Chapter 59: Parents are going to the sea

Li Dusheng looked like he wanted to say something, looked at the dissatisfaction on his brother and sister-in-law's face, and said apologetically: "She really wants to help with this, but she really can't help!"

Li Hao said: "How is this possible? Account review is my mother's forte!"

Li Weisheng smiled bitterly: "Xiaohao, you don't know anything. Recently, the efficiency of steel plants has been declining, and it is almost unsustainable. At this time, if your mother is found to be working outside, although she is helping her brother and sister-in-law and does not charge money, she is being used by someone with a heart, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to keep her job. ”

When Wang Lan heard this, he hurriedly said: "So that's the case, but we blame our younger brothers and sisters! If she can't keep the iron rice bowl, we will be too guilty." We haven't mentioned this matter, second brother, don't worry, we won't be surprised. ”

At this time, Fang Jiaoyun came out of the kitchen with an apologetic face: "Big brother, sister-in-law, I'm really sorry for you!"

In fact, she has been hiding in the kitchen and is afraid to come out.

At this time, when I heard my sister-in-law's words of understanding, I mustered up the courage to come out and apologize.

Wang Lan said: "You have your position on this matter, we can understand." ”

The family was helpless, but Li Hao suddenly said, "Mom, are you going to lay off employees in your factory?"

Fang Jiaoyun said: "That's right! In the past two years, the efficiency of the steel plant has continued to decline, and it has long been unable to make ends meet. The steel plant is a state-owned enterprise, and it may not be enough to close down if it happens, but layoffs and cost reduction are already a certainty. I heard that the factory is considering the first batch of layoffs recently, your father is a backbone technician but he is not worried about layoffs, we have five accountants in the finance department, I heard that the first batch of layoffs will be two, I can't let people grasp any tricks at this juncture. ”

Li Tiansheng said: "Brother and sister, we didn't expect this to be the case, we knew that this was the case, we wouldn't come, if you lose your job, how can we go carelessly?"

Li Hao said: "Don't do this job!"

"Huh?"

"Xiaohao, what did you say?"

"This kid is really loud when he speaks! The job of the iron rice bowl is something that no one else can ask for!"

The four adults all looked at Li Hao, who spoke amazingly, in surprise.

Li Hao had long wanted his parents to resign and change to an easy-to-earn job, but he hadn't thought of any suitable job for a while, so he never mentioned it. Now that you have caught up, it is better to simply let your parents resign.

If your parents are willing to continue working, help them find an easy small business to start and if they don't want to work, let them retire early. He believed in his ability to make it okay for the two of them to live out their old age in peace.

However, in order for his parents to be convinced and accepted by him, he still has to spend some brain cells.

Li Hao thought for a while and asked, "Dad, Mom, I'm not talking nonsense about this. Actually, I've been thinking about it for a while, but I don't know how to mention it to you, so take this opportunity today to talk about it, and just resign and go to sea together. ”

Fang Jiaoyun was shocked: "What are you talking about? You still want your father to resign? He is an electrical engineer in a steel plant and a backbone technician, even if the efficiency of the factory is getting worse and worse, it will not be his turn to lay off employees on a large scale." ”

Li Hao asked lightly: "Do you know why the efficiency of the steel plant is getting worse and worse?"

Fang Jiaoyun was stunned for a moment and said: "The price of steel in the market is low, and the profit of the steel sold is no longer enough to maintain the cost operation of the factory. That's why the above wants to lay off employees, cut operating costs, and increase profits. ”

Li Weisheng sighed and said: "The key point is that the technical foundation is too weak, and the steel produced is the lowest end of the product, and the production efficiency is low, so naturally it can't compete with others." Too many low-end steel mills have closed down in recent years. ”

Fang Jiaoyun is an accountant, so she naturally considers the problem from the perspective of balance of payments.

Li Weisheng is a technician, so it is natural to think about problems from a technical level.

Li Hao nodded and said, "Dad, Mom, what you said is right. But the essence of the problem is that the rules have changed. In the past, it was the world of state-owned enterprises, and monopoly was a new trick. However, with the reform and opening up, economic rules have undergone qualitative subversion and change. Now it is the market that decides to survive. Whoever can adapt to this market will survive. Steel mills, and even all other state-owned enterprises, must fall in front of the rules of the market, without exception!"

Li Weisheng looked at his son in surprise: "Xiaohao, do you mean that all state-owned enterprises are going to go bankrupt?"

Li Hao shook his head lightly: "It's a bit too one-sided to say this." There are some key areas where the government will not let go of the market and compete freely. However, in all open fields, there are only two ways for state-owned enterprises to go, one is to transform, and the other is to go out of business. In other words, if the transformation is carried out, the factory may survive, but is it not equivalent to the collapse of the state-owned enterprise system? In the past few years, the increasing number of people who have resigned from state-owned enterprises and gone to sea is not the best proof of this?

The uncle and his wife couldn't understand this level of analysis, and Fang Jiaoyun also listened to it in a fog.

But Li Dusheng was shocked when he heard it, these words said by his son were what he had thought in his heart over the years, but he couldn't express them in clear words like his son.

"Xiaohao, you're so right. At present, many state-owned enterprises have reached the point of terminal illness, and without the determination to break the kettle, reform will not be able to recover. But what does this have to do with your mother's resignation?"

"Dad, think about it. You all think that this job is an iron rice bowl and is precious. But in the future, if the iron and steel mills close down, the iron rice bowl will be gone, right? Even if it does not go bankrupt and the reform of private capital is introduced, the iron and steel plant will no longer be a state-owned enterprise, and this iron rice bowl will become an ordinary job.

"Hearing Xiaohao say this, I really don't want to do it. The dead salary of six or seven hundred yuan a month is not as much as the big sister Wang next door earns as a waitress in the restaurant. If you have to lose your job sooner or later, it is better to quit your job and go to sea as soon as possible. Fang Jiaoyun held her breath in her heart for a long time, and finally spit it out.

Li Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Mom, you just take the opportunity to resign and help your uncle review and review the accounts." When you're done helping your uncle, you and my dad will rest for a while and go on a trip. ”

Fang Jiaoyun said: "That's not good. Unless I've found a better job, I can't quit easily. Especially your dad, he can't quit!"

Li Hao smiled bitterly: "I dare to love in vain?"

Fang Jiaoyun said: "It's not in vain! I decided to go against the wind to help your uncle and aunt review the accounts, anyway, sooner or later I will lose my job, so I don't care about sooner or later." If I don't help your uncle, their little supermarket will soon go out of business. ”

When the uncle and aunt heard this, they were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them.

Fang Jiaoyun has the absolute right to speak in the Li family, and her decision is the final decision of this family.

Li Hao only smiled bitterly and was silent.

But it also sowed a seed in the hearts of parents to resign and go to the sea, so let this kind of seed sprout slowly.

Aunt Wang Lan said excitedly: "Xiaohao, you are really the savior of our family." Thank you so much this time, if you hadn't persuaded your mother, I would have been desperate with your uncle. ”

Li Hao said: "Aunt, we are all a family, and we should help each other." ”

He clearly remembered that in his previous life, his family was in trouble, and although his uncle and aunt were unable to provide any help, they were very few relatives who did not sneer at him. In this life, they are in trouble, and Li Hao naturally can't stand idly by.

The aunt said ashamedly: "Thank you for your kindness to your family. We were really desperate, otherwise we wouldn't have made it difficult for our younger siblings to take the risk of helping us review our accounts. It's just that your uncle and I don't have any knowledge, and we've been working in a commissary for more than ten years, but we can't even figure out the accounts. This time, with my brother and sister, a professional accountant, I believe that the commissary will definitely come back to life. ”

Li Hao suddenly had a thought in his heart, and said loudly: "Auntie, in fact, you can consider expanding the scale!"
