Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 257 Make up your mind
Xiaoqing, Xiaodie and Qiaoqiao spend the whole day, unless it is their shift, integrating their workshop staff and busying themselves with training on the playground.

Their three teams, each with four to five hundred people, trained vigorously.

The three shifts are led by at least a workshop director and several section chiefs, who take turns to lead the people in their shifts for training there.

Qin Huairu's brothers were also training their troops there. Their men were all from the security department and had guns and cars, making them look even more majestic.

I don’t know when a bad trend started, but the girls who were doing exercise training started to carry a wooden stick in their hands.

That seems ridiculous!

...............

This is a turbulent era.

The changes in the city of Peking are also dazzling, with new changes every day.

In Xu Huizhen's hometown, the Yiquanyong Winery was acquired and changed into the Red Star Winery.

Specializes in the production of Red Star Erguotou.

The large yard for making soybean paste and the shop on Qianmen Street left by the Yan family were taken over by Qianmen Li Hongying's neighborhood committee and turned into the Red Star Soy Sauce Factory.

Li Hongying organized the old employees of Liubiju on Qianmen Street to specialize in the production of Red Star Soy Sauce and pickled cabbage dumplings.

Without this thing, the residents in the city of Peking felt their lives were a little lacking in love.

The smell of kimchi, soy sauce and paste began to waft through Zhima Hutong again, making Niu, who lives next door, want to move back to Nanluoguxiang.

The smell smells good at first, but it becomes unpleasant after a long time, especially to the neighbors living nearby.

The sign of the primary school where He Yushui studied was also changed to Hongxing Primary School.

Sha Mao's shrewd father also became a projectionist at the Red Star Cinema.

The signs of those dilapidated temples were changed to represent various institutions.

One of the courtyards was transformed into a national opera academy, and Mr. Hu went there to earn a high salary and continue to shine.

We all have to thank Comrade Zhang Kaiwu for these things, otherwise they would have to squeeze into Prince Gong's Mansion, where would they have such a spacious house to live in! ?
Dayi Yang Department Store Wholesale Company, an industry of the opposition forces, had long been confiscated and has now become the Red Star Department Store.

The good news is that the previous batch of girls became the first batch of sales comrades.

Whether it is the Agricultural Bank of China or the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Beijing, they have all changed. The Agricultural Bank of China is still the Agricultural Bank of China, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is still the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and the Bank of Communications is of course still the Bank of Communications...

In addition to the penicillin factory, those who are too busy during this period include the shop owners who make various plaques.

The names of the reactionary large family-owned businesses that were confiscated were all changed, and basically all began with a red star.

The only thing that has not changed is the Lou’s Iron Works and other small and medium-sized private enterprises.

Small business owners like Xiangyizhuang, Badazhuang, a clothing store, Badalou, a one-stop restaurant, Wang's dog skin plaster, and photo studio have nothing to worry about.

After they are approved, if there are no major issues, the original business model will basically remain the same and the time for public-private partnership has not yet arrived, so there will be no changes.

People in the countryside have welcomed good days, and it is estimated that they will have no problem having enough food to eat this year.

If you want to get rich, you are dreaming. According to the current population ratio, low grain prices will hurt farmers.

The villagers in Qinjiatun were given more than five mu of land per family, and it seems that they can eat meat next year! ?

Dean Wang’s son took his wife and children to Taiwan to build a hospital.

Alas! That's how things are. What you think is what you think.

.....................

The busy adjustment work in the penicillin factory was completed. When Zhang Kaiwu returned to the office, he found that the time on the calendar was already May.

When Zhang Kaiwu was ready to take a holiday, he found that there was no regulation for holidays. Even if there was a regulation, their penicillin factory could not take a holiday.

Zhang Kaiwu was very busy during this period, so he took a day off and sat in the office drinking tea.

Liu Lan, the young secretary who was busy reading and studying every day, finally found her task and made him a cup of tea.

Zhang Kaiwu didn't even take a sip of tea. When Alisa saw that he had finally stopped working, she ran over and said,

"Professor Zhang! According to the previous agreement, can you train another group of workers for us in the penicillin factory?"

Zhang Kaiwu asked doubtfully:

"We can't even train our own people now. When did I agree to train your employees? Aren't Annette and the others doing a good job?"

Alisa said:
"In Annette's factory, it's okay if there are no new employees. But every month, as long as there are new employees, accidents will inevitably happen."

Ha ha ha ha ha!
How could Annette take people with her for no reason? But this is actually a question of being a human being.

If you give enough money, will there be any problem?

Zhang Kaiwu asked tentatively:
"Alyssa! How much are you paying Annette and the others!?"

Alisa's face flushed, and she said unhappily:

"Their ordinary workers already get the top salary of 35 rubles, technicians get 50 rubles, and Annette gets 100 rubles. Their welfare benefits are also the best, the highest among the women in our area."

Zhang Kaiwu calculated that Annette, a factory manager, probably only made 200 US dollars a month, which is more than 5 million RMB! ?
This salary standard seems very high, but for girls living in Eastern Europe, it is only average.

An average family in Eastern Europe can live well on 30 rubles a month because they don't need to buy a house.

The girls had no problem providing for the family, but they couldn't afford to drink vodka.

According to what Zhang Kaiwu learned from Annette, the average worker's income was around 22 rubles.

He looked at her calmly and asked in surprise:

"Alisa! This salary standard is indeed a bit low. It doesn't even meet our standards here. Did you make a mistake?"

Alisa said:
"You're right. There are also huge bonuses! For such an easy job, their wages are three times that of other male workers."

That's more than 60 rubles? That's just average, right? Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:

"Alisa! You may have misunderstood the intensity of the work in this penicillin factory. You feel that the workers seem to have an easy time, but in fact, it is very demanding on the brain and they cannot be careless for even a moment."

Alisa said:
"But sometimes they can work perfectly, and sometimes problems arise."

That's what should happen, otherwise those girls would have been kicked out by you guys a long time ago! ? Zhang Kaiwu smiled and explained:

"There is also the issue of staffing, which is also an important matter. We have 300 people in our factory to meet the three-shift system. Annette and her team are short of staff, with less than 200 people. You also arranged for them to train new people, so problems are inevitable."

Alisa said:
"Professor Zhang! But we calculated that about 120 people would be enough to run the business perfectly. They have about 60 more people, so they can definitely bring in new people."

Zhang Kaiwu took a sip of tea and said, "The girls are digging a gold mountain for you!"

If Annette only releases a product once a month, he feels a little disgusting to continue explaining, so he said lightly:
"People are not machines, how can there be such a perfect thing!? The right thing to do is to add more people to the factory and give them more wages as an encouragement."

After not working for a while, Elisa's energy value dropped to 20 points. He smiled and said:

"For example, I was busy recently and didn't accompany you to play. Are you resentful towards me?!"

"There's no rush to train the workers. Let's talk about it later. Where's your cousin Sean? What is he busy with now?"

When Elisa saw that he did not agree to her request, she snorted angrily and turned away.

Her energy value dropped by more than 20 points, and only 10 points were left!!!

This woman was so mysteriously confident in herself, did she think Zhang Kaiwu would just lick her ass?!

After a while, Wang Tiantian brought him a new salary list and discussed the salary issue with him for a while.

The busy Wang Tiantian took the new payroll and went to the finance office to prepare to pay last month's salary.

………………

Finally, he quieted down and leaned back on the sofa.

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed Liu Lan who was making tea next to him, held her in his arms, and played with two small walnuts habitually, thinking about the intention of Elisa coming to see him in the morning.

Something is wrong today!

That Sean was rushing back at the beginning, and it has been almost two months now. Logically, he should have come back a long time ago. What on earth has he been doing?
Why did Alisa avoid talking about Sean? The year is 1949. Did Sean go to the Middle East?
Judging from the time, their lives are not easy either, which is quite interesting!

He wants to train a new batch of workers. Does he want to build a new factory in the Middle East?

Or the United States?
It's not impossible. Life is often more ridiculous than novels.

The things in the story all come from life.

What happened today aroused Zhang Kaiwu's vigilance. Alyssa said it was simple, and wanted him to train a group of workers for them. But he thought it was definitely not that simple.

………………

A gentle and soft little girl, she feels good to the touch.

The walnuts are not big and the quality is perfect.

Although there is not much flesh on the buttocks, the skin is smooth enough.

The energy value suddenly increased by ten points!
Zhang Kaiwu looked at Liu Lan, who was limp in his arms, in surprise. This was a piece of cake.

Just now he was thinking about something and accidentally played with the walnut for a while, and it already had 100 points!
Liu Lan's face was red, and she tried hard not to make a sound.

This girl acted very silly in the play, spreading the word about her relationship with Director Li everywhere, and she spoke without any secrets.

Is she really stupid?

Maybe not?

Even though they knew about her relationship with Director Li, wouldn't Sha Zhu and his group of people in the kitchen still look down on her and want to find something to get back at her?
She is a woman who helps in the kitchen and has nothing. If she doesn’t promote Director Li, how can she survive in the kitchen? ?
Just like Comrade Qin Huairu, just like most women, they need to survive, not just rely on a man to struggle.

She and Qin Huairu represent two tragedies.

Liu Lan is still young now, not ravaged by time, and has plenty of youth.

Zhang Kaiwu pinched her little face, gave her a kiss, and looked at her shyly.

Spring is not a good time for reading.

Half a day later, the frightened Liu Lan gave him a kiss clumsily, and mustered up the courage to try to respond to his enthusiasm.

The energy value increased by another twenty points.

This silly girl, if this is the case, Zhang Kaiwu tried to see if her energy value could be faster, and asked with a smile:
"Sister Lan! Since you are not married yet, I like you very much. How about being my concubine in the future?"

Liu Lan's energy value suddenly shot up to 500 points, which scared Zhang Kaiwu so much that he shuddered in his heart.

It seems that the less you read, the easier it is to obtain that energy value.

The girls' promises are verified with their whole lives, they are very innocent and they don't have any bad intentions.

It turns out that Liu Lan's fate is to marry an unreliable man, and she even has to find a way to support that man.

In order to get more supplies and some leftovers, he hooked up with Director Li.

However, the man she supported actually found other women. After Liu Lan was kicked out by Director Li, she lost her source of supplies, and the man in her house was also kicked out by someone else. So she packed up and got back together with the man.

Throughout the whole process, everyone was just trying to make a living and getting by. This girl didn't have high demands.

Zhang Kaiwu looked at her, waiting for her reply.

Liu Lan blushed and said excitedly:

"Okay! Professor Zhang! You will be my man from now on. As long as you don't drive me away, I will always follow you."

This means that you can hit or scold them at will.

That’s right! This girl still has her bottom line, we can’t chase her away!

Maybe if we kick her out of the house, the energy level will drop?
Zhang Kaiwu played with two small walnuts and said:

"Sister Lan! Don't call me Professor Zhang when no one is around anymore. Call me Brother Kaiwu in private!"

Liu Lan raised her head and shouted with a red face:

"Brother Kaiwu! I get it, I like you too!"

The girl was nice, Zhang Kaiwu rewarded her with a kiss, and the two of them were being affectionate with each other.

Comrade Qin Huairu ran in, saw this scene, and said with a smile:

"You are such a jerk Liu Lan! You seduce my man in broad daylight with your clothes on. Brother Kaiwu, you even hooked up with the secretary. How can you shut me up!"

Liu Lan was so scared that she lowered her head, straightened her clothes, and said fearfully:

"Director Qin! I didn't!"

He patted Liu Lan on the shoulder, comforted her and told her not to be afraid, then pulled her to sit down.

Zhang Kaiwu sat on the sofa and rubbed Huairu, saying:
"Hurry up and call Sister Huairu! Ask her for a big red envelope. Sister Lan will be the youngest in the family from now on, so you should teach her how to drink."

Brother Kaiwu was so strong that Liu Lan felt relieved and blushed as she shouted:
"Sister Huairu! Please take care of me in the future."

Qin Huairu smiled and took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to her, saying:

"Sister Lan! Be good! I was just playing a joke on you. Watch out, I will show you my unique skills."

Comrade Qin Huairu is very petty and has long known that Zhang Kaiwu has taken a fancy to this young girl.

Zhang Kaiwu held a cigarette in his mouth, played with two big walnuts and two small walnuts, and watched them practice there.

Both of them are talkative and have similar backgrounds. They both come from rural areas and have a common language.

The shy Liu Lan became familiar with Qin Huairu in a short while, and they were very close like sisters.

We made an appointment to go to her house and meet other sisters later.

Liu Lan's drinking skills improved rapidly.

Her little face was red, with excitement and happiness intertwined.

And that hint of shyness...

………………

Zhang Kaiwu continued to think about his own little thoughts. If a man does not plan for the future, he will have immediate worries. He was thinking about the future strategic layout.

He is not the kind of person who follows the crowd, and naturally has his own feelings and beliefs.

No one asks about the general's grave, but everyone knows about the actor's family affairs.

Zhang Kaiwu is unwilling to fall into this and become a tragic character.

The money in the bank now has no meaning to him at all, why not take it out and make use of it! ?
There is still one million rubles in the storage space, and if it remains there it will only continue to depreciate.

He thought for a long time, and then a cold wind blew and Zhang Kaiwu shivered.

Qin Huairu giggled and hugged Liu Lan, taking her to her office to play.

I saw sister Liu Lan running away shyly.

Zhang Kaiwu went to the factory, found Xiaojiu, drove a Willys Jeep, and took her to Citibank.

With the manager's warm hospitality, I deposited the one million rubles and also bought gold stocks.

He added Hu Shuangjiu's name to the company's account executor and took her to Shichahai.

Xiaojiu jumped off the jeep and thought about some things in the newspaper. Her expression was not very good. She was a smart girl.

Zhang Kaiwu sat down on the shore of Shichahai Lake and lit a lonely Camel cigarette.

After thinking for a long time, he smiled and said:

"I am going to complete a research project on how to remove the toxic side effects of erythromycin. I have actually done it and have achieved some results."

Xiaojiu frowned and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Actually, I have a lot of troubles, so Xiaojiu, please help me. Go to the United States first and register your company there. Then, set up a pharmaceutical company there and build a pharmaceutical factory in Borneo."

"There is no other way. I need your help now!"

Xiao Jiu said faintly:
"Is it because of the current situation?"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Yes! It's also for your safety, and more importantly for our ideals and beliefs, and for the convenience of running a factory."

"You know about the blockade of American technology and machinery and equipment, and even the blockade of Eastern Europe. I want to build a global pharmaceutical company, so that I can do whatever I want in the future."
