Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Chapter 8 The plan to resign

"Come, come, let's eat something high-end." Wang Shi took out the five boxes of black caviar given by Lao Maozi, just one box for each person.

"Nephew, what is this?" Uncle Xie asked, looking at the box that looked a bit like a woman's skin cream.

"This is high-end goods. Just this small box of caviar produced in the Soviet Union can cover your salary for ten years. It is what the big brother of the Soviet Union gave us today when we helped him repair his car. Otherwise, with our current economic conditions, we would not be able to

Don’t even think about it.” Lao Maozi’s caviar and RB Kobe beef and French foie gras are rated as the top delicacies in the world.

I don’t know how much this small box of caviar costs now. In later generations, authentic caviar would cost more than $15,000, and you don’t have to be rich.

There is no refrigerator to store it now. If it is not eaten in time, the weather is so hot, it will go bad after a while.

"What! Even if it's made of gold, it's not that expensive, right?" Uncle Xie opened it in surprise and saw what looked like black pearls. He couldn't believe it.

"Mr. Lin, try it. It can't be stored in such a hot weather, otherwise it will be broken. That would be a pity." Wang Shi looked at Mr. Lin and said. Lin Zhengtang opened it for his grandfather, and the old man picked up a spoon and scooped it out.

Spoon, and then carefully feel the rich feeling coming from your taste buds.

The five of us had dinner until late at night before leaving.

Wang Shi returned to his house in the courtyard, washed himself and lay down. Wang Shi lay on the bed and could not fall asleep for a long time.

Although I am considered a formal worker now, my monthly salary is too little, only 38 yuan. Repairing a car alone is worth several months' salary, and I have no freedom at work.

Forget about resigning. Anyway, the spring breeze of reform will soon blow across the country. Living on this dead salary is not what a time traveler should do.

Going into business is the right way. Wouldn’t it be nice to be a nouveau riche?

But I still have to go back and communicate with the old man about this matter.

Thinking of this, Wang Shi lost interest in going to work. Anyway, he had a way to make money, so forget it, don't take the 38 yuan.

The next day I asked Uncle Xie for leave.

"What, you're asking for leave again, do you have work to do?" Uncle Xie heard that Wang Shi had taken so many leaves recently, and guessed that he must have gone to do private work to repair his car.

Yes, if everyone does this, a repair would only cost a few hundred dollars, but a day shift here only costs more than a dollar.

"Uncle, I told you directly that I don't want to work anymore. One car repair is enough for a year's salary here." Wang Shi thought.

"You, you don't know how blessed you are. You don't know that there are so many young people returning to the city now. Many young people can't find jobs yet. It's better for you. You can't do such a good formal job. If you ask my old monitor

You know, why don't you break your legs?" Uncle Xie pointed at Wang Shi's nose and was about to do it.

"Anyway, I don't want to do it anymore. It's up to you. I have to ask for leave anyway." Wang Shi acted like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. He was so angry that the other party kicked him.

"Well, you don't have to go. I agree to today's leave. I will take you to meet someone in the evening. One of my comrades is also your father's comrade. His eldest son has just returned to the city and cannot find a job. If you don't want to

How about asking him to help you do it, retaining your position, and letting him get the salary?"

"That's best. I have no problem."

"Okay, let's settle it then. Come with me tonight. The other person is your father's old superior. He was your father's platoon leader when he was in the army. He now works in the First Machinery Industry Department." Uncle Xie said.

"What! Working in the First Machinery Industry Department can't help my son find a formal job. What a joke."

In September 1952, the First Ministry of Machinery Industry was established, and the Fourth Machinery Industry Administration Bureau was established within the ministry, responsible for the management of national power machinery (steam turbines, boilers, internal combustion engines, etc.).

There are 10 internal combustion engine professional factories directly under the Fourth Bureau, namely Shanghai Diesel Engine Factory, Xinzhong Power Engine Factory, Wuxi Diesel Engine Factory, Tianjin Power Engine Factory, Jinan Diesel Engine Factory, Weifang Diesel Engine Factory, Nanchang Diesel Engine Factory, Wuhan Power Engine Factory, Shanghai General Machinery Factory and

Chongqing Water Turbine Factory.

Such a powerful department cannot help my son find a formal job.

What does it mean to be a leader?

"You think everyone is as helpless as you. The old platoon leader has always been upright. It would be better to shoot himself if he lets himself go through the back door to help his son find a job."

Wang Shi heard Uncle Xie's permission, turned around and went home to sleep.

In the evening, Uncle Xie came over. Wang Shi took three kilograms of sausages that were divided between the three of them, which seemed to be more than a kilogram. The two came to each other's house.

Huang Jianqiang is six or seven years older than his father. When his father was in the army, he was his father's platoon leader. Later, he was injured and retired and now works in the First Machinery Industry Department.

"Why is Xiao Xie free to come here today?" Uncle Huang saw Uncle Xie coming and greeted him happily. "Who is this?" he asked when he saw Wang Shi.

"Old platoon leader, this is me. Wang Shi, the squad leader's eldest son, is working with his father over there with me now," Uncle Xie said.

"Wang Shi has met Uncle Huang, and I should have come to see you a long time ago. I'm not free for a while, so please forgive me, Uncle Huang." After Wang Shi finished speaking, he handed the sausage in his hand to the other party.

After the other party was polite, the aunt came out of the house. Uncle Huang handed the sausage in his hand to the other party and asked him to cook some vegetables and drink together in the evening.

After three people were seated, Uncle Huang made some tea, "Why don't you see Ziming?" Uncle Xie asked.

"Oh, I'm out." Speaking of his son, Uncle Huang's face darkened and he sighed.

"Old platoon leader, what happened?" The two of them were brothers who had fought together in the army and knew each other very well. Seeing the displeasure on the other's face, Uncle Xie asked.

"Well, my son is getting older too, but it's been a year since I returned to the city, and I haven't found a job yet. I've dated several people, but none of them have a formal job, and they all ended up being unemployed."

When Uncle Xie heard this, he looked at Wang Shi.

It seems like today is the right day.

The three of them were chatting, basically just two people, talking about some of the glorious deeds they had fought together in the past. Wang Shi became more and more impressed after hearing this.

Thanks to the tens of thousands of revolutionary ancestors of the older generation who shed their lives and blood, the country is now at peace. Although the country is in dire straits, things will get better day by day. This person who has lived in Wang Shi knows this very well.

An hour later, dinner was ready, and Huang Ziming was called back to eat with the three of them.

"Uncle Xie, did you bring this sausage here?" Huang Ziming picked up a thin piece of dark red sausage and looked at Uncle Xie and asked.

"How can I have such ability? This belongs to the big brother of the Soviet Union. This guy Wang Shi helped the consulate repair the car yesterday and gave it to me."

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Wang can repair cars, and he is a senior engineer." Huang Ziming looked at Wang Shi with envy when he saw that he could repair cars.

"Just average, third in the world." Wang Shi said with a smile.

The four of them chatted and drank a lot of wine, and then Uncle Xie explained the purpose of their visit today.

"No, no, how can I take your job? No matter how I explain it to Mr. Wang, I'm too embarrassed to see him." When Uncle Huang heard that Huang Ziming was asked to replace Wang Shi, he waved his hand to stop him.

"Uncle Huang, I've made up my mind. Now I pay a few hundred yuan to repair a car. I helped the Soviet big brother repair it once the day before yesterday. I earned 300 yuan in less than half a day, of which 100 yuan was foreign exchange. You tell me, I use it

Do you have to work in a machine shop? My car repair fee yesterday was equivalent to a year's salary. Anyway, I don't want to work. If you don't want to, I'll give that job to someone else."

Seeing what the other party wanted to say, Wang Shi continued: "I will tell my father. I think my father will also agree. Don't worry, it's not that I quit my job and have no place to make money. That's another matter.

."

"Old platoon leader, Wang Shi is right. This guy is quite capable, but he doesn't like the salary. Now is the time. Zi Ming needs this job. Don't you want to have your grandson soon?"

"But..." Uncle Huang was stunned when he thought of his grandson.

Huang Jianqiang wanted to say something, but at this moment the aunt outside the door rushed in, "Dad, please agree. It's not easy to find a job now. So many educated youths have returned to their hometowns to work as temporary workers. I don't know how many people there are.

They’re rushing to do it, and they even have to give gifts.”

My aunt was eavesdropping on the conversation between the four of them outside the door just now. She was very worried when she heard that Uncle Huang disagreed.

Now my son has been dating a few people, but it turns out they don't have formal jobs, and they all ended up falling out.

"Get out!" Uncle Huang saw his wife rushing up at this time. He was very embarrassed and yelled at her, "When men talk about things, why do women get in the way? They don't have any tutoring."

Seeing Uncle Huang getting angry, Auntie had no choice but to retreat, close the door, and stand outside to eavesdrop.

"Anyway, I ask for leave every day and my salary is deducted. Anyway, I quit. So, Uncle Xie, tomorrow you take me and Ziming to the factory and transfer my extra money directly to Ziming." This is considered official.

Let's get to work.

It can be regarded as us doing something good for the older generation of revolutionary ancestors.
