Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth ancient Roman style
Four Duke Kings parked in front of the unfinished bowling alley with great magnitude.
The bowling alley is right in Wudaokou. The center of the future universe is now just a noisy small business district, with cinemas at the county level in the 1980s, Wudaokou department store at the 1990s and a small market.
Wudaokou Department Store will become Hualian in the future, and the small market is now a lively snack street. Looking around, there are at least five or six vendors of roasted lamb.
The bowling alley built by Yang Rui, or the future sports center, are a little far away from them, but are closer to the southeast gate of Tsinghua University. Standing upstairs and looking into the distance, you can also see the tallest building near Wudaokou, the main building of Tsinghua University.
University is also the core factor in achieving the temperament of the Five Paths of the Future.
Yang Rui built the bowling alley here, one because it was close to him, the other because of the high land prices in the future, and the last realistic principle was also his favourite university.
For people in the 1980s, playing bowling was an extremely expensive sport. Old Beijingers living in the center of Beijing, the so-called residents of the alley, could not afford such a game of 40 or 50 yuan, and the second generation in the courtyard might not be able to afford it.
However, today's college students are a very interesting group, their consumption capacity and value orientation, in changing the country at the highest rate of history, they are the ones who are most willing to try new things.
In addition, things like such expensive, stylish and fun are like golf courses. As long as they are easy to access, you won’t be afraid of being a little farther away.
It must be better to build it in the city center, just like the bowling alley of the Lido Hotel, which attracted many foreigners from the embassy area, but there are not dozens of acres of land in the city center for Yang Rui to use.
Although it is now 1984, the land in Beijing is as tight as it is and the control is very strict.
It is the limit for ordinary people to build private houses with earthquake sheds. If the land is good, even if the individual has no money, major units will have money.
Units like Shougang can easily spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions. No matter how rich an individual business is, they cannot compete with such industrial consortiums.
However, even Shougang, their workers' clubs in Beijing are built for workers. In terms of current consumption level, Shougang's workers are naturally tens of the middle class. In other words, Shougang's workers' clubs, or workers' clubs of central enterprises, or national stadiums built by the state are all middle-class stadiums, focusing on mass leisure, paying attention to citizen culture, taking into account both economic and political nature.
But the gymnasium that Yang Rui built is pure and noble consumption.
The hall that has been built now, the bowling alley, looks first and foremost.
Li Yue and Sister Zhu grew up in Beijing since childhood. They have long seen buildings like the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven and Tiananmen Square.
However, after getting off the bus, they stopped in front of the bowling alley for a long time.
Because the gymnasium in front of them was Greek and Roman style, to be precise, it was a copy of Greek and Roman architecture.
What is definitely different from the melodious architecture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties is the culture of the Greek era and the confidence of the Roman Empire.
"This looks so beautiful." Li Yue quietly spoke to Sister Zhu.
The young people in the 1980s were all literary and artistic youths. They disdained the politics of middle-aged people who represented the mainstream of society, and were bound and influenced by the mainstream of society, and could not be obscene or vulgar.
If the superior cannot be political and the subordinate cannot be vulgar, then it can only be literary and artistic.
Misty poetry, scar literature, and Schopenhauer and ideals all over the world filled the youth world of the 1980s.
I don’t know if there are any benefits, but my appreciation is a little bit higher.
Wang Xiaoyun's ears were focused on Li Yue and Sister Zhu. When she heard their words, she smiled and introduced: "Look at this door, you can see that it is beautiful. It has a background. This is based on Hadrian's door."
"Ah?" The medical school where Sister Zhu studied was considered a technical secondary school. In the 1980s, she could not say that her education was low, but she knew that the American imperial paper tiger was not good at anything outside of China.
Wang Xiaoyun didn't pay attention to these things before, but now she wants to save face for Huang Mao, so she smiled and started selling it now and said: "Hadrian was the emperor who liked to build houses in the Roman era. She built many beautiful buildings, especially the buildings and sculptures of the Greek era. Many of them were moved to Rome or rebuilt. This Hadrian Gate is a famous one. Have you heard of the Arc de Triomphe, and Hadrian Gate has a bit of the Arc de Triomphe..."
"Was Xiu like to be triumphant here?" Li Yue was disturbed by him.
"It is because Hadrian's sect is so magnificent. Look, there are three arches, four cylinders, and the tops are flat. Apart from the complexity of carvings, it is very easy to copy such a building. Of course, it is a bit of a material." Yang Rui saw the Duke King outside the door, walked out with a smile, and answered Li Yue's words with a smile, while greeting his precious calves, slapping dust, bristling hair and washing long horns.
Li Yue listened to Wang Xiaoyun's introduction and fantasized about the grandeur of the Greek era. When she heard Yang Rui's answer, she was helpless and turned to Huang Mao: "Is this also your colleague? You are so young..."
"This is the person in charge of our laboratory, the director of the laboratory, and my immediate boss." Huang Mao hurriedly introduced that this place cannot be wrong.
Li Yue covered her mouth and said in surprise: "I didn't see it."
"Look at it slowly, don't worry." Yang Rui stood under the light confidently, revealing a side to show people, and his movements were like Roman sculptures.
Huang Mao and others looked at Yang Rui helplessly. It was the first time that the new Li Wenqiang, Duan Bo and Zhang Xuetong saw Yang Rui like this, and they were both curious and strange.
And behind him, Hadrian's Gate cooperated silently.
There was no idle behind Hadrian's Gate, directly a Roman courtyard-style fountain, surrounded by colleagues.
In fact, Yang Rui was determined to do the entire gymnasium according to Hadrian's Manor. If it was done, there would be a Forbidden City in Beijing, which would not be lost in comparison.
Of course, the idea is good, the reality is cruel. No matter how rough the film and television cities in later generations are, they can easily be picked up and the prices are over 100 million yuan. It is true that workers are cheaper now, but the materials are not cheap.
What's more, the 50 acres of land obtained by Yang Rui could not set up a Hadrian manor. People named it the manor, so they knew that the scale was definitely not small.
Hadrian's Gate and the Romanesque Courtyard are two ears that Yang Rui pulled out of his thoughts. Inside, the appearance cannot be guaranteed to be the same.
But for Li Yue and Sister Zhu, it was already shocking enough.
In today's Beijing city, the grand buildings are all ages, but they are basically central and peaceful. It is difficult to build a slightly special one, and it is even rarer to adopt a foreign architectural style.
For example, the subway East Forty-Two-Taiwan Station was voted as the top ten buildings in the 1980s by Beijing citizens from more than 30 recommended buildings. Guan Zhaoye, an architect of the subway East Forty-Taiwan Station, said in his own comment that the reason for being selected was that the ceiling lights were unique, which was the fifth ring of the Olympics. Because when it was designed in 1974, the shape of the subway line was different. Since the station name was the Workers' Stadium, Guan Zhaoye thought of the fifth ring of the Olympics. However, after his plan was proposed, young workers, peasants and soldiers had never heard of the Olympics, and he didn't know that there was this fifth ring sign. Those who knew it also said: Forget it, don't mention foreign affairs.
At that time, he was overthrowing the "Fei-Finance and Republic", but Guan Zhaoye still had the courage to continue to complete the design of the Olympic Fifth Ring Road. By the time the 1988 selection of the new ten buildings in the 1980s, China had already participated in the Olympic Games and won medals, and the design of the Fifth Ring Road suddenly became very prominent.
In 1984, the political atmosphere was loose, but the buildings were not thatched in the wild, and they grew one after another in a year.
There are only five gates in ancient Roman style.
Li Yue, Sister Zhu, and Li Wenqiang and other people who had never been here all had various complex emotions, like walking around the garden, and wandering around the door for more than ten minutes.
When they enter the bowling alley, the interior decoration makes them even less sure where to look.
When you enter the door, you will find tiles that can be seen in people. Bright color decorative strips can be seen everywhere. If you look at them in the 21st century, Yang Rui's gymnasium is at the level of a high-end bathing center. If you can see them 30 years in advance, you will be so beautiful that you have nothing to say.
As for the advanced and handsome fairways and the special bowling gameplay, it is even more eye-catching.
"Tomorrow's buffet will be held in the yard. If it rains, it will be put indoors. If it doesn't fall, it will be for everyone to do it." Yang Rui casually introduced it, and asked someone to open the fairway for them to play, and said: "Tonight's late-night snack is to kill pigs. If you want to eat, go to the restaurant. The stadium will be open until 11 o'clock, and then it will be closed and cleaned. If you like to play, come back in the future. I'll get a membership card for each of you, and will automatically charge 10 games per month."
"It's only 10 games, so how can it be enough?" Wang Xiaoyun half complained and fought for better conditions. She fell in love with the first time she played bowling. If she just played casually, 10 games would be enough for three or four people to play for two or three hours, but if she really liked this, 10 games would be not enough for one person to play for the afternoon.
Yang Rui curled his lips: "The gymnasium and the laboratory are two separate units, and the membership card is a benefit. You can recharge yourself at a 20% discount. If you don't have a discount, it will be 600 yuan for 10 games."
As he spoke, he pointed to the price list that had been hung behind the bar.
Wang Xiaoyun immediately shouted: "Oh, your price is more expensive than Lido."
"Is there a place in Lido?" Yang Rui was very confident about this.
In China, the bowling alley made by Lido Hotel is indeed the first person to try it out, but its decoration and configuration are far from the luxury standards. In Japan, where you like bowling the most, the bowling alley in Lido Hotel is the standard of a mass alley. At most, the geographical location is better and there are more waiters.
After all, when Lido was working in this bowling alley, she didn’t know whether the sport was popular in China or how popular it was.
Yang Rui is different. He knows very certainly that the bowling alley is one of the best cash cows in the 1980s. The more luxurious it is, the faster it will take to recover the capital.
Li Yue listened to their discussion and looked over, and was stunned at that time.
Except for several types of wine lists, all the numbers after the price list are double-digit.
Li Yue silently calculated that his salary is here, and he can play at most two games, which is not enough to play three games. This is a 20% increase nationwide this year.
Sister Zhu and Li Yue’s salary was similar, so she couldn’t help but poke Huang Mao and asked, “How long does it take for a game and how do you calculate it?”
"One round in one game, you can shoot twice in one round, just like that." Huang Mao pointed to Wei Zhenxue who couldn't wait to start playing.
In front of the fairway, Wei Zhenxue happened to put a duck-like position and threw out the 7-pound bowling ball.
The bowling ball jumped twice on the wooden fairway, making a nice sound of wheels, hitting a bottle at the corner, making a slight bang.
"This is the end of the round." Huang Mao explained on the spot.
Sister Zhu opened her mouth and said, "Is the 6 yuan just abolished?"
Dividing 60 by 10 rounds, the throwing and running ball for more than ten seconds did cost six dollars.
Huang Mao hadn't calculated this before, but now when he heard it, he could only nod.
Sister Zhu was silent for a long time and asked, "What if I put the bottle myself? He would also charge me 6 yuan?"
Wang Xiaoyun just brought a glass of alcohol-free cocktail made by the new bartender. She sprayed out a sip of colorful water and said, "You have to set up your own bottle. There will definitely be more than 60 in one round, so it will take more time."
"It seems to be true to say that." Sister Zhu frowned twice, but soon found a new target. She tightened her chin and her pupils were shining. She asked Huang Mao: "You foreign company must be very rich, Xiao Huang, how much is your monthly salary?"
In an era when people across the country work for the country, there is no need to hide the salary. In some unqualified units, the salary slips are all followed by everyone.
However, Huarui Laboratory has gradually become like a foreign company in the future. The salary amount of Huang Mao and others was settled separately by Yang Rui and kept it confidential in one direction.
In front of the laboratory colleagues, Huang Mao was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Yang Rui had already fully understood the situation, so he stood up to rescue Huang Mao and said, "Sister Zhu, what is the highest salary in your unit?"
Sister Zhu didn't have to think about it and said, "Our President Zhou is the old Red Army, with an administrative seventh level, 320 yuan, plus subsidies and bonuses, and over 400 yuan."
Yang Rui nodded, but stretched out his hands to point it out, saying, "Huang Mao's salary is more than twice his."
"Impossible." Sister Zhu didn't believe it at all, saying: "Director Zhou was an old revolutionary who joined the army 37 years ago. He was treated as a deputy department-level employee, and he was only 400 yuan, Xiao Huang..."
"Xiao Huang is the backbone of our laboratory and the author of top international journals. Because of his age, he failed to sacrifice his life for the motherland. However, his current work can fulfill the wishes of the martyrs and make the motherland prosperous and strong..." Yang Rui grabbed the conversation, smiled, looked at Li Yue, and said, "You guys say that our Xiao Huang is also qualified to live a better life?"
Li Yue nodded blankly.
Huang Mao was overjoyed and wanted to throw the oxtail up and dance a dog-tail dance for Yang Rui.
