In this era, there were few other options for crossing Qiong from the mainland, only ferries. The next day, Li Yadong and the others went to the bus station to take the bus, and it took more than five hours to get to Zhanjiang, and the first thing to do after getting off the bus was to buy a ticket and buy Xu Wen's bus ticket.

I solved a simple meal in the food stall next to the station, and then continued to wander for four or five hours, and finally arrived at Xu Wen. At this time, it was already afternoon, but fortunately, there was still the last ferry at Xuwen Hai'an Port.

Hai'an Port is an important hub between the mainland and Hailan, and the southernmost port in China, which is of strategic importance. Supplies from all over the country are transported from Hai'an Port to Hailan, and all kinds of products from Hailan are also continuously shipped out from here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a waterway of life.

After arriving at Hai'an Port, Li Yadong and Jiang Tengfei seemed to be a completely new world in front of them, with brand-new cars everywhere in the huge port, parked in the open space of the port, and unloaded from the port ferry.

In this era when cars are still absolutely precious objects and are not common on the road, there are suddenly hundreds of cars piled up in front of him, and the shock is incomprehensible, Jiang Tengfei's eyes are straight.

"Oh my God, Brother Dong, there are so many cars, isn't there a car factory on Hailan Island?"

"There's a yarn, not even a bike factory. ”

Li Yadong seems to be calm, but in fact, he is somewhat shocked in his heart, the matter of Hailan smuggling cars is like thunder in this era, but few people have really seen it.

It is said that one day this year, a US satellite discovered that the situation in China was abnormal -- the island suddenly became white, and when you look closer, it is actually the metal reflection of automobiles, which is all over the mountains and fields, and there are tens of thousands of vehicles! US spy experts cannot analyze it thoroughly: What does a poor island need so many cars for?

And now Jiang Tengfei also has similar doubts, "Brother Dong, isn't it worth tens of thousands of cars, can they be sold so much?"

"You think everyone is as poor as you?"

Li Yadong glanced at him angrily, pointed to a "special ship" coming from the sea, and said, "If it can't be sold, what do you think they are doing?"

"I'm ...... What kind of ship is this?" Since the ship was still a little far away from the port, Jiang Tengfei took a closer look and suddenly found that there was a cannon barrel on the "big ship", and he was not only startled.

"Warship. Li Yadong replied in a deep voice.

The use of warships to reverse the car, this is unimaginable in the future, but it is real in these years, Li Yadong only heard about it before, but he didn't expect to see it today.

In a word, the poor are afraid.

It is said that the navy will use warships to replace all the cars with military license plates in the name of defense, and after unloading the ships in Zhanjiang, the military license plates will be removed, and the second batch will be transported back to Hailan.

"My good man, the car is so popular that even the army is red-eyed?" Jiang Tengfei was dumbfounded.

"That's not true, they are also under the orders of others, the main local government is too poor, and they probably know that this matter cannot last long, so they have stepped up their efforts to make this decision. ”

"Oh. Jiang Tengfei was terrified when he heard this, and like most people in this era, he was full of awe of the word "army".

At this time, the majesty of the army is far from being comparable in the future, and the automatic counterattack against Vietnam did not end until 79 years, and a total of 200,000 soldiers in our country participated in it, which is a group of people who have really received the baptism of bullets and bullets.

The ferry has already played the flute, the two of them did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly got on the boat, because it was the last shift, so there were not many guests on the boat.

Since getting on the boat, Jiang Tengfei has not said a word, his face is a little pale, Li Yadong took out the military kettle from his bag and handed it to him, knowing that this is seasickness. The first time the person on the boat had some adverse reactions, and his condition was relatively good, at least he didn't vomit.

The sea is very blue, Li Yadong once spent some time in a prefecture-level city in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the water quality of the South China Sea and the East China Sea is obviously different.

The ferry was very slow, the speed was only a few knots, and many first-time guests lay on the railing and looked down, full of curiosity about the vast seabed, but unfortunately they could see nothing but the white spray of the whirlwind on the side of the ship.

This is the longest steamer Li Yadong has ever taken, sailing for more than two hours, Rao is him, his stomach is a little overturned, Jiang Tengfei did not vomit is really a miracle.

Eventually, before dark, the ferry arrived at Xiuying Harbor, the northernmost side of Hailan Island, and the southernmost opposite of it was Sanya, which would become famous all over the world, but at this time it was only a small fishing port.

Li Yadong was thinking at this time, although he didn't have the idea of hoarding and speculating in houses, but if he went to Sanya Bay or Wuzhizhou Island to buy a piece of land in this era, and built a beach villa or something to live in in the future, it would be a good idea.

Then it is really facing the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming.

There will probably be no shortage of cars on Hailan Island, there are always a lot of business-minded people, this time point is outside the port, and the two of them can easily find a rental, but when they negotiate the price, the driver is a little dark.

"Go to Haikou City, this black light is blinding, the road is a little far......"

The driver was a middle-aged man with a big belly, and after looking at Li Yadong and the others, he knew that this was the boss who came from the mainland to buy a car, so he squinted his eyes and said: "I have to give foreign exchange, and fifty US dollars will be sent to the place." ”

"Why don't you grab it?"

Jiang Tengfei was angry on the spot, he had heard Li Yadong say before, it was only more than 20 kilometers away, and it would only cost more than ten yuan to die in a crown car in the capital, this guy is good, he dared to ask for fifty dollars for a broken bread that was about to fall apart.

"Too expensive? "The driver is obviously an old fritter, not afraid to scare away the guests, he knows very well about the bosses who came to buy cars from the mainland, and he also made an old leather bag to hang around his neck, which obviously contained money, seeing that it was about to get dark, dare to spend the night in this rural place?

Li Yadong really didn't dare, when he went out, he still had to be cautious.

"That's it, master, twenty dollars, we don't have much foreign exchange. Li Yadong pulled the puffing Jiang Tengfei and said with a light smile.

The driver frowned and said, "No, at least forty!"

"Thirty. ”

"Eh, I said that you rich people, buy a car for tens of thousands of yuan without blinking your eyes, why do you just take a taxi......"

The driver beckoned them to get into the car with a gloomy face, mainly because he was not sure how much foreign exchange these two people had, if he knew that the old leather bag he had noticed a long time ago was all there, it was estimated that there would be no one less.
