    Chapter Index

    Dozens of central enterprises, state-owned enterprises and private enterprises converge here, wanting to take the lead in the construction pace, but somehow in the Lujiazui area is difficult to move.

    Buildings can not be built up, there are often buildings built to the halfway point when all kinds of accidents will occur, the weather along the Huangpu River is often unpredictable, gusty winds blowing up, the rain fell non-stop, on the contrary, the rest of Shanghai is still windy and sunny.

    During those years, basically all the works were stopped and dried up again, dried up not much and stopped again, completely in a state of stagnation, and the development of Lujiazui was cut to the waist.

    None of this is happening in the rest of Shanghai, which is being built in full swing.

    The government at that time had even discussed whether or not to develop another place, but after discussion, it was found that the cost would be too great, and it would upset the whole game, and even have far-reaching effects on the development of Shanghai in the future.

    By the early 1990s after the Lujiazui area had been shelved for a few years, the authorities became annoyed and personally went to the capital to seek help in resolving the matter.

    An old man who has already stepped down has pointed out a clear path, stating that at this time, there is actually manpower that can solve the problem.

    When the man who asked for help returned to Shanghai, he was accompanied by a Taoist priest in a scruffy Taoist robe.

    He made a trip to the capital, and he only invited back one person!

    In the course of three months, the Taoist priest had set his feet on every inch of land along the Huangpu River and around Lujiazui.

    Three months later he said, “The Nine Turns of the Seven Deadly Souls, the Dragon Head Locked Yin Bureau has been transformed into a new heaven.”

    The old man stayed in Shanghai for nearly a year more than a year after the Lujiazui Financial Center once again groundbreaking, this time the construction went very smoothly without any unthinkable things happen, a few years after the financial center towers over the Huangpu River.

    Years later, some secret stories about Lujiazui slowly came out, which is true or not no one can know, know the whole matter is only a few people.

    Some believed it, others laughed it off.

    Those who believe are those who had heard that the Lujiazui site happens to be on top of a dragon, and a sinful dragon at that.

    Moving earth on the dragon’s head is a great disrespect, God and the Dragon King naturally will not agree, not to make you a heaven and earth is strange.

    Later, a Feng Shui Taoist priest was invited to this place to break the situation, and relocated the Jin Mao Tower and the World Financial Center, which were originally scheduled to be built elsewhere, to this place, which was said to be built on the two dragon’s eyes, and the Shanghai International Center, which was built later, was blocked on top of the dragon’s mouth.

    Some people have said, it is because of the three buildings to completely suppress the dragon head, dead pressure to prevent the dragon from overturning the sky, three buildings like three nails to the evil dragon to nail half dead. Light only with this is not enough, in the late Lujiazui business district was built, Shanghai began to vigorously investment, enough to attract dozens of domestic and foreign banks and insurance companies converge here, to the amazing financial suppression of the dragon gas, to prevent the dragon has to turn over the day, and here can only be converged on the financial institutions, by no means!

    For not allowing the building of residential houses, once too many residential houses are built they will be sucked out of popularity by that dragon, thus bringing about the possibility of turning over.

    The bottom line of this rumor is that there is a dragon underneath the Lujiazui Financial Center, and without those three buildings and dozens of banks and insurance companies to hold it down, this area would only be an ordinary place, if not a piece of dead land.

    A decade later, the Lujiazui business district became the most prestigious commercial center in China and even in the world.

    And the legend about that Taoist priest basically all people know very little, those who believe that his identity is classified as top secret. But those who didn’t believe it smiled disdainfully and replied with two words: “Bullshit.”
