Chapter 468: Swear by Wine
When Qin Hai and Chen Heqian visited Mr. Zhu Zichuan, Li Linguang was also communicating with the scientific researchers of the 33 institutes in his own way, and this way was naturally drinking.
Outside the door of 33 houses, there is a food court. Speaking of which, the emergence of this food street is also inseparable from 33, because the faΓ§ade on this street was built by 33 by tearing down the wall. Relying on the rent of these storefronts, 33 schools were able to provide some of the most modest benefits to their employees.
Li Linguang and three 33 employees were sitting in front of a stall in the food street at this time. The four of them gathered around a small square table with several dishes on the table, as well as two bottles of high liquor, one of which was almost at the bottom. This meal was invited by Li Linguang out of his own pocket, and the three politely said that they would pay for it, but they were stopped by Li Linguang, and everyone stopped fighting. For the staff of the 33rd Institute, it is a very luxurious thing to invite guests to drink, but here in Li Linguang, a small meal of wine is completely insignificant.
Qin Hai entrusted Li Linguang and Yue Kun to develop a thermal spraying machine, and said that he would give them a share. The actual final share was not large, but because of the dazzlingly high profits of the thermal spraying machine, Li Linguang and Yue Kun quickly became multimillionaires, and they could almost kill most of the private entrepreneurs in An Ho Province in an instant.
At the beginning, Li and Yue were embarrassed to take so much money, and even felt a little afraid to take it. In their minds, a bonus of a few thousand yuan is enough to make them overjoyed, and the commission of tens of millions is completely beyond the limit of their imagination. However, Qin Hai insisted on giving them the money, and after several prevarications, they had no choice but to accept this huge amount of money and entered the ranks of the rich in one fell swoop.
Neither of the two old gentlemen is a person who pursues luxury, after having money. They only improved their lives a little, but they took out a lot of money to support the students in need in the school. Many colleagues knew that they had earned some money from Qin Hai, but no one could have imagined the order of magnitude of this money.
When Li Linguang's family economy is not very well-off, he will occasionally come out to invite friends for a drink. Now the pockets are bulging, even more so. Today, he invited three middle-aged engineers from his research group. One of them had a conversation with Qin Hai on the first day of the meeting, and this person's name was Lu Gesheng, a metallurgical expert.
"Lao Li, you are a cheerful person, I like to make friends with people like you." Lu Gesheng had a few glasses of white wine, and he had a big tongue, and he stared at Li Linguang with red eyes, and said.
"Yes, Professor Lee. You're a big professor and you don't have a shelf at all, it's really rare. Two other engineers chimed in.
Li Linguang took the wine bottle and poured wine for everyone, then raised his wine glass with a smile and said, "The wine table is full of friends, and what do you say about the big professor and the little professor." If you can afford my Lao Li, everyone will have another drink. It's not easy to get together at a table to drink, let's go one. β
"Come on. Go for one! Several people answered in unison.
The hot and spicy alcohol flowed down the throat, and everyone's feelings were mobilized. An engineer named Wu Xu said, "Lao Li. You give us all the answer, what is this Team Leader Qin doing, and what he said, is it reliable? β
"Of course it is." Li Linguang replied affirmatively, "Xiao Qin has been my friend for many years. If you can trust me Lao Li, you should be able to trust Xiao Qin, what he promised has really not dropped the chain. β
"Isn't it bragging that he said he could get us 15 million in funding?" Lu Gesheng asked.
Li Linguang said: "The old way." You can rest assured, the 15 million budget is definitely not bragging. As for where the funds came from, I can't tell you, you just need to know that the funds will be in place. β
"Really?" Lu Gesheng looked at Li Linguang and asked.
"Really." Li Linguang replied.
"That'...... How much of this money can be used for employee welfare? Wu Xu asked timidly.
"How much do you all want to come up with?" Li Linguang asked calmly. Wu Xu's question did not exceed Li Linguang's expectations, he discussed with Qin Hai and others, and everyone thought that the welfare of 33 was too poor, so the most concerned about the employees was not the scientific research funds, but the part that could be used for welfare.
"This is the ...... I can't even say. Lu Gesheng said, "If Team Leader Qin can get funds, he must also use them for research." However, Professor Li, you have also seen the situation in the institute, if you can't improve everyone's welfare, you won't have the motivation to do your work. Several of you professors are capable people, but just a few of you are not enough. β
Li Linguang said: "Old road, old Wu, don't worry." Qin Hai is not a person who does not eat the fireworks of the world, he also cares about everyone's life. What needs to be clarified now is what are the problems of the 33 institutes, and the money can be used to provide benefits to everyone, but how to do it, there must be an explanation, right? β
"I only care about one thing, can I take out a little of this money and help the employees pay the sponsorship fee of Yanbei No. 2 Middle School first?" Lu Gesheng said.
"Sponsorship?" The second monk Li Lin Guangzhang couldn't scratch his head, no matter how rich his imagination was, he couldn't think of what was going on.
Lu Gesheng and Wu Xu glanced at each other, sighed, and then explained to Li Linguang one by one.
Yanbei No. 2 Middle School is a key middle school in Yanbei City, with good teaching quality and the closest distance to 33 schools. In the past, the children of the workers of the 33 institutes all went to school in Yanbei No. 2 Middle School. In the past two years, the school has changed its enrollment system, requiring all children of factories and mines to pay a sponsorship fee per capita before they can go to school. The standard of sponsorship fee is 5,000 yuan per student, which is far beyond the scope of parents' affordability and can only rely on the unit to pay.
For those wealthy enterprises, the cost of 5,000 yuan per student is nothing, and the unit can also be listed in name, and parents do not need to worry about it at all. However, for the 33 institutes, the funds allocated by the state are insufficient, and there is no money to pay for these expenses.
In this way, Yanbei No. 2 Middle School has cleared out all the children of the 33 schools, and if these children want to go to school, they can only go to Yanbei No. 7 Middle School, which is far away and has low teaching quality. This kind of thing involving the future of the children is the most hurtful to the enthusiasm of the employees, and the employees have collectively found the institute to make trouble several times, but the institute is also powerless, and this matter has been delayed for a long time.
Some parents gritted their teeth, borrowed money from relatives and friends, and paid sponsorship fees to their children, so that their children could stay in No. 2 Middle School. But for those parents who are more financially difficult and have no way to borrow, they can only let their children go to the seventh middle school to study, and the sad feeling is needless to say.
Lu Gesheng and Wu Xu happen to have children in middle school, and they both belong to the kind of families that can't pay the sponsorship fee. Thinking that they are from a dignified college student, but their children have to go to a middle school with an almost zero admission rate, how can they still have the heart to do scientific research.
"Lao Li, it's not that we don't want to contribute to the country. It doesn't matter if we dedicate our youth and our lives. But even the children and grandchildren have to be sacrificed, who can stand this kind of thing? With this time, we might as well make up for our children at home, we don't have any money, so we still have some knowledge, right? Lugerson said indignantly, tilting his neck and pouring himself another glass of wine.
"I see." Li Linguang's heart was touched. Lu Gesheng's reason is very simple, they don't want much, just to make their families happy and let their children have a little bit of fun. If researchers on the front line of the defense industry cannot even guarantee this, what reason does the state have to ask them to devote themselves wholeheartedly?
"Lao Lu, Lao Wu, I didn't know these things, and Qin Hai didn't know either, there were some things...... I have misunderstood you, and I apologize to you on behalf of Qin Hai. Li Linguang said sincerely.
"If you apologize, Lao Li, don't say it. In the past few days, we have also seen that Team Leader Qin is not a person who can only sing high-pitched, and you, Professor Chen, and Professor Yue are really knowledgeable and willing to do practical things. Lugerson said with a red face.
Wu Xu also said: "Yes, in fact, we also know that the country is in difficulty, and there are many units that are more difficult than our lives, to be honest, we should not be so slack." β
Indignation is indignation, and for them as scientific researchers, there is still at least a sense of shame. They also feel ashamed to work hard with the state's salary, and this kind of thing is really not on the table.
Li Linguang said: "You have affection, this is completely reasonable. I'm not a leader, and I can't say anything to you. I will tell Qin Hai about this matter tonight, and I promise you that Qin Hai will definitely help you solve this matter in the shortest possible time. Whether it's a sponsorship fee or some other means, in short, within a week, your child will be able to return to No. 2 Middle School. β
"Lao Li, what you said is true?" Lu Gesheng and Wu Xu both widened their eyes and looked at Li Linguang, they couldn't believe their ears.
"If Qin Hai can't do it, I, Lao Li, am responsible for helping you get the sponsorship fee for all the children in the 33 schools. If I don't do what I say, I'm here! Li Linguang also red-eyed, stretched out his hand and gestured to a king eight, and said with an oath.
"Lao Li!" Luge stood up suddenly, his lips trembling for a moment, not knowing what to say. He grabbed another wine bottle, bit the cap with his teeth, cleaned the bowl in front of him for drinking soup, poured two taels of wine into the bowl, and then picked it up with both hands and said to Li Linguang:
"Professor Li, I, Lu Gesheng, swear by this wine today, as long as Team Leader Qin can help my Xiaofei return to No. 2 Middle School, my life will be handed over to him, if I don't get the metallurgical process out, I'll come to see you."
With that, he drank all the wine in one go, and then smashed the bowl to the ground. (To be continued......)
