Wang Weidong originally planned to travel with his children, but all the elderly in the family objected. Wang Weidong had no choice but to take Chen Jihong from Harbin to Shanghai by train, and he planned to travel to the capital when he returned.

Before Wang Weidong set off, he specially bought a seagull license camera, and practiced film loading and photography for an afternoon.

Two people rushed to Shanghai in a hard sleeper, and two people took a taxi out of the train station to stay in a medium-sized hotel on Yuyuan Road.

"We're rich!" Wang Weidong said.

Just now the two of them were sitting in a taxi, and Wang Weidong asked the driver to introduce a better hotel. The driver pulled the two people straight to the door of the Ruijin Hotel.

When Wang Weidong was about to go inside, he was stopped by Chen Jihong. From the outside, this hotel is anything but ordinary.

Chen Jihong ignored Wang Weidong's dissatisfaction and sorted out the clothes he brought out. Wang Weidong walked to the window and looked down from the second floor.

There were dozens of people standing diagonally across the street from the hotel, and some people were constantly coming in and out from inside.

Wang Weidong vaguely saw the two words in the center on the sign from between the trees.

Seeing Chen Jihong finish packing up her things, Wang Weidong took her downstairs to eat, and the two of them walked into a small restaurant next to the hotel.

Wang Weidong saw an old man come in and ask for half a basket of steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, and when he saw the size and quantity of the steamed buns, he decisively asked for three steamed buns.

After sitting down, Wang Weidong looked across the street, and only then did he see clearly that the sign he had just seen upstairs was written with the words "Study Abroad Center".

Shanghai people have a leading ideology, and since the early 80s, they have begun to study abroad or work part-time to make money.

An old lady walked in with a stack of papers, and her eyes lit up when she saw Wang Weidong and Chen Jihong, two young people.

She walked over and asked, "Young man, do you want information?" A pentagram with dozens of Japanese schools on it, all true! ”

Since she said it was true, it means that there is still a fake.

Wang Weidong took out five cents from his pocket and handed it to the old lady, who handed over the two pages of information to Wang Weidong.

Seeing that there was no one else in the small restaurant, the old lady went out again with a stack of materials.

Wang Weidong was eating steamed buns while looking at the information in his hand.

The two pages are densely packed with information about the enrollment of dozens of Japanese schools, and most of them are various language schools.

At this time, a man of about thirty walked through the street into a small restaurant.

Seeing that someone came in again, the old lady who sold the information immediately followed.

"Young man, buy a copy of the information, the above is true, no lie!" The old lady said.

"I just came out of the study abroad center, and I bought a place from you at the private immigration service center yesterday morning, have you forgotten?" The young man said.

"There were so many people that I can't remember. So you're about to go abroad and make a lot of money? The old lady asked with a smile.

"I'm picking a better school, and my family is borrowing money for me, who can have that much money." The young man replied.

The smile on his face was a little bitter, money was not so easy to borrow.

The old lady sat down and rested her feet and said, "More than 30,000 yuan is a lot, but you can make a lot of money when you get to Japan!" The salary is thirty times that of here! In a few years, you'll be back with four or five hundred thousand! ”

When Wang Weidong finished eating a basket of steamed buns, the old lady stood up with the materials and rushed across the street, where several young people stood at the door of the study abroad center, her potential customers.

Wang Weidong turned his head to look at the young man at the next table and said, "You want to study in Japan?" ”

The young man nodded and did not say anything.

"Is it easy to study in Japan now? Which university do you plan to study at? Wang Weidong asked persistently.

The young man did not answer Wang Weidong's question, but asked rhetorically: "Listen to the accent, you are from the Northeast?" ”

Wang Weidong nodded.

"I spent four years in Baoquanling as an educated youth, and most of the students studying abroad now go to language schools, but in fact, they are all looking for jobs there to make money." The young man explained.

It was only then that he smiled at Wang Weidong.

"The old lady just now went to the private entry and exit service center at night to line up to occupy a place, and in the morning she sold the place for two yuan, and the service center only handles the business of the first 300 people every day, so there are many people who buy a position for two yuan. Take a break in the morning, and come out in the afternoon to sell study abroad materials to make money. The young man said.

Shanghai people really have brains and are very good at making money.

"It's hard to say that the job in Japan is 30 times that of here, but my neighbor's son went out for a year, and the family borrowed more than 20,000 yuan for him to study abroad has been repaid, and it is inevitable to make money in Japan. Who doesn't want to go now, what are you afraid of borrowing money? Relatives know that you are going abroad to make money, as long as you have money, you can borrow, and when you pay back, you can give more. The young man continued.

"Have you found the right school now?" Wang Weidong asked.

At this time, the young man had already finished eating the bun and walked in front of Wang Weidong.

He picked up the information in Wang Weidong's hand, flipped to the second page, pointed to the name of a school on it, and said: "This is the school, Akancho Asuka School, this school does not need a guarantor, I sent the application for studying abroad and received the entry visa soon!" And this school visa is paid only after it is in hand, so you don't have to worry about being scammed. ”

Before leaving, the young man said to Wang Weidong: "I'm in my early thirties now, and if I don't fight, it's too late, go over there to suffer hardships and earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in a few years, am I a person who came back from the Great Northern Wilderness and am I still afraid of hardship?" Even if you get there, let me carry the dead, and I'll do it! ”

His words speak out of the hearts of people who have already gone abroad or are planning to go abroad. This generation and previous generations are not afraid of hardship, they are all tried and tested.

As long as there is enough reward, hardship is nothing at all.

Wang Weidong and Chen Jihong stayed in Shanghai for a week and took a train to the capital.

In the evening, Wang Weidong made a phone call using the phone number left by Ou Xiaoyang for him.

When Ou Xiaoyang heard that it was Wang Weidong's voice, he said in surprise: "Weidong, are you back from Shanghai?" What? Are you in the capital now? Which hotel, tell me right away, I'll go to you now! ”

Wang Weidong looked puzzled when he put down the phone.

It is normal for Ou Xiaoyang to be enthusiastic about him, but the tone is too enthusiastic, and he still has to come to see him at nine o'clock in the evening, which is a little abnormal.

Half an hour later, Ou Xiaoyang rushed to the hotel, and he walked to the door of the room where Wang Weidong lived and knocked on the door.

Seeing Wang Weidong open the door, Ou Xiaoyang held Wang Weidong's hand affectionately.

"Weidong, I just came back from Harbin City, your parents said that you went on a trip, but I didn't expect you to call me just two days after I came back." Ou Xiaoyang said.

"You're not looking for me, are you?" Wang Weidong asked keenly.

"I'm just looking for you! Good thing, big deal! A few friends and I are going to purchase a batch of freight to go over there, you are familiar with people there, and you can make a lot of money as long as you ship it over! Ou Xiaoyang said happily.
