Reborn since 1993

Chapter 9 A blessing in disguise

After coming back these days, Li Dongling is familiar with this place and this generation. He has thought about things to do, but no matter what he does, he can't escape the fact that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and he cannot do without the first pot of gold.

In this wild and reckless era, countless people get their first pot of gold in different ways. Some rely on deception, and some rely on a smooth tongue to defraud several cities and countless companies. , tens of thousands of people were deceived, hundreds of millions were taken away, and finally he was involved.

Of course there is another faction, just like Giant Boss Shi, Jinshan, etc., who build software companies, become technology heroes, gain fame and fortune, and are sought after by thousands of people.

The first pot of gold can sometimes be dirty and bloody, but it can also be very clean. If he could choose, Li Dongling hopes to get a clean first pot of gold. Once something like original sin is stained, it will be washed away for the rest of his life. It’s unclear!
  It is difficult to get the first pot of gold by staying at Wireless Factory No. 1 in Xicheng. Especially given the situation of Wireless Factory No. 1, the burden is too big. With people like Liu Jiande around, Li Dongling may not have any say even if he stays here for ten years. , Lao scalper Zhou Wenyan is a living example.

As for borrowing money from the bank, how much money can Li Dongling borrow based on his current status?

When I went to the Shangguan Town Component Factory, it looked like I had been cheated, but who dares to say that it wouldn’t be an opportunity!
  If the Shangguan Town Component Factory can be brought back to life, can Li Dongling get the first pot of gold through it? !
  Liu Jiande, who was applauding, looked at Li Dongling. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Li Dongling would "take the bait" directly, so there was no need for him to waste his words.

This time, Liu Jiande was not prepared to let any of the technicians who went to support the Shangguan Town Component Factory come back. Not only could he free up several formal staff, but he could also let these technicians go to Shangguan Town on their backs. Liu Jiande can still claim credit for the bankruptcy of the component factory.

The old director of Wireless Factory No. 1 would be retiring in a year or two. Liu Jiande still wanted to try out what it would be like to sit on the director's chair!
  Seeing that Li Dongling agreed, Xu Yiqiao called out a few more names, "Hou Yongzheng, Ning Panwang..."

But unlike Li Dongling, these people whose names were called by Xu Yiqiao refused to go to Shangguan Town Component Factory.

"I'm not going anywhere. I have worked in our factory for more than ten years. There is no way for me to leave now. Again, unless you, surnamed Xu, come with me, it's useless for anyone to say it!"

Hou Yongzheng was obviously a thorn in his side. He looked at Liu Jiande sideways. He was obviously not afraid of even Liu Jiande.

"I won't go either. If anyone dares to deduct a penny from me, I will lie down in front of the municipal government!"

Ning Panwang was holding his head, Liu Jiande had a headache looking at this aggressive attitude.

After calling several names one after another, they were all rejected. Xu Yiqiao became a little impatient and had no choice but to look at the old scalpers under him. Although he was a little reluctant to give up, he still shouted, "Zhou Wenyan, you go!"

"I?!"

Zhou Wenyan's face turned pale. He didn't expect that after working hard for so many years and working as a horse under Xu Yiqiao, with no merit but hard work, he would be kicked away by Xu Yiqiao today.

"Chief Xu, I..."

"What the hell are you doing? Zhou Wenyan, do you still want to do this? If you don't want to do this anymore, get out of here. If you don't do technical support, get out of the technical department. This small temple of the technical department cannot accommodate a giant Buddha like you!"

Xu Yiqiao cursed Zhou Wenyan loudly, and took out all his anger on Zhou Wenyan. Zhou Wenyan, who was scolded bloody in public, lingered for a long time, his face turned red, but he did not dare to talk back. He didn't even dare to go up and punch Xu Yiqiao.

Seeing the ashen-faced Zhou Wenyan, Xu Yiqiao knew that he had been dealt with, but just two people were obviously not enough.

Just as Xu Yiqiao was looking around, wondering who else to send, suddenly a smiling voice came out, "Chief Xu, let me go!"

As soon as this person spoke, three or five more voices came out, "I'll go too, add me!"

The person who spoke was Zhang Ao, and there were several others who signed up on their own initiative, and some were related households who were squeezed in. The others were afraid that they would go out and not come back, but they were not afraid. At worst, they would be transferred to other departments or state-owned factories in Pingyang City. , this time they went to Shangguan Town, they treated it as a holiday, and they had more freedom than at Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1.

Seeing that there were seven or eight people, Xu Yiqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Jiande, "Manager Liu, our technical department has already selected the personnel to support the Shangguan Town Component Factory!"

"You represent Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1. You should work hard when you go there and show that our Wireless Factory No. 1 is not afraid of difficulties and has the courage to take on the responsibility..."

Before the meeting ended, Liu Jiande also said a lot of high-sounding words, but Li Dongling was not interested in listening at all, and returned to Tongzi Tower with Zhang Ao.

"This Liu Jiande has no good intentions. Why did you agree to him? This old boy is full of evil!" Zhang Ao said to Li Dongling.

Li Dongling glanced at Zhou Wenyan, who was walking behind them with a mournful face, "It's a blessing in disguise. Going over there might be an opportunity!"

Zhou Wenyan couldn't listen to Li Dongling's words at all. He joined here when he started working, and it took more than fifteen years to go from apprentice to full-time worker.

Now he was suddenly kicked out. Although he was nominally doing technical support, Zhou Wenyan was an old scalper. It didn't mean he was stupid. Given the current situation of the wireless factory, he was eager to drive people away. How could he do it after he left? Get them back!

Zhou Wenyan originally thought that he would stay here for the rest of his life, until he retired, and maybe he would be re-employed as a disciple or something. But now the sudden change made him feel like the sky had fallen and he had lost his purpose in his entire life.

Not only him, but the employees of state-owned factories also felt the same when they were laid off due to bankruptcy. Their iron rice bowl was gone, and the belief in life that had supported them for decades suddenly collapsed. It was difficult to accept it mentally!
  After packing up their things, Li Dongling, Zhang Ao and others rushed to Shangguan Town Component Factory to report. Although Zhou Wenyan was reluctant and still sighing, he still went with him to report.

Zhou Wenyan can't do anything to break the pot. Unless he dares to throw away this iron job, he won't be able to bear Xu Yiqiao scolding him in front of everyone in the technical department today. If the factory gives him a whole factory Criticized at the conference, Zhou Wenyan was so embarrassed that he found a place to hide...

The Shangguan Town Component Factory occupies a large area, but it already looks a bit desolate at the moment. There is not a single cart to pull goods in front of the gate, but there are a few bicycles parked in the factory shed.

Hearing that Li Dongling and the others were here to provide technical support, the guard didn't even have a smile on his face and muttered, "What's the use of a bunch of child soldiers!"

Li Dongling looked at the electronics factory in front of him. It should be in a state of shutdown now and seemed very deserted. However, it was very clean, which showed that the leaders of the factory were pretty good at management.

"Director Zhang, this is the technician from Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 who came to support us!"

The guard pushed open the door of the factory director's office and shouted inside. "come in!"

A rough voice came out. When Li Dongling entered, he saw a big man sitting there, staring at them sharply. As soon as they saw this big man, Li Dongling and the others instinctively felt that this man must have been a soldier and returned from the army. of.

"Damn it, Liu Jiande is just fooling me like this. What's the use of sending a few technicians here? What I want is orders and money. Do I need these people?!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Xiaocheng burst out loud at Liu Jiande. He didn't care that Li Dongling and the others were right in front of him. After scolding him, he said, "Let's go, go wherever you want, just don't bother me by wandering around in front of me!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ao and several people related to him felt as if they had been granted amnesty. Without saying a word, they slipped out. A moment later, a motorcycle came and several people slipped away.

Li Dongling and Zhou Wenyan were left. After waiting for a moment, Zhou Wenyan couldn't help but ask, "Director Zhang, is there anything we need to do?!"

Zhang Xiaocheng raised his head and glanced at him, "I just said that now I want orders and money. The banks are chasing me every day to collect debts. All the factory employees have gone to my house for dinner. What do you think I want you to do?!"

"If you can get orders and money, you can ask me to kneel down and call you grandpa, or you can kick this thing like a ball.

Can't do it?
  Then just stay wherever it's cool, the cafeteria will take care of one meal a day! "

Zhang Xiaocheng was frothing at the mouth, pointing at his head and saying, Zhou Wenyan couldn't hold his head up and couldn't speak at all. How could he get orders, borrow money from the bank, etc.

"Director Zhang, can we go into the factory and take a look?!"

Zhang Xiaocheng waved his hands without raising his head, letting Li Dongling and others do as they pleased. Li Dongling didn't say anything more, pulled Zhou Wenyan and walked out.

Li Dongling walked in the component factory and saw that although work had been suspended, there were still people guarding the production plants, warehouses and other places. Although they were all sitting bored, it could be seen that Zhang Xiaocheng still put in some thought and thought. Looking forward to the day when work can be restarted.

I went in and took a look around. The equipment inside was pretty well maintained. This component factory had previously been responsible for the production of some parts for state-owned factories such as Xicheng Wireless No. 1 Factory. Now those factories are in recession. Shangguan Town Component Factory Even worse.

After arriving at the Shangguan Town Component Factory, Li Dongling basically stayed in the production workshop, warehouse and other places except for a meal. At first, Zhou Wenyan followed him, but later he couldn't figure out what Li Dongling was going to do, so he also followed the guard. Just like the people in the factory, they were sitting at the door so bored that they soaked up the sun.

Li Dongling has been in the factory for the whole day, and has gained an understanding of the equipment and technical level of the Yuanqi Factory. More complicated equipment cannot be produced here at all, and there is no money to produce it.

In the evening, Li Dongling and Zhou Wenyan returned to Tongzilou to rest. On the way, Zhou Wenyan complained to Li Dongling, "When will this day end!"

Li Dongling was riding a bicycle and accidentally looked up and saw the sky. The sky in this era was full of stars at night. At this moment, Li Dongling saw a light like a shooting star in the sky, streaking across the sky and disappearing into the night sky.

"Bah!"

Li Dongling suddenly squeezed the handbrake, which shocked Zhou Wenyan. He only saw Li Dongling looking at the sky. Zhou Wenyan also looked up, but he didn't find anything different from before.

"I know what the Shangguan Town Element Factory did!"

After leaving a meaningless sentence, Li Dongling rode away again, leaving Zhou Wenyan confused and not knowing what happened.

Early the next morning, Li Dongling arrived at the Shangguan Town Component Factory. As soon as he passed there, he saw Zhang Xiaocheng arguing with someone.

"You search, if you can find any money from me, take it all!
  There is a factory outside. You can just take whatever you like, or I can mortgage the factory to you!

If it's not enough, just take my life away! "

Seeing that Zhang Xiaocheng was acting rogue, the man became anxious, "What use do I need for your shabby factory? Director Zhang, that's not what you said when I applied for a loan for you before. You said it would only last for three months." It’s been almost a year now, and you haven’t paid back a penny. If you don’t pay back, I will be fired!”

Hearing this, Li Dongling understood that this person was from the bank and came to ask for the account today.

After working together for a long time, seeing that Zhang Xiaocheng was not able to make any progress, the man said helplessly, "You are cruel, Zhang Xiaocheng, just wait for the bank to go to court and sue you!"

Zhang Xiaocheng was happy when he heard this, "That's a good relationship. If you can really get the bank to take over this broken factory, you can even send me to prison for a few years. When I come out, I will give you a kiss. In this position It’s not meant for people to sit on!”

Looking at Zhang Xiaocheng who was slapping the table, this man was completely convinced, picked up his bag and turned around to leave.

"If there is anything else to say, let's talk about it together!"

After the people from the bank left, Zhang Xiaocheng put away his arrogant expression and asked Li Dongling with a tired look on his face.

“Director Zhang, I think it’s time for the Shangguan Town Component Factory to resume operations. If we don’t resume operations, this factory will really collapse!”

"What?!" Zhang Xiaocheng didn't know if his ears heard it wrong.

Li Dongling ignored him and continued, "What is most suitable for production here now is television satellite receivers!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaocheng still didn't understand, Li Dongling said directly, "Satellite pot!"
