Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Wang Weidong can understand the workers' choice.

Everyone is lazy, and who doesn’t want to do something light?

Besides, most of the workers in the city are second-generation workers. Their parents have worked hard to create good living conditions. They have lived in an environment where they have no worries about food and clothing since they were young, and they have not experienced hard training. For that kind of work

You may not be able to adapt to the hard work for a while.

Thinking of this, Wang Weidong suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He stood up and patted Deputy Director Niu on the shoulder: "Old Niu, don't worry, I have already thought of a way. I will bring you a group of hard-working and willing workers in a few days. I guarantee that one can take over two.

"

"Can one go up against two? You're just bragging...Ah, factory director, you still have a way." Deputy Director Niu was used to backing up the cows. When he realized that the person standing opposite was Wang Weidong, he quickly got it.

He swallowed the words on his lips again.

Wang Weidong smiled mysteriously at him, hummed a tune and left the office.

When we arrived at the parking lot behind the office building, the driver Xiao Zhou was wiping the car with a torn towel.

The dilapidated Poussin was polished spotlessly by Xiao Zhou, exuding a dull light under the sunlight.

According to Wang Weidong's current level, he should be equipped with a car, but Ningzhou City's economic conditions are at the bottom of the province, and some departments cannot even pay wages.

When the Orchid TV Factory first reopened, Wang Weidong could only ride a bicycle to and from get off work.

When the Orchid TV Factory got on the right track and Orchid TV became popular all over the country, the city could no longer sit still and took the initiative to allocate a car to Wang Weidong as a special car.

Naturally, the cars were also phased out in the province, and they made noise everywhere except the horn.

Even so, Wang Weidong usually did not take a car when he went out because it was too eye-catching. Every time the Poussin car drove on the streets of Ningzhou City, it attracted a lot of attention.

In this era, if you want to do big things, the best way is to be low-key, so low-key that no one will notice your existence.

....

Seeing Wang Weidong approaching, Xiao Zhou subconsciously stood up straight and saluted Wang Weidong: "Director, are you going out now?"

Wang Weidong waved his hand at him and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhou, this is not an army, there is no need to salute."

Xiao Zhou held a towel in one hand, scratched his head with the other, and said with a smile: "I'm used to it."

Wang Weidong didn't try to persuade him again. He would definitely salute next time. He opened the car door and sat in the back seat: "Go to the city."

"Okay."

Xiao Zhou rushed to the car, started the Poussin car, and the Poussin car roared towards the city, emitting black smoke.

Wang Weidong is still very confident about Xiao Zhou's driving skills. When Xiao Zhou was in the army, he drove for the commander. This was similar to Wang Weidong's job in the first week, but he was not as handsome as Wang Weidong, so the opportunities were not that good.

, after being discharged from the army, I can only return to the local area and drive.

These days, there are not many vehicles on the streets, and traffic jams are non-existent.

Twenty minutes later, Wang Weidong appeared in an office.

When Section Chief Zhang saw Wang Weidong, his eyes widened immediately: "Hey, the sun is coming out from the west today. Why does our God of Wealth in Ningzhou City have time to come to my Qingshui Yamen?"

No wonder he said that. In just two months, Lanhua TV Factory paid 100,000 yuan in profits and taxes to Ningzhou City.

One hundred thousand yuan may not seem like much, but it is not a small amount for the poor Ningzhou City.

It can be said that not long ago, the city was able to pay wages on time, and this 100,000 yuan played a major role.

Wang Weidong took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Section Chief Zhang: "Old Zhang, don't talk nonsense, you are the God of Wealth. Lanhua TV Factory is our TV factory in Ningzhou City, and it is led from above.

Under his command, some small achievements were achieved.

I, a small factory director, cannot afford those compliments."

Section Chief Zhang took the cigarette, lit it, and then lit it for Wang Weidong as well.

Looking at the face hidden behind the smoke, Section Chief Zhang sincerely admired him. Now Wang Weidong can be said to be a hot celebrity in the city, but he is so low-key. Everyone knows that Lanhua TV Factory can

The reopening is entirely due to Wang Weidong, but others just don't admit it.

It is impossible for such a humble person not to win everyone's favor. I heard that the superiors are planning to elect Wang Weidong as a model worker, so no one will object.

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Weidong went straight to the topic: "Old Zhang, you are responsible for poverty alleviation. Our Lanhua TV Factory wants to form a partnership with Liujiagou Commune to provide assistance to workers and peasants. You

See if it works?"

Helping workers and peasants? Such a term from decades ago made Section Chief Zhang confused for a moment.

Fortunately, he has been in the department for decades and was promoted from a clerk, so he is quite familiar with the previous regulations.

"Workers and peasants are helping us. Just wait, I'll check it out for you."

Section Chief Zhang put out his cigarette butt and rummaged through the iron cabinet. Dust flew in the room for a while, and Wang Weidong had to stand up and open the window.

"Hey, I found it. I was a policy propagandist back then, and I handled this document."

Section Chief Zhang took the document in his hand and read it carefully, and then handed it to Wang Weidong: "Director Liu, this policy does still exist, but everyone has forgotten what year it is now. What are you going to do?

?”

"Our Lanhua TV Factory is going to form a partnership with Liujiagou Commune to help the comrades who are members of the rural commune." Wang Weidong smiled and said: "Then please help me issue a formality."

Section Chief Zhang stared at Wang Weidong quietly for a long time, unable to understand why he wanted to do such a thankless thing, so he could only give up.

This kind of compliance matter does not require a signature from above at all. Section Chief Zhang quickly helped Wang Weidong get it done.

Then he took out the seal from the cabinet, breathed twice, and stamped it with a red stamp.

Taking the document, Wang Weidong smiled and said: "Next month, our TV factory will hold an internal sales meeting. The TVs in it have some flaws, but they do not affect their use. If you are interested, remember to go on time.

.”

Defective product? Section Chief Zhang's eyes widened suddenly, and his attitude became a little more enthusiastic: "You are still interesting, Mr. Liu. My son is getting married and is worried about the TV!"

He knew very well that the Orchid TV Factory had very strict quality control requirements, and even if there was a slight flaw, it would not be sold to the outside world.

These defective defective products are of better quality than TV sets from several other TV manufacturers.

Besides, since it is a defective product, the price must be greatly discounted.

In fact, this kind of thing is also common in other factories in Ningzhou and is not considered a violation.

After saying goodbye to Section Chief Zhang, Wang Weidong did not return to the factory. Instead, he asked Xiao Zhou to drive and take him to Liujiagou.

The dilapidated Poussin cart was noticed by the commune members working in the fields before it even approached the village.

"Hey, look, you bastard, haven't you heard that a leader came to inspect recently?"

"Yes, he is not an ordinary leader. Our township chief only rides a bicycle when he comes here."

"Hey, look, the man who got off the car is a relative of the Liu family. Yes, his name seems to be Liu Hongchang. Back then, this kid peed in my pot!"

Liu Yuankui, who was bending down and hoeing, heard Liu Hongchang's name and straightened up to look towards the entrance of the village.

With just one glance, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his eyes. Yes, that sturdy young man was his nephew Liu Hongchang.

However, after not seeing each other for a few days, why did Liu Hongchang end up sitting on the bastard's shell?

Before he could react, two brothers, Liu Changshun and Liu Changyi, dropped their hoes and ran over.

"Hong Chang, it's Hong Chang who's back!"

"Tsk, tsk, I haven't seen you for a few months, has Hong Chang made progress again?"

Wang Weidong reached out and patted his two cousins ​​on the shoulders, and said with a smile: "Brother Changshun, brother Changyi, how have you been lately?"

Liu Changyi curled his lips and snickered: "Of course my brother is living a good life. A new sister-in-law has come to the door, and the new house will be built soon."

Liu Changshun glanced at Liu Changyi sideways: "Isn't this a debt of gratitude to Hong Chang? If we didn't have the connections introduced by others, how would we have the money to marry a wife and build a house!"

After saying that, he looked at Wang Weidong with a smile: "Hong Chang, where did your car come from?"

Wang Weidong said nothing and looked over his shoulder at Liu Yuankui who was walking over: "Uncle, can you give the captain a leave? I have something to talk to you, Changshun and Changyi."

Liu Yuankui smiled honestly: "The captain has just told us that we, the third generation, can go back to entertain you without deducting any work points today."

Ha, this captain is quite interesting. Wang Weidong waved to the production captain standing on the ground to express his gratitude.

The production team leader waved in response, joking, last time because of Wang Weidong, the commune suddenly made 500 yuan, and all the commune leaders remembered this favor!

The roads in the village were narrow and it was impossible for a Poussin car to pass through. Wang Weidong asked Xiao Zhou to stay in the car, and he and Liu Yuankui returned to Liu's house.

As soon as he saw the gate, Liu Changshun shouted at the top of his lungs: "Xiaofang, Hong Chang is here, pour tea."

His look, as proud as possible, was no different from those monkey kings who had successfully obtained the right to mate.

Xiaofang is like a flower in every corner of the country. Liu Changshun can marry Xiaofang home, so naturally he has to show off.

This was the second time Wang Weidong met Xiaofang, the last time was at the wedding.

At that time, Xiaofang was a shy new daughter-in-law, wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket. She was as shy as a quail. As long as others took a look at her, she would lower her head, and Wang Weidong didn't even see her clearly.

Now Xiaofang has adapted to her new identity. When she saw Wang Weidong come in, she greeted Wang Weidong gracefully and got up to pour tea.

Wang Weidong was also proud to see her appearance clearly. She had a big face and a height of 1.5 meters, which was considered tall in this era. What was particularly eye-catching was that her black braid hung directly to her waist.

Generally speaking, she is a girl that the club members like. She has a strong body, a big butt, and she looks like a good childbearer.

Xiaofang also secretly observed Wang Weidong while pouring tea.

She is very satisfied with this marriage. The Liu family is now a good family in Liujiagou. After she gets married, she does not have to work in the fields like other women.

Why?

It was just because Liu Changshun had a good cousin who gave him a random job that allowed Liu Changshun to earn money that he had not been able to earn for several years.

His appearance is Zhou Zheng's, his body is also very strong, and his speech and behavior do not have the unconcealed pride of city people.

No wonder people can do great things.

Wang Weidong sat down, picked up the enamel jar and took a sip of water, and said directly: "I am now the director of Lanhua TV Factory, and I want to recruit a group of people from our Liujiagou."

This sentence can be divided into two paragraphs, each of which stunned the four members of the Liu family.

TV factory? Director?

Liu Changshun swallowed and asked: "Hong Chang, I remember you were the chef of the second state-owned canteen. How did you become the director of the factory? I heard that the factory directors in the city are all big leaders. Are you now?

Is he also a big leader?"

Wang Weidong was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved. He had only done "advertising" on TV sets. Since there was no TV in Liujiagou, he naturally didn't know what had happened in the past few months.

He smiled and said: "The process of the matter is very complicated. As the director of the factory, I am not a big leader. I am just responsible for producing TV sets. Let's talk about recruiting workers."

"Yes, yes, we are talking about recruiting workers, but what do you mean by recruiting workers?" Liu Yuankui smoked a dry pipe, which was cracked and rough like pine bark, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Ah?" Wang Weidong was stunned for a moment before he realized that "recruitment" is a new word for rural areas in this era.

He took the tea handed over by Xiaofang and explained slowly: "Our TV factory pays for the members to work."

Although Liu Yuankui didn't understand the meaning of recruiting workers, he was no stranger to work: "Is it like recording work points? You get paid by the day?"

Liu Changshun was thinking hard and already understood: "Dad, this is a factory, and work points are not counted."

He looked at Wang Weidong excitedly: "Hongchang, do you want us to be workers?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the room, and only the sound of rapid breathing could be heard. Even Xiaofang cast expectant eyes on Wang Weidong.

In this era, there was a huge gap between workers and peasants. After a farmer worked in the fields for a year, the food he harvested was not as much as a worker's two months' wages.

All farmers dream of going to cities and becoming workers.

but.

The factory adopts a succession system. When the father retires, the son takes over.

Even if you are recruiting people from outside, you are still required to have an urban household registration.

Urban household registration is even more valuable. Some disabled men in the city are able to marry the most beautiful girls in the countryside just because they have urban household registration.

These are simply unattainable conditions for ordinary members.

Facing the expectant glances, Wang Weidong smiled and said: "They are not considered workers. Their household registrations are still in the commune and they have no food books. However, our TV factory will pay them monthly wages.

Wages are also paid according to the wage standards of ordinary workers, which is basically 21.5 yuan per month."

Liu Changshun was already discouraged when he heard that he could not transfer his household registration, but when he heard about the salary of 21.5 yuan per month, he stood up immediately.
