Chapter 139: There are tall buildings and luxury cars everywhere, and you call this a small county town?

[Walter? It's difficult to immigrate to China? You must be kidding! ]

[That's right, China is a developing country, they should be eager for us to immigrate, right? ]

[Don’t say that! Korea is also a developing country. If you can immigrate there, I’ll take your last name!]

Some people who didn't believe it immediately went to the official website to check the conditions for immigrating to China.

[Friends, I just checked and found that immigrating to China is more difficult than immigrating to the United States! ]

[But there is a chance, as long as you have money, or you have to be a talent that China particularly needs! ]

[In other words, they only welcome high-quality talents. As for those who can't make it in their own country, they'd better not cause trouble for China! ]

[What? What is a high-quality talent? Does a PhD count?]

[Of course not! You need to have significant research results! And this is just the application threshold, it is not certain whether it will be approved or not! ]

[Wardefa? How can a developing country be so tough? ]

Although it is easy for foreigners to come to China to live, it is extremely difficult to immigrate to China.

There are enough people here, and we don’t need so many low-quality foreigners.

"Old man, you were forced to leave at that time. Did you feel resentful?"

The old man frowned: "Resentment? Where does the resentment come from?"

"The country has never let us down!"

"Our house was demolished, but we were also given new houses. Those who don't want to move to the new houses can just take the money and leave!"

“And the housing prices were very cheap then, not as astronomical as they are now!”

"The compensation money is enough to buy a small house. Although the area is not big, it is much better than the adobe house in the village!"

“I think this is good enough!”

He pointed to the surging Yangtze River and said, "Did you see that? The place where we used to live has been flooded for a long time!"

"If we hadn't moved away at that time, we would all have been drowned when the flood came!"

"No matter what others think, I am much happier now than I was then!"

"Of course there are regrets, that is, many people from the same village are scattered all over the world, and we have no contact since then."

"Well, I can only say that there is no such thing as perfection."

[There is compensation, and a new house is built for them. Is this not bad? ]

[Yes, otherwise when the flood comes, everyone will be submerged under the water! ]

[Hahaha, the housing prices are so real, they are all hyped up! ]

[China should be tougher and learn from us, the Eagles, and just forcibly recruit them! ]

[I remembered the guy in Atlanta whose house was demolished by the government, and he had to pay $500,000 in compensation!]

[Wat? You have to pay compensation after your house is demolished? That's outrageous! ]

"Hello, mom?"

Sophia called suddenly: "Anna, are you still with your Chinese boyfriend?"

"Yes, Mom, we came to see China's Three Gorges Dam. It's really amazing!"

Anna took a few photos and sent them over.

"It's really shocking, but Anna, shouldn't you come back and take a look?"

"Ah? Mom, what happened?"

"No, it's just that you've been in China for several months, and your father and I miss you a little."

Anna was startled and thought something had happened because of her sudden call.

Since everything was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll go back after a while."

"By the way, bring your boyfriend back. Your dad and I will check on him for you."

"Okay, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Anna bit her lip and said to Chen Lu: "Dear, Mom misses me a little. Can you go back with me later?"

If she hadn't said it, Chen Lu would have almost forgotten about it. Yes, Anna is their youngest daughter, and she must be very favored at home.

Mom and Dad must miss her a lot after not going back for a few months.

And if you want to get married, you must get the emperor's approval.

"Sure, I'll go back with you whenever you want."

"Wait a little longer, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

There are so many fun and delicious things in China that she feels she won’t get bored even if she stays there for many more years.

Fortunately, I didn't listen to Arika.

If I had listened to her, not only would I not be able to eat so many delicious foods, but I would also not be able to be with Chen Lu.

"But I want to buy some things and send them back first."

Anyway, China’s cross-border express delivery is so convenient and things can be sent very quickly.

Although my parents have everything they need, this is a token of my thoughtfulness.

Buy them some Chinese specialty products and send them back!

"Okay, then I'll take you to Yiwu."

"Yiwu?"

Anna vaguely remembered that she had heard this place name in Hangzhou Mall.

At that time, there were several foreign athletes discussing going to Yiwu for large-scale purchasing.

"Yes, it is the world's largest small commodity distribution center. You can buy everything you want, and they are all good quality and cheap."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

[The world's largest? Really?]

[How come China is the best in the world! ]

[If it was in the past, I would definitely say he was bragging, but now I dare not say that! ]

[Yes, China's current development has really exceeded my imagination! ]

"Old man, let's go first. I'll take my girlfriend to Yiwu for a walk."

"Okay, go ahead. Seeing you guys living such a happy life, I know my blood was not shed in vain!"

Chen Lu saluted the old man, and he saluted in return.

Although his body was a little hunched and his arms were still shaking, his military salute was very standard!

This is engraved in my bones, and I will never forget it even after many years!
Chen Lu took Anna to Yiwu and arrived a day later.

As soon as she arrived in Yiwu, Anna was shocked.

Looking around, you can see tall buildings rising from the ground. Buildings over 100 meters high can be seen everywhere. The exteriors are all covered with silver curtain walls, shining under the sunlight.

The streets are full of luxury cars, forming a beautiful landscape.

"My dear, Yiwu must be one of the top cities in your China, right?"

Chen Lu smiled and shook his head: "To be precise, this is just a small county town."

Small county town?
Just kidding!

Look at the skyscrapers all over the place, there are even more of them than in Beijing!

There aren't that many viaducts.

[Small county town? Does he have any misunderstanding about small county towns? ]

[If it weren’t for the Chinese character next to it, I would have thought this was on Wall Street! ]

[A small county town has so many tall buildings? I don’t believe it! ]

[There should be a limit to bragging! This is definitely the largest city in China! ]

"I'm not lying to you. This is indeed a small county town, but among all the county-level cities in China, Yiwu's GDP ranks first all year round!"

That's more like it.

But why does such a small county have such a high GDP?
