The consumption structure of any city has a fixed formula. Generally speaking, they all take the shape of a pyramid;

At the top of the pyramid are the people with the highest incomes and the most profitable consumption in the city.

It is the living needs of these pillar consumer groups that have driven a large number of service providers and retailers. This part of the individual or shelf, constitutes the middle stage of the pyramid.

At the bottom of the pyramid are a large number of consumers with no technology, or low technology content, and lower incomes.

Take Amagi, for example.

The vast majority of those at the top of the pyramid are employees of Zhengxin Group or industrial parks, as well as their families. This is the most important factor that creates economic dynamism.

The sudden disappearance of this group of people caused the consumption structure of the entire Celestial City to collapse abruptly. The sudden disappearance of the top-level consumer group has evaporated the interests of service providers and dealers in the middle of the pyramid, and the evaporation of the wealth of this part of the people, and the cooling of business, directly affects the bottom workers who rely on these people to eat.

This is simply like selling eggs. If you buy my eggs every day, I will raise chickens to lay eggs, and raising chickens will produce chicken manure, so I need to hire him to collect chicken manure.

Suddenly one day, you don't want eggs. Then I can't sell my eggs, and he will naturally lose his job as a collector of chicken manure.

In Tiancheng, the people at the bottom of the pyramid are basically migrant workers from the surrounding towns or counties. These people, after the young year, have already started the mode of returning to their hometowns.

Now in the Celestial City, almost only the merchants in the middle of the pyramid are dying, and they are still creating meager benefits for each other's amusement.

One day, two days, three days.....

Five days in a row!

Tiancheng, which does not have the existence of Zhengxin and the automobile industry center, has suffered a cold wave called "consumption reversal"!

You must know that the hundreds of thousands of people who went to the south for annual leave this time are not just as simple as people leaving. The consumption of the harvest and holidays, as well as the relatives and friends attracted by these people, and the secondary value they create in the process of consumption, are really immeasurable!

After five consecutive days of "Stuka-style swooping down" in operating income, a large amount of inventory deteriorated.

Every night, hundreds of millions of tons of high-quality fruits and vegetables come in from all over the country at high prices, but now they are rotting and spoiled, and they are shoveled out by forklifts. In the expression of the boss Cao Wenxuan's mother, the truck was dumped to the nearby garbage station.

And a situation like the Republic Fruit Industry is definitely not unique.

Almost all of Amagi's large-scale supermarkets, fruits and vegetables, and daily consumer goods are in serious stockpiles. In a state of frenzied price reduction, it still couldn't stop rotting and deteriorating, and was finally disposed of like a rag by the workers.

Every night when I get off work, all the merchants in the Stellar Mall are also gloomy.

Excess inventory and sales far below expectations made the year-end sale not over, and many of the shelves were put out in advance of the season-end clearance event posters.

From 8 to 6 off, from 6 to 5 off. Almost all merchants have completely forgotten their grand goal of "I want to make XX million in this golden period" a week ago. There are only prayers like "God of Wealth blesses, the capital is guaranteed, and the stock is light," which seems to be a fateful prayer.

Huaxing Chain Hotel, the price of an ordinary double room has dropped from two hundred and sixty-one to one hundred and fifteen in Wang Hui's surprised and Li Mei's incredulous eyes.

This price is even lower than the average price during the heating period. However, every day, a large number of guest rooms are still vacant. Lin Zhenghua, the owner of the chain hotel, can only look at the calendar every day with a sad face, and he can't wait for Valentine's Day to come in advance for more than a month, and save the scene with hourly rooms and love rooms.

In such a state, although the streets of Tiancheng are still full of people, those who are interested know that the spirit of this city is gone!

The Municipal Association of Industry and Commerce has done a special survey for this, in just five days, the total of the members of the association alone, compared with last year's evaporation of 3.9 billion operating income, inventory and other discount losses, is expected to be as high as 2 billion!

Considering that the number of member merchants of the association only accounts for less than one-tenth of the total merchants of Tiancheng, the association estimates that the loss of Tiancheng during this golden period will reach at least 20 billion!

It is under such bleakness that people begin to trace the root cause - what the hell happened!?

The answer to this question seems to be easy to answer.

At a time when the interests of almost all merchants in Amagi are seriously damaged, there are still hot places. It is...... The new city construction plan has been in full swing since it was launched!

After 20 days of non-stop work, 80% of the roads in Amagi have been expanded. On the side of the road, the electric piles with white bodies and red checkered stripes have filled the main streets of every set of Tiancheng like guards.

The main road, which is spliced together by five-meter-square plates, has also become a new scenery in Tiancheng.

With the completion of these projects, large banners were also hung all over the green belt on the roadside.

With a little attention, people can see that Panasonic Toyota and Tuhai Infrastructure have entered Amagi!

Coupled with a little inquiry by people related to Zhengxin or the high-level officials in the industrial park, the real reason for the "Great Evacuation" was drawn - without Zhengxin's knowledge, its biggest competitor in the domestic electric vehicle field joined forces with the government to launch the new city plan.

Zhengxin Group-level Industrial Park, ...... to the plan Dissatisfied.

Knowing that the key to the problem turned out to be from here, the Devagi people, who had suffered heavy losses and had extremely strong local concepts, were furious!

After the business association communicated with the above to no avail, the self-employed people, business owners, service industry practitioners, transport fleet drivers, and even gas station owners in Amagi all joined forces. Tens of thousands of people in Amagi, after a few days of gloomy clouds, came to the section of the new city under construction, and came to the ...... On the square in front of the city hall.

"Be faithful, don't let loose!"

"Give me back my pillar industry!"

"We want to live, we want stability!"

"No faith, no heavenly city!"

One slogan after another, exploded in the square.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zhengsi was stunned, and Tang Guowei was stunned.

All the staff who have made the year-end surprise balance and are waiting for the holiday for the New Year are confused!

When he learned that in just a few days, the wealth of Tiancheng had evaporated by nearly 10 billion, and that Tiancheng alone would lose nearly 30 billion during the golden period of the Spring Festival, Jiang Liu, who had been promoting the new city plan, finally couldn't sit still.
