Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 51 Rational Consumption

For the next two days, Duan Yun's life was peaceful. The monitor Huang Haitao basically took a look at his work station when he just took over, and was busy going to other workshops to find people to do private work during the rest of the time.

That's the way the factory is. Anyway, it's just a dead salary, and the job is to deal with it. As long as there are no safety issues and too much mixing, the management of night shifts is actually very lax.

In fact, Duan Yun has just noticed that, except for a few masters who work night shifts in a workshop, most of the others are apprentices and thorns in the frame. , Arrange these people to work night shifts for a long time, and no one cares how much work they do, as long as they don't make trouble.

Duan Yun often sees a few young colleagues in the same team who are in low spirits at work, disappearing from their workstations after working for two or three hours at most. He secretly slept in his place, and didn't reappear at the workstation until he was about to take over.

Duan Yun tried to establish a personal relationship with the young colleagues in the same group to become friends, but to Duan Yun’s surprise, these employees in the same group seemed to dislike Duan Yun, and Duan Yun took the initiative to greet him, and these people could at most deal with it. , but quickly put him aside as air.

But Duan Yun soon came to understand. It was well known that he committed suicide by taking poison in the first workshop because of He Xiaoli. Therefore, in the eyes of most people in the first workshop, Duan Yun was a stupid and dangerous person, so They also kept their distance from Duan Yun as much as possible to avoid any unexpected things happening again.

This is human nature, and Duan Yun has nothing to do with it. He is destined to make no friends in the workshop in the short term.

But things have two sides. Although everyone in the night shift team shunned Duan Yun, it also made Duan Yun's work station a 'forbidden area' for the night shift. No one came, and no colleagues found Duan Yun's modified lathe. the secret.

Duan Yun knew that the modification of the lathe was not covered by paper and would be known by everyone in the workshop sooner or later, but in any case, he produced more and more finished products, and these would eventually become bonuses.

As of today, Duan Yun has processed more than 3800 stigmas in five days, leaving aside his daily quota of 300, Duan Yun should have received a bonus of nearly [-] yuan in just these five days!

This bonus amount is an absolute blast.

You must know that today’s factories have more than 20 levels of administrative salary, and workers’ salary level is 8. Taking the current Red Star Gear Factory as an example, the eighth-level workers can basically beat the middle-level leaders of many factories, and when they add bonuses, they can get up to more than 100. The salary of the factory director and secretary is the highest, and it can only reach 60 yuan a month.

Duan Yunming knew that his bonus would cause a sensation in the factory, but he didn't care that much. After all, the factory has factory rules, and the reward and punishment system must be implemented. Impact.

As usual, Duan Yun put the finished products in the warehouse, ready to go home after get off work to make up for sleep.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the workshop, Duan Yun saw Li Yun's mother at a glance.

Li Yun's mother arrived at the door of a workshop as soon as she got off the morning shift, and came to look for Duan Yun.

"Xiao Duan, come here." Li Yun's mother waved to Duan Yun with a smile.

"Auntie, what's the matter?" Duan Yun also greeted him quickly with a smile on his face.

"A few colleagues from your uncle's supply and marketing department came to visit last night, and they also want to install a TV antenna..." Li Yun's mother said, handing a paper package wrapped in newspaper to Duan Yun, and said with a smile: " The money and address are in there, if you have time, you can come and have a look."

"Okay." Duan Yun took the paper package and put it in his pocket.

"You child, don't you count?" said Li Yun's mother.

"I can't trust others, but can't I trust you, Auntie?" Duan Yun smiled when he heard the words, and then said: "The business is so good now, it's all up to you, Auntie, for your help. When the business expands, I must give you a big red envelope! "

"Giggle." The smile on Li Yun's mother's face became even stronger when she heard the words, and she said to Duan Yun, "You are a sweet-natured child, and it's no wonder that your uncle always praises your boy as a talent, and it will become popular in the future!"

"Auntie, you and uncle look down on me too much, I'm just making a little money to eat." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Okay, it's useless, don't talk about it, remember to do it when you look back. Usually, there should be people in their house at noon and evening, you can just go there." Li Yun's mother settled down.

"to make!"

"Then I'm leaving." After Li Yun's mother finished speaking, she turned and left the door of a workshop.

Duan Yun took out the paper bag from his pocket at this time, and counted the money that Li Yun's mother sent.

180 yuan, the price of three antennas.

In Duan Yun's view, the Yagi antenna made by himself has already started to ferment word of mouth under the propaganda of Li Yun's mother.

To be honest, the business of receiving three antennas in one day so quickly was far beyond Duan Yun's initial expectations.

You know, the monthly salary of ordinary factory workers is only 40 yuan, and the price of 70 yuan is almost equivalent to their two-month salary.

Purchasing an antenna with two months' salary is simply a nonsense thing in the eyes of later generations, but at present, there is actually a certain market.

If you only look at the wages of ordinary workers in the factory, it is indeed unbelievable to buy an antenna at such a high price, but in fact, there are still a lot of invisible wealthy families in the factory.

The double-employees in the factory, the eighth-level veteran technician, and the middle and high-level leaders, the income of these families is considered high in this era. It is not uncommon to have a family income of more than 100 to 200 in a month, and they can buy The financial conditions of the family that can afford TV must be good.

In addition, after the reform and opening up, the hearts of ordinary people in China are much more impetuous than in the 70s and [-]s. In order to compare and save face, it is common to spend the money accumulated for several months or even half a year to buy expensive goods.

Just like some people who sell kidneys in later generations also have to buy iPhones, these days, flared pants, toad mirrors, Phoenix University [-], and other in-demand goods are also artifacts to show off their wealth. TVs are best imported, and watches are the most popular plum blossom brand. There are many people with bicycles who may not be able to afford a plum watch. If they have it, they will definitely show him every day. They can't wait to cut off half of the sleeves on the clothes!
So there are many consumer goods that were never intended for rational people...

Although Duanyun's antenna is priced at a high price, it is very practical. The same TV as other homes can receive several clear channels, which is enough to make other families with TVs feel great unbalanced.

In addition, Duan Yun's antenna claims to use imported electronic components. It is also a matter of face for users to say it out. Coupled with Li Yun's mother's hard-working publicity and touts about this antenna, the number of people who are finally hooked will naturally become more and more. many……
