Outside Luohu Railway Station.

There were constantly drivers of minibuses and motorcycles who came up to talk to customers, but they were all politely rejected by Han Chunlei one by one.

When he first arrived in this new city, Zhang Xilu was a little at a loss, and asked with a blank face: "Chunlei, where are we going next? ”

Han Chunlei was afraid of his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Xilu, don't worry, we have our own place to go." Look, here's—"

Following the direction of Han Chunlei's finger, he saw a person not far away waving his arm and trotting over here.

Waiting for people to get closer, Zhang Xilu knew that it was Axiong, who had a relationship with Shangtang Commune before, and had a friendship with each other.

"He, why is he here?" Zhang Xilu asked, obviously a little stunned by Ah Xiong's sudden arrival to pick up the station.

"Have you forgotten that time in Shangtang Commune, Ah Xiong left me the phone number of their factory?" Han Chunlei said.

Zhang Xilu suddenly realized that before coming to Shenzhen, Han Chunlei had contacted Ah Xiong. He was still a little apprehensive before, but with the appearance of Ah Xiong, the head snake, he became a little more steady.

Han Chunlei went up and hugged Ah Xiong fiercely, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiong, I am true to my word, and I will come when I say it!"

I haven't seen him for a long time, except for being a little fatter, Ah Xiong is still so trendy, with a hot head, a horn, and an extra pair of toad glasses today.

Especially this pair of toad mirrors, Zhang Xilu was dumbfounded, and he thought, "It's too foreign!"

Toad mirrors, with large lenses and light colors, are worn on people's faces like toads' two big eyes, so they are called toad mirrors. Han Chunlei knows that this is the standard for trendy men in the next few years.

This year is 79 years, if I remember correctly, next year there will be an American translated drama introduced to China, called "The Man Under the Atlantic", this drama was popular in the mainland at that time, the protagonist Mike in it has a strong figure, a cool and handsome expression, and everywhere is a toad mirror, majestic, and countless fans.

For a time, Mike's image was warmly sought after by young people in the 80s, which indirectly led to the popularity of toad mirrors across the country, like southern cities, which were simply sold out.

Unexpectedly, before this drama was introduced and broadcast, there were already toad mirrors on sale in Shenzhen. Eighty percent came from those places in Hong Kong to the mainland, and now toad mirrors are also very popular on the streets of Hong Kong. Which of the big guys in the old Hong Kong films is not wearing toad glasses, perming curly hair, and is majestic?

It seems that the fashion of toad mirrors will become popular in China sooner or later, but it is the American drama "The Man Who Came Down Under the Atlantic" that has accelerated his popularity and popularity.

Before Han Chunlei was reborn, he listened to his father talk about the past, saying that one of his father's children was a small man, and he made a fortune in the north in Guangdong. Of course, later Uncle Fa got carried away with the slight swelling, some of them floated, they were knocked down, and they were locked up for half a year before they came out.

"Hahaha, I just said I'm waiting for you in Shenzhen! Welcome to Shenzhen, to Luohu!"

Ah Xiong and Han Chunlei hugged each other and separated, then took off the toad mirror and threw it directly to Zhang Xilu, "If you like it, take it if you like it, I'll give it to you!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Xilu excitedly held the toad glass, looked at Ah Xiong in disbelief, and asked, "Send it, send it to me?"

"Well, I've got you, here, with this, you can buy anything!" Ah Xiong gestured as he counted the bills.

Zhang Xilu was a little embarrassed to accept it, and looked at Han Chunlei again.

Han Chunlei nodded and motioned for him to accept it.

"Go, I'll take you to my house, and when you first arrive, you will stay in our house first. Ah Xiong directly carried the sack in Han Chunlei's hand and took them out of the train station.

"Aren't we going to do the bus?" asked Han Chunlei as he walked.

Ah Xiong smiled and said, "What kind of bus, we have our own car!"

Do you have a car?

Ah Xiong took Han Chunlei and the others for a few hundred meters, came to a minibus on the side of the road, opened the door directly, made a gesture of please, and said, "Guests from afar, please get in the car." ”

"This ...... This minibus is yours? Oh my God, Ah Xiong, you are so dignified. Zhang Xilu touched the door of the minibus with some envy.

"Welcome from afar!"

A familiar Cantonese came from the driver's seat.

As soon as Han Chunlei got into the car, he saw Ah Qiang in the driver's seat of the minibus waving to them in Cantonese.

"Brother Qiang?"

Herman... Ah Keung... At the same time, he appeared to pick up the station, and he also drove a minibus to pick up the station, Han Chunlei was very surprised, but he had more doubts.

Ah Xiong saw Han Chunlei's doubts, pressed him to the seat with a smile, and said, "Sit down first, know that you have a lot of whys, and say on the road in a while, Ah Qiang, let's go." ”

The car buzzed into action, Cuong put the toad glasses on, and then pressed the horn a few times in a very fashionable manner, and the car ran slowly.

Zhang Xilu rushed directly to the co-pilot's position, glanced enviously at Ah Qiang, who was wearing toad glasses and concentrating on driving a minibus, and gently touched the car window, and sighed: "It's too windy, you guys are living a good life." ”

Ah Xiong turned his head and said, "Friend, sit tight, Ah Qiang will take you around the streets of Shenzhen." ”

......

Han Chunlei and Ah Xiong sat side by side in the back, listening to Ah Xiong talk about some of the things that had happened after he returned from Hangzhou.

Although the central document on the establishment of a special economic zone in Shenzhen has not yet been officially written, since the establishment of Shenzhen in January this year, the leaders of the central government and ministries and commissions have taken turns to inspect and investigate the urban reconstruction and planning of Shenzhen, fine-tuning and changing local policies, etc., these earth-shaking changes are enough to make smart Shenzhen people feel that Shenzhen is about to face a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for change. Therefore, many emerging industries have emerged invisibly.

Ah Xiong and Ah Qiang, the village party secretary in their village, were keenly aware that with the continuous influx of people from other places into Shenzhen, these people have invisibly increased the demand for rental housing, so every household in Ah Xiong's village has begun to add floors, repair old houses, and open houses for rent to outsiders.

Not only that, but their village also raised funds to buy two minibuses, which were specially used to shout and solicit customers near the railway station, near villages where people from other places rent a lot, and in places with a large flow of people in the city. Their minibuses do not have special routes, and they basically belong to the mode of waving and stopping, which greatly solves the pressure of traffic in the city at the moment.

You must know that Shenzhen was just a small fishing village at the beginning, and before the establishment of the city in 1979, Shenzhen was a small town in Bao'an County. Two cement roads pass through the town, one is Renmin Road and the other is Jiefang Road, with a total length of less than 2 kilometers. At that time, there were 26,000 people and 7 cars in Shenzhen. Later, even if Shenzhen planned to build a city, it was very embarrassing. At that time, it was 600 strong men from Lufeng. With shovels and pickaxes, a road from Caiwuwei to Shanghai Hotel was dug inch by inch, with a total length of 2.1 kilometers and a width of 7 meters. Only enough for two trucks to cross each other, this is the earliest Shennan Avenue.

At that time, Shenzhen, which had just been established as a city, was very small, very simple, very simple. So small that you think it's a village, so simple that you would question whether it's worth calling a city?

Later, with the drastic merger and reform and regional expansion, Shenzhen had six management areas: Longgang, Kwai Chung, Longhua, Luohu, Nantou and Songgang. These six administrative districts will not be established until October this year.

It's only June, and it's just getting started, but smart Shenzheners are already feeling the opportunity, especially young people like Ah Xiong who have embraced trendy things.

Although the two water minibuses belong to the collective property of the village. However, after negotiating with the village brigade, Ah Xiong and Ah Qiang applied for the right to operate a car. They will hand over part of the income from the minibus to the village department every month, and the remaining part will be distributed by the two of them.

Now the income of the two of them is a few times higher than when they were in the crafts, and there is a lot more flexibility in this time, and sometimes when business is good, Ah Xiong and Ah Qiang can run from dawn to dark. In Ah Xiong's words, no matter how tired you are, it's worth it, at least watching the days go ahead. Unlike in the handicraft factory, although the days are leisurely, and business trips can also be reimbursed, but the monthly salary is dozens of yuan, every day is muddy, today I don't know what will happen tomorrow, and I no longer have the passion and dreams of my youth.

Now the two of them have been contracting the minibus in the village for more than half a month, and in addition to the fuel money and the money handed over to the village department, the net income of the two of them together every day is more than 20 yuan, and less than 10 yuan. This has to be done steadily for two or three years, earning him 10,000 yuan, and not bragging at all.

......

......

After listening to Ah Xiong's account, Han Chunlei couldn't help but think that this model of theirs should be the early prototype of taxi leasing and contracting, right? However, in the early days of reform and opening up, Shenzhen had a favorable time and place, and only the people of Guangdong dared to think and dare to do it. In the hinterland, even if the leaders of the vast majority of places want to learn and emulate, they have to study and discuss other documents, and wait for the documents and other policies, right?

"Haha, Chunlei, let me tell you, our kind of minibus can't run for too long, and it will definitely be difficult to wait for the policy to come out in the future. Minibuses like ours and motorcycles that you see outside the train station are all operating without a license, and they will definitely be checked in the future. ”

Ah Qiang's words in the driver's seat broke the silence behind Ah Xiong and Han Chunlei, and said in a loud voice: "I have a dream, that is, I have saved enough money to have my own taxi!"

"What is a taxi? Zhang Xilu asked next to him.

Cuong said, "It's what you inland people talk about." How's that going?

"A taxi? It's a car, right?"

Suddenly, Zhang Xilu also pulled his thoughts back to the bus in Hangzhou a few days ago, looking at the taxi whizzing outside the window, he also said to himself that his dream is to be able to have a car of his own.

Well, he and Ah Qiang's dream are the same, they all have their own car, Ah Qiang wants to use it to drive a taxi, he wants to use it to drive back to Changhe Commune, drive back to Hongqi Village, step on the accelerator and slide around.

Looking at the two people in the driver's seat and the passenger seat, Han Chunlei set his eyes on Ah Xiong, this trendy fat man, there are always some very trendy ideas in his head, he feels that compared to Ah Qiang, he and Ah Xiong have more common language.

He asked, "Brother Xiong, what about you? What is your dream? Do you want to open a stable minibus for three or five years and become a 10,000-yuan household?"
