The indigenous people on the deck are all "well-informed": the emerging entertainment for the wealthy middle class and above in Guangzhou is to participate in the "Pearl River One-day Tour" of "Ziminglou Entertainment Company": take a paddle boat cruise from
Starting from Baietan, we drove all the way to Macau. When passing through Huangpu Port, we could see various naval warships parked there. So this sight did not arouse much interest in them.
At 16:00 on January 22, the Baiyunshan docked at Ma Niao No. 1 Passenger Terminal. As the gangway was hung up, the two-day and two-night voyage came to an end.
The inspection group was led by the naturalized civilian cadres of the inspection group and got off the passenger ship. After drifting on the sea for two days, as soon as they landed, they felt a little unsteady. The staff of the Planning Institute who came to pick up the station had already greeted the group.
People left the pier through the dedicated exit.
Because Guangdong and Guangxi have been included under the jurisdiction of the Senate, travelers from Guangdong and Guangxi do not need to go through customs declaration and entry formalities. However, those coming from the "disease control risk areas" of Guangdong and Guangxi still have to implement the policy of quarantine for 15 to 20 days.
The inspection team came from Guangzhou, the "safest" city in Guangdong and Guangxi, and naturally did not need to be quarantined. After being taken to a hall and filling out a "temporary household registration form" including health conditions, they could enter Lingao.
In this hall, the Chen family's uncle and nephew finally recognized each other. After the excitement of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land" that both parties knew well, Chen Ding realized that not only Chen Lin but also Chen Yue were here. This surprised him.
Asked them how the brother and sister came to Gao.
"It seems to be a coincidence." Chen Lin said.
Chen Lin decided to cling to Li Yao'er, and after fighting with his second uncle to the end, he started working peacefully in Nansha. He persuaded the craftsmen to come back to work, and helped Li Yao'er debug new machines and promote mulberry fish.
Tang also worked very hard. Li Yaoer was very satisfied with his performance.
Li Yao'er was satisfied with him, but his second uncle Chen Xuan was not. Seeing that his nephew's "Holy Family" was growing stronger and he knew more about guild affairs than he did, in the long run, wouldn't he become something to be reckoned with in front of Chief Li?
He was no longer a figure. So he often muttered in front of Li Yao'er, and at the same time secretly encouraged his men to cause trouble. Less than half a month after Chen Lin returned to Nansha, the situation in Nansha became delicate.
Li Yaoer was also in a dilemma at this time, because both of them were useful to her. In order to temporarily ease the conflict, and to make time for herself to completely resolve the matter, she decided to send Chen Lin away temporarily and use
Chen Xuan and his "little brothers" completed the urgently needed promotion of mulberry fish ponds and the expansion of the silk weaving factory.
It happened that the "Production Capacity Diffusion" plan of the Planning Institute was implemented, and the silk weaving industry was also a part of it. Li Yaoer took this opportunity to sign up Chen Lin for the inspection team and asked him to go to Lingao and start working.
broaden your horizons and gain some new professional knowledge.
Chen Lin heard that he could go to Lingao to study, so he was naturally happy to do so. Originally, he wanted to take Chen Qing with him, but Li Yaoer asked him to take the girl with him. He said that the silk industry will absorb a large number of female workers, and they will need to be trained from now on.
The female technical and managerial staff forced him to take Chen Yue with him.
"... Yue Mei and I came to Lingao just like that. I had a pass issued by Chief Li and took an Australian official ship. It only took one day to arrive in Guangzhou. If we had not set off the next day, it would have been
I wanted to come to my cousin's house to visit him."
"I have been looking forward to your coming, but you told Chen Qing that you couldn't come. I was also very disappointed. Fortunately, Mr. Ding is here!" Wu Yijun said with a smile, "It is God's destiny for our Chen and Wu families to do this.
What a career!" He patted Pai Chen Lin's shoulder with some excitement, "Lin'er, you are really young and promising! You study hard in Lingao. If you want to open a silk factory in the future, my cousin, I will also buy a few shares.
To cheer you up."
"Third uncle, on your end..."
"It's not a problem, it's not a problem." Chen Ding touched his head, which was still wrapped in gauze, and recounted his journey from Sanliang to Guangzhou, "...Although he suffered an unreasonable disaster, at least he is still safe and his wealth is gone.
If people are happy, there is still money to be made in this world!"
Wu Yijun gave a thumbs up: "Brother Shi is really brave!"
Chen Dingdao said, "The deceased is like this, so we still have to look forward in everything. How can we dwell on the past?"
The two were chatting and laughing, and were in high spirits. On the contrary, brother and sister Chen Lin were not in high spirits. After completing the formalities here, Chen Xiaobing came over holding a small flag: "Everyone, you have been working hard on the journey. But I still want to invite everyone.
Hold on for a while longer. After a while, we will take the subway at Maya Station to the hotel where you are staying in Bairen City. Please do not leave the hotel after completing the check-in procedures. At six o'clock tonight, the leaders of the Planning Institute will entertain you."
"He is the one who is fully in charge of coordinating the operation of each company's 'capacity expansion' plan this time. His surname is also Chen. Maybe you were a family five hundred years ago." Wu Yijun joked to Chen Lin.
"Chen Xiaobing's Guangzhou Mandarin is very good. He is probably a local. Maybe he is really a family member." Chen Ding joked.
"Brother, you can ask him for his county hall number. Maybe he can even join the sect and have someone to take care of him in the future." Wu Yijun joked.
Chen Lin was not as interested as the two elders. He knew that the Chen Xiaobing in front of him was not only the "guide" who came to visit and study in Gao, but also the general person in charge of this "production capacity plan". Speaking of which, even if he held such a high position, Guangzhou Industry and Commerce
He is a leading figure in the industry, and the factory he runs is in the hands of this young man who is almost older than himself. Therefore, the big businessmen were very polite to Chen Xiaobing when they saw him along the way. A group of people agreed with what he said.
In comparison, he was too humble among the crowd. The big names in his company were too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Speaking of it, this person is so young, and I heard that his background is even more humble. But he can suddenly rise to a high position. It would be unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty. The Senate has indeed given many people opportunities!"
"Although he relies on the power of the Australians, he is still a promising talent." Wu Yijun boasted. With the help of the Australians, not everyone can sit in this position. Seeing that Chen Lin was not interested, he did not forget to console him.
: "My good nephew is young and promising, and has a family background. He will surely achieve great success in the future."
Chen Xiaobing led the way, and the inspection team took the internal passage, exited the pier directly, and entered Ma Niao Railway Station.
Because they walked through the "internal passage", they did not see the bustling scene of the pier. The two of them could not help but feel a little regretful. Chen Xiaobing laughed and said: "When I dropped off passengers, the passenger passage was blocked. I couldn't finish it even if I waited for half an hour. There were also
Many bus drivers and small business people are too noisy."
Ma'iao Railway Station is one of the important hubs of the Lingao City Railway system. It is the eastern arrival and departure station of the Lingao City Railway. Due to the existence of Ma'iao Port, salt farm, steel company and Ma'iao Fort, the passenger flow here is huge.
It is a first-class station in the Lingao urban rail system.
Because the passenger flow is very large and it is the "gateway" of the urban railway in the east of Lingao, the design and construction of the station are quite sophisticated. It is no longer the "big shed" style building of the past, but a German Renaissance building designed by Qi Feng.
The original design of the architectural style building is the old Qingdao Railway Station. The red brick exterior walls and roof tiles are also copied from the original. Even the cobblestone-paved railway station square looks "full of virtue". Of course, naturalized citizens
We don't know this, they call it "Australian style".
As "guests of the Senate", the inspection group naturally does not need to queue in the square to enter the station. Instead, they go directly through the "VIP channel" and enter the VIP waiting hall to wait for the arrival of the bus.
Chen Lin was sitting on the sofa chair in the VIP room, looking at the waiting hall outside the glass partition. There was a lot of people outside, all of them passengers. Looking at it, almost all of them were naturalized citizens with short hair and short clothes, and there were also some mixed among them.
There are many people wearing military uniforms. There are very few people with bun hair, long shirts or short brown hair.
"These...are all cadres?" Chen Lin asked in surprise.
Chen Xiaobing, who was standing by, suddenly laughed and said: "These are all naturalized citizens. They are not necessarily cadres. These short hair and short clothes are not a status symbol. If you want to change it, you can change it. If you don't want to change it, you shouldn't - it's just that you can't be a senior.
It’s time for the courtyard’s food.”
"So that's it." Chen Lin thought to himself that at last Australians don't force their heads to be shaved! It's much better than the Tatars in Liaodong.
He looked up at the high ceiling of the waiting hall and the huge iron gas chandelier hanging above, and then looked at the dome above the platform in the distance and the huge greenhouse-style glass windows. He felt both novel and a little scared. As an Australian, he
I think of the "railway" from Big World to Dadongmen. The platform at the Dadongmen station is just a high platform made of bricks, and even the awning on it is made of bamboo poles and reed mats. In other words, the station in Big World is more decent.
Compared with here, it is really different.
Lingao is indeed the capital of Australians! Chen Lin thought to himself.
There was a whistle outside, and the train entered the station with a loud voice announcing the station. For the inspection team, neither the train nor the rails were rare things. It would not surprise them. But for those who were new to the station,
For those who came to Ligao, when this steel giant puffing out steam and black smoke panted into the station, their curiosity could no longer be contained, and they all rushed over with a roar. The railway staff and policemen on the cordon line
The police quickly waved their sticks and drove the crowd away from the yellow line.
"Our car has arrived," Chen Xiaobing stood up and waved the small flag in his hand, "please follow me."
The inspection team boarded the "first-class carriage" of the Lingao City Railway. The carriages of the Lingao City Railway have now been upgraded. The open-top third-class carriages of the early years have naturally been eliminated, and selling tickets has become a thing of the past. This first-class carriage is naturally
The gun was also replaced, and the interior and seats were upgraded.
After boarding the passengers, the train whistled and started to slowly start. Chen Lin looked out the window at the slowly retreating scenery and felt the wonderful feeling of being pulled forward by a huge force. A new journey began in this young man's life.
