Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

  Chapter 5 Gou in a state-owned enterprise

  Li Weidong returned to the auto repair workshop again, found his "two-eight bars" in the bicycle shed, and rode back to the transportation company's family yard.

  The family courtyard of the transportation company is actually a large tiled house.

  In the early 1980s, the tube building was only available in big cities. After all, the Qinghe area was not in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and there were no decent tube buildings. Even employees of state-owned enterprises could only live in large tiled houses.

  Li Weidong’s house has three tiled houses, which are in good condition in the family yard of the transportation company. This is also due to the fact that Li Dengke, a senior citizen of the transportation company, is ranked higher in terms of seniority, so he can be allocated to these three large brick houses.

  When Li Weidong returned home, his mother Zhou Xiuchun had already prepared dinner, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, a plate of tofu mixed with shallots, and a plate of pickles.

  Although the dinner was not a bit fishy, ​​when Li Weidong tasted his mother's cooking again, tears rolled in his eyes again.

  Mother talked while eating. It was nothing more than a short trivial matter for the parents. Even the neighbor’s cat was lost for a month and came back with a big belly, and she could talk about it for three to five minutes.

  Father Li Dengke poured a small cup of the local Qinghe Daqu, took a short sip, and aftertastes his mouth, his brother Li Weimin next to him can't help stuffing vegetables in his mouth, as if he was a hungry ghost reborn.

  Looking at this scene, Li Weidong couldn’t help sighing in his heart. If a few sisters also came back, and the family had a reunion dinner, it would be great!

  Li Dengke and his wife gave birth to six children in total, which can be regarded as a response to the call of "many people and great power" at that time.

For people born in the 1950s and 1960s, it is normal to have four or five brothers and sisters. If only two or three children were born, they would be considered as having fewer children. In those days, the only child was the same as the giant panda. rare.

  Li Weidong has four elder sisters, one younger brother, and the first three elder sisters are already married. After graduating from junior high school, the fourth elder sister was assigned to work in a small county 50 kilometers away, and only came back once a month. And his younger brother Li Weimin is now in the first grade of junior high school, with a scumbag.

People of the previous generation inevitably had a patriarchal mindset. Li Dengke gave birth to four daughters in a row. It was only the fifth one that gave birth to the son Li Weidong. Naturally, he took good care of Li Weidong in every possible way. Posture, it's just that everyone was poor at that time, and there was no material condition to "help my younger brother".

  After dinner, Li Weimin, the scumbag brother, ran out to play with Hupengou friends. Father Li Dengke turned on the radio and leaned back in the chair.

  Although there were already black-and-white TV sets at the time, the financial conditions of Li Weidong’s family still couldn’t afford that thing. It’s good to have a radio.

   "Hatoyama hosted a banquet, made friends with me, thousands of drinks, and socializing..."

  An excerpt from the Peking Opera "Red Lantern" sounded on the radio, and Li Dengke hummed with his hands while tapping the beat.

  Li Weidong helped his mother clean up the dishes.

   "Weidong, after having been in the workshop for a day, I went into the house and changed my clothes. I will wash it for you." Mother said lovingly.

  Li Weidong nodded, and went back to the back room to change the dark blue tooling.

  The furnishings in the room were both familiar and unfamiliar. Looking at his young self in the mirror, Li Weidong was stunned for a while.

   "This mirror was taken away when I moved, and I couldn't find it after I moved again for the second time."

  Li Weidong sighed, he suddenly became confused about his future.

   "It is said that I, a reborn person who knows history well, should be able to become a billionaire easily!" Li Weidong muttered to himself.

  When it was really his turn, he really couldn't think of a good way to make money for a while.

  "Go to the post office to buy a stack of monkey tickets? Let’s not say that the monkey tickets were issued in 1980, but they can still be bought now. Just waiting for the increase in the price of monkey tickets will be more than 20 years later.

  Go out and set up a street stall as a self-employed individual? I'm afraid I will be beaten to death by my father! I am a formal employee of a large state-owned enterprise, but I can't afford to lose that person.

  Ten treasury bonds and foreign exchange? I don't have the capital yet, and the violent crackdown in the past 1983 has just blown. If you go to do that, you may be caught up as speculation. If you don't earn enough money to eat in prison for a few more years, then you will lose out. "

  Li Weidong sighed helplessly.

  In the 1990s, saying that a person was a self-employed person meant that this person made a lot of money, and many people would be envious of it. In the 1980s, especially in the early 1980s, "self-employed" was definitely a derogatory term.

  In the early 1980s, self-employed people were synonymous with unemployed youths, and even prisoners from reform through labor, which were incompatible with mainstream society.

  For the employees of state-owned enterprises, the "self-employed" thing is even more eye-catching when listening to it.

  In the family yard of a state-owned enterprise, if someone's child becomes a self-employed person, it will be a shame for the whole family, and the parents will not be able to lift their heads in front of others.

  If you are a rural person, setting up a stall in the city to make money will be regarded as the hope of the whole village; but if you are a child of a state-owned enterprise, if you set up a street stall, it is definitely a shame for the whole factory.

  Therefore, the children of state-owned enterprise employees would rather go to work as temporary workers in state-owned enterprises than practice self-employed individuals.

  Moreover, Li Weidong himself is a formal employee of a state-owned enterprise, and it is even more unrealistic to become a self-employed person.

As written in the novel of Rebirth, Rebirth went back to the late 1970s and early 1980s when I started a business, followed the spring breeze of reform and opening up, developed all the way, out of Asia, to the world, and became a Fortune 500 in the world in a few years. , To enter the Forbes rankings, to call Bill Gates and Jobs brothers, that is even more nonsense.

  In China in the early 1980s, apart from the special zone, there was no soil for private enterprises to survive. Although the policy has been gradually liberalized, it was after all the era of transition from a planned economy to a market economy, and the planned economy still occupies a dominant position.

  This also means that almost all means of production are allocated within the plan. State-owned enterprises will divide most of the means of production, and the rest will be taken away by collective enterprises. Private enterprises cannot obtain the planned means of production.

  Such as electricity, energy, transportation, land, infrastructure, etc., are also given priority to state-owned enterprises, then collective enterprises, private enterprises can't get anything.

  Without electricity, no energy, no land, no transportation, or even raw materials, how can private enterprises survive?

Throughout the 1980s, the private economy was almost always developed in the form of small workshops, such as frying melon seeds and frying hot sauce. Such small workshops will hardly occupy production materials and will not be included in various “plans”. "Knocked.

  In 1984, when he went to the sea to do business, he could only travel between cities like early Wenzhou merchants, carrying a large package of small commodities.

  Thinking of this, Li Weidong could not help but cursed inwardly: "Rebirth novels are all nonsense! Lao Tzu is reborn, but I still have to continue to linger in the state-owned enterprise!"

  　 Ask for recommendation votes, ask for collection, thank you for your support!
