Bai Nan and his family drove home directly, and had just arrived in Los Angeles, except for a few cabinet members who came to the port to pick up the ship, Bai Nan saw no one. Tired www.biquge.info from the journey, Zhao Daling hoped that Bai Nan and the others could rest at home for a day before holding a formal meeting the next day.

"I can clearly feel that there are more people on the street." Bai Nan said in the car.

"Yes, Los Angeles is becoming more and more like a metropolis. More and more high-rise buildings have been built this year, whether it is officials or businessmen, they are not satisfied with the kind of economic buildings with five or six floors, it is said that in the projects approved by the Municipal Construction Bureau this year, there are more than 10 high-rise buildings with more than 20 floors, which is scary to think about. ”

Bai Nan frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing to build so many high-rise buildings?" ”

"Those big state-owned enterprises used to work together, but now their scale has snowballed, such as Eagle Mountain Iron and Steel, International Trade Company and other large units, they have more business, more employees, and more importantly, they want to show their status, so they all want to build buildings." The Ministry of Civil Affairs is also trying to build high-rise apartments, which is actually real estate. ”

As a pragmatic official, Bai Nam instinctively has a certain degree of rejection of the service economy such as real estate and finance, and can even be regarded as prejudice. He was born in an era when the economy of the Republic was still the second largest in the world, and various economic structural problems, cost-effectiveness ratios, environmental protection and other troubles emerged one after another, but on the whole, the officials and officers of the real inner circle remained optimistic.

Bai Nan has studied abroad, traveled to many countries, and also done a lot of research and study. After the 10s of the 21st century, although the U.S. economy is recovering, Ao Guanhai also thinks that he has made a major contribution, shouting about the return of manufacturing. But people at Bai Nan's level can see it clearly. The reshoring of manufacturing in the United States is concentrated in labor-intensive industries, such as textile manufacturing, mixer assembly and the like, and the return of these labor-intensive industries has saved the unemployment rate in the United States to a certain extent, but the help for the country's competitiveness is limited. And in the heavy industry, which truly represents a country's national strength, American manufacturing is constantly declining. For example, large-scale die forging equipment. China has continued to set world records after the new century, and it has blossomed everywhere in the country, and even exported to the world, while the last 40,000-ton die forging press in the United States is still a product of the 80s, and the enterprise that manufactures this equipment has been merged by Chinese enterprises after the new century.

Many people are discussing American-made capabilities, emphasizing America's war potential, and liking to talk about America's riot tactics and dumplings during World War II. But in reality, if there is really a third world war, regardless of the scenario of nuclear war, although the United States may be stuck in China's neck in many ways in various ways, but again, the hollowing out of American manufacturing makes it impossible for them to achieve that kind of strong industrial manufacturing capacity. Competing for military equipment to "get dumplings", the Americans can no longer compare with China. Moreover, this one has gradually strengthened over time.

A series of large industrial enterprises of the republic. In the transformation of the economy, the quality is constantly improved. Optimizing management, reducing energy consumption, and opening up new fields and technologies have continued to make achievements in design and innovation gaps, but the United States continues to decline.

These are all things that Bai Nan saw with his own eyes before crossing over. It is true that the republic has suffered from the loss of "large-scale construction", and the overheating of real estate has brought a lot of trouble to the country's economy. Now Datang is also on the big fast real estate, whether it is a residential building or a commercial office building, from Los Angeles to Vancouver in the north. Dozens of state-owned and private real estate and construction companies are working on hundreds of projects, which undoubtedly create a lot of jobs and bring GDP to Datang, but Bai Nam has always been wary.

And Bai Nan cannot deny that Datang's rigid demand for real estate at this time may be the most important demand, and it is also the strongest demand. In the past, 130,000 people traveled through the public, and there was not much real estate needed at all. However, before Bai Nan's expedition last year, there were already 600,000 registered residents in the western states of the country alone, and when he returned, that number was increasing by double percentages. With the successful realization of the Dujuan Plan and the signing of the Treaty of Tianjin, it is expected that in a very short period of time, the population of this country will exceed 1 million or 2 million...... You can't even see the top at all.

For example, the immigrants from Zhili who arrived at the port of Long Beach with Bai Nan had to be considered in advance for their food, clothing, housing and transportation in Jiazhou. At least every family should get a dwelling, and the increase in labor will inevitably lead to the expansion of enterprises, and new factories and new office facilities are necessary. The new immigrants need more schools, hospitals, and retail malls to live, and because this rigid demand is too strong, the Datang government does not even dare to stop the pace of large-scale construction, because no one knows how many immigrants will arrive next, but they must have a house to live and a job from the moment they set foot on the land of Datang and receive their ID cards.

Therefore, there is a consensus between the State Council and local governments, that is, it is better to throw more buildings there, but also to prepare in advance and build a large number of buildings. This is no joke, because even then, when the newcomers first arrived at the settlement, ten people slept in a small room of 20 square meters, and the collective farm lent tents from the military reserve warehouses for the temporary use of the newcomers.

Xu Xin said to Bai Nan: "Our neighborhood is not so desolate, because of the good name, so many people with better economic conditions like to buy a single-family house in Hollywood, after all, it is the most concentrated high-end residential area in Los Angeles now, half a year ago Lianhua Supermarket also opened a branch in Hollywood, last month there was a kindergarten, we don't have to send it to school in the city in the future." ”

Bai Nan touched his daughter's little face and said: "We have to discuss this again, you know, I will stay at most until the end of the conference, two or three months of work, and then I will take office as the governor of the United China Special Administrative Region, and I don't know how long it will take, I can't bear to live separately from you, so I hope you can also go to Shanghai with me." ”

Meora said: "Shanghai? A small county town in the Qing Kingdom, there is nothing there. How can Shin Shin study well there, there must be no buy all kinds of things there. ”

Bai Nan was full of confidence and said, "I dare to assure you that in less than three or two years, the scale of the Shanghai Special Economic Zone may be comparable to that of Los Angeles." (To be continued.) )
