Chapter 1486

The next day, everyone slept happily until seven or eight o'clock, ate breakfast slowly, and after Lin Ji finished the shipyard procedures, the group took a bus and wandered around this city slowly.

The Magic City at this time is a city full of historical sense and industrial atmosphere. Puxi is prosperous but crowded, while Pudong is relatively backward.

They transferred several buses, and the scenery gradually changed from a busy pier to city streets, with high-rise buildings and low old houses intertwined.

Wandering around all day, besides sighing at the prosperity of the big city, they were sighing at the convenience of city transportation.

Ye Yaodong sneered in his heart, this is just where it is.

In a few years, not to mention the Magic City changing greatly, even their countryside will start to change greatly. The roads that should be repaired will start to be repaired, and the big houses that should be built, the families who earn money will also slowly start to build several stories high.

After a whole day, besides returning with a full load, everyone had only wandered around the tip of the iceberg of the city.

This whole day, everyone really witnessed the prosperity of the big city. The day before, everyone had been wandering around the shipyard and pier, and the landscape they saw was very different from now.

Aguang: "The Magic City is really lively, no wonder even the locals say they would rather have a bed in Puxi than a house in Pudong. Those shops really have everything, a whole street is full."

Azheng: "That mall is huge, several stories high, has everything."

Fatty: "We can be considered to have really opened our eyes, never seen so many good things in our lives."

Ye Chengjiang: "I bought several of those Western pocket watches, waiting for when to go back and give them to my sister."

Little: "I wanted to buy everything I saw, fortunately I brought enough money when I went out."

Ye Chenghe: "In my life, I have never taken a bus for so long, this trip was too worth it."

Ye Chengjiang: "That's right, that's right, that bus carries a busload of people back and forth, very convenient."

Azheng: "If only I could take a bus every day when I go out in the future..."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

"Then pray that you can take a bus every day when you go out in the future."

Ye Chenghe: "That's good, saves walking, and saves leg soreness from riding a bicycle."

Ye Chengjiang: "Then I still prefer riding third uncle's motorcycle."

Finally there was an ideal that looked decent, but not much.

"Hey, Dongzi, I heard Baoxing chanting that you want to buy another motorcycle a while ago, why don't you buy one here and ferry it back?"

"That's right, those shop assistants have their eyes on the top of their heads, as if no one can afford it, it's disgusting."

"But I can't afford it..."

"Dongzi can afford it!"

Ye Yaodong nodded, "This is possible, it's convenient to buy a motorcycle in a big city. I'll go see and buy it in these two days and put it in the backyard of the guesthouse for storage. Are you guys buying too?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"We are all at sea, and don't go out much. Besides, in that tiny place, you can finish a circle with a bicycle."

"Dongzi is different, he receives and sends cargo every day, and meets clients, riding a motorcycle is worthy of him."

"That's right, we don't buy, but we can take the money to buy a boat, which can earn money better."

"We don't buy, but we can go to the factory with you to see, and touch it, ride it to satisfy our addiction! Hahaha..."

"Right, that's right, don't go to the department store, go to the factory..."

Ye Yaodong also laughed happily and said: "Fine, I'll buy it tomorrow, and then I'll ride a motorcycle to wander around the Magic City, and you guys run behind me."

As soon as everyone heard, their faces turned black.

"Forget it, don't buy it."

"That's right, don't buy it, we all came together, no reason you ride a car to wander, and we have to run to wander."

"None of your business! I have money, I can't wrong myself!"

"You damn..."

Everyone was cursing, but couldn't stop Ye Yaodong's determination to buy a motorcycle back at all.

Everyone was right, riding a bicycle wasn't worthy of him, no need to suffer and ride a bicycle, no need to suffer hard.

There were quite a few cars on the streets of the Magic City, and there were many taxis in front of some malls and state guest buildings, and there would only be more in the future. He could also be more convenient by buying a motorcycle.

However, when everyone heard that the domestic motorcycle Happiness 250 only cost 2500 yuan the next day, everyone's eyes lit up.

They could all afford this!

Still thought it would cost eight or nine thousand or ten thousand!

The shop assistant's mouth, the ghost of a liar, deliberately said it high to scare them!

"Damn! Old man, that old woman yesterday even told us eight or nine thousand or ten thousand!"

"Scared me with the price!"

"Damn, 2000 plus, as if no one can afford it?"

Ye Chengjiang raised his hand silently, "We can't afford it, right?"

They had also seen motorcycles in the state-run store the day before, but when asked casually, people were impatient and said it would cost eight or nine thousand or ten thousand, because they were all imported.

And those shop assistants had their eyes on the top of their heads, and when they saw them speaking a lame Mandarin, they ignored them and looked down on people.

They cursed and turned around and left. Who cares?

But don't say, there were many people queuing to pre-order.

So on the way back, they instigated Ye Yaodong to buy.

"Just right, everyone buy one, it will be stylish when driving back, domestic is also fine, doesn't have to be that little Japanese devil's."

Ye Yaodong was also very happy, everyone could afford it, and it was only their profit for a month or half a month.

This motorcycle was also a relatively popular domestic motorcycle at the time, using a two-stroke engine, with strong power, and everyone was moved after trying it.

However, after inquiring, the delivery time would be two or three months, because motorcycles are currently scarce large-item commodities in the market.

At this time, the monthly salary of ordinary workers in the Magic City is about 100 to 200 yuan.

Calculated at a monthly salary of 150 yuan, buying a domestic motorcycle requires 1-2 years of salary, while an imported motorcycle requires 3-5 years of salary.

This already belongs to high-consumption luxury goods, and ordinary people will only choose bicycles to travel.

The current economy has just started, and production is limited, but there is never a lack of rich people at any time, and don't underestimate the consumption power of rich people. Many people have bought cars, let alone motorcycles.

Everyone was really moved by this motorcycle. Even if they had to wait for two or three months, they hesitated for a while, and then decisively placed an order and paid the deposit.

It's only the end of July now, and it's only September or October in two or three months, not unable to wait. Compared to fishing boats, the delivery time is already much faster.

However, the money they brought was insufficient, and half of the deposit had to be paid. They only brought one thousand yuan when they came out this trip, and this was still what they specially brought more.

Only Ye Yaodong brought a little more when going out, but he only brought ten thousand yuan, and at this time he only had 3000 yuan on him.

This was because he thought about buying a motorcycle today, so he put so much money on him. He remembered that the factory collects deposits, which is different from the store, and domestic ones don't cost as much as people say.

The money he brought was only enough to lend to one person.

It was also fortunate that Lin Ji brought enough cash, and he helped others pay without saying a word.

Everyone really regarded him as a friend this time.

Paying a deposit for each person, adding up to several thousand yuan, this is not a small amount. What he took out was several years of salary for ordinary people, and he took it out actively.

"Enough courage!"

"Brother, it still has to be you!"

"Thank you, fortunately you brought money, we will give it to you as soon as we go back."

"Old Lin, why did you bring so much money when you went out, haha, fortunately you have it, otherwise we would have to run another trip."

Lin Ji said with a smile: "It's okay, can I be afraid that you will default on the debt? Everyone is a boat boss, a boat owner. It was said that Dongzi would come to buy a motorcycle today, so I brought the money by the way, and also wanted to get one."

"Can do, brought the money without a sound."

"Thinking about being prepared, brought a little more. Who knows if the factory wants a part of the deposit, or must pay the full amount? Looking at the people queuing in the department store yesterday, they were all paying the full amount with large amounts of cash. I also wanted to see if it's better to buy domestic or imported, so I brought more."

"Must be domestic!"

"Right, support domestic! What our country produces is cheap and good, the little Japanese devil is too black-hearted, too shameless, one of his can be worth three or four of ours, damn, the little Japanese devil is not a good thing."

"That's right, I wouldn't let the little Japanese devil earn it even if I lost the money!"

Everyone started cursing again one by one, and the target shifted immediately.

Lin Ji: "..."

He wanted to say, putting aside national hatred, the things produced by the little Japanese devil now will indeed be better than ours, after all, our industry has just started.

However, buying domestic is also not bad, looking just as stylish, and it's not bad to buy the same as everyone else.

"Fine, just bought it, keep the receipt and invoice well, and when it's time to pick up the car, they will call a week or two in advance."

"Hehe, didn't come in vain this trip, and bought a motorcycle back!"

"Mainly cheap, when we transport it back for the New Year, we all drive the same motorcycle, that will be too majestic."

"Hurry up and wipe your saliva..."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone talked excitedly, already foreseeing the scene at that time.

However, Ye Yaodong originally thought he could get it as soon as he bought it, and could ride a motorcycle to wander around the Magic City, but now he can only realize it after a few months.

For the next few days, they still have to rely on buses and two legs to get to every corner of this city.

Mainly because they went to Pudong more, they had already wandered around Puxi that should be wandered in the first few days, and bought everything that should be bought.

Actually, everyone didn't feel much about Pudong. These few days were entirely because Ye Yaodong was enthusiastic about Pudong, so they followed behind his butt to sunbathe.

Anyone can see that Ye Yaodong's fanaticism for Pudong is almost catching up with the sun in midsummer, and some can't understand it.

Compared with Puxi, Pudong has a lower level of development, backward infrastructure, and most areas are farmland, villages, and factory areas.

Pudong's residential areas are dominated by old-fashioned bungalows and low-rise brick and tile houses, with dilapidated houses and poor living conditions.

Farmland and houses near the Huangpu River or main roads are more expensive, and prices in remote areas are lower.

Farmland and houses near factories, schools, or commercial areas are more expensive, and prices in areas with backward infrastructure are lower.

Ye Yaodong had to pull the local old ladies to chat wherever he went. It was because he looked good, was polite, and knew how to praise people, that the old ladies were willing to pay attention to him.

However, he generally tried to find old men to talk to if he could.

Old men are easy, pull two cigarettes and they can smile and treat you as a confidant, can chat about anything.

Old men in Shanghai have better tempers than old ladies.

Ye Yaodong didn't work in vain. While getting sun-baked black, he really managed to inquire about several pieces of farmland and two properties. The most critical thing was that there was also a Western-style house.

Except for individual farmland, the others were all from the same person.

When he found out, his whole person was excited.

He still found out about this from Director Zhang of the Jiangnan Shipyard. Director Zhang is from Pudong. When he was wandering around, he helped a heatstroke old man to the clinic. The old man was Director Zhang's grandfather.

People are still relatively simple in this era, and there are very few people who touch porcelain. When they meet, how can there be no reason to help.

It is also good people have good rewards.

He was treated as a guest of honor, invited home to thank him, and others also took advantage of the meal.

However, no one was embarrassed to eat and drink for nothing. Taking advantage of the meal, they also went to the nearby small shop to buy some cigarettes and alcohol to take over. Originally, no one was short of this money, and they were loose-handed, and willing to be generous.

The Zhang grandfather family saw them so polite, and became even more enthusiastic. Besides adding meals temporarily, they also knew everything and said everything to them.

Only then did they have information about farmland and real estate.

Otherwise, they didn't know how long they would have to wander like headless flies.

Although they wandered in Pudong for several days, this place is not small. A group of them spoke with an out-of-town accent, how could people tell them everything?

They could chat a few sentences, but basically there was nothing useful, only telling him about the daily life here.

Only when they met the heatstroke Zhang grandfather, did they have a turning point.

And Director Zhang also looked at his grandfather's face, and helped him as much as possible, helping to talk.

At the same time, Director Zhang couldn't help but look at him with admiration, feeling that what he said about buying a million fresh-keeping boat was not impossible.

That farmland and real estate and Western-style house added up to several hundred thousand. How can ordinary people buy it casually.

Being able to take out several hundred thousand to buy these, then buying a million fresh-keeping boat is not impossible.

Ye Yaodong had a meal, full of gains, and happily went back to wait for news.

And others also breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to face the hot sun and wander around with him.

Heaven knows how reluctant they were, wandering around blindly every day, and gaining nothing.

They originally planned to wander for another day and then not follow him, preferring to go to the lively places in Puxi to wander and buy things.

"Adong, if it can really be successfully connected, how about sharing a property or two acres of farmland with me?"

As soon as Lin Ji said this, everyone was surprised. Originally, they were still complaining and feeling lucky about Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong was also surprised, "You also want to buy?"

"Right, I have been running around and looking everywhere during this period, and I feel that what you said is very reasonable. Separated by a river, the gap is too big, and the living standards on both sides are too different. I feel that this side will be able to be the same as Puxi sooner or later."

"Damn, no wonder they have been complaining and complaining there for the past few days, and you didn't say a word, it turns out you also looked good."

He smiled, "Right, it's also because I've seen more recently."

Ye Yaodong shook his head, "That won't work, you have to ask Director Zhang to help look again, this is what I tried hard to inquire about and asked for."

Others nodded along.

These few days, they knew how much Ye Yaodong cared, and didn't give up even if it was hot to death.

This bun is almost in hand, how can it be let to others.

However, seeing that Lin Ji also wanted it, they were also shaken in their hearts. Originally, they always thought it was just Dongzi talking nonsense.

If one or two people think so, they can not care, but if two people think so, then they have to weigh it.

What if they really get rich, then wouldn't they slap their thighs?
