Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Lao Zheng stood up from the table supported by his hands and asked in disbelief: "Little brother, are you kidding me?"

Gao Hongda gave him a firm look and said: "I have conditions. Just stop this cellulose production line. The process is complicated, the cost is high and the profit is low. The new factory will be divided into two, and one half will produce the tea powder I want. The other half will produce the tea powder I want. Half make toiletries.”

Director Zheng nodded repeatedly, and before Gao Hongda could finish speaking, he rushed over and said, "What you said is fine. I only have one condition. Don't let the kids in my factory lose their jobs, let them have food to eat, and what else?" The conditions are all right, even if you produce mushroom eggs, I don’t have any problem with it!”

Gao Hongda laughed: "The key problem is that it's not easy to sell."

Zheng Yuling obviously thought more and raised a question: "How to calculate the shares?"

Factory Director Zheng rolled his eyes at his daughter: "It doesn't matter whether it's shares or not. As long as the new factory can be put into production, these are not important. Just let me retire immediately and make room for young people."

Seeing the old man's excitement, I was really afraid that he would pull over and not answer his words. He took the initiative to say to the more rational Director Zheng: "The matter of this share will be determined after a comprehensive evaluation based on the factory discount, investment amount, etc. I don't care about this thing. My conditions are the same as Director Zheng's. I can recruit another person." A group of disabled people and ex-offenders who are willing to support themselves can work, even if they have made a small contribution to society. I am not as aware as Mr. Zheng, but it does not stop me from sincerely admiring him and being able to support him. It’s also our generation’s honor!”

Director Zheng Yuling stood up quickly. The stool under her butt was ejected and fell down. She held Gao Hongda's hand tightly and was excited: "Thank you, thank you. On behalf of the management committee of the industrial zone, I thank you. Lao Zheng, a nail-biter, is finally here." Unplugged!”

Factory Manager Lao Zheng was so happy that he was so angry that he slapped the table, and the enamel tea cup almost bounced to the roof.

Director Zheng calmed down and said in a calm tone: "The new industrial zone will be invited to bid in the spring, and it will be completed in half a year at most!"

"Tendering?" Gao Hongda's eyes were bright and he immediately asked: "Director Zheng, if the factory area has not yet invited tenders, we have a construction company with complete qualifications. I wonder if there is a chance to fight for this opportunity?"

Director Zheng answered directly without hesitation: "Of course, we all invite public tenders!"

Gao Hongda calmed down his excitement and made a decision: "Okay, let's do this. Director Zheng will continue to be in charge of the new factory, and Guan Peng will be in charge of technology and help with sales. After all, he is a top student of Agricultural University and has a better vision than any of us." Kuan, as for the shares, you two can agree, I only want products and quality!"

Guan Peng raised his thumb and exclaimed: "Is Mr. Gao so domineering that he doesn't even consider my wishes?"

Gao Hongda suddenly asked, "If the deputy director has any ideas, just tell me!"

"Damn it, you're the deputy director of the factory, you're going to have to tie me up to death!" Guan Peng looked helpless and put forward his request: "I must arrange for my girlfriend to be with me, and put it somewhere else." I’m not worried about that!”

"Isn't this a matter of just saying a word from the deputy director? I don't have time to take care of these nonsense. I said, I only want high-quality and low-price products!" Gao Hongda said deliberately pretending to be impatient.

Even though the window outside the window is covered with snow and the wind is biting, the atmosphere in this shabby office is as warm as spring.

Gao Hongda secretly glanced at the two lines on his wrist. The red line representing merit had far exceeded the black line and stretched into the arm in the cuff.

Master Xu is sincere. Punishing evil and promoting good is all about accumulating merit. There is no conflict between making money and accumulating merit. If more people can have enough to eat because of him, it will be a great merit!

When it got dark, we finalized some specific details, rejected the father and daughter's attempts to stay, and decided to leave in the snow. The driver had already installed anti-skid chains on the tires. Without this thing, it would be difficult to move in the ice and snow!

The father and daughter sent the person to the door. Gao Hongda suddenly wanted to make fun of him and said to Director Zheng: "Old Zheng's names for his children are quite interesting. It seems that he has a special liking for Hong Kong movies!"

When this topic was brought up, Director Zheng was a little unhappy: "The old man is good at everything, but the name is too random. I also have a brother, do you know his name? Zheng Shaoqiu! There are two big stars in this family."

"Zheng Shaoqiu?" Gao Hongda was suddenly startled. This name looks so familiar. Is it the secretary of the development zone in the eastern suburbs? He didn't continue to ask, smiled, got into the car and waved goodbye to everyone.

Watching the car's taillights slowly disappear into the snow, Zheng Yuling gently patted the snowflakes off her father's shoulders, helped him walk back to the office, and filled him with hot water.

Lao Zheng leaned back in his chair as if he was relieved, sighed softly and said: "Finally, I have recovered from a serious illness. Isn't it a bit unethical for us to do this!?"

Zheng Yuling smiled awkwardly and said, "There's nothing we can do. They won't suffer anyway. From now on, we just need to cooperate with them and don't cheat them."

Lao Zheng shook his head and said: "I have been watching movies for a lifetime, and in the end I became an actor!"

When my daughter tried to comfort her: "This is not a sinister thing, it's just a way to attract investment! We can't just watch these workers go out to beg for food, right?"

Lao Zheng closed his eyes silently.

Guan Peng wanted to go back to pack his luggage and other things. He would stay in the factory for a long time and trial-produce samples with the only old technician in the factory. Gao Hongda left him enough money and instructed him to try to improve the food of his employees in the future. Wages also need to be increased. The original salary of five to six hundred yuan a month is too shabby. As for the operating costs, it is not a consideration at the moment.

Before parting, he said meaningfully: "Next time if you have something to say, just say it. Acting is very hard!"

Guan Peng's face turned red to the base of his neck, and he turned around and got out of the car in embarrassment.

The stop-and-go pace along the way was very slow, which gave Gao Hongda an opportunity to visit the snowy scenery of Beijing again. The falling snowflakes, illuminated by various lights, were like countless flying insects dancing in the moonlight in summer. Even in such a bad weather, the flow of people on the road did not seem to decrease at all. They were all walking in a hurry, without looking away, as if they were walking zombies. They seemed to regard themselves as a sophisticated machine and had no time to care about anything else. As for appreciation, The beauty in life is the privilege of those who have no pressure in life.

In this big city with a population of tens of millions, countless young people with dreams have drifted here, that is, the mighty Beipiao clan. He has experienced the hardships. When he first arrived here, he was helpless and lived in a basement without seeing the sun all day long. , living a fast-paced life every day is more about survival than life. The only thing that can support one's soul is the illusory so-called dream. How many people can take root in this bustling city amid the waves? The fact is that the vast majority of young people are forced to give up their dreams and return to their hometowns, vowing never to come back for the rest of their lives.
