Chapter 1420 Fragrant Buns
Lu Cheng is an ordinary Xiangjiang person.
Because my family was poor, I had been living in Tin Shui Wai, a very remote area.
There are very few schools here in Tin Shui Wai. If you want to go to high school, you can only go to Yuen Long, which is more than ten kilometers away.
Lu Cheng's family had no money, so he barely finished junior high school and then went home to help his father with farm work.
When he was 20 years old, that is, in July 1979, a factory called Qilin Printing Factory moved to the foot of Lau Fau Shan in Tin Shui Wai.
Qilin Printing Factory was not far from Lu Cheng's home. When he saw the recruitment notice posted there, Lu Cheng thought that it couldn't be any worse than farming anyway, so he went for an interview boldly, and with his honest and honest character, he was hired. Admitted successfully.
After returning home, Lu Cheng was beaten violently by his father.
The father scolded him for not doing his own work at home, but for working for others in a dirty and tiring factory. He really didn't know what to do!
Lu Cheng didn't think so. He had to give everything a try to know if it would work.
Moreover, the salary offered by Qilin Printing Factory is quite high, with the minimum being 1,500 yuan.
As a result, he just kept doing it day by day.
From an ordinary production line worker, to now a team leader in charge of 30 people.
From the original 1,500 yuan a month to the current 8,800 yuan, it has increased by more than 5 times!
It is now June 1983, four years since he joined Qilin Printing Factory, and Lu Cheng is already 24 years old.
During these four years, Lu Cheng not only worked, he also did many other things.
For example, last year, when it was relatively easy to get a loan, Lu Cheng received the benefits provided by the factory and took out a loan of 300,000 yuan from Xiangjiang Commercial Bank. He demolished all the old houses in his family and built a new three-story building. floor, a large house with a total area of over 8,000 square feet!
At the beginning of this year, after the construction and decoration of the house was completed, Lu Cheng's father invited dozens of nearby neighbors to have a happy meal together to celebrate the move to a new home.
At the banquet, Lu Cheng's father burst into tears with joy.
In front of all his relatives and friends, he loudly said to his son, "Fortunately you didn't listen to me. Fortunately, you chose to insist on working at Qilin Printing Factory."
At that moment, Lu Cheng couldn't help crying.
It's not that he was wronged before, but because his father can understand him.
Compared to the joy of the two father and son, the rest of the relatives and friends were more envious.
Among them, half of the families did not join Qilin Printing Factory immediately.
But after missing such an opportunity, Kirin Group recruited a large number of people from the mainland who came to Xiangjiang. The real indigenous residents of Xiangjiang only accounted for a small proportion of the number of workers recruited.
Even for the residents of Tin Shui Wai, one-third of the young people in the family are unable to enter the Qilin Group, which is a great regret for them.
In the second half of last year, Xiangjiang's economy suddenly collapsed, many companies went bankrupt, financial companies were liquidated, and the employment situation suddenly became bad. They were even more upset that they had not gone to work at Kirin Group.
However, now that Kirin Group has stopped expanding a long time ago, it almost no longer recruits workers at the lowest level. If it wants to recruit senior management talents, there is no room for them.
For this reason, the Zhao family in Tianshuiwei also communicated many times with Ms. Le Yiling, the president of Qilin Group, on behalf of the villagers. She only gave a promise that if she recruits people in the future, she will definitely give more consideration to the villagers. Other than that, There are no guarantees.
So those who could only choose to wait, looking at Lu Cheng's scenery, felt indescribable in their hearts.
Lu Cheng's success was not just about building houses.
From before the Spring Festival to now, the economic situation in Xiangjiang has once again deteriorated, and more people are unemployed.
The average salary of ordinary people in Xiangjiang has plummeted from 2,500 yuan in 1982 to 1,800 yuan. In this way, countless people are rushing to work.
Under such circumstances, Kirin Group, a unique company with excellent profits, is naturally even more conspicuous.
Every day, countless people gather around the headquarters of Qilin Group in Lau Fau Shan, wanting to see if there are any job opportunities.
That is to say, the Qilin Security Group is patrolling every day, and the number of thousands of people really seems to make people feel desperate, so no one dares to forcefully knock on the door or ask the Qilin Group to hire them.
When the economic situation is at its worst, people are usually panicked.
In panic, many things that are usually unreasonable will happen.
For example, it has become increasingly rare for parents to arrange marriages.
Among the hundreds of families nearby, Lu Cheng was considered to be doing well, especially since he was only 24 years old, which happened to be the time when he was young and strong.
Such a young man, who has no girlfriend and is not married, is naturally targeted by many people.
Since mid-May, when Lu Cheng came home from get off work every day, he would see guests waiting for him at home.
Lu Cheng didn't get off work early. Even if he had an early shift, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening when he got home.
It’s not that Kirin Group needs workers to get off work late. Now, unless there is an emergency task, Kirin Printing Factory, Kirin Toy Factory, Kirin Copy Factory, etc. will not work in three shifts, but will be divided into morning and evening shifts. class.
The morning shift is from 8 am to 6 pm, and the evening shift is from 6 pm to 4 am.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Cheng can go home after six o'clock in the afternoon, but he is a team leader and has a strong sense of responsibility by nature. After get off work every day, he has to finish all the chores and make sure nothing is missed before returning from get off work. Home.
In this way, the time naturally dragged on to 8 o'clock in the evening.
Because he has such a strong sense of responsibility, Zhou Yuping, the general manager of Qilin Printing Factory, admires him very much and plans to promote him again and make him the supervisor of the entire production line.
Once he gets this promotion, Lu Cheng will have more than 200 people under his supervision, and his salary will rise to 30,000 yuan per month in one breath!
Good guy!
Even senior white-collar workers in Central can't get a monthly salary of NT$30,000!
Besides, Qilin Group does not pay 12 months’ salary a year. They pay at least 15 months’ salary a year, and at most they can pay 20 or 30 months’ salary!
Calculating this, Lu Cheng can get a full 400,000 yuan a year! ?
After the news spread from Lu Cheng's father, everyone around him was shocked.
Oh my gosh!
What does 400,000 a year mean?
Based on current housing prices, one year’s salary is enough to buy a 500-square-foot new house!
He is simply a golden turtle son-in-law!
If you don’t catch it, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life! !
Therefore, during this period, matchmakers and even the girl's parents would come here seven or eight times a day, and the photos they produced would dazzle Lu Cheng's parents.
But Lu Cheng looked at the photo and didn't express his opinion at all.
The smart matchmaker simply thought of a way and brought the girl over directly, waiting for Lu Cheng to let the young people get in touch with her.
Of course, those who come here with confidence are not ordinary girls like Ahua and Axiu. They are at least a little pretty, or have good academic qualifications.
Otherwise, where can I match a son-in-law with an annual salary of 400,000?
This method is indeed good. When Lu Cheng sees other girls coming over these two days, he will talk to them.
After so many years of training in the workplace, with a high salary, good benefits, and a lot of experience, Lu Cheng is no longer the rural boy he was four years ago.
His conversation and demeanor cannot be compared with those white-collar workers who speak English, but he is also generous and calm. Talking to him makes people feel comfortable.
The girls who can be attracted to him on a blind date are usually well-educated and not too young, so they can appreciate the benefits of Lu Cheng.
Such a man is a good candidate to be a boyfriend or even a husband.
The matchmakers also saw it, and after they returned, they praised Lu Cheng so much that the families of girls who had been able to endure it before began to have their thoughts.
Therefore, in the past few days, the overall quality of the girls coming here is getting higher and higher.
For example, today, the matchmaker brought a girl who is not only a graduate of Xiangjiang University, but also very pretty and has a good job. She is a clerk in a famous real estate company.
When Lu Cheng came back and saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out: "Xiangqin?!"
The girl stood up gracefully, "Hi, Lu Cheng, long time no see!"
Lu Cheng's mother, who was having a lively chat with the girl's parents, was stunned and asked, "What? Do you know each other?"
"Yes." Xiangqin said with a smile, "Auntie, Lu Cheng and I were classmates in junior high school. However, Lu Cheng did not go to high school later, and I moved to the city with my parents, so there was no When we meet again... this time they showed me Lu Cheng's information, I couldn't believe it. The classmate who used to be so silent and honest is now so prosperous!"
Lu Cheng scratched his head and said, "Mom, Xiangqin is the beauty of our class. She has very good academic performance, but she is not as stupid as me."
"Oh, haha, it's good to know each other, and even better to be classmates!" Lu Cheng's mother laughed, "This is fate!"
"Yes! Fate!" Xiangqin's mother also laughed.
She used to find it strange that her daughter, who had always disliked blind dates, made an exception this time and agreed to come and have a look.
It turns out we are classmates we met!
It’s better to be a classmate, so the two of them have known each other before and don’t have to worry about getting along!
Looking at the two people sitting next to them who were already laughing and talking, Xiangqin's mother nodded with satisfaction.
If someone had told her before that she would marry her daughter to a worker in the future, she would have spat in his face.
But now?
She felt that it would be a great deal for her daughter to marry Lu Cheng!
Where can you find a son-in-law like this who is honest, is a classmate, can make money, and his future development is limitless?
Not to mention anything else, just the brand name of Qilin Group is enough to make relatives and friends extremely envious! !
