National Tide 1980.

Chapter 37

In May 1980, the most sensational event was probably the publication of a letter signed by Pan Xiao in "National Youth" magazine - "The road of life, how is it getting narrower and narrower".

This article, which reflects the distress and confusion of the misguided youth, almost disturbed the tranquility of the Republic all summer.

In the end, a big discussion with more than 6 letters and contributions was detonated.

It can be said that the hearts of young people all over the country are attracted and moved by this fictional character, real emotions, and dilemma.

Countless people offered suggestions for "Pan Xiao".

He even offered his sympathy and love by sending packages and money to him.

In fact, the reason for such a strong social repercussion is not so much the precious sympathy of our young people.

Rather, it is more appropriate to say that in this context of the times, this letter made the young group connect with themselves and produced a sentimental effect.

Although not everyone is going the wrong way.

But in such an era of unprecedented change, almost everyone has encountered difficulties and hardships that are unimaginable to people today.

In this process, the confusion of life tests and the helplessness of being in adversity are the same for everyone.

The same is true of the big guy's urgent need to re-find his social position right now.

To put it in real words, it is not easy for everyone to live in the present moment.

It's just that it's more difficult for young people who have strayed, especially girls who have gone the wrong way.

Ning Weimin also felt the same way.

A very real problem is that he can't do what he really wants to do, and he is so frustrated.

To be honest, even the idea of ​​being a taxi driver was Ning Weimin's helpless secondary choice.

To be honest, what he really expects is to rely on the capital in his hand to quickly work as an individual and become a son-in-law.

He is not afraid of worldly prejudice, and has more sufficient knowledge and ability.

He absolutely believes that as long as he does something casually, he will definitely make a lot of money.

And in this year, as long as the cash in his hand turns.

Not to mention stamps, he can buy more good things.

In the future, he will become the richest man in Beijing, and become a collector like "Mr. Ma".

Even surpassing the "Jianghu status" of "Mr. Ma" is not difficult at all.

He really wanted to see how he put on a few random things, and made Teacher Ma so greedy that he was reluctant to let go.

Unfortunately, no.

He never imagined that the reform was already in its third year, and the policy restrictions on self-employed individuals would still be so great.

Take this month, for example, on May 5, the Beijing Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce just issued a notice.

Said to relax the policy on self-employed industrial and commercial households, and agreed to unemployed young people and retired workers to engage in self-employment according to social needs.

But how much has the specific business scope been relaxed?

In fact, in addition to shoe repair, bicycle repair, haircut, sewing and other industries.

The only new additions are house repairs, shoe shine, tricycle transportation and letter writing.

Look, it's all hard work and craftsmanship.

Pure retail is still the realm of speculation.

So it's totally useless.

The door to the commodity economy has only opened a small gap, and he can't squeeze through it for the time being.

If you don't want to endure it, you have to endure it, and if you don't want to wait, you have to wait.

As for the two job options offered by the district that are considered quite good by others, he doesn't like either.

Workers in a "polar bear" food factory?

boring!He respects the workers, but not as much as people these days.

And too far from home, too long working hours, and heavy workload.

It must be uncomfortable to stay in the workshop every day.

Although it is convenient to drink soda, the wages are also higher than other factories.

Can he still care about his current economic conditions?

It is said that the "Polar Bear" production line is still left over from 20 years ago, and now peeling oranges is still done by hand.

When the orange production season arrives, the oranges in the factory can be piled up like a mountain, and the workers' hands can be shattered.

Is this a bad thing?

Of course, the factory has the ability to build its own house and distribute it to the employees, which is of course a good benefit.

When can he qualify as a newcomer?

Besides, who is he?Is it the one who waits for the rabbit?

As long as the private housing policy is loosened, he will definitely take the initiative to buy two sets of courtyard houses to pass the addiction of the big house.

Go to Chongwenmen Hotel as a waiter?

It is indeed much easier than being a worker, and it is also very close to home.

Even now the service industry is very emboldened.

Not only do you not have to give customers a smile, you can even have fun with customers.

But in the final analysis, the service industry is the job of serving people, and the nature of the work has already decided this.

It doesn't sound good.

He remembered a French writer in which book he wrote about it.

It doesn't matter to say that people are poor and poor, and it is absolutely impossible to show their faces and serve people.

Because over time, those superior people will no longer treat you with equal eyes.

So from this perspective, it is better to pick up junk in the service industry.

Of course, our republic is now full of heroes, regardless of their age.

Our people are not philistine like Westerners, and we have our own unique interpretation of a person's success.

But he is destined to become famous in the future, and he will be on the international stage to fool foreigners.

One day he will be on the cover of Time magazine with his panda.

Just being picked up by those foreign paparazzi for such a background is always a bit disheartening side effect.

He also wants Soros and Buffett to pay big bucks for the chance to have lunch with him.

This will undoubtedly screw up the business and affect his worth.

In a word, for Ning Weimin, these two jobs are just the same, and they are not very interesting.

But what can he do under the current social environment?

I can only do it casually first, and make do with it for two years.

He has to wait until the business ecology has evolved to allow him to do something personally before he can really show off his strengths.

Hey, that's called a hero useless.

To actually put Lao Tzu's foot on the colorful auspicious clouds, a speculative genius that shines brightly on the top of his head.

Forced to become a working class, and had to rely on part-time jobs to make a living.

God is safe, woohoo, sad...

There is no doubt that in Ning Weimin's heart, he is as bleak as a flower, and as gloomy as a glass of wine.

It's just that they are afraid to compare each other.

His pretentiousness, and the lack of happiness in his well-being, he quickly regained consciousness through an unexpected encounter.
