Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is already the end of January.

If you have money or not, go home for the New Year.

Chinese New Year has a special meaning for Chinese people, especially for those who are away from home to work to support their families, and it may be the only time of the year when they can spend time with their loved ones.

Because the train tickets for the Spring Festival are difficult to buy, and some workers are far away, many factories in the south begin to have a holiday on the 20th of the lunar month, and the workers begin to return to their hometowns with large bags of luggage, and the streets and alleys of Shenzhen also have a little more New Year's flavor.

When Duan Yun was in the Red Star Gear Factory, the country's statutory holidays were usually from the 28th day of the lunar month to the third day of the first lunar month, but the workers of the Red Star Gear Factory lived in the local area, and there was no comparison with these workers who came all the way to work, so out of the consideration that these workers would go home safely, Duan Yun settled this month's salary for them in advance, and each person also gave an extra 100 yuan for the festival.

In fact, it is rare to see such a generous boss as Duan Yun, and the main reason is that the benefits of the electronics factory and the machinery factory have been very good since they opened this year, so Duan Yun is also willing to add more money to these workers.

However, like the state-owned enterprises in the past, private enterprises in Shenzhen are not allowed to pay wages and bonuses indiscriminately, because you cannot destroy the "market", and the wages can be higher than those of mainland workers, but not much higher than the average local wage level in Shenzhen.

Duan Yun will naturally abide by this "tacit understanding", but in order to make his factory attractive enough, Duan Yun's factory has always been the best among its peers in terms of food, other factories are generally cabbage and potatoes and stewed vegetables, and in Duan Yun's canteen, the workers have meat and eggs for three meals a day, and there are relatively many tricks, after all, the workers in the factory have a large workload every day, and they are easy to get hungry, and they can't do so much physical work if they can't eat enough.

By the beginning of February, most of the workers had already received their wages and bonuses and began to return to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year, except for some local workers in Guangzhou and a few workers who wanted to earn more money, and the factory suddenly became empty.

Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu have been very busy these days, in the morning they will go to the factory to direct workers to modify and maintain the equipment, and in the afternoon they will study the technical transformation plan in the office.

"Master Zhao, it's almost the New Year, or I'll buy you a sleeper ticket, and you'll come back after the New Year......" Sitting at the table in the cafeteria at night, Duan Yun sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Zhao Xuewu, and said in a concerned tone.

Duan Yun is still very grateful to Zhao Xuewu from the heart, if he alone during this time, he will definitely be very busy, because there is no very high level of technicians in the electronics factory at present, and the technicians hired from the Guangzhou state-owned electronics factory are not high, and they can only cope with the normal work in the factory, without technical attainments and original level, they can't stand alone, and Zhao Xuewu came to Shenzhen in advance this time, and he did help Duan Yun a lot, it can be said that Zhao Xuewu is very dedicated to his work in addition to being a little older, which makes the adults feel very satisfied。

Approaching the end of the year, Duan Yun couldn't bear to let such an old man stay in a foreign land for the New Year, so he wanted to give him a little more bonus and let him go back to Taiyuan for the New Year, and come back after the New Year.

"Forget it, our production line has just been installed, a lot of equipment needs to be modified, there are still many things to be busy, I am the chief engineer of the technology factory, this is the time when I am needed. Zhao Xuewu shook his head, and then said: "Besides, I'm an idle person, and it's not interesting to stay at home, my wife has children to take care of, and I don't need to go back to ......."

"But ......"

"I write a letter to my family every week, and my family knows what I'm doing, so you don't have to worry about it. Zhao Xuewu said lightly.

"Okay, I'll give you 4 times your salary during the Chinese New Year, and when you're busy for a while, I'll personally send you home to rest for a while. Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Those are all small things, what's the point of a big man always staying at home, to be honest, I work here in Shenzhen, I feel a lot younger, and people suddenly have a new goal in life, which is good, it's better than staying at home and getting a pension and waiting to die. Zhao Xuewu said with some emotion.

Because he was in a special era when he was young, Zhao Xuewu always felt a little unambitious in his life, from a young student full of enthusiasm to a calm and heavy middle-aged man, and then from a waveless middle-aged to retirement, he has been a mediocre teacher all his life, but from his heart, he has always wanted to make a career.

After coming to Duan Yun's electronics factory, Zhao Xuewu gradually regained the impulse and enthusiasm of his youth, and what he learned in his life finally had a place to use.

In these years, the older generation has deep patriotic feelings.

The last time I went to Japan with Duan Yun to visit, Zhao Xuewu was also very touched, he saw the huge gap between the technical level of the motherland and the developed countries in the world for the first time, which also gave Zhao Xuewu a lot of motivation to work, from the bottom of his heart, he still hopes to make some contributions to the development of the country's electronics industry.

"It's good to wait for the New Year, Professor Yang and Professor Peng will also come from Taiyuan after the New Year, and you won't be lonely when the time comes. Duan Yun said with a smile.

"That's great!" Hearing this, Zhao Xuewu's face flashed with joy, and then said: "I really didn't expect that I and a few of them were colleagues when we were young, and we became colleagues again when we retired, this is all fate." ”

"Our product technology research and development center will be established after the year, the office laboratory building will be completed in March at the earliest, and you and Professor Peng can move there, and I will also contact the universities in Guangzhou, so that they can send some students to come for internships, and get our factory's tape recorder products out as soon as possible." Duan Yun said.

Regarding the introduction of this new Japanese production line is still in an idle state, his plan is to first contact some manufacturers of tape recorders in Shenzhen to get a batch of OEM orders, first let this production line work as soon as possible, and then through product research and development, the production of its own brand of tape recorder products, and wait until the domestic Walkman breaks through the technical threshold, Duan Yun will produce the first batch of domestic Walkman.

Although Duan Yun's vision is relatively simple, it is actually very difficult to achieve the ultimate goal, everything is still in its infancy, and there is still a lot to do......
