3. Laid off
Zhang Han is a very vulgar person, at least he thinks so. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He doesn't have any noble feelings of worrying about the country and the people, nor does he have any great sentiment of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world", he is just a layman, although he has encountered the unimaginable super welfare of rebirth, but all he thinks about is making money and making money. Maybe when he has money, he will do some charity, but for now, he has no such idea in his heart.
In his own words, it is "poor, poor and afraid, so never be poor again", it's as simple as that.
With a goal set in his heart, he must continue to move towards the goal and strive to achieve his heart's wishes, fortunately, he has memories of the next 20 years, and this advanced memory can bring him unimaginable wealth. But that's a later story, the most important thing at the moment is to familiarize yourself with this era first, and try not to show your feet.
After breakfast, after cleaning up the house briefly, Zhang Han put on his clothes and went out with his parents.
Today is Children's Day, which is the favorite holiday of all children. Dad and Mom also often take him to Tongcheng Park on Children's Day, which is the largest park in Tongcheng and has many amusement facilities, even after more than 20 years, it is still the best place to play outdoors in Tongcheng.
It's just that today's Zhang Han has changed, and he has no interest in going to the park at all. However, in order not to worry his parents, he still deliberately pretended to be a child, and his face revealed a happy look.
On the way to the bus stop, Zhang Han quietly followed his parents, neither noisy nor noisy, and was a little too well-behaved.
This is also something that can't be helped, it's already difficult to pretend to be tender, how can you bounce like a normal child? Although he has a nine-year-old shell, he is a man in his thirties at heart, and it is better to kill him if he is a child who wants to be a child.
Tongcheng in 97 still looks very backward.
The buildings on both sides of the street are only five stories high, the pavement is tattered, plastic bags and waste paper are flying everywhere, garbage is piled up on the roadside, and the sewers smell foul.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the streets, most of them are riding bicycles, and private cars are still a very tall existence in this era, and then Tongcheng is a rare existence.
And not to mention private cars, even taxis are very rare these days. There are also some yellow vans, that is, the legendary Tianjin Dafa, which is called "noodle shell" or "yellow noodle (di)" by the locals here in Tongcheng, and the price of a ride is very expensive.
Zhang Han's family is just one of the most ordinary families in Tongcheng, so he is naturally reluctant to take a taxi, in fact, his parents usually go out by bicycle, if the road is a little far, or if there are special circumstances, they will occasionally take the bus.
Zhang Han's eyes kept looking at the surrounding environment. It's still a familiar street, or a scene in memory, and it's very different from the future. For example, the land not far to the south will become one of the commercial hotspots in Tongcheng in the future, but now it is still a big wild land, the road is a dirt road, and the dirt road is still farmland on both sides, and the future commercial center is completely two worlds.
In the next ten years, the entire land of China will enter a period of rapid development, and Tongcheng is no exception.
By the time Zhang Han was reborn, the entire Tongcheng had already been full of high-rise buildings and traffic, and the city had tripled in size, becoming a modern metropolis. Unlike now, it doesn't look as prosperous as a small county town in the future. While watching, he compares the difference between the present and the future, and looks for business opportunities that can be exploited from the bits and pieces.
I was thinking silently in my heart, and unconsciously, I heard the conversation of my parents.
āā¦ā¦ The factory has issued a notice, saying that it will go home next week......"
This is his mother's voice, Zhang Han didn't pay much attention to the conversation between his parents before, but now he suddenly heard such a sentence, a certain memory in his heart began to recover, and his attention couldn't help but focus, and he always felt that this conversation sounded familiar.
Immediately afterward, he heard his father's words.
"Then I'll talk to my dad about it when I can't do it, just change the factory?"
Zhang Han's father, Zhang Jianjun, said with a worried face.
"Change factories? I don't think it's a big deal to change factories. The rubber factory is about to go bankrupt, and the other factories will be better? Sangu and their paper factories have not been funded for two months, and Xiaomin's leather shoe factory is not the same? What's the use of changing factories even if you change them, it's not that you have to be laid off in the end! ā
Mother's voice was slightly raised.
Laid off!
Zhang Han's spirit shook suddenly.
He remembered it, and no wonder he felt the conversation all too familiar. He had heard this conversation in his previous life, and it happened just a month before his mother was laid off, and today in history, the same parents took him to the park to play, the same conversation, but he was just a nine-year-old kid back then, and he didn't care about anything except eating and playing, so he didn't feel anything at all.
In fact, less than a month after this conversation ended, five factories in Tongcheng declared bankruptcy, liquidated assets, and workers were laid off...... This is almost the epitome of all the state-owned factories in the entire land of China in these years, because of various historical reasons, these state-owned factories could not keep up with the pace of the times, and were eventually eliminated by the times.
The older generation is okay, the retired are retired, and the non-retired are almost the same, and they can get their pensions in the next three or two years. It's okay for the younger generation because they're still too young, they still have a lot of time to squander, and they also have the time and energy to learn new skills.
In this wave of layoffs, it happened to be Zhang Han's parents' generation who were really pitted. Around the age of thirty or forty, it will take many years to retire, and the energy and ability to go out to learn new skills are somewhat unable to keep up.
Without any skills, he can only end up in all corners of society and make a living by doing odd jobs. A whole generation of people has been so delayed, and they were suddenly laid off when they were in the prime of life, and they were completely unable to accept and adapt to such a cruel fact, and when they came back to their senses, they were already old, and the best time was wasted, and it was a tragic generation second only to the post-80s.
"Then what else can I do, you have to go to work. If the rubber factory doesn't work, change places, I don't believe it, and all the factories can go out of business? ā
Father Zhang Jianjun said in a deep voice.
"Why not? If there is one, there will be a second, and if there is a second, there will be a third, you can see for yourself, in addition to the third factory, which factory in Tongcheng can be maintained now. ā
Mother couldn't help but retort.
And the three factories in her mouth are the words of the people in Tongcheng, referring to Tongcheng Distillery, Tongcheng Gear Factory and Tongcheng Locomotive Factory. These three factories survived the wave of bankruptcy and layoffs, and they are still alive and well, even before Zhang Han was reborn, these three factories still existed.
As for today's era, these three factories and one bureau are directly synonymous with good units in the hearts of Tongcheng people. Being able to work there is a lot of face. Moreover, the wages of the workers of the three factories are generally high, and the workers of other factories can earn two or three hundred yuan at most, and now the wages of ordinary workers in the third factory can reach 500 yuan.
Don't underestimate these two hundred yuan, the two hundred yuan in 97 years is comparable to the thousand yuan in later generations, you can earn an extra thousand yuan a month, and it is a drought and flood to ensure income, the difference between this can be imagined.
Luan Meiqin is very clear about this, and Zhang Jianjun certainly understands, but is the third factory so easy to enter?
Nowadays, the problem of overpopulation has begun to appear in the land of China, and how many young people of school age have not yet worked. The two of them can have a stable job, relying on the face of their old father, who is the deputy director of the Light Industry Bureau, that is, Grandpa Zhang Han. But the old man of the three factories and one bureau can't speak, and if he wants to arrange a person inside, it is extremely difficult.
So even if Zhang Jianjun listened to his wife's words, he couldn't answer the stubble at all, so he could only close his mouth and walk forward with his head covered.
Zhang Jianjun was so silent, Luan Meiqin suddenly stopped talking, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Zhang Han looked up at his parents, looked at his father, and then looked at his mother, and his eyes rolled.
"Mom and Dad, let's open a knife noodle shop at home!"
Zhang Han looked up at his parents and said crisply.
