical stores, so that she can tailor a more suitable platform for them.

The three of them went to the East Gate Old Street, which was almost crowded, Yueyue was outside the gate before, and I only heard that it was lively here, but I didn't expect it to be so lively. The principal also sighed for such a crowded crowd, don't you need money for things at the east gate, why are there so many people. Leisurely smiled and explained that this is the weekend, and the flow of people must exceed 500,000, and it is usually hundreds of thousands. Not only Shenzhen people like to shop, but also outsiders and foreigners like to come here to buy all kinds of items. Good quality and low price, a wide variety, any copy of the new street can not compare here, the reason why Dongmen Old Street is called Old Street, because there were hundreds of years ago, plus now thousands of merchants gathered, it also guides the consumption trend and fashion of Shenzhen, than Longgang Shuanglong Old Street I don't know how many times. The loudspeakers of the shops along the street are louder than the other, and almost every shop selling snacks has to wait in long lines, even to buy fruit. You also want to have a piece of fruit, all of which are peeled, and you can just eat it with a toothpick.

The principal asked them to wait for him to buy, Yueyue asked them to wait, she went to line up, and the three of them fought back and forth, but then took a step back and happened to step on the feet of a foreigner. You Ran even said sorry, turned around and saw that it was a tall foreigner, about forty years old, and quickly talked to him in English, saying I'm really sorry, there are too many people, she didn't mean to.

The foreigner saw that she spoke English well and said that it didn't matter, so by the way, he asked if there was any conflict between them and if he needed his help? Leisurely smiled, explaining that this is some of the etiquette that Chinese are accustomed to, whether it is a familiar person or a stranger, everything must be humbled by each other. Later, they will rush to pay, and fighting back and forth is indeed like a fight. The foreigner shook his head in disbelief, he couldn't understand it, they were used to the AA system. Leisurely smiled and said that humility has permeated all aspects of Chinese customs and culture, some are offensive, but some are still necessary, and he embodies not only simple etiquette, but also an emotion.

The foreigner thought that she was also very interesting to speak, so he took the initiative to hand her a business card, his name is Paul (Paul), from the United States, said that he did clothing trade, I heard that the East Gate Old Street is very lively and came to visit, here is really a shopping paradise, the key is that there are too many people, but I am very happy to meet her. You also took out a business card from her bag and introduced herself to work in an Internet company, and she could contact her if she had any needs in China in the future.

Paul said that he was separated from his assistant and couldn't find the direction at all, and leisurely said that they had just arrived, so it was better to go shopping together, and by the way, they could also help him bargain and explain some of the history of Dongmen Old Street. The east gate is too big, and I can't finish shopping for a while, so I just go shopping separately with my assistant, and when the time comes, I can meet at the hotel and share different experiences. Paul smiled, it was a good idea, he rarely negotiated the price of his purchases. Leisurely speaking, this is one of the joys of shopping, and I feel as if I have reduced my price, but in fact I go home and realize that I have spent a lot of money.

While they were talking, the principal and Yueyue had already lined up in front of the stall to buy fruit, and leisurely asked Yueyue to buy more. Paul saw that there was an English introduction on Youran's business card, so he asked whether Junyi was a multinational company or a Sino-foreign joint venture. It is an authentic local company, but it has hired a lot of foreign engineers, and their business will also involve overseas in the future. After all, the domestic standard of living is gradually improving, and some foreign brands have entered China, but imported products are very expensive, and they are trying to find ways to break this balance, so that more people can buy overseas products and feel that it is cost-effective. Paul asked if they wanted to do overseas purchasing through the Internet, and nodded leisurely, but they didn't have the strength yet, but they were just imagining.

Paul asked her if she could decide this, and nodded leisurely, which was one of the plans for the future. Paul said it was too much of a coincidence, and he also wanted to find a platform like China to cooperate, so it would be better for them to develop this market together. Youran was a little incredible, I thought there might be a chance to cooperate, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth. She was a little embarrassed, others were looking for customers everywhere and couldn't find them, so she stepped on such a kick, did the customers come?

At this time, the principal and Yueyue came over with fruit boxes, leisurely introduced them to each other, and said that after that, the four of them would go shopping. By the way, he opened the fruit box and handed it to Paul, he said thank you, the Chinese are indeed very friendly, and you can meet interested partners on the street.

Leisurely like a tour guide to introduce the old street, saying that it belongs to Luohu District, and it is also the oldest and most prosperous pedestrian street in Shenzhen. Luohu has the first port, the first railway station, the first high-rise building and the first stock exchange in Shenzhen...... In the eyes of many people, Luohu is synonymous with Shenzhen, and if you don't come to the East Gate for a walk, you don't go to the Diwang Building for sightseeing, and you don't go to the International Trade Center Revolving Restaurant for a meal, just like you haven't been to Shenzhen. It represents the progress of consumption, technology, finance and the city, and in the future, the East Gate will be more prosperous, and the surrounding high-rise buildings will be more dense. Paul can come to Shenzhen to do trade, it is a very good choice, no matter now or in the future, Shenzhen will only be at the forefront of reform and opening up, because everyone who comes to Shenzhen comes with dreams and expectations. It represents youth, there are infinite possibilities when he is young, if he is willing, whether they cooperate or not, as long as he wants to do business, she is willing to provide him with the most reliable data reference. Paul is very grateful for her warm introduction, which is probably the different way of doing things in Chinese, and the summary should be relational.
