At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Ye woke up leisurely on the hotel bed.
Lying on the bed, smelling the faint smell of cigarette smoke, and looking at the roof covered with withered newspapers, I felt indescribably relaxed. After all, during the period after rebirth, from the initial confusion and shock to the subsequent excitement and joy, It consumed a lot of Wang Ye's energy.
Not to mention later, determining future goals, formulating a development plan for Hongxing Machinery Factory, applying to the Fifth Machinery Department, convincing all those who stood in the way, watching the gas cylinders be produced, until the moment in the morning when the contract was signed!
Step by step, Wang Ye had hardly had a good night's sleep until today.
"It's already four o'clock in the afternoon? No, I have to get up."
"Report news to the factory and Director Li."
After struggling for a long time, Wang Ye finally got up from the bed, then washed his face and left the hotel.
In this era, not to mention Big Brother, even BB phones have not yet entered the country. In normal history, BB phones would not enter the country until next year. However, due to high prices, few operators, and insufficient base stations, etc., It was not until the late 1980s that it gradually became popular.
So now if Wang Ye wants to make a call, he can only go to the post and telecommunications office.
Of course, compared to making phone calls, there is a more economical way of communication, and that is to send a telegram. Nowadays, you are still charged based on the number of words. Each word of the text is seven cents, and each word of the address is five minutes, but the timeliness Too bad.
Wang Ye hurried to the counter before the post and telecommunications office closed. Because the price of making calls nowadays is very expensive, there are very few people calling, so there is no need to queue up. Wang Ye said to the girl behind the counter:
"Make a long-distance call."
At the same time, a "Great Unity" was issued, which was a ten-dollar bill, the largest face value of this era.
Then Wang Ye picked up the phone and said to the operator at the transfer station inside:
"I am Wang Ye, the director of Hongxing Machinery Factory in Luqi Province."
"Report me to the Industrial Development Office of the Industrial Bureau of Yuntai City, Luqi Province, and ask for Director Li."
Hearing what Wang Ye said, the girl behind the counter had a surprised expression on her face. After all, in her opinion, this young man was in his early twenties at most, so how could he still be the director of the factory?
at the same time.
As Wang Ye's description was completed, the operator finally connected to Director Li's office after several transfers. He heard Director Li's familiar voice saying, 'Hello? Which one? ', Wang Ye said with a smile:
"Director Li, it's me, Wang Ye."
"The contract has been signed. Have you received the deposit of two hundred thousand dollars?"
As soon as these words came out, the originally surprised girl turned to look at Wang Ye, completely dumbfounded. After all, in this era, not to mention 200,000 US dollars, even 200,000 RMB is an astronomical figure!
She even suspected that this young man was bragging! But who would risk the high phone bill of one yuan and two cents per minute to brag!
At the same time, Director Li on the other end of the phone heard Wang Ye's voice, his heart completely dropped to his stomach, and he couldn't help laughing:
"Hahaha! Got it! Got it! You didn't know how to call earlier."
"I felt uneasy for half the afternoon. I thought I had misplaced the money!"
Hearing what Director Li said, Wang Ye explained casually and added again:
"I didn't sleep well yesterday. I just slept after signing the contract in the morning."
"This 200,000 yuan is the deposit, and the remaining 200,000 yuan can only be paid after the goods are on their ship."
"I'm going to hang up now! We'll talk about the rest when we get back!"
After Wang Ye hung up the phone, the girl behind the counter was completely confused. Then Wang Ye dialed the number of Hongxing Machinery Factory and reported the news.
When everyone, who was still smoking in the old factory director's office and looking like they were about to turn into bacon, received the confirmed news from Wang Ye, the whole room exploded again!
"Hahaha, let me tell you! It must be our little factory director!"
"This is 400,000 U.S. dollars. According to the subsidy exchange rate, it is a full 5.2 million! Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"As the chief of the finance section, I have never seen so much money in my life. If it is piled up, it would be like a mountain, right?"
"As expected of a college student! This is so amazing. I, Old Song, am completely convinced this time."
"Hey, I can't help you being dissatisfied. How many years have we been poor? They came here for two days and directly earned US$200,000 in foreign exchange. I would never dare to do this in my wildest dreams!"
"College student? This has to be a college student from Huaqing, and it also has to be a graduate student. Do you think he can do it as an ordinary college student?"
"Let's go! I must drink something today! I haven't been this happy for a long time, hahaha!"
"Have a drink! Go back to eat quickly and work overtime after dinner. Didn't you hear the little factory director say that the goods will be delivered in ten days?"
After this group of people left, the news about Wang Ye's success in earning 400,000 US dollars had spread rapidly in the factory area, and then the entire factory turned into a sea of joy!
It can even be said that for countless workers and family members of Hongxing Machinery Factory, today is definitely happier than the Chinese New Year.
After all, if you don’t have money during the New Year, it will be a sad year.
But today is different. The factory has earned more than 5 million yuan. The wages owed in the past can be made up, and future wages can be paid in full, even for several years. How can everyone be unhappy?
"Look! Our machinery factory is very lucky this time to meet such a factory director!"
"Isn't that right? Look at what kind of life we lived before? Now the little factory director has just reported for work for a few days and he has made so much money?"
"I have to thank the little factory director! If he hadn't given up the great future of working in the ministry and came to our machinery factory, I guess we would have been waiting for the northwest wind in the second half of this year!"
"Yes, yes, now whenever I think about our little factory director, I feel very at ease. I no longer have to worry about my salary!"
"Hahaha, this is the backbone! We have a small factory director, and we will be able to live a good life for a few days in the future!"
"Wait! I suddenly remembered that we have to keep the little factory director well!"
"Hiss! Isn't that right? If the little factory director leaves... I heard that the little factory director just graduated this year. He shouldn't be married, right? How about introducing him to someone? He becomes the son-in-law of our machinery factory, but he is a family member. People!"
"Yes, yes! That's the truth. Let's go find Director Liu to discuss it!"
In the factory area in the evening, workers and their families could be seen everywhere with their rice bowls and smiling faces. The women gathered around and made household chores. As they talked, they seemed to have discovered the key to the problem. Everyone took their bowls and went directly to the home of the director of the Women's Federation!
The next day, Wang Ye embarked on his way home.
It was another day and night, and it was not until the afternoon of the third day that I returned to the door of the machinery factory again. This return was completely different from the first time. Almost all the workers and their families blocked the door and gave Wang Ye the warmest greetings. welcome!
"Little factory director! Little factory director! Little factory director!"
"Wang Ye! Wang Ye! Wang Ye!"
The deafening shouts echoed in the air, and finally jumped into the sky. When Wang Ye saw that Director Li was also there, he smiled and said teasingly:
"Why are you here too? Are you here specifically to celebrate my victory?"
"I don't dare to take it seriously!"
Director Li smiled and patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and said:
"You are thinking too much! I have something to do with you, let's go!"
Then everyone returned to the conference room on the second floor of the small office building. While the girl was pouring tea, Director Li said directly:
"Wang Ye, the province needs to carry out the reform of large collective enterprises run by factories."
"Now that your Red Star Machinery Factory has returned to the local government, you will naturally have to keep pace with us."
"So your collective, how are you going to reform?"
Hearing what Director Li said, the six giants sitting there suddenly looked ugly. After all, the entire machinery factory, including cadres and workers, had only more than 1,200 formal employees, and there were at least 1,000 people left. It's hanging underneath the factory office!
