Chapter 656 Who wears shoes?
"Watch your words, Xia Zhemin! Don't make your incorrect remarks in public."
Jiao Yaqiang slowly looked at the surprised eyes of everyone around him. He stood up and faced Xia Zhemin face to face.
He is not tall, more than half a head shorter than the tall Xia Zhemin, but his determined aura faintly overwhelms the angry Xia Zhemin.
“Incorrect remarks? Haha~, it’s really ridiculous!”
The angry Xia Zhemin sneered and asked Jiao Yaqiang sarcastically: "Which sentence I said is incorrect?
What do you think you, a top microelectronics student in UCLA, can do after returning to the mainland? ? To study televisions? Radios? Washing machines? "
"No, you are wrong, even radios Don't come here to study it."
Xia Zhemin's tone became sharp: "After you return to China, you will be assigned to a certain research institute and beg people who are completely ignorant of technology to give you a Opportunities before and after,
This is no longer five years. Now that you have returned to China, you can only act as a second-in-command and spend your youth in endless wrangling."
"."
Li Ye's hand was held by Wen Leyu's hand, holding it tightly.
But Li Ye did not stand up immediately, because the people around him were all aroused by Xia Zhemin's words. Li Ye had no suitable reason to refute that although it was deliberately exaggerated, it was true. the objective environment of existence.
Just like Dashen Ni, after he returned to China from overseas, he successfully started Lenovo. Liu Lenovo also seized the leading rights in technology research and development on the grounds that "we must survive first".
So how can Li Ye convince Jiao Yaqiang and others that mainland companies will give them enough rights to develop along their ideas?
However, Jiao Yaqiang was not completely overwhelmed by Xia Zhemin. He held his head high and said in a low voice: "Zhemin, what you are talking about is only a few phenomena, not all, and have you forgotten the oath we made?
We came to the lighthouse not to stay here to earn dollars.”
“.”
Everyone around was silent.
Because they basically said similar oaths before leaving the mainland to come to the lighthouse.
This oath may be a thorn in some people's hearts, but in some people's hearts, it may be just a piece of paper to wipe their butts.
"Hehe. Hehe"
Xia Zhemin looked at Jiao Yaqiang funny, as if he had heard the best joke in the world.
“Oaths from the past? Which one are you talking about?”
Xia Zhemin said funnyly: “Since 1977, I have not been admitted to college for two consecutive years. The old and young men all forced me to give up the college entrance examination and to work in the fields, because there was one less laborer in the village, which destroyed production
I knelt on the ground and swore to them that I would not delay the work in the fields, and that after I was admitted to college, I would give them two yuan each."
"I worked day and night. Working, studying day and night, I am better than all my peers I had a lot of work to do, but they still laughed at me and said I was wishful thinking."
"Later, I was admitted to Qingdao University and studied abroad in Dengtao. The old and young men in the village gave me a letter Letter, guess what they wrote in the letter? "
"They asked me if the promise of two yuan per person was too little. Now people in the village don't have TV sets."
Xia Zhemin seemed to He smiled like a maniac and said: "After I arrived at Qingdao University, I ranked first in the exams every year, but when it came to selecting the qualifications to study abroad, I always failed. I swore a blood oath again. Then I came to the lighthouse."< br>
"No, you are second, Jiang Minzhi is first."
"."
Jiao Yaqiang repeated: "You have never surpassed Jiang Minzhi, you are second, she is first." "
Xia Zhemin pursed his lips and looked at Jiao Yaqiang for a while, then waved his hands and smiled, as if he didn't want to be the same as Jiao Yaqiang.
“Then let me ask you, Lao Jiao, now that I have returned to the mainland, how can I fulfill my promise?”
Xia Zhemin said mockingly: "People's greed will skyrocket. I promised them two yuan each, and now everyone asks me for a TV. I vow to fight for life
But I want How to fight? Do I have to work day and night with a salary of several hundred yuan to make those people get what they want? "
"Why?"
"Why are we all technical talents, but we have different fates? I am now at Boeing. I only need to work five days a week and have one month of annual leave every year, but I can get hundreds of times the salary. Why is this?"
“This is because only the civilized world of Lighthouse respects our personality and realizes the value of our lives.”
Xia Zhemin said angrily again: "So you tell me, Lao Jiao, why should I go back to that backward, ignorant, and unreasonable world? Why should I"
"Pa~ "
A large bowl fell at Xia Zhemin's feet. The soup and water in it covered his trousers and shoes, and suppressed his indignant voice back into his stomach.
Li Ye stood up, pulled Jiao Yaqiang back, and stood opposite Xia Zhemin.
“If you want to fart, go to a toilet first, don’t smoke people here.”
"."
"Oh, why did he talk like that?" "Yeah! It's not very civilized."
After Li Ye finished speaking, the people around him became quiet at first. After a few seconds, the noise started. Many people felt that Li Ye's words were too rude.
Xia Zhemin was furious and immediately yelled angrily: "What are you talking about? What did I say wrong? Doesn't Lighthouse work five days a week? Doesn't Lighthouse give us an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars? ?”
What Xia Zhemin said is true. In 1926, the legendary American car manufacturer Henry Ford stipulated that employees have Saturday and Sunday as rest days and implemented a 40-hour work week.
Later, driven by religious groups and trade union organizations, starting in the 1930s, the eight-hour day and five-day work week took shape and was implemented in Western countries such as the United States and Britain.
The popularization of the five-day work system in China was decades later than in Western countries. At this time, there was indeed no prayer in the mainland.
But Li Ye said coldly: "Lighthouse does work five days a week, but this benefit is not something you are born with. It is the ancestors of the Lighthouse people who worked sixteen hours a day. For future generations."
"."
Xia Zhemin was stunned for a moment, unable to answer the question for a moment. He now enjoys the benefit of "predecessors planted trees and later generations enjoy the shade". He can't say that he is also the grandson of the ancestors of the lighthouse, right?
But Li Ye said with a smile: "Don't you believe it? Then you can ask your Dengta friends around you. Seventy years ago, the Dengta factory had a working hour system. Is there anything in it? Child labor?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible?"
Xia Zhemin subconsciously began to deny it. After all, "child labor" is absolutely black material and is incompatible with the civilized world. .
But some of the surrounding lighthouse people, after listening to the translations of the people around them, none of them refuted Li Ye.
Li Ye said calmly: "We are all cultural people. You can check it out for yourself. A hundred years ago, the most developed country on the planet was not a lighthouse, but an empire on which the sun never sets."
"Two hundred years ago, the empire on which the sun never sets was not the number one in the world. The number one was the Qing Empire."
"."
"Oh~"
The people around him started making noise again, but this time, no one disliked Li Ye for being rude.
Li Ye took a breath and said in a deep voice: "One hundred and fifty years ago, in those factories with black smoke on the outskirts of London, there was a fourteen-hour working day."
"And at that time, The Qing Dynasty was about plowing in the spring and harvesting in the autumn, two seasons a year, and resting at sunset.”
“A hundred years ago, the lighthouse used a sixteen-hour work system and child labor, surpassing the sun never setting and becoming the world’s largest GDP”
“Now you only see the wealth of the lighthouse Now, you only see his civilization, but did you see it when their ancestors gritted their teeth and fought hard?”
"Look at the rise of Japan and South Korea in recent years. Which one has not made greater efforts than others to create better survival opportunities for future generations?"
"All the civilizations you see today, They are all based on the suffering of our ancestors. You don’t want to If you don't want to endure this suffering, you will never be able to keep up with the pace of the forerunners."
In fact, the phenomenon of "rolling" has been around for a long time. The Qing Dynasty was swept to death before the sun set, and America was rolled again. The sun never sets until death, and the other Volume King behind him... is about to reach adulthood.
Li Yeba raised his voice and said sternly to Xia Zhemin: "If you want to break your oath and stay at the lighthouse, that is the path you have chosen. If you want to covet wealth and earn dollars, I can't do it." How about you?
But the son does not think the mother is ugly and the dog does not think the family is poor. Don’t stop those people with conscience who forget their oath like you”
Li Ye suddenly stretched out his palm and lightly slapped Xia Zhemin's face, making a "pah, pah, pah" sound.
“The motherland has spent precious foreign exchange to give you the opportunity to further your education, but you insult her, spurn her, and despise her like a mad dog. That’s not okay!”
“.”
< br>Xia Zhemin was fooled by Li Ye's "big pot stickers".
Although Li Ye's force was very light and did not leave any marks on his face, under the gaze of No. 10 people, this was an unbearable shame and humiliation.
But when he was so angry that he wanted to risk his life with Li Ye, he was scared away by Li Ye's knife-like eyes.
When a scholar encounters soldiers, he cannot explain why. Xia Zhemin feels that Li Ye is just a barefooted bandit soldier with a machete who wants to hit him at any time.
So, Xia Zhemin forcefully offered up his backer: "I'm warning you, this is not the mainland, this is a lighthouse, and I will sue you."
Li Ye smiled Smiling, he casually took out a business card from his pocket with Elena's name and phone number printed on it.
“Call my lawyer! I am very happy to help you deeply understand the class rules of this civilized world, so that you can clearly understand which class you belong to.”
"."
Xia Zhemin was confused.
Isn't he "a barefoot soldier?"
Who is wearing shoes?
