Chapter 521 The appearance of old Shanghai

Talked at the airport for a while.

I made an appointment with Mayor Song to have dinner at the Peace Hotel in the evening, and the old man proposed the idea of ​​strolling in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

No one else would object, so the mayor left a secretary and some policemen and took the others away first.

Anthony found several Mercedes-Benz S600s. Two years ago, Ferrari sold his first sports car in Yanjing, and there was no place to rent a car. These were found because of the help of the government. It was already a rare luxury car.

In 1994, the planned economy had just changed to a market economy, and the materials were not as rich as future generations.

The merchants who came to Shanghai Stock Exchange to buy goods and sell them were everywhere, even the roof of the car was filled with pockets, and there was a busy scene on the street.

A woman who pursues fashion wears black stockings and shivering in the cold this winter.

The men and women who came from the small city thought she must be a vixen while they were staring at her legs.

Young men tend to wear "Prince's Pants". These pants made of flowing fabrics have fat butts, small legs, and many pleats on the waist. The fabric is fancy.

It was floating under the north wind, wearing an oversized toad mirror, and I always felt that my belt was not tied tightly, and my pants were about to fall off, but I even looked arrogant and fashionable than others.

Han Xuan held back in the car, and his stomach was almost laughing and hurting.

Most of the roads are low two-story old buildings, and construction is underway in many places to build commercial housing. Now it is the era of welfare housing distribution. These new houses belong to state-owned enterprises and governments, and others cannot buy them even if they have money.

Shoe repair shops, yellow croaker trucks, tricycles selling lunch boxes, and tea stalls are placed next to the street, and the owner shouts loudly to attract customers.

There are not many cars on the road, and the most mainstream one is the 28-bar bicycle. At some parking points, this kind of bicycle can be placed hundreds of meters long.

Liu Deye's "Forget Love Water" is played in the loudspeaker of the store, and the Minnan song "Only Fighting Love" is the same. The sounds are mixed together, and there are ghosts and howling.

People everywhere, gathered together to bargain, and the most common thing I saw was to pay.

Pedestrians lined up for taxis, which was semi-forced. Because there were iron bars on both sides, they could only accommodate one person standing, so the line was particularly neat.

The roadside blackboard reads: "The 6th Far East and South Pacific Disabled Persons Games were successfully held in Yanjing!

Create a better future together and hold the Southern Sports Games well!”

The old man from the Joint Defense Team of Public Security, with a red armband, stopped the education vendor, stared at the luxury convoy, and shouted: "Everyone on the roadside is asking for permission, whose child is running on the road!

Where is the parents!? Take them all home!"

Perhaps this is the prototype of urban management.

Before everything was seen, the alley was very lively in the evening, with two or three families gathering together for supper, and many old men and aunts made an appointment to chat.

Many clothes were hung on the bamboo poles between the two buildings, and were blown back and forth by the wind.

This is the real Shanghai Stock Exchange in the early 1990s.

A city with an old appearance but rejuvenation.

A newly built building is not far away, with more than ten or twenty floors. It is not high, but it is a lot of them.

Because there were police leading the way in front, the chaotic traffic failed to affect the convoy behind.

The car was quiet, and the two old men and a boy were looking out the window, feeling the city.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange has urban culture passed down from the beginning of the 20th century.

After a few years, when a foreigner arrives, he can only see the prosperity of this city and be shocked by it.

You can feel the temptation of the extravagant Shanghai market, but you can't feel the connotation of staying in this city from generation to generation. From their smiles today, you can see that life is happy.

When Han Xuan saw familiar things such as candied haws, candied people, etc., he felt a sense of intimacy and couldn't help laughing.

Waiting for the car to drive towards the city center, the impact of reform and opening up in recent years has become more obvious.

A large area of ​​old buildings was pushed down, and a shopping mall, square, hotel, and on Huaihai Road, the No. 26 tram was dripping. In front of the Goubuli bun shop, there was steam everywhere, and the owner inside was almost invisible.

The young countryman riding a Phoenix bicycle has a large package on the seat. He comes here to go on a stroll trip, pursuing poetry and distant places, and feeling the prosperity of the big city.

When he saw Han Xuan and his team, he murmured to himself: "He can be replaced, and a real man should be like this."

After getting off the car and locked it, I took out a small amount of change from my pocket, walked into KFC nervously, planning to have Western food...

The World Architecture Expo Group.

It's still the Bund, but there are some differences.

At least the trams in front of the door were those Han Xuan had never seen when he came to the Shanghai Stock Exchange before. The observation deck near the Huangpu River was not repaired, and the construction equipment was piled up by the river, which seemed a bit messy.

Those buildings that were planned to be bought have probably not been repaired since the founding of the People's Republic of China and have a dark appearance.

Perhaps Westerners regarded China as their own treasure back then, and they worked very hard to build these buildings. The buildings for nearly a hundred years are still very solid.

If you look at them carefully, you can feel the prosperity of old Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s.

From now on, I looked at Lu Jiazui, like I was watching Manhattan, New York.

Now there is only an Oriental Pearl TV Tower over there, and some low factory buildings have been sold, but no one has started to build skyscrapers.

The convoy drove to the Asia Building on the far side of the Bund. After the car stopped, the bodyguards came to open the door. This situation attracted the attention of many tourists who came to visit.

Some foreigners immediately exclaimed when they found Han Xuan and the old man!

The Chinese who recognized them also called their names in surprise. When they heard the unknown companion asked who it was, they were excited to explain!

The policeman wearing green police uniforms and wearing a thick white belt around his waist quickly built a wall to stop tourists from approaching.

Old Master Han smiled and waved his arm, took Han Xuan's hand, and looked at Building 1.

The Asia Building, which has both classical and neoclassical styles, covers an area of ​​more than 1,700 square meters and has a total of 7 floors. After careful calculation, it is more expensive than the building in Ginza, Japan, and the price is obviously inflated.

There are three institutions here, namely the Metallurgical Design Institute, the Real Estate Administration Bureau, and the Silk Company. The municipal government is planning to replace a batch of Bund houses. These institutions are going to move to other places, so they want to sell them.

The HSBC Bank Building No. 12 is also seven-story, covering an area of ​​fourteen acres, and is divided into five Asian buildings.

When Mr. Han saw this building, he remembered the previous price and asked the secretary Xiao Wang, whom Mayor Song, with a strange expression:

"It's only sold for 1.5 billion yuan at such a big price, and the Asia Building No. 1 sold for 900 million yuan, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"Um"

The secretary named Wang looked at the two buildings and found something was wrong. He secretly scolded the people who set the prices to guess the price, thinking that the first floor of the Bund was worthwhile.

He smiled and said, "I will go back and tell the mayor that the price of the Asia Building will be discussed again.

But the price of Building 12 has always been at this price, which is not much different. A few years ago, HSBC wanted to buy this building back, but the price was not negotiated."

When I saw the No. 17 Linxi Newspaper Building, the area was even smaller. Although it had ten floors, each floor covered an area of ​​only more than 1,000 square meters.

There is no need to remind me this time, Xiao Wang hurriedly said: "This building has also been repriced."

Han Xuan pointed at Lujiazui on the other side of the Huangpu River, "Mr. Wang, please help me ask the land there, how much is acre now.

I want to buy a piece of land there to build a building, which is a little larger."

“How much do you want?”

"300 acres, more is OK."

"I'll do it, too."

"And I."

When Xiao Wang heard the three people talking one after another, he shook his heart and remembered the newspaper saying that Mr. Han wanted to build the world's tallest building in New York, saying, "How tall should you build so much land?"

There is a commercial planning area there, and there are requirements for land area. The land you buy must start building within five years.”

Han Xuan had never heard of this news. Perhaps the government did not build buildings in order to prevent others from hoarding land. Everyone knows that Lujiazui is now classified as a key development zone, and the land will definitely appreciate in the future (to be continued.)
