Under the leadership of Wang Xiaoqun, Cao Zhiqiang continued to walk inside, and soon gradually moved away from this lively light market, and gradually entered the darkness.

At this time, Cao Zhiqiang knew that the so-called high-end place was not in the same place as this place at all, but if you want to go to that place, you must first pass through this peripheral night market.

The reason is very simple, that is, the periphery of this night market is actually a temporary stall on both sides of a slightly wider crossroads, and if you want to go deeper, this road full of stalls on both sides is the only way to go.

In other words, if you want to buy large items such as cars, motorcycles and refrigerators, you have to continue to go inside and go directly into the village.

That's right, the so-called senior is also, in fact, in the village, to be exact, in the place of the old threshing floor in the village.

The villages of this era were very autonomous, and they generally had their own militia teams, and ordinary police officers could not enter them casually.

Therefore, some so-called silk distribution centers were set up in these coastal fishing villages or villages from the beginning.

During this period, the coastal fishing villages were not only fishing, in fact, there were some suitable land for cultivation to grow grain and other crops, but in this era, growing grain and fishing was tiring and not profitable, so many fishermen were engaged in water transportation and silk transportation part-time.

That's how the so-called parallel goods came about.

Due to the underdevelopment of communication and transportation, there is no strict statistical data on how much the fishing village was in this period, and all the data is actually an approximation.

The situation improved in the late nineties due to the vigorous development of township enterprises and the improvement of transportation and communication capabilities.

But in this era, the idyllic life of the so-called rural fishing villages is actually not beautiful.

Poverty leads to change, especially in the coastal fishing villages of Hainan, especially during this period.

When he thought so, Wang Xiaoqun had already walked with Cao Zhiqiang for more than half an hour before he came to the entrance of a fishing village.

As usual, there were many militiamen standing guard with guns and wearing red sleeves at the entrance of the village, and on the surface there were not two, but eight.

Those militiamen obviously knew Wang Xiaoqun, and found out that it was Wang Xiaoqun who brought them, and Wang Xiaoqun went up to negotiate, so they quickly let him go.

Next, Cao Zhiqiang, who was wearing a mask, obediently followed behind Wang Xiaoqun, went directly into the village along the road, and then continued to walk inside.

On the surface, the village seems to be pretty good, although not to say that every household is a brick house, but it is about the same.

You know, this is the 80s, and most of the rural houses are mud houses, and there are not many brick houses.

This fishing village can almost every household is brick houses, which shows that the economic strength is not ordinary.

But in this era of inconvenient transportation, inconvenient transportation of seafood, and limited salvage capacity, why can this fishing village be so rich?

Considering the militia at the door, the answer speaks for itself.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't want to comment on this, after all, this is a characteristic of the times, and he can't change it alone.

If you want to change the people here, you must change it from the root, that is, you must change the poor disease.

Otherwise, such people and villages will only be burned by wildfires, and the spring breeze will blow and regenerate.

After a while, Cao Zhiqiang followed Wang Xiaoqun to a brightly lit place again.

The lights here are bright, and they are no longer gas lamps and kerosene lamps, but real light bulbs, and even energy-saving lamps.

This shows that there is no shortage of electricity here.

In a period of general power shortage, it can be brightly lit, and there is a high probability that it has its own generator set.

In other words, just the fact that there is no electricity at night proves the strength of this village.

After coming here, there are not as many people as the previous night market, so lively, but there is a different style.

To put it simply, there are no people on the road, but there are many brick houses around, and there are many neon signs at the entrances of many brick houses.

Cao Zhiqiang took a general look, in addition to several restaurants on both sides of this street that focus on seafood, there are also barber shops, clothing stores, video halls, libraries and hostels, so it can be said that there are all food, clothing, housing and transportation.

If this is not a village, he thought that he had come to a relatively good town.

Especially the library, there is a library in this small place, which surprised Cao Zhiqiang.

"How's that, awesome?" Wang Xiaoqun smiled, "Aren't you stunned?" ”

"It was a real shock." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "If you don't say that this is a village, I thought I was in a busy street." ”

"This is all done by the village chief." Wang Xiaoqun smiled and said, "Here, buying and selling foreign goods is one of them, but it is only open at night, and many people come from afar, and they usually don't go back in the middle of the night, so most of them stay here for one night."

At first, there was no such thing, but some big bosses thought it was too boring and hoped to have a higher level of special service.

So the village chief cooperated with a few big bosses from Hong Kong to build a special street here.

You see, here, whether it's a restaurant or a hotel, all the stores are open all night and close at dawn.

So, if you're tired and want to sleep, there are hostels with hot water and big beds.

If you're feeling hungry, you can try the special paella here.

If you feel lonely, you can watch videos in the video hall here, and there are many beautiful girls in the barber room.

If you feel itchy, you can also go to the library here to gamble on two. ”

"Isn't it?" Cao Zhiqiang stammered, "Anything else, there is a casino here?" Or is it in the library? ”

"Of course." Wang Xiaoqun nodded, "Playing cards and playing dice, there are all ways to play in Xiangjiang." ”

"Awesome!" Cao Zhiqiang was speechless.

Wang Xiaoqun smiled: "Generally, after all, the customer is God, and the big boss likes these, so he naturally has to arrange it." Anyway, you can see it, if you come here, you can eat, drink and have fun, and you don't have to worry about being bored and lonely.

However, there is one point, these places are only for the bosses from outside, and the local villagers are not allowed to come here to consume.

Even people who leave this village, like me, are not allowed to consume here. ”

"Why is that?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Wang Xiaoqun shrugged: "This is the rule set by the village chief, it seems that he doesn't want the people here to be contaminated with the bad atmosphere over there." ”

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Is this possible? ”

"How can't it be." Wang Xiaoqun smiled faintly, "The old people in this village are very supportive, young people, although they are curious, but the militia is not vegetarian."

Don't look at the bustle here, in fact, there are no people from this village who come to this street to open shops and do business, and they are all hired from outside.

People in this village are not allowed to enter here without permission, unless they are like me, leading big customers over, but they can only take customers to visit and introduce, and then customers can choose to go in to consume, I can't.

I say that, you get the idea, right? ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "If you want to say that, then I understand." ”

Wang Xiaoqun smiled: "How about it, do you want to find a place to play?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, I'm not interested in these things, let's go straight to the point and go see the car." ”

Wang Xiaoqun nodded: "Okay, then you come with me." ”

After a while, Wang Xiaoqun took Cao Zhiqiang through the brightly lit street, and then came to an equally brightly lit square.

This square is not small, and it is densely packed with all kinds of cars and motorcycles.

Obviously, this is the motor vehicle area, and this place where vehicles are parked is the original real threshing floor in the village.

As for the previous street with bright lights, it is obviously just a transition, or an attached service place.

After coming here, Wang Xiaoqun quickly got in touch with a young man who was about 1.65 meters tall, with a lean figure and a bronze complexion, but a very honest face.

After chatting for a while, the young man who was not tall walked over, looked at Wang Zhiqiang who was wearing a mask, and then said in Haikou-flavored Mandarin: "You are the Cao Gongzi from the capital?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Yes." ”

"Coming to buy a car?" The other party continued to ask.

"Yes!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded again and replied.

"Did you bring any money?" Again, he asked, "I'm talking about foreign currencies, such as the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and patted the slanted shoulder bag: "Bring it!" ”

The little bronze man smiled and nodded: "Very good, as long as you have foreign money." By the way, what car do you want to buy? A car, or a loaf? ”

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while and said, "Is there an SUV?" ”

"What's V?" The little man frowned, "What's that?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that SUVs were not popular at this time, but were uniformly called jeeps.

"It's an off-road vehicle, or a jeep." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Are there any imported jeeps with good off-road performance?" ”

"Jeep, yes!" The little man nodded, "But this kind of car is generally a bit expensive, and the cheapest one costs three thousand dollars, do you have one?" ”

"Don't worry, there is!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

The little man wiped his nose: "Then you come with me." ”

After speaking, the other party walked forward first, while Cao Zhiqiang and Wang Xiaoqun followed behind him.

Soon, the other party came to a jeep, pointed to the car, and said, "How is this one?" The Arrow 243, with an all-metal body and a maximum power of 75 horsepower, uses a 4-speed manual transmission and a 2-speed transfer case, and can reach a top speed of 100 miles.

The car is also easy to maintain, and the parts of the 212 Jeep are interoperable with the engine.

The same Arrow 243, even if it is the kind of canvas roof, you can get at least 20,000 yuan inland, and you may not be able to buy it.

But in my case, the configuration of the metal roof can be taken away for only four thousand dollars, how about it? ”

Cao Zhiqiang looked at the army-green jeep and shook his head.

The car is similar to the 212 Jeep, but a little bigger.

The problem is that although this car is famous, it also has a lot of faults, and it is so much better than the 212 Jeep of the same period.

Why can it be interchangeable with 212 jeep parts, isn't it easy to have problems?

And the comfort of this car is very poor, he doesn't want to drive this kind of car.

In case he drove this car to a deserted place and broke down halfway, there would be no place to cry.

"Is there a better one?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

The little man nodded: "Better ah, come here." ”

After walking a little further, the little man stepped forward to remove the tarpaulin, revealing a small, real jeep.

Yes, it's a real Jeep, just by looking at that "Jeep" logo.

"Purely imported CJ7 jeep!" The little man said, "The horsepower is strong, it is very fuel-efficient, you can walk on any bad road, and it is not easy to break, as long as it is five thousand five hundred dollars, you can drive back." ”

Cao Zhiqiang took a closer look and thought that the car was not bad, but he still felt that it was a little worse.

"Is there anything better?" Cao Zhiqiang asked, "The kind that is a little bigger, a little stronger." ”

The little man groaned this time: "There is still one, but the price is a bit expensive, it has to be nine thousand dollars, do you have this money?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Don't worry, as long as the car is good, money is not a problem." ”

The little man looked at Wang Xiaoqun, and after seeing that the other party nodded, he said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Okay, come with me." ”

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang followed the little man again, and soon came to a vehicle tightly wrapped in a tarpaulin again.

After the little man came here, he opened the tarpaulin with Wang Xiaoqun without saying a word, revealing a car that looked like it was eight or nine percent new...... Pickup trucks?

"The seventh-generation Ford F150 off-road vehicle, nicknamed the Raptor!" The little man knocked on the front of the car.

"It's an authentic American product, an inline six-cylinder engine with a single-barrel carburetor, a fuel consumption of 4.2, 117 horsepower, four-wheel drive, high off the ground, strong off-road ability, and can go on any bad road.

At the same time, the car can seat up to three people in the front and a body in the back to pull goods.

The steering wheel is hydraulically assisted or a four-speed automatic transmission, so you don't have to constantly step on the clutch.

In addition to this, this car also has adjustable sofa seats, powerful air conditioning, and is not afraid of cold in winter and hot in summer.

There is also a high-fidelity radio and tape recorder, so you can listen to songs anytime, anywhere.

To put it simply, it is a comfortable ride and a light drive, so that even a woman with little strength can easily drive away without effort.

I heard that this car is very popular in the United States, but the price is too expensive and the fuel consumption is too high, so it doesn't sell well here.

Actually, I didn't want to accept this, it's not suitable for this side, but a friend of mine got a batch of this from Xiangjiang, which is said to be a new car that can't be sold there, and let me sell it on my behalf.

You have to think it's appropriate...... In this way, at a fixed price, 8,800 US dollars, drive away directly. ”

As soon as he heard this, Cao Zhiqiang didn't say anything, and Wang Xiaoqun stopped first: "Eight thousand eight? Xiao Feng, are you robbing money? ”

The little man called Xiao Feng sighed to Wang Xiaoqun: "Brother Wang, it's really not me who grabbed the money, it's really someone else who put me to sell it, not me, and the price is like this."

For your sake, I don't want much at all, at most I earn a hard fee. ”

Speaking of this, the little man looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "This price really can't be low, at least eight thousand eight, otherwise I won't be able to explain." Of course, if you don't think it's suitable, you can take a look at the jeep in front, in fact, I think that jeep is very good. ”

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Can I try this car?" ”

Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded happily: "No problem, no problem, you can go up and give it a try, but you can't go far, just go around the surroundings twice." ”

After speaking, Xiao Feng took out the car keys and threw them to Cao Zhiqiang.

Next, Cao Zhiqiang got into the cab, and Xiao Feng followed the co-pilot uneasily.

It's not that I'm afraid that Cao Zhiqiang will drive away, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to drive and something will happen.

After Cao Zhiqiang started the car, he hung up the forward gear very freely, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the vehicle drove forward smoothly.

Sure enough, when the car is back on the automatic transmission, it is cool, it is cool!

It's only four-speed, but it's okay.

Moreover, this is a four-wheel drive, and the ground clearance is also particularly high, and in terms of off-road ability, it is stronger than the average off-road vehicle.

No wonder this kind of pickup is an off-road vehicle, maybe in the eyes of that Xiao Feng, this kind of pickup is also an off-road vehicle.

But I never expected that in such a small fishing village, there would be a Ford F150 for sale, and I was speechless.

This car is currently not easy to see in the capital, and it is scarce.

After driving around the specified place and experiencing the driving experience, Cao Zhiqiang parked the car on the side of the road steadily, then turned off the engine, and said to Xiao Feng next to him with a smile: "This car is good, I want it!" ”
