Chapter 54 Return(1/2)
"Comrade Fang Mu, did you see this? This is our future research center."
Wang Xiaolin pointed to the open space behind the TV factory and introduced it to Fang Mu.
Fang Mu looked at the horsetail grass swaying in the wind on the wasteland and fell into a long silence.
In order to join the research center of the Orchid TV Factory, he gave up his upcoming study abroad place, completely broke with his mother, and took a train for a day and a night to arrive in Ningzhou City.
All I saw was an empty space.
However, he seems to have no way to accuse Wang Weidong of deceiving him.
After all, Wang Weidong said at the beginning that the research center was under preparation, but there was no detailed introduction to the extent of the preparation.
It might be in the drawing stage right now.
Fang Mu was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Wang Xiaolin: "Comrade Wang, can I leave here?"
He thought that Wang Xiaolin would be surprised, but he thought that Wang Xiaolin just smiled, looked at the sun gradually setting in the distance, and said: "The factory director told me when he called that if you want to leave, our TV factory can help you right away.
You go through the formalities. It's just that he hopes you can stay here for two more days and visit the TV factory."
".OK."
Fang Mu also knew that it was already evening, and there was only one train back to the capital every day, which was at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
In the evening, after Fang Mu had a meal in the canteen, he prepared to go back to the guest house in the city to rest.
When passing by the workshop, he was stunned because there was a loud noise coming from the workshop.
He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was already half past six in the afternoon.
Logically speaking, it is already time to get off work, so why are there still workers working in the workshop?
In factories in Beijing, whenever it is almost time to get off work, workers will pack their things early and wait for the bell to ring.
Out of curiosity, Fang Mu slowly walked towards the door of the workshop.
As soon as he approached, he was stopped by a worker wearing a blue and black uniform with a red sleeve band on his arm.
"Comrade, the workshop is a very important place and no entry or exit is allowed. Which group are you in?"
Fang Mu was a little frightened by his vigilant gaze, scratched his head and explained: "I am not a worker in the workshop, I am a researcher hired by your factory director."
"Not a worker? Then you can't enter. Please leave now!" Hong Xiuhuan's expression became serious.
This completely aroused Fang Mu's curiosity. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Hong Xiuhuan.
"Sorry, smoking is strictly prohibited during working hours." Hong Xiuhuan waved his hand and pointed to the slogan on the wall.
Fang Mu looked back and saw that there were indeed large slogans painted in white and gray on the wall. In the middle was the slogan 'Fireworks are strictly prohibited in this important workshop area'.
On the left side of the slogan, there is also a large slogan: 'The Great Wall will never fall, domestic products should strengthen themselves'.
Domestic products should strengthen themselves?
This was the first time Fang Mu saw such a slogan. He touched it and quickly understood.
There is a bad trend circulating in society now, that is, it is believed that foreign products must be higher-end than foreign products.
Some of them are proud to buy foreign products.
In addition to the factors of worshiping foreign countries and admiring foreign countries, it is also an important factor that some domestic products are indeed lagging behind those of foreign countries.
To make iron, you have to be strong. It seems that Lanhua TV Factory has keenly realized this problem.
His eyes swept to the right, and he quickly noticed another slogan.
"Technology is power!"
The slogan was simple but powerful. Fang Mu felt excited in his heart and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
When he was in his junior year, he followed his teacher to do research work in major factories in Beijing during social activities organized by the school.
The master craftsmen in the factory are very skilled in their craftsmanship, and the products hand-polished by some senior masters are comparable to those polished by machines.
The factory leaders are deeply proud of this, but Fang Mu is very worried, because the machinery in these factories are relatively old, and the factory leaders have no plans to upgrade.
If this continues, how can we fight against the invasion of foreign goods?
At that time, Fang Mu always felt that the leaders of those factories lacked some kind of understanding. He thought hard for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
Now that he saw this slogan, he finally understood.
science and technology!
Those factory leaders ignored the power of technology!
To be able to write such a forward-looking slogan, there are talents in Orchid TV Factory!
Fang Mu couldn't wait to chat with him.
"These slogans were written by the publicity department of your factory?" Fang Mu suppressed his excitement and asked.
"Publicity Department? Ah, there is no Publicity Department in the factory. The slogans are all written by our factory director himself." The red armband mentioned the factory director, and his body suddenly stopped for a moment.
Fang Mu scratched his head: "Isn't your factory director a cook? Can you write such a good slogan?"
"What happened to the cook? A monk can still be an emperor!" Seeing that the factory director was slandered, Hong Armband said angrily.
"Yes, yes, I judge people by their appearance." Fang Mu smiled awkwardly, pointed to the workshop and asked, "It's already time to get off work, why are the workers in the workshop still working?"
Seeing him admitting his mistake, Hong Armband felt much better and said: "You should also know that the supply of TVs in our Lanhua TV Factory is now in short supply. In order to supply customers as soon as possible, the workers have taken the initiative to work overtime."
"Is it voluntary?"
"Of course, the factory stipulates that every worker who works overtime will be paid an extra thirty yuan a month. You are from the capital, and you may not understand the situation in Ningzhou City. Ordinary workers like us here will be paid an extra thirty yuan a month."
The salary is only a dozen yuan. Now the workers in our Lanhua TV Factory get fifty yuan every month including overtime wages. It can be said that you can never find such a salary in Ningzhou City.
It’s a high-paying job.”
The Fifty Yuan Orchid TV Factory is really wealthy. Fang Mu swallowed his saliva and said: "In the capital, there are not many people who can get a monthly salary of fifty yuan. But you should pay attention to your health."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Did you see it?" Hong Xiuhuan pointed to the cuff on his arm and said: "I am specifically responsible for limiting workers' working hours. There are regulations in the factory. Every day
A worker cannot work more than ten hours a day. However, most workers feel that the wages are too high and the work in the workshop is very light. If they only work for one hour, some feel sorry for the wages, so they try their best to work more."
Fang Mu: "."
It is normal for one or two activists with high ideological consciousness to appear in a factory.
However, it is rare for most workers in the entire workshop to be active.
Fang Mu felt that it was necessary to stay at the Orchid TV Factory for a while to better understand the masterpiece of Director Liu.
In the following days, Wang Weidong took Guan Tingting to transfer to famous universities in Beijing.
Because of the article in Science and Technology Times and the Zhou Yang incident, college students in the capital all knew that a TV factory with core technology had emerged in Ningzhou City.
However, he was not optimistic about Wang Weidong's research center. Although a few students signed up, Wang Weidong felt that their abilities could not bear the heavy responsibility of the research center, so he rejected them all.
Anyway, this trip has achieved its purpose of promoting the Orchid TV Factory. Wang Weidong was concerned about the factory and returned to Ningzhou with Guan Tingting.
At the train station, Guan Tingting looked at Wang Weidong's back disappearing into the crowd and wanted to call him to stop him, but in the end she did not speak.
She was already content to have Wang Weidong all to herself for two weeks.
She knew very well that Wang Weidong could not divorce Yang Maixiang because of her.
Wang Weidong did not go back to the factory, but took the factory's jeep back to the He family compound first.
He brought back many gifts from the capital, including some for his father-in-law, his mother-in-law and his uncle, and Yang Maixiang needed to send them there.
After getting out of the car, the driver helped Wang Weidong pick up his bag, and the two of them walked towards the courtyard.
People in the compound had not seen Wang Weidong for a while, and they all said hello.
"Hong Chang, you went on a business trip these days? What did you bring with you? Two big bags?"
Wang Weidong was not the kind of stingy person. He took out a handful of White Rabbit toffee from the bag and handed it over: "Sister-in-law, come here, eat some candies to sweeten your mouth."
Sister-in-law Zhou took the toffee and said sheepishly: "It's still the White Rabbit toffee. We rarely sell it in Ningzhou City. Hong Chang, you are so polite."
When the children in the courtyard saw him taking out toffee, they all gathered around.
Looking at the cute little faces, Wang Weidong took out a dozen more from his pocket and distributed them to the children one by one.
"Thank you Uncle Hongchang!"
"Go and play, don't fight, or else I'll beat his ass to pieces."
The children took the toffee, carefully peeled it open, and filled the innermost part with the film wrapping the candy. They rejected the sweet toffee and narrowed their eyes happily.
He Wentao and He Wenda watched on the sidelines and swallowed: "Er Zhuzi, can you give me a piece of candy?"
"Go, go, go. I only have three yuan in total, which is not enough to eat! If you want to eat, go to Uncle Hong Chang and ask for it. Ah, by the way, your He family has offended Uncle Hong Chang to death, and you don't even dare to go. Right
Isn’t that right?” Er Zhuzhu squinted at He Wentao and gloated.
He Wentao was like a little bully in the compound. Taking advantage of his age, he often bullied the children in the compound. Erzhuzi had long disliked him.
"You" He Wentao blushed and had a rough neck after being yelled at. He wanted to deal with Er Zhuzi, but when he saw several children behind Er Zhuzi staring at him eagerly, he had no choice but to give up.
He Wentao led He Wenda home, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
