Chapter 97 Arrangements
Wang Bo was injured and hospitalized, and Li Zhongxin had to go to Zhongxin Company in person to arrange some New Year matters.
He and Wang Bo had already decided to go to County F to celebrate the New Year, and arranged everything in advance to avoid chaos.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, Zhongxin Company will provide some benefits to its employees. As for what the benefits will be, Li Zhongxin is still considering them.
But! He knew that either no benefits would be given, or if benefits were to be given, the best benefits in Jiangcheng would have to be given.
The most scarce items in the 1980s were refined grains, meat products, canned goods and other items. Many of these items were unavailable even if you wanted to buy them.
In recent times, Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket Chain has been actively exploring markets and purchasing channels, and has cooperated with the largest slaughterhouse in Northeast China. By the Chinese New Year, it will be able to provide Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket Chain with 300 pigs.
However, Li Zhongxin has not yet decided whether to give each employee of Zhongxin Company half a pig, or whether to give each person a dime (that is, a quarter of a pig) and some other items such as cans.
According to Hong Bin and Wang Bo's ideas, during the Chinese New Year, they don't have to go through so much trouble and just pay the employees directly. As long as the employees have money, they can buy whatever they want, and no one will pick on Zhongxin Company.
.
However, Li Zhongxin does not want to simply give out money. The effect of giving money is still much worse than the effect of giving out items.
In particular, there are many people in Zhongxin Company living in rural areas, so it is very difficult to buy something. If we simply give out money, many people will be reluctant to pay for it.
Li Zhongxin also thought about issuing shopping coupons for the Zhongxin grocery chain supermarket, but he gave up after thinking about it.
If you do this, the benefits will not go to outsiders, but it will bring some uncomfortable feelings to the company's employees, and it is not even as practical as everyone expressing solidarity.
After some careful consideration by Li Zhongxin, the tone was finally set.
The employees of the entire Zhongxin Company (excluding Zhongxin Studio, after all, the people in Zhongxin Studio are out of town, and they can’t take back the food they give out), including fishermen and fish sellers, including supermarket and wholesale staff, all employees are here
Before the Chinese New Year, everyone can receive half a piece of pig, and everyone will receive two bottles of canned fruit, two bottles of canned fish, and two bottles of canned luncheon meat.
In addition to these things, after the vegetables from Zhongxin Company’s greenhouse come out, each employee can receive two kilograms of fresh vegetables.
Before the Chinese New Year, all employees can also receive a ten-yuan coupon at the Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket. This coupon can be used as ten yuan and spent at any supermarket in the Zhongxin chain.
Each employee will also receive five kilograms of dumpling powder and five kilograms of soybean oil.
The last five kilograms of dumpling flour and five kilograms of soybean oil were Li Zhongxin’s last thought. By doing this, we can ensure that all employees of Zhongxin Company can eat delicious dumplings during the Chinese New Year, have enough soybean oil to eat, and live a healthy life.
A good year.
Finally, Li Zhongxin also told Dong Zhiguo something. After the vegetables from the Chinese New Year greenhouse came down, he would give him a list of people. Each person would give him a gift according to the standard for employees of Zhongxin Company to distribute things.
Zhongxin Company gives a New Year gift to those who have helped in the past and still have good relations with it now.
After explaining the employee welfare matters, Li Zhongxin asked Zhao Yuanyuan to take notes and list out the duty schedule of Zhongxin Company during the Chinese New Year.
Li Zhongxin believes that being on duty during the New Year is a big deal. Zhongxin Company has a lot of things here. If there is a problem, it will be a big problem.
Especially in the 1980s, fire prevention measures were extremely low. Once a fire broke out, the entire last year would have been in vain.
He set rules for those on duty, and Dong Zhiguo would come here to conduct inspections. If anyone was found to have failed to comply with the company's regulations, no matter who they were, they would be fired directly and never hired.
After arranging these matters for Zhongxin Company, Li Zhongxin specially called Hong Bin over. He and Hong Bin had a discussion, and finally decided that Hong Bin's safety and fire prevention and New Year activities arrangements would be all handled by Hong Bin.
Hong Bin came to execute it.
The rules are in accordance with the previous regulations. As long as someone touches the bottom line of the company's regulations or causes losses to the company, he will be fired directly.
Li Zhongxin no longer had to worry about things in the supermarket, and the company's affairs were almost arranged. Li Zhongxin found Li Yongguo and discussed with Li Yongguo the issue of holidays for Zhongxin Studio employees during the Spring Festival.
Li Zhongxin directly told Li Yongguo that Zhongxin Company would reimburse the round-trip train tickets, and the reimbursement was for the sleeper berth.
They could not take the items distributed by Zhongxin Company back to their hometown during the Chinese New Year. Except for the two young people who came later, everyone was given twenty Tuanjie and 1,000 yuan foreign exchange coupons, which were regarded as the company's welfare during the Chinese New Year.
Zhongxin Comics Studio has a lot of work now. If these people can come back here as early as possible after the new year, the task of delivering the manuscript cannot be delayed no matter what.
It’s not that Li Zhongxin has never thought about letting these people create at home during the Chinese New Year, but they don’t have the conditions of Zhongxin Studio at home, and during the Chinese New Year, all families are the same and need to visit relatives, so there is not much
It takes a lot of time and effort to do something like this.
As for how to arrange it, that's Li Yongguo's business. Anyway, all the affairs of Zhongxin Studio have been handed over to Li Yongguo. As for how he will arrange it, Li Zhongxin doesn't have to worry about that.
After the Laba Festival, it was the New Year. As the New Year was approaching, Li Zhongxin finally felt a lot more relaxed and was ready to live a good New Year happily.
Every time at this time, Jiangcheng will naturally become lively. People who have worked hard for a year take to the streets one after another and enter the state-owned stores to buy new clothes for their families, or buy some for their families in department stores.
Use fine fabrics and ask a nearby tailor to make new clothes.
At the end of each year, state-run barber shops and tailor shops are the busiest. People in the Northeast are very particular about not shaving their heads in the first month.
According to the older generation of Northeasterners, it is unlucky to shave your head during the first month of the year.
Li Zhongxin's mother Wang Yaqing's rhetoric is different from that of most people. Every year she says that if she doesn't shave her head in the first month, her uncle will die if she shaves her head in the first month.
Li Zhongxin has so many uncles. If he really shaves his head and something goes wrong with his uncle, Wang Yaqing can slap him to death.
At the end of the New Year, he and his third uncle were going back to his grandma's house in Fujin to celebrate the New Year. Before going there, Li Zhongxin had to do everything he needed to do, especially cutting his hair.
His grandmother's family lived in Xinglin Village in Toulin Town, below Fujin County. Li Zhongxin didn't know if anyone had their heads shaved there.
If there really weren't any people who shaved their heads there, it would be difficult to do it in the first month of the year.
A child's hair grows very fast, and it can grow a lot in a month. If he doesn't cut his hair for more than a month, his classmates will laugh at him when school starts.
Although Li Zhongxin is not afraid of being laughed at by his classmates at this time, he still wants to maintain his glorious image in the class.
At the state-owned barber shop in Ximenli, Li Zhongxin specifically told Jiang Panpan to cut his hair shorter. He had to go out during the Chinese New Year. If his hair got longer, it would be difficult to do it in the first month.
At that time, the price of a haircut was a dime each time, and Li Zhongxin was not clear about the price. When he went to the barber shop for a haircut before, Li Shangyong had to pay. After shaving his head, he forgot to ask how much it was, and just asked
He took out a five-yuan bill from his body and handed it to Jiang Panpan.
Li Zhongxin suddenly realized when he saw Jiang Panpan's weird and resentful look, and when Jiang Panpan went inside to find a large amount of cents.
Damn it! It’s really cheap to shave your head at this time. A haircut in a state-owned barber shop only costs a dime. Taking the lot of money from Jiang Panpan, Li Zhongxin said to Jiang Panpan with a smile: "
Aunt Jiang, I will remember to bring change when I come next time, I’m really embarrassed this time!”
Because of such an incident, Li Zhongxin only brought bathing utensils and a few cents when he went to Sanjiang Bathhouse to take a bath. If he had brought more money, other problems would have arisen.
The best bathhouse in Jiangcheng at that time was Sanjiang Bathhouse, one hundred meters south of the intersection of Xilin Road and Dexiang Road. At that time, being able to bathe in Sanjiang Bathhouse was also a symbol of luxury. Most people saved the money for bathing.
, wipe your body at home.
Seeing the familiar and cordial couplets in Sanjiang Bathhouse, Li Zhongxin's heart was filled with excitement, and his thoughts suddenly turned back to the future generations.
Li Zhongxin remembers very clearly that Sanjiang Bathhouse closed down due to poor management in the 2000s. At that time, countless people in Jiangcheng felt sorry for it. In the 1980s, that bathhouse could be said to be the best bathhouse in Jiangcheng, and it hosted countless people.
memory.
The old couplets posted on the door still read, "Business is booming all over the world, and wealth is reaching Sanjiang."
In 2017, in later generations, bathhouses were opened everywhere in Jiangcheng, and they were all large and luxuriously decorated bathhouses. Tickets were often priced at thirty-eight, sixty-eight, or eighty-eight.
One ticket, one ticket, including bathing, scrubbing, supplies and a massage.
Where is the Sanjiang Bathhouse? In later generations, a friend Li Zhongxin knew wanted to resurrect this old famous brand in Jiangcheng and invested a large sum of money in decoration. However, the publicity was not enough, and almost all the older people
I have never heard of Sanjiang Bathhouse reopening.
In 2017, the main level of consumption was young people around the age of thirty. Their concept of Sanjiang Baths was only the memory of the older generation, and they had no impression at all.
Because there were mistakes in the direction of the publicity and the target group, Sanjiang Bathhouse was not resurrected when it was resurrected for the second time, and was left half-dead.
Li Zhongxin had the idea of investing in shares at that time, but he didn't have much spare money at that time. Otherwise, he would really get involved in the bathing industry and prepare to see the prospects.
As long as the Sanjiang Bathhouse can hold on at this time, allowing people to recollect the old memories of the 1970s and 1980s, and engage in some old things with the color of memories, Li Zhongxin firmly believes that such an old thing that can evoke memories
Sooner or later the bath will be on fire.
Recalling the memories of later generations, Li Zhongxin saw the good times of the 1980s. In such an era, there were business opportunities everywhere. As long as there were no big mistakes, he even had the idea to enter the world immediately.
idea.
