This is clearly acting as a hands-off shopkeeper, and no one on both sides will offend. "

……

The two discussed taking the vehicle back to their respective posts.

And the emperor really thought so.

Although he holds the real power of the empire, both the navy and the army are very powerful, and the emperor does not want to provoke either side.

So just let them pinch themselves.

Whether it is hard or soft, when the time comes, whoever wins will let the person recommended by him take the stage.

As for the government, just let it dry slowly.

In China, Yang Jingkang and two fellow villagers have already boarded the train heading south to Jinling.

The trains in this era run at a relatively slow speed. The usual speed is only [-] to [-] kilometers per hour. It takes several days to travel from Cangzhou to Pukou Station.

Along the way, several people also paused to find a nearby place to rest.

Now the domestic economic environment has long been different from before. Even small cities will have train stations, and around the auto show, many accommodation and eating places have developed.

Along the way, Yang Jingkang lived and walked with two fellow villagers, heading towards Pukou.

After arriving at Pukou, the three parted ways.

Yang Jingkang came to Jinling for business. Before that, he had to stay in Pukou for a while and make an appointment with his partner in advance.

And the two fellow villagers had to go back to work, so they couldn't waste time.

So after getting off the train at Pukou Station, they bid farewell to each other. Yang Jingkang stayed in Pukou. After contacting his business partners, he planned to stay in Pukou for a day and take a look at the scene here.

The last time he came to Pukou was at the end of the new year.

At that time, Pukou was catching up with the Spring Festival travel rush, and Yang Jingkang, like other returnees, was forced to stay in Pukou due to insufficient transportation.

If it weren't for Huayin Group's full efforts to dredge up, Yang Jingkang would not have a good life.

At that time, although Pukou had achieved considerable development, Yang Jingkang, who was busy returning home at that time, did not have time to look around in the future.

The business was not too busy this time, so Yang Jingkang wanted to take advantage of this spare time to visit Pukou.

The Pukou area is an important external gateway of Jinling.

On the current river, no bridge across the river has been built yet, and Jinling is now the largest inland trading city in China, as well as a place where people gather and distribute.

Therefore, the water traffic in Pukou is extremely busy.

Early in the morning of the second day after arriving in Pukou, Yang Jingkang set off from the hotel where he was staying, preparing to rent a car and go to the riverside.

Chapter 892: Along the street at the station

Yang Jingkang lives near the station.

When we arrived here last night, it was already very late, and Yang Jingkang was very tired all the way, so he didn't pay attention to the surrounding scene.

Until now, he realized that the prosperity here is beyond his imagination!

After leaving the hotel, Yang Jingkang found that in front of the hotel where he lived was a bustling street.

This street is not wide, but it is also a standard two-way four-lane. The reason why it has not been expanded to make it wider is because the large area is occupied by many shops and high-rise buildings.

For example, in the area where Yang Jingkang is located, there are hotels built along the street all around.

Pukou connects to Jinling in the south and is the terminal of Jinpu Railway, with a huge daily passenger flow.

So there are an unusually large number of hotels and hotels around the train station.

On the street in front of the station, as far as the eye can see, there are large and small hotels and hotels distributed from the beginning to the end, roughly counting, there are at least three to five hundred!

Regardless of the size of these hotels and hotels, the facades are also quite neatly decorated.

Needless to say, large hotels often occupy a large piece of land in the spare space of small and medium hotels, and build tall buildings with [-] or [-] floors, all surrounded by special glass for decoration.

On the square in front of a store called "Dukou Hotel", Yang Jingkang also saw a ten-meter-high "Welcome Pine" statue standing in it.

It is difficult to transport such a huge pine tree in the city, so the builder of the hotel was ingenious and had this huge welcoming pine carved out of marble to welcome and send off travelers from south to north.

Behind the huge statue is a fountain landscape with a diameter of more than [-] meters.

The guests who came here were either wearing suits or long gowns and mandarin jackets, and it was clear that they were all elite figures from the upper class of society.

Today's Jinling is the most prosperous commercial capital in the country. Pukou is the gateway of Jinling, and most of the businessmen who come and go are big businessmen.

These people who came in and out were either driving luxury cars or accompanied by bodyguards.

Yang Jingkang just stood here for a while, and saw at least hundreds of cars driving to the parking lot behind the hotel.

These vehicles are not their own, but leased.

Because most of the elites who come here traveled from north to south, it is impossible to drive across the north and south in a car, but come here by plane or train.

So these luxury cars are all rented by them from nearby car rental companies.

Yang Jingkang will also rent a car in a while, so he is not surprised by this.

This is mainly due to the rise of the economy. As the economy has gotten better and better in the past two years, a large number of car rental companies have successively opened in prosperous commercial areas or urban gateways such as Pukou and Hankou.

Up to now, the scale of these car rental companies has all expanded.

As Yang Jingkang walked on the road, he could see some cars passing by from time to time, with the name or logo of a certain car dealership printed on the car body.

Different from the cars in the dealership, these vehicles are usually parked on the side of the road, or waiting for rental at designated locations.

Their operating model is a bit like the taxis in the future.

In cities with a high passenger flow, such as Pukou and Jinling, most of the people who come and go are businessmen, and their demand for vehicles is extremely high.

In the past one or two years, such a car rental model has emerged as the times require.

Similar to later generations, these vehicles are also parked at stations, hotels, or bustling areas, or they just wander back and forth on the streets.

As long as passengers come to take the car, the driver will charge according to the distance traveled.

When renting a car in a car dealership, most of them are rented for a whole day, or simply for a few days. Temporary rentals and taxis are all done on the side of the road or at designated locations.

Yang Jingkang would not take this kind of "street car", because this time he will go shopping in Pukou for a day.

But now he is not in a hurry, and wants to look around along the street.

On both sides of the street, in addition to various large and small hotels and luxury hotels, there are many shopping malls and shops on the opposite side and at some corners.

The scale of these shopping malls and shops is not large, but they are very particular about the decoration of their facades.

The people who come and go from south to north near the station are rich people with high taste and requirements, so most of the stores used neat glass doors and windows and windows when they were decorating.

The name of the store is not engraved on a plaque, but replaced by a striking advertising light board.

These advertising light boards are all designed by a special person. Some of the fonts on them are flamboyant and some are dignified and majestic. Even from a distance, they look extremely dazzling.

There are two to three hundred stores like this on this street.

"Blank" [-] ·

It's just that because most of the customers near the station are temporary customers, there are no large-scale shopping malls.

Even so, the scene here is quite prosperous.

When he came here last night, Yang Jingkang saw that the entire road here was colorfully reflected by those flashing neon signs.

The billboards and lights on the outer wall of the glass curtain wall of the hotel building illuminate the large area below as if it were daytime!

Most of these shops are restaurants, teahouses, etc., where tourists come and go from the palace to rest.

In addition, there are even some shops selling snacks, melons and fruits, and local specialties here.

The business model of this store is very similar to the supermarkets of later generations.

.... 0 0

The reason for their birth is also very simple.

There are too many customers coming and going here, and the needs of each customer are different. Some thoughtful merchants bring together various goods.

It is from this that a business model like the supermarkets of later generations was born.

Yang Jingkang bought a bag of dried fruit from a shop, walked out of this bustling street, and waited for the bus at the intersection.

Now Pukou's bus passenger transport system has been built extremely complete.

The Pukou area is small, but there are at least several hundred buses and trams operating in the city.

Only such a large number of buses and trams can meet the huge daily passenger demand.

And these buses are naturally operated by Huayin Transportation System.

In the past half a year, Huayin Transportation Company has not only trained a large number of drivers, but also opened new passenger routes in areas where traffic has just been established.

The most important thing is that the transportation company has also spared a lot of energy to expand the urban bus system in prosperous cities such as Pukou, Jinling, Shanghai, and Xuzhou.

Now the number of buses in these cities has expanded by at least ten times compared to before!

In a place like Pukou, which is a gateway for passengers and goods, the expansion of the bus system has reached an astonishing level.

At the beginning, due to the shortage of drivers in the transportation company, the number of buses running in Pukou was only [-] or [-] every day.

But now, this number is expanding wildly, reaching hundreds!begging.

Chapter 893: Jinling Portal, Pukou Rise

After waiting for a while at the bus stop at the intersection, Yang Jingkang waited for a bus to a nearby car rental company.

After arriving at the destination, Yang Jingkang explained his purpose to the car rental company, rented a car for a day, and hired a driver.

This car rental company is just an ordinary one in Pukou, but the number of cars in the car dealership is quite a lot, three to four hundred, and these cars are all from Huayin Group.

Before the development of Huayin Group, cars were a luxury that only dignitaries could afford.

However, in recent years, Huayin Group's industrial production capacity has continued to increase, and the number of cars produced has also increased day by day. All these produced vehicles have been put into the market, which has greatly reduced the price of cars in the market.

By now, even the moderately wealthy could afford a car.

And those rich and powerful families, or "[-]" bought multiple cars because of their appearance or to meet their needs.

Not to mention car rental companies, the number of cars under their hands is increasing rapidly.

It's just that these cars were not purchased by them, but leased from Huayin Group.

According to the size of the car dealership and the number of rented vehicles, the car rental dealership pays a certain amount of rent to Huayin Group on a regular basis to obtain the right to use these vehicles.

They then lease those vehicles out.

Of course, this refers to the general car dealership.

Those car dealers do not have a large sum of money to buy hundreds or thousands of cars, so they can only lease them.

But if the capital behind the car rental company is rich enough, they can also choose to directly buy a large number of cars from Huayin Group, and then lease them out.

So Zhao Jingkang could see that the logo of Huayin Group was printed on the body of these cars in the car rental shop.

After getting in the car, Zhao Jingkang thought for a while and said to the driver, "Take me around the city first."

Inside the city, naturally refers to the bustling area of ​​Pukou.

After several years of development, the urban scale of Pukou has been expanding day by day, gradually forming its own prosperous zone and inner and outer city areas.

The outer city area refers to the places around the railway station and the bus station.

These areas are in line with the outside world, less prosperous than the inner city, and mainly receive some outsiders, as well as some tourists from Jinling.

The inner city is the bustling place of Pukou area.

Zhao Jingkang passed by here a few times before, but because of business, he didn't have time to go around the inner city.

Today he can take a good tour.

The driver heard the words and drove the car into the inner city.

From the moment he entered the bustling area, Zhao Jingkang opened his eyes.
