Five hundred and seventieth eighth chapter looking for love one
The South Railway Station, which is slightly less popular than the North Beijing Railway Station and the West Railway Station, is undoubtedly the hub of China's high-speed rail. Hundreds of thousands of people take trains from here to all parts of the country every day.
The delegation led by Yang Chen and more than 30 Indian media reporters poured out from the waiting hall spanning more than a dozen platforms. When they went down the escalator to the platform, they could feel the spectacle of bullet trains waiting to depart.
“So handsome!”
“The high-speed rail is great!”
The black people in the mission were full of praise.
Indian reporters tried their best to suppress their inner shock and did not want to reveal the slightest bit. Some still pretended to be disdainful and said to their companions in a serious manner: "This is for foreigners. Their ordinary trains are far behind ours. Ten years ago, a friend of mine took the train
However, the carriage has no windows, no seats, and only two doors. When the two doors are closed, the carriage is full of stench, crowded, and dark, like a prison."
Another person nodded with deep understanding: "A country that is unrealistic about saving face. This country has no friends. It makes enemies everywhere, encroaching on other countries' lands and seas. Last year, it crossed the border and invaded our Arunasser State dozens of times. It was rude and arrogant.
.”
"No, you are wrong. This country has two friends. One is Pakistan, which exports terrorism to the world, and the other is North Korea, a rogue country. To borrow their words... Birds of a feather flock together.
"
"Well said!"
The two of them were walking and chatting, smiling proudly.
Yang Chen heard it clearly and was dismissive of the slander and prejudice of these two people. He even hoped that India would be full of people like this who sit in a well and watch the sky.
If you don't know how strong your opponent is, you won't have a sense of crisis.
Neighbors who lack a sense of crisis and are stuck in their ways are unlikely to be successful and are in line with the strategic interests of the Republic.
Yang Chen led the delegation to ride in a first-class carriage, with four seats in each row. It was much more comfortable than the economy class of an airplane. The carriage was clean, tidy and modern.
Both teams were accompanied by people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Arctic Fox team did not follow Yang Chen, but flew to Shanghai first to cooperate with the large number of manpower Yang Chen had recently deployed in Shanghai to search for clues about Nalan Tongtong.
Yang Chen stared out of the car window, thinking about Nalan Tongtong, and secretly vowed to find Xiao Nizi this time and let her know how important she was to him.
The train started slowly. After leaving the station, the speed became faster and faster, and finally stabilized at between 250 and 300 kilometers per hour. Most of the "foreigners" in the carriage were moved, especially the expressions of the Indian reporters, who gradually became solemn.
The dispute between dragon and elephant deliberately hyped by the West has caused them to develop a abnormal comparison mentality. In addition, these reporters come to China for the first time in ten cases, and they bring with them deep-rooted prejudices and a sense of superiority of the largest democratic country.
When this prejudice is abruptly reversed by reality, and when the huge sense of superiority is strongly impacted by the real China, they will definitely not feel comfortable with their self-righteousness.
Along the high-speed rail line, stretches of highways intersect and intersect, and the villages and towns appear to these Indian reporters to be unimaginably clean and affluent.
The train crossed the Yangtze River and entered the prosperous Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas. The Indian reporters felt the shock even more intensely. They looked at the scenery outside the train with extremely complicated expressions and eyes. No one comforted themselves with the honorable project anymore. As well-known Indian media people, they have suffered
Elite education, having studied abroad, I am not a fool. What I saw and heard during this trip, I know clearly whether it is a face-saving project.
After nearly five hours, the train entered Shanghai.
Shanghai, the Paris of the East, this metaphor originated from the French Concession in Shanghai during the colonial period, which means... the prosperity of old Shanghai is comparable to Paris.
Therefore, in modern history, Shanghai's global reputation is higher than that of Beijing.
In the 1990s, the Indian government proposed that Mumbai catch up with Shanghai within 20 years.
This slogan caused an uproar across India and made Indians realize that Shanghai is still glorious. However, the vast majority of Indians can only measure the prosperity of Shanghai by the current situation in Mumbai. They are like beggars who eat chaffy vegetables when they are hungry. They think that the rich eat every day
The steamed buns are soaked in broth, not knowing that there are three delicacies of the sea in the world, and a Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet.
As a result, the Indian reporters who first visited the magical city of Shanghai were once again severely stimulated. The difference between the Shanghai in front of them and the Shanghai they had imagined before was so great that they were at a loss what to do.
“Shanghai’s infrastructure is simply perfect.”
"This is not a developing country, this is a developed country!"
"I have lived in New York for three years, and it seems that Shanghai is no worse than New York."
On the luxury bus that picked up the bus, Indian reporters whispered to each other. What surprised them most was that there were no slums and any pedestrian on the road would be considered well-dressed, even if they were from India.
Where are the beggars? Where are the poor?
"I heard... I just heard... that they did not allow the poor to move freely into the big cities, and also imprisoned beggars. When the Beijing Olympics... they drove 200,000 aborigines to build venues.
Great Northwest Relocation." The guy who had been pretending to be disdainful at this time obviously lacked confidence.
"Fortunately, they don't have democracy." Someone mentioned democracy. The people in the car nodded in relief, and their solemn expressions faded a little.
Democracy seems to be a good medicine to enhance their self-confidence, but they do not know that democracy must be gradual, and the national system and people's consciousness cannot keep up. Excessive democracy will inevitably produce bitter and negative consequences.
The Westland Mission took another bus, two buses in tandem, from Hongqiao Railway Station to the Peace Hotel on the Bund. The Peace Hotel, the first modern-style building in Greater Shanghai, has a history of more than 100 years, facing Pudong.
Lujiazui Financial Center offers a panoramic view of the most spectacular buildings on both sides of the Huangpu River.
Yang Chen led the delegation out of the car and looked at the expressions of the Indian reporters. Knowing that they were watching all the way, he felt uncomfortable. He shifted his gaze and looked at the skyscrapers on the other side of the Huangpu River, murmuring: "Tongtong, I'm here."
………………………
Shanghai World Financial Center.
The flat-topped skyscraper next to Jin Mao Tower.
With a height of 492 meters, it has become one of Shanghai's landmarks. The daily rent for this office-based skyscraper exceeds 20 yuan per square meter.
Twenty yuan doesn’t sound like much. If you calculate it carefully based on this price, renting a 100-square-meter office would cost at least 60,000 yuan a month. Most of the companies that move in here are over a thousand square meters, and some rent one or two floors. In addition to the rent, they also need
Pay a monthly property fee of 60 yuan per square meter and high water and electricity bills.
Small businesses simply can't afford it.
This is a place where Fortune 500 companies show off their status.
The Asian investment department of Goldman Sachs is located here. As the world's top investment bank, even its branches are still high-end and have a well-built working environment that countless high-paid white-collar workers dream of. The company's restaurant is even as good as the cafeteria of the Park Hyatt Hotel upstairs.
Swipe your employee card to enter.
There are not many types of Western-style buffets, but they are exquisitely prepared. Each employee can enjoy Haagen-Dazs ice cream for free. Elite men and women in professional attire elegantly take food or dine, chatting quietly.
"Ah owe...ah owe..."
The sound of sneezing suddenly came from the chic sofa booth in the corner of the restaurant, which immediately touched the hearts of the men nearby, and they all cast concerned glances.
The sneezing girl slowly raised her head, showed her stunningly beautiful face to everyone, smiled awkwardly, and cursed the bad guy for talking about her behind her back.
