Chapter 238 Research 1

Just when Gu Lei and the others were forced to stay in He City because of the snowstorm, Gu Qingyu also faced her final exams for the first semester.

After a week of intense exams, Gu Qingyu finally welcomed her winter vacation. Without time to meet up with Chen Mingzhu and others, Gu Qingyu packed her luggage and followed Professor Yan to fly directly to the south for research and investigation.

As the frontier of reform and opening up, the first stop of the inspection was naturally Shenzhen. As soon as Gu Qingyu and his group got off the plane, the people and things they came into contact with undoubtedly showed them the unique vitality of this city.

On the way to the hotel, the members of the inspection team observed the night view of Shenzhen through the car window. Everyone was amazed by the dazzling new sights along the way.

"All these colorful neon signs outside look so pretty!"

"There are still so many people out and about at night. Where we are, by 7 or 8 pm, the streets are basically deserted!"

"Look at how these young people dress. Both the styles and colors of their clothes are much bolder and more diverse than inland areas!"

……

Gu Qingyu looked at the bustling night scene outside and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. It had only been a few years since the reform and opening up, and Shenzhen had undergone such tremendous changes. The prototype of a first-tier city in the future could be vaguely seen.

After a brief rest in the hotel for one night, Gu Qingyu and his team started their busy inspection trip early the next morning.

The members of the inspection team were divided into several groups to conduct research in different industrial fields. Yan Chongzhou and his master and apprentice were assigned to visit an electronics factory in Shenzhen.

On the way to the electronics factory, Yan Chongzhou looked at his students and asked with concern, "What did you feel about what you saw on the way to the hotel last night?"

Feng Ming, a second-year graduate student under Professor Yan's supervision and Gu Qingyu's junior, quickly responded when his teacher asked, "Although much of the infrastructure is still under construction, I feel that Shenzhen's prosperity no longer belongs to our second-tier city!"

"The huge impact of the reform can be seen from people's mental outlook!"

Professor Yan nodded upon hearing this, confirming his student's point of view. He then turned to Gu Qingyu and asked, "Qingyu, what do you think?"

Gu Qingyu sat up straight upon hearing this and replied with a serious attitude, "Since Senior Brother has mentioned the good side, then I will talk about the impact of the reform from the bad side!"

"Shenzhen's thriving nightlife not only demonstrates the economic development changes brought about by reform, but also the enormous pressure on social security!"

"There are also those idle young people covered in tattoos and sex workers hidden under the bright lights and wine and women. These are all the negative effects of economic development."

After listening to Gu Qingyu's speech, Yan Chongzhou concluded, "You two are very observant, which is very good! In the next period of time, you should observe and think more, organize what you have seen and heard in Shenzhen, and submit a paper to me when you return to school."

Gu Qingyu and Feng Ming looked at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. They thought to themselves: Why does the teacher assign homework again!

The few people didn’t chat for long in the car before the car arrived at their first stop of the day - Yuhong Electronics Factory!

This is the largest electronics factory established by attracting investment since the reform and opening up of Shenzhen Stock Exchange. It mainly undertakes the processing of electronic components eliminated and transferred from Europe and the United States. It has nearly 2,000 workers!
