Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start. N...
The group of six first took Zhang Shiqian's motorcycle team to Bohai, then took a boat to Yantai, and then took a train south. It took several days to reach Gwangju.
Anyway, there is still more than half a month before Huaqiangbei opens, so they have plenty of time to work on it.
Just take it as an opportunity to see the scenery and experience train travel.
In his previous life, the farthest place Wan Feng had ever been from home was Beijing, and he almost never left the three northeastern provinces.
This was also his first time to come to the South.
Dalingshan Township is located in the southeast of Dongguan, theoretically between Dongguan and Shenzhen.
Datan Village is located in the southeast of Daling Mountain.
Wan Feng and his group got off the bus at Dalingshan Town and hired a small taxi to arrive at Datan Village.
In Datan Village, they met Zhang Shiqian's first wife, a woman in her forties who still had charm, and his naughty son Zhang Chunlei.
Zhang Shiqian has three children, two daughters and one son. The first two are daughters and the last one is a son.
There is only one son among three children, so this son naturally becomes the apple of the eye. In addition, the Zhang family is rich, so this guy is almost spoiled to the sky.
Even when Wan Feng brought his father's handwritten letter asking him to take them to Shenzhen, this guy still looked at Wan Feng with contempt for a long time.
Zhang Chunlei is eighteen years old. Looking at his twisted nose and crooked mouth, he looks very hopeless.
I didn't provoke you. What does it mean that you look at me with such hatred?
Wan Feng strongly suspected that this guy was not Lao Zhang's child. Lao Zhang looked like a good guy, so how could he give birth to such a bad kid?
"Isn't it you who once said on the phone that I was speaking bird language?" What surprised Wan Feng was that this guy actually asked such a question.
"Haha, I didn't expect you still remembered this. How did you know it was me?"
"I can remember your voice after hearing it once."
"Fuck! Why are you memorizing my voice? Are you looking for revenge? I only said a few words about you, I didn't say anything else. You're not going to hit me, are you?"
This guy doesn't seem to be very mean. He's holding a grudge?
"If you don't let me take you to Shenzhen, I won't beat you!"
This guy really has this idea.
"That's impossible. Your father volunteered to take us to Shenzhen. You can't get away with it this time. Besides, it's not a big deal to just lead us to Shenzhen, right? I'm not asking you to sneak us across to Xianggang."
"Because you said I speak bird language, I don't like to take you with me."
What kind of excuse is that? Do you expect me to apologize to you? Even I don't dare to have such an idea.
Since this guy doesn't want to go to Wanfeng, I don't plan to force him.
"If you really don't want to go, I won't force you. We can find a place ourselves. It just takes a little more time."
"You have to go! Your dad has been asking you to take him with you. He said that if you don't go, you won't be given any pocket money for a year from now on."
This trick was very effective. Zhang Chunlei was so angry that he immediately lost his temper. Then he looked at Wan Feng with hatred for a long time.
This guy really needs to be punished.
"You'd better not have any bad intentions towards me. If you make me angry, I will sell you to the south and take you around with me."
This place called Datan Village looks pretty good, at least the scenery is very nice.
When the thaw began in many places in the north, the mountains and rivers were already green.
Although the temperature is much higher than in the north, it gives people a cold feeling in their hearts.
Zhang Shiqian always wanted Wan Feng to set up a branch factory in the south, and Wan Feng thought this place was a good choice.
This is the place where the famous urban cluster in Dongguan Province is most concentrated, and Dongguan is located in the center of this urban cluster.
To the west and northwest of here are Guangzhou, Foshan and Zhaoqing, to the east are Huizhou and Shanwei, and further away is Heyuan.
To the south is Shenzhen, Xianggang, and to the northwest is Macau.
If we build a motorcycle branch factory here, our products can be distributed to these cities, and even to Fujian, Xiguang and Nanhai Island.
Wan Feng took Han Guangjia around the Datan Village Committee and really took a fancy to a place.
It was a hill with a sci-fi feel, somewhat similar to the shadows of those mountains under karst landforms.
There is a provincial-level highway passing in front of the mountain, which provides convenient transportation and quiet terrain.
If I really set up a factory here, this place would be nice.
While observing the terrain here, Wan Feng also tried to communicate with Zhang Chunlei, but he didn't expect that this guy was a dead donkey and ignored Wan Feng.
Seventeen or eighteen years old is the age when people are rebellious and ignorant of the immensity of the world. A large number of online trolls in later generations are of this age.
I act like I have the talent to save the world but no one appreciates it. In fact, I have suffered from the second-year syndrome. It is a disease, but there is really no effective prescription to cure it in a short time except asking for a beating.
Wan Feng arrived at Zhang Shiqian's house at around eight o'clock in the morning and left at half past nine.
Zhang Chunlei was probably worried about his own safety, so he found someone to keep him company.
"Zhang Chunlei, since you've found a companion, I have to tell you in advance that if he gets into any trouble outside, we will not be responsible."
Although southerners tend to talk more than they act, it doesn't mean they don't act. Shenzhen was not a peaceful place in the early days of its opening up.
As an immigrant city, it is a mixed crowd of all kinds of people.
It's not impossible to say something.
If Zhang Chunlei got into any trouble, Wan Feng would be responsible for handling it, but he would not be so stupid as to ask Qiezi for help in dealing with some messy things as this extra guy.
"Don't worry about it. If anything happens, we will handle it ourselves." Zhang Chunlei replied to Wan Feng stiffly.
That's good. Wan Feng doesn't know this person, and anyone who can hang out with Zhang Chunlei is not a good person. It's better to make some things clear first.
Don't get yourself into trouble.
"Do you have a pass?"
From the mid-to-late 1980s to the entire 1990s, Shenzhen established a second-line customs, and a border pass was required to enter and exit Shenzhen.
Those with a pass can enter, those without a pass will be deported, and if you are caught without a pass in the second line of customs, you will be sent to Zhangmutou for reform.
Wan Feng's home used to be on the Huasu border in Heilongjiang. He was very familiar with the border pass when entering and leaving, and he had applied for it when he came.
He didn't want to get into any trouble here because of his ID.
After Wan Feng said this, Zhang Chunlei remembered that they had not yet applied for a pass.
I know that apart from a head full of angry youth thoughts, they have nothing but fodder in their stomachs.
At this time, Wan Feng thought of a question: Is it really a good idea to let this guy lead the way?
Why do I always feel that things will go more smoothly without Zhang Chunlei?
With this thing, you might encounter some unfortunate things.
