1. There are a lot of people may not know, in addition to the big city housing prices are higher than the small city, the price of goods here, than the small city is also low. By low, I mean that his value is grossly disproportionate to his price.
I used to live in Nanhai, which is actually not a small city, but at that time I lived in Pingzhou, an urban village, where prices were equal to those in big cities, but the quality was far worse.
Why? Because there was no competition.
There are only a few breakfast places here, and you can count the snack bars on your fingers.
When you come out for breakfast in the morning, there are only humble roadside stalls and Shaxian snacks, and the prices aren't cheap: a little bit of sauce, mixed with a little bit of noodle, similar to the instant noodles you eat, can be sold for 10 dollars. You can't get anything better, and in my opinion, he's expensive.
The best rice you can buy here also tastes extremely poorly made and is not sold at a cheap price, the average minimum has to be sold for 18, plus a soup, then run 30 to go. But I found that in Guangzhou, some specialized private do lunch place, do clean and delicious, three dishes and a soup, also 20-30, in small places? Even if you're willing to pay that much, still nothing.
It's not just the prices that are oddly high here, but they also sell fake cigarettes, fake booze, and fake shampoo. Of course, he didn't sell fake ones every time, the real ones mixed with the fake ones.
No coincidence. Where I live now is outside the 3rd ring road in Xi'an, which used to be a small town that was later incorporated as a neighborhood due to urban expansion. I found that the prices in this place are again in the same situation as where I used to stay.
There are more than 20 snack bars under my house, but you will find that none of them are good. The reason for this is the lack of fierce competition.
On the other hand, the domestic cherries we have here go for 50 pounds, which is not worth the price except for the color and shape. But if I run to the city center, people's imported cherries are also in the 50 yuan a catty, but no matter the shape, color, taste, sweetness, are better than those outside the Third Ring Road.
2. There are more opportunities in the big city.
I'll give you an example. I had a bitcoin party in '13, and I only found 20 or 30 people in Shenzhen and Guangzhou combined, which is the first-tier city in the country. You don't want to underestimate this number, if it's like on the Changsha side, there's no such crowd at all.
Some people say: "Nowadays, information is not circulated on the Internet. The first thing you need to do is to get on the Internet.
Not really, in the early days of the industry, there was not so much information available for you to get online. 13 years ago, the self media had not yet emerged, not to mention the blockchain self media that you see today, the blockchain self media, it is only when the whole industry body frame, there will be such vertical things. The very beginning of the flow of information, it is circulated in a small circle, bitcoin is the most profitable, the most suitable for investment in the golden period, is also this time.
Meanwhile, the whole industry of bitcoin, the most hotly conducted is still in Beijing, and other cities, like Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, they have money, but it doesn't add up to as much as Beijing.
You can see that the companies at the top of this food chain today: OKCOIN, Firecoin, Bitmain, the only one of the three major exchanges, Bitcoin China, also called it off at the end. All of these companies are in Beijing. Why? Because investment banks and capital, talent are in Beijing, his cost is high, but the most complete supporting resources.
These opportunities are in the big city. However, the losers want to turn around, relying on these opportunities.
3. Compared with small cities, the civilization of big cities is much more developed.
For example, in the urban village where I lived before, every night, there was square dancing downstairs in my building. It was so loud that I could feel the whole ground shaking even though I lived on the second floor.
And you can't go and say or protest about it, people are aborigines, you are just a tenant, people are land owners, you are just an outsider, and if you go and protest, you can only be kicked out of the village. So all you do is put up with it.
When you go to bed at noon, you are often woken up by all sorts of people dragging big speakers selling DVDs and hawking rat poison.
This is something that neighborhoods in big cities don't have. First of all, the architectural structure of the high floors dictates that these phenomena are basically non-existent. And the neighborhoods are managed by the properties, and these properties are managed so well that it's impossible to let these vendors in.
