Chapter 349: Karamay
In the 90s, public transportation, especially inter-provincial travel, was the main mode of transportation on the train.
It's not that Yang Jianzhong doesn't want to spend money to take the bus, but it's too difficult.
If you want to take the new reined train, it is a handful of bitter tears, full of absurd words, the speed is slow, the journey is long, often thousands of kilometers, in August and September every year, millions of cotton pickers enter the new rein, even the hardships as usual as eating, the mention of the train also have to shiver.
Many people get on the bus and go under the seats, but it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out, and they have to eat, drink, and Lazar can only be under the seat.
In the aisles, toilets, luggage racks, it can be said that there is no penetration.
When a train comes down, if you don't die, you have to shed a layer of skin.
There are also most people who don't buy tickets at all, and if they want to be a fallen master, they have to practice the ability to climb the train, and they have to fight wits and courage with the ticket checker.
Do you think it's better to get to Urumqi, wrong, this is precisely the beginning of the ordeal.
From southern Xinjiang to northern Xinjiang, it is equivalent to crossing Zhejiang, Anhui, and Henan, which is a distance between three provinces.
However, the transportation capacity is extremely tight, coinciding with the recruitment season of the Construction Corps in May, and those trains are all wrapped in the whole car of the Corps, and there is no way to take the bus.
On the contrary, trucks carrying coal and sulfur fertilizers are a good choice.
As long as you can find a way, it is best to find a train such as fertilizer or grain, 400 kilometers, prepare enough dry food, and sleep comfortably for two days.
But it's not easy to find a good guide.
With Fan Yang's many powerful people, money in his pocket, and someone to take care of everything, Yang Jianzhong was alone, and soon experienced the bitterness and bitterness of the lowest level of society.
What was a train station like in the 90s?
Dragons and snakes are mixed.
No one dared to swagger across the square with a pair of gold earrings.
Groups of street children, like mad dogs on the hillside, carrying a plastic bag, the train has not yet stopped, with the skills of railway guerrillas, flipping into the train and snatching mineral water bottles.
These homeless children are all masters of climbing trains, and they can clear all routes and help carry bags.
Soon, Yang Jianzhong found a Uyghur child, named Erken, 14 years old, with a small flower hat, agreed to 30 yuan, and accompanied him to climb to Karamay.
Erken is young, thin as a little chicken, but he is an old man, he doesn't know a single big character, but he speaks fluent Chinese, he helped the family herd sheep at the age of three, and was abducted to the train station to ask for food at the age of 7.
Yang Jianzhong saw his sloppy appearance, took him to eat a bowl of sour soup dumplings, and made him die, helping to carry the big bag, and the two embarked on the journey to Karamay.
I originally planned to travel for two days, but because I climbed the wrong car, I got in the opposite direction when I changed cars halfway, and I originally arrived in Shihezi, but two days later, I actually returned to Urumqi the same way.
made Yang Jianzhong so angry that he was smoking, and beat him up.
The two of them couldn't, so they had to do it all over again, and after four days, they finally arrived in Karamay.
Along the way, the two of them finished eating dry food, went to other people's fields to steal buds, dug sweet potatoes, collected firewood at the railway station in the middle of the night to make a fire, covered a blanket at night, and climbed on the train to shout in the wind, but they established some feelings.
When they got to the ground, it was time to separate, but they found that Elken's eyes were red and he looked reluctant.
Yang Jianzhong took out the 30 yuan he had made an appointment, and he also felt funny: "You bastard, what did you say when you came?"
"I, what did I say? ”
"Forget it, you little bastard. ”
Holding three 10 yuan bills, he took off Elken's small flower hat, put the money in the hat and buttoned it up: "Take the money and go home, don't wave outside, what's good outside, is it comfortable to be full and hungry?"
Pick up three large bags and turn around and leave.
Two packages of goods, one package of household utensils, and the weight originally shared by the two of them was all pressed on their shoulders, which made Yang Jianzhong walk with great difficulty.
Suddenly, there was a light on his hand, Erken was a child after all, although he was beaten by Yang Jianzhong, and a few five-paw prints appeared on his face, but after all, he was a child.
Six days of tribulation made him dependent, and Yang Jianzhong treated him well, the two of them ate half a catty of beef ramen in Shihezi, and added two yuan of beef.
There was no shortage of smoke along the way.
Elken stubbornly held on to his bag.
Yang Jianzhong was helpless, so he was glued to him.
Karamay is a complete industrial city, and its industrial pattern is unparalleled in the country, and it is a city built on the Gobi Desert.
It is located in the second largest desert in Xinyan, on a Gobi desert in the eastern part of the Bantungus Desert.
In 1955, an old man who herded sheep pushed a cart of sheep dung and got lost in the Gobi Desert, and accidentally found a hill with boiling black oil, reported to the country, and found the Dushanzi Qianli oil field, with reserves of hundreds of millions of tons.
The oil field was developed for decades, and a city was established on the Gobi Desert.
It has a petroleum and petrochemical industry chain second only to Daqing Oilfield, with more than 100,000 oil workers.
Except for oil, there is a shortage of almost everything, whether it is vegetables or fruits, cloth or clothing, all materials are imported, and the prices are very high.
After decades of precipitation, the oil workers living in Karamay have raised the second generation, and those young people are very fond of fashionable things, a pair of sunglasses with a purchase price of 3 yuan can be sold for 10 yuan, and socks are sold out on the first day.
Yang Jianzhong regretted it, and the goods should be more bold.
He set up a stall in front of the factory for this batch of goods, and it only took two days to sell out, with more than 4,000 yuan on him.
Seeing the profits, Elken is not so annoying, and it is good to have a follower.
When you go to Karamay, you are not far from the border.
Founded in 1958, it has become another trade distribution center in the Gobi region of northern Xinjiang and the Altai region for decades.
The circulation of goods is also frequent.
After making money, Yang Jianzhong was not in a hurry to leave, and took Erken everywhere to look for new business opportunities.
Soon, another project came into his sights, selling furs.
Here, at the same time, he learned about the border trade at the ports of Alashankou, Kashgar, Ataile and Khorgos.
Another discovery made him even more ecstatic, there are often some herdsmen in the market in Karamay, who come to sell scattered Tibetan antelopes and goose monkey antelopes with their furs.
As long as it is transported to the major border ports, it can be sold at a good price.
Poor Yang Jianzhong, he didn't even know that this was a poaching offense.
smashed his whole net worth into it.
