MTL - The Science Fiction World of Xueba-Chapter 426 Lancheng
On February 1, 1993, the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, it is advisable to travel.
Early in the morning, Pang Xuelin and Shuiwa finished packing, putting on the new clothes that they bought specifically in the county a year ago, each bringing the six hundred RMB they had saved, and set foot in the eyes of San Shu and San Yuan. Journey to the provincial capital.
"Lin Zizi, where are we going this time?"
Pang Xuelin only said that he was going to the south, but he didn't say exactly where to go.
Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "This money is not enough to go to the south. You have to find a way to make money in the provincial capital."
"Go to the provincial capital to make money? What are you going to do?"
Pang Xuelin shook his head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet, let's go and see first."
"Ok."
Shui Wa nodded, for Pang Xuelin, he was inexplicably convinced.
Of course, Pang Xuelin has never disappointed Shui Wa.
From Linxiong County to Lancheng, the capital of Gannan Province, the distance is only over 300 kilometers in a straight line. For future generations, drive to the highway and it will definitely arrive in three hours.
But in this era, Pang Xuelin got on the bus from 9 am to 8 o'clock in the evening before the car entered the Lancheng Bus Terminal.
When Pang Xuelin and Shuiwa came out of the exit with carrying bags, a group of enthusiastic men and women came on.
"Lad, don't you stay?"
"Tongshun Hotel, ten yuan a night, ten yuan a night."
"Jiaxin Hotel, you can take a hot bath. There are ten Chase shops and thirty standard rooms."
...
All kinds of sounds mixed with Lancheng dialect rushed towards the face.
Shuiwa stepped back subconsciously.
Pang Xuelin greeted him directly, loudly in standard Mandarin: "Let Jean, let Jean, we have someone to pick up, without accommodation."
Soon, the originally enthusiastic group of guests gave up a way to let Pang Xuelin and Shuiwa go out first, and then blocked the others.
After finally getting out of the passenger terminal, Pang Xuelin and Shuiwa stood beside the road, looking at the wide roads around, flowing cars, lined street lights, and the neon lights flashing on the tall buildings. Shuiwa stayed for a while and even forgot I asked Pang Xuelin why he spoke such standard Mandarin.
After hesitated for a long time, he said, "Lin Zizi, this ... this also costs a lot of electricity."
Pang Xuelin smiled and patted Shuiwa's shoulder and said, "Shuiwa brother, this is the provincial capital, where millions of people live."
Later, Pang Xuelin reached out and stopped a passing yellow-faced man, saying to the water baby: "Water baby, go, get in the car."
"what?!"
Shui Wa hesitated a little, until the driver began to urge, and Pang Xuelin got the two of their bags into the car.
Pang Xuelin sat down in the front passenger seat, and Shuiwa went to the back.
Pang Xuelin said to the driver: "Master, I'll give you ten dollars. You'll find me a clean hotel for less than thirty yuan."
"okay."
The driver master rarely received a big list and smiled suddenly: "Brother, are you new to Lancheng?"
Pang Xuelin smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the driver: "We are students of Lancheng University. Isn't this just the end of the new year, hasn't the school started yet? The dormitory over the school is not open yet, we are preparing First stay in the hotel for two days and have a fun time in Lancheng. "
"Oh, it's a college student, disrespectful."
"Master, your taxi business is not bad."
The driver master laughed: "It's okay, and I will make 80 or 90 in one day. Excluding the fuel contract fee, it is good to leave 50 or 60."
Shuiwa, sitting in the back seat, couldn't help but widen her eyes. I never expected that driving a taxi would be so profitable.
Pang Xuelin was not surprised.
In the 1980s and 1990s, taxis were one of the most profitable industries for ordinary people.
What did the taxi driver make then?
Ten years from 1985 to 1995, the national per capita monthly income has gradually increased from 60 to 100 yuan to 300 to 500 yuan, but the monthly income of taxi drivers has remained at around 2,000 to 3,000 yuan for a long time. , Equivalent to per capita in 2019, it is about 50,000 to 100,000 monthly income.
And it's not that you have to be at the top level to have this income. As long as you participate in this industry, you will have such a high income. High-level taxi drivers and poor standards will not have too much disparity in income.
At that time, the taxi drivers were, in a strict sense, self-employed or contractors. Taxi licenses and contract fees were later pushed to sky-high prices, which eventually led to difficulties in taxis in major cities. The root cause was the huge profits in the 1980s and 1990s.
This situation did not gradually ease until the emergence of online taxi platforms.
More than ten minutes later, the driver sent Pang Xuelin and Shuiwa to a place called Juyuan Guest House.
The overall environment of the guest house is good, not only the heating in the standard room, you can take a hot bath, the most surprising thing is the TV.
In the entire Xiaoxinfang Village, only almost everyone has a TV, and they are all fourteen inch black and white TVs.
The Juyuan Guest House turned out to be a 21-inch color TV.
Shuiwa looked around the environment, she was curious, she was glad, and she was worried.
"Lin Zizi, my grandmother brought us a total of 1,200 yuan. They lived so well, and the money didn't have to be spent."
Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "Relax, Brother Shui, let's stay here for a few days and go out tomorrow to find a house."
Shui Wa nodded, then a little curious again: "Lin Wazi, your Mandarin is so good? Also, why did you lie to the driver that we were college students?"
Speaking of college students, there was a glimmer of longing in Shuiwa's eyes.
In this era, college students are truly heavenly pride. Although a few years later, as the university expands and jobs are no longer distributed, college students also fall into the altar.
But in most people's minds, college students are still the true elites of this era.
Pang Xuelin smiled: "I learned Mandarin from the coal yard Yang Yang. As for cheating him as a college student, Brother Shui, we came to Lancheng in an unfamiliar place. We must let people know that we also have roots in Lancheng. . Or what if someone pulls us into a remote corner and wants to do something to us? "
"Oh."
Shuiwa nodded.
The law and order environment in this era is far from the level of later generations. Car bandits and road bullies are rampant. In addition, PRC DNA fragment amplification technology is far from mature. Criminal cases in the society remain high, but the rate of detection is not high.
The same goes for evaporating outsiders.
Although Pang Xuelin is not afraid, it is better to have as little trouble as possible.
After they settled in the guest house, they went out and ate bowls of noodles before returning to the room to rest.
Shuiwa rarely watched TV once, and the Hong Kong version of "Sculpture Carving" broadcasted on TV was very addictive.
Pang Xuelin lost interest after a few glances. Although this film is classic, after all, the production level is placed there, Pang Xuelin does not have that nostalgic feeling.
Early the next morning, Pang Xuelin took Shuiwa out to hang out.
Juyuan Hotel is located near Lancheng University. Pang Xuelin first took the water baby around the Lancheng University.
Although Lancheng's economy is not ranked in the country, in this era, Lancheng University has a well-known presence in the country.
As one of the fourteen comprehensive universities that existed at the time of the founding of the People's Republic, Lancheng University's chemistry, physics, ecology, life sciences, geography, meteorology, and mathematics, each discipline can be stable in the first place in domestic academic The square matrix, organic chemistry in chemistry, magnetism in physics, ecology, and physical geography are the top three existences in China.
Even in the later generations, due to the geographical environment, Lancheng University was hired by eastern universities for a large number of high-level teachers, and its strength declined severely, but it still maintained the title of 985 University and still has strong strength in the basic science field.
Lanta is like a hidden school, disconnected from business, much less utilitarian and savvy, holding the kind of academic seriousness and persistence that continued from the last century, as well as rigidity and little flexibility.
The school has a very good academic style, meticulous undergraduate education, everyone holds high academic ideals, and knowledge still maintains a high and sacred status in Lanzhou.
Pang Xuelin first came out with Shuiwa after a circle in Lanta, and then began to inspect the business environment of the surrounding communities.
After coming to this world, Pang Xuelin didn't expect to be able to make his mark in the academic world in a short time.
After all, a half-year-old child who is only 17 years old and has graduated from the third grade of elementary school suddenly has the world's top academic level, which is a bit too scary.
He needs a suitable platform to show his talent.
In addition, after entering this world, Pang Xuelin was not prepared to take the academic route alone.
After nearly half a year of understanding, Pang Xuelin found that although the world as a whole is not very different from the real world, there are many differences in some details.
For example, Huaxia has not experienced a buzzing. Although there is a certain gap in technological development compared with Western countries, it is still in the forefront of the second echelon.
Space science and technology are even more advanced than ever.
Since the Americans landed on the moon in the 1960s, the Soviet N1 rocket has not failed, and the Soviet astronauts have been successfully sent to the moon, and a lunar base has been established.
The success of these two superpowers on the moon has stimulated global investment in the aerospace industry.
By the 1980s, ESA had also completed its mission to the moon.
The United States completed the research and development of the space shuttle in the mid-1970s and successfully launched it. The Soviet spacecraft Blizzard was also successfully launched into space by the Energy rocket in the early 1980s.
Subsequently, the low-Earth orbit space station, the space solar power plant, the synchronous orbit space station, the lunar orbit space station, and the Lagrange space station were successively established.
Even with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States has not relaxed its investment in space, and even the Mars landing program is now on NASA's agenda.
China is not far behind in this regard. Although it has not yet landed on the moon, China's space shuttle program has entered the schedule and is expected to launch in a few years.
And with the progress of the industrialization of space, newspapers have begun to say that in the future, the regulation of the civil aerospace industry will be liberalized.
Therefore, Pang Xuelin decided to accumulate a wealth and capital that would allow him to enter the space industry as soon as possible before opening up the civil aerospace industry.
After all, the Chinese Solar Project was not originally established for pure interstellar exploration. To complete the interstellar exploration plan, Pang Xuelin needed a truly interstellar spacecraft.
It is impossible for him to wait until two or three decades after the "China Sun" is retired before going on his stellar exploration program.
...
On the third day after arriving in Lancheng, Pang Xuelin and Shuiwa found a small two-bedroom yard near Lanta and lived there. At sixty yuan a month, Pang Xuelin paid a half-year rent at one time.
However, Pang Xuelin still didn't tell Shuiwa what to do. He took him out every day to go around here and there, sometimes even daring, and took Shuiwa to Landa to take classes.
Shuiwa almost scared to death. When in the classroom, she dared not look up at the teacher on the podium.
Of course, even if he saw it, he couldn't understand it.
Pang Xuelin looked unpretentious, and even evaluated the teaching level of these teachers.
Of course, going to the University of Lanzhou is just a transfer. Most of the time, Pang Xuelin took the water baby to walk around the streets and count the number of shops near the University of Lanzhou, the development of the catering, clothing and other industries.
One day, he also specially let Shuiwa squatting at the door, counting the number of students entering and leaving the University of Lanzhou every day.
After nearly a week of understanding, Pang Xuelin had the bottom of his mind.
Although the historical details of this world have changed to some extent, China's economic development level is similar to that of previous lives.
Now is the era when China's private economy is booming.
The most profitable occupations that individuals can engage in are all concentrated in industries such as self-employed, private contractors, and small workshops.
Because self-employed people are too profitable, the whole nation's launching into the sea has become a trend, and even the county head and mayor have resigned to the sea.
Intellectuals have become the main force of going to the sea. It is not as good as a doctor to go to the atomic bomb salary level to sell tea eggs after graduating from elementary school. This apparently unfair treatment has caused a significant loss of practitioners in the technology field ~ www.novelbuddy. com ~ As long as you resign and go to the sea, doing anything is better than doing technology.
In the real world, in order to reverse this, only in the mid-1990s did the state consciously and comprehensively improve the treatment of intellectuals.
Moreover, after the mad voyage to the sea in the 1980s and 1990s, the number of self-employed individuals has been severely saturated. The most urgently needed by the fast-growing Chinese economy is no longer low-end manual laborers, but technicians.
The demand for technical talents is due to the huge loss of the previous decade, the insufficient supply of higher education in China, and the huge demand caused by the rapid economic development and the emergence of a large number of companies that have sprung up. The phenomenon of oversupply has promoted the rapid increase in wages of technicians. After entering the university, he became a white-collar worker, which is synonymous with Guangzong Yaozu.
Intellectuals are no longer despised, and the college entrance examination has become synonymous with carp.
By the end of the decade, the huge shortage of supply on the one hand increased the wages of scientific researchers rapidly, and on the other hand prompted the country to carry out educational reforms. Universities began to expand their enrollment in an attempt to alleviate the shortage of college students.
