Chapter 621 Four Joys
“Jungguk!”
"ball!"
"Fuck you! You bamboo pole!"
"Ha ha!"
“Hahahaha~!”
The two hugged each other warmly and patted each other on the back.
The person who came was Qin Zhengguo's classmate, his childhood friend, and his best friend since childhood.
Sun Sixi, because of this name, everyone gave him the nickname Wanzi (Si Xi Wanzi) when he was a child. As for Qin Zhengguo, he has been thin since he was a child. When he was in school, he looked like a bamboo pole because he was so tall, so he also got the nickname Bamboo Pole.
"I'm sorry, I didn't have time to go to your brother's wedding yesterday. Bring this to him. I wish him a happy wedding, a long-lasting marriage, and a son soon."
After meeting each other warmly, Sun Sixi took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Qin Zhengguo, apologetically. Qin Zhengguo took it with a smile, stuffed it directly into his pocket, and pulled him to sit down.
"What's wrong? Are you busy at work?" Qin Zhengguo asked with concern after pouring a cup of tea and handing over a cigarette.
Sun Sixi nodded, took the cigarette and said, "Aren't all the people working on the Four Modernizations now? Our unit has also been working on it these days. I was sent on a business trip to Fengtian a few days ago, and I just got back at noon today."
"Go to Fengtian? To discuss business? I remember you are not in charge of business, right?"
"It can't be considered a business. I'm just going to inspect the sister factory over there and accompany the factory leaders to the province to build some connections." Sun Sixi replied.
Qin Zhengguo nodded slightly. Sun Sixi's workplace was very good. The factory he worked in was one of the few old-established enterprises in his hometown - Radio Factory No. 7.
This company mainly produces military products, such as radar, electronic measurement, application instruments and medical instruments, and is very famous locally.
Sun Sixi is a cadre in this factory. He was able to get into this factory thanks to the old man of the Sun family. Sun Sixi's grandfather was an old military-to-civilian cadre, and his father also worked in a military-industrial enterprise, and his position was not low.
During the years when Qin Zhengguo was an educated youth, Sun Sixi joined the army. After working in the army for a few years, he was demobilized and returned to his hometown, and then he was arranged to work at Radio Factory No. 7.
Because he joined the organization during the military service, and he had a high level of education and connections above him, he rose from an ordinary worker to a leader over a few years. He now works in the factory office, and seems to be the director or something.
Sun Sixi and Qin Zhengguo have had a very good relationship since childhood, and the two are like brothers. Although Qin Zhengguo became an educated youth and Sun Sixi went to the army, the two lost contact for a while, but the deep feelings they had since childhood have always been there.
After the educated youth returned to the city, Qin Zhengguo returned to his hometown and had nothing to do. At that time, there were too many educated youth returning to the city, and the city could not accommodate them at all. Many educated youth became unemployed young people, and only a small part of them were able to find jobs.
In fact, Qin Zhengguo was not without opportunities at the beginning. After all, Lao Qin had not retired yet. Lao Qin was an employee of the railway system and a cadre. He still had some power. If he was thick-skinned and looked for his superiors, or even directly intervened to arrange it, he would definitely have no problem getting a temporary worker, even a formal worker would be possible.
But everyone knows Lao Qin's personality and temper. He is warm to outsiders but very principled towards his family. Especially when it comes to his son's work, he will never interfere to help. In his words, doing so is like taking a backdoor and taking a crooked approach.
Because of this matter, Qin Zhengguo was very dissatisfied with Lao Qin, which was also the main reason why he decided to go to Shanghai to join Song Yuanchao.
At that time, Sun Sixi learned about Qin Zhengguo's situation and was also trying to help him. Unfortunately, Sun Sixi had not been in Radio Factory 7 for long and was not even a cadre. To help Qin Zhengguo, the old man had to come forward, but it was not easy to get the old man to say hello. It took time and opportunity.
When Qin Zhengguo went to Shanghai, Sun Sixi went to see him off specially and secretly gave him 18.30 yuan. This was a lot of money, almost half of Sun Sixi's monthly salary at the time. The fact that he could do this for his friend was enough to show what kind of person Sun Sixi was.
Qin Zhengguo had given his parents a sum of money before, but later this money, including some of his parents' savings, were "borrowed" away one after another. Qin Zhengguo was very angry when he learned about this. In order to avoid a similar situation from happening again, Qin Zhengguo specially contacted Sun Sixi and talked to him about this matter.
Leave some money with Sun Sixi and ask him to help take care of the family, but this must not be known to Lao Qin.
This time when Liuzi was getting married, his family couldn't come up with any money at once. When Sun Sixi heard about it, he took the initiative to go to Qin's house under the pretext of being Qin Zhengguo's classmate and childhood friend, and then "borrowed" some money from Liuzi, which solved the urgent problem.
Qin Zhengguo had contacted Sun Sixi before he came back. They had originally agreed to come over for the wedding banquet on the day of Liuzi's wedding, but Sun Sixi couldn't make it back at the last minute. He called the hotel the day before yesterday and changed the time to today.
Not long after we sat down, the food and drinks arrived.
Although his hometown is in Liaodong, its seafood is also very famous due to its geographical location. Qin Zhengguo ordered a few signature dishes and some seafood. The table was full of food and wine, and Sun Sixi stared with his eyes wide open.
"No wonder you've become so fat, is that how you eat? Can we finish all these dishes just the two of us?"
Sun Sixi couldn't help but ask. The amount of food in Liaodong is not comparable to that in the south. Each dish comes in a big pot. What Qin Zhengguo ordered is enough for two people, let alone the two of them.
"Tomorrow is Sunday, and you don't have anything to do anyway, so just take your time to eat. Come on! Si Xi, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a drink first!"
Qin Zhengguo picked up the wine in front of him with a smile, and Sun Sixi also raised his glass. The two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
While drinking and eating, the two good friends had not seen each other for several years and had endless things to talk about.
They started by talking about their childhood and gradually talked about their respective situations. Sun Sixi had been married for a long time, and his wife worked in a credit union, which was a very good unit.
Two years ago, Sun Sixi and his wife gave birth to a big fat boy, who was a few months younger than Nini. Sun Sixi was very happy.
When it came to children, the two men excitedly chatted with each other, took out photos from their wallets and showed them to each other, laughing so hard that their eyes were invisible.
They talked about the child, then his mother, and then their current situations.
"You are now a big boss in the south. When you left, I was worried that you would not be able to make it out there. I didn't expect that you would be doing so well in the blink of an eye." Looking at Qin Zhengguo, Sun Sixi couldn't help but feel a little envious. Although he is now also a cadre of a state-owned enterprise, he is called "Director Sun" both in the factory and outside, but to be honest, what's the point of being a cadre? It's just superficial. The monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan. Moreover, there have been some bad signs in military-industrial enterprises in the past two years. It is said that the higher authorities want to change the current situation of military-industrial enterprises, no longer take on too much, and let these enterprises be self-reliant and bear their own profits and losses.
As a result, life becomes difficult for enterprises.
After all, the nature of military-industrial enterprises and ordinary state-owned enterprises was different in the past. Compared with local state-owned enterprises, military-industrial enterprises were backed by the military and their products were produced directly according to plan.
After the reform and opening up, the planned economy of local enterprises began to break down, which had a great impact.
But this impact has nothing to do with military . But who would have thought that it would be a short time before the knife suddenly chopped down on military enterprises. If all military enterprises can no longer rely on the unified purchase of the army to survive in the future, then the days ahead will be difficult.
"It's OK, just enough to make a living." Qin Zhengguo didn't explain his business in detail, even though Sun Sixi was his best friend. After all, Shenghua Company was so large that he didn't reveal that he was the boss of Shenghua when he came back this time, even to his family. He just told them that he and his friends had opened a small factory in Pengcheng, and then settled down in Hong Kong.
"You are still pretending, kid?" Sun Sixi rolled his eyes at him unhappily. "I heard that you opened a factory in Pengcheng, and there are dozens of people in the factory. Isn't anyone who can open a factory a big boss? What's more, you now have a Hong Kong hukou, so you are a Hong Kong compatriot."
"What kind of big boss is this? The factory has so many mouths to feed. Being a boss is not easy. If the business fails and no money is made, the first one to suffer is the boss."
"That's true. It's just like being a leader. The employees below don't have to worry so much when they go to work and come home every day, but it's different for leaders." Sun Sixi nodded, then shook his head and sighed, as if he was not very optimistic about the future of his unit.
"Why? Are you unhappy with your current job?"
"This has nothing to do with Shuxin. It's just that the news of the restructuring has already come out. According to the higher-ups, all military enterprises will have to be self-reliant and responsible for their own profits and losses, either in the second half of this year or next year at the latest. You also know what our unit produces. Most of these things are only needed by the military. Once we lose the military's orders, won't all the hundreds of people in the factory have nothing to lose?"
"Haha, if it really doesn't work out, why don't you come with me to the south? I can't say much about big things, but I'll definitely have no problem arranging a management position for you. As for salary and benefits, how much do you make a month now? Eighty or so?"
"Where did the eighty come from? I've only worked for a few years. I'm a cadre and I get paid well, only 66.53 yuan a month. Add in the allowances and all that, and the total I get is not even more than 75 yuan. Eighty? Do you think I'm the factory director?" Sun Sixi said with a smile.
"How about this, if you can come, I can't say how much more it will be, but I can definitely get this amount per month. If your wife can come with you, I will find a way to transfer her to a local bank. This should be no problem. Also, you don't have to worry about where to live. There are dormitories in the factory. You can have a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment with a toilet and gas. You can stay as long as you want, and there's no rent. What do you think? Consider it?"
Qin Zhengguo stretched out his hand towards Sun Sixi and gestured, then asked with a smile. Sun Sixi was stunned and a little moved...
