07 Investigate the market

The morning light broke down, and it was only half past six in the morning, and the sunlight had already shone through the curtains, casting two halos in the room.

The east-facing room is not good at all, and the people of Minguang can't get out of bed at all.

Shen Xin rubbed his eyes and opened the curtains with a snort.

The two finches in the tree were still chirping, and a breeze greeted them, carrying the fragrance of flowers and the coolness of the morning.

The wind blew his pores and shrunk, and he suddenly felt a lot more energetic.

Mom and Dad hadn't gotten up yet, Shen Xin finished washing, changed into sportswear, put on a headband and went out directly.

The nearby side streets have begun to be lively, at a glance there are vendors on the side, there are white porridge, rice rolls, noodle soup, fritters and buns, if you want to eat better, there are also teahouses next to it, hundreds of kinds of morning tea snacks are matched at will, Binzhou people are good at this bite, but the price is slightly expensive.

"Uncle, a bowl of noodles. ”

"Okay. ”

This shop is a time-honored brand, the vermicelli made of hand-ground rice milk is extremely tender, the meat and vegetarian ingredients are all filled, drizzled with delicious toppings, and then sprinkled with green onions and millet peppers, the umami is tangy.

Shen Xin has to come here to eat noodles every time he goes home, and the weekend would not be complete without it.

After eating and settling the bill, Shen Xin came to the side of the road to stop a motorcycle, bargained for a while, and finally decided to charter a car for three hours at the price of fifteen yuan.

"Where are you going?"

"First take the avenue, enter the wholesale market, then go to the industrial zone of Beilong, then walk along the Xijiang River all the way to the outskirts of the city, then enter the city, cross the commercial street, and go to the mangrove community. ”

The driver of the motorcycle thought to himself, isn't this going around, this baby doesn't seem to be here for a tour, there is a hole in the brain.

I thought so, but after all, he pouted his ass and kicked the starting lever, and the happy Honda CG125 let out a roar and kicked away in the dust.

"Master, your car is not cheap, why did you come out to run a motorcycle. ”

"I have nothing to do since I was laid off last year, and I can't do business, so I can't come out to work. ”

Shen Xin felt that this uncle either had a strong family background or was a prodigal son, and it was not something that ordinary people would do to spend 10,000 yuan to buy a motorcycle this year.

However, speaking of layoffs, Shen Xin remembered his mother Zhou Lixiang, Zhou Lixiang is the accountant of a state-owned factory, according to the current time, it is estimated that her factory will close down in half a year.

At that time, Shen Xin didn't dare to wave, and studied part-time at the same time, but in the mood for four years of college, he didn't even touch the girl's hand, and he was ashamed to think about it.

The uncle's car was fast, and his ears were whirring in the wind.

Going around the city is naturally not to see the scenery, Shen Xin has been out of touch with this era for too long, there is too much information to be added, and the selected locations are more representative, although they are not comprehensive, but they can be regarded as a glimpse of the whole leopard.

Stop and go along the way, and come to the wholesale market, Shen Xin is an old fritter, he pretended to be a buyer, and used the sophisticated and vicious eyes of later generations to pick and choose in various stalls, although he was not an insider, but the stall owners did not dare to slack off.

Set out the technology, origin, quality, price difference and other information of the goods, and then after the comparison of the same kind, as well as their own judgment, a clear map appeared in the mind, and after the understanding of several representative goods, Shen Xin turned his head and went to the industrial zone.

With a bag of China in his pocket and the names of some people from the mouths of several workers in a nearby large factory for five yuan, Shen Xin swaggered to the security booth of the hardware factory and handed a cigarette to the security uncle familiarly: "Uncle Chen, don't turn on a fan on such a hot day, save electricity for our factory." ”

The security uncle took the cigarette, and when he saw Shen Xin dressed up, he probably knew that it was the son and relatives of the boss in the factory, and smiled: "It's early in the morning, it's not hot, it's not hot." ”

Successfully entering this large-scale hardware factory in Binzhou, Shen Xin went directly to the production line, and he bragged and farted with the workers while observing the products.

The young people who can run around the factory in broad daylight can know at a glance that they are the sons who are hanging on the empty posts and taking money, not to mention that there are good cigarettes to smoke, and the workers are even more unshy about Shen Xin's problems.

Whoever and where talked about a big list, how much benefit it has created for the factory, which products have increased sales in neighboring provinces, and which products have sharply reduced orders in recent years, workers know a lot about these years.

Shen Xin first wrote down in a small notebook, the business scope of this hardware factory includes many surrounding provinces and cities, from the turnover of these products, he can slowly analyze the current situation of various industrial chains represented by various products.

As concocted, two hours have passed, and Shen Xin simply chartered the driver of the motorcycle for an extra hour, and suddenly went to the outskirts of the city in a happy Honda.

This time, Shen Xin focused on the vegetable market, food stalls, computer rooms and arcade halls, but he only had a general understanding of the industry ecology and did not plan to explore in depth.

The last stop is a large commercial street near the stadium, which radiates outward with a seven-storey department store as the center, gathering a huge flow of people in the business district, including clothing, catering and entertainment.

There are two high-power stereos at the door of a Dixintong chain store, constantly playing Michael Jackson's hot songs, which have been officially operating for more than half a month, but they are still full every day.

The seemingly sparrow-sized clothing store next to it needs two or three salespeople to cope with the price tug-of-war between women.

The hottest is a Taiwanese bubble tea shop that has just opened, there are long queues from the inside out, some people have been waiting for an hour or even hours, and this is only the weekend, sometimes it is a holiday, and the head is crowded.

Shen Xin walked back and forth several times in the crowd, in fact, in the later era when e-commerce dominated the world, it was difficult for a second-tier city like Binzhou to see such a prosperous scale of the real economy.

This era is full of gold.

He couldn't help but sigh, in Shen Xin's opinion, the gold was like being packed in a fishing net full of holes, there were really too many holes to drill, so much so that he could take out the gold from the holes in the fishing net as long as he reached out.

However, standing in the middle of the commercial street, feeling the crowd around him, Shen Xin suddenly fell into deep thought.

As the end of the twentieth century approaches, the whole society has begun to gradually emerge from the period of barbaric growth, and is about to enter the channel of comprehensive and high-speed development.

All parts of the country are struggling to move forward under this turbulent wave, and Binzhou is no exception, but due to the lack of political resources and the stagnation of development, it has not been able to completely open up the pattern in this economic change.

"Anyway, there are two months in the summer vacation, so it's better to let it go. ”

Thinking of this, Shen Xin's heart gradually cleared.

He walked out of the crowd and left only a back on this bustling commercial street.

Binzhou, PASS.
