Zhao Qing was a woman, so Li He couldn't find her. He could only take Wan Liangyou for a stroll through the streets and alleys of Shenzhen.
Wan Liangyou had nothing to do, so he followed behind Li He again.
In front of them, other than the "Three Days, One Floor" skyscrapers and other skyscrapers, there were billboards, Great Wall Electronics, Jiang Zhong Cao Shanhu, Hundred Dragons mineral water bottles, and 'McDonald's' written in traditional Chinese characters.
The economic guidelines of 1992 were to shift the focus of the economy to the track of restructuring and improving efficiency.
The agricultural provinces focused on efficient agriculture, the riverside regions focused on efficient exports, the government wanted efficient production, and the enterprises wanted efficient government policies …
In the whole of China, almost everyone talked about efficiency.
To achieve efficiency, you had to sell products, and to sell products, you had to advertise. From the streets to television stations and newspapers, there were advertisements everywhere. Central TV's advertising revenue could reach 500 million.
What was important was the golden idea and good advertising, which was more important than the product itself.
The most amazing was the mineral water bottle, which was said to contain a variety of minerals needed by the human body. The Hundred Dragons mineral water bottle had the functions of sterilization, purification, magnetization, and mineralization. It could be said to be the originator of China's advertising implantation and the miracle of China's advertising industry. With the help of China's first TV sitcom, 'The Story of the Editorial Department', and the popularity of Qigong, it became famous overnight. Its reputation was known by almost every household in China's major cities.
The Hundred Dragons mineral water bottle was priced at 298 yuan per bottle. It wasn't a low price, but whether it was a newly married family or moving to a new house, it would be embarrassing to say you were trendy if you didn't buy a mineral water bottle.
In more than 100 cities, the Hundred Dragons mineral water bottle sold like crazy, creating a market miracle of selling cold water bottles in winter.
The familiar line "You won't lose out with one yuan, you won't be fooled with one yuan" was derived from the Hundred Dragons' advertising slogan.
It was a golden idea that everyone praised.
The whole society believed that an "idea" could save a company, a public relations plan could help a product, and a bold strategy could create a millionaire.
But after the mineral water bottle war, the entire industry died.
The most eye-catching was the huge poster of "Comrade Xiaoping in Shenzhen" on the intersection of Shennan Avenue and Hongling Road. It was more than 300 square meters in size, and a finger was as tall as a person.
In this portrait of Xiaoping, Comrade Xiaoping, who was wearing a light brown jacket, had a wise look in his eyes and was in high spirits. His right hand was extended in front of him, displaying the majestic posture of a great man pointing out the world.
Deng Xiaoping's speech was also written on it. "If we don't uphold socialism, if we don't reform and open to the outside world, if we don't develop the economy, and if we don't improve the people's lives, only death awaits us."
When it was erected in June, it immediately caused a sensation. There was probably no other street poster in the world that received such attention.
It had already become a famous "landmark" in Shenzhen and had a wide influence both at home and abroad.
Behind the tall building, in addition to the beautiful sunset, a few more steps, there was either a small river or a stretch of shacks. There were also many dinghies on the river.
Shenzhen, which was flourishing and full of vitality, still did not break away from the scope of a fishing village.
The two of them took many twists and turns. As they were about to head back, they realized that they were a little lost.
An old lady was selling pineapple honey and kept saying, "Pineapple honey, pineapple honey, pineapple honey …"
Li He went forward and asked, "Sis, which direction is the World Trade Center?"
"Are you afraid of Lu Di?" The old lady babbled.
Li He did not pass the Qionghai dialect test. He started to doubt life and did not understand a single word. He had a classmate who was from Qionghai and wanted to cry every time he heard him speak.
"Thank you." Li He turned around and left.
Unknowingly, he and Wan Liangyou walked into a factory area. Most of them were garment factories and knitting factories. There was only one main road. Other than factory dormitories, there were farmers' houses of different shapes on both sides. Some factories and farmland were intertwined with each other. There were also signboards that looked like flowers scattered by fairies and dusty container trucks.
At first glance, this place looked rough and ferocious, but gradually, one could feel a sense of vitality and it became more pleasing to the eye.
This blind-like road was narrow and had no special characteristics. It looked especially spacious.
The dormitories of the factories were basically around the factory area. They were basically small buildings with five or six floors. Uniform was hung on every corridor. Occasionally, clothes of other colors could be seen, making them look brighter.
Li He looked at the dormitory area curiously. It was probably lunchtime. There were many people walking back and forth between the factory area and the dormitory. The men and women looked like ghosts. Their figures were blurry, and their eyes were bloodshot.
Most of them were children. Li He was willing to bet that many of them were less than 16 years old. He seemed to see wrinkles on their young faces.
While the security guards were not paying attention, Li He and Wan Liangyou sneaked into the dormitory.
The men's dormitory was like a secret room. There were six bunk beds in the small room for 12 people. There were all kinds of things under the beds. There was all kinds of garbage on the ground, the ceiling fan was dirty and rusty, the towels were dripping, the sneakers were drying next to the toothbrush, and the bedding was crumpled.
The women's dormitory was a little cleaner, but it was still narrow and suffocating.
"They actually used child labor. They are so f * cking immoral!" Li He felt uncomfortable.
Many half-grown children were eating from enamel jars while looking at Li He, who was growling at them, puzzled.
Wan Liangyou said awkwardly, "You can't say that. They were given a way out. I joined the army when I was 16 years old."
"How can it be the same!" Li He could not hide his anger. "This kind of boss should be struck by lightning! F * ck him! "
Wan Liangyou covered his forehead with his hand and pretended not to see anything. He pointed to the big words on the top floor that were shining under the afterglow of the sunset. "Look at that."
When Li He saw those words, he was instantly dumbfounded!
Golden Deer Textile!
It was actually his own factory!
That was f * cking awesome!
"Yu Dehua deserves to die!" Li He had the urge to strangle Yu Dehua!
Wan Liangyou explained, "Compared to other cars, the conditions here are not bad. Why bother about this? If they don't work, what else can they do?"
He was born in poverty and lacked food and clothing since he was a child. In his opinion, the conditions of these factories were already very good. If he was young and had such conditions, he would be smiling even in his dreams.
In this world, there had always been many unimaginable sufferings for city people.
These children basically had no way out in their hometown. The only thing waiting for them was poverty. Besides working, what else could they do?
Moreover, they could earn three to five hundred yuan a month. They could also subsidize their family and solve their family's predicament.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Five or six security guards rushed over and surrounded Li He and Wan Liangyou.
