The Rise Of Space Technology

This is an urban village in a first-tier city in southern Guangdong.

Lao Zhang silently took off the brand of Shacheng Snacks, put it away solemnly, and looked back at his small shop.

It has been 20 years since I have been running Shacheng Snacks here. I started to open a shop here in my twenties and now I am almost 50 years old.

Relying on the small shop of Shacheng Snacks, he raised his two daughters to adults and sent them to finish university. He also bought a house and a car for himself in the city. Years, you can earn pension money by yourself, and then you can go back to your hometown in peace of mind to retire.

Who would have known that the times have changed so quickly, the Shaxian snack bar, which was still bustling and business is booming, has become deserted in a blink of an eye, and now it can't even earn rent for a month.

In the past, this urban village had a large population, young college students who had just graduated, and migrant workers in Nanpiao, and the cheap rent in the urban village also attracted a large number of people to live here.

Naturally, their business of doing food and opening small supermarkets is very good, and it is also very stable, so that the landlord, the fat lady, also increases the rent year after year.

For a small shop less than 100 square meters, at the beginning, the monthly rent was only two or three hundred yuan, and then it slowly rose to thousands, and now the monthly rent is tens of thousands.

But even so, because the source of customers is stable and the business is good, Lao Zhang has already managed it.

After paying the rent, utilities, etc. every month, the old Zhang and his wife can still earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is also very good, much better than part-time jobs.

However, with the popularization and promotion of aircraft, there are fewer and fewer people in urban villages, especially in the past two months.

Almost every day, you can see a large number of people sitting on the aircraft, returning with large and small bags, leaving here and never coming back.

This caused Lao Zhang's Shacheng snack business to plummet. Now the money earned in a month is not enough to even pay the rent. There is no way, Lao Zhang can only choose to turn it off.

"Old Zhang, are you going to close the store too?"

Lao He, who owns a small supermarket next door, saw Lao Zhang removed the signboard and dealt with the contents of the store, preparing to close the store and leave. He didn't even bother to write the transfer, and now no one will take over.

"It's closed, it's closed, and now I can't even earn rent, and it's no fun doing it."

Lao Zhang nodded and said, looking at Lao He's storefront, the two characters "transfer" were also written.

"You haven't moved out yet?"

"Yeah, it is estimated that I can't go out, and there is no one to ask. Now it's not just me that small supermarkets can't do it anymore. There are no people in the nearby big shopping malls and so on, and many stores are closed. already."

"This person, they all went back to the countryside. There is no way to do this business. If they can't go out again in a few days, I will just shut it down."

Lao He reluctantly said that running a small supermarket is actually not rough, especially in places like urban villages, where business is very stable, but there is no one all of a sudden, and their business is impossible to do.

At this time, their landlord, the fat lady, came over, and her face was also full of sorrow.

Now no one rents the house, and no one wants even the storefront. In the past, I had to collect tens of thousands of rent a month. The boy lived very comfortably.

Well now, there are fewer and fewer tenants, and the income has dropped sharply. If this continues, we will have to drink the northwest wind in the future.

"Old Zhang, keep opening this store, I can save you 2,000 a month in rent, how about it?"

Seeing that Lao Zhang was leaving, the landlord, the fat lady, quickly persuaded him.

This Lao He wrote the transfer, which made it clear that he was going to leave. If this Lao Zhang left again, he would lose 10,000 yuan in income in the next month, and how would he live in the future?

Therefore, it was also the first time that she took the initiative to rent the house, which was unprecedented.

"Landlord, even if you cut the price by 5,000, I can't continue to rent. You can see that there is no one here. I can't even earn enough rent in a month. I really can't do it anymore. ."

The old man shook his head and said.

It was also the sun coming out from the west, and the landlord, the fat lady, actually took the initiative to lower the rent herself.

"Now that you're gone, what will I do next?"

"I can't even afford to eat this."

As soon as the fat woman heard it, she couldn't help but sigh, this person is gone, who will this house be rented to in the future? What are you going to eat next? In the future, you can only play mahjong for five yuan.

Hearing the fat woman's lament, Lao Zhang and Lao He also looked at each other and smiled. This fat woman used to be so unrestrained, eating, drinking, playing cards, and playing cards every day. I don't know how comfortable life is. so comfy.

Now the world has changed, and her good days are coming to an end. She can't live on rent in the future. She will have to support herself after all.

At the same time, in the Eight Days Hotel, which is only a few hundred meters away from the old Zhangjia Shacheng Snack Bar, the entire hotel is undergoing a large-scale processing of items.

Mattresses, bed frames, cabinets, etc. are all being dealt with cheaply. Mattresses, bed frames and the like that used to cost thousands of dollars can now be dealt with at 200 yuan.

This attracts a large number of people who do second-hand business to come here to patronize, and take these cheaply handled things to carts and carts.

Ye Hui, the owner of the Eight Days Hotel, was bleeding as he watched the carts of things being pulled away.

In order to open this eight-day hotel, Ye Hui almost went bankrupt, and he borrowed millions of dollars to open the hotel.

Ye Hui personally participated in the decoration, design, items, etc. here, and spent a lot of effort and thought in it. Of course, the hotel did not let him die. The business was very hot, it was full almost every day, and it was very profitable. Ye Hui also let Ye Hui open this eight-day hotel one after another. In just a few years, he has been in the whole There are more than a dozen eight-day hotels in the city, forming a chain of hotels.

Just when Ye Hui was confidently preparing to open the Eight Days Hotel to other cities, the era of aircraft and the era of global villages have arrived.

This dealt a fatal blow to the hotel industry.

Almost overnight, the sound of the hotel plummeted, fewer and fewer people stayed in the hotel, and the business was less than one-tenth of what it used to be. With the large-scale popularization of aircraft, more and more, the business of the hotel was even worse. .

Ye Hui also knows the reason why the hotel business can become popular. The hotel can become popular entirely because of the endless desire and indulgence of modern people.

Of course, there is still a lot of hotel business that is specially given to the needs of the police.

Now, the most important guests of these two parts have disappeared all at once.

An ID card is required to open a hotel room. This is not safe, and it is easy to be found. Before, there was no way. Now, when you open an aircraft, you can go wherever you want. It is very safe and will not be found by anyone.

As for the guests on business trips, let alone different cities now, even going abroad is not considered a business trip. It is very convenient to travel anywhere with an aircraft, and there is no need to travel at all.

Even if there is no aircraft, it is cheaper to play DiDi Global now than to stay in a hotel. Who would come to stay in a hotel, is it uncomfortable to live in their own home?

This is the reason why the hotel business has plummeted, because it has lost the two most important guests, and the business has no way to go on.

no way.

Ye Hui can only dispose of the items in the hotel cheaply. The whole person is extremely reluctant to give up, but he is reluctant to give up, so he still has to do it.

Rent is very expensive, and if you deal with it early, you can reduce losses.

"Where's the road ahead?"

Ye Hui fell into contemplation, thinking about what business to do in the future. This hotel is closed, so he can't be idle. He still has to find some business to do.

hum~ hum~

At this moment, Ye Hui's cell phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was his former partner and friend Yan Hua.

"Hey, old Yan~"

"How are you doing lately?"

"What else can you do? You are also in the hotel business. Do you still need me to say it?"

"My shop is all closed, how about you?"

"It's already closed, everything is sold out."

"I heard that some business related to Guowai is very hot now. I took a path in Siam and cooperated with a powerful local person. When we appeared, he provided protection and resources. How can we cooperate with the three parties? Sample?"

"Siam?"

"Some business?"

As soon as Ye Hui heard it, he immediately understood what Yan Hua said. A certain aspect of the business in Siam is a legal business, so it has always been quite popular.

Now that aircraft are popularized and can fly around the world, Siam's business is even more popular, and it can be said that it is taking off on a rocket.

"How much money to invest?"

"You and I can invest 5 million each, and you and I will each invest 30% of the shares, and the big brother will account for 40%."

Yan Hua said quickly.

"Is this person reliable?"

After Ye Hui heard this, he pondered and said.

When dealing with people in the underworld, if your own strength is not enough, maybe even your bones will be swallowed clean.

"I know your worries. I've learned about it in detail. This person has a good reputation. He has good local resources. Now he just doesn't have the money to do this, and he doesn't have much experience."

"Of course, I was also worried, so I pulled you to do it together. If it is 5 million per person, the pressure will not be so great. In the future, it will mainly be aimed at the customer group in our fruit."

"If he plays tricks with us, we can also start in this regard."

Yan Hua thought about it and told the truth.

"I need to go to the local area for a detailed inspection, and I also need to meet him and understand him in detail before I can make a decision."

Ye Hui thought for a while and replied, now that the business in these areas is really booming, Ye Hui also has the heart to give it a try.

PS: Do you think those industries will decline and which industries will rise?
