"Xiao Tie, I'm very happy that you have such a big heart. I apologize to you for what I just said. I'm sorry, I shouldn't look down on you young people!"
Lao Wu stood up and bowed very formally. This frightened Tie Jun and he quickly stood up to stop him.
"Mr. Wu, what are you doing? I'm sorry, I spoke too hastily and offended you..."
"No...no, you said it very well, I'm quite touched, really!
I am 50 this year, and I have reached the age where I know my destiny. I am determined to pursue a career, but I have to have a chance!
Sit down, we are destined to be together, so I will chat with you a little more today, hoping to help you!"
Lao Wu sat down on Tie Jun. Tie Jun suddenly regretted that he should not be so sharp and aggressive.
"My father was a shoemaker and opened a shoe shop in Shenyang. I was born on the second floor of the shop.
That was 1940. At that time, the Japs occupied the three eastern provinces and established Manchukuo.
We have seven children in our family, and I am the fifth. After my mother gave birth to me, my nutrition could not keep up, so my father got some rice from the countryside.
Manchukuo stipulates that Chinese people can only eat mixed noodles and not rice. Eating rice is against the law.
As a result, this small amount of rice caused trouble. My father was captured and tortured by the Japs for three days. When he came back, he was covered with bruises and was dying.
Therefore, our generation grew up with hatred between the country and the family.
Driving away the Japanese and serving the country with all our loyalty has been our unchanging creed since childhood.
After liberation, our family came to Beijing. From that time on, I fell in love with research and invention.
Later, I was admitted to Beijing Electric Power School. While I was in school, my most respected teacher was labeled as a "youpai" and I was also punished.
After graduation, I was assigned to the Northwest Electric Power Design Institute and became a family there.
Not long after, we were transferred to Ningxia Power Plant to carry out infrastructure construction. Behind my wife’s back, I took the initiative to apply to go to the fuel transportation workshop, which is the dirtiest and most tiring place.
Seeing the poisonous effects of dust on workers, I began to research dust collectors. That was my first daily chemical invention.
There, I not only successfully developed a dust remover, but also a skin care lotion and acne lotion, which greatly relieved the mental pressure of the workers.
In 1978, I was transferred to Shijiazhuang Steel Plant as an environmental protection technician. There I developed a double return air cooler, which solved the problems of high temperature and ventilation.
After that, I was transferred to Shijiazhuang Machine Tool Accessories Factory, where my air cooler was put into production and quickly sold well to major steel plants.
It was also at that time that my Sanlu products were developed one after another.
In 1984, I served as the director of a small factory below and started producing Sanlu products.
In less than half a year, our small factory made a profit of 2.5 million yuan. At that time, I thought I would take off with more products.
Haha, unfortunately, I became a prominent figure, and countless guns were pointed at me. I was examined again and again, and summoned by the public security department again and again.
I'm very confused, and I don't even understand. I've obviously saved a factory and provided employment for so many workers. Why am I being suspended for investigation?
But this was not the worst part. At that time, I finally understood what misfortunes never come singly.
I was doing an experiment at home, and my 3-year-old son accidentally swallowed the reagent and got aplastic anemia, which is the leukemia Sachiko got in "Blood Suspense". Within two months, he...
I felt very guilty and blamed myself. At this time, my wife also left me angrily because her son was gone.
At that time, I completely lost confidence in life, and I thought of committing suicide while holding on to those bottles and jars..."
Uncle Meng sighed, lit a cigarette, and stuffed it into Lao Wu's hand. Lao Wu smiled and took two long puffs of the cigarette.
Amid the smoke, Tie Jun saw Lao Wu's eyes turning red. It could be seen that he was trying his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart.
"It was also at that time that a leader from Beijing who came to Shijiazhuang for a meeting found me and asked me to go to Beijing to treat his daughter.
When I asked about it, I found out that his daughter had acne and had sought medical treatment everywhere to no avail.
He heard about my acne lotion product by chance, and then he found me. I happened to be free, so I went to Beijing with him.
After using two bottles of acne lotion, his daughter's acne was basically eliminated, and the boss also knew about my situation.
So, in 1985, I was transferred to this welfare factory for the disabled. On May Day, the factory was officially renamed Beijing Sanlu Factory.
Lao Meng must have told you what was going on with this factory when I took it over.
I didn’t do anything, but I took on a foreign debt of 2.8 million yuan. Xiaotie, tell me, how can I operate if I don’t sell my patents?
In 1988, the annual sales of Sanlu Factory exceeded 100 million, and I finally turned losses into profits with Dabao.
Lao Meng also knows that I have become a celebrity, my products have won awards, I have received many personal commendations, and I have become a national model worker.
I thought that this time I would finally take off with my product. Hahaha, it’s so sad. I thought too much.
Last year, the daughter of a leader who was about to retire came to me and told me that she was going to the United States and asked me to give her 300,000.
I, Wu Xin, have been working for decades, and I have never received a penny of unconscionable money.
On the contrary, the 1.5 million from selling the patent was my personal money, and I invested it all in this manufacturer.
Also, I donated the bonuses that the state awarded me personally to the disabled people in the factory.
My monthly salary is more than 100 yuan, and I don’t spend much on it. After saving, I have more than 800 yuan.
I took out all the money and said to the child: 'This is all my savings, you can take it, it's public money, I have no right to touch it!'
The kid got angry at that time, threw the money directly on me, slammed the door and left.
I didn't take this matter seriously at all. I thought she must have come to me behind her father's back. Haha, I was wrong again.
Not long after this happened, at an industry conference, the leader criticized me by name.
They said that I did not obey the leadership of the party, violated laws and disciplines, and that I had received many letters of complaint from the masses, etc., a bunch of accusations.
Then, without formal appointment and dismissal procedures, without handover procedures, and without my signature, I was suspended and my salary was stopped."
Hearing this, Tie Jun was shocked and couldn't help but look at Uncle Meng. Didn't he say that he took the initiative to step down and engage in research and development? How could this be?
"Da Jun, it was my uncle who lied to you. I didn't want you to hear these infuriating things. Lao Wu was messed up by you today. Haha, I said it myself!"
Uncle Meng smiled bitterly and explained that Tie Jun felt even more guilty because he was so stupid and so boastful in front of such a selfless uncle.
"Xiaotie, can you understand my difficulties now?
The reason why I tell you so much is because I want to tell you.
In this life, people will encounter many ups and downs, many unknown traps, the road is difficult to walk, and things are difficult to do. It all depends on what kind of person you want to be?"
"Mr. Wu, I want to be a person like you. No matter how difficult the road is, no matter how difficult the task is, I will never be a black-hearted person!"
Tie Jun's heart became firm, Dabao, he has decided it, Lao Wu, he has decided it!
