Chapter 257: Investigation
Early the next morning, the Cantonese opera troupe took a bus to the train station to return to Guangzhou by rail, and at this time, people from all walks of life from all walks of life waiting in front of the sending bank with flowers and fruit baskets were waiting there, almost blocking the Kowloon railway station.
The Xiangjiang police immediately dispatched police forces to maintain order, and finally sent them to the train, and the crowd who saw them off also stuffed the flowers and gifts in their hands through the car window, quite like the feeling of the people sending off the soldiers in those days, until the departure bell rang and the train started, and the crowd slowly dispersed.
Chen Dahe, who had already packed and thrown other things to Xinhua News Agency to help consign, simply sat in the vehicle arranged by Maxim and entered the deep border from the Luohu port to start Oliver's inspection trip.
After completing the customs clearance procedures, the car continued to drive forward, and Chen Dahe looked out through the car window, feeling very different from when he came here last year.
Last year, it was a dead silence and desolation, and the terrain was very uneven, now it looks like a large area of slope has been bulldozed, soil and rocks have been filled into the depression, at least it will not rain heavily to row a boat, and the roar of the machine can be faintly heard in front of it, there should be a construction site under construction, and the scene is really different from last year.
"Is this the place you want to invest in?" Oliver's eyes were full of disbelief, and he looked at Chen Dahe with a ridiculous face and said, "There is no business owner in the world who will open a factory in this kind of place, that is not an investment, it is a waste of money!"
"Don't worry," Chen Dahe leaned on the side of the window with the glass folded up, and said slowly, "Isn't your Las Vegas also built in the desert, the conditions here are always much stronger than the desert." β
"There is no second Las Vegas in the world," Oliver pouted, "Las Vegas can rise because of its particularity, it is impossible to open a gambling industry here, and the casino has also grown up after decades of development, and it is not better to invest money elsewhere for such a long time." β
"Of course, this place will not learn the same way as a casino, but it also has its own advantages," Chen Dahe pointed to the wasteland outside the window and smiled, "I don't know if Oss told you that on the first day he came here, he traveled on a small sampan boat, and at that time this area was still an uneven slope, but look at the present, is there still a shadow of the slope?"
"You're saying that it took them less than a year to complete such a large amount of work?" Oliver looked out the window and thought, then shook his head, "This only shows that their infrastructure capacity does not represent anything else." β
"No," Chen Dahe smiled, "it also represents the people's ability to work, their ability to withstand pressure, and their army-like obedience, which are all coveted candidates for employees by business owners." β
At this time, the car had already driven to Cai Uk Village, passing through the comings and goings of bicycles and the crowd of people carrying flat burdens to rush to work, and then a black road suddenly appeared in front of it, and after getting on the road, the car also became stable.
Chen Dahe looked at the street sign erected on the side of the road, with the words Shennan Road written on it, and thought about whether this should be the main road of the Shennan Formation in the future, Shennan Avenue, which looked really inconspicuous at this time, but despite this, this newly built asphalt road was also the only one in the Shenzhen.
With his fingers tapping on the car window, Chen Dahe suddenly turned his head to look at Oliver, "Do you know what the annual per capita income here is?"
Oliver shook his head, "I don't know, but it shouldn't be less than three or four hundred dollars." β
The international income poverty line is one dollar a day, and although it is poor, it is much better than in some parts of Africa she has seen, and at least the people are well fed and clothed, which can be seen from the state of passers-by outside the window.
Chen Dahe laughed, but the smile on his face quickly faded, and he looked out the window with a solemn expression and said, "Just now I passed through Caiwu Village, and the actual per capita income is one hundred and thirty-four yuan, less than one hundred dollars. β
"It can't be," Oliver glared in surprise, "it's impossible to feed one person with such a small income." β
"Nothing is impossible," Chen Dahe said lightly, "This is still calculated according to the official exchange rate, and if it is calculated at the black market exchange rate, it will not even be twenty dollars." β
Oliver was stunned and speechless, she looks like what kind of state is less than twenty dollars a year, sometimes a meal in the United States is more than twenty dollars, even if the price here is cheap, it is impossible to be low enough to violate the laws of the economy, unless it is an isolated environment, there is a set of its own economic model, and although the country here is not open, it is not isolated, otherwise the high-quality artworks that bring huge profits to Jones Company will not appear in the United States, and there will be no increasing foreign trade volume year by year, and their Canton Fair is also attended by Americansγ
In fact, Chen Dahe still set up an ambush here, although the per capita income is accurate, but does not represent the actual income of the residents here, in fact, their basic living materials are not obtained by purchasing, but by farming and fishing, which is the basis for their survival, and those incomes will only be used when there are situations other than survival such as illness and schooling.
The road is not long, only about two kilometers, and the car quickly stopped in front of a three-storey building, which is a newly built guest house, specially used to entertain Xiangjiang merchants who are willing to invest, and next to it, is the first industrial zone in Shenzhen, Shangbu Industrial Zone, which is still being planned.
Chen Dahe pushed the door and got out of the car, opened his arms and took a deep breath, wanting to embrace this land of the future.
Ahh
Slapped twice in front of his nose with the palm of his hand, Chen Dahe looked at the empty ground in front of him and sighed with some emotion, thirty years later, this is Huaqiangbei, where every inch of land is valuable, not to mention taking land, even if it is to take a stall of only a few square meters in a dense building, don't think about it without millions of dollars, but now, a large piece of land is in front of him.
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind, why don't you take all this land?!
Uh, forget it.
Chen Dahe shook his head and hurriedly put this tempting idea behind, the reputation of Huaqiangbei in the future was spelled out by countless people from all over the country who worked hard here, and a single person could not support a prosperous business district, and he still only occupied such a small amount of land.
Well, is it 800 acres or a thousand acres, or a little more?
But this piece seems to be only more than 2,000 acres in total, Chen Dahe smacked his lips, it's so small!
Forget it, just take four or five hundred acres, or leave some soup for others.
