It was already more than ten o'clock when he got home, and seeing that the lights were still on in the main house, Gu Bei hesitated, but still pushed the door and walked in.

Usually, as long as he doesn't come back too late, Gu Bei will say hello to his parents.

No matter how old you are, in the eyes of your parents, your child will always be a child, and if you don't go home at night, you will definitely not be at ease.

"Mom, Dad!"

Gu Xiaowu and Li Sufen were watching TV in the hall, and CCTV was rebroadcasting "Stealing Ginseng Fruit".

Before, Gu Bei heard from his colleagues in the station that in just half a year, it has been rebroadcast no less than 20 times, and there are often letters from viewers, asking CCTV to broadcast it again, and broadcast it again.

"Nannan slept."

Li Sufen looked at Gu Bei: "You don't want to see what time it is." ”

As he spoke, he frowned.

"Drunk?"

Gu Bei suddenly felt weak, and hurriedly explained: "I had something to do with the third brother after work, and I drank two glasses." ”

Hearing Gu Bei say this, Li Sufen didn't ask any more questions, she was just worried that Gu Bei was young and ambitious, wanton and frivolous, and met a lot of people outside.

Ma San'er was raised by her, and although she was not in tune in the past few years, she was not a bad person in nature.

"Next time, I'll go out to eat and go home to say hello."

Gu Bei hurriedly responded.

"Linggen, Linggen, my grandson will give it a broken root."

On TV, Sun Wukong picked up the golden hoop stick and overturned the ginseng fruit tree.

Of course, it was the model that overturned, but the ginseng fruit tree in the distance is real, in the Twelve Bridges Martyrs Tomb in Chengdu, where director Yang Jie's father is buried.

It's a pity, if Gu Bei was in the crew at that time, he would have to pay homage to everything.

"Mom, it's late, you and my dad should rest, we have to go to work tomorrow."

Gu Bei said that he was about to go back to the house.

"Xiaobei."

Gu Xiaowu suddenly opened his mouth and stopped Gu Bei.

Belch?

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Xiaowu hesitated, but nodded: "Sit down first, I have something to ...... Talk to you. ”

Li Sufen also looked like she wanted to say something, her expression looked quite struggling, but she didn't say anything.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Fathers and sons in the world are probably the same, obviously thinking about each other in their hearts, but they rarely communicate directly, even if there is something, they say it in a few words.

The relationship between Gu Bei and Gu Xiaowu is closer, but they don't often communicate face-to-face.

"I just wanted to ask you, that ......"

When the words came to his lips, Gu Xiaowu didn't know what to say.

When Lao Tzu has something, he has to ask his son for advice.

This made Gu Xiaowu's face a little uncomfortable.

"Look at you, if there is anything you can't say to your son, if you don't say it, I will say it."

Li Sufen took the conversation.

"That's the case, hasn't your father's unit been unprofitable."

This Gu Bei has known for a long time, looking at the large pile of biscuits and bread stored in Gu Nan's room and the cupboard in the hall, it seems that from the second quarter of this year, the food factory has simply not been able to pay wages.

A little bit of income, but also to ensure production, reimbursement of employees' medical expenses, wages can only be held on the top of the product.

In their alley, Gu Xiaowu is not the only one who works in the food factory, and there are two people in the courtyard next door who are regular employees of the food factory.

The unit can't pay salaries, and the two can only sell a little bit of biscuits and bread on weekends with skewers from each family.

The woman of that family also came to Gu Xiaowu and asked him to help find a way, but Gu Xiaowu was only the head of the safety section of the food factory, and he was not even a middle-level leader, so what could he do.

The dilemma of the food factory, Gu Bei didn't take it seriously, this is the inevitability of economic reform, the big factory with strong anti-risk ability, can still hold on, small enterprises like food factories, do not know the transformation, do not know the research and development of new products, just think of blindly reaching out to the country to ask for relief grain, sooner or later it will be eliminated.

In the next few years, with the deepening of the reform, even some large state-owned factories will also face life and death, like those enterprises with high energy consumption and low production capacity, they will be washed away by the tide of the times one by one.

The general trend cannot be changed by manpower.

But......

"Dad, have you ever thought about attracting investment?"

Gu Xiaowu was stunned when he heard this: "Attracting investment? What do you mean? ”

"It literally means that the introduction of external capital, the current problem of food factories, to put it bluntly, is two things, one is capital, the other is products, if you can introduce ......"

"Nonsense!"

Without waiting for Gu Bei to finish speaking, Gu Xiaowu stopped his words back.

"It's a state-owned factory, looking for money from the outside, that's not a way back, it's restoration, you can figure it out."

Get!

Listening to Gu Xiaowu's words, you can imagine the attitude of the leaders of the food factory.

However, it is indeed Gu Bei who is anxious, and now although the state has also begun to call on various places to attract investment, the objects of attraction are all foreign capital, and the purpose is also to enrich foreign exchange reserves.

Although there is no longer resistance to domestic personal capital from top to bottom, it can eventually return to the stage of being regulated, injecting personal capital into state-owned factories and allowing private individuals to become shareholders of enterprises.

For a while, it is really difficult for people to get around this bend.

Wait!

There will definitely be opportunities in the future.

If that day really comes, Gu Bei really doesn't mind saving the food factory, when his son knows, his old son has a very deep affection for the food factory.

"And what are you going to tell me?"

Gu Xiaowu didn't speak, and Li Sufen smiled helplessly: "What happened to the incident you told us last time?" Forgot? ”

Last time......

Gu Bei reacted suddenly, and looked at Gu Xiaowu with surprise on his face: "Dad, you ...... I really made up my mind. ”

When Gu Xiaowu heard this, he sighed: "I don't want to take this step until I have to, but now the factory is estimated to be really out of line, I have been talking to someone these days, although I haven't found me yet, but I also heard the rumors, the meaning of the factory is nothing more than to persuade the big guys to fend for themselves, I don't want to wait for others to find it, let's take the initiative, but ......"

Li Sufen pressed Gu Xiaowu's arm, she didn't want her husband to be too embarrassed, after all, when Lao Tzu wants to ask her son for advice now, she will definitely not be able to save face.

"What do you mean, didn't you tell us last time, let your dad also learn to do business, now the situation in the factory is really bad, every time the salary is bread and biscuits, you see, can you talk to the third child, let him ...... Take your dad. ”

Belch?

What's that?

Let Ma San'er teach the old man to do business?

Trouble!

Speaking of which, Ma San'er can be regarded as working for Gu Bei, and then let Gu Xiaowu follow Ma San'er, how should the relationship be calculated?

Gu Bei is Ma San'er's boss, and Ma San'er is Gu Xiaowu's boss.

Lao Gu is called the big guy.

Just thinking about it, Gu Bei subconsciously shrank his neck.

In memory, although Gu Xiaowu is a loving father, there is not a lot of majesty that a family member should have.

Besides, there is also Li Sufen.

She's not a habitual child.

"Dad, Mom, even if you want to do business, my dad doesn't have to learn from the third brother!"

"If you don't learn from others, who do you learn from? With you? ”

Li Sufen said angrily.

Originally, Ma San'er was a negative example of the neighbors in the whole compound educating their children, but now it is different, the times are different, and people's ideology is gradually changing.

Ma San'er's business has developed, which makes his status in the compound increase day by day, and those who are full of thoughts run to Ma San'er's house for three days, either begging Ma San'er to take them to make a fortune together, or hoping to get the goods from Ma San'er at a low price.

In Baihua Hutong just now, Ma San'er complained to Gu Bei, it wasn't that he didn't want to go home to live, it was really annoying.

Promise, right?

Gu Bei is the real owner, he can't be the master, and he ships at a low price, and it is easy to break the rules.

Don't say yes, right?

Either he grew up watching him, or he was a buddy of the same age, and his face couldn't get up and down.

I didn't even go home.

Fortunately, he learned from Gu Bei before and bought a small yard outside, so he didn't have to worry about having no place to live.

Gu Bei and Ma San'er do business together, what role do they play in it?

Li Sufen can guess a little.

It's definitely not like what Gu Bei said, just helping to draw pictures and get dividends.

If that's the case, can you buy this room of furniture, appliances, and those two yards?

But Gu Bei didn't say it, Li Sufen was also happy to pretend to be confused, as long as she was sure that Gu Bei didn't do anything illegal.

"How can you ......?"

As soon as the words came out, Gu Bei met Li Sufen's stern gaze.

Hehe!

I also have to take care of the old man's emotions.

"Of course I didn't learn from me, but my dad can come and help me, as the saying goes, father and son soldiers, I want to do business, who else is more suitable than my dad."

Now that we've talked about it, let's just talk about it today.

What about Li Sufen?

I have been waiting for Gu Bei to confess for a long time.

I didn't ask it before, because I was at ease with Gu Bei, but now that the family is facing a small change, I can't help but find out.

"Let's talk about it, you and the third child have been lying to the gods and ghosts all day long, what the hell is going on?"

Gu Bei smiled: "Mom, it's still you Shengming, you have insight into thousands of miles!" ”

"Don't talk to me, you think you can make up two nonsense sentences, and I can fool you around, say it quickly."

After this period of time, the improvement of the living conditions at home, Gu Xiaowu and Li Sufen's receptivity should be improved.

So, Gu Bei explained the matter from beginning to end.

Of course, Gu Bei didn't say anything about cheating foreigners, it was a crooked way, if he let his parents know, he would have to expose his skin.

Even if it is a foreigner who is deceived, it is not good, this is a quality problem.

After Gu Bei finished what he could say, Gu Xiaowu and Li Sufen were both stunned, although they had long known that Gu Bei had a problem, but they never thought that Gu Bei would actually do so many earth-shattering things behind their backs.

"Xiaobei, you ...... This ......"

Li Sufen, who has always been bold, was frightened.

Buying and selling cultural relics, speculation, and also from the customs...... This is digging into the wall, right?
