There haven't been many changes in the department store, and many counters are still the same as before.
However, there is a crowded convenience food counter inside.
There are many instant noodles, canned fruits, canned meats, biscuits and other convenience foods on display. Many goods on the counter have been sold out. The waiters are carrying out boxes of goods. Before the waiters put the goods on the counter, many customers start to buy them.
"Don't put that box of canned braised pork up there. Just give me two cans. I want them!"
"I want a can of instant noodles, three cans of luncheon meat, and a bag of biscuits!"
"Give me two cans of braised pork too!"
"Hey! I want some too! Just give me five cans!"
"Give me all the remaining cans of braised pork. I want them all!"
"Why should you give it all to you? We haven't bought anything yet! Leave some for us!"
"That's right! We've finally waited for the arrival of the goods, you can't be so selfish, you have to leave a few cans for us!"
Seeing that the customers were starting to argue, the waiter quickly stepped forward to stop them, saying, "What are you arguing about? This is a state-owned store, not yours! We still have some of this stock left, it won't sell out so quickly! Stop arguing or you'll kick them out! It's so annoying!"
The noise at the scene suddenly stopped, and people began to line up in an orderly manner.
Oh wow, it still tastes the same!
Nowadays, the position of after-sales staff is still very popular, and recruitment is limited to internal family members, with very few external recruits, which gives waiters an advantage.
Zhang Luyao watched from the side. The most popular item here was canned meat. There were quite a lot of varieties on the counter, including canned braised pork, canned luncheon meat, canned pork with preserved vegetables, canned rabbit meat with black bean sauce, canned chicken in curry, and canned fish in tomato sauce. Many people were rushing to buy them.
Before the implementation of the "land distribution to households" policy, the national grain output was very low. People could not even get enough to eat, let alone poultry and livestock. The current meat production in the country is also very low.
Not only do you need meat tickets to buy fresh pork, but the supply is also limited each time. If you come too late, there will basically be only the bones with the meat removed.
These canned meats are "imported" to the mainland by Li Nanxing from the production areas in Taiwan. No foreign exchange is required, and the prices are actually higher than those of domestic canned meats. Even so, there are still many people flocking to buy them.
"This is canned food imported from Taiwan, and it tastes amazing! It's delicious when you stew it with potatoes, cucumbers, and cabbage!"
"Yeah! I don't know how it's made, but the meat in this can is so tender and smooth. I love it!"
After leaving the grocery area on the first floor, Zhang's mother brought her daughter to the finished clothing area on the third floor.
Zhang Luyao immediately spotted the "Fanxing" brand clothing cabinet, next to which were many other brands of clothing he had never heard of.
There are quite a few people on this floor. Many of them are standing in front of the mirror holding clothes and trying them on. There is also a simple fitting room inside, which is a small space separated by a curtain at the door. Customers can try on clothes they like inside.
Zhang Luyao still remembers that before he went abroad to study, there were very few ready-made clothes in department stores. Most of them sold fabrics, and you had to find a tailor to make clothes for you, or you had to make them yourself at home, so the styles of the clothes made were mostly similar.
Now there are suddenly so many ready-made clothing brands, and there are so many styles of clothing. The variety of choices of clothing styles has made many young girls love them.
"These brands are all shipped from the south. In the past, this place only sold fabrics. Only since last year have so many clothing counters appeared one after another! Mom will take you to pick out some new clothes!" As she said this, Zhang's mother excitedly pulled her daughter to the clothing counter to choose clothes.
…
Li Nanxing established a large industrial zone in a large area of Shenzhen's new economic development zone. The reason why she was able to take over this area so easily was mainly because she was the first to actively respond to the local government's call for investment and factory construction. As the first to take the plunge, the local government gave her great political support. The purpose was of course to set an example in order to attract more foreign investors to invest and build in China.
Of course, there is a second reason, which is that Li Nanxing has been labeled a "patriotic Hong Kong businessman" in China. She wants to invest in China, and the local government is of course very welcoming.
Li Nanxing not only invested in and built factories in China himself, but also attracted many Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen and American entrepreneurs to invest in China.
Although these factories are all labor-intensive industries, such as textile factories, garment processing factories, shoe processing factories, leather processing, feather and down products, spinning and textile, shoes, hats and clothing processing, etc., they all require a large amount of labor to complete. With the labor costs in developed countries such as Europe and the United States and second-tier countries such as Japan and South Korea increasing year by year, most entrepreneurs are willing to transfer their industries to Southeast Asia where labor is cheaper.
Therefore, Li Nanxing found these entrepreneurs who needed to relocate their industries, arranged for the person in charge of economic regional development in the mainland, and asked local leaders to personally persuade these entrepreneurs to invest in China.
Li Nanxing only acted as a middleman.
After all, she is just a businessman and she cannot make promises to these investors on behalf of the local government.
Let these overseas businessmen communicate with local government departments on their own about their concerns and ideas. After communication, both sides can reach a better consensus. If these businessmen encounter any difficulties in the local area in the future, they can also communicate and negotiate with the local government on their own. Li Nanxing will not interfere anyway.
Li Nanxing first established a textile factory, a garment factory, an electronics processing factory and a security company in the local area.
That’s right, the first thing Li Nanxing established in the local area was a security company. He recruited many local retired soldiers and idle labor for professional military training.
Of course, such a large-scale "recruitment" will definitely attract the attention of local departments. The reason given by Li Nanxing is that many wealthy foreigners and residential areas need a large number of security guards, and these well-trained security guards with good performance will be sent to work overseas.
Not only are the recruited people happy to be able to go abroad and earn foreign currency, but the local government is also very happy to see it happen.
Of course, later on, because the local security environment was too poor, many foreign-invested enterprises were often robbed, and finally these newly trained security guards were "exported and sold domestically" and directly hired by local companies.
