Chapter 19 Starting a Business in the South (Part 2)

The weather in coastal areas is particularly hot this season.

Although the journey was bumpy and hard to eat and sleep, Du Yuanzhou and others were quite smooth. After all, several large-scale truck drivers had run long-distance businesses and knew when to rest and when to rush.

It can be said that the road was unobstructed. When the 1990s entered the late 1990s, with the development of the economy, people's living standards improved, and private cars and various freight vehicles sprung out like mushrooms after a rain. Although the increase in vehicles promoted the economic development to a certain extent, it also brought congestion to traffic, causing countless car accidents, and it was normal for cars to be destroyed and people to die.

Of course, this situation has not happened yet. But as the economically developed areas are getting closer to the coast, there are obviously more and more vehicles on the road.

Looking at the scenery passing by outside the car window, Du Yuanzhou's thinking seemed to float to the economically developed special zone in later generations, and began to think about it randomly.

What is the current SAR like? Is it like the 21st century, with high-rise buildings and cars everywhere on the streets?

However, then a smile appeared on the corner of Du Yuanzhou's mouth, secretly mocking himself for being naive, and immediately rejected all his imaginations one by one.

Although the Special Administrative Region is developing extremely rapidly now, its peak should be in the mid-to-late 1990s, so that the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress later granted the Special Administrative Region legislative power. Even so, compared with other mainland cities, it is a world of difference. After all, this is the forefront of China's reform and opening up.

"Yuanzhou, how long do you think this trip will take to sell mountain goods?" Seeing that he was quietly looking out the window, Chen Qiaoyuan was bored and asked casually.

"It's over ten days! It should be almost done with you..." Du Yuanzhou came to his senses and replied easily.

In fact, from his memories of his previous life, he knew that the rapid development of the Special Administrative Region now brought about a shortage of various agricultural and sideline products. Although many materials in the surrounding areas were gathered here, people in this era did not have enough business awareness, and the supply and demand of various vegetables, fruits and other products were far from meeting people's needs.

"It's really so easy to sell..." Although Chen Qiaoyuan had already known the result, he was really a little unbelievable.

These days, he feels that he is more verbose than usual, and is typically hypertension.

In his opinion, no matter how easy it is to sell in the mountainous areas of the Special Administrative Region, it is impossible to sell it out so quickly. After all, 10,000 kilograms of mountain goods are not a few hundred kilograms or dozens of kilograms.

Obviously, Chen Qiaoyuan underestimated the consumption capacity of a special zone. Not to mention ten thousand kilograms, even tens of thousands of kilograms cannot meet the huge market of the special zone.

It took them five days to get close to the Special Administrative Region. These days, Du Yuanzhou was really tired. As the vehicle drove, he began to fall asleep in a daze again.

When he woke up, Du Yuanzhou found that it was already sunset outside the window and the sky was getting darker.

The buildings in the distance have also become blurred. "Brother Mao, how long will it take to get to the Special Administrative Region?" he asked the driver who was driving.

"It's almost an hour!" Mao Dakun spoke a little excitedly.

Although he had heard of the city of the Special Administrative Region, if it were in the past, even if he had been transporting goods on long distances, he would always feel out of reach. Now he is about to arrive at the location for guidance, and the excitement in his heart is of course self-evident.

"Let's go to the city again tomorrow!" Du Yuanzhou thought for a moment and said.

Then he discussed with Chen Qiaoyuan and decided to stay in a nearby village tonight and go directly to the city tomorrow.

Although Mao Dakun and other drivers were anxious, they agreed with this decision. They also understood that it would be dark to arrive at the special zone at this time.

Besides, they are not familiar with urban roads, nor do they know the specific location where Zhou Nan and the others are. Even when they arrive at the destination, they still have to unload the goods.

After a lot of trouble, I'm afraid I'll have to be busy until at least midnight, which is really a life-threatening person.

That night, Du Yuanzhou found a nearby telephone booth, called Zhou Nan, told him that he had arrived at the suburbs of the Special Administrative Region, and then asked about the specific location and the main street he was going to go to.

Everyone slept relatively peacefully that night, after all, they were about to arrive at the location.

Early the next morning, it was just dawn. They ate a few bowls of steaming noodles nearby. Following the route Zhou Nan told him, they drove directly into the city and searched all the way.

When they saw tall buildings and cars flying on the road, except for Du Yuanzhou disagreed, everyone else was surprised. My grandma was so dazzled when she entered the Grand View Garden.

It’s okay for drivers such as Mao Dakun to say that after all, they often drive to other places. Although there are fewer high-rise buildings in some cities than special zones and not as many cars as special zones, they have seen it after all, and they just feel the prosperity of the special zone.

As for Chen Qiaoyuan and the other two, they rarely go to county towns when they have nothing to do, let alone go to some cities with slightly developed economy.

Now that I have arrived at the SAR, my eyes feel bad. Needless to say, I haven’t seen many things before, or even heard of them.

In fact, seeing all this in front of me, Du Yuanzhou was not calm. Since he was reborn once, was he willing to waste his life ordinary? The answer is impossible. Although he had already made up his mind to enter the career of the officialdom, he probably wouldn't be able to do many things without an economic foundation, at least he could not allow his relatives to live a prosperous life.

Of course, once your life is difficult, it will have some adverse effects on your career.

Du Yuanzhou, who has been a human being for two lives, has already seen through everything, including the officialdom. This society is purely a society of human relationships, and sometimes human relationships are absolutely better than the law.

Since it is a society of human relationships, human relationships are naturally indispensable and money is inevitable. If you don’t want to use gray income to lay a bomb for your career, you have to use other channels to earn enough funds to serve as interpersonal communication expenses.

Thinking of this, Du Yuanzhou couldn't help but sigh. Among the various bureaucrats he had come into contact with in his previous life, how many people had great ideals and how many people had great futures, but in the end they all fell into the word "money".

According to a popular saying in later generations, almost all the elites in China entered the officialdom. So in this way, most of the people in the officialdom should be smart people. How could they not understand the simple truth that the word "greed" is misleading and the word "money" is harmful?

In fact, the facts are probably not the case. Everyone understands some things, but in the officialdom, people still have to do things against their will. As the saying goes, if you want to make progress, if you have something to do, you dare not not follow the gifts, and you have to give gifts during the holidays; if you want to get along well with your colleagues, you have to attend, and you have to follow the gifts when you are there; if you want to win people's hearts and subordinates and confidants have something to do, you also have to show concern, and of course you can't just talk.

There are so many things, where can I not spend money? Since I spend money, is the salary enough? What should I do? Let’s take gifts if someone gives me gifts! Over time, maybe I only dared to receive some red envelopes in the first place, but later I became accustomed to receiving gifts. No matter how big the red envelopes are, I would not be scared, and I didn’t even blink.

"Oh! Maybe this is also considered as the economic foundation that determines the upper level consciousness!" Looking at the high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, Du Yuanzhou couldn't help but sigh.

Since you are going to take the career and change your destiny, then start working hard to lay a solid economic foundation now!
