Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 245 Superfluous

Comrade Liu sighed for a while, thinking about the time when he was in charge of a battalion of soldiers and always told the truth. Unexpectedly, none of the two children were obedient. When he thought of this, he became angry with Li Weidong!

It reminds me of what my uncle Yang Lisong said back then, "Slippery or not, you have unique ideas!"

This is so true. Li Weidong is so slippery, but he also has great ideas, methods, and a very good vision.

He sometimes wondered why he married his daughter to him in the first place. He always felt that it was a stupid thing. After drinking twice, his reputation for life was gone.

The whole family style was ruined by him!

While the two were sighing, the doorbell rang!

Liu Jinhui hasn't been here for a month because she had to review for the exam. In the meantime, the two of them visited Li Qian together, but they still missed him!

Liu Yongliang put down the rag, wiped his hands and went to open the door and took Li Qian from Liu Jinhui's arms. As for Li Weidong who had something in his hand, he naturally had no way to take it, nor did he want to take it!

As the twelfth lunar month has just entered, Li Weidong came as a gift, mainly tobacco, alcohol and some supplements. Smoking and drinking are not good for the body, so he can only buy some supplements to replenish his body.

The old couple circled around the child, and no one paid attention to Liu Jinhui and Li Weidong. Li Weidong said quietly: "Do you think we are redundant?"

Liu Jinhui also said in a low voice: "I think it's about the same. I've been here for a long time, and there are all children. No one asked me how I did in the exam, not even a glass of water!"

"What are you two mumbling over there, and you still expect us to bring you tea and water!" Teacher Yang has more than 20 years of experience in listening to students' whispers, so naturally the whispers between the two of them cannot escape her ears.

Li Weidong came. Although my father-in-law still had some evil spirits in his heart, the standard of hospitality was also very high for the sake of his grandson.

A large table of dishes, the last bottle of Qizhou puree collected by Liu Yongliang from 1978 to 1978, has ended its glorious life!

Li Weidong said with emotion: "This wine is still better. It has a strong flavor and a long aftertaste. It's a pity that one bottle is too much for one bottle!"

"It's a pity. It's more than ten years old. This kind of grain wine becomes more fragrant and thicker the longer it is stored. As for drinking one bottle and losing one bottle, that's not the case!"

"When I was a soldier in Weizhou, I heard that they have several wineries in each county. Most wineries have their own wine cellars with a lot of wine in them, and some have three or four wines.

Ten years!”

Li Weidong's eyes lit up when he heard this. If there were such a wine cellar in later generations, people would have made it easy. Moreover, Weizhou is also a famous wine-making place. A popular movie a few years ago described sorghum wine-making.

However, Li Weidong is not an alcoholic, and he does not have such an extreme hobby for wine. Besides, Wuliangye and Moutai will still be old wines in 20 years.

He doesn't rely on this to make money, he just wants to satisfy his appetite, so there is no need to build a wine cellar.

Liu Yongliang sighed with emotion and said: "It's just that these wineries are slowly closing down, and some wine cellars are even unmanaged. What a pity for those good wines!"

Yang Limei said from the side: "You are so generous. After drinking this cup, you will be ready. Don't drink too much. I have classes in the afternoon, but I don't have time to serve you!"

Li Weidong hurriedly picked up the pot and said: "Don't worry, Mom, we won't drink too much, just the wine in the cup. Dad, let's drink our wine. As long as we have wine to drink, it doesn't matter whether the winery lives or dies!"

After drinking just enough, it was time for Yang Limei to go to class.

"Let grandma give me another hug and a kiss. Come, say goodbye to grandma and wave!" Yang Limei didn't care whether Li Qian understood or not. She said it twice in a row and taught her the waving movements several times!

When Yang Limei walked out of the room and turned around to close the door and waved, Li Qian in Liu Jinhui's arms also raised his hand and waved, mumbling the words "Bye~Bye"!

I used to do this gesture of waving occasionally some time ago, but I didn’t expect that I can still mumble and talk now!

Liu Jinhui was stunned and Yang Limei was extremely happy, but when she asked him to speak again, she started speaking baby talk that no one could understand!

Yang Limei returned to the room and said: "Let me just say, if you talk to him more often, he will definitely be able to talk early. You see, I talked to him a few times today, and he will learn it!"

He looked at his watch and saw that the time was almost up. He didn't have time to explain it to Liu Jinhui in detail. He just asked Li Weidong and Liu Jinhui to talk to Li Qian if they had nothing to do, which would promote his language development.

When two men are together, if they don't talk about national affairs, there seems to be nothing to talk about. It may not be possible to talk about other Li Weidong, but talking about national affairs is no problem for people who are born again.

One is willing to listen and the other is willing to speak. It is easier to infer the process when the result is known than to guess the process when the process is not clear and the result is not available.

Liu Yongliang admired Li Weidong's opinions even more. While admiring him, he was also slightly worried. Is having such an excellent son-in-law good or bad for his daughter?

History proves that men become bad when they are rich. There is no successful man who does not have three wives and four concubines. Even in future generations, there will be many people who change their wives.

"According to what you say, the national cotton factory will have no choice but to close down and go bankrupt, with no way to survive?"

"Under normal circumstances, certainly not. How many workers does the national cotton factory support now, and what is its current output value? Half of the output value is used to pay wages to the workers. How can this factory still survive?"

Liu Yongliang stopped talking. As a middle-level leader, although he did not fully understand the company's situation, he at least knew more than ordinary people. Paying wages has become the most difficult thing in the factory.

Even the life-saving money for laid-off workers to buy out their seniority has not yet been provided, which is the main reason why the layoff plan has been delayed again and again.

Now thinking about Li Weidong's move to support Liu Jinbo's resignation and go to work, it was absolutely right. Not only did he get the salary to buy out his seniority, but he also entered society first.

"Dad, don't be too sad. This is the law of history. No one can change it. If reform is to advance, something must be broken. Otherwise, if we stick to the original thing, isn't it just changing the soup without changing the medicine?"

"Besides, this can be regarded as freeing up a cage to change a bird. Rather than guarding such a large family business and having so many workers doing low-value-added things, it is better to release it and do something else!"

"Don't underestimate the ability of these workers. Now that they have support, they naturally have less initiative. Once they are laid off, they will have no support. After some simple skills training, they will definitely create more value for society!"

Liu Yongliang said angrily: "It's easy for you to say, these workers are the backbone of the family. Once they are laid off and lose their income, the whole family will collapse!"

The word "laid off" is the last thing he wants to mention now. Their factory is not too old to be touched!

There will definitely be people laid off. We don’t even know the quota yet, but people have already come to us asking for help. They say that each one is worse off than the other, and it will be difficult to lay off anyone.

"The difficulties are only temporary. I am afraid that some people cannot recognize the reality and make trouble here and there without thinking about their own way out. Those who stay are complacent. In fact, they will be laid off sooner or later, and their future situation will be more dangerous than those who are laid off now.

!”

Liu Yongliang thought for a while and said: "What you said makes sense, but it is still unacceptable to lay them off. You have so many industries, why don't you want to work in the cotton textile industry?"

Li Weidong had a headache after hearing this. He was being regarded as a savior. Comrade Lao Wang from Handong Machinery Factory also wanted him to be this savior, but he had not yet reached the end of his request.

As the Internationale sings well, there has never been a savior, nor does it depend on a fairy emperor. To create human happiness, it all depends on ourselves.

Li Weidong quickly refused: "Dad, I don't have that ability. Besides, with so many unnecessary employees, it will be useless for anyone to do it!"
