The Rebirth of 88s Begins with a Carpenter

  Chapter 364 Spending so much money just for publicity?

   A self-deprecating stinky old nine exposed Lu Wenqing's inner urgency.

  Wu Yuan raised his glass with a smile, took the initiative to touch Lu Wenqing, and said, "Brother Lu, this is actually normal. Pudong is such a large area, so you can't plan it properly?"

Lu Wenqing took a sip, and said somewhat discouragedly: "You don't know, it is said that the higher up intends to invite several foreign design institutes to do planning and design for Pudong. What about Japan, Italy, England, the United States, and France? I don't plan to find our own design institute..."

   Now Wu Yuan understood.

   Lu Wenqing felt that the design company he had just started was like a punch in cotton.

   Missed.

  That's why I was a little depressed.

  Wu Yuan put down the wine cup, and said seriously: "Brother Lu, in fact, if I were the decision maker, I would first invite foreign design institutes to do it, even if it costs some foreign exchange."

"Why?"

   "Brother Lu, what do you think our Pudong development is for?"

   "Why?" Lu Wenqing slapped his thigh anxiously and said, "Oh, hurry up, I'm so anxious."

   "It is to show the outside world our determination to remain open!" Wu Yuan said loudly.

   One word awakened the dreamer.

  Lu Wenqing is a professor of Tongji after all, how could he not think of such a reason.

  Before Wu Yuan made a fool of himself, but also thought he could realize it.

  Lu Wenqing suddenly realized: "So, inviting foreign design institutes to participate in the planning is to expand the influence and let the whole world know that we are on the road of continuing to open up, and we will not waver?"

   Wu Yuan smiled and nodded.

   Lu Wenqing raised his glass in admiration: "Brother Wu, I'm really ashamed of you today. Your vision, your style, I, a teacher who has drunk ink for several years, can't compare."

   This sounds comfortable.

  Wu Yuan drank most of the cup in one go, and Lu Wenqing did it directly.

   Seeing that Wu Yuan still had some left, he directly picked up the wine bottle and said, "It's done, it's done."

   Wu Yuan had no choice but to do it, and let Lu Wenqing continue.

   Then I heard Lu Wenqing go back and add: "Actually, it's not my fault that I don't like those foreign design companies."

  “Many of them are foreigners. They feel that our development is backward and we can’t keep up with all aspects of urban construction technology, so we always keep a little bit of it when designing.”

   "For example, we also want to build a few skyscrapers like New York, and this foreign company quickly stopped us, saying that we would build a 40-50-story building..."

   "Isn't this just looking down on people?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Wu Yuan agreed, "But Brother Lu, with the foreign exchange spent, it is not necessary to use their planning plan. If they only design some high-rise buildings with 40 or 50 floors, the higher-ups will not be able to do so later. We have to find our domestic academicians and experts to find you."

   "Isn't foreign exchange wasted?"

   "So what about white flowers? Just achieve the publicity effect."

  Lu Wenqing said in astonishment: "Is there really someone who dares to waste so much money just for publicity?"

  Wu Yuan took care of picking up vegetables to eat, groaning silently.

   After all, he still plans to spend three to five million yuan to sponsor the Asian Games, just to promote Panpan Furniture.

   After a while, after Lu Wenqing calmed down, his heart suddenly became much brighter.

   "However, I heard that the Oriental Pearl TV Tower designed by Academician Jiang in 1987 landed in Pudong. The specific location is probably near Lanidu, across the river from Puxi."

   That's right.

  In my impression, the construction of the Oriental Pearl Tower kicked off the prelude to the great development of Pudong.

  But the construction of the Oriental Pearl Tower was not started until 1991.

  Tengda Company wants to wait for a decent project, I am afraid it will take some time.

  Since then, Wu Yuan can empathize with Lu Wenqing's urgency.

   After drinking with Brother Lu, Wu Yuan went back, washed up and went to sleep.

  The next morning, it was light rain again.

  The ground that had just been air-dried in the middle of the night was now soaked by the drizzle again, making it slippery and greasy.

  It's not cool.

  But the body temperature has risen significantly.

  It is reflected in the increasingly thin bodies of the beauty-loving women in the streets and alleys.

  Not long after arriving at Tengda Company, Wu Yuan came to Qihua Building at the appointment, accompanied by Fan Bingbing.

  Only this time, instead of inspecting the decoration of our own company, we went to the 12th floor at the request of Werther to listen to the decoration intentions and opinions of the consulate.

  Huang Qiya is not here today.

  But the female translator, Hu Yao, no longer dared to be as arrogant as yesterday, and patiently explained to both parties.

   It's just a matter of decoration, which involves some professional details.

   Hu Yao struggled to turn it over, and it was not easy for Wu Yuan to understand.

   It took almost a whole morning to communicate before forming a rough version of the opinion.

  Wu Yuan let out a long breath when he saw that Fan Bingbing memorized a lot of notes.

   There are so many demands, and when the quotation is made another day, it cannot be lowered, otherwise I am really sorry for our effort today.

   It's near noon, close to meal time.

  As a foreigner, Werther has no intention of keeping a meal.

  The two parties parted ways at the elevator entrance, watching Werther and the others take the elevator downstairs, and Wu Yuan took Fan Bingbing up the other stairs.

  Go straight to the 17th floor.

   Today, there is much more order in this field.

   But there is still a certain distance from what Wu Yuan requested.

  Wu Yuan led Fan Bingbing, starting with the decoration workers entering the site, and talked about it one by one, and combined with the hidden safety hazards in the construction site, they pointed out one by one.

   It took an hour or so to explain a general idea.

  Until there was a rumbling sound in his stomach, Zhao Guohai took the masters to start eating boxed lunches, and then stopped and said: "Let's sort out so much first, and gradually improve it in the future."

  Zhao Guohai came over with two lunch boxes and said, "Boss, aren't our rules too much?"

  Wu Yuan emphasized: "This is the norm! Many of them are for the safety of on-site construction. It is a trivial matter to bump into each other. If you get hurt, how can you explain to your subordinates?"

   Zhao Guohai thought about it carefully, and couldn't help shivering.

   If something happened to the master brought in during his work, it would be useless for him, the contractor, to kneel down to the family members when he went back.

  Similar things have never happened.

   Forget it, wait for the company's specifications to come out, and let's take a look.

   It is not a bad thing to observe what can be observed, put the tools in place, and pay attention to everything.

   After dinner.

  Wu Yuan took Fan Bingbing back to Tenda Company.

  Fan Bingbing immediately put her head down and began to tidy up, taking advantage of the morning communication still vivid in her memory.

  Wu Yuan went back to the office and took a nap. At 2:30, he set off with Ma Mingchao and went straight to the Joffre Road Cafe.

   Stepping into the cafe, pop music from Hong Kong and Taiwan is playing inside.

  It is very suitable for the young people in Shanghai who are at the forefront of opening up and who are particularly flaunting themselves.

  Wu Yuan was about to go to the bar to ask questions, when he saw someone by the window raising his arm and greeting him.

   Except for reporter Liang Luoliang, there is no one else.
