Be amazed...

#1 Post by stumpjumper » Wed Dec 28, 2011 1:16 am

I've been doing business for a while with Haier, a commercial concern whose physical address is:

Qinghai Road, Shibei, Qingdao, Shandong, China (enter that in Google maps - zoom in and have a look around)

I thought I'd google map the guys and see what sort of place they lived in. Paste the physical address into Google maps, zoom in and check out the development going on everywhere!

The old houses are generally single storey with terra cotta roofs built around three or four sides of a square. My main contact lives in one he says is made of polished wood inside - his family, who used to be fishermen, have lived there for 300 years. Their house, in fact their suburb, will shortly be bulldozed to make way for a high-rise tower in which the family will have an apartment.

The bulldozing is not the point - that's just the way things go there - the point is the absolutely vast scale of development going on, from industrial, to transportation and residential.

Haier's product is excellent, I might add, and cheap.
