102 If you want to fly, you have to have a unit and then money
Early the next morning, Cao Zhiqiang dressed neatly early and went to work in Hongguang Machinery Factory in good spirits.
Originally, today, he didn't have to go to the factory to work, or rather, he shouldn't have gone to the factory to work.
Because as mentioned earlier, the Hongguang World Magazine Department of Hongguang Machinery Factory, The situation is relatively special, Cao Zhiqiang, as the new editor, theoretically has to wait for the old man to finish a shift, everyone gets together again and has a new class, and the chaos will disrupt the order, and everyone is not satisfied.
Of course, Cao Zhiqiang can also insist on going to work every day, this is his right, and it is said that it should be.
But if he really wanted to do that, he would break the balance and rules.
Everyone only gets together to work at the end of the month, and it is already an unspoken rule that everyone takes turns on duty to mix up the days.
You are a newcomer, you go to the office every day to be on duty, so diligent and competent, what do you think about the original old man, and what do you think about the leaders who are used to these rules?
In case the leader thinks that the new people, new things and new style, let everyone learn from Cao Zhiqiang and come to work every day, then how to rectify it?
Even if you sit in the office, you don't have much to do, that's a kind of limitation, and it's not as comfortable as being at home.
This kind of behavior is obviously breaking the rules and destroying the collective.
Therefore, for the sake of collective harmony, before the new duty schedule was discharged, Sister Niu had already warned Cao Zhiqiang that he would not have to go to work within three days, before the end of the previous round of duty.
To be more precise, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't go to work to respect everyone, and everyone will respect him, but if he goes to work every day, he is looking for trouble, and when the time comes, don't blame everyone for not being humane.
Sister Niu's words have all been said about that, if Cao Zhiqiang still goes to work every day, it will not give face to his predecessors.
Although Cao Zhiqiang is a newcomer and very young, he also understands the principle of following the local customs.
In fact, he went to work in the factory early this morning, not to sit in the office of the magazine department and sit opposite the old money on duty today.
He didn't enter his office at all, but went directly to the head of the Propaganda Section, Section Chief Sun.
The reason is that he wants to ask for leave, and by the way, he asked Section Chief Sun to open a letter of introduction to buy a plane ticket, so that he can buy a plane ticket so that he can take his sister and brother-in-law back for treatment.
Cao Zhiqiang already had this plan to take his sister back, but there have been too many things recently, and he didn't have time to deal with this stubble for a while.
But now that I have a letter from my sister, especially my brother-in-law's medical records, it's time to move forward.
It's not hard to take a leave of absence.
In fact, Section Chief Sun also said that you don't need to ask for leave at all, after all, according to the situation of your department, it is better to ask for leave than not to ask for leave, because there is no difference between going to work and taking off-duty.
Theoretically, Cao Zhiqiang only needs to say hello to Sister Niu and explain the situation, and he doesn't need to ask for leave or not go to work all day.
On the contrary, if you ask for leave seriously, you have to deduct your salary, which is not cost-effective.
But the problem is that Cao Zhiqiang is going to Guiyang, and he also needs a letter of introduction from the unit for a plane ticket, so he can buy a plane ticket, which needs to go through normal procedures.
Section Chief Sun is also a good man, he directly told Cao Zhiqiang that if he buys a train ticket, it is easy for him to issue a letter of introduction here, but if he buys a plane ticket, he can't open this letter of introduction, and he doesn't have a letter of introduction for a plane ticket, so he has to find the factory director.
Because the letter of introduction for train tickets and the letter of introduction for plane tickets are different, and the names are different.
A letter of introduction for buying a plane ticket is only available to the factory director.
So, Cao Zhiqiang went to Director Li again to explain his situation.
Director Li attaches great importance to it, after all, Cao Zhiqiang is now a key figure of the factory leaders.
After listening to Cao Zhiqiang's appeal, Factory Manager Li wrote a letter of introduction to Cao Zhiqiang to buy a plane ticket from Beiping to Guiyang with a stroke of his pen.
But the problem is that Director Li can only open a one-way plane ticket from Beiping to Guiyang, but the plane ticket back will not work, and it must be a local unit in Guiyang to issue a letter of introduction.
And Cao Zhiqiang's meaning is that he wants to bring his sister and brother-in-law to Peking for treatment, and the best way is to take a plane.
However, this is a private matter and cannot be written publicly, even if it is an operation.
After all, during this period, taking a plane was not completely liberalized, or following the old set of rules, most of them were mainly on business trips, and buying a plane ticket required a work certificate and a letter of introduction from the unit, without these two things, you can't buy a plane ticket.
For example, self-employed, even if they have money, but because they don't have a job unit and a letter of introduction, you can't buy a plane ticket, unless you are looking for a unit to be affiliated with, but the self-employed now have to buy a plane ticket by looking for a unit to sponsor, which is basically difficult to climb to the sky.
Because the letter of introduction must be signed and sealed by the leader, which is itself a kind of leadership guarantee, and few leaders of today's state-owned enterprises are willing to take this responsibility for the self-employed.
Actually, it is not difficult to get a return ticket, and there are many ways. Gu Rong
Director Li's method, which is the most common method, is to write a letter of introduction to the factory of a local brother factory in Guiyang, who is also a friend with whom he once had dinner.
In this letter of introduction, there is no need to say any more reasons, only to explain that Comrade Cao Zhiqiang, an employee of our factory, will go to your place on a business trip in the near future, and when he returns to Beijing, he hopes that your factory will open a few letters of introduction for buying plane tickets.
It is enough to have this letter of introduction, and there is no need to specify what you want to do, which is a rule among factory leaders.
It's like the factory in Guiyang, if you want the factory here to send a letter of introduction, send someone over to ask for a plane ticket letter of introduction, this side will not refuse.
In short, with these two letters of introduction, Cao Zhiqiang can buy plane tickets with confidence and boldness.
Of course, the money for buying a plane ticket, the unit must not pay for it, you have to pay for it yourself, after all, you are not really on a business trip.
This is actually enough, after all, Cao Zhiqiang is not bad for money, just short of a letter of introduction to buy a plane ticket.
In fact, many self-employed people can buy a take-off ticket and are willing to take a plane to try the general feeling of flying, but these self-employed people who can buy a take-off ticket and are willing to take a plane are not eligible to buy a plane ticket.
As for many cadres and employees of the units who can get a letter of introduction to buy a plane ticket, most of them are paid to death, and they don't have much money in their hands, and most of them are reluctant to buy plane tickets, unless the unit really reimburses the expenses, but this kind of reimbursement of air tickets is rare.
Therefore, this has formed a dilemma, and this dilemma is also the fundamental reason why throughout the 70s and early 80s, the seat rate of China's civil aviation industry was particularly low, and the entire civil aviation industry was sluggish.
In the mid-to-late eighties, the reform continued to deepen, especially the emergence of the first generation of ID cards, many ordinary people to buy air tickets have relaxed restrictions, no longer mandatory work certificate and unit letter of introduction, the situation has fundamentally improved, the domestic civil aviation industry ushered in spring.
From this point of view, taking a plane in this period is really not just about having money.
In short, after getting the letter of introduction and the work certificate, Cao Zhiqiang did not waste time, immediately left the factory, took a taxi without distress, and went straight to the capital airport.
Originally, he thought that it would be difficult to buy a ticket at this time, and he would have to queue up like buying a train ticket, and he might even have to buy a scalper ticket.
As a result, I found that there was basically no one at the ticket purchase point, and he could buy tickets immediately as soon as he went, and there were all the first class in the economy class.
I asked the conductor to find out that in these years, there are very few people who buy plane tickets and take planes.
In addition to the work certificate and letter of introduction required to buy a plane ticket, the most critical factor is that the plane ticket is too expensive, and everyone is generally reluctant to buy it.
At this time, a plane ticket from Peking to Shanghai, the economy class needs 65 yuan, and there is no discount, which is basically the income of an ordinary worker for two months, and ordinary people are not willing to buy it at all.
As for the ticket from Peking to Guiyang, the price is more expensive, the first-class ticket costs 180 yuan, and the economy class also costs 150 yuan!
This kind of price is indeed not affordable for ordinary people.
If you think about it, it takes more than two months of income to buy a plane ticket and take a plane, which is really reluctant for most people.
With that money, isn't it fragrant to buy an electronic watch or a cassette recorder?
Of course, this price is not a problem for Cao Zhiqiang, so he decisively booked a recent first-class ticket.
Nowadays there are very few flights, especially long-haul flights.
The most recent flight from Peking to Guiyang had to be early the day after tomorrow, so I couldn't take a plane today.
But it's also much faster than sending a letter.
You know, although there are also air letters in China, but because of cost, technology and other reasons, air letters are not sent every day, but accumulate for two or three days or even three or five days, and when the number of envelopes accumulated is about the same, it will be shipped by plane at one time, so the speed of air mail is not much.
Therefore, even if Cao Zhiqiang mailed an air letter to his sister early this morning, and then waited for Cao Zhiqiang to fly to his sister's house the day after tomorrow, it is estimated that the air letter he wrote would still be left in the capital and not shipped.
In addition, in the eighties, I took a plane and crossed the mountains to see my sister, which gave him a big surprise, and it was exciting to think about it.
It's a tourist.
After buying the plane ticket, he found that it was still very early, so Cao Zhiqiang planned to go to the publishing house and settle the remuneration with the publishing house.
After all, Cao Zhiqiang has been spending a lot of money recently, and now he doesn't have much money on hand.
The liquid cash he can use now is only more than 10,000 yuan in total, and he is really a little panicked when he has such a small amount of money.
As for the 10,000-yuan household, in Cao Zhiqiang's heart, it is synonymous with the poor.
It's better to ask the publisher for money as soon as possible.
