The steamers of Wenzhou in this era were not easy to ride.

"Walking all over the world, I am most afraid of Wenzhoudu!"

Before the 90s, many passenger terminals were the starting point of Wenzhou people's journeys, especially Wenzhou Anlan Wharf, which was crowded with people every year.

It's the off-season, but it's also a very good season in the future.

Lots of people.

Much scary.

The whole people of Wenzhou do business.

The myth of Wenzhou's rise to wealth and the creation of the Wenzhou model in China rely on these people.

These people are not amazing, these people have no culture, but these people are surprisingly bold and daring, they let Wenzhou, a city with barren land, small area and remote location, infinitely enlarge on the economic map of China with undoubted speed and strength, and survive in the disadvantage of few preferential policies.

It was these people who made their way from the backwater road of the docks!

……

As an economics teacher, Li Jun naturally knows that these fellow villagers are a group of people who run counter to "knowledge is power".

Because they are completely opposite to their own highly educated people, most people in Wenzhou go to the sea with mud legs, and have nothing to do with highly educated and returnees, and most of the background colors of businessmen are rendered as "peasants" and "small businessmen and hawkers"; when the policy holds up the protective umbrella, they are rarely protected and are often marginalized; when they brake sharply, they are the eyes of the storm, bearing the ideological pressure of all sides, and they are the living targets of all those who criticize and write.

However, it is this group of people, in Wenzhou, who is slappy, wearing the hat of "poor resource endowment", with a completely weak attitude, creating the myth of wealth, which has become a paradox in the economic proposition.

Each of them is now inspired by this era, with an ignorant attitude, blankly or consciously embarking on the road of individual industrial and commercial households, accumulating original capital......

This was supposed to be a top-down reform, and it spontaneously evolved into an unprecedented economic movement in Wenzhou, which was composed of countless personal struggles.

These Wenzhou grassroots people, they are down-to-earth, with simple thoughts, concepts and behaviors, intentionally or unintentionally promote the change of business models, and devote themselves to the ranks of the pioneers of civil reform who have created a myriad of atmospheres.

Of course, this is still proud of the fact that if there is no macro background of reform and opening up, any economic ideal sworn in the name of the region can only be stillborn.

But there is no doubt that the courage of Wenzhou people in this era, going south and north to do business and dumping goods, family workshops are beyond the reach of any city.

Although in the past, there were people in Wenzhou who sold shrimp skin on the street, and they were caught by industrial and commercial personnel, and they were desperate and committed suicide by jumping into Jiushan Lake. There are also people who sell crabs, who were stunned on the spot by the whistle of the industrial and commercial personnel, and after being sent to the hospital for rescue, they failed to wake up. Another professional duck farmer saw that a cadre came to petition and thought that he was going to cut off the "tail of capitalism", so he trembled with fright and hurriedly declared: "I don't dare to raise it in the future." ”

But they still raised it, ushering in the reform and opening up in 1978.

The pace of reform and opening up in the early 10 years was very small, and public ownership and state ownership were still the mainstay, and private ownership was still capitalism.

Then the eight kings of Wenzhou fell, the eight kings, the hardware king Hu Jinlin, the mining lamp king Cheng Buqing, the screw king Liu Dayuan, the contract king Li Fangping, the thrift king Wang Maiqian, the catalog king Ye Jianhua, the coil king Zheng Xiangqing and the electrical king Zheng Yuanzhong, with the "crime of speculation" to arrest their group of people who are walking in the "limelight" of the market economy.

But so what, if you want to survive, if you want to make money, you have to fill your stomach, and then thousands of Wenzhou kings rose up again.

Today is cruel, tomorrow is cruel, but the day after tomorrow is bright.

Killing chickens and monkeys can't cut off the idea of Wenzhou people to innovate and make money.

In this era, the ups and downs of Wenzhou's reckless characters promoted Wenzhou's economy to move forward vigorously and became the richest and first rich group of people in China.

Later generations will not forget them, and people will not forget them, the pioneers who once worked hard and wise! They are regarded as heroes by future generations!

Because among the hundreds of millions of people who have been oppressed by the dual bondage of material and spiritual for decades, someone must stand up. It can be a single person or a group of people, but they must have the courage to take a desperate shot, the resilience to break out of the cocoon, and the passion to boil the blood.

Now these Wenzhou people are just such a group of people, in other parts of China are still talking about the chatter and stagnant arguments of the information and discussion society, they are desperate, and the bold world is already in full swing!

When Li Jun came to the pier to buy a ferry ticket.

The taxi stopped near the pier, and Li Jun looked at the long line and could only follow honestly.

In this era, people and peasants in other cities either stayed at home on one-third of an acre of land, and the workers honestly worked in state-owned enterprises, and they were indeed frantically flocking to the whole world with their own business.

The team moved forward slowly.

The queue was like this for five hours.

The price of the next ticket to Shanghai is written on the small blackboard of the ticket sold at the pier: There are three kinds of tickets sold to Shanghai by Democracy Cruise.

One is a soft seat, which is equivalent to a soft sleeper in later generations, and the price is the most expensive, selling for 120 yuan a piece, which is a month's salary for workers in state-owned enterprises.

The second type is a hard seat, which is equivalent to a hard sleeper on the train, and the ticket price is 80 yuan a piece.

The third is the cabin, which is equivalent to the grade of the hard seat on the train, and the ticket price is 20 yuan a ticket.

Li Jun now took three hundred cash in his pocket, and he was about to make a lot of money when he was a sinner, and there was no need to save so much money, he was bent on buying a ticket in the soft seat cabin.

The democratic steamer, Li Jun has always remembered this big ship, it is the memory of a generation of Wenzhou people, it was a very advanced steamship at that time, there are restaurants, commissaries, medical rooms and other supporting facilities, and the cabin also has heating and ventilation equipment.

Later generations of democratic steamers were abandoned by the times, and Wenzhou high-speed railway, bullet trains, high-speed roads, and high-speed development.

The ship of democracy is out of service, and it can only exist in the memory of a generation in Wenzhou.

The ticketing lady of later generations is now a ticketing aunt, she shouted fiercely with a loudspeaker: "Don't squeeze the back, if you squeeze it again, I won't sell it, and I'm going to kill you!"

The ticket sales lady of later generations is beautiful, enthusiastic, kind and full of smiles, where she is so rude as the current state-owned ticket sales aunt.

It's so ungentle.

Finally it was his turn, Li Jun said to the window, "Buy a soft seat ticket to Huhai!"

"Sold out!

"Then buy a hard seat ticket!"

"No, there are only unified tickets, and tomorrow's only unified cabin tickets, do you buy them? The ticket sales aunt said impatiently.

"I'll buy it!"

Li Jun finished paying and frowned a little.

The cabin, which is densely packed with people sitting together, can't stretch their hands and feet, holding so many treasury bills, will there be pickpockets targeting them at that time.

This is not like the surveillance everywhere in later generations, and in this era, pickpockets are rampant in crowded places.

But there is only a ticket for the cabin, so you can only be careful.
