In an hour, the car drove into the downtown area of Cupxi.

Xiaohong said: "It's really fast with high speed, it used to take three hours to run like this. ”

Xiaowei said: "Nonsense, why are you fixing it if you're not fast? Where are we going to eat?"

Xiaohong said, "Why don't you go to the store here?"

Xiaowei said, "Do you want to go, just take a look." This has changed a lot in the city, and there are many buildings. ”

In the past two years, the urban area of Cup Creek has indeed changed a lot, from the north to the south, a lot of new buildings, a number of large hotels, hotels, dance halls, commercial pedestrian streets have also been raised, and the whole city has changed a lot.

The current secretary is from the position of general manager of Cupsteel, and he is an alumnus of Xiaohong. This secretary, like most of the city supervisors in this era, likes to open up and rebuild, and he worked from 92 to 97, while the whole cup creek has changed dramatically, it has also left many unfinished projects.

In the 90s, the most popular word in the country was unfinished buildings, which can be said to be "rotten" throughout the country.

The industry of the brother company is on the south side, next to Yongfeng Pedestrian Street, which is the south entrance of the pedestrian street, and the geographical location is quite good.

A few people parked their cars, locked their doors, and walked into the mall.

There are only shopping malls and supermarkets here, as well as office buildings, hotels and restaurants have not come, there are buildings, temporarily vacant, and the residences above have not been sold.

Cup Creek is a special city in Liaodong, the city is made of steel, a city is a steel mill, a coal mine, from the history of the city is known as the city of coal and iron, in 1902 built a factory to open a mine.

The people of the entire city are almost all the employees and families of these two major mines.

At this time in 94, because the coal resources have been hollowed out, the mining bureau has stopped production, which has caused turmoil in the city's economy, and caught up with the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, which is a little worse, but because the cup steel is still strong at this time, the basic plate is still there, and the consumption capacity can also be ranked in the forefront of the entire Liaodong.

In the early 90s, it became popular here to make the shirt and shoes Da Lilai, the old man's head, a Monte Jiao half-sleeved T-shirt 1,008, women's fake leather shoes 7800, a pair of Dalilai leather shoes more than 2,000 3,000, the old man's head 1,002.

In the summer, when you stand on the side of the road and look at it, the streets are full of delicate shirts, both men and women, and women are all purple shoes, and men are either lilai or old heads.

Ordinary people jokingly call it the city service and city shoes. The spending power is visible.

There is income every month, dare to borrow and dare to spend.

The reason why the hotel did not open is because there are already similar high-end hotels in Cupxi, which are still invested by the Agricultural Bank of China, so Xiaowei is a little hesitant, after all, it is a mystery whether a city can support many high-end hotels and hotels.

Although the comprehensive consumption of the city is high, they are all working class, and high-end consumption depends on the business class, that is, the wealthy.

Xiaowei didn't want to rely on the government and corporate entertainment to develop hotels and hotels, so he suddenly started to strictly stop eating and drinking and cleaning up white strips this year.

The mall is full of people and looks pretty good. At this time, the business of Beixi is concentrated on the side of Yongfeng, and basically no one goes to the state-owned joint department store and 200, and the hottest is the underground civil air defense shopping mall and Yongfeng.

After going upstairs and downstairs, they didn't alarm the people in the mall, Xiaohong and Qin Xuemei each bought a down jacket, and a few people came out to eat on the pedestrian street.

At this time, there is a porridge shop here, Xiaohong looked up at the big sign and said, "Just eat this, porridge." It seems like I haven't eaten porridge for a long time. ”

A few people entered this porridge shop, there were not many people, and they just found a place to sit down and order.

Wang Jiwei flipped through the recipe and said, "The price of this dish is not low, and the consumption here is so high?"

Xiaowei said: "Most of them here are workers, with stable incomes, and consumption is slightly higher than in other places, but we are not engaged in mass consumption, so we don't dare to come in now." ”

Qin Xuemei said: "It's okay to look at, you look at the shoe city on the side, our shopping mall, this one looks at discotheques, dance halls, song halls, and there are many big hotels and hotels." ”

Xiaowei shook his head: "The industrialization here is too serious, many of those big hotels and hotels are state-run, or some sons and daughters in the city do it, like the Oriental Bathing Center, Tiantian Fishing Port, Prince City, Jinding is from the Agricultural Bank, and we are not on the same road." ”

Xiaohong said: "Is Jinding not, is it the one?"

Xiaowei nodded: "Yes, the one who jumped off the building." ”

Qin Xuemei said: "Look, I don't understand what you are saying, how dare I come here to do things, in case there is a mistake, it will be over." ”

Xiaohong said: "It's not that you don't understand it when you stay in school all your life, and you can't learn these things in school." That's why I told you to come over and help, and I didn't know what was going on until I got in touch with it, how would I understand if I didn't actually contact you?"

Qin Xuemei's eyes widened: "No, they all graduated from college or something, so they can come out to be cadres and leaders?" ”

Xiaohong said: "That's the government and the state-run enterprises, and they only look at the relationship between academic qualifications and not ability, so now there are laymen everywhere to guide insiders. Levels and abilities don't matter a dime. ”

Xiaowei said: "I went to a meeting with Xiaohui, basically the Federation of Industry and Commerce and the Association are all state-run people, according to the level of seats, the whole spectrum can be big, a question, what company and enterprise managers and factory directors, proud."

When I inquired about those companies, they all relied on financial subsidies, and they couldn't pay their salaries, and I didn't know where their self-confidence came from. Then he looked like he was pointing out the country and reasoning with us. ”

Xiaohong said: "In their hearts, whether the enterprise makes money or not is a matter for the state, and what does it have to do with him personally." He's awesome when he goes up the level, anyway, this factory is gone, and he is still the leader in a different place, and he should eat and drink. Whether a worker is paid or not has nothing to do with him in their perception. ”

Qin Xuemei blinked: "So bad? can you still be a leader?"

Xiaohong said: "You have too little exposure to things. Workers can't pay their wages, and there are more leaders in hotels every day, like hundreds of thousands of cars to buy cars, and when the time comes, they will be transferred to other places to continue to be leaders. ”

Xiaowei said: "Order food and order, eat and leave quickly, what's the use of saying this." ”

Xiaohong and Qin Xuemei studied and ordered a few dishes, each of them asked for a bowl of porridge and returned the recipe to the waiter.

The dishes are very fast, but the plates are relatively small, this is really a high-consumption place, no wonder there are so few people.

A few people didn't say anything, and after eating, they got in the car and ran to the county seat.

This section is a mountain road and a dirt road, Xiaowei will definitely not dare to drive, a person still dares to compare, a car of people.
