The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 301 Internship Quota
The arrival of 1984 marked a further step in the reform. Only a few places in the countryside did not have a household contract responsibility system for planting crops, while the rest were basically divided into fields and vegetable plots.

And this year, fourteen more coastal port cities were opened.

Dalian, Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Yantai, Qingdao, Lianyungang, Nantong, Shanghai, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Zhanjiang, Beihai.

Basically, all the cities near the coastal areas are within the opening target. Jiang Cheng calculated that there are fourteen cities, so he might as well include Nanjing and Changcheng.

The lack of open cities does not mean that you cannot do business, but there is no policy support. Even Guazi can build a factory in Anhui, so it is nothing for Jiang Cheng to open a supermarket.

This means that it is only 30 to 40 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the price of a luxury villa in Hong Kong. Before, it took 5 Hong Kong dollars to exchange for one RMB, but now it only takes 1.2 yuan to exchange for one RMB.

This means that it used to cost five or six million Hong Kong dollars to build a supermarket, but now it only costs about two million.

The construction of supermarkets actually affects department stores and state-owned stores. Supply and marketing cooperatives are also affected, but many people still buy things at nearby supply and marketing cooperatives for convenience.

What really affects the shrinking sales of supply and marketing cooperatives are the small shops in rural areas. Currently, the "Jiangdonglai" supermarkets do not even go to county towns, but only open in urban areas, and there is only one store in each city, so the impact is limited.

Changcheng, College of Finance and Economics. Now it is called the School of Finance and Taxation, which was the name changed at the end of last year. The school has also expanded and enrolled more students.

Vocational school students are usually arranged to go for internship in March of the third year.

After Jiang Juan's junior high school classmate Liu Li applied for a technical secondary school, she has been in contact with Jiang Juan. Liu Li is also very grateful for the care of the Jiang family. Not only did she eat many meals at the Jiang family, but she was also able to go to the countryside to catch eels during the summer vacation to supplement the family income.

In recent years, she has come to the Jiang family to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival. She is considered a very polite girl.

Liu Li followed Jiang Cheng's advice and applied for the accounting major. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Juan is going to take the college entrance examination, and she is already facing an internship.

The accounting profession is still quite popular. Basically every company has a finance department and needs accountants. However, the salary in inland cities is not high. Even though the salary has increased in recent years, the salary of ordinary employees is only 60 to 70 yuan. Some companies with poor performance may not even have that much.

As for accountants, their salary is slightly higher than that of ordinary people, but it does not exceed one hundred yuan.

But if you go to Shenzhen, the salary of accountants is generally around 350 yuan. Of course, this is for foreign companies, and the salary of state-owned units is also more than 200.

Every year, the school arranges students to go for internships, which is also very particular. Those with excellent grades will be recommended to better units, and those with poor grades may be arranged to go to the county below. It is normal.

There are also many companies that come to the school to recruit interns directly. Basically, after graduation, everyone will go to work for the internship company, unless the company is not satisfied during the internship.

But now, Changcheng College of Finance and Economics is facing a problem. A well-known Hong Kong company has taken the initiative to send an internship invitation to Liu Li, a student of the school.

With an invitation letter and through communication with the company in Hong Kong, you can go to Hong Kong for an internship, which is equivalent to going abroad.

The school even asked someone to find out about Liu Li's family background, because Liu Li had good grades in school, but she was dressed very ordinary and didn't look like someone from a wealthy family or with connections.

After learning about Liu Li's family background, some people began to think about this internship opportunity.

"Liu Li, please sit down. Don't be shy in front of the teacher."

"Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Let me talk to you about the internship. By the way, Liu Li, do you have any relatives in Hong Kong?"

"Ah, I don't know, probably not."

When Liu Li heard the question from her class teacher, she thought about it for a moment. She had never heard that her family had any relatives in Hong Kong.

"Then do you have any internship plans? You have good grades in your major, so the teacher can recommend one for you," said the head teacher.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Liu Li shook her head and said.

After all, technical secondary school graduates are not very old, only around 17 years old. According to the process, the school recommends some units for students to choose, and after the students choose, the teachers recommend according to the situation.

Students of this age, even if they major in accounting, don't know many companies. They need the help of the school to introduce which company has good performance and high salary.

"Teacher, here are some good unit information. You can take a look. If you want to go, just tell me." The head teacher said with a smile.

As a class teacher, sometimes there are things he doesn't want to do. He is just a class teacher, and his class fee is only a few dollars more than other teachers.

Any director above can make his life difficult at school.

If you want to blame someone, just blame Liu Li for not being so lucky. The school had already called to confirm that it was indeed an internship invitation from a well-known company in Hong Kong.

But there was no reply as to why it was sent to Changcheng in the mainland, but the internship position is real anyway.

With an invitation letter, you can apply for the procedures to go abroad, and you can get a salary of 2,000 to 3,000 Hong Kong dollars a month for internship there. If you stay in Hong Kong, it is equivalent to going abroad to work.

It can be said that this is not a matter of an internship quota at all. If this quota were to be given out and offered for tens of thousands of yuan, there would probably be many people scrambling for it.

After all, in Hong Kong, you can earn several thousand dollars a month. If you stay there, ten thousand dollars is nothing.

The head teacher repeatedly questioned Liu Li, saying that she really had no relatives in Hong Kong. The school even sent someone to secretly visit her home, but they found nothing.

In this case, don't blame him as the head teacher. There are many people with the last name Liu in the school, and there are many people with the name Liu Li.

If there is any problem, it is at most a work error.

Moreover, there is no ID card in China. What you need to go to Hong Kong is a certificate issued by the school. In addition, there is a household registration certificate, but it is just a household registration certificate.

Liu Li stayed in the office for a while and left very happy because she felt that her class teacher treated her very well and recommended companies to her, all of which were very good companies in Changcheng.

Now everyone’s salary is not fixed, and there are deviations for units with good performance. In the past, there was an eight-level system. If you didn’t move up in level, the salary of someone who worked for ten years was the same as that of someone who worked for one year.

Jiang Cheng had the internship invitation sent to him from Hong Kong. He was going to open more than a dozen supermarkets in China. Not only would each supermarket require a lot of accountants, but he also had to set up a domestic head office in Shenzhen. He could just set up a finance department at the head office.

Jiang Cheng was indeed a bit nepotistic, and just because he thought Liu Li was a good person, he wanted to train her and let her go to the head office in Hong Kong for an internship to see how the accounts and income of more than a dozen other supermarkets were calculated there.

After the internship, I will stay there for about a year, because the construction and preparation time for the sixteen supermarkets will take at least a year to complete.

Then she will be transferred back to China and become an accountant of the head office at a young age. As for his niece Jiang Juan, Jiang Cheng also talked to her about applying for the management major. Of course, her interests and hobbies will be considered. If she has no ambition in this area, Jiang Cheng will not make things difficult for her.

But Jiang Juan had no objection to Jiang Cheng's recommendation, so in a few years, she would first be the general manager of a supermarket, and then slowly become a higher management.

As for his nephew Jiang Lin, Jiang Cheng's parents mentioned this matter when they were in their hometown during the Chinese New Year. Jiang Lin is going to graduate from junior high school today, so don't expect him to graduate from high school or technical secondary school because his grades are terrible.

There are many people in the countryside who are not good at studying and have to work in the fields when they are teenagers. Jiang Lin has not suffered much, because after the household contract responsibility system was implemented, there was only a small piece of land.

During the busy farming season, Jiang Changhe and Li Xianglan were both busy working in the fields. Moreover, Jiang Cheng's brother-in-law was quite a man now, and during the busy farming season, he would take a leave from Shenzhen to come over and help his father-in-law farm.

Now my sister and brother-in-law both earn over 10,000 yuan a year in Shenzhen, and with money comes more ideas. Jiang Yan manages the dormitory building of the factory, and now she wants to do some extra business, so she vacated a room under the dormitory building, which is her office.

Jiang Cheng naturally had no objection to turning the room into a small shop to do business for the dormitory staff. He looked down upon this petty trick.

Jiang Cheng said that his sister and brother-in-law were not very capable, but they were not so bad that they couldn't run a small store. It was just that they couldn't help him manage the entire supermarket. If they were really capable, they would earn more than this in a year.

But even so, Jiang Yan's family built a house in their hometown at the end of last year. Just like her brother Jiang Cheng, they built a house in the countryside and bought various home appliances.

Now in the countryside, Jiang Changhe is very proud. His son and daughter have both built houses in the countryside. Wherever he goes, people are polite to him.

However, what troubled Jiang Changhe was that his nephews and nieces, that is, Jiang Dahai's children, came to his house shamelessly.

After Jiang Changhe's parents passed away, he didn't plan to have anything to do with Jiang Dahai and Jiang Xiaoxi. But his nephews and nieces came over and said that the grudges of their generation should not be involved in the younger generation.

I hope Jiang Cheng will take care of them and take them to other places to make a lot of money.

~~
Jiang Cheng's family now has nine members. Although there are many children and they can't eat much, they usually have to prepare a lot of food for each meal. In addition, children of this generation exercise more and have a better appetite.

If there are two more guests, we will have to prepare more food.

"Don't be polite, cousin. There's still some rice in the pot. Come to my place and eat your fill."

"Hey, cousin, cousin-in-law, you guys can just eat this little bit and then stop eating."

"We are all full, you guys eat more."

Jiang Cheng greeted politely, saying that the relatives from his hometown had finally come to visit him. However, they were not relatives from the Jiang family, but relatives from the Zhao family on Jiang Cheng's mother's side.

My uncle's son called Jiang Cheng's mother "aunt". They were cousins. In addition, people from Changcheng would call each other "cousins" to show that they were from the same province when they went to other places.

Rural people, who work hard in the fields, have dark skin all year round. Although the two cousins ​​in front of him are Jiang Cheng's cousins, they are a little younger than Jiang Cheng, but they look like they are about 40 years old even though they are under 30 years old.

But now that I look so old, my image will remain the same for a long time. When I reach a certain age, I will suddenly look old again.

Rural people of this era really only have brute strength and can farm, and they eat everything without leaving any residue.

He eats rice so fast that he finishes a bowl of rice in a short while.

Zhou Lingying remembered that she used to eat a lot, but now, although her appetite is still good, it is nothing like before. With more fat in her stomach, she gradually eats less.

Jiang Cheng's children looked at the way their two cousins ​​ate, and they unconsciously ate a little more at noon today.

During the Chinese New Year, when his uncle came to his house for dinner, he mentioned that he hoped Jiang Cheng would also take his cousin to make a lot of money. Jiang Cheng didn't care too much and agreed casually.

I didn't expect that they would come to my house after the Chinese New Year, but they didn't know how to do anything. Asking them to go to Shenzhen to do hard labor was not a good thing. Many people were just too conservative and didn't want to go far away to make a living.

As long as you go to Shenzhen, you can basically find a job. If Jiang Cheng arranges something that anyone can do, then he won't need to take care of it.

We can only go to Shenzhen and assign them some easier jobs. Guarding the warehouse is also a good job.

Jiang Cheng opened 16 more supermarkets so that he didn't have to run around everywhere. Many products needed to be transported. Jiang Cheng could set up a logistics center and a large fleet. He also had to build a large number of warehouses so that the fleet could transport the goods themselves.

However, Jiang Cheng will not go to Shenzhen immediately. During the Chinese New Year, Liu Li came to pay New Year's greetings and said that after school starts this year, the school will mainly arrange internships.

Jiang Cheng had said hello to the people in Hong Kong, but Liu Li had to go through the formalities to go to Hong Kong. Jiang Cheng thought that after Liu Li had completed the formalities, he would take her to Shenzhen, and then have the people from the company in Hong Kong come to Shenzhen to pick her up and take her to Hong Kong.

Jiang Cheng would not take Liu Li to Hong Kong directly, because that would expose his identity. At least it would expose that he could freely travel between Hong Kong and China, and that he had a Hong Kong household registration and ID card.

"Juanzi, go to Liu Li's house after school this afternoon and ask her to come over. During the New Year, she said that the school would arrange an internship for her in March. I found a unit for her, but I don't know what the situation is now." Jiang Cheng said to Jiang Juan, who had also finished her meal.

Jiang Juan may have passed the stage of rapid growth and her appetite has also decreased. In addition, girls develop early, and their growth spurt may be almost complete at the age of 16 or 17, and their height will not grow any more.

Boys develop more slowly and may still be growing when they are 17 or 18 years old.

So it is common to see that when girls first enter junior high school, many girls are taller than boys. But around the third year of junior high school, boys begin to overtake them again.

In later times, because of good nutrition, girls developed earlier, and elementary schools were divided into six grades. Many sixth-grade girls were much taller than boys, and some scenes were very funny.

Jiang Juan nodded. She didn't expect that her uncle even cared about the work of her former junior high school classmates.

But my younger brother in my hometown graduated from junior high school this year and stopped studying. He is only fourteen years old, and he is not good at work. Now that he is growing up, he can eat a lot.

There was not much land to farm in his hometown, but at his age, Jiang Changhe asked Jiang Cheng to arrange a job for him. Jiang Cheng did not arrange one for him, mainly because he was too young.

Although Jiang Cheng didn't like his nephew Jiang Lin, he was his biological nephew after all. In two years, when the Jiangdonglai supermarket opened in Changcheng, he would let him be a security guard, open and close the supermarket, and earn a few hundred yuan a month.

If he has any ideas or plans, even if they are a bit too ambitious, it doesn't matter. As long as he doesn't think about something completely unrealistic, Jiang Cheng will help him financially.

However, there is a limit to how much help Jiang Cheng can give. He can pay for his failure as tuition, but he must learn from his failure. In addition, he must be mature and know when to do things after entering society.

If he can't help, no matter how rich Jiang Cheng is, he won't give it to him for free.

After all, he was just a nephew, not Jiang Cheng's own child. Even if his own children were prodigals, as long as they could coax him as a father, Jiang Cheng was willing to spend money to make them prodigals, but a nephew, although he had the same surname, was still an outsider.
