Vivian Zhao's Choice Between Love and Wealth Chapter 227

At this time of night, there is really nothing interesting to see on the Bund, and it does not have the momentum to become the Wall Street of the East a decade later. Standing here and looking across the river, apart from the Pearl Tower which is under construction and is almost completed and a few famous buildings a decade later, Pudong is still desolate.

Lucas Shen couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had been reborn a few years earlier, he would definitely be able to take over all the prime land opposite and then build buildings. Build all the buildings, and collect rent after more than ten years, and he would be able to become the richest man in the country.

However, Lucas Shen turned around and looked at the magnificent and imposing retro-style building in the distance, with a smile on his face. That was the famous No. 12 The Bund, which used to be the HSBC Building and is now the city government office building. It will not be moved out until the Chinese New Year in 1995.

The cost of building this building for HSBC was 10 million taels of silver. This huge construction cost was almost the bank's two-year profit. It accounted for more than half of the total cost of all buildings on the Bund at that time. It was also the largest building on the Bund with the largest area, the widest facade, and the largest size.

Before the foundation was laid, a Feng Shui master was invited to select the auspicious date of May 5, 1921. When the ground was broken, a lot of gold and silver coins from all over the world were scattered in the foundation as a good omen for attracting wealth and treasure.
