From the moment she saw Zhong Bai's two hands on the typewriter keyboard in a decent manner, Chu Juan just felt that this starting style was very standard, exactly the same as the posture on the textbook, but the moment the typing sound sounded, Chu Juan almost didn't scream!

With a pinyin input speed of 80 Chinese characters per minute, even with the current keyboard fingering, Zhong Bai's speed can only be regarded as moderate.

But in the early 80s, this speed was unimaginable to Chu Juan!

Back then, typewriter fingering was still the preserve of typists, and the average person had never even seen a typewriter, let alone fingering.

Even Chu Juan's secondary school teacher uses "two-finger Zen", and it is fast to be able to type 20 words a minute.

But seeing that Zhong Bai in front of him used a speed that exceeded the speed of the typist of the Confidential Bureau, and in less than an hour, he finished typing this sprinkling speech material, Chu Juan opened her mouth wide and was speechless.

When Zhong Bai handed her a printed manuscript, Chu Juan came back to her senses.

"It's done, I haven't typed for a long time, and my fingers are a little rusty, otherwise I can save another 10 minutes, you can take it and copy it."

Chu Juan took the manuscript, but she didn't know how she brought it to Huang Xingzhi, the director of the office.

"Director Huang, he ...... He's got it, please proofread it. ”

This kind of overtime, Huang Xingzhi originally thought that he would stay in the office until ten o'clock in the evening before leaving, and at that time he would be able to catch up with Director Chu to come back after drinking, which was "just right" so that he could see his "hard work" of working overtime for the unit.

I didn't expect that it was less than an hour after the manuscript was brought back, and I didn't even finish the two taels of liquor that Luo Sheng called, so I got it ready?

Huang Xingzhi immediately took the printed materials and proofread them carefully with the original manuscript.

The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, Zhong Bai, this kid, really got it in an hour, word for word!

"How did this kid do that?" Huang Xingzhi couldn't help but gasp and asked.

"I've been sitting next to him and watching, like the secretary of the Confidential Bureau, huh...... Even a little faster. Chu Juan was already a little admired Zhong Bai at this time, and immediately explained.

"This kid...... It's a talent! Huang Xingzhi reacted at this time, the other party came to the factory on the first day to report that the department had not yet been decided, and he immediately couldn't sit still, thinking that there would be a meeting in the factory tomorrow, and he must find a way to get this kid to the office.

So Huang Xingzhi waved his hand a little excitedly and said, "Juanzi, call Zhong Bai over!" ”

Chu Juan immediately brought Zhong Bai from the printing room next door, and at this time, Luo Sheng also came back from the cafeteria.

Huang Xingzhi took the speech material that had just been printed out in his hand, and raised it in the air with some excitement: "Xiao Luo, you immediately make a copy of 500 copies, and then send it to Section Chief Liao immediately." ”

"Okay." Luo Sheng took the materials and was about to leave, when he hesitated and turned around and asked, "Director Huang, what do you say about the overtime food today?" I just told the cafeteria that I would do it at 10 o'clock in the evening, and it's only 8 o'clock ......."

"You say hello to the cafeteria again, get a table at nine o'clock, and you will come back at that time." Huang Xingzhi waved his hand and said, "Go quickly." ”

"Zhong Bai, you are doing well today, eat more later." Huang Xingzhi's tone was much kinder than at the beginning, and he patted him on the shoulder: "I'll go back first, and I'll see you in the canteen later." ”

After speaking, Huang Xingzhi also left the office.

Taking advantage of the more than an hour of waiting, Chu Juan began to chat with Zhong Bai enthusiastically, which was completely different from the cold noodles at the time of meeting.

"Didn't you graduate from a chemical engineering school? Why is typing so bad? ”

"That's all learned in the spare time."

"I see that Director Huang is very satisfied with you, maybe you will be assigned to the office as a typist, let me tell you, typists are very popular these years......

"Office? I'm not interested. Zhong Bai shook his head: "I majored in chemical engineering, and of course the position should be related to the major." ”

What are you kidding, the goal of your own rebirth is to revive the industry of the republic, of course, you have to take the professional route, to work as a typist in the office of a county fertilizer plant?

This is not his Zhongbai life choice.

"What? You still don't want to? Chu Juan was a little surprised, and immediately persuaded: "The office is a good department in our factory, with great power, and there are many people who have contact with all aspects, and it can also deal with various departments in the county." Could it be that you really want to go to the production department and the technical department, every day and in the front-line workshop? The wage subsidy is not as high as that of the office! ”

Wage subsidy?

Hearing Chu Juan say this, Zhong Bai asked casually: "How much salary can workers get when they just enter the factory?" ”

"You're asking the right person." Chu Juan snapped her fingers and began to introduce: "Every month, the first-level worker is 25 yuan, the second-level worker is 32 yuan, the third-level worker is 40 yuan, and the fourth-level worker is 50 yuan...... The highest eighth-level worker, generally just entered the factory are set as a first-class worker, the internship period is half a year, and there will be a bonus after half a year, but ......"

"But what?"

"But this year, it seems that not a penny of bonuses has been paid, and the first-level workers used to be given 10 yuan every month."

"Why?"

"It seems that there is a problem with the quality of fertilizer in the second half of the year, and sales are not good...... I've heard that, too. Chu Juan's voice slowly became smaller here.

Well, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and when he heard that the first-level worker only had a salary of 22 yuan per month, Zhong Bai's heart was a little cold.

In fact, Zhong Bai has heard of the wages of workers in this era.

He once read a document on the wages of state-owned enterprises in heavy industries in coastal areas, which recorded the structure of wages for workers in a heavy machinery factory in an economically developed coastal province in 1982.

It was normal in those days and ages to divide the skill level of workers according to their level and pay them different amounts.

However, the monthly salary of the first-level workers of the heavy machinery factory is 31 yuan, which is 6 yuan higher than the monthly salary of the first-level workers of the Shanping County Fertilizer Factory of 25 yuan, almost 15% ahead!

Of course, this is due to regional differences, and the fertilizer plant in Shanping County is only a collective enterprise, so it is normal to have this gap.

25 yuan, what can you do in 2019?

It is estimated that the cheapest takeaway will be gone, but in this era, it is a month's salary for a first-class worker in a county fertilizer factory!

Zhong Bai, who has experienced a life, knows very well that money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible.

Whether it is at the individual level or at the national industrial level, money is an unavoidable topic.

Especially in the process of developing industry, it is necessary to invest a lot of money, and in the history of the last century, the country did not spend less money when introducing foreign-funded technology and equipment.

Especially when the domestic industry was not yet developed, the country had to buy equipment from RB and MD and Europe at a high cost to maintain production.

And these foreign exchange are all earned by the hard work of the working people!

Think about the two meat buns that I ate in the station restaurant after getting off the train, only a dime a piece, I don't know how many to sell, and only introduced the first modern million-ton fertilizer production line from RB back then?

Thinking of this, Zhong Bai couldn't help but sigh a little.

If you want to do something in this era, whether it is yourself or the country, you need to speed up the speed of making money.

"Well, you don't want to go into the workshop now, do you?" Chu Juan saw that Zhong Bai was a little distracted, and thought that he was ready to give up after hearing this treatment: "Our office belongs to administrative staff, and the salary is not set according to the type of work, it is 25 yuan for a month after taking up the job, and there are many other benefits......

Zhong Baileng paused: "Other benefits? ”

"That's right, the office ushers in the delivery, and is responsible for the reception, there are a lot of these benefits, you see Director Huang's big cabinet is not, there are still a lot of cigarettes and alcohol in it, and sometimes the surplus will be sent to the office internal staff as additional benefits."

Chu Juan pointed to the big wooden cabinet over there and said with a smile: "There are others." An overtime meal like today's would have been deducted from the overtime pay, but if you perform so well, it is estimated that Director Huang must have used office funds, and the remaining few will be distributed to everyone, and you can get an extra 1 yuan! ”

Hearing that this is not an unspoken rule of the rules, Zhong Bai still doesn't understand what this so-called other benefits are about?

Seeing Chu Juan's triumphant appearance, Zhong Bai couldn't cry or laugh a little, how could he seem to be a guest typist today for the extra 1 yuan of overtime pay?
