The matter of competition for posts is not a secret. Long Ruohai also heard the news that the detachment was going to promote a deputy captain, but he didn't take it to heart.
When 'Little Zhuge' made a very mysterious appearance and came to report the news, he just said this very calmly: "'Little Zhuge,' do you think this is possible for me as a new comer?
If not, why should I worry about it?"
"That makes sense. Can't there be exceptions?" 'Little Zhuge' scratched his scalp, still a little unconvinced. Looking at his childlike partner, Long Ruohai said a little bitterly:
"It's not that I can't be special. The question is, do I have this blessing? If I had this blessing, I wouldn't stand there on the street for four years."
He is such a person who can take things and let them go. He never bothers himself with unnecessary things. This is what people need in life. Don't always disturb your mind with gossips.
.
Ge Qiaohua was busy inquiring about news all day long, while Long Ruohai continued his ordinary life. That afternoon, as soon as he returned home, his mother told him: "Your brother Leizi is here. He said yes
I went to the street to help the factory purchase parts, and I’ll be over for dinner later.”
Long Ruohai was overjoyed when he heard this. When he was working in Ningbei, he went to visit Shi Lei at his aunt's house. Because he was busy all the time, the two brothers didn't chat all day long. Today he is here and he has free time, so they can have a good gathering.
Last gathering.
It was already dark when Shi Lei came to Long Ruohai's house. Looking at him when he came in, he looked as tired as if he had fought a big battle. After a brief conversation, he realized that it was all about the word 'money'.
Since it was a factory built by laid-off workers who raised funds, it can only be said to be a "poor job". It is said that everyone raises funds, but in fact it is just a name. The worker who raised the least amount of money only paid 200 yuan.
Although many people participated in the fund-raising, basically everyone had a share. In this way, a total of only 450,000 yuan in stock capital was raised. Such a small amount of money should be more than enough for a small family to enjoy a happy life for a while.
But it's a bit nervous to run a factory. You have to buy machines, raw materials, space rent, and accessories. Of course, it won't be spacious. In addition, Shi Lei wants to get it right in one go and run the factory.
It needs to be more formal. In order to increase competitiveness in the future, it will also make funds appear to be stretched thin.
In the afternoon, I negotiated a batch of accessories at the textile machinery parts factory. The price is indeed very cheap, but the other party requires a certain transaction volume. This condition is not difficult. If the purchasing power cannot meet their requirements, why should I give up?
People lower their prices.
Since I was a second-hand machine, these accessories were of course indispensable items. The two parties struggled for a long time, but the other party refused to give in. I wanted to make a deal, but I was short of money, so I had to leave disappointed.
Hearing this, Long Ruohai already understood the dilemma of brother Lei Zi. A penny can kill a heroic man, let alone such a serious lack of investment. After thinking for a while, he turned to his father and said: "
Dad, can you take out the little money our family has saved and give it to Brother Lei Zi first? Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will be fine after a while."
He knew that his family had tens of thousands of yuan. Ever since he started working, his mother had insisted on saving Long Ruohai's salary in order to have money for her son to start a family. Even when the economy was difficult, she was not willing to use any of it.
.After five or six years of this, coupled with the income accumulated by my father working outside, I can be regarded as having a small fortune.
Long Ruohai has his own views on money. There are three major things in life, career, love and money. Some people confuse career with money, which makes sense, but only those who are doing business can do it.
The career of these people is money, and money is their career. If civil servants like myself are also lumped together, they will not be too far away from corrupt officials.
It is not easy to be an upright official. Like Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty, the kind of upright official who starved his daughter to death at home when she was a child, it is okay not to do it. It is just for a false reputation, but even the basic family affection is abandoned, which makes people
Don't dare to get close.
Western countries use high salaries to support integrity, which is a way out, but our country cannot do it for the time being. Moreover, there are many officials there who are rich themselves. Such people will have to increase their resistance to ill-gotten gains.
Long Ruohai also wants to be an upright official, but if he is so impoverished that he cannot even afford to buy a house, cannot pay for the increasing medical expenses, and cannot afford to pay for his children's education, it will be difficult to sustain such an upright official.
Some people explain the importance of money by saying "Money is not everything. Without money, nothing is possible", which makes sense. In our country, officials are allowed to live on meager wages while watching others enjoy themselves and be free and unrestrained.
it's out of the question.
Some people say that moral education and legal punishment can be strengthened to curb corruption and bending the law. This argument has some truth, but it does not fundamentally solve the problem. The director of transportation in a certain province has been replaced several times, one after another.
into the cell.
What does this mean? It means that it is human nature to be greedy for luxury. In the face of the temptation of feasting and feasting, there are indeed too few people who have self-control. There are also some officials who are from poor backgrounds. Before they entered politics, they were better than everyone else.
I hate corruption. After I became a high-ranking official, I became even crazier.
In history, there have been many big families who have been thinking about training their successors. Some families let their children enjoy and squander things just to make them accustomed to all this. Only after they really take charge of the family business can they be open to outsiders.
Turn a blind eye to temptation.
Although most of this kind of education failed, and in the end it only cultivated a group of dandy children. But it also illustrates a truth, that is, if you want to resist temptation, you must ensure your basic life. Only when you have money,
Only in this way can he ensure that he is a good official and an upright official. This is what Long Ruohai thinks.
If this problem is not solved and his wife, children and parents are left crying for food, clothing, housing and transportation all day long, he doesn’t know how far he can go on the road of being an upright official. Reality and ideals are a very real contradiction. Faced with this intolerance
How will he choose to avoid the conflict?
When discussing this issue with two best friends, Xu Wenjie sneered at this view. He pointed at Long Ruohai and said: "Are you stupid because of studying? If you don't get rich when you become an official, everyone will do everything possible to become an official.
What is it?
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver". Therefore, career and money are one and the same thing. They seem to be separate, but in fact they are integrated into one. Even
So, these two things are the same thing as love."
Xu Wenjie's theory is also somewhat unreasonable. He emphasized: "Everyone knows that money is not everything. I admit that money cannot buy love. But if you don't have money, you can't even marry a wife, so what's the point?
Love. You can't let your wife and children live in the open air?
Jia Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions" has no worries about food and clothing, and can discuss love with so many sisters and sisters. Jiao Da, who feeds the horse and has wine to drink, is enough, does he still dare to think about love? Haha. Do you think so?
This is the truth.”
Liu Qiang is a supporter of Long Ruohai. Of course he helped with the debate and used a personal experience to enhance his persuasiveness.
"You want to be an upright official, but you don't want to suffer. The best way is to take the initiative to participate in the economic tide. I went to Wenzhou to visit a relative, and they entertained me for a meal, which cost several thousand yuan. When I saw
With a dumbfounded look, the host explained that it is impossible to entertain you like this based on salary alone.
There is only one way out, and that is to do business. That is to turn the money in the bank into living money. Of course, business in his sense is a business that combines money and power. It means that a family, at the end of the day,
A good match is that one is in politics and the other is in business. Don't accept bribes, just play a side game, and you can make your life very comfortable."
This story is very inspiring to Long Ruohai. Of course, he will not use his power to do business, because he has no power. But it should still be possible and feasible to make his limited money more viable.
The last time he went to Shi Lei's house, Long Ruohai wanted to discuss this issue with Brother Lei Zi. It was just because Shi Lei was busy receiving workers who were setting up the factory that he didn't have time to talk. After returning home, he also analyzed it with his father.
pros and cons.
It was just because I didn't know Shi Lei's background that I didn't rashly come up with the idea of investing in shares. When it comes to money, no matter how good the friendship is, it's hard to talk about it easily. Otherwise, people will misunderstand you and think you have 'pink eye' and are covetous of others.
wealth.
When Shi Lei explained the situation today, Long Ruohai felt relieved. His parents were laid-off workers, so it was reasonable and legal to invest a small amount of shares in a relative's factory. Moreover, there were many advantages to investing at this time.
First of all, Shi Lei is in a difficult period, so it is a timely help. It is much better than adding icing on the cake in the future after the company is prosperous. Secondly, Shi Lei is a family member, knows his roots, and has a reliable character. He will not let the money he has saved through hard work be used by others.
The water floated.
Also, from Liu Qiang’s introduction, the situation in the textile industry is relatively promising. Investing at this time is much better than putting money in the bank. If done well, your family can enter a well-off society in advance. It can also
Let yourself better withstand the test of "sugar-coated bullets" in your future work.
As soon as the father heard what he said, he understood what his son meant, and he said readily: "Okay, if we put all the family property together, and can collect 50,000 yuan, I will give it all to you, Shi Lei."
When he first heard this, Shi Lei was a little stunned. After it was confirmed, he was a little ecstatic. If it weren't for the lack of funds, he wouldn't have wasted so much talk in the textile accessories factory without achieving the effect. The 50,000 yuan
Yuan Qian is indeed a timely rain.
He was also a sensible person and immediately expressed his position: "Uncle, aunt, Xiaolong, thank you for your support. Leave the money with me, and I guarantee that it will never be lost. Our original capital was 450,000 yuan in stock capital, plus you
For my family, it’s five hundred thousand.
In this case, you will hold 10% of the shares. Brothers, please settle the accounts tomorrow. I will ask the accountant from the factory to come and send you the contract. Once the contract is signed, everyone can do things easily."
After Shi Lei left, Long Ruohai continued his ordinary life. Life is like this, intertwining between peace and turmoil. There will be no permanent peace, nor will it always be in turmoil.
