Reborn in the red age

Chapter 243 Trip to the Special Administrative Region
At this time, Pengcheng was not the "Silicon Valley of China" in later generations. It was now just a slightly larger factory gathering area. An airport had not yet been built. Qingfeng Li's plane landed at Yangcheng Airport and took a convoy sent by the game console factory to greet him and headed to Shenzhen. .

As the first area to come into contact with foreign investment, Yangcheng's local infrastructure is doing well. Yangcheng Airport is one of the largest airports in the country, comparable in size to the Sijiucheng Airport.

This was Li Qingfeng's first time coming to the Special Administrative Region, and he was full of curiosity about everything from the moment he got off the plane.

He took off his cotton coat, put on the custom-made suit before putting it on, and looked around curiously at the surrounding environment.

Compared with the Chinese tunic suits and homemade clothing worn by the people in 49 cities, people here in the special zone wear more suits and ready-made clothes, and the colors on women's clothes are more bright and bold.

On the way to the exit of the station, Li Qingfeng saw a lot of short skirts and stockings, which was something that could not be seen on the street in Forty-Nine City.

As soon as I walked out of the station, I saw a banner held high in the distance. It said in yellow fonts "Warmly welcome the chairman to come to the special zone to inspect the work!" Under the banner, there was also a line of small words "Peng, a subordinate of Lemon Company" City Game Console Factory”.

Under the banner, in addition to a large group of people in suits and ties, there is also a well-equipped lion dance team. The gongs and drums and other musical instruments have been set up over there, and they can start playing music at any time. I don’t know how the airport allows the lion dance team. Come in.

When the passengers passing by saw this grand scene, they couldn't help but stop where they were and look over there curiously.

When Qingfeng Li saw this situation, he was so embarrassed that he almost dug out a three-bedroom apartment with three bedrooms and one living room on the ground. Whose idiot had come up with this idea.

Hearing that shout, Qingfeng Li's heart skipped a beat. Before he could react, he was surrounded by a large group of people. A garland was immediately placed around his neck, and a huge bouquet was brought up. To the sound of gongs and drums, the yellow lion swung its buttocks and danced in front of Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li didn't wait for the sound of gongs and drums to stop. He lowered his head and carried his suitcase and walked quickly towards the outside of the airport. A group of people from the game console factory hurriedly followed.

"Ah, okay, okay, Chairman, I will ask them to stop and leave immediately." Lu Fusheng was frightened by Qingfeng Li's sudden reprimand, and quickly nodded in fear and agreed, facing the staff behind him, anxiously He urged: "Quick, quick, quick, let the lion dancer stop."

However, among the people who came to greet them, some were transferred from the Xiangjiang headquarters. Qingfeng Li was recognized when he was still more than ten meters away from them.

After leaving the airport and getting rid of the passers-by who had just gathered around, Qingfeng Li's embarrassment somewhat subsided.

Glancing at the convoy of Land Cruisers, Li Qingfeng ignored Lu Fusheng, picked up his luggage, and walked quickly towards the convoy.

Glancing at Factory Director Lu who was sweating profusely, Li Qingfeng said angrily: "Where is the car?"

"You Xiao Chen, you are doing a lion dance and giving flowers. Just wait for me. Go back and see how I deal with you." Lu Fusheng, who was behind the crowd, pointed angrily at a man wearing glasses next to him. the young man scolded.

"You still dare to quibble with you? Please pray to me that the chairman will not be angry. If the chairman is angry, you will be ready to pack your things and leave."

Facing the envy, jealousy, adoration and other looks of passers-by, even a thick-skinned Qingfeng Li felt a little ashamed. He avoided the sight of passers-by, lowered his head and scolded angrily: "Let the lion dancers disperse quickly, the airport is What are you doing like this in a public place? Leave now."

The road conditions these days are too bad, and the chassis of the car is too low, so it can only be driven in the city. When you leave the city, the car will stall after it cannot run very far. An SUV with a high chassis like the Land Cruiser is suitable. Domestic road conditions.

This scene was so shameful that Qingfeng Li didn't dare to admit that they were here to greet him. He lowered his head and walked through the exit of the station while carrying his suitcase and pretending not to recognize them.

"Not yet" Lu Fusheng was stunned for a moment and quickly replied.

Lu Fusheng left these words without looking at Xiao Chen's frightened face, and hurriedly chased after Qingfeng Li, wanting to make amends for what had just happened and save his impression in the chairman's heart.

Before getting into the car, Li Qingfeng stopped and turned to look at Lu Fusheng: "Have you paid the salary for the lion dance team just now?"

"Hurry up and give them the amount you told them in advance. No deductions are allowed."

With a shout of "The chairman is here", the lion dance team received the order and immediately began to beat the gongs and drums around Qingfeng Li.

Xiao Chen pushed up his glasses and said aggrievedly: "Director Lu, you really can't blame me for this. Lion dancing is the highest etiquette in our village. I also combined it with sending flowers, which is popular in Xiangjiang. I don't know if Chairman I don’t like this way of greeting you.”

To Qingfeng Li, this scene was tantamount to being executed in public.

"Where, where?" Lu Fusheng from behind quickly came to Li Qingfeng's side, pointed to a row of motorcades not far away, and said with a smile: "Chairman, leave your luggage to me, I will help you carry it. "

"Hello, Chairman, I am Lu Fusheng, the director of the game console factory. Thank you for your hard work along the way." Lu Fusheng bowed slightly and stood in front of Qingfeng Li, with an eager smile on his face and said respectfully.

"Okay, okay, I'll make arrangements now."

What just happened did not affect Li Qingfeng's curiosity about Yangcheng. He sat in the Land Cruiser and curiously looked at the streets outside through the car window.

At this time, Yangcheng was like a big construction site, with large-scale construction projects going on everywhere, and various buildings being built everywhere. There were also many more than ten-story high-rise buildings that had been built for occupancy. Compared with other cities in the country, it was full of vitality, which gave Li The breeze is a feeling of vitality and everything is competing.

Li Qingfeng was very interested in seeing red taxis with red cars and lights on their roofs passing by on Yangcheng Street from time to time, stopping to pick up passengers.

"Chairman, this is the car of the Baiyun Taxi Company jointly established by Mr. Liu, the chairman of Xiangjiang Julongge Restaurant a few years ago. There were 300 vehicles at the beginning, and many more vehicles have been added in recent years." Also sitting Lu Fusheng, who was in the back seat, saw that Qingfeng Li was interested in taxis and quickly introduced him.

"Oh, can ordinary people take these taxis? Are they charged in RMB or foreign exchange?"

"Everyone can ride. The price is RMB. The starting price is 1.5 yuan. The meter starts jumping after 3 kilometers and the price is 0.5 yuan per kilometer. You can also call to book a ride. The service is 24 hours a day." After listening to Lu Fusheng's introduction, Li Qingfeng I sighed in my heart that the special zone deserves to be called a special zone. In the capital and the magic city, taxis only served foreign guests, but here in the special zone, we have realized parking on the roadside, metered fares, phone booking, and 24-hour service. Modern taxi model.

Looking silently at the scenery outside the street, Li Qingfeng suddenly became very interested in the city of Yangcheng.

There is no rush to deal with Wang Weimin's matter. Today you can walk around Yangcheng and see the progress of reform and opening up.

After making up his mind, Li Qingfeng turned to look at Lu Fusheng and said, "Director Lu, I'm not in a hurry to go back today. I want to take a walk around Yangcheng. It won't affect your work schedule, right?"

"There will be no impact at all. All work tasks have been arranged before coming here. Chairman, you can rest assured that it will not affect the operation of the factory. I happen to be very familiar with Yangcheng. I can be your tour guide."

The chairman proposed to go around Yangcheng. Lu Fusheng, the subordinate small factory director, must fully cooperate. Not to mention that it has been arranged, even if it means delaying the subsequent work, he must meet the needs of the big boss.

"Okay, leave a few people to accompany me around. The other comrades can go back first. The work in hand is important."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away"

Lu Fusheng said as he took the car's wireless intercom from the driver and informed the vehicle behind him that the itinerary had changed. He left one bodyguard behind and the others returned to Pengcheng.

Wireless walkie-talkies are not a rare thing. Commercial walkie-talkies were launched on the market as early as the 1950s and 1960s. Taxis in Yangcheng are also equipped with these devices to facilitate timely contact.

The convoy was divided into two. Li Qingfeng took a car of bodyguards and wandered around Yangcheng, while the others returned to Pengcheng.

Lu Fusheng did not fool Li Qingfeng. He was indeed very familiar with Yangcheng. Along the way, he kept introducing new things in Yangcheng in recent years.

I took Qingfeng Li to visit many places in Yangcheng, such as the first four-city interchange in the mainland, the first commercial street in the mainland, the first amusement park in the mainland, the first supermarket in the mainland, the first commercial housing complex in the mainland, etc. It all went around in a circle.

The car stopped at the entrance of Donghu Xincun, the first commercial housing community in the country. Qingfeng Li got out of the car and sighed repeatedly as he looked at the commercial housing community covering an area of ​​more than 30,000 square meters.

"Chairman, the community of Donghu New Village was built the year before last. There are 25 8-story buildings and 2 16-story buildings in it. It is close to East Lake Park. The scenery is very good. The top floor is a duplex and the decoration is very good." Lu Fusheng was one step behind Qingfeng Li and introduced Qingfeng Li to the situation of the community in Donghu New Village.

Looking at the luxuriously dressed residents coming in and out of the community, Qingfeng Li lit a cigarette and asked: "What is the price per square meter in this community?"

"The houses inside have been sold out. When it was first launched in Xiangjiang, the price was about 700 Hong Kong dollars. In the mainland market, it should be yuan per square meter. The sales were extremely hot. All the houses were sold out within a few months."

Hearing this house price, Li Qingfeng secretly sighed. It is true that rich people can sell all such expensive houses at any time.

The house price of 700 yuan per square meter is sky-high for ordinary people today. As a doctor, Hu Jiabao belongs to a high-income group. His monthly salary is only more than 50 yuan, and the average salary of ordinary workers is only about yuan.

With a house price of 700 per square meter, it would take an ordinary worker fourteen months to buy one square meter without food or water.

Lu Fusheng, who had been secretly observing Qingfeng Li's expression, noticed that Qingfeng Li was interested in the house in Donghu New Village. He stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Chairman, I have a friend who has the top-floor apartment in this community. After buying it, You haven’t checked in yet. If you are interested, I can contact you.”

"No need, I'm just interested in the first commercial housing in the country and have no plans to move in." Li Qingfeng shook his head and had no plans to buy real estate here. No matter how famous it is, it's just a community. As long as Li Qingfeng Qingfeng thought, he could buy a piece of land and build himself a huge villa at any time. Isn't a villa more comfortable than a building?

Qingfeng Li lost interest after just one glance and continued to drive around Yangcheng under the leadership of Lu Fusheng.

That night Li Qingfeng and others stayed at the White Swan Hotel, the first five-star hotel in the Mainland. A one-night stay in a five-star hotel is expensive. The one-night accommodation fee for Li Qingfeng and others was US$200. According to the black market rules, Calculating the exchange rate, nearly 1,600 yuan in RMB is simply not something ordinary people can spend.

After checking into his room that cost 70 US dollars a night, Li Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction. The price was a bit expensive, but the decoration inside was indeed luxurious. There was even a computer produced by Lemon Company for people to use. Overall To me, it's worthy of the price.

After a simple rest and refusing the hotel's food delivery service, Qingfeng Li chose to go to the restaurant to eat in person.

After eating a standard Cantonese meal, Li Qingfeng specially ordered a French baguette.

It is said that every time the chief designer comes to the White Swan Hotel, he has to spend his own money to buy some French bread. Qingfeng Li also wants to try how delicious this stuff is. Even the chief designer can't forget it. Is it better than a state banquet? eat?

After the hard bread arrived, Li Qingfeng tasted it and had only one thought in his mind: the old man's teeth were very good.

The next day, Li Qingfeng, who had finished his trip to Yangcheng, took a Land Cruiser from the game console factory and headed towards Pengcheng with Lu Fusheng and others.

The two places were more than 100 kilometers apart, and the road conditions were not bad. Qingfeng Li did not feel too many bumps. Three hours later, the Land Cruiser drove into Pengcheng.

At this time, factories can be seen everywhere in Pengcheng, and there are buildings and residences under construction everywhere. People are coming and going on the road, looking in a hurry, and there is no leisurely feeling like other cities in the mainland.

"Chairman, we have entered Pengcheng. Do you think we should go to the factory for inspection first, or go somewhere else first?" In the car, Lu Fusheng looked at Qingfeng Li who was looking out the window and asked tentatively.

Looking away from the car window, Li Qingfeng adjusted his sitting position slightly and said, "Let's go to the factory. Don't we have three factories in the Special Economic Zone? Let's start with your factory first and take me to see each one."

Qingfeng Li was not familiar with Pengcheng, and nothing could be done by going directly to the customs. It would be better to inspect Lemon Company's three factories in Pengcheng and learn about the situation from them.
