Chapter 120: Two Phoenix Men (Three Watches)
China has approved the purchase of vehicles by individuals for operation in 1984, and this policy was mainly to facilitate farmers to buy tractors for farming, and only later did individual households buy vehicles for transportation.
As for private cars, they were still a policy blind spot at that time, after all, ordinary people couldn't even afford one per capita, so what kind of private car policy to talk about!
So in those days, even if you had money, you might not be able to buy a private car, and even if you could buy a private car, you might not be able to license the car.
This is the limitation of the times, and many things are taken for granted now, but in the eighties, there was no policy support. At that time, if you want to do something, it is not enough that the policy does not prohibit it, you must have the policy to allow it.
If Li Weidong buys a car by himself, he can buy a Dafa van or something like that, which is cold in winter and hot in summer, with almost zero shock absorption, and there is always something wrong, which is not much better than a motorcycle.
Li Weidong simply asked Ma Dexing for help and asked the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Department to approve a slip, so that he could buy an imported car.
After handling the foreign exchange settlement, Li Weidong returned to Qinghe.
The first thing the multimillionaire Li Weidong did after returning to Qinghe was to give bonuses to the workers of the garment factory.
Wang Kaiping handed the form of bonus expenditure to Li Weidong, and only after Li Weidong signed it, he could issue the bonus.
Li Weidong looked at the numbers on it, picked up the pen and changed it.
"Ordinary workers, 200 yuan per person is too little, or 300 yuan per person, four workshop directors, each of them will also rise, from 2500 to 3000, as for Wang Jing, the production in the factory depends on his command, but the 5000 yuan bonus is a little less, give him 10,000 yuan!"
Li Weidong changed a few numbers, and then said: "Brother Wang, you go to the Canton Fair with me, it's also very hard along the way, and it's not enough to get a bonus of 500 yuan." ”
After Li Weidong finished speaking, he added a "0" to the number "500", and a "2" in front of it, and 500 yuan became 25,000 yuan.
"Director, this is not good, I can't get so much bonus. This is more than Wang Jing takes, and if it is passed out, the impact will not be very good!" Wang Kaiping hurriedly refused.
"Then don't spread the word. Li Weidong smiled, and then said: "You collect the money yourself, don't say it to the outside world." It's a bonus for your hard work, and it's not stolen. ”
Wang Kaiping is a confidant, of course he has to give money.
"I really can't imagine it, I, Wang Kaiping, still have one day to be a 10,000 yuan household!" Wang Kaiping sighed lightly and did not refuse.
Li Weidong continued: "Brother Wang, after the bonus is paid, there is still something for you to do. You help me go to the market and buy some cashmere fabric. ”
"Is it the kind of thing that makes the collar of a military coat?" Wang Kaiping is also an accountant of a garment factory, and he still knows a little about various clothing fabrics.
Li Weidong nodded: "It's that kind of thing, but as far as I know, there are many kinds of sheep shearling fabrics, some are long-haired, and some are short-haired. ”
"Factory director, do you want to develop new products again?" asked Wang Kaiping.
"That's right, in business, you can't eat all the fresh in one move, you have to innovate in the past. Li Weidong replied.
......
Although Wang Jing is the deputy director of the garment factory, he has no status at home.
Because Wang Jing came out of the countryside.
At that time, there was still no comparison between rural and urban hukou.
Wang Jing relied on his status as a disabled soldier and entered the transportation company after being discharged from the army, so he got an urban hukou, but he couldn't change his rural background.
And Wang Jing's wife is an authentic city person, and the whole family eats "treasury grain", and it is normal for such people to look down on Wang Jing from the countryside.
Even now, many families in the city look down on the phoenix man from the countryside, and in the 80s, when the urban hukou was particularly valuable, it became normal for the phoenix man from the countryside to be discriminated against.
As a disabled veteran of the army, Wang Jing has a very good starting point in the transportation company, after all, the state has preferential treatment for disabled veterans.
However, Wang Jing is a simple man, he doesn't know how to talk to his boss, and his personal ability is not outstanding, he only knows that he has worked hard for so many years, and he is only the deputy director of a garment factory, and he is not even a middle-level cadre of a transportation company.
The garment factory is a Qingshui Yamen, and the benefits are far inferior to those of the transportation company, so Wang Jing's salary is not much. As a man, he has no power, no money, and he is a phoenix man from the countryside, and his status in the family can be imagined.
On this day, Wang Jing returned home with the 10,000 yuan bonus he had just received.
Wang Jing just entered the house, only to listen to his wife complaining for a while.
"I just went to my dad's place, and the third sister and the third brother-in-law just bought a color TV for my dad, a few hundred yuan! When did you have the ability to add a color TV to our family!"
"Also, the second brother-in-law was promoted again a few days ago, and I heard that my salary has increased by more than 30 yuan, when will you increase your salary?
"Lao Lu next door bought a lady's bicycle for his wife, the permanent brand, red, but beautiful, there is no beam, it is convenient to get on and off the car!"
"Hey, I don't have the life of no one, married to you, I can't be an official, I can't earn money, I don't want anything, I work overtime every day, my life is hard!"
Wang Jing's wife complains every day, on weekdays, she said that she is used to it, and Wang Jing is used to it, even if Wang Jing's wife says it is ugly, Wang Jing will not talk back.
As a phoenix man from the countryside, there are still low self-esteem.
However, today, Wang Jing became angry, and he snorted coldly: "Are you finished? Hurry up and cook when you're done, I'm hungry!"
"Oh, it's against you! I said what's wrong with you! If you have the ability, you're still afraid of what others will say!" Wang Jing's wife walked over majestically, looking like she was going to fight with Wang Jing.
Wang Jing glared at him directly, but Wang Jing's wife was not afraid at all, like a shrew, she greeted her and said: "What are you staring at, what other skills do you have besides staring? Is it possible that you still dare to beat me! You fight, you will fight if you have the ability!"
Wang Jing has been a soldier, of course his skills are very good, and the ordinary two or three hooligans are really not Wang Jing's opponents, but Wang Jing has never beaten women, and Wang Jing's wife has never done anything no matter how hard she scolds every time.
Wang Jing's wife also knows that Wang Jing never does anything, so she is always presumptuous.
The clay man also has a three-point temper, and this time, Wang Jing really can't stand it.
I saw Wang Jing reach into his bag, take out something, and smash it on his wife's face.
"Oh, you dare to beat me! You dare to beat me, I can't live this day, I want to leave ...... you" Wang Jing's wife shouted, and before the word "marriage" could be spoken, she found that pieces of paper were falling from the sky.
Those who fell from the sky were "great unity".
Just now, Wang Jing smashed the pile of "great unity" on his wife's face, and then this pile of "great unity" was smashed and scattered, and his mouth flew all over the sky.
Wang Jing's wife looked around with a demented face, and the big unity was falling to the ground, and at this time she also realized that it was this banknote that hit her just now.
"Where did you get so much money?" asked Wang Jing's wife in surprise.
"I just gave out a bonus of 10,000 yuan. That's a thousand, and I have nine thousand in my bag. "Wang Jing is a simple person, and he doesn't talk much.
"10,000 yuan! We are now 10,000 yuan! Oh, how can you throw away money, you have to put it away quickly!"
Wang Jing's wife couldn't care about the pain on her face, she immediately leaned over to pick up the money, and asked in a low voice: "Are you hungry, if you want to eat something, I'll make it for you now!"
"Jajangmyeon. Three words popped out of Wang Jing's mouth, which was really a simple request.
Wang Jing has never eaten anything good, and of course, his daughter-in-law's craftsmanship can't make any delicacies from the mountains and seas.
"Okay, I'll fry the sauce for you now!" Wang Jing's wife stuffed a handful of money into her pocket, and secretly said in her heart, it feels so good to be hit in the face by money!
......
There were no secrets in the family homes of state-owned enterprises, and the news that the garment factories were giving bonuses soon spread throughout the family homes.
Aunt Wang pushed a brand-new bicycle and walked on the main road of the family home, greeting people when she met them.
"Xiao Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you lately? I'm okay, it's okay, it's not like I just gave out a bonus of three hundred yuan, and then went to buy a new bike. ”
"Sister-in-law, Brother Wang's arthritis hasn't happened again, right? This arthritis, you have to keep warm, and you have to cover it in summer. I'm still like that, I go to and from work every day, but fortunately, the benefits in the factory are okay, and I just paid some bonuses two days ago, and I bought a bicycle. ”
"Section Chief Chen, just got off work! Yes, the new bicycle I just bought, I plan to give our second girl to ride, the second girl is not admitted to the secondary school, I have to buy her a bicycle, and the factory just gave a bonus." ”
"Director Wang, you look good today, your face is ruddy and ruddy, what, are you angry with your son?
Look at the second girl in my family, she was also naughty when she was a child, and she could jump around better than a boy, and now she is also admitted to the secondary school. There must be rewards and punishments for educating children, and I don't count buying her a new bike as a reward. Thanks to the 300 yuan bonus from the factory. ”
On the other side, Wang Haibin smiled and didn't smile, and when Aunt Wang walked away, he pursed his lips and spat on the ground casually: "What kind of thing, isn't it just a bonus of 300 yuan, what is the smelly show! Do you think Li Weidong is really so kind to give you a bonus, he is obviously buying people's hearts!"
Wang Haibin scolded a few words, but his mood was even more depressed, he returned to his home with a gloomy face.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard someone shouting inside: "It's the eldest brother who is back!"
Wang Haibin looked in the direction of the sound and saw his younger brother Wang Haiyang sitting in the room.
"Haiyang, why are you here!" Wang Haibin walked over.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you, and by the way brought you some peanuts, which were just pulled out of the ground in the morning. Wang Haiyang said, pointing to a snakeskin sack stained with mud in the corner.
Wang Haiyang is Wang Haibin's younger brother and now works as a farmer at home.
Wang Haibin is also from the countryside, he is the only one in the family who has a city hukou, and his parents, as well as his brothers and sisters, are still in the countryside.
Due to the inconvenient transportation at that time, Wang Haibin would only go back to his hometown during the New Year's holidays.
"Are our parents well?" asked Wang Haibin.
"Fortunately, they can still work in the fields. Wang Haiyang paused, and then said: "Our mother also dried sweet potatoes, and I will bring them to you when you go back next time." ”
"Okay, I'll go back for the New Year. Wang Haibin said, looked at his wife who was cooking on the balcony, and then quickly took out thirty yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Wang Haiyang's hand.
Then Wang Haibin whispered: "Ocean, take this money back to our mother." Hurry up and put it away, don't let your sister-in-law see it. ”
Wang Haiyang nodded, and quickly stuffed thirty yuan into his pocket.
The two brothers exchanged a few more words, and then Wang Haiyang said: "Big brother, our family Wang Dong has finished junior high school and has also obtained a junior high school graduation certificate. Let's see if you can find a way to get him an errand in the city and let him stay in the city. ”
"Wang Dongdu graduated from junior high school, and now he has to join the work, this time flies so fast!" Wang Haibin nodded, falling into thought.
Wang Dong is the son of Wang Haiyang, that is, Wang Haibin's nephew.
Like this kind of rural family, Wang Haibin is the hope of the whole village, relatives and friends in the village go to the city, what seven aunts and eight aunts, big and small things will come to Wang Haibin, simply put, Wang Haibin is also the phoenix man of that era.
Over the years, Wang Haibin has also done a lot of things for relatives and friends in the village. Now that his younger brother has come to the door and wants to solve the job for his nephew, Wang Haibin certainly has no reason to refuse.
I saw Wang Haibin ponder for a moment, and asked: "Why don't you let Wang Dong come to the transportation company first, start as a temporary worker, find an opportunity in two years, and then turn him into a regular." ”
"That's great, it's good to be able to get into your transportation company, but it's a good thing you can't ask for. ”
Wang Haiyang paused, and then said: "Big brother, I heard that it is more difficult for temporary workers to become regular workers now, your Wang Lei, isn't it also several years to become a regular, can you see if you can arrange Wang Dong to the third industry first, and then talk about a formal establishment?"
"The establishment of regular workers in the tertiary industry is simpler. However, you have to think about it, the benefits of these three industries are not very good, and sometimes there are often arrears of wages, so it is better to be in the head office, at least the wages are paid on time. And after becoming a regular, the salary of the head office is also much higher than that of the third industry!" Wang Haibin said.
"Big brother, I heard that your transportation company has a tertiary industry, the benefits are very good, and there are bonuses, can you think of a way to arrange Wang Dong there." Wang Haiyang asked.
"Oh, which unit is it?" Wang Haibin immediately asked.
"Garment factory!" replied Wang Haiyang.
Wang Haibin suddenly felt that he was pricked in the heart by his younger brother.
Wang Haiyang said happily: "I inquired before I came, the garment factory has a lot of wages, bonuses, and if there is overtime, there will be overtime pay." I heard that they have just completed the task of earning foreign exchange through exports, and each of them has given out a bonus of 300 yuan! Hey, big brother, what are you doing with your chest?"
