The Era of Hard Work

On Saturday morning, Lu Dong came to the university town, and after meeting Du Xiaobing, he was about to take a bus to Quannan. At the bus stop, many students were looking north.

These people can see Xuefu Wenyuan.

Diagonally opposite the bus station, under the huge inflatable arch, the sound of firecrackers was inaudible, followed by the thunderous sound of gongs and drums. Lu Dong looked over from the crowd and could vaguely see Lu Jianren's figure.

"Uncle Qi can play drums?" Du Xiaobing next to him also saw it.

Lu Dong said, "He didn't tell you? Haven't you often invited Uncle Qi to dinner recently?"

"Don't mention eating with Uncle Qi." Du Xiaobing was still in fear: "At noon yesterday, Uncle Qi insisted on telling me how to cook roasted mice and tender mice without hair. time to eat."

He asked Lu Dong: "You really eat young mice dipped in sesame oil?"

Lu Dong laughed: "No way, Uncle Seven just made it up to fool you."

There was a girl next to him eating a sesame seed cake. Hearing the two discussing how to eat mice, she looked over frequently.

There were so many people on the platform, Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing didn't notice.

Lu Dong continued the topic of eating: "Do you remember the leeches?"

Du Xiaobing immediately remembered the greasy bugs hanging on the two thieves on the bus, and shivered: "I remember."

Lu Dong said: "Uncle Seven has eaten this food, according to his statement, boil it in hot water first, and then roast it on the fire..."

"vomit--"

Suddenly, there was a disgusting sound from the side. The girl who ate sesame seed cakes had seen leeches many times, so she couldn't help leaning over to the trash can, and spit out a mouthful of sesame seed cakes.

There were many people at the bus stop, and a female college student vomited in public, immediately becoming the focus.

"You..." The female student turned her head and wanted to say something.

The bus came and stopped, and the front door stopped right next to the two of them. Lu Dong pulled Du Xiaobing, and quickly got on the bus to put money in. Seeing that there were still seats in the back compartment, he found a seat on the north side and sat down.

Lu Dong looked north through the car window, and Du Xiaobing was also looking north.

However, what the two of them were looking at was not the girl, but the school Wenyuan.

Compared with the deserted opening of the first phase last time, there are many people at the opening of the second phase this time.

Du Xiaobing said, "Lu Dong, is the house here going to be on fire?"

Lu Dong said simply: "Two days ago, the management committee and the provincial masters just held a press conference, and the primary and secondary schools affiliated to the two universities will recruit students from the university town."

"I read the newspaper." Du Xiaobing just doesn't care about some things, he is not stupid: "The premise is to have a real estate in the university town."

He was quite emotional: "The people who think of this trick are really amazing, and they have calculated people's psychology to death."

Lu Dong said, "Didn't you see the advertisements these days? I live in Wenyuan, a prestigious school in the province."

The primary and middle schools affiliated to the Provincial University and the Normal University are demarcated by Xuefu Road, the north belongs to the Provincial University, and the south belongs to the Normal University.

Many older generations have had enough of being uneducated. They have struggled in society for many years, and finally their conditions have improved. Naturally, they don’t want their offspring to follow the old path of hardship. Going to school is the easiest way for ordinary people to succeed. .

The bus started, and after passing the central intersection, Du Xiaobing asked, "How much is the price of the second phase?"

Lu Dong asked Liu Jie, and said, "Housing is 1300 to 1500."

Du Xiaobing was speechless: "It's about to catch up with the housing prices in Quannan City."

Lu Dong said: "Everyone eats this trick."

"What about you?" Du Xiaobing asked casually, "If you want to have children, will you also go to a good school?"

As soon as he finished asking, he patted himself on the head: "I almost forgot, you have never been in love, so pretend I didn't ask."

Lu Dong glared angrily: "Old Du, believe it or not, I threw itchy peppers into your mouth?"

Du Xiaobing smiled: "Don't think that I don't know if I'm not from the countryside. Winter is just over, so where's the itching?"

Lu Dong didn't speak, and silently took out a hard cigarette case from his pocket, opened the mouth sealed with scotch tape, lifted the lid of the box and placed it in front of Du Xiaobing for him to look carefully.

The dead tickle is still ticklish!

Without further ado, Du Xiaobing covered his mouth and refused to take his hand away.

University City is very close to Quannan, even if the bus speed is not fast, there is a stop sign in the middle, and after wandering for half an hour, you will arrive at the East Bus Station on the East Outer Ring Road.

The two got off the train on a platform in front of the station, and were about to take a taxi to the branch of the No. 2 Meat Factory.

Lu Dong's cell phone rang suddenly.

"I'll answer a call." He took out his cell phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number and pressed the answer button.

A woman's voice came from the opposite side, and it was quite standard Mandarin: "Hello, we are the Telecom Service Center. Are you the owner of the phone with the end number 9188?"

Hearing the telegram, Lu Dong replied, "Yes."

The female voice continued: "We held a lottery for the customers who applied for the card last month. Congratulations. Your number has won the first prize with a bonus of 20,000 yuan..."

As soon as the lottery and the money came out, Lu Dong immediately understood and said, "Well, I'm very busy and don't have time to receive the prize. I'll give you an address, and you can do the postal remittance. Personal income tax will be deducted from the prize money. Don't say no, no... ..."

Suddenly there was no sound from the other side, and after a few seconds, another voice came.

"drop--"

Lu Dong is helpless, it's only 99 years, and the telecom fraud has already started?

Having said that, after more than half a month after applying for the card, the information was leaked?

The first time I won a prize, 20,000 yuan.

Set a small goal, save 100 million first, and then consider receiving the prize.

A middle-aged beggar came to the platform, begging for money with a broken jar in his hand.

The beggar was dressed in shabby clothes, with long hair like a bird's nest, probably with a disabled leg, walking on a cane, walking very slowly, limping and looking like he was about to fall down at any time.

Many people gave fifty cents, and Du Xiaobing also took out one yuan.

Lu Dong installed his mobile phone and took a slight look at the beggar.

On the other side of Du Xiaobing, a middle-aged aunt took out a soft cloth wallet, took out a piece of money, and put it in the beggar's broken jar.

The beggar looked down, and the misery on his face immediately turned into a smile.

Then……

Picking up his crutches, he turned around and ran across the road.

The middle-aged aunt came to her senses and shouted, "Don't run away! I gave you the wrong money! Return my fifty yuan!"

With this shout, the beggar ran faster, his legs were no longer limping, and he no longer walked with a limp.

Lu Dong watched the beggar climb over the guardrail, with his speed and jumping ability, he could almost keep up with a high jumper like Heidan.

Du Xiaobing silently put away one yuan, looked at the middle-aged aunt with sympathy, and said to Lu Dong: "These days, beggars don't pay attention to professional ethics."

Someone with yellow noodles came over, Du Xiaobing waved, Lu Dong followed him into the car, and went to the branch of the Second Meat Factory together.

This factory is not far away, it is in the southeast, although it is located on the edge of the second ring road, but in the eyes of old Quannan people, it is a big suburb.

There are only three workshops in the factory, and the area of ​​the workshops is not large, but the whole factory occupies a large area, with a large open space, where many sundries are placed.

In addition, there are two large warehouses.

Lu Dong checked it with his eyes, and he dare not say too much, the bare land is forty or fifty acres.

I have to say that Du Xiaobing's father has a really good vision. After three or four years, it will not be difficult to sell the land for several times the purchase price.

If it can survive for a few more years, it will be a big deal.

I can't envy this kind of thing, and ordinary people can't do this kind of business.

After looking at the factory building, Lu Dong felt that what Du Xiaobing told him was very modest.

Except for a few janitors, the factory building is empty. There are two meat joint factories in Quannan City. The first meat joint factory is said to be in cooperation with foreign businessmen, and it is currently living very well.

The outsiders of the Second Meat Factory also looked good. After all, pork is just in demand in China, so why did it go bankrupt and kill itself?

It can only be said that the public factory went bankrupt, which is hard to say.

The place where Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing came is just a branch of the No. 2 Meat Factory, which was originally responsible for the production of deep-processed meat products such as ham, sausage, and red sausage.

The concrete floor in the factory has probably not been cleaned for a long time, and there is a thick layer of dust on the ground.

Lu Dong walked on it and asked, "The public don't want the factory equipment?"

Du Xiaobing said: "The factory went bankrupt, and it wasn't their own property. The original leaders' first consideration was to transfer it away quickly. It doesn't matter. Anyway, it's not their money that was lost."

Lu Dong said, "Yes."

The two of them entered a sausage production workshop in Laicheng, where changing rooms, air showers, and disinfection rooms were all available, and further inside was the production line. A large number of stainless steel equipment quietly stayed in the factory building, waiting for the ashes to become old.

Lu Dong stepped forward and gently brushed off the dust on the stainless steel chopping board, revealing the silver-white metal surface with almost no traces on it, and it didn't seem to last long.

Du Xiaobing was detained at home by his father and forced to participate in the acquisition a few years later, so he knew more about the situation: "Several workshops, new equipment that was installed more than a year before bankruptcy, stopped working in a short time, I heard that the one who advocated the introduction of new equipment The person in charge received a lot of kickbacks, and when the factory went bankrupt, he sold things casually and got promoted."

He looks heartless, but he is actually a caring person: "Isn't your village building a stewed products factory? See if it can be used, and help me deal with it. My dad will let me take care of it. I have to sell some money to get back the money. It’s not worth a lot of money to collect waste.”

Lu Dong understood that Old Dura was actually doing him a favor by pulling him over.

"Let me take a look first." Lu Dong walked forward.

After watching this workshop, I went to another workshop, and looked at the three workshops side by side.

Raw material processing, seasoning, marinating, stewing, cooling, packaging, sterilization, testing and other equipment are all available.

Because of the production of Lae sausage, there is also a fully automatic vacuum packaging production line.

Then, go to the warehouse.

The warehouse is full of cold storage, and there are several transportation equipment such as forklifts.

Although I have heard of many cases of public factories going bankrupt and sold off like crazy in this era, I have never seen it with my own eyes. Lu Dong walked around the factory and was even a little shocked.

Especially the price of cabbage when Du Xiaobing's family bought it.

Lu Dong said: "Old Du, are these equipments left to you at a higher price than selling junk?"

Du Xiaobing said: "I didn't believe it at first, but the seller didn't care about the loss of assets at all. He just wanted to dispose of it as soon as possible, and then slapped his ass and took office in a new position."

Lu Dong wanted to understand why Lao Du's father was relieved to let Lao Du dispose of these devices, because they could be sold casually, even if they were sold as junk, and they would not make much money.

If you count the land, you can make money no matter how you sell it.

"How about it, can it be used?" Du Xiaobing said: "I sell it to anyone, I'll let you choose first."

He knew that Lu's Village was in the stewed cooking business, and Lu Dong specially gave him a lot of them a few years ago.

From his point of view, Lu Dong specially brought him to make money years ago, and this time investing together is also taking him to make money. People treat him well, and he has to treat people with friendship.

As for the purchase of decoration, Du Xiaobing didn't worry about it at all. He didn't care about his own investment, so why should he care about it?

If Lu Dong helps him, he will try his best to help Lu Dong.

"Wait." Lu Dong said, "I'll call someone to come and see."

Du Xiaobing smiled: "We are brothers, but my brothers settle accounts clearly, and my father entrusts me to deal with it. I can't sell it at a loss, and I have to make money."

Lu Dong couldn't see that Du Xiaobing had good intentions: "No problem."
