Chapter 3 Siege
Listening to Zhou Wenyan’s outpouring of bitterness, Li Dongling was not surprised at all. Like other state-owned factories, Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 is now overcrowded, and every department is overcrowded. A lot of people.
People in the technical department are not necessarily all good at technology and design. There are also a lot of related households, like Zhou Wenyan, who are really good at technology and want to do something, but they become That cow and horse...
This leads to the fact that state-owned factories, like marriage, have become a besieged city. , many of the people inside, who are skilled, capable and ambitious, want to come out and go to the Special Economic Zone, Shanghai or even go abroad to work hard, while countless people outside are trying to get into state-owned factories, because The benefits are good and the salary is high, and the harvest is guaranteed despite droughts and floods. I don't know how much better it is than farming with your back to the sky and the loess!
The salary level offered to Li Dongling by Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 is 158 yuan per month. This salary level is already quite good in Binh Duong City. Many families in rural areas only earn dozens of yuan a month.
Of course, such wages are not enough in places such as Shanghai, Pengcheng, and Yanjing. Now the housing prices there have risen to more than 1,000 per square meter. As for the housing prices in Yazhou, Pengcheng and other places, It is extremely magical. This year it has soared to seven to eight thousand, or even tens of thousands per square meter. It is regarded as a curiosity in inland cities. Of course, it also stimulates countless people to go to these places to get rich overnight. .
"Li Dongling, your letter is from the west of the provincial capital!"
A voice came from downstairs of Tongzi. The postman riding a 28-inch pole shouted to the top of Tongzi at the top of his lungs. Name after name, in order to do this job, not only do you have good physical strength, but you also have to have a loud voice.
Hearing the voice of the postman, Tongzilou instantly became lively. Many people ran downstairs and asked if they had any letters. In this era, communication still mainly relies on telephone calls, telegrams, and letters. The cost is The lowest level is writing letters.
“If your name is called, it will be there, and if your name is not called, it won’t be there!” Facing a group of chattering people, the postman dealt with it with ease and accurately delivered the letter to the person who came to pick it up.
When Li Dongling took the letter and returned upstairs, Zhou Wenyan had already gone to the factory cafeteria to get food, leaving two meal tickets for Li Dongling in the factory cafeteria.
Although the salary of Wireless Factory No. 1 is not as high as that of large state-owned factories and municipal departments, there are movie theaters, hospitals, schools, and libraries, but there are still cafeterias, bathhouses, etc. .
Looking at the letter on the table, the envelope said "Yours sincerely, Dongling". The beautiful handwriting was so familiar to Li Dongling in his memory, even though the two of them had never had the seven-year itch back then. , they got divorced and never saw each other again for twenty years.
Looking at the letter, Li Dongling was a little hesitant. Finally, he sighed and opened the letter.
“Seeing a word is like a face, and a letter is like a meeting. I have joined the Thai Nguyen Provincial Television Station and become an intern reporter for the provincial station...”
The letter was written by An Ruxue, telling Li Dongling about her situation in the provincial capital. She had joined the provincial TV station. With her family background, it was only a matter of time before she became an official reporter for the provincial station. The letter also told Li Dongling about her office. Her phone number, as well as the newly purchased pager number, etc., and then asked Li Dongling to reply to her as soon as possible.
Of course Li Dongling understands An Ruxue's thoughts, which is to want him to return to the provincial capital. Although it is not stated in the letter, the meaning is obvious, that is, as long as Li Dongling wants to go back, An Ruxue will beg her father , transferred Li Dongling's work back to the provincial capital.
In his previous life, Li Dongling did return to the provincial capital, but the passion between young people could not support a marriage that lasted for decades.
An Ruxue is a very enterprising person. After her marriage, she worked in a television station and had a smooth journey. She was also sent abroad to study at a media university in a foreign television station, while Li Dongling worked in the Mechanical Design Bureau , but life is not that good. The position has not been changed for several years, and there are endless overtime hours.
When two people are busy, they will naturally spend less time together. In addition, there are disputes at work for various reasons, continuous quarrels and cold wars. In addition, An Ruxue’s mother, He was always unwilling to accept Li Dongling as his son-in-law.
The last three years have not passed, and the two of them died without any illness. Li Dongling did not end up with An Ruxue. After the divorce, they have not seen each other again for 20 years. The two of them have become like the past.
"Bah!"
Putting down the letter, Li Dongling lit a cigarette. With the cigarette butt flickering and the smoke lingering, Li Dongling thought about his current situation.
For Li Dongling, there is no practical difference whether he works at Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 or returns to the provincial capital and then enters the Mechanical Design Bureau.
In his previous life, Li Dongling lived a step-by-step and routine life after they parted ways. When he looked back, he realized that he had already gone through a lot of changes. But now, this era that he had never paid attention to, or even liked so much, had become one of the most important things in the world. The golden age among the Dai people.
As long as you are willing to bend down and pick up something, you can become a person with a net worth of millions or even tens of millions. This is the understanding of this era by latecomers, but only those who are in this torrent know what it is like now!
Flirting the metal lighter in his hand, Li Dongling's eyes suddenly froze. He had not thought at first, or had not paid attention at all, that even one lighter could sell tens of billions every year, becoming a Ten billion industry.
Now is indeed the golden age, an era full of barbarism and madness, but it can't help but make people remember it with nostalgia!
After deciding on a path in his mind, what Li Dongling needs to consider is the first pot of gold. Losing his face and returning to the provincial capital to find a home and seek help may be the easiest way. But Li Dongling, who has a deep understanding of the word "well-matched", knows very well what it feels like to rely on others. When the gap in status between the other party and the other party is too big, then every time he goes to his wife's house, he will not consciously lower himself. There is no such thing in his wife's house. No room for speech.
Even in the future, when one day he achieves some success, he will be mentioned that he relied on his wife's family to get up. As for what would have happened if he had not accomplished anything, Li Dongling had already experienced it in his previous life.
Shaking his head, Li Dongling still collected the letter. There were shortcuts to some roads, but the price was too high.
Not just trying his luck in the provincial capital, Pengcheng, and Shanghai, in this barbaric and crazy era, but full of miracles, in this land, Li Dongling believes that in Pingyang, in this Xicheng Wireless Factory, There will also be opportunities!
In the evening, Li Dongling also met Zhang Ao, who lived in the same room. Compared with Zhou Wenyan, who was still studying information in the middle of the night, Zhang Ao was much more chic, wearing hair wax and wearing a The most fashionable clothes of this era are worn out on dates.
As for work, promotion, remuneration, etc., Zhang Ao didn't care at all. His family worked for a supply and marketing cooperative, and it was also full of people, so he had to put Zhang Ao into Wireless Factory No. 1 to collect his salary.
"Cough!"
The next day, Li Dongling and Zhou Wenyan had just left the Tongzi Tower when a cough came, attracting their attention.
Looking at Wei Hongying who was drawing circles on the ground with one foot, she had wiped every piece of skin off the ground. She had obviously been waiting here for a long time.
“I’ll go there first!”
Zhou Wenyan looked at Wei Hongying in the distance and showed an understanding look to Li Dongling, “You are very quick to do this. Ah!”
"Well," Wei Hongying took courage when she saw Li Dongling coming over, "I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry for what happened yesterday, and I also apologize to you on behalf of Sister Qin. Sister Qin really didn't mean it. , some gangsters did harass Sister Qin before, so we..."
"I know!"
Wei Hongying's eyes widened, and she prepared a lot of excuses. , I didn’t expect to hear Li Dongling’s words.
"I owe you this time. If you have something to do in the future, just come here and I will solve it for you. I, Wei Hongying, never owe anyone anything!" Wei Hongying said to Li Dongling with confidence. .
Li Dongling looked at her and just shook his head. He wanted to ask her what the relationship between Qin Fang and Liu Jiande was, but it was during working hours and people were coming and going downstairs. Li Dongling didn't feel like asking more, so he just said, "There will be Opportunity! "
The office with the name of the Technical Department of Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 does not have much experimental equipment, but there are many people sitting there. The Technical Department here is regarded as an office position, with salary and bonus. , the treatment is not low.
What the technical department has to do is to ensure that the production lines that produce radios and black-and-white televisions, bought from abroad, are running normally without any problems, and that the products produced have a pass rate. If the standard is met, the task of the technical department will be completed. Many people who enter the technical department have never been on the production line. As for the development of new technologies, for the technical department of the first wireless factory, it does not exist at all.
After Li Dongling passed by, he saw that in the technical department office, the men were drinking tea and reading newspapers, and many women were knitting sweaters and doing housework. It seemed quite lively.
After finding a seat and sitting down, Li Dongling picked up a Pingyang local newspaper and took a look. The first page reported on it was the news about the boss of Giant Group, the most well-known in the country. Giant Hanka will continue this year. Last year was very popular, sales increased by 300% compared to last year, and the repayment is expected to exceed 30 million. At the same time, there is a picture of the Giant Building built by Mr. Shi. It says that it will be built to 70 floors. At the beginning of the construction, the building was still high. Only eighteen floors!
In addition to the news about Boss Shi, there are also news about Stone Company, Boss Mou, Jinshan Company and other companies. The above group of companies have transformed into millionaires and multi-millionaires in a few years. The news has made countless people feel itchy and hateful. If not, fly to Pengcheng and other places now and become rich overnight like these people.
Not only local newspapers and media in Binh Duong reported this, but media from all over the country basically did the same, constantly exaggerating the wealth myth of getting rich overnight. Focusing everything on "money" is the purpose of this era.
