Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

  Chapter 383 The end is coming

  Li Weidong, after inquiring about Kang Guanghong’s identity as an authoritative man, made a decision to sponsor Kang Guanghong for scientific research funding, the purpose is to tie Kang Guanghong and the massage chair together.

  Massage seat is a kind of health care equipment after all, and whether it is health food or health care equipment, if you want to sell well, you must be able to fudge.

  In later generations of advertisements selling health products, there will often be an elderly person who looks like an expert, bragging about how useful the product is, and when using it, some foreign experts will be used to fill the scene.

  In fact, many of these so-called experts are actors, but even so, many ignorant consumers still believe.

  Li Weidong does not intend to use this deceptive routine. Even if he wants to fool consumers, Li Weidong has to find a real expert.

  The top professors of the first medical university are definitely more convincing than those actor experts, and they are more likely to fool the common people.

  A half million yuan per year, it is obviously very cost-effective to rub the aura of a top authoritative expert like Kang Guanghong.

  Kang Guanghong also understands Li Weidong’s intentions. The so-called “no merit” is not rewarded. Li Weidong paid 500,000 yuan for real money, nothing more than to use his identity and fame to advertise massage seats.

  However, Kang Guanghong is still willing to accept this exchange of benefits. After all, the research funding of 500,000 yuan is still very fragrant.

  With this 500,000 yuan, Kang Guanghong can do a few more small and medium-sized projects, at least if the research institutes under his hands want to open topics, there is no need to worry about funding.

  Scientists are chasing fame and fortune, not necessarily to become famous or to make money. Many people are really for their scientific research projects to bear fruit, and this inevitably requires a lot of financial support.

  Why not use your reputation for scientific research funding?

  What's more, when applying for research funding from the country, the country also needs to consider the reputation of scholars. It is definitely easier to apply for funding for scholars who are well-known than scholars who are not well-known. In this respect, scholars are also using their fame in exchange for research funding, which is essentially the same.

  Of course, if Li Weidong sells fake drugs, Professor Kang will definitely not ask Li Weidong’s 500,000 yuan in sponsorship fees. After all, he is a top authoritative expert, and he still needs a face, so he can’t endorse fake drugs.

  ……

  Sister Zhang riding a bicycle, slowly drove into the family yard of the transportation company.

  The road in the family yard is bumpy and has not been repaired for several years.

If it were a few years ago when the transportation company was prosperous, this situation would definitely not happen. At that time, even if the road in the family yard was uneven, the general affairs office would deal with it, but now the general affairs office can only get it. You don't need to count on basic salary, bonus or anything.

  In a transportation company, it is a good thing to have a salary to get it, but “unemployed workers” like Zhang Jie who belong to the tertiary industry can only receive a meager basic living allowance, barely enough to buy rice and noodles to survive.

  Due to the uneven road, Sister Zhang walked very slowly. She was worried that the tofu in the basket would be shattered.

  Stewed tofu with cabbage will be the dinner of Sister Zhang’s family. The reason why she eats such a vegetarian meal is mainly limited by economic conditions.

  Basic living expenses, really only enough for basic living, only 80 yuan a month, an average of two yuan a day, can eat cabbage tofu, already a bit overspend.

  Sister Zhang couldn’t help but recall the glorious days a few years ago. At that time, she was making car cushions in a clothing factory. Not only did she get salary and bonuses, but she also took care of the meals in the cafeteria. In addition, she worked overtime every day and had overtime pay. At that time, Sister Zhang's family could eat meat every day.

  Unexpectedly, since the transportation company took back the garment factory, the garment factory was like Wang Xiaoer during the New Year, and the year was worse than the year, and eventually went bankrupt. Sister Zhang and more than two hundred garment factory workers have become so-called "unemployed workers."

  But sister Zhang is not in a panic. After all, she is an employee of a state-owned enterprise, and the state will arrange work sooner or later. What's more, when a worker is unemployed, he can still receive his salary every month, but there is no bonus. Sister Zhang is doing housework every day, watching TV, and she has a leisurely life.

  However, this leisurely day did not last too long. As the transportation company dwindled, the basic salary became the basic living expenses of 80 yuan a month.

  After entering 1993, even basic living expenses began to appear in arrears.

  Sister Zhang’s husband is a truck driver for a transportation company. In the past few years, when the freight efficiency was good, truck drivers were highly paid jobs, and each made a lot of money.

  In recent years, more and more private car owners have participated in freight operations. Waves of price wars have made it more and more unsustainable for state-owned transportation units, and the freight business of transportation companies has plummeted.

  The freight could not receive the business, Zhu Shicong, the general manager of the transportation company, made a decision to sell all the trucks, which was tantamount to giving up the freight business entirely.

  Sister Zhang’s husband, because the trucks were all sold, and there was no car to drive, she became a jobless worker, and also received 80 yuan a month for basic living expenses.

  The result of selling cars is that those relatively new Dongfeng and second-generation Jiefang successfully found sellers, while those older generations of Jiefang were not willing to take over.

  Sold more than 300 trucks, and the transportation company repaid more than 20 million yuan in blood at once, which can pay those "unemployed workers" basic living expenses for several years.

  In addition to trucks, transportation companies have also sold a lot of assets in the past two years. The original dozens of tertiary industries have basically been sold out. The family property saved in the past 40 years has been sold by half. If the passenger transport business can be sold, it is estimated that it will also be sold for money.

  And this behavior of selling all of them has allowed the transportation company to obtain a large amount of funds. This money can continue to maintain the salary expenses of the employees, and the company's leadership team can continue to be bright.

  However, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is killing chickens and getting eggs.

   All sold out also has a sequelae, that is, a large number of "unemployed workers" are produced.

  Fortunately, unemployed workers have a basic living allowance. Although 80 yuan is not much, it is given for nothing. This is still safe for the time being, and no one is going to make trouble.

  Now Zhang and his wife only have basic living expenses to cover, and the quality of life is naturally greatly reduced. They only cost 160 yuan a month, and they can eat vegetables, tofu and pickles.

  In the transportation company, like Zhang Jie, it is not uncommon for both husband and wife to be in the transportation company, and this kind of family is also the most impacted.

It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. A few years ago, truck drivers who were high-income earners are now reduced to subsistence allowances. This change in mentality can be imagined.

  Sister Zhang’s bicycle is slowly riding in the family yard, but she sees several old colleagues from the clothing factory gathering together, as if talking about something.

  After seeing Sister Zhang, one of them greeted immediately: "Sister Zhang, have you gone out to buy groceries?"

"It's Xiao Wang! I didn't go shopping specifically, but when I came back, I stopped by and bought some tofu." Sister Zhang replied. She didn't want others to know that she went to the vegetable market and just bought it. I had this small piece of tofu, so I said it was on the way.

  Xiao Wang then asked: "Sister Zhang, over the electrical factory, do you plan to go?"

  "Which electrical appliance factory?" Sister Zhang asked with a puzzled face.

   "Sister Zhang, it seems that you don't know yet!" Xiao Wang opened his mouth and explained: "Our former factory manager Li established an electric appliance factory. Have you heard about that!"

  Sister Zhang nodded: "I heard that Accountant Wang, as well as Deputy Factory Manager Wang, have taken a leave of absence, and they are all there now."

   "Now that electrical appliance factory is starting to hire people to work! Are you going or not?" Xiao Wang said.

   "To make household appliances, you should have specialized skills? I can do nothing except clothes." Sister Zhang shook her head.

"People want to be able to make clothes, saying they are processing cushions. Sister Zhang, when Director Li was there, we were asked to make cushions. Now they are still processing cushions, and they are back to our old line!" Xiao Wang said.

Sister Zhang hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I heard before that after Director Li left the garment factory, he also took a leave of absence and went to do business as a self-employed person. Wouldn't it be true if he went to work with him? Become a self-employed worker?

  That's not okay. Our transportation company is a state-owned enterprise at any rate. We are now unemployed workers, but at any rate, they are also serious state-owned enterprise employees. They can't work with self-employed individuals. It's a shame to talk about it!

  And if we go to Director Li, and the transportation company will arrange jobs with unemployed workers in the future, wouldn’t it be our share? "

"Sister Zhang, you still expect the company to arrange work for us! How many years have passed since the garment factory has closed down, and we have been idle for so many years, how can anyone care about us? And now the transportation company's situation, we also know that it can sell All of them have been sold, so how can there be jobs for unemployed workers like us!"

  Xiao Wang sneered coldly, and then said: "Sister Zhang, I also blame me for not making it clear just now. This time Factory Manager Li recruited temporary workers instead of formal workers."

   "Let us state-owned enterprise employees work as temporary workers with self-employed individuals?" Sister Zhang's face changed slightly, as if she had been greatly insulted.

Xiao Wang went on to introduce: "If you say it is a temporary worker, it is actually going to help. There is no basic salary. The wages are calculated based on the piece rate. The production of a product is calculated as a piece of money. The key is that there is no requirement for commuting time. , Go as you want, leave as you want, no attendance. If something happens the next day, just say hello, and there will be no deduction of wages. How free!"

   "If you don't need to check attendance, and you can ask for leave at any time, that's pretty good!" Sister Zhang nodded.

  Married women of that era will definitely put the family first. This kind of work that can be late and leave early, and there are no restrictions on taking leave is indeed very suitable for people like Zhang Jie who need to take care of the family all the time.

  Sister Zhang then asked: "What is the piece rate salary? How much does it cost to make a cushion?"

   "Said it was fifty cents." Xiao Wang said.

   "So many? That day, if you made 20 pieces, it would cost you ten dollars, and the top salary would be a normal salary!" Sister Zhang said in surprise.

  If you can make ten yuan a day, except for weekends, you can work six days a week and you can make a minimum of 240 yuan a month. This is the average wage level of workers in state-owned enterprises in 1993 in small cities.

Xiao Wang explained, "This time, I didn't do the same kind of car seat cushion. I said it was a massage seat. It had to be filled with sponge. It is estimated to be more complicated. I will definitely not be able to do 20 pieces a day. Even if you can make five yuan a day, it is more than the basic living expenses of 80 yuan now!"

Sister Zhang nodded. She agrees with Xiao Wang's statement. If you can earn five dollars a day, the pressure in life will be reduced a lot. At least you don't need to save money on food, and you can buy meat from time to time to improve your life. .

  ……

   A knock on the door sounded, and Zhu Shicong shouted "Please come in", and Wang Haibin opened the door and walked in.

  In these years, Wang Haibin, as Zhu Shicong’s confidant, has moved from the purchasing department to the leadership of the transportation company. Now Wang Haibin is the deputy general manager of the transportation company.

  "Leader, here are two of those documents, please sign." Wang Haibin handed a stack of documents to Zhu Shicong, mixed with an expenditure of 300,000 yuan.

  As long as Zhu Shicong approves the 300,000 yuan, then Wang Haibin can get a rebate of 30,000 yuan from it.

  10% rebate ratio, which is quite high.

  Zhu Shicong trusted Wang Haibin very much, and he didn't look closely, so he signed.

  Wang Haibin continued; “Leader, there is one more thing to report to you, do you remember that Li Weidong set up an electric appliance factory?”

  Zhu Shicong nodded: "I heard that the electrical appliance factory is doing quite a lot of business! Then Li Weidong is going to be a tiger!"

  Wang Haibin continued; “Now, Li Weidong’s electrical appliance factory is digging people from our company!”

   "Dig people? Who do you dig?" Zhu Shicong asked subconsciously.

   "It is the unemployed workers in the original garment factory. Now many of them have gone to work in Li Weidong's electrical appliance industry! Li Weidong pays them." Wang Haibin continued.

   "There is such a thing!" Zhu Shicong frowned, and his heart suddenly became uncomfortable.

  Own employees, to work for others, it is natural to be unhappy as a leader, not to mention that this "other" is still Li Weidong who has an enemy with him, which makes Zhu Shicong's mood even worse.

  Wang Haibin said; "Leader, I think we have to take care of it. These people are going to work for Li Weidong, aren't they helping Li Weidong make money! We can't make this Li Weidong cheaper!"

"It's really outrageous to openly dig people from our unit! I have to report this bad situation to my superiors!" Zhu Shicong nodded and agreed, and then asked: "These people who go to work for Li Weidong will do everything. Have you stayed without pay?"

   "No, I heard that they are also temporary workers at Li Weidong's. They don't even have a basic salary. If they make a product, they count as the money for a product." Wang Haibin replied.

Zhu Shicong immediately sighed angrily: "If there is no suspension of pay, that is, it is still an employee of our unit, and the personnel relationship is also with us, so it can not be regarded as a digging! Even if this matter is reported to the superior, we have not. Reason!"

Wang Haibin came up with a bad idea: "Leaders, since they are all employees of our unit, they should obey the management of our unit! I might as well send a notice to prohibit employees of our unit from working with Li Weidong. "

Zhu Shicong is obviously more sober than Wang Haibin. He shook his head: "After all, our unit can't provide jobs for unemployed workers. If they are forbidden to go to other places for temporary work, what should we do if these people come to ask for jobs with us? Now there are no jobs in the company for these idlers!"

   "Then we can't let Li Weidong take advantage of us!" Wang Haibin pouted, and then said; "Otherwise, the basic living expenses of those who work for Li Weidong will be stopped.

  This basic living allowance was originally meant to guarantee the basic living expenses of unemployed workers. Since they are now employed as temporary workers and have a certain income, there is no problem with their basic living expenses, and there is no need for the unit to pay the basic living expenses! "

Zhu Shicong thought for a moment and nodded: "It is reasonable to do this. Now our transportation company is in a difficult time. Since some employees have the ability to find another way out, we don't need to stop them from making a fortune. As for this every month. The basic living expenses of 80 yuan should be reserved for those in need!"

  I have to say that Wang Haibin’s move is really a shame. Since Li Weidong cannot be punished, he should punish the laid-off workers who helped Li Weidong.

   And Zhu Shicong agreed with this suggestion, not really for those "people in need," but to use this as an excuse to add blockage to Li Weidong.

  ……

  Wang Haibin left Zhu Shicong’s office contentedly. Although he could not directly retaliate against Li Weidong, he indirectly caused trouble for Li Weidong, which is also worthy of happiness.

  In the corridor, I saw Zhu Shicong’s driver coming from a distance.

   "Xiao Zhao, is the leader going out?" Wang Haibin asked.

"No, the leader arranged for me to send people off!" The driver Xiao Zhao also wanted to please Wang Haibin. He lowered his voice and said: "The leader asked me to go to the capital and sent his daughter-in-law and grandson. Airport."

   "Go to the airport in Beijing, is this going to the far gate?" Wang Haibin also lowered his voice and said.

   "I heard that I am going to the United States to send my children to school." Xiao Zhao, the driver, replied.

   "Go to the United States to study? Isn't the kid still in junior high school? Didn't learn ABC, do you understand English!" Wang Haibin curled his lips.

  The next second, Wang Haibin suddenly realized that this may be just an excuse to study in the United States, but Zhu Shicong is actually arranging a future for himself!

  Wang Haibin is Zhu Shicong’s confidant, and he knows a little bit about what Zhu Shicong has done.

  For example, in recent years, a transportation company has sold a lot of assets, but there is not so much money on the account.

Sometimes tens of millions of assets have just been sold, but hundreds of thousands of basic living expenses are continuously issued to unemployed workers. They have to be in arrears for ten days and a half. Where did the money go? Although Wang Haibin didn’t say anything bad, he still thought about it. Know well.

   "Okay, I see! Go ahead!" Wang Haibin nodded, his originally good mood suddenly became worse.

  Zhu Shicong is the backer of Wang Haibin. Now Zhu Shicong has begun to leave a way for himself, indicating that he has smelled danger and is likely to run away in the future.

  Once Zhu Shicong runs off, Wang Haibin’s backing is gone!

   "Should I, too, leave a way for myself!" Wang Haibin said inwardly.

   "But where can I go? There is no place in the world, unless I hide abroad. But I don't have so much money to go to the United States like Zhu Shicong!"

  Wang Haibin walked into his office with a heavy heart. He suddenly felt that today’s 300,000 reimbursement form is too small and should be written for 500,000!

   Leaning on the chair, Wang Haibin began to think about what excuses he should use to make a fortune, which could be considered as leaving a way for himself.

   At this time, the knock on the door sounded, and it was the mail room that came to deliver the newspaper.

  "Mr. Wang, today's newspaper." The staff in the mailroom put the newspaper on Wang Haibin's desk.

  Wang Haibin read the newspaper unintentionally, and threw the newspaper aside.

  However, Wang Haibin did not notice that the front page of the No. 1 official media was an article like this:

   "A powerful ideological weapon for fighting corruption and building a clean government-re-learning Comrade XXX's important exposition on fighting corruption".
