During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, this was a British concession.
In the old days, there was a saying called "Shili Foreign Market", which refers to the various architectural styles here, including British classical style, French classical style, Gothic style, Baroque style, Eastern Indian style, Chinese and Western fusion style, etc.
Many complex styles are mixed together, giving this Shili foreign market a new title, "Architecture Expo of All Nations".
For tourists with historical and cultural heritage, taking a tour here is almost like experiencing a historical change.
Unfortunately, there are too few such tourists.
Lin Miaomiao and Deng Xiaoqi, as natives of Jiangzhou, have visited here countless times, and there is no sense of historical heaviness.
Su Mingzhe accompanied the two girls, walking around.
This time, Su Mingzhi behaved.
When the two girls went shopping, Su Mingzhe directly gave the clerk his home address.
Ask the store clerk to deliver your purchases directly to your home.
In this case, Su Mingzhe feels relaxed and does not need to hang bags all over his body and make himself miserable.
Girls don't go shopping very fast, and the sales clerks here on the Bund are very talkative.
It's hard to walk out of a store in less than ten minutes.
At around five o'clock, the three of them entered a Chinese clothing brand store.
Deng Xiaoqi fell in love with a blue hollow cheongsam with high slits on the recommendation of the clerk. She gestured in the mirror and felt a little happy:
"Miaomiao, what do you think of me wearing this cheongsam?"
Deng Xiaoqi is 1.7 meters tall and weighs just over 80 kilograms. She wears a cheongsam that shows off her curvy figure.
"Quite beautiful."
Lin Miaomiao was a little envious of Deng Xiaoqi's good figure. She was 1.65 meters tall, a forehead shorter than Deng Xiaoqi, and weighed more than ten kilograms more.
Moreover, Lin Miaomiao's shoulders are a bit broad and her waist is not too thin. If she wears a cheongsam, it will obviously not fit her well.
Of course, this is just what Lin Miaomiao thinks.
In fact, since last summer vacation, Lin Miaomiao has been practicing with Su Mingzhe, and her physical fitness has been strengthened, and her skeleton is slowly changing towards a slender female form.
Now her body curves are equally graceful. Although not as exaggerated as Deng Xiaoqi's, they are still exquisite and graceful.
"Come on, let's put it on together."
The two girls went to the fitting room and changed into cheongsams.
Deng Xiaoqi's figure is really good, especially her tall waist and slender legs, which makes her even more charming.
Lin Miaomiao is not bad either, but she wears glasses, which doesn't match the cheongsam.
Su Mingzhe reached out and took off the eyes on the bridge of her nose, took a picture and gave it to Lin Miaomiao to see for herself.
Deng Xiaoqi also praised:
"Miaomiao, you look good in a cheongsam. You look like a female student from the Republic of China."
"Yeah?"
Lin Miaomiao was praised by her boyfriend and her girlfriend, so she immediately bought a cheongsam with Deng Xiaoqi without looking at the price.
The three of them walked and shopped together.
After walking for more than three hours, it was getting dark and I hadn’t visited many shops yet.
Su Mingzhe was already a little tired from walking. He smelled the fragrance in front of him and quickly suggested:
"Miaomiao, Xiaoqi, there is a night market in front, let's go have barbecue."
"Okay, I know a delicious barbecue restaurant, I will take you there."
Deng Xiaoqi lived nearby and was familiar with the roads, so she led the two of them to a barbecue stall.
The boss is bald and looks tough, while the wife is an old lady who still has charm.
Their daughter came over with a menu and asked the three of them to order.
Lin Miaomiao skillfully ordered the skewers.
Su Mingzhe asked for a cold beer.
Deng Xiaoqi asked for an iced drink.
Before the skewers were served, the three of them had a drink of edamame and peanuts.
The three of them were eating skewers and chatting away from each other.
However, most of the time, it was Deng Xiaoqi who did the talking, talking about family, tutoring, travel, etc.
After entering high school, Lin Miaomiao had Su Mingzhe to help her with her homework, so she never participated in a tutoring class.
Deng Xiaoqi was not so lucky. Starting from elementary school, she basically spent weekends and holidays in tutoring classes.
Occasionally, when I have a break, my mother, Deng Xinhua, will take me to some song and dance party, hoping to broaden my horizons.
It can be said that Deng Xiaoqi's daily life is far less beautiful than she usually appears.
Lin Miaomiao actually hides a lot of secrets in her heart and wants to share them with her best friends.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
There is no way, her secrets are very important, and if she tells them now, it will be too easy to shock the world.
The two girls chatted for a while. Perhaps Deng Xiaoqi felt that Su Mingzhe was being left out, so she asked him:
"By the way, Azhe, I heard that [Bionic Master] is going to have a second generation?"
"It's not the second generation, it's a new series."
Su Mingzhe said, opened the photo album on his mobile phone and showed Deng Xiaoqi a picture:
"The three models launched last year are the basic model, the fire model, and the wasp model. This year, the ice dragon model, the tiger shark model, and the swordfish model are launched. If you want to play, find time and let Miaomiao accompany you to play.
A handful."
"it's beautiful!"
Deng Xiaoqi looked at the photos of the new "Bionic Master" with envy in her eyes.
Nowadays, the toys that the rich play with are no longer limited to luxury cars, airplanes, and cruise ships.
[Bionic Master] has become the new favorite of the rich.
[Bionic Master] has various high configurations, and the starting price from the factory is more than one million.
Foreign speculators even made as much as three to four million.
Ordinary people really can't afford it.
This time, the Su Group has found the right positioning for "Bionic Master" and created a lot of cool gameplay and various epoch-making sci-fi shapes.
What Deng Xiaoqi saw was the blue ice dragon model, and another question came to her mind:
"Azhe, the new model has come out, will the old model from last year still be sold?"
"It will definitely continue to be sold."
Su Mingzhe laughed and said:
"In the future, [Bionic Master] will release twelve series. Last year, three series were released. Three new series will be launched today, and three new series will be launched next year. The year after tomorrow, all twelve series will appear.
, the company will unify the system upgrade and launch the second generation..."
As a standard businessman, Su Mingzhe knows how to continuously draw money from customers.
Obviously there are only three generations of technology in hand, but after such operations, at least the "Bionic Master" can sell new models in twelve years.
"This is nothing but treachery!"
Lin Miaomiao joked that although she understood the storage technology practices of technology companies, she was still a little upset that she could not play the latest models.
Su Mingzhe and Lin Dawei discussed the detailed data of the second and third generations of Bionic Master at home.
Among them, the second generation [Bionic Master] already has the ability to glide and fly briefly.
The third generation [Bionic Master] is already comparable to the drones currently on the market and can be controlled remotely by humans.
Imagine when the hospital emergency center is equipped with the third generation [Bionic Master].
When a patient has an emergency, he is placed in the [Bionic Master], activated with one click, and automatically transported to the nearest emergency hospital in the air.
How much time can be avoided by doing this.
In addition to hospitals, there are various other industries that also require these technologies.
The only trouble now is that it is expensive.
Today, the ex-factory price of the first-generation basic model is 500,000.
The second-generation basic model is expected to sell for 1 million.
The third-generation basic model is more expensive, and the ex-factory price may be as high as 1.5 million.
Ordinary people, or even average institutions, may not have the money to purchase the third generation [Bionic Master].
Unless... Su Group gives them a discount.
After the three of them had dinner, Deng Xiaoqi invited them to her home.
After knowing each other for more than two years, Deng Xiaoqi went to see Lin Miaomiao more than a dozen times, but Lin Miaomiao had never been to Deng Xiaoqi's house.
Deng Xiaoqi led the two of them to their flat-floor sea-view room.
Lin Miaomiao entered Deng Xiaoqi's house and was attracted by the oversized living room.
"Xiao Qi, your family is too big. Is your family the only one on this floor?"
"yes."
Although Deng Xiaoqi didn't want to show off, she was still a little happy to see the shocked look on her best friend's face.
Walking into the living room, Lin Miaomiao saw the huge floor-to-ceiling windows again, and couldn't help being surprised again:
"There are floor-to-ceiling windows! Standing in your home, you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower!"
Deng Xiaoqi was about to share other decorations of her home with Lin Miaomiao when she heard her mother Deng Xinhua's voice coming from the bedroom:
"Xiaoqi, are you back?"
"Mom, it's me."
Deng Xiaoqi didn't expect that her mother would come back so early today. After thinking about it, she said again: "I'll bring two friends over to sit at home."
"Two friends? A boy and a girl?"
Deng Xinhua was drinking with a client yesterday and was a bit shaken. When she woke up this morning, she found that she felt unwell. She went to the hospital to get an intravenous drip before going home to rest.
"It's my good friends Miaomiao and Azhe."
Deng Xiaoqi introduced it.
When Deng Xinhua heard that it was Lin Miaomiao and Su Mingzhe, she quickly changed into more formal clothes and walked out of the bedroom, regardless of her physical weakness.
Su Mingzhe and Lin Miaomiao had to say hello to her.
Deng Xiaoqi realized that her mother was a little weak, so she quickly came over and helped her sit on the sofa.
"Mom, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
"I have a slight cold. I've had injections and medicine."
Deng Xinhua dealt with her daughter for a while, then cheered up and started chatting with Su Mingzhe.
Nowadays, Su Group is a leading enterprise in Jiangzhou City and even a star enterprise in the country.
Having the opportunity to chat with Su Mingzhe is definitely a rare opportunity for a socialite like Deng Xinhua.
It would be even better if we could make an appointment.
It's a pity that Su Mingzhe is too young and he is too old.
My daughter's age is quite suitable.
However, Deng Xinhua does not want her daughter to follow her own path.
Su Mingzhe is not stupid. He chatted with Deng Xinhua for a few words and felt that every word she said was utilitarian.
This is very boring.
After chatting for a few words, Su Mingzhe said not to disturb Deng Xinhua's rest and left with Lin Miaomiao.
Deng Xinhua couldn't find anything to say to persuade him to stay, so he could only watch the two of them leave.
For a moment, Deng Xinhua felt a little broken inside.
This is because the opportunity is obviously passing in front of him, but he can't reach out to grab it, so he can only watch the opportunity slip away.
