Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 425 The TV Factory Reopens
In the days that followed, the sister-in-law became the baby of the family.

Housework such as washing clothes and washing dishes were all covered by Liu Yunchang.

Da Lanzi gets up before six o'clock in the morning and goes to the market to buy fresh fish. The sister-in-law is too old, and the doctor has to tell her to pay attention to nutrition.

Wang Weidong also often bought some low-priced sheep bones from the cafeteria and took them back to make up for his sister-in-law. Of course, Wang Weidong did not hide this matter from Yang Maixiang.

Instead of being angry, Yang Maixiang brought supplements such as malted milk from her mother's family, which made Wang Weidong very pleased.

Family conflicts are the most difficult to deal with, especially in families with two sons. The sisters-in-law are often at loggerheads. Even if they live in peace, there is nothing wrong with it. A sensible girl like Yang Maixiang is rare.

Especially Yang Maixiang knew that Wang Weidong was busy with the TV factory during this period, and she took care of all the housework and the like.

So Wang Weidong lived very freely during this time, and the planning work of the TV factory was progressing smoothly.

The only thing that puzzled him was that every time he met He Wenhui when he went out, He Wenhui always seemed hesitant to speak.

His own daughter-in-law was in the house, so naturally Wang Weidong couldn't pay attention to her.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, it came to a morning one month later.

Several cars appeared on the road near Ningzhou Lanhua TV Factory.

Liu Shitou, in his thirties, had just washed his wife and children's clothes when he heard the noise from outside and hurried out the door.

When he saw the car parked at the gate of the TV factory, his eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted to the second-hand man who was squatting at the door and brushing his teeth: "Your second-guess, is this TV factory going to reopen or what?" land?"

"Reopen? You're thinking about it! There's nothing in the TV factory, so why reopen it!" Er Laizi curled his lips and spit white toothpaste foam into the ditch by the roadside, then turned to Liu Shitou and said, " Brother Shitou, you, it’s better not to think about good things, follow me to the city to move briquettes to the briquette factory.”

Erlaizi and Liu Shitou used to be temporary workers in a TV factory, and they could earn 25 yuan a month, enough to support a family.

Later, the TV factory was closed, those regular workers were transferred to other factories, and temporary workers like them were dismissed on the spot.

Erlaizi's family is fine, his parents both have jobs, and he is not married, so he can go to a briquette factory to do part-time jobs so that he can eat and drink without worrying about it.

Liu Shitou is not the case. He has an old father in his 70s and a child who has just started school. Fortunately, his wife works as a waiter in a restaurant in the city and earns 15 yuan a month to barely make ends meet.

Since then, Liu Shitou has become a housewife, and his daily work is cooking, washing clothes, and so on.

Men can't earn money, and they can't even lift their heads. Liu Shitou also wants to go to the briquette factory to move briquettes with the second-hand son, but his lumbar spine has been injured and he can't do that kind of heavy physical work at all.

Hearing Erlaizi's words, Liu Shitou let out a long sigh and said, "You go first, I'll go to the TV factory later to have a look, there are so many cars, there must be a big commotion up there."

"You man, you are so stupid." Seeing that Liu Shitou would not listen, Er Laizi curled his lips, got on his bicycle and left the chaotic shanty town.

Liu Shitou didn't have high expectations for the reopening of the TV factory, but the floor of the house was swept, the clothes were washed, and the old father had eaten, so he had nothing else to do.

"Let's go and have a look, in case the TV factory really reopens!"

Because the bicycle was taken away by his wife, Liu Shitou was able to walk to the TV factory. Although his home was not far from the TV factory, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning when he got there.

Liu Shitou took out a tattered towel that was hung with silk from his pocket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and at the same time looked far away at the gate of the TV factory.

He just glanced at it, and then he was stunned. The signboard at the gate of the TV factory was wiped clean.

Liu Shitou remembered clearly that after the TV factory was closed, some workers who were dissatisfied with the closure got the ink used by children to go to school to smear the signboard black.

They are like a weak ant, they have no way to resist the decision of the above, they can only vent their dissatisfaction in this seemingly naive way.

What makes people rub their eyes even more is that the entrance of the TV factory has been cleaned up completely, where it used to be full of fallen leaves.

Is the TV factory really reopening?
Liu Shitou took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and walked slowly towards the factory gate. When he was two or three meters away from the factory gate, he was stopped by someone.

"Comrade, there are leaders inspecting work today, don't hang around here."

The gate guard, Uncle Qin, came out of the sentry box. When he saw the unkempt Liu Shitou, he thought it was those Qingpis fooling around.

"Uncle Qin, you don't know me anymore. I'm Liu Shitou. I used to pass the quality inspection. I used to get off work late, so I troubled you to open the door for me every day."

Liu Shitou hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it over.

Uncle Qin also recognized Liu Shitou at this time, waved his hand and said, "So it's Shitou, it's not like you don't know that I don't smoke cigarettes."

As he spoke, he took out the dry pipe pole from behind and waved it twice.

Seeing that Uncle Qin still recognized him, Liu Shitou hurried forward and asked in a low voice, "Master, why have so many leaders come to our TV factory, is it going to be reopened?"

"Hey, kid, have you been staring at the TV factory?"

Uncle Qin waved at Liu Shitou, beckoning him to come closer, and whispered into his ear: "I can only tell you this news, the higher-ups have decided to restart the TV factory, and the new factory director has Here we are, and now we are leading the comrades above to visit!

After the equipment and production lines are brought back from the south, the TV factory can officially start work.

If you kid wants to go back to the TV factory, this is a good opportunity.

I heard that the new factory manager is a courageous leader this time. If you perform well, you may be hired as a regular employee.

"

Hearing this news, Liu Shitou was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground. He held Uncle Qin's hand and said, "Thank you for your letter. If you really return to the TV factory, I will definitely buy you two bottles of good wine." .”

"It's okay to drink good wine. The new factory manager is strict with me. I don't dare to drink anymore."

If it were someone else, Liu Shitou would have already turned around and returned home, ready to wait for the TV factory to release recruitment information.

But Liu Shitou knows very well that once the TV factory recruits people from outside, there will definitely be a large number of unemployed people.

He doesn't have any advantages at his age, so prepare ahead of time.

The large conference room of the Lanhua TV Factory.

Wang Weidong had already discussed the relevant details with the comrades sent from above, and the two parties stood up and shook hands.

It's a pity that there is no camera, otherwise a precious historical picture may be left behind.

"Comrade Hong Chang, you should know that this restart of the TV factory, we made a promise with the leaders above." Director Wang urged on behalf of the city.

Wang Weidong smiled heartily: "Don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the leaders in the city, and I promise to sell our Orchid TVs all over the country, and even go overseas."

"Complete the tasks assigned above, and then recruit more workers to solve the employment problem in the city. As for overseas sales, we have to take our time." Director Wang took a breath and said slowly .

Just kidding, how can he not know the current level of TV in China?Even the most famous Panda TV can only be sold well in China, and people in the coastal areas are even more proud of owning a TV from Xiaori Country.

Can Lanhua TV Factory change this situation?

After some chatting, Director Wang led the team and left the TV factory.

Wang Weidong walked out of the meeting room and waved to the deputy factory director standing outside the door: "Deputy factory director Niu, you are the former director of TV, and you know the situation of the TV factory best, so I will show you around. "

Deputy Director Niu nodded hurriedly: "Director Wang, you are welcome. You can just call me Lao Niu from now on. Go this way. Did you see that the two-story building over there is our production workshop?"

The two walked slowly in the courtyard of the TV factory. Deputy Factory Director Niu was full of respect for Wang Weidong, no matter your words or attitude.

He was originally the director of the TV factory, under the factory director and deputy factory director, he can be regarded as the third person, and he also has more than ten subordinates.

However, after the TV factory was closed, Deputy Director Niu was transferred to the timber factory. The leadership team of the timber factory had already been prepared, and Director Niu was relatively straightforward, so he was pushed out to be the director of the labor union in less than half a year.

Although the level has not changed, it can only be responsible for distributing some toilet paper and helping unmarried workers to make bridges.

Deputy Director Niu himself was also an ambitious person, but fell ill within two years because he was not reused.

Now it is more in line with the wishes of those people in the timber factory. Not only did they send a special person to condolences, but the factory manager also personally told Director Niu to take good care of himself and go to work when his body is fully recovered.

Good guy, Director Niu, who was lying on the hospital bed at the time, almost gasped in anger when he heard this.

He had already made plans to retire from the timber factory after he recovered from his illness. Although it seemed absurd to retire at the age of 40, it was not without precedent.

Just when he was about to submit the application for sick leave, the city called him over and told him that the TV factory was about to reopen and he needed to go back to be an assistant minister.

Director Niu himself was an ambitious person, so he agreed without hesitation, and tore up the application form for sick leave when he got home.

When he returned to the TV factory, he discovered that the new director was a young man in his 30s, and this young man was a cook before.

Of course, Director Niu didn't mind these things. As long as this young man can set up a TV factory, even if he is a primary school student, Director Niu will call him uncle.

The TV factory was built under the supervision of Director Niu, and there is a deep relationship between them.

"Let's stop here today. The reopening of the TV factory will definitely face many difficulties. At that time, you, the old director, will need to work harder."

"Don't worry about this, even if my old Niu risked his life, he would still set up a TV factory!" Deputy Director Niu assured, patted his chest.

After more than two hours of introduction, Wang Weidong also got a general understanding of the situation of the TV factory.

The status quo of the TV factory is better than expected. The factory buildings and supporting facilities are complete, especially the power system is well maintained under the careful maintenance of the concierge Mr. Qin. Just pull the customized production line from the Southern Machinery Factory and install it. up.

The biggest problem now is to recruit workers for training as soon as possible.

If you want to find coal workers, mechanics, and even train drivers in Ningzhou City, you can find them.

But it is not so easy to find careful and dexterous electronics factory workers who can work on the production line.
The education level of workers in this era is generally relatively low. Even those with elementary school education, after entering the TV factory, they have to undergo strict training before they can work.

Thinking about these things, Wang Weidong rode his bicycle and walked outside the TV factory.

After walking a few steps, he was stopped by a man, who was naturally Liu Shitou.

He did not go home after learning the news of the reopening of the TV factory, but prepared to sit on the sidelines.

Liu Shitou is a smart man, knowing that once the news of the TV factory's recruitment spreads, there must be countless applicants.

Compared with those young people, he has no advantage at all, with a low level of education and an old age.

"You, you are the factory director of the TV?" Liu Shitou looked Wang Weidong up and down with an expression of disbelief.

In his opinion, if one wants to become a factory director, one must be an old comrade, so that he can hold the place.

This guy turned out to be a brat, how could this work?
Wang Weidong frowned and said, "I am the new director of the factory. Comrade, do you have anything to do?"

Liu Shitou didn't bother to worry about his age anymore, he quickly took out his cigarette and said with a smile: "Comrade director, my name is Liu Shitou, and I am the quality inspector of the former TV factory. No, I heard that our TV factory is going to It reopened, so I wondered if I could report my name first.”

"Quality inspector?" Wang Weidong took the cigarette and said with a smile, "Then do you know how to inspect the produced electronic products?"

Liu Shitou said: "Of course I know. Before I entered the TV factory, I was photographed studying in a TV factory in Beijing for two months. Not only did I know how to inspect, but I also knew a lot about the production line."

Liu Shitou's words awakened Wang Weidong, yes, before the production line is produced, he can send people to other TV factories to learn.

After the workers come back from studying and have a foundation, they will be trained according to the production manual of the later electronics factory.

Then the problem of the workers will be solved.

Seeing that Wang Weidong didn't speak for a long time, Liu Shitou thought he felt that he was not good enough, so he said shyly, "Director, don't worry, although I am a little older, my eyesight is very good, and I will definitely not delay things."

Wang Weidong nodded and said, "It's not because of this. The recruitment committee of the TV factory will release the news in a unified way. Then you can come and sign up. As an old worker with work experience, you will definitely be given priority."

Liu Shitou was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, then I won't bother you. By the way, my name is Liu Shitou."
