Chapter 445 New Journey

"It's yours, who is it if you run away?"

"Okay then, just give me this list, and I'll go around."

"Are you all going?"

"Ah, I want to go and see everything. I just happen to have a look around. Why not run? Take a look around by the way."

"Alright. That's fine. I'll leave it to you. You can arrange the time yourself." Chen Peng thought for a while and nodded.

In fact, every salesman company will arrange some such work for him according to the situation. It can be regarded as guidance work. I will give you a few goals to work hard, and I will touch the surrounding area along the way.

However, not all salesmen can accept it, like Lao Xia and Lao Li, who don’t want to go anywhere except around Shenyang.

How to say this thing, not only can bear hardships and not be afraid of tiredness, but also have to be bold. It is not so easy to go out alone to a completely unfamiliar place, especially in the Northeast.

Northeast people are generally quick-tempered, straightforward, and willing to fight. Sometimes they fight without specific reasons. After the fight, both parties are confused.

The timid really dare not go out alone.

Like Chen Peng, he was active in the area around Shenyang, Anshan, Benxi, and he had never been to Jilin and HLJ. Because Zhao Xianmin was older, he ran farther, but he didn't go far.

The bravest people this year are from Zhejiang. They can be seen everywhere in the world, and they can indeed endure hardships and persevere.

There is no place in the Northeast where they cannot go, and their business can be found everywhere, and unlike the Cantonese who basically rely on cheating, the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang rely on hard work to make money, so they can take root everywhere.

Although the people from the Northeast are a bit irritable, they are very soft and warm inside, and they are very willing to help out with things within their capacity. They are full of sympathy, so they generally get along very well with these people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

We must know that before the mid-90s, the Northeast was the wealthiest place in the country, not one of them. This concept and impression even continued until the advent of the Internet era after 2000 before it was destroyed by reality.

……

Packing up his luggage, that is, bringing some clothes and heavy samples, and paying 4000 yuan from the company, Zhang Xinglong set off with a feeling of nervousness and anticipation.

His first stop was Harbin, the legendary first city in Asia.

Harbin was built relatively late, but its history is not weak at all. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was the famous Platinum Fort culture, complete architecture and ceramic crafts, and fishery and animal husbandry representing the civilized era.

In 1115, this was the capital of the Jin Dynasty, Shangjing.

In the Ming Dynasty, here was the famous Nuer Gandusi.

In the Qing Dynasty, a large amount of the original land here was occupied by Tsarist Russia.

From 1896 to 1903, Tsarist Russia began to build the Middle East Railway on Chinese soil, which was used to connect St. Petersburg and Vladivostok and Dalini, the two seaports.

From 1712 to 1922, St. Petersburg was the capital of Tsarist Russia. After the October Revolution in 1917, the Soviet Union moved its capital to Moscow in 1922.

Lenin once promised to return the land of China, including Vladivostok, but everything disappeared with his death.

Dalini is Dalian, which means far away in Russian. It was the name given by the Russian Tsar Nicholas. Later, it was called Dalian due to dialect corruption.

Harbin, as the intersection connecting St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, and Dalian, quickly developed into a modern city and quickly became the largest international commercial port in the Far East. More than 33 expatriates from 16 countries gathered here. countries have consulates here.

During the Puppet Manchukuo period, Changchun rose to become the two major international financial centers alongside London, but failed to replace Harbin's status as a city in international trade. The number one city in the Far East prospered.

This is also the place where the communist ideology was first spread, the place where the student labor movement was the first, the command center during the Anti-Japanese War in Northeast China, and the first large city liberated by New China.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Harbin developed rapidly, transforming from a commercial and consumption city into an emerging industrial city, ranking second in the country after Shenyang.

Then with the construction of the third line, Harbin was not spared. Like Shenyang, a large number of advanced elite enterprises were relocated to the inland, and the industry gradually shrank.

After the reform and opening up, Harbin, together with Shenyang, began to support the construction of the coastal areas in the customs unlimitedly, and began to export endlessly. Until today, it has finally changed from the second largest heavy industrial area in the country to the largest grain production area in the country.

The endless black land nurtures the hardworking people here, and they have achieved a great transformation like self-salvation.

It's a pity that Shenyang doesn't even have the conditions to turn into an agricultural area.

……

"What do you want to eat?" In a small restaurant next to Harbin Railway Station, Zhang Xinglong, who had just got off the train, was about to eat.

"Let's fry Mushu zizi and put fungus in it?"

"Yes, do you want something else?"

"Then let's have some dried tofu with sharp pepper. Don't make the rice too hard. I feel sick to my stomach."

"Okay, do you want some wine? Drink to relieve fatigue."

"But pull it down, don't drink, I can't come to that."

"Mom, if you don't drink alcohol, I can make eight of ten bottles." The waitress who ordered food gave Zhang Xinglong a contemptuous look.

"I'm allergic to alcohol. I drink it all over my body. Can you scratch me? If you scratch me, I'll drink it. Come?"

The girl pouted and went to place an order later.

Zhang Xinglong lit a cigarette, reached out to wipe the table with paper, and found that there was no napkin, and he used a knife to cut paper.

"Waiter, are there no napkins?"

"That's right."

"Isn't this toilet paper? Use this to wipe the table and wipe your mouth?"

"Ah, it's clean, why not wipe it? There are still rules on how to use paper?"

Zhang Xinglong turned his head and looked: "You all use this here? Don't you use napkins?"

"What is a napkin?"

"It's specially used for restaurants. It's embossed and colored paper. It's softer and more beautiful than this one."

"I don't know, you can ask the boss."

Soon the dishes were served, and the rice was also served. The boss came out from behind wearing an apron and wiping his sweat: "What's wrong?"

"What did he say about napkins, but I didn't understand. What kind of paper is not the same?" The waiter pointed to Zhang Xinglong.

It's not time for dinner yet, and there are not many customers in the store.

"Did you come from Shenyang?" The boss came over and sat down, and threw a cigarette to Zhang Xinglong.

"Well, how do you know?"

"We use a knife to cut paper here. Everyone is used to it. You Shenyang people are the only ones who can choose this. The restaurants over there are all napkins. It's really pretty."

"Then Jilin doesn't need it?"

"Yes, Siping uses it. Changchun also cuts paper with a knife, and there are fewer napkins. There is not even a factory here, and there is nowhere to buy it. That thing looks hygienic."

"Have you been to many places?"

"I used to run around when I had nothing to do. Now I don't have time to run. I'm getting old. What are you doing here?"

"Selling things, salesman, that's all, packing boxes and so on. Boss, if you have the resources, let me introduce it. I can give you a commission when the time comes." Zhang Xinglong pointed to a bag of samples.
