The construction and development of the infrastructure of Dongzhou are extremely rapid. The roadway began to be paved with cement, and the road distance between Dongzhou and the capital was completed for the first four months.
The city of Dongzhou was the largest trading port of the Empire. A large number of horse-drawn carriages poured from all directions. Moreover, Dongzhou City began to construct an industrial plant, resulting in a large demand for raw materials.
Most capitalists and businessmen have begun to move some commodities from Shenzhou's capital on government order. To spread prosperity to the local area and to save the cost of businessmen.
The wages of Shenzhou Capital were extremely high, but the other cities of the Empire had cheaper salaries. It is easy for many businessmen to move their production bases out of the capital because they cannot bear the rising wages. Only some high-tech industries remain in the capital.
It's typical of capitalism. When a place has higher wages. The capitalists will begin to move their production bases to the low-wage area. It revolves like this as a cycle.
Dongzhou City has not very high wages. It also has essential utilities to support roads, electricity, water, making Dongzhou the first place for business people. In traveling to establish an industrial factory.
"This way, recruiting employees in many positions gives 3.5 yuan month wages." Someone started a job announcement table. This caused many people who were interested in this career to begin running in line to register.
"Our factory provides higher wages. We give it 3.7 yuan a month." Another businessman came to recruit as well. And also raised the wages to attract people to work with their factories.
The first businessman started to see a bad posture. People lining up to apply for his own factories began to lean towards each other. And some people started walking off the line as well, so he must try to do something to hold back his people. Now there is a shortage of labor. If he does not hurry to draw people to apply for a job. The slower his factory starts production, the slower the profit.
"All of you wait. My factory changes new wages to 4 yuan per month."
These words were said to induce some of the workers who had left earlier. Some people weighed it many times before returning to the same line.
Of course, competing factories will not let this be the case anymore. The war for labor has begun.
"My salary is 4.1 yuan."
"Mine has a year-end bonus benefit. Not only that, but it also grants vacation pay." The businessman began a heated argument. Raised the price of lifting each other until wages and benefits began to rise steadily.
People applying for jobs had never seen this before. Employers are scrambling to beg them to go to work, unlike before when they had to kneel, plead for work, and suffer for meager pay. Someone began to come up with an evil plan whispering to the surrounding companions.
"We don't have to hurry to apply for a job. Play around and watch their actions. Waiting for them to increase their wages to the maximum. Regardless of the factories, we are all profitable."
So many people began to look at the wage increases of both businessmen with pleasure.
When the two businessmen realized again, they found that their factory wages were almost on par with the capital. If this is the case, why are they setting up factories here? The two of them met their eyes intently. Break up this war, end the conflict, prepare to cancel all previous agreements announced to people.
But it's too late. Many people were flocking to apply for the job to the fullest. So the two businessmen could only shed tears in the dark, thinking about why they had to argue over such matters.
In Dongzhou city, trade and international ports are famous. There are merchants from all over who came here to find modern products. But thanks to the four-nation Alliance's blockade measures, the bustling port city of Dongzhou has become lonely. The vast majority of port workers are unemployed, but they have to adjust to the opening-up industry.
Only smugglers, who do not fear death, smuggle across the border. Come to look for something to buy in Dongzhou, and although Zhao Lingxin raised the price of the product ten times, the appeal of modern products is too much. As a result, some people are not afraid of death to sacrifice their lives for money and travel to Dongzhou continuously to find products.
Now, products like seasoning powder are selling very well. It is said that some important figures in Datang's Palace use his own lines to send a lot of people to search and purchase a ton of seasoning powder for Datang.
Now some merchants have seen some avenues to open their repurchase factory specifically for export to Datang.
In Dongzhou, a small businessman is making the intercity transportation trade. That person was a merchant named Chao Ang and his driver, Xiao Zi.
Chao Ang waited for the service to drive goods and raw materials into the city of Dongzhou. His business had dozens of carriages that were quite wealthy. Also, the transportation business is gaining in popularity, and each day there is a massive volume of orders. Chao Ang used the carriage and was almost completely worn out, gaining a lot of income.
Today, in the port market of Tongzhou city. Chao Ang's storefront, should be a typical day, but today, he saw strange things that he had never discovered before.
The thing was shaped like a monster, made of iron, but it was able to transport many things. Chao Ang saw a merchant bring down a lot of items.
Suspiciously, Chao Ang hurriedly walked over and asked the whereabouts of this.
"Friend, let me ask you some. What is this thing? "
The merchant who was asked answered.
"This thing is called a car. Have you ever heard? Right now, it is very popular in the capital. "
"Is this a car? Why do I think this thing looks different?" Chao Ang had heard of cars before in the newspapers. But this car he saw didn't look like the picture in the newspaper.
"This car is different. It is intended to be used for the transportation of goods. It's called a pickup truck," said the merchant.
"A pickup truck to transport goods?" C้ao Ang looked at the truck with interest. He runs a transportation business, and he is impressed by this. Besides, there is news that the chariot is going out of fashion with cars replacing it. C้ao Ang was anxious because he had a business of transporting dozens of carriages. If in this world there were no carriages, what would he do? But then he saw something that would replace the carriage. That is the pickup truck in front of him.
"Friend, let me ask you. How much cargo can this thing carry?" Asked C้ao Ang. If the pickup truck carries less cargo than the horse carriage, there is no need to change at this point.
"According to my use, it should be able to carry two tons," the merchant pondered a little before answering.
"Hmm! Two tons." Chao Ang was astonished one step further because this amount was much higher than he had imagined.
Chao Ang's chariot can carry about a ton of cargo. But a pickup truck can do more than double, meaning that you will be able to transport more and make more profit with each trip.
Chao Ang began to feel the times were changing. He had to buy a pickup truck to replace his wagon. If he can replace the wagon altogether, his transportation will be twice as prosperous. There is nothing sweeter to a merchant than profit and money. These things began to muddy, giving Chao Ang wanted to have a pickup truck to be in possession immediately.
"Not only this. The pickup also ran quickly. It only takes two days from here to get to the capital," added the merchant.
"This is impossible. This is absolutely impossible. You must have gone insane." Chao Ang hurriedly rejected the idea because it was too fantastic. It should be noted that originally the journey from Dongzhou to the capital took about 15-20 days. But the merchant said that it only took two days, causing Chao Ang to immediately reject the idea. Because it was an incredible thing, it was as if Yan Huang's world would collapse.
"What I'm saying is the truth. If you don't believe it, have it your way." The merchant was extremely angry. Chao Ang came in to ask more questions. Finish with a loud rant accusing him of lying. This merchant was no longer interested in Chao Ang. After completing his business, he drove away.
That evening, Chao Ang kept the words of the merchants to contemplate the market all day. He saw the change of the country with his own eyes. The capital of Shenzhou changes every day. High-rise buildings appear every month. The social conditions changed until Chao Ang could not keep up with it. Just look at the city of Dongzhou where the lamp began to be installed. He found that even his hometown could not remember the same pictures in the past either.
"Xiao Zhi," Chao Ang called for his driver.
"Master, you called me?" Xiao Zi replied.
"Xiao Zi, if we could go to the capital in two days, what would it be?" Cao Ang asked a question that had bothered him all day.
"Master, if I can travel to the capital in two days. We were able to return to Dongzhou five times in the same time frame. Is this not going to make the Master richer?" Xiao Zi replied.
Xiao Zi's words finally made Chao Ang decide.
"That's right if I could travel to the capital in two days. Can carry two tons of cargo. It means that I will have a tenfold increase in profit. Even if it's a lie, that's fine. Just carrying two tons of stuff is wonderful." Chao Ang spent a full day deciding to change all of his carriages. Into a pickup truck
"Xiao Zi prepared the carriage," said Chao Ang.
"Master, this is already dark. Where do you want to go?" Xiao Zi asked.
"I will go to the capital to buy a pickup truck," said Chao Ang.
