Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Chapter 552 Ancient Roman Style

The four Dukes parked in front of the unfinished bowling alley with incomparable style.

The bowling alley is in Wudaokou, and the future Universe Center is just a noisy small business district, with a movie theater at the level of a county town in the 1980s, and a Wudaokou department store and a small market at the level of the 90s.

The Wudaokou department store will become Hualian in the future, and the small market is now a bustling snack street. As far as the eye can see, there are at least five or six roast lamb vendors.

The bowling alley built by Yang Rui, or in other words, the future sports center, is some distance away from them. On the contrary, it is closer to the southeast gate of Tsinghua University. Standing upstairs, you can see the tallest building near Wudaokou, the main building of Tsinghua University. .

Universities are also the core factor for achieving future Wudaokou temperament.

Yang Rui built the bowling alley here, one is because it is close to him, the other is because of the high land price in the future, and the final realistic principle is also because of the surrounding universities.

For people in the 1980s, bowling was an extremely expensive sport. The old Beijingers living in the center of Beijing, the so-called hutong residents, couldn’t afford this kind of thing that costs 40 to 50 yuan a game. The second generations in the compound may not necessarily be able to afford it.

However, the current college students are a very interesting group. Their spending power and value orientation are changing the country at the highest speed in history, and they are the ones who are most willing to try new things.

In addition, such an expensive, stylish, and fun thing is like a golf course, as long as it is convenient to reach, it is not afraid of being a little farther away.

It would definitely be better to build it in the city center, like the bowling alley of the Lido Hotel, which attracts many foreigners from the embassy district, but the city center does not have dozens of acres of land for Yang Rui to use.

Even though it is 1984, the land in Beijing is just as tense, and the control is very strict.

It is the limit for ordinary people to build private houses with earthquake shelters. If the land is good, although individuals have no money, major units have money.

A unit like Shougang can easily spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions. No matter how rich the self-employed are, they cannot compete with this kind of industrial complex.

However, even if it is Shougang, their workers’ club in Beijing is also built for workers. As far as the current consumption level is concerned, the workers in Shougang are naturally 10% of the middle class. Clubs, or citizen gymnasiums built by the state, and national gymnasiums are all gymnasiums for the middle class. They focus on public leisure, pay attention to civic culture, and take into account economic and political aspects.

But the gymnasium built by Yang Rui is pure noble consumption.

The first hall that has been built now, that is, the bowling alley, looks at it first and foremost.

Li Yue and Sister Zhu grew up in Beijing. Buildings such as the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square, have long been unimpressive.

However, after getting off the bus, they still stopped for a long time in front of the bowling alley.

Because the gymnasium in front of them is in the Greco-Roman style, to be precise, it is a copy of 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 looks so good-looking." Li Yue whispered to Sister Zhu.

The young people in the 1980s were all literary youths. They disdain the politics of middle-aged people who represent the mainstream of society, and they are restrained and influenced by the mainstream of society, so they cannot be obscene and wretched.

If you can't be political at the top, and you can't be vulgar at the bottom, then it can only be literature and art.

Obscure poetry, scar literature, and Schopenhauer and ideals all over the world filled the youth world in the 1980s.

I don't know if there are any benefits, but the appreciation is a little bit up.

Wang Xiaoyun paid attention to Li Yue and Sister Zhu with her ears pricked up, and when she heard what they said, she introduced with a smile: "Look at this door, it's beautiful.

If there is a background, this is imitated after Hadrian's door. "

"Huh?" Sister Zhu's medical school is considered a technical secondary school. In the 1980s, it can't be said that her education was low, but when it comes to things outside of China, she also knows the American imperial paper tiger.

Wang Xiaoyun actually didn’t pay attention to these things before, but now she wanted to save Huang Mao’s face, so she smiled and sold them now, saying: “Hadrian was the emperor who liked building houses the most in Roman times, and he built many beautiful buildings, especially Many buildings and sculptures from the Greek era were moved to Rome or rebuilt by him. This Hadrian’s Gate is a famous one. You have heard of the Arc de Triomphe. Hadrian’s Gate is a bit like a triumphal arch..."

"Xiu here means triumphant return?" Li Yue was confused by him.

"It was built here because Hadrian's Gate is magnificent and easy to build. You see, there are three arches, four columns, and the top is still flat. Except for the complicated carvings, it is still very difficult for our craft to replicate such a building." It’s easy, of course, it’s a bit costly.” Yang Rui saw the Duke outside the door, walked out with a smile, answered Li Yue’s words with a smile, and greeted his precious calves, patting the dust, The brush hair washes the long horned waiter.

Listening to Wang Xiaoyun's introduction, Li Yue fantasized about the magnificence of the Greek era, but when she heard Yang Rui's answer, she felt helpless and turned to Huang Mao, "This is also your colleague? You are so young..."

"This is the person in charge of our laboratory, that is, the director of the laboratory, my immediate boss." Huang Mao quickly introduced, there is nothing wrong here.

Li Yue covered her mouth and said in surprise, "I didn't see it."

"Look slowly, don't be in a hurry." Yang Rui stood confidently under the light, showing his side for others to see, his movements were like Roman sculptures.

Huang Mao and the others watched Yang Rui show off helplessly. It was the first time for the newcomers Li Wenqiang, Duan Bo and Zhang Xuetong to see Yang Rui like this, and they were both curious and strange.

And behind him, Hadrian was silently cooperating.

Behind Hadrian's Gate is not idle either, there is directly a Roman courtyard-style fountain surrounded by multiple marble statues.

In fact, Yang Rui intended to make the entire gymnasium look like Hadrian's Manor. If it were done, there would be the Forbidden City in Beijing, which would be worthy of comparison.

Of course, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel. The film and television cities of the later generations are rough and rough, and the price is more than 100 million if you just pick one up. It is true that the workers are cheap now, but the materials are not cheap.

What's more, the 50 mu of land acquired by Yang Rui can't accommodate a Hadrian's Manor. They have named it the Manor, so they know that the scale must not be small.

Hadrian's Gate and the Roman-style courtyard are two tassels drawn out by Yang Rui from his ideas, and when they go inside, even the appearance cannot be guaranteed to be the same.

But for Li Yue and Sister Zhu, it was shocking enough.

In today's Beijing city, there are many magnificent buildings, but they are basically peaceful and peaceful. It is difficult to build something a little special, and it is even rarer to use foreign architectural styles.

For example, the East Sishitiao Station of the subway was voted as one of the top ten new buildings in the 1980s by Beijing residents from more than 30 recommended buildings in 1988. Guan Zhaoye, the architect of the Dongsishitiao Station of the subway, said in his comments that it was selected The only reason is that the dome light is unique, and it is the Olympic rings. Because when designing in 1974, it was required that the subway lights of the ring line should be different in each station. Since the name of the station at that time was the Workers' Stadium, Guan Zhaoye thought of the five rings of the Olympic Games. However, after his proposal was proposed, the young workers, peasants and soldiers did not listen I mentioned the Olympics, and I didn't know there was this five-ring symbol. People who knew better said: Forget it, don't mention foreign affairs.

At that time, "Fengzixiu" was defeated, but Guan Zhaoye still had the courage to continue to complete the design of the five rings of the Olympic Games. By the time the top ten new buildings in the 1980s were selected in 1988, China had already participated in the Olympic Games and won medals. The design suddenly became very prominent.

In 1984, however, the political atmosphere was relaxed, but the buildings were not thatched in the wild, which grew once a year.

There are buildings in ancient Roman style, but only Wudaokou has them.

Li Yue, Sister Zhu, and people who had never been here, including Li Wenqiang, 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 less aware of where to look.

At the beginning of the entrance, there are bright tiles and bright-colored decorative strips everywhere. If you look at it by the standards of the 21st century, Yang Rui’s gymnasium is at the level of a high-end bathing center. If you look at it 30 years in advance, it will be beautiful. I have nothing to say.

As for the advanced and handsome fairway, the special bowling game is even more eye-catching.

"Tomorrow's buffet will be held in the yard here. If it rains, it will be kept indoors. If it doesn't rain, we will have activities indoors." Yang Rui introduced it casually, and asked someone to open the fairway for them to play, and said: " Tonight's supper is a pig dish. If you want to eat, go to the restaurant later. The arena is open until 11 o'clock, and then it will be closed for cleaning. If you like to play, come back later. I have a membership card for each of you. Automatically recharge 10 rounds every month."

"It's only 10 rounds, so how can it be enough?" Wang Xiaoyun half-complained for better conditions. She fell in love with it the first time she bowled. 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 like this, 10 rounds is not enough for one person to play for an afternoon.

Yang Rui curled his lips: "The gymnasium and the laboratory are two independent units. The membership card is a benefit. You can recharge yourself and get 20% off. If there is no discount, 10 rounds will be 600 yuan."

While talking, he pointed to the price list that had been hung behind the drink bar.

Wang Xiaoyun immediately exclaimed: "Oh, your price is even more expensive than Lido."

"Is the environment in Lido as good as here?" Yang Rui is very confident about this.

The bowling alley built by the Lido Hotel is indeed the first person to eat crabs in China, but its decoration and configuration are far from luxurious standards. In Japan, which likes bowling the most, the bowling alley of the Lido Hotel is the standard of a public arena. At most, it has a better location and more waiters.

After all, when Lido first built this bowling alley, they didn't know whether the sport was popular in China or not, and how popular it was.

Yang Rui is different. He knows with certainty that the bowling alley was one of the best cash cows in the 1980s. The more luxurious it is, the faster it will recover its capital.

Li Yue listened to their discussion, took advantage of the situation, and was stunned.

Except for several wine lists, the numbers after the price list are all double digits.

Li Yue silently calculated that her salary is here, and she can play at most two rounds, not enough to play three rounds. This is still a 20% salary increase nationwide this year.

Sister Zhu and Li Yue's wages were about the same, so she couldn't help poking Huang Mao, and asked, "How long is a game, and how is it calculated?"

"Ten rounds in one game, you can shoot twice in a round, just like this." Huang Mao pointed to Wei Zhenxue who couldn't wait to play.

In front of the fairway, Wei Zhenxue just posed like a duck and threw a 7-pound bowling ball.

The bowling ball jumped twice on the wooden fairway, making a nice rolling sound, and hit a bottle at the farthest corner, making a soft bang.

"This is the end of the round." Huang Mao explained on the spot.

Sister Zhu was tongue-tied: "The 6 yuan was just thrown away like this?"

Dividing 60 by 10 rounds, the ten seconds of throwing and running the ball did cost six yuan.

Huang Mao hadn't done this calculation before, but now that he heard it, he could only nod.

Sister Zhu was silent for a long time, and asked: "Then what if I put the bottle by myself? He also charges me 6 yuan?"

Wang Xiaoyun just served a glass of non-alcoholic cocktail made by the new bartender, and sprayed out a mouthful of colorful water, saying: "You have to arrange the bottles by yourself, there must be more than 60 in one round, it will take a lot of time."

"That seems to be the case." Sister Zhu frowned twice, but she quickly found a new target. She tightened her jaw, her pupils were shining, and asked Huang Mao: "Your foreign company must You must be very rich, Xiao Huang, how much do you get as a monthly salary?"

In the era when people all over the country worked for the country, there was no need to hide the amount of salary. In some unscrupulous units, the salary slips were checked by everyone.

However, Huarui Laboratory has gradually taken on the appearance of a foreign company in later generations. The salary of Huang Mao and others was determined by Yang Rui alone and kept secret from one side.

In front of his lab colleagues, Huang Mao was at a loss for words.

At this time, Yang Rui had 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 even need to think about it, she said: "Our Dean Zhou is an old Red Army, administrative level seven, 320 yuan, plus subsidies and bonuses, just over 400 yuan."

Yang Rui nodded, but stretched out two fingers and said, "Huang Mao's salary is more than twice his."

"Impossible." Sister Zhu didn't believe it at all, and said, "Dean Zhou is an old revolutionary who joined the army 37 years ago. He is paid at the deputy department level, and he is still a railway employee. It is only 400 yuan. Xiao Huang..."

"Xiao Huang is the backbone of our laboratory and the author of the top international journals. Due to his age, he has not caught up with throwing his head and 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 conversation, smiled, looked at Li Yue, and said, "You say, our Xiao Huang is also qualified to live a better life?"

Li Yue nodded blankly.

Huang Mao was overjoyed, wishing he could flick the oxtail up and give Yang Rui a dogtail dance.
