Walking on the streets of Panshan, Chen Lidong wanted to find a coffee shop or bar to have a drink or two to comfort Li Taishun. But there was none and he couldn't find it.

In this era, the service industry in small cities is still underdeveloped. There are video parlors and karaoke parlors on the streets, but they are not suitable for the current mood.

After walking around for a long time, Chen Lidong asked Li Taishun: "Senior, where are we going?"

Li Taishun looked outside the car: "Just put me on the roadside."

Put you on the roadside? There is a pile of stuff in the car, and let you sell rags on the street? "Senior, why don't you take you home?"

"Go home? No...not go home." Li Taishun didn't want to go home. He didn't want to expose his experience to his family.

Li Taishun's family is in a village near Panshan County. His father and mother contracted dozens of acres of land and earned an annual income of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, which is considered well-off in the local area. He also has a younger brother who is two years younger than him. When he was in high school, he talked about

I fell in love. I didn’t go to college. I started farming with my father and mother, and later I built a chicken farm with my partner, which was very profitable. My younger brother was married a long time ago, and the children are almost married. And Li Taishun is 31 this year and has no partner yet.

.My father and mother didn't understand his work. They only urged marriage when they met, and they couldn't talk to him. There was nothing that required Li Taishun at home, and he rarely came home.

I have been bragging to others, saying that I am doing scientific research and focusing on production in the factory. If I go back in such a disgrace, I will not be able to show off my face.

"How about finding a hotel and I'll stay there first," Li Taishun continued.

Chen Lidong was speechless. He turned around and ran to the Oilfield Hotel. He stopped the car. Chen Lidong ran to the front desk and helped Li Taishun check in. After the room was opened, Li Taishun walked in with his backpack. He probably found some clothes in the car.

and daily necessities.

Chen Lidong took Li Taishun up with the room key, opened the room for him, and said, "Senior, I'm next door to you. You need to rest for a while. I'll treat you in the evening." Then he went out.

At this time, Li Taishun remembered to say polite words: "I'll treat you tonight." But Chen Lidong had already left the room.

Li Taishun lay on the bed, feeling lost, regretful, helpless, discouraged, angry, and unwilling. He had a mixture of emotions. He was over 30 years old and had accomplished nothing after several years of work. How could he tell his family? The electrical machine factory had nothing to do with itself.

, the refractory material factory is said to be on the verge of death, so how will your career start? During the Spring Festival, I will go back to Ji City to have a reunion with a few close classmates. I also vowed to become famous in the mechanical and electrical industry. Is this a slap in the face?

Just thinking about it, turning over and over, there was a knock on the door. Li Taishun opened the door, and Chen Lidong walked in carrying a few food bags.

"What are you?" Li Taishun asked.

"Oh, you are not suitable for going out to eat in this state. You must be about 1.8 meters tall. You may get high as soon as you drink. If you get high, I won't be able to hold you up. Let's just make do in the room." Chen Lidong said, while

Food bags are placed on the coffee table.

The dishes are all appetizers, including pickled pig's trotters, fried small yellow croaker, mutton stir-fried with green onions, pot roasted peanuts, and cabbage hearts mixed with jellyfish. There were a few pairs of chopsticks but no bowls. Chen Lidong found a printed glass teacup from the hotel and opened a bottle of Old Village

The chief, poured a glass for Li Taishun and poured half of it himself.

"Come here, senior, let's do this, and you'll have thousands of sorrows once you're drunk." Chen Lidong and Li Taishun clinked their glasses, took a sip, and said, "I'll go, this wine is really strong."

Li Taishun also took a sip silently, put down the cup, looked at Chen Lidong gnawing on the pig's trotters, and said, "I'm so sorry to show you how embarrassed I am. How should I call you?"

Chen Lidong rolled his eyes. I introduced myself in vain in the factory, but you didn’t even remember it. “Chen Lidong, Mr. Zhai Hua’s student.” I called Zhai Hua sister, and she always pointed me out and said I was her student.

Nothing wrong.

"Oh, I know Professor Zhai. He is an expert in the field of electromechanics and microelectronics." Li Taishun replied.

"Come on, senior, here's another one. Guan Yu has already walked through Maicheng. In terms of success or failure, life is heroic, but it's just starting from scratch." When Chen Lidong touched it again, Chen Lidong took a sip this time.

Li Taishun thought to himself, what are you saying, comparing me to Guan Yu? Guan Yu's walking around Maicheng will cost his life, but I am still alive and kicking. Hey, drink, you are right, one drink will relieve a thousand worries! Boring!

Take a big bite. "You came to Panshan this time... on a business trip?"

"I came to visit my relatives and visit my aunt. A few days ago, I bought the patent for the high-efficiency asynchronous motor that you left in school when you graduated. I heard that you were here, so I stopped by to see you." Chen Lidong said.

It makes sense that the second goal was missed.

"Are you also studying mechanical and electrical engineering?" Li Taishun asked.

"I learn everything. Senior, what are your plans for the future?" Chen Lidong asked instead, not daring to talk about professional matters with the other party.

"I will report tomorrow to be the technical section chief of the refractory material factory."

"Oh, congratulations, Section Chief Li. But, you don't want to make motors anymore? Do you really want to play in the mud?" Chen Lidong asked.

"I have nothing to do with the electrical machinery factory. I have to obey the organization's arrangements." Li Taishun said.

"Haha, my senior, you are the backbone of electromechanical technology. You have been practicing at Ji University for six or seven years. If you are a professional, you will give up." Chen Lidong shook his head as he spoke. He picked up the cup and took a sip without saluting Li Taishun.

With his expression, everyone can see that he is a bit contemptuous.

"Haha, I was assigned by the Economic Commission, what else can I do after leaving the electrical machine factory?" Li Taishun also took a sip of wine, thought for a while, and replied.

"Oh, it seems you were really hit hard. Come on, let's drink first." He took another sip, and Li Taishun's cup was almost empty.

"Senior, believe it or not, in a few years, the little things you have learned will be eliminated, and your junior students will surpass you. When you want to do something again, you will be nothing." Chen Lidong began to incite.

.

"I am nothing to begin with." Li Taishun was a little embarrassed. This young man didn't talk like this.

"Forget it, let's drink. It's a pity. It is said that you once vowed to create a career in the mechanical and electrical industry, and that's it? Hey..." He went to clink glasses again.

Li Taishun did not hold the cup, but stared at Chen Lidong and said: "I have led workers to innovate, and our products have also won the provincial science and technology progress award. But in this era, people who are in charge are not given room to develop.

What's the point of telling you this?" After saying that, he drained the wine in the cup and poured the wine in the bottle into the cup.

"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Who doesn't have three ups and downs? Let me ask you, is it your fault that your motor factory has stopped production? Is it your fault that the workers can't get their wages? You were transferred

Is it your fault that you left your job?" Chen Lidong asked the core question that Li Taishun was struggling with.

Li Taishun was speechless. After thinking about it for a long time in the hotel in the afternoon, he couldn't figure it out.

Chen Lidong continued: "This is the pain that state-owned enterprises must go through when they shift from planning to market economy. What the motor factory encountered was triangular debt, a heavy burden, and a management system that could not be autonomous. Why did your old factory director resign? It was him

The opportunity was delayed. I think it was mostly because of favors. The debt burden was getting bigger and bigger. There should not have been so much credit at that time. How much does this have to do with you as a technology person? Enterprise restructuring is inevitable. Bankruptcy is possible.

For sale, just follow the rules. When you report asset appraisal issues, it is for the benefit of the workers. Why are those workers reluctant to leave you? You are not wrong, but you have merit. You should also believe that when the lid is lifted, the problem will be verified

, the interests of the workers will be protected. Come on, I respect you on behalf of those workers."

Chen Lidong drained the glass of wine, and Li Taishun also took a big sip.

Li Taishun asked, "Xiao Chen, do you think I still have a chance to return to the electrical machine factory?"

"My brother Shunzi, why are you stubborn? You are obsessed with building a dojo inside a snail shell while others are learning to fly thousands of miles. That electrical machine factory will definitely go bankrupt, and you will have to change your name in less than two months.

When you go back, will the workers listen to the new boss or you?" Chen Lidong continued to undermine him. He came here to recruit people, but he couldn't let Li Taishun hang here with illusions. Then he said: "Senior, your

Your worth, based on your knowledge and mechanical and electrical skills, you must not go to a refractory material factory, otherwise you will be delayed. With your technical strength, you can get along anywhere."

Li Taishun asked: "Where can I go? Who can want me?"

"There are probably hundreds to hundreds of people making motors in the country, if not a thousand. You can do it anywhere. But I suggest you engage in research and development and technological innovation. There is a Xinghai Technology Company in Ji City, which specializes in supporting technology management and technology. Teacher Zhai Hua's

The student is the general manager there." Chen Lidong took out a red apple and started to seduce.

"What are the conditions like?" Li Taishun asked.

"You have a basic salary of 1,000, a house and a car, enough research and development funds, and experimental equipment and materials are all fine," Chen Lidong replied.

"Haha, are you here to recruit people? Are you targeting me?" Li Taishun stared at Chen Lidong and asked. Chen Lidong arranged for him to check in in the afternoon and drank with him. He felt that there was something wrong with him being so attentive to him. Listen,

Chen Lidong was enlightening, motivating, and making conditions. Chen Lidong was not his relative. If anyone told him these things for no reason, he would really be a fool if he didn't understand.

Chen Lidong was also thinking that graduate students in this world are definitely not fools, so he stopped beating around the bush and stared at Li Taishun and said: "Senior Li, let's just say it directly, I am the investor of Xinghai Technology, and Professor Zhai is my teacher.

It is true that her student is the general manager of the company. What I just mentioned is just the basic conditions. My family also has a machine repair company with an annual output value of more than 100 million and profits and taxes of tens of millions. It is building a motor manufacturing factory that will use the latest technology.

, first-class equipment. If you can take the lead in developing new results and realizing industrialized operations, you will also share the profits in proportion. The specific proportion depends on the input and output. It will be decided at that time, how about it? "

Li Taishun looked angry and said: "You fooled me all afternoon, how dare you ask me to work for you?"

"Senior, you can't say that. I am inviting like-minded partners to revitalize industry, pilot the sea of ​​commerce, and serve the country with industry." Chen Lidong looked at Li Taishun with shining eyes, thinking to himself, I put interests and feelings together, so I don't believe you, a technology expert.

Not suitable.

"I don't see your sincerity. Let's drink this glass of wine first." Li Taishun snatched Chen Lidong's glass, filled it up, and carried it over.

I... this cup is four taels, do you want me to drink it all in one gulp? It’s terrible! However, it’s worth it to exchange a glass of wine for a cow and a cow. After thinking about it, I drank a glass of wine. I felt that my throat and stomach were burning.

, the wine was overflowing, suppressing his surging stomach, Chen Lidong turned the bottom of the cup down and looked at Li Taishun: "How is it?"

Li Taishun laughed, "Did you really do it?"
Chapter completed!
