Chapter 168 Don’t you understand big data?
"Changhe, let's go!"
"goodbye!"
In the dormitory, several classmates who had packed their luggage waved to Li Changhe, then left with their bags.
"Changhe, what are you going to do during the summer vacation?"
Lao Tao packed up his things, came down with his bag, and asked Li Changhe.
"I haven't decided yet, but I might go on a long trip to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of my motherland!"
Li Changhe said to Lao Tao with a smile.
"What a life you have, kid. Okay, I'm leaving now. Have a great summer vacation and see you next semester!"
Lao Tao waved his hand and left with his bag.
Li Changhe looked at the last person in the dormitory.
"Gangzi, why don't you pack your things?"
On the bunk opposite Li Changhe, Yi Gang was still sitting quietly by the bed reading a book.
"Changhe, you go first. I'm not going back to school for the time being. It's okay to go home, so I might as well stay in school!"
Yi Gang said to Li Changhe with a smile.
Li Changhe nodded: "Okay, then you continue to study, I'm leaving first!"
In terms of learning enthusiasm, he is indeed far behind Yi Gang.
After leaving the dormitory, Li Changhe rode his bicycle, and then at the school gate, he met another young man who was about to leave on a bicycle.
"Brother Changhe"
Zhao Yong greeted Li Changhe shyly.
Zhao Yong had great respect for this prominent figure in the Economics Department. He often played basketball with him on the court and was quite familiar with him.
"Go home, Zhao Yong!"
Li Changhe greeted him with a smile.
"Correct!"
"Okay, see you next semester!"
After waving goodbye to Zhao Yong, Li Changhe rode out, and then he suddenly remembered something.
I don’t know whether Chairman Chen has gone to Hong Kong Island now.
After returning home, Li Changhe put his things down and then took out the application he had written.
While it was still early, Li Changhe took the application form and took a bus to the city.
I went to the National Tourism Administration and handed the application to Director Lu.
"I thought you weren't going to go!"
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu!"
Soon, Director Wu's secretary walked in.
"Look, Li Changhe's application has been submitted. Take him to go through the other formalities."
"Ok!"
"Changhe-san, follow me!"
Secretary Wu naturally knew Li Changhe. After all, there were not many young people who would come here for no reason.
After leaving Director Lu's office, Secretary Wu personally took Li Changhe to complete various procedures.
"By the way, Changhe-san, what kind of transportation do you want to choose for this trip?"
"I can help you get a letter of introduction for a sleeper train ticket, or a letter of introduction for an airplane ticket."
"The price of a soft sleeper on a train may be cheaper, but for a plane, it's more expensive."
Secretary Wu said to Li Changhe with a smile.
"Let's take a plane. The sleeper couchette takes too long."
Li Changhe thought for a moment and said to Secretary Wu.
There is no direct flight to Hong Kong Island now. Whether coming from Hong Kong Island to the mainland or from the mainland to Hong Kong Island, you have to pass through the Luohu Port in Guangdong Province and then change transportation.
Therefore, Li Changhe’s journey was to go to Guangdong Province first, then cross the border from Guangdong Province and then go to Hong Kong Island.
The letter of introduction that Secretary Wu gave Li Changhe was a letter of introduction to Guangdong Province.
Then to go through customs there, Li Changhe had to go through the customs procedures again.
"Okay, let's fly an American plane. How about a Boeing series? The riding comfort is much better than the former Soviet Ilyushin aircraft."
"Of course the price may be higher, a ticket is close to two hundred dollars, but I think it's nothing for you."
Secretary Wu said to Li Changhe with a smile.
Li Changhe nodded: "No problem, I can do anything."
Currently, there is only one airline in the country, Civil Aviation, which operates a mix of old and new aircraft models.
The old ones are the Ilyushin aircraft purchased when China and the Soviet Union were on good terms, and the new models are the ten Boeing passenger planes purchased after the ice-breaking of Sino-US relations in 72.
It is expensive to fly these days. A ticket for a Boeing like this one from Beijing to Guangdong province costs nearly two hundred yuan.
However, Li Changhe remembered that there were quite a lot of benefits on airplanes these days, and he really wanted to see them.
"All right!"
After completing all the formalities, Secretary Wu handed the things to Li Changhe.
"Thank you, Secretary Wu!"
Li Changhe said with a smile.
"You're welcome. By the way, Changhe, if you go to Hong Kong Island, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to, and that is your clothing."
"The dress over there is a little different from ours."
"There's a clothing store in Wangfujing that makes clothes for foreigners. You can go there and buy some clothes to take back with you."
Before leaving, Secretary Wu gave Li Changhe another friendly reminder.
Li Changhe nodded: "To be honest, I was planning to go there."
Since he was going to Hong Kong Island, his sailor shirt and green military pants were no longer suitable for him, so he would definitely have to change into several sets of clothes.
There is a clothing store in Wangfujing, which is affiliated to the Friendship Clothing Company. Of course, it was renamed Hongdu Clothing Factory a few years ago, but its practices are equivalent to private customization, and it also serves many foreigners.
They have many styles and good materials, but the prices are high.
Not only is the cost high, but most people can’t do it. It’s not something that can be done for you just because you pay the money.
This is also the reason why Li Changhe came first to handle the formalities. He had to take the issued letter of introduction to make clothes.
Otherwise, even if you pay, they may not have the time to do it for you.
With the letter of introduction, Li Changhe simply ordered two sets of clothes, and he didn't order more.
As for the rest, you can buy them once you arrive in Hong Kong Island.
Although he has no money, he will have it once he gets out of the customs.
Li Changhe was not at all bothered by this.
Afterwards, Li Changhe returned home with the documents, put them away, looked at the time, and rode his bicycle to Xiaoxitian to pick up Zhu Lin.
This time, Li Changhe had just arrived and the bus happened to return. Zhu Lin got off the bus and walked straight towards Li Changhe.
"Your car is driving fast today!" "It's almost the holiday, the teachers get off work early, and the driver drives fast too."
Zhu Lin explained to Li Changhe with a smile.
"By the way, do you have today off?"
Zhu Lin sat on the back of the bicycle and asked Li Changhe.
Peking University’s vacation time is always a few days earlier than theirs.
"Yes, he was released this morning."
"I also stopped by the Tourism Bureau in the afternoon to complete the formalities for going to Hong Kong Island."
Li Changhe spoke softly to Zhu Lin.
"Well, when are you planning on leaving?"
"I won't leave until ten days later!"
These days, many things are done inefficiently. Even if Li Changhe has completed the formalities, he cannot just leave the next day.
He still had a lot of things to arrange, so the procedure allowed him to depart ten days later.
"That is not bad!"
After hearing this, Zhu Lin felt relieved.
She didn't want Li Changhe to go to Hong Kong Island just when she was on vacation.
When he got home, Zhu Lin looked at the travel materials that Li Changhe had placed on the desk, picked them up and looked at them curiously.
“Why do we need so many formalities?”
"It was Director Lu's secretary who helped me do this. If I did it myself, no, I wouldn't be able to do it at all!"
These days, it is not easy for an individual to leave the country. Basically, one needs a letter of introduction from their employer.
Li Changhe was able to go over because of Bao Yuguang's invitation.
Why Director Lu didn't let Li Changhe take Zhu Lin with him? Because nowadays many people who are invited to go abroad by their relatives never come back after they go abroad.
Take Hong Kong Island for example. If you sneak into Hong Kong Island at this time, as long as you arrive in the city, you can get a resident certificate and become a Hong Kong Islander.
This is because the Hong Kong government has implemented a barrier policy and has border patrols.
If it were twenty years ago, it would have been easier to obtain an identity.
So even though Bao Yugang had been invited, Director Lu was only going to let Li Changhe go alone.
His parents and wife who remain here are also a concern for him.
Otherwise, if Li Changhe really defected, it would be a big trouble.
After all, Li Changhe is somewhat of a celebrity now, and he is also a student at Peking University, so his influence is not small.
Li Changhe had guessed all this, but he didn't speak out some things.
Society has its own rules and individuals have their own difficulties, and Li Changhe will not feel resentful because of this.
Anyway, within two years, this restrictive policy will be relaxed. By then, we cannot say that people will be completely free to come and go, but some people will be relatively free to come and go.
"Go ahead, go and see the prosperous world of capitalism, but don't be dazzled by it."
At this time, Zhu Lin smiled and joked to Li Changhe.
"Don't worry, the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism can't hit me. Didn't the great man tell us long ago? Eat the sugar-coated bullets and hit them back!"
"I'm going there this time to bring back their sugar coating!"
"By the way, when you have a holiday, let's go to your uncle's house and I'll take you to see the Shen family's old house."
The Shen family's old house is about to be returned. Shen Yuxiu gave her uncle Shen Yuchuan one thousand yuan and asked him to hire a construction team to renovate the old house.
Li Changhe's purpose of going there this time was to see how strong the engineering team was at that time and what they could achieve.
If his strength is not enough, Li Changhe will have to find other ways. After all, he plans to do a major renovation after acquiring the courtyard house next year.
It would be best to dig out the underground garage as well.
However, this is just his idea. Whether it can be realized depends on the actual situation.
"Okay, we still have almost two days off."
Zhu Lin agreed immediately.
"By the way, you're free tomorrow, right?"
Zhu Lin remembered something at this time and asked Li Changhe.
"It's okay. How about I go to your school with you tomorrow?"
"It just so happens that I haven't seen Zhuangzhuang and Kaige for a long time."
Li Changhe said with a smile.
"Not tomorrow. You have to do me a favor tomorrow."
"Gong Xue wrote to me earlier, saying that tomorrow's train will arrive in Beijing. I was planning to go with you to pick her up, but we have an exam tomorrow, so I can't go."
"You have nothing to do at home, so why don't you ride your bike to pick her up?"
Zhu Lin said to Li Changhe.
"Shall I go pick it up?"
Li Changhe was a little surprised.
"She wrote to say she had bought us some presents."
"It doesn't matter whether it's a gift or not. I was thinking that her wrist was injured. Even if she had surgery, it might not be fully healed now. If she really bought something for us, it might be inconvenient to carry it."
"You have nothing to do at home anyway, why don't you just go and see her?"
"I was thinking I would have tomorrow off so I could go with you, but I didn't expect the exam to be delayed for a day."
Zhu Lin shook his head helplessly and said to Li Changhe.
Li Changhe glanced at his wife and said, "Good boy, are you really not testing me?"
"Why, you don't want to go?"
Seeing that Li Changhe didn't respond, Zhu Lin frowned and asked.
Li Changhe smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to, I just don't want to think about it. It's not appropriate for me to go and answer it."
"You're already married, what are you afraid of? If someone asks you on the street, just say you're her brother-in-law."
Zhu Lin said disapprovingly.
Li Changhe saw his wife's serious expression and knew that the two people's concepts were different at this moment.
Zhu Lin's current concept is the most common concept of this generation, that is, to help others and be kind to others.
In an era when morality has not declined, we can only say that people's thoughts are still quite simple.
The later ideas of preventing fire, theft and best friends have no market in this era.
On the contrary, people of this era are mostly sincere and friendly to each other, warm and generous, and help each other.
"Okay, I'll pick her up tomorrow! What time is her train?"
Seeing that his wife was serious, Li Changhe knew that he was judging others by his own standards, so he stopped hesitating and agreed.
After hearing Li Changhe's question, Zhu Lin shook his head.
"She didn't tell me what time it is, but you know about those statistics, so just go check it out yourself tomorrow!"
She remembered very clearly that when she came back from school, Li Changhe was waiting for her at the train station.
Li Changhe was speechless when he heard this.
"Okay, I'll go check it out tomorrow!"
My goodness, is this how you use big data?
