Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1460 Research Route
After they had filled their stomachs, they went to find a guesthouse.

This was also the result of their discussion while eating.

It was so hot at noon that everyone was sweating profusely just by walking the short distance to the shore.

After adding a bowl of hot noodle soup, the sweat started pouring down like rain, and everyone took off their clothes and went shirtless.

Only Ye Yaodong was still properly dressed. He would lift up his shirt and wipe his face from time to time. He was worried about getting sunburned and peeling under the scorching sun.

After asking the shop owner about the location of the guesthouse, they went straight there.

It’s not far away, there is one nearby. It’s close to the dock, so it’s convenient for traveling and shipping, and it’s easy to travel.

"Dongzi, where should we go after we find a guesthouse?" A Guang felt a little unsure.

They followed Ye Yaodong out of passion, and in the past few years they mostly did whatever Ye Yaodong said.

Especially A Guang, he has made a lot of money in the past few years.

Fatty also started his own business at the instigation of Ye Yaodong, and now he is doing very well and making a lot of money.

They have already developed conditioned thinking and are used to listening to him in everything and taking his opinions as the main consideration.

That's why when they heard that Ye Yaodong was coming to Shanghai, everyone followed him. It happened that they had hired workers to work on the ship for them. They were idle and had money. Mainly, they were the type who couldn't stay at home, so of course they followed him.

Now that they were in an unfamiliar place, they were all like headless flies, unsure of what to do, and all looked at him.

"Find a guesthouse and go tell Ah Shang where we're staying. It's already 3 o'clock. Do you plan to go for a walk around the Huangpu River or take a bus directly into the city?"

"what?"

They don't know.

Several people looked at each other and no one said anything.

Ye Yaodong held his forehead with his hand, they were all like headless flies.

"Haha, Dongzi, what do you think?"

"Donzi, once you've made your decision, we're all fine with it."

"Listen to you."

Ye Yaodong said helplessly: "After settling down, let's tell Ah Shang where to stay, and then ask people around us where the Jiangnan Shipyard is and how far the city is from here. We should find out what we should find out first, otherwise we will know nothing and be like a headless fly. Where can we go?"

"Haha, you're right."

"Hey, we'll do whatever you say. We'll go wherever you go. Just do whatever you want. You don't have to ask us."

"Yeah, just make your own decision. I followed you here in the first place, so I'll listen to you."

"alright."

That's good, because it avoids the situation where everyone has an idea, and there are so many people with so many ideas that you don't know who to listen to.

It would be easier if everyone listened to him, just like going out with a group of obedient bodyguards.

After the agreement, they continued on to the guesthouse and booked a room according to their needs. Ye Yaodong and his two nephews stayed in one room, and the other four stayed in one room.

He didn't have to worry about the rooms on Linji, and he didn't know how they were arranged. After all, he still had workers on board.

"It's still more convenient now. I don't need a letter of introduction to go anywhere."

"We said it doesn't matter if we don't have a letter of introduction."

“Why don’t we have the ID card they mentioned?”

"Do the people in Magic City have it?"

"Dongzi, how do you know that it hasn't been popularized to our place yet?"

When they just checked into the room, the front desk asked them to show their ID cards. They were confused because they had no idea what an ID card was.

Only Ye Yaodong reacted and said that it had not been collected yet in their hometown. Then they discussed paying a little more money and opening a room for them first.

In 1984, Beijing was the first city to launch a pilot program for issuing licenses, followed by nine other cities including Shanghai and Tianjin.

In September of the following year, the Resident Identity Card Regulations were already in place, providing a legal basis for the full issuance of identity cards.

In 1986, ID cards were officially issued nationwide. In accordance with the five-year centralized issuance plan of the State Council, all regions carried out the issuance of ID cards in phases and batches, from cities to rural areas.

Their place is a rural area within a rural area, and it is not their turn for collection yet, but I have heard about it in the city.

Taking the villages as units, we began to collect photos and information and gradually completed the universal application of identity cards.

Going village by village, it probably won’t be long before it’s their turn.

Ye Yaodong remembered that in his previous life, it seemed that it was near the end of the year when village cadres went door to door to inform them to prepare photos in advance and wait for the police to come and register their information.

He estimated that if it wasn't this year, it would probably be the end of next year, and no later than 1990.

"I heard from my mother that the police and neighborhood committee staff in towns and cities have been going door to door to promote the application for personal ID cards. It won't be long before it's our turn in the village."

"I saw the little card they just gave me. It's quite convenient. It's just a small, soft card."

"This is much better than a paper letter of introduction. You don't have to fold it or spread it out. You just need to take it out and show it."

"Once our family can issue us personal ID cards, it will be convenient for us to go out in the future."

"Ah."

"This is the Demon City. We saw things we haven't seen before when we first arrived."

"There are so many things we haven't seen. When we get to the city, I guarantee everyone's eyes will be dazzled. So let's go back to our rooms, put down our things, and then gather in the hall? Then go out together?"

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Everyone became more obedient. We encountered difficulties as soon as we came out, but fortunately Dongzi solved them.

They went to their room, put down their luggage, sat for a while, and then went downstairs.

According to Ye Yaodong, we should go to the dock first. It will be convenient to inquire about things at the dock.

Zhanghuabang Wharf is 20 to 30 kilometers away from Jiangnan Shipyard. It takes more than an hour to get there by bus, and you have to go around half of Shanghai.

It’s not a good time to go now, so we can only wait until the next day.

To go to the city center, it is also about 20 to 30 kilometers and takes one or two hours by bus. At this time, the city center is not Lujiazui, but Huangpu District.

Shopping is mainly concentrated in the traditional commercial areas of Puxi, such as the No. 1 Department Store in Shanghai, Hualian Department Store, Chenghuang Temple, Nanjing Road, Huaihai Road, North Sichuan Road, Yuyuan Shopping Mall, Xujiahui, etc.

When they asked the old men who were sitting at the doorstep to enjoy the cool air, they were almost confused by the pile of place names.

Fortunately, Ye Yaodong was well prepared and brought paper and pen. He took them out to take notes and asked the other person to repeat it again and speak slower.

A good memory is not as good as a bad writing.

What's more, they were just country bumpkins who didn't even know the way and had no idea where to go. The same went for Ye Yaodong. He could only ask around and remember things, and then go around in his free time.

I came here originally to broaden my horizons. It's best to look everywhere and remember all the place names that need to be remembered. If there are any that I don't know later, I can ask others to add to it and make comparisons at the same time.

Ye Yaodong just smoked two cigarettes and got a lot of useful information from the questions. It was quite effective.

By the time they finished asking questions, more than half an hour had passed. They didn't need to go anywhere. It was almost 5 o'clock, and the sun was still very bright outside. He simply continued to sit and chat with the old man, and learn more about the Magic City these days, so as to avoid being exposed to the sun.

If others can't sit still, they can stroll along the Huangpu River.

As soon as he finished speaking, they walked out immediately.

Anyway, he has made the arrangements, so we don't have to think about it and just leave him here.

Ye Yaodong looked at everyone walking into the sun again and shook his head. He thought they would be sunburned to death. He didn't want to be sunburned anyway. The sun was still very hot at the moment.

When it's six o'clock and the sun is about to set, it would be a good time to take a stroll along the Huangpu River and enjoy the breeze.

These idiots.

The unloading location at Linji was not far from where he was enjoying the cool air. When he slowly walked over with a boatload of workers, Ye Yaodong was the first to wave to him.

"Are you going to eat first, or go to the guesthouse to arrange accommodation first?"

"Go reserve a place to stay first, otherwise there won't be any rooms if you're late."

"Okay, I'm free too, I'll take you there."

Lin Jishang looked around and asked, "Where are the others?"

"I went to bask in the sun."

"???"

"Let's bask in the sun along the Huangpu River for a while and see how the sun here is different from the sun at home."

"That's a big difference. It's very hot here, but it's very sunny and cool at home."

The two chatted as they walked, and Ye Yaodong also asked him about his plans for the next few days and when his return ship would leave.

"It's seven days later. We'll have to collect a batch of goods in the next few days before we can set off. What were you doing sitting there just now? Why weren't you with your friends?"

"Didn't I tell you? They went out to bask in the sun. I didn't want to, so I just sat there and chatted with the old man and got to know the Magic City at the same time."

He also showed his manuscript by the way, but no one understood it.

I took a quick look at it and even got closer, but still couldn't understand what was written.

"Since you have asked clearly and understood, I will follow you."

"Have you been here before?"

"I've been here a few times."

Ye Yaodong slapped his thigh and said, "You should have said it earlier! They are all pigs, they don't know anything. When I asked them, they all looked at me."

"It's okay, there are lots of people and it's fun and there's company."

"Then why don't I just follow you?"

"Let's discuss with each other. I don't know anyone there, and I don't know everything. What's more, things are changing with each passing day. I can see differences even if I haven't been here for a few months."

"Okay, let's discuss it together. I plan to go to Jiangnan Shipyard tomorrow. Are you going? Who will arrange your cargo?"

"I have an assistant. I plan to leave someone here to receive the goods and rent a branch nearby. I will definitely need long-term transportation in the future, so a decent branch is a must. If I'm arranging freight now, I'll do it for my friend."

"So you won't be joining us tomorrow?"

"Well, let's rent a house tomorrow. Once it's rented, I'll go apply for a telephone installation, and I'll join you guys the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I advise you not to rent a house, buy one if you can."

"I hope so too, but it's not easy."

"Then just buy a piece of land and build a network yourself. It would be best if the area is large enough to build a warehouse."

“You’re right, but it depends on luck, there may not be anyone who will sell it.

When Ye Yaodong returned to the guesthouse, several people had not returned yet. He didn't care about them. Since he couldn't find them, he knew he had to go back to the guesthouse.

While he was in the guesthouse, he went to the front desk to ask carefully about the place names he had just memorized.

The receptionist was initially patient with him because he was handsome, but later got tired of his questions and simply threw him a map of Shanghai.

This made Ye Yaodong very excited, this is what he needed right now!

I asked him a lot of place names, but he had no idea of ​​a specific location.

With a map, he can find the right place, and then study the route carefully and decide how to travel in the next few days.

This map is quite comprehensive, with Pudong and Puxi marked out. Ye Yaodong looked excited as he looked at it. He could just look at the map to find Pudong when the time comes.

The Oriental Pearl Tower and Lujiazui both belong to Pudong, located on the east bank of the Huangpu River, across the river from the Bund. The Huangpu River can be seen at a glance on the map.

However, there was no Oriental Pearl Tower at that time. Lujiazui was an area dominated by farmland, factories and low-rise residential areas.

Ye Yaodong looked at the map and smiled so hard that his mouth was crooked. He immediately took out money and bought the map from the front desk.

I'm so sleepy, my brain is like paste, my eyelids are drooping, I'm going to sleep first, and I'll write another chapter during the day
