1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 4: My great uncle, I miss him so much!

after an hour,

In Linpan Town, in a village only two kilometers away from the Guanzi Station, two groups of people were crowded together, in a state of confrontation.

It has to be said that the folk customs in some places in Qi and Lu were indeed tough at that time. Even if there were people in police uniforms on the opposite side, these simply dressed villagers were not afraid at all, and they had an attitude of "Come and catch me if you can".

"I emphasize again, those casings are state assets, and stealing state assets is a felony! If the plan to contribute oil to the motherland is delayed, it will be a felony among felonies, and you will go to jail!"

"Therefore, I hope everyone can realize the seriousness of the situation and return the casings that have been taken away. I am here to make a statement on behalf of Southwest Drilling Company 1. As long as you return the 13 casings, we will forgive you for this matter!"

Looking at the section chief named Yang Jin from the Industry and Agriculture Section, who was using a condescending and stern tone to put one big hat after another on the villagers, Yang Mo could not help but rub his forehead - as the head of a department currently responsible for handling conflicts between state-owned enterprises and local residents, this guy has been working for so many years and is still at this level. No wonder the company recruited a group of local people from Qilu and set up a so-called comprehensive office to try to solve these problems.

Faced with the big hat Yang Jin put on them, the villagers did not show any nervous expressions - they had dealt with Southwest Drilling Company No. 1 more than once or twice, and had long lost their awe of this seemingly intimidating dragon crossing the river.

"Hey, leader, please don't talk nonsense. We are all honest bankers and we dare not steal state property!"

"As the saying goes, catching an adulterer makes two, and catching a thief makes you take the blame. You just open your mouth and slander us for stealing your tubes. Do you have any evidence? ... You arbitrarily accuse us of a crime without any evidence. We won't agree to it!"

An old man who was surrounded by villagers shouted angrily, as if he would never leave the village easily if he didn't explain clearly - but judging from the way he nonchalantly stuffed tobacco into the cloth bag, the old man didn't seem as angry as he showed.

………………

kindness……

Unlike what later generations imagined, in this era, the conflicts between many state-owned enterprises, especially heavy industrial state-owned enterprises, and local indigenous residents were very prominent.

The reason is also very simple.

These heavy industrial state-owned enterprises, which are mainly distributed in various remote areas, will occupy a large amount of land!
This inevitably sacrifices the interests of local indigenous residents - after all, planning a large piece of flat land often inevitably comes at the expense of the transfer of arable land of local villagers.

what?
You said that according to national policy, even state-owned enterprises need to compensate for occupied land?

Indeed, Southwest Drilling Company No. 70 did provide compensation in this area, and it was not low. In the early 1s, the compensation for land occupation was as high as 80 yuan per mu. After the 3s, it rose all the way to yuan per mu. Considering the prices at that time, this was a sky-high price.

But the problem is...

Although Southwest Drilling Company No. 1 is a subsidiary of a central enterprise, it is not a local enterprise after all. According to the procedures at the time, the compensation was not paid directly to the farmers, but directly to the local government.

Unfortunately, the household contract responsibility system, which appeared in 1978, was not officially included in Document No. 1982 until , and then rolled out nationwide.

In other words, the local residents were collectively unable to enjoy any of the compensation for land transfer that Southwest Drilling Company No. 70 had previously provided - after all, the peak period for land acquisition was the s, and there were indeed many historical issues involved.

As a result, since the third year after Southwest Drilling Company No. 1 was established here, this state-owned enterprise has never had peace - incidents such as lost crude oil, lost electrical wires, lost cement, lost bricks and tiles, and road blocking and charging have occurred one after another.

With the implementation of reform and opening up and the household contract responsibility system, seeing that this southern state-owned enterprise often adopted an attitude of keeping peace, everyone's mentality involuntarily underwent some more subtle changes. Not only did their actions become more and more aggressive, but in the end, they even went out in groups at night to "collect scrap metal" under the noses of others.

To be honest, as a southern central enterprise based in Shandong, the situation faced by Southwest Drilling Company No. 1 is far more complicated than ordinary people imagine. As long as the behavior of these poverty-stricken villagers is not too unbearable, they often turn a blind eye.

But the problem is...

During the autumn campaign, these people "collected" thirteen five-and-a-half-layer P110 carbon steel casings from the pipe station in one go, which really exceeded the company's tolerance. You know, this nearly ten-meter-long five-and-a-half-layer P110 carbon steel casing, although it is just an ordinary casing in the future, but in this era of underdeveloped metallurgical technology, it is a deep well operation tool that needs to be imported with foreign exchange - without these oil casings with advanced compression, tension and corrosion resistance, how can the drilling indicators of this autumn campaign be completed! ?
What's even more depressing is that each of these things weighing 500 kilograms is a rare commodity at the moment. Even without considering the supply and demand relationship, the purchase price is more than 1.5 yuan per ton, which is at least 7500 yuan per piece. However, these guys "collect" them and sell them as scrap metal at the price of a few cents per pound... To say that this is a waste of resources is an understatement.

………………

The two sides argued back and forth for a long time. Seeing that the villagers refused to admit that they had taken the casing and blocked the entrance to the village, Yang Jin glanced at the policemen behind him who were no different from clay figures from beginning to end. Helplessly, he could only turn back and whisper to Director Zhang.

So after working for three minutes, at the urging of Zhang Wenshun, Su Yu, who came with Yang Mo, stood up reluctantly.

"Get out of the way! Whether or not those steel pipes were taken away is not up to you or us... Let these guys in wide-brimmed hats check every yard to find out what happened!"

Perhaps because he was forced to work, this young man, who was usually silent in the office, spoke with a hint of impatience and waved his hand at the villagers in front of him as if to shoo away flies.

Seeing this young man being so arrogant, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

"Young man, watch your attitude... You're asking for a lesson when you speak so arrogantly, right?"

"That's right, you're so arrogant, and you quickly got out of the way... Who do you think you are?"

Facing the villagers who were starting to roll up their sleeves, Su Yu looked a little nervous, and his tone suddenly became sharp: "Just because my uncle works at the Linyi County Agricultural Bureau... is this reason enough?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the manic atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down.

The villagers looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment - it is difficult for future generations to understand, in this era when the market economy has not yet been fully liberalized, what a unique deterrent effect the three words "Agricultural Bureau" had on the farmers who made their living from the soil.

After a brief silence, the old man in the lead looked gloomy.

Judging from the arrogant look of the young man in front of him, this guy should not be deceiving him. If the situation really gets out of hand, it would be hard to predict whether they would be in good or bad fortune.

But the problem was, he really couldn't bear to return those thirteen steel pipes!

You know, that's more than 3,000 yuan, which is a lot of money for them... Moreover, the situation is different now than in the past, this money can be of great use to the village!

Seeing these villagers being intimidated by his uncle, after a brief moment of tension, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart - due to some recent historical reasons, these second-generation villagers had been strictly disciplined in the past few years. It was not until this moment that he felt what "majesty" meant.

"Quickly get out of the way! Don't waste my time. If you block us here and prevent us from going in, I will let my uncle..."

After waiting for a minute, seeing that the villagers were still blocking the intersection and were reluctant to move, a young man who had just found his way felt embarrassed and his tone became even more impolite.

He had only said half of his words when Yang Mo, who had been hiding behind him the whole time, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and the harsh words he hadn't said yet were held back in his stomach.

Seeing Su Yu's unhappy face, Yang Mo, who was familiar with the follow-up process of the matter, sighed in his heart.

Idiot, I'm saving you, okay?
Of course, it also saves yourself from a big trouble!

Thinking this in his mind, Yang Mo gave him a harmless smile.

Just as Su Yu was wondering what this guy meant, Yang Mo turned around and walked towards the old man in the lead, smiling enthusiastically: "My uncle, I haven't seen you for several years! Oh my~~ I miss you so much!"
