Chapter 4 Arrival in Shanghai
With a long whistle, the slow train finally entered the railway station in Shanghai. With Tie Dan finally squeezed off the train, the station was full of people picking up the station, including students, soldiers, and all kinds of merchants.
I don't know if there are important people coming, in the center of the platform, there is a band of pipes, blowing and playing. It seems that they are welcoming some big man to Shanghai, because there are too many people around, Li Tie and Tie Dan didn't take a closer look at who the big man was to pick up, and the two walked out of the platform a few steps, and there were many rickshaws coming up to solicit business.
Li Tie called a rickshaw for himself and Tie Dan, and the rickshaw told them to go to Tongji Medical and Engineering University, as long as the fare was two cents, Tie Dan was so distressed that he shouted that he wanted to accompany the young master over.
Li Tie ignored Tie Dan and said that if you have the ability, you can climb to Tongji University, anyway, Young Master Ben is going to take a car. After speaking, he didn't care whether Tie Dan followed or not, so he got into the rickshaw first. Of course, Tie Dan can't watch the young master slip away from his side, alas, this young master has become more and more difficult to take care of since he left Fenghua City.
I had no choice but to follow the rickshaw behind. It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at Tongji University. Got out of the car. Tie Dan reluctantly paid for the car.
Dressed in a pony coat, Li Tie, who was dressed as a local tyrant and landlord, found that a lot of people had gathered at the school gate, and Li Tie asked Tie Dan to wait outside the school gate. I went to register alone, because there were still seven days before the start of Tongji University, so there were not many students who came to register.
After Li Tie showed the admission notice at the door, the school guard let him enter the school gate, and pointed out that there was a reception office on the right turn of his entrance, where all matters related to the admission of new students were handled.
When I came to the reception desk for new students, it turned out to be a huge shade of trees, and more than a dozen tables were set up. There were receptions from various majors above, and Li Tie remembered that he hadn't seen what major he had studied.
Hurriedly opened it and took a look, Tongji Medical and Engineering University, engineering, economic management. Oh, it turns out that my father asked me to study economic management, I wonder how economic management at this time is compared to later generations?
Quickly walked to the reception of economic management, a young student was in charge of the reception, and when he saw Li Tieben walking towards him, he stood up enthusiastically, "Hello, this junior, is it a freshman of our economic management?" Li Tie sent the notice to the young man's desk, and then took out his identity document and showed it to the young man.
"Wow, the junior is only fifteen years old. Welcome to join the elite of economic management majors. Let us study together and make a contribution to doing a good job in the motherland's economic construction. My name is Liu Guanghua, and I am a second-year old student, and if my junior brother has any difficulties in the college in the future, just look for me. There are not many students in our economic management, and there are only a dozen or twenty people per term.
However, my classmates are all children of major trading companies and corporate tycoons. In the future, I will have to help more, my family runs a flour mill in Shanghai, and there is a warehouse at Pudong Wharf, I don't know what business my brother's family has. ”
"Oh, my family is a grain merchant in Fenghua, my family farms land, thousands of acres of fertile land, and I am also the largest grain merchant in Fenghua." Li Tie replied immediately.
"It's good now, brothers, let's get closer in the future, this grain is the foundation of the country, and there is a great possibility that our two families will cooperate in the future!"
Hearing that Li Tie's family is making food, Liu Guanghua was even more enthusiastic, and introduced the ins and outs of the economic management major in detail, not to mention the ins and outs of the economic management major, and also revealed the details of this new student to Li Tie in advance, what Rong family's children and nephews are very appealing here.
The son of the old Yan family's ironworks in Shanxi is very lustful, and the youngest daughter of the old Song family is rude and so on. At the same time, I also complained about the school's cafeteria and accommodation.
It is also said that these students majoring in economics and management have always been difficult to manage, and their families are well-off, and they are always picky about food and housing in the school. Either there is not even a decent toilet in the dormitory, or there is no hot water supply in the winter, which makes students shiver from the cold.
What's more, they said that the breakfast, lunch and dinner at school were not as good as the family dogs. In desperation, the economics and management major became the only class at Tongji University that could not live on campus.
Liu Guanghua registered Li Tie's registration information and told him which professors' professional courses he wanted to choose, and which teacher was old-fashioned, which teacher was funny, and which teacher's class could not be skipped.
Finally, he told him where the class would start in seven days, and warmly introduced a few places that their students frequented, such as Paramount Gate, and recommended a few places to stay at a good price, such as the margins of various concessions. Because Liu Guanghua is a local, he does not rent a house outside, but goes to school every day.
Thank you again Liu Guanghua for your hospitality, Li Tiezheng is ready to visit Tongji University. But thinking of the urgency of Tiedan, anyway, I don't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the campus in the future, so let's arrange food and accommodation.
Based on Li Tie's life experience in his previous life, there will definitely be a lot of rented houses near the university. So Li Tie went out of the school gate to find Tie Dan, and the two began to look for a door to rent out around the university.
Sure enough, not long after leaving, I happened to see a two-story small building with an independent courtyard that occupied a lot of land to be rented, and a sturdy lady was pasting red paper for rent.
Li Tie stepped forward to ask, and it turned out that this two-story villa was a middle-aged couple teaching in a middle school, because they were going abroad to visit their daughter in the United States. I may not come back for a year or two, so I want to rent out the house.
Li Tie immediately expressed his idea of renting, and the eldest lady was very happy, and the red paper was not pasted, so she hurriedly brought Li Tie and the others into the small courtyard. A middle-aged couple came down from upstairs. Li Tie said that he wanted to rent for a long time, at least for one year.
The middle-aged couple is also very happy, because the current situation is turbulent, although the housing prices in Shanghai are high, as long as they are not in the concession, the security is not good, the house is not easy to rent, and the price is much worse than in the concession.
The two had just received a telegram from their daughter in the United States, and they were in a hurry to rent out the house. Therefore, there is not much money in Huangshan, a normal house is only five to ten silver dollars a month, such a large building, with furniture and a product, middle-aged couples can only receive Li Tie three hundred silver dollars a year.
At the same time, this lady's surname is Zhao is the family employed by their family, the meals are good, the people are honest and diligent, if they are employed, it will only cost three silver dollars a month. suggested that Li Tie keep her.
Li Tie naturally also needed a cook, so he agreed to the couple's suggestion. The two quickly handed over the money contract, and the couple did not expect to rent out the house so quickly, leaving their address in the United States, and if they repaid the lease in the second year, they could remit the money to this address in the United States.
When the contract was signed, Li Tie learned that the couple was a pair of middle school teachers who taught history, the man was named Zhao Tonghai, and the woman was called Li Xiaomin. Their daughter is about to give birth in the United States. I couldn't get busy with work, so I urgently asked the two of them to come over.
Zhao Tonghai and his wife were very simple, asked someone to buy the ticket for the day, called a rickshaw, handed over the key to Li Tie and rushed to the dock.
Li Tie was very happy to find the house so quickly, and calculated that the cash on his body was less than two hundred silver dollars. This salute is getting lighter and lighter, and this pocket is getting more and more deflated.
Raise Zhao's mother's salary to five silver dollars per month, and pay for the groceries. From now on, Mama Zhao will be our Li Tie's big housekeeper. arranged Tie Dan to live on the first floor, and came to the master bedroom on the second floor alone, I have to say that this Zhao Tonghai couple is a cultural person.
The home is furnished with a strong cultural atmosphere, the bedroom is a European-style bed, and the bedside table and comb table look like imported goods. Not to mention that the annual rent is only 300 silver dollars. I'm afraid this set of furniture is more than three hundred silver dollars. Nor were they afraid to sell his home.
It seems that the bad people in this era are certainly bad people, but there is no limit to the good people who are really good. I really don't know whether such a pure character is good or bad in this era of cannibalism.
After looking at the bedroom, Li Tie came to the study. couldn't help but make Li Tie respect the Zhao couple, in addition to a set of wooden tables and chairs, the entire study room had six sets of large bookcases on three walls.
In the bookcase, almost all the books that have been heard and unheard from the pre-Qin period to the Republic of China are filled with each bookcase, and if you look closely, almost every book is old and new.
It can be seen that the Zhao couple are really book lovers, and those who read books remember that they also had a large row of bookcases in their previous life, and there were a lot of famous books and collections, but they had never turned them over, which was really embarrassing.
I took a good look at the layout in the study, and when it was time for lunch, I happened to hear the voice of Zhao's mother shouting downstairs. Li Tie hurried downstairs.
Li Tie and Tie Danmei tasted Zhao's mother's craftsmanship, and it was really good, at such a level, only five silver dollars per month was too worthwhile. After eating and drinking, Li Tie planned to take Tie Dan to the various concessions in Shanghai first.
I heard that it is the most prosperous place in Shanghai, and if you don't go to the concession in Shanghai, it's like going to Beijing without going to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Shout the iron egg, let him follow him, and let the young master take you to open your eyes and see the world-famous ten-mile ocean field of Da Shanghai Beach.
