Chapter 407: Back Hand
Happy times always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it's time to go back after the New Year.
Chen Jiwu wanted to rush back to the army immediately, his daughter-in-law Wu Rina is a teacher, and now she is still far away from school, so she could have stayed here for a few more days, but Wu Rina insisted on going back with Chen Jiwu.
Wang Xianjin and Qu Xiaomei also have to return to work at the Xiangyang Chemical Factory.
At night, Wang Xianjin lay on the bed and saw Qu Xiaomei packing up her things, Wang Xianjin asked: "If you really don't want to go back, I can talk to Wei Dong and let you stay here to be an old mother for him and Ji Hong." β
Hearing her husband say this, Qu Xiaomei was not angry. She stared at Wang Xianjin and said, "Even being an old mother here is better than working in the Xiangyang Chemical Factory!" I heard that you and Weidong have not had a good relationship since childhood, but after all, you two are brothers, and Weidong has taken care of us over the years, so our life is much better than other families in the chemical factory! Now that Weidong's business is so big, it's easy to pull us along, can't you take the initiative to talk to him once? β
"Yes, I was just trying to talk to Wei Dong!" Wang Xianjin said.
Wang Xianjin really went to find Wang Weidong, and the two brothers sat together alone to have a good chat.
"Weidong, do you have any money to get me two or three hundred thousand?" Wang Xianjin asked directly.
Wang Xianjian's mouth asked for so much money, which made Wang Weidong feel very surprised.
"What do you want so much money for?" Wang Weidong asked.
"I don't want this money, but I keep it for you temporarily, and go back and quietly divide it into several passbooks and store it in the bank." Wang Xianjin said.
Looking at Wang Weidong's puzzled gaze, Wang Xianjin explained: "You are doing well now, and your business is doing a lot. But you can't tell when something will happen in this life, and if something happens to you one day in the future, and all the deposits in the factory villa bank are gone, what will you do then? What should we do with our parents? What about Xiaolong and Ji Hong? Wang Xianjin asked.
"I asked you for this money, just to leave you a backhand. Otherwise, when you have nothing in the future, will you live on the pension of one or two hundred yuan from our parents and our parents? Xiaomei and I only earn two or three hundred yuan a month now, and we won't be able to help you much even if we want to. Wang Xianjin explained.
Hearing the eldest brother say this, Wang Weidong felt hot in his heart. Although the brothers have not dealt with each other since childhood, they are brothers no matter how they say, and Wang Xianjin still thinks about him in his heart.
"Big brother, in fact, I was prepared." Wang Weidong replied.
Wang Weidong is really prepared, and the millions of dollars of Nokia shares bought in the Hong Kong Island Bank are his preparations.
"That's the case, since it's something I can think of, how could you not think that you kid has been ghostly since he was a child, and he is smarter than me. Since you've said so, then I'm relieved, and there's nothing else. Wang Xianxin stood up and said.
Then he walked out of the room.
The next day, after going to Guangshi Airport to see off Chen Jiwu and Wang Xinjian's family, Wang Haifu also pulled Wang Weidong aside and talked to him very seriously.
"With so many people living here, I take it for granted that I live with your mother and your grandmother. The rest of the people were actually uncomfortable, in the past, Lao Chen Tou and Mrs. Chen lived with us in Harbin City, that was because Chen Jiwu was not married at that time, and he was alone in the army. But now that Chen Jiwu is a battalion cadre, he is married, and he has a child, so Lao Chen naturally wants to live with his son and live in that ravine, and he is embarrassed to live with his daughter. Chen Jiwu and Xianjin both of them spent the Chinese New Year with you this year, and you have also seen that in fact, they are not very good financially, and you have to pull them to the extent you can. Wang Haifu said.
"With the character of Chen Jiwu and my eldest brother, will they ask for money if I give them money?" Wang Weidong asked.
"It's not that I don't want to help my eldest brother, when I went to the big country in the north to dismantle scrap steel, I told him so many times and asked him to go too, but he just didn't go! Otherwise, at least a hundred thousand have already been earned now. Chen Jiwu is now in the army, how can I help him? Looking for someone to promote him? Wang Weidong continued.
When Wang Haifu heard Wang Weidong's words, he could only nod.
"You've been to the big northern country twice, and at the beginning of spring, the 1,000 acres of land on the farm side need to be cultivated by people from here. The responsibility of you and my mother is to persuade my eldest brother and sister-in-law to go over this time no matter what, and let them bring dozens or hundreds of workers who have nothing to do in the Xiangyang Chemical Factory, and I will pay two or three hundred thousand yuan as start-up capital, which is always okay, right? Wang Weidong asked.
"Your eldest brother's dead eyes recognized the broken shift in the factory, and he willingly earned those two or three hundred yuan a month! It was not easy to persuade him to go to the big northern country to farm. Wang Haifu said.
"It's your responsibility as parents, and this time you're going to get him to the farm near Ussuriysk anyway." Wang Weidong said.
"Okay, when school is about to start, I will send your grandmother and Xiaoya back to Harbin City, and I will definitely go to the Xiangyang Chemical Factory with your mother, even if I want to put a rope on the advanced neck, I will also pull him to the big northern country!" Wang Haifu finally said.
Wang Haifu and Wang Weidong's father-in-law, Lao Chentou, two old friends, got together again. They go out together every day. The two of them like to go to the industrial area to see the three factories of Xiangyang Electronics.
Standing outside the big iron gate of the factory that produces VCD decoder boards and movements, Lao Chen asked a very critical question: "Lao Wang, you said that there are more than 3,000 people in these three factories together, is there a party committee in this factory?" Are there any trade unions? It's really up to Wang Weidong and them to have the final say? Old Chen asked.
Wang Haifu shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be!" β
This kind of problem is very naΓ―ve and ridiculous to say, but it is a very serious and critical problem for veteran workers like Wang Haifu and Lao Chen Tou, who have worked in state-owned enterprises all their lives since the 50s.
In fact, Wang Weidong's factory is not the largest in the whole of Fushan. There are many more factories here that are larger than theirs.
Almost all of them are private and foreign-owned enterprises.
Historically, Guangdong Province has been much smaller in terms of the size of state-owned enterprises than Black Province. Now the economy is developing by leaps and bounds, and almost all of the people who have developed and grown are these private and foreign-funded enterprises.
Seeing this, people like Wang Haifu and Lao Chen Tou felt very uncomfortable, and they were also faintly worried about Wang Weidong in their hearts.
