Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

The plane landed safely without any incident, and Cao Zhiqiang also got off the plane smoothly and walked into the local airport.

But what's interesting is that when Cao Zhiqiang got off the plane, the stewardess didn't bother him, but a few passengers came over to greet him, and one even handed him a business card, which is rare in this era.

Good guy, those who can fly and hand over business cards these days are either cadres who have reached a certain level or are experts in a certain field. Anyway, there is no ordinary person.

Because my level is not high enough, I can't fly.

Of course, although Cao Zhiqiang is young, he is not regarded as an ordinary person.

After all, there are no ordinary people who can fly and fly first class these days.

Therefore, it is a normal phenomenon in this era for passengers to come and say hello to each other, hand each other business cards, and expand their network while flying. If no one does this, it would be abnormal.

Not only by plane, but also by train, especially those in sleeper seats, are basically used to making friends and chatting with each other, hoping to have multiple friends and multiple routes.

People in this period are mostly very enthusiastic when making friends with each other.

Generally, when someone makes friends with you on a train or a plane, they will generously tell you their name and contact information, and most people will warmly invite you to their homes in the future.

All in all, people in this period were really enthusiastic and not defensive, far beyond what would be possible in later generations.

In the future, if you are on a plane and a stranger greets you so warmly and tries to make friends with you, the first thing you will probably think of is a liar.

But at this time, most people who take the initiative to chat with you and make friends with you have a high probability that they really want to make friends with you.

Of course, everyone came to see Cao Zhiqiang one after another, not entirely because they thought Cao Zhiqiang had a background, but also because of Cao Zhiqiang’s previous performance on the plane.

Especially that song, it really conquered everyone's hearts, so when the plane was about to land, everyone took the initiative to come over and get to know him, this young talent.

Why not go over and get to know Cao Zhiqiang while the plane is still flying?

Of course it's rude to do that.

During this period, because civil aviation had not yet been fully marketized, most of the people who could fly were high-level cadres or experts.

Most of these people are intellectuals who really care about face and cannot do certain things.

But if you get off the plane and are about to part ways, and take the initiative to come over to chat and make friends, that’s normal.

In fact, many travelers were like this at this time, and they all got to know each other when they were parting.

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang collected a bunch of business cards and small notes, and after writing a bunch of small notes himself, said goodbye to a group of enthusiastic middle-aged and elderly men and women.

There was no way, apart from him, there was no one under the age of forty on this plane, weren't they just a group of middle-aged and elderly people?

After saying goodbye to everyone, Cao Zhiqiang walked out of Leizhuang Airport with his bag on his back, and was immediately surrounded by a group of young men.

Cao Zhiqiang was startled at first, thinking it was a robbery, but he soon discovered that it turned out to be solicitors.

Most of them are three-wheeled bicycle drivers, and there are also some three-wheeled motorcycle drivers of various types. As for the car drivers, there are no car drivers.

It's not that there are no cars, but the cars near the airport at this time are either buses or special cars that come to pick people up.

But none of the taxi drivers who proactively come here to solicit customers has a car.

Also, cars during this period could not be purchased for private use. Basically, only work units could buy cars, and work units, of course, would not allow people to drive taxis.

In other words, during this period in China, except for a few local cities in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, other small and medium-sized cities, including Beijing, there was no such thing as private taxis.

Although there are taxis in Beijing now, they are cars owned by car companies and work units, not private ones.

Although Guiyang is also a provincial capital, it was synonymous with poverty during this period. There were taxis, but there were absolutely no cars.

In desperation, Cao Zhiqiang chose a sidecar three-wheeled motorcycle and asked him to take him to Weihong No. 1 Machinery Factory.

Yes, the letter of introduction given by Director Li before was to Weihong Machinery Factory.

Because Caichong County, where Cao Zhiqiang was going, was a small place and was not in the GY urban area, it would be very troublesome to take the bus, so Director Li introduced Cao Zhiqiang to report to Weihong Machinery Factory in Guiyang first.

Weihong Machinery Factory in Guiyang and Hongguang Machinery Factory in Beijing were brothers in the early years. There were many former employees of Jingcheng Hongguang Machinery Factory, and the leaders of both parties knew each other.

Therefore, if Cao Zhiqiang goes to Weihong Machinery Factory, it will be basically the same as going to the branch factory, and he will get very good treatment.

For example, it is not difficult to ask the other party for a letter of introduction for a plane ticket, or a private car, etc.

Of course, Director Li also privately mentioned some precautions to Cao Zhiqiang.

He said that although the factory director there had a good relationship with him, these days, everything is about economics and not just about human relationships.

Therefore, when Cao Zhiqiang wants to go over and ask for help, he should not just take advantage of Director Li's reputation. It is best to give him some "meaning" in private. That will make things easier. Otherwise, people can just find any reason to refuse.

you.

Cao Zhiqiang was convinced, so this time he came with plenty of sugar-coated bullets.

After successfully arriving at Weihong Machinery Factory, Cao Zhiqiang took the letter of introduction and followed the instructions of Director Li, and first went to find Director Zhou here.

After reading the letter of introduction written by his own Factory Director Li and sending him a "small gift" prepared in advance, Director Zhou immediately decided to send a special car to Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang went to that small county town.

When sending Cao Zhiqiang to that small county town, it was not just a matter of sending a car to the field and then finishing it off, but sending Cao Zhiqiang to a machinery factory in that county town for handover.

Coincidentally, the Chiguang Machinery Factory where Cao Zhiqiang's sister and brother-in-law worked was a small branch of the Weihong Machinery Factory there. The current head of the machine factory was originally a section chief of the Weihong Machinery Factory.

Therefore, if the Provincial Capital General Factory sends people there, they will definitely receive you warmly.

With this relationship, whatever Cao Zhiqiang wants to do will be much easier.

Among other things, the internal guest house of that branch is said to be much better than the county guest house outside.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang first came to contact the factory in the provincial capital here, and then arranged for people here to go to a small branch factory in a county below.

The whole process was factory-to-factory, business-to-business, turning a private family-seeking trip into a business trip.

This is also true, because the reason why Cao Zhiqiang came here was that he was on a business trip and came here to do research.

As for what to research, that’s not important. What’s important is that there is such a reason.

Without this reason, Director Li would not be able to issue a letter of introduction to Cao Zhiqiang for air tickets.

Similarly, without this reason, Weihong Machinery Factory would not be able to issue a letter of introduction to Cao Zhiqiang for air tickets when he returned.

The reason is very simple. Flying is very important during this period. All letters of introduction must state the reason and keep a stub. It is not just a random note.

In addition, if it is a business trip, you can reasonably and legally contact brother units in various places.

Not to mention other benefits of doing this, at least you can ride on the bus, stay in a hostel for free, and eat and drink for free.

Yes, as soon as Cao Zhiqiang arrived, Director Zhou of Weihong Machinery Factory immediately used this excuse to hold a high-level reception banquet.

When communicating with people from fraternal units in Beijing, of course a high-level reception banquet is required. This is normal.

As for after eating, it is normal to take some leftover wine, cigarettes, sugar, tea, etc. back home.

Although Cao Zhiqiang is not interested in this kind of reception banquet, he has no choice but to accept it as his territory is decided by others.

If you don't accept it, you don't give face. If you don't give face to others, how can you ask for help?

During this period, Director Zhou always asked about Cao Zhiqiang's relationship background, especially his relationship with Director Li and Secretary Dong of Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Of course Cao Zhiqiang told the truth, saying that his relationship with Factory Director Li and Secretary Dong was just an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship.

But Director Zhou obviously didn't believe it.

Because obviously, if it was just an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship, it would be impossible for Cao Zhiqiang, a young man under thirty years old, to fly all the way over, and Director Li even wrote a separate letter of introduction to him.

Even though Director Li's letter of introduction didn't contain much content, and it didn't mention Cao Zhiqiang's background. He only said that Cao Zhiqiang was a researcher sent here to conduct research, and asked him to treat him as well as possible, but this made Director Zhou even more suspicious.

The bigger the matter, the shorter the content, and this is true both in ancient and modern times.

Especially for a young man who suddenly flew over from the capital without saying hello, no matter how hard you think about it, you can't go too far.

You must know that those who can fly these days must reach a certain level or be a very important big shot. Normally, such a big shot must be at least forty years old.

And Cao Zhiqiang is so young, he looks to be in his twenties at most.

Such a smooth-talking young man certainly cannot be very capable and his level cannot be too high, so he can only have a big background.

Considering that Cao Zhiqiang is from Beijing, it is even more fascinating.

It is also possible that Cao Zhiqiang is a person from some "powerful department" with "background", and he came here under the guise of being an employee of Beijing Hongguang Machinery Factory just to cover up others' eyes.

Even if you have never seen this mysterious legend before, you have always heard of it.

Cao Zhiqiang's sudden arrival was obviously unusual. He also said that this time he came not to Weihong Machinery Factory in the provincial capital for research, but to a small county whose name even Factory Director Zhou himself might not remember.

This, of course, caused Director Zhou to have even greater reverie and deep thoughts.

I went to an unknown small county to do research, and I was able to fly there, and the director of a brother unit in Beijing wrote a letter of introduction to me in person... Who can do this?

Even if there is such a person, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a young man with no hair on his mouth!

If something is abnormal, it is a monster.

If you think about it combined with the factors of today's times, oh, that would be even more incredible. Maybe there is some unknown big event in this.

With this kind of preconceived notion, even if Cao Zhiqiang tells the truth and says that he is just an ordinary person, others will not believe him.

What's more, Cao Zhiqiang will not tell the truth foolishly. After all, Director Li has taught him what to say and do before coming here.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang always spoke in a secretive and ambiguous manner. He only said that he was an ordinary employee of Hongguang Machinery Factory. He came here on a business trip, mainly for research. As for what he was researching, don't ask more.

No matter how much you talk, he still understands.

But the more Cao Zhiqiang keeps hiding you, the more suspicious people become and the more they think you are not simple.

In the end, it seemed that nothing could be answered, so everyone stopped asking.

After all, this kind of "yamen" from the capital who doesn't know the details should not be offended if he can.

Because a yameni with a big background may not let you take a step forward, but it is still easy for you to take a few steps back.

All in all, too young, well-dressed, from the capital, coming by plane...

A series of factors caused the following factory director Zhou and others to seriously misjudge Cao Zhiqiang, thinking that Cao Zhiqiang was a yamen with a profound background.

With this idea in mind, the importance attached to Cao Zhiqiang must be raised higher and higher and higher again.

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang had to stay for a day and had a dinner with a group of leaders from Weihong Machinery Factory. Then he pretended to be drunk and was carried back to the guest house to rest.

It was not until the next day that he waited for the special car sent to him by the machinery factory - a Shanghai brand 760A sedan equipped with a special driver and only used by senior leaders.

How can I put it this way? The brothers here are so enthusiastic and considerate!
