Chapter 538: Change
In the past two years, there have been great changes in Cupxi, and the whole city is engaged in construction. The streets have become tidy, most of the old buildings have disappeared, replaced by new high-rise buildings, although it is the end of autumn, but the streets are still full of people, people's clothes have changed a lot, bright autumn skirts have become the main color on the street, men's suit jackets have also become the mainstream, which is slightly earlier than the memory of Zhang Xingming's previous life is slightly earlier than two years.
As the convoy drove past the main road, the nostalgic slogans of the municipal furnishings that used to be everywhere were gone, and various billboards had replaced them, and Zhang Xingming also saw the franchise stores of several clothing brands.
There are also more cars on the road.
Colorful flags and red flags fluttered everywhere in the city, and banners congratulating the National Day were newly hung on major buildings.
In this era, the National Day is not a real "festival", there are no holidays and no folk activities, it is more of a symbolic existence, only the government, schools, and the army will hold some celebrations inside, such as singing and dancing, such as evening parties. There will also be special programs on the TV station.
At that time, people sat in front of the TV, no different from usual, listening to the announcer on the TV "excitedly" saying: Today is a day of national celebration......
At that time, the folk festivals were only February 2, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, while the national holiday festival was only the Spring Festival.
Two and a half years is not a long time, nor is it a short time.
This is the tenth year of China's reform and opening up, the reform is still groping, the high-level dispute is not over, the whole country has no direction to move forward for ten years, the social revolution has not changed, the enterprise has not changed, from the government to the people do not know what will happen tomorrow, hard to move forward, many things are only half done, this decade, the planned economy and the market economy in parallel, you push me, I kick you, tear up on this land.
However, the spiritual outlook of the common people has undergone earth-shaking changes, they are well fed, their materials are abundant, there are more and more information channels, their wallets are bulging, and their lives are getting better and better.
Whether it is an industrial worker or a self-employed person, life has become sufficient during this decade, and the whole country has prospered.
Liaodong is the province with the greatest changes in the country, and the eldest son of the Republic is once again ahead of the provinces in the country, and both commerce and industry are developing strongly. Cupxi is the city with the greatest changes in Liaodong Province, and the former first steel city in the Far East has once again aroused its youth, not only rushing to the front again in the iron and steel chemical industry, but also not far behind in business.
Human beings have an instinct to get together in their subconscious.
While the world is looking at China with suspicion, some bold people or companies have already started to act, and then they see here, the best city or province in China in the 80s.
Why did foreign capital gather in Shenzhen in the early 80's? because they felt safe there. Why were foreign investors willing to go to Liaodong in the late 80s? Because they felt that it was not only safe, but also developed.
This is all because of a company and a person, and Zhang Xingming.
And at this moment, this person is lying on the car window looking at the city where he was born and grew up in a daze.
"So many shopping malls, so many specialty stores, so many branches, we, do we have such a big spending power? Are they stupid to come to such a small place and come to so many foreign companies?" he talked to Li Chun as he watched.
Li Chun drove the car and looked straight ahead without saying a word.
Zhang Xingming turned his head and patted Li Chun: "Talking to you." ”
Li Chun said without squinting: "I'm working." ”
The convoy drove along Shengli Road from the front of the station, although the buildings on both sides are still those buildings, but they are all dressed in new clothes, the closer to the station, the more dense the various advertisements on the street upstairs, to the front of the station, here is almost become the world enterprise exhibition center.
The underground civil air defense mall has been repaired, and the luminous trees and dark blue triangles on it are standing there again, the difference is that there are many more signs and logos of world-renowned enterprises.
On the opposite side of the railway station square, it is even more exaggerated, there are few vacant spaces on all the roofs and side walls of the building, and even the door signs of the state-owned hotels and restaurants on both sides have an international style.
There are many construction sites on both sides of the road along the way, and Cupxi City has entered a period of large-scale construction more than ten years earlier than the previous one.
At this time, the tax has not yet been separated, and most of the finance is in the hands of the local government, that is, the period when the local government is richer than the central government.
Because of the incident in a certain post, the Northeast is the area with the strongest control of the central government, and because the Northeast was the most industrially developed area and the richest in the country at that time, so the tax revenue was also the highest, and there was no one, so in Zhang Xingming's previous life, the Northeast developed slowly and gradually declined.
In this life, there is a fundamental difference, at least the Liaodong government and the cup river government are more bullish at this time, and the money in their hands is also sufficient, from which in the past two years, Hexiang has entered a period of stable development, and the dividend has exploded, driving the whole city into the fast lane.
It turns out that half of the residents of Cup Creek are cup steel, and now, the other half of Cup Creek is peaceful, or more than half, and this half has begun to crush the other half, whether it is spirit or income or welfare, all-round crushing, under this kind of crushing, the whole Cup Creek has burst out of a huge momentum for development.
The urban area expanded eastward and northward more than ten years ahead of schedule, and began to be renovated and built more than ten years ahead of schedule. Energetic.
With Zhang Xingming's puzzlement and relief, the convoy turned into Yongfeng.
Compared with two and a half years ago, there is almost no change here, and if there is, it is that there are many people. Except for the small building that he retained, the rest has been sold, and thousands of more residents have been added to this land at once, several major shopping malls have all opened, and tens of thousands of households have come in.
Then, the whole city, including Linshi, a small number of people in Mukden were attracted here, and the flow of people can no longer describe this pedestrian block, shoulder to shoulder or close. Anyway, even one of the popsicles here is very popular and happy.
The corner of the street originally left a little place to make a little green space, this time the green space became a flower pond, there was a huge sculpture standing in the middle, Zhang Xingming turned his head from the car to look up, it turned out to be the symbol of Hexiang, more than ten meters high.
The place of the gate of the house has also changed, and there are two more sentry posts on both sides of the door, and fully armed armed police posts.
Li Chun drove the car in the parking space outside the door, and the three cars stopped in turn.
