Chapter 113

Zhang Weiguo said he would go, Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo were also very excited, they haven't visited their mother yet, and they want to go too.

But they can't go if they want to.

The curriculum of each department is different, and Zhang Weiguo is a senior, he has more free time, Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo are busy, it takes too much time to go back and forth, and it will not be of much use to them

On the contrary, it is useful for Zhang Weiguo who is about to enter the workplace soon.

Zhang Baoguo didn't speak at all, he wanted to go too, but he knew he couldn't go.

Unless he used his own vacation to go, but his own vacation time was too short to support the journey from south to north.

It would be great if airplanes became popular, he sighed, or the subway, which is much faster than the train.

This year, the capital's subway started to run, and he also went to experience it a few times, which was much better than the feeling on the train.

Neither Zhang Guo nor Zhang Dingguo can go, but Zhang Weiguo can. He signed up immediately, and waited for the notification to see if he passed. If he passed, he could go south with the teacher and the others to investigate, and he could drop by to see how his mother was doing there. .

If he has time, he can go back to his hometown to have a look.

Of course, he just thought about it when he went back to his hometown to take a look.

It would be nice to be able to get together with my mother for a day or two on the way. Even if I can go south, I will go with a mission. I don't know if I will have time then.

He was excited at first, and then went to do his homework. The special zone has attracted a lot of attention, and there are many related reports. He looked for it again. Signing up does not mean that he will be selected. Grandpa Wen also said that he should do it well in advance. Prepare.

He had paid special attention to the news over there because of his mother's situation before, and now he went to the library to find more materials to take notes.

The situation on the other side is very good. Just by looking at his mother, there are many opportunities for development, and the changes are fast. He has to do a thorough homework in advance and do research when the time comes. He doesn't want to just be an unknown little follower.

If his views are very forward-looking, or unique, and are appreciated by the people above, this will also be very helpful for his future work.

Once this year is over, he will go to practice in the second half of his senior year.

The homework he did was not in vain, many people signed up, the teacher did the assessment, he passed, and became one of the eight students, all of whom were seniors.

This time there are two teachers leading the team, Tang Keping and Xiao Wanyan, who will conduct research separately. Each will lead 4 students to observe the special economic zone from all aspects, find out its advantages and disadvantages, and think about whether its model is worth implementing. , what will be the impact and so on.

The list was finally arranged. He was in the same group as Mr. Tang Keping, and Zhang Weiguo called Su Hui to inform him.

Su Hui was busy when she heard the news. After hearing the news, she said she knew, and asked about their date and approximate itinerary.

He's been here for a long time.

She is busy shipping now.

The sauce business that Wang Haiwen brokered was good. The first batch was sold and put on the shelves, and the second order was received in less than a month, and the quantity tripled.

For Wang Haiwen's sake, they placed an order, but the first order was only tentative. Now that they have received feedback, it is different. Providing customers with high-quality products is also their purpose.

Knowing that their products can be sold overseas, the workers are all motivated and work harder. I used to think that the boss was too fussy, and I had to wash my hands and change clothes every step of the way to ensure hygiene, but now I don't think it is cumbersome.

There was also a call from Australia, and he introduced her to other businesses. Su Hui sent him the goods and gave him a big discount to express his gratitude.

Apart from these overseas markets, the domestic market is something Su Hui doesn't want to give up.

In China, her main goal now is to sell and recruit agents. It is best to be able to sell to supply and marketing cooperatives, especially nearby supply and marketing cooperatives.

Their signboard is quite easy to use. This is a product that is exported to foreign countries. It is high-quality, cheap, and high-end. , a new version, and the sauce with a slightly different taste was launched, and there was no shortage of sales at all, and it was booming.

Good taste, also sold to the capital, still in charge of by Cao Yanhong.

She recruited two other people, and built a new room next to it, which was dedicated to the sauce business.

Cao Yanhong is full of motivation. She is now a person with two salaries. She now has a monthly salary of more than 100 yuan, which is much higher than those of formal workers. The salaries of Liu Xiaoyi and Chen Liu They were also satisfied, with salary plus bonuses, and they never considered leaving.

Although this job is not pleasant to say, whoever does it will know, and once you come, you don't want to leave.

They are a little bit busy when the goods arrive, but not all the time. They are more leisurely at other times, even if they are busy, they are willing to do so. All efforts are rewarded.

Wu Shenghai was also rewarded. He contacted Su Hui directly, and then became an agent as well. The part he represented was in the north of the capital.

There is still a vast undeveloped land there, waiting for him to occupy it.

Regarding his situation, it is different from Cao Yanhong. Su Wei has already dealt with the rest on Cao Yanhong's side. She just needs to follow the regulations. Wu Shenghai completely depends on his sales channels, delivery channels, etc. When it's all up to him, Su Hui doesn't care what he does. He will give him a wholesale price, and he can charge as much as he wants. The brand doesn't change, and how much he wants to sell is his business.

He personally did not do much at the beginning, but he has been improving.

At the beginning, he put all his wealth on it, and then he became a ten thousand yuan household without making a sound.

But his 10,000-yuan household is very low-key, and he didn't make any noise at all. His wife didn't tell, let alone his family members. He was not welcome at home, and his wife and children suffered a lot of grievances.

After he earned money, he didn't dare to tell his wife right away, fearing that something might happen, and he didn't immediately improve the family's conditions. Instead, he continued to spend all his money on it. If he lost money, he would have to start all over again before returning to the liberation Furthermore, he didn't leave any room for himself, but fortunately, the heavens were kind to him, just as he thought, this is a thriving market.

His ten thousand yuan quickly doubled.

Only then did he spend part of it to buy a house, and took his wife and daughter there, so that he no longer had to depend on others.

Yes, even if it was his own parents' home, his life was not much different from living under the fence, it was already his brother's home.

After moving out, he told his wife exactly what he had done. There was some blame and he shouldn't hide it from her, but seeing his achievements, his wife also set foot on this road with him.

The children who are old enough to go to school go to school, and those who are not accepted by the elementary school are sent to the nursery. The husband and wife work hard together, take risks together, and live a splendid life.

"Bang bang bang bang—"

The train moves regularly.

The people in this carriage were all holding books, or talking with each other in a tacitly lowered voice.

A group of them went to the Southern Special Zone for research.

Both teachers and students bought sleeper tickets. Sitting or standing along the way was too hard. They needed to recharge their energy so that they would have enough energy to do research when they arrived.

As for the sleeping berth ticket, the teacher is okay, they already knew about it, and the students were pleasantly surprised, they thought they would travel with a seated ticket.

There are still more poor students among the current students. Among the 8 people in this line, in terms of economic strength, Zhang Weiguo can rightly say that his family is the best now. After all, if he buys a house with hundreds of thousands, his mother will take it out. Yes, there are also two people from good backgrounds, both of whom are cadre families, and one is from a high-level intellectual family, whose parents are high-level intellectuals, and the other is a child of a capitalist who would be discriminated against in the past. Economic strength ranks second.

The remaining four are the children of ordinary workers. There are also children of peasants, but they are few. Apart from talent and hard work, there is another limitation for those who can be admitted to Capital University, that is, a certain family economy. Children will not be sent to school at all, they will not even have the opportunity to go to school.

To their surprise, most people can't buy a lie-in ticket, because it is not for sale, and it can only be bought by workers with tasks or cadres.

After the novelty at the beginning, they continue to learn, and they still have a lot to master, so that they can make full use of time to understand what they want to know when they arrive at the destination, instead of wasting some things that they already know before.

Seeing the hard work of these students, the two teachers who led the team were also very pleased.

This time, the teachers and students were very mixed. The students selected suitable candidates from the students who signed up. These two teachers also passed the assessment in the teacher group before they could be the leaders.

Among the two of them, the main person in charge is Tang Keping, a friend of Wenhuaqing, a professor of economics. He studied abroad before, and his qualifications are undisputed. He is also respected and loved by everyone in their department. a professor.

After being assigned to Teacher Tang Keping's group, the four of them naturally became familiar with each other. Among these few classmates, Zhang Weiguo and Tang Keping's high-ranking disciples were especially able to chat.

After chatting with each other, they verified some of the opinions they had learned from each other and started a discussion. The discussion revealed: "Hey, I think so too, and you do too!"

"Where did you come from? Show me?"

"I also agree with the above point of view, we should not rest on our laurels."

"Yes, we have to open our eyes to see the world and open up the market step by step. This leaves a buffer and allows everyone to accept changes slowly and steadily."

"The world outside is changing with each passing day, and we cannot fall behind."

"Some people have a prejudice against the self-employed. In fact, they also get the fruits of their labor with their own hands. How is this different from hardworking people? Why can't they respect the fruits of their labor?"

"The circulation of commodities is also very important. Merchants are responsible for bringing the same commodity from one place to another. Before the shortage of supplies, people wanted to buy something, but the country's production could not be arranged, so they had to be out of stock. The public They also cannot enjoy the benefits of buying the goods they want to buy. If the market is opened, if they see a profit, there will be merchants who produce it from other places or sell it to the place to earn wages. .”

"Of course, but it must be strictly controlled. There are some markets that cannot be fully opened to individuals. For example, food is the most important thing for the people. If restrictions are relaxed too much, it is easy for grain merchants to stock up on food in times of disaster. High food prices have made people's livelihood difficult... "

"There are also national strategic materials such as oil and so on. These must be provided by the state, and some of the lesser ones can be..."

"Yes, both control and release are indispensable."

The more they talked there, the tacit understanding became more and more. They only hated that because they were not from the same department, they had no chance to interact with each other and missed so much time to communicate with each other.

Yan Lu came from a cadre background in his family, and he has been in contact with many things and a wide range of contacts, and he has been influenced by his ears and eyes at home.

Zhang Weiguo is also a person with a wide range of contacts. Apart from his own major, he has attended a lot of miscellaneous classes, including economics. After being told by his mother, he also went to attend several classes and felt that he benefited a lot. .

Yan Lu was also very impressed with Zhang Weiguo. Zhang Weiguo is quite famous in their school because he is a wit and a genius. Not to mention he was admitted to their university at a relatively young age. His grades are quite good, and ordinary people can't handle it, but he can do it, not only can he do it, but he can do it with gusto, impressively and impressively, even if people don't admire him.

I have read the articles he wrote a few times, and they are really well written.

While talking, he couldn't help being curious about Zhang Weiguo's mother.

Although Zhang Weiguo didn't open his mouth and shut up what my mother said, but what he said was obviously influenced by his mother. His mother is also a celebrity, and she was almost regarded as a model to be interviewed and commended. Later, it was said that his mother didn't want to be too public. Forget it, it's really admirable to say it.

There are four brothers in his family. All four brothers have been admitted to prestigious universities, and three are in their Capital University. Do you think this is amazing

What's more, their backgrounds are ordinary country people. The only thing unusual is that their father is a martyr. It is conceivable how difficult life would be without the only strong laborer at home. Little color, in such a family they can be cultivated like this, their mother must have contributed a great deal, it is said that his mother is a primary school teacher, she should be a very good teacher, and she is their guide in learning, later, some people were sent down Teacher Wen helped to teach, but that couldn't erase the credit of their mother.

Now, he was even more curious about her mother.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Weiguo said that he had a chance when the time came, and invited him to visit his mother.

He didn't mean to hide anything, usually he wouldn't take the initiative to speak out, and he wouldn't deliberately hide anything involved.

He behaved very frankly, and didn't think it was something inconvenient to tell others.

This is called by the state. They followed the state's policy, so could they be wrong

Hearing what Zhang Weiguo said, Yan Lu didn't refuse, he wanted to see him.

Not only did he want to see her, but Tang Keping also wanted to interview her. She has been there for so long and has made some achievements. She has been here since the special zone was officially established, so she must have her own independent opinions.

He went to Zhang Weiguo: "When you get there, tell your mother that we want to ask her some questions. It's not convenient for us to ask."

Shenzhen was put at the end of their itinerary.

They went to Zhuhai first.

Divided into two teams, and then they were stunned by the results here. They saw some photos and text descriptions before, and knew what it looked like before. Now, people, many people, they speak different languages, in Mandarin , Cantonese, body language, etc. to communicate in all communication methods.

The road is flat and spacious, and there are factories standing beside it.

When they went to the factory area, factory employees wearing factory uniforms and uniform faces were haunting one by one.

They went to the tall building, where there were many people wearing shirts, trousers, and shiny leather shoes in the morning.

Without exception, everyone is full and busy.

They also went to the construction site where the factory building was being built. Many shirtless men were sweating there. After passing through their hands, this place will soon become a bright factory building or office building.

The original yellow mud road was replaced by clean and tidy cement road and asphalt road.

Spacious and flat.

Riding a bicycle on such a road is very enjoyable.

And the smiles on the faces of the original residents here are also extraordinarily bright.

They randomly picked an old man who was chopping firewood at the door, and said they wanted to ask for a bowl of water. He welcomed them in very straightforwardly, and then they communicated.

The old man couldn't speak Mandarin, so Zhang Weiguo, who was born in the south, took on the important task of communication.

Listening to the interpreter, the five of them also looked at the place carefully at the same time. Seeing them looking at it, they praised the spaciousness of the house. The old man was very proud. Zhang Weiguo translated his words sentence by sentence: "This house was newly built this year. Originally, the family did not save enough money to afford a new one." The money for the house, but didn’t this place become a special zone later? Many people came, and my two sons both went to find work. They both grew up to be strong, so they went to work on the construction site. There are two or three a month ten."

"Later, my grandson and daughter-in-law went out to look for work, and they came back to help when the farming was busy, and worked in the factory the rest of the time. It didn't take long for me to save enough money to build this house."

Speaking of this, the old man is very proud and willing to say more.

The others listened and calculated silently in their minds. Tang Keping: "Are there so many factories recruiting workers? Can they all find jobs?"

Old man: "In the beginning, my two sons went to pick bricks for people on the construction site, and then gradually became proficient, helping to build walls. After a long time, my daughter-in-law and the others found jobs, and they were easy to find Work, careful, diligent and clean, with a job in mind, those in factories like to find such people to work in, but good jobs are hard to find, some jobs pay little money but are hard, always working overtime, No food or shelter."

"But there is still a lot of scrambling. Now that more factories have been built, more people are looking for jobs. I don't know if it will be as easy to find in the future."

Obviously, for the old man, this is a very proud thing.

His family's two sons, daughter-in-law, and adult grandchildren have all found jobs, which are not bad, and they make a lot of money every month.

"What about the work in the field? Is the field distributed to the family?"

"This place relies on our old couple and a few grandchildren who are still in school to help. They will help in the morning and evening when they are free. When they are not busy, they will ask for leave and come back. It is enough. We will discuss it for a while. It will be easier to raise a cow."

Tang Keping: "Will this affect production?"

The old man waved his hand: "No, no, now that I have money, I can buy fertilizer. I couldn't afford it before. There is fertilizer, and we take care of it. The output is quite good. Not only do I not need to buy grain, but I think there will be more in one year. In exchange for a little money, they go to the factory to pack lunch, eat more and eat less at night, which saves a lot.”

Tang Keping showed an envious expression on his face: "Comrade, your life here is okay. Let us come and take a look. I didn't expect such a big change, and everyone is living well."

The old man laughed, and said that he couldn't control the smile on his mouth: "I have a grandson who works in the bicycle factory. He is an internal employee. He plans to buy a bicycle for his family in a few months."

Tang Keping: "Then do you think there are any disadvantages when there are too many people here?"

The old man: "There are bad things, too many people come here, the crops in our field were not touched by villagers before, but now some outsiders secretly take them, and they also pick the fruits secretly. Stay there, there is no way, and there are too many petty thefts. You have to close the doors and windows at night, and the money in some people's homes will be stolen. After that, I will have a dog at home. If you have a dog, be more vigilant .”

Tang Keping made a note of this.

"I saw a lot of chickens in your yard before."

"Yes, there are people who accept it. We do more when we have time at home. Some grow vegetables at home, and some raise chickens and ducks at home. After a month, the family's expenses are basically equal, and there is no need to pay extra money."

Tang Keping complimented: "Comrade, you will not do this life even if you are a god."

"I see that your thermos is new. I haven't seen this color before..."

Their utensils are also much richer.

They stayed with this very talkative old man for a long time and learned a lot, but of course they couldn't listen to him alone. They went to interview other local villagers one after another, and then asked some working people.

Some will not reveal their identities, and some need to reveal their identities. Generally, they are willing to say a few words. They will not tell the truth, but they can talk about the impact on themselves.

There was an honest man on the construction site, his eyes were red when he asked about this, and he said that he couldn't go on there, his mother twisted his back, his wife fell, the child in his stomach was gone, and he got sick, seeing this The family is going to be in trouble, and he has no choice, so he comes here to put all his eggs in one basket to see if he can find a way out for the family. As a result, he found a job here, and he has money to go back every month. His mother now eats every day The medicine has improved a lot, and so has his wife, and now his family is still fine.

If I had farmed the land honestly before and earned those few work points, how could there be such a result

There is very little money converted into a work point, and they only earn about ten yuan at the end of a year, and they can't do much at all.

He also said that with his example, there are fellow villagers who come to join him: "The boy over there, and the cement stirrer over there are all fellow villagers of mine, and the family is very difficult."

He didn’t know anything when he first came here. After a month of hard work, he could only get a dozen yuan. Now it’s much better, and he can get twenty or thirty dollars, but it’s not stable. He also talked about other people’s wages. He said, Dagong’s salary But it's high, seventy or eighty yuan a month, and there are more designers, all of which are hundreds of yuan.

They have worked hard for several days, and after counting these things, there is no doubt that the benefits account for the majority, which not only increases everyone's income, but also enriches everyone's living standards.

... finally arrived at the last stop, Shenzhen.

Su Hui has a house in the factory, and another house here in the center of the Special Economic Zone. It is a small bungalow on the second floor with a small garden. She also hired someone to take care of the sanitation. There is everything here, and occasionally she will receive guests here. guest.

The last time Su Zhong came to see her, it was here to entertain him. The factory building is not as elegant as here, but because of the busyness, living there can save time, and she is more settled in the factory building.

Now Zhang Weiguo and his party are here, and she is also here to entertain them.

On the night they came here, Tang Keping and the others went to stay in a hotel. Two teachers lived in a double room, and eight of their students booked two quadruple rooms.

On the night of arrival, Zhang Weiguo left first, greeted them, and went to find her mother according to the address.

According to Mr. Tang's plan, they will go around Shenzhen for a few times before visiting.

Su Hui was already there, Zhang Weiguo didn't know the way, and when he asked someone to arrive, Zhang Weiguo was shocked when he saw this beautiful little bungalow and the beautiful flowers in the garden, it was like a small house in a foreign movie ah.

It is indeed very similar, this one is designed according to the western style, of course it is very similar.

It was an elder sister in her forties who opened the door for him. When she saw him, she froze for a moment and then smiled and said, "You are the son of Sister Su, right? I am here to help clean up. Sister Su is in the house right now." Woolen cloth."

Zhang Weiguo smiled politely: "Thank you, Auntie."

Then Zhang Weiguo saw the whitewashed walls, with several landscape oil paintings hanging on the walls, clean and tidy tiles on the floor, soft leather sofas and a color TV in the living room, and some flowers inserted in the lattice cabinet next to it.

It's a different style from their courtyard house in the capital, it's completely Western-style decoration.

Su Hui was watching TV, when she heard something, she turned around and said, "You are here, do you want to go to rest, your room is the second from the left, I have put some clothes in it, you can use it directly, there is a separate bathroom in it , do you want to take a shower first? Or eat?"

Zhang Weiguo put his first glance on his mother. She felt that she hadn't changed from before, and she was still radiant. It seemed that her side was going well.

Then he turned his attention to the TV.

They didn’t buy a TV in the capital, they lived less, and bought a waste. There was one in Wenxueqing, but it was black and white. Seeing this now, Zhang Weiguo didn’t want to move, and wanted to study it.

"I want to eat first, what can I eat?"

Su Hui took a few eggs from the refrigerator and served him a bowl of noodles.

"What about your teacher and classmates?"

"They found a hotel near the train station to stay. I will go there early tomorrow morning, and I will continue. Teacher Tang said that he will visit some time in a few days and want to ask some questions. Mom, do you have time? "

"In the past few days, there should be. You tell me in advance, come over then." Su Hui: "Do you need to ask my partner to see if he is interested? I recently had a good talk with a Hong Kong boss , I can also ask."

Zhang Weiguo knew about Pan Jiaye and that he had a wife and son, but this Hong Kong boss...

"That would be the best. What should I call this boss?"

"Just call me Aunt Wang."

Zhang Weiguo blinked his eyes: "Okay, I told my teacher that he must be very happy and wants to meet more people."

As he spoke, he quickly finished a bowl of egg noodles and sat on the stool in satisfaction.

There is also food on the train, but it is different from the food at home.

Yes, although this is my first time here, home is where my mother is.

"Mom, there are so many electrical appliances here." In addition to color TVs, there are also refrigerators, washing machines...

"They're all from Hong Kong, they're better than domestic ones, so I bought them."

Su Hui: "Did your research go well?"

Zhang Weiguo: "It went very smoothly. Most people were willing to answer our questions. Some of them didn't want to say anything, and we didn't force them. We summarized their answers, and many of them were common."

Su Hui nodded: "It's good that it goes well, just tell me if you need my help, but let me know in advance, I have something to do, most of them are busy."

Zhang Weiguo nodded: "Well, okay, Mom, how is your side?"

"Everything is going well, that's why I'm so busy. I already have an order from abroad."

Hearing this, Zhang Weiguo was also a little proud: "Really, that's great."

The impression is that foreign things are imported into their country, such as chocolate watches, TVs, etc. Now his mother also has things exported to foreign countries, which makes them proud.

"Yeah, I'm very happy. If you have time, I'll take you to the sauce factory to see the general process." Su Hui had a smile on her face. If they can be regarded as a typical example, their popularity will definitely be Can go up a few steps.

Zhang Weiguo hesitated: "Is this okay? Will there be any bad effects?"

"It doesn't matter, those who come to purchase, as long as they have doubts, I will take them around and look at the production line, so that everyone can rest assured that these are nothing."

"Okay." The teacher and the others will definitely agree. They have also entered two factories to look at them before, but the other party is not willing to let them look too carefully, so they took them away after a quick glance.

"What's up with your brother and the others recently?"

"No, everything is fine. When I came, everyone wanted to come."

"It's okay, there are plenty of opportunities, and I can't run away. It's important to finish my studies first."

After gossiping for a while, seeing his tired face, Su Hui told him to take a bath and rest early. He will have to run around with his teacher and the others tomorrow, which also requires energy.

Lying on the bed, covered with a soft quilt, Zhang Weiguo tossed and turned for a while. He was not used to it, but he couldn't say it was uncomfortable.

The mattress is moderately firm, the sheets are soft, and the bedside lamp is not dazzling and can be seen. He tossed and tossed, and got up, and opened the closet.

When he just took out his pajamas, he saw two brand new suits hanging up.

Everything from shirts to suits, trousers and ties.

He hasn't worn it, how about... try
