Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....
The little girl Chen Wenxin is sixteen years old this year. She has developed well and the apron she wears just highlights her slender waist.
He even twists his butt when he walks.
Are you twisting it for me to see?
Wan Feng quickly shifted his gaze. He didn't seem to be a Liuxia Hui-like character. If Chen Wenxin was determined to seduce him, he might give in.
He also admitted that all men were bad.
After eating two steamed buns and a bowl of soup, I felt warm all over.
Wan Feng took out two cents and put them on the table and said generously, "No need for change."
Chen Wenxin curled her lips: "If you give me ten yuan and say you don't need change, I definitely won't give you change. Two cents..."
That means two cents is too thin.
Don’t give up. You can have a meal next time for only one cent.
"Boss Wan, everything is good here, except for the inconvenient transportation. It's extremely inconvenient for us to get in and out."
Some of the people eating at the snack bar knew Wan Feng and gave him suggestions.
"Actually, if you guys are doing a lot of business and buying goods in your area, you could rent a bus together and come over. Where are you from?"
"Wushan."
Wushan is located northwest of Shenyang, about five hundred miles away from Wahou.
"How many people are doing business in your area?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "Probably a dozen or so."
"How much does it cost for you to come here by bus or train?"
"More than ten yuan."
“How many times do you have to reverse the car in between?”
"If you go directly to Wahou, you'll have to reverse the car four times."
Wan Feng calculated and said, "Next time you come to buy goods, you can unite these dozen or so traders and get the goods together. Then, each of you can contribute fifteen yuan. I think we can hire a bus to make the round trip, right?"
The man pondered for a moment: "Almost."
"That's it! The cargo basket on the roof of the bus and the space inside the bus can almost accommodate your goods. You can also go directly to the back of the bus, saving the trouble of backing up and the cost. Another important thing is that you can plan your time yourself. For example, you can leave home in the evening, come here to pick up the goods the next morning, and then go back at noon or afternoon. How convenient."
This is not Wan Feng’s invention. This is almost the way of purchasing goods in later wholesale markets.
For example, the parking lot of Xiliu Market is full of various large buses during the day. Wan Feng simply used the existing method.
"Right! Now that you mention it, isn't it a simple matter? Even if we can't hire a bus, can't we just hire a Jiefang with a canopy?"
Several out-of-town customers in the snack bar heard what was said and were silently calculating the feasibility of Wan Feng's plan.
As long as Wan Feng is not stupid, he estimates that it won't be long before a freight bus enters the depression.
I wonder if the road that goes directly to Cuitun has been repaired?
After coming out of the snack bar, Wan Feng wandered to the team headquarters. Zhang Xian was chatting with several security guards in the security team's office.
The security team has now expanded to more than 20 people, divided into day and night shifts.
Because of their existence, the public security in Wahou is very good, and there are almost no acts of bullying, fraud and deception.
A few days ago, some outsiders who came here to make money through illegal means came here and set up a scam, but they were discovered. They were beaten up by the security team and thrown into the Inna River. Since then, no one dared to mess around in Wahou anymore.
Wan Feng went in and chatted with the security team for a few times. When he saw that there were still lights on in the research workshop of the machinery factory, he turned back into the machinery factory.
This workshop belongs to the technicians who were recruited from other places by the machinery factory at high salaries. These people have been in the machinery factory for more than two months. They have successfully researched and developed an 18-horsepower single-cylinder diesel engine and are now working on a single-cylinder diesel engine with more than 25 horsepower.
These high-power diesel engines can be used on four wheels as well as three wheels.
Wanfeng tends to be installed on one-ton or one-and-a-half-ton tricycles.
Even if you don't use it now, you can keep it as a technical reserve for future use.
Several key members of this team used to be technicians from Tai'an Diesel Engine Factory. After Tai'an Diesel Engine Factory went bankrupt, they were assigned here by the machinery factory.
Wan Feng did not disturb their work. He just watched silently at the workshop door for a while and then quietly retreated.
….
In late autumn and early winter, the world began to change noticeably. The mountains, rivers, and land all changed their appearance, from lush and green to bleak.
As if in response to the change of seasons, some changes also took place in the Jiangwei Brigade, and Zhang Hai became the brigade secretary.
Because of the existence of the depression, the industrial and agricultural output value of the Jiangwei Brigade has been transformed from the two most backward brigades in the Yongshi Commune to the richest brigade in the Yongshi Commune.
The former brigade secretary retired with honor because of this achievement.
He is old now, over 60 years old. Although there is no retirement system in rural areas, it is time for him to give up his life to the young people.
So Zhang Hai, who led Wahou to achieve outstanding results, became the successor of the brigade secretary.
In fact, Zhang Hai was not very willing to go to the big team. The big team was just an empty shell now. It had nothing. It was not as comfortable as staying in the small team.
But this was Secretary Liang's intention. At that time, the brigade cadres were still appointed by the commune, so he had to go even if he didn't want to.
He went to be the brigade secretary, and the position of team leader fell to Zhu Ping.
Perhaps because Zhu Ping was too young, Zhang Hai appointed Liang Wan as deputy team leader, mainly in charge of agriculture in Wahou, while Zhu Ping was mainly responsible for industry.
So, Zhu Ping became the youngest captain of the entire Warrior Commune.
These have nothing to do with Wan Feng, and he can't be the one.
How can a new official not start a fire when he takes office?
The first thing Zhang Hai did when he took office was to set off a bomb: "Strive to become the brigade with the highest output value in the city in 1983..."
Zhu Ping is relatively low-key in doing things. He never makes a fuss and lives a quiet life.
He doesn't need to do anything now. He just needs to make sure the current situation can continue to move forward steadily and protect the achievements.
The only thing he has to do is to develop the hardware behind the depression, that is, to build the market.
Another thing is that the dividend system of Wahou has been changed this year.
Last year's dividend distribution system was something Zhang Hai came up with on the spur of the moment. Later on, he realized that the distribution plan was unreasonable. Since it was a dividend distribution, the people left behind, even if they were shareholders holding shares left behind, did not seem to get any dividends under the distribution method Zhang Hai had used last year.
The descendants of Wa had some complaints about last year's dividend plan.
The rules this year are: people who hold a Wahou household registration are shareholders of the collective, so they have the right to dividends, while people from other places who work here are not shareholders of the Wahou enterprise because of their household registration, so they have no right to dividends. They can only get the salary and year-end bonus they deserve.
The specific distribution ratio is: of all the profits of Wahou this year, the team will keep half as public accumulation, which will serve as a fund for various investments of Wahou in the future. Then, a certain proportion of the remaining half will be used as bonuses to be awarded to the machinery factory, rubber shoe factory and brick and tile factory. The rest will be distributed equally to the shareholders of Wahou.
