Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 184 The reason why provincial and municipal leaders came to visit!

"Xiaowen, I heard that you made a fortune in the United States?"

"No, no, who did you listen to?"

"Last month our factory had big leaders from the province come to our factory. Later it was said that you made a lot of money in the United States and became rich."

"It's nothing. I was dragged to play basketball because I was too tall. How can I make a fortune just by earning that salary every month?"

"No way? I heard that you are now worth several hundred million? But, how much is a few hundred million? How much better than a million?"

"No, no, it's all nonsense outside. Don't believe it. I really just play basketball and compete in competitions. The salary is just that, but it's better than in the factory."

"Really? They say you have become a big star in the United States. It's spread like wildfire."

"We can't talk about big stars. It's just that there are more people watching during games."

"So that's it."

Although these leaders did not believe it, they still left unwillingly.

In the evening, even colleagues who had a good relationship with Su Guoliang left one by one, intending to leave space for their family to get along, but Lao Lu and his son were still reluctant to leave.

"So what? This is several times more than your salary."

As soon as his son Su Wen came back, he was surrounded by a group of workers, colleagues, and young people in the factory, and he couldn't even take off his clothes.

They kept crowding around Su Wen, chattering and asking all kinds of questions. Most of them asked him if he was rich and how much money he made.

Su Wen responded to them one by one just like he did with his fellow workers.

A group of people, seeing that he denied it one by one, seemed not to be hypocritical, gradually died down and lost interest, and many people began to leave quietly.

Life at that time was carefree, with a lot of children playing in the corridor.

Now I actually have my own unit.

"Is that so?"

"If you make two to three hundred yuan a month, do whatever you can."

When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Su Wen's return alarmed all the leaders in the factory, and they came to visit one after another.

"As those people just said, provincial leaders came to express condolences at home, and then at the end of last month, the factory arranged for this apartment." Su Guoliang explained with a smile: "We also felt baffled at the time."

Su Wen was a little surprised.

Just when Director Lu was so angry that he was about to give his son a slap in the face, Su Wen was able to talk to his parents.

Lao Lu glared at his son fiercely, "There were so many people just now, do you want Xiaowen to admit it in front of so many people?"

Of course, Lao Lu and his son didn't know what they were thinking, and they were reluctant to leave. They just sat on the sofa and talked to Su Wen and Su Guoliang.

"What are you going to do? I'm just a small contractor now, what do you think?" his son replied unconvinced.

"But he doesn't look like he's telling lies."

It's just that when these leaders talked to Su Wen, they all asked him about his situation in the United States.

"You really haven't learned a thing about human nature?"

At that time, he was just a junior high school student, living in Tongzilou on weekdays.

An hour later, almost half of the house was gone, and only colleagues with whom Su Guoliang got along well on weekdays and the young driver were left.

"What the hell do you know?"

Su Guoliang and his wife received them again with flattery.

Especially when he learned from these people that some of the provincial leaders came to visit his home because of him, he immediately denied the idea of ​​'making a lot of money'.

"Dad, why are you still here? Haven't you heard that Su Wen is not a big star at all, and he doesn't make much money?"

Lao Lu and his son still stayed.

On this day, Su Guoliang's home was particularly lively.

We share a bathroom with people on the same floor when taking a shower or brushing our teeth. We cook and cook in the hallway. All we smell is the smell of oil fumes.

"Who is as stupid as you? You made some money, and you wish the whole world knew about it?"

Because there were so many people asking questions at all times, Su Guoliang and his wife were left in the cold and couldn't say anything, so they could only chat with Su Junjie.

Su Wen exchanged greetings with the Lu family and his son for a while, and then asked his father, why did he move here?

He remembered that before he left, the foundation of this unit had not been dug yet, and there was still a piece of grass under his feet.

After learning that Su Junjie was his brother's child, Su Guoliang and his wife were surprised and excited. They simply ignored Su Wen and talked directly to their nephew.

Su Wendu explained everything one by one and brushed it off.

It wasn't until Su Guoliang introduced the Lu family and his son to him that he realized that the two whisperers were neighbors.

"Look at what you're doing." Lao Lu rolled his eyes at him angrily, "Don't you think all the little contractors are just running errands for people?"

Are you kidding? I just played a few games and made some money, but even the provincial leaders were alarmed. If the true situation was told, would they be able to live in peace in the future?

Finally, even his son became impatient and urged his father to go home.

"You, you," Lao Lu whispered to his son with an expression of hatred, "What have you been doing in Shencheng for the past two years?"

"What the hell"

As the saying goes, if you are poor in the busy city and have no one to care about you, if you are rich in the mountains you have distant relatives.

Su Wen didn't dare to expose his true family background at will.

In this day and age, there are so few families with television sets that they can even count their entire factories on one hand.

Factory director’s house, factory secretary’s house, deputy factory director’s house, deputy secretary’s house

There are only four companies, and there is not even a workshop director.

Why?

In addition to the fact that televisions are expensive, costing thousands of yuan, and it would take a family ten years without food or water to earn one, it is also because they are too scarce.

In this era, supplies are so scarce that a family that owns three major household appliances is considered a wealthy family.

TV, refrigerator, sewing machine.

These are the so-called big three.

Lesser ones, radios, sewing machines, bicycles

Su Wen's family didn't even have a radio, let alone a television.

To buy TVs, washing machines, refrigerators and other home appliances, you need to queue up to get tickets, and these tickets are not cheap, often costing two to three hundred.

Moreover, even if you have money, you may not be able to receive it.

Too scarce. This situation did not get better until the late 80s and early 90s, when the domestic home appliance industry took off.

At that time, as long as you had money, you could buy it.

The state has also lifted various restrictions on ticket purchases.

Just because it is not easy to buy, it is also unaffordable.

Su Wen's home at this time had almost no appliances, and the walls were bare except for the clock. At most, there were a few photos and certificates from Su Wen's elementary school and junior high school.

Precisely because it was difficult to buy, he came back in a hurry and didn't buy a voucher. Su Wen didn't buy anything big on this trip.

Even when he returned to Shen City, he did not choose to buy a car and drive back by himself because the journey was too far.

How could he bear to drive alone for the whole journey, day and night?

Moreover, the roads are not easy to walk, most of them are dirt roads.

For safety reasons, he still chose to take the train and bus back.

Otherwise, buying a Santana of this era and returning to the factory will definitely cause a bigger sensation, and it will be a true homecoming.

In this day and age, a Santana costs over 200,000 yuan, which is not cheap.

Now his parents' salary combined is only over a hundred points.

In an era when televisions were so rare and there was no Internet, provincial and municipal leaders were able to come to the grain and oil factory to visit their family in person.

Su Wen somewhat underestimated the news channels of domestic leaders at this time.

It's just that he still has some doubts about the purpose of these leaders' arrival.

Although reform and opening up had already taken place at this time, it was only implemented as a pilot project in several coastal cities in China and was not developed into inland cities.

Although Fangcheng is not inferior to inland cities, it is just a small seaside town in a corner and not taken seriously.

Shencheng, Yangcheng, Daocheng and other seaside cities were developing in full swing at this time, but they could not affect the small city of Fangcheng at all.

On the way back, this small town was as quiet as a chicken.

Development is not their turn at all.

At this time, provincial and municipal leaders have the courage to attract investment?

"Tell the truth."

Su Guoliang naturally knew that the provincial and municipal leaders did not come to visit him because he was handsome. They must have other motives. Therefore, after thinking about this, he quietly and seriously asked: "Are you studying in the United States, or are you studying in the United States?" Are you really going to play basketball?"

"Is what those leaders said true?"

He didn't have much objection to his son playing basketball instead of studying. He just thought that since he could get paid for playing, his son should play for the United States, just like the national men's basketball team reported in the newspaper. Public meal.

Eating from the government means that the state pays for it, which is an iron rice bowl.

He supports his son's entry into the system at a young age to get an iron job.

Su Wen didn't intend to hide it from his parents, so he opened his arms and admitted, "I went to play basketball."

“Playing for the U.S. national team?”

Su Guoliang asked with a frown.

If there is any dissatisfaction with his son playing basketball, it is why he went to play for the United States instead of playing for his own country.

Seeing his serious expression, Su Wen knew that the other party was wrong, so he smiled and explained: "It's not the US national team."

“But the club there.”

Su Wen roughly explained the club and the NBA league.

After Su Guoliang listened in detail, he understood somewhat.

Through Su Wen's description, his inner concept is that his son in the United States is like playing for a certain factory in China. He is playing for a certain boss's factory, competing with basketball teams from other factories, and being led by the boss. wages.

Thinking of this, Su Guoliang secretly glanced at the Lu family father and son who were watching them on the sofa not far away, and asked in a low voice: "So, how much salary does your boss offer you?"

"Did you really make a lot of money?"

"Well, how should I put it?" Su Wen scratched his head and took a serious look at his father and mother. When he saw that the two elders were looking at him with a strong desire for knowledge, he replied sheepishly: "It doesn't count as making a lot of money. "

"It's just a few million a year."

"Hundreds a year."

Su Guoliang was shocked and exclaimed, almost repeating all the words out loud.

Fortunately, he quickly realized that the Lu family and his son were present at this time, so he stopped talking in time.

But the eyes of the second elder were full of shock.

Especially Su Guoliang, after Su Wen personally admitted it, the way he looked at the Lu family and his son changed. His waist straightened instantly, with a trace of undetectable amusement in his eyes.

"Did you hear that?"

Although Su Guoliang shut up in time, the Lu family's son still heard the truth. He proudly said to his father: "What if he goes to the United States?"

"It's only a few hundred dollars a year. Is it far worse than me?"

Lao Lu was also stunned at this time, and did not hear what his son was saying at all. He kept staring at Su Wen, trying to identify the authenticity from his face.

Unfortunately, Su Wen never looked towards him, so he couldn't observe anything at all.

Only Su Junjie, who was sitting among the father and son and Su Wen's family, almost laughed out loud.

"You are all exhausted from the journey. Are you hungry? I'll cook some food for you."

No matter what her husband did, after receiving her son's personal recognition, Li Guiying became very confident. She stood up naturally and greeted Su and Wen.

Su Junjie and Lan Jieying shook their heads in embarrassment and refused, but Su Wen stood up with a smile and said, "Okay."

"It's been a long time since we've had the food you cooked, mom. We're so hungry."

When Su Wen left and entered the kitchen with his mother, Su Guoliang was still sitting, preparing to chat with his nephew.

Who would have thought that Su Junjie suddenly reached his ears, and the first words he spoke shocked him again.

"Uncle, the millions Wen Tsai just mentioned are in U.S. dollars (the exchange rate at the time was about 1:2)."

"If converted into RMB, it would be one or two million."

Su Guoliang instantly understood why provincial and municipal leaders came to his door.

Forex!
