章 562: 469

After getting in the car.

A group of people in two Mercedes-Benz cars headed toward the urban area.

It was the year 2005, and the traffic situation in Beijing was not as frustrating as it was in the later era, but the signs of congestion were emerging. This was inevitable due to the increasing wealth of the population, the decreasing price of cars, and the unbalanced economic development across the country.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen were the industrial clusters with scale advantages. For many professions, leaving these places would basically make you unable to use your skills. For example, if you were in shipbuilding, you had no option but to go coastal.
