Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Qinghe Regional Transport Company.

At the door of the auto repair shop, a slightly immature young man squatted next to a big tree, holding a branch in his hand and writing the four numbers "1984" on the ground.

"I didn't expect that I was reborn and returned to 1984!"

Looking at a group of guys in rustic clothes walking into the workshop, Li Weidong couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"I was just demoted to the auto repair shop. I remember I stayed here for three full years before I was transferred to other positions."

In 1984, Li Weidong was sixteen years old. Born in the late 1960s, he had a name like "Weidong" that was characteristic of the times.

Touching his slightly thin body, Li Weidong couldn't help but fall into memories.

Li Weidong's father was the accountant of the Qinghe District Transportation Company, so Li Weidong was born in the family home of the transportation company since he was a child.

In the 1970s and 1980s, the transportation company was one of the largest state-owned enterprises in the Qinghe area. After all, wherever there are people, supplies are needed. Even in the chaotic era, other companies were unable to guarantee production, and the transportation company's business did not stagnate.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Weidong lived in the transportation company's family home. He was born in the transportation company's hospital, spent his childhood in the transportation company's kindergarten, and his elementary and middle schools were also in the transportation company's children's schools.

In that era, large state-owned enterprises could meet all a person's needs from birth to death.

For example, the Qinghe Regional Transportation Company has its own hospital, its own school, and its own supply and marketing station. The transportation company can handle everything from food, clothing, housing, and transportation to life and death, except for cremation, which has to rely on the funeral parlor.

After graduating from junior high school, Li Weidong did not continue studying, but directly joined the work.

Li Weidong's father had always been in poor health, so he simply retired. Li Weidong, who graduated from junior high school, took over his father's class and studied accounting from his master in the finance department of a transportation company.

The succession system of state-owned enterprises should be regarded as the most common way of fighting for fatherhood in the 1970s and 1980s.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, when parents retired, their children could take the vacant spots and enter their parents' original workplaces to work, or even take on their parents' original positions. Before the 1990s, this was the most important recruitment process for state-owned enterprises.

way.

Even in the 1990s, the country had abolished this system, but many state-owned enterprises were still secretly implementing replacement jobs.

Li Weidong's father was an accountant for a transportation company. After Li Weidong took over, he naturally became an accountant. However, Li Weidong was not an accountant. He had only been working for three months, and Li Weidong made a miscalculation of one hundred yuan in an account.

In 1984, one hundred yuan was equivalent to three months' basic salary for a formal worker, so Li Weidong was punished and was demoted to the auto repair shop as an apprentice auto repairman.

Although an auto mechanic can be considered a technical job, he is still a manual worker; while an accountant sits in an office, out of the wind and rain, and is a superior position in a state-owned enterprise.

Li Weidong was demoted from an office worker to a workshop worker, and he was quite resistant. At the age of 16, he was in the rebellious stage, so he gave up his choice and wandered around the auto repair workshop every day, not doing any work but watching others repair cars.

He looked like he was just waiting to die.

The bell rang for work, and workers quickly walked into the maintenance workshop.

"Li Weidong, you've gone to work and you're still squatting here. Why don't you go in quickly!" a voice sounded.

"Don't worry about him. Anyway, he won't work after entering the workshop. He is official, so even if he doesn't work, no one will care about him." Another voice said.

The two people talking were also children of the transportation company. These children of the transportation company all grew up in the same family compound and went to school for children of the transportation company. They all knew each other.

It's just that these two people don't have the same luck as Li Weidong. Their fathers are still at their jobs, so even if they join the transportation company, they can only work as temporary workers.

In the early 1980s, in addition to a large number of educated young people returning to the city, there were also workers who were downsized and returned to their hometowns in the 1960s who asked to resume work, technical secondary school graduates who asked for distribution, and unemployed people who had accumulated in the city.

However, there are not that many jobs in the city, so there are a large number of unemployed people in the society.

As a large state-owned enterprise, Qinghe Regional Transportation Company always has to take care of the children of its workers, but state-owned enterprises are also a mess. Even the children of its own workers can only start with temporary jobs.

Being a temporary worker in a state-owned enterprise is better than being a second-rate worker in society, not to mention that these are the children of the transportation company. After their parents retire, they will naturally be able to take up their posts and become regular workers.

From this point of view, Li Weidong was lucky. He took over his father's job at the age of sixteen and became a regular worker. He was much better than those who were still working as temporary workers in their twenties.

In state-owned enterprises in the 1980s, the treatment of regular workers and temporary workers was completely different.

Formal workers are an iron rice bowl. In addition to salary, promotion and pension, they can also enjoy various benefits of the company and will not be fired.

As for temporary workers, their wages are much lower than those of regular workers. There is no way for promotion, no pension, and basically no benefits from the company, and they will be fired. Basically, there is no guarantee.

In the same workshop, all the dirty, tiring, and heavy work is done by temporary workers. It is much easier for formal workers to be assigned to them. Many formal workers even find a corner to squat, drink tea and chat, and leave all the work to temporary workers.

Work.

At that time, state-owned enterprises were eating from the same big pot. The so-called thinking that whether you do more or less is the same, whether you do good or bad is the same, whether you work or not is the same, this idea has begun to spread among state-owned enterprises.

Therefore, even if Li Weidong squatted under a tree and drew circles during working hours, the workshop director could do nothing to him except criticize him a few times.

Who made Li Weidong a formal worker?

If Li Weidong was a temporary worker, he would have been fired long ago with this kind of work attitude.

Looking at the year 1984 he had written on the ground, Li Weidong had mixed feelings in his heart.

Before his rebirth, Li Weidong had too many regrets. Now that he is reborn, he finally has the opportunity to make up for those regrets.

"Back then, I was demoted to the auto repair shop. I gave up on myself for a long time and almost became a second-rate. Later, my dad found out about this and beat me severely. Then I changed my ways and started studying repairs seriously.

technology."

Thinking of this, Li Weidong had an urge to go home. He really wanted to see his parents again.

At this moment, a voice sounded from beside Li Weidong:

"Li Weidong, during working hours, get out of here and get into the workshop! Even if you fart casually, you have to put it into the workshop for me!"

Li Weidong looked up and saw a muscular man standing behind him.

This man looks to be in his fifties. His upper body is the most common blue work clothes with four pockets, and his lower body is a pair of military green trousers with many unwashed oil stains on them.

This person is Li Weidong's immediate boss, Cui Dashan, the workshop director of the repair workshop.

When he was young, Cui Dashan participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and also captured a US Army Dodge truck and a truck of American cans. After the Korean War, Cui Dashan served as an auto mechanic in the army for several years, and also repaired 59

tank.

After retiring from the army and changing jobs, Cui Dashan was assigned to the Qinghe Regional Transportation Company. With his excellent auto repair skills gained in the army, he was promoted to the director of the auto repair workshop.

According to the usual situation, Li Weidong, who was in the rebellious stage, would definitely have an argument with Cui Dashan, and then be kicked by Cui Dashan before he returned to the workshop obediently.

But now Li Weidong has been reborn, and he is no longer the rebellious boy who gave up on himself. Li Weidong stood up immediately and walked into the auto repair shop without saying a word.

"Why didn't you talk back to me today? Could this kid be sick?" Cui Dashan thought with a puzzled look on his face.

…

Li Weidong walked into the auto repair shop and looked at the "antique" cars, feeling a warm feeling of recalling the past in his heart.

"Old Jiefang, old Gas, Dayifa, Nanjing Automobile's Lao Yuejin, Second Automobile's Small Glass, and BAIC's Second Factory's Yaosan0 are so nostalgic! Why is there still an American Dodge truck? This is the War of Liberation

It was seized. Can this car still be repaired? Why not just send it to the museum!" Li Weidong thought to himself.

In the early 1980s, domestic transportation companies had a wide variety of vehicles, some were produced independently, some were imported from abroad, and some were products captured during the war. It is no exaggeration to say that they were made by all countries.

This situation lasted until 1986, when FAW's second-generation Jiefang was launched, which solved the dilemma of domestic transportation company Wanguo Zao.

Li Weidong wandered around the repair shop, and from time to time he would stop in front of an old antique car, as if he were visiting a museum.

Everyone knows that Li Weidong is a bastard. Ever since he came to the auto repair shop, he only knows how to wander around and is not even willing to do the job of sweeping the floor. As long as Li Weidong doesn't cause trouble, no one will talk to Li Weidong.

At this moment, a roar of engines sounded from outside the workshop, and an old Jiefang was seen dragging another old Jiefang into the repair shop.

Behind Lao Jiefang, a driver jumped out of the cockpit and shouted angrily into the workshop: "Director Cui, find someone to show me, my car can't start!"

When he heard someone calling him, the workshop director Cui Dashan came out.

"It's Master Cai, your car can't start?" Cui Dashan asked.

Master Cai nodded, handed Cui Dashan a cigarette, and then said: "The team member just gave me the order, and I was rushing to the train station to pick up a batch of goods, but it turned out that the car couldn't start.

It was fine yesterday!"

"Okay, get the car over there and I'll find someone to show you." Cui Dashan took the cigarette and put it in his ear without lighting it.

In this repair shop, gasoline and engine oil often leak all over the place, so smoking is prohibited in the workshop to avoid fire accidents. If you are addicted to smoking, you must go outside under the big tree to smoke. There must be no sparks in the workshop.

Cui Dashan looked around the workshop, then pointed at a young man in his twenties and seventies, and said: "Xiao Zhao, go and show Master Cai a look first. If it can't be repaired, I'll go to you."

master."

"Okay!" Xiao Zhao agreed and ran over immediately.

"The apprentice who has no work to do, go over and give him a shot!" Cui Dashan continued.

Immediately three or four apprentices came over.

These apprentices are all temporary workers, and they all want to learn the craft of car repair as soon as possible, so that they have a greater chance of becoming regular workers. Working as a car repair master is an opportunity to learn.

Li Weidong, who was bored, also walked over quietly.
