1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 312: That Little Glimmer of Light

Chapter 312 A Glimmer of Light (End)

Everyone was stunned, and then they started shouting, "Miss Li, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. It's too much trouble. It's too formal!"

Many people here are regular customers of Mo Mo Bai Chao. After getting along with this cold-faced but warm-hearted manager for half a year, they have become familiar neighbors... As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and people in Texas are never stingy with their enthusiasm for the neighbors they recognize.

Besides, humans are social creatures after all, and after the generosity just now, the relationship between everyone was brought closer by something very mysterious. Not to mention the old customers, even those who were not very familiar with each other were willing to lend a hand.

Li nodded and waved the document in her hand. "First of all, the company has signed a contract with DZ City. After the spring, the asset management company jointly operated by the drilling company and the Dongying Command will officially move into the suburbs of the northern city... By then, they will invest in the construction of several industrial parks, as well as dozens of living areas and market areas... It is estimated that the number of new people next year will not be less than 30,000."

"The company knows that many of our customers are small business owners, and there are many skilled craftsmen... So the company would like to ask everyone to help enrich the content of the living area and the market area;"

“So if anyone is confident in their products and craftsmanship, you may as well hand over your products and works to us store managers… As long as your products and works can pass the company’s review and evaluation, the company will immediately provide corresponding support and help you open a store in the new park!”

As soon as the words fell, everyone suddenly became noisy.

These days are different from later generations. It is normal for people who grew up in a basically self-sufficient ecosystem in traditional rural areas to have good skills. However, in the tide of the times, most people cannot support their families with these skills that will amaze future generations. Even if some lucky ones have worked hard to save up the start-up capital and have achieved good development in the early stages, they will eventually disappear from the public's sight due to their lack of ability to cope with the treacherous and ever-changing market changes.

"Miss Li, are you talking about that large piece of wasteland in the north of the city? Thirty thousand people will go there after the spring? Is that true?"

A diner asked in disbelief, which means that the person who said this was Miss Li. The drilling company was also a giant in their eyes. If it was someone else, he would have spat at them long ago.

What a joke, do you think people are grains of wheat? You want 30,000 people to go across that barren wasteland?

Before Miss Li could say anything, the girl from the Inspection Department spoke up: "6 is just a conservative number. The asset management company jointly established by the Drilling Company and the Dongying Command has promised to invest no less than million yuan in DZ City this year... With such a large investment amount, there will be at least to companies setting up factories and offices nearby. Add to that the tertiary industry projects that will be relocated from Dongying, and you can imagine how many people there will be by then... is just a conservative number. Even if it doubles or triples by then, it won't be a strange thing."

6 billion! ?
Everyone was so frightened that their breathing almost stopped. 600 yuan was an unattainable number for them, let alone 6 million yuan; in their cognition, the yuan level was already the ceiling of mathematics.

"Well, Miss Li, I'm good at making sugar figures...Does that place want someone like me?" The old man in his fifties looked at Miss Li cautiously.

"Of course there's no problem. Cousin Chen, everyone knows how good your sugar man making skills are. As long as you are willing to go over, there will be absolutely no problem!" Miss Li immediately gave him a reassurance.

"Manager Li, although I help others with odd jobs, I can make donkey rolls, and I do it quite well. Can I go over there?" A woman about her age asked with a little expectation.

"No problem. As long as your taste is good, the ingredients are not shady, and the hygiene is guaranteed, you can submit an application." Miss Li

"Miss Li, I can carve gourds. It's a skill passed down from my ancestors. Can you carve them and sell them when you're done?"

"Manager Li, I know how to make straw juice. Can I pick some and sell them to you?"

"Manager Li, I can make furniture. I'm an expert at carpentry. Can I make some furniture and sell it to you?"

……

Seeing those hopeful eyes, Miss Li's mood improved a lot: "Yes, yes, it's all right; as long as you think your product is good, you can make samples and bring them here. The company will then conduct a unified evaluation and review... Even if you want to open a fried chicken shop or a braised food shop there, as long as the company thinks your product is good, you will be welcome to move in."

"In fact, as early as last month, dozens of our store managers submitted an application to the company, hoping to buy several stores near Momo Baichao;"

"Firstly, more and more people come here to eat, and the current seats are not enough; secondly, we found that many people actually have good skills, but because they don't have the money to open their own shops, and it's not easy to make a living in the city, everyone is busy all day long for three meals a day, so they have no chance and no courage to try;"

"Originally, we, the store managers, planned to wait for the shops next to us to be sold, and then free up some space for everyone to set up temporary stalls. We would collect a small commission from the profits, which would not only save us rent, but also reduce the pressure of large expenses. When the business becomes well-known, we can move out and be self-reliant. The freed-up space can then be used by others to try their hand at business."

"But the company's idea is obviously better. When the industrial park starts to be built, the flow of people there will not be low, and the employees there will not be short of money. As long as you have good skills, it will be easier to do business."

Although they had long known that the short southwestern woman in front of them was a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart, they couldn't help but feel a little sad when they heard that the reason these store managers jointly applied to the company was more to try to find them a job to make a living.

They are not fools. Whether it is catering or other commercial projects, what matters is popularity. Therefore, if there is no queue to eat, expanding the store will do more harm than good.

It would be fine if the idea was proposed by a small restaurant owner who has no idea about running a business, but MoMo BaiChao and MoMo BaiZha are from the same family, and the two stores are opened next to each other. Judging from the attitude of MoMo BaiZha, which is to only open two business windows no matter how many people are in the queue, even an elementary school student would not believe you if you say they don't understand the ins and outs of this.

"Miss Li, thank you for your kindness, but... let's forget about this. I don't know about others, but I can't even afford a new piece of clothing for the New Year, let alone going there... It's okay to buy those things, but the rent... Oh, I really can't afford it." The man who claimed to be very good at carpentry sighed a little frustrated after his excitement.

When everyone heard this, the hope in their eyes suddenly dimmed.

Yes, these days the difference between having a store and not having a store is huge. Without a store, no matter how good your products are, you can't sell them at a good price. Although the employees have money in their pockets, they are also very picky. If you don't have a store, they may not even bother to take a look at your products.

Seeing this, Miss Li laughed and said, "Don't worry, I told you that as long as you pass the review, the company will support you in this area, and the support will be considerable."

After speaking, he glanced at the notification document and concluded awkwardly: "Although I can't tell you the details, the company has a rating system for projects entering the industrial park. Projects with a rating of B or above may even receive an investment of more than 20 yuan from the company, and the share requirement is still very small; projects with a rating of A or above can receive an investment of more than one million yuan... But no matter what level it is, as long as you can pass the company's review, you can enjoy free rent and half-price water and electricity in the first year;"

"In addition, the company will have a special department and staff to provide improvement suggestions for your products and operations, so that you can start your business in the shortest possible time... I dare not say anything else, but everyone can see our company's ability in this area. This is something that many companies would love to have. If you can get the favor of our Section Chief Yang and let him give you some advice, then you will be very lucky!"

At this moment, not to mention everyone else, even the two people in white uniforms who were sitting quietly at the door opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

Is there any good thing like providing people with shop space for free?

The key is……

There are also people who provide special guidance, and if you are lucky, you can even get instruction from Section Chief Yang?
Oh my goodness, compared to the latter, the free rent thing is simply not worth mentioning, right?
Nowadays, how many units want to cooperate with Section Chief Yang or get guidance but cannot? With the guidance of this person who can be called the God of Wealth, why worry about not getting prosperous?

This kind of good thing, which sounds enough to drive people of this era insane, might be like a fantasy in other units.
But when it comes to the drilling company, it suddenly seems reasonable... This southwestern unit is notoriously willful and clear about gratitude and resentment. With the original one hundred villages as an example, it doesn't seem difficult to understand that Section Chief Yang would give these diners a huge fortune just because they are so loyal tonight.

Thinking of this, the two men in white uniforms subconsciously loosened their arms around the young man's arm... Section Chief Yang was notoriously eccentric, and his power and background were astonishingly great. Although it was part of his job, it would not be a good thing if he accidentally became the innocent victim.

Don't think this is impossible. Dezhou is only a county-level city at present. The boss of their immediate superior is just at the same level as Yang Mo. Although the local authorities and state-owned enterprises are two separate lines... you can't help but think that the city attaches great importance to this ruthless man who spends 6 million at a time!

Moreover, no one would want to offend someone like Yang Mo, who has a lot of money but a clear sense of gratitude and resentment in his work style. Even if you have no work dealings with him, you will never do such a stupid thing... Those who have done him a favor will receive his support at all costs, and those who have a grudge against him, even if he himself will not make things difficult for you, but those who want to get close to him will definitely do their best to mess with you.

What the two men in white uniforms could figure out, the diners could naturally figure out as well. While they were excited, many of the diners hung their heads in frustration.

Not everyone has a skill that can be shown off. Many people have no other skills except for their strength.

Noticing the frustration of many people, Miss Li quickly clapped her hands and said, "That was just the first thing I needed your help with... There's a second one too!"

When those people heard this, they all looked up. The hope that had been gradually fading away showed signs of rising again.

Miss Li showed the second notice in her hand: "The second thing I need your help with..."

"It's like this. In order to clean up the wasteland in the north city as soon as possible so that the asset company can start work as soon as possible after the spring, the company directly mobilized more than 20 construction teams;"

"But, I won't hide it from you. Although there are many construction teams, most of them are small village-level teams with less than a hundred people. Moreover, many of them are not fully staffed... After all, as you know, the drilling company has been working overtime to build Hope Primary Schools for those villages in the past six months. Some construction teams that have not yet completed their projects can only withdraw some of their staff to help build the industrial zone in Dezhou."

"According to the company's plan, if these twenty-odd construction teams worked overtime, they could have finished the first phase of the asset management company's office area before the fifteenth day of the lunar year. After all, although the office area covers an area of ​​80 mu, Chief Yang required that all of them be built as tiled brick bungalows for the sake of efficiency, and some living facilities could be slightly delayed, so the workload was reduced all at once."

"But the problem is, it's snowing again and according to the Texas Weather Service, we're going to have snow showers for the next few days."

"I know that many of you have worked on construction sites before, so you should know how troublesome it is to have a weather like this with one day of sunshine and the next day of snow... As the weather warms up in spring, the snow melts as soon as the sun comes out, and then the construction site becomes a pool of mud; then it snows again at night, and when the temperature drops, the construction site becomes a hard pile again."

"Since the weather is not good, there is nothing we can do. The company can only find a way to increase the number of staff. So..."

At this point, Miss Li blinked her eyes and a sly smile appeared on her chubby round face: "So I can only ask for help from you guys."

"As long as you are willing to put in the effort, I can immediately compile a list of names, and then ask the company to arrange a car to pick you up at the construction site tomorrow morning... It doesn't matter if you have never worked on a construction site before, there are experienced workers there to teach you step by step, and they have all participated in the construction of Hope Primary Schools and are very experienced."

After a pause, Miss Li picked up the document and looked at it, then added, "Considering that many projects in DZ City were suddenly suspended last year due to various reasons, and some unscrupulous bosses ran away without paying wages, in order to dispel everyone's doubts, anyone who is willing to help with the construction site will be paid daily wages, in addition to accommodation, tools, clothing and meals arranged by the company;"

"As for the basic salary... 5 yuan a day, and as compensation, before the fifteenth day of the lunar year, all work will be counted as holiday overtime, and the salary will be doubled, which is 10 yuan a day!"

hiss~!

Everyone gasped.

10 dollars a day?

Today is New Year's Eve. If I go to work at the construction site tomorrow, then on the fifteenth day of the New Year, wouldn't that be 150 yuan?
Oh my goodness, I have earned more in just half a month than I did in the past two months.

Even if we don't count holiday overtime, at 5 yuan a day, if you can work a full month, it's still twice as much as before...hiss~this is too generous!

Although everyone who has worked on a construction site knows that 5 yuan a day does not mean 150 yuan a month, this wage level is indeed top-notch in the north today.

Hearing the gasps in the room, Miss Li's expression was a little proud: "If everyone is interested, remember to mark your own specialties when you register, whether you are good at carpentry, stone carving, or landscaping, write them all down if you have any;"

"That piece of land is very large. After the investment company's office area is built, whether it is the subsequent living facilities or the construction of the rest of the industrial park, we still need manpower. Anyway, I estimate that it will take at least two to three years to complete it... Even if other units will undertake the construction at that time, as long as you are willing, the company will definitely help you coordinate. After all, we can't let those of you who helped us go without a job in the future."

"So, your specialties determine whether you can pass the assessment and become a technical talent of the corresponding level. Once you become a technical talent, it will not only be easier for you to coordinate with your future employer, but the salary you get will also be much more than what I mentioned before... Although it's not a lot, but adding up the bits and pieces, it's normal to get three or four hundred yuan a month!"

Just like the previous diner who claimed to be good at carpentry, Yang Guangcai's breathing quickened after hearing this.

My goodness, although he doesn’t know how to do carpentry, he knows how to do stonemasonry!

Just for this thing... can I get three or four hundred yuan a month?

For the first time in his life, he felt that he might not be a waste.

Gently putting away the notice, Miss Li smiled and said, "Okay, the company's request is basically complete. According to the instructions of Section Chief Yang and Manager Lu, all new and old friends present today, as long as you are willing to sign up, you can be directly included in the employment list without review;"

"And in order to take care of more people, you can also go back and tell your relatives and friends to come and sign up... In the next three days, you can come to me to register;"

"But let me say this first. Unlike everyone here, we have to screen the friends you invited over... No one who likes to drink, no one who likes to gamble, no one who likes to play XD, no one who is sneaky and cunning;"

"In addition, veterans are given priority, those from poor families are given priority, those from rural areas are given priority, and only sons in the family are given priority!"

"In a word, you all know my character, Li Shufen. I cannot bear to see others suffer, so everyone, within your ability, please be flexible and give priority to those who need care!"

After saying that, Miss Li puffed up her cheeks and glared at the white uniforms at the door, as if she was talking to the two of them. Seeing this, the girl from the inspection department rolled her eyes at Miss Li, then walked out and talked about what she thought was the most important content: "Everyone, wait a moment, I have one more thing to add... Regarding work-related injuries, the company has already issued corresponding policies;"

"As long as you get injured or sick on the construction site, the company will cover all medical expenses, and then provide different compensation plans based on the injury;"

"For minor injuries, the company will not only pay the day's salary as usual, but also provide nutrition compensation equal to the day's salary;"

"For serious injuries, the company will not only cover the full medical expenses, but will also provide compensation ranging from 5,000 to 30,000 yuan based on the actual situation;"

"In the case of disability, the company will be responsible for all related expenses including follow-up treatment costs, and the injured person can choose whether to receive standard disability care until retirement age according to the contract worker's standards, or choose to have the company provide a one-time compensation of 5 to 10 yuan based on the actual situation;"

"If unfortunately he dies, the company will give him a one-time compensation of 20 yuan according to the standard for contract workers!"

After saying this, the little girl gave Miss Li an unpleasant look, then retreated calmly.

Do you think everyone is an employee of a state-owned enterprise and everyone knows the welfare security system of state-owned enterprises?

For people on the construction site, safety compensation and aftermath issues are what they care about most!
!!!

There was another round of simultaneous gasps, and everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Miss Li and the little girl.

Although everyone knows that state-owned enterprises have good welfare benefits and central enterprises have even better welfare benefits, they never imagined that the benefits would be so good.

If you fail, you will have to pay two hundred thousand?

Will I support you for the rest of your life even if you become disabled?

Even if you are sick, they don’t deduct your salary, but instead pay for your medical treatment out of their own pocket?
TMD...

This is what it means to treat people as human beings!

Although this is only the most basic welfare security system in state-owned enterprises, for these poor people who have never appeared in the mainstream vision, this is treatment that they cannot even dream of.

MD, even if I fall and die tomorrow, this life will be worth it!

And Yang Guangcai also stayed where he was.

Two hundred thousand!

With these two hundred thousand, can my lame mother be cured of her illness?

With these two hundred thousand yuan, can the leaky little house at home be renovated into a warm brick house?
If he wasn't afraid that his lame mother would cry to death, and if he didn't think it was unkind to do so, Yang Guangcai would have wanted to go to work tomorrow and find an opportunity to kill himself the day after tomorrow... The life of a Chinese man has never been worth anything.

"Manager Li...can I sign up now?"

"I have plenty of strength, and I can do stonemasonry work!"

Subconsciously, Yang Guangcai was the first to stand up and asked loudly. His original intention to rob the cash register had long disappeared without a trace.

For some reason, he believed this little woman and also believed that the drilling company, whose name he heard for the first time today, would not deceive him.

"Miss Li, count me in, I'll go!"

"Miss Li, please write my name... I'm not good at speaking, anyway, anyway... anyway, I can't thank you enough for your kindness!"

With Yang Guangcai taking the lead, a large group of people stood up in the store.

"Okay! Everyone wait, I'll go get a notebook and a pen. Take your time, don't rush, I'll write them one by one!"

Miss Li glanced at the white uniforms at the door, then quickly took out a notebook from the cash register...

………………

An hour and a half later.

As the snow in the sky turned into goose feathers, a black Crown finally approached from afar and stopped in front of the store.

Looking at the logo of this car, the man in white uniform who had been waiting for half an hour stood up quickly without any impatience on his face.

The fact that they could send the other party here on New Year's Eve in a car that is not even suitable for a section chief shows a lot of problems in itself.

Pa~pa~
Following the sound of two doors closing, Tugou, who was wearing a bright red flowered jacket, and Yang Mo, who was wearing a military coat, walked down.

Although the drilling company took this matter very seriously, judging from the fact that the other party didn't even have time to change their clothes, the filthy clothes they were wearing were really laughable.

But the two men in white uniforms did not dare to show any mocking expression.

Are you kidding me? Not to mention that there is a Crown pressing down on you, even if someone came wearing the same outfit and riding a tricycle, you wouldn't dare to show any contempt.

This is the God of Wealth that the city has repeatedly asked to pay attention to!
After standing at the door and understanding the situation, Yang Mo glanced at Tugou who was comforting Miss Li, and suddenly tilted his head: "Comrades, there are many people in the room, why don't you go out and understand the case?"

The two men in white uniforms looked at each other. The older one signaled his colleague to abide by the rules and stay in the store to guard the suspect, while he raised his hand slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

Standing three meters away from the door, Yang Mo first handed out a cigarette. Seeing that the other party refused on the grounds of regulations, he did not force it and directly lit up the White General that his father had given him as a reward.

After brushing off the snowflakes on his collar and glancing at the subtle expression on the man in white uniform, Yang Mo smiled and said, "Comrade, today is New Year's Eve, and everyone at home is waiting to go back and eat dumplings, so... do you want to speak directly for your leader? Or should I make a phone call and let your leader speak for himself?"

As a tragic figure who had been used as a gun in the General Office in his previous life, Yang Mo knew clearly why the other party was so flexible today from the moment he received the call.

In fact, any northern student who has experienced that era should know very well why this is the case.

Seeing Yang Mo being so straightforward, the man in white uniform froze, then smiled bitterly: "Chief Yang, our leader is still at home watching the Spring Festival Gala... Besides, the minor was confused for a moment due to the need to make a living. The comrades who just took him to the hospital said that the injured person only has a concussion and is not in danger of life... So, in such a cold day, there is no need to trouble him to make a special trip."

Hearing the other party emphasize the words "minors", "forced to make a living", and "no life-threatening", Yang Mo immediately laughed.

Based on his understanding of this era, the first two words are true, but the last one... not necessarily.

In the 1990s, there were only three types of people: those who needed to be valued, those who didn’t need to be valued, and those who didn’t need to exist.

Obviously, a helpless scavenger belongs to the third category.

Whether such a light-as-a-feather person needs to be used to write an article depends entirely on the need.

Yang Mo stared at the other person for a while, then suddenly laughed and handed over another White General.

This time, the other party did not refuse, but quickly took out an old-fashioned lighter from his pocket and lit it up.

Yang Mo flicked the ash lightly and brushed the snow off his head impatiently: "No, the necessary procedures must be followed and the necessary compensation must be given... This is the rule and the basis of life."

Hearing this, the other party paused, then forced out a smile that Yang Mo was familiar with: "Chief Yang is right... I am grateful for your advice."

Catching the hint of reluctance in the other person's eyes, Yang Mo laughed: "So... the injured scavenger can be transferred to the drilling company's employee hospital... The drilling company's employee hospital is no worse than the First Hospital in terms of equipment and doctors. With our careful care, the injured will surely recover more easily."

The other party hesitated for a moment and said, "Sure... The funds in the bureau are limited, and the First Hospital's funding is not abundant. With your company's help in paying for the injured's information... I thank you on behalf of the bureau and the First Hospital."

Hearing the other party dragging his own unit into this, Yang Mo laughed.

In a situation like today, the hospital bears the full cost of the injured's treatment, and the state has already made corresponding allocations in this regard.

and so……

Comrade, you are already in your thirties and still haven't been promoted. There is a reason for that.

Some things don’t need to be rushed, and some things don’t need to be stated so clearly!
Besides, are you guys underestimating me? Am I the kind of person who doesn’t understand the ways of the world?

When you first arrive, you should always make some new friends. Otherwise, do you think a mere store manager is worth my special visit on New Year's Eve?
"That kid in the room... Zhao Xiaotian, right? Although he was forced by life and his situation is pitiful, he did something wrong after all... He should be sent to a juvenile detention center... Of course, as for how to deal with him, it is still your company's business, and it is not convenient for me to intervene... Everyone is equal before the law!"

Hearing this, the other party couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

You first requested that the injured be sent to the drilling company's employee hospital, and now you're talking about how to sentence him. Isn't it obvious that you want us to wait until the injured is almost recovered before handling this case?

As expected of a cadre of a central enterprise, he is very good at using condoms.

"Yes, in the spring, the system will hold a seminar to improve professional literacy, and the juvenile detention center will also come to learn... No matter what the reason for them to come in, the juvenile detention center is an education-oriented unit. Even if they only stay in there for a month or two, we can't let these children suffer any injustice... Young people are the successors of society, and our leaders have always emphasized that we must take into account the mental health of these minors."

Hearing the other party's words, which sounded like a press release at first, but were also a little confusing, Yang Mo nodded with satisfaction.

Very good, it's all right if you say so.

According to Tugou's understanding, this child was indeed pitiful for having fallen to the point of fighting with others for waste paper at the risk of his life, and he also wanted to use Zhao Xiaotian's incident to write some follow-up articles... This matter was actually quite important, so he rushed over tonight.

After thinking about it, he felt that there was no point in discussing other matters with the other party. He had to wait until he showed his face in front of the leader and was valued before he could talk about it. He immediately took two steps forward in the wind and snow, and his voice became a little vague:

"Well, what is this comrade's name? If you don't mind the cold, I, Yang, will be here to listen to the opinions conveyed by your leaders on behalf of Qingfeng Food..."

--------

PS: I wrote more than 8,000 words in one breath, and I am so tired. Since I am working so hard, would you consider giving me some more money?
It seems that it is not impossible to break into the top 500. From the beginning of the book to now, this book has not been recommended once, which is pitiful...
