"Passengers, welcome to the T8 train. This train will run from Tianfu West to Beijing West..."
Amidst the announcement, the train slowly pulled out of Tianfu Station. Qin Hao found his seat with large and small bags. As soon as he put his luggage on the shelf and was about to sit down, he saw a girl wearing a white floral skirt gritting her teeth.
Lifting a huge woven bag and placing it on the luggage rack.
So she stretched out her hand to help, and the girl gave Qin Hao a slightly stiff and wary smile.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Qin Hao replied casually, and then sat down in his seat. As a result, the girl happened to be sitting opposite him.
"Hey, who's suitcase is this? Why are you putting it here? I don't have any room for my legs. Can't I put it on the luggage rack?"
A semi-bald middle-aged man next to Qin Hao said impatiently.
The girl looked embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, uncle, I really can't let go..."
"If you can't put it up, you can't put it here. I've been to the capital for more than 20 hours, and it's uncomfortable to sit still. I can't straighten my legs..."
The girl apologized profusely, but the middle-aged man refused.
Qin Hao couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up the suitcase and stuffed it on the luggage rack.
"Is it okay this time?"
When the middle-aged man saw that Qin Hao was so tall and tall, he shut up angrily.
"Thank you, I'm troubling you again." The girl said a little embarrassed.
Qin Hao glanced at the middle-aged man lightly: "It's okay, some people are too noisy, I want to be quiet for a while."
"I still have to thank you. By the way, my name is Xiao Qianxi."
"Qin Hao."
After saying that, Qin Hao closed his eyes and began to think about how to survive in the capital. Yes, survive in the literal sense.
The original owner's family belongs to a poor family, and he borrowed money to pay for the tuition. This time he went to the capital to study, so he was given 500 yuan. This was not a month's living expenses, but a whole semester, even now in 2001.
, this little money can only last two months at most.
Xiao Qianxi has always been a very beautiful girl since she was a child, and has attracted many pursuits from the opposite sex. In order to protect herself, she has always been wary of the opposite sex. Perhaps it was Qin Hao's cold attitude that made Xiao Qianxi a little bit
I was curious and couldn't help but take a second look.
"Sit closer inside. Why do you, a little girl, occupy such a seat? Didn't you see me holding a child?"
"oh."
A fat aunt hugged a five or six-year-old boy and sat next to Xiao Qianxi, sweating profusely.
Xiao Qianxi had no choice but to huddle close to the window, just face to face with Qin Hao.
"Mom, I want to eat instant noodles."
The fat aunt said angrily: "I think you look like instant noodles."
"No, I want to eat, I want to eat..."
The fat aunt was so angry that she slapped the little boy on the butt, which made the little boy cry even harder.
Qin Hao was a little impatient when his thoughts were interrupted. He opened his eyes and glared at the little boy. The little boy calmed down and was so frightened that he burst into tears but did not dare to cry.
As a result, the fat aunt was not happy: "Why are you scaring my child!"
"Which of your eyes saw me scaring him?" Qin Hao said with a cold face.
"I saw it with both eyes, and they all saw it, and they can all testify."
The middle-aged man was also quarreled by the little boy just now: "This is your business, don't mess with me, I didn't see anything."
The fat aunt immediately pointed at Xiao Qianxi: "This little girl must have seen it. You two are sitting across from each other. Don't say you didn't see it."
Xiao Qianxi was pointed at the nose by the fat aunt, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Qin Hao knocked on the table impatiently: "It's not over, is it? You can't manage your children yourself, why don't you allow others to do it for you?"
"Why can't I discipline my child? What do you mean, young man, by saying that my child doesn't have a tutor, right?"
"This is what you said yourself. It's up to the people to decide whether your tutor is fair or not. If you don't believe me, let the big guys judge."
The passengers next to me also couldn’t stand it.
"Yes, your son has been crying and they haven't said anything. Why are you so reluctant to let him go?"
"That's right, I saw that this young man didn't say a word the whole time and just glanced at your son. I can't just let him open his eyes, right?"
The fat aunt suddenly lost her temper, and could only vent her anger on the little boy again, and slapped the little boy on the butt several times. As a result, the little boy had tears rolling in his eyes, but he still dared not make a sound.
It wasn't until Qin Hao's eyes moved away from him that the little boy lay in the arms of the fat aunt and began to cry loudly.
The fat aunt thought her son wanted instant noodles, so she had no choice but to buy them for him.
When he had something to eat, the little boy quickly stopped crying.
"You look like you are a student, right? Which school are you from?"
"Qingbei."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Qianxi's eyes: "Are you from Qingbei too? I am a freshman this year."
"Department of Literature."
"Well, I'm from the computer department."
Seeing Qin Hao closing his eyes again, Xiao Qianxi didn't dare to disturb him. It was a long road, so he took out a book to pass the time.
"Come on, put your feet up and get a lunch box, a delicious lunch box."
The conductor pushed a special trolley among the crowd to sell food, and the aroma of food continued to spread in the carriage.
Gulu, Xiao Qianxi held her stomach in embarrassment.
Qin Hao stopped the conductor: "Bring a box lunch."
"Okay, fifteen dollars."
"So expensive?"
The smile on the conductor's face froze: "Then do you still want it?"
"No more."
"Fifteen yuan for a lunch box is too expensive."
"Auntie, your monthly salary is less than 1,500 yuan, which is just enough to buy 100 box lunches. If you were asked to pay for it yourself, would you be willing to eat this crap?" Qin Hao naturally would not spoil her.
"you......."
The conductor pushed the trolley away angrily.
Xiao Qianxi asked curiously: "How do you know her monthly salary is less than 1,500?"
"The general salary of a conductor is around 1,200, and those who run long distances will be a little higher, but it's only a few hundred yuan more. We have relatives who work on the railway, so we know a little bit about it." Qin Hao said casually.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gulu, Xiao Qianxi's stomach growled again, and Qin Hao looked over, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"If you wait patiently for another hour, the price of the lunch box will come down."
"Is this also what your relatives said?"
"Um."
Xiao Qianxi was doubtful and resisted for an hour. She found that indeed, when the conductor pushed the cart to sell, the price of the lunch box had dropped to ten yuan.
Just when Xiao Qianxi was about to pay, Qin Hao said to the conductor: "Can I sell two boxes for ten yuan?"
The conductor hesitated for a moment and looked around. There seemed to be no passengers wanting to buy lunch boxes.
"Okay, I'll sell you two boxes for ten yuan. The young man is pretty good at bargaining."
Qin Hao took out ten yuan in exchange for two boxes of lunches, and handed one of them to Xiao Qianxi.
The latter was stunned for a moment, then took out five dollars from his bag and handed it to Qin Hao. When Qin Hao accepted it, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After eating, Xiao Qianxi said to Qin Hao with some admiration: "It turns out that you can still negotiate the price of the lunch box on the train. You are really good."
"It's nothing, my relatives told me." Qin Hao said casually.
After 28 hours of sitting on the hard seat of the green leather train, even Qin Hao suffered from back pain, let alone Xiao Qianxi. When they arrived at the station, they almost lost their balance and fell onto Qin Hao.
Qin Hao took down the luggage for Xiao Qianxi, and he also carried large and small bags, following the crowds of people pouring in to get off the bus.
"Classmate Qin Hao, there is a school bus from Qingbei ahead."
Xiao Qianxi said to Qin Hao in surprise that this meant she could save money on taking the bus. She had often heard in her hometown that prices in Beijing were very expensive.
Qin Hao carried the woven bag for her, and after verifying the identity of the new student, he got on the school bus to Qingbei.
"Classmate Qin Hao, thank you."
After getting off the car, Xiao Qianxi expressed gratitude to Qin Hao.
"Just call me by my name. If you don't know the name, you think this is an elementary school."
"Pfft~~~Okay then, Qin Hao, my name is Xiao Qianxi, nice to meet you." Xiao Qianxi smiled and extended her hand to Qin Hao.
"How happy are you?"
Xiao Qianxi was confused when asked.
Qin Hao then smiled and waved his hand: "I'm just teasing you, go report it first. It's such a hot day here that everyone will be burned to death."
Xiao Qianxi looked at Qin Hao's back, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After Qin Hao completed a series of reporting procedures, he came to the dormitory where he was staying. In 2001, even the dormitory in Qingbei was not very good. The only advantage was that there were only four people living in one dormitory.
When Qin Hao arrived, there were already two people in the dormitory. One was a tall Shandong man named Gao Feng, who spoke with a strong voice, quite like a Liangshan hero, and the other was a native of the capital, wearing a
The guy with glasses is gentle and his name is Shen Qing.
After Qin Hao put away his luggage, the last roommate in the dormitory also arrived. He was a Wenzhou native named Cao Hexiang. His family was in the wholesale business of small commodities. As soon as he entered the door, he started to look at Qin Hao and the others.
Gao Feng suggested: "Brothers, we will live under the same roof in the next four years and share weal and woe. To celebrate the day we meet today, why don't we find a place to have a drink?"
Soon, this proposal was unanimously approved by everyone. Shen Qing and Cao Hexiang like to have fun, while Qin Hao simply has no money in his stomach. It is rare for them to eat and drink together, so why don't they have a good meal?
As for the question of who pays the bill, Cao Hexiang thinks it should be an AA system, but Gao Feng patted his chest: "I'm paying the bill today. No one is allowed to rob me. I'm in a hurry with whoever robs me. It's just a meal. If I pay AA, who am I looking down on?"
That being said, when finally looking for a restaurant, Gao Feng found a food stall. After looking at the menu, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on, you have to drink today. We are all adults now, no one can care about us." It seemed like Gao Feng was born in a family with very strict upbringing, and he started to let himself go as soon as he came out.
Shen Qing looked at Wenwen, who was actually the best drinker among the three. He drank even Gao Feng and fell down. As for Cao Hexiang, this kid just drank a bottle of beer and stopped drinking.
As for Qin Hao, he was always keen on cooking and drinking, and would only drink when his name was called.
In the end, Gao Feng was carried back by Qin Hao. This guy looked tall and thick, and his ability to drink was really not that good.
Just when Qin Hao and his party were passing by the girls' dormitory, they found a room in the girls' dormitory with a blazing fire.
Not long after, the four girls were carried down by the hostel and the security guard. The girls watching the excitement said that they seemed to have been poisoned by eating wild fungi that were not fully cooked.
"Don't tell me, there are a few pretty girls here, but it's a pity that they came late. Otherwise, if we had a hero to save the beauty or something, maybe we would have found a girlfriend within four years of college." Cao Hexiang smacked his lips.
, calling it a pity.
Shen Qing is also very sultry: "I think the girl with long hair is the prettiest, but I don't know which hair type it is."
After returning to the dormitory, Qin Hao just put Gao Feng on the bed, and the guy jumped up.
"Which one has long hair? Let's see how beautiful she is."
Qin Hao and the other three looked at each other and laughed.
Early the next morning, Gao Feng was ridiculed by Cao Hexiang, which made him almost anxious. He strangled Cao Hexiang's neck and said viciously.
"If anyone dares to say a word about what happened last night, I will die with him!"
After breakfast, Gao Feng, the three guys with strong hormone secretions, made an appointment to go to the Freshman Reporting Office to see the junior girls. Qin Hao had no time to fool around with them. If he didn't think of ways to make money, he would have to empty out the five hundred yuan in his pocket in a short time.
Already.
With a start-up capital of five hundred yuan, it is quite difficult to make money, but this is not a problem for Qin Hao.
With five hundred yuan in his pocket, Qin Hao got on the bus and headed to Zhongguancun.
At this time, Zhongguancun was not as large as in later generations. It was mainly famous for its "Electronics Street", which was somewhat similar to Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen later. It focused on electronic products. Qin Hao met an "acquaintance" along the way.
Dong Ge later founded JD.com.
At this time, although Dong Ge was not as prosperous as later generations, he had already become the largest agent of optical and magnetic products in China at that time, with more than a dozen distribution points across the country, and his personal net worth exceeded 10 million.
Of course, Dong Ge is not Qin Hao's target for the time being. Dong Ge is selling genuine CDs, which have low profits, and the price is still expensive. Qin Hao's goal is something with a small investment and high profit.
"How about classmate, do you want to buy a mobile phone card? The monthly rent is much cheaper than if you apply for it at the business office."
In an inconspicuous small store, the boss greeted Qin Hao attentively, obviously treating him as a fat sheep.
"How much is the cheapest monthly rent for your card? How much does local calling cost per minute? How much does roaming call cost?"
As soon as Qin Hao said this, the boss immediately stopped smiling. This man obviously seemed knowledgeable.
"The monthly rent is 68 yuan, the local call fee is 0.40 yuan/minute, the roaming call fee is 0.60 yuan/minute, the mobile card has a good signal."
Qin Hao shook his head when he heard this: "It's too expensive. Is there a monthly rent of less than fifty yuan? The phone bill shouldn't be too expensive."
"Do you use this for yourself or..." The boss looked at Qin Hao suspiciously.
Qin Hao cleared his throat: "I am from the Qingbei Student Union, and I purchase a batch of phone cards for new students in the school. They are all students from out of town. They must change to Beijing cards. The monthly rent is too expensive and they can't afford it.
"
"I understand, I understand." The boss responded immediately.
"Then just switch to China Unicom. The monthly rent is 48, the call rates are the same as China Mobile's cards, and the signal is pretty good."
"Is there anything cheaper?"
"This...how much do you want?"
"At least five hundred."
"Five hundred tickets? Do you think the monthly rent is 40?"
"The monthly rent is 40. Doesn't it include prepaid phone bills? Don't cheat me."
"That's not possible. If you don't believe me, you can inspect the goods."
