Chapter 959 A Train Bound for Peking University and Tsinghua University in 2001

"Passengers, welcome to the T8 train. This train will depart from Tianfu West to Beijing West."

Amid the announcement, the train slowly drove out of Tianfu Station. Qin Hao found his seat with his bags. Just as he put his luggage on the shelf and was about to sit down, he saw a girl in a white floral dress gritting her teeth and lifting a huge woven bag to put it on the luggage rack.

So he reached out to help, and the girl gave Qin Hao a slightly stiff and somewhat wary smile.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Qin Hao replied casually, and then sat down in his seat. As a result, the girl happened to sit opposite him.

"Hey, whose suitcase is this? Why put it here? I have no place to put my legs. Can't I put it on the luggage rack?"

A half-bald middle-aged man next to Qin Hao said impatiently.

The girl said with embarrassment: "Sorry uncle, I really can't put it up."

"You can't put it here if you can't put it up. It's uncomfortable to sit hard for more than 20 hours to Beijing, and I can't even stretch my legs."

The girl kept apologizing, but the middle-aged man didn't give in.

Qin Hao couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed the suitcase and stuffed it on the luggage rack.

"Is it okay this time?"

The middle-aged man closed his mouth when he saw that Qin Hao was tall and strong.

"Thank you, I'm bothering you again." The girl said a little embarrassedly.

Qin Hao glanced at the middle-aged man lightly: "It's okay, some people are too noisy, I want to be quiet for a while."

"I still have to thank you, by the way, my name is Xiao Qianxi."

"Qin Hao."

After speaking, Qin Hao closed his eyes and began to think about how to survive in Beijing, yes, it means to survive in the literal sense.

The original owner's family was a poor household, and the tuition was raised by borrowing. This time, he was given 500 yuan to go to school in Beijing. This was not a month's living expenses, but a whole semester. Even if it was 2001, this amount of money could only last for two months at most.

From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Qianxi was a very beautiful girl, and she also attracted many pursuits of the opposite sex. In order to protect herself, she always remained vigilant against the opposite sex. Perhaps Qin Hao's cold attitude made Xiao Qianxi a little curious, and she couldn't help but look at him twice more.

"Sit inside, why do you, a little girl, take up such a seat? Can't you see that I am holding a child?"

"Oh."

A fat aunt holding a little boy of five or six years old sat next to Xiao Qianxi with sweat on her forehead.

Xiao Qianxi had to shrink to the window, just face to face with Qin Hao.

"Mom, I want to eat instant noodles."

The fat aunt said unhappily: "I think you look like instant noodles."

"No, I want to eat, I want to eat."

The fat aunt was so angry that she slapped the little boy on the butt, and the boy cried even harder.

Qin Hao was a little impatient when his thoughts were interrupted. He opened his eyes and glared at the little boy fiercely. The little boy became obedient immediately. He was so scared that he didn't dare to cry out loud.

As a result, the fat aunt was unhappy: "Why did you scare my child!"

"Which eye did you see me scare him?" Qin Hao said coldly.

"I saw it with both eyes, and they saw it too, and they can all testify."

The middle-aged man was also quarreled by the little boy just now: "This is your business, don't pull me, I didn't see anything."

The fat aunt immediately pointed at Xiao Qianxi: "This little girl must have seen it. You two are sitting opposite each other, don't say you didn't see it."

Xiao Qianxi was pointed at the nose by the fat aunt, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Qin Hao knocked on the table impatiently: "You're not done yet, are you? You can't discipline your child, and you don't allow others to discipline him for you?"

"How can I not discipline my child? What do you mean, young man? You said my child has no family education, right?"

"You said it yourself. Whether he has family education or not is in the hearts of the people. If you don't believe me, let everyone judge."

The passengers next to him couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yes, your son has been crying, and he didn't say anything. Why are you so persistent?"

"That's right, I saw that the boy didn't say a word the whole time, he just looked at your son, you can't let him open his eyes, right?"

The fat aunt lost her temper and could only vent her anger on the little boy again. She slapped the little boy on the butt several times, and the little boy's tears kept rolling in his eyes, but he never dared to make a sound.

Until Qin Hao's eyes moved away from him, the little boy lay in the fat aunt's arms and cried loudly.

The fat lady thought her son wanted to eat instant noodles, so she had no choice but to buy them for him.

The little boy stopped crying soon after he had something to eat.

"You look like a student, right? Which school are you from?"

"Tsinghua or Peking University."

Xiao Qianxi's eyes flashed with surprise: "You are also from Tsinghua or Peking University? I am a freshman this year."

"Department of Literature."

"Yes, I am from the Department of Computer Science."

Seeing Qin Hao close his eyes again, Xiao Qianxi did not dare to disturb him. The road was long, so he took out a book to kill time.

"Come on, stop walking, lunch, lunch, delicious lunch."

The conductor pushed a special cart and shuttled through the crowd to sell food, and the aroma of food continued to spread in the carriage.

Gurgle, Xiao Qianxi covered his stomach in embarrassment.

Qin Hao called the conductor: "Give me a lunch."

"Okay, fifteen yuan."

"So expensive?"

The smile on the conductor's face froze: "Do you want more?"

"No more."

"Fifteen yuan for a lunch is too expensive."

"Auntie, your monthly salary is less than 1,500 yuan, which is just enough to buy 100 lunch boxes. If you pay for it yourself, would you be willing to eat this crappy thing?" Qin Hao would naturally not spoil her.

"You"

The conductor pushed the cart away angrily.

Xiao Qianxi asked curiously: "How do you know that her monthly salary is less than 1,500 yuan?"

"The general salary of a conductor is about 1,200 yuan. Long-distance drivers will earn a little more, but only a few hundred yuan more. We have relatives working in the railway, so we know a little bit." Qin Hao said casually.

Gurgle, Xiao Qianxi's stomach growled again, and when Qin Hao looked over, he was embarrassed.

"Bear for another hour, the price of the lunch box will go down."

"Did your relatives say that?"

"Yeah."

Xiao Qianxi was skeptical and resisted for an hour, and found that as expected, when the conductor pushed the cart and hawked, the price of the lunch box dropped to ten yuan.

Just when Xiao Qianxi was about to pay, Qin Hao said to the conductor: "Will you sell two boxes for ten yuan?"

The conductor hesitated for a moment, looked around and it seemed that no passengers wanted to buy lunch boxes.

"Okay, I'll sell you two boxes for ten yuan. You are quite good at bargaining, young man."

Qin Hao took out ten yuan, exchanged for two boxes of lunch boxes, and handed one to Xiao Qianxi.

The latter was stunned, then took out five yuan from his bag and handed it to Qin Hao. After seeing Qin Hao accept it, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After eating, Xiao Qianxi said to Qin Hao with some admiration: "It turns out that lunch boxes on the train can be bargained. You are really amazing."

"Nothing, all my relatives told me." Qin Hao said casually.

After 28 hours of sitting in the hard seat of the green train, even Qin Hao had a sore back, not to mention Xiao Qianxi. When he arrived at the station, he almost fell on Qin Hao.

Qin Hao helped Xiao Qianxi get her luggage down, and he also carried a lot of bags and followed the crowd to get off the bus.

"Qin Hao, there is a school bus for Peking University and Tsinghua University ahead."

Xiao Qianxi said to Qin Hao in surprise, which meant that she could save money on taking the bus. She often heard that the prices in Beijing were very expensive in her hometown.

Qin Hao carried the woven bag for her, and after verifying her identity as a freshman, she got on the school bus to Peking University and Tsinghua University.

"Qin Hao, thank you."

After getting off the bus, Xiao Qianxi thanked Qin Hao.

"Just call me by my name. If I didn't know you were calling me by that name, I would have thought this was elementary school."

"Pfft~~~ Well, Qin Hao, my name is Xiao Qianxi, and I'm glad to meet you." Xiao Qianxi smiled and stretched out her hand to Qin Hao.

"How glad are you?"

Xiao Qianxi was stunned by the question.

Qin Hao then smiled and waved his hand: "I'm just kidding you, go report first, it's so hot, you'll get burnt if you stay here."

Xiao Qianxi looked at Qin Hao's back, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After Qin Hao completed a series of reporting procedures, he came to his dormitory. In 2001, even the dormitories of Tsinghua and Peking University were not very good. The only advantage was that there were only four people living in one dormitory.

When Qin Hao arrived, there were already two people in the dormitory. One was a tall Shandong man named Gao Feng, who spoke with a full voice and had a heroic feeling of Liangshan heroes. The other was a local from Beijing, wearing glasses and was gentle, named Shen Qing.

When Qin Hao put his luggage away, the last roommate of the dormitory also arrived. He was from Wenzhou, named Cao Hexiang, and his family was in the small commodity wholesale business. As soon as he entered the door, he began to look at Qin Hao and the other two.

Gao Feng suggested: "Brothers, we will live under the same roof for the next four years and share weal and woe. To celebrate our meeting today, let's find a place to have a drink?"

Soon, this proposal was unanimously approved by everyone. Shen Qing and Cao Hexiang like to be lively, while Qin Hao is just a simple owner with no money. It's rare to meet a free meal, so he has to have a good meal?

As for who pays the bill, Cao Hexiang thinks it should be AA, but Gao Feng patted his chest and said: "I will pay the bill today, no one is allowed to grab it, and I will be angry if anyone grabs it. It's just a meal, and I'm still AA. Who are you looking down on?"

That being said, when Gao Feng finally found a restaurant, he still found a food stall. After looking at the menu, he was relieved.

"Come on, we must drink today. We are all adults now, and no one can control us." Gao Feng was born in a family with very strict family education. He started to let himself go as soon as he came out.

Shen Qing looked gentle and polite, but he was actually the one who drank the most among the three. He made Gao Feng fall down drunk. As for Cao Hexiang, this guy only drank a bottle of beer and said he would not drink anything.

As for Qin Hao, he was always keen on eating and drinking, and he would only clink glasses when his name was called.

In the end, Gao Feng was carried back by Qin Hao. This guy looked big and strong, but his alcohol tolerance was really not very good.

Just when Qin Hao and his group passed by the girls' dormitory, they found that there was a blazing fire in a room in the girls' dormitory.

Not long after, the four girls were carried down by the dormitory manager and the security guard. According to the girls watching the excitement around, they seemed to have been poisoned by eating wild mushrooms that were not fully cooked.

"Don't mention it, there are a few girls here who are pretty, but it's a pity that I came too late, otherwise I could have a hero saving a beauty or something, and maybe I would have a girlfriend for four years in college." Cao Hexiang smacked his lips and said it was a pity.

Shen Qing is also very sultry: "I think the girl with long hair is the prettiest, but I don't know which type it is from."

After returning to the dormitory, Qin Hao just put Gao Feng on the bed, and the guy jumped up.

"Which one has long hair? Let's see how beautiful it is."

Qin Hao and the other three looked at each other and laughed.

Early the next morning, Gao Feng was ridiculed by Cao Hexiang, which made him almost anxious. He strangled Cao Hexiang's neck and said viciously.

"If anyone dares to say a word about what happened last night, I will die with him!"

After breakfast, Gao Feng, the three hormonal guys, made an appointment to go to the Freshman Reporting Office to visit the junior girls. Qin Hao had no time to fool around with them. If he didn't think of ways to make money, the five hundred yuan in his pocket would soon be emptied. .

With a start-up capital of five hundred yuan, it is quite difficult to make money, but this is not a problem for Qin Hao.

With five hundred yuan in his pocket, Qin Hao got on the bus and headed to Zhongguancun.

At this time, Zhongguancun was not as large as in later generations. It was mainly famous for its "Electronics Street", which was somewhat similar to Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen later. It focused on electronic products. Qin Hao met an "acquaintance" along the way. Dong Ge later founded JD.com.

At this time, although Dong Ge was not as prosperous as later generations, he had become China's largest optical and magnetic product agent at that time, with more than a dozen distribution points across the country, and his personal net worth exceeded 10 million.

Of course, Dong Ge is not Qin Hao's target for the time being. Dong Ge is currently selling genuine CDs, with low profits, and the price is still expensive. Qin Hao's goal is something with a small investment and high profit.

"How about classmate, do you want to buy a mobile phone card? The monthly rent is much cheaper than if you get one at the business office."

In an inconspicuous small store, the boss received Qin Hao attentively, obviously treating him as a fat sheep.

"How much is the cheapest monthly rent for your card? How much does local calling cost per minute? How much does roaming calling cost?"

As soon as Qin Hao said this, the boss immediately stopped smiling. This man obviously seemed knowledgeable.

"The monthly rent is 68 yuan, the local call fee is 0.40 yuan/minute, the roaming call fee is 0.60 yuan/minute, the mobile card has a good signal."

Qin Hao shook his head when he heard this: "It's too expensive. Is there a monthly rent of less than fifty yuan? The phone bill shouldn't be too expensive."

"Are you using this for yourself or..." The boss looked at Qin Hao suspiciously.

Qin Hao cleared his throat: "I am from the Qingbei Student Union. I purchase a batch of phone cards for new students in the school. They are all students from out of town. They must change to Beijing cards. The monthly rent is too expensive and they can't afford it. "

"I understand, I understand." The boss reacted immediately.

"Then just switch to China Unicom. The monthly rent is 48, the call rates are the same as China Mobile's cards, and the signal is pretty good."

"Is there anything cheaper?"

"How much do you want?"

"At least five hundred."

"Five hundred tickets? Do you think the monthly rent is 40?"

"The monthly rent is 40. Doesn't it include prepaid phone bills? Don't cheat me."

"That's not possible. If you don't believe me, you can inspect the goods." (End of Chapter)
