Spring of 1986.
Luo Tianbao is already in the fifth grade of elementary school and has good academic performance. Because he lives in his sister's house, he has been very well-behaved and sensible since he was a child.
This does not mean that Su Mingzhe and Luo Yuzhu mistreated him or treated him badly.
Instead, children who live abroad without a father or mother are somewhat emotionally sensitive.
Coupled with the severe crackdown in recent years, many alleys and various old guns on the streets have been destroyed.
There were no bad people around Luo Tianbao, so he grew up carefree.
Coming home from school at noon that day, Luo Tianbao heard his nephew's laughter before he even entered the house.
"Brother-in-law, I'm back."
"Tianbao is back, your sister is cooking in the kitchen."
Su Mingzhe was about to ask Luo Tianbao to go to the kitchen. Su Yize, who was playing Cuju, twisted his butt and ran towards his uncle, shouting: "Uncle, uncle..."
"Brother-in-law, let me hug Yize."
Luo Tianbao, who was only twelve years old, was very affectionate towards his nephew. He hugged his nephew who ran over and walked towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Luo Yuzhu had already cooked three dishes, and steamed noodles were still sitting on the pot. When she saw her younger brother coming with her son in her arms, she ordered her younger brother to help her wash the dishes:
"Tianbao, dinner is about to begin, take Yize with you to wash your hands."
"Okay, sister."
Soon the family of four gathered around the kitchen table and started eating.
Luo Yuzhu has a strong sense of family, and is very attentive to her younger brother, son, and husband. Knowing that Luo Tianbao is growing tall, he will have a so-called nutritious meal for every meal.
Luo Tianbao ate more nutritious meals and was already taller and stronger than when he came here a few years ago.
After lunch, Luo Tianbao played with his nephew for a while and then went to take a nap.
It’s said to be a nap, but it’s actually just meditation.
This is what Luo Yuzhu begged her man to teach her younger brother.
"I'm going to the company."
Su Mingzhe had lunch, kissed his wife and children, picked up his coat and walked out the door.
Seeing the man about to leave, Luo Yuzhu remembered that today was Friday and asked casually:
"Is there any entertainment tonight?"
"Yes, someone from Pujiang's hometown is here again, and we have to socialize."
"Who is it this time?"
Luo Yuzhu especially hates people from her hometown who come to fight the autumn wind.
These people basically have a roundabout relationship and have no real relatives.
However, if you ignore these people, they will say bad things about them when they return to their hometowns.
For the sake of face, Su Mingzhe has been spending a lot of money in recent years.
"Xiaoyan said that he is the leader of Puxi Socks Factory. Puxi Socks Factory is the place where your mother used to work."
Su Mingzhe's words made Luo Yuzhu fall into memories.
Because she is a girl and due to the times, she has never been to school since she was a child.
Her mother took her to the Puxi Sock Factory and let her play in an abandoned house with other workers' children.
Now, when someone comes from Puxi Socks Factory, Luo Yuzhu can't say anything even for the sake of the incense.
Su Mingzhe arrived at the company and was busy all afternoon.
Pearl Technology has now reached the forefront of the world.
Especially the photolithography machine technology is unique in the world.
In the field of chips, it can also be regarded as an invincible existence.
After Su Mingzhe came up with these technologies, he was naturally written about in the news and shocked the Chinese people.
Then... Mingzhu Technology was boycotted by many countries.
Under the propaganda of the government, ordinary people in Yingjiang, Japan, Britain and other places would rather spend a lot of money to buy defective goods than use the high-quality and low-priced goods of Mingzhu Technology.
Mingzhu Technology's products are currently mainly sold domestically, as well as in neighboring countries and regions with good relations with them.
Of course, this is a matter of fact.
When expanding sales, Su Mingzhe changed his mind.
Since these countries boycott ‘Made in a’, they should change the brand and label it ‘MI’. If that doesn’t work, label it ‘Made in PRC’.
Anyway, these countries all implement happy education. Ordinary people in these countries may not even be able to recognize all 26 English letters, let alone know that these labels actually mean the same thing.
It's past five o'clock.
Su Mingzhe took his female assistant Xiaoyan to the guest house in Pujiang County in Beijing.
It is said to be Pujiang Zaijing Guesthouse, but it is actually a branch of Jinhua Zaijing Guesthouse.
As a county-level unit in Pujiang, it is not yet qualified to operate a guest house in Beijing.
Even this guest house in Jinhua was specially approved.
Normally, in this era, the Beijing Office needs to be a provincial-level unit to open it.
Even Jinhua City is not qualified to set up an office in Beijing.
Pujiang decided that this guest house could only be opened in the name of a branch of Jinhua Guest House.
Su Mingzhe is also a frequent visitor here. Before he entered, Director Zheng of Puxi Socks Factory stood at the door to greet him.
The director of the guest house also came out to greet him.
After everyone exchanged greetings, they arrived at the box.
Su Mingzhe didn't need to order, the director of the guest house had already prepared a sumptuous banquet.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
Director Zheng then revealed with shame the purpose of his banquet with Su Mingzhe:
"Mr. Su, I'm so sorry about Zheng. Last year, the customer you helped contact was not properly maintained. In the past two years, the factory has been experiencing frequent problems. Now the factory... is about to be unable to continue its work."
"Director Zheng, doesn't the sock factory have orders? Why can't it continue?"
Su Mingzhe was a little surprised. He had attracted many customers for Puxi Socks Factory.
As long as there are these customers, hundreds of thousands of orders every year are enough to support the employees of the sock factory.
"Hey, those orders...are all gone."
Director Zheng explained the situation again without waiting for Su Mingzhe to ask in detail.
Since 1984, safety accidents have occurred frequently in the factory, including fires and production accidents.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www.yeguoyuedu.com to install the latest version.]
Every time an accident occurs, the company has to stop production for rectification. Those orders are basically time-limited. Once they are delayed, they will be in default.
The little profit the factory made was not enough to pay compensation, and the employees' wages and bonuses were increasingly in arrears.
The factory does not pay wages and bonuses to employees, so employees have little enthusiasm for work.
Employees are not motivated to work, which increases the frequency of safety accidents.
Su Mingzhe felt speechless when he heard this. Will the factory fall into a vicious cycle soon?
After thinking about it, Su Mingzhe could only frown and asked:
"Then Director Zheng came to see me this time...what does it mean?"
"That's what I think. Haven't the higher-ups recently asked private parties to contract state-owned enterprises? I discussed it with some leaders. Mr. Su must be very capable to manage a company as big as Mingzhu Technology. Why don't you contract the work here in Pujiang?
enterprise……"
Director Zheng's tone of voice was a little cautious when he spoke, and his eyes were even more humble.
He may not be capable, but his feelings for Puxi Socks Factory are not fake.
Now that the government allows private parties to contract state-owned enterprises, he wants to find a capable person for the sock factory.
And the most talented person he knew was Su Mingzhe.
"Director Zheng, which leaders have you discussed this with?"
Su Mingzhe was dumbfounded by Factory Director Zheng's words.
The assets under his control, not to mention Weilong Communications, and Mingzhu Technology alone, are expected to make annual profits of more than one billion this year.
Now you want to give me a sock factory that is in debt and has an annual turnover of less than one million to manage.
What are you thinking?
Haven't I thought about whether I want it or not?
"Of course, we also know that Mr. Su has a big company like Mingzhu Technology to be busy with, and he certainly can't do everything for the enterprise and factory here in Pujiang. That's what we think. Although it is contracted by you, you don't have to do it yourself.
Pujiang just needs to arrange for a few experts to come... Pujiang's leaders have only one request, and that is to keep these enterprises and not let the workers of Pujiang lose their jobs..."
Director Zheng’s words can be considered extremely sincere.
After Su Mingzhe heard this, he was too embarrassed to refuse.
"Director Zheng, let me think about this again."
If other businessmen encountered this kind of unreasonable request, they would either lose their minds and think about making a fortune, or they would refuse to accept it in order to avoid getting into trouble.
Su Mingzhe also thought that it was not easy for people in his hometown, and he did have this ability, so he planned to go home and think about it before replying.
When Director Zheng heard that Su Mingzhe didn't refuse directly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as things can be discussed, then my trip to Yanjing will not be in vain.
At the wine table, several people toasted to Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe carefully inquired about the details on the Pujiang side.
The banquet started at six o'clock, and several people drank until past nine o'clock.
Assistant Xiaoyan had not been drinking, so she just happened to send Su Mingzhe home.
Luo Yuzhu heard the noise and came out to open the door. She saw her cousin Luo Yuyan supporting her man, and she suddenly felt unhappy:
"Xiaoyan, why did your brother-in-law drink so much today?"
"Maybe the people in my hometown are too polite."
Luo Yuyan is the youngest daughter of Luo Yuzhu's second uncle's family. When Luo Yuzhu was pregnant and expecting to give birth the year before last, she had just graduated from high school and was sent by her family to take care of her during the confinement period.
Seeing that she was quite well-behaved and smart in her work, Luo Yuzhu wanted to give her some advice, so she asked her to help with some things.
Later, Su Mingzhe wanted to find an assistant for him to handle groceries, so Luo Yuzhu introduced Luo Yuyan to her man.
Luo Yuyan and Luo Yuzhu look very similar. They are less than twenty years old, young and beautiful.
As soon as Luo Yuzhu introduced her to his man, he turned around and began to regret it.
After all, there is no cat in this world who doesn't steal fish.
Fortunately, over the past year or so, Su Mingzhe and Luo Yuyan had not had any problems. Although Luo Yuzhu could not find an excuse for a while, he transferred this cousin away.
On weekdays, she could only be extremely defensive about her man.
The two women helped Su Mingzhe to the bedroom, and Luo Yuyan was rushed to rest by Luo Yuzhu.
Su Mingzhe was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Luo Yuzhu poured a bowl of sour soup that had been prepared long ago, and the alcohol was slowly suppressed.
(The gods and monsters in "Soul Ferryman" will get drunk if they drink too much. Don't say anything and let the wine go into your private space.)
"Why did you drink so much today?"
Luo Yuzhu asked this question again.
Su Mingzhe was out socializing. Although he often drank, he had a good drinking capacity and could not get drunk after a thousand drinks. Today, he was a little drunk. There must be something abnormal.
"Hey, do you know what Director Zheng wants from me today?"
Su Mingzhe was so drunk that everyone got drunk today. At the banquet just now, he was thinking about how to help the enterprises and factories in Pujiang develop, so he unknowingly got a little drunk.
At this time, after the drunkenness was over, my mind became clear again.
After listening to the man's words, Luo Yuzhu started to compliment her and asked:
"What is it that deserves you to drink so much?"
"The leaders of Pujiang want to hand over the contract management of the enterprises and factories in my hometown to me. I am worried about how to open up the situation."
Su Mingzhe said he was worried, but actually he already had an idea in his mind.
However, it is definitely difficult to fully implement this idea.
In this era, it is not difficult to carry out reforms.
