This week, the hit drama "Flowers" has come to an end, has Mr. Bao gone bankrupt? Will you turn back to Po and have nothing, or will you go to Pudong to make a comeback?
The TV series left a lot of foreshadowing, which was euphemistically expressed in many details.
According to the "Flowers" TV series and the development trajectory of Shanghai's Pudong New Area, we can draw oneRelatively definite conclusions
Mr. Bao entered Chuansha Town in the early stage of Pudong New Area planning and has laid out the future development strategy. And according to historical inference, the land reserved by Mr. Bao in the play is most likely the area where Shanghai Disneyland is located today.
You Are the Eternal Pain in My Chest (single)., Wang Jie; Ye Huan - Our Youth.
There are two key points in the plot that support this ending.
The first key point is that before Mr. Bao was forced to liquidate, in the ** game with the Kirin Club, it was proposed to exchange all the ** chips for all the land use rights acquired by the Kirin Club in Chuansha Town, Pudong, Shanghai, that is, in exchange for a long-term land lease contract.
And in this **, Mr. Bao also mentioned that he and his brother Fagen bought 20 acres of land in Chuansha Town before, and the plot had been broadcast before, Mr. Bao handed over the land certificate to Fagen's son Ah Si to do his career, and taught Ah Si the trick of rapid rise in life:
What can change a person's fate the fastest is the land and **".
The second key point is in the last episode of the TV series, director Wong Kar-wai used one of the few sunny and large-scale scenes in the whole drama to express it through Hu Ge's narration:
We are still looking forward to the next winter going to spring, and the flowers will be blooming. The heart of a child is always there, people don't make a sound, God knows. ”
Such an overall expression has multi-layered meanings, and we pick the most direct literal meaning and scene rendering to experience it, to the effect that Hu Ge is still ambitious and has a bright future. In other words, his advance layout of the land in Chuansha Town, Pudong is a forward-looking strategic choice.
People don't make a sound, God knows", the "day" here is the current situation brought by the national and urban fortunes, and more specifically, the planning of the Pudong New Area has been implemented and strides forward.
According to Xie Guoping's "History of the Development of Pudong", Chapter 10, Section 1, "Rehearsal Before WTO Accession" records:
The development of Pudong can be roughly divided into three phases. The third stage was in 1995, based on Document No. 61, which allowed Pudong New Area to open up to the outside world in the field of services, and the policy content of the document came from a closed-door meeting at the Chuansha Hotel in Pudong in 1995.
In March 1995, Wang Zhan, director of the Shanghai Development Research Center, Yao Xitang, director of the Pudong Reform and Development Research Institute, and a group of about 30 leading decision-making consulting experts and scholars "brainstormed" for three days and three nights in a hotel in Chuansha, Pudong, and finally formed a report.
The core content of the report is to recommend that Pudong New Area be allowed to open up to foreign investment in certain areas such as services. Includes:
1. Foreign-funded banks are allowed to conduct RMB business in Pudong on a trial basis;
2. Allow the establishment of Sino-foreign joint venture foreign trade companies in Pudong;
3. Allowing the establishment of Sino-foreign joint venture insurance companies in Pudong;
4. Foreign trade companies from other provinces in the mainland are allowed to set up subsidiaries in Pudong;
5. Implement certain free port policies in the Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone.
The people of Shenzhen were very surprised to see this document. Yi smiled and said that this document laid the foundation for the development of Pudong's financial industry and modern service industry. The curtain has also been set up on Pudong as the core area of the international financial center. [Note 1].
Combined with the plot and historical data at the end of the TV series, it can be found that Bao always took a break from ** to develop in Chuansha Town, Pudong, and later the Oriental Pearl was completed and appeared on the National Day. The planning of Pudong New Area has been accelerated since 1995.
In 2009, the state approved the construction of the Disneyland project, and the townships such as Zhaohang Village, Flagpole Village, and Jinjia Village in Chuansha, Pudong, were enclosed into the Disneyland plot. [Note 2].
Therefore, Mr. Bao should have perfectly avoided the stock market crash in 1994, and laid out Pudong in advance, and then encountered the development of Shanghai Disneyland, stepping on all the development rhythm of getting rich quick. Therefore, the ending of Mr. Bao in the TV series "Flowers" is not only not miserable, but has entered the fast lane of development.
There are two details worth noting here:
The first is whether Kirin will be badly damaged after the 1994 stock market crash? It does not rule out the possibility of transferring the land assets of Chuansha Town to Baozong. In addition, Mr. Bao has a Hong Kong-funded background, and the well-known "Li Chaoren" in the real estate industry is a representative of Hong Kong-funded capital.
The second is whether the Chuansha Town plot held by Mr. Bao was later included in the scope of Disney, and the TV series did not explain, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that in the cycle of rapid urbanization, there is a high probability that Bao will eat this wave of urban development dividends, and the sharp increase in asset value is a high probability event.
Let's revisit the two famous sentences about real estate in the TV series "Flowers":
Only the land is with tomorrow
"If people don't make a sound, God knows".
The "sky" here is the fortune of the country and the city, which is the trend of the times and the necessity of history. ** Only the capital market cannot accompany the growth of cities and individuals for a long time, and the urban construction attached to the land is the cornerstone of development.
The expression of the TV series is already quite restrained. We can understand that from the perspective of review, TV dramas will be very cautious or even not used in some sensitive industries and trademarks.
Just as the monologue at the end of the TV series "Flowers" says, "The past is everywhere, and the tree of life repeats itself", spring, summer, autumn and winter are the four seasonsThe TV series is not about the incompleteness and sadness after the flowers wither, but about revealing the continuous cycle of individual fate under the torrent of the times.
Ah Bao made a fortune from a grassroots level, and the account was almost cleared in the capital game. The smash hit Sanyang clothing did not make him a clothing or foreign trade tycoon, and he became a real estate tycoon by mistake when he wanted to be the first stock of fashion. Escaped the stock market crash and stood on the cusp of the times and the center of the city.
A loss may turn out to be a gain.
The world is impermanent, and love and righteousness are always there.
Uncle has made Mr. Bao, and Mr. Bao has achieved everyone around him.
Origin and extinction, wealth gathers and wealth disperses.
The vicissitudes of life, only the heart of a child is not old.
Whether it is in the play or in reality, it depends on vision, mind, belief, and affection to go through the cycle.
If the tone is still there, the rivers and lakes will definitely see you again.
