Chapter 66 Reform and Opening-up

From December 18 to 22, 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the People's Republic of China was held in BJ.

This meeting completely repudiated the principle of "two whatevers" and re-established the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts. Stop using the slogan of "taking class struggle as the key link" and make the great decision to shift the focus of the work of the party and the state to economic construction and carry out reform and opening up!

In this great era of national transformation, at the gate of the Jiang'an Automobile Factory in Bincheng, Border Province, provincial and municipal leaders, industrial bureaus and brother units, as well as many invited representatives of provincial and municipal departments, came to attend the unveiling ceremony of the new enterprise name of the automobile factory.

After more than one year of application, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce finally approved the enterprise name of Jiang'an Automobile Plant and changed it to Volkswagen AG.

Chen Minlie, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, attended on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee. Chen Minlie clapped his hands, smiled and removed the red cloth on the plaque, and he enthusiastically said to the crowd and workers present: "Let's warmly celebrate the official unveiling of Volkswagen!" I hope Volkswagen will develop better and produce better quality cars! As an excellent product on behalf of the industry of our province, go to the whole province! Get out of Longjiang! Make more contributions to the construction of Longjiang industry! ”

The leaders of the municipal government who came to participate were also Director Miyamoto Yan of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. Lin Xiangrong, the accompanying factory director, Chang Yuanting, secretary of the factory committee, and Zheng Yongmin, the old secretary on crutches, all applauded with laughter and laughter, and the automobile factory finally had a formal and loud name!

The fraternal units present also sent personnel to participate, including the city glass factory that produces windshields for the factory, the city chemical fiber factory, the city leather factory, and the sofa bedspread factory that produces seat and chair covers, the city gear machine factory that produces transmission gears, and the city foundry that produces transmission systems and chassis systems.

After the unveiling ceremony, the leaders and the factory directors and representatives of the factory directors from the brother units, a group of more than 100 people, visited the factory together and visited the factory with great interest.

Everyone was happily and enthusiastically discussing. It can be seen that they are also very surprised and appreciative when they see the manual semi-automatic production line.

Seeing that the time is almost up, it is time for lunch. Chang Yuanting and Zheng Yongmin whispered a few words, and then Chang Yuanting beckoned Lin Xiangrong over and whispered: "Xiang Rong, do you want to invite the leaders and brother units to the restaurant for a light meal, and we also have a chance to learn with each brother unit?" ”

Lin Xiangrong looked at the old secretary, and saw that Zheng Yongmin also nodded to him, it seemed that this meal had to be invited by the factory, he said hesitantly: "I have no experience, the two big brothers will look at it!" ”

Chang Yuanting wanted to entertain everyone to the restaurant for a summary meal, and the people from the brother units were even more happy when they heard that there was a banquet.

Later generations felt that the people of the seventies and eighties were simple, and there was no banquet at this time. In fact, people in this era also have hospitality rules, and often some opportunities to visit and study in various places are the opportunities for these people who usually have nowhere to eat.

In times of economic hardship, some experts and scholars proposed to raise the price of delicacies from the mountains and seas in order to generate income for the country. Therefore, in this era, there were counters where state-run stores specialized in selling high-priced delicacies from the mountains and seas. They tend to be expensive and require a certain level. Ordinary people, naturally, it is difficult to understand.

Naturally, the car factory could not lag behind in entertaining the public, and the show was very successful. The provincial and municipal leaders were very satisfied, and the faces of the people from the fraternal units were also full of red light.

Such a rare opportunity, Lin Qiangsheng naturally has to participate, there is a chance to eat and drink, why didn't he come!

Lin Qiangsheng was very thick-skinned and sat with Zhang Tongde, the director of the sofa factory, and these tables were all light industrial units.

He said to Zhang Tongde, who was drunk, and his eyes were hazy: "Director Zhang, I want to make a spring bed!" Has your factory done it? ”

Zhang Tongde shook his head, sobered up his mind, and asked, "Brother Johnson & Johnson, what, spring bed?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng also toasted Zhang Tongde a few glasses of wine just now, Zhang Tongde is in his 40s, he drank a little too much, and he was stunned to call Lin Qiangsheng his brother.

Lin Qiangsheng roughly explained the structure of the spring bed to Zhang Tongde, and then said: "It's such a bed, I think it must be very comfortable to lie down!" Can your factory do it? ”

Zhang Tongde pondered for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "Oh! Isn't that just a spring added to the bed? I've seen it at the Canton Fair, and our factory can do it! That thing, like a spring in a couch, is simple. We'll be done another day, and we'll bring you the chair together. ”

Lin Qiangsheng laughed and said, "Then thank you Director Zhang!" ”

Zhang Tongde patted Lin Qiangsheng on the shoulder, laughed and said, "You're welcome!" Let's eat well this time, if you have anything to say, I'll tell you Uncle Zhang! After saying that, he hiccuped and laughed.

Sun Dazhou, the director of the tannery next to him, also said: "Yes! It's rare to have such a chance to eat, it's not easy! The small factory can't afford to invite us, and the big factory is old, so I don't mean to invite us. It's rare for your dad to be like this! You tell your father that if you need anything in the future, Sun Dazhou of the tannery is absolutely unambiguous! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded hurriedly and dealt with the factory directors who drank about the same.

It is very necessary to contact various fraternal units in the city this time. Many people who were not familiar with each other have established good friendships.

Please come down for a meal, let Lin Xiangrong benefit a lot! The leaders of the brother units chatted happily with Lin Xiangrong, and they all patted their chests to ensure the supply and quality of spare parts.

Lin Qiangsheng sent his father home and helped him to the kang on his shoulders. It was cold on the kang, and he hurriedly ran to the kitchen to light a fire.

Father Lin Xiangrong was in a daze at this time, and was still muttering: "... Walk around, move around..."

The next morning, Lin Qiangsheng found Sun Ying and asked him, "Do you know who in our school can write big-character posters?" ”

Sun Ying suddenly looked at him vigilantly and asked, "Why are you inquiring about this?" I don't know! ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at Sun Ying's puzzled and suspicious expression, he hurriedly took out a copy of this morning's provincial newspaper from his bag, handed it to Sun Ying, patted the first page of the newspaper happily and excitedly, and said, "The Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee is here!" Reform and opening up! Reform and opening up! The spring thunder is blowing, and the cold winter is coming! ”

Sun Ying looked at the newspaper, which had a big headline saying that the conference was successfully completed, and he blinked his eyes and asked: "What reform and opening up, what does it matter to me?" I'm a poet! ”

Lin Qiangsheng laughed and shouted, "Spring is coming!" Spring is coming! ”

After Lin Qiangsheng finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the teaching building, jumping as he ran, waving a newspaper and shouting, "Spring is coming!" Spring is coming! ”

Chen Yao looked at Lin Qiangsheng as if he was crazy, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry, she chased after Lin Qiangsheng and called: "Qiangsheng, what's wrong with you?" Wait for me! ”

The students on the road looked at this crazy classmate running and screaming, and there was a tear-stained girl chasing after him, and they all turned their heads to look at Sun Ying.

Sun Ying hurriedly shook her hand and said, "I don't know him!" Who is this? Neuropathy! ”

Lin Qiangsheng found Qi Wei in the teaching building, where he was painting advertisements in his studio.

Lin Qiangsheng opened the door and saw Qi Wei lying on the canvas and coloring seriously. The canvas is a large canvas, painted white with white paint, and the watch is painted slightly at an angle in the center, while Qi Wei is carefully adjusting the relationship between light and dark on the edge of the case.

Lin Qiangsheng entered the studio, Chen Yao ran over and pulled Lin Qiangsheng's sleeve, and the little girl cried profusely.

Lin Qiangsheng smiled, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it for Chen Yao.

Chen Yao pouted and asked, "Johnson, what happened to you just now?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Spring is coming, I'm happy." ”

Chen Yao said: "What spring, it's winter now!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng sighed and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Qi Wei something." ”

Qi Wei lay on the ground, his expression was focused, he didn't notice someone coming in at all, and when someone came over, he raised his head, saw that it was Lin Qiangsheng, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will finish painting soon!" Give me a few more days to adjust the colors! ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the very realistic watch on the canvas and said in amazement: "Qi Wei, you might as well change your career to advertising after graduation." With your hand of painting, you will definitely make a lot of money! ”

Qi Wei raised his head again, looked at Lin Qiangsheng, he shook his head, and said with a serious expression: "That's not the life I want!" ”

"Uh... Admire! Lin Qiangsheng watched Qi Wei continue to paint and nodded indifferently.
