Chapter 844: The Foreign Land of Ten Miles! The Bund of Shanghai!!

From Yang Ming's understanding.

Around 1978, Shanghai's manufacturing industry was quite complete.

In addition to the bicycles, sewing machines, clocks, radios, etc. that we usually see, there are also integrated circuits like Shanghai.

However, at that time, reporters from Hong Kong went to Shanghai for interviews and visited an integrated circuit factory in Shanghai and reported like this.

The integrated circuit factory in Dongyang was so clean that there was no dust at all. In comparison, the factory in Shanghai was just like a roadside factory. In terms of the factory, most of the products were unqualified and could not be sold.

What does this show?

It shows that Shanghai, as the largest economic city in China, is indeed very complete in terms of manufacturing, and even has integrated circuits that are not valued in China.

However, compared with Dongyang.

The technology in Dongyang, such as integrated circuits, is already similar to the environment after the 1930s and 1940s, but the technology is definitely not as good as that after the 1930s and 1940s. From the factory environment, management, talents, etc., Dongyang is indeed much better.

In recent years, Shanghai has also introduced many modern technologies from Dongyang.

Including, Baosteel in Shanghai, the country began to spend huge amounts of money to enter the steel technology and related equipment of the East in 1977.

Even so, the current Shanghai is still far behind the Shanghai in the next forty years.

Yang Ming and his party visited the car jointly owned by Leland Group and Shanghai.

Yang Ming felt that the management system of Shanghai was indeed very good. Although the efficiency might not catch up with Pengcheng, it was definitely not bad.

Yang Ming and others visited the car and motorcycle jointly owned by Leland Group and Shanghai.

That night.

At the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang and others received Yang Ming again.

In addition to the rich dinner.

After dinner, Yang Ming and others were arranged to go to the Bund in Shanghai.

Since the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Shanghai has been known as the ten-mile foreign land.

And the Bund in Shanghai has always been the most prosperous place in Shanghai.

Now Yang Ming and others are arranged to visit here, just to let Yang Ming see the prosperous Bund in Shanghai.

In his previous life, Yang Ming also came here several times.

At that time, the Bund in Shanghai did not change much, and the biggest change was in Lujiazui opposite.

At that time, Lujiazui was already full of high-rise buildings.

Now Yang Ming and others came here by car.

In addition to seeing many foreign-style buildings, there are also many lights and tourists.

Before 1978, Shanghai, like Guangzhou, often had power outages in the city due to insufficient electricity. In many cases, the lights on the Bund in Shanghai might not be turned on.

It is different now.

The Xiangjiang Electric Company under the Empire Group invested in three power plants in Shanghai. The electricity provided by the three power plants gradually met the electricity needs of Shanghai citizens. It was precisely because of that that Shanghai no longer had frequent power outages like before.

Even so, with the economic development and population increase in Shanghai, as well as the development of factories, electricity is definitely not enough. This means that the power plant invested by the Xiangjiang Electric Company must not only further expand the scale of the power generation unit, but also transmit electricity to Shanghai from other places.

"Boss, it looks really good here." Lin Xiuzhi saw the Bund in Shanghai for the first time.

Although she had seen it on TV and in movies in Hong Kong, and knew that those film companies shot on the Bund in Shanghai, she was still a little surprised to see the real situation here for the first time.

Since the concessions were seized by countries such as Y and F in the 1840s, the Bund has become a sovereign area. Western powers have operated, managed and built concessions in their own way. When commercial banks and financial enterprises have a place on the Bund, they will start to build company buildings. Most of the buildings on the Bund have been rebuilt three or more times.

In the 20th century, due to the development of construction technology and the growth of economic strength, multi-story and high-rise buildings appeared on the Bund, with a variety of styles.

Such as Y country classical style, Y country neoclassical style, Y country Renaissance style Asia Building, Shanghai General Assembly, Huifeng Bank Building, Qiahe Building, etc., as well as F country classical style, F country large residential style, Gothic style, Baroque style, modern Western style, East Indian style, eclectic style, Chinese and Western style, etc., presenting a situation where buildings from all over the world coexist.

Therefore, this group of buildings, which stretches from the Waibaidu Bridge on Suzhou River in the north to Jinling East Road on Zhongshan East 1st Road in the south, is known as the "International Architecture Expo".

These buildings, which combine classicism and modernism, have become the symbol of Shanghai.

"Mr. Yang, that is the Huifeng Bank Building."

Mr. Chen introduced.

Yang Ming naturally knew.

Huifeng Bank was originally very large in Shanghai, so the full name of Huifeng Bank is the Hong Kong Shanghai Huifeng Bank.

It just moved to Hong Kong in 1955.

It was not until 1980 that Huifeng Bank returned to Shanghai and reopened a branch.

Shanghai has always been the financial center of China. It is normal for Huifeng to leave and return to Hong Kong now.

"Mr. Yang, that is the Jardine House."

Jardine House?

That goes without saying.

It would take a long time to talk about the history of Jardine Matheson.

Jardine Matheson Land, now known as the leader of the four major foreign companies in Hong Kong, has long been swallowed up by the Empire Group. It is precisely because of this that Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang and others are so respectful of Sir Yang's arrival in Shanghai.

Yang Ming, a Chinese in Hong Kong, can actually swallow up such a large-scale British bank. It is not something that ordinary people can do.

At this time, these buildings have become history.

Even if they move back, they can't be here.

Moreover, these have long been nationalized.

Since 1978, the Empire Group has sent an inspection team to Shanghai for inspection.

The earliest was the Wharf Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, etc., which have made some investments in Shanghai.

The Bund in Shanghai is still very beautiful at night.

If it develops, the Bund in Shanghai will also have the same night view as Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong.

Along the way, Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang and others introduced Yang Ming.

Yang Ming noticed.

Although there are many tourists here on the Bund, including fashionable Shanghai citizens, there are also some white people.

Since the fight this year, the public security in Shanghai has also improved a lot.

Now that Yang Ming has arrived, safety is the most important thing.

Yang Ming noticed that there are actually many guards around, and even plainclothes are following around. If there are any suspicious people who want to get close to Mr. Yang, they will definitely be the first to take action.

The Bund in Shanghai is 1.5 kilometers long, not very far.

After strolling here.

Yang Ming was going to go back to the Oriental Mandarin Hotel to rest.

Mr. Chen asked someone to take Yang Ming back.

Yang Ming returned to the hotel, took a shower, and sat comfortably on the balcony.

Maybe it was related to his personality. Yang Ming didn't like to be too ostentatious, nor did he like too many people to accompany him.
