Sunday the 22nd.

The weather was a bit cloudy and the air was humid. Although Shencheng occupied the river and guarded the sea, the wind was not strong.

It always feels very humid here, and my clothes never seem to dry.

We were too tired last night, so the two of us slept together until dawn. It was already past ten o'clock when we were woken up by the phone.

Zhang Yanming answered the call in a daze.

"Hi Zhang, can we come over?"

"NO, Smith, you have to wait for a while, I haven't gotten up yet. Let's meet you at the cafe downstairs later. I'll wash up and come straight down."

"Haha, Zhang, it seems your body still needs training. Then, see you at the coffee shop."

"See you at the cafe."

"I stopped talking so early in the morning that I almost forgot where I was. I was shocked."

Li Wulan rubbed her eyes and complained, lifted the quilt and went to the bathroom without closing the door, and the sound of running water could be heard.

Zhang Yanming stretched himself out and got out of bed, looked at the time, picked up the contract thrown on the floor and put it into his bag, picked up the tissues scattered on the floor into the trash can, picked up the water glass and drank a few mouth.

Li Wulan finished draining the water and started to wash up. Zhang Yanming put on his trousers and pressed his legs to stretch his muscles. He moved his body and did push-ups, squats and jumps on the floor.

After the two of them had finished handling the battlefield and tidied up, they went downstairs to the coffee shop. Smith had almost finished a cup of coffee and was smiling and talking quietly to Angelina. Seeing his beaming expression, he had a very fulfilling night last night.

There are already some people sitting in the coffee shop, most of them are familiar faces that I saw yesterday. They are energetic and accompanied by careful people, showing the essence of the food chain to the fullest.

"Hi." Smith waved his hand.

Zhang Yanming pulled Li Wulan over. Her height attracted a lot of attention.

"Hello." Although she couldn't understand and couldn't communicate, Li Wulan still smiled and waved to Smith and Angelina and said hello.

"No." Angelina waved her hand and replied.

Smith glanced at Zhang Yanming's middle and raised his eyebrows: "Oh my god, Zhang, it's already lunch time. I originally wanted to have your tour guide, so I can go out and have a look today. The Bund, Yintian Road, take a bus Emperor Meow~."

"Okay, I'll take you for a walk after dinner. There's enough time. We'll have dinner at the Chenghuang Temple." Zhang Yanming looked at his phone.

Li Wulan said: "Then I can walk now and I'm not hungry yet. Let's go shopping and find something to eat wherever we are hungry."

"Are you hungry? You guys." Zhang Yanming asked the two Smiths.

"Not yet. I had breakfast and just had dessert."

The eating habit of most Americans is to eat small meals frequently. They eat at any time throughout the day, but not much.

"Okay, let's go, let's go shopping on Yingtian Road."

Zhang Yanming called the waiter to pay the bill, and the four of them walked out to the Bund.

It’s not too far from Licha Hotel across the Suzhou Bridge, about three to four hundred meters, and the scenery along the way is very nice, so I strolled over while admiring it.

"The development of Shencheng began in 1843, when the foreign powers opened our door and forcibly leased this place and began trade and construction. So what you see here now are all buildings from that era.

From here on, the whole area was filled with people from various countries gathering here to make a lot of money and take advantage of everything here for more than a hundred years."

Zhang Yanming briefly introduced the history of this place to two foreign friends.

"Wow, more than a hundred years, it's incredible." Angelina looked at the buildings nearby and marveled.

"In the end you defeated them." Smith patted Zhang Yanming on the shoulder.

The four of them just walked and talked towards the Bund.

"Zhang, I asked around. The houses sold to foreigners in Gubei cost 2,000 U.S. dollars, and the ones sold to foreigners for 1,600 U.S. dollars are much more expensive than the houses you have here."

"It's different. The export houses are all designed by your designers. The construction quality is much better, and the decoration materials are basically imported. The lighting, sanitary ware, and kitchen are all from the best brands in the world. Even the ceramic tiles are from Europe. of.

Including peripheral facilities, security, and video surveillance, our citizens cannot enjoy it. In addition, I will find someone to help me buy new properties, and the price will not be so high."

The export housing market in Gubei went crazy in 1996. For example, Jade Buddha Garden cost more than 2,000 dollars per square meter. However, by 1998, the overall export housing market lost its advantage, and the price began to drop again and again until the government canceled the Export sales.

In fact, developers are having a hard time right now. The vacancy rate is appallingly high. They can't sell anything.

Jade Buddha Garden had a good time. Sales were not a problem at all in 1992. Its occupancy rate was 100%.

"Buy a house and it will slowly increase in value. Our country's commercial housing policy has just begun, and people are waiting to buy a house. You may not understand that desire, but house prices will definitely rise.

Plus, you’ll save a lot of money on hotel stays. It’s easy to calculate.”

For foreigners, it costs more than $100 a night to stay in Licha, which is really expensive.

In the 1990s, those who provided services to foreigners implemented a two-price system, and they were very cautious and ruthless in their approach. Later, I don’t know when they started to reverse course, and started to target Chinese people.

Maybe it's because later on people felt that foreigners just had good food and accommodation, and it was worth spending more money to gain respect.

After visiting the Bund and Yingtian Road, we didn't buy anything. The four of us took a sightseeing bus from Yingtian Road to the Chenghuang Temple. It was a bit far to walk there.

At the moment, there is nothing on the opposite side of the Huangpu River except the TV Tower, and there is nothing interesting to see.

After eating pan-fried pancakes and crab roe buns at the Chenghuang Temple, Smith and Angelina bought some souvenirs, and the four of them took the car back to the hotel.

"You need to go next door to open an account tomorrow, Smith. You have to have the money ready."

"It's ready. Do you need me to get it now?"

"No, no need, just take it over there tomorrow. Uh, Smith, should we open separate accounts or put them together?"

"Does it require a lot of frequent operations? Like those financiers on Wall Street."

"No need, just buy it and sell it at the right opportunity. After spending all the money, we will leave here and go to the capital, to my hometown."

"Period, how long does it take?"

"Next April, no matter what changes or things happen in the meantime, I will insist on selling it in April next year. I also hope you can trust me."

"April? Then go to Hongkong or Lion City? Sure, I understand, I will follow your arrangement. Just deposit mine into your account. There is no need to open a new account. I think this will work. simpler.

If I just wait for the split, will I become a new millionaire?"
