What do you think is the best place to work in Beijing? Let’s talk about the past and present life of Guomao CBD.

When working and living in Beijing, I have to mention Guomao CBD. Beijing Central Business District (Beijing Central Business District) is referred to as CBD. Within 6-7 kilometers of Guomao Bridge, many of the world's top 500 domestic companies are gathered here. There are a mess of big-name companies such as finance, insurance and real estate, as well as major media outlets such as CCTV and Beijing, and five-star hotels are scattered around. It is also the cradle of the growth of countless small and medium-sized innovative companies. The above is the official introduction. In Beijing dialect, CBD is China Beijing Dabeiyao, or CBD for short.

In the 1960s, a large number of industrial factories were gathered here, with machine manufacturing as the center. I remember there were the Great Wall Machinery Factory, the Metal Construction Factory, the Beijing Switch Factory, etc. This area was collectively called Dabeiyao . In 1990, the China World Hotel and the China World Hotel opened and were renamed the China World Hotel.

At that time, foreign companies had just entered China. Those who came to Beijing were all company CEOs and bosses. Those who lived in Guomao were especially generous with their money to doormen. Sometimes they would receive dozens of dollars. Many people would chat and compete to see who could receive the money. The tip is big. There are two hotels in front of Guomao. One is the 12-story white building of Jinglun Hotel, and the other is Jianguo Hotel. This was also the first Sino-foreign joint venture hotel in Beijing opened in 1982. At that time, most of the hotel managers came from this hotel. After it came out, many people don’t know this hotel now.

In the mid-1990s, entertainment nightclubs began to emerge in large numbers, stretching eastward from the Dabeiyao (Guomao) Bridge. Brilliant, Caesar's Palace, Shunfeng Seafood Restaurant, Case and then the Nongzhan Bridge are the Great Wall Hotel, which is famous in heaven and earth. The stage has a vibrating floor, which should be the most awesome equipment at the time.

The real estate reform started in 1998. SOHO Modern City on Jianguo Road just started selling for 5,000 per square meter. Sunshine 100 was 8,000. When Huamao opened, apartments were 14,000 per square meter and offices were 12,000 per square meter. Looking back now, according to Zhou Jintaoshen The prophecy says: It’s not that you don’t work hard, it’s that your life cycle is wrong.
