He Yuzhu and the others didn't know how much the meal cost, but according to He Yuzhu's estimate, it was at least forty or fifty yuan.

This is more than one month's salary for an ordinary celebrity.

The wage income in the early 1980s was actually not much different from that in the 1970s, with ordinary workers earning only around 40 yuan.

To buy things, you still need various tickets, such as food tickets, meat tickets, etc.

However, at the Tianwaitian Restaurant, you don’t need any receipts to eat, just cash.

Because these things were all produced in He Yuzhu's alien space, they naturally would not be irrigated with any spiritual spring water.

Otherwise, if everyone who comes to eat here lives to be a hundred years old, this will definitely attract the attention of relevant departments.

So later on, many people who had money but not many bills were willing to come to He Yuzhu's restaurant for dinner.

Although the price is a little bit higher than other restaurants, the food here is not only delicious.

The most important thing is, here... you don’t need a ticket.

He Yuzhu could imagine how ugly Xu Damao's face was when he paid.

He Yuzhu wanted to tell Xu Damao that showing off comes at a price, and... not everyone can show off.

Just as He Yuzhu expected, when Xu Damao paid the bill and found out that He Yuzhu and his friends had spent nearly thirty yuan, he almost burst into anger.

This again insulted He Yuzhu's ancestors for eighteen generations.

However, he would not scold He Yuzhu for giving birth to a son without an anus, because he, Xu Damao, still liked He Xiao and He Ye very much and treated them like his own children.

Who would curse their children to have no butthole?

Especially just now, the two children were brought by He Yuzhu to meet their table and express their gratitude.

In fact, He Yuzhu has already decided that after Xu Damao and his wife die, he will put paper under their graves and kowtow to them every time he visits their graves.

In order to repay Xu Damao for collecting his body in his previous life.

Early the next morning, Lou Xiao'e brought Harry to the courtyard.

When the three children meet, they don’t know where to go to play.

Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu went to the steel rolling mill.

Ran Qiuye went to He Yuzhu's other three restaurants to supervise the progress of the renovation.

It was only when Ran Qiuye went to bed last night that she found out that her man had opened four restaurants.

There is also a fast food restaurant.

Ran Qiuye is no stranger to foreign fast food.

As early as the 1970s, Western fast food was already popular in Hong Kong, and business was booming.

She never understood how He Yuzhu, who had never left the city, knew all this.

This was only the early 1980s, not long after the reform and opening up, and those so-called foreign things were still like a scourge here.

When he got home, Xu Damao sat there sulking with his eyes not looking like eyes and his nose not looking like a nose.

"Da Mao, what's wrong with you? Didn't you make any money this time?"

Qin Jingru saw Xu Damao sulking at home when she got off work, so she kindly asked him about it.

Xu Damao glanced at Qin Jingru, wiped his mouth with his chest heaving.

"That damn idiot Zhu spent thirty dollars of my dinner tonight. I'm so pissed off."

"Damn it, I'll just treat this as poverty alleviation. I curse you to never be able to eat four dishes in your life."

After hearing about the feud with He Yuzhu again, Qin Jingru was speechless.

Both of them are in their forties, why are they still making trouble like children?

"Alright, alright, every time you're with Zhuzi, you've taken advantage of him, so why don't you just stay away from him? By the way, what did they eat? Thirty dollars for a meal?"

Qin Jingru didn't feel bad about the thirty yuan. Xu Damao was very good at making money. Sometimes he could earn one or two hundred yuan a month at most. A mere thirty yuan might be a month's income for other families.

For Xu Damao, although it was painful, he was definitely not seriously injured.

"There, it could be there, the most expensive and luxurious restaurant in Sijiu City, Tianwaitian."

When Xu Damao talks about Tianwaitian, he is still a little proud. After all, the level of the place is really high and the food tastes great.

"Tianwaitian? The newly opened Tianwaitian restaurant over at the East Gate?"

Qin Jingru exclaimed, and Xu Damao nodded, looking at Qin Jingru curiously, wondering why she reacted so strongly.

"Da Mao, don't you know that the boss of the Tianwaitian Restaurant is Zhuzi?"

"What!! Which restaurant is Sha Zhu the owner of?"

As soon as Qin Jingru finished speaking, she saw Xu Damao jump up.

Xu Damao never expected that the owner of such a luxurious and clean restaurant was actually Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao slammed the table and yelled at the outside.

"Why, why can she be the boss? I have to bow and scrape every day. I want to make money standing still, too."

"It's really abominable. I won't accept it and I won't resign myself to it!"

Xu Damao's roar echoed throughout the backyard. In response to Xu Damao's anger, He Yuzhu just covered his mouth and laughed.

As long as Xu Damao is unhappy, that is my own happiness.

Ran Qiuye said a little worriedly.

"Zhu Zi, Xu Damao won't come here to cause trouble, right? Hearing him like this, I feel really angry."

He Yuzhu smiled and said.

"It's okay. Even if he had eight leopards' courage, he wouldn't dare to come over. Let's go watch TV. Lou Xiao'e said she got me a color TV in Hong Kong..."

He Yuzhu put his arm around Ran Qiuye's waist and went back to watch TV.

Even after eighty years, this television is still in great demand.

In the entire courtyard, so far, only the He family has a black and white TV.

That night, Xu Damao couldn't sleep again. He was always quarreling like this. He could only follow Sha Zhu's ass and be stepped on by him all his life.

No, you have to do big business of your own.

Now that the country is in the process of reform and opening up, high-rise buildings are being built everywhere, and steel bars, cement and other things are definitely hot-selling products.

If you have a stable source of goods, you will make a lot of money.

I have to say that although Xu Damao is a bit mean, his brains and vision are definitely not bad, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be so successful no matter what he does.

"But who should I ask to get these things?"

Cement factories and steel bar factories are now all state-owned enterprises. Without approval from relevant units, no one can get these things, unless you have connections.

Without supply, what business can you run?

Thinking of this, Xu Damao became worried again and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Square.

It was packed with workers, seemingly endless.

There really are tens of thousands of people, endless and boundless, it is quite spectacular.

At the front end of the square, near the office building, a temporary platform was built.

There was a rectangular table on the platform, with a microphone tied with red cloth in front of it.

Lou Xiao'e, He Yuzhu, Director Yang...it should be Branch Secretary Yang.

Standing behind them was a row of middle and senior leaders from the office.

"Isn't that Master He from the Third Canteen? Who is that beautiful woman? Why are they standing in front of Director Yang?"

"Who knows? Maybe that woman is the new leader. But who cares who she is? As long as she can get paid, that's fine."

"What are you talking about? There is no work now. I heard that they can hardly pay their salaries."

The workers below were talking about it a lot, and some of them sneaked back to the workshop lounge to lie down and rest.

Anyway, it said that I had to be at the factory before 10 o'clock, but it didn't say where I had to stay.

After checking the time, Lou Xiao'e whispered something to Director Yang.

Director Yang nodded, took the microphone wrapped in red cloth to his side, and blew into it.

"Hello... Hello... Hello, good morning, fellow workers. I have a few things to announce today. Please listen carefully."

Director Yang has a very loud voice, and there are loudspeakers hung everywhere in the factory, so his voice can be heard everywhere in the steel rolling mill.

"First of all, let me tell you the situation that our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is facing now. I believe everyone knows it. I have some bad news for you."

Having said that, Director Yang paused and looked at the densely packed heads below.

What came into view were faces with different expressions, some full of anticipation, some already expecting it.

"The Red Star Steel Mill... is about to go bankrupt! Maybe we will all... go our separate ways in the future."

Director Yang's words immediately made the workers' faces change drastically.

"Bankruptcy and closure, this is the rhythm of unemployment!"

"I have worked here for more than ten years. Am I going to be unemployed now?"

"I have a wife and children to support. I can't lose my job. I can't be without income."

"I...I've only been working for a year, and my company is going to close down. I can't accept this!"

The workers below were clamoring and saying all kinds of things, but they were all unwilling to accept the result.

I finally got a stable job, but it's about to fall apart.

After arguing for a while, Director Yang continued.

"But we are not going to give you a chance to survive. You all go back to your respective workshops, and the workshop directors of each workshop will give you relevant notices."

"Okay, let's all go back to the workshop first. Come back here in an hour after everyone has made a decision."

The workers started arguing again and went back to their workshops.

Qin Huairu and Bang Geng, with sad faces, followed the crowd and walked towards the workshop.

"Mom, are we going to be out of work soon? I just started working and haven't been promoted to a full-time employee yet!"

Banggeng said to his mother on the road with a tearful face.

Qin Huairu shook his head.

"Bang Geng, mom doesn't know either, but I know this must be related to Sha Zhu. Didn't you see that Director Yang has to look at his face?"

Qin Huairu had already noticed that when Director Yang was speaking, he looked at He Yuzhu and the other beautiful woman from time to time.

Although she didn't know the woman herself, she had seen her many times in the courtyard, and she was with a little boy.

Every time he went to find He Yuzhu, he seemed to have a very good relationship with Ran Qiuye.

But soon, they will know the identity of this woman.

In the lounge of each workshop, the workshop director took out a stack of notices and handed them to the people in the lounge, asking them to read the contents first and ask questions if they did not understand.

This is a severance pay contract.

But the employees of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, whether they are regular workers, apprentices, or temporary workers.

You can choose to continue working in the steel mill or resign now.

However, if you resign, compensation will be given according to your level of work and length of service.

The standard of compensation is based on the income of the worker's grade and the length of service.

For example, if you are an eighth-level worker with a basic salary of 99 yuan per month and have worked for 20 years, then you would use 1980x and the result would be yuan.

Then this level 8 worker can receive a one-time compensation of 1,980 yuan.

Those who have worked for more than 20 years, regardless of their level of work, can receive a pension of 40% of their normal salary until their death.

Those who have less than 20 years of service can purchase years of service.

If you only have eighteen years of work experience, you can purchase two years, also based on the amount of your work grade salary.

The purchase price is three times the worker's salary.

Let’s take the eighth-level worker as an example.

99 yuan x 3 times x 2, that’s 594 yuan.

That is to say, if you pay an additional 564 yuan, you can continue to receive your pension after retirement until your death.

After the workshop director's explanation, all workers understood the contents of the notice.

Next, it's up to them to make a choice.

Should I stay in the steel mill or just resign and go home with immediate money.

For a moment, everyone started talking and discussing with each other how to choose.

Humans are social animals, and most of the time they just follow the crowd and do what the majority does.
