Film and TV: Obtain Alpha Dog at the beginning

At this time, domestic buildings were mainly in the shape of cubes and cuboids. It was not because the level of domestic designers was not good, but mainly due to the cost.

Anyone who has worked in the construction industry understands one principle - the more bizarre the building, the higher the construction cost.

In 1988, there was only one word that Mainland architecture pursued, and that was - high!

Today this city builds a building with a height of 160 meters. Tomorrow that city will surpass it and build a building with a height of 180 meters.

Regarding the appearance, Party A basically has only one requirement, as long as it can be seen.

This also caused the building built by Qin Hao to become one of the most popular attractions in Shanghai just after it was topped out.

This building, which looks like a butterfly, has appeared on the front pages of major newspapers in Shanghai many times.

"Mr. Qin, this time your Vientiane Plaza has become popular before it even opens!" Zhao Chu naturally has reasons to be happy. This is a project he led single-handedly. It has already become a popular attraction even before it is completed, and it is even on the streets. News, these are all his political achievements.

"Thanks to Director Zhao's great help, otherwise the project progress would not have been so fast." Qin Hao was also very happy. It was not easy to build such a building in the 1980s. Many large-scale machinery was not available in China and needed to be transferred from Hong Kong. , as well as the supporting structure of the facade, which cannot be produced by domestic steel plants and can only be imported from abroad.

For this reason, Qin Hao had to increase the budget three times. According to the current situation, the entire project will cost at least HK$200 million to complete.

Liu Sen was also under a lot of pressure. Finally, the main structure had been completed and he could explain it to his family.

After the main structure was completed, Qin Hao did not relax for a few days, but became even busier. In addition to keeping an eye on the subsequent renovation progress, he was also busy recruiting investment.

Since it is a commercial complex, it cannot only have one supermarket. What Qin Hao wants to build is a comprehensive shopping mall that integrates eating, drinking, and entertainment.

In addition to supermarkets, there must be branded clothing, home appliances, audio equipment, cosmetics, and household items, and they must all be top brands. From the beginning, the quality of the entire mall must be raised. In Shanghai dialect, it is called: style.

But the problem now facing Qin Hao is that there are still relatively few international brands entering the mainland at this time, and very few domestic brands can be considered top-notch. Those mid- to low-end brands are crying and wanting to enter, but Qin Hao always Don't let go.

"Mr. Qin, I am from Suzhou Textile Factory. Look at this information about our factory. Our factory is definitely a well-known brand in Suzhou."

"Hey, don't be crowded. I came first, Mr. Qin. I'm from the Nanjing Watch Factory. The Zhongshan brand watches produced by our factory are well-known in Nanjing. They definitely meet the investment requirements."

Facing the business representatives who surrounded him, Qin Hao said resolutely: "Everyone who has submitted their information can go back first. We will review your information afterwards. If it meets the investment standards, our staff will We will notify you in advance. If you have not submitted the materials, you can go to the investment office first, where there will be dedicated personnel to receive you."

After saying that, Qin Hao squeezed his way out of the crowd, quickly got into a car and drove away.

"Oh, well, another day of waiting was in vain."

"Isn't this Mr. Qin too unkind? After all, we are all famous brand products in various regions, and we don't even provide meals."

"There is no other way. Who made someone else's shopping mall become a new landmark in Shanghai before it even opened? They have such great capital."

"Yes, to put it bluntly, our brands are more recognized by local customers. If we want to become a national famous brand, we must build a reputation in Shanghai."

At this time, there is a saying in China that the national fashion depends on Shanghai, and Shanghai depends on Nanjing Road. If local brands want to come out, Shanghai is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. Being famous in Shanghai is equivalent to being famous throughout the country.

In fact, Qin Hao is not looking down on these local brands. He is also preparing to attract some local brands to help them become famous in Shanghai, because only in this way can he show the mall's "star-making" ability and avoid being criticized by some so-called The "big names" are in charge.

The big shop bullies the customers, and the big customers bully the shop. This has been the case since ancient times. If the east wind wants not to be overwhelmed by the west wind, the best way is to have the ability to change the direction of the wind.

The main reason for not contacting these local brands in advance is to avoid offending people. After all, you are meeting with a representative of this business today, and another one invites you tomorrow. Will you go? If I don't go there, people will think that you look down on me. Instead of doing that, it's better to treat everyone equally, and he will be at ease.

"Mr. Qin, the hospital is here." The driver, Xiao Li, opened the door.

Qin Hao nodded: "Are you ready with all the things I asked you to bring?"

"It's all ready. It's in the trunk. I'll get it for you."

"Don't be busy now. Park the car and don't block the road. I'll go up to check the situation and come down to get it later."

"Okay, you can always call me if you need anything."

In the hospital corridor, there was a pungent smell of disinfectant. No matter what time of day, the hospital was always the busiest place. Qin Hao carried a fruit basket to avoid the crowded patients and came to the third floor.

Outside the delivery room, Tao Tao squatted on the ground with a lost look, lowering his head and saying nothing. Boss Fang and his wife wandered anxiously outside the delivery room.

"How is it going?"

Hearing Qin Hao's voice, Tao Tao raised her head: "It's been two or three hours since I went in, and the nurse said the birth hasn't started yet."

Qin Hao patted him on the shoulder: "You are all about to be fathers. When things happen, please be careful. Fang Mei inside and the child in her belly are still counting on you."

"Yeah." Tao Tao's originally hesitant and chaotic eyes gradually became brighter.

When Boss Fang saw Qin Hao, he forced a smile and said, "Ah Hao, you're here."

"Don't worry, Fangmei is usually in good health, there will be no problem."

Just as Qin Hao was speaking, a loud cry came from the delivery room. The anxiety on the faces of Boss Fang and his wife instantly turned into joy.

"It's born, it's born!"

Tao Tao also hurried to the door of the delivery room, leaned on the crack of the door and looked in. As a result, she almost bumped into the nurse who opened the door of the delivery room.

"Who is Fang Fang's family member?"

"I am her husband, how is my wife?"

"Congratulations, mother and son are safe."

After hearing that mother and son were safe, Tao Tao's anxious heart finally fell.

Not long after, another nurse came out holding a wrinkled little guy. Fangmei's mother was the first to pick up her grandson without any ceremony, smiling so much that there were wrinkles on her forehead.

Tao Tao and Boss Fang were watching the little guy from the side, wanting to hold him but afraid of hurting the child.

Finally, the nurse suggested that Tao Tao hug her son, and Tao Tao mustered up the courage to take the little boy from his mother-in-law.

"Oh, it's not light yet."

"Yes, it's six pounds and seven taels. It's not easy to give birth. You have to treat your wife well in the future." The nurse couldn't help but say from the side.

"Six pounds and seven taels, oh, no wonder I said it was so heavy." Fangmei's mother burst into tears as she spoke.

Soon the nurse took the crying little guy back, probably to feed him.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Fangmei was pushed out of the delivery room. The little guy had fallen asleep next to her.

"Daughter, you have suffered." As a mother, she naturally understands the pain of natural childbirth.

Fangmei was very strong and smiled at her mother: "It's okay, it's over."

"Brother Hao, please come to see me if you are so busy."

Qin Hao pretended to be displeased: "It's enough to talk politely to outsiders, but you do this to me?"

Fang Mei was a little embarrassed and was about to say something. Qin Hao turned around and glared at Tao Tao angrily: "Your wife worked so hard to give you a son, and you don't have anything to say to her?"

Tao Tao woke up from the dream, knelt down on one knee beside the hospital bed and held Fang Mei's hand: "My wife, thank you for your hard work. I will never make you angry again. I will listen to you no matter what you do in the future."

"This is what you said, Brother Hao is here, help me supervise him." Fangmei rolled her eyes at Tao Tao angrily, but she felt happy in her heart.

After Fangmei entered the ward and settled down, Qin Hao took Tao Tao to the door of the hospital.

"Mr. Qin." Seeing Qin Hao coming, driver Xiao Li quickly put out his cigarette and came over.

"Well, open the trunk."

Seeing that Tao Tao was still in a daze, Qin Hao said angrily: "Why are you still dazed? These are all bought for Fangmei, please help me."

"Ah? All these are for Fangmei?" Tao Tao's eyes widened.

Qin Hao didn't continue to talk nonsense with him. He stuffed two buckets of milk powder and a large pack of diapers into his hands, and walked to the hospital with the remaining things in the trunk.

"When you go up later, just tell me that you asked me to buy these in Hong Kong, so that your father-in-law and mother-in-law won't complain that you don't know how to take care of Fangmei." Qin Hao specially warned when he went upstairs.

Tao Tao grimaced: "They may not believe it."

Qin Hao shook his head when he heard this and said nothing more. Tao Tao really couldn't do a good job on this point, but he couldn't be blamed. In the 1980s, the popularization of knowledge about maternal and child health was still too poor. Many even professional doctors and nurses They may not even understand.

Seeing Qin Hao and Tao Tao coming up with big and small bags, Fang Mei couldn't help complaining: "Brother Hao, you came just as you said you would, why do you bring so many things?"

"I didn't buy these. Taotao asked me to buy these from Hong Kong. They are all for you mother and son."

Fang Mei looked at Tao Tao suspiciously when she heard this: "Did you really buy it?"

"Of course, these things can't be sold in the mainland, so we can only ask Ah Hao to bring them back from Hong Kong." Tao Tao could only pretend to be calm, but facing Fangmei's interrogating eyes, she still couldn't help but feel guilty.

Fangmei has been married to Tao Tao for a year. She knows her husband very well. One look at his guilty look and she knew that he definitely did not buy these things. He only did it in front of his parents and did not reveal it on the spot.

Just when Fangmei was about to give Tao Tao a chance to borrow a donkey from the slope, a pregnant woman in the next bed asked curiously.

"Brother, what do you use these things for? Did you bring them back from Hong Kong?"

Tao Tao was sweating at that time. Except for the milk powder, which he knew was for drinking, he didn't know what other things were for. He could only look at Qin Hao for help.

"This is a diaper. After the child wears it, he doesn't have to change his diaper again and again. He can change it every three hours and throw it away directly, which also saves him the trouble of washing the diaper."

"This is a baby bottle, this is a baby pacifier, and there are shower gels and bath sponges."

The pregnant woman in the bed next to her felt more and more miraculous as she listened, wishing she could do the same thing herself. However, the husband next to her became more and more sweaty.

“You can’t buy these things in the mainland, right?”

"You can't buy it now, but when the Vientiane Plaza on Nanjing Road opens, it will be sold there."

The pregnant woman's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her husband almost collapsed to the ground. These things were not cheap at first glance.

Fortunately, the little guy's loud cry saved this one, and everyone's attention was attracted to this little guy.

Fang Mei held the little one in her arms and was about to breastfeed. Qin Hao consciously left the ward, but soon Fang Mei's helpless crying could be heard inside. Then Tao Tao took the bottle and milk powder to the hot water room.

Finally, the little ancestor was fed and coaxed to sleep. Within half an hour, the little guy burst into tears again. Fangmei quickly put on diapers for her son. Not to mention that they really worked. After putting them on, the little one started crying. The guy slept much more peacefully.

It was already dark now, and A Bao rushed over panting.

"How is Fangmei?"

"Mother and son are safe."

Abao let out a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then he hit Tao Tao on the chest with a happy face: "Good boy, now you are going to be a father."

"Hey." Tao Tao felt silly for a while.

Since Fangmei and the little guy had just fallen asleep, Abao didn't go in to disturb them. He just lay on the window and watched for a while.

Tao Tao suddenly asked: "Where have you been these days? I called my uncle and he said that you went to collect treasury bills again. You are speculating in stocks and doing foreign trade at the same time. Isn't the money enough for you to earn?"

"Have you forgotten what happened last time? If you are caught again, you will go to jail."

Abao explained proudly: "Do you think I am the kind of person who wants money rather than his life? Now that the policy has been liberalized, it has been published in the newspapers, and private trading of treasury bonds is allowed. Now I am making money openly, okay? .”

"Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know?" Tao Tao looked confused.

Abao laughed and scolded: "So I ask you to watch more news broadcasts and read more newspapers. You just like to browse those messy foreign magazines. Be careful if Fangmei sees you and punishes you."

"Don't talk nonsense. I am pursuing fashion and I understand fashion."

The two quarreled for a while, causing the nurse to cast an angry look, and then they stopped.

Then Abao said to Qin Hao: "Ahao, how is the progress of your investment promotion over there?"

"It's okay. The brands in Hong Kong have basically been negotiated, but some international brands are still a little hesitant." Qin Hao said lightly.

It is a universal truth that people who work in the same industry are enemies. Seeing that Qin Hao’s Vientiane Plaza is becoming more and more popular, the old department stores headed by Hulian Commercial Building will naturally not sit still and give Qin Hao a lot of trouble behind the scenes. son.

However, Qin Hao knows very well that as long as Vientiane Plaza opens, Shanghai people will completely abandon the old department store counter sales model.

When the time comes, he will naturally have the final say on Nanjing Road. (End of chapter)
