"Is this the Embroidery City?"

Xin Xiaosong is the director of the Institute of Technology and Standards of the Academy of Postal Sciences. He has been to many places across the country, and his footsteps have been left in the great mountains and rivers of the motherland.

However, when he stepped onto the land of the embroidery city, he unconsciously slowed down and hesitated a little.

"Hi, please give it up!"

A voice came from behind Xin Xiaosong, which made him involuntarily give in to the side.

In a moment, a man ran by his side like the wind. He was a young man wearing a blue hurdle vest with a simple earpiece on his ear, an ant walkman on his waist, and a white rushing sneakers on his feet, running freely and confidently. This is not surprising. If Director Xin is good, oh, Director Xin is a little older, if his son can have an ant walkman on his waist, he must have run early in the morning until he has no strength.

Even if you are tired and sticking out your tongue, don’t worry, this is a pleasure for young people. In the era when buying a tape recorder in other people’s home, it is like buying a large household appliance as big as a 155mm grenade, and being able to straddle the audio equipment on your waist is as cool as the man in black’s powerful little pistol.

In the era of lack of entertainment, the envious and novel eyes of people around you during morning jogging are enough to pay for the ticket price. The person with an ant on his waist is absolutely refusing to run in places with fewer people. Only where there are many people can you dive into it.

"Slutty." Xin Xiaosong shook his head and curled his lips.

"Young people today are really, huh--"

Fortunately, the man in front of him was running while listening to songs, and Xin Xiaosong could not hear what Xin Xiaosong said. However, if Xin Xiaosong could notice his mouth shape, he would find that the young man running was constantly reading something silently. Judging from his mouth shape, it seemed like he was repeating the pronunciation method of an English word.

Fortunately, this young man's mind was not on Xin Xiaosong, otherwise, with the violent temper of the Northeastern people, we can't do anything to him.

People in Northeast China are also ordinary people, and they will jump when they have a disagreement. Oh no, they are the kind of people who can fight with one glance. Before the Northeast was laid off, they were also rare species. Such gangsters in society are actually the lowest level of the social contempt chain.

That is, the consequences of the economic collapse in Northeast China ten years later. Not to mention the Northeast, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Bald Head Party was one of the top ten gangsters in the world. When the Soviet Union was still alive, what did the Gulag gang count?

After complaining for a few moments, Xin Xiaosong picked up the suitcase in his hand again and began to look around. Soon, he found his name among a group of high-rise cards.

"Hey, are you from Xinke Company? I am Xin Xiaosong."

"Oh! Hello Director Xin, I am from the Public Relations Department of Xinke Company. My surname is Xu, just call me Xiao Xu."

The young man who was playing Xin Xiaosong's sign quickly reached out and wanted to shake hands with him. However, he did not expect that a suitcase would be stuffed into his hand the next moment.

"Help me take it, don't bump it!" Xin Xiaosong loosened the buttons of his collar and took a breath: "Let's go, go to the guesthouse to arrange for me to rest. Taking the train for a night is so exhausting!"

"Okay, you go here." Xiao Xu couldn't see any dissatisfaction and led the way with a smile on his face.

I stopped by the passing train in Xiucheng at 7 o'clock in the morning. Xin Xiaosong was on the sleeper on the train, but it was not too tired. At this time, my hand was light, and I looked up at the surrounding scenery and saw the difference between Xiucheng and other places.

One of the points is that there are actually quite a lot of motorcycles on the streets of Xiucheng. However, compared with so many motorcycles, the number of cars is not very conspicuous.

There are domestic products such as Jialing, Qingqi and Liming, and imported cars such as Kawasaki 125. In those days, ordinary people ride a motorcycle, which is the same as driving a sports car after thirty years. The Qingqi can be regarded as a beauty leopard, and the Jialing 250 is similar to the cool style. The Yangtze River 750 is a Wrangler. If you ride a Kawasaki 125 under your crotch, it is at least equivalent to an Audi TT.

If you drive a Fiat potato when you go out, needless to say, driving a Porsche in thirty years is not as cool as you!

Just when I was working in the morning, motorcycles on Xiucheng Street accounted for at least one-tenth of the bicycle ocean! Even if they were placed in the imperial capital, there was no such high proportion.

But compared with so many motorcycles, I think the income of people from Xiucheng must be very high? Maybe there are many people driving cars?

However, in the morning, there were not many cars on the streets. There were some small Fiat potatoes, some Soviet Ladas, Dafa vans from Dagu and very few Santanas. More of them were round-headed buses, which looked a bit honest and cute. They were like whales in a sardine sea of ​​bicycles and motorcycles.

Although I heard that Xiucheng is likely to win a special zone quota this year, it has different styles compared to Shentuchuan.

The status of Shentuchuan is largely due to its unique position as it is across the river from Xiangjiang River and living nearby, so it has special advantages in international economic exchanges.

In terms of economy, Shentuchuan mainly undertakes Hong Kong capital, overseas Chinese capital and international investment. The economic operation model is export-oriented, mainly import and export. In terms of industrial model, it is mainly processing industry, such as clothing factories, electronic factories, toy factories, and industries are concentrated in man-intensive fields.

However, for Xiucheng, it is impossible to do this. First of all, Xiucheng does not have this geographical advantage. It is located on the inside of the Bohai Sea and does not have such a thing as Xiangjiang around it, so its appeal to foreign capital is not that great.

Secondly, it is incomparable to the national support during the construction of Shentuchuan that year. The only thing that Empression City can rely on is the power of Bohai Province, and at most the three eastern provinces work together. Even if the policies of import and export preferential policies are the same, they may not be compared with Shentuchuan, which has the first-mover advantage.

Furthermore, the workers in Shentuchuan can be said to be hard-working. Female workers can sit in front of the operating table all day, and even have time regulations for going to the toilet. However, such labor discipline has never been popular in the Northeast in the 1980s or 21st century.

The reason is probably that the Northeast entered a highly urbanized society prematurely. Taking Bohai Province as an example, the urbanization rate in the 1980s was as high as 42.4%, second only to the three municipalities directly under the central government, the Imperial Capital, the Magic Capital and Dagu.

By 1990, the urbanization rate of Bohai Province was 50%, and by the 21st century, it was 67%. In the past 30 years of rapid development in China, the urbanization rate had increased by 25%. However, with such a low growth rate, the urbanization rate of Bohai Province was still the fifth in the country by 2014.

In the 1980s, urban citizens were relatively privileged in the agricultural population, and their lives were much more abundant. The welfare, living conditions and employment levels were theoretically far higher than those of other provinces and regions in China. Northeast workers who were not worried about employment were unable to "tolerate" the management model in the "sweatshop" of Shentuchuan.

Or we can say that Bohai Province in the 1980s could probably be regarded as a "pauper-developed country". Similar to those developed countries that were crushed by Chinese industries in the future, the first ones that exploded after China's reform and opening up were the "developed regions" in China, that is, the eldest sons of the Republic.

Just like developed countries that cannot afford human-intensive industries, the soil in the Northeast is not suitable for this path at this stage.

This fundamentally shows that even if Xiucheng becomes a special zone, it is impossible to copy the experience of Shentuchuan.

This guiding ideology is manifested in reality, which is the two urban temperaments of Xiucheng and Shentuchuan.

There are many cars running on the urban roads of Shentuchuan. The Shentuchuan Building, the "highest building in China", has become a symbol of renovation and opening. The spacious and prosperous Shennan Avenue can be regarded as the pulse of the times. On the wastelands in Huaqiangbei, factories have begun to rise from the ground.

Compared with the deep earth river, which shows vitality, the embroidered city seems to be a bit ordinary.

The tallest building in the city is an ancient stone tower built in 1057. The most spacious road in the city is an ordinary commercial street with two-way four-lane two-way in front of the railway station. The most common high-rise building in the city is the chimneys towering in factories. People's clothes do not seem to be chasing the trend as the Shentuchuan Special Zone. On the surface, the embroidery city is not much different from other heavy industrial cities in China today.

Except for people.

On the streets of Xiucheng, you can see many people even taking advantage of the time they are waiting for the red light, holding a book and scanning their eyes as soon as possible.

It may not be that this person is so easy to learn. Maybe his unit has a test today.

Compared with other industrial cities, there are much more commuter cars in the morning in Xiucheng. Buses with factory names and company names and round heads drove past Xin Xiaosong, and there seemed to be no end.

Generally speaking, enterprises built in the city do not need commuter vehicles. Only when the time is too long to get to get off work and get off work will the unit be equipped with commuters in order not to affect working hours and employee work efficiency.

Judging from the number of commuter cars on Xiucheng Street, it is obvious that many factories have moved out of the city.

As the possibility of opening the special zone of Xiucheng is getting bigger and bigger, the land value of Xiucheng is undoubtedly growing rapidly. Moving the factory to the suburbs of the city and developing the vacant land has become the choice of many companies. Learning new lessons to the company to develop real estate development and take care of its own people is definitely a good way to win the hearts of the people.

The resulting sense of honor and vanity can gain enough support for corporate leaders to carry out reforms.

These people who sit in the commuter bus in the morning still don’t forget to read a book while riding the bus. They may not be learning, maybe reading idle books to relieve boredom, or hobbies?

But for some reason, Xin Xiaosong would think that the city of Xiucheng is different from other cities.

In fact, it is simple to say, the power of role models is endless.

There is no living miracle in front of you, which can inspire people's action.

The urban legend of Hu Wenhai of Xinke Group can be said to be a household name in the Embroidery City. From red dot sights to blue pills, from lithium batteries to power electronics, science and technology can be truly turned into real money.

This is already a well-known truth in Xiucheng.

Why can Hu Wenhai do it, but I can't?

This is the true thoughts in many people's minds.

Many of Xiucheng's enterprises have also tasted the sweetness in technological reform. Xiucheng Heavy Machinery Factory, Construction Machinery and Construction Vehicles are not only supplied nationwide, but are even exported to Iraq in large quantities. Recently, even some European countries have come to inquire about prices.

Xiucheng Computer Factory has won a number of electronic products from 7 billion projects. Not only that, under the leadership of Ran Ni, a female director of Princeton University, Xiucheng Computer Factory also mastered the technology of PSG sounder. The sound unit provided for Xinke Electronics is used to export to Soviet electronic game consoles, and also has also been responsible for the assembly of game consoles, with an annual profit of over 100 million yuan!

After Bohai Province relaxed textile control, Xiucheng Textile Factory made a lot of money with its own research and development of chemical fiber blending technology.

In Xiucheng, there are countless examples of this. If the technical transformation plan proposed by some workers is approved, the organization will also award quite satisfactory rewards. In addition to the eight-level work system, Xiucheng has also begun to conduct professional level examinations. In the same position and work, you can receive a more professional title salary to encourage workers to learn this professional knowledge.

Some self-employed individuals have improved the pancake fruits in Dagu, which are in line with the tastes of Northeastern people and become very popular. Because they can save breakfast time, eat in a flexible way and have a unique taste, they became popular all over the city in two months. Just by opening training classes for pancake fruits and selling food trucks, the improved people have gathered a lot of wealth in a short time, and have also enjoyed interviews and reports from the special issue of Xiucheng Daily.

There are many similar examples, of course, there are also civil sciences such as "far infrared spectrum energy therapy instrument". Pseudoscience products are circulating on the market, but the official Xiongcheng attacks these fake dealers very strongly, which limits the side effects to the minimum.

So many people and enterprises who have become rich by relying on technology play a huge leading and exemplary role. In Xiucheng, a craze of learning is sweeping across all walks of society.

Although it is inevitable that there is some utilitarianism, anyone with some motivation will spend all their time thinking about how to improve their working style or find a good idea that can be welcomed by people.

No matter how small the chance of success is, there will always be lucky people who succeed when riding on the Xiucheng City. These lucky people will lead more people to embark on this path, and knowledge changes destiny has become the consensus among the Xiucheng people.

Although Xin Xiaosong didn't know much about the causes of the atmosphere in the Embroidery City, as the director of a research institute, he was really familiar with this feeling.

It was as if he was not in a city, but a university.

This embroidery city is really a special city.
