Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

In the postal department meeting room, Wu Huafeng convened an emergency department meeting.

The heads of all departments and offices of the entire department were present and learned the topic of today's meeting in advance.

Among them, Zhao Yilin, the "sinner" of the entire department, was particularly uneasy.

The fact that the news about Huayao mobile phone could be broadcast meant that the listing of Huayao mobile phone was a foregone conclusion, and the fact that the post office did not participate in it meant that the post office was out.

"Okay, quiet down!" Wu Huafeng walked into the buzzing conference room and told his subordinates how he felt at the moment with his expression, "The meeting has begun. Take notes and start working immediately after you leave."

This sets the tone for the meeting, it is for announcing things, not discussing things.

The meeting room, which was still discussing just now, suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Wu Huafeng. They could see from Wu Huafeng's face that today's meeting would not be easy.

"Before the meeting, I want to criticize Comrade Zhao Yilin." Wu Huafeng sat down and didn't waste any words. He criticized Zhao Yilin by name, which was very rare. "I won't say much about the reasons for the criticism. Everyone knows it. There will be a formal notice later. What I want to emphasize is that when we do our work, we can't sacrifice public interests for personal reasons. This is obviously a good thing that benefits the country and the people, but it was almost ruined because of Comrade Zhao Yilin's personal feelings...

"After research, the ministry decided to give Comrade Zhao Yilin a warning and require him to make a comprehensive and profound self-examination..."

Demerits are a very common punishment.

Many ordinary people in later generations did not understand that if they made a mistake, they would just be given a simple warning and that was it?

Isn’t this price too low?

Is it the same if you break the law?

The answer is...it’s hard to say, it depends...on the person!

But for Zhao Yilin, this was already a very severe punishment. His father was a big boss and he had to give him some face when he met people, including Wu Huafeng.

For Zhao Yilin, the disciplinary warning meant that he could not make any further progress for a period of time.

To be honest, Zhao Yilin was very surprised and couldn't understand it. He had just approved a plan for Zeng Wangcai and hadn't done anything to him yet, but he had already remembered it?

He couldn't help but think of what his good friend Zheng Yilin said, be very careful with Zeng Wangcai, this man is not an ordinary person.

But he hadn't finished yet. Wu Huafeng started to talk about the second thing very skillfully: "In view of the fact that the current situation has changed and changes have begun across the country, our comrades in the department can no longer be rigid in their thinking and look at problems with the old perspective. The second thing I want to say is: Regarding the installation of telephones, the times have changed and our thinking should change accordingly. As a means of communication, telephones should enter the homes of ordinary people... After research and decision, the conditions for installing telephones have been relaxed and any private individual can install a telephone..."

Zeng Wangcai probably didn't expect that his launch of mobile phones would directly drive changes in the postal service.

Strictly speaking, Wu Huafeng is a leader with strong working ability and great vision. After the matter of Huayao mobile phone was confirmed, he immediately judged that this thing would enter the homes of ordinary people in the future, but there is still a process.

During this process, he believed that the telephone should not be useless, so he reported it to his superiors and asked for their approval to allow private individuals who were able and willing to install telephones without any conditions.

After Wu Huafeng made this decision, he was silent for more than ten seconds, allowing his subordinates to digest the news.

Then he continued, "The third thing, and the last thing, please don't forget that we serve the people, not the mountains that ride on the necks of the people. When we ordinary workers face the people, we never smile, as if the people owe us money, with a stern face, let alone service..."

When it comes to serving the people, Wu Huafeng is definitely the best in the system.

But it's easier said than done.

"Minister, I have a question." Zhao Yilin got the chance to speak after Wu Huafeng finished his speech, "Maybe the comrades below can't understand that they work in this way..."

"Even if you can't understand, you have to understand!" Wu Huafeng interrupted Zhao Yilin in a harsh voice, "Do people give you money and still look at your face? Do you really think you are the master? We are public servants, do you understand? If you really don't understand, you can all go to the shops in Nanluoguxiang and see how they do it...

"Zhu Chaoying, when they wanted to install a telephone, your bureau refused. Now I have a task for you. You go to their store in person and bring your bureau's people to install the telephone for them..."

Zhu Chaoying: “???”

Why are you coming towards me?

Municipal Bureau Director Zhu Chaoying was full of grievances.

After the meeting, Zhu Chaoying plucked up the courage to go find Zhao Yilin, but Zhao Yilin was full of anger and had no place to vent.

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Yilin said angrily to Zhu Chaoying.

"Director, I'm totally confused." Zhu Chaoying said with a wry smile, "How should we proceed with this work? I have no idea at all. When have we ever asked for help from anyone?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Zhao Yilin smoked silently.

After smoking three cigarettes in a row, Zhao Yilin calmed down and said, "Don't panic. The document will be released soon. Then you will know how to carry out the work. Now there is no price, how can we install it? But according to the minister, this thing will be released soon."

He was right. In fact, Wu Huafeng had already decided on things before the meeting and was going through the process. Today was just a briefing meeting.

On the next day, an enlarged meeting was held in the postal department, which lasted the whole day. Everything Wu Huafeng said yesterday was formed into written terms.

In addition, relevant departments have formulated fees for installing telephones.

Facts have proved that one person cannot change history too much. Compared with installing a telephone a few years later, the cost of the first step was not much lower. The total cost of the initial installation fee and other miscellaneous fees was more than 4,600 yuan.

What is this concept?

Nowadays, the average monthly salary of an average person is only about 30 yuan, or 400 yuan a year. It would take more than 10 years without eating or drinking to be able to install a telephone.

I'm afraid only insiders know how much the cost and profit are.

To put it bluntly, this thing is not for ordinary people. The price is set based on possible situations that may arise in the future.

To revitalize the economy, there will always be some people who get rich first. So, is it not excessive to take back some of the money in the wallets of these people?

But history has changed after all. Zeng Wangcai broke in with a mobile phone. Will the future pattern still follow history?

Zhu Chaoying couldn't think so much. His mind was full of embarrassment. He brought people from the bureau to find the person he had rejected at the beginning to install the phone, and even asked them for money.

This is ridiculous. In the past, we just sat in the office and waited for the people to give us money...

"Hello, we are from the Municipal Post and Telecommunications Bureau..." A female employee under Zhu Chaoying walked into the grocery store.
