In the Republic of the 80s, the urban hukou was the foundation for a person to legally obtain security in the city, and with this hukou it was possible to be included in the urban worker system, and if the unit was profitable, it could also participate in the distribution of housing and get a pension after retirement.

Zheng Jianguo used to look for self-study books to study on his own in order to wait for the college entrance examination, and he used the banner of participating in the recruitment of various units in the city, so that countless members of the club pointed fingers behind his back, saying that he wanted to daydream until he was admitted to university.

Up to now, Zheng Jianguo doesn't have to worry about the hukou, and even Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei have completed the transformation from members to workers at this time, but he didn't think about bringing more changes to his parents, the two old people have not been workers for a long time, and now they are most happy to go to work from 8 to 5 in the morning.

For Zheng Jianguo, in addition to his parents, who are related by blood, that is, the four sisters need to consider their feelings, and the relationship between the four sisters, at this time, there is no longer any talk of who is close and who is far away, they are all sisters of the same mother.

The eldest sister and the second sister got married early, according to the tradition of hundreds of thousands of years, it is the water spilled by the married daughter, a guy turns people's household registration into a town household registration, then it is not good to let the sister not fall in their family, after all, the vast majority of Chinese people live for a face, and the truth of Shengmien fighting Mi Qiu is an adult who knows that these two sisters need time to change.

And the third sister who is about to get married has no in-laws, only an uncle and aunt by her side, Zheng Jianguo arranged for him to take care of Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei when he promised to give Luo Gang enough respect, although he suspected that the purpose of this product approaching the third sister was speculative.

It is the nature of all living beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

As for the fourth sister, this sister is going to study on Hong Kong Island after the New Year, so you don't have to worry about what the household registration is, and in the future, it is difficult to go too high in the career of the country, but it is always no problem to find a top unit mixed in.

The reason why he put the money in Zheng Donghua's hands instead of handing it over to Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei was that he was afraid that because of the money, there would be friction between the two old men, and it would be a bit more than worth the loss, and it would be worth the loss.

Other relatives still need to be released, and the rest are Zheng Jianguo's few friends, three of Kou Yang, Luo Lan and Hao Yun and Li Tie in the first wave of the sequence have arranged their whereabouts, but Hao Yun is still an unemployed young man hanging in the air, in the name of working for a private company, which is quite a bit unavailable.

According to Zheng Jianguo's idea, he was going to send Hao Yun to Hong Kong Island to get a household registration and come back, but remembering that the brother Hao Han of this goods was a soldier in the army, it would be difficult to make his brothers turn against him, after all, the soldiers in the army suddenly had foreign relations - then get a Shencheng account for this goods.

Hao Yun's original hukou was the urban hukou, which is also the reason why he arranged to go to the capital to replace Zheng Donghua, otherwise he would find a member who was arrested in the past and sent back to be called a prickly chicken, but he went to work in the capital in the name of the joint venture company with this hukou, which in Zheng Jianguo's opinion is better than going to work there directly with the household registration of Shencheng, and even the reason has been thought of: "It should be the welfare given by the company." ”

Zheng Jianguo said this directly to Hao Yun himself, and the time was already more than nine o'clock after dinner, because Washington was 12 hours earlier than the capital, and it was not long before the sun rose on the other side of the earth: "When the time comes, you will have a deep city hukou, and it will be convenient to travel between the two places——"

"Thanks, this is going to cost a lot of money, right?"

Hao Yun's voice in the microphone was a little dry, and Zheng Jianguo didn't want the relationship between the two to deteriorate after hearing it, so he smiled and said: "The house is in your name first, when you have saved enough 50,000 yuan, and then give you the house book." ”

"Oh, that's fine, I felt too much when I first got paid, and I'm actually overjoyed if you gave me a hundred dollars-"

Hao Yun's voice regained some of its previous meaning, but Zheng Jianguo didn't think much about it: "Jianguo Company is now a foreign-funded company, and the salary and treatment in it are set in accordance with the relevant requirements, and the basic salary of the supervisors is 2,000 yuan, plus an expatriate subsidy of 1,000 yuan, which is not only available to you, the administrative director."

When you go to Shencheng to go through the formalities, you will know that there are still a large number of twenty or thirty supervisors in the project department in Yangcheng, if your salary is reduced so much, then it will be difficult for them to do it, and you can't treat it differently, so that you can almost save enough in a year or two——"

Due to the banner of being registered in the British Virgin Islands, the treatment of Jianguo Company after its establishment is also formulated with reference to the average level of Hong Kong Island, which is 2,000 Hong Kong dollars for ordinary clerks, which is higher than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars for ordinary workers and 3,000 Hong Kong dollars for teachers.

And taking this as the standard, going up to the supervisor is 6,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is about 1,900 yuan and less than 2,000 yuan when converted into RMB at the exchange rate of 3.1, plus the subsidy of 1,000 to 2,000 Hong Kong dollars for working in different places, plus other benefits and bonuses, the average monthly salary is about 9,000.

Zheng Jianguo was afraid that Hao Yun would be extravagant when he had money, so he didn't directly open his mouth to give him the house he wanted to buy, after all, there are still 3 years before the crackdown, don't let this goods take the money to cause trouble: "There are also two household registration places, you can use it if you see who your relatives need, it's okay to read more books, especially foreign languages, I remember which school opened a night school cram school, you go to learn." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, are you okay over there?"

Hao Yun was obviously a little deeply moved, and it was rare to care about Zheng Jianguo, who was also a little crying and laughing when he heard the care between buddies for the first time this year: "I'm not bad, now I have money and some grades, but the more I learn, the more I feel how ignorant I am, so you have to learn English well, I heard that the English in last year's college entrance examination is not only calculated as one-third of the score, and this year it is likely to be all included in the total score——"

Compared with the previous two college entrance examinations, last year's college entrance examination in 1979 was not only a change in the inclusion of English test papers in the total score, but also a change in the time regulations, that is, since last year, the annual college entrance examination has been set for the three days from July 7 to 9.

In addition, there is a difference in the proposition, the cancellation of the previous provincial proposition, changed to the unified proposition of the Ministry of Education, and the other changes are that the previous age limit has been narrowed from 30 years old to 25 years old, of course, some special talents can be relaxed to 28 years old by the unit.

Zheng Jianguo vaguely remembered that when graduates were required to participate this year, there was a knock on the closed door, and Jiang Lu's voice came in from outside: "Jianguo, Xu Mi has come to see you." ”

"Oh, that's hung up first, Hao Yun, Happy New Year. ”

After putting down the phone, he stepped on the cotton slipper and opened the door, Xu Mi looked at Zheng Jianguo's face with concern, and said, "I heard that you went to get some medicine?"

"Two tablets, to test whether it is a nervous breakdown, now it seems that it is not. ”

Zheng Jianguo shrugged his shoulders and picked up the bag on the sofa next to him and put it on the side of the bed: "Xu Mi, please take a seat." ”

"Don't sit down, I'm just here to see you, you're half a doctor now, you should know how to rest and adjust your state, you feel nervous breakdown at a young age, I said do you want to go for a check-up?"

Xu Mi heard the news from the infirmary, and he also inquired about the role of diazepam before he came, even if he heard Zheng Jianguo say it at this time, he was still a little uneasy: "This way everyone can rest assured." ”

"Thanks, you said I'm half a doctor, I'll pay attention to that. ”

Refusing Xu Mi's suggestion again, Zheng Jianguo listened to him and advised: "Okay, then you can rest early today, and you won't participate in the evening activities." ”

The embassy has a Chinese New Year's Eve event, inviting some overseas Chinese celebrities and international friends, of course, most people will not wait until Chinese New Year's Eve passes, show up to take a photo after attending the opening ceremony, and then they can also withdraw one after another.

Zheng Jianguo participated once last year, and the purpose of coming here this year is also to show up, and now he can take a good rest after Xu Mi's instructions, but he didn't expect to take a red envelope the next morning: "Happy New Year!"

"You gave it?"

Glancing at Zhao Liangliang's somewhat puffy face and his melon seed face, Zheng Jianguo listened to this thing and said: "How is it possible, I don't have that much money, this is given by the ambassador, 188 cents, everyone has a share-"

"Oh, the ambassador's heart, then I will accept it, the ambassador's advantage has not been taken advantage of. ”

Zheng Jianguo took it and put it in his wallet with a smile, and then looked up to find Zhao Liangliang staring at him speechlessly: "You seem to be ridiculing what you say, don't say it when you go out." ”

"Then how dare I, don't over-interpret it, I was busy until late yesterday?"

Zheng Jianguo said nonsense that was not nonsense, and Zhao Liangliang also said the answer that was not the answer: "To be exact, I am busy until today, let's go, let's go drink soy milk that can be sweetened——"

"Huh-"

Looking at this product and smiling, Zheng Jianguo picked up his coat and followed Zhao Liangliang out of the door, and listened to him speak: "How about sleeping, do you feel before taking medicine." ”

"No, it's okay now, it's just a test for you to get the medicine, and now the results of the experiment are out, and I'm refreshed after a good night's sleep, I suspect it's the problem with the cheap coffee I bought last time." ”

Zheng Jianguo's habit of drinking coffee has been since he came to the United States, of course, the coffee he bought before was instant products, and after he had money, he also bought a coffee machine and coffee beans to make it himself, but the last time the coffee machine was broken, he was greedy for trouble and didn't let people fix it, so he bought some instant coffee in the supermarket casually, but he didn't expect that the state was a little wrong during this time.

"You're not going to buy bargains now, are you?"

Zhao Liangliang glanced at Zheng Jianguo with curiosity on his face, the two of them had already arrived at the elevator door, and the latter said: "I don't want to save trouble, now I think about it so I can't tell if it's the effect of medicine or the problem of coffee, after going back, you can see if it's a matter of coffee, do you know the relationship between the domestic motor factory and the mold factory?"

"What do you want to do?"

At this time, the elevator door opened, and Zhao Liangliang saw two people standing inside after asking, and nodded quickly and said: "Cui Mi, happy New Year, this is Zheng Jianguo, our international student, Jianguo, this is Cui Mi, in charge of the military-"

"Hello Cui Mi. ”

Obviously he was a military attache but was introduced as a secretary, Zheng Jianguo didn't think about the problem, but called it according to Zhao Liangliang's introduction, and Cui Mi's resolute face showed a smile: "Jianguo, how is it, you feel better after a night's rest, right?"

"It's much better, I was talking to Zhao Mi before, it should be the reason for the inferior coffee I bought some time ago-"

Saying that, he followed Zhao Liangliang into the elevator to see him close the door and continue to go down, Zheng Jianguo also chatted with Cui Mi quite easily, and the latter nodded at the corner of his mouth after hearing it: "If there is a problem, you should confirm the reason as soon as possible, you live in a foreign country alone, and if you have something, you can tell Xiao Zhao directly." ”

"Okay. ”

The elevator opened on the second floor, Cui Mi led people away, Zhao Liangliang closed the elevator door after Zheng Jianguo, glanced at him and said: "Cui Mi just came from China, it is said that he came down from the front line of southern Xinjiang, what do you do with the motor factory and the mold factory?"

"I saw that the electric fans in the supermarket were produced on Hong Kong Island and the other side, so I thought that now Jianguo Company has no business except for the East Lake New Village project, whether it can build an electric fan factory, and as far as I know, electric fans have no technical content, as long as the motor and appearance are passable, they can be sold for money——"

Zheng Jianguo pretended to say unintentionally, in fact, this is the idea he has long thought of from the real estate industry to the manufacturing industry, of course, the inspiration is not made up by himself, but from where in his memory, I heard that a world-class company started from the production of electric fans, but he has not found it for so long.

"Do you want to export it or sell it domestically?"

The two of them got out of the elevator one after the other and turned towards the cafeteria, Zhao Liangliang's curiosity also came up, he could hear Zheng Jianguo's meaning to export, but this matter involved the content of the following conversation, and he also asked by virtue of the relationship between the two: "It's easy to say that the export is good, you can place an order directly with the Ministry of Light Industry, and my brother guarantees that you get the cheapest and best all the way——"

"It must be exported, and you can't exchange it for foreign exchange if you earn RMB in China-"

Hearing the news that was similar to the one in his memory, Zheng Jianguo nodded and said: "After my understanding, Hong Kong Island and the other side of the strait can be sold here, the most important thing is that the price is cheap, 49 US dollars and 99 cents a unit of local production, most of them are around 20 to 30 US dollars, the reason why it is so cheap is because of the low labor cost, I feel that we are very competitive in this regard, you can try it." ”
