006 The system is not powerful, you have to work harder
Speaking of which, after Cao Zhiqiang traveled through time, he did not just travel through time, but with a system attached to it.
The system is not complicated, it is just a sign-in system with a portable space.
Carrying space is very simple, just carry a 1,000 cubic dimensional space with you, which is about the same size as 34 shipping containers.
Time inside is relatively static. No matter how much time passes outside, things will look the same when they are taken out.
It's like putting a glass of water at 85 degrees Celsius in. After ten days outside, when you take out the glass of water again, it's still 85 degrees Celsius.
The volume of the portable space is not static. It is said that if the number of consecutive check-ins reaches a certain number, the portable space can be upgraded.
Ordinarily, this function is quite good for being a bad guy.
However, considering the social environment at this time and the risks of being a bad man.
He felt that this matter could be discussed further.
Safety first, unless there is no other way, or under special circumstances, he doesn't want people to know that he has the ability to carry around space.
In addition, it is the most important daily check-in function.
If you sign in once a day, the system will randomly award one or more prizes.
The more consecutive sign-ins you sign in, the higher the value of random rewards will be, and the value of prizes such as monthly sign-ins and annual sign-ins will theoretically be higher.
But after all, it is a random reward, similar to a lottery, so the quality of the reward depends on luck and your personal needs.
For example, if you are rewarded with a bottle of Kona salt brine, although it is valuable, the actual effect is not the same.
Or maybe I’ll reward you with a pound of lunar soil. Do you really dare to sell it?
He was quite happy at first, thinking that he would rely on the system to take off from now on.
However, I don’t know if it’s because his sign-in system is too awkward or because I’m just unlucky.
The rewards he gets every time he signs in are either too ordinary or too flashy.
Ever since he traveled through time and obtained the system, he has been checking in steadily every day, never falling behind or missing anything.
So far, he has been signing in continuously and has never missed a sign.
But the rewards for consecutive sign-ins are really hard to describe.
Either a piece of soap, a pound of sugar, a pound of white flour, or a pound of eggs.
Or some toothpaste, toothbrush, perfume, snow cream, etc.
Sometimes we will also give you some special things, such as premium instant Geisha coffee powder originating from Panama, premium ibex milk powder originating from the Alps, and hardcover Fiji water originating from the Alps.
Although there are many sign-in rewards that are of high value and indeed useful, they can at least improve his personal quality of life.
Not everyone can drink Fiji water and Gesha coffee all day these days.
But expecting to get rich by relying on these small rewards is basically overthinking.
He can't really go to the streets of Longfu Temple to sell Fiji water, or really go to the streets of Gulou to sell Alpine ibex instant goat milk powder, right?
These are obviously imported goods, especially the packaging of many items is very sensitive. They are genuine packaging from the country of origin, without any Chinese characters.
At this time, to buy imported goods domestically, you can only go to foreign-related institutions such as Friendship Stores or Overseas Chinese Stores, and you need to use foreign exchange coupons or overseas Chinese remittance coupons.
And if Chinese people resell these sensitive items privately...
The crimes of speculation and foreign exchange reselling are still there.
This is 1983, not 2023!
Therefore, after experiencing the teasing of system sign-in many times, especially after signing in eight consecutive times for goat milk powder, Cao Zhiqiang quickly understood.
He felt that if he wanted to get rich and reach the top in this world, he couldn't just rely on this unreliable system. The key was to rely on himself.
After all, he didn't know how long it would take to extract a reliable and useful reward from the system.
What's more, it is wrong to completely rely on system plug-ins. Once you are completely dependent and rely on the system for everything, you will really become a slave to the system.
Who controls whom is often just a matter of thought.
It would be fine if it were a terrifying world of cultivating immortals or a world of high martial arts, but here, as a reborn person, he clearly has the ability to predict future trends, as well as the life experience and knowledge accumulated in his previous life. It would be unreasonable not to make good use of it.
.
Therefore, we cannot place all our hopes on the system. We still need to be more flexible, realistic, and vigilant as a human being.
So he thought and thought, and soon came up with a second career, which was to make money by writing articles.
Speaking of which, in order to avoid accidents in the future, he quickly went to Hongguang Machinery Factory to work as a worker and put on a worker's skin, which was considered a clean slate in time.
Although Cao Zhiqiang only regarded the factory as a safe haven and novice village, he was still disgusted by the current working environment in the factory.
It’s not that I’m too tired, it’s that I’m too idle!
Also, after experiencing the turmoil of those ten years, Hongguang Machinery Factory was already getting old.
The current equipment in the factory is old, the technology is outdated, and the software and hardware have not changed much from the 1960s, so that's fine.
The most terrible thing is that most of the mid-to-high-level workers in the early 1960s who were in the fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth grades are now retired or dead.
There is a serious shortage of new middle- and high-level workers, and there is a serious gap in all kinds of middle- and high-level technical workers. Most of the remaining workers are middle- and lower-level first, second, and third-level workers, and most of them are gangsters.
This means that the whole factory is full of small players, without the guidance of mid- to high-level masters. It is no longer the same as the prosperous 1960s.
In one sentence, there is a serious brain drain!
Yes, there is a serious brain drain, and this is a serious problem for the factory!
Nowadays, in Hongguang Machinery Factory, there are all kinds of people who are busy with work.
Basically, after you go in, you can work seriously for three or four hours a day, which is good. The rest of the time is spent doing odd jobs.
This is not something you can do if you work hard, but everyone is lazy and lazy. You, a small person, can't change anything at all.
Because once you are too diligent and want to work more, it will appear to others that you are not good enough, and you will appear to be out of place and unsociable, so of course everyone will unite together to exclude you.
If a new leader wants to change something and dares to scold the workers for working hard, the workers may agree to it on the surface, but behind the scenes they will dare to put a sack on you and beat you collectively, and finally join forces to take you down.
Anyway, it’s still a big pot job, and we do more and less things.
In addition, most people are used to being lazy, and it is better to do less than to do more.
At this time, the factory workers no longer had the passion of the past, jumping into the oil pit at the first order, and they no longer had the sense of responsibility and mission they had in the past.
Taking the factory as our home and fighting against heaven and earth seem to have become a thing of the past.
Therefore, today's Hongguang Machinery Factory has long been ineffective. It has even become a serious problem with negative assets. It is losing money every year and receiving financial allocations every year. In other words, it just continues to maintain a shelf and support the group of workers.
After all, it is a large factory with more than 8,000 people. If one person makes trouble... everyone knows.
Most of the time, the workers in Hongguang Machinery Factory are working as foreigners, either gathering together to play poker or chatting, so as to take advantage of the boss and the Li family.
Many people even went home early, and few were serious about working.
In fact, not only Hongguang Machinery Factory, but also other similar factories nearby at this time were similar.
For example, Qin Huairu in the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill goes to order a meal almost every day, then goes straight home and comes to the cafeteria to get food during lunch time. She is alone and no one says anything to her.
Silly Zhu, also known as He Yuzhu, is almost the same.
Since he became the director of the cafeteria, he has become even more blatant about taking things home.
Thanks to the big backstage behind He Yuzhu, there are many leaders covering him. In addition, he is actually very measured and does not take much home. They are all the ingredients for the small stoves run by some leaders. They do not take the food of ordinary workers. The most important thing is
Yes, his cooking is indeed delicious. Without him, it would not have the same taste, so no one would say anything about him.
In short, after entering the factory, Cao Zhiqiang will not confront others, but he will not waste time and waste time like them.
After he determined to make money by writing, every time he entered the factory, he would first follow the crowd and finish his trivial job, and then hide alone and take out a small notebook to write.
What did you write?
Of course, it is a literary work that has appeared in his previous life, but has not yet appeared here.
To be more precise, he is doing what most of the senior time travelers are doing.
