Chapter 5 Renting and Business Opportunities

In 1995, the average monthly salary of Chinese was less than 500 yuan, and 2,000 yuan was almost the income of ordinary wage earners for 4 months, which was not a small amount of wealth. He is a very nostalgic person, before the crossing, he studied in Yunnan University for 3 years, 4 years of undergraduate and 3 years of graduate school, a total of almost 10 years, he is familiar with the surrounding environment, and has a sense of psychological intimacy.

It is said to be familiar, but in fact it is not familiar, because in 2016, the vicinity of Yuncheng University was developed into a prosperous business district by major real estate companies, with high-rise buildings, busy traffic, full of modern urban atmosphere, and in 1995, it was still far from the edge of the city center, with sparse buildings, potholes, and even farmland and vegetable gardens nearby.

In the era of planned economy, in order to take advantage of the scientific research capabilities of Yunda, the university built many small factories, such as daily chemical plants, building materials factories, Machinery factories and so on, in order to settle workers, and built several residential quarters near the campus, most of them are three or four storey small buildings, in 1995, these factories went bankrupt, closed down, workers have found another way out, some went south to work, some changed people, sublet the vacated houses to school students, the rent is very cheap, small dozens of yuan, large one or two hundred, and in 2016, the same area, the rent will be at least twenty or thirty times......

After Du Qiu looked at a few listings, he rented a house with a kitchen in the dormitory building of the hardware factory, the area was about the same as that of the Su brothers and sisters, but there was no balcony, and the windows were equipped with iron bars, which was relatively safe, and he spent an afternoon cleaning the room, purchasing supplies, and beautifying the environment, until about 6 o'clock in the evening, he finally had a barely made do with a place to live.

"Ok! The survival problem is solved, and the next question is the identity problem. ”

However, the issue of identity is simple and simple, but it is difficult to say, very troublesome, and headaches.

The simple reason is that in 1995, information technology was not developed enough, there was no second-generation ID card, there was no online query system, and the household registration management was very chaotic.

The difficulty is that there is a big loophole in doing so, that is, there are no normal human relationships such as parents, friends, classmates, etc., and there is no school status, certificates, Archives and other necessary life resumes of normal people, these loopholes do not matter to ordinary people, no one pays attention to them anyway, but for Du Qiu, a crossing party with two major artifacts of laptops and smartphones, it is very important, because he is destined to live in obscurity, and once he becomes famous and famous all over the world, all kinds of media flock to it, and the loopholes of a blank social and resume will be infinitely magnified.

It's okay if it's a liberal arts student, anyway, you can talk about it blindly, but Du Qiu is a science student, although he was only a graduate student who had not graduated before the crossing, but the IT industry in 2016 was not the same as in 1995, with the help of computers and mobile phones, he could easily become a world-class technology bull, so the problem came: before 1995, except for a few universities and scientific research institutions in China, all the rest of the places could not access the Internet, and the home computer with low performance and no Internet access could not be used to tinker with high-level programming technology and network technology, a young man who had neither read nor gone to class, where did such a strong ability come from?

The origin is unknown, the ability is extraordinary, how to explain? Is it aliens or mutants? Is it controlled and used, or is it dissected and studied?

Never underestimate the greed of capitalists and the madness of scientists......

Du Qiu already had a rough plan to solve the identity problem, but he hadn't thought of the specific operation steps yet, so he didn't rush into action, he cut the ID card and bank card in his wallet into pieces, and threw them into three different trash cans along with the fifth set of RMB burned to ashes, and then took the laptop apart and divided it into three parts, the main computer was packed in a cardboard box, taped to the bed board under the bed, the memory was placed in an iron biscuit box, hidden in the kitchen cupboard, and the SSD was carried around in a backpack, and the rest was like batteries, mice, power adapters and the like are hidden in the closet.

The hard disk and memory in 1995 are not compatible with the motherboard interface in 2016, as long as one of these three things is still there, the other two cannot be used even if they are stolen, and the reason why they carry the hard disk with them is because the information stored in it is far more important than the computer itself, and it is not safe to take it with you, after everything is arranged, Du Qiu picked up his backpack and left the room, ready to go to dinner.

As the provincial capital and science and education center of Sanjiang Province, Yuncheng has several universities, each with its own characteristics, such as "love in the Normal University", "play in the Provincial University" and so on, Yunda is famous for eating, not only the level of the canteen is better than other schools, there are also many restaurants and vendors outside the school, Du Qiu walked around the food street near the West Gate for a while, and saw a restaurant called "Graceland Restaurant" The small restaurant, which was still there in 2016, but with a larger faΓ§ade and better decoration, he walked in with interest, and was about to order, but heard someone shouting behind him: "Hey, buddy, Du Qiu, this way." ”

No way......

There are only two people in the world who know my name, and I met ......

Du Qiu turned his head and looked, sure enough, it was Su Wenhai, he was sitting in the corner with a girl in a sweater, with a bottle of drink and two plates of cold dishes in front of him, it seemed that he had just arrived, so he walked over and greeted: "Brother Hai, such a coincidence." ”

"Although I changed my clothes, it was very different from the morning, but I knew it was you as soon as I looked at the backpack, your bag looked a little weird, and the whole Yunda was unique. Su Wenhai stood up and patted him enthusiastically, and then introduced with a smile: "This is my girlfriend, Wang Huihui." Huihui, this is the Du Qiu I just told you, he is a master of electronic circuits, he knows everything, and he is amazing!"

Wang Huihui has a round face, big eyes, and good looks, but her figure is a little worse, short and chubby, her expression is a little cold, she just pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled as a greeting, Su Wenhai pushed away the chair next to her and asked Du Qiu to sit, and at the same time beckoned the waiter to bring the menu over, and invited: "It's better to meet by chance, sit down and eat together, I'll treat you." ”

Du Qiu is not a little virgin who has never been in love, he can see at a glance that the atmosphere is not right, these two are having a conflict, how can they be interested in wading into troubled waters as a light bulb, and hurriedly shirked and said: "It's desolate enough to eat alone on New Year's Day, do you want me to sit here and watch the two of you show affection? Brother Hai, the two of us have no grievances, don't be so cruel, let's get together again next time." ”

Wang Huihui saw that he was very knowledgeable and funny, so she couldn't help laughing, this time her smile was much more natural, and she looked up and asked, "Are you from the Yunda Department of Electronics?"

"No, I'm a person with a lot of interests, and I like to tinker with everything. Don't bother the two of you, I'll go over there to eat. ”

Su Wenhai saw that Du Qiu insisted on leaving, so he said: "Are the things you wrote last night still in your bag? Borrow me to take it back and copy it, I don't have a good memory, I'm afraid I'll forget it in a few days." ”

Du Qiu opened his backpack, took out a notepad, tore off a dozen sketches he had drawn last night and handed them to him, and said, "Actually, these library textbooks are all there, and they are more detailed than what I wrote. ”

"Textbook Rory is so long-winded, I have a headache when I look at it, and I can't explain it clearly as you. Su Wenhai thanked him, solemnly folded the sketch and stuffed it into the pocket on the inside of his clothes, and then said excitedly: "Do you know how many things I repaired this afternoon? There are three TVs plus two VCRs! More than I repaired in a week before, no matter what the problem is, you can find the fault point at a glance......

Wang Huihui was very unhappy with Su Wenhai's display, frowned and interrupted him, and asked, "Du Qiu, your book is so beautiful, where did you buy it?"

"Huihui didn't mention it, I almost forgot, and my little sister also told me in the morning that your notepad is very good, and you want to buy the same one. ”

Du Qiu used a handmade travel notepad, sewn with a special washable kraft paper, both the elegance of the leather, and the simplicity of the paper, it looks very eye-catching, this book is the same as the backpack, it was sent by a friend who was engaged in creative design before the crossing, he didn't think much about it, and said casually: "I made it myself, there is no place to sell." ”

"You did it yourself?" Wang Huihui was a little surprised, stretched out her hand and said, "Can you show me?"

The cover and inner core of the notepad are separated, fixed together with a rope, and the paper can be changed at any time as needed, Du Qiu just changed it before crossing, and only a few pages of reading notes were written in it, all about mathematics, and there was nothing to hide, so he handed it over very generously, Wang Huihui looked at it, and was even more surprised, and said: "This material is so strange, it is actually paper, I thought it was leather." ”

"Leather is too expensive to afford. ”

"The design is really unique, the rope can be used as a bookmark, which is very convenient to use...... You wrote this word? It's so beautiful, it can be used as a copybook. After playing for a while, Wang Huihui asked, "Where is this kind of paper for covering?" ”

"It seems to be imported, and that's all I got from a friend. ”

Wang Huihui sighed softly, held up the notepad in front of Su Wenhai, and asked reluctantly: "Is there any such paper in the school printing house?"

She only talked to Du Qiu before, and ignored Su Wenhai at all, obviously engaged in a cold war, and now she took the initiative to ask, which can be regarded as raising the flag and surrendering, Su Wenhai was very proud, and said with a smile: "This is the paper used to make labels for jeans, not for printing, there is no one in the factory, if you are obedient and obedient in the future, if you don't make trouble, I may have a way to get some." ”

In 1995, there were no mobile phones or tablets, and almost everyone in the university had to use paper and pen every day, so notepads were in great demand......

This notepad was originally designed by the Japanese company Midori's Traveler'sNotebook, which was launched in 2005 and became popular all over the world, selling more than one million ......

Du Qiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration at this time, and thought of a way to make a living, so he ignored the scenery and hurriedly asked, "Brother Hai knows where to sell?"

"I've been a buyer in my school's printing house for almost 10 years, and there's no paper in the world that I can't buy. ”

"Then Brother Hai, can you help me get some back?" Du Qiu pointed to the notepad and explained with a smile: "I have nothing to do recently, since Mr. Su and Sister Huihui both think this book is good, it is better to make a few more and sell them to earn some pocket money." ”

Wang Huihui's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed: "Good idea, if the price is not expensive, I dare to guarantee that many people will buy it." ”

Now that the Cold War has been broken, there is nothing to be awkward, she glanced at Su Wenhai very femininely, and greeted Du Qiu with a smile: "I have nothing to do with this person, just ordinary friends, you don't have to worry about being a light bulb, sit down and eat together, he has earned a lot of extra money today, he has to slaughter it well!"
