However, despite making so much money, Xiang Nan did not make any noise.
Don't reveal your wealth in vain. At this stage, the annual income of ordinary people is only a few hundred yuan. Xiang Nan suddenly made more than 30 million, which is really scary.
It is said that those who are too high will be more jealous, and those who are too clean will be resented. The amount of money he makes is bound to attract jealousy. By then, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Secondly, the current environment is not friendly to the private economy. In 1982, the Eight Kings incident occurred in Wenzhou. Several people who got rich first were sentenced to prison for speculation.
In the late 1980s, the owner of Foolish Guazi was also investigated for financial problems. He was sentenced to prison in 1991 and was acquitted in 1992.
And they are just a small business, making only a few hundred thousand at most, and they are already facing prison. If word got out that Xiang Nan had made more than 30 million yuan by selling Clivia, it would probably be enough to sentence him to death.
So he didn't dare to tell anyone, not even Xiaoping knew that he had actually done this.
…
In 1985, three more things happened.
First, the Military Commission announced a million-dollar disarmament.
Eleven military regions were reorganized into seven military regions, of which four military regions, Hanyang, Chuncheng, Fuzhou and Wumu, were all withdrawn.
All headquarters, all services and arms, all major military regions, and agencies of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and their directly affiliated units have been dissolved and merged, and their personnel have been streamlined by 40%.
Even the Song and Dance Troupe of the General Political Department is being streamlined and a large number of redundant staff have been eliminated. However, business backbones like Xiang Nan and Xiaoping are not worried about layoffs at all.
It's too late for the General Secretary to keep them, so how can they be laid off? Having said that, even if they are really laid off, they will be snatched away by other units as soon as they walk out of the door.
Bayi Film Studio, Beijing Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, CCTV, "Harvest" magazine, "October" magazine, "Monthly News" magazine, etc. are all eager to poach them.
Therefore, Xiang Nan and Xiaoping are not worried.
…
Second, the central government carried out the second wage reform and launched the "Reform Plan for the Wage System for Staff of State Agencies and Public Institutions".
The plan adjusts the previous practice of not distinguishing specific items in the wage system, and stipulates that the wages of personnel in government agencies and public institutions are composed of four parts, including basic wages, position wages, seniority wages, and bonus wages.
This gave Xiang Nan and Xiaoping a huge leap in their wages. Xiaoping's monthly salary increased from 80 yuan to 300 yuan. Xiang Nan's monthly salary increased from 177 yuan to 1,200 yuan.
Although the two of them have long stopped living on wages, an increase in wages is still a good thing.
…
Third, Xiaoping's stepfather finally officially retired after two years in the CPPCC. His retirement package is at the department level, with a retirement salary of nearly a thousand yuan a month, which is considered good.
However, after completely retreating, the power in his hands was basically gone. For example, it used to be possible to just make a phone call and the office would send a car, but now it's basically impossible.
Even with sister Xiaoping's work, he couldn't help her much. Finally, Xiaoping's mother came to Xiaoping again and said, "She is half related to you anyway. As a sister, you can't ignore her."
Xiaoping couldn't help but frown when she heard what she said.
She said the same thing last time when she helped her brother arrange work. Unexpectedly, I am saying this again now. Xiang Nan was right, he shouldn't have helped her in the first place. As a result, as long as you open an opening, it will never end.
"Mom, you also know that I am a company-level creative writer. I stay at home writing every day. How can I have any access or power to help her arrange work?" Xiaoping thought about it and refused. She didn't want to help anymore.
When she gave birth last year, no one from her family came to visit her. Now that I have to go to work, I finally think of her. What's going on?
"You don't know many people, but Liu Feng doesn't know many people, so just ask him to help." Xiaoping's mother said, "She is his sister-in-law after all, so we can't just ignore her."
"Mom, please stop saying these things. I regard you as a relative, but do you regard me as a relative? I have been here in Yanjing for so long. Apart from coming to see me when you have something to do, how many other times have you visited me?
I gave birth to a baby last year. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were far away in Qilu, so they all came over by train. You live in Yanjing, but you have never been here once, let alone helped me take care of my children. "Xiao Ping waved her hands and said.
"Xiaoping, don't blame me. I wanted to come, but your dad wouldn't let you. You also know that there's nothing I can do about his temper." Xiaoping's mother looked embarrassed.
"Then you come to me now, why did he give in again?" Xiaoping became even more angry after hearing this.
He doesn't care at all if something happens to her. When something happens to him, he has to help him. What kind of truth is that? !
"Xiao Ping, don't blame your dad, he is just that kind of person." Xiao Ping's mother advised, "Just do it for my sake and help your sister. Mom is begging you on her behalf~"
"I won't help. She has never regarded me as a sister. She calls me a dragster every day. Why should I help her?" Xiaoping refused again.
"Xiaoping, Mom, you know you have suffered a lot, but if your father hadn't taken you in, we would have starved to death." Xiaoping's mother advised, "No matter what he said, he still raised you ten years ago." Nian. Don’t you miss this feeling at all? Do you have to ask me to admit your mistake? "
When Xiaoping heard what she said, she felt helpless and had to sigh.
"Okay, I'll help you one last time. I hope you won't come to me again in the future. I'll just treat it as if I was born and raised without you as a mother, let alone these brothers and sisters."
"Xiaoping, I knew that you still cherish this love and are a good child who knows how to be grateful." Xiaoping's mother said happily when she saw that she agreed.
Xiaoping's face turned livid when she heard what she said.
…
Then, she told Xiang Nan about it.
"Comrade Liu, you can scold me, I haven't been able to calm down yet." She said with a sad face.
Ming Ming had already made up his mind to completely separate himself from that family. But when she came to the door, she couldn't help but nodded. It made her hate herself for being spineless and deserved to be bullied.
"I don't blame you." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "The fact that you agreed to help her shows that you are a kind-hearted person. I was attracted by this in the first place, so how could I blame you.
However, if you can't refuse this kind of thing in the future, just push it to me and I will be the villain. Don't agree to it first and then regret it later. "
"Yeah." Xiaoping nodded.
Xiang Nan later helped Xiaoping's sister find a job as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative. Xiaoping's sister immediately went to work happily.
