Chapter 1584 Oriental Pearl Tower

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Mr. Zhao finally had to do something serious.

    He is going to the Huangpu River to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

    Yes, it took the New District Management Committee six years to finally build this landmark.

    This is the wonder that Mr. Zhao never forgot to build when he took possession of Pudong.

    In fact, the tower was completed years ago, but in order to wait for his return, the inauguration ceremony was postponed for a month.

    When Mr. Zhao, accompanied by Jiang Xueying and Ma Xianglan, got off the bus from the Oriental Pearl Plaza on the riverside, he saw a magnificent tower standing in front of him.

    The style of this tower is also very similar to that of later generations. Three reinforced concrete diagonal braces are installed on the cylindrical tower base.  Three pillars together support a huge sphere.

    There are also three five-story-high concrete columns on the sphere, supporting the upper sphere with half the diameter.  At the top of the upper sphere is a long copper pole, pointing straight to the sky.

    Although its height of 150 meters is only one-third of the later ¡®Oriental Pearl Tower¡¯, it has set a new record for the world¡¯s tallest building¡ª¡ª

    Since 2560 BC, the crown of the world¡¯s tallest building has always belonged to the 146-meter Pyramid of Khufu.  However, it has been severely weathered over the years, and the height of the Pyramid of Khufu has continued to decrease, and it is now less than 140 meters.

    130 years ago, the Strasbourg Cathedral in France was completed, reaching a height of 142 meters, and finally took away this crown.

    Mr. Zhao made the Oriental Pearl Tower reach 150 meters in height just to grab the crown.

    Although this is a bit shameful - because the height of the sphere on the tower is less than 100 meters, the remaining 50 meters are all made up of copper poles.  But doesn¡¯t the church also rely on a spire?  This is the same as tiptoeing when taking pictures. It is a routine operation. If you want to lose face, you will lose.

    Zhao Hao did not step forward in a hurry, but took Jiang Xueying's hand and looked at the world's tallest tower from the far end of the square.

    ??I saw a brass globe installed in the center of the copper pole.  The two lower spheres are also covered with glass exterior walls, which are dazzling and shining in the sunlight.  The three spheres gradually become larger from top to bottom, just like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate, giving people the beauty of technology and the shock of the soul.

    "Good guy" Mr. Zhao was very satisfied with the visual effect of the Oriental Pearl Tower. It didn't look much shorter than the one in later generations. He thought that height really depends on comparison.

    The 450-meter Oriental Pearl TV Tower in later generations, compared with the taller "syringe", "wine starter", "eggbeater" and the like on the side, does not have the shocking feeling of such a solitary peak.

    "Yes, it's so tall." Today, Jiang Xueying wore a silver-grey horse-faced dress with floral patterns, a moon-white pink and green Qionghua collared jacket, and a light-colored cloak. The little bird clung to her.  Following Zhao Hao, there were two people with the usually energetic and neat Chief Judge Jiang.

    "I heard that you can see it in Nantong Prefecture. Are you satisfied, Master?" Sister Ma resumed her role as secretary. She heard that someone had successfully stolen her home during her absence. She will not dare to give it to her again in the future.  I'm on a long vacation.

    "I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied." Zhao Hao nodded happily: "It's better than I imagined. It will definitely become a symbol of the entire Pudong and even the entire Jiangnan!"

    "That's for sure. In the past few years, even before it was built, people have come from thousands of miles away to visit it." Jiang Xueying said with a smile, but secretly murmured in his heart that the name was not chosen well.  Li Mingyue was so proud.

    What is it called the ¡®Pearl of the Orient¡¯? It would be better to call it the ¡®Pearl of the South of the Yangtze River¡¯

    The whole family was admiring this magnificent spectacle as if watching a child. There was a row of ceremonial guards bearing official titles, leading a green cloth official sedan and two blue cloth official sedans.

    Seeing that Su Songbing Beidao and the two magistrates had arrived, Lu Yan, director of the new district management committee, who had never dared to disturb the young master and his wife, and Yan Su, the magistrate of Shanghai, quickly led the local officials and gentry to greet them.

    Niu Mogong and He Wenwei got off the sedan chair and started chatting with everyone.  Jin Xuezeng, the old man of Songjiang Ground, ignored his younger brother and ran straight towards Zhao Hao and his wife, bowing and saying with a smile on his face:

    "Happy New Year to Master and Master. I was supposed to go to Jinmao Garden to pick up Master first, but I didn't expect you old people to be here first."

    "Be serious, you ladies are still young." Zhao Hao scolded him: "You are already wearing a big red robe, and you are still acting like a monkey all day long."

    ¡°Disciples are always the same in front of their master.¡± Jin Xuezeng chuckled and walked towards the crowd with Zhao Hao.

    Over there, Niu Mozong and He Wenwei also hurriedly came forward and took the lead in saluting Mr. Zhao.

    "You two adults have killed this junior." Zhao Hao quickly returned the greeting with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be such a big deal."Sheng looked up, his neck almost bent at a right angle.  I couldn¡¯t help but sigh:

    "Wow, what a big bunch of candied haws!"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the audience and laughed at the scene.  But this is a proud work designed by Mr. Zhao himself. Who knows if Mr. Zhao likes to hear these words?

    My husband is Mr. Zhao¡¯s favorite disciple, so Mr. Zhao may not hold a grudge against him.  But if they laugh, I can't protect Master Qi from treating them as human beings.

    "Master Jin, don't talk nonsense." Jin Xuezeng's immediate boss Niu observed and quickly said: "How can this be a candied haws? This is a Feng Shui tower!"

    "There should be peaks towering between the water mouths, so those who store money and promote cultural fortunes are the ones." Lao Niu shook his head proudly and said: "Pudong is the mouth of the Yangtze River and Huangpu. It can be said to be the best water mouth in the world. Naturally, it must be ranked first in the world.  The tall towers are commensurate with each other. Mr. Zhao built this Oriental Pearl Tower as a magnificent way to store wealth and promote culture in Pudong and Jiangnan!"

    "That's right!" All the gentry and officials said in agreement: "Young Master really pays attention to Feng Shui!"
