In the last week of the new year, the imperial capital is already filled with the feeling of celebrating the New Year, and there are crowds of people everywhere buying new year's goods.

A series of companies under Wang Xu's command have always been known for their good treatment and many benefits. Although they are not state-owned enterprises, they have benefits that are not inferior to those of state-owned enterprises.

It is considered a foreign company, but it does not require knowledge of foreign languages ​​and the entry barrier is not high. Many young people in this area have joined this company to work. Zheng Bin is one of them. He was discharged from the army last year and has a high school education.

When the sub-district office helped with the placement work, it was suggested that he go to this company to register first. It was hard to say whether he could get in, but you had to find a place first. If not, you would find another one.

In fact, his parents would rather have him go to a state-owned enterprise, but that kind of unit is more difficult to get into, and there are many people with connections in the imperial capital. Urban civilians like Zheng Bin have almost no chance.

He is a retired ordinary field soldier and has nothing but military skills. After taking off the military uniform, apart from looking stronger, it can be said that he is extremely ordinary.

But he was really lucky. Wang Xu started working on movies last year and needed to find a group of people with some military background to do special effects. He successfully relied on his military qualities and familiarity with firearms and explosives to join Wang Chao's subordinates in special effects work. room and became a member of the explosion team in the physical effects department.

The salary is pretty good, at least much better than some of my former high school classmates. The key is that there are masters here who can teach me. The same is true for explosions. Filmmaking and fighting are two completely different fields. How to make explosions gorgeous and beautiful is the primary pursuit here.

The work management of the explosion team is particularly strict. The basic operating regulations are derived from the army's management manual. Even the regulations on the use of props and firearms are exactly the same as those of the army.

Every day, firearms and explosives are managed by specialized personnel, and their use requires special procedures to be collected, and the dosage is accurate to 0.1 grams.

Zheng Bin is very diligent and hard-working. He learned from Wang Xu for more than a month, blowing up models, blowing up dummies, and blowing up foam. It can be said that it was very lively. It was really a new technique every day and a new idea every half a day.

I really put in a lot of effort. Just taking notes took me three thick notebooks. In order to remember it quickly, I didn’t forget to review it when I went back at night.

Zheng Bin himself said with a smile that if he had this kind of energy when he was in school, he would never have been able to get into college.

The hard work paid off, and Zheng Bin finally became the deputy leader of the explosion team based on his assessment results, and his salary was also increased by one level.

The team leader was vacant, and Wang Xu said that he would go to the Bayi Factory to find a special effects artist, but this special effects artist was employed by a national unit and could only be seconded at the moment.

It's not that Wang Xu doesn't trust his own skills, but that he really doesn't have that much time to take care of things so carefully. Wang Jinghua has already made an agreement with others and will join the team after the new year and temporarily lead the demolition team.

In fact, this is not very in line with Wang Xu's original idea, because he is the student here. He doesn't know whether he can cooperate with the masters from the Bayi Factory. The blasting team is not an ordinary department. If the superiors and subordinates cannot If you communicate accurately, big things can easily happen.

But after chatting once, I found that although the old master had many wild ideas, he had novel and unique ideas. Moreover, Wang Xu is full of praise for the strict military-style management here, and there is no communication barrier with various terminology.

After asking about it, I found out that he was originally an explosives player in the army, and he changed his career to specialize in pyrotechnics. This is not a big problem, at least the communication process can be completely smooth.

As for after the filming of the film is completed, there is a high probability that the leader of the demolition team will be selected from among the current members. The capable ones will be promoted and the mediocre ones will be removed. Therefore, Zheng Bin's position as deputy team leader is not very stable yet, and he knows that he still needs to continue working hard.

Although he is only a private after two years in the army, Zheng Bin is a child who grew up in the city, and his vision is not narrow. He likes to read various military magazines, especially guns. In the army reading room, there are many Look at this content.

Wang Xu's library here is even richer in content. He has collected various military magazines from all over the world and introduced various small weapons to Zheng Bin.

Therefore, he would borrow a few magazines to read at home almost every day, and change them the next day. From the styles to the regulations of these weapons, he could not only memorize them by heart, but at least he could blurt them out after seeing the photos.

This was originally a hobby of his, but unexpectedly it laid a solid foundation for his career. It's okay for Wang Xu to play with guns here. The Ministry of People's Armed Forces even established a militia organization here and arranged for military representatives to take charge.

Later, after seeing a large number of imaginary drawings of future firearms drawn by Wang Xu, the above arranged for Wang Xu to cooperate with a digital research institute to set up a firearms research laboratory near the film and television base.

Because Zheng Bin is familiar with the guns in the world in the pictures, Wang Xu also arranges to come here from time to time to help with testing. The various new guns he drew have cool shapes, but they are different from ordinary army standard rifles in use.

If you want to look beautiful, you need tactical movements that match the shape of these guns. Although Zheng Bin has never done this, he is from a serious army. The basic principles are still clear. In addition, he knows a lot about the world's guns. , you can also get a rough idea of ​​other people's tactical movements based on photos.

Therefore, he was often assigned to work in this area. Later, when filming movies, he became a specialized firearms action director.

Wang Xu actually has real guns here. The research laboratory even shares a professional shooting range with nearby troops, so live ammunition shooting can also be carried out. Wang Xu's company's militia training is also here.

In the 1990s, there were very few militias, especially among small and medium-sized enterprises, and militia organizations were almost all abolished. Only a few large state-owned enterprises still retain this organizational structure. Very few new companies would establish militias, and private and foreign companies would never even think about it.

However, the policy of establishing grassroots militia organizations was not abolished. Instead, regulations were formed, which were issued only a few years ago.

Although Wang Xu's place is nominally a foreign company, everyone knows what kind of company it is, and there is no clear provision in the organizational regulations of the militia that foreign companies are not allowed to establish.

Therefore, Wang Xu really has a militia organization here, so the veterans he recruited have become the backbone of the militia, and other ordinary militiamen are available in various departments. Or if there is a war here in Wang Xu, There is no problem in pulling out a company in minutes.

Because Zheng Bin is a veteran himself and is still exposed to explosives and firearms every day, he has become a key training target among the militia.

Of course, this is just a joke. The quality training in this aspect in the army is all-round. You will not be taught how to shoot just because you are an ordinary soldier. Instead, all military qualities must be trained. It’s just that the division of labor is different. .

Unless you are a special forces soldier, which requires more training, and then you will have gradually clear specific expertise, in the general army, everyone is actually the same.

When it comes to the militia, they have to be able to do a little bit of everything, but they don't require proficiency. After all, even if a war does start, the militia will only serve as auxiliaries, and there will be very few opportunities to go on the battlefield.

Unless it's a large-scale urban street battle, well, the imperial capital, if here..., just think about it, it's impossible.

Not many people in the Imperial Capital can serve as soldiers every year. As we all know, serving as a soldier in China is not something you can just do if you want. The Imperial Capital has a small population, and there are even fewer people who can serve as soldiers.

Therefore, the imperial capital does not actually have to worry about the placement of veterans. Wang Xu can have so many veterans here, well, he understands everything.

Many of the veterans here are not locals, they were transferred from other places. Just think, if they are transferred to work in the imperial capital, they can also solve their household registration. Well, Wang Xu doesn't know anything.

Zheng Bin lives in the city and has to take the company bus every day. It takes more than an hour to go to Changping and another hour to come back. It is much harder than sitting in the office in Dongsi, but he doesn't care.

This was a job he had dreamed of. When he came here, he never imagined that it would be so consistent with his hobbies and expertise. It was like a tailor-made position.

When I was a soldier, I never thought that I would be able to engage in such a career as a soldier, making movies, well, there are many war movies, especially in the past few years, but I never thought that I would be able to work with those Big stars work together.

In the small Changping base, he has already met many big stars who can only be seen in magazines. Wang Fei will not talk about it. That is the boss, Liu Xiaoqing, Zhang Guorong, he has met them all, and even fought against them. call.

This alone was enough for him to brag in front of his friends for three days and three nights.

Today is the day when the company distributes things. The shuttle bus has arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon and rushed back. Several colleagues who live in places where they don't live have rented private houses in Changping nearby. Their New Year's goods will be delivered on the shuttle bus in the morning. It's past.

But most people in the Imperial City really don't want to give up such a distinguished title in the Imperial City, so they would rather spend three hours taking the shuttle bus every day than live in the city.

This is normal. Fortunately, they are all young people and do not have children. Otherwise, they would have to live in the city, and the educational resources would not be comparable.

Therefore, Wang Xu arranged a special bus to serve as a shuttle bus from Dongsi to Changping every day.

In fact, the distance is only about fifty kilometers, but the road conditions are not as good as in later generations. The buses are also from the 1960s. When driven, they are very oily and can reach a speed of forty. It's like driving a car.

But then again, even if the road conditions improve in later generations, there will be more cars at the same time. Even with the traffic in the Imperial Capital, you won’t be able to run fast even with any high-end car.

It still takes almost more than an hour to get from the imperial capital to Changping. Do you think this has developed or not?

The company is particularly lively today. The big truck is parked in the square at the entrance of the new building, and the logistics colleagues are busy distributing New Year's goods to every employee.

The New Year's goods have all been packed in the warehouse a long time ago. They are all packed in cartons and they all look the same. But in fact, the content inside is still different. It has everything it should have, but the quantity is slightly different.

When someone comes, they sign in, receive a box, and leave. They are not allowed to open it on site. There are regulations. You can go home and unpack it yourself to avoid comparisons with others.

Zheng Bin got off the shuttle bus, greeted and exchanged greetings with his familiar colleagues, and helped them load the heavy boxes weighing dozens of kilograms into various means of transportation, before he went to pick up his share with peace of mind. Even though he was discharged from the army, he still retained I learned many habits I developed while in the army, such as helping fellow villagers work.

Just like last year, today's taxi fare can be reimbursed. The brackets are only for face-to-face meals. The brackets end, so that lesbians who are not strong enough can't move back.

(I found another way to reduce the number of words, smiley face. I finally understand why many novels have the "manual dog head" writing method, smiley face).

Wang Xu knows that there is no fairness in things like New Year's goods. No one can grow chicken, duck or fish according to the standard. What should I do if your chicken is bigger than mine. The scene was broken up, and there was a real possibility of a fight. It was originally a good thing, but in the end it ended up being a mess.

So I simply sealed it and will not return or exchange it. Wang Xu didn't do anything that was one-size-fits-all. It was all the same thing. There was really no benefit to the big pot meal. It tasted great when you first ate it, but it was lifeless and lacked vitality. The company was not doing well.

However, there is no need to divide the New Year's goods by position, but mainly by seniority. Newcomers like Zheng Bin who have just been employed for a month or two should enjoy the benefits if they can. Don't insist on receiving the same treatment as other senior employees, as that would be unfair to those employees who have worked for more than a year.

Wang Xu's company was established too short ago. Only a few people have worked for two years, and those who have worked for one and a half years are all veterans. It has expanded rapidly in the past year, and that is when most employees joined the company.

With the rules, there is a square, and the square is peaceful and beautiful. Several aunts from the neighborhood committee are here to help, because the neighborhood committee also has a share. Although they are given according to the minimum standard, it is still a thoughtful gesture.

You have to run a good business in this neighborhood, and the relationship with the neighborhood committee is that of neighbors. Don’t underestimate this kind of neighborhood disputes. Sometimes one is disturbing people, sometimes one is polluting, and sometimes one is fire safety. If the relationship is not good, the small neighborhood committee It will torture you to death.

Wang Xu is not that utilitarian. On the contrary, his view is quite simple, which is to give back to the community. Don't underestimate these old ladies from the neighborhood committee. Many people find them very annoying. But in the eyes of Wang Xu, who has not only traveled far and wide, but also experienced many vicissitudes of life, there is kindness in his eyes.

This is a quite traditional value, the kind of harmony between neighbors. As the old saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The reinforced concrete in modern cities has completely disintegrated this family-like atmosphere. It is hard to say who is good and who is bad. These are just different social eras. Just the needs.

But Wang Xu, who has been cared for and cared for by his neighbors since he was a child, is naturally willing to repay this feeling in the same way, so he started doing this. Anyway, he bought a lot from overseas, and the neighbors gave some to each house. Many, sincere intentions.

Several families cooked a large pot of snow crab legs for the children to appetize and for the elderly to have a try. Without asking for anything in return, it is enough to say something good about my second brother.

There are rumors in the market that Wang Xudong is the fourth king and the second son, but the neighbors all know that he is the kid who used to have a meal at his boss's house and a meal at his west's house. Now that he has become prosperous, he has not forgotten his old neighbors.

During the holidays, there are always some pastries, snacks, oil and salt for the new year. Although life is getting better now and no one is short of this kind of food, it is really heartwarming. This year, there are actually imported goods from overseas. It's really extraordinary.

In fact, many old neighbors have moved out recently. The narrow courtyard is really not suitable for living. You can’t even stretch your legs when you get married. As long as there is a place to go, no one wants to live in this kind of place. Place to stay.

But it’s hard to find this place. The welfare housing allocation system in the imperial capital officially came to an end this year, but commercial housing has not yet been opened. Except for those foreign-related things that cost thousands of dollars per square meter, you are in these four-nine cities. , I really can’t find a few places to stay.

Moreover, Wang Xu, who came from a later generation, knew that even after the opening up, the environment of most residential areas in the Imperial Capital was far worse than that of southern cities. The commercial properties were not bad, but most of the commercial properties in the Imperial Capital were not in the city; Outside the Fourth Ring Road.

The city is filled with so-called communities built by various enterprises and institutions. Many of them are so-called high-end communities, but in addition to being expensive, the people living there are also quite high-end. However, the communities themselves really don’t have anything high-end, in terms of service quality, and living conditions. The environment is really hard to describe.

Especially in terms of architectural design, the Imperial Capital now has several sets of general drawings for slab buildings and towers built with prefabricated panels. Many residential units are built according to those drawings.

But the design of that house is really based on how many people can live in it. A house has an area of ​​50 square meters, but there are many public stalls that require more than 20 square meters. It really sticks to the prescribed upper limit.

Wang Xu just couldn't figure out how you could have such a big public stall in a house with more than a dozen households per elevator and no public buildings. Where were all the stalls in the house?

But speaking of it, in other places you can still see all kinds of complaints, all kinds of complaints, and even banners lying on the streets, but when it is the Imperial Capital’s turn, can you see it?

For this purpose, Wang Xu even plans to discuss with the municipal government, which will be led by the municipal government, sponsored by Wang Fei's Wangchao Enterprise, and jointly with the Department of Water and Wood Architecture, the Department of Civil Engineering, the Imperial College of Architecture, and the Imperial Architectural Design Institute and other construction-related units.

Let's jointly hold a design competition for future residential buildings. In the name of building employee dormitories for Wang Chao, we will redesign some public buildings based on the climatic conditions and humanistic environment of the imperial capital.

It is required to be oriented to future life, to ordinary people, and designed for families of three or five. The house itself must be low-cost, short-term, simple to maintain, and have a long service life.

The main body of modern families is a family of three. In fact, there are many families of five in the imperial capital. This is also the most common family model in the foreseeable future.

A family of three is usually a couple with one child, while a family of five is a middle-aged couple, a young couple, and one child.

The type of family where a couple has many children is actually very rare in the imperial capital now. The ones that still remain are usually children who are almost grown up and will soon have to live alone.

This kind of house type is enough to meet the daily needs of a family. As for improved housing, that is a matter for later when you become rich, and you don't need to consider it at this stage.

And in any city, the backbone is always ordinary young people and middle-aged people.

In fact, the elderly and children can consider moving some medical resources, childcare resources, primary school resources, etc., to form a sub-urban area for childcare and elderly care, instead of dumping everything into the city center.

The community environment must be comfortable, quiet, environmentally friendly, able to exercise, keep fit, walk, communicate, children can play, youths can run, parents can socialize, there must be enough parking spaces, and people and cars cannot run together. You Tell me if this is too demanding.

Not high. In fact, many communities in later generations can do this. They just need to be aware of this in advance and they can naturally plan it.

Then there must be at least one large square near several communities that will not disturb the residents. Although square dancing has not yet become popular, folk activities such as ballroom dancing and Yangko dancing have never stopped.

There needs to be a vegetable market selling firewood, rice, oil and salt, a place for people to socialize, teahouses, coffee bars and the like, places to eat, supermarkets to shop, physical exercise facilities, children's playgrounds, and even small ones. Shopping malls, movie theaters, game arcades, Internet cafes and the like.

This thing does not exist in China yet, but in later generations, it was called an urban complex, but that generally refers to a large regional center.

What Wang Xu wanted to do was actually a small one. It was first developed by Li Jiapo and took decades. Later generations of Suzhou vigorously introduced it, and the effect was remarkable. In Suzhou, this thing was called a neighborhood center.

Wang Xu lived there in his previous life. It was really convenient, clean and tidy, and there was no complicated social chaos. It can be said to be the best living experience.

In fact, it is not the case in other cities, because people will spontaneously form some similar gathering places in the surrounding area, but it is easy to lack management. They are everywhere along the road, making it difficult to find a place, and they are also messy. People walk on average The route is much longer.

This is the benefit of unified planning and centralized design. It can be scientifically designed to control people's walking time within five minutes, making it easy to travel.

Moreover, because the distance is short, the cost of paving the road is relatively low, and public parking spaces can be planned, so that the road will not be filled with cars and occupy the driving road.
