Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.
For companies like automobile manufacturers, which have high technological content and high barriers to entry, Wang Shouren wouldn't dare to go out and shout, "This is made in our country!" even though everyone knows that. But he still wouldn't dare to make such a statement.
Shouting like that will attract countless attacks.
It's not a big deal if he's being targeted, but if it leads to sanctions on an entire industry chain, that would be a real problem.
"Like boiling a frog in lukewarm water." Qin Tian scratched his chin. "I get it."
Stop after three minutes; some things are better left unsaid. Saying too much can easily lead to trouble.
"Who knows, there might be quite a few surprises from the common people," Wang Shouren said with a smile, then fell silent.
folk.
That's even more interesting.
The group ate dinner at Wang Shouren's house.
Qin Tian brought over quite a few good things, such as lobsters, abalone, and a lot of seafood.
He knew that Wang Shouren's household had plenty of wild animals, but seafood was a rare sight.
Having a meal like this occasionally is a nice treat.
After a satisfying meal, Qin Tian and Qin Shou left. Their home was near Wang Shouren's, though Qin Shou's was a bit further away and required a car. However, judging from his drunken state, he would probably go home to sleep tonight.
"Life is getting better and better, but there are also more and more things to do. If you asked me to make this jerky before, I would never have done it, even if you beat me to death." Qin Huairu sighed and looked at the jerky on the table. It was simply extravagant. Jerky, made from meat, is going to shrink, and shrink quite a bit, even though it can be sold for more money.
But in her view, it was a waste.
"With increased production, we always have to find ways to make things better. It's a good thing that things are getting better and better, isn't it?" Wang Shouren smiled.
As people get older, they often find themselves complaining that the next generation doesn't know how to manage their lives, unaware that this could be considered a sign of progress.
Just like the first batch of employees who entered the car factory, they were doing quite well.
Zuo Yan happily rode his bicycle out of the factory and headed towards Tiantongyuan.
His home is in Phase 1 of Tiantongyuan.
Back then, he went into considerable debt to buy this apartment, even shocking his own mother. When Tiantongyuan first went on sale, the internal price was 2,000 yuan per square meter, but he heard that outside, the price for the first phase could even reach 5,000 yuan per square meter. At that time, his salary simply couldn't afford a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.
He felt that perhaps the most successful investment he had ever made was buying this place.
He didn't know how he could have been so bold as to buy it so readily, spending over 200,000 yuan.
To put it simply, what's so great about Tiantongyuan?
For Zuo Yan, everything was perfect. Downstairs was a garden where she could take walks, and there were stairs to the stairs, so her mother wouldn't have to suffer. Besides, in the summer, she no longer smelled that unique odor of the courtyard house. The family was clean and tidy, and keeping the house a simple affair. You wouldn't understand the ins and outs of living in a tenement without experiencing it firsthand.
Sometimes, it can drive people crazy.
You can argue for ages over the smallest things, and you can't show weakness, or they'll just keep bullying you.
Zuo Yan lost his father at a young age. He and his mother were at the very bottom of the social hierarchy in this tenement compound, used to being bullied, and had a terrible impression of the compound. He couldn't wait to leave this wretched place.
Zuo's mother couldn't understand his thoughts, but she let him be. After all, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and since their factory was willing to pay, Zuo's mother didn't mind.
In fact, after the "Tongtianyuan" was completed, Wang Shouren specifically set aside a sum of money and told everyone that if they wanted to buy, they could apply for a loan from the company, which was willing to lend them the money. Of course, there were requirements for this level, and Zuo Yan was lucky; that year, he just met the requirements. Xiuli, on the other hand, was extremely worried.
When she was in debt for the first year, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep for several nights.
Two hundred thousand...
This must be incredibly torturous for someone who finds happiness in eating a chicken leg.
Fortunately, Zuo Yan did not disappoint them. Over the years, his rank has gradually increased, and his salary has become increasingly outrageous.
Most importantly, he is willing to learn.
He keenly noticed that the factory's standards for hiring were constantly rising.
After the first batch of recruits at the end of 1979 had no requirements, by the end of 1980, at least a junior high school diploma was required. By 1983 and 1984, a high school diploma was required.
Later on, they even started requiring college students.
However, the requirements for ordinary workers were no longer being raised, and he realized the importance of knowledge. Without knowledge, it would be impossible to advance to the next level! So, he kept studying hard, and he signed up without hesitation every time there was a learning opportunity in the factory. After so many years, he finally became a mechanical engineer, although he was not among the top in the factory.
But he is also considered a tech-savvy person.
In the factory, the starting salary for technical staff is five thousand yuan, which is for recent college graduates.
He, on the other hand, had paid off his debts several years ago, and his son had successfully been admitted to university. The only downside was that the university was in another city, not in Beijing. This made his wife somewhat nostalgic and a little unhappy.
I had just gotten back when I heard my wife on the phone, nagging at our son for ages.
He only put down the phone after hearing that Zuo Yan had returned.
“I’m telling you, you should go out more often. Many of our neighbors are from our factory. Staying cooped up at home all day isn’t good. You’re always thinking about your children. This won’t do.”
"I...sigh, I don't know what I can do either." Xiuli sighed.
She knew it all too well.
Working under Wang Shouren, Zuo Yan valued knowledge highly. Therefore, when he returned home, he would teach his wife. Xiuli was initially reluctant to study, but Zuo Yan said, "When the brat goes to school and doesn't understand anything, what will you do if he doesn't get into university?" Only then did she begin to study.
But after her son and daughter went to school, she didn't know what to do next.
"How about you go sell fried chicken legs?" Zuo Yan pondered for a moment and said.
His wife has a particular fondness for chicken drumsticks, especially fried ones, not the kind developed in Qinjiacun. He thinks his wife's fried chicken drumsticks taste better than those from Qinjiacun, which is at least something to be proud of.
