The merchants at the south gate of the Xiucheng Vegetable and Fish Wholesale Market set up their stalls early as usual, waiting for the vegetable vendors in the city to come and buy goods.

The weather in June and July is cooler in the morning, and the small traders and vendors are all in a hurry to buy their goods, and soon the whole market is filled with the lively sound of people neighing and barking.

At first, no one cared, but soon the rumbling sound of the market wall attracted the attention of the merchants.

"Hey, Lao Liu, what's going on?" The merchant Lao Bai came out of his shed and asked his friend next door curiously.

"I don't know what to do, why don't you go over and have a look? I didn't hear what the market said about repairing here! Lao Liu next to him poked his head out of his vegetable shed with his shiny bald head and echoed.

"Shall we take a look, then?"

"Well, let's go, let's take a look!"

As they spoke, they threw the work in their hands to their own Hun family, and leaned closer to the wall where the sound was made.

However, before they could get closer, a worker in blue overalls stopped them.

"Hey, don't go over, it's dangerous to go any further!"

The two of them looked at the dust flying behind the wall, and they really couldn't tell what they were doing. Watching the excitement is watching the excitement, and it's not worth taking your life. So they stood still and asked the worker who had stopped them, "I said, master, what are you doing here?" I didn't hear anything from the market management office! ”

Lao Liu said, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to the worker.

The worker took Lao Liu's cigarette with a smile, lit his fire, and took a beautiful puff. Only then did he say: "It's a project on our side of the high, and it has nothing to do with the market management office." ”

Lao Liu's eyes lit up, and he asked with interest: "Oh? What are you doing here? Do you want to tear down the wall? ”

"That's right, it's convenient for you to tear down the wall and build a door, isn't it?"

Lao Liu and Lao Bai glanced at each other, and their hearts were excited. But he still asked worriedly: "Do you know what the market management department knows about doing this?" Can they make it? ”

When the master worker heard this, he smiled proudly with his back molars: "When we built this wall, the market management office didn't know which mother's womb the road came from, and they could also control the wall of their own house?" ”

At this time, the sound from the back of the wall became louder and louder, and several merchants came over curiously to inquire about the situation. After listening to Lao Liu and Lao Bai's preaching, they all excitedly surrounded the worker master and asked questions.

"Master, you really let us go when you open this door?" An outsider with a Henan accent squinted his eyes at the rattling wall not far away.

"Yes, how can there be a reason to open the door and not let people go?"

This Henan people can come all the way to Xiucheng to do business, but the head melon is still not good? It is really a song to know the elegance, draw inferences, and touch the analogy......

In short, before the worker's voice fell, the Henan man turned around and left, not even caring about the stall. The friend who had a good relationship with him saw that he was in a hurry and wanted to ask him why he was going, but before he could speak, the others were gone.

Zhou Shuo was standing on the playground and watching the workers demolishing the wall not far away, and safety production was a big deal. This is a hammer and a brick, and if you hit your personal medical expenses, you can lose a high position.

At this time, a person walked in from the school gate from a distance, and the uncle who watched the school gate pointed to it, so he walked towards Zhou Shuo with a smile.

"Is it Principal Zhou? Hello hello hello! This Henan man was stunned when he saw Zhou Shuo's appearance clearly, and thought to himself that this principal is really young, why does he look like a doll who has just left the campus?

Zhou Shuo turned to look at him and asked suspiciously, "Hello, may I ask who you are?" ”

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Li Chiqi, and I am a merchant in the vegetable wholesale market! ”

Li Chiqi said, stretching out his hand. Zhou Shuo shook hands with him, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Boss Li, you have something to do with me?" ”

"Something!" Li Chiqi nodded heavily, waved his hand, and said boldly: "I won't say that kind word, I just want to ask Principal Zhou, can you rent me a space in the school to make a warehouse?" I'm out of three, no, five hundred, five hundred in a month? ”

didn't wait for Zhou Shuo to speak, but he heard someone shouting by the wall: "Let me go!" Get out of the way, the wall is down! ”

Then there was a boom, and a section of the wall was slowly tilted in the smoke, and then neatly slammed to the ground. The walls built in the seventies and eighties were made of very solid materials, and the sheer weight caused the earth to tremble slightly when it fell.

Zhou Shuo hurriedly ran over, looked left and right, and asked repeatedly, "How is it, is anyone injured?" ”

"Don't worry, principal, everyone be careful, it's okay!"

Zhou Shuo was relieved when he heard this, but he saw that the smoke had not yet fallen, and someone on the opposite side of the wall rushed over with bricks.

Although Lao Liu and Lao Bai do not have the keen business vision of Li Chiqi, their mouths are long on their faces, and they can ask if they don't understand. After being on the other side of the wall for so long, the workers who used to maintain the site had already made the situation clear.

As soon as Lao Bai rushed over, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Where is Principal Zhou?" Who is Principal Zhou? ”

Xiao Dong, who was holding a sledgehammer, stood by the wall and raised his head proudly and pointed proudly: "This is our Principal Zhou!" ”

"Headmaster, I want to rent a house!"

"I'm going to rent it too!"

"Don't crowd, I'll come first, line up!"

A group of merchants followed Xiao Dong's fingers and immediately surrounded Zhou Shuo three layers inside and three layers outside. He took the trouble to receive every merchant happily and recorded their names.

After a lively morning, everything was finally arranged. Liu Guifang, who had kept the accounts, said with a smile: "Principal Zhou, it's okay now!" I didn't expect all the thirty warehouses to be rented out so quickly, counting this money, not only is the salary enough to pay this month, but also more than 3,000 rich! ”

Hearing that there is so much income, Zhou Shuo is also very happy. However, after all, it is difficult to return to the high position, and the foundation is still a little thin. He asked: "This month's salary has fallen, so how much is the salary gap next month?" ”

Liu Guifang flipped through the account book, calculated for a while, and then said: "There are still more than 8,300 left, the key is that there is no business in the machine tool workshop, otherwise the situation can be much better." ”

He rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "Yes, we have only taken the first step on the road of high rejuvenation, and there is still a long way to go!" ”

However, in any case, the crisis that has been hanging over the high office for a long time has finally passed for the time being. He asked Liu Guifang to find Director Mao and asked, "What business have we done in the machine tool workshop before?" Tell me about it. ”

Director Mao saw that Zhou Shuo had not been in office for a week and had actually helped him back from the position of general of the building, but he actually admired it a little in his heart. He is actually a straight temper, and if he takes it, he will obey it, and immediately replied simply: "Our machine tool workshop technology is not good, mainly because the price is cheap, because we are a school-run factory - no tax." Usually, it is to make some screws, flanges, sleeves and plugs, which are too demanding. ”

"That's ......"

Zhou Shuo thought about it, suddenly picked up a pen and paper and drew a picture, pointed to it and said, "Look, can we make this thing?" ”

Director Mao looked down for a long time and asked suspiciously, "What does this thing do?" Hiss – here is the hydraulic rod? This thing can't be done, we don't have the welding machine and cutting equipment it needs, and it will cost a lot of money to buy it. ”

"It's a chair with adjustable heights, what if you change it to a screw here?" Zhou Shuo made a change on the paper and replaced the hydraulic rod with a screw. What he drew to Director Mao was the chassis of the computer chair in later generations, and he didn't know much about machining, but at least he remembered the computer chair that he used to sit in in his early years.

The design of this computer chair is very simple, although without the hydraulic lever, the comfort of the computer chair is much reduced. But at least it ensures freedom of steering and movement, which is also very useful when working at work. This kind of design can't be said to be absent in 94 years, at least it's relatively advanced.

Director Mao nodded and said: "That's pretty much it, but the pliers, turns, planers and grinders in our machine tool workshop are all old equipment, and they are definitely not as good as special equipment." ”

Zhou Shuo waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's okay, you make a set of samples first, and then let's go to the steel and wood furniture factory to see if they think this thing has a future." ”

He doesn't want the machine shop to make much profit, as long as it doesn't lag behind. Zhou Shuo's goal now is to maintain a good momentum of rising position, before that, everyone can not be idle, to keep the start of work, and wait for Liu Gang's product development to do something.

As soon as Director Mao heard that Zhou Shuo was going to the steel and wood furniture factory, he immediately exploded: "Steel and wood furniture factory? Don't go, don't go, aren't we bitter enough for these bastards to pit last time, I won't deal with them anymore! ”

Zhou Shuo sighed, this Director Mao is a little rough, if you don't go to promote products, you won't go.

So he nodded and agreed, "Okay, if you don't go to me, you just hurry up and make things." ”

Probably Director Mao also felt that his temper was a little inauthentic, but his enthusiasm for work came up a lot, so he didn't say a word, grabbed the sketch and stood up and left.

In the afternoon, Director Mao really lived up to his high expectations and made a set of computer chair bases that were adjusted with screws. happily pushed it in front of Zhou Shuo to show his merits.

"Principal Zhou, how is it? Look at our old Mao's craftsmanship! Director Mao turned the base around on the ground to demonstrate its performance, which made people look really good.

"Well, that's good! Very successful! "As long as he does a really good job, Zhou Shuo never hesitates to praise him.

Just when the two were discussing with great interest, a scream suddenly came from outside Zhou Shuo's office.

"I protest! I protest! You're geographically discriminatory—"
