Chapter 10 [Dong Zhengxiang]
The next morning.
The entrance of the Wentian Pavilion store on Changling West Street.
and Li Mowen's Weibo account also announced the latest developments.
[Due to the consideration of the number of guests who come to ask for hexagrams, it not only delays everyone's queuing time, but also makes the master too tired!]
[The following program rules are hereby re-stipulated!]
[Wentian Pavilion is open from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 13:30 p.m. to 18:30 p.m.]
[Rest time: Monday, Friday, two days of fixed rest closed closed to the public!]
[Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, only Ping An Thousand Paper Cranes will be available for purchase, and the lucky ones will be randomly selected to give special tips!]
[Every Saturday and Sunday, only the content of the career direction hexagram will be opened, and the lucky ones will be randomly selected to give special tips!]
[Special tips include: Lucky Tips, Career Tips, Health Tips, Sports and Artistic Talent Tips.] (Please note that the probability is very low, just look at fate!)]
As a result, the workload is significantly reduced.
The reason why Li Mowen is so optimized is largely because his career development is long-term, not because he is in a hurry to do things today and tomorrow.
And for the vast majority of office workers, it is more appropriate to choose Saturdays and Sundays for customers who are asking about career development.
In this way, you can take care of everything.
And it was very smooth to limit the flow of people and ease their daily work.
β¦β¦
At the moment, it is in a commercial pedestrian street where people come and go.
A middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eighteen walked out of the bank with a heavy heart.
He stood at the intersection and looked at the passers-by, with an indescribable hint of sadness between his eyebrows, saying that people are the most difficult time at this age.
Because there are retired old people to support above, and there are children who are studying below, and their hearts are broken.
You will find that the whole world seems to depend on you, but you can't find someone to rely on.
The tiredness is like a drop of water dripping from a leaky faucet, which may not seem to have much effect at first, but as time goes by, you will gradually feel like you are out of breath.
This age is very embarrassing and a watershed.
Some people live like a fire and a brilliant scenery, like a winner in life.
Some people are full of chicken feathers, exhausted, and can't find the direction of life.
You no longer have the momentum you had when you were young, and you have lost the yearning for ideals and dreams, and the only thing you pray for is to live in a comfortable life, slowly waiting for time to grow old and your children grow up.
From a state of being in his twenties, with sharp edges and corners, to a mature middle-aged man who is cautious in words and deeds, sleek and sophisticated.
Dong Zhengxiang stood at the door of the bank like this, and he took a deep breath.
In the past two years, the economic recession has been silent, and all walks of life have become sluggish.
Because migrant workers receive fixed wages, they are very slow to the changes in the market and the economy.
Whether it is the catering industry, or the clothing industry, the real economy or the network economy, the real estate market, the car market, the stock market......
are slowly declining, and everywhere there are revelations that there is no crisis.
In recent years, the per capita debt ratio of the younger generation has become higher and higher, and the amount of debt has been rising.
All kinds of credit cards can be used at will, and even the Internet is full of so-called threshold-free loans, which allow young people to overdraft their future consumption, resulting in a false boom in the economy.
In fact, when the main force of this batch of overdraft consumption is weak, the recession of the economy is particularly palpitating.
When people are poor, their desire to consume decreases, corporate profits decrease, and employee layoffs and benefits and salaries decrease.
Employees get less wages, and there is little left after Huabei repays the various white slips they owe, and their desire to consume continues to decrease.
This eventually creates a vicious circle.
Wages have not risen, and prices have risen every year.
Coupled with the severity of the international situation this year, and the swine fever, even the price of pork has risen, so that many aunts can't afford it.
Dong Zhengxiang touched the cigarette again, nodded with a complicated expression, and took a puff vigorously.
It's hard, it's really getting harder.
He was in a complicated and uncomfortable mood, and had just finished paying his employees.
The company's working capital has reached the lowest value in the past two years, and even if it is said that it is not able to receive business, I am afraid that within half a year, the salary will not be paid.
At this moment, his phone was ding.
It was the content sent by his son in WeChat: "Dad, the teacher said that he would pay for the exercise book the day after tomorrow, and the milk was drunk, can you give me an extra 300 yuan?"
Dong Zhengxiang's eyes suddenly turned a little red, it was not that he couldn't take out the three hundred yuan.
It's not that I think it's a lot of money.
It's the feeling that there are old and young, and there are several people in the company waiting for their salaries makes him feel so uncomfortable.
It's as if I've never tried it so hard in my life.
He squinted and took a puff of his cigarette and transferred five hundred yuan to his son.
200 yuan for living expenses, plus 300 yuan for books and milk.
Dong Zhengxiang gasped for breath.
He is the owner of a renovation design company and has not received any clients for a long time.
It seems that everyone's economy is not good, and this kind of non-hard expenditure can be saved.
Dong Zhengxiang came to his car, pulled the door and sat down, a car like them still needs to support the faΓ§ade, so he drove a second-hand Cayenne, which was quite passable.
The car drove slowly on the road, and the mobile phone screen lit up because of a call from his colleague.
At the beginning, the two worked in the same design company, and later they had the same ambition and came out together to raise a sum of money to open their own company.
Dong Zhengxiang clicked on the amplification, and then shouted with a smile: "What's wrong?"
The voice of his friend Chen Guanjie came out of the phone, and the other party seemed to be in a low mood, "Daxiang, the salary has been paid?"
"It's sent, it's estimated that it will last for half a year! I'm wondering if we should ......."
However, before Dong Zhengxiang finished speaking, he continued to speak on the phone: "My daughter-in-law has been talking to me for a night, and I have been thinking about it for a long time, so let's just come here." β
Suddenly, Dong Zhengxiang stepped on the brakes with a pale face.
He swallowed a mouthful of water, picked up his phone anxiously and asked, "No, what's here?"
"We haven't reached the point where we can't afford to pay our salaries, and after a while, Anwar Decoration City is not still an event, let's go around and take orders. Dong Zhengxiang said in disbelief.
Chen Guanjie said in a bitter tone: "I'll tell you the truth, I lost more than 100,000 yuan in stock speculation a while ago. β
"I borrowed my father-in-law's money, and now my father-in-law is a little unwell. β
"You said that we have been for half a year, let alone half a year, there has been no improvement this year. β
"Now that the salary has been settled, let's sum up how much there is left, let's divide it!"
Dong Zhengxiang's mouth opened slightly, and he leaned the car on the edge of the sidewalk, acting a little helpless.
Because the news was a nightmare for him.
He tightened his brows very hard, and the word "Chuan" appeared on his forehead, and then he pressed his voice and asked, "How much is the difference, I'll make up some for you first." β
Chen Guanjie also sighed, "It's not a matter of money or not, I also made up this money, I'm really cold and disappointed." β
"You also know the current situation, does it make sense to continue to hold on?"
"You see day by day, they either play with their mobile phones or gossip at work, and the orders they receive are not enough for the rent of the office. β
"It's a small amount of money, but it's ...... But I don't see hope!"
"At least in the past few years, two or three years, I think it's really no fun. β
"In a few years, when the environment is good, let's think about it again?"
Dong Zhengxiang gritted his teeth and covered his forehead with difficulty, he didn't know what to say, because he also knew that it was not a good result to force it on.
Even if you really go to the decoration city to receive two orders, it is only enough to pay two months' salary.
He asked with difficulty, "Old Chen, are you really hard-hearted?"
"What are we going to do if we don't do this?"
"Otherwise, we'll quit them and quit the office, okay!"
"Just return to the beginning, if you have an order, you will take it, and if you don't have an order, let's see what to do, and at least we can eat together. β
Chen Guanjie fell into hesitation, of course he was a little reluctant in his heart, after all, he had spent so much effort over the years.
The phone went blank, and no one spoke.
Long.
Chen Guanjie spit out a sentence: "Okay, then you can tell them!"
With that, there was a beep, and the phone hung up.
Dong Zhengxiang gasped for breath, he pounded the steering wheel very worriedly, in fact, the employees below did not have much salary, and they were all paid basic salaries if they didn't receive orders.
So he felt that it was okay to get through it.
He held his mobile phone in his hand, opened the WeChat group, and looked at the group chat of the six people inside, in addition to him and Chen Guanjie, there were four employees.
To be honest, everyone knows each other well, and it is even difficult for him to open this mouth.
Dong Zhengxiang looked at the group like this, his eyes slowly turned red, he sobbed, and his nose was a little sore.
Finally, I typed a line of words in the group: "I'm sorry everyone, our company may be going out of business, so ...... Everybody ......"
His tears seemed to be unstoppable, and he couldn't help but look up.
Trying not to let the tears fall.
But it didn't work at all, and a line of tears flowed out.
At that moment, he seemed to be out of breath, and this phone call became the last straw that crushed him.
