"Dad, I'm back. Now, this is American ginseng from Wisconsin. ”

Gu Biao walked through his garden, walked into the hall, and took the initiative to greet the elders in the family.

After he resigned in July, he didn't have a chance to go home, so he went straight to the United States, so this is the first time he has been reunited with his family since leaving office.

So just after he came back, he didn't want to devote himself to business immediately, and he always had to make a fool of himself with his family.

Father Gu Yong was full of refreshment, obviously very satisfied with his son's competitiveness, and patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement.

If Gu Biao comes back immediately in July, Dad may still have a little pimple in his heart, after all, the older generation still has a heart for dedication and official rank in their bones. However, after two or three months of delay, the above characterization of Gu Biao has been greatly reversed, and Dad feels that his face is bright.

Because, in the past two or three months, the relevant departments in the capital have sent some working groups to the south and the small islands where Gu Biao once worked, and they have also discovered some situations to correct Gu Ao's temperament, and it is inconvenient to say more about the specifics.

Gu Biao is now in the domestic business community, and his reputation is very good.

"You kid, if you don't explain it clearly, you will hide abroad! I will worry that you will make a mistake! I will send it away with something? Is our family poor for money and gifts?" Daddy laughed and scolded the lesson, but there was no anger in the slightest.

Gu Biao secretly thought in his heart: You are a hard-mouthed girl, in fact, how many times has my brother told you, Americans don't eat American ginseng at all, 90% of the Wisconsin farmers are sold to Xiangjiang people and then sold to Southeast Asian Chinese, and 10% are also sold to Chinese Americans in North America in the United States. Isn't it true that you love to eat American ginseng, and you still have to give it to relatives and friends every time......?

Gu Biao knows too much about his father's mentality, with the current wealth of the Gu family, where do he need to buy gifts in person when he goes abroad? But his father is still the director of a state-owned enterprise, and he has a narrow vision, and he often deals with people in the city's circle.

Every time Gu Biao came back with some American ginseng, the picture was not to eat, but to tell other state-owned enterprise leaders and government officials in the circle: My son went to the United States for business for a while. If you always give better things that are rare to Americans, Daddy is afraid to show them to the blind, and people don't know them at all.

Older people have this little hobby, and Gu Biao will not expose him.

Gu Biao just took the opportunity to divert the topic and asked about the situation of other relatives in the family: "What about my uncle and eldest brother and sister? ”

As he spoke, he sat down on the sofa with a grin, and he didn't pay attention to the number of respects and humility at home.

Dad sat in the horizontal position and lit a cigarette: "Your uncle's stinky temper, you don't know that during the New Year, we left him at home, but as soon as the first month ended, he had to move out and rent a house by himself." Your eldest brother and second brother also went out to live with him.

Your lobby brother is currently in the factory's 'whole private collective' that refrigerator factory for more than half a year, I think he is not bad, he has been turned into a regular workshop director, and is currently in charge of the air-conditioning production workshop - the workshop is small in scale, and there are few people staring, I arrange him like this, and no one is unconvinced.

As for the workshop that directly makes refrigerators or refrigerators, the production scale is large, there is a lot of oil and water, and there are many people. Our family is not short of money, there is no need to engage in those crooked ways, and we must be upright. ”

Gu Biao listened, nodded slightly, and agreed with his father's approach.

The Gu family is so rich, there is no need to leave any original sin stain on the funds.

It is now the last quarter of 84 years, and it has been more than half a year since the country fully liberalized township enterprises and declared that "the policy of developing XXXX is correct". The private economic climate in the coastal provinces of China is indeed very different, and there is another wave of rich people.

In the field of domestic civil household appliances, the production capacity of refrigerators has developed to a peak, and a considerable number of wealthy families in big cities have begun to buy refrigerators, but air conditioning is still a very high-end luxury, and this year can be said to be the first year of the development of the domestic air conditioning industry.

Dad is the director of the Qiantang Oxygen Concentrator Factory, from two years ago, after the state cracked down on economic crimes, in order to solve the employment and was apportioned by the city to engage in another "private collective" under the state-owned enterprises, Daddy's thinking is quite clear, has been only engaged in refrigeration-related industries - after all, air separation equipment such as oxygen generators was originally the most professional in refrigeration technology, so that the professional is quite the right across the circle.

After two years of running the whole house in the factory, the scale of the refrigerator workshop and the refrigerator workshop is already very large, and the interests are relatively complicated.

In contrast, the air-conditioning workshop has only been established for less than a year, and the business is not large, and the amount of money is also small. My father was the director of the main factory, and my uncle was also meritorious in the factory and had many apprentices. After the lobby brother got started with the business, he arranged for him to be the director of the air-conditioning workshop, so there was no resistance, and there was no need to use means.

Gu Biao knows that in the next few years, if he can't jump out of the home appliance industry, the future of making air conditioners will be greater than building refrigerators. This year is already the year when Haier Zhang Ruimin smashed the refrigerator, it can be seen that the domestic refrigerator production capacity is no longer the era of "someone wants it if you build it", after there are more refrigerators, consumers also have to pick and choose.

Gu Biao doesn't want to interfere with anything, so let the lobby brother have a good fortune.

Then he asked the second cousin and his little sister about the current situation, and learned that the second cousin also did a good job in Xizi Otis, and he is now the head of the business section.

As for the little sister who is still living at home - because the factory and the uncle's rented house are located in a relatively partial location, there is no good school nearby, and the little sister is in her third year of high school this year and has to take the college entrance examination.

It can be seen that no matter how backbone parents are, they have to give in to money when it comes to their children's education environment.

But my little sister hasn't gotten out of school today, so she hasn't come back.

In the chat with Gu Biao, Dad also revealed some additional tidbits of news:

"Your uncle's family, now the rented house is in the north of the city, which is already a suburb, a little north than our factory. He rented the house at the beginning of the year, and your eldest brother and second brother hadn't made any money at that time, and your uncle refused to accept my funding, saying that I was a Z-faction, so I could only rent such a cheap bungalow.

Besides, most of the houses in the city are public housing nowadays, and it is not easy to rent if you want to sublease without a policy. The ridiculous result is that the people who collected his family's rent were still a few Diao people who were fired out of our factory 15 years ago, and were selected by the factory to go to the third-line construction, and then dragged it out and didn't want to go, deliberately made mistakes and were fired and became farmers.

Now it's feng shui in turn, it's their turn to sneer at your uncle, and say that he lacks roots in his brain, and the call of the state is stupid, and now he doesn't even have a household registration in his hometown, and he has to send people to rent a peasant house in the northern suburbs under the fence, and he is obediently collected by them. ”

Gu Biao was slightly stunned, and he hadn't reacted to what was going on.

After all, he has spent a lot of time in the United States over the years, and he is still a little out of touch with the domestic society, and he doesn't understand the customs at the bottom.

He asked in detail for a while before he figured it out.

As we all know, the third-line construction was carried out in full swing after the deterioration of the Soviet Union in 69 years, and the uncle Gu Zheng and his family belonged to the relatively high consciousness of contributing to the country back then, so you gave up the household registration in a rich place like Qiantang and went to the mountains of Shu Province to engage in construction and reimbursement of the country, and they did not hesitate to go.

However, there are still many people who are more active in their minds.

Although it was more popular in the early 70s to keep a "citizen" hukou and work as a worker, regional attachment was also more important.

A considerable number of people would rather stay in Qiantang to be peasants than be transferred by the state to work as workers in the poor ravines of the interior.

As a result, there were naturally some people who were selected to go to the mainland in Qiantang Oxygen Concentrator Factory at that time, and in order not to go, they deliberately made mistakes, were fired from the factory, and accepted punishment.

At that time, they rushed to the countryside to solve the problem of urban labor surplus, and these errant people were inserted into suburban farms on the spot, lost their household registration, and became farmers.

However, in 15 years, Hedong and 15 years in Hexi have now been opened, and farmers are also allowed to engage in township enterprises. Those who had poor consciousness trembled because they kept their local household registration in Qiantang back then, and although they were farmers, they were farmers in the suburbs.

Those who obeyed the call of the state to go to the third-line ravines and returned to their hometowns to retire for the rest of their lives, but they did not have a hometown hukou, their hukou was still in the mountains, they were "residents" in the mountains, and the retired workers were also paid by the factories in the provinces in the mountains.

A sigh.

When Gu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but be angry.

He still respects the peasant brothers very much, and this must be clarified.

But those nail-digging households in the urban villages have simply tarnished the great and diligent peasant brothers.

To put it in good conscience, in later generations, there were many peasant brothers who did not know the truth, and they often took pride in saying that "we peasants also have good mixed things like urban villages." However, after they really came into contact with those people, they would only say: If you don't have land in a first- or second-tier big city, you are worthy of being called a peasant? You are only worthy of being called a migrant worker! Only those who have land in a big city like ours are qualified to be called peasants!

These nailed peasants are completely ashamed of other real peasants who also call themselves peasants, and disdain to associate themselves with those peasants who have become rich by hard work, and feel that they are noble charter tenants.

"Are those guys of yours not reading the newspaper and not reading the news? On this one-third of an acre of land, you still dare to offend our people and sneer?"

Dad sighed: "There are people who don't care about current affairs-your uncle has to live a hard life, and he is afraid that most of his life will insist on the old season, what can I do? Maybe those people just saw his hard work, even if they heard that our Gu family is now good, it will be regarded as a rumor." Everyone thinks seeing is believing. ”

Gu Biao is right to think about it, in 84 years, the popularity of domestic TV sets is more than 10 million, and there are those vulgar people who don't read the news or the newspaper. And people do believe more in what they see in their own lives, the uncle has to live a poor and self-disciplined life, and does not take the money of the third brother and nephew, in the eyes of those who maliciously speculate, they feel that the news of the Gu family's awesome is all braggart.

What's more, the uncle's family has only been renting a house for half a year, and with the speed of information circulation in this era, many outsiders really can't understand the truth.

"I've decided—I'll tell Lao Qiu in two days that I'm going to invest in building a CD factory in the local area! Dad, where is the house that your uncle is renting now?

I will let the city expropriate the land there! The condition is that all the peasants over there will be turned into workers, and if one of them wants to enter the factory to recruit workers, he will give up the right to contract land, the homestead land, and live in the future workers' dormitories in the factory, and lose his status as a peasant!"

Gu Biao knows that sooner or later, the record industry will be killed by the Internet, and it will only live for 15 years at most to open a CD factory in China, and it will be useless after squeezing out the profit value of an era.

15 years later, Gu Biao closed the factory, looking at these guys who lost their jobs and lost their peasant hukou, and how they felt when they saw the tide of the word "demolition" next to them.
