The next day, Shao Zhigang told Zhang Ke that Sheng Qing agreed to his conditions and wanted to change Yuanxiang's entire yard into a large discotheque. He will leave the bar to his subordinates, which can be regarded as an explanation, a million deposit can be paid in advance, but he hopes to slow down the rent, after all, the original simple casino has been transformed into a large discotheque, and the investment in interior decoration is not a small amount, and the funds in his hands are a little tight.

Zhang Ke is not afraid that anyone in Haizhou can rely on his account, even if he dares to borrow money from the Chengnan District Government, there is no problem with changing the rent there to be paid monthly.

Sheng Qing can also be regarded as a person with responsibility, help him at a critical moment, he will remember.

Zhang Ke asked Shao Zhigang to watch it.

Xie Wanqing took over the matter of Kumho, just in time for the start of the winter vacation, and when Ding Huai arrived in Haizhou again, Zhang Ke, Liu Minghui, and Ding Huai went to Hong Kong before the Spring Festival to confirm that the manufacturer Jiang Wei had contacted before did have mature production technology for DVD players. I rushed back to Haizhou only two days before the Spring Festival.

Ding Huai went directly back to his hometown in Anhui to spend the Spring Festival, and after the Spring Festival, he came to Haizhou with a group of technicians from the original Wanyan Company.

The sales proceeds of the paper mill had reached 8 million before the Spring Festival, but with the advance payment of 3 million from Haitai Trade and the 5 million funds borrowed by the Chengnan District Government, it was no longer a problem to make up 18 million before the letter of credit expired. What's more, Kumho is no longer a shell company, not counting two or three million funds on the account, the equity of Haitai Trade and the property in Jinhua Building, the provincial capital, can get a bank mortgage.

Zhang Ke rushed back to the company, the employees in the office were cleaning and preparing for the annual vacation, and the paper mill would have normal shifts during the Spring Festival.

"The workers of the factory have been working very hard during this time," Zhou Fu still had something to say to Zhang Ke, "Isn't the paper mill an extra meaning to boost morale?" ”

"Didn't you mention this to Mr. Xie?" Zhang Ke asked Zhou Fu strangely, "What day is it now, the day after tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month, did you remember to mention this?" ”

"Mr. Xie agreed to raise the wages of workers after the Spring Festival, so I am embarrassed to mention this matter again, waiting for you to come back and discuss with you, if you think it's okay, then I'll go and talk to Mr. Xie."

Although Kumho was handed over to Xie Wanqing to manage, Zhou Fu was still used to finding Zhang Kehui to make a decision first.

Zhang Ke smiled and said, "Director Zhou, why has he learned to say good things now, and he wants to lie to me when he takes a grain of candy?" Yes, you go and discuss it with Sister Jiang, if you are financially allowed, you can put forward a plan, and the capitalists should also pay attention to giving the workers candy to eat, I will go in and tell Mr. Xie about it. ”

The office in the southwest corner still belongs to Zhang Ke, and it doesn't matter how much time Zhang Ke will have to come to the company in the future. Xie Wanqing and Xu Si share an office, which is also in line with Xu Si's identity as Xie Wanqing's assistant, Zhang Ke hopes that Xu Si will share an office with him, and he will regret using translucent frosted glass partitions at that time.

Through the frosted glass, you can see Zhitong's petite figure beating in the office, Zhang Ke pushed open the door, put the handbag containing the gift by the door, quietly walked behind Zhitong, and hugged her violently, Zhitong giggled and struggled in his arms.

Zhang Ke asked Wanqing with a smile: "Sister Wanqing, when will you go back to the provincial capital?" ”

"First accompany you to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and then get up early tomorrow and return to the provincial capital."

Xu Si said beside him: "It's not because I have to wait for you, you don't want to go back to Haizhou for the Spring Festival, right?" ”

"It took a lot of thought to pick a gift for you, otherwise I would have come back a long time ago." Zhang Ke pouted at the handbag by the door, and sat on the sofa with Zhitong in his arms, Zhitong is no different from a normal child now, except for refusing to speak. Zhang Ke told Wanyan what Zhou Fu said outside: "We want to set up a good example of Xinguang Factory, and besides, the workers of Xinguang Factory were miserable in the first half of the year, and if they are financially allowed, they can add some benefits, and I will let Zhou Fu and Jiang Wei take out the plan immediately." ”

"You think it's okay, I thought I would have annual leave from today, but I don't want to use my brain anymore." Xie Wanqing said lazily.

Zhitong watched Xu Si open the handbag and struggle down from Zhang Ke's knee to look at the gift.

Zhou Fu sympathized with the situation of the workers, and had already prepared a plan in his hand, just one page, Zhang Ke walked into Xie Wanqing's office within twenty minutes, he turned around and took the page and came in with Jiang Wei.

Xie Wanqing took the page and glanced at it, and handed it to Zhang Ke: "It's good if you think it's good." ”

Zhang Ke took it and looked at it, smacked his lips, and said: "The paper mill can't be officially profitable now, so there is no year-end bonus, just change the name to the consolation money," he flicked the page with his finger and made a crisp sound, "This plan is too stingy, raise the standard, the cadre's consolation fund is set at 1,000, the regular employee is set at 800, and the temporary worker is set at 600, Director Zhou will immediately change the plan, Sister Jiang quickly contact the bank, can you take out the money at this time, Sister Wanqing and District Mayor Song talked on the phone, Can the district send someone to the factory to pay condolences to the workers at this time? ”

Zhou Fu glanced at Xie Wanqing hesitantly, Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "Could it be that Director Zhou is afraid that the district will not agree?" ”

"Song Peiming dares not to agree!" Zhou Fu said excitedly, snatched the page from Zhang Ke's hand, flew out of the office, and caught up with an employee carrying a bucket of scrubbing glass passing by the door, the two bumped together, Zhou Fu splashed water in a cheap suit, Zhou Fu hurriedly said it didn't matter, and walked into his office to change the plan.

Jiang Wei contacted the bank and called two employees to accompany her to the bank to withdraw money.

Zhang Ke looked at the sewage that had been splashed on Zhou Fu and poured into it, squeezed his brows and said: "Lao Zhou is such an adult, and he is more careless than me, which is really unreassuring!" ”

Xu Si smiled and said, "Zhou Chang didn't expect you to be so generous, hurry up and go out, so as not to give you time to regret it." ”

"It's fair to earn one million, it's okay to earn one million or one million, if you only earn nine hundred thousand, you will win more opportunities to make money," Zhang Ke shook his head and smiled, picked out a gift box from his handbag, opened it was a black crystal necklace, and said: "This necklace is going to be given to Sister Xu Wei, eight hundred Hong Kong dollars, I don't know if I can make Sister Xu Wei smile?" Eight hundred yuan is a very inconspicuous amount for us, but it is different for ordinary workers, who can at least have a good year. We are just giving up small profits, but we can count on them to work hard in the coming year. ”

Xu Si joked: "If you don't say your last word, no one will be kind to you." ”

Xie Wanqing came over and said, "I'm really looking forward to what gifts I can have with Zhitong?" ”

"I carefully and carefully selected, and I think this agate stone bracelet is suitable for Sister Wanqing."

Zhang Ke stretched out his hand to pick out the gift box, but Xu Si ruthlessly exposed: "Did you find a jewelry store in a hurry to buy this pile of things in the last half of the day, and you are embarrassed to say that you are carefully selected?" ”

Zhang Ke smiled and said, "It took a lot of thought, you won't refuse it, right?" ”

"It's not okay to refuse, isn't that a problem with yourself?" Xu Si said with a smile, poured the gift on Xie Wanqing's desk, and pulled Wanqing and Zhitong to open it together, and sure enough, they were all brooches, hairpins, handbands and other trinkets purchased from the same store. Fortunately, Zhang Ke was thick-skinned, and in the face of Xu Si and Wanqing's ridicule, he still sat there without changing his face, and slipped away without shame in others.

Xie Wanqing hung up the phone to Song Peiming and asked him if he had time to go to the paper mill to give condolences to the employees, how could Song Peiming not have time for such a face-showing? About half an hour to rush to the company to meet.

This is the first time Zhang Ke went to the new factory after it was officially put into production, he resumed his duties as a young man, bowed his head and followed Xie Wanqing, Song Peiming and others to visit the new factory.

In order to enable the workers to have a good year, the wages for January were paid in advance, and the interest on the deposit was also settled at the bank loan interest rate, and with the consolation money this time, most of the regular workers could receive 2,000 yuan for the New Year, and they would be able to have a fat year at the end of '94. Zhang Ke asked Zhou Fu to arrange for Xu Si's mother to work as a temporary worker in the warehouse of the new factory, and her income was worse than that of regular workers, but it was also a pretty good job in Haizhou, and there was a consolation payment of 600 yuan at the end of the year, which was probably something she didn't dare to think, but this only slightly reduced the pressure on her heart.

In the 90s, ordinary families were burdened with more than 200,000 foreign debts, and the pressure was unimaginable to people more than ten years later.

Xu Si only dared to tell his family that his monthly salary was only 2,000 yuan, and he would take 1,500 yuan a month to pay off his family's debts.

The verdict of Ding Xiangshan's case has been pronounced in the first instance, and no news has been released from Haizhou, as if it is a very inconsequential matter, and it has disappeared forever from the field of vision of ordinary citizens.

When he walked to the warehouse, he met Xu Si's mother, Zhang Ke did not accompany Song Peiming and they continued to walk forward, standing in the warehouse and chatting with Xu Si's mother, talking about Chen Feirong's mother Liu Fen. In the few days that Zhang Ke went to Hong Kong, Liu Fen had fully recovered and was able to walk on the ground, and was discharged from the hospital in time for the year.

When you are hospitalized, your relatives will go to the hospital to visit, and when you are discharged, even if you are poor, you have to hold a banquet to thank you, and Chen Qi's family will open a tavern, and it will not be too expensive, and it will be set on the third day of the new year. Speaking of which, Zhang Ke is the most important thing for their family to thank, they can't afford to invite Zhang Ke's parents, and they can't afford to invite Song Peiming, and they don't know what Zhang Ke's parents do, so they ask Xu Si to invite Zhang Ke to come over for dinner when the time comes.

Xu Si didn't have time to talk about it, and Zhang Ke didn't know if he was free in the third year of junior high school, so he only perfunctory Xu Si's mother said that it would be up to him when the time came. watched Xu Si come in from the outside and asked her, "It's all done!" ”

"Song Peiming and Mr. Xie were talking to the cadres in the factory in the office, and when they turned around, they didn't see you, I came to look for you." Xu Si said to her mother, "I went with Zhang Ke first, and the colleagues in the company had to have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner early in the evening, and I won't go home for dinner." ”

Zhang Ke remembered one thing and said to Xu Si's mother: "Chen Feirong and her mother are also employees of the paper factory, don't talk about anything else for the time being, you can go to the finance office later to help her get the consolation money back, and I will help her when I meet Director Zhou." ”

"That's really good, otherwise I wouldn't know how to tell Concubine Rong and her mother about it."

Zhang Ke smiled, what was very simple to him had a different meaning for others. After the winter vacation, I haven't seen Chen Feirong again, even in school, it's rare to see it, Chen Feirong rarely goes out of the classroom, not that Chen Feirong is deliberately avoiding (there may also be this factor), key middle schools, teachers can't wait for students to devote every minute to learning, students usually have this consciousness, boys can also gather in the aisle to chat and fart, girls will only occasionally go out of the classroom. This phenomenon is even more serious in the third year of high school, and many girls do not look fat, but their waists and legs are full of meat. Zhang Ke often doesn't go to and from school according to the school time, even if he occasionally meets Chen Feirong, he is mostly with Tang Jing, so there is not much intersection with Chen Feirong. After the winter vacation, I haven't seen Chen Feirong at all.

Zhang Ke and Xu Si out of the warehouse, the administrative building of the new factory is next to the east gate, the north of the administrative building is the comprehensive building, there are staff canteens and training classrooms, into the administrative building, I heard applause from the second floor, followed the applause to the conference room, pushed open the door, saw Song Peiming full of ambition to surround people, is giving up, must have spoken.

Zhang Ke whispered to Xu Si: "It's really time to come, don't listen to his nonsense." Xu Si pursed his lips and smiled, ignoring him.

There was still something to do in Song Peiming's district, and the representative sent the consolation money to the staff of the administrative building, so he left in a hurry. Xie Wanqing, accompanied by Zhou Fu and Jiang Wei, distributed the consolation money to various departments. Zhang Ke and Xu Si led Zhitong to stay in Zhou Fu's factory director's room to speak.

Zhang Ke waited for a while, to send out the condolences of more than 200 people in the factory one by one, not a half will be able to complete, today just Haizhou, at night still continue to mess outside, I don't know how much to listen to my mother complain, and when Wanqing returned to the administrative building to rest, he said to her: "I will take Zhitong home today, let her sleep with me at night, you will pick her up tomorrow." ”
