Although there were only four people at lunch, the dishes were rich and the atmosphere was very good.
During the meal, most of the conversation was about trivial matters at home, but it made the family warmer. With Zhang Weidong's character, he prefers a simple celebration as a family, but Zhang Guofu mentioned Zhang Weidong several times during this period.
It is rare for Zhang Guodong to celebrate his fiftieth birthday, so it should be more lively.
Although Zhang Guodong and his wife repeatedly waved their hands and said that it was better like this, Zhang Weidong could vaguely see that they still had a little regret. At this time, Zhang Weidong suddenly realized that people's pursuits are different. Although his parents have always been used to hardship and simplicity,
After working hard all my life, at this age, seeing my son become a university teacher, I always want to be famous in front of others. This is a simple idea of an older person! And now I am a working adult.
, we should take the initiative to take care of our parents in these aspects, instead of having to prepare and take charge of everything like when we were studying.
Thinking of this, Zhang Weidong felt that his casual and calm personality made him neglect many things that he should not have neglected. For example, this is his father's fiftieth birthday, and the house where his parents live should be changed...
Maybe they actually don't care, but children cannot be indifferent.
The meal and chat lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon. After it was over, Zhang Guofu insisted on letting Zhang Weidong go to his house to sit and take a look at his factory. In addition to having a slight cold with his third aunt, Zhang Weidong was very fond of the third aunt.
The Third Uncle's family was very friendly, and I really wanted to go to his house and see his factory, so I agreed.
Because Zhang Guofu drank some wine at noon, he could not drive, so the uncle and nephew simply walked to Zhang Guofu's house.
Zhang Guofu is in the thermal underwear business, and sometimes produces some underwear. Called a factory, it is actually just a slightly larger workshop. The annual output value is about 6 to 7 million, and the annual profit is about 100,000, which is usually only 2
Person No. 30 is producing. Because it is not well-known, the thermal underwear produced is mainly sent to the wholesale market at bus stations in some cities, targeting the mid-to-low-end market.
In his early years, Zhang Guofu worked with a few people in the village. Later, when his business started and he made some money, he bought a five-story house with a single floor area of more than 100 square meters in the town. His family lived there.
The fourth floor and the remaining floors are used as processing rooms and warehouses. This family workshop-style production method is relatively common in Wenchang County.
Because of the boom in real estate in recent years, Zhang Guofu almost lost his savings when he bought a house. But with the rise in housing prices, the house he bought has increased by at least three or four times. Speaking of which, the appreciation rate of the house in recent years has been
He made more money than he did by running a factory.
"Uncle San, you have been running this factory for many years, right?" Zhang Weidong asked as he walked.
"Yes, it has been more than ten years in the blink of an eye. You were still a child then, and now you are a university teacher." Zhang Guofu said with emotion.
"Yes, time flies so fast. By the way, Third Uncle, do you plan to keep running this factory at home like this? Aren't you going to buy a piece of land and build a decent factory?" Zhang Weidong sighed with emotion.
, and then asked.
Zhang Guofu glanced at Zhang Weidong in surprise when he heard this, and said: "Being a university teacher really has a different perspective. Don't tell me, I really have this plan. Your third uncle and I have also saved some money in the past few years, and now
The house is also valuable. If you take it to the bank as a mortgage, you can get a loan, or you can buy a small piece of land. I am also doing this recently, but after all, your uncle and I are just a small boss and don’t know many people.
Nowadays, many people are focusing on the land, how difficult it is! It would have been great if I had your vision a few years ago."
"Is it so difficult? Doesn't the country encourage small businesses like yours now?" Zhang Weidong asked in confusion.
"Haha, you still have too little social contact, and your thoughts are as simple as your parents. It is true that the country encourages it, but if there are no benefits in the pockets of those who are officials, they will be really kind-hearted.
Can you help me? In the current situation, as long as I buy the land and resell it, I will definitely make money. Do you think such easy money can go to ordinary people like us? If not, I can only buy it from others.
"Zhang Guofu shook his head and said.
"That's going to waste a lot of money, right?" Zhang Weidong frowned slightly.
"Then what's the solution? If the factory wants to develop, we can't stay at home all the time. Third uncle, I still have one thing to say, it's difficult to run an industry. It's better to be a local university teacher like you, with high income, reputation and status.
You don’t have to be like my third uncle who pays the money but still has to smile." Zhang Guofu shook his head again.
Zhang Weidong looked at Zhang Guofu shaking his head and sighing, and could only comfort him: "Don't worry about this, third uncle. I will help you find someone then."
"Can you help find someone?" Zhang Guofu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, then darkened again, and then waved his hands and said: "Forget it, not to mention that you just joined the work and don't know many people, you are the only one.
My temperament is not much different from that of your father. I really want you to ask someone to find a relationship, which is really embarrassing for you, so I might as well do it myself."
Hearing this, Zhang Weidong opened his mouth and was about to explain a word or two when Zhang Guofu's cell phone rang.
Zhang Guofu didn't say a few words when he answered the phone, his face darkened, and he said, "I know, I'll rush back right away." After that, he hung up the phone.
"Is there something going on in the factory?" Zhang Weidong asked with concern when he saw Zhang Guofu's bad expression.
"It's nothing, it's just that people from the safety inspection center came to check again." Zhang Guofu didn't want Zhang Weidong to worry, so he forced a smile and said.
"Does the Safety Supervision Office inspect production safety? Is there any problem?" Zhang Weidong saw Zhang Guofu's forced smile and asked again with concern.
"What a bullshit question! They are just looking for trouble!" Zhang Weidong asked again, finally making Zhang Guofu unable to hold back the anger in his heart.
"Looking for trouble? What's going on?" Zhang Weidong asked with a cold light in his eyes.
Zhang Guofu is his third uncle and his father's closest brother. How can Zhang Weidong allow others to bully him?
"It seems that your third aunt is too snobbish when it comes to this matter." Zhang Guofu said while quickening his pace.
Zhang Weidong frowned slightly, showing a puzzled expression. The third aunt was a bit snobbish. Zhang Weidong knew that, but he couldn't figure out how to have anything to do with the people in the safety prison.
Zhang Guofu didn't pay attention to Zhang Weidong's expression and continued: "Your third aunt has a distant cousin who used to be the deputy director of the safety inspection station. Because of this relationship, there have always been no problems in safety inspections. Of course, during the holidays, you should pay
None of the gifts from his cousin were left behind, but the bad thing is that your third aunt has such a relationship and didn't take care of the safety supervisor who often came to inspect with his cousin. Originally, this was nothing, anyway, she
Her cousin is the deputy director, and it is not her cousin who has the final say in matters. However, some time ago, his cousin was found to have problems and was dismissed from his post. The person who took his place happened to be the safety supervisor. Because he was dismissed
Removal is not a glorious thing. His cousin's family didn't mention it, and neither your third aunt nor I knew about it. Who would have expected that the safety supervisor would be very upset about us not taking care of his affairs. Your third aunt's cousin
After he was dismissed, he brought people for security inspection. It happened that I happened to be running the market in Nanzhou that day. Your third aunt probably didn't show much enthusiasm because of having a cousin as the deputy director, and she didn't treat me afterwards.
Gifts. In this way, the safety supervisor was completely annoyed, and he directly gave us a list of power outages and production rectifications. Your third aunt refused to accept it and said a few words to him. In this way, you gave us a
I'm so offended. After this incident, your third aunt naturally wanted to find her cousin, and only after searching did she find out that her cousin had been dismissed from his post."
At this point, Zhang Guofu sighed, and then continued: "After knowing this, your third aunt was very anxious, and I immediately rushed home from Nanzhou and personally came to apologize to the safety supervisor who was promoted to deputy director.
, but because he had some opinions before, and because your third aunt later contradicted him, his attitude was very cold and the gifts were not confiscated. We had no choice but to shut down the power and stop production for rectification. "
"Actually, this is not a bad thing. After all, making money is important, as is safe production." Zhang Weidong said with relief.
"Isn't that right? I thought so too at the time. At worst, I will come here honestly! But you don't know, Wei Dong. If these departments really want to punish you, they will always find a way. If you correct it, they will say no,
You have to continue to rectify it. This rectification and rectification process went on for a long time. He was probably afraid that he would get into trouble if he went too far. Last week he finally agreed to let us resume production, but he didn't expect it to happen again today!"
Zhang Guofu said angrily.
While talking, the two came to the entrance of Zhang Guofu's factory.
The door of the factory was wide open, and there were two uniformed safety supervisors standing inside. The man standing in front was leading the way, with a cigarette in his mouth and squinting his eyes in front of him with an arrogant expression.
There is a big no smoking sign hanging on the wall in front.
At this time, everyone in the factory had stopped what they were doing and stared at the two arrogant-looking safety supervisors with a hint of fear and anger. Zhang Weidong's third aunt, a middle-aged girl who was more fashionably dressed,
The young woman was staring at the man with a cigarette in his mouth with a face that alternated between clear and gloomy. I don't know why, but she was a relatively fashionable woman, and she had an obvious dust mark on her buttocks.
The atmosphere in the whole factory is a bit tense and depressing!
"Hello Pan Suo, hello, you are welcome to come for inspection." Zhang Guofu, who had been angry just now, immediately put on a flattering smile on his face as soon as he arrived at the factory gate, walked forward quickly, and greeted the man with a hand in his mouth.
The smoking man reaches out his hand enthusiastically.
Obviously this man with a cigarette in his mouth is the deputy director of the Pushan Town Safety Prison that Zhang Guofu mentioned before.
Zhang Weidong shook his head when he saw this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he followed.
