Chapter 613 Looking for a Way Out

After arriving at Guang Zi Pian's house, Zhou Chen was relieved when he saw that Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao were not there.

He really didn't want to meet these two people at the time of the Chinese New Year. They were getting weird and angry, which made him very uncomfortable.

When Yu Hong met Zheng Juan and Wu Qian, they enthusiastically went to help in the kitchen, and the conversation was lively.

Zhou Chen and the other three were sitting in the back room talking.

When it was almost noon, three women prepared a table full of dishes, and six people gathered around the wooden round table and started eating.

Zhou Chen looked at the wooden table in front of him and couldn't help but think of the years he had just traveled back in time. He had eaten on this table for several years.

Now more than ten years have passed, and the table is still there. Xiao Guoqing and his wife are not willing to throw it away and continue to use it. However, it is much more worn out than it was more than ten years ago.

"Bingkun, you are much better than us now. The doctors at Yanjing Hospital are amazing."

Sun Qianchao said with emotion: "I am a bit realistic, and there are several kinds of friends I want to make most. One is a high-ranking official, one is a wealthy household with ten thousand yuan, and it is easy to borrow money, and one is from a big hospital. Dean, here comes another educated intellectual, someone like Uncle Gong..."

Xiao Guoqing smiled and said: "Catching up, I think half of what you said has been achieved."

Sun Qianchao said with emotion: "Guo Qing is right. Among all my friends, the most proud thing is that I have a friend like you, Kun'er."

"First of all, Kun'er is a doctor now, and I don't know whether he will become a dean in the future. And Kun'er, you are also very rich. You can buy a house in a place like Yanjing, the capital, with a three-bedroom apartment. Yan A building in Beijing must cost several thousand yuan."

Xiao Guoqing complimented him at the right time: "Maybe there's more to it than that."

Listening to the two people singing along, Zhou Chen looked helpless, while the three women were all laughing.

"Catch up, National Day, how did you know that I bought a house in Yanjing?"

Wu Qian smiled and said, "Bingkun, it's not just us, I'm afraid everyone in Guangzi Film already knows about this."

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and guessed the reason. It must be his parents, either Zhou Zhigang or Li Suhua, but most likely it was Li Suhua.

Zheng Juan whispered from the side: "Mom told Aunt Qiao."

When he heard this, Zhou Chen still didn't understand. As long as Aunt Qiao knew about her big mouth, she would definitely not be able to hide it. No wonder it had already spread in the past two days.

Wu Qian said sourly: "Bingkun, you are the most capable. I don't want our two families to still live in your house, a building in Yanjing, let alone Yanjing. Can you buy me a Jichun three-bedroom apartment?" With, no, two bedrooms, I would be so happy."

Yu Hong also agreed: "If I can have a one-bedroom apartment, I will be satisfied."

She and Qiao Chunyan used to get pedicures in public baths together, but later Qiao Chunyan became the deputy director of the Women's Federation, and she was still the pedicurist.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious when I see my former colleagues become glamorous and live in a house allocated by the district.

But she knew that her situation was incomparable to Qiao Chunyan, so she could only place her hopes on the man Sun Qunchao.

Wu Qian looked at Zheng Juan with envy: "Juan'er, you are lucky to have found a capable man like Bingkun."

Speaking of this, she felt somewhat unhappy. After all, her conditions were much better than those of Zheng Juan who lived in Taiping Hutong.

Who would have thought that the vision is so different.

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qunchao looked embarrassed. Although these two women were telling the truth, it was equivalent to slapping them in the face.

The reason why we can't live in a big house is because they don't provide enough resources.

Xiao Guoqing was even more dissatisfied. Although Yu Hong was also complaining, it was not so obvious, but Wu Qian almost pointed at him and scolded him for being incompetent.

How could a man endure such humiliation?

"Wu Qian, stop talking so much nonsense. Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, can't you say something happy?"

Wu Qian gave him a shameless look: "I am congratulating Bingkun and Juaner, why can't it be considered a happy thing?"

"Wu Qian, you..."

Seeing that the couple was about to fight again, Zhou Chen and others were used to it, so Yu Hong and Zheng Juan quickly spoke to persuade them.

Wu Qian sighed: "Juan'er, it's not that I'm complaining on purpose, but it's just that life is really hard now. If you don't believe me, ask Yu Hong, what is their lumber factory like during the National Day and overtaking it? I'm afraid it's close to bankruptcy. It won’t be long.”

Yu Hong echoed: "Wu Qian is right. The lumber factory cannot catch up with theirs. Now they can't even pay wages, and there are no benefits at all during the New Year."

Zhou Chen had already guessed, but Zheng Juan was very surprised: "Isn't the lumber factory a state-owned factory? There are still established workers during National Day and catch-up, so how come they can't even get paid?"

Sun Qianchao: "Forget it, the factory can't receive orders now. Without orders, where will the money come from to pay wages? In the past, the city came forward to provide support, but as time went by, there was no improvement at all, and the leaders are not stupid. , who will give money?”

Xiao Guoqing said: "It is estimated that this year, Catching Up and I will be unemployed. Workers' establishment? This was indeed very valuable in the past, but now, it is no longer an iron rice bowl."

This statement is also a bit one-sided. In those large and well-operated factories, the worker establishment is still an iron rice bowl, but for many factories that cannot support the situation, the worker establishment is really worthless. If the factories are gone, what is the use of the establishment?

In the past, leaders might have thought of ways to make arrangements, but now, there are too many laid-off workers in the city and province, and they can't be arranged at all, and they can't be ranked.

Wu Qian added: "Speaking of which, this matter is also related to Bingkun and your family."

"Is it related to our family?" Zhou Chen looked confused.

"It has something to do with your eldest brother and his father-in-law. I also heard from others that many state-owned factories in our province have failed in the past two or three years. I don't know what senior official Hao thought. He actually sold many factories to From a state-owned unit to a private enterprise, Bingkun, Juan'er, you don't know that many people are now scolding your eldest brother and father-in-law, saying that he is a corrupt official, a traitor and so on."

Zhou Chen was very surprised after hearing this. He had been in Yanjing for the past three years and did not know much about the situation in Jiangliao Province, so he couldn't believe it when Wu Qian told him.

He knows very well what kind of person Hao Gaoguan is. He is definitely a stable conservative. This can be seen from what he did after he was reinstated.

What did he hear now?

Wu Qian continued: "I don't know much about this, but it's really ridiculous that a good state-owned enterprise has become privately owned. If nothing else, let's talk about our hotel, a good state-owned hotel, now it is It was contracted privately and a group of young waiters were hired. For us old ones, you can either buy out your seniority and leave; or you can work as a small worker in the kitchen for a whole year. I have such benefits. Didn’t get any.”

"…………"

"Now I can see clearly, what kind of establishment is it? As long as it is not an official establishment, the worker establishment is worthless. Now it is the rich who really have status."

Wu Qian is indeed a talkative person. She talks non-stop, with all kinds of complaints and unwillingness, mixed with sadness and sadness.

Zhou Chen was silent after hearing this. Wu Qian was not a good person, but she was not a bad person either. She was just too talkative, but what she said today made some sense.

This is the general trend and cannot be changed by the people at the bottom. They may complain about injustice now, but in ten or twenty years, they will know what is right.

Everything is state-owned, which is indeed fair, but poor people don't have anything to eat. After the reform, although there are still poor people, the life of the general public is definitely much better than it is now.

At least I'll eat meat when I want to, unlike now, when I have to think about every meal for days.

Wu Qian said these words not just because she wanted to vent, but a large part of the reason was because she wanted to tell Zhou Chen.

"Bingkun, among our friends, you are the smartest and most capable person. Come and analyze for us. In our current situation, should we continue to hang around the establishment, or should we buy out our seniority and find a job? Do other things?"

Zhou Chen understood that Wu Qian actually had an idea in mind when she asked this question. However, after all these years, the concept of workers' establishment as an iron rice bowl has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. That is to say, it is really hard to make money now because it is too hard. Otherwise, she would definitely not ask this question.

Sun Qianchao, Xiao Guoqing and Yu Hong also looked at Zhou Chen with bright eyes, looking forward to Zhou Chen's answer.

It is human nature to seek advice from strong and successful people. In their eyes, Zhou Chen is a very successful person, so Zhou Chen's opinions may be more convincing to them than those given by their parents.

Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing were his two best friends in the world, and they were young. Zhou Chen naturally didn't want to see them as lonely as in the TV series.

"If you ask me this question, the answer I give is, if you can, give it up as soon as possible. While you can still buy out your seniority and get a sum of money, quickly buy out your seniority and do other things. The lumber factory is hopeless. ."

Sun Qianchao asked eagerly: "Bingkun, why are you so sure that the lumber factory is hopeless?"

"I don't know the specific situation of your lumber factory, but from your description, I know that the lumber factory is now falling apart. The reason why it has not completely closed down is because so many workers in the lumber factory cannot be accommodated, and the higher-ups are afraid that these workers will cause trouble. "

"But this situation will not last long. Sooner or later, the people above will get rid of the burden of the timber factory. The best result is to be acquired by others, but I think there is little hope. The greater possibility is that the timber factory will go bankrupt. Factory workers were laid off.”

Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing looked at each other and could see each other's worries. After all, they were just ordinary citizens and had no strategic vision, but they could understand Zhou Chen's meaning.

It just means that the lumber mill is hopeless, and the best result is to buy out the seniority now.

"Catch up, National Day, we are best friends since childhood, so I suggest you buy out your seniority. If you have some money, you can take advantage of this time to go overseas to do business. Soon, going overseas will become a trend. , Wu Qian is right when she says that in the future, rich people will have more status."

"Going to sea to do business?"

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao looked at each other with expressions of disgust. Their ideas had not changed yet, and they still felt that doing business overseas was just speculation, which was a crime.

Zhou Chen saw their scruples and continued: "Going overseas to do business is currently the best way. As long as you look in the right direction, making money is not a problem, and there are opportunities to make big money. Of course, if you feel that going overseas to do business is not safe, you can Find other jobs, but in the current situation, unless you have a lot of connections, the hope of finding a reliable and stable job is very slim, after all, there are many laid-off workers now."

Now it was the turn of Xiao Guoqing and others to stop talking, because what Zhou Chen said was very realistic, and they had already realized the importance of relationships.

Wu Qian rolled her eyes and asked, "Bingkun, you are so capable. Your eldest brother is also the son-in-law of a high-ranking official. Can you help our family find a good employer during the National Day?"

"Wu Qian."

Xiao Guoqing became angry immediately, pointed at Wu Qian and cursed: "What are you talking about? Today we are inviting Bingkun to dinner. Why are you talking such nonsense? I have a job. Why did you ask Bingkun to find me a job? People are righteous." My eldest brother and father-in-law are busy with everything, so why are you looking for someone else?"

He knew that there was a conflict between Zhou Chen and Zhou Bingyi, and also knew who Zhou Chen was, so how could he ask Senior Official Hao for help.

Wu Qian was not to be outdone: "What's wrong? I can't ask. Bingkun didn't say anything. Why are you calling me?"

This is how the couple get along. Even in front of outsiders, no one gives in to the other. But if you really want to say who has the bigger problem, it must be Wu Qian.

How many men can tolerate a woman who doesn't give any face to her own men?

"Okay, you two, stop quarreling. National Day, catch up. If you two are really ready to buy out your seniority, I can try to find you a job, but you must explain in advance that the job I find for you is not It may be organized."

"There is no establishment?"

When Wu Qian heard this, she was immediately disappointed. Although she had just said that the worker establishment was no longer available, she really couldn't bear to let it go if it were to disappear.

Xiao Guoqing cursed angrily: "You old bitch, can you stop talking? What's wrong with not having an establishment? Can't you live without an establishment?"

Wu Qian muttered: "I didn't say anything, why are you so excited?"

Zhou Chen also showed dissatisfaction at this time and said calmly: "Wu Qian, if you want to listen to me, just listen. If you don't want me to give you advice, then I don't have to say it."

Wu Qian suddenly stopped talking weakly. She could refute Xiao Guoqing's words with confidence, but she did not dare to Zhou Chen's words. After all, it was she who took the initiative to ask Zhou Chen to help them with their ideas.

Xiao Guoqing glared at him fiercely, then came to the rescue and said: "Kun'er, don't worry about her. She has long hair and short knowledge. She doesn't know anything. You say what you want, we are listening."

Sun Qianchao also echoed: "Yes, Bingkun, let's listen, it doesn't matter if there is no establishment, as long as you can make money, you don't need tickets to buy many things in the past two years, money is the most important."

Already in 1983, with the addition of the reform, the era of buying items with tickets has gradually come to an end, which also reflects the importance of money.

Zhou Chen nodded and said: "I have a friend who is in the logistics business. Logistics means sports cars hauling goods. There are drivers who drive and unload and load goods. If you want to find a job, I can introduce you there. Don't I dare not say, but the salary is definitely much higher than working in a factory, but you may need to travel a long distance."

"Logistics? Driving to haul goods?"

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao all looked at each other. This was their intellectual blind spot.

Xiao Guoqing asked with concern: "Bingkun, can you really make money?"

Zhou Chen replied affirmatively: "What is our relationship? If I can't make money, will I introduce you to it? The job of transferring and unloading cargo is hard work, the more you work, the more you pay. The driver is a technical job. Although it is also tiring, the salary is the highest. , if you want to go, I mind you learning to get a driver’s license first.”
