The completion of the Wujiang Building shocked the world and has become a new landmark in Shanghai!
In addition, nearby buildings include the Candle in the Wind Tower, the Burj Al Arab Hotel, the Anara Building, the Petronas Twin Towers (Kuala Lumpur Petronas Towers), the Jin Mao Tower, the Shanghai World Financial Center, the Shanghai Tower, Tomson Riviera, as well as the former Google campus tent-like Bayview, Apple's spaceship headquarters building, and Amazon's Helix headquarters building...
Lujiazui combines beauty and technology, making it one of the most attractive places in the world.
Even Manhattan Island in the US is far inferior to Lujiazui.
The buildings on Manhattan Island are old buildings from many years ago. Putting aside everything else, in terms of height alone, they were simply crushed into dust.
Currently, the Wujiang Building, at 828 meters tall, is the tallest in the world.
The Shanghai Tower, at 632 meters tall, is the second tallest building in the world.
The Shanghai World Financial Center, at 492 meters tall, is the third tallest in the world.
The Twin Towers of the Milky Way, at 462 meters tall, are the fourth tallest in the world.
Lujiazui has taken all four spots in the ranking of the tallest skyscrapers, which is absolutely amazing.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lujiazui has long been a global sensation!
Even before Lujiazui was officially opened to the public, countless people had already spontaneously come to the Bund to take photos of Lujiazui.
It is worth mentioning that the original Lujiazui had an area of only 31.78 km², while the new Lujiazui has an area of 70 km². Wujiang Group incorporated a lot of land behind Lujiazui into Lujiazui, but most of the land was used to build R&D buildings.

"Attention everyone, Chairman Zhao has sent an email to all employees. Starting in 1999, the entire Wujiang Group will gradually move into Lujiazui!!!"
At this point, many senior executives of the subsidiary began to tell their employees the good news.
All the employees were overjoyed and felt proud and honored; some were even too excited to sleep that night.
"Ahhhh, finally we can move into Lujiazui! Oh my god, I'm so excited! Lujiazui is so beautifully developed; it's practically everyone's dream place!!!"
"I've been looking forward to this for so long, and we're finally moving into Lujiazui! My buddies are going to be so jealous, hahaha..."
"..."
When the contents of the email Zhao Ye sent to his employees were exposed, it immediately caused a sensation across the internet.
Countless netizens expressed their envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"Damn, I really want to work for Wujiang Group! Working in such a high-end skyscraper must be awesome! I'm so envious!"
"I'm not going to say anything more. I'll study hard and strive to join Wujiang Group in the future!"
"Just wondering, what are the requirements to join Wujiang Group? I only graduated from high school, is there still a chance?"
"Brother, there's an opportunity! You could go to New Oriental Training School, which is under the Wujiang Education Group, for further studies in programming. After graduation, you could become a programmer at Wujiang Group..."
"Bro, learning programming is great! It's easy to find a job. Wujiang Group has a subsidiary that specializes in software outsourcing, basically OEM manufacturing. The requirements aren't high; a basic level of English and programming is enough to get a job there. And New Oriental Training School's strengths are English and programming. By the way, I'm a senior from New Oriental Training School, so welcome to join us!"
"Wow, I just randomly bumped into a netizen who's a student at New Oriental Training School? Are there that many graduates from our school? I'm a student at New Oriental Training School too!"
"Of course there are many. New Oriental training schools are found in almost every first-, second-, and third-tier city, and the number of graduates alone has already exceeded 100,000! However, most of them work in software outsourcing, earning significantly more than they would working in factories. A few outstanding students have even gone directly into large internet companies like Wujiang Portal, Baidu, Amazon, Alibaba, Taobao, and ICQ..."
"..."
The completion of Lujiazui has attracted more talent from home and abroad to join Wujiang Group.
Wujiang Group is also showcasing its strength to the world through Lujiazui.
Whenever people see Lujiazui, they can't help but exclaim from the bottom of their hearts, "Wujiang Group is really awesome!"
On January 1, 1999, Wujiang Group began to move into Lujiazui.
At the same time, major global companies have flocked to Lujiazui.
Lujiazui will definitely become China's financial center in the future, and being able to work here reflects the strength of a company.
Many Fortune 500 companies, including GE, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Panasonic, Sony, and HSBC, had already reached agreements with Wujiang Group to move into Lujiazui before it was even completed.
In February 1999, the rent for office buildings in Lujiazui reached a record high of $150 per square foot per year, making Wujiang Group so rich in rent that it was hard to keep up with the demand.

...
As time went by, the initial joy of moving into Lujiazui gradually subsided.
In my previous life, in 2000, the dot-com bubble burst.
The internet bubble in this era has inflated significantly, leaving Wujiang Group with very little time left.
For internet companies, going public and raising capital is an urgent matter.
Starting in February 1999, many websites under the Wujiang Group began financing and IPO plans.
"Liu Yinyin, have someone spread the word that Amazon, Alibaba, Taobao, Rotten Tomatoes, Netflix, Pandora, and most of the websites under the Wujiang Group are preparing to launch financing and IPO plans!"
