Manchester United stayed at the Magic City International Hotel this time, which used to be one of the most famous hotels in the Magic City. It was built in 1934 and the 24-storey building once held the honorary title of the tallest building in Asia for 30 years! It is the pride of the older generation of Modu people.

Of course, it is no longer conspicuous on today's bustling Nan*Beijing Road, and it is only a four-star hotel. Its facilities are slightly inferior to those of the new five-star hotels, with narrow windows and a lack of views.

However, its location is still superior, to the east you can overlook Shili Nan * Jing Road, and to the south you can overlook the People's Park, which used to be a racecourse.

Manchester United chose this hotel for its ease of transportation and its history.

The International Hotel was funded and built by the Four Banks Savings Association, designed by the famous Hungarian architect Hudak, and the Four Banks Savings Association was a group formed by the partnership of four private capital banks in China at that time. It wants to express its strength by building high-rise buildings, but this strength is actually very limited, so it is impossible to buy land on the Bund, because the price of land on the Bund is too high.

At that time, the land price in the magic capital was already very high, for example, the Bund of Jing Road in the south was the place with the highest land price, and in the early thirties, the land price had reached 300,000 taels of silver per mu.

When the city was opened, the British, Americans, and Western businessmen went to Shanghai to rent land from local farmers, and the land price per mu was only 1,500 wen at that time. In the past 100 years, the price of land has increased by 200,000 times.

Later, they bought such a relatively cheap piece of land on the edge of the racecourse.

The International Hotel sits on the north and faces south, and you can have a panoramic view of the racecourse opposite. At that time, it was known as forgetting the noise of cars and horses, and suspected of feathering and ascending to immortals, and the tallest building in the Far East was also famous.

………………

When Zeng Zhi and the people of the Manchester United team walked into the hall, the waiter in charge of the reception talked about the glorious history of the International Hotel, such as the engagement ceremony of General Chennault and Ms. Chen Xiangmei, the captain of the Flying Tigers, which was held here, and the opening ceremony of the Sino-US international long-distance telephone was also held here. And the celebrities in Shanghai back then were also frequent visitors here, such as Mei Lanfang, such as Ruan Lingyu, such as Butterfly, all of whom had participated in various banquets here.

In fact, Zeng Zhi is no stranger to the International Hotel, of course, this is also his first time to the International Hotel. His previous knowledge of the International Hotel came from his ex-girlfriend Qin Xuefang.

Like most people born in the Magic City in the seventies and eighties, Qin Xuefang has never experienced the old Shanghai era of cheongsam and caulkam Paramount, and the charm of the previous Demon City is heard and seen.

Although Qin Xuefang grew up in the magic capital, the International Hotel, which was once the "tallest building in the Far East", is also difficult to enter. One is that when I was a child, I had no money in my pocket, and I never thought that I would have the confidence to walk into this big hotel where tycoons and celebrities gather; Second, the traffic was not very convenient before, and it took more than half an hour to take the dragon bus from her hometown just to see the international hotel, which was really a bit of "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden".

The height of the building is 83.8 meters, which was once the breathtaking height of the people of the magic capital.
