Chapter 810 Hard Vegetables in Wangfujing Restaurant
Liu Lang repeatedly stressed the need to develop national industry in "Problems of the Future of the Country", and even in the coming wave of the tertiary industry, we must develop our own industry, because he was afraid that in the future the country would repeat the old path of its previous life.
Of course, it is too early to mention the real estate issue. Even if private individuals are allowed to purchase land, many people may not be able to afford it. Even if they can afford it, their understanding of real estate is not as good as that of real estate developers on Hong Kong Island.
Still unable to realize the true value of the house.
Real estate developers on Hong Kong Island have long been the first to enter the mainland real estate industry. The Huo family has sold tens of thousands of square meters of land in Wangfujing and built the "China City" designed by Liu Lang. In addition, the Li family, the future richest man in Hong Kong Island,
They also bought the land within the first ring road, but the area was much smaller. In Liu Lang's previous life, they originally bought Wangfujing, but in this life, with Liu Lang's help, the Huo family replaced the Li family.
When passing Wangfujing, Liu Lang stopped the car on purpose, got out of the station and looked at the construction site on the side of the road.
The "Huaxia City" project started construction half a year ago. In addition to the more than 100 million yuan to purchase the land, the construction cost is also nearly 100 million yuan. When completed, it will be a 1,300-meter-long, 70-meter-wide, 3-meter-long building.
A rectangular building fifteen meters high, with two entrances to the east and west
The name is imitated by Xuanwu Gate and Desheng Gate. These two city gates were demolished in the 1950s and 1960s, and not even a brick was left. The design of these two city gates was also thought up by Liu Lang, and was eventually destroyed by fire.
It has been adopted by many countries, and the relevant national departments also recognize this design.
The Huo family attaches great importance to this project, with abundant funds and the support of the state, so the progress is very fast. In half a year, "Xuanwumen" has been almost completed. However, the entire huge gatehouse is covered with tarpaulin, so outsiders cannot see it.
Not inside.
The exterior wall of the shopping mall, which is more than 1,000 meters long and has a modern style, is also under construction. At this rate, the entire building will be completed in about a year, and then the inside will be renovated. This will take another half a year, that is to say
, if nothing else happens, this landmark building in the capital will be completed in the 1990s, and there will be a hundred shops in this building belonging to Liu Lang.
How much will a hundred shops located in the Wangfujing area be worth in twenty years? I'm afraid it will be a few hundred million. And by that time, the rent received by this Huaxia City will be several billion a year. Every inch of land costs money.
It’s not an exaggeration to describe it.
"Liu Lang, let's go to Wangfujing Hotel for dinner."
Wang Zhendong and Shao Mingtao led everyone into the Wangfujing Hotel not far away.
Five years ago, Liu Lang and his parents went to the capital for the first time and met Lu Mingzhi, the director of the Education Commission at the time. Mr. Lu invited Liu Lang and his family to the Wangfujing Hotel and met Mu Xiaohu at that meal. This scene is still vivid today.
Let Liu Lang be vividly remembered.
However, the current Wangfujing Hotel is very different from before. In addition to the much more luxurious decoration, the various dishes are more than twice as expensive.
Liu Lang still remembers that the most expensive stir-fried shrimps five years ago was only more than ten yuan. Now, this dish is ninety-two yuan, but this dish is not the most expensive one. One of them, braised bear paws, costs just over ten yuan.
The price is as high as 182.6 yuan. There are also braised sea cucumbers, steamed turtles, and even a flavored sturgeon, all priced around 150 yuan.
The food is much more expensive, and the wine is no longer cheap. In the past, a bottle of Moutai was ninety-nine yuan, but now it is seventy-two and fast five, which is a seven-fold increase.
At that time, Lu Mingzhi spent more than 60 yuan to treat Liu Lang and his family to a meal, which also included two bottles of Maotai wine. But now, the same table of dishes cannot cost more than 300 to 400 yuan.
Fortunately, the income of the country's people is much higher now than it was then, and the average salary of urban workers has reached more than 300 yuan.
Of course, the dishes Liu Lang looked at were the most expensive dishes in the restaurant, and they were also wild animals. If these dishes appeared in public on the dining table twenty years later, it would be embarrassing, and the police would come to the door.
However, the country does not yet have a wildlife protection law. It will not be passed until the end of the year and will be implemented next year. Therefore, some large restaurants will use these wild animal ingredients to attract customers. Many wealthy people come here just to satisfy their own vanity.
.
"Liu Lang, come here, here is the menu. You can order whatever you want, but it is too late today, so this is just a casual meal. There are many people who want to see you tomorrow, and everyone will be here to help you!"
"Okay, then let me do something casual. Well, let's have some dried tofu in Laotang; some scrambled eggs with tomatoes; some stir-fried cicada pupae...!"
"Wait a minute...Liu Lang, since we are here, let's have a taste. Although we are not as rich as you, we can still have a meal. Come on, that bear paw is a good thing, and most people can't eat it.
Yes, you have to get this."
Wang Zhendong was very angry at Liu Lang. The dishes Liu Lang ordered cost less than ten yuan in total. If you don't want to eat delicious food, you have to eat cheap food?
"Brother Wang, you don't know. We eat meat every day in the United States, and it tastes like nothing in our mouths. Now that we have finally returned to China, we want to eat something light. Those meats are inedible. I just want to eat these. Don't
Don’t eat it!”
Liu Lang shook his head repeatedly.
It's not that Liu Lang wants to eat these, but he really doesn't want to eat those wild animals. It's so good to say that if there is no buying and selling, there will be no killing, but now everyone has not realized this. Liu Lang also blames others from a moral point of view.
, I can only make up a lie.
When Wang Zhendong heard it, it made sense. Liu Lang was now a real billionaire. He had remitted 20 million US dollars a few months ago. He was so rich and had nothing to eat? Maybe he was really tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. Now,
Want it lighter.
"Well, it can't be all these picky things! Waiter, come here!"
A waiter hurried over.
"Mr. Wang, what would you like to order?"
Wang Zhendong spent most of his time in Fucheng, but he also came back from time to time. Once he returned to the capital, he would have dinner with friends. He often went to Wangfujing Hotel, and the general manager who hosted this place was not an ordinary person. He knew Wang Zhendong's background. He asked the waiter
Never neglect the other party.
"You heard about the dishes just now, right? I'll add a steamed large yellow croaker, and this, your specialty, stir-fried chicken tripe, vinegar-threaded pork loin, and, by the way, two bottles of ten-year-old Maotai wine,
The sooner the better!”
"Come on, everyone, wait a moment, it'll be over soon!"
The waiter turned around and left with the menu he took down.
It is already past nine o'clock in the evening, but the Wangfujing Hotel is brightly lit and there are still many people inside, many of whom are foreigners and Hong Kong Islanders. These people are not subject to the restrictions of "daylight saving time" now.
