Chapter 11 Those who engage in the atomic bomb are not as good as those who sell tea and eggs
After dinner, the lights were on, the moon stars were scarce, and the oil lamp was lit in the wing house on the left side of the Tang family, flashing with a dim light, but unfortunately it was not as bright as the moonlight shining through the window.
This is Tang Tianchen's bedroom and study, and he is the only one in the family who enjoys the special treatment of sleeping in a separate room. Although the house is not surrounded by four walls, there are few valuable things, but the room is very clean and neat, and the things are arranged in a categorical and orderly manner.
Tang Tianchen, who saw the oil lamp for the first time, looked surprised.
Damn, have I traveled to ancient times? Why do you still light oil lamps! Isn't there a light bulb in this house?
However, he immediately reacted, it should be that the electricity bill is too expensive, and the family is reluctant to use electricity.
He looked around and found that only his bedroom and living room were equipped with light bulbs, not even the kitchen, so it must be convenient for him to read at night!
It seems that his parents have deep expectations for him, and it is really a wise move that he did not give up the college entrance examination.
Tang Tianchen, who was lying on the bed, couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, what should he do to completely change this dilemma in front of him?
The nineties were the decade of reform and opening up, when state-owned enterprises were gradually declining and capitalism was emerging.
Soon, the economic wave set off by reform and opening up will soon be like the wind helping the tide, bringing wave after wave of impact.
This new era has arrived! As the song goes: "In the spring of 1992, an old man wrote a poem on the shore of the South China Sea. There is a rolling spring tide between heaven and earth......"
In the rolling spring tide, there is a group of people who "catch the sea", and they sang the song "Spring Story" together with a high-pitched strong voice of the times, which has so far dominated the mainstream of the business world.
This is a glorious time full of gold, and for entrepreneurs, this is the best era!
Countless business tycoons who dominated one side later started in this era, and countless famous large enterprises in later generations were also founded in this era. It even led to a wave of government and government officials going to the sea to do business, and many of them had senior officials at the level of deputy ministers, which was absolutely unimaginable in later generations.
I remember that someone later joked and wrote on the Internet:
At that time, even if you were a fool and a coerc, as long as you knew a little business skills and had a little starting capital, you would probably be able to make a fortune.
Tang Tianchen felt that he should not be stupid or forced, and he still knew a little bit about business skills, but the key was that he had no starting capital. Wherever you go, you can get the first pot of gold!
What can I do now?
Tang Tianchen suddenly remembered a post he had read before, which introduced his profession in the nineties:
The most popular occupations of that era were, in order: taxi drivers, self-employed, cooks...... Finally, scientists, doctors, teachers. "It is better to hold a scalpel than to take a razor", "It is better to sell tea and eggs than to engage in atoms and bullets" was the scene of that time.
yes, he remembered. I remember that when he drove a taxi in the past, a taxi driver in his 60s once bragged to him:
"Don't look at our industry now, it seems to be in a recession, think that in the nineties, I don't know how many big girls and little girls cried and shouted to marry us! At that time, the average salary of Shanghi was only more than 100 per month, and I could basically get 7 or 8 thousand a month at that time, and more than 10,000 in good times. ”
Tang Tianchen thought he was bragging, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, but now that he thinks about it, what he said may be true.
In these years, having a bicycle can be regarded as a well-off family, and the cars are basically concentrated in state-owned enterprises or government and government units. Buying a private car is definitely rare.
Now the cheapest is the Eastern European car series: Polonaise and Dacia are cheaper than the domestic Xiali, about 160,000 yuan, Korean and Japanese cars are hundreds of thousands of yuan, and German and American cars are more expensive. The average Santara is about 210,000, and the Audi starts at 400,000.
What is this concept? It sounds pretty much the same as it does now. In fact, it is not, because the renminbi is much stronger in this era.
In 1990, the per capita salary of civil servants was less than 100 per month, and the most expensive housing prices in those places where every inch of land was later expensive in "Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen" will not exceed 2,000 per square meter. Seventy or eighty thousand yuan can buy a house in the urban area of a small city. Convert it to know how valuable the yuan is now!
Tang Tianchen observed on the way home that there were very few cars on the road, and the ordinary people's means of transportation were bicycles, buses or walking, and the most cars on the road were still the old-fashioned Jeep and Santana, as well as Dacia and Xiali, and it was rare to see Audi and Mercedes-Benz.
Since there are so few cars now, and they are so expensive, ordinary people can't even touch them in their lives, how can they have the opportunity to learn to drive! People who can drive are naturally scarce, so it's no surprise that taxis are currently paid the highest.
Tang Tianchen can drive, he took a driver's license in his previous life, and he also drove taxis and trucks for a while. Of course, this is not surprising in 2015, when thousands of people get their driver's licenses every day, and even more so who can drive.
But in 1990, this small place in his hometown was different, and ordinary people rarely even saw a car, let alone a car. At present, there are fewer than 5 people who can drive in the entire Changfeng Town.
Yes, you can drive a taxi yourself! Definitely make money!
Well, sleep! Tang Tianchen decided to get up early tomorrow morning and inquire about where there was such an opportunity.
At breakfast, Tang Tianchen asked Tang Liuqing:
"Dad, where is there a taxi around here!"
"What car?" Tang Liuqing didn't hear clearly.
"Taxi, the kind of taxi that solicits customers!"
"What's a taxi? Aren't all soliciting tricycles pedaling? ”
At this time, Tang Changwu interjected.
"Brother, are you talking about the kind of 4-wheeled, oil-burning kind? It's like in the movies. ”
Tang Tianchen: "......"
Sweat! This is actually from the movie. It seems that there should be no such thing in the vicinity.
It's right to think about it, this place is so poor, how can the people around you afford to take a taxi? Now I'm afraid that only those big cities like Yanjing, Shanghi, and Wu Khan have taxis!
"And where do we have cars around here?" Tang Tianchen asked without giving up.
Tang Liuqing thought for a moment and replied:
"In addition to the white car of the government, it seems that only the Mengjiagou Coal Mine over there has it! Why do you ask this? ”
"Mengjiagou Coal Mine...... The one east of Happy Ridge? ”
"Well, let's eat quickly, I'll be on the ground in a while! You watch your younger siblings well at home. ”
The name Mengjiagou evoked Tang Tianchen's memories, he was no stranger to this place, he just started to learn to drive in the Mengjiagou Coal Mine in his previous life with a master surnamed Li.
Mengjiagou Coal Mine is the largest coal mine near his home, and the owner's surname is Li, a native of Sichuan and Shu. In 2013, when he returned home for the Chinese New Year after working for half a year, he said that he wanted to learn a skill, so his father begged him to learn to drive with an old coal driver on the Mengjiagou mine. After studying for more than half a year, and later driving a car in the mine for half a year, Tang Tianchen felt that it was too boring and went out to work again.
Seeing Tang Liuqing and Cheng Ning go out with hoes, Tang Tianchen turned his head to look at Tang Changwu, he was his second uncle in the previous life, is it now...... It's his second brother.
Unlike Tang Changwen's starry eyes and sword eyebrows, fresh and handsome, Tang Changwu has thick eyebrows and big eyes, black and tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a wide waist and a round waist. Daunting.
In his previous life, Tang Tianchen was not afraid of the sky or the earth, but he was only afraid of his second uncle. Every time I do something naughty and mischievous, I feel soft when I am swept away by him.
Of course, in addition to his vicious appearance, he also has something to do with his second uncle's change of career after serving in the military and becoming a civilian and police officer in the local police station.
But right now, his second uncle is still a 15-year-old underage junior high school student, and he is biting the pen and racking his brains to compete with the homework book!
Grandparents really know how to choose names, and his father and his second uncle are really literate and martial, one is quick-witted, and the other is polite. One is strong and strong, and the tiger is vigorous.
Looking at the second uncle's scratching of his ears and cheeks, and he was sweating profusely, Tang Tianchen couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect that the second uncle, who had always been unsmiling, would have such a funny moment. This second uncle is really the same as his first impression: well-developed limbs and simple mind.
Tang Changwu saw that his eldest brother was looking at him, and quickly handed over the workbook in his hand, pointed to one of the math problems and asked:
"Big brother, can you help me see how to solve this problem?"
Tang Tianchen glanced at it, Ma Dan, it is the problem of this kind of swimming pool being filled with water while releasing water, does this pool manager have a hole in his brain? Can the dirty water in the swimming pool be drained clean? If I were the boss, I would have let him go.
Naturally, he doesn't know this question, and his current level of mathematics is probably not as good as Tang Changwu!
Tang Tianchen's face immediately turned pale. Pretending to be majestic, he reprimanded:
"What do teachers usually teach you, read more books, use your brain more, and think more. You ask people at every turn, yes, I can solve this problem very easily, but what can you learn? How can you always rely on others like this? Do you want me to explain to you what independent thinking is? ”
Tang Changwu's face turned dark, and he continued to bite the pen with a disgraced face......
Wow! It's so cool! It's so cool!
It turns out that the teaching of righteous words is so comfortable. Sample, let you murder me when you were a child, and beat me in the ass.
Hmph, as the so-called people are doing, the sky is watching, and the right path has reincarnation. If you don't believe it, look up, who the sky bypasses! Hahaha......
Tang Tianchen looked at the second uncle's ugly eyebrows and bitter face, and he was a little unbearable when he looked bitter and hateful. Opening:
"Okay, okay, don't think about it, change your mind first, let me ask you something?"
"Howler! What's the matter? Tang Changwu was released, and quickly put away the homework book.
Tang Changwu was a living overlord-level figure in both the school and the village, and his peers did not dare to speak loudly in front of him. But he only believes in his eldest brother, because the eldest brother oppresses him in everything and takes good care of him. He has always regarded Tang Changwen's words as a golden rule.
"Does anyone in our family know anyone in the Mengjiagou Coal Mine?"
"Mengjiagou Coal Mine...... I don't think so! ”
"If you think about it, really not? As long as you know it, you can do it. ”
Tang Changwu thought about it seriously for a while, shook his head and said:
"No, not really. But brother...... Don't you have a classmate who is the son of the deputy mine manager? ”
"Really? Which classmate? ”
"Just Wang Qiping! Isn't Second Master Song next door his uncle? ”
"Oh, is it? Where does his family live? Far from it? ”
"Not far, just on the half-moon slope in front, the first household on the slope is his house, why don't I take you there now?"
"Okay, let's go! You go and bring Shuang'er and the fourth child out, and I'll lock the door. ”
