20. Build a parking lot

After returning to China, it was already mid-June.

In June, the sky is full of poplar flowers in the capital, and the flying catkins are annoying.

After getting off the plane, Su Budong saw someone selling cream ice sorbet on the side of the road, so he bought one. The aunt who sold popsicles took out the popsicles from the wooden box wrapped in cotton and gave them. Su Budong took a bite with satisfaction, feeling that the troubles of the day had dissipated a little.

"Isn't it just ice sorbet, as for it?" Zhang Yang didn't understand how this master who grew up in a capitalist society would like this kind of thing from the old capital.

Zhang Yang would not know that in his own impression, Su Budong only had such a box when he was the happiest years of childhood, which carried a small childhood dream. That was to buy the whole box of popsicles and ice cream and eat it by yourself.

Later, my family had some money, so I bought a refrigerator and wholesale ice soybeans for him to eat, but I could never find that feeling again.

When they returned to the Friendship Hotel, Lu Tianxian went home to report that Zhang Yang, Liu Zhi and Wang Jiang also wanted to send the things they bought in Japan home, so they asked him for leave to go home for a few days.

There is nothing to do now, so Su Budong went around the construction site by himself.

The construction site is hot now, and the workers greet him when they see him coming.

People are still simple now. Under the publicity of Lu Tian and others, the workers all knew that Su Budong was a Chinese who returned to China and came back to build the motherland. In addition, Su Budong often bought some beer and braised meat to improve their food, so they did not have the kind of dissatisfaction with the capitalists. Instead, they greeted him, the big boss, very familiarly.

The foreman Lao Wang came here at this time, invited him into the shed, and poured him a cup of hot water.

"Have you returned from Japan?" Lao Wang said.

"Well, I brought you some Japanese wine, you can try it in the evening. There are some other Japanese specialties, you and your brothers." Su Budong handed him a Chinese stick and helped him order it.

"You are still thinking about us from such a long distance, so why do you bring back something?" When Lao Wang heard it was a Japanese thing, he was a little surprised, but he smiled and took everything away.

“How is the construction site?”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely not delay your business." Lao Wang took a sip of cigarettes and looked at the construction site outside.

"I and these brothers built up Wangfujing bit by bit. It is earthquake-resistant and durable. The red Rakshasa drawings are all used, so don't worry." Lao Wang said with a smile.

"I think this place will definitely not be worse than Wangfujing in the future." Su Budong said with a smile.

"Of course." Lao Wang said confidently. "As soon as August, the first phase of the project here will be completed. At that time, the interior decoration will be left."

"Old Wang, then you can help me build another parking lot at the door." Su Budong drew a piece in front of the door.

"Su Budong's attitude is so big? It's too wasteful. You can't use so many bicycles." Lao Wang saw Su Budong's attitude and wanted to draw a mile of land into a parking lot.

"It's not only bicycles, but also cars. Here is a pedestrian street in the future, so it's impossible for them to ride bicycles or drive through." Su Budong said looking at the blueprint.

"It's enough for you to put the cars in the whole capital." Lao Wang put out the cigarette and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you say."

After chatting with Lao Wang, Su Budong went to Wangfujing Department Store. He also had to inspect Wangfujing Department Store. Now the department stores are state-owned. He wants to have food, clothing, housing and transportation near Zhongguancun in the future, so he is preparing to build it together. Now see if it is possible to join Wangfujing Department Store and introduce their people here. That is, the real estate belongs to him. He only collects rent every month, and the other income belongs to Wangfujing Department Store.

The first phase of the project Lao Wang just mentioned is a door-front room on the roadside of Zhongguancun. There are also some restaurant designs in the science and technology building opposite Renmin University of China. Except for the science and technology buildings that people like me have entered, they all have to be rented out.

Relying on the borrowed permanent bicycle, Su Budong rode to Wangfujing. The day in the capital was really blue, and there weren’t many cars on the road, and he didn’t hear any smog at all. Su Budong relied on his strong body and just thought it was riding a bicycle to exercise. However, riding from Zhongguancun to Wangfujing still made Su Budong very tired. The main road was too bumpy, so it was not as easy to walk as the ring road in later generations.

When I arrived at the place, I parked the car and locked it. I told the car to go to the department store.

It's work time now, and not many people come here. However, there are workers and cadres who are working in reverse to visit here, and some couples who are preparing to get married come to buy some daily necessities. Su Budong just check it out first.

Compared with Ginza, Wangfujing Department Store at this time is not only not fashionable, but also has such a rustic style. The things are placed behind the glass counter, not in the open style. The salesperson also ignores you.

The salesmen at this time were all very awesome, and they couldn't be a salesperson here if they didn't have any small connections at home.

At the counter selling women's clothes, a young girl in jeans quarreled with the salesperson, and there was a circle of people around her.

"Why are you, comrade, talking like this? Didn't I just want to see that dress?" The girl spoke in a Jinan accent in Shandong Province, making Su Budong look sideways.

"What's wrong?" Su Budong asked the people around him fluently about Beijing films. The people watching the fun knew that the people around him were Little Japanese devils, so he said to him: "It seems that this girl wants to see the clothes behind the counter. The salesperson thought she was too rustic and was afraid that she wouldn't show her clothes. The two started arguing."

Su Budong looked at the side face of the girl in Lu Province. He saw that it didn't matter. I'll go, isn't this Gong Li? I suddenly felt that the world was really wonderful.

At this time, Gong Li was not as international as she would in the future, but instead brought the simplicity of the big girl in Lu Province.

"Do you have money? You can do it if you want to see clothes. Give me the money first." The salesperson refused to give up.

"Where is the reason to pay for clothes first?" Gong Li felt that the salesperson was too bullying.

At this time, the manager of their department store came and asked what happened. The salesperson added fuel to the fire and told the manager this way. When the manager saw that he was a ignorant Lu Sheng Tu Niu, he wanted to let her go, so he frowned and said, "Girl, we have regulations here. If you want to see clothes, you have to have money to buy them. Do you have money to buy them?"

Gong Li was stunned when she heard this. Why did she really have such regulations? So she stammered: "I don't, but I want to see the clothes..."

At this time, Su Budong couldn't listen anymore. Is there any other way to the king? He looked down on the people. So he walked out and took a stack of RMB 100 and said, "Give me all this, that, and that clothes."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Sir, do you want it?" The manager stopped talking when he saw the stack of money.

"I want to buy clothes for my girlfriend, but I have to look at them before buying them. How can I know if they are suitable if they don't look at them? Didn't you just say that you have to see if you have money when you look at clothes? I have money, so I look at clothes." Su Budong also said nonsense.

There were more onlookers, and they all felt unfair for Gong Li in their hearts.
