In the afternoon, the house started to become crowded with people.
They all knew that Zhang Junping was leaving and came to say goodbye to him, or came to intercede with him while he was still at home.
"Uncle Yingxi, the furniture factory does not only have one batch, but will continue to recruit people later. If Xiangzi is not selected in this batch, he can wait for the next batch.
You ask him to learn carpentry from his second uncle and try to be selected in the next batch." Zhang Junping politely but firmly rejected Uncle Yingxi's request.
Years later, Zhang Junping selected 20 people from the carpenter class and went to Beijing with them.
Zhang Junxiang from Uncle Yingxi's family was not selected. He didn't know that Zhang Junping was leaving tomorrow, so he rushed to the house with an old hen in the afternoon to intercede with Zhang Junping.
Zhang Junping naturally couldn't agree. There were more than forty people in the carpentry training class. He only wanted twenty people this time, and there were more than twenty people who were unsuccessful. He agreed to Uncle Yingxi, but what about the other unsuccessful people?
After some hard talking, Uncle Yingxi was sent away.
"Pingzi, your third uncle said that the loan will be approved in three or four days. You don't want to leave until the loan is approved?"
"Second Grandpa, I won't wait any longer. There are still dozens of workers in Beijing waiting for me to go back and start work. I'll go back first.
As for the money, just ask my eldest sister to help me bring it there. I have already written the share purchase agreement. If anyone wants to buy shares, they can just sign it and fingerprint it."
"With so much money, can you rest assured that your eldest sister can hold it?" Second Grandpa asked worriedly.
"What are you worried about? It's not like my eldest sister is making the train alone, and there are twenty or thirty young men in the village following her. Are you afraid of being robbed?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
In fact, in this era, you can still handle post office remittances and bank remittances across cities. However, the amount is too large, and remittances through the post office or bank remittances are too public.
After all, it is illegal to misappropriate agricultural loans to build a furniture factory, so it is better to avoid it.
Therefore, Zhang Junping asked the eldest sister to bring the money over.
Many business people in this era are unwilling to use bank transfers or post office remittances. Instead, they carry money in a torn sack and travel across the country.
It has to be said that businessmen in this era are very courageous.
Early the next morning, Zhang Junping took a pile of food prepared by his mother and quietly left home.
I had to leave quietly. When I found out that Zhang Junping was leaving, my two nieces cried so much.
It took a lot of effort to coax him, but if he saw Zhang Junping leaving, he wouldn't know how he would cry.
Riding a bicycle and carrying his father on his back, he came to the county train station.
"Boss, take care of yourself, don't worry about your family."
"Got it Da."
"If you have time during the summer vacation, bring Huang Xue back..."
"Da, didn't we agree that you and my mother will go to Beijing together during the summer vacation?"
"With such a mess in our house, how can we get around?
You have received so much money for the shares, but if your mother and I both leave, who knows what trouble will happen."
"Well……"
Zhang Junping did not expect this. Also, the reason why the villagers believed him and dared to hand over the money to him was because his parents were in the village.
As the saying goes, a monk cannot escape the temple if he runs away.
"Da, you are overthinking. There are so many people in the village working with me in Beijing to make money. How can I still run away?"
"Forget it this year, there are too many things going on in the village this year, including raising chickens, raising pigs, and building greenhouses. I can't leave, and I don't feel at ease if I don't keep an eye on him.
Let’s wait until next year. We’ll go there again next year.” My father still refused the request to go to Beijing.
…
What I bought when I went back was a sleeper berth ticket. Only then did Zhang Junping realize that my China Art Association certificate could also be used to buy tickets.
The student ID card can only buy hard seat tickets, which are no longer available. If you want to buy them, you can only buy standing tickets.
Zhang Junping didn't want to stand all the way to Beijing, so he tried to take out his certificate from the China Art Association, but he successfully bought a sleeper ticket, which was also a soft sleeper.
The soft sleeper was emptier than the hard sleeper, and Zhang Junping was the only one in the carriage.
Each person has a carriage.
Lying in bed, Zhang Junping was thinking about his plans for this year.
The decision to buy shares was a spur-of-the-moment decision he made.
He does intend to use this money to expand the scale.
Liulichang is small again, especially since Zhang Junping bought so much old mahogany, Hainan huanghuali and golden nanmu, which makes the Liulichang furniture factory even more cramped.
Including the twenty people brought from home this time, the furniture factory will soon have more than one hundred people.
I am planning to acquire a piece of land and build a modern furniture factory.
The Liulichang Furniture Factory will not be abandoned. It can be used as a showroom to sell furniture in the front and provide art training in the back like the Wangfujing one.
Zhang Junping thought about it in his mind and fell asleep unknowingly. It was not until he woke up from hunger that he realized that he had slept all day.
Hypoglycemia occurred again, I was sweating all over my body, and my limbs were weak and trembling.
Fortunately, Zhang Junping was prepared. He slowly took out two pieces of toffee from his pocket and stuffed them into his mouth.
After waiting for a while, I finally regained my strength, no longer sweating, and my hands and feet no longer trembled, but I still felt tired.
I gritted my teeth and got up, went to the train connection to get a cup of hot water, made myself a cup of brown sugar water and drank it. I also ate two sticks and burned them, and then I felt better.
Hypoglycemia can occur quickly and resolve quickly. As long as you replenish sugar in time, it will get better soon.
I fell asleep again, and at around three o'clock in the morning, the train arrived at the terminal station, Beijing Station.
At around three o'clock in the morning, the train station was deserted, with only a dozen or so people who came to pick me up standing at the exit.
Unlike later generations, the square in front of the station is filled with people 24 hours a day.
Zhang Junping walked out of the train station carrying his things and found a tricycle.
It is not easy to find a three-wheeled scooter during this time.
The person riding the tricycle is a middle-aged man in his thirties.
In this era, people in their thirties are already considered middle-aged.
Unlike later generations, many people live in their fifties and feel that they are still young.
Life is not easy. If you are not forced by life, you will come out to work in the middle of the night.
It was just a few steps from the train station to Wangfujing, and the price was 50 cents. Zhang Junping didn't bargain, he just got on the bus and left.
When they arrived at DreamWorks, Zhang Junping gave him money and took his luggage to the side door.
The front door was the front room, and it was locked from the inside. It was probably Du Meili who locked the door from the inside.
Taking out the key and opening the side door, Zhang Junping entered the backyard.
As soon as I turned on the lights in the room, the lights in the west wing next to me also came on.
"Ping'er, why are you back at this point?" Liu Zhengwen walked out with his clothes on.
"Hey, Lao Liu, when did you come back?"
"He'll be back on the seventh day of the lunar month!"
"Brother Zhang, are you hungry? Can I get you a bowl of noodles?" Huang Juan also got dressed and walked out.
"No, sister-in-law, you can rest, I ate on the train, I'm not hungry!"
As they were talking, Du Meili came out of the east wing and said, "Director Zhang, are you back?"
"I'm back. Sorry for waking you all up. Please go back and rest quickly!"
