Chapter 224 Negotiations are needed.
Probably because of the boycott by all the part-time tour guides and seeing Zhu Qiming's making money through harmony, Lin Yi finally slowly changed his attitude towards work.
Although a stable job is good, you can't make much money. He has been getting that fixed salary of more than 30 yuan, and it is not easy for him to even buy a bicycle. It is much easier to work part-time than to get a promotion and salary increase in the factory. If he wants to make money, he has to have a better attitude.
Lin's father couldn't help but say to him, working for your sister and brother-in-law, you have the ability to let your colleagues say that they don't want to partner with you after not working for long. I admire you too!
Lin's mother couldn't help but say when she heard it, "Then no one dislikes him so much when he works in the factory."
She must be upset that her own son was disliked by others! Ah Yan, Ming Che and Han Mei are really something, they didn't even say anything to help.
Father Lin said, "It doesn't matter how much you work in the factory, and he can't affect other people's wages. But the basic salary of the travel agency is low, and the bulk of the money depends on commission. So everyone, including Han Mei, is very motivated. But your son's work attitude is better than that in the factory, but it's still the same old way. He affects other people's wages, how can they not be anxious? What's the point of going to work, isn't it to earn a salary."
Lin Yi was also a little embarrassed at the time. If it weren't for this, he really didn't know that he was so unpopular with his colleagues at work.
Moreover, according to what his brother-in-law said, the iron rice bowl may not always be iron. In fact
, he was more convinced by his brother-in-law's words. The key is that the couple's daughter is too strong and the son is too weak, which is a bit unbearable. Playing cards with co-workers didn't make him very happy. Sometimes he would get angry when
he lost too much. It's better to earn more money. At least if he works hard, he can be less nagged. In addition, the prospect that his brother-in-law described to him was too good for the couple to drive a minibus, he drove the car and Han Mei sold tickets.
Yes, they saved money first. Since he could really take a leave of absence, he submitted a report to work for a travel agency. Formal drivers can earn two or three hundred yuan.
Han Mei was not very happy about this. She was doing a good job as an office director, why did she have to sell tickets?
The private mid-shift vehicles have not been officially launched yet, but she has seen the shady ones. The attitude of the drivers is much better than that of the bus drivers.
In addition, the attitude of private restaurants is much better than that of state-owned restaurants. Boss Cui and Sister Cui, and even brother-in-law's brother and sister-in-law are living examples.
She is the office director of a travel agency, and she doesn't have to face the passengers directly. Basically, there is no need to please people like this.
She said to Lin Yi: "Brother-in-law said this, don't you want me to continue to be the office director? I am competent at my job. It must be that you and your mother always go to him and your sister to ask them to manage this and that, which makes him a little annoyed and doesn't want to use relatives. You are so annoying!"
Han Mei found an opportunity to ask Fang Mingche directly. After working for a few years, the relatives are very familiar with each other. And this is also official business!
Fang Mingche said, "I really don't like mixing business and personal matters. However, driving a minibus will be very profitable in a few years. You can put all the money you earn into your own pockets. Also, Lin Yi is a person who will definitely not be able to resist those temptations when he has money. I'm just saying that. If you don't want to go at that time, it's up to you."
Since Lin Yi's work attitude has changed, Lin Yan asked Han Mei to arrange shifts for him. At first, he was asked to partner with Lao Cheng, and this big brother must be more tolerant.
But Lao Cheng and Fang Mingche have a good relationship and are not as afraid of offending Lin Yi as other employees.
After a while, Fang Mingche asked again, and Lao Cheng nodded, "Well, your brother-in-law's work attitude is much better. He finally looks like he wants to make money!"
It was June, and Qiu Yin, Wu Mingju and other people who were replaced came back. Lao Zhou and other family members also came back without exception.
Except for Lao Zhou, everyone else was a group activity. Moreover, staying behind would cause children to lose such a good job. The wife and children who stayed in the country would also be implicated.
As for Lao Zhou, Lingzi told him directly that if he did not go back on time, she would report to the Immigration Bureau. At that time, not only Lao Zhou, but also Yingzi would be deported. In order to keep this job, she said it and did it!
Yingzi immediately said: "You go back when the time comes. I stay outside, and there is still hope to get you out. If I am also deported, then our family will have no hope of getting out. Don't make your sister angry, she really can do it."
Lingzi is now dating a Chinese man, maybe she will have the opportunity to get married directly and get a green card. But if she is fired, it is hard to say how the situation will develop.
As for Yingzi, she is determined to wait for the amnesty order and the United States to issue her a green card.
My uncle's health is getting worse and worse. But as long as Teacher Fang's specialty store is there, she can at least get the identity of a non-staff staff member. Therefore, she is also very worried that her father will go undercover and then pit them and their sisters.
As the return date approached, Wang Dexian also came.
If Lao Zhou did not go back and affected the business of the travel agency, it would be strange if he and Xiao Fang did not make his family die.
As for other family members and tourists traveling abroad with the tour group, it was the same! It was just that they were much more tactful to say to these people. After all, Lao Zhou really didn't want to go back.
When she saw him, Lingzi hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, I have bought a plane ticket for my father."
Wang Dexian nodded, "Is it Aunt Zhou who will come next year? Your third child is not yet an adult, and he definitely can't come by himself."
If it was the third child of the Zhou family, the boy, they would definitely not let him go. What if
the Zhou couple went all out and sent the three children out and stayed in the country themselves. Then there would be nothing to threaten them.
Lingzi nodded, "Yes, it's my mother who came. Thank you Teacher Fang and Brother Wang for giving us the opportunity to visit relatives. We will not repay kindness with enmity."
Wang Dexian looked at Yingzi, "Is it so good to be a second-class citizen abroad?"
This girl used to have a good relationship with Qin Hua, and he watched her grow up.
Yingzi was not afraid of him, after all, they lived in the same alley.
She said, "You are the grandson of a senior leader, and your sister will receive various preferential treatments because of you. Of course, she doesn't have to do this. But in our family, if we want to cross the class, we can only do this."
Humph, if she was like Qin Hua, she would go to Tokyo if she wanted to, and come to New York if she wanted to. Would she be so like this? Do you really think she likes to take care of the dying elderly and the sick?
June was another month of intense exams. After the exams, Fang Mingche's family of four, plus Fang's father and mother, went to the state-owned restaurant on July 1 to attend Qiu Yin's wedding. Qiu Yin returned to China with her Chinese fiancé, whom she had been dating for more than a year.
Her fiancé's job was already confirmed, in a university in the capital.
She came back this time to serve as the acting president of the Capital Travel Agency. If she could be promoted before the National Day, Fang Mingche would definitely not give too little in red envelopes.
Besides, Yanyan and Changchang are actually learning English and Japanese with Teacher Qiu. Fang Mingche has never given a penny for tuition.
Grandma Qiu and Fang's mother said, "Three years ago, we didn't dare to imagine the good life we have today. To be honest, our family is really grateful to Mingche."
"Without Teacher Qiu and Qiu Yin, the foreign travel agency wouldn't have been able to open so smoothly at the beginning. We all helped each other!"
Qin Hua's family of three, as well as Wang Defang, also came. Wang Defang was talking to Fang Mingche, and Qin Hua was talking to Yanyan.
"Sister Qin Hua, did you get into your target school?"
"I don't know yet. The results of the high school entrance examination haven't come out yet. I hope it goes well! My brother said that I can either pay a high price with the money, or I can go to the United States for a trip."
Wang Dexian's club made money. Nowadays, the public security is not good, and many people want to have more self-protection capabilities. In addition to teaching people martial arts, they are also sending bodyguards to rich people.
However, he told Qin Hua that you can't have your cake and eat it too!
Yan Yan said, "Then I wish you all the best."
Qin Hua said, "Where are you going this summer vacation?"
Yan Yan said, "My dad has to review during the summer vacation. We can only go to Shanghai once, and then to Guangzhou and Hong Kong. This time, grandpa and grandma will go with us."
Shanghai is mainly to see how the homestay is operating, and Guangzhou is to see the travel agencies and specialty stores that have just opened. In addition, the specialty store in Hong Kong also opened last month. Aunt Minghui is in Hong Kong at the moment.
Well, Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt took Sister Tongtong and Xiaowu to Hong Kong a few days ago.
However, when their family went there, Fourth Uncle and his family had already returned. Because the house rented by the specialty store in Hong Kong is not big, it is impossible to accommodate so many people.
Fourth uncle and his family are going to stay in Guangzhou during the summer vacation. Their house has been renovated and has been aired for three months. In September, Sister Tongtong will go to school in Guangzhou.
Qin Hua was shocked, "Is your father planning to live and learn until he is old?"
"My father is not old."
After the wedding, Fang Mingche took his wife and children to Shanghai and Hong Kong. He only stayed in Shanghai for two days to see how the business was going. He stayed in Hong Kong for a longer time. After all, he already had a rented house, and it would not be too expensive to cook for himself.
Fang Mingche had to rush back to review, and he was going to return on the 7th.
"Mom and Dad, if you are used to it, you can stay a little longer. Ayan is planning to stay a little longer with the two children."
Fang's father shook his head, "We are not used to it. We can't understand what people say when we go out. We'd better go back to the capital with you."
They don't understand Cantonese or English. It's hard enough for the daughter-in-law to take care of two children alone. No matter how sensible Yanyan is, she is just a child under seven years old. Changchang is even younger, just two years and two months old. They should save her some trouble.
Fang Mingche took them back to Guangzhou first, also to see how the business was going. Then they went to Fang Mingfeng's house.
Fang Mingfeng's scrap collection station was not sold, and it was still managed by someone. He just flew back and forth to inspect it from time to time. It would be really convenient if the travel agency could help issue a letter of introduction for buying air tickets.
The scrap station would make money every day it was open! Living in the capital is not easy. But it is not easy for a family to live in Guangzhou.
Fang Mingche didn't care. When the Henan gang comes in the future, it will be good to have Brother Mingfeng to watch over and help each other.
After he returned to Beijing, he went directly to the self-study classroom of Peking University every day to review his lessons, leaving early and returning late. Sometimes he also had lunch there.
Peking University is so big, there are still places to eat without canteen meal tickets. At the very least, there are people running private small restaurants in the teacher dormitory area.
It was July 18th. He was having lunch when he heard two male students next to him discussing while eating. "The Falklands War ended today! Britain won."
Fang Mingche paused his chopsticks. This means that Mrs. Thatcher is coming to visit China. Choosing this time, she naturally wants to use the victory of the Falklands War to threaten China.
She really doesn't know the chief designer! That was the "steel company" that Chairman Mao personally commented on.
One is the Iron Lady, and the other is the steel company. In the end, the Iron Lady fell in front of the door of the Great Hall of the People.
Well, it should be said that the British top leaders don't know much about the Chinese. In March 1979, the Governor of Hong Kong visited China and even wanted to renew the lease of Hong Kong.
This was naturally rejected outright! The Qing government had to sign the cession and lease treaty because it lost the war. Today's China has been waiting for a long, long time to wash away this century-old national humiliation.
How could it agree to any unequal treaty?
When he finished his self-study that day and went home, Lin Yan also came back with her two children.
Lin Yan told him, "Hong Kong's property market is quite depressed, the decline is huge!"
Fang Mingche said, "After the negotiations are over, the market will be prosperous once the "Joint Declaration" is issued."
Lin Yan raised her eyebrows, "Is that so? Then should we buy a few office buildings and houses in Hong Kong while they are cheap?"
There are office buildings in foreign countries and Hong Kong, and the unit price is almost twice the house price. This is what they need, so they can buy it at a low price.
Fang Mingche said, "Wait a little longer, save some money first. Otherwise, everything will be mortgaged to the bank."
Now that the old foreign-style building in Shanghai is mortgaged, it is really possible to buy in Hong Kong.
But it is only 1982 now, it is still early. In 1983, the decline was even worse!
The Sino-British negotiations will last for two years and 22 rounds. The "Sino-British Joint Declaration" was not issued until 1984. Only then will Hong Kong's housing prices start to soar. If you go to buy at the bottom now, you will be standing halfway up the mountain.
Lin Yan thought about her family's debt ratio and nodded, "Okay! By the way, I heard that Qin Hua has gone to the United States?"
"Yes, she went online at the end of the trailer. She saved her brother the high cost. Now Lao Wang and his wife are taking her out to play. But they dare not walk and play all the way like we did last year."
Firstly, time does not allow it, and secondly, the wallet does not allow it. Lao Wang's money will make him a poor man in the United States. However, the couple lives much better than the government-sponsored people who went there with him.
Lin Yan said, "Hong Kong has so many things, and there are no tariffs! Can we import goods from Hong Kong and sell them back?"
Fang Mingche shook his head, "We don't have the import qualifications. Forget it, how can we make all the money!"
He went over and picked up Fang Chang and weighed him, "How many delicious foods did you eat in Hong Kong? Your face is so round. And Yanyan, I guess your dance teacher will be worried when he sees you."
Yanyan looked bitter, "I will lose weight starting today."
