 在迪拜黄金街的中国游客

金融危机下的迪拜街头依然熙攘,但是随着膨胀的基建坍塌成百亿美元债务黑洞,资金链断裂让八九成的新建房屋歇工,让人们丢车弃房,让黄金街失色,让高端商场和酒店竞相打折……

编者按:

曾几何时,迪拜是整个阿拉伯世界的一颗耀眼的明珠,金融与房地产的紧密结合,创造了一连串“没有做不到,只有想不到”的辉煌神话。

迪拜崩盘震惊全世界,给“地王”频出的中国振聋发聩的警示,迷信房地产拉动经济的人士遭遇当头一棒。经济复苏中的中国应该从中吸取哪些惨痛教训呢?

记者作为第一家深入迪拜进行采访的华南媒体于近日飞抵迪拜,为读者还原房地产投资热潮消退后,这个阿联酋第二大城市的真实面貌。

“迪拜还没有崩溃。”身处暴风眼中心的迪拜街头,人们这样议论着。当地报纸头版几乎刊登着同一张照片:阿布扎比、迪拜两大酋长并肩而行,前者答应给后者100亿美元的援助。

11月25日,迪拜酋长国政府的国有企业迪拜世界宣布暂停偿还巨额债务后,全球股市受到重挫。更多的人在担心迪拜的这一危机,会在多大程度上影响全球经济的复苏。

短短一个月内,迪拜从天堂回到了人间。铺天盖地的信息让它坠入迷雾:是否真如外国媒体所称“危机才显露出冰山的一角”?迪拜摔的这一跤是否元气大伤?记者深入当地一线现场,从不同的细节中靠近真相。

丢弃在迪拜机场的奔驰。

  迪拜机场:

豪华弃车秀令人震撼

早就听说迪拜机场在去年就出现了“弃车潮”。一年过后,当记者亲眼目睹成排的名车灰头土脸地挤在一起,感觉依旧震撼。

一辆在中国国内售价近90万元的奔驰ML350,静静待在机场停车场,成为主人仓皇出逃时的累赘。13日当地时间凌晨1时30分,记者刚下飞机就在迪拜机场停车场看到了这部“大奔”。金融危机爆发以来,逃离这儿的商人数以万计,许多人走时背了一身债。记者发现奔驰并不孤独,路虎、英菲尼迪、大众跑车、Jeep等高级汽车都成了难兄难弟,惨成每天目送飞机起落的“看客”。

  黄金街:

店员都在用汉语套近乎

迪拜人热爱黄金,几乎人人穿金戴银。由于消费活跃、价格适宜、款式众多和禁卖假货,迪拜黄金街在国际享有盛名。穿过海边一条巷子,记者远远就看到黄金街牌坊上滚动播放着当日的国际金价。这里金铺多半是印度人经营,中国游客成了“淘金”主力,几乎每个店员都能用汉语“你好”、“谢谢”招徕客人。

不过,记者看到,金铺里常常只有两三人流连,有些还空无一人。由于生意清淡,部分店员从柜台跑到门口迎客。来自印度的一名店员向记者展示了一些热门的22K金饰,一款13克的新款黄金手链,开价1075美元,经过记者一番砍价895美元就能成交。

在迪拜股票交易所,股市低迷,股民很郁闷。

交易所:

老股民称“全跌回去了”

在阿布扎比伸出援手后,迪拜股市收获了年内最大的单日涨幅,当地主要报纸的头条都显得欢欣鼓舞。但就在第二日,本报在迪拜股票交易所看到的却是另一番景象。

“All gone。”(全跌回去了),在迪拜的交易所里,一位老股民对记者说:“我在股市投资了50万迪拉姆(1迪拉姆约合1.88元人民币),全部还套着。”说到后市走势,他无奈反问:“谁知道呢?” 

在交易所采访时,活跃的20多只股票几乎都在下跌,这让原以为股指能继续高开的人们很纠结,只是坐在交易所里的沙发上或者发呆,或者在闲聊。

  名店酒店:

祭出打折“杀手锏”诱客

虽然蒙受了债务危机的影响,但迪拜机场的免税区和市区购物中心依旧人山人海,购物天堂祭出了“杀手锏”——打折。在著名的迪拜酋长国购物中心,记者看到全球最奢华的品牌一应俱全。店员告诉记者,虽然“购物节”未到,但商场内已有不少品牌提前让利,很多品牌只要半价。“今年来购物的游客是少了些”,在劳力士专柜,一位中国店员说,现在可以申请到7折优惠。

而坐落在世界最大人工岛朱美拉棕榈岛上的八星级亚特兰蒂斯酒店也正忙于打折,2900元迪拉姆的双人房现在只要2016迪拉姆。虽然酒店在卖力推销7折房,但记者发现更多的游客只是冲着大堂的巨型水族缸来的:这儿有空运来的海豚、魔鬼鱼等6万尾深海鱼。 (刘新宇、刘俊)

You don't see it coming to you yet? Go get yourself a good pair of glasses.

Look again!

Friend, if you ever find glasses that can magically tell the future as you have, please sell them to me so I can buy toto, 4D, go casino, play shares everyday and no need to work for the rest of my life.

Thanks, much appreciated.

I am sorry to tell you gambling is not my department. I am from the crisis department.

I see crisis on way to Singapore which citizens are fleeing and then government is desperately refilling people with foreigners who are even more ready than Singaporeans to flee when there is crisis.

Dubai is better than Singapore because they have more oil than water here.

Singaporeans not only no oil nor water, also no brains nor guts.

That is why when crisis hit here it will become 10X worst than Dubai.

Oil is what that had got Dubai out of crisis not mouth water. Your Emirate Lee here have not one drop of oil but too much mouth water.

President Nathan also no oil but got 40kg of grease.

What is going to get Singapore out of crisis? Don't tell me ego can help?

Wow, you are a talented person, can see so many problems and no solutions.

We are not worthy of such stupendousness.

I don't owe any body any solution because I am not draw and salaries from public funds nor am I standing for election to ask for political appointments.

To ask for solution you people must be ready to pay the necessary prices, are you ready to afford that?

Those who owe you solutions are those who are drawing huge salaries from your taxes, and holed in offices of high powers. You gave elected them and appointed them don't you know what to do? You have to make them come out with solutions or leave their high places, I don't have to tell you these.

There is a distinction between edible lard and grease.

I'm edible.
