#2281 - People are like rivers
Rongcheng City, as a sub-provincial city and megacity in the inland of Daxia, was previously positioned as a commercial and logistics center and comprehensive transportation hub, the southwest gateway, and the rear core of the southwest region.
Now, because of the existence of companies such as Jiuzhou Technology and Rongfei, Rongcheng is regarded by many overseas users as the Eastern Science and Technology City, or even the future science and technology city of Bluestar.
Those who go to ports and financial cities such as Pudong and Hong Kong are basically elites who have already invested in projects in the Daxia financial circle.
As for those who have some technical skills or have cooperated with Jiuzhou-related companies on commercial projects, most of them fly directly to Chengdu.
When the plane landed safely, crowds of foreigners came in like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, adapting to this truly modern smart city.
"Daddy, let's go see the pandas first, ok? There's panda coffee, panda ice cream, and panda smart dolls. They can also teach us to speak Daxia Mandarin and translate for us!"
"Wow~ I really love this city, yo yo yo~ I can eat delicious vermicelli~"
The sounds of discussions in various languages and quarrels among people of all skin colors and faces rang out like wild birds returning to their nests. Occasionally, there would be misunderstandings caused by different behavioral habits, and even quarrels and fights.
However, these chaos will soon be dealt with by the staff of Chengdu International Airport.
Basically, every time a flight lands, the staff at the international airport will habitually make corresponding preparations. The major shopping malls and restaurants inside and outside the airport have already started operating 24 hours a day.
There is always an area on the Blue Star bathed in sunshine. For those strangers who need to adjust their biological clocks after arriving in Chengdu, hot red oil hotpot is not the first choice. Instead, lighter delicacies such as Chaoshan beef hotpot and mushroom clear soup hotpot are more suitable for the taste buds and physical conditions of these strangers.
For Chengdu and its surrounding cities, the most important thing now is not cultural propaganda, but public security and employment.
Although Xishu is an extremely inclusive region, people from all over the world and different nationalities flocked to this region in a short period of time, and frictions often occurred.
Even at the team meeting of Chengdu City, a supervisor said more than once: "If Chengdu City and surrounding cities had not upgraded their smart city systems and equipped enough translation, patrol and security, and cleaning and environmental protection robots, I am afraid that there would be many security incidents on the news TV stations every day!
My request is very simple. While we are having fun having friends coming from afar, we must also do a good job in maintaining public security and have zero tolerance and zero delay for illegal and criminal activities. No matter if the people have white, black, or yellow skin, we cannot favor one over the other!
As for those colorful performances, those that should be banned should be banned, and those that should be punished should be punished. We, the men of Sichuan, are upright and can sit still. We can't let these bad apples spoil our whole mess!
We must protect the intelligent equipment and talent teams provided by Jiuzhou Technology, Yushu Technology, DJI, and Xiawei, and let them use them in the right way! We are all serving the people, and there is no question of who comes first and who comes later!
At the same time, we must do a good job in receiving talents. No matter they are talents from other regions of our country or overseas talents who have traveled thousands of miles to our city of Chengdu, we must try our best to find suitable enterprises and institutions for them to work in. The large-scale job fairs held once a month should not be stopped. We must pay attention to both large and small ones.
In addition, there are free vocational training, social worker applications, poverty relief, and the handling of illegal stays in Daxia. We must pay attention to all of this! ..."
For inland cities, if they had not received an increasing number of foreigners in recent years, they would have been thrown into disarray by the crazy influx of foreigners.
As the gateway to the southwest, Chengdu has established its foothold in this surging flow of people, while also driving the rapid development of surrounding cities.
After all, among these foreigners who continue to pour into Chengdu, although some are scum, the majority of them are wealthy people with special skills or considerable wallets.
When there are too many people, they must be given something to do, otherwise trouble will arise.
Regular sports games, concerts, cultural performances, customary activities, fishing competitions, photography competitions... basically all restrictions have been lifted for projects that the authorities can think of and that non-governmental organizations can report and pass review.
Faced with the increasingly crowded flow of people in their stores and watching the growing balances in their bank cards, those merchants, apart from buying cars, houses and jewelry, all they had left to do was open new stores and expand their workforce.
Soon, in many restaurants, cafes and coffee shops in Chengdu, foreign faces could be seen almost everywhere serving tea and dishes and making coffee and milk tea.
Although various English improvement classes that were once extremely popular still exist today, the competition for "teaching positions" is extremely high. As soon as these teaching institutions release vacancies and want to recruit foreigners whose native language is English, you can soon see the lively scene of thousands of people competing for one position.
At the same time, language classes that specialize in teaching foreigners to speak Mandarin are extremely popular.
Although foreigners whose native languages are English, German, French, Arabic, Spanish, etc., now have various real-time synchronous translation devices to help them adapt to local life in China, they all know clearly that if they speak fluent Mandarin and know and can write Chinese characters, they will be able to get ahead of a large number of competitors in job interviews, life and making friends, etc.
Under the pressure of life and work, even though Daxia characters are difficult to write and the polyphones and pronunciation of Daxia Mandarin are awkward, they still maintain a high enthusiasm for learning.
Those foreigners who came to Chengdu to live a long time ago also began to enjoy the benefits.
