Chapter 549: Ancient Roman Style
The four dukes parked in front of the unfinished bowling alley.
The bowling alley is located in Wudaokou, and the future center of the universe is now just a noisy small business district, with a county-level cinema in the 80s, a Wudaokou department store and a small market in the 90s.
The Wudaokou department store will be turned into Hualian in the future, and the small market is now a lively snack street, with at least five or six roast mutton vendors as far as the eye can see.
Yang Rui's bowling alley, or the future sports center, is some distance from them, but it is closer to the southeast gate of Tsinghua University.
University is also the core factor that achieves the temperament of the five mouths of different days.
Yang Rui built the bowling alley here, one because it was close to him, the other because of the high land price in the future, and the final practical principle was also to take a fancy to the surrounding universities.
For people in the 80s, bowling was an expensive sport, and the old Beijingers who lived in the center of Beijing, the so-called Hutong residents, could not afford to play this kind of game for forty or fifty yuan, and the second generation in the compound could not necessarily afford to play.
However, today's college students are an interesting group, their spending power, their value orientation, and they are the ones who are most willing to try new things in the country at an all-time high.
In addition, something like such an expensive, stylish, and fun thing, just like a golf course, as long as it is easy to reach, it is not afraid to be a little farther away.
It is definitely better to build it in the city center, just like the bowling alley of the Lido Hotel, which attracts many foreigners in the embassy area, but there are no dozens of acres of land in the city center for Yang Rui to use.
Don't look at the fact that it's '84 years now, the land in Beijing is just as tight, and the control is very strict.
Ordinary people's homes are the limit of building a private house with an earthquake shed, and if the land is good, although individuals have no money, major units are rich.
A unit like Shougang can easily spend tens of millions of dollars, and no matter how rich the self-employed are, they will not be able to compete with this kind of industrial complex.
However, even if it is Shougang, their workers' clubs in Beijing are also built for workers, and in terms of the current consumption level, Shougang's workers are naturally ten out of ten middle class, in other words, Shougang's workers' clubs, or the workers' clubs of central enterprises, or the state-built citizen gymnasiums, national gymnasiums, are all middle-class gymnasiums, focusing on public leisure, paying attention to civic culture, and taking into account economic and political nature.
But the gymnasium that Yang Rui made is pure and noble consumption.
The one that has been built now, that is, the bowling alley, looks like it is magnificent first of all.
Li Yue and Sister Zhu grew up in Beijing, and buildings like the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven have long been unfeeling.
However, after getting off the bus, they still stopped in front of the bowling alley for a long time.
Because the gymnasium in front of them is in the Greco-Roman style, to be precise, it is copied from the Greco-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.
"It's weirdly pretty. Li Yue whispered to Sister Zhu.
The young people of the 80s are all literary and artistic youths, they disdain the politics of middle-aged people who represent the mainstream of society, and they are bound and influenced by the mainstream of society, so they cannot be obscene and obscene.
If you can't be political, you can't be obscene, then you can only be literary and artistic.
Hazy poetry, scar literature, and Schopenhauer and ideals all over the world filled the youth world of the eighties.
I don't know if there are any benefits, and the appreciation of the eye is a little up.
Wang Xiaoyun paid attention to Li Yue and Sister Zhu with her ears up, and when she heard their words, she introduced with a smile: "Look at this door, it has a background, it is imitated by Hadrian's door." ”
"Huh?" Sister Zhu's health school is considered a secondary school, and it can't be said that her education is low in the 80s, but she knows about things other than China.
Wang Xiaoyun didn't pay attention to these before, but now she wants to save face for Huang Mao, so she sells it with a smile, and says: "Hadrian was the emperor who liked to build houses the most in the Roman era, and he built a lot of beautiful buildings, especially the buildings and sculptures of the Greek era, many of which he moved to Rome or rebuilt, this Hadrian's Gate is a famous one, you have heard of the Arc de Triomphe, Hadrian's Gate is a bit of a triumphal arch......"
"Xiu here means triumphant?" Li Yue was stunned by him.
"It's because Hadrian's style is easy to build. You see, three arches, four columns, the top is still flat, in addition to the carving or something is a little more complicated, our craft to replicate such a building, it is still very easy, of course, a little expensive material is. 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 baby calves, patting the dust, brushing the bristles and washing the horns.
Li Yue listened to Wang Xiaoyun's introduction on the front foot, fantasizing about the grandeur of the Greek era, and when she heard Yang Rui's answer on the back foot, she was very helpless, and turned her head to ask Huang Mao: "This is also your colleague, so young......
"This is the head of our lab, the lab director, my immediate boss. Huang Mao hurriedly introduced, there is no mistake here.
Li Yue covered her mouth and said in surprise: "I didn't see it." ”
"Take your time, don't rush. Yang Rui stood confidently under the light, showing a side for people to see, and his movements were like Roman sculptures.
Huang Mao and the others looked at Yang Rui helplessly, the newcomers Li Wenqiang, Duan Bo and Zhang Xuetong saw Yang Rui for the first time, and they were curious and strange.
And behind him, Hadrian was silently cooperating.
Behind Hadrian's Gate was not idle, directly behind a Roman courtyard-style fountain, surrounded by several marble statues.
In fact, Yang Rui has the intention to make the entire gymnasium according to Hadrian's Manor, and if it is made, it will be the Forbidden City in Beijing, which is not a bad comparison.
Of course, the idea is good, the reality is cruel, the film and television city of later generations is rough and rough, just pull one over, the price is over 100 million, the current workers are cheap, but the materials are not cheap.
What's more, the 50 acres of land that Yang Rui got can't put a Hadrian manor, and everyone has named it a manor, so he knows that the scale must not be small.
Hadrian's Gate and the Romanesque courtyard are the two spikes that Yang Rui pulled out of his thoughts, and further inside, even the appearance cannot be guaranteed to be the same.
But for Li Yue and Sister Zhu, it was shocking enough.
In the city of Beijing now, the magnificent buildings are not old and young, but they are basically neutral and peaceful, and it is difficult to build a little special ones, and it is even rarer to adopt foreign architectural styles.
For example, the East 40 Tiao Station of the Metro was voted as one of the top ten new buildings in the 80s by Beijing citizens from more than 30 recommended buildings in 88, and Guan Zhaoye, the architect of the East 40 Tiao Station of the Metro, said in his own comments that the reason for the selection was only that the top light was distinctive, and it was the Olympic rings. Because when it was designed in 74, the form of the subway lights on the ring line was different for each station, because the name of the station at that time was the Workers' Gymnasium, Guan Zhaoye thought of the Olympic rings, however, after his plan was proposed, the young workers, peasants and soldiers had never heard of the Olympics, let alone knew that there was this five-ring sign, and the people who knew more also said: Forget it, don't mention foreign affairs.
At that time, he was overthrowing the "feudal capital repair", but Guan Zhaoye still had the courage to continue to complete the design of the Olympic rings, and by the time of the selection of the new top ten buildings in the 80s in 88, China had already participated in the Olympic Games and won medals, and the design of the five rings suddenly became very prominent.
In '84, the political atmosphere was relaxed, but the building was not thatch in the field, and it grew once a year.
There are ancient Roman-style buildings, and there are only five crossings at present.
Li Yue, Sister Zhu, as well as Li Wenqiang and other people who had never been here, all lingered at the door for more than ten minutes with all kinds of complicated emotions, as if they were visiting a garden.
And when they enter the bowling alley, the interior decoration makes them even more ignorant of where to look.
At the beginning of the door, it is a light and visible tile, bright color decorative strips can be seen everywhere, if you look at it by the standards of the 21st century, Yang Rui's gymnasium is also the level of a high-end bathing center, you can see it 30 years in advance, then it is beautiful and has nothing to say.
As for the advanced and handsome fairways, the special bowling gameplay is even more eye-catching.
"Tomorrow's buffet will be held in the courtyard here, and if it rains, it will be put indoors, and if it doesn't, it will be held indoors for everyone. Yang Rui casually introduced it, and asked people to open the fairway for them to play, and said: "Tonight's supper is a pig-killing dish, if you want to eat, you will go to the restaurant for a while, the stadium will be open until 11 o'clock, and then it will be closed and cleaned." If you like to play, I'll come back in the future, I gave each of you a membership card, and I automatically charged 10 rounds every month. ”
"It's only 10 rounds, so how can that be enough. Wang Xiaoyun half-complained and fought for better conditions. She liked it the first time she was bowling. If you just play casually, 10 rounds is enough for three or four people to play for two or three hours, but if you really love this, 10 rounds is not enough for one person to play for an afternoon.
Yang Rui pouted: "The gymnasium and the laboratory are two independent units, the membership card is a welfare, you can recharge yourself and get a 20% discount, if you don't get a discount, 10 rounds will be 600 yuan." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the price list that had hung behind the bar.
Wang Xiaoyun immediately shouted: "Oh, your price is more expensive than Lido." ”
"Is the environment of Lido better here?" Yang Rui was very confident about this.
The bowling alley made by the Lido Hotel is indeed the first person to eat crabs in China, but its decoration and configuration are far from meeting the standard of luxury. In Japan, where bowling is the most popular, the bowling alley of the Lido Hotel, which is the standard of a public arena, has a better location and more waiters.
After all, when Lido first built this bowling alley, she didn't know if the sport was popular in the country and how popular it was.
Yang Rui is different, he knows very sure that the bowling alley is one of the best cash cows in the 80s, and the more luxurious it is, the faster it will take to recover the capital.
Li Yue listened to their discussion, looked at the situation, and was stunned.
With the exception of a few wine lists, the figures after the price list are all in double digits.
Li Yue silently calculated, his salary is here, at most two games can be played, not enough to play three games, this is still a 20% increase nationwide this year.
Sister Zhu and Li Yue's salaries were about the same, so she couldn't help but poke Huang Mao and asked, "How long is a game and how is it calculated?"
"Ten rounds in a game, you can shoot twice in a round, like that. Huang Mao pointed to Wei Zhenxue, who couldn't wait to play.
In front of the fairway, Wei Zhenxue just took a duck-like pose and threw the 7-pound bowling ball out.
The bowling ball jumps twice on the wooden fairway with a nice reeling sound, hitting one of the bottles in the far corner, making a soft thud.
"It's the end of the round. Huang Mao explained on the spot.
Sister Zhu opened her mouth and stammered: "6 yuan was just knocked out?"
Dividing 60 by 10 rounds, the dozen seconds of throwing and running the ball did cost six dollars.
Huang Mao hadn't counted it like this before, but now when he heard it, he could only nod.
Sister Zhu was silent for a long time, and asked, "Then what if I set up the bottle myself? He also charged me 6 yuan?"
Wang Xiaoyun just took a glass of new bartender-toned mocktail, and a mouthful of colorful water sprayed out directly, and said: "If you want to set up the bottle yourself, it will definitely be more than 60 in one game, and it will take more time." ”
That seems to be the case. Sister Zhu frowned twice, but she quickly found a new target, only to see her tighten her chin, her pupils lit up, and asked Huang Mao: "Your foreign company must be very rich, Xiao Huang, how much do you get a month's salary?"
In the era when the people of the whole country were working for the state, there was no need to hide the wages at all, and in some units that did not pay attention to it, the salary slips were turned over with everyone.
However, Sinovel Labs has gradually taken on the appearance of foreign companies in later generations, and the salary amounts of Huang Mao and others are set by Yang Rui separately and kept secret in one direction.
In front of his colleagues in the laboratory, Huang Mao was speechless for a while.
At this time, Yang Rui had fully understood the situation, so he stood up to relieve 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 Dean Zhou is an old Red Army, administrative level seven, 320 yuan, plus subsidies and bonuses, more than 400 yuan." ”
Yang Rui nodded, but stretched out two fingers and said, "Huang Mao's salary is more than twice as much as his." ”
"No way. Sister Zhu didn't believe it at all, and said: "Dean Zhou is an old revolutionary who joined the army 37 years ago, with deputy department-level treatment, and is still a railway worker, only 400 yuan, Xiao Huang ......"
"Xiao Huang is the backbone of our laboratory, the author of the top international journals, because of his age, he did not catch up with the blood for the motherland, but his current work can fulfill the wishes of the martyrs and make the motherland prosperous and ......strong" Yang Rui grabbed the talk, smiled, looked at Li Yue, and said: "You say, our Xiao Huang, is he also qualified to live a better life?"
Li Yue nodded blankly.
Huang Mao was overjoyed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to shake up the oxtail and dance a dog tail dance for Yang Rui.
