Lin Zhenhua gave Peng Gang and Yang Xin an hour or two of lectures, and introduced some of the main methods of cooking. These two people are very receptive people, after listening to this, I have some impressions of the CNC machine tools. Lin Zhenhua asked them to process some simple parts first to familiarize themselves with the surname of the machine tool, and he went back to the handling class with a manual. This manual is all in English, and Lin Zhenhua must translate the main content and make it into a Chinese text, so that the machine tool operators can consult it at any time when using it.

Back in the handling class, Lin Zhenhua saw that Zhong Rulin and several others were not there, leaving Xiong Lijun sitting there alone, looking bored. Lin Zhenhua asked with a smile: "Old Xiong, why didn't you work?" ”

Xiong Lijun said: "Why didn't you work, I just went to unload a cart of materials, and my leg was knocked out." ”

Lin Zhenhua took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, threw it to Xiong Lijun, and said, "Come, take it, this time I went to Guangzhou on a business trip, and a foreign businessman sent it." ”

Xiong Lijun caught the cigarette, glanced at the trademark, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "My grass, Marlboro, I think I've been thinking about this cigarette for more than 20 years." ”

"No, aren't you in your 20s?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Xiong Lijun couldn't wait to open the seal of the cigarette, took out one, lit it with a lighter, took a deep breath, and then said with an intoxicated expression: "I smoked when I was 3 years old, do you calculate, has it been more than 20 years?" ”

"You cow!" Lin Zhenhua gave him a thumbs up, then sat down by himself, opened the machine manual and began to translate.

"Xiaolin, I heard that you have made a fortune." Xiong Lijun said on the side.

"Listen to whom?"

"Master Zhong." Xiong Lijun said, "The old man still wants to help you hide it, so let me ask all the questions in three or two sentences." He said that you have met a friend with a lot of money, and he is very generous, and he gave him the tape recorder in Lao Zhu's house. ”

Lin Zhenhua shook his head, he knew that with Zhong Rulin's honesty, he really couldn't hide things in his heart, fortunately he pulled Qi Zhongmou out as a shield, otherwise he wouldn't know what it would be like in the factory.

"Xiaolin, I heard that the CNC machine tool in the workshop was brought by you?" Xiong Lijun gave birth to a new topic.

"It's a coincidence." Lin Zhenhua was sloppy.

"I said you're stupid." Xiong Lijun said.

"How?"

"According to me, let the Americans give me all the money for the machine tool, I heard that this machine tool is more than 10,000 US dollars, if you change it on the black market, you can exchange it for 100,000 yuan. What's the use of giving it to the factory, such a big factory, there is still a shortage of these 100,000 yuan? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "The Americans are also just for inter-factory cooperation, how can they give me money?" ”

"You can ask the Americans to give the machine tool to your big-money friend, who is a private boss, and he will definitely be able to sell the machine tool by hand, and then divide half of it with you, isn't it?" Xiong Lijun came up with an idea.

Lin Zhenhua smiled: "Old Xiong, I really admire your business acumen. But what do I need so much money for? According to what you said, this machine is worth 100,000 yuan, and I take half of it to be 50,000 yuan. But I'm a worker, what do I want 50,000 yuan for? ”

"You're not sick, are you?" Xiong Lijun jumped down from the stool and touched the bruised place on his leg when he had just unloaded the car, which made him grin, but this did not affect his grand statement: "Xiaolin, do you know how much money this is?" 50,000 yuan! My monthly salary is only 42 yuan, 50,000 yuan, how many years do I have to earn! ”

"50,000 divided by 42 equals 1,190 months, and divided by 12 equals 99 years." Lin Zhenhua casually wrote an equation on a piece of paper, and then reported the result to Xiong Lijun.

"Yes, think about it, 50,000 yuan, I have to earn 99 years to earn it. Will I be able to live this long? This means that I will never earn 50,000 yuan in my life. If someone gives me 50,000 yuan, I will sell myself to him right away and help him do it for the rest of my life. Xiong Lijun said.

"What you said is true?" Lin Zhenhua's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at Xiong Lijundao.

"Of course it's true." Xiong Lijun said, "Xiaolin, you ask your big-money friend, if you want to recruit a helper, as long as you give 10,000 yuan, I will work for him for 10 years, and promise to let me do anything." ”

"However, you are now an employee of a state-owned enterprise, and you go to work for a private boss, are you willing to give up your iron job?" Lin Zhenhua asked tentatively.

"The bullshit iron rice bowl is just a broken bowl that asks for rice." Xiong Lijun said, "I earn 42 yuan a month, it's not enough to support myself, I can't even afford to pack cigarettes now, if I don't know you Xiaolin, I can't smoke a Marlboro in my life, what do you say I mean by living?" A few days ago, I wrote from my family again, saying that someone else introduced me to a partner, asked me to ask for leave to go back and see, I went to see a fart, and now it costs at least 1,000 yuan to get married, how can I have money? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Actually, I have a friend who is helping that big-money friend now, helping him sell electronic watches in Fenghua County, and now his income is quite good." ”

"Selling electronic watches?" Xiong Lijun asked, "I've seen that young man carry a big canvas bag to sell electronic watches at the gate of the county every day, and the money is like robbing money." You mean, that lad is doing things for your big-money friends? ”

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "Old Xiong, let's not hide it, I also have some shares in it." ”

"Really! Xiao Lin, Boss Lin, you must take me with you. Xiong Lijun said to Lin Zhenhua urgently as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Lin Zhenhua hesitated.

For Xiong Lijun, Lin Zhenhua still trusts him very much. In the eyes of others, Xiong Lijun is not motivated, he is lazy and lazy, but Lin Zhenhua knows that this is just because Xiong Lijun can't see hope. Lin Zhenhua has talked with Xiong Lijun many times, and he found that Xiong Lijun is a very business-minded person, and he is a decent person, abiding by his credit, and is indeed a person who can cooperate.

However, Lin Zhenhua never thought of pulling Xiong Lijun to partner in business, because Xiong Lijun is an employee of a state-owned enterprise and has an iron rice bowl. Lin Zhenhua himself will not throw away this rice bowl for a while, but he is not sure whether Xiong Lijun is willing to throw away this rice bowl.

"Xiaolin, you can do it with that young man, why can't you take me with you? It's not me bragging, if I go to help you sell electronic watches, it will definitely sell better than your young man. I've observed him, and he's not a business material at all, and he doesn't bargain with people or improvise, and I feel anxious when I look at him. Xiong Lijun tried hard to strengthen Lin Zhenhua's thoughts.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old Xiong, you have to think about it. There is a lot of risk in doing business. My friend is an unemployed young man who has nothing, so I can take him with me. And you have a unit, drought and flood to ensure harvest, do you really have the guts to throw it all away? ”

Xiong Lijun laughed self-deprecatingly: "Xiaolin, you have also seen, I am a single person now, and I will still be like this if I work for another ten years." To be honest, I don't want to be like this for the rest of my life, I just haven't found a chance. If you can give me a chance, no matter how risky it is, I'm willing to jump down. ”

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "Old Xiong, I really need your help at the moment." The young man who helped me do things was called Lan Wufeng, he was a Yunnan educated youth, and his household registration was still in Yunnan, so he couldn't get a self-employment license in Fenghua County, and I was thinking about whose name to use to apply for this license. In addition, as you said, he is indeed a little lacking in management, and if Fenghua's business is to expand, he will definitely not be able to rely on him alone. ”

"I can do both. On the side of the individual license, as long as I make a resignation report, I can be regarded as an unemployed youth, and I can apply for an individual license at that time. As for the management, I don't have any evidence, but as long as you give me a chance, I will prove it to you. Xiong Lijun patted his chest and said.

"Well, Old Bear, let's talk about this step today, and you and I will think about it again. The conditions I can offer are as follows: First, I will give you 2,000 yuan as compensation for your resignation. Second, I promise to pay you no less than 100 yuan per month. Thirdly, if the business goes well, I will allocate you shares in the future, up to 20% of the total shares. These are the three conditions that you consider considering. ”

Hearing Lin Zhenhua say such specific conditions, Xiong Lijun felt a little panicked for a while. He hesitated for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Xiao Lin, I don't even dare to think about these conditions you said. In the past, I also thought that as long as someone gave me 1,000 yuan, I would quit my job and sell something casually, which was better than earning 42 yuan in the factory. But when I heard you say this just now, I really have some decline in my heart. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old Xiong, I completely understand your feelings. After all, this is a big step in life, and it is not something that can be taken so casually, so you should think about it seriously. However, I can assure you that if you take this step, you will not regret it. ”

Although Lin Zhenhua said this, he was very emotional in his heart. He dared to say that Xiong Lijun would never regret it, and it was only because he had an understanding of the changes in Chinese society in the next 30 years. In a period like 1980, no one really knew how risky it would be to give up an iron rice bowl. On this issue, he can't make a decision for Xiong Lijun, so let Xiong Lijun think about it himself.

"Let me think about it." Xiong Lijun stood up, stuffed the box of Marlboros into his pocket, and slowly walked out of the handling class, "Xiaolin, if Master Zhong comes, help me ask for a leave, just say that my foot is injured and I want to go back to rest." ”

"Why are you going?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

"I'll go walk on the embankment and think about it."
