"What are you doing here?" Lin Mushuang saw that Ankang was busy in front of the computer, so she asked curiously.

"I'm copying the video recorded on the day of Hong Kong's return to China on July 1 to my computer, and I want to do a comparative analysis of Hong Kong and Shanghai." Ankang replied.

The handover ceremony between Chinese and British soldiers was played on the computer.

"What are you doing analyzing this?" Lin Mushuang sat on the edge of the bed and asked.

"This is the question given to us by our teacher, so that we can make suggestions for the revitalization of Shanghai again."

Lin Mushuang smiled: "Hahaha." Naturally, there are people to give advice to the revitalization of Shanghai, do you still need it? ”

"We are economics students. It is our duty to study the economy of the country and the economy of the city. Although our suggestions are not useful, we can integrate what we have learned in our research, and we can also understand the laws of economic operation in actual cases. ”

"And what pattern have you found?"

"There's a lot of regularity, but that's not the point. The point is that Hong Kong's prosperity has benefited from the decline of Shanghai, as well as its development and opening up. Now the country has finally developed and opened up Pudong, which has created conditions for Shanghai to take off again. If Shanghai thrives again, will Hong Kong be negatively affected? ”

"The conclusion?"

"The impact is definitely there. However, it will depend on China's overall economic development in the future. If China becomes an economic powerhouse, it is not impossible that there will be several economic centers with world influence. Just like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles in the United States, and like Tokyo and Osaka in Japan. And if the country's economic strength is not strong, it can only maintain one economic center, and the other will rise. It's like London in England and Paris in France. ”

"What about the final verdict?"

"Hahaha. You're getting to the bottom of it. I think it's more likely that the two will stand side by side. Moreover, in addition to Hong Kong and Shanghai, Beijing has always been a special existence. Three economic centers are formed: Beijing in the north, Shanghai in the east, and Hong Kong in the south. You see, just like this picture. ”

On a map of China, Ankang circled Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.

Lin Mushuang was noncommittal about this, and changed the topic and asked, "Are you free tomorrow?" Let's go to Lujiazui to take pictures. ”

Ankang put down the mouse and asked, "What photos did you take?" ”

"Didn't my dad ask someone to make a cheongsam for me and Zhu Xue? We wanted to take some portrait photos in a cheongsam. ”

An Kang said with a smile: "You wear cheongsam to take portrait photos, shouldn't you go to places like Hengshan Road and the Bund?" ”

Lin Mushuang said: "Ouch, there are too many people taking cheongsams in places like Hengshan Road and the Bund, it's too boring." It's better to go to Lujiazui to shoot the combination of modernity and tradition. Also, you can take some photos with those construction sites in Lujiazui as a background. ”

"This is only what you can think of, what kind of portrait photo is taken in a cheongsam with the construction site as the background? It's not weird. ”

Lin Mushuang said: "You, a person who studies economics, don't understand it at all. It's called art, and it's performance art, and it's very popular right now. The femininity of the cheongsam and the masculinity of the construction site will form a strong visual impact, and the modernity of the classical and modern architecture of the cheongsam will also form a visual impact. ”

Although Ankang doesn't understand art, he still has to go to Lujiazui, otherwise who will take pictures of these two girls?

Early in the morning of Sunday, Ankang and Lin Mushuang, who was wearing a cheongsam and stepping on high heels, arrived at the bus stop together, and sure enough, they saw the tall Zhu Xue standing slimly next to the stop sign in a cheongsam. Beauty is beautiful, but Ankang really can't appreciate the strong impact of the cheongsam and the surrounding things.

There was also a boy standing next to Zhu Xue, and Zhu Xue introduced that it was her boyfriend.

Lin Mushuang was already tall, and Zhu Xue was taller than her. Two tall girls wearing cheongsams and stepping on high heels stood side by side at the bus stop, which attracted a lot of attention. After getting on the bus, many passengers stared at them.

Even Shanghainese who like to wear cheongsams rarely see anyone actually walking on the street wearing cheongsam in this year, and it is even more difficult to see one on the bus.

An Kang and Zhu Xue's boyfriend looked at each other and smiled, both of them were a little embarrassed by tacit understanding, but Lin Mushuang and Zhu Xue didn't think so.

The changes in Lujiazui are still quite big. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower, where Ankang and Lin Mushuang once climbed, has long been built. The surrounding site area is larger than before. Many of the buildings under construction have already shown grandeur.

This time, Ankang and Lin Mushuang didn't come to Lujiazui to climb the tower again. They strolled along the road under the tower. The cheongsam worn by Lin Mushuang and Zhu Xue limited their footsteps, but did not limit their imagination and vitality. The two beauties walked in front of Nana, and An Kang and Zhu Xue's boyfriends followed from a distance behind with a camera on their backs.

"Didn't you say there used to be a teacher here who taught painting?" Zhu Xue's boyfriend asked Zhu Xue after pressing a shutter.

Under the introduction of Lin Mushuang, Zhu Xue also studied art for a year with the architectural designer surnamed Cheng.

Zhu Xue said: "He is not here for a long time. I heard that I have left Shanghai. ”

"I'm going to Hainan." Lin Mushuang said.

"Hainan?" Zhu Xue didn't seem to know about this situation, "It's pretty good in Alahai, but you're going to Hainan to do it?" ”

Lin Mushuang said: "I heard that a friend of his who is in the real estate business pulled him to the sea. ”

"Didn't he do it in Shanghai?"

"Not anymore. Quitting my job. ”

Zhu Xue pursed her mouth and said, "I quit my job in a good state-owned enterprise." Is it guaranteed to go to the sea? ”

Lin Mushuang smiled: "He must have weighed it clearly." By the way, he also invited us to Hainan to play. ”

"Hahaha. This is good! ”

Although Lin Mushuang and Zhu Xue felt that their teacher had left Shanghai for a foreign country, this emotion quickly melted away from the joy of portrait photography.

Lin Mushuang and Zhu Xue are familiar with Lujiazui. Back then, the engineer took them to many construction sites. Site selection, design, construction, supervision and other construction processes have made them experienced.

Compared with the somewhat delicate Lin Mushuang, Zhu Xue is more lively and cheerful. Although it was Lin Mushuang who came to Lujiazui to take portrait photos, the entire activity process in Lujiazui was basically Zhu Xue in control of the situation and rhythm.

Compared with Lin Mushuang, Zhu Xue is more proficient in photography. What terms such as focus, aperture, shutter, and depth of field make Ankang stunned. The effect of background blur, which is suitable for portraits, was adjusted by Zhu Xue little by little, and then handed it to An Kang's hand: "Don't move anything, just press the shutter." ”

Ankang just nodded his head with an "oh oh" and honestly treated himself as a tripod.

After stepping on high heels in Lujiazui for a day, Lin Mushuang couldn't move in bed when she got home.

An Kang connected the phone line to the computer to surf the Internet, and recently he became obsessed with BBS. In this era, the Internet is still a very rare thing, there is almost no substantive content on the Internet, but the content on BBS is much richer. Not only are there all kinds of news, but there are even people who create long stories on BBS.

Ankang uses a BBS software called "Blue Wave Express". The software can dial in to a server via a phone line, then download the content from the BBS channels from the server and read it offline.

If there is any information that needs to be published or you need to reply, just reply directly in that software, and then dial up the Internet again and upload the content of your reply to the server.

The reason why you don't use a phone line to surf the Internet is mainly based on two reasons, the first is that the phone line will be occupied by the Internet, and the second is that the cost of the phone is relatively high. Occasionally, an hour or two of the Internet is fine, but doing it all day long is almost unreasonable.

Lin Mushuang had a strong interest in the Internet at first. Every time Ankang connects to the Internet, Lin Mushuang has to occupy half an hour. But gradually she became less interested. There was really nothing on the Internet that interested her.

In the future, when Lin Mushuang needs to go online and send emails, she will simply ask Ankang to do it directly. Ankang is happy and happy.

Because he often goes online, Ankang has also made a lot of netizens. This made Lin Mushuang very ashamed, feeling like an underage child making a pen pal, very naïve. An Kang didn't care about Lin Mushuang's cynicism, and was only immersed in his own great happiness.

Ankang wrote a story about the business problems encountered by his uncle and posted it on BBS, but he didn't expect it to cause widespread discussion. Many netizens said that their families or acquaintances had encountered the same problem, and they all supported them, in the final analysis, they hoped that Ankang's uncle would not fall in love with the war and get out of the quagmire quickly. And this is exactly the advice that Ankang himself gave to his uncle before.

The so-called foreign monks can chant scriptures, so Ankang collected the suggestions of these netizens and printed them into a case book and handed them to his uncle. Although my uncle was moved to see such a case, he did not take corresponding measures. He seems to have made up his mind to keep his brand alive and is fully focused on how to pay off his debts.
