Chapter 1654 Even if you are anxious, you will jump over the wall!

Author: Shihanjie

In the late 1980s, Zhapu Road was still a small road surrounded by Shikumen residential houses. At that time, one or two residents took the lead in breaking the wall and opening a catering store.

Unexpectedly, these or two small restaurants brought Zhapu Road into the realm of urban landmarks.

At that time, most of the local catering companies in Shanghai were state-owned, and could no longer meet the needs of citizens in terms of catering, dishes and services.

Many people in Shanghai couldn't find a seat when they went out for dinner on holidays, so they stood by the restaurant tables waiting for others to finish their meals. It can be said that the market demand that emerged in large numbers of private catering companies at that time was already in place.

It emerged in the mid-1980s and flourished in the mid-1990s. As one of the earliest food streets in Shencheng, Zhapu Road was once a well-deserved food and fashion landmark in Shencheng.

Its rise was because it allowed locals to spend less money to have a better environment. It could be eaten in the lobby, in the private room, snacks, home-cooked dishes, or high-end dishes, each with the needs. Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan media once called this place a "micro", "mini" and "luxury" catering street.

By the mid-1990s, there were more than 100 restaurants in Zhapu Road Food Street, and the store decoration was exquisite.

Zhapu Road Food Street is "not conspicuous during the day and showing off its glory at night."

Private restaurants are open one by one, which is already a new thing in itself. Moreover, the constantly renovated dishes, flexible prices and close service are the first to be popular. It is reasonable for citizens to be attracted by them.

The concentrated media coverage added a charming halo to Zhapu Road. At that time, visiting Zhapu Road was not only about dining, but also about enjoying an atmosphere and experiencing a fashion, just like the citizens who liked to go to Aixiu Plaza and Xintiandi in the future.

As we all know, people in Shencheng do not like to stay up late. When the time comes, the lights of thousands of houses in the entire city will be extinguished one after another.

In the mid-1990s, if you fly over Shencheng on a tourist plane at night, you will find that the city in the night is like "lights out" and sleeping.

However, suddenly your eyes lit up and saw a "Lanlong" on the ground that was particularly conspicuous. You couldn't help asking the tour guide what happened to "Lanlong"? The tour guide replied: "This is the famous Zhapu Road Food Street in our Shencheng." You Cong said happily for a while: "After getting off the plane, go to Zhapu Road!"

The food here is concentrated, with large restaurants with five or six floors high and luxuriously decorated, such as the Dynasty and the Great Wall.

There is also a small restaurant with only a few square meters of snack bars. Looking at the shop tips, they are nothing more than dumplings, wontons, rice noodles, ramen, etc.

In short, eating on Zhapu Road is a frugal person, and this is true.

Like business districts, it is difficult for the industry to last forever.

The food street is now at its most prosperous time, but it is also full of dangers and is about to go downhill.

Wang Lin has examined this commercial area from the perspective of experienced people.

The growth bottleneck of Zhapu Road business district is obvious.

The food street has become a favorite because it has seized the market opportunity, but this favorite is "congenital deficiencies".

Restaurants are opened one by one, but water supply, power supply and sewage discharge facilities are mostly "manufactured" in the 1930s and have generally aging. Whenever water and electricity use peaks, it will hurt residents and restaurants.

If a thorough renovation is to be made, a lot of investment is required and the funds are not settled, so minor operations can only be performed on the old facilities, which cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

"Beautiful facade, sloppy backstand."

This was the ridicule of Zhapu Road restaurants at that time, and it also exposed the other side of Zhapu Road's "food landmarks".

The smoke, noise and garbage of the restaurant made the surrounding residents suffer greatly and insecurity. At that time, there was a huge conflict between the residents and the restaurant.

The staff of the street and police station constantly coordinated between the restaurant and the residents, not only to help the restaurant development, but also to maintain the normal living environment of the residents, which was extremely miserable.

Especially later, some restaurant owners spontaneously moved residents to come due to development needs, so it was even more troublesome to coordinate the work.

Speaking of the transportation on Zhapu Road, this is the biggest bottleneck restricting their development, and this problem cannot be solved for decades.

The parking lot was not so easy to build. Later, the Zhapu section from Haining Road to Tiantong Road became a single-track from north to south. Parking was not allowed. During rush hour, bicycle flow and motor vehicle flow were mixed.

Faced with such traffic conditions, many people are unwilling to drive to "fight" again, and car owners are the mainstream people in restaurant consumption.

The living environment of Zhapu Road Food Street is not only severe, but also severe challenges to the least.

It was precisely because of these bottlenecks that Wang Lin had the confidence to collect this area.

He never aims at doing things.

When Wang Lin and Uncle Zhong arrived at the food street, there were already many diners here, filled with the smell of alcohol and five-spice.

Uncle Zhong shrugged his nose: "It smells so good!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Stop whatever you want to eat later, order whatever you want, and eat all the here."

Uncle Zhong laughed with a crooked mouth: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, I don't have a big stomach, so I can only eat a few dishes at most!"

Wang Lin laughed.

Han Xudong and Han Qingning were already waiting at the restaurant entrance.

After meeting, Han Qingning smiled and said, "Wang Lin, thank you for coming here for the glory!"

Wang Lin said: "Who doesn't come yet if you have something to eat?"

Han Xudong said: "This restaurant is pretty good. We ate it once when we were shopping here."

Han Qingning said: "Brother, Wang Lin is a local. Do you think he doesn't know where there is delicious food?"

Wang Lin said: "I used to come here too, and there are indeed a lot of delicious food."

When he arrived at the private room on the second floor, Han Qingning ordered the waiter to serve wine and food.

During the conversation, I talked about blind dates.

Han Xudong blushed in embarrassment: "I didn't expect Zhou Xia would reject me at once. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."

Han Qingning said: "Brother, don't be discouraged! Your conditions are here, and it's more than enough to match Zhou Xia, but she has been divorced and no longer easily believes in love and marriage, so you have to be a little patient. Once such a woman gives you sincerely, she will live with you for the rest of her life."

Wang Lin didn't want Han Xudong to waste time on Zhou Xia anymore, so he said, "Using Xudong's conditions, it is not difficult to find a better woman. I know some of Sister Xia's thoughts, and it will be difficult to win her. Instead of doing these useless efforts, it's better to find another good wife."

Han Xudong was stunned: "Is that true?"

Wang Lin said: "Sister Xia is the kind of person who is very independent. She knows clearly what she needs. She will not easily refuse someone. Since she refuses, there will definitely be no chance."

Han Xudong flashed a hint of disappointment and sighed helplessly: "Then forget it!"

Wang Lin said: "Qingning, I heard the news that the Ministry of Information Industry is intended to establish, you should have internal news, right?"

Han Qingning said: "It's true, this is one of the reasons why I want to enter the development of the information industry. What the upper class attaches great importance to will definitely be the blue ocean of future development."

Wang Lin said: "Well, you can inquire about this more, which will be helpful for us to set up a new company."

Han Qingning smiled: "So, do you agree to invest in me?"

Wang Lin said: "Hey, we have three rules in advance. You can make up your entrepreneurial plan and long-term plan for me first."

Han Qingning tilted his head playfully and said, "Don't worry, no problem! Come on, I'll toast you with a glass of wine!"

She held the cup in her hands, sat upright, and raised her glass to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Don't do this, we can just drink it casually."

Han Xudong suddenly said: "Wang Lin, why didn't you go to South Korea last time?"

Wang Lin said: "Oh—My wife is about to give birth, and I canceled the itinerary. How do you know?"

Han Xudong said: "I happened to be in South Korea and met Uncle Zhou and his group. I talked to him about you. Uncle Zhou said you were going to join the group to remember South Korea, but you didn't come if you had anything to do."

Wang Lin said: "Yes! The plan cannot keep up with the changes."

Han Xudong said: "The information industry in South Korea is also developing. If you have time to go and inspect it, it should be helpful."

Wang Lin said: "In the four years after 1983, South Korea began to implement the semiconductor industry revitalization plan, investing US$345 million in loans and introducing US$2 billion in private investment, and the chip industry began to start rapidly. During this period, the South Korean Political Department tracked the investment direction of major consortiums. Hyundai was even warned that it did not set up an electronics subsidiary: if it did not add research and development, it would be eliminated. They worked hard to develop the chip and semiconductor industry, laying the foundation for today's great development of the information industry."

Han Xudong exclaimed: "Wang Lin, you are so powerful. If a scholar doesn't go out, he will know the world's affairs!"

Wang Lin smiled slightly: "I just read too many news reports!"

He pondered slightly and said, "Xudong, you reminded me that cooperation with South Korea may be a shortcut! We can't start everything from scratch, right? The cultures between our country and South Korea are not very different, and border trade exchanges are close. It is relatively easy to get their technology."

Han Xudong said: "Of course. Why don't you fly to South Korea with my sister? Go there and take a look."

Han Qingning said: "Okay! I didn't go there last time, and I was just looking for an opportunity to go there."

Wang Lin said: "It's OK, but I don't have time now. Let's do it. When you make a plan, if I feel satisfied, we will discuss the itinerary."

Han Qingning said: "You, you're too rigorous in your work!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Brothers also have to settle the score clearly, let alone we are just friends?"

Han Qingning said: "Yes? We are just friends? I thought we were relatives who had been married!"

Wang Lin laughed.

After dinner, Wang Lin and the others came downstairs.

There were many people surrounding a hotel across the street, and violent quarrels came.

Wang Lin is not a person who likes to join in the fun, so he glances at him and is about to leave.

But the crowd suddenly scattered, and someone was shouting: "It's a fight! It's a fight!"

Then, Wang Lin heard someone yelling angryly: "Don't bully people too much! You dare to bully me like this because you have a lot of money? You have to jump over the wall if you are anxious! I put a deposit of 10,000 yuan in this store, and you must repay it to me!"

Wang Lin was stunned when he heard this familiar voice: "Isn't that Zhao Weiguo?"

Uncle Zhong stood beside him and whispered: "Dr. Wang, it is Zhao Weiguo."

Wang Lin said: "What's going on?"

Uncle Zhong didn't know why.

Wang Lin waved his hand: "Go and take a look!"

He said to Han Xudong: "Why don't you go back first? I saw an acquaintance here, and I'll go and see the situation."

Han Xudong said: "We are fine, let's accompany you!"
