Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

On the way home, Li Weidong bought two yuan of braised pork head, which weighed more than a pound.

Then Li Weidong sold another bottle of Qinghe special song, and planned to have a drink with Mr. Li Dengke when he got home.

Li Weidong is only seventeen years old. On weekdays, Mr. Li would not let Li Dengke drink alcohol, but today Li Weidong was admitted to the dispatcher, so he should celebrate.

When Li Weidong returned home, Li Weimin, the scumbag, had already returned from school. He seemed to be doing his homework at the desk, but he was actually wandering too far.

Li Dengke also did not listen to the radio, but held a newspaper and read it with relish.

Mother Zhou Yunxiu cooks on the balcony.

Old-fashioned residential buildings are not designed with air ducts, and naturally there is no special kitchen. If you cook in the room, you will inevitably get the smell of oily smoke, so the balcony becomes a good place for cooking.

Back in 1985, the balcony would not be sealed with glass. When cooking on the balcony, the smell of cooking oil would quickly dissipate with the wind. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I can always smell the fragrance of Wanjia kitchen from the balcony.

As soon as Li Weidong entered the door, he shouted at Mr. Li, "Dad, I have been admitted to the dispatcher!"

"Admitted to the dispatcher? Good thing!" Li Dengke put down the newspaper and continued: "It seems that today is still a double happiness!"

"Double happiness is coming?" Li Weidong subconsciously looked at the dude who was doing his homework, and then asked, "Have Weimin passed the exam?"

Li Weimin was still sitting there doing his homework, his face expressionless. Seeing this scene, Li Weidong knew that he had guessed wrong.

Li Dengke explained: "It's your brother-in-law Guangzhi, who has been transferred to the Xijiao Sub-district Office."

"Brother-in-law isn't a teacher anymore? Didn't he just get promoted to grade director!" Li Weidong asked pretending to be surprised.

"The age director is only a position in the school, and cannot be regarded as a formal leadership position. Going to the sub-district office is different. It is a formal leadership position, and it can be regarded as an official career." Li Dengke explained.

"What level is that brother-in-law now?" Li Weidong asked.

"It should be the deputy department! He just arrived at the Xijiao Sub-district Office, and he is still the assistant to the director. It is estimated that after a year or two, he will be promoted to the deputy director of the sub-district office." Li Dengke said with a smile.

Li Dengke kept a low profile all his life,

Unrelated to officialdom. Now that he has a son-in-law who has entered an official career, Li Dengke is still very happy even though he is the most basic sesame and mung bean petty official.

Li Weidong's career journey for his second brother-in-law, Yao Guangzhi, is very clear.

Yao Guangzhi was twelve years older than Li Weidong, and he was only at the sub-department level when he was nearly thirty, so he was no longer young and promising.

Moreover, in a place like the street office, there is not much chance of promotion. Yao Guangzhi was eventually promoted to the director of the sub-district office, and it was over.

Most of the most basic civil servants are like this. It's like the kind of people who have been promoted all the way, but only very few among the civil servants.

...

Early the next morning, Li Weidong rode the twenty-eighth bar to the dispatch department to report, and along the way, he inevitably received several waves of attention.

The news that Li Weidong was admitted to the dispatcher has spread in the transportation company, which gave Li Weidong another halo. At the age of seventeen, he worked as a worker, lived in a building, and was the most promising dispatcher in the company. It took Li Weidong less than a year to complete the half-life dream of many transportation company employees.

Such a person, walking in a transportation company, is of course attracting attention. Wherever Li Weidong has passed, all kinds of envious eyes are cast, and there are also some voices of discussion.

"That is Li Weidong. I heard that he was admitted to the dispatcher of the freight department."

"This time, the questions for the dispatcher in the freight department are very difficult. There are only a handful of people who pass the test. Li Weidong can get a perfect score in the test, which is really amazing!"

"It turns out that Li Weidong is so good at studying. If he had known earlier, he should have been admitted to a secondary school."

"They are regular employees, do they need to be admitted to secondary schools?"

"That's right, it should be to go to high school, go to a university, and college students are cadres when they take part in work."

"Isn't Li Weidong also working as a substitute? According to this situation, maybe he can get a formal cadre establishment before the age of 20. This is even better than a college student!"

In 1985, it was more difficult to get into a secondary school than for a high school, because after graduating from a secondary school, the state was assigned to work. Under the circumstances of urban youth employment difficulties at that time, getting into a secondary school was the ultimate dream of many junior high school students. .

Especially for rural students, being admitted to a technical secondary school means that they can enter the enterprise in the future, eat "national treasury grain", and completely get rid of the identity of farmers.

Among the junior high school graduates at that time, many students who studied well chose secondary school or middle school. Those who studied in general went to high school, and those who studied poorly started looking for jobs directly.

Those who are admitted to high school must want to go to college. College students in the 1980s were still quite valuable. After graduating from college, the state also assigned jobs, and college students entered enterprises as cadres.

In addition, normal students are also very popular. In the 1980s, public teachers were also managed with reference to the establishment of cadres, and normal students not only have comprehensive tuition fees, but also receive additional living allowances every month, which is equivalent to the full tuition and living expenses. Paid by the state. Many students with excellent grades but from poor families eventually chose to study in Teachers College.

In the eyes of ordinary people, being able to be admitted to a technical secondary school and then being assigned to work in a state-owned enterprise is a great way out.

However, compared with Li Weidong, college graduates look bleak. College graduation is nothing more than a cadre establishment. Seventeen-year-old Li Weidong is now working on behalf of workers.

Going to university is nothing more than a good job with a promising future and high salary, and Li Wei also has these. What's more, it takes four years to go to university, and Li Weidong has a salary of 80 yuan a month.

In an era of generally poorer people, being able to get paid a few years earlier and improve family life might be more affordable than going to college.

...

Li Weidong came to the dispatching department and asked the dispatcher Luo Bing to report. Luo Bing took Li Weidong and familiarized himself with the situation in the freight department.

Li Weidong is actually no stranger to the freight department. In his last life, he also worked as a dispatcher. He is very familiar with the various businesses of the freight department. Coming to the freight department is just a revisit to the old place.

However, seeing how enthusiastic Luo Bing was, Li Weidong couldn't refuse, so he could only pretend to be unfamiliar and listen to Luo Bing's introduction.

Zhao Guodong, Director of Freight Forwarding, was very interested in Li Weidong, so Luo Bing also showed enough attention to Li Weidong.

Last year, when the freight department was most in short supply of tires, the 250 tires that Li Weidong obtained solved the urgent need of the freight department. Since then, Li Weidong has been registered in the freight department.

This year's 15 heavy-duty trucks have increased the capacity of the freight department by a quarter. It can be said that what Li Weidong has done for the past six months is to help the freight department. Zhao Guodong has a natural affinity for Li Weidong.

In the dispatcher exam, Li Weidong showed a very high level, especially the last question. Luo Bing himself did not answer correctly, but Li Weidong answered it correctly. This alone made Luo Bing look at Li Weidong with admiration.

After returning to the dispatch room, Luo Bing arranged a seat for Li Weidong and applied for office supplies for him. Then he asked, "Xiao Li, have you been to Tianjin?"

"I haven't been there." Li Weidong shook his head.

Jinmen is also a big city in China. Li Weidong has been there in his previous life, but in this life, Li Weidong has never been to Jinmen, not even Handong Province.

"Would you like to go? If you want to go, then come to Tianjin with me the day after tomorrow, and then I will invite you to eat the most authentic pancakes and fruits, as well as Goubuli buns, and then show you the scenery." Luo Soldier said with a smile.

"Captain Luo, are you going on a business trip to Jinmen?" Li Weidong asked.

Luo Bing nodded: "Left the day after tomorrow, live in Tianjin for a day, and then come back. By then, I should be able to squeeze in an afternoon to stroll around Tianjin."

In the 1980s, the cost of traveling abroad was relatively high. At that time, business trips were equivalent to public-funded travel, especially to big cities or cities with scenic spots, and everyone rushed to go.

If you go to Beijing or Shanghai, relatives and colleagues will ask you to bring some things back, which is similar to purchasing abroad.

The supply of materials in big cities has always been more abundant than that in small cities, especially in times of scarcity. In big cities like Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai, state-run department stores were used in the 1950s, and there were more than one, while in small cities, you had to go to supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things.

Luo Bing proposed to take Li Weidong to Jinmen, which is quite a chance for Li Weidong to travel, and it can be regarded as a welfare.

For Li Weidong, Jinmen in 1985 has nothing to do, but the time-honored Goubuli buns are still very attractive.

Goubuli steamed buns in later generations are scumbags. They taste unpalatable and expensive. People who go there feel that they have paid an IQ tax.

However, Goubuli at the state-owned bun shop in the 1980s is a real thin-skinned stuffing with 18 pleats, and the taste is commendable. Although the price is still a bit expensive compared to other foods, it is definitely worth the money.

Li Weidong is not really greedy, but he lives a new life, and of course he wants to experience something he has never experienced in his previous life.

"The authentic Jinmen Goubuli can no longer be eaten in future generations. It is better to take this opportunity to go to Jinmen and taste the Goubuli of this era."

Thinking of this, Li Weidong nodded and replied, "Captain Luo, I'll go to Jinmen with you."

"Well, tomorrow morning, come directly to the place, and then go to the train station together." Luo Bing said.

"Director Luo, how many people are there this time?" Li Weidong asked.

"Counting you, it should be thirty-two people!" Luo Bing replied.

"Going to so many people?" Li Weidong thought for a while, and then asked, "Are you going to pick up the car?"

"How do you know you are going to pick up the car?" Luo Bing asked.

"What our freight department can send is the driver. I go to 30 drivers at a time, and they only stay for three days. I can't think of any other possibility other than picking up the car." Li Weidong then asked: "Our company bought a new car again. Is it?"

"It's not our company. Jinmen Port imported a batch of cars. Qinghe Foreign Trade Bureau got a quota of 30 cars and borrowed our driver to drive the cars back. Apart from our transportation company, other units also Thirty drivers could not be found. But our drivers are not in vain. Among the thirty vehicles, two of our company will be allocated." Luo Bing explained.

"Imported car? Do you know what kind of car it is?" Li Weidong asked with great interest.

"It's half a **!" Luo Bing's answer didn't want to pick up the car, it was more like driving.
