Chapter 373: The Capital Hotel
According to Yang Panpan's estimate, there is at least a gap of more than 20 years between the capital of China and the romantic capital where she studied abroad.
In other words, even if the capital develops rapidly, it will take 20 years to catch up with the footsteps of Paris, France.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and a cosmopolitan metropolis couldn't be built in a few years.
What's more, while China's capital is developing, the romantic capital is also developing, so Yang Panpan feels that the capital is indeed too backward as Gemino Rothschild said.
In terms of backwardness, Yang Panpan did not think that what Gemino Rothschild said was excessive, because after all, China is indeed backward now, but Yang Panpan felt that it was a bit too much for Gemino Rothschild to talk about socialist countries and capitalist countries.
Yang Panpan feels that everyone has their own different views and opinions on how to look at capitalism and socialist countries.
In the public perception, the so-called capitalism refers to the establishment and system that social distribution should give priority to the protection of the interests of private capital, and its fundamental symbol and fundamental guarantee is the implementation of corporate party politics.
The so-called socialism refers to the principle that social distribution should adhere to the equality and fairness of the whole people, and its fundamental symbol and fundamental guarantee is the practice of party politics for the whole people.
Capitalist society does not fail to promote the interests of the general public, and capitalist society must also seek the interests of the general public, but there is a precondition that the interests of private capital must be protected first; However, a socialist society always treats all members of society equally and fairly, and treats both labor and management equally and fairly.
The fundamental purpose of capitalist society is not completely opposed to the fundamental purpose of socialist society.
According to Yang Panpan's point of view of studying in a capitalist country, capitalist society does not stifle people's material and cultural needs, and socialist society does not stifle the interests of capital.
However, there is a significant difference between the two: capitalist society does not guarantee people's material and cultural needs to a lesser extent than socialist society, and socialist society does not protect the interests of capital to a lesser extent than capitalist society.
On the other hand, she felt that there was some inferiority, which was due to China's backwardness and poverty.
Yang Panpan is the youngest child in the family, and his brothers and sisters are all small leaders of enterprises in Beijing, and the conditions at home are very superior, otherwise, they would not go to Paris, France to study after the reform and opening up.
In the past three years, Yang Panpan has gradually felt the rapid development of developed countries.
Paris is full of high-rise buildings, and when you go out on the streets, the whole street is full of cars and cars.
And China's capital, as the capital of China, after she and Jamino Rothschild got off the plane, they only saw some slightly more decent buildings, and there were only some old and backward foreign cars on the road, compared to Paris, France, it was like heaven and earth.
Otherwise, Gemino Rothschild would not have come out with such a remark coldly.
Along the way, fortunately, the more you go to the urban area of the capital, the more cars on the road, and the high-rise buildings began to increase at this time, which made Yang Panpan's face a little more happy.
She feels that the motherland has changed a lot in recent years, and sooner or later it will become the world's top metropolis.
As a Chinese student, she should work hard to study her major, and after graduation, she will return to her motherland and build her country together with all the people of insight in China.
At this time, she had an indescribable feeling stirring in her heart, and she silently thought, when will my motherland be able to become strong and stand on top of the world?
Jingcheng Hotel, located on Chang'an Avenue in the center of Beijing, is a large-scale luxury hotel with a long history.
This hotel is close to the Wangfujing commercial street in the center of the city, the hotel blends Eastern and Western cultures, and has hosted heads of state and region from many countries and regions.
The rooms of the hotel are tall and spacious, luxurious and elegant, with all kinds of Chinese and Western restaurants and unique Tan family cuisine.
The Beijing Hotel is a five-minute stroll from Tiananmen Square, the Great Hall of the People, the National Centre for the Performing Arts and other historical and cultural attractions, and just a stone's throw away from the bustling Wangfujing Commercial Street.
Before France set off, Yang Panpan settled down in the Beijing Hotel.
She thinks that Jamino Rothschild is a French aristocrat, and when she goes to China, the place to live must be good, and she must reach the status of a member of Jamino Rothschild, and by the way, she can also experience the environment of China's Beijing Hotel, this kind of large-scale high-end hotel, Yang Panpan has never stayed in it once!
After opening the room and putting away their luggage, Gemino Rothschild and Yang Panpan ate some special Chinese dishes in the Chinese restaurant of the Beijing Hotel in accordance with the principle of simplicity and convenience, and Gemino Rothschild proposed to take a walk in the capital.
The Beijing Hotel and the surrounding environment shocked Gemino Rothschild, he originally thought that there would be no such high-end hotels in China, but as soon as he checked in, he found that his idea was wrong, China, an ancient country, actually had such a luxurious hotel, which was even much higher than the hotel he stayed in Paris.
It's just that, because he is a foreign guest, he has received high preferential treatment, whether in terms of room or service, he has even caught up with the high-end hotels in Paris, so that he has a kind of Chinese hotel grade, which is higher than the high-end hotels in Paris.
Walking on the streets of the capital, looking at countless yellow-skinned Chinese, looking at him as if they were rare animals, his face showed a kind of contempt.
In the eighties, as long as they were foreigners, they still felt that they were superior to the Chinese at the psychological level, and thought that the common people of this country were synonymous with ignorance and backwardness.
In their minds, China is still in the same situation as it was after World War II.
Gemino Rothschild feels that China's foreign exchanges in the fields of culture and economy are almost not integrated into the international community.
In their eyes, China is synonymous with barbarism and backwardness, just as the Chinese looked at Africans in later generations, and they felt that China was a rather poor and backward country.
The French, who are reluctant to abide by the rules, are the biggest beneficiaries of the second industrial revolution, and the country is one of the top five developed countries in the world.
If it weren't for the fact that he had heard about a faithful company that made him feel a little excited, and if it weren't for the fact that he felt in his heart that China was a happy land for the future development of the Rothschilds, he would not have traveled to such a socialist country and talked about things.
