People in the Republic of China start from building a top power

In addition to Jinling City, Hankou is the second largest commercial city in the inland area.

Located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Hankou is located in the central area of ​​the South. It has been the core city of the South since ancient times, and it has the reputation of "the most prosperous place in Central Chu".

The development of domestic transportation in recent years has allowed the city to continue its previous prosperity.

In addition, it is close to the Yangtze River and has unique water conservancy advantages. The development of ground transportation has made Hankou a southern hub city with extremely convenient transportation in both land and water.

Moreover, the railway transportation in Hankou is also quite convenient, as the terminal of the Beijing-Hankou Railway is here.

Therefore, Hankou has become a golden city with water, road and rail transportation.

Hankou and Jinling are both southern cities, while the most representative inland commercial city in the north is Xuzhou in the Soviet Union.

Xuzhou has been a strategic place since ancient times. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through it nearby. It is also the intersection city of the Longhai Railway and the Jinpu Railway. The Longhai Railway runs through the east and west, and the Jinpu Railway connects the north and the south.

Such a huge advantage in water and land transportation has made Xuzhou's commercial trade extremely developed, making Xuzhou the third largest inland commercial city after Jinling and Hankou in one fell swoop.

In addition to these three major cities, Chongqing in the southwest region has also risen in recent years, becoming the largest trade city in the southwest region.

Although Chongqing is deeply inland, it is close to the Yangtze River, and the waterway transportation is also convenient. It is also relying on the water conservancy advantages of the Yangtze River that Chongqing has become the most important external window of Sichuan.

At present, many commercial and trade transactions in Sichuan are transited through Chongqing as a hub.

Many large-scale trade will choose to enter Sichuan from Chongqing, and some goods transportation and commercial trade activities in Sichuan will also be operated externally through Chongqing.

For example, Jinling, Hankou, Xuzhou, and Chongqing are all representative cities with developed domestic commerce and trade.

In addition, there are also some commercial cities that are rising day by day due to economic development, such as Changzhou, Zhenjiang and other places, which can be regarded as the glory of Jinling, and trade activities are gradually developing.

But compared to the big trading cities like Jinling, they are insignificant.

In today's Jinling City, the daily volume of goods traded can be described as terrifying.

In the city, there are domestic merchants, large and small, in restaurants, teahouses, hotels and other places, discussing cooperation and conducting trade exchanges.

In addition to the Chinese, many merchants from foreign countries in 4.3 will also travel across the ocean to Jinling City to cooperate with local merchants, large and small.

With such a prosperous trade, the daily trading volume of Jinling City has reached millions of tons. As for the specific figure, no one can calculate it at all.

Compared with Jinling City, trading cities such as Xuzhou, Hankou, and Chongqing are naturally inferior.

However, their daily cargo trading volume has also reached the million-ton level. The economic development and the improvement of transportation construction in various places have benefited these cities that are already hubs in one place.

Of course, these cities are just a representative of China's development today.

Changes in transportation and economy have made them prosperous. Although many areas in the country are still backward or even poor, the changes in these cities have sounded the clarion call for the changes in the motherland.

Chapter 829: Merchants from the North

"In the past two years, Jinling City has really become more and more prosperous. When I came here to do business, it was not so convenient."

Qu Dongsheng is a northern businessman who has been doing business in the south and the north since five or six years ago.

When he first started his business, Qu Dongsheng started as a small trader. At that time, he mainly traded some furs and medicinal materials from the north and other places to the south and sold them to some rich merchants in the south.

Afterwards, Qu Dongsheng used the money he got from selling fur medicinal materials to trade some industrial products from the south to the north for sale.

And Qu Dongsheng earned the price difference between this round and round.

At that time, he often traveled to and from Jinling, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so he was deeply impressed by the changes in the Jiangnan area, especially the Jinling area.

In the past two years, as the domestic economy has improved and the situation of all parties has stabilized, Qu Dongsheng's sales business has grown bigger and bigger.

Now he still often travels between the north and the south, but he doesn't need to worry about many things anymore. After the business grows, some sundries will be handled by his subordinates, and Qu Dongsheng is only responsible for negotiating cooperation with some regular customers in person. 09

And Qu Dongsheng's business scope has also changed slightly.

In the first few years of his business, the domestic economy was not booming. After Qu Dongsheng sold furs to Jinling and other places, he often couldn't collect the goods he wanted.

At that time, he often traveled in many places in order to collect a batch of goods.

But now it is different.

Since the rise of Huayin Group in Jinling, it has promoted the rapid development of various industries. Not only the economic level has risen rapidly in Jinling, but also countless manufacturers have risen one after another.

Although Huayin Group started as a heavy industry, its light industry is also very large.

After the rise of trade in Jinling City, it has now become the largest distribution center for goods in the south of the Yangtze River, and countless merchants come here to trade every day.

Today, he only needs to make a little contact in Jinling City, and he can buy a large number of industrial products, with a complete range and sufficient quantities.

At this time, Qu Dongsheng was sitting in a tavern outside Jinling City, chatting and drinking with the two fellows accompanying him.

They are waiting for a customer to come and trade goods with them.

The guys are all people who have been with him for many years, and they are not restrained in private.

The three of them sat by the window, and they happened to be able to see some of the surrounding situation, and even looked up through the window, and could see some tall buildings inside Jinling City.

That's why Qu Dongsheng sighed before.

"Guys, do you remember the first few years when we came to Jinling, there were not many high-rise buildings outside Jinling City in those years, and even Jinling City was not as prosperous as it is now."

A clerk said with a smile: "That's right, sir, when we came here to do business in the first two years, these places outside the city were no different from the backcountry.

Don't look at them in big cities, but there are also brick and thatched huts everywhere here, which is not much better than our countryside. "

Another guy looked around and said with emotion: "Who said it wasn't, when I just arrived here, I thought we went to the wrong place.

But in the past two years, the development speed of Jinling City is really scary.

In just two or three years, buildings and mansions have been built everywhere in the city, and even these places outside the city have become prosperous. "

The guy pointed to the distance: "The Huayin Group has developed the Huayin New District here, and also established the Huayin Headquarters. Now the outside of the city is better than the inside of the city!"

After all, the two guys were also people who followed Qu Dongsheng everywhere, so their knowledge was not bad.

But due to my limited cultural level, I can't describe the thoughts in my heart.

But Qu Dongsheng was different. Although his family was not considered wealthy, his ancestors had been in business until now, so at least they had the conditions to support him in studying.

Therefore, compared to the two buddies, Qu Dongsheng can better understand the feeling of the passage of time in these years.

He remembered that when he came to Jinling City for the first time, the prosperity of Jinling City left a deep impression on him.

This big city is completely different from his hometown. Although the streets in the city are not all wide avenues, the streets and alleys are connected in all directions, and there are shops and storefronts around the streets and alleys.

In the bustling areas such as Qinhuai District, there are some department stores, large shopping malls, buildings, etc.

In the evening, those places will still be filled with lights. It was also at that time that Qu Dongsheng, who had just come here for the first time, recognized the concept of "a bustling place with lights, feasting and greenery".

But compared to now, the Jinling City at that time was far worse!

Qu Dongsheng took a sip of his wine and sighed softly: "Although Jinling City was prosperous back then, it was still a thousand miles behind compared to now.

At that time, the streets in the city were messy, and many shops and commercial buildings had no layout at all. In such a large city, there were still places without electricity and water.

When we came here to collect some goods, we had to piece together everything.

But it is different now. Two years ago, Huayin Group cooperated with the government to rectify the streets of the whole city. Today, Jinling City is full of wide streets.

Since the economic development, merchants from all over the city have gradually come to do business in the city, and now Jinling has become the largest trading city in China.

In this city and outside the city, countless high-rise buildings have also been built. Not to mention the original prosperous areas, even those originally poor areas now have stable water and electricity pipelines.

Now the outside of the city can’t be called outside the city anymore, it’s called the outskirts of the city, it’s 350% more prosperous than some cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang! "

Qu Dongsheng became interested in talking, and couldn't stop talking.

As a person who has been traveling all the year round, he has seen the changes in Jinling City in the past two years. To him, this is like a dream.

At the beginning, he felt that Jinling was prosperous only because he was a fledgling and hadn't seen much of the world.

In fact, Jinling City at that time was stronger than ordinary cities. The roads in the city were messy, commerce and trade were not well developed, and sometimes the types of goods supplied were insufficient.

Compared with a prosperous city like Shanghai, the original Jinling was still much worse.

But in just three or two years, this backwardness is gone forever.

The current Jinling City, in Qu Dongsheng's view, is a real big city!

The most intuitive thing is that some of the original small shops have long since ceased to exist, and have been replaced by numerous commercial buildings. The so-called small shops are also full of prosperous charm.

When it's time to open, the stores feature flashing signs, special glass exteriors and many interior shelves replaced by transparent windows.

Not to mention those big shopping malls.

All the areas inside are quite neatly planned. Vitrified bricks are used to decorate the walls and ground in each area. The chandeliers arranged on the top and the wall lamps inlaid around it make the commercial building full of a futuristic atmosphere.

Chapter 830: Great Development of Jinling

Compared with previous years, the types and styles of goods inside have also increased a lot.

For example, clothes, shoes and hats, whether in commercial buildings or small shops, there were only a few styles, nothing more than red, yellow, blue and green embedded with flowers.

Of course, rich people will naturally seek out higher-end clothing, but for ordinary people, this is extremely gorgeous stuff.

But now the situation is quite different.

From the year before last, when Qu Dongsheng came to Jinling again, even ordinary people here began to wear bright clothes.

Those clothes were obviously carefully designed, the color matching was very eye-catching, and the style was also very trendy.

Even the lowest class of civilians no longer only wear coarse cloth clothes, but also began to wear gorgeous clothes that only high-ranking officials could afford in the past.

Qu Dongsheng saw all of this.

He understood that all this should be attributed to Huayin Group.

Since the rise of Huayin Group in Jinling, they have begun to influence the market on a large scale, and have included countless light industrial manufacturers under their own name.

After two years of development, the prices of daily necessities such as clothing have been reduced year after year, and the people have more wealth in their hands.

That's why today's Jinling can show the phenomenon of "equality of clothing between civilians and officials".

And this is only part of the changes in the city. As for the outside of the city, the changes are even more earth-shaking.

At this time, Qu Dongsheng and the two guys had been eating and drinking for a while, and when they got excited, Qu Dongsheng simply said, "Let's go guys, today we're going to visit the outside of Jinling City, Huayin New District and other places.

Since it developed outside the city, we passed by it several times, but each time we passed by in a hurry because of business matters, so we didn't go in to take a good look. "

"But master." A clerk said worriedly: "Aren't we going to wait for Boss Gu here? If we miss the time, it will be hard to explain."

They ate at this tavern outside the city, resting and waiting for someone.

Boss Gu is a partner of Qu Dongsheng. After the great changes in Jinling City in the past two years, all the goods Qu Dongsheng needed were purchased from Boss Gu.

Qu Dongsheng waved his hand: "It's okay, I made an agreement with Boss Gu, we won't meet~々 after three o'clock in the afternoon", said Qu Dongsheng glanced at his watch: "It's just after noon, let's go shopping first."

"Yes, sir."

The three got up immediately, left the tavern and went outside.

When he came out, Qu Dongsheng also specifically told the owner of the tavern that if Boss Gu arrived early, he would ask others to wait here for a while.

This tavern was only opened in the last two years. Every time Qu Dongsheng and Boss Gu talked about cooperation, it was here. This is why the two did not meet in the city, but chose to meet here.

Of course, at the end of the day, Qu Dongsheng will not miss the appointment, and the few of them will come back after going out for a stroll at most, so they will not miss the agreed time.

When he came, Qu Dongsheng had already rented a car. After leaving the entrance of the tavern, Qu Dongsheng asked the driver to drive to Huayin New District.

The vehicles were on the way to Huayin New District, and Qu Dongsheng and the others kept seeing one car after another passing between the roads.

Most of these people are people who come to Jinling for business.

Among these businessmen, there are many financiers, bankers, etc., and their direction is also Huayin New District, or simply Huayin Financial Company.

When the Huayin New District was first established, although it was under construction, the construction time was not long after all, and the internal traffic was not very busy.

However, after this period of development, as the commercial activities in Jinling City gradually prospered, this commercial activity center outside Jinling City also became larger and busier.

Qu Dongsheng and the others sat in the car, looking to both sides of the road from time to time.

I saw some buildings on both sides of the road and the entrances of the buildings, and people in suits or long gowns came in and out from time to time.

And judging from their accents, most of them are not natives of Jinling.

This phenomenon is quite normal. Merchants from all over the world come and go to Jinling more and more frequently. On the roads inside and outside Jinling City, many people are guests from other places.

In contrast, Jinling locals seem to be much less.
