Chapter 726: Terrible Traffic
"Why do you have three people sitting side by side, even if it's a small baby, you can't occupy an empty seat, how awkward it is to sit in the middle. ”
Lin Musen muttered in his mouth, but this voice could not be heard by others.
Luckily, his seat was on the other side of the two rows of seats. Since you are not located online, but buy tickets on the spot, you do not have the right to choose your own seat.
At the moment of buying tickets, Lin Musen didn't even think about it, only thought that it was best to buy a ticket, and asked for a first-class ticket, no, it had already been sold out, so he had to go to the second-class seat.
But even the second-class seats are not bad, at least compared to their trains. Even if it is more novel than the Ziqiang of Dayuan Island, the trains of the Dayuan Railway are basically too old except for the Taroko, and many cars may have reached their service years, after all, the train loses money every year, unlike the mainland's usage rate.
Almost every train is full.
Lin Musen has never done an ordinary train, and he doesn't know that there are still people on ordinary trains who advertise and pull business, and no one even comes to take care of them.
They don't know whether they bought tickets to get on the train, or were secretly put in by the station staff, but looking at the way they have a place, they should buy tickets!
Although Lin Musen had never sat in person, he had heard some from other villagers, after all, the way of life in the mainland was still relatively new to him.
After listening to everything, Lin Musen came to a conclusion, there are many people on the mainland, but where many people are crowded together, crowded places will produce very terrible phenomena.
It is difficult to do public construction in places with few people, and public construction in places with many people will be greatly damaged, even if these people are used properly, but after many people have taken it, a good floor will be trampled on.
Therefore, some large cities tend to have a bright exterior, but when you go inside, you will find that their corners are full of dilapidated traces. Especially in public places, maintenance is too hard.
And because there are so many people, there may be a lot of competitors if they want to get into the ideal school in their minds. This competitive pressure is extremely terrifying, consider that this place is home to one-fifth of the world's population.
Many children born to this fifth of the population have to work hard to get into the prestigious schools they want.
Consider that there are about 200,000 people in the same grade every year on Dayuan Island, and the number of students enrolled in Dayuan University is 10,000 every year, accounting for half of the public universities. The acceptance rate of 1/20 is really not low.
For the children on the mainland, he competes with him every year, and the number of people who grow up is more than 10 million, according to Lin Musen's estimates, there are about 15 million people.
Unless you want to empty yourself and don't want to strive for the top, under this pressure to get ahead, in a place like Yangcheng, Shanghai, Beijing, it is too difficult to travel freely, these cities have population control, and it is too difficult to buy a house in the city, and there are too many conditions.
Thousands of kilometers of distance, although the speed of the high-speed rail is very fast, but it is impossible to arrive instantly, even if the speed of the plane is only more than 800 kilometers per hour, and the speed of the high-speed rail is mostly more than 200 kilometers per hour when walking, and it will even reach less than 100 kilometers when it stops, compared to the speed of the train close to 100 kilometers, this speed is much faster, however, the distance of thousands of kilometers still has to take a long time.
In principle, high-speed trains do not run at night, and those that run at night are considered high-speed trains, which seem to be called EMUs.
Lin Musen doesn't know what the difference is between these kinds of cars, anyway, which place has a ticket, which place is faster, which car he will take.
Although the scenery outside is also very good-looking, but if you can't jump on the ground, you will gradually get tired of the scenery, because of a large distance, the scenery outside is about the same, not to mention that the time is close to winter, the trees in the north have withered, there is no green earth to see, only see the scenery of gray soil.
Lin Musen woke up like this, occasionally looked at the scenery outside to refresh himself, and then fell asleep unconsciously, sleeping on the high-speed rail, in fact, it is a very comfortable thing, but unfortunately the vehicle is too noisy, their control of children does not seem to be very good, I don't know how to teach children not to be noisy in public places.
When he arrived in Beijing, Lin Musen felt very tired, and suddenly thought that he had not even fallen to the ground to receive him.
After getting out of the high-speed train, Lin Musen didn't immediately follow the flow of people, there were too many people, so he simply took this opportunity to call Dong Wu: "Ask if you have anyone to receive in Beijing?"
"You're finally bubbling, Sheng Shuaijie said you're missing. ”
"Uh......" Lin Musen suddenly thought that he had taken the train all the way down, completely forgetting the existence of Sheng Shuaijie, and he didn't know if Sheng Shuaijie was in North Korea or South Korea, or if he had been smuggled to the mainland, and it didn't seem very easy to smuggle to the mainland.
"I forgot Sheng Shuaijie, where are the others?"
"He is now in the mainland, but his current status has not officially entered the country, that is, when he arrives in the mainland, his phone call is only available. ”
“……”
Lin Musen had no choice, since Sheng Shuaijie had a way to enter and exit the border freely, Lin Musen provided his own method and asked Zou Chengnan to help book high-speed rail tickets.
"You ask Sheng Shuaijie to tell me the ID number provided by his mainland, otherwise I won't be able to help him book a ticket, after all, everything needs a real name in the mainland now. Otherwise, their scalpers are too rampant. ”
"I'll let Sheng Shuaijie contact you directly, it's relatively simple. ”
Lin Musen had no choice but to hang up the phone and dial Sheng Shuaijie again.
After this matter was settled, he noticed that the purpose of his call to Dong Wu was to see if anyone in Beijing would receive him, or to let him wander around alone.
When I meet people in the Department of Geography, many people think that they must be map experts, and they are very familiar with everything, so naturally there will be no such thing as a directional idiot.
But Lin Musen really hadn't studied the map of Beijing, and he knew that the exhibition was held near the Bird's Nest, but he really didn't have any idea how to get to the Bird's Nest.
Fortunately, after coming out of the train station, you can generally connect to the city's subway, and there will be a brief map at the entrance and exit of the city's subway or in the subway station.
Lin Musen quickly found the map, and found the point with the least number of transfers on the map.
In his impression, except for a few stations, the transfer is very troublesome, because when the subway first opened the line, there are not so many lines in the planning period, so if it is a temporary line, there is often no way to receive a good transfer point.
In recent years, Beijing has attracted people from all over China, so if Chinese people gather to live near Beijing, Beijing will become a very scary city.
The earliest construction of the Beijing subway was also very early, and there were some difficulties in connecting the old and new subways.
Lin Musen has also done the subway a few times, and he already knows that the subway in mainland cities is different from Dayuan Island, and he has to do a bag inspection when he enters, and even if he has special objects on his body, he may be left for search.
Lin Musen looked at the people coming in and out, his brows furrowed, there seemed to be a lot of people here, I don't know if the subway capacity will be very high, so he can't squeeze in.
Originally, Lin Musen wanted to help himself, but seeing so many people existing, he wanted to find Dong Wu to see if anyone would be responsible for taking him away, but he called, but he was very disappointed, Dong Wu in Beijing has not yet expanded his business, so his manpower has not been sent to Beijing, this time to participate in the exhibition of course not only Lin Musen alone, but they are all very busy people, so they did not come in advance, and will arrive at the scene on the same day, but Lin Musen must take these people to wander in Beijing.
The mainland is really very big, not everyone has the opportunity to visit every city, although Beijing, Shanghai and Yangcheng are more likely to be reached by mainlanders, and even some people will go to observe the crowd of people going to the airport, these people are the people trained by Dong Wu in the local area.
Expanding to other cities, Dong Wu will not send people from Dayuan Island again.
The people of Dayuan Island still do not know the mainland clearly enough, just like the mainlanders' understanding of Dayuan Island is so low that it is almost equal to no recognition.
Only natives will have a deeper understanding of the local people, and even different cities have different urban cultures, otherwise there would be no salty tofu brain eaten in the north, and the dumplings should be dipped in soy sauce to dip in brown sugar.
After Lin Musen entered the subway station, he didn't get on the subway, and walked out again, and after arriving at the bus stop, he regretted it again, there were too many people on the bus, and he couldn't get on.
In the past, when Lin Musen was an ordinary poor person, he didn't take the crowded bus.
In the end, Lin Musen decided to take a taxi, but someone always beckoned the car away in front of him.
In the end, Lin Musen recruited 30 points on the spot, but he didn't get a car, which made Lin Musen feel that Beijing is not a friendly city.
There was no way, he had to call Zou Chengnan and ask Zou Chengnan to find a way for himself.
"Where are you?"
"The high-speed rail station, my high-speed rail is coming down from the northeast. ”
Lin Musen knows that there are many stations in Beijing.
"I see, you wait five minutes, I'll call you back. ”
Five minutes later, Zou Chengnan called and reported the license plate number of the car that Lin Musen had come to pick him up, as well as the color and model of the car.
When everything was explained clearly, Zou Chengnan explained by the way: "I will help you book a hotel, it is near Dongzhimen Oriental Plaza, the name is XXXX, if you have any problems with check-in, call me at any time." ”
"Thank you Zou Chengnan, you are really amazing. ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do, if nothing happens you put down the phone and the car should be there. ”
Zou Chengnan's words are tantamount to telling Lin Musen to hang up the phone. He also has to be busy with the company's affairs.
It's a pity that Lin Musen never understands these twists and turns, he always hears the superficial meaning when he listens to others.
"It's not that fast, it's a traffic jam in Beijing right now!" Lin Musen looked at the nearby cars and felt that walking was faster than taking a car.
Lin Musen originally wanted to find a restaurant to replenish his strength.
Riding the train and standing hard, the car almost exhausted Lin Musen's strong physical strength, not to mention the environment that was not a lot of people, it was a kind of wear and tear on Lin Musen itself.
Lin Musen not only felt the loss of physical strength, but his mental power was also constantly being lost.
"Their company is at the high-speed rail station, and the parking lot is also at the high-speed rail station, so it doesn't take a few minutes from their parking lot to where you are.
In the future, if you are looking for a car in a big city in the mainland, it is best to find a hailing station to hail a car, don't take a black car on the side of the road, it's too dangerous, and now Sheng Shuaijie is not by your side, and your safety is not guaranteed. ”
"It's not that exaggerated, we don't have business here, we don't have investment, we don't have enemies, and we don't even have anyone who knows me!"
"Don't underestimate the influence of the Shuiling Fruit Company after it is made into a meal. Although Dong Wu is only doing takeaways, he now helps many people open small stoves, and he also has an influence because of his business. ”
"I didn't feel it, at least he didn't have anyone to greet me in Beijing. ”
That's because he understands your personality and prefers to be free and really let those people greet you, and you don't have a way to live your life freely. ”
Lin Musen also knew himself well, and he felt very embarrassed to hear Zou Chengnan's analysis like this.
It didn't take long for the car to come, and there were many people who wanted to say hello when they saw the car stop. Some people even thought it was a black car, and they wanted to go up to bargain, but fortunately, the other party recognized Lin Musen and let Lin Musen get into the car and drive away.
Lin Musen knows that such a company is also engaged in high-end industry transfers. It is estimated that people like them who live an easy life will have some discomfort when they return to the crowd, and if you want to stay away from the crowd, your cost of living will increase.
After entering the hotel, you can see that this hotel is not very new, but the decoration is very elegant, even if it is an old place, you can see a beautiful texture.
After Lin Musen completed the check-in procedures, he entered the room. After answering Sheng Shuaijie's call, Sheng Shuaijie explained everything, asking Lin Musen not to walk around alone, once something happened to Lin Musen, it would be difficult to explain to him and his teacher, if Lin Musen still wants to have free space in the future, don't just throw him away.
Lin Musen knew that this time it was completely his mistake, because he was weak-hearted, so he wanted to enter the customs quickly. Have the status of a normal person. At this moment, he forgot about the others, unless this person was someone like Fang Huanshui or Yang Jiawen who needed his protection. That will be remembered from time to time, as for being a protected person, Lin Musen is not used to it.
