Twenty years ago, White Cedar graduated from university. I didn't pay much attention to the college entrance examination at the beginning, just to get a diploma. Bai Xuesong didn't have much interest in studying, so his grades were not too good, and it was basically useless to be admitted to a good school, so he chose the best major to learn, and he mixed up with learning in the past four years. One thing that is also not interesting to him is going to work.

According to Bai Xuesong's father's idea, after graduating from college, he should enter a state-owned enterprise, work in a down-to-earth manner, and live a down-to-earth life, which was the common wish of the older generation at that time. But Bai Xuesong's thoughts are very different from his father's, and he has always wanted to do something on his own. When he was in college, he began to get in touch with the society, at that time, it was just in the early stage of the reform, the society was full of business, Bai Xuesong met a lot of small business people, and he studied economics, so he always wanted to do his own business one day. But when Bai Cedar graduated, there was no other way, no other choice, but to find a place to work first. He deliberately rejected the school's job arrangement, because if he obeyed the school's assignment, it would be no different from his father's arrangement, and he deliberately denied all the school's work to let his father know that he could not find a suitable job, so that he could achieve his goal of going out.

Bai Xuesong's idea to do something on his own originated from an internship in his fourth year of college. At that time, it was not long before graduation, and there were two directions for internship, one was the enterprise arranged by the school, and the other was the unit that could be found by yourself. One of Bai Xuesong's classmates knew a private company, and it happened that some social investigation work needed to be done, and the key was to be able to give a little money, so Bai Xuesong chose to go to this private company. The company is very small, there are only seven or eight people in total, but because it is opened by an individual, and the boss and the brother of the classmate are still friends who grew up together, so their internship is completely different from the company selected by the school, which is very free, and can do the most practical work, which is more conducive to contact with the society, and the insignificant subsidy is of course equally attractive. After a few months of internship, Bai Xuesong felt that the biggest gain was not freedom and money, but another more important thing, which strengthened his desire to do things on his own after graduation. The owner of that small company has a certain social relationship and a prosperous business, and they intern there every day to eat and drink with the boss, interact with all kinds of people, and contact all kinds of business. Bai Xuesong felt that this kind of work and life was exactly what he wanted.

In Bai Xuesong's mind, although the small company he interned in was not as formal and crowded as those large enterprises, it had its own hot land, could do what he liked, and his daily life was also free, and of course he would make much more money than in a state-owned enterprise. Whether it is from reality or ideals, from work status to personal feelings, it is another world, which brings him infinite temptation. After sixteen years of school life, although Bai Xuesong is not an outstanding student, he is also an obedient child, and the more he does this, the more depression he experiences. In addition, he saw that his parents had worked in a state-owned factory all their lives, like a silent little ant, working hard, and he didn't want to follow in their footsteps and wanted to change his life in the future.

But I didn't expect his father to finally throw out the killer feature, even if he is an honest old man who has been friends all his life, he will always know some people who are in charge of something. The old man has a good face all his life and does not ask for help, but this time he bowed his head for the sake of his son and deliberately found the director of their factory. However, their factory was only a collective-owned enterprise in the system, and there was a difference between collective ownership and state-owned enterprises at that time, whether it was a salary or a retirement benefit in the future. So, the old man asked his factory director to help Bai Xuesong find a national enterprise in the system to work. After all, the old man has worked in this factory all his life, and the factory director actually has some respect for him, but because of the old man's stubborn temper, the factory director occasionally can't get off the stage, so he stays away from him. This time, the old man had something to ask for on his head, and the factory director felt very relieved, it was a thing that he couldn't wait for, and it seemed that he had done it, which could be regarded as a comfort or a reward for the old man.

The factory director easily helped Bai Xuesong find a state-owned research institute in the system, which was not difficult for the factory director, after all, Bai Xuesong was a college student, and there were not many young college students in various enterprises at that time. Moreover, the director of the factory and the director of the research institute are also old friends, and they have a lot of business dealings with each other, and it is nothing to recruit people. There are not many people in the institute, only one or twenty, and they are mainly experts engaged in scientific research. Bai Xuesong studied economics and basically didn't have much direct relationship with the work of the research institute, so after he went, he just did some miscellaneous work and occasionally went on business trips. This research institute does not need much business, and his business trip is nothing more than to help the leader deal with some transactional work, and he has neither technical nor professional ability. And so he was here for more than two years.

But Bai Xuesong has always been a thief, he has come into contact with more people who have joined the business world, or even if they are self-employed, it is a great temptation for him, he feels that if he continues to work in this institute, it will be nothing more than a day of waste, and there is not much profit in this life.

So in those more than two years, he never went to work with peace of mind, and often did some business with people outside, such as reselling cigarettes, reselling clothes, or picking up processing work. At first, he did it secretly, but later he was discovered by the director, which is very taboo for a manager of a state-owned enterprise. And Bai Xuesong not only didn't think it was a mistake, but simply became more arrogant and blatantly did it.

At that time, there was only one live phone in the whole research institute, and there was no way for individuals to communicate, so he could only leave this phone number to those friends who did business. And the phone is kept in the director's office, so that his every move is easily detected.

He didn't care about something like this taboo, his mind was long gone. But the director took it very seriously and talked to him very seriously, and it was completely the kind of attitude that the big bullied the small and the subordinates were in charge.

Bai Xuesong was full of thoughts at that time to do something by himself, and he had no interest in the work of the institute in the first place. The director's criticism encouraged him again and again, and finally one day he couldn't bear it anymore and handed in a letter of resignation to the director. At that time, it was not easy to resign in such a state-owned enterprise, and it was necessary to report to the head office and make a decision after a strict review. After all, he didn't do anything illegal, and he wouldn't let him leave easily under normal circumstances, not to mention that he was still a college student, and he was introduced by the factory director in the system, and he had some inextricable interpersonal relationships.

But Bai Xuesong had already made up his mind to break through, so he resolutely stopped going to work without waiting for the approval of the head office.

After resigning, the first question that Bai Xuesong thought of was how to make money. It just so happened that he made some friends who were doing business in the society, and he didn't feel that he had any special identity as a college student, he could do anything, as long as he could make money. A friend gave him the idea to open a small shop. At that time, it was very popular to make clothing, and it was very easy to do, and the manufacturers had it, basically they were in the suburbs to do those foreign trade orders, and there would always be a lot of surplus products, and you could get it very cheaply, and the quality and style were not bad.

There were also many small shops selling this kind of clothing, and you could find it casually, and at that time there were several thriving small commodity streets, and Bai Cesongtuo's friend found a stall, and the remaining problem was that he needed some money.

Bai Xuesong rarely went home after quitting his job, and only stayed with friends because he was afraid to go home. His father worked so hard to find a job for him, and he lost it casually, and his father had the heart to kill him. So he could only hide outside, and when he went back, there would definitely be a fierce quarrel, and no one could stop him. But this time he encountered difficulties, he also found a few classmates or friends, trying to raise some funds, the classmates in the university are just graduates, none of them have any money, those friends who do business are doing their own things, not very rich, few can help him, he had to think of his parents.

Before confronting his father, he first told his mother what he thought, after all, his mother still loves him, and there is nothing he can do. He told his mother about the situation with reason, and his mother didn't know about these business things, nor did he know anything about entrepreneurship, but he only knew that if his son was doing well, it was a good thing.

The only thing Bai Xuesong begged his mother to do was to appease his father, never let his father behave in any extreme behavior at a critical time, of course, he also told his mother about the things he needed money, but his mother couldn't do these things at home, the key was that she couldn't hide the money from her wife to her son, in that case, she knew how angry the stubborn old man was. But if you help your son say good things, this possibility is still there, as long as the old man is not angry, the money thing is easy to handle. They have also saved a little bit of savings over the years, and originally these savings were reserved for Bai Xuesong to marry his daughter-in-law, if it is really like Bai Xuesong said that he can make money by doing business, then why not? Anyway, he has come to this point, and there is no way back.

So, the old lady persuaded her wife bitterly, and explained things clearly before and after, scaring and comforting and looking forward to the future, the old man had nothing to do, the old man knew that after Bai Xuesong resigned, he actually understood that he was powerless, he did everything he could, he helped everything he could, and the rest could only rely on this son himself.

The old man and his wife discussed how much money they could come up with, and then left some, in fact, they still had a way out, thinking that in case Bai Xuesong couldn't make money, they would have to rely on them in the future, but they couldn't say these words to Bai Xuesong. In the end, Bai Xuesong went home and had a negotiation with the old man, which was the first and only negotiation with the old man in his life.

The result of the negotiation was simple, the family gave him a small investment, enough for him to open a store, and then he didn't care about anything. The old man said very decisively, no matter how much wealth he made in the future, it had nothing to do with the family, and it had nothing to do with the family if he lost money, all the things that the family no longer cared about him, and he had been to all the days by himself, as long as he promised this, the old man could give him money.

Bai Xuesong was already panicked at that time, as long as he could get the money, he could agree to any conditions. The old man didn't force him to go to work, which was already a blessing. And to be able to get a start-up money, it is the most ideal ending for him, he doesn't want to go in the future at all, the only thing he thinks about in the future is that one day he will make a fortune, and return the money given to him by the family a lot or even double the family, and then he can face his parents with confidence.
