Some of these, the Pearl Tower, here is 468 m, so it will be the third, once again large. Yeah, I mean, that's going to be the Landmar building, right? It is intended to be the capital piece of the Shanghai Skyline.
I mean. their scale compared to where they were 20 years ago, before 1990, the tallest building here was a 20M tall fire station, now they have over 1100 skyscrapers, that's a certain pace of change, but authoritarian states They don't care about public consultation or planning permission they just do what they want they want to make sure Shanghai is the best city in the world, it is the gateway to China and they want it to be a success in every way for the last 15 years , this place has increased its size sixfold and doubled its population to 20 million. It's a city on steroids that offers incredible opportunities for those with a vision to profit.
Maybe you don't realize it. HSBC has always been more than just a British store representing Hong Kong. Kong Shanghai Bank Corporation and has been here for over 150 years. Shanghai is their home and to give you an idea of ​​how important this place is to the company now, they spent £35 million moving their headquarters from that tower there to this tower here. distance of about 500 yards and the reason they've done this is so you can see the new Over the River logo there, why? Well, because HSBC wants a high-profile front-row seat at the world's future financial center, it's all part of the Communist Party's master plan and a million miles from the fanatical forces that seized power in 1949, President Ma must have turned his grave when today's communist decreed in 1992 that it is glorious to be rich.
China has presided over double-digit growth since this is Shanghai. Rolls-Royce showroom there is just one small problem there are no real rolls-royces they have all been sold there was one here this morning but someone bought it this classic British brand has become a top status symbol for the rich in Shanghai and it certainly isn't A cheap Rolls-Royce Phantom here will set you back £700,000 - almost double the price in the UK - and it's people like Charlie Jong, 36, who are emptying Shanghai car showrooms. State-trained as an architect, he left his government job to set up a hotel and an architecture center. business, you can now purchase any of these high-end engines on a whim.
Charlie's millionaire lifestyle is a world away from his parents' rural poverty. Cadillac, of course, the modern Shanghai. Yes, you are very much the new dynamic and modern face of Shanghai. What was your dream then? be a great architect like Norman Foster, Mr. Norman Foster, you want to be like him, yes that is the dream, how great do you think you can be as a businessman? maybe we can duplicate Bill Gates, duplicate Bill Gates, maybe it can all be true. Here in Shanghai in China, do you really think Charlie has a chance of being twice as big as Bill Gates?
Yes, I actually think he should be worried. Bill Gates, yes, she should worry about Chinese. Yes, there is a lot. from a young man like me, uh, maybe Millions, what you're saying is that in China there are millions of Charlies and you're coming well, you're coming for us, yeah I'm coming, it's this bullish attitude that has given Shanghai its competitive age , becoming the capitalist playground to which the rest of its socialist state aspires. The only thing I'm learning about Shanghai is that they don't do things by halves here and they definitely don't like to take second place, for example when they heard there were some big hotels.
Going up to places like Dubai, they thought to themselves no, we can do better than that and they built this Park Hyatt, which at 93 stories is officially the tallest hotel in human history. Let's just hope all of this is based on more of Dubai, changing economic sands, you'll find the best room here on the 88th floor, wow that's a view but that's how it should be because in communist China you don't just get an ordinary presidential suite, but you get a presidential suite for one of these babies. at 8,000 a night, but for that you get quite a bit, you have your own private kitchen with your own chef, your own butler, a steam room, an infinity pool, almost every form of capitalist luxury you could want and it's not for Westerners American foreigners.
It's the local communists who are enjoying it. I just wonder if this is what President Mau had in mind when he introduced the cultural revolution. Shanghai is changing the world's preconceptions about Red China, although not without the help of a new generation of British X-pads. A bit of 26 year old SLO, you probably wouldn't mind, right? I'm not like SL, nothing. I tried to get familiar with the locally produced easy and bright tiger while a man and his wife bring the sinim back with two hands. to this city, what do you think President Mom would have done with his act?
He would give it a back seat at last count there were 20 million people who called this place home and they continue to come at a rate of 200,000 a day. year after year Shanghai is one of the largest cities in the world and everyone is here for exactly the same thing: money, it is a far cry from rural China where peasants live on miserable incomes, less than a third of their city comrades, while luxury apartment blocks are springing up all over Shanghai. to house the new Urban Super Rich, it is owned by Pearl Lamb, a multi-millionaire art dealer whose personal collection takes up an entire floor, so she has to move into the luxurious Penthouse upstairs, how are you here?
Nice to see you, thanks for inviting me, oh my god, how far does she go? You can skate. Is this your dining room table? Yeah, how many did you get over there? If I reach the limit, that's 66 66 people, yes Paul, can you pass the Sal please? Very artistic. Deco, right? This is not Art Deco. This is from the '60s. I knew I said the wrong thing. What's here? Do you like being on the St. Enterprise ship? Not so good when you're hungover. Feeling a little dizzy here? uh no, actually I feel very good here, here is my favorite offer, an automatic opening lbe and there is a terrace that opens to a view that only the richest could afford.
Look, what a view this penthouse has to entertain, so Pearl has invited some of her influencers. Friends to chat with me are Lynn, the Internet entrepreneur, Araria, the industrialist, and Zoe, the film producer. All four of you ladies are very successful in your own right. They actually run a large manufacturing business for some of the most famous fashion brands. In the world, you don't know who you make clothes for? I'm sorry I can't tell you, why can't you tell me who they are? I have the contract with them. I can't talk about who is producing. my factory, but these are some of the biggest brands in the world, oh, very well known, famous, I think so, but they don't want the world to know.
Sorry, don't go deeper. No, but they don't want the world to know. I know you'll do them in Shanghai. Oh I'm sorry. In a way, I see what I love about Shanghai is that all the women are so confident and, as Americans would say, you kick ass. I think the Shanghai woman rules because it is her husband who rules. cook who takes care of the kids who does everything because they really love the ladies what the guys come home from A Hard Day work and cook clean take care of the kids what do you guys do or go on a trip?
No, they, you know? Here they worship you when you get married you don't take your husband's name, yes, really, yes, these are the communist rules, that's true, yes, look, there are some things about communist China that are obviously pretty good from your point of view in view, very liberal. Ed everyone and are you free to talk about anything here? I mean, can you talk about politics quite freely and openly in a private setting? You know, in a private setting. I think you can talk about anything. Correct communism could have brought equality for women and maybe. The well-healed can talk freely in their secluded penhouses, but just 2 minutes up the road things are quite different here you'll find the familiar authoritarian face of Red China.
This is the old town of Shanghai, where life is lived on the street throughout the old town. In part of Shanghai you will see signs like this on buildings, which means they have effectively been condemned. The government decided to tear them down and build something new and exciting. Now the people who live here are displaced to any place the government deems appropriate and there is no right of appeal, no petition, this is communist China, you are outmatched, the alternative is to be rehoused in new suburban developments built by the state or accept cash compensation, but there have been angry protests by Shanghainese living here over the ridiculous amounts of the government's offer as an incentive to move away from this highly valuable inner-city land with a density population that is already four times larger than that of New York.
I suppose something has to give to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of rural immigrants who come here each year in search of the Shanghai dream, but the 20 million people who live in Shanghai are just the tip of China's 1.3 billion people. It is a huge potential market, no matter how you look at it. The idea of ​​seizing this small portion makes Western companies salivate. I'm standing here in the middle of Nanging Road. which is Shanghai's number one shopping street and to be honest, it feels almost exactly the same as being in the middle of central London. You've got iconic brands like Marks and Spencers down the road, Chanel Gucci Armani, everything you'd expect. at home, even with the horrible traffic and dozens of Chinese restaurants.
I know where you are thinking that he goes all the way to Shanghai just for his weekly shopping. Well let me tell you it's worth it because every time I leave my local store. Now they are out of eels. Now I know why Tesco calls itself a convenience door, bless me easy tiger in many ways this is like a normal test come home here is the cafe for example NES Cafe Maxwell House but ifmany things. You all have many options that you should like. You receive many invitations. You have to choose which one interests you more. "You're in high demand, are you Queeny?", so the youth of Shanghai know all our Western brands and the celebrities who hack the web have great Tas on their clothes and they like nothing more than having a good time in places like the Mint Shanghai's trendiest club and restaurant.
Are they exactly like us or are they really shocking what I'm about to do because the Chinese are becoming very fond of their French wine. The problem is that they don't really like the taste, so what they do is take a bottle of This is a good pomal de sombra 203. They do what we would all do with it, which is pour it into a nice glass and then they do what I think it is an absolute sacrilege Veno. They take Coke, pour it on top and then drink it if that's the case. progress, you can keep up with it, mind you, I suppose they feel the same when they see us putting milk in our tea, and indeed, when it comes to the good things in life, they are catching up quickly.
I, the forge is magnificent, I honestly rate the forge very highly it is amazing and I am amazed at the dirty dealings in the beautiful game. I hear he's as corrupt as hell. Freze gets bags of cash before the game and then you'll have to replenish that at Halim, the Chinese are very smart. Their expertise lies in stealing our Western ideas and then making them bigger, better and cheaper. There are small towns and cities all over this country that have global monopolies on household items. 90% of the world's buttons are made in China. 5% of the buttons in the world. duv 85% of the world's toys, that's why the Chinese are getting so rich and that's why we in the West are getting so nervous that China is taking over the world, but even I feel a little nervous upon discovering that one of Britain's most iconic brands is being hand-built here in Shanghai.
I never thought I would find a black cab factory here in China. Alright guys, ready to go after decades of manufacturing and Coventry, they are.building them here too now project manager John lur explains why I see I'm gutted John, I'm honest, they make all the quilts, they make all the pillows, they make all the toys, couldn't you just keep your hands off our black cats? They have done it because we will build in the UK and sell in the UK. This joint venture here opens up big markets for us that the country plant probably couldn't achieve.
Who is buying these things? This opens up all of Asia and many other international countries. markets, but why will China speak for itself the mask? An average salary in Shanghai is just £3,500 a year. It costs at least six times more to hire a worker in the UK. There's a lot of talk in Britain about slave labor conditions for workers in China and stuff, how are they looked after here? In fact I think they are well looked after here, they are expected to work hard, but I think that is the case in the UK in certain factories and of course there is also the fact that unlike in the UK There are no independent unions here, so wages are kept profitably low, which means our products can afford to be cheap, and therefore we are all complicit in this round of Mero.
How has it been for you? I mean, you're a classic brummie and here you're transported to this completely different world. What's it been like? It's great. I mean, it really is. I always find everyone to be very helpful. Are they good at doing business? Yes, definitely, yes, but they want to win, right? They want to be number one, yes, they do. I want to win and you just have to fight in your corner. You got used to the food, but the food is excellent, there is no problem with the food. I guess to be honest, at the center it's all, all caring and anyway, Chinese people are like that.
In fact, that's a view when When it comes to food here in Shanghai, there seems to be no limit to what they can produce now. This is what I call a fuagra meal, the best roast pigeon caviar with truffle and a variety of delicious Lees for pudding for wine, an excellent Sor cabinet and a delicious chardonay, but here's the twist, all of this was produced in this city ​​or its surroundings. This is Laris, perhaps the best dining experience in Shanghai. Just refurbishing the place cost 2.2 million. It's run by David Laris, the nauseating chef who once ran Teren Conrad's largest restaurant. in London David, how are you?
Thank you now, this is all basically coming from Shanghai, all around, absolutely, it's one of the things that people love to hear and it's a surprise, but I have to say at this point I haven't. I haven't tried it and you know that I am a very demanding connoisseur. I'm stuck on this. Yes, please go ahead, although I have eaten a lot of caviar in my time and I think you have Beluga, which is Chinese. Beluga, I mean, it's pretty good, it has a proper caviar flavor. I mean, how good is this from your point of view.
To be honest with you, we'd be lying if we said it's as good as the best Iranian Beluga, you know? o o o Royal Beluga out there, but it's certainly very, very good and I think a little bit better, the old sh, little sh. I mean, I've never heard of Chinese wine let alone drank it before. Which should, but I should be feeling worse here, right? I know I think the ones we chose for you are the best around here in these parts, but what's incredible is the amazing amount of wine that is made and sold here for banquets, which is pretty good, yes, these are the ones that This is the one I chose best, so they're really doing with wine what the Chinese do with everything we do, they're making it bigger and better and they're probably going to give it back to us.
I think the wines are a little further away, but I could see where it will mature to that point, but certainly a lot of other products I definitely want to say it's magnificent. I think these guys are doing a pretty good job. I mean, there are a lot of very rich people in Shanghai. craziest lunches or dinners you've ever had here uh yo we had three guys come in and spend around 25 30,000 R&B in 30 minutes and then drop around £3,000 in and out quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, delivery quick, um, we've had I've had clients come in and spend the equivalent of, you know, 67,000 on a dinner for two.
Well, since a Chinese in the city costs about a f, it's not exactly cheap. I wonder if they were hungry again half an hour later. At this point you might be panicking that China is taking over the world, but don't worry, there's still one British export they haven't quite mastered yet, although the state has a plan for this too. It's an incredible English ground, this is Shanghai Shener FC, the last one. F year their second in the Chinese Premiership like any other team in this league, they were formed 17 years ago after party officials decided that football was vital to national prestige, as English football commentator Rowan Simons explained, it is a game of two halves.
BR, here we are. in the middle of the Shanghai match there's no doubt there's a very angular sized field for this, I mean, they've got, you know, the famous Liverpool 'You'll Never Walk Alone' sign, it was all stolen from Britain, isn't it? like that at all? In the mid 80s when China started to open up, that's when television opened up, they started watching football on TV at the time they saw the lights of Liverpool, they were doing well in Europe and that's the football culture that they learned. I've heard it's like corrupt like yes, there are many stories of referees being given large amounts of cash or bags of cash before the game, both teams come in and then you'll have to replenish that at Halim.
There are very, very serious corruption issues here throughout the history of the league and that. This happens even at a professional level like this, especially at a professional level. I have to say that we do amateur games or charity cups and the same thing happens there, which makes our Premiership look flawless, doesn't it? But what about this state plan to become the number one soccer bowling nation in the world, what would worry me is that when they met with Athletics, it took about 10 minutes and the next thing we knew the Olympics were going good. I mean, Athletics wasn't really the case, they didn't win. a single medal in athletics what they did 10 years ago was pick which sports they thought the rest of the world was weaker and focus on those there's a lot of female weightlifting there aren't that many women lifting weights around the world uh shooting and things like This They were quite clever, they were very, very clever and an absolute state plan to win the Olympics by focusing on sports that other countries did not take seriously.
From the looks of it, they have a long way to go with football. I mean, on a positive note. It's very comforting that the only thing they can't do better than us is absolutely good football and that should give us a lot of comfort because they're bloody useless. Shanghai has revealed itself as a heady fusion of East and West, an emerging giant. Forged from the most compelling principles of seemingly opposing ideologies, this city is the best of capitalism and communism and all the worst. I can only compare it to Victoria and London, where the super-rich and the desperately poor live together in this vast, steaming cauldron of consumption. and build everything on a gigantic scale, like a modern Industrial Revolution, and just like those Victorians, there is a super confidence here that is really contagious.
Recent surveys showed that 83% of Chinese believe that tomorrow will be better than today and Shanghai embodies that attitude.
