Rebirth 1991: My Financial Era

Sun Renwu was stunned by Sun Chen's shock. He took the proposal written by Sun Chen and left in a hurry without even eating dinner.

Sun Chen had an awkward dinner with Sun Jingzhang and Lu Honglin.

Lu Honglin roughly guessed Sun Chen's role in Sun Renwu's promotion, and his understanding of him greatly changed.

"Chenzi, don't blame aunt for having a bad attitude towards you. I care too much about your brother's college entrance examination." Lu Honglin explained.

"It's okay, aunt, it would be the same for me." Sun Chen is someone who has been through this before and doesn't care about historical grudges at all.

"It's fine, just eat some food and let your brother take you out to play for a few days tomorrow."

"It's easy to say, I need to go back to my hometown for business tomorrow, and I will come back again." Sun Chen put on a bright smile.

The next day, Sun Chen took the train back to Xiangcheng.

Four hours later, Sun Chen arrived at Xiangcheng Railway Station and created the Gate of Hell alone. Several people with sly eyebrows were directly knocked over by Sun Chen. Now Sun Chen's 80 points of physical strength is nothing.

After exiting the station, transfer to the bus, then transfer to the town shuttle bus, and wander around for 2 hours before returning to the town.

Sun Chen didn't intend to alarm the third uncle in the town, so he decided to walk back by himself to feel the atmosphere of this era for himself.

In 91, there was no village-to-village access project. County-level roads were paved with asphalt, and two trucks could meet each other; village roads were paved with sand, and two human-powered carts could meet each other (village was still a new term, in the past Call the brigade); the road connecting the squad is a dirt road, and only one cart can pass. When it rains, I'm covered in mud; when it's sunny, my legs are gray.

These roads appear in Sun Chen's dreams from time to time.

However, Sun Chen's biggest ambition when he was a child was to get out of the countryside and stay away from these mud roads.

The summer rain had just passed, and the dirt road was covered with lush weeds, but there was no dust, making it feel like a wild place.

The seedlings in the rice fields on both sides of the road are growing lushly green, forming a sea of ​​green. Occasionally there are a few fish ponds dotted among them, like mirrors.

There are dark pine forests on the mountains, and yellow and green cotton fields and corn fields below the mountains.

Sun Chen was a little intoxicated, this was the hometown he missed day and night. Life is like a besieged city. I always want to get out, but in the end I find that what I have been pursuing turns out to be what I resented when I was a child.

Fear of being close to home. Sun Chen smelled the scent of his hometown, and a different kind of emotion came to his heart.

Back home, Li Xinghua was making dumplings. Before coming back, Sun Chen called the village department, and the news probably arrived.

"Mom! I'm back!" Sun Chen didn't know how many times he had dreamed of this moment in his dreams, and said hello while holding back tears.

"Xiao Chen is back! Go and water the cows, then wash your hands and eat. The dumplings will be ready in a while."

Li Xinghua directed Sun Chen to work smoothly, without hesitation at all, as is the case with rural children. Although Sun Chen had thin arms and legs in his previous life, he was a main force in the labor force when he was a child.

After the cow drinks water, he lies in the cowshed and chews his cud. Cows have four stomachs. When they rest, they turn out the fodder and process it carefully. They know how to maintain their health. This old cow is about to catch up with Sun Chen in age and is now the family's main labor force. This is also the last cow raised by the family. After Lao Niu died, Sun Renyu buried him in the vegetable garden.

"Mom, let's eat together when my dad comes back. I'm not hungry yet." Sun Chen said.

"Okay, we'll get off work later." After saying that, Li Xinghua got busy again. He was never finished with the work inside and outside.

Sun Chen walked around the house and outside, but found nothing he could do, so he took Wangcai to inspect his territory, from the path into the village to the vegetable garden, pear orchard, bamboo forest, and miscellaneous woods, revisiting his old place.

I went into the vegetable garden and picked a ripe tomato and a cucumber. I climbed up the pear tree and picked a half-ripe pear.

The fresh taste, the taste in dreams, so cool!

Sun Renwu is back and smoking. The Hongbaohua brand was produced by the county cigarette factory. Later, the factory was merged by the Provincial China Tobacco and only produced Yellow Crane Tower. Hongbaohua was discontinued.

When Sun Chen was a child, he often used cigarette boxes to fold cards. This brand is imprinted in his memory.

"Dad, I'm back." Sun Chen said.

"Okay, let's eat." Rural people are emotionally reserved, especially men.

Have a meal! The steaming rice noodles whetted Sun Chen's appetite, and he was sweating all over as he ate three large bowls in a row. The family of three doesn't pay much attention to their meals, just dumplings and cold dishes.

My sister, Sun Ping, is in her senior year of high school and is taking extra classes at school.

After dinner, the family enjoyed the cool air in the yard. Stars twinkle in the sky, frogs sing in the fields, cicadas chirp in the woods, fireflies dance in the yard, the breeze blows and the flowers smell.

"Dad, it was my uncle who asked me to come back this time." Sun Chen said.

"Is your aunt treating you badly?" Sun Renyu asked.

"No, uncle asked you to go to the city and contract the branch's tertiary industry company. He has already made arrangements." Sun Chen slowly organized his words.

"What exactly do you do?" Sun Renyu asked. In addition to farming, he also ran a small cotton ginning workshop.

"It seems to be doing steel wholesale. My uncle said that he can help contact Hansteel and provide the company with steel quotations."

"What does your grandfather mean?"

"My grandfather has no objection." Sun Chen didn't ask at all, because now Sun Jingzhang's main job is drinking tea and reading newspapers, and doesn't care about anything else.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. Your grandfather asked me to guard the house back then. My eldest brother left to serve as a soldier. Your grandfather was eating commercial food on the street. There was a mother and a third child at home, so I had to guard the house. I have been guarding it for twenty years. It has been many years. When your grandfather retired, he asked the third child to take over. The third child is so good at studying, he should go to college. "

Sun Renyu was a little emotional.

Sun Chen didn't want to be persuaded. He felt sleepy and went to sleep.

Sleeping on his own bed, Sun Chen relaxed physically and mentally and fell asleep next to the pillow.

The next day, Li Xinghua went to the market, and Sun Chen was doing exercises, Baduanjin, and Xingyiquan.

Sun Renyu cleans the manure from the cowshed at home and composts it outside. When I went back to the house to drink water, I saw Sun Chen practicing boxing and asked, "Can I make money wholesale steel?"

In fact, Sun Renyu was not sure, so he asked someone to support him.

I didn't expect Sun Chen to talk so eloquently.

"Since the reform and development, rural areas have been contracted to each household, urban factories are allowed to contract, township and village enterprises have emerged, and our family has also set up a cotton ginning factory. Farmers have two more options, one is to study and the other is to do business."

Sun Chen paused for a moment, wanting to see Sun Renyu's reaction.

"Continue." Sun Renyu was a little confused and a little excited. Is his son enlightened?

"After the reform and opening up, consumption has been very strong, and basically what is produced can be sold. Economists explain that there have been material shortages, insufficient investment in civilian production, and a huge backlog of consumption momentum. This is why township and village enterprises can rise. market factors.”

Sun Renyu could understand that his family had already bought a color TV. Although it was smaller, it was something he didn't dare to think of in the past.

"The take-off of any economy must go through a development process from light industry to heavy industry. If the 80s were the first stage of the development of light industry, the 90s will transition to the era of heavy industry."

Seeing that his father didn't understand, Sun Chen said, "The representative of light industry is the textile industry, and the representative of competitiveness is the ability to earn foreign exchange through exports. Now is the time when our textile industry has the strongest export competitiveness, so everyone likes to grow cotton."

"In five to ten years, our income level will increase, the competitiveness of the textile industry will decline, and textile exports will be replaced by mechanical and electrical exports. By then, there will be fewer cotton growers, so our ginnery will open Can’t go down anymore.”

"So that's it, what happens next?"

"Although we still have a few good years, the sooner we transform, the better. Our opportunity is to seize the opportunity of heavy industry development."

"Be specific."

"In the early days of the development of heavy industry, the first raw material to increase in price was steel. The strong demand for steel will last for 20 years." Sun Chen spoke passionately, feeling satisfied with this speech.

"Where's the opportunity?" Sun Renyu obviously didn't get it. You can't just talk about the situation and not the strategy, right? Bad review!

"Our opportunity is to stock up on steel and wait for the price to rise!"

Sun Chenxin said, I will tell you, is the rising price of village supplies the way for Huaxi Village to make a fortune?
