Chapter 20: Selfish Desires

After the state implemented the contract responsibility system for joint production, the rural areas have undergone rapid changes in the times. It has greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of labor, and a year's work is less than a month's work.

Surplus labor has brought unrest to society, and cattle theft, sheep theft, and dog theft have occurred from time to time.

The southern tour brought vitality to the coastal areas. Many foreign companies have come to Guangzhou to build factories.

The locals, with the support of the government, also set up factories. For a time, there was a gap between the difficulty of finding people in the south and the lack of use for people in the north.

Zhao Hai of my village is a young man in the new era who has a unique vision, is good at grasping opportunities, and dares to think and do.

At the age of 30, he graduated from primary school, with a strong physique, quick thinking, and eloquent speech, and decided to take advantage of the spring breeze of reform and opening up to Guangzhou to show his talents.

In the spring of 82, with a beautiful view of the future, he took the train to the south and arrived in Guangzhou.

After more than ten days in Guangzhou, I got acquainted with the Hong Kong boss Feng, and during the conversation, one lacked production labor and the other could transport surplus labor, and the two hit it off and signed a contract.

Boss Feng gave him a deposit in advance and asked him to go back to the village to collect people. Zhao Hai returned to his hometown happily all the way with gratitude, and with his three-inch tongue, he sent 10 young people to Boss Feng for the first time, and the boss gave him the first pot of gold according to the commission of the signed contract.

The boss was very happy about the labor force, because the northerners were simple and capable. and let him go back to the village to bring people.

Several times in a row, Zhao Hai sent a hundred and ten people at the request of Boss Feng and received a rich return.

There are few people in the southern factory, and under the recommendation of Boss Feng, I got to know a few bosses. He became the god in the hearts of the bosses and responded to his needs.

In just a few years, Zhao Hai sent nearly 1,000 people to the boss in Guangzhou, and became a leading figure in Guangzhou.

As the saying goes: the Lord bullies the guest, and the guest oppresses the Lord. When the workers made trouble, they didn't listen to the boss's words, but only listened to Zhao Hai. Because he did tricks and conspiracies among the workers he sent. The boss has a lot of headaches for the management of the workers.

The boss also knew his thoughts, so he had to turn a blind eye, and the management of the workers was entrusted to him, from which he also received the salary of the manager.

In Guangzhou, there are many workers in the north, headaches and brain fever, bumps, and doctors, which are difficult and costly to see a doctor. He saw the opportunity and invited Dr. Wang from his village to Guangzhou, and asked the boss to find two rooms at the gate of the factory, which was not only convenient for the workers, but also made money.

The more people gathered, the more the power developed, and he became the emperor in the eyes of the boss, and the factory became an independent kingdom that could not be inserted into the needle and could not be drained.

Once the workers he led had a conflict with the locals, Zhao Hai gave an order and led his workers to beat the locals all over their bodies, their skin and flesh open, and they fled in embarrassment. Since then, I have never dared to mess with the people of Henan.

Due to the expansion of his power, he is also cold and disdainful of others. If it doesn't go your way, he will lead a big fight. until he kneels and begs for mercy will not stop.

The bosses saw it in their eyes, worried in their hearts, they were both afraid and respectful of him, a small banquet in three days, a big banquet in five days, and he drank it arrogantly, dazed, and forgetful.

With the increase of money, he got carried away, and his selfish desires soared even more, and he did whatever he wanted. I often spend time drinking, going in and out of fireworks and willow alleys, and I don't go home at night.

Due to his inappropriate life, Zhao Hai gradually contracted AIDS. The workers became close to him and then alienated, until they did not dare to associate with him. His body was emaciated, and a year later, he spent all his savings for treatment and died in solitude. His wife also married in Guangzhou with two children.
