First of all, he was looking for a place to rent a house, as a place to open a restaurant, and Huazhi had already found a place and negotiated the conditions with the owner. After settling down with the landlord and paying a certain deposit, Huazhi began to decorate, buy equipment, tables and chairs, etc., and then register with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and apply for a business license. These have to be run by Huazhi herself, one of the sisters is a chef, and the other two are waiters, who makes Huazhi the boss!

A series of procedures were completed quickly, and the government's administrative efficiency was surprisingly high, and the attitude was surprisingly good. I heard that this was not the case before, and it took less than a month to get a business license, and the middle and lower-level staff in various departments procrastinated and had a very bad attitude.

This attitude was eventually corrected, with strict disciplinary regulations, secret reporting boxes, and regular inspections by the disciplinary department. If you are found twice, you will be fired, and if you are reported twice and confirmed, you will also be fired. The new regulations have made everyone realize that there is no iron job as a civil servant, and the discipline rules and performance appraisal system have made civil servants work as hard as clockwork.

It can be seen that human beings are passive animals, and it is much more effective to whip them than to expect them to change on their own initiative, and critics have even published commentators' articles in newspapers through this incident, and extended their thinking to the policy of governing the country - what are the advantages of Legalism compared with Confucianism!

As for the middle and senior levels of civil servants, China is world-renowned for its clean government, and even those who are hostile to China will be full of praise for China's achievements in clean government. With high salaries and strict supervision, and the ubiquitous discipline inspection plainclothes, no one knows whether there is an eyeliner of the discipline inspection department in the department. The fight against corruption has been a battle, and there have been few reports of corruption within the Chinese government.

Soon after the renovation, the small restaurant opened and became known as the Sister Restaurant. Home cooking, environmental hygiene, make the sister restaurant business, workers in the factory area will come to rub a meal because of the low price. The first month's income is accounted for. The net profit actually reached 450 Chinese dollars, basically recovering the cost!

Huazhi was born to do business, and her sister restaurants had a first-mover advantage, when there were not many restaurants in the factory area, and there were only two small shops on the five commercial streets surrounding the factory area. In the third month, Hanazhi decided to expand the reproduction and take down the bread from the shop next door. After the expansion of the space, the rent and contracting cost were less than 150 Chinese yuan per month, and the effect of the store expansion made Hua Zhi overjoyed - the net profit of the month reached 800 Chinese yuan!

By the end of 1909, Hua Zhi was already a small proprietor with three restaurants, and his monthly net income reached 2,500 yuan, which was comparable to the monthly profit of the smallest factory in the industrial zone. Hua Zhi, who was famous, then used his hotel business to borrow 50,000 Chinese yuan from a bank to open a store in the most prosperous area of the city center, and eventually became the most famous hotel tycoon in Luoyang.

On the other side, Huazhi's husband Xia Lu went to work in the factory after Manchu left. His Qifeng Parts Processing Factory is a private company that specializes in the production of mechanical parts for the Luoyang Tractor Factory. As a heavy industry city, Luoyang has gathered several large state-owned heavy industry enterprises such as Luoyang Tractor Factory, Luoyang Heavy Machinery Factory, and Luoyang Aircraft Factory, and there are as many as 1,000 supporting private enterprises.

Most of these private enterprises were invested by southern capital, and a small half were invested and built by local landlords and businessmen, and the owner of the Qifeng Parts Factory was a big landlord near Luoyang at the beginning, inheriting the characteristics of the landlord slamming the door, and pressing the wages of the workers in the factory to the minimum wage standard. Refusing to go up at all. Workers are often asked to work overtime, at night, on weekends, holidays, and so on. Working more than 12 hours a day, there is no overtime pay, and even the workers have to pay for their own meals.

The business of the processing plant is very good, thanks to the ultra-high speed of economic development in the north, the demand for tractors in various places has increased geometrically, which makes the processing plant earn quite a lot. However, no matter how much money is made, it is the boss's, and the workers do not enjoy the benefits of good business.

Changing into work clothes in the narrow locker room, Xia Lu walked to the processing workshop while chatting with his co-workers, and groups of workers exchanged information while walking.

"Xia Lu, I think you are not as good as your wife. I heard that her business on the commercial street is good, and she can earn 100 yuan a month! "Xia Lu's wife is good-looking and shrewd, so she naturally attracts attention. In contrast, Xia Lu is much more silent, and in current terms, his sense of existence is very poor.

"Almost." Xia Lu didn't hide it, this kind of thing can be guessed as long as someone has a heart to observe, and deliberately concealing it seems to be angry. Chinese people have this kind of problem, when chatting, they start with "have you eaten", and then what business you do, how much money you make a month, where your children go to school, whether you are married, and who you are with. Then compare it with himself, as long as he is better than himself, he can't stand it, as long as he is not as good as himself, he will talk about his own family.

These are all good for privacy! Why is it so open? Some people will ask you where you work, then comment on it for hours and give you advice as a saint to force you to agree with him. I XXX! Mind your own business!

The worker next to him was a talkative person: "Damn! Lao Tzu really wants to resign directly, a few dozen yuan a month, it's not as much as a girl. You are a fourth-level worker, only 35 yuan a month, I am a third-level worker less, I heard that the tractor factory next to it even has an income of 50 yuan a month for cleaning, and there are more skilled workers! ”

"People are state-owned enterprises, of course, the wages are high, but it is difficult to get in, and I haven't heard of those factories recruiting workers, so I can only work here first. Not only us, but most of the thousands of small and medium-sized factories in Luoyang are in this situation, with less wages, fewer holidays, and high intensity. Xia Lu is a good old man and comforted his co-workers.

The actual situation is similar to what Xia Lu said, except for the higher wages of state-owned enterprises, the wage level of private enterprises is very low, and it is not symmetrical with the income level of the whole society. However, job opportunities are not easy to come by, and most of the workers have mastered a skill, and there are still a few who are willing to quit and earn another living.

In the workshop, the workers strangely did not stay at their posts according to the working hours, but gathered around and talked in a low voice, and they all showed strange looks on their faces.

Xia Lu and his co-workers walked to the group of acquaintances, only to hear someone inside: "Let's do this!" Mr. Chen Zhongpu said well that the working class is the most advanced class and the actual creator of social wealth, and under the cruel exploitation of the bourgeoisie, it should take the initiative to stand up and fight for its rights. ”

"Yes, we must use the hammer of the proletariat to break the iron chains of the bourgeoisie around us, abolish private property, overthrow the rule of the bourgeoisie, and violently overthrow the entire existing capitalist system!"

"What the proletarians have lost in this revolution is only chains, we will gain the whole world, the proletarians of the whole world, unite!"

In the end, everyone shouted slogans, and most of the workers were said in their hearts, and the grievances and injustices they had suffered before burst out at this moment. They even think that the big bosses are their class enemies, and they want to smash the brutal bourgeoisie with the hammer of the workers!

Xia Lu listened to the creepiness, he also wanted to change the current situation, he also wanted to increase wages and rest time, and also wanted to improve the working environment, but it was by no means like they said. This is not a struggle for rights at all, but a revolution, a fight against the government!

"Xia Lu, do you want to join this union? I heard that as long as you join in, there will be an organization, and we can fight for the rights of unscrupulous bosses through the union! The co-worker with a happy face came over to Xia Lu and asked, Xia Lu's timid and fearful personality made Xia Lu not agree on the spot, but he was despised by the co-workers.

The farce in the morning was not over until the boss walked in, and the whole day's work was absent-minded, and the quality inspector found that today's failure rate reached five percent, which made the unresponsive boss lose his temper and asked the workshop to work overtime until the work task was completed.

The workshop director and several bosses' doglegs were deliberately concealed by the workers, and still no abnormalities were found, and after three shifts, someone suggested that Xia Lu go to a place to listen to Mr. Chen's speech, but Xia Lu refused.

Compared to that Mr. Chen is the so-called Chen Zhongpu, the riot of the workers is likely to be organized by Chen Zhongpu, how can he have so much energy to make all the workers crazy for him?

In fact, the scene can be called crazy, in the courtyard of Nuoda, thousands of people are crowded together, regardless of the summer heat, their eyes are full of enthusiasm to look at the impassioned Chen Zhongpu standing on the table. His every word went to the hearts of the workers, and his speeches stirred up the emotions of the workers, who shouted to break the chains of capitalism with violence.

The unscrupulous boss is slow to react, but the agents of the Investigation Bureau and the spies of the Discipline Inspection Department are very sensitive to this, and among the workers are the spies hired by the Investigation Bureau, who report everything that happens here. (To be continued.) )
