Chapter 437 Experience life (third update, please subscribe)
When the Porsche father and son left the official residence, the sky had darkened. Looking out from the presidential official residence on the top of the mountain, one could clearly see the entire Chang'an City - the bright lights turn the entire city into a city that never sleeps.
The red, yellow, and green neon lights are shining brightly at night, and the colorful lights are particularly conspicuous in the twilight. Standing by the window and staring at the city in the distance, Li Yian's expression is solemn, and he is sobbing silently. I took a puff on the cigar, and when the smoke came out, the thought flashed in my heart again.
“The car itself is not a car, but a way of life. This place will give people a new way of life. This is the fundamental reason why I work hard for it!”
At the beginning, Li Yian's idea was very simple, just to make some money and then enjoy life happily. But after making money, especially when he earned more than he could spend in his lifetime, his state of mind also changed. changed.
Just like in Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, starting from the physiological needs of clothing, food, housing, transportation and even sex, to the need to realize one's own ideals and ambitions and exert one's abilities for self-realization.
The body is behind and the body is first, and the body is outside and the body is there.
Every moment now, Li Yian's wealth is increasing and accumulating at an alarming rate. Under this situation, what he is thinking about is the longer-term future.
This longer term is the future of Nanyang.
What should Nanyang look like in the future?
The ideal state is a developed country with a developed economy and a prosperous society.
Although on the surface, Li Yi'an lives in an environment with a strong "socialist" atmosphere, he is still an idealist in his heart.
Everyone has an ideal or dream.
As a young man born in an offline city, Li Yian will always remember what he encountered when he came to work in that magical city that was as prosperous as a developed country, the superior natives and the bottom of the discrimination chain. Serious self.
They were born together under a blue sky, but some people were born as Romans, and some were born as mules and horses.
Faced with this reality, all the mules and horses can do is redouble their efforts. In fact, no matter how hard they work, it is just the floor of others.
Just like the classmate who was born in Rome, when people were traveling around the world, he, as a mule, could only work hard. After putting in sweat and hard work, he could only walk in the deserted night. Look at other people's friend circles with envious eyes.
It was precisely because of such an experience that Li Yian had some dreams that seemed unrealistic.
What is this dream?
In fact, it couldn’t be simpler, it is nothing more than allowing everyone to live happily under this blue sky.
In the past few years, Li Yian has been working hard little by little. Try little by little and create everything.
Looking at this bustling city outside the window, Chang'an is not all of Nanyang, but one thing is certain, Chang'an is the Chang'an of all Nanyang people.
This place will never become a Rome for the few, so Nanyang will implement the "public housing" system. Everyone who comes here can apply for public housing, and as long as the conditions are met, they can move in. There will not be a steady stream of mules and horses here to support the Romans with their sweat.
In fact, this is exactly what Li Yian worked hard for. Fortunately, everything is progressing in an orderly manner now. Although it has not been successful yet, at least some prototypes have emerged.
He walked from the window to the desk and glanced at the report on the table - the report that had just arrived a few hours ago. The content of the report is simple, a whisper of lips.
"Crossing the river, this is a million-strong army..."
...
If it had been three years ago, when this shocking news came out in Nanyang, it would have caused a stir in all parts of Nanyang. was shocked, but now, it doesn't seem to cause much sensation. At most, people can only talk about the drastic changes in Tangshan. Only those with a keen sense of smell can realize the impact of this drastic change in Tangshan on Nanyang.
Where is the busiest place in Chang'an?
Ping An Avenue?
Of course not. As the main road in Chang'an, it may be the most prosperous, but it is definitely not the liveliest. In any port city, the busiest thing is always the port, and there are no other places with more people. Not only are there a large number of dock workers, but there are also various food stalls near the dock, gradually forming a strip of snack streets filled with delicacies from all over the world.
These streets and alleys filled with delicacies from all over the world not only attract nearby residents, but even people from outside the area come here to taste the delicacies.
“In the process of port loading and unloading, a large number of workers are needed. Take Chang’an Port as an example. There are more than 20,000 dock workers in the four port areas. More than 20,000 people live in the area. Not far away from Dagang District, even though most of them are single, there are 100,000 people living around them..."
In the narrow streets and alleys, the shouts of the stall owners came and went, Lin Jiachao As I walked, I talked to my friend.
“The income here at the dock is more abundant. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of the 20,000 to 30,000 dock workers always require money. When there is demand, there will naturally be markets and various industries that rely on them. Industry.”
Lin Jiaren and the others walked and talked like this. In this way, the two of them finally came to the end of the street. Opposite the highway with constant traffic were rows of warehouses and towering walls. Looking into the distance, they could see the towering Cranes, freighters, and vehicles are constantly coming and going to transport goods out or into the dock.
Although there are not many dock workers here, it can be seen from the operating cranes and other tools that the dock is very busy, with workers loading and unloading goods there.
Looking at his watch, Lin Jiachao found a small restaurant on the roadside and sat down,
"Let's be here at noon." "That's it?"
Lin Jiaren looked at the roadside shop in surprise... This was just a noodle shop.
"Yes, no drinking at noon, just eat a bowl of noodles. Wait until after get off work in the evening, you and I will have a good get-together."
Lin Jiaren did not insist that no drinking was allowed at noon. , This is the rule of Nanyang officialdom.
"Hey, you have said that, what else can I say? But at night, please don't be polite to me."
"We are all brothers, I will be polite to you What?”
Lin Jiachao said with a smile.
After the two sat down, they casually ordered a beef noodle dish. While waiting for it to be served, Lin Jiaren said.
"Jiachao, when I received your call, I was so happy. Although our two families are a little far apart, they haven't even left Wufu yet. Speaking of which, they are also cousins. In Nanyang , you and the two of us are the only ones in our family.”
Lin Jiaren is naturally very close to this brother, not because he serves in the Secretariat of the Presidential Palace, but because he is a member of the family. In Nanyang, I feel that family ties are more valuable because I have no relatives.
“Cousin, that’s why I came to see you.”
Lin Jiachao smiled.
"What? Is there something wrong with Jia Chao here?"
Lin Jiaren was a little confused. He was just a clerk at the port office, and Jia Chao... was a senior official in the President's residence. When he arrived at the port office, after knowing his identity, the director personally came out to greet him.
"There's nothing to talk about. I just came out to do an investigation."
When Lin Jiachao spoke.
"Investigation? What investigation?"
"It's the port affairs. By the way, cousin, do you know how much Chang'an's port throughput will be this year?"
"It should exceed 12 million tons. !"
Lin Jiaren thought for a while and said.
“Since January, Daxing’s foreign trade import and export volume has increased very rapidly. 12 million tons, there is definitely no problem.”
"This is a conservative estimate. According to projections from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, exports to the United States alone will increase by 800% this year, and imports and exports to other countries will also increase rapidly."
"This is true. Also, our industry in Nanyang is booming now. I heard from my colleagues at Yongning Port that the production there has exceeded 2 million tons, let alone our Chang'an. "
Lin Jiachao nodded at his cousin's words.
“So, now the problem comes.”
“What? What problem?”
Lin Jiachao said in confusion.
Just at this moment, an electric bell rang on the other side of the dock, and soon when the gate of the dock opened, thousands of workers poured out of the dock.
As the workers poured out of the dock, Lin Jiachao suddenly said.
"Cousin, can you introduce me to the dock for a few days?"
What?
Lin Jiaren looked at his cousin with surprised eyes. What was he talking about?
Go to work at the dock?
Did you hear it right?
“You said you are going to work at the dock?”
Lin Jiachao nodded and said.
"That's right, just go to the dock and experience life there."...
