Chapter 2049 Apliu Street
After eating something at noon, Zhong Chuhong went to catch up on sleep.
Pregnant women eat a lot during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, but in the month before giving birth, the diet is not so rich.
Of course, what Zhong Chuhong ate was not big fish or meat, but was carefully prepared by confinement women to ensure that it was nutritious and would not grow too fat, thereby oppressing the body organs and children.
It's just that Zhong Chuhong sleeps longer and longer.
Thinking about it, she has gained 30 pounds, and she has a very heavy burden and a lot of consumption, so she must have more sleep to replenish her energy.
Taking advantage of this time, Yin Jun also took a car down the mountain and drove all the way to Apliu Street in Sham Shui Po.
There are more famous streets in Xiangjiang, all of which are known for their special culture.
For example, the most famous Lan Kwai Fong is the bar street.
Women's Market is a commercial street mainly for women's supplies.
Fa Yuen Street is a commercial street selling sneakers and sporting goods.
The Yaliu Street where Yin Jun came to is also similar to them, except that it is famous for selling electrical appliances in later generations. This is the most prosperous and lively electrical appliance street in Xiangjiang.
Apliu Street has a very long history of development.
As early as the mid-1960s, a flea market began to form here. No matter what, as long as it is an old thing you can imagine, you can sell it here.
Then gradually in the 1970s, a gathering place for various electrical products was formed here.
For example, what kind of wires, lights, batteries, circuit boards, etc. are all sold here.
In the 1980s, it was more in line with the trend, such as stereos, household goods and kitchen supplies, etc., as well as various food stalls, making Apliu Street very lively.
Sometimes the stars who work and film on the radio channel in its northeast corner also like to come here to eat.
But Apliu Street is more familiar to Chinese people than another item.
That is the sale of various household appliances that started in the late 1980s.
Let's put it this way, you can think of Apliu Street as a street full of Suning, Gome, Five Star Appliances and other electrical appliances hypermarkets.
Then, in the second half of the 1990s, the private assembled computers that emerged on the land of Huaguo started to develop from Aliu Street.
In the late 1980s, thousands of people from Xiangjiang also came to Apliu Street to find various parts and components to assemble computers.
Or find the store directly, take out the various parameters you want, and ask them to help you match them.
After 2012 in the mainland, after Jingxi, Taobao and Tmall started to exert their strength, all the assembled computer businesses were completely finished, and even those computer malls and electrical appliances stores basically suffered countless casualties.
But different from the mainland, in Xiangjiang until 2020, these various businesses in Aliu Street are still thriving. At least doing local business in Xiangjiang is enough for them to eat and earn a little money.
This kind of economic form is not very healthy, because the prices and housing prices in Xiangjiang are ridiculously expensive, but at the same time, the practice of cheap online trade in the Mainland sweeping everything is also very unhealthy.
So in 2019, there was a rumor that "all online stores must have physical stores of the same size offline", which frightened a lot of people.
Leave this aside.
The Apliu Street that Yin Jun came to at this time was just a very simple commercial street.
A dilapidated ten-storey building with shops facing the street underneath, and there are also stalls in the middle, selling clothes, shoes, electrical appliances, etc., everything.
Well, the first time a boy came here, it felt like he was at the Jianghan Road Night Market in Wuhan, or the Qingnian Road Night Market in Rongcheng, there was no difference at all.
The electric street that will be developed vigorously in the future has no shadow yet, at least the process of demolition, relocation and reconstruction has not yet started.
In the middle of Apliu Street is actually the Sham Shui Po MTR Station. This Tsuen Wan Line has been opened to traffic since 1982, and it is very busy and crowded on weekdays.
Kirin Real Estate bought a piece of land on the side of Apliu Street, which is less than 100 meters away from Sham Shui Po MTR Station.
The land is about 45,400 square feet, or a little over 4,000 square meters.
Being able to buy such a large piece of land in such a crowded old city is also thanks to the downturn of Xiangjiang Real Estate in the past two years. The company that owns the property rights of this piece of land was sold at a big sale. Kirin Real Estate only spent 200 million Hong Kong dollars to buy this A piece of land and two old four-story office buildings above it.
Now the place has been completely emptied, the office building has been blasted, and the foundations have been dug.
Although the land is surrounded by old houses, it does not hinder its overall construction at all.
Hundreds of employees of Qilin Construction Company are busy here making preparations for the first floor.
Not long after Yin Jun came, Chen Shaojie, the general manager of Qilin Construction Company, rushed over.
The largest employer in Xiangjiang is Kirin Construction Company, because it employs more than 30,000 people.
In fact, at the beginning of last year, Kirin Construction Company still had about 50,000 people. However, in the two years of last year and this year, many workers of Kirin Construction Company passed the immigration review of Western Australia and transferred them with skills. Min went to Western Australia and became an employee of Wankang Company.
So now Kylin Construction Company only has more than 30,000 people, and in the second half of this year, they recruited another group of workers, and the number reached about 37,000.
It's just that this number can't last long. At the beginning of next year, there will still be more than 5,000 people immigrating to Western Australia - two super large iron mines have been discovered there, and there are still various infrastructures to be built, which is exactly what is needed when manpower.
If it weren't for the fact that Western Australia has greatly increased the difficulty of immigrating to Xiangjiang, there would be no problem immigrating 10,000 people next year.
It is also for this reason that Shen Ben, a congressman from Western Australia, has led his own group of allies to criticize the immigration officials in Western Australia for abusing the law. The restriction on free immigration is a kind of crime.
Wei Li also followed Shen Ben, criticizing them rotten and backward, incompetent and shameless!
Shen Ben is powerful, and Qilin Mining Company is rich.
Wei Li also bought a large number of newspapers and TV stations to help him raise the flag, which made the government of Western Australia into a mess. Even the government of Australia behind them was scolded bloody and did not dare to fight back.
Rich and powerful, in a capitalist country, that's how willful they are.
Especially the congressman who has the toughest attitude and the character of never backing down, and the Kirin Mining Company backed by the richest man in the world, no one wants to provoke him.
But after all, the number of immigrants from Xiangjiang to Western Australia has exceeded 320,000. Although only 112,000 are formal immigrants, and the rest are all family members, this population ratio is too much, even for Western Australia. The Australian government, which does not care about the state, also wants to strictly stop this kind of behavior.
Otherwise, at this rate, wouldn't Western Australia belong to the Hua people in ten or eight years?
The aborigines in Western Australia don't have so many ideas.
The popularity of Wankang Company here is definitely beyond the imagination of the people on the west coast.
Besides, Yin Jun detected two super large mining areas, built railways, roads, ports, purchased materials, hired employees, etc. How many people were tied up? How much benefit does it bring here?
The economy of Western Australia has been declining in recent years. With such a large amount of income, the lives of ordinary people will be easier. How can they not like Qilin Mining Company, which is in the same line as Wankang Company?
Wei Li also made it clear to the relevant officials of the government of Western Australia that there are enough manpower now, and mining can start in the next year or the next. The consumption will also stimulate all walks of life, which is of great benefit to Western Australia.
Therefore, the government of Western Australia announced in July that it would still allow Kirin Mining to introduce 5,000 skilled immigrants next year to fill the company's lack of manpower.
With a decrease of 5,000 employees, Kirin Construction Company will have less than 33,000 employees next year, but it will still be the largest employer in Xiangjiang.
Chen Shaojie has been the general manager since the establishment of Qilin Construction Company.
This young man born in 1942 entered the construction industry when he was 14 years old. When he was 30 years old, he established "Chen's Construction Company" and developed into a top ten construction company in Hong Kong.
The scale of Chen's construction company is not the largest, but Chen Shaojie is very serious in his work, the quality of the project is very good, and he is punctual and keeps his promises. Even if there are any disturbances that cause losses, he will help complete the project on time and according to the quantity.
This gave him a good reputation.
Yin Jun's favorite is such a down-to-earth person who can overcome difficulties.
So when preparing for Qilin Construction Company, Yin Jun found him and wanted to poach him to help him.
But Chen Shaojie has his own company, so why is he willing to be someone else's subordinate?
In the end, Yin Jun had no choice but to spend a lot of money to buy Chen's construction company, so that he could take charge of Qilin construction company.
Faced with Yin Jun's kindness, Chen Shaojie, who had no way out, took over this important task. For five or six years, he worked hard to support Yin Jun's significant company.
Without Chen Shaojie, the jurisdiction of tens of thousands of people would be really nerve-wracking.
In particular, a series of issues such as bidding, progress, and quality of various projects are involved. Only a natural architectural talent like Chen Shaojie can do it in such an orderly manner.
Even if Huo Jianning came back from the mainland and took charge of real estate investment and construction, in terms of construction, Chen Shaojie was still in charge of the specific affairs.
It was Yin Jun who came to Alia Street today, otherwise Chen Shaojie, who was so busy that he was about to fly, would not have the time to come here to accompany him for inspection and explanation.
