Chapter 684 I Still Like Playing the Fish Pond Game
One day at the end of June 1986, all the students from Peking University’s 82 World Economics major gathered in a classroom.
When Li Ye entered the classroom, he found that he was the last one to come.
Today is the day to announce the results of graduation assignments. Even the laziest people in the past came over half an hour early.
Just as Li Ye found a seat and sat down, a classmate came over and asked in a low voice: "Li Ye, do you have any gossip? Where will everyone be assigned?"
Li Ye shook his head in confusion and said: "How come I have gossip? When Xian Xian was still here, he was the one who gave me gossip. I never pay attention to things that have disappeared."
Li Ye was telling the truth. Since Sun Xian went to Moscow, Li Ye had lost almost 90% of his understanding of all kinds of gossip in the school.
He arranges all kinds of business according to his own plan all day long, and he is not in the mood to ask for gossip.
"Hey, I thought you were Mr. Zhang's favorite disciple and could know everyone's fate in advance!"
Li Ye is the protégé of Professor Zhang, the economics tycoon, so everyone thinks he has some privileges.
Li Ye quickly denied: "No, no, the teacher has never been in the habit of missing questions in advance. Besides, if you know this kind of thing one day earlier, you will know it later, it doesn't make any difference, right?"
"Oh, aren't we worried? It's so uncomfortable."
Dozens of students gathered in the classroom. Although it was not yet the dog days of summer, more than half of the students had already started wiping sweat.
Entering college is an important turning point that changes your destiny, and the assignment unit may be the last turning point in many people's lives.
At this time, He Dazhuang, who had the most experience in government agencies, came over again and asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Li Ye, we have been classmates for four years. Tell the truth, are you going to be assigned to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation?"
Li Ye said in surprise: "Where did you get the news? Why didn't I know it myself?"
He Dazhuang smiled crookedly and said: "I read your graduation thesis on 'Application for Restoring the Status of a Contracting Party to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade'.
We have known each other for such a long time, and I know that you will never hit the target without aim, so you want to go to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, not to the automobile manufacturing plant in your provincial capital, right? "
"."
Li Ye pursed his lips, looked at He Dazhuang who looked like "I've seen it through," and shook his head in a funny way, really unable to answer.
His graduation thesis is indeed related to the "resumption of customs". After all, the country began preparing to apply for "resumption of customs" in 1983, and has completed the preparations this year. It will formally submit an application for "resumption" to the WTO in more than ten days. .
Therefore, Li Ye’s paper came at the right time.
However, Li Ye was not opportunistic. Instead, he asked Pei Wencong to help collect a lot of economic information in Nanyang, and then came to a conclusion - the "hard power" conditions possessed by the four Asian tigers are also possessed by mainlanders. The only difference It is the trade environment (WTO).
Therefore, the mainland should get back what belongs to them at all costs.
The reason why it is something that belongs to us is because when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was founded in Switzerland in 1947, we were one of the founding contracting parties.
It was only in 1950 that the other side of the Taiwan Strait unilaterally announced its withdrawal from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which led to our long fifteen-year road to "re-establishing customs". Only insiders knew the hardships involved.
Li Ye heard a rumor in his previous life that when we applied for customs resumption, the negotiators from both sides were completely unequal.
We have an iron-blooded prime minister in command here, while the other side is just a small fish and a shrimp, but even so, it is very difficult to negotiate. In the end, it was because of our strength that we succeeded in resuming the customs, rather than "being rewarded with a meal" as some people said later. ".
Will those gluttons in the West reward you with food? If you are of no value, he will lick every last grain of rice from your bowl, right?
As for the graduation thesis written by Li Ye, Professor Zhang said nothing after reading it, but Li Ye knew that two of his former senior brothers were members of the negotiation team.
Therefore, Li Ye does his best to obey fate, and hopes that he can make everyone's belief in the resumption of customs stronger.
But Li Ye really never thought about going to the ministry.
At least not now.
"The teacher is here~"
I don't know who shouted, and there was a sudden chaos in the classroom. Everyone returned to their seats and looked at the instructor who came in with a serious face, as if they were seeing the judge who pronounced their fate.
The instructor Zhang Zhiqiang put down the list in his hand, first heaved a sigh of relief, and then said in a deep voice: "I have a lot of emotions in my heart after spending the past four years with you.
But there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever, so I won’t say any unnecessary nonsense. After the distribution results were announced today, everyone went their separate ways. I just hope that in retrospect, I can think more about happy things, and don’t be resentful or regretful. "
"Chen Xiaoling, Organization Department."
"Xiang Weiguo, Planning Economic Commission."
"Pu Xianghe, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China."
"Fu Lianbing, Capital Steel Plant."
"."
When Zhang Zhiqiang read the list, he did not read it from the back to the front like most people did, but from the best unit to the back.
But everyone only heard a few names, and their hearts that were already pinching became even more severe.
In other words, if you don't hear your name now, you are destined to be worse than the previous people.
He Dazhuang's face was covered with sweat.
The unit where he interned was the Ministry of Finance. Although everyone said that there was no distinction between jobs and personalities, the Ministry of Finance couldn't be worse than the steel factory, right?
[Calm down, the salary in the steel factory is better now, so it is possible to be ranked first. 】
In the 1980s and 1990s, many people were actually unwilling to work in government agencies, but were willing to work in large state-owned enterprises because the welfare of large state-owned enterprises was better.
It doesn’t matter if you give away a lot of stuff during the New Year and the holidays. The main reason is that you have liquidity in your hands, so the bonuses are high and there is plenty of housing.
Even in later generations, the life of ministries and commissions will not be as easy as that of many state-owned enterprises.
But after reading the names of more than a dozen people and still not hearing "He Dazhuang", He Dazhuang's face turned pale.
After all, He Dazhuang is a member of the class committee. His academic performance is stable and in the top ten. He never participates in various activities. He is also a member of D. This assignment result cannot be wrong, right?
[There can be no mistake. They must not be in order. Didn't you read Li Ye's name without looking at it? 】
He Dazhuang wiped his sweat and looked sideways at Li Ye.
At this moment, He Dazhuang was definitely not the only one looking at Li Ye.
Chen Xiaoling, Pu Xianghe, Fu Lianbing, and the dozen or so other people whose names were read earlier all turned to look at Li Ye.
[Could it be that he really wants to return to the provincial capital of Dongshan, but his target is from the capital city? How is that possible? 】
At this time, most college students are assigned to two situations, either staying where the school is, or returning to their place of origin.
In addition, some will be randomly assigned to various parts of the country, and this randomness may not be as good as returning to their place of origin. For example, people from Shanghai are assigned to Datietieling.
Wen Leyu has a registered permanent residence in the capital, so she is 99% likely to stay in Beijing. If Li Ye returns to the provincial capital of Dongshan, wouldn't it be like beating a mandarin duck?
Besides, Li Ye is a famous figure in the class! Why isn't he first on the list?
In the past few years, the Gujun Literary Club founded by Li Ye and others has brought a lot of foreign exchange to the school. Without credit, there is still hard work, right? You can't be so unkind.
"Li Ye."
The instructor suddenly read Li Ye's name, paused, and looked up at Li Ye.
Then he repeated: "Li Ye, you have been assigned to Jingcheng Light Vehicle Company."
"."
Silence fell.
Everyone in the classroom was stunned, and it took a long time before they suddenly became noisy.
"BJ Light Vehicle Company? What kind of company is that?"
"That's right! We haven't heard of it! Isn't this a small factory?"
"."
"Stop arguing."
After hearing the noise from everyone, the instructor Zhao Zhiqiang said consolingly: "I have inquired for Li Ye. This company is over there in Haidian. It is a new unit that was spun off from the original Haidian Automobile Manufacturing Plant. It is very promising. ”
"."
"Is it the Jingcheng Second Automobile Factory that produces the Jingcheng 130? I even passed by it when I went to Haidian to find my classmates!"
"Hey, it's good to finally stay in the capital."
"."
Although many people comforted Li Ye that he was staying in the capital after all, Chen Xiaoling and Pu Xianghe, who were close to him, still found it incredible.
"I remembered the article Li Ye published in the newspaper. He talked about developing heavy trucks and light vehicles."
Only then did everyone remember that more than half of Li Ye's article advocated the development of light vehicles.
Chen Xiaoling couldn't help but complained anxiously to Li Ye: "Why did you say you wrote that article? It's all because of He Dazhuang's crow's mouth."
Seeing Chen Xiaoling's anxious look, Li Ye shook his head and smiled.
How did they know Li Ye's plan.
Jingcheng Light Vehicle Manufacturing Company has three shareholders, namely Haidian Automobile Factory (Jingcheng's second automobile manufacturing plant), Hong Kong Island Seris Company, and COFCO, where Wen Qingsheng works.
So, which family will Li Ye's relationship end up with?
If Wen Leyu went to Zhongxin Company to fight the fairy game, then Li Ye went to the Light Vehicle Company to fight the fish pond game.
The upper limit of the Fish Pond Bureau is very low. It is only a deputy department-level unit, but the clearance speed is also faster!
You are all carp, crucian carp, and small loaches, but I am a koi carp with money and a Dragon King background, and this fish pond is connected to the sea!
"He Dazhuang, Finance Bureau of Gormu City, Qinghai Province"
"."
"The rest of the people will go back to their places of origin."
"."
He Dazhuang sat there coldly, his mind buzzing for several minutes.
He couldn't accept the current result at all. It was clear that the teacher who took him as an intern was very optimistic about him.
But now, why was he sent to Qing Province with a stick? You might as well let me go back to my place of origin!
Everyone's eyes moved from Li Ye to He Dazhuang.
In the past few days, he was the one who jumped the most in the class, and he fell down quite a bit.
Facing everyone's gaze, He Dazhuang wiped the sweat from his face, looked at Li Ye with a forced smile, and began to change the topic.
"Li Ye, let me tell you! You shouldn't submit so many manuscripts. It's too easy to get sidetracked. If it hadn't been for that manuscript, you might have been assigned to a ministry."
Li Ye glanced at He Dazhuang and smiled faintly: "In this world, there are not so many wishes that come true. Most of them are contented and contented."
"Let everything go as it comes? Contentment always makes you happy."
He Dazhuang smashed his mouth and swallowed, as if he tasted the full bitterness.
If one can be successful, who would want to be content with what they have?
