Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hongjian and the others were driving in the city, and they were a little surprised!Why do you say that?Because the whole city is really depressed!What kind of library is dilapidated, the windows are all broken in a mess, it is obvious that it has not been used for a long time.乐-read-novel.２３x.com The apartments on the side of the road are full of graffiti. From time to time, a few old blacks walk by the side of the road with unkind eyes.Jia Hongjian and the others looked along the side of the road and saw countless front houses abandoned, even some shops with the signs of pawn shops were abandoned.what does it feel likeWill the pawn shops go out of business?Although there are many people in the whole city, there are really not many cars, which really makes people feel like the streets of China a few years ago!Even looking at the center of the city, many hotels and office buildings have been abandoned, and the eyes of the old blacks looking at them intentionally or unintentionally, really made everyone feel an ominous feeling—are we so f*cking? conspicuous?Are we going to get robbed?

That's right!Now they themselves feel as if they are three-year-olds holding a pile of gold bars and making trouble, as if they are luring others to commit crimes!When the whole city is in ruins, a group of people appear on the street in a brand new commercial van, which is too eye-catching!It's too easy to be a target!And what the hell, Jia Hongjian and the others are really rich!They are really timid!My own life is more valuable than tens of billions of RMB!And being robbed is a trivial matter, what if that old black gets agitated and shoots and wounds people before robbing?What if your sister is seriously injured?After thinking of this, Jia Hongjian and the others immediately walked away, and they didn't care about coming to Detroit for an interview after reading it.That is, I turned a corner in a straight line and walked out of the city.When you get outside the city, get on the expressway directly, and then go to other surrounding satellite cities.

Relatively speaking, the satellite cities around Detroit... that is also very miserable.Because this American city is actually the same as the country. It is said that the poor live in the city and the rich live outside the city, but in fact, the housing prices and land prices in the city center can fly to the sky!Just like the big cities in the country-what the hell is the land price in the heart of the Shanghai Stock Exchange?Yes, there are indeed many old Shikumen houses in the alleys behind Xinnanjin Road in Shanghai, almost a hundred years old.For example, there are all kinds of shantytowns on the nearby Fuzhou Road. Many migrant workers here rent a small single room, and the toilets are shared by the community. They are not rich.But does it mean the land is cheap?Think about it, why are there so many dilapidated houses in the most elite places in Shanghai?It's because it can't be dismantled!Developers are aware of this demolition.A building may cost tens of millions of dollars!This is like a courtyard house in the capital. It looks quite broken, but what is the price of a courtyard house within the second ring road in 2012?Every [-] million can't buy it!At this price, someone dares to demolish it?

So it is the same as the demolished households in big cities in China are further demolished and resettled, and the further they are resettled, the more suburbs they are resettled.This is the bourgeoisie over there in the United States.It can be regarded as being forced by the land price to get it to the suburbs.Of course.The land price is not the only reason, other reasons include the rising income of a certain class will definitely require larger houses, lower density housing and a better environment.The city center has convenient transportation, but all kinds of consumption are also expensive.In the suburbs, the land is cheap, you can buy a bigger house, and the environment is better. If you use a car, the traffic will not be troublesome.Moreover, the United States has a different national condition from other countries, that is, their school districts are not the same as those in China. The quality of their school districts depends entirely on the local taxation.A satellite city is full of the middle class, and the taxes must be higher than those paid by migrant workers in a school district in the city center, so the school district in the suburbs receives more education funds than the city center, which makes the suburbs even more attractive!And if it is said that the rich here in the country deliberately buy houses in the city center to show off their wealth, this also happens in the United States!The United States has that kind of high-end apartment building in the city center. An apartment is only a few hundred square meters in size, and there is still an elevator to reach the home. There is only one family on the first floor. This apartment costs more than 1000 million US dollars!

After all, in a place like Detroit.The same proletarians used to live in the suburbs, and a large number of factories moved to the suburbs for various reasons after the land prices in the urban areas rose.Later, when these factories began to move to the country, the factory buildings must have been abandoned, and when the law and order and employment began to decline, the bourgeoisie moved away one after another.The final result is that large tracts of satellite cities on the outskirts of Detroit are abandoned, while the urban area is quite popular, but this popular popularity is actually poor old blacks who don't even have the money to move away!Although when it comes to the suburbs, patches of neighborhoods are abandoned.But at least there were no old blacks here, so at least Jia Hongjian and the others felt at ease.

In the end, Jia Hongjian and the others settled down after running [-] kilometers to the northeast and arriving in "London City" in Canada.As for London, Canada, it is in the southwest direction of Toronto, and it is very close to Detroit.After Jia Hongjian and the others arrived in London and settled down, they hurriedly bought a dilapidated second-hand MPV commercial vehicle, and after getting in touch with Imahara's buddy's cousin, Fa Xiao, they went back to the car the next day. Went to Detroit.Soon, they met such an old black man named Deeds near the Michigan Central Station in Detroit.This Deeds really doesn't look like a bad guy.He was wearing a plaid short-sleeved shirt, buttoned neatly, and the hem of the shirt was still tucked into the suit pants.Even with a big beard, the expression on his face can still make people feel that he is an honest person.

"Hi, buddy, how are you? My name is Jia..." After Jia Hongjian and the others got out of the car, they shook hands and fists with Diz one by one.After picking up Diz in the car, Jia Hongjian and the others started chatting with him. "Hey, buddy, what did you do before?" Jia Hongjian asked. "I used to be an employee of a pawn company. I have worked in it for 17 years. The company closed down a few years ago. The boss took the whole family to the south, and we employees can only find our own way. Originally, I wanted to The house was sold, and I took the whole family south. But at such a time, the house is really hard to sell. There are empty houses everywhere..." Diz shook his head and said with a sigh.

This is Lao Hei. It is estimated that Diz didn't have any savings before, so if the company closes down and can't find a new job immediately, there will be problems in life, let alone bringing the whole family south.At that time, it was definitely not easy to sell a house or something. Jia Hongjian remembered that Detroit seemed to have begun to decline in the 8090s and [-]s. It was not a day of freezing, and Detroit could be dilapidated into what it is today.Definitely not a year or two.The car carried Deeds.Then he drove all the way to his house not far away.After helping him move out a gas cylinder and gas welding equipment from his home, Diz directed Jia Hongjian and the others to go to the suburbs.After driving for almost an hour, I felt as if I had entered some former industrial area, and there were various abandoned factories everywhere.It was as if Diz had come to his own home.Pointing to read how Jia Hongjian and the others drove. "I've come here too many times. It's almost as familiar as my own home. Now I rely on picking up junk here to support my family. But Mr. Jia, I have to say, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you People of the country, I can't live like this now..."

When I heard this.Jia Hongjian immediately wondered if the other party was talking ironically?Is the other party sarcastic?Just when he was thinking this way, he heard Nadizi say again: "Now I come out in a day, if I read hard and work from morning to night, I may earn a thousand dollars! It's all Because of your people's demand for all kinds of scrap metal. If it weren't for your people's demand, maybe my family and I would have to rob, murder and drug trafficking for a dollar..." When he said this, Diz It was a bit of a sigh, but at the same time there was a kind of happy expression.So it looks like Diz is serious?He really thinks that our countrymen saved him?Jia Hongjian couldn’t tell him anything about this. It was because of the development of China that Detroit was gradually destroyed... But thinking about it carefully, Detroit was destroyed in the first place and it had little to do with China. In the beginning, they were because of the invasion of Japanese cars. .Japanese cars have low fuel consumption and quickly defeated the former overlord GM in the United States, making GM and other American automakers unable to sell the muscle cars that used to be featured!This all started in the 80s, and the power of the country at that time was still too far behind.To be honest, it is only in the past few years that the country's demand has become stronger.

Soon, the car arrived at the gate of an abandoned factory according to Diz's instructions.This Diz got out of the car, stepped forward to open the gate of the factory yard, and let the car drive in.Diz led the car to the door of a factory building, and then he took Jia Hongjian who got out of the car to a place behind the factory building, where the back door was open.After Diz took Jia Hongjian and the others in, Jia Hongjian noticed that the inside of such a huge factory building was empty—it wasn’t right to say it was empty, it was actually a mess inside, and most of the machines were empty. Garbage all over the place, such as scattered cables or thick wires, and other things such as metal brackets used to install machines or fix machines.

Deeds turned on his own gas welding machine and began cutting the nearest metal bracket on his own.He first cut the entire bracket from the base, and then cut such a bracket into a steel bar about one meter long and the thickness of the wrist. "I now make money by reading other people's discarded metal products from here and selling scrap products. Like this bracket, it costs more than 200 pounds and can be exchanged for more than ten dollars. Although it is not much, it is enough for the family to eat for a day. There are still so many wires here, and I will take out the copper wires inside and take them back to sell. It costs about 1.5 dollars a pound, and if I get [-] pounds, I will get [-] dollars..."

Fuck?If Jia Hongjian did the calculations like this, why did he feel that the income of such "scavenging" was actually higher than that of going to work?If it is 300 dollars a day, even if we work five days and two days a month, and work 22 days, that is 6600 dollars a month!More than $7 a year!At this time, the average annual income of a family of four in the United States is just over $[-]!That's almost twice as much!Can you become a high-class person by picking up junk?Is there such an exaggeration!
