Chapter 890 Installing Phone 3

1.

Speaking of Lian Xi in the Telephone Work Bureau of Hushan Town, he can be regarded as a well-known figure on the streets of Hushan Town or the entire Hushan Town.

The reason why Lian Xi is so famous in Hushan Town has its own reasons for being famous.

First of all, Lian Xi is a "veteran" figure of the Hushan Town Telephone Bureau. The Hushan Town Telephone Bureau was established in 1950, and Lian Xi, who had just graduated from junior high school, entered the Hushan Town Telephone Bureau at the beginning of the establishment of the telephone bureau and became a professional telephone transferor. The work of a telephone transfer clerk seems simple, but in fact it is very tedious and tiring, the telephone exchange room needs to be manned 24 hours a day, and the transfer staff must keep an eye on the computer room all the time to prevent missing the transfer of important calls. At that time, all incoming and outgoing telephones in and out of the jurisdiction of Hushan Town had to pass through the computer room and operators of the Hushan Town Telephone Bureau, so the importance of Lianxi's work can be imagined.

Lian Xi has been working for more than 40 years since he joined the work in 1950, and has sent away four directors before and after, and Liu Zhi is the fifth director of Lian Xi. Lian Xi himself has slowly become the veteran of the telephone bureau in Hushan Town from the original hairy boy. On the streets of Toyama Town, no one may know who the director of the telephone bureau is, but when it comes to Lian Xi, the telephone transfer officer of the telephone bureau, everyone knows it. This is the first reason why Lian Xi is famous.

Secondly, it is determined by the particularity of Lianxi's work. Just think about it, Lian Xi has been squatting in the computer room of the telephone bureau in Hushan Town for more than 40 years, how many villagers in Hushan Town have received Lian Xi's services? If you want to count it, I am afraid it is an astronomical number. The person in charge of many departments and villages in Hushan Town can tell whether this person is Lian Xi just by his voice on the phone. Do you think Lian Xi has a lot of influence in Hushan Town?

Because Lian Xi is responsible for the telephone transfer and telephone maintenance business of the Hushan Town Telephone Bureau, when he is not on duty in the computer room of the telephone office, Lian Xi often has to go to the street to repair the telephone or repair the line for customers. As a result, the villagers of Hushan often see Lian Xi on the rugged and winding mountain road, wearing a postman's uniform, riding a dilapidated green mail car, with a pair of iron shoes for climbing poles tied to the back seat of the car, and a bulging bag full of maintenance equipment hanging on the beam of the mail car, and each time he hurried by on the mail truck. As a result, Lian Xi has become a well-known figure in Hushan Town.

Finally, it is also the most critical point that Lian Xi is famous in Hushan Town, that is, Lian Xi is an out-and-out drunkard. Those who are familiar with Lianxi know that Lianxi is now drunk every time he drinks, and he must get drunk when he drinks.

In fact, as early as 1992, Lian Xiben did not have this problem of drinking too much.

Before 1992, the Hushan Town Telephone Bureau still used the kind of magnet telephone exchange, as a telephone operator, Lian Xi had to squat in the computer room almost every day to be responsible for the telephone transfer business, almost no time to go out, where is the opportunity to drink a lot?

However, this situation has changed qualitatively since 1992. In 1992, the Hushan Town Telephone Bureau replaced the vertical and horizontal telephone exchange and replaced the old magnet telephone exchange. As long as the vertical and horizontal telephone exchange is operating normally, there is no need for personnel to be on duty in the computer room, and from then on, Lian Xi also ended his days of squatting in the computer room of the telephone bureau like a prison.

At this time, Lian Xi was 57 years old and was close to retirement age. However, in the case of the shortage of personnel at the post office and telephone office in Hushan Town, Lian Xi was still dispatched by the director Liu Zhi to the county bureau to learn the telephone installation business. Fortunately, Lian Xi's physical fitness is not bad, and he is not afraid of the work of climbing high and low, but he can easily be qualified for the work of installing telephones from house to house.

Since 1992, when the Hushan Town Telephone Bureau replaced the vertical and horizontal telephone exchange, the communication business of the Hushan Town Telephone Office has been booming. Although the initial installation fee for a program-controlled telephone at that time was 3,000 yuan, there was still an endless stream of people who came to the Hushan Town Telephone Bureau to pay the fee and wait for the installation of the telephone. Most of these people waiting to install program-controlled telephones are the streets of Hushan Town, such as the town government, credit cooperatives, supply and marketing cooperatives, hospitals, schools and other departments, or merchants doing business and opening factories, as well as the branches or village committees of more than 40 natural villages under the jurisdiction of Hushan Town, these departments or individuals are customers who are in urgent need of program-controlled telephones.

It is precisely because of such a large seller's market that Lian Xi, who is responsible for installing program-controlled telephones at the telephone bureau in Hushan Town, has become a hot figure for a while. In order to get a program-controlled phone for their own family as soon as possible, many departments and individuals have to find Lian Xi to go through the back door, or invite Lian Xi to drink a meal, or give Lian Xi a little cigarette and alcohol and other gifts, and everyone respects Lian Xi.

At that time, Lian Xi was bigger than Liu Zhi, the director. Lian Xi sometimes ignores the customers who come to the door, and sometimes picks and chooses customers, of course, Lian Xi's selection is also principled, and the first person to let Lian Xi take care of is either a high authority or a wealthy person.

Lian Xi also set a working standard for himself privately, that is, only one program-controlled phone should be installed every day, and the installation time of the phone should be arranged in the morning. The work of pulling the cord and installing the telephone is usually finished before 11 a.m., and the rest of the time is naturally to go to the tavern or the customer's house for a drink. Under normal circumstances, Lian Xi, who is drunk before getting off work in the afternoon, will return to the telephone office and then open the newly installed program-controlled telephone for the customer. Of course, sometimes customers are uncomfortable with Lian Xi, and Lian Xi will not immediately open the phone when he returns to the telephone office after drinking, but will toss enough customers to open it sooner or later.

In the face of Lian Xi's somewhat almost presumptuous behavior, Liu Zhi, as the director of the bureau, was helpless. The staff of the telephone office and the post office in Hushan Town are already pitiful, and sometimes they can't get a little too busy to get there. In particular, the person responsible for the installation of the program-controlled telephone business, although the technical content is not high, but the entire Hushan Town Telephone Bureau is the only one who has received professional training, and it is really impossible to play with others. This is also one of the reasons why Liu Zhi indulged Lian Xi.

In 1995, Lian Xi had reached retirement age. However, the Hushan Town Telephone Bureau has replaced a new program-controlled telephone exchange, and the business volume of applications for the installation of program-controlled telephones has skyrocketed. In addition, the technical personnel outside were unwilling to go to the entire poor ravine of Hushan Town to suffer, so the director Liu Zhizhi rehired Lian Xi, who had gone through the retirement procedures, back to the Hushan Town Telephone Bureau, and arranged for Lian Xi to follow Lian Xi to learn the work of installing program-controlled telephones.

Lian Xi, who was rehired and returned to the telephone bureau in Hushan Town, doubled his worth, received double wages, and his strength was done by the apprentice, and Lian Xi only had to drink a lot of wine, receive big gifts and go back to the bureau to debug the phone, which can be regarded as living a life of heaven on earth.
