That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Decades later, some children who are struggling in the dark night and unable to see the dawn will say something with mixed reviews, but it is very heartbreaking.

[This society is using houses to screen out parents who don’t work hard, using jobs to screen out families without resources, and using academic qualifications to screen out me who didn’t work hard. 】

In the face of rising housing prices, ordinary children, without exception, place their hopes for a house on their parents.

Only those smart, tenacious, and capable children wiped away their tears, gritted their teeth, and carried their own houses.

Never say that those ordinary children are heartless and white-eyed. They really have nothing to do, nothing to do!

The belt has been tightened, Bingkuoluo has quit, and he doesn’t even dare to smoke anymore, but looking at the slow growth rate in his bank account, he just wants to shout, “Wo Cao Cao”.

Therefore, many boys lie down and become "Three Nos".

But the old couple definitely don’t want to! I went around asking people to help my child solve the problem. Finally, I finally invited a matchmaker to come to the family. When they came up, they asked, "Do you have a house?"

"What? No house? Old and poor? How did you two become parents?"

The matchmaker will not blame the children, but the parents.

What kind of evil did your parents do?

But if you really want your children not to get married, have children, or buy a house, then you won’t feel at ease!

To put it bluntly, when you get old and enter a nursing home, you are still divided into different grades!

Those who have children and go to the nursing home every now and then to see them are the first class.

Those who visit once in a while but often call the nursing home to inquire about their parents are second-rate.

Childless. Think about it yourself!

Therefore, the issue of housing has always been closely tied to marriage. Even in the 1980s, when units allocated houses, they had to take care of some young couples who did not have houses.

Well, although these young couples are actually in their thirties.

After Hong Kong capital manager Guo Tianyong announced on the rostrum that he would allocate rooms to newlyweds, the audience burst into applause. Then the style suddenly changed. A group of older couples in their thirties and forties raised their arms in unison.

Guo Tianyong has been in the mainland for more than a year. He can already vaguely judge the workers' desire to speak based on the length of their arms and the height of their shoulders.

They're in a hurry, they're in a hurry.

But no matter how anxious they were, they just raised their hands, hoping that Guo Tianyong would see them, instead of competing for speeches like those who bought early tickets to jump in line.

Wang Qinshan was right about one thing. These people were really good workers. They really satisfied Guo Tianyong in terms of respect and obedience.

Guo Tianyong held the microphone and pondered for two seconds, and then said to the others on the podium: "Please wait a moment, I will delay five minutes to ask the workers for their opinions."

The person in seat C smiled and said: "You can ask, if five minutes is not enough, just ten minutes. We are willing to wait."

Then Guo Tianyong reached out and tapped the female worker at the front.

After the female worker stood up, she was still a little nervous and asked in a timid tone: "Manager Guo, my husband and I are both employees of the factory. We have been married for ten years, but we have never had a house.

Now I live in a room and a half with my parents-in-law, my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law, who is already 16. We are not newlyweds, but we need to share a room more than newlyweds because we have children.”

There were no high housing prices in the 1980s, but the per capita housing area was much lower than a few decades later. It was normal for a family of five or six people to squeeze into a house of one to twenty square meters.

Pulling a curtain separates the couple from their children or parents. How can you tell outsiders about the inconvenience?

Guo Tianyong frowned slightly after hearing what the female worker said.

He turned to ask the factory office director on the podium: "Director Cao, how many people in our factory have a situation like hers?"

Director Cao was stunned for several seconds, and then he said calmly: "The specific number of people. Probably a few hundred people! This situation is normal."

"Probably?"

After listening to Director Cao's words, Guo Tianyong was very dissatisfied. Director Cao was very capable. Every time someone from above came to inspect or visit, he received them very well. He was even so detailed that he could clearly remember someone who didn't eat celery and someone who didn't eat celery. Small things like someone not eating coriander or someone not liking fish.

However, he only knew how many people in the factory had housing difficulties, "about a few hundred people."

Guo Tianyong nodded, asked the first female worker to sit down, and then nodded to the second worker.

It's the same problem, but it seems to be more serious than the first female employee.

After Guo Tianyong asked several people in succession, he did not continue asking, but said apologetically: "I'm really sorry. I just checked in advance how many unmarried workers there are in our factory, and I don't know enough about the housing difficulties. go deep,

How about this! After today's meeting, you will select thirty people who are familiar with the family situation of the factory employees. We will visit and investigate together, and then we will have a meeting to study solutions. "

"."

Hundreds of arms raised high on the playground slowly fell down.

Guo Tianyong was a little strange. He seemed to feel that the eyes of these anxious workers suddenly lost their urgency and turned into full of disappointment.

Guo Tianyong on the stage didn't understand why, but Li Ye in the audience knew.

Because the surrounding workers and several technical men all shook their heads in disappointment.

Wu Yan, a real person, said: "It's over. This study will have nothing to do with these workers, hey."

"."

Li Ye was surprised for a moment and understood what Wu Yan meant.

This house allocation is a big question. As long as we accurately study various house allocation standards and conditions, we can almost allocate houses to certain groups of people accurately.

Li Ye turned his head and asked Wu Yan seriously: "You have been with Hong Kong investors for a long time. Do you think Guo Tianyong is that kind of person?"

Several workers around also turned their heads and looked at Wu Yan and Li Ye, obviously very concerned about this issue.

Wu Yan shook his head slowly and said: "Guo Tianyong is definitely not that kind of person, but he can't manage such a large factory by himself. When a new official takes office, he must win over the management staff!"

Wu Yan is already twenty-seven or eighty years old. After following his teacher in the research institute for several years, he also realized that it is not easy to be a leader. If you want to manage a group like an arm, you must at least have an "arm", right?

"Eh~"

"I thought this Manager Guo was different! I didn't expect it~"

The workers around him sighed, and Wu Yan's words made them even more heartbroken.

But Li Ye smiled and said: "I don't see it that way. Didn't you understand just now? Guo Tianyong asked the workers to select thirty people to learn about the situation with him. He did not ask other people to select thirty people. Moreover, after the meeting,

Haven't you ever thought about why this is? Just to keep the sand out of my eyes! How many people does a family have and how many rooms do they have? Aren’t all the workers wealthy? Of course, if you don’t seize this opportunity, then you have no one else to blame! "

"."

The surrounding workers were stunned for a moment, and then started whispering among themselves. And because Factory Director Wang had always emphasized discipline in the meeting place, they were all very careful and sneaky as if they were communicating with XXX.

This kind of secret connection is definitely not very efficient, so by the time the meeting ended, everyone had not yet determined the official candidates for the thirty people.

At this time, Li Ye said again as if nothing had happened: "I only said that you should nominate thirty people to take the lead in recognizing the door, but I didn't say that you won't let others follow!"

"."

This sentence reached the ears of all workers at an extremely fast speed, and there were not thirty people who cooperated with Guo Tianyong in investigating the housing situation of employees.

Hundreds of people cheering directly surrounded Guo Tianyong and other Hong Kong investors, and squeezed the others outside.

"Why are you squeezing? They said we workers should choose people, so why are you squeezing?"

"That's right, three people in your family live in three rooms, why should they squeeze in?"

"."

Wu Yan silently watched Li Ye's series of "instigations" and then came over and patted Li Ye on the shoulder.

"Come on, brother, I'll treat you to a drink today. I won't stop until you drink a pound, two or three ounces."

Li Ye said in surprise: "Two or three taels per catty? That's a fine of two hundred yuan. Do we want to drink gold?"

Wu Yan curled his lips and smiled: "We have different tempers. What does two or three hundred mean? Besides, you, Brother Wu, and I are short of money?"

"."

. . . . . . . .

In the end, Li Ye and Wu Yan did not drink the "gold-like" wine.

Because there are thousands of employees in Changbei Machinery Company, if Guo Tianyong and others are expected to conduct door-to-door surveys, I don’t know how long it will take.

Therefore, Li Dayong, Pei Wenhui and Li Ye, all absolutely credible figures, were assigned as "investigation team leaders", and each led a group of people to visit the employees' homes.

Of course, the nominal leader of Li Ye's team is Wu Yan. He just helps record the records, and he has been well received by everyone.

Because Li Ye took out the statistical table that he later learned in the company, and clearly listed all the factors that could be considered on the paper.

This statistical table may not mean anything in future generations. After all, you can learn a lot with your eyes closed by watching those great masters lecture on PPT every day.

But in the eyes of Li Dayong and Pei Wenhui, Li Ye can definitely be called "my brother's great talent."

"This is the old Hu's family who burns boilers. His wife is unemployed and his son works in a foundry workshop. They only have one room. He had a daughter-in-law last year and she is married this year."

"This is the home of Mr. Cheng from the labor union. It's just an old couple. Their son and daughter have moved to the city. They have two rooms."

"This is my home. I can't tell. Let everyone tell me about my home's situation."

"Are you embarrassed to say it? What are you embarrassed about? Aren't you just living a tight life?"

"No, no, I have to avoid suspicion. Our life is hard, but we can't complain."

"."

The employee housing situation in Changbei is more complicated than Li Ye imagined. During the door-to-door investigation, there are people who are constantly complaining. If you listen to what they say, it is a lifetime of dedication and huge losses. .

But actually! Those who work hard without complaining have the worst housing conditions, while those who shout loudly and complain loudly live in better conditions.

Wu Yan stood in front of Li Ye and refused the cigarettes offered by many people with a straight face. He meticulously asked himself to write down everything. He was hated by some people and was also admired by many people. Thumbs up.

At the end of the investigation, a worker suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, look, Factory Director Wang is following us! He was so blind that I was scared to death."

"Why is he following us? Wocao, I suddenly remembered, will Factory Director Wang's son also ask for a room?"

"Why? He has only been transferred here for a few days? Besides, there are three people in his family living in three buildings. Why should he divide the rooms into different rooms?"

"."

Factory Director Wang, who had been following the visiting investigation team, had no reaction at all after hearing what the workers said, because at this time, his mind was very confused.

He knew that he was not well received by the workers at the moment, but he couldn't help but want to follow the investigation team to see what kind of trouble Guo Tianyong was up to.

At the beginning, Director Wang believed that Guo Tianyong was just going through the motions. After all, he suddenly took over the management power and had to "please" with hundreds of managers in the unit to keep the factory running.

But seeing the investigation team complete the investigation, Director Wang suddenly realized something.

Why is it that what Guo Tianyong is doing now is the same as that group of people many, many years ago? It seems to be uniting the majority and the poor?

Changbei Machinery Factory's thousand-person operation basically complies with the 80/20 rule. Eighty percent of the people do 80% of the work, but only enjoy 20% of the resources.

Director Wang thinks that people like Guo Tianyong who come from overseas and talk about money in everything must be contrary to the thinking of the mainland.

But now it seems that he is more devoted to the public than himself.

Director Wang suddenly thought of something, and his head was buzzing as if it had been struck by lightning.

[It’s bad, this guy has been here for less than two years. Not only has he brought evil trends, but he has also learned our magic weapon. 】

. . . . . . . .

Because everyone thought the statistical table Li Ye had produced was good, so he stayed at Changbei Machinery Company for one day longer than planned.

You have to have a beginning and an end to everything you do, right? For such an important matter as employee housing allocation, wasting half a day to provide opinions and ideas can be regarded as adding firewood to the future of Changbei Machinery.

However, when the housing allocation plan carefully guided by Li Ye was announced, all the workers did not believe it.

At 7:50 in the morning, the notice board of Changbei Machinery Company was surrounded by workers who got up early to go to work on the inner and outer seven floors. If you are not over 1.8 meters tall, don't think about seeing clearly what's inside the notice board from the outside. The room allocation notice was just posted.

"You said they won't lie to people, right? It's said here that as long as our factory's efficiency is good, we will build two more buildings.

Five buildings were built at once, each with 60 households, totaling 300 households! Doesn’t this mean that every family has to move into a small building? "

"It's impossible for every family to be allocated a small building. You see, people have said that one of the buildings is a technical building, specially for technicians. There are still 240 households left, but you can calculate how many there are in our factory. "household"

"Even two hundred and forty households is a big deal. Look, look, look, what is this called? This is called a house plan.

There are three households on one floor, each with two and a half rooms, sixty square meters, with a kitchen and a toilet. Good guy, is this a house built for our workers? Why doesn't it look like me? "

"Why doesn't it look like that? I look at it like, look at this house allocation list, there is no one on it who shouldn't be allocated a house.

Manager Guo never lies, unlike Factory Manager Wang, who has said that he would improve the housing problem for employees since 1977. It has been seven years and not even a new brick has been seen."

"Yes, yes, the list has been posted, and it is also specifically stated that those who are not on the list will not benefit from this housing allocation plan and will have to wait until the unit's efficiency is improved to build the next batch of employee housing."

"What if we get slapped? This matter is not new. Do we have to wait until the benefits are good to build the next batch of buildings?"

"You all haven't understood. People said that we would build two more buildings only if our factory's efficiency is high. But what has happened to our factory's efficiency in the past few months? If we really built three buildings, we would allocate one to the technicians. , then how can it be enough points?”

"."

For a moment, the area around the bulletin board seemed to have become a stage, with workers and comedians appearing on stage one after another, arguing and arguing about anything.

It has to be said that Li Ye has asked Guo Tianyong to do a great job and directly posted the room allocation list, and forget about those who are not on the list.

But the floor plan posted at the same time really made a group of workers unable to believe it.

There are two large rooms and one small room with an area of ​​60 square meters, and a complete kitchen and bathroom. Can this be shared with a young couple? It’s very generous to take parents over and live there!

But they would never have imagined that just because of this apartment type, Li Ye would have a quarrel with the construction company introduced by Professor Zhao Xiangchu!

I asked you to design it to be more spacious, and ended up building a building with three units on one floor. The north side of the middle unit can't open windows, right? People are coming and going in the corridor, and at a glance you can see what the family is doing and eating.

But the designer is still aggrieved! Nowadays, the staff dormitories are either tube buildings or four-unit buildings on one floor. The three-unit dormitories on this floor are called cadre buildings in other places!

"Stop arguing!"

A dark, skinny old man suddenly shouted, suppressing all the noise around him.

The old man pointed to the house plan and the list of house allocations on the notice board, and said with a deep expression: "Even if he only builds three buildings, as long as the houses are divided according to the lot on the list, we will not lose money after all these years, and there will be one Looking forward to it.”

"Don't they want a profit? Let's do it for them, don't we?"

"."

"What are you still doing? Are you waiting for the bell to start working?"

"Hulonglong~Hulonglong~"

As soon as the skinny old man yelled, the workers gathered around the notice board suddenly dispersed and ran to their jobs in three steps at a time.

Workers in the past did not have the concept of efficiency in their minds. Everyone was a big rice cook, and good things did not come to them. So what’s the use of good efficiency?

But it’s different now. If the benefits are good, two more buildings can be built. If you weren’t eligible for housing allocation, wouldn’t you be?

However, after the workers ran away, some people remained around the notice board.

Director Cao from the factory office had been unable to squeeze in just now. Now he came to the notice board and saw the list of room allocations.

He fingered the densely packed names on it, looking from the beginning to the end, and then from the end to the beginning, before confirming that his and his son's names were not on it.

Their family of three lived in a tube house with two rooms, one large and one small. It was far worse than the 60-square-meter house with kitchen and bathroom on the notice board.

According to the previous practice, he should move to a new building and "give" the Tongzi Building to others. It is not impossible to even move to a new building without letting the old house.

But what happened? Let me divide the next batch when the benefits are good? Is there a rule for this?

"This is nonsense!"

"Yes, nonsense!"

"After all, he is a foreigner and he doesn't understand the worldly customs here!"

"Haha, we'll see."

Several people around Lao Cao sneered, and then walked slowly to their work stations.

They didn't leave in a hurry. Anyway, they were just making a cup of tea and reading a newspaper. The young men under them would do the trivial work!

Lao Cao came to the end with a gloomy face.

He thought that the people in front of him deliberately spoke so loudly, but they were actually saying it to him, because among these people, he, Lao Cao, was the one who deserved to be assigned a room, and none of them deserved to compare with him.

However, Lao Cao walked last, and another person followed behind him.

"Old Cao, you are in danger."

"What? Hey, director, have you just arrived? Didn't you read the notice on the bulletin board about the allocation of houses?"

Director Wang waved his hand and said, "Don't look at it, it's definitely not for you and me. And are you still in the mood to think about the house at this moment?"

Director Cao narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Director, what do you mean by this?"

Factory Director Wang said: "Look at Guo Tianyong's actions. It's obvious that he takes the housing issue of employees as a big deal. But yesterday you asked questions about the housing issue of employees and didn't know anything about it. You are the director of the factory office!"

Director Cao immediately defended himself and said, "I don't know what to ask. Didn't I just give a general picture of the situation?"

Factory Manager Wang looked at Director Cao and smiled. That weird smile seemed to say, you kid, are you still playing tricks on me? Do you think I don’t understand your little tricks?

Director Cao had to explain the housing situation clearly so that he could use the magic of shifting the world. If he had explained it clearly, would the article in it still be possible?

How can it be made clear that the allocation of rooms in any unit is not a feast of profit distribution?

Director Cao was a little embarrassed by Director Wang's smile, so he also smiled and said: "Director, how about you choose one, and we can all do it together."

Director Wang said flatly: "I am no longer the director of the factory. Manager Guo has the final say in the factory now. I advise you to do your job well and not have any other ideas."

"."

Director Cao froze on the spot, staring blankly at Factory Director Wang walking away.

"Pfft~, you did tell the truth."

At this time, Guo Tianyong had offended a large number of people, and Director Cao felt that this was an opportunity for Factory Director Wang to make a comeback.

But Factory Director Wang is not stupid. He used to shout and drink at the young workers in that chair. No one dared to say a word except for those thorny ones.

But the tempers of young people nowadays are not very good. If you really use your fists, how many can you hit by yourself?

But Factory Director Wang is not stupid, and there are many stupid people in the factory.

Many people were dissatisfied with Hong Kong manager Guo Tianyong's "arbitrary" housing allocation policy, and his work attitude suddenly dropped to freezing point. In just one day, various production links that needed to be coordinated became unsmooth.

Factory Director Wang was sitting in the office, watching the various operations of everyone coldly, and couldn't help but sneer sarcastically.

Changbei Machinery Factory has been established for many years, and the redundant cadres accumulated are intertwined. One move affects the whole body, so everyone feels that they can continue to be comfortable.

But now that everyone has united from the grassroots level up, each one of them doesn’t realize that disaster is about to happen?

Do you still drink tea and read the newspaper? Do you really think Hong Kong investors are stupid and have too much money?

The factory's finances are already owned by Hong Kong investors, and the personnel management said it was arranged through negotiation between the two parties. But look at Guo Tianyong's attitude towards housing allocation. Is he willing to negotiate with you?

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Guo Tianyong convened a talk with worker representatives from each workshop to recommend a talent echelon for production management. He selected some workers with a reasonable level of education and implemented a production management system that, in the opinion of Director Wang, was very rough.

However, this system was rough and rough, and the workers were a little rusty when they first got started, but they were more diligent and did not delay production. In addition, several managers from Hong Kong taught carefully, and they successfully bypassed the original management team.

Who said that only those who work in offices can do management?

Guo Tianyong actually wanted to use brutal one-size-fits-all methods to rebuild a whole set of management processes.

[This set of methods is not Guo Tianyong’s usual style. Who could it be? 】

Factory Director Wang, who was watching with cold eyes, always felt that something was wrong.

He thought about it and finally noticed a person - Li Ye.

Because Li Ye originally visited Changbei Machinery Company with Li Zhongfa, Director Wang noticed him even though they only met a few times.

Now that he appears in Changbei again with Li Dayong and others, can't you guess who the person behind him is?

"Li Zhongfa, it must be you, you are the most familiar with this method!"
