Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 618 Nine million people

  In the 1980s, the population of the capital had exceeded 9 million, and it was making steady progress towards the 10 million mark.

   Since the reform and opening up in 1978, the population of the capital has poured in at least 300,000 every year, and the later capital has a population of more than 20 million, making it one of the most populous cities in the world.

   What is this concept?

   That is to say, today, the capital has more than twice the population of Hong Kong, and it will be three times and four times as much as Hong Kong in the future.

  As the country's political center, economic center, and cultural center, it carries a large number of social resources, economic resources, political resources…

   Its potential can be seen by anyone.

  Especially the inland has begun to reform and open up, and the development speed is increasing day by day.

   When Carrefour entered the inland, it had already decided to take Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai as its southern strongholds, bridgeheads, and steadily expand in the south.

   On the north side, with the capital and Tianjue as strongholds, bridgeheads, and steadily expanding in the north.

   With the capital’s population of 9 million, only one ‘Carrefour Plaza’ is obviously not enough. As long as it goes well, the second and third will be settled in the capital one after another.

   Yang Chen was a little surprised: "The Carrefour Plaza in the capital has been built so quickly?"

   Before that, he had been busy with film shooting and game companies. Because Carrefour was able to operate on its own, he basically seldom intervened, or even let it go.

   If Wu Jiangtao said that Carrefour supermarket opened in the capital, he would not be surprised.

   But Carrefour Plaza, how to say, how long has it been?

   I’m afraid I don’t even have time for two or three months, so I’m ready to build and renovate, and it’s ready to open? ?

   Yang Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't doubt whether Wu Jiangtao was deliberately teasing him and making him happy.

"It's such a boss, the first plaza in the capital, we used Kowloon's Carrefour Plaza as a reference, "direct copying", and the area was tripled. In addition to the normal infrastructure construction, we took three shifts when decorating. Work day and night to try to complete the inspection work before the year.

   During the construction, the staff training was also carried out simultaneously. Some management personnel were directly transferred from Xiangjiang, and now they are waiting for the official opening of the square. "

After listening to Wu Jiangtao's explanation, Yang Chen put down his doubts, thinking about the speed of Zhenzhen in the south, one floor in three days, and it is still a skyscraper, and the square building on Yang Chen's side, the highest is even ten floors. No.

   With the speed of the construction team on the inland side, and the design of the square on the Xiangjiang side, there is basically no preliminary work, which can indeed save a lot of time.

  Yang Chen didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Since the business can be opened, then it will be set for tomorrow. If it is two more days later, after this matter is settled, everyone should go back."

   "What, is it in time for tomorrow? Will it be too rushed?"

Wu Jiangtao heard that it would open tomorrow, and thought for a while: "It's too late for the opening tomorrow, but if it's at noon, there's still time to prepare. I'll let everyone go out to distribute flyers when I go back in the afternoon. These things were prepared early in the morning. , there is publicity this afternoon and tomorrow morning, but I am not afraid that no one will come to buy things when it opens."

   Seeing that Wu Jiangtao didn't object, Yang Chen immediately made a decision: "Since it's too late, we'll open at noon tomorrow. I'll tell Uncle Huo and the others tonight, and let a few big bosses accompany me to cut the ribbon for the square."

   Hearing that Yang Chen was about to take Daheng Huo and the others to cut the ribbon at the square, Wu Jiangtao finally smiled, obviously the purpose of this trip was achieved.

   There is Huo Daheng and a group of big bosses on the platform, and there will be some concerns here. After all, the geographical location of Xiangjiang is very special, and it still attaches great importance to Huo Daheng and a group of business representatives.

   If they don't pay attention, they won't be called north.

  With this level of relationship, Carrefour will put up this brand in order to attract foreign investment, regardless of whether it is good or bad.

  Since the construction of Carrefour Plaza began, it has received attention from all quarters, whether it is the leaders above or ordinary people at the bottom, they are very looking forward to and curious.

  Compared with other places in the mainland, the environment of the capital is actually better than any other place. The above requires reform and opening up, and no one dares to stumble under the nose.

   It is precisely because of this reason that the construction of Carrefour Plaza will be so fast, and it will be opened in two or three months.

   Not only Carrefour Plaza, but also Carrefour Supermarket, which opened together. A total of 25 supermarkets, scattered in various areas of the capital, are all waiting for the opening of the Plaza. When the time comes, let’s work together and make Carrefour’s reputation in one shot.

   "How about you? Do you have enough supplies for household items and the like?"

   There is no problem with opening, and Yang Chen is worried about the inventory problem. The capital has a population of nearly 10 million, and these people are not all ordinary workers and peasants.

   Nearly half of the population of the entire capital belonged to family members and relatives of officials.

   This group of people who eat imperial grains, their consumption level will definitely not be lower than the white-collar workers in those big companies in later generations.

  If Carrefour sells out of stock as soon as it opens, it will be a slap in the face, and it will be easy to be laughed off by others.

  Learning Xiaomi's Rebs will definitely not work. Not only will it not work, but it will be 100% finished.

  Han Wenguang blushed a little, and said seriously: "Don't worry, boss, we have already learned a lesson in Shanghi, and this will never happen again in the capital."

The last time Shanghi and Zhenzhen opened, because I had no experience, I could not figure out the spending power of the two places. In the end, because the special zone was just established in Shenzhen, there were not many people and the spending power was limited, so there was no interruption when it opened. goods issue.

   But Shanghi is different. As a financial center in Asia, its heritage is far less than that of other coastal cities.

   At that time, as soon as Carrefour opened, because there were too many people buying things, it was sold out of stock in the end.

   If it wasn't for Shanghi, which is close to Xiangjiang and convenient for transportation, I'm afraid there would be some trouble at that time.

  With the lessons learned, Han Wenguang no longer dares to doubt the spending power of the inland, especially in big cities like Shanghi and the capital.

   Yi Ying Storage adheres to the principle of less, not more, even if it can’t be sold, it can be transferred to other places. Anyway, Carrefour is expanding rapidly. It can’t be sold here, and it can also be shipped to other places.

   "Did Donghua Group build a factory here in the capital?"

  Han Wenguang glanced at Yang Chen for a moment, and said, "The initial plan has already been made, but everything in the special zone has just begun, and there is no way to free up for the time being."

  Yang Chen shook his head and said: "Don't worry about whether Teng Teng or not, the factory site is selected first, the factory building is built first, these can be prepared in advance..."
