The leisurely life of rebirth

After the drinks were over, life returned to normal. Qi Qiushi and Mr. Lin quickly completed the formalities and negotiated the rent with the county's machinery factory. They were eager to do so because they had been unable to pay wages for half a year. Qi Qiushi also negotiated with the county's glass factory.

We established a cooperative relationship and produced frosted glass covers.

Qi Qiushi also hired a few retired key personnel from the factory in the provincial capital where he was located. They said they were retired, but in fact they were only in their early fifties. There was no other way for his son to become a full-time worker! He had recovered from illness early. With their joining, he could

After hiring skilled technicians, production can begin.

Mr. Lin first gave this motley crew systematic training, including complete assembly line operations, knowledge and skills, quality inspection standards and other things, which dazzled everyone. However, Qi Qiushi said, "Those who fail to pass the training will not be allowed to do anything."

On the production line, you can only work as an auxiliary job and get the lowest salary. Everyone is treated equally. The old man has a soldier's background and is decisive in killing. No one dares to play tricks.

When the raw materials and purchased machine tools arrived, their patchwork factory began to operate, and the first batch of ceiling fans produced were personally escorted by Shouhou to Yangcheng.

Han Zhiqian took them apart and they were very beautiful. He kept ten of them and shipped the rest to Japan and the United States.[

After they were produced one after another, Qi Qiushi bought them all to various yamen and backyards of the county committee at the ex-factory price, thus settling all relationships.

At the end of August, my aunt took a train to go north, and Qi Qiushi and her mother sent them to the school in person. At that time, the state provided distribution for those who were admitted to university, and their household registration and food relations were also transferred to the capital. Before my aunt and others left, Secretary Wang sent someone to deliver a special package

Only 'Hero' brand gold pen.

A month later, Qi Qiushi and the others received an order contract for 500,000 units, which will be delivered in May next year at a unit price of US$70.

When the news came, Qi Qiushi and the others couldn't believe it. They were so excited that they couldn't sleep until they saw that they had received a check for US$1 million for the deposit.

After calming down, Qi Qiushi said nervously: "We need to step up production, but there is a shortage of raw materials. What should we do?" Raw materials are scarce at this time of the year, and some are given to state-owned factories. People like them are not loved by fathers and mothers, so they can only buy them.

Those with high prices may not be able to buy them yet. And those who only use their family connections to resell steel strips and in-demand materials can get millions a year. Alas! People will die compared to each other, and they will throw away the goods.

"Here, you follow me to Secretary Wang. With this contract, we can also get some finished products." Mr. Lin and Qi Qiushi packed up their things and went to the county committee.

Secretary Wang warmly received them. Not only did they get the county machinery factory up and running again, but the personnel did not cause any trouble. It was not too late to thank them! After hearing the purpose of their visit, they were even more excited. The country was in need of a large amount of foreign exchange, and the government was vigorously supporting their enterprises.

Support, give whatever you want, and also provide foreign exchange subsidies.

With government support, they are working at full speed, and they are working very fast while ensuring quality.

Qi Qiushi was so busy that his grandma's house left a room for him. For this batch of orders, he used the factory as his home all day long.

Grandma continued to work on her steamed bun shop, and the county high school extended the contract for another two years. Not only did she need to continue delivering steamed buns, she also wanted steamed buns, and the pancake stall was even more busy. Since the cultivation of "greenhouse vegetables" began in rural areas, the breeding industry has also flourished.

As the country develops and income increases, it can be seen that parents are no longer stingy in providing food for their children who go to school. For this reason, grandma hired two more workers.

My father was still building roads, my mother continued to work, and even enrolled in correspondence courses.

*********************************

Fang Monan stared at Mobei and her new teacher.

Leonard now had nothing to talk about except asking him to demonstrate how to play. When he heard Mobei playing the violin for the first time, his eyes were wide open and he couldn't believe that this was played by a four-year-old child. He was extremely talented.

The sense of music is very strong, but the skills need to be improved.

Leonard looked at Mobei seriously and said: "There are many geniuses in the music industry, but there are only a few who really stand on the top stage. Do you know why?"

"If you just want to cultivate your sentiments and improve your self-cultivation, then I will teach you just for fun." He said easily.

"No... no... I want to be like them." Mobei took out the tape cover, which showed a man playing the violin. Although she didn't know how great they were, they were the direction of her efforts.

Leonard looked at the tape cover she was holding, his eyes flickering, "The road to music is very hard, just like there is a saying in China, 'One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage. It's hard...very hard...there's

Even if you work hard, you may not achieve your goal." He seemed to feel something, and felt sad when thinking of his experience, "Can you bear these hardships?"

"Why do you have to suffer? I don't think it's painful at all! And I'm very happy." Mobei tilted his head and couldn't understand the suffering he was talking about.[

"Haha... Why should I talk to you about this? You can't understand it." Leonard sneered. He said seriously: "When I really want to teach you, you can't cry, complain, and give up halfway."

"Yeah! Yeah!" Mobei nodded hurriedly.

"Xiao Bei, tell him why you like playing the violin." Fang Monan sat on the threshold, shaking his legs, and interjected while listening to their conversation.

"Because it sounds good! When I first heard the sound of Grandpa Lin playing the violin and the notes beating on the strings, I was fascinated by it." Mo Beicheng said.

"The state of mind determines the state, the mind determines the pattern, and the vision determines the realm. No matter what art is, it is a tool to express oneself. As long as you do this, experts will hear your voice from the music, and the mood you express will not be able to hide yourself.

Even if you cheat, you can only deceive laymen. Chinese Buddhism also has three realms. The first level is, "Seeing mountains is just mountains, seeing water is just water." The second level, "Seeing mountains is not mountains, and seeing water is not water.

", the third level, "Seeing mountains is still mountains, seeing water is still water." Returning to nature, removing external decorations, and restoring the original simplicity is the highest state." Fang Monan continued: "Most people

They are not musicians, but they like to listen to music just because it sounds good. I suggest you read the Tao Te Ching carefully. These things can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words."

Leonard lowered his head and pondered, and even asked Mr. Lin to borrow the "Tao Te Ching" to study. However, he still had to learn Chinese well before he could understand the profound truth.

When Leonard taught Merbei the violin, he was a model of a demon coach. His criticism was that no matter whether Mobei was a child or not, he could understand or not, and sometimes even English would come out. Mobei was also tough, playing the piano again and again until he was thunderous.

Nader's face was no longer dark, and his words were no longer sarcastic. Mobei's hands and arms were nourished and massaged by Fang Monan's spiritual energy every day.

At this time, Fang Monan always sneered at him, "A person who doesn't dare to demonstrate has any right to criticize others." He taught Mo Bei how to play the piano and never demonstrated it. It seemed that his heart was still in knots.

It's not shallow, I don't know when it will be solved. The two of them always talk to each other, and when something happens, in order to avoid Mobei, they will directly 'swear' in English. As a result, in order to understand what the two of them are saying, Mobei silently

Bei's English has also improved rapidly, which was an unexpected gain.

And Leonard, in the dead of night, always took the "Tao Te Ching" and read it over and over again, and memorized it. When he didn't understand, he pestered Mr. Lin to explain it in simple words, and thought about it carefully. A strict teacher produces a good disciple, and Mobei

The progress is also obvious.

"I don't dare to touch the violin, but this demonstration is fine!" Fang Monan took out the erhu and handed it to him.

"Hey! What is this?" He touched it curiously, and it was so novel.

"This is the Erhu, our traditional musical instrument. I play it," Fang Monan sat on a small stool and played a Mongolian horse racing song. It was very infectious, cheerful, delicate and smooth.

Mo Bei became interested and quickly got into his stance and played violin accompaniment. The two sisters cooperated tacitly, especially at the end when Fang Mo Nan played the erhu and made a horse's neighing sound.

Leonard seemed to feel that the vast and beautiful grassland was galloping and agitated by the galloping horses, stirring and flying.

"Ah! What kind of musical instrument is this?" Leonard asked curiously: "The sound is like a human voice, very contagious."

"How about you give it a try." Fang Monan handed it to him, "If you don't want to do anything else, you can do this!" "Teaching by words and deeds is better than you gesticulating for a long time and we don't respond."

"I'm just curious. It's a traditional musical instrument. Just give it a try." Leonard took the erhu, looked at it in his hand for a long time, and looked for the tune. Then he played the same horse racing song.

An expert is an expert, and the Erhu in his hands has a more distinctive personality, full of artistic appeal and national charm. Fang Monan seems to be able to see the fierce scene of horse racing on the grassland, which expresses the vast beauty of the grassland and the joy of the herdsmen.

dripping.

After Leonard finished playing the song, it reverberated for a long time. He sat there and thought about it, "This is good, I will play this from now on."

"That'smine"

"It's a big deal for you to buy another one," Leonardi said.

************************************[

Leonard now leads a worried life. He teaches Mobei the violin during the day, plays the erhu by himself when he has nothing to do, eats Chinese food, and bickers with Fang Monan. Although sometimes he cannot understand profound Chinese and loses completely, he still has to check it out.

Dictionary, but I still enjoy it. My Chinese proficiency, my proficiency in cursing people without using dirty words, that's a huge improvement every day.

I live a leisurely life, except for one thing: there is no flush toilet and it is inconvenient to take a bath. If these are ignored, my life is quite leisurely.

While Fang Monan and the others were busy playing the piano, grandma and the others were steaming steamed buns, and Mr. Lin was busy with things in the factory, the severe beatings began.

Liang Zi and Shouhou closed their shop early that day, and they were in a bad mood, "Hey! You guys closed so early today, it's not dark yet!" Fang Monan was sitting in front of the door selling steamed buns and steamed buns, and his grandma went to deliver the steamed buns.

There is no one at home to support Fang Monan.

"What's wrong with you three!" Fang Monan asked when she saw the strange looks in their eyes.

"It's nothing, we shot about ten more people today." Liang Zi said.

"Ah! You guys went to see them." Fang Monan looked at them and asked. "Do you know anyone?"

"I know a few of them and have fought with them before," the fat man yelled. "They only fought and stole. They didn't commit any murder or arson. Why were they shot?"

"Damn fat man, shut up, you don't want to live anymore, shouting about this on the street." Skinny Monkey covered his mouth and whispered, his eyes peeking around.

They stood on the steps at the door, with lingering fears, and looked at Fang Monan in a different way. They had personally experienced that unprecedented turmoil. They still had fresh memories of various criticism meetings and trials. Many people, especially Liang Zi,

Her father died in a denunciation meeting. Now they are very lucky to have landed early and followed her, otherwise they would not be able to escape today, and they admire her even more.

The main reason for the deterioration of social security at that time was that after the end of the Special Period, a large number of educated young people returned to the city in 1977 and 1978. The city law, which had just gone through ten years of turmoil, temporarily absorbed such a large number of working people. As a result, there emerged a society with characteristics of the times.

The term "unemployed youth" refers to people aged 18 or 20 who have no job and are idle. Over time, they do many things that endanger public security. The public security and judicial institutions at that time were completely broken during the turmoil during the special period, and there was no way to solve the problem in a timely manner.

Handling these matters with complete legal procedures created a vicious cycle. By 1982 and 1983, social security was already very serious, and the government had no choice but to adopt a heavy-handed approach to combating troubled times - crack down hard.

The slogan put forward at the time of the nationwide crackdown was: Catch those who can be arrested or not, arrest them resolutely; sentence those who can or cannot be sentenced, sentence them resolutely; kill those who can or cannot be killed, kill them resolutely. On the day of the "crackdown" operation, the number of people arrested in various places, and the detention centers in many places

The prisoners were overcrowded and could not be detained, so they had to find a temporary place to hold them.

Strict crackdown may be controversial today, but at that time, public security was on the verge of getting out of control, and there was no other solution.

"No wonder there are so many idlers on the streets and there are so few gangsters." Fang Monan muttered.

"Nannan, what have you been busy with these days? You don't even know this." Fatty exaggerated, looking at her like an alien.

"How can she have time to care about this? She is busy with endless homework all day long. Do you think she is just like you, reading and sleeping?" Liang Zi looked at him like he hated iron, and it was not easy for him to learn more.

.

Just as grandma came back from delivering the steamed buns, she sent Fang Monan and the others inside.

"Okay, don't be sad. You guys came just in time today. I have something to discuss with Shouhou," Fang Monan said.

"I" Thin Monkey pointed at himself, with a confused look on his face, and then looked at Liang Zi, who was also confused.

After they entered the house, Fang Monan asked them to look up at the roof. She turned on the switch, "Wow... this is a ceiling fan with a light. It's so beautiful." The fat man shouted, only hearing his name, this time he finally

When I saw it, I pulled the switch out of curiosity. The two ropes lit up and then went off, and the speed of the fan also increased and decreased.

"This is produced by Qi Qiushi and the others." Liang Zi said to him who was having fun playing, "Fat man, don't act like a child and turn off the cold one."

"Yes." Fang Monan said.

"How much does this ceiling fan cost?" Shouhou said, looking up at the ceiling fan.

"The market price is 288 yuan," Fang Monan said.

"It's okay. When we saw similar products, we weren't much better than them. Moreover, this one has four leaves and three delicate yellow floor lights. It immediately raised the grade. It's dozens of dollars more expensive, but it's still cheaper than them.

It’s better to buy those silly, big, black and thick ones,” Shouhou analyzed.

"What's the cost price?" Liang Zi felt that he was being abrupt again, "It's better not to say it."

"There's nothing bad to say. All costs include more than 100 yuan. We set the ex-factory price at 200 yuan, and the remaining 88 yuan is earned by the sales channel."

"But what does this have to do with me?" Shouhou said to himself. "Wait, you mean to let me sell this."

Fang Monan nodded. Slender Monkey has really learned through experience and knows the elegant meaning of Xiange. "Now that the stores don't have such high profits, it's not suitable for you to stay there."

"It won't be a long-term thing to do this all the time." Fang Monan thought that the country would crack down on speculation.

Shouhou quickly entered the role and calculated it silently in his mind. After taking into account the freight, warehousing, store gross profit, etc., he should be able to impress quite a few people and said, "That's enough."

In those days, even when the people were the poorest, they still had to save money at home, have food in their hands, and not panic in their hearts. And it was strange that they had to rush to buy everything. It seemed that there was no shop after passing this village. Buy one.

You have to spend all your savings on the product, even if you have to buy it in pieces.

The sales of various durable consumer goods in the incompatible market are very hot. Needless to say the traditional old three items, the new three items have appeared in society. The definition of the new three items has never been clear. In the early days, it seemed

It was electric fans, washing machines and color TVs, and then refrigerators, air conditioners, stereos, motorcycles, etc. were added. Finally one day, people lost interest in this definition of "three pieces", because the electrical appliances at home have long been

Eight out of ten items.

People have no brand awareness. As long as they buy it from somewhere, even if it is a defective product, they have to take it home and repair it by themselves. At that time, men knew everything. If the electrical appliances at home were broken, they would first take them apart and fiddle with them. It really couldn't be repaired.

Only then will I be thinking of ways.

"Needless to say, our county's purchasing power is good, but the surrounding areas are not. We need to go to big cities. Shanghai, Yangcheng and other places." Shouhou said.

"Shouhou is going to Shanghai. There are Han Zhiqian and others in Yangcheng who are here to help."

"Don't worry! I will definitely do a good job in sales." Shouhou said.

"Your mission, Shouhou, is to establish a foothold in Shanghai as soon as possible and establish the Shanghai sales office of Zhongteng Industrial Company. In the future, the sales and after-sales service of our products in Shanghai will be completely left to you." Fang Monan

Patted him on the shoulder.

Shouhou no longer felt awkward as before, "After-sales service?" He felt somewhat clear in his mind, but he was still not sure whether it was what he thought.
