In mid-July, the sun is blazing in Jiangcheng. The temperature in the morning is 30 degrees. There is no wind, and you are sweating every time you move. The weather forecast predicts that the highest temperature during the day today will be 38 degrees.
"We will meet in Shanghai, goodbye!"
At seven o'clock in the morning, the employees had not yet gone to work. Sun Jian and his team of five had breakfast in the canteen, filled the water bottles and put them in the trunk. Sun Jian got into the cab and greeted everyone. Those who stayed in the company guest house last night Ling Feng, Chen Minguo, Zhao Hongde, Zhang Liping, Li Liangshan, Qiu Sicai and Li Changsheng came to see him off.
They will take the 11:20 a.m. train with Li Tao and Zhou Zhiping at Jiangkou Railway Station and arrive in Shanghai at around 6 p.m. tomorrow. On Tuesday morning, Li Tao will take everyone with the bill of lading and car purchase invoice to Shanghai Volkswagen. The car company went to queue up to pick up the car. According to the salesperson, he was unlucky and there were so many people buying the car that he had to wait a week before he could pick up the car.
"Goodbye Mr. Sun!"
…
"I'll drive to Huangzhou, and then you three will drive in turn. We'll rush to the Ancheng store for dinner today."
Sun Jian closed the car door, put on his seat belt, started the car, and lowered the window. Chen Jie got into the passenger seat so that he could give directions to Mr. Sun. Li Tao took the car he drove to check the work of the Gan Province Branch and the Wan Province Branch. Avoid taking National Highway 316 and 206.
"Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
hey-hey……
Wu Jie, Ye Mao and Zhu Junsong got into the back row with smiles on their faces. They sat in the air-conditioned car and followed Mr. Sun to Shanghai to pick up the car. They had delicious food and drinks along the way, which was equivalent to a free trip. When they thought about the inspection work in the future Driving Santana, the three of them were in a happy mood.
Zhu Junsong has not yet obtained his driver's license. At this time, cars were still a luxury product and there were no specialized driving schools. He would find a master by himself, and the master would lead his apprentice. Once he learned how to drive, he would go to the examination room hosted by the traffic brigade to take the test.
It is 350 kilometers from Jiangcheng to Anseong. Although there are no expressways along the way in this era, there are very few vehicles on the national highway and there will be no traffic jams. The Crown car with superior performance can run about 60 kilometers. Chen Jie said that ten hours is enough .
It is more than 820 kilometers from Jiangcheng to Shanghai. In the previous life, it took eleven hours to drive on the Jianghu Expressway.
In his previous life, Teacher Sun and two colleagues rode bicycles to Shanghai and Hainan during the summer vacation of 1990. The three of them rode along the 316 National Highway and the 206 National Highway on the south bank of the Yangtze River, starting from Jiangcheng and passing through Echeng. , Huangzhou, Yangcheng, Ruicheng, Hucheng, Pengcheng, Dongcheng, Ancheng, Tongcheng, Fancheng, Wucheng, Ma'ancheng, Jinling, Zhencheng, Dancheng, Changcheng, Wucheng, Sucheng, Kuncheng, arriving Shanghai Puxi Bund.
There are few vehicles on the road. At noon, the sun is so hot that the asphalt on the road will soften. After lunch, I will lie under the shade of the tree (bringing a mat) to rest until three o'clock. Then I will go to Lake City and take a ferry. Three The young man brought his own car repair equipment, water bottle, sun hat, sunglasses and medicines such as heatstroke prevention and cooling. Along the way, he talked and laughed, stopped and walked, and looked around. He was as dark as an African, and his second layer of skin was peeled off by the sun. , but did not encounter any danger. When visiting the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, I heard the news of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait from the radio...
It took thirteen days on the way there, and it also took two days and one night to return to Jiangcheng by boat (for bicycle transportation). After so many years, I looked at the traffic map again, and my memory was completely restored. Combined with Chen Jie's narration, last night on the map of China The route map was drawn and the itinerary was planned.
In terms of tourism, Wu Jie and Chen Jie, who have served as special forces, are not on the same level as Sun Jian, who has experienced a lot.
In his previous life, Sun Jian took long-distance buses, trains and planes six times, and once drove himself on the Jianghu Expressway to Shanghai and Shanghai. Pudong changed more and more each time, but none of them was as fulfilling and unforgettable as when he was riding a bicycle when he was young.
During this period, there would be no robbers driving on the national highway in broad daylight, but just in case, Sun Jian asked Chen Jie and Wu Jie to sit on them.
Five young men, whoever robs will be unlucky?
Along the way there are Echeng store, Huangzhou store, Jiangzhou store, Ancheng store, Chicheng store, Tongcheng store and Ma'ancheng store. Before entering Jiangsu Province, you don't need to worry about parking, accommodation and dining.
Sun Jian drove there, taking Zhu Junsong, the manager of the Gan Province branch, and Ye Mao, the manager of the Wan Province branch, intending to inspect the operating conditions of the branches along the way and the mental outlook of the employees? The plan is to go to Ancheng on the first day, Jinling on the second day, and meet Li Tao in Shanghai on the third day. He also plans to go to Pudong, which is now looked down upon by people in Shanghai, to see if he can buy a piece of land or a loss-making business. A bankrupt township enterprise?
The wool comes from the sheep!
Earn back the nearly one million yuan spent on five Santanas.
I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong!
During this period, if you stand on the Bund at night and look across the Huangpu River, you will see the desolate Pudong with dim lights, criss-crossing streets, and dogs and chickens chatting among each other!
Pudong is still a backward rural area in the eyes of Puxi people. Many Puxi mothers would rather their daughters break up in love than allow them to marry in Pudong. The roaring Huangpu River is like a natural chasm, erecting an invisible barrier in the minds of Shanghai and Hainan people.
During this period, commercial housing in Puxi was less than 1,500 yuan per square meter, and in Pudong was less than 1,000 yuan!
Jiangcheng Taobao Electrical Appliance Company bought a township enterprise that was on the verge of bankruptcy. When Pudong New Area was established in 1992, it earned back five Santanas!
In addition to Sun Jian knowing some things that will happen in the future, the most important thing is that Jiangcheng Kunpeng Software Company's bank account now has a large amount of advance receipts. Otherwise, a clever woman can't make a meal without straw, and a penny can't help a hero!
goodbye!
goodbye……
The car drove smoothly out of the company gate under the attention of everyone.

"According to the current construction speed, everyone will be able to move into the new house before the Chinese New Year. Ye Mao, have you dated a girlfriend?"
Today is Sunday, there is no traffic or people going to work, the car can drive sixty yards, the cool breeze is blowing, the heart is relaxed and happy, Sun Jian does not speak, everyone is embarrassed to talk.
"Mr. Sun, I have a girlfriend, and we will get married when we get the company's new house!"
"Congratulations, I'll go have a wedding drink then!"
"Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
"Chen Jie, do you prefer to drive a car or be a security supervisor down there?"
Chen Jie is the third batch of special retired security guards recruited last year. They are all comrades of Wu Jie, Zhang Hongtao and Li Jianwu in a company or unit. The first batch consists of 12 people, the second batch 8 people, and the third batch 25 people. As Taobao electrical appliances branches increased to forty, most of these forty people took up the positions of security guards or delivery supervisors or deputy supervisors. Wu Jie also became a manager, Zhang Hongtao became a store manager, and Li Jianwu became a deputy director. Store manager.
