Chapter 27: The Bitterness of Blind Dates
On the way back, Xu Hongwen said to his father: "Dad, the factory has not paid wages for several months, does the county have any explanation?" “
"Alas!" Xu Jinjun sighed, the foundation laid in the bulb factory a few years ago has been eaten up in the past two years, the sales of light bulbs can not come up and can not increase production indiscriminately, otherwise it will only press more money, think about the county's words Xu Jinjun was angry for a while, and said helplessly: "It's good that the county has money, even the wages of the government units have not been paid for several months, and there is money for our factory!" “
Looking at his father beside him, the short hair on his head has turned gray, and his walking steps are still in a hurry, Xu Hongwen can't keep up with his pace if he doesn't go faster, Xu Hongwen just asked casually, if the county has money, it will make the bulb factory go out of business, and the new two or three hundred laid-off workers are not a small pressure for this small county.
Seeing that his father was worried about the factory, Xu Hongwen was also anxious for him, and he had no way to help his father for a while, even if Xu Hongwen had a good idea, there would be no output without capital investment.
When he was about to get home, Xu Hongwen said to his father: "Dad, the only way out now is to sell the light bulbs in the factory, otherwise you won't be able to feed so many people with the sales in Wugu County!" ”
"Who's to say it's not, but that one is so bad that there's no way to get the bulb out!"
"It's not that there is no way, I just thought about it carefully, and I think the shockproof effect of the packaging used in the factory is not very good!"
"The factory price of the bulb is only 7 cents a piece, and there is no money to make if the packaging increases the cost!"
Seeing that his father did not approve, Xu Hongwen explained to him that there would be no increase in cost, because the glass wall of the bulb was very thin, and it could not withstand the collision at all, and there was no problem with the previous way of adding a partition to the box, but the height of the bulb would be surplus after being put into the small grid in the box, and if the road was bumpy in the process of transportation, the bulb would hit the upper and lower lids of the carton up and down, and if the packaging was carried out on each bulb, the waste newspaper could solve this problem.
Hearing this, Xu Jinjun's eyes lit up, and he wondered why he didn't think of this good solution, and this method can solve the problem without spending any money, as long as the problem of high loss in the transportation process is solved, their factory can completely produce light bulbs in two shifts and at full power. After knowing this method, Xu Jindong left his son, turned around and went back to the factory.
Xu Hongwen looked at his father who was rushing back, and he was very happy to help his father solve this problem, in fact, in his heart, he wanted the bulb factory to produce fluorescent lamps, the technical content of fluorescent lamps is not high, and the profits are also large, but the problem of the road has not been solved, it is too early to say this!
When she returned home, Fang Mei had already prepared a meal, Xu Hongwen smelled the fragrant aroma of the meal outside the door, Fang Mei saw that her son came back alone, and asked, "Where is your father?" ”
"My dad was almost at the door, but he went back to the factory because of something!"
Fang Mei muttered a few words and beckoned Xu Hongwen to wash his hands and eat, and at the dinner table, Xu Hongwen said his idea of opening a store in Haizhou.
Hearing Xu Hongwen say that he was going to open a store, Fang Mei asked worriedly: "It costs a lot of money to open a store in Haizhou, right?" ”
Knowing that his mother was worried about money, Xu Hongwen said: "It doesn't cost much to open a shop to repair Big Brother, I helped someone repair a Big Brother before, and I earned 1,200 yuan!" ”
"That's a lot!" Fang Mei, who is quite well-informed, has heard that only the secretary and the county magistrate have a big brother in the county, but she didn't expect that the big brother would spend so much money to repair it, 1200 yuan is her salary for more than four months, she doesn't think about it, and after putting down the bowl in her hand, she said: "Hongwen, someone really spends more than 1,000 yuan to repair that big brother?" ”
"Mom, can't my son still lie to you! Big Brother buys a new one for more than 30,000 yuan, and spending thousands of dollars to repair it is nothing! ”
"There are still people in the city who are rich, and there are only a handful of 10,000 households in our county!"
"There are many officials and rich people in Haizhou, but a big brother can buy tens of thousands of yuan, and no one's money is from the big waves, who can spend thousands of repairs who will pay those tens of thousands of unjust money!"
"You're right..."
Although Fang Mei said that she was a little concerned about her son's study, she was relieved under Xu Hongwen's words, after listening to Xu Hongwen's words just now, she knew that there should be few people who could cultivate Big Brother in Haizhou now, and Fang Mei, who was economically minded, knew that cultivating Big Brother was a business that could make money, and she thought that it would be good to study more.
After eating, Xu Hongwen sent lunch to his father, and then went to find a little Yuan Lei, Yuan Lei's home is next door to the light bulb factory, Yuan Lei, who has long graduated from college, is now working in the county government, and his family has just finished eating when he arrives at Yuan Lei's house.
Yuan Lei's home is one of the few single-family buildings in the county, his father was a plasterer before, the first two years saw the opportunity to take a few people in Haizhou to repair the factory for others to make some money, now his father is getting bigger and bigger as a contractor, this small building is only built this year, the brand new building in this dilapidated county not to mention how magnificent, I heard that after the building was repaired, the people who came to Yuan Lei to propose relatives have stepped on the threshold of his house.
When he arrived at the door of Yuan Lei's house, Xu Hongwen shouted outside the door: "Yuan Lei, you are not at home!" ”
Yuan Lei, who had just dropped the chopsticks, was drinking tea, listening to his mother asking Yuan Lei to go on a blind date to see a girl in the past two days, during this time, Yuan Lei, who was scared, did not dare to escape under his father's prestige, and was trying to find an excuse to push the blind date Yuan Lei, who heard that Xu Hongwen was shouting at him outside, replied loudly: "I'm here, you wait, I'll come down immediately!" ”
After Yuan Lei finished speaking, he ran out as if he was running, only to hear his father say in the back, "Such a big person doesn't know stability", Yuan Lei who ran out was relieved, and said happily when he saw Xu Hongwen: "Brother Wen, you can be regarded as saving me this time!" ”
Hearing this, Xu Hongwen was confused, and pulled Yuan Lei to ask as he walked, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's not that my mother forced me to go on a blind date, do you think this matter can be in a hurry?"
Knowing that this was the case, Xu Hongwen laughed so much that his stomach hurt, and he said with some schadenfreude: "You are a man, you are still afraid of blind dates!" ”
"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, just in the past two months, my mother has called me to kiss no less than ten times, I really don't want to get married like this, and now I really regret why I didn't fall in love when I was in college!"
Hearing the number of blind dates that Yuan Lei said, Xu Hongwen really felt that his mother was too powerful, but this effort was in the wrong place, and Yuan Lei's out-of-the-box temperament would be at the mercy of the fuck, and the somewhat curious Xu Hongwen asked: "Hey, it's not too late to talk now, none of you have been in a relationship more than ten times and none of them can be seen!" ”
Yuan Lei, who has been tested on blind dates for a long time, also thickened his skin, thought about it and said: "Don't say it, I used to be the little tail Liu Yan behind us, I haven't seen her for a few years, and now she is really a female college with eighteen changes, and I can see my eyes straight when I go on a blind date, but people don't take a fancy to me!" I always ask about you on a blind date, I think Liu Yan has a crush on you! ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Hearing Yuan Lei talk about him, Xu Hongwen scolded with a smile and said: "Liu Yan is the only college student in our county who was admitted to Beijing University, and it is normal for him to have a higher vision!" She should be almost done now, right? ”
After a few idle words, Xu Hongwen asked again: "Yuan Lei, how do you feel working in the county government now!" ”
Speaking of work, Yuan Lei had a headache, when he graduated, his father entrusted the relationship to let Yuan Lei enter the county government to work, and there were many leaders who managed them at work in the county, not to mention, serving tea and pouring water, sweeping and mopping a lot of chores, all of which were about to turn a college student into a nanny, although he had been in the agency for more than three years, his situation was much better, and he became a staff member and became a chief clerk, but a cup of tea and a day of reporting have not changed, and the work is not challenging, not to mention, and now even the salary cannot be paid, It's so big that Yuan Lei has to find money from his family.
Yuan Lei said without complaints: "That's it, mess around!" ”
Looking at Yuan Lei's appearance, Xu Hongwen knew that he didn't like the life of a civil servant, it didn't matter if he didn't know how to slap horses in the officialdom, it was really difficult for a civil servant to get out of the way, just let Yuan Lei let him pat other people's ass, don't make it a kick for someone else's ass!
The two walked to the old place and found a table to play billiards, talking about their recent situation, and the afternoon passed like this, and after settling the bill, the two of them went back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers...
