Chapter 104 Give me a cigarette!(1/2)
In the late 1980s, Yangcheng in the south was indeed called the world of flowers.
Guangzhou, which is close to the forefront of reform and opening up in Hong Kong and Macao, was the fashion capital at that time.
Compared with the mainland, Guangzhou is already full of tall buildings, and you can feel the modern atmosphere everywhere, with trendy clothing and novel hairstyles, leading the fashion trend everywhere.
Even people from metropolitan cities such as Beijin and Shencheng came to Guangzhou to find gold.
Most of the vendors selling shoes and clothes in Huating Clothing Market buy goods from here and go back to sell.
The films and TV series related to Guangzhou filmed during this period are even questioned whether they are in line with reality because they are too avant-garde.
After leaving the airport, Tian Xiaoqing sighed loudly.
Wang Lin took a taxi at the airport and headed to the city.
They arrived at Baiyun Airport at around 1:00 noon.
Seeing that it was still early, Wang Lin wanted to find a guesthouse to stay at first, have lunch, and wait until the bank goes to work in the afternoon before redeeming the treasury bonds. If the exchange cannot be completed in the afternoon, then it will be redeemed tomorrow morning and take a flight back to Shencheng in the afternoon.
This arrangement is the most compact and saves the time.
The person who drove a taxi was a middle-aged uncle who talked a lot.
Wang Lin and Tian Xiaoqing were sitting in the back row, while Wu Dazhuang was sitting in the co-pilot.
The driver chatted with Wu Dazhuang in the south and south of the sea: "Are you from Shencheng? You can hear it when you hear your accent. I like to hear the words of Shencheng women the most. What's the Nong, Yi, Alah, it sounds very cute."
Wu Dazhuang thought he was speaking Mandarin very well, but unexpectedly, someone could see through the origin. He said without being outdone: "I also like to hear you Guangdong women speak vernacularly, we, you, they have to take everything, and what else, what, they say so cutely!"
Wang Lin and Tian Xiaoqing looked at each other and smiled, feeling that Wu Dazhuang learned vernacular Chinese with different meanings.
"Uncle, where is the largest clothing market on your side?" Wang Lin asked the driver.
"Clothing market? I don't really understand." The driver shook his head, "Are you here to purchase goods?"
Wang Lin came to Guangzhou later generations, visited Liuhua Clothing Wholesale City, and Baima Clothing Wholesale City, all of which were near the train station and bus station, but these Clothing City were only opened in the 1990s.
It's 1988 now, and Wang Lin's impression is quite blurred, so he asked, but he didn't expect that the driver didn't know it even if he was apart from a mountain.
Most of the people who come to clothing from other places are self-employed. They often travel in groups and have their own chartered cars. Few people act alone, and even fewer take expensive taxis.
When he arrived at the guesthouse, Wang Lin left Tian Xiaoqing and Wu Dazhuang to look at the bags in the room, and he came down to buy food by himself.
There was a young woman at the front desk. When Wang Lin asked her, she knew everything.
"The clothing wholesale market, I know that there is one in the Shahe River and one in the Gaodi Street, where there are all the shoes, socks and clothes."
After hearing what she said, Wang Lin immediately remembered it, yes, it was Shahe Clothing Market and Gaodi Street!
Wang Lin thanked him, went outside to find a tea restaurant, packed three cubes and took them away.
While waiting for the meal, a young woman with meatball hairstyle, wearing a suspender jacket, a leather skirt and high-heeled sandals walked in slowly.
This kind of outfit is so eye-catching in this era that Wang Lin couldn't help but take a look at it.
The woman has a beautiful face, first-class figure, and wearing heavy makeup. She seemed to know how much lethal she has to men. Seeing Wang Lin looking at her, she smiled slightly, shook the Kunbao chain in her hand, sat next to him, took out a box of cigarettes, took out one, put it in her mouth, and asked Wang Lin again: "Do you smoke?"
Of course, Wang Lin smoked, but when he was out, he would not smoke other people's cigarettes casually, so he waved his hand and took out his own cigarette and smoked one.
"Tsk! Zhonghua! Give me one." The gorgeous woman was not polite, and snatched the Chinese cigarette from his hand, took out one, spit out the one from his mouth, held Wang Lin's Zhonghua cigarette, and slapped at him, "Handsome guy, light the fire for me."
Wang Lin lit the lighter on his own and placed the lighter on the desktop: "Look it yourself."
The gorgeous woman gave him a blank look, picked up the lighter, lit a cigarette, and said, "Will you treat me to a meal?"
Wang Lin said: "Why?"
The gorgeous woman giggled, "Don't you like me?"
"Why do you like it, why do you want to invite you to a meal?"
"Oh, handsome guy, you treat me to a meal, I'll give you some benefits!"
"What's the benefit? I don't need it."
"Everyone needs it!" The gorgeous woman spit out a smoke ring. Her lips were covered with gaudy lipstick, which was bright red and adorable. Her teeth were particularly neat and as white as jade.
Wang Lin thought about what kind of woman she was, so he couldn't help but smiled slightly, took out ten dollars, and put it next to her: "I'll treat you to a meal. What do you want to eat, go buy it yourself."
The gorgeous woman stretched out her soft and white right hand, put it on the back of Wang Lin's hand, gently stroked it, then picked up the bill, suddenly leaned over and kissed Wang Lin's face.
Wang Lin was stunned: "You!"
The gorgeous woman opened the Kun bag, took out a business card, and put it in Wang Lin's palm: "If you have time, come and play with me."
Wang Lin looked at the business card and wrote about Lido Nightclub, and there was another name: Su Ya.
This name is very time-honored. In the past thirty years, some literary and artistic young people who love Soviet literature like to give their children Soviet names, such as Lina, Sasha, and Anna, Su Ya, and many others.
"Did your mother give you the name? Your mother likes Soviet literature?"
"Huh, how do you know?"
"Guess."
At this time, the waiter called Wang Lin: "Sir, your takeaway is ready."
Wang Lin responded, took his takeout and left straight.
Su Ya looked at her business card on the table, then looked at Wang Lin's back as she was gone, shrugged helplessly, and said to the waiter: "Xiao Liu, give me a bowl of white-cut chicken rice!"
"Suya, that Kaizi is pretty good, but you didn't catch it!" waiter Xiao Liu giggled.
Su Yan waved her hand: "Go and go, I'm hungry!"
"Do you go to work tonight?" Xiao Liu asked.
"When will I not go to work? Alas! I'm so tired."
"How tired can you be? You're very idle every day."
"When we do things, you can't see it! Those stinky men are hard to serve! Like the man just now, who doesn't even eat the tofu they deliver to the door, it's extinct!"
"Then are you still staying in the nightclub?"
"There's no way! I have my own difficulties. If there is a rich man who is willing to support me, I wouldn't want to go to this class!"
“…”
Let’s talk about Wang Lin returning to the room, having dinner with Tian Xiaoqing and the others, taking a short rest, and then carrying the money downstairs.
While opening a clothing workshop, Wang Lin also went to the treasury bond business twice, and he earned about 200,000 yuan each time. Now he has 2.4 million yuan in cash. He bought another leather bag and divided more than 2 million into five parts. Wu Dazhuang and Tian Xiaoqing each carried two bags, and Wang Lin carried one bag himself.
The three of them walked out of the guesthouse and stood at the intersection waiting for the taxi.
At this time, Su Ya had just come out of the tea restaurant, and she was still holding a toothpick in her mouth.
She saw Wang Lin and the other three, looked at the heavy leather bags in their hands, and couldn't help but giggle, walked up to him, patted Wang Lin on the shoulder: "Handsome guy, we're meeting again."
Wang Lin frowned and ignored her.
"Oh, I won't recognize me so soon? I kissed you just now!" Su Ya said, looking at Tian Xiaoqing standing next to her.
Tian Xiaoqing had a expressionless face and said in a deep voice: "Please get out of the way, otherwise I will be rude to you."
"Who wants you like such a fierce woman? Hehehe!" Su Ya's slender fingers gently stroked Wang Lin's chest and threw a charming look, "Remember to come to find me, handsome guy, I'll wait for you in Lido."
At this time, a taxi came, and Wang Lin waved his hand quickly and then sat in it.
Su Ya actually climbed the car door, bent down, and smiled at Wang Lin inside: "Remember to come and find me! I will give you happiness!"
Wang Lin saw the beautiful scenery in her collar lowered down and turned his head silently.
The car starts.
Wang Lin reached out and waved the air in front of his nose, driving away the inferior perfume smell that Su Ya left on him.
What he couldn't smell the most was the smell of this inferior perfume, which was particularly irritating and unpleasant.
Tian Xiaoqing asked, "Wang Lin, who is she?"
Wang Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Who is she? Can you not see it?"
Tian Xiaoqing said: "I think she looks like a chicken."
"Ask a question knowingly!" Wang Lin shook his head.
When I arrived at the bank, the bank happened to open.
The staff members heard that Wang Lin was going to exchange treasury bills, and they changed as much as they could, and they immediately became very enthusiastic.
Most of the treasury bills of banks are entrusted tasks, and they all want to exchange them for banknotes!
The market for treasury bills here is OK. Treasury bills worth 100 yuan are sold for 96 yuan.
What made Wang Lin happy was that the banks here may be much richer and have more treasury bills. He said he wanted to buy treasury bills of 2.4 million yuan. Without saying a word, the staff mobilized enough treasury bills for him from various branches.
Even though he exchanged 2.4 million yuan of treasury bills, the staff here still treated him casually and did not treat him as a "rich man".
It is worthy of being the forefront of reform and opening up. It seems that there are really many rich people here!
Tian Xiaoqing laughed in a low voice and said, "Wang Lin, let's come here more often in the future? The banks here are relatively rich!"
Wang Lin nodded: "I can see it!"
