Brother-in-law Qin Ru, after giving birth to her first child, moved to live in the industrial zone with Luo Bing.

In order to make it easier for her, she was first arranged to work as a conductor at the ice rink in the city. In addition to going to work until nine o'clock at night, returning from work and washing up late, but there is no shift in the morning. It can be regarded as a profession that others envy.

When you get to the industrial area, there are actually ice rinks, and there are several. Considering the problem of bringing children, the ice rink was built in the open air, so I was transferred to a department store to work as a salesperson.

After many years, he has also become a small foreman, and he has suffered a loss of no culture. Otherwise, after working for so many years, it would not be the case with a little bit of cultural qualifications.

Qin Ru is in charge of a sales outlet on the first floor, and today's department store has lost its glory back then.

Without the materials that Luo Cheng brought, there is an outlet in the industrial zone and there is nothing to fight for. At that time, the employees had food rolls, cloth rolls, and industrial products rolls every month. It also lasted for more than a year after Luo Cheng disappeared and then stopped.

In order to maintain the image of the department store, the goods inside are as complete as possible. But you don't have a ticket, so you can't buy it. Later, it completely became a place for some leadership welfare.

At present, the industrial zone also distributes vouchers from department stores, but instead of issuing them to workers, they will send them to leading cadres, not only leading cadres of their own industrial zones, but also leading cadres of some units in urban areas, as well as provinces and autonomous regions.

So, the current department store is a bit like the Friendship Store. People need to have foreign exchange rolls to buy things, and here they need to use the rolls, but those who can have offset rolls are not ordinary people.

The department store is deserted, but it is not that it is completely isolated from ordinary people, and there are still many people going to the movie in the cinema on the top floor. In the food area on the second floor, there are no vouchers, and you can buy food stamps.

It's just the first floor, and the purchase of various commodities is colder than before, which makes the workers on the first floor more idle.

Luo Bing first took everyone to the department store to greet his daughter-in-law, and said that the eldest brother Luo Cheng and the sister-in-law were back. In the evening, I want to go to the city for dinner, to see if she wants to take a leave now or wait for an early leave, that is, leave work early at four o'clock in the afternoon.

And when I came here, there was a big square in front of the door of the department store, and as soon as I arrived here, Luo Bing saw the eldest and second of his family, and the two guys were squatting next to the gate, trying their luck to pick up the work of moving things piecemeal. It's not a good thing, it's not the material for reading, the eldest didn't read it when he was in elementary school, the second child went to junior high school, but he only went to school, and he didn't read it in the second half of the second year, and he wasn't a junior high school graduate.

The third and fourth are all girls, and now they are all in school and junior high school. Luo Bing hopes that the two girls will compete for strength, don't be like the two brothers, they can't finish junior high school.

Of course, this is not that Luo Bing likes the cultural education of children, his ideological consciousness is not so high. Instead, the staff school here is free, as long as you buy textbooks. I don't expect my child to go to high school and university, so I want to finish junior high school and get good grades and enter my own technical secondary school in the industrial zone.

The technical secondary school run by itself in the industrial zone was admitted, and those who came out were assigned to work in the industrial zone. Luo Bing hopes that his children can be successful in their studies, just because they are parents who belong to the employees of the industrial zone, and they have extra points in the exam. Other people's parents are not employees here, and they have to take the examination to the staff technical school (technical secondary school) opened here, and the score must be higher than that of the employees' children.

And there is another point, even if you get a high score, you think you are equal to the children of workers here. Wrong, after graduation, unless you have a good priority, there is a teacher to recommend. Otherwise, even if the job is divided, the children of good department employees are preferred.

Anyway, Luo Bing's two sons are hopeless, and the two daughters can only be regarded as having a good academic performance, Luo Bing is an employee here, and there are plus points (in fact, it is a minus point, and the admission score will be less). So even if my daughter's grades are not particularly good, there is still hope.

The car is parked casually in the square, and there is no special parking space, and even if it is parked at the gate, no one will say anything. Luo Bing got out of the car and immediately called his two sons, asking them to greet the two aunts, and the most important thing was to greet the eldest sister-in-law Sissi, who was their aunt, and Sissi's sons and daughters also knew each other.

"This is Luo Gang, this is Luo Tie. It's all that big. ”

Dai Qianqian also got off the car, and she was more enthusiastic about Luo Bing's two sons, Luo Gang and Luo Tie, after all, Xiaoyu Shishi's child was born late. But Luo Bing's child was born before she and Luo Cheng went to Xiangjiang, especially Luo Gang, who would call Uncle Luo Cheng and her aunt when he left.

And Luo Gang can't remember what happened when he was a child, and he was pulled by Sissi's aunt and blushed a little. The young man with strong blood is a young man, and Sissi is beautiful and well-maintained in Xiangjiang. Just like the jade girl Zhou Huimin, her grandfather liked it back then, and then her father liked it too, and then later, she still liked it.

Although Luo Bing's children don't remember what happened when they were young, Luo Bing has a big brother, but he disappeared after going to Hong Kong, and Luo Bing told his children. It's just that Luo Gang and Luo Tie didn't expect their aunt to be so beautiful, and she seemed to look very young.

In terms of age, Sissi is actually older than Luo Bing, but when the two stand together, the gap is too big.

Luo Bing told his two sons that they would go to the city for dinner today, and when he talked to their mother, they would go back together. It is really not okay to let them change their clothes and go to the restaurant, there are still work clothes he has not worn at home, and the two of them can wear his work clothes to eat.

The main reason is that children have grown too fast in recent years, and there are many children, how can there be so much cloth to make clothes. Calling them home to change their clothes, in fact, there are few decent ones.

And this is all coming to the department store, and Xiaoyu Shishi's children are all there. Sissi directly proposed to go to the department store to buy clothes, it happened to be cold, one person to buy a coat or coat or something, this vote Sissi really has. There is no voucher to buy clothes here with a cloth ticket, Sissi came here from her mother's house, people know that Sissi and Luo Cheng are not short of money, there is foreign exchange, and they can exchange money in Nghe An, but money cannot be exchanged for foreign exchange.

So when Luo Cheng's family returned to Ngee An, Sissi's parents and grandfather gave a lot of tickets. The children of several families, together are just ten people, and there are a lot of tickets given by Sissi's mother's family, but the cloth tickets are all enough to buy a dress. If you have a coat, you will need a cotton ticket.

Let Sissi change new clothes for the ten children inside and out, there is no problem with the money, and the tickets are really not enough, but there is no problem with one coat or coat per person.

And this year, army green coats are popular, and they are sold in supply and marketing cooperatives, as well as in department stores. In a few years, with the reform and opening up, some of the popular costumes on the Xiangjiang side will be spread here. At that time, there will be no more cloth tickets and the like for clothes.

This Sissi took a large group of people to the department store to buy clothes, while Luo Cheng was drinking tea in the office and roasting the fire. It's a pity that the place where he sat back then is now someone else's seat.

Luo Cheng asked Zhang Lin, the logistics director of the year, and Du Yongkang, the deputy head of the district, how they were doing in the office. Secretary Wang asked people to check the personnel information. In those days, the average worker retired at the age of 55 for men and 50 for women. If it is a cadre leader or something, you can relax the five-year age. However, those who become leading cadres can actually apply for retirement before the age of 55.

When Zhang Lin was still the director of an auto repair shop, he was in his forties. Until now, even according to the cadre level, he has retired. As for Du Yongkang, he does have management ability, but when he served as the deputy head of the industrial zone, he was indeed younger. Therefore, I stayed in the industrial zone for about ten years, and my qualifications were enough, and I also held the position of deputy secretary, and later transferred to a unit in the province and region.

On the side of the industrial zone, Secretary Wang is not afraid to tell Luo Cheng the truth, the development has been restricted, and the domestic steel production has not been improved due to the influence of the educated youth era. The raw materials have been stuck, counting him Wang Sihai, who is the fifth secretary of the industrial zone.

The current industrial zone has solved the employment of a large number of workers, and the production of vehicles is still in short supply. It is easy to directly 'interact' with many enterprises, but the volume is too large, and it is easy to mix up the benefits of the leader, but more than 100,000 employees, just send a small thing is 100,000 levels, and it is easy for the leader here to mess around, but it is difficult to achieve something.

Secretary Wang said this to Luo Cheng, not to expose anything, but to say that the current leadership team has its own thoughts. In the future, even if there is no restriction on raw materials, if it wants to develop into a larger scale, the whole team will not work together.

Moreover, this is only a problem of the leadership team, and the problem of the workers below is also very serious. It's not that the employees don't listen to instructions or anything. But when Luo Cheng was there, he recruited a large number of skilled workers, at that time, the basic age of technology was thirty or forty years old, and skilled workers were also workers, except for masters above the sixth level, they would be asked to work for a few more years, and the rest were retired at the age of fifty-five.

The high-level retirement salary of this skilled worker is also a lot, and there is nepotism, and the children of many old workers must always arrange to enter the factory, otherwise the arrangement of cadres is not too ugly. Just like Luo Cheng back then, he took the most benefits, but the people below were all divided according to their ranks.

Another point is that some of the younger workers are different from the older generation of workers, who do not regard the factory as their home and do not take their work seriously. They feel that they do more and do less anyway, and the salary is the same, and there are more people who like to be lazy than before, and when the leader finds out, there is really no way to do anything with them.

You say that they are not willing to work hard, and people say that they are born with little strength and cannot do a lot of work. Otherwise, if you change to a position that doesn't require much effort, they will ensure that they work hard.

It was useless to persuade the master in the factory, saying that if you work hard and learn technology, your salary will rise. It's not that there is no one who can be persuaded, but there are many workers, the base is large, and what is the use of persuading one of the ten people to work hard to learn technology.

Many people see that it doesn't seem to be much of a problem to be lazy, and the salary is the same, so you persuade one to go back and work hard. But people can bring three bad ones to join the new lazy team.

Over the years, even if the industrial zone has not recruited workers from outside, it is inevitable to recruit workers internally. In addition, in their own schools, there are also veterans shelter tasks, so even if there has been no recruitment for more than ten years, the industrial zone has still increased by tens of thousands of people. If you count the retirement, there are people on top, then there are at least 60,000 or 70,000 people.

The very simple calculation is that the number of pensions to be paid, and the number of employees currently in employment, is the total number of people who are paid. So on the surface, the industrial zone has only expanded by about 20,000 people, but in fact the wages paid are almost double that of before.

But the production has not increased much. However, the wages of workers are not high, and they have not been raised for many years, which is nothing in terms of wages for high-profit industrial areas. But retired workers also need to pay some benefits, the New Year's holiday, is it true that people have worked hard all their lives, retirement, and do not take into account emotions.

Money, the industrial zone has, but in terms of material welfare, he is worried about being a secretary.

Speaking of this, Secretary Wang looked at Luo Cheng with a smile and asked him to drink tea, although tea is also in short supply now, it is not the same as back then, at least the broken tea leaves were considered good things back then, and no one said anything when they were taken out to entertain people. Now, some leaders can really drink good tea.

, seeing Secretary Wang's meaningful smile, Luo Cheng understood the plan. This is telling him about the welfare of the industrial zone, and Luo Cheng was in Xiangjiang back then, but he supported the trend of welfare decline by himself. At least at that time, clothes, shoes, cloth tickets and other materials were transported to China by cargo ships.

And it is not difficult to check this information, and now Secretary Wang is gambling, betting that Luo Cheng will drive two cars here, and there will be a special personal driver.

Money, there is a shortage of materials in the industrial zone, and Luo Cheng can still get materials, even if the bet fails, Secretary Wang is wasting time to entertain him, and he will not lose anything.

Luo Cheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, he has been smoking all these years, and he has always been a fake smoker. But even if it is a fake inhalation, the second-hand smoke that you spit out will still inhale some, and under the entanglement of nicotine, it can indeed make people think calmly.

Obviously, as long as Luo Cheng can have the goods, Secretary Wang wants to buy it. Even if the current opening situation is only on the side of Shencheng, Secretary Wang's asking Luo Cheng for items is equivalent to buying from an individual, which can be regarded as bold enough.

Now at the end of the year, if Secretary Wang gets a batch of materials to pay benefits to workers, then his prestige can rise. The voice in the industrial zone is high, let alone if the secretary has a struggle with the district head.

But in the face of the workers in the industrial zone, Luo Cheng is willing for them to have a good year. However, the current prices in China are too low, and the current Xiangjiang is no longer the Xiangjiang of the past. With the economic development of Xiangjiang, the income of workers has increased by twenty or thirty times. And prices are actually rising.

Reform and opening up, overseas people are looking at the demographic dividend in China, and labor is cheap. When you come here to open a factory, they are also processing plants, and the products are sold overseas. At present, domestic products are still stuck in a few cents, the vegetables in Xiangjiang are more expensive than the domestic meat, and a set of clothes and stalls all cost a month's salary of domestic workers.

If Luo Cheng is allowed to transport materials at domestic prices, then Luo Cheng will lose money. If it is the other way around, and the raw materials are poured out, it can make a lot of money.

Historically, bell-bottoms, sunglasses, and plaid shirts were popular in Xiangjiang. Originally, it was a stall in Xiangjiang, but in China it was tall, and a pair of pants cost a month's salary for employees, but there are still people who buy it and pursue fashion.

More than 30 pairs of jeans, for Xiangjiang, very cheap. Why didn't anyone sell clothes in China at the beginning, even if they were sold cheaply, the labor cost of manufacturing in Xiangjiang was not cheap, and I felt that the domestic people were poor and there was no market.

The same is true for other products, if Xiangjiang transports fabrics to sell in China, it will definitely die. The only thing I didn't expect was that in order to pursue fashion, domestic people were willing to buy a pair of pants for a month's salary.

Later, the domestic people started their own business and began to imitate Xiangjiang products, bell bottoms and some clothing.

Luo Cheng didn't tell Secretary Wang whether he had any supplies, but directly talked to him about the economic development of Xiangjiang, not only Xiangjiang, but also the country of little devils.

Do you know why a TV in the country of little devils is so expensive, and why are the products expensive after the economy of Xiangjiang has risen. It is so much so that people say that now a color TV will be sold for thousands, which is the income of ordinary people for many years.

However, they didn't say they had to sell you. People sell at that price in the local area, and the income of the little devil is now even crazier than that of Xiangjiang. Ordinary people can buy a few TVs with a monthly salary that you said can only be bought with a few years of income.

Luo Cheng said this to Secretary Wang, and the meaning is very simple, there is money here in the industrial zone. But you can make the decision to buy supplies at a high price, and you have to spend five or ten yuan to buy something for one dollar in China.

Luo Cheng's words made Secretary Wang ponder, he had never been abroad, and there was no business environment in China, so he really didn't understand many things. When I exported my car, I felt that it was really easy to make money abroad, and there was so much profit for a car. But when I import things, I also think that imported things are really expensive.

But I didn't think that when you export, you think that the profit of export is high, but in the eyes of others, it is very reasonable. And when you import, you think that other people's things are expensive, but in fact you are poor.

"Mr. Naro, is there anything cheap?"

"Hey, your tea is not delicious, you won't drink it next time. Don't think about the processed materials, whether you want rice, wheat, or seafood. ”

After all, he is a secretary, and he invites himself to drink tea, and he will not do anything at a loss even if Luo Cheng has money. But it's okay to do something without making money. Rice and wheat Luo Cheng can help buy some overseas, get some to be reprocessed in China, make rice flour, and send the flour to workers to make dumplings for the New Year.

Seafood, let your fishing boat go out to sea to catch some, expensive things to keep, small fish and shrimp, some worthless, in fact, are also very cheap to handle, and even feed poultry. If Secretary Wang wants it, let him send a cold truck to the port of Shencheng to pull it, and Luo Cheng will solve it with a phone call.

What about hundreds of thousands of workers, 50 tons is 100,000 catties, get 500 tons, and each worker will have a point.
