Chapter 102: A Helpless Ending
"Brother Wang, this is what I gave you." Lin Yizhong took off his schoolbag and handed it to Wang Weidong.
Wang Weidong took the heavy schoolbag in wonder and saw that there were four melons inside.
"Why did you remember to give me a melon? When I went into the public toilet in the summer, I didn't dare to bow my head, and as soon as I looked down, I saw that it was either a bud of rice or a melon seed. Come in and sit for a while. Wang Weidong said.
Lin Yizhong walked into the factory gate, Wang Weidong plugged the door from the inside and then took Lin Yizhong into the office.
"Brother Wang, thank you for not letting me watch the video last night, the students who went to watch the video were all taken to the police station last night. If I am also taken to the police station, I will have no face to live, and how can I tell my parents when I go home after being punished by the school. Lin Yizhong said with gratitude and palpitations.
"I see, don't thank me, I just don't think your research method is right." Wang Weidong replied modestly.
"Brother Wang, how did you know that something was going to happen last night?" Lin Yizhong asked.
"How would I know! It's just that I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? Be careful not to go to that kind of place, at least not at night! It's okay to look at Chenglong Lin Zhengying Zhou Runfa, don't look at Cao Chali! Wang Weidong warned with a smile.
"When I went back to the dormitory this morning, I found out that there was an accident last night, and the two classmates in the dormitory seemed to be disappointed to know that I didn't have an accident, as if they were expecting me to have an accident!" Lin Yizhong said angrily.
"There are two kinds of happiness, one is that you live well, and the other is that others are unlucky, this is human nature! Brother, I congratulate you, you are starting to mature. Wang Weidong said.
"I want to thank you no matter what, if I hadn't met you last night, I would be ...... now," Lin Yizhong couldn't go on.
As a college student who came out of the countryside in the 80s, Lin Yizhong didn't go through anything at all, and even went to the door of the police station once when he was admitted to the university to handle the transfer of household registration, and he was in awe when he saw the person wearing the big hat.
In addition, in the 80s, the punishment for college students who made such mistakes was very severe, and Lin Yizhong simply could not afford it.
After ten years of hard study, crossing the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination and becoming the pride of the sky, it is not worth ruining your life because of a momentary mistake.
"Today you go back and help me find a few more students, from the day after tomorrow we will work overtime to produce radios, maybe a month! This month, each of you can earn at least 200 yuan! Wang Weidong said.
Knowing that the factory was about to be transferred, the next day the workers' enthusiasm for work disappeared, and they were all grinding foreign workers there. But the people came very together, for fear of missing the opportunity to receive 2,000 yuan.
Of course, the vast majority of people are scolding Ou Xiaoyang and Wang Weidong as bastards, private enterprises are mercenary, and state-owned enterprises will not be disbanded to let workers go home.
This situation was still new in the eighties, and the laws that could be referred to were not complete, but according to the law of dozens of years, a one-time payment of nearly a year's salary, Ou Xiaoyang, Wang Weidong, and what they did was not excessive.
Ou Xiaoyang came to the factory after lunch, and when he walked in, the eyes of the workers were cast on him.
Ou Xiaoyang walked through the workshop and into the office.
Closing the door, Ou Xiaoyang sat opposite Wang Weidong and said: "Weidong, I was taught a lesson by the old man again, he didn't let me dismiss the workers, and gave so much money that it would have a bad impact, and the old man said that it was best not to let these people enter the society and resettle them in work." ”
Self-reliance is a buzzword in this era, and a large number of workers in the former service and other industries have been pushed into society to become self-employed, and they do not receive severance pay like the workers in the radio factory, and they still receive so much.
It's like going to a classmate's wedding, where other classmates take ten dollars, but you get one hundred or even five hundred, which is not good, very bad, and is likely to have serious consequences.
"People like your father think about influence every day! Didn't you tell him that it was because Xiangyang Chemical Factory didn't agree to take over the workers? Wang Weidong said helplessly.
Of course I did, but the old man still didn't agree! In fact, he is also for my good, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong. Ou Xiaoyang said distressedly.
"What should I do, Weidong?" Ou Xiaoyang looked at Wang Weidong with blank eyes.
"Okay, just find them another job, and after a while, you will go out and tell those workers that you can arrange another job for them, and after we have dealt with the radio payment, we will rent a few houses of about 100 square meters in the city to open a small store, and we will supply them uniformly, and they will run them. In the future, if the income is good, you can transfer the small store to them. Wang Weidong said.
"It's a good idea, when the money is spent, contact the store to supply and I can find someone to supply, ensure that it is cheap, they will definitely make money!" Ou Xiaoyang said.
"It's good to be willing to stay, which shows that the two of us have been good to the workers in the past two years, and some people still remember that the free lunch is not in vain, and it also shows that they trust us. In September we went to look for a house and paid them before we found it! Wang Weidong replied.
"Weidong, it's better for you to announce this matter to the workers." Ou Xiaoyang said.
Ten minutes later, Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang walked out of the office, and the eyes of more than twenty people were focused on the two of them.
"Everyone should know that our factory is about to be transferred to Xiangyang Chemical Factory, in fact, Xiaoyang and I are also very reluctant, there is really no way, the pressure is too great. Originally, it was said that Xiangyang Chemical Factory would accept all the workers, but in the end they regretted it again! Wang Weidong said angrily.
"I originally wanted to send 1,000 yuan to each worker, but Wei Dong and I have really had feelings for everyone for so long, and I felt that I couldn't go after thinking about it, and finally the two of us decided to send 2,000 yuan each, that is, to take out the pockets of the two of us, this money will not be less!" Wang Weidong raised his voice and said.
Wang Weidong observed that when he said that he was going to give out a thousand yuan, almost all of them had joy in their eyes. With these two thousand yuan, they will have at least one or two years without worrying about food and clothing.
"Of course, there may still be people who are unwilling to leave the factory, these comrades can come to me to sign up to stay, Xiaoyang and I decided that August is too busy, in September we will go out to find a house and open a few small stores by us to supply you yourself, two thousand yuan will always be spent, this is the long-term solution, and the store will be transferred to you after doing a good job! There are two choices, one is to receive 2,000 yuan to sign a declaration of giving up work, and the other is to stay and work, of course, if you stay to work, you will not be able to receive money. Wang Weidong continued.
"Think about it for yourselves, what will happen when the money runs out in a year or two? Setting up a street stall to repair shoes and bikes? Is it better to have minus twenty or thirty degrees in winter? In the long run, I think it's better for you to stay and run a small store, and you have to walk the road under your feet, so you must figure it out! Wang Weidong finally persuaded.
The two returned to the office, and it didn't take long for the workers to come in one by one to sign up for money and give up their work, and the whole process was over in an hour. None of the workers who want to stay in their jobs choose to take the money and leave!
"Go to the factory to get the money in three days, it's best to come with your family and pay attention to safety!" Wang Weidong reluctantly admonished.
After the workers were gone, the whole factory was empty.
"There are thirty or forty fewer radios, and I feel very uncomfortable watching those workers on crutches creaking out with radios under them, and I pretended not to see anything just now." Wang Weidong sighed and said.
"No worker wants to stay and take the money, and the old man should scold me again when he goes home." Ou Xiaoyang said helplessly.
"Two thousand yuan can be put into your pocket with your hand, no one wants to take risks with us, you may think that we are worried about money to fool them!" Wang Weidong said.
