From a later perspective, this was seen as redundant construction, serious waste, and rampant involution.
This also led to the largest wave of layoffs on the eve of the new century.
To be fair, this practice has enabled local businesses to grow bigger and stronger, but it has weakened their competitiveness.
Now that Lu Xingtao is making this kind of statement, if it were anyone else, Wu Changfeng wouldn't care at all. As long as my product is good, why would I be afraid that people won't buy it?
But the stark reality was right in front of him. As a young master from Beijing, how could Lu Xingtao possibly persuade Hexi Province to impose a blockade? Besides, he had enough goods on his tricycle.
No matter how good Qimingxing's products are, if the people of Hexi Province can't buy them, it's all for nothing!
This is all money!
Wu Changfeng never expected that Lu Xingtao would be so insidious!
What do we do now?
Should we abandon the Hexi Province market and fight Lu Xingtao, or compromise and divide up the Hexi Province market?
A difficult choice.
Wu Changfeng's connections are all within Jiyang Province, making it impossible for him to interfere in Hexi Province. Even if the other party were in Inner Mongolia, he could easily get in touch with the top leaders there through a single meeting and maintain peaceful relations.
But not in Hexi Province!

Lu Xingtao could do the same thing, going through every province, making himself very uncomfortable.
"This guy... seems to have me cornered!"
Wu Changfeng looked worried and distressed.
These regional trade barriers may not be truly alleviated until 1997.
By then, Qimingxing will be long gone, so how can it grow bigger and stronger, and how can it support the money-devouring beast that is semiconductors?
Here's a statistic: the US has spent over $900 billion on semiconductor research and development, which is chilling to even think about!
Finally, they were on the same starting line as the Americans and secured a cooperative relationship with ASML.
Lu Xingtao is really causing trouble!
Just then, Guo Zhenyu, who was in charge of advertising, knocked on the door and came in, seemingly having something to report.
