Chapter 987 Fashion City

The impact of improved transportation convenience on the world is not limited to immigration. Its influence has penetrated into all aspects of society.

This kind of thing will never happen again.

Lychee in the south is no longer a rare fruit in the north.

Even ordinary families can enjoy this fruit that only noble concubines could eat before.

From this perspective, there are many ordinary people currently living better lives than the emperors and concubines of the past.

In the past, even emperors and concubines could not often eat fruits and vegetables from the south.

But now, even ordinary people can enjoy all this.

There are even more types.

For example, peppers originating from Mexico, tomatoes originating from South America, cauliflower originating from the Mediterranean, strawberries from South America, etc.

These fruits and vegetables have been cultivated and are now grown in large quantities in Dahua, making Dahua's recipes extremely rich and almost no different from those of later generations in the 21st century.

Southerners can eat specialties from the north, and northerners can also eat specialties from the south.

Convenient transportation, to some extent, erases spatial distance.

Li Meiniang, who lives in Tianjin, boarded the passenger ship to Shanghai simply because she wanted to see the sights of Shanghai and Nanjing.

This was unimaginable before.

Nowadays, this is not a big deal.

On the boat, Li Meiniang met Cao Xuelin, and the two had a pleasant conversation.

In this era when women are generally gentle and graceful, they two lively personalities became good sisters after a few words of conversation.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when the passenger ship arrived in Shanghai, but it didn't matter.

Today's Shanghai is a city that never sleeps.

There are many people partying until two or three in the morning.

After getting off the boat, Cao Xuelin saw Shanghai, which was more beautiful and shocking than in the photos.

The whole street is flashing neon lights, and the brightly lit buildings seem to be two different worlds from Jinan.

Although there are electric lights in Jinan, the number is very small, and most of them are concentrated in factories. Electric lights in urban areas are not often used, and there are no colorful neon lights.

"Walking through the crowds of people, the whole city is shining brightly..."

Along with the beautiful scenery comes music. Yanjiang Road on the Bund is the center of Shanghai's entertainment industry. Here, there is the most developed entertainment program.

No. 11 on the Bund is home to Dahua's most famous music theater.

On the outer wall of the theater building, a huge poster hangs with a photo of popular singer Zhou Xuan, and the loudspeaker next to it is also playing a cover of her song, "Shanghai welcomes you."

Its melody is quite different from the later version of "Welcome to Beijing". It is less serious and more lively and unrestrained, and is more similar to the later version of "Welcome to New York" by Taylor Swift.

For the first time, some synthetic sounds are added to the song, which is a bit like the electronic music of later generations. It can easily make people want to get high as soon as they listen to it, and it is very easy to arouse a person's excitement.

When people are excited, consumption becomes irrational.

"Perfect, this is my dream place."

Cao Xuelin was intoxicated in this.

"It is indeed the most prosperous and fashionable city in Dahua."

Li Meiniang said with emotion.

In terms of scale, Nanjing is the largest city in Dahua.

However, Nanjing is the political center of Dahua after all, and the atmosphere is relatively serious, without the gaudy pursuit of fashion like Shanghai.

Chatting with a taxi driver in Nanjing, the content is likely to be about a certain policy of the imperial court.

When chatting with taxi drivers in Shanghai, the content will most likely be about a popular actress or stocks.

Rich people in Nanjing hate that no one knows they are rich.

As for the rich people in Shanghai, they really want the whole world to know that they are rich.

Various reasons have led to completely different styles of the two cities, making Shanghai look more prosperous than Nanjing, and it is also a holy place for people who pursue fashion.

Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang, on the other hand, prefer Shanghai.

"Hello beauties, let me introduce myself. I am the development manager of Shenghui Entertainment Company. I am responsible for discovering potential future stars..."

When two beauties, Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang, stand together, it is difficult not to attract attention.

They hadn't been shopping on the street for long when they were noticed by a talent scout.

"Being a star? It's interesting."

Cao Xuelin is not opposed to it. She is still very interested in anything new.

Li Meiniang, on the other hand, doesn't have much interest. She is just here to travel and has never thought about becoming a star. Her family has already made arrangements for her future.

"This is my business card. It has our company's phone number, address, and contact information. Miss Cao can contact me at any time if she is interested."

Du Yuerong handed over a beautifully crafted business card with a name printed on it, along with his identity, contact information, etc.

"Shanghai people are really immodest."

After accepting the business card and bidding farewell to the other party, Cao Xuelin laughed and complained about the atmosphere in Shanghai.

After all, most people in Jinan are relatively modest. They would not introduce themselves to everyone, let alone have them printed on their business cards, regardless of their achievements or status.

.

This is not the case in Shanghai. Every small talent scout brags about being a manager.

You know, in today's Dahua, a manager is a symbol of a successful person.

Cao Xuelin actually wronged Du Yuerong, not because Shanghainese people are immodest, but because the pace of life in Shanghai is too fast. In order to save time, everyone tends to do things simply and roughly.

Clearly stating your identity and intentions can greatly save collaboration time.

This phenomenon is changing in places such as Nanjing and Guangzhou.

"You really plan to enter the entertainment industry. I heard that it's not easy to get along in this industry."

Li Meiniang reminded that she came from a big family and had a little understanding of many situations in the upper class.

Celebrities appear glamorous on the surface, but behind them there are countless sorrows.

Only a few lucky ones managed to survive, and most left in tears.

"Let's see, I haven't thought about it yet. However, I definitely want to find a job to support myself."

Cao Xuelin said with a smile that although she took a lot of money with her when she ran away from home, this amount of money is really nothing in the money den of Shanghai.

Besides, it’s all in vain, no matter how much money you have, you can’t afford to spend it all the time.

Fortunately, in Shanghai, as long as you have the ability, there are more jobs suitable for women than anywhere else.

"It's up to you. Let's find a place to stay and have fun for a few days."

Li Meiniang didn't make any suggestions. She also knew that Cao Xuelin was a very independent person.
