Chapter 384: Amazing Speed
Fang Xinwu lay on the soft sleeper, thinking about this mission.
This time, he came to investigate the rate of plastic replacement inside Homo sapiens and the effects of the fungus on Homo sapiens in Tokyo, as well as to assess the speed of its recovery.
And Li Haoyun, who didn't want to talk to his son, leaned against the partition wall of the soft sleeper and talked to the big fat man on the bunk opposite.
"Mr. Zhang, how is the jewelry business in southern Fujian Province?"
The big fat man gasped: "Huhu...... Not really, gold and precious metals are very hot...... Huhu, the sales of jade jade gemstones have fallen very much. ”
"Emerald is better! The jade market in the first quarter of this year in Lingnan is okay. ”
The big fat man was very helpless: "You still have feelings and the economy is better, many people on our side run out from village to village, and they don't buy jewelry at all, they buy gold and precious metals." ”
"So serious?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all, you also know that the clan atmosphere in our southern Fujian region is relatively heavy, and the first batch of villagers who used to be Homo sapiens before explored the road, many people with better relationships in the same village and clan called friends to go to Nanyang together."
"It's not that serious here in Lingnan, is it?" Li Haoyun hesitated.
And Fang Xinwu, who closed his eyes and recuperated, secretly smiled bitterly: "You live in Yangcheng, and there are still a few buildings in your house to collect rent, of course you don't feel the loss of population." ’
In fact, Fang Xinwu, who has internal channels, knows a lot of unknown data.
The rate of population loss in the east, west and north of Guangdong is very alarming, especially the local rural and urban villages, which have basically become empty.
In the past, many of these people would go to the Pearl River Delta and Xiangjiang to work, but now these people go directly to Homo sapiens.
The reason why the Pearl River Delta region seems to be prosperous is mainly because the population of other regions is making up for the losses.
In addition, due to the recent replacement of plastic materials, the operating rate of factories has been full, so I have not felt a significant decrease in population.
However, the outflow of people from the region is clearly feeling the side effects of population loss.
In the past, people who went to work in the Pearl River Delta would come back to spend money and build houses, and they would also return to their hometowns during the New Year's holidays.
However, people who go to Homo sapiens rarely return to their hometowns for the holidays, because many people emigrated as a whole family and were then scattered to the north and south.
In this way, there is a high probability that the family will spend the New Year's holiday locally, rather than taking a plane back to their hometown.
This has a serious consequence, that is, immigrants will sell their properties, land, properties, furniture, etc. in advance.
As a result, housing prices in some backward areas have collapsed, and even if they continue to limit selling, they still can't suppress the rate of decline.
After all, many villages are empty, and only a few village sages and wealthy families remain, who are still maintaining their dignity.
These people are not willing to give up the industries and networks they have worked hard for decades, nor are they willing to "go with the flow" with those mud legs, and they are also afraid that after losing their networks, they will become ordinary people again.
But those who are barefoot have no idea of staying.
Fang Xinwu's hometown is the same, his cousin Fang Xinxin has brought his parents and siblings to Honsavady one after another.
As more and more people go to Homo sapiens, a lot of news can't be locked, even in rural areas in remote areas, they know that they can directly apply for immigration to Homo sapiens.
It's just that many people still have doubts in their hearts, or there are many industries in their hometowns, and they are reluctant to let go of these bottles and cans, and they are still on the sidelines.
Listening to the conversation between Li Haoyun and the big fat man, Fang Xinwu knew very well in his heart that the only way to fight against the population siphon of Homo sapiens was to greatly improve various benefits, otherwise it would be difficult to suppress the population loss.
But after thinking about it, he sighed secretly, this kind of thing can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and there is no reason why it can't be seen above the temple.
However, it is too difficult to greatly increase welfare.
Perhaps the current population loss is not a good thing, at least the population pressure has been reduced, and there is more cake to share.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at Taunggyi.
The group did not go directly to the mining area, because there was no need, the minerals in Honsavady were all Homo sapiens, and the price was about the same wherever they were bought.
Out of the subway station.
The young man looked at the small city, and his face was a little disapproving: "Is this the pearl of Shan State-Taunggyi?" It doesn't look good! ”
Li Haoyun directly reprimanded: "Don't talk so much, I brought you here to learn to do business, not for you to come here to pick thorns." ”
Taunggyi City is indeed not big, because the permanent population here is 1.06 million, and with the floating population, it will not exceed 1.5 million.
The reason why it is not small is not because of the lack of development potential, but because Homo sapiens strictly controlled the size of the city to avoid the emergence of large cities with large populations.
According to the internal rules of Homo sapiens, cities can be divided into first, second, and third categories, and the criterion for division is population.
The third category is the city with a population of 100,000~500,000, the second category is the city with a population of 510,000~2 million, and the first is the city with a population of 2.01 million ~ 5 million.
At present, the only cities in the first category are Yangon, Manila, Thonburi, Mandalay, Chiang Mai, Bandung, Sing Tao and Kuala Lumpur.
And the population of these cities is decreasing, basically remaining at around 3 million.
Big cities are useless to giant companies, but create unnecessary weaknesses and troubles for themselves.
After all, concentrating the population in a few megacities is easy to be wiped out.
Moreover, the various supporting facilities of megacities will also appear very bloated, and cannot improve the quality of life of residents.
Small and medium-sized cities are what Homo sapiens want to see.
Of course, if you count the metropolitan area, the population of Taunggyi can reach more than 8 million.
At present, the development trend within Homo sapiens is to take the route of the metropolitan area, using high-speed subways and ground railways, highways, airports, and canals to expand the radius of the metropolitan area to about 150 kilometers.
In addition to the main city of Taunggyi, the Taunggyi metropolitan area also has 4 second-class cities and 7 third-class cities, which is the true face of Taunggyi.
So don't look at the fact that the population of Homo sapiens is about to exceed 1 billion, but many areas are sparsely populated, but the cities are not crowded.
Fang Xinwu and the others, who walked out of the subway station, came directly to the bus stop on the side.
As soon as he saw that he was going to make a bus, the young man was suddenly unhappy: "Mr. Fang, call a taxi!" I'm not used to taking the bus. ”
"You kid shut up!" Li Haoyun was a little angry.
Fang Xinwu shook his head, this kid was abolished.
After a while, the bus stopped.
The young man was dragged onto the bus by his father, Li Haoyun.
Unlike the imaginary buses, the buses here are more like buses, with more reasonable and spacious seats.
Fang Xinwu patted the seat and found that the previous plastic chair had been replaced.
'Is this Iron Bamboo?' ’
He scanned the carriage and found that many plastic parts had been replaced with other materials, among which iron bamboo accounted for a relatively high proportion.
Picking up the cushion on one side, the slightly rough feel told him that it was worsted linen, and the filling inside was probably replaced with cotton.
The air conditioner on the car was turned on very sufficiently, and the cushion was put down, and Fang Xinwu sat down directly.
The big fat man on the side panted and said, "Huhu...... The seats here are relatively wide, which is very good for a big fat person like me, so I don't have to squeeze it. ”
"Mr. Zhang, it's time for you to lose weight." Fang Xinwu joked.
The big fat man laughed helplessly: "Haha...... I can't keep my mouth shut! ”
