Chapter 2 Dreams set sail
"Twenty-four years ago, when the first shovel of soil for the construction of Lianyungang was dug out, a new thing began to sprout quietly on this land. Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, this seedling may be submerged in the ancient Chinese tradition, but who can deny that sometimes the sprout will change a lot. //www.//
It was also twenty-four years ago, when Mr. Li Zicheng was giving lectures to students at Lianyun Business School, he used one sentence to describe his "future" in his mind.
"What is our goal? Some people think it is the bustling cities along the route, factories, and wealth that extends with the railway! No, this is by no means the whole of our goal, at least it is not my dream.
Everything we do here will not only change the country's industry and economy, but more importantly, our changes in the traditions of this nation. Here, we have given equal opportunities for everyone in China and even everyone in the world. As long as we work hard, we can realize our dreams.
Perhaps now, some people will doubt it, but in the future, everyone who comes here will believe that no matter what background or origin, they can achieve a better life as long as they work hard and unremittingly, that is, people must achieve personal success through their own diligence, courage, creativity and determination, rather than relying on the assistance of specific social classes and others.
In the future, it is this kind of success for every individual that leads to the success of a country. In the future, this will always inspire young people from all over the country to come to this land to create their own value, and the only cause we need to stick to is to adhere to this purpose.
In the past twenty-one years, countless diplomats and observers have evaluated the success of this country based on their own observations. They always have this and that view. For example, a recognized concept has specifically pointed out the four major elements of China's success: having a capable public service team, being able to formulate forward-looking industrial policies; a fair and efficient service system; an intervention method that conforms to the laws of the market economy; and having a pilot organization like the Ministry of Industry and Commerce... But all these are the rhetoric of politicians. However, there is a saying in China that China's rapid economic development and industrial expansion are not just because of China's abundant natural resources and efficient government agencies, but because everyone has the opportunity to gain wealth through their own efforts!
Just as in a speech several years ago, Mr. Li Zicheng interpreted this dream to the world - "The Chinese dream of allowing citizens of all classes to live a better, richer and happier life, this is our greatest contribution to the world's thoughts and welfare so far."
The Call of the Column Age of Lippmann, the New York Herald Tribune, in 1936
Like any Longhai Railway affiliated area, a long queue has been arranged outside the career introduction office located on 15th Street, and the queues people have lined up seem very neat.
Queue, everyone must learn to queue up when they come here!
What did Song Chengjie learn from the affiliated area of Baoji Station? I'm afraid it's just queuing. Perhaps the police looked very kind, but in some specific situations, the glue-covered vine sticks inserted on their waists like long knives will hit others without hesitation, such as those who are huddled in a mess and do not queuing.
In Baoji, Song Chengjie was beaten by a baton because he didn't line up. He beat him a few times. After that, the police told him that the reason for hitting him was because he didn't line up, and it was because of that experience that made him determined to learn to read, because this article had been written on the notification board.
At this time, Song Chengjie, who was waiting in the queue, saw two patrol police coming from a distance. He quickly looked at himself, well, he did not miss the "queue" line on the ground. In fact, it was a brick line on the sidewalk and a line line. There were always many details here, and people needed to follow it.
Many people come here and eventually leave because they cannot adapt to this kind of life that needs to keep their attention all the time in life. However, Song Chengjie knows that when people get used to this kind of life, they will realize that this orderly life will not only bring about a new lifestyle, but also a more convenient life.
"One of the things that everyone will learn about Longhai when you come here is that if you work hard and abide by the law, this place will be truly open to you. You can do anything."
While waiting in line, Song Chengjie looked at the display board on the wall and the words on the display board. His heart was once again full of expectations for the future. At least here, there is no need to find a survivor, no need to join a gang, no need to pay money, and even a job introduction office is free.
In the affiliated areas along the Longhai Line, according to the affiliated employment regulations, all labor relations must be formed with the intervention of the employment agency. Whether it is a employment enterprise or a job seeker, they must register at the public occupational agency. Only after the public occupational agency completes the procedures can a labor relationship be formed.
The main reason for the intervention of the affiliated management committee is that the management agencies should play an active role in adjusting the supply and demand relationship of the labor market. The intervention of the management agencies can effectively prevent enterprises from discrimination in recruiting workers or lowering wages, and ensure that workers have equal employment opportunities. More importantly, due to the continuous flow of people entering Lianyun, they rarely take the initiative to go to the police station to make plans, and the affiliated areas control population inflows through employment agencies.
Of course, in the eyes of the Management Committee and the police station, the existence of public service employment agency has prevented all affiliated areas along the Longhai Line from appearing "work insurance" like Shanghai and Tianjin. The so-called guarantors who introduce jobs to workers and then take commissions from workers' wages are often gang members. They even indirectly grasp the factory's employment rights through their mastery of workers, thus forcing enterprises to pay "work expenses".
This system that affects business will naturally not be accepted by Longhai. In the early days of the establishment of the Longhai Railway, a large number of direct recruitment of workers was avoided to some extent. Although such gangs were born later, they were naturally eliminated by the market due to mandatory labor regulations.
He received the watch, got on the plan, and finally waited on the chair. After more than ten minutes, Song Chengjie entered the cubicle of the career agency.
"Graduated from junior primary school - Baoji Station night school?"
The staff behind the table looked up at the young man in front of him.
"Why do you want to come here from Baoji? The salary at Baoji Station is not low!"
"Well, sir, there are more opportunities here."
"Okay, junior high school, let me see what is suitable for your job..."
In the next few minutes, the staff kept proposing more than a dozen kinds of jobs. Although some of them sounded very fresh, Song Chengjie was not interested. Finally, the staff put the information in his hand on the desktop and asked seriously.
"Well, tell me, what kind of job do you want to do?"
"I..."
What kind of job you want? Song Chengjie was stunned by the words of his husband. On the way to Lianyun, he was thinking about this issue. Why do he think that Baoji has a better chance than here? It's not because it's a big city, but because...
"I want to go to the factory to be an apprentice, it's better to be a factory that makes machines!"
"apprentice?"
The young man's answer only stunned the staff. He glanced at the young man's age, who was already twenty-three years old, and was only a junior high school night school education, if he wanted to be an apprentice.
"It takes at least three years to be an apprentice, and the monthly apprenticeship salary is only eight yuan! Although it includes food and accommodation, your age will face many other problems in the future."
A kind reminder, but Song Chengjie shook his head when changing his career.
"Three years later, if I get into a second-level job, I can earn 28 yuan a month!"
Although he was just a junior high school education, Song Chengjie still had his own account in his heart. He might not make much money in the first five years, but in the future, he could make a lot of money.
A very calculating person!
The staff took a serious look at the person and then took out a form.
"You can make a plan first!"
The next day, the weather was hotter than usual. Even though the weather was hot, Song Chengjie decided to go to school to take a look. If nothing unexpected happened, he would enter the school in two days and receive apprenticeship training with others. According to the introduction in the information book, apprentices need to study in school for one year. The sun set in the west shone on the road of the ** Primary Industrial Technology School, arrayed with technical buildings, and the glass windows on the house radiated with brilliance like melting. The sky was high and clear. In this pure sky, the blazing flames in the west floated over from time to time, exposing Song Chengjie's neck. He used half of his body to withstand the sunset and walked into the woods on the left.
At this time, the lush branches and leaves of the forest were stained with a layer of red left by the sunset. Cicadas chirped on the tall trees, and Song Chengjie walked to the pool and squatted down. The surroundings were very quiet, without the sound of trams. This may be the characteristic of the school, at least this is how the school is.
Looking around the campus and looking at the students on the playground, those people were obviously teenagers. Perhaps he was the oldest student here. Have you spent three years in this school in the next three years?
Although she was a little confused, Song Chengjie did not hesitate. The reason why she came here was because she saw the information of the apprentice school during the night school. Even if it only costs eight yuan a month, it would be more than when she was at home, and in the future...
Thinking about the future, Song Chengjie was full of longing for the future.
After he left school, perhaps because he walked too much in the afternoon and sweated too much, he felt a little thirsty. When he felt thirsty, he heard a sound from the side of the road.
"Dutch water, drink a cup of Dutch water to quench your thirst..."
Dutch water? What is Dutch water?
Looking at the sound, Song Chengjie saw a gray iron bucket on a wooden chair at the intersection. The three words "Dutch Water" were written on the iron bucket. The words were ugly, and even worse than what he wrote.
"A cup of copper plate, it's cool to the heart..."
Finally, amid the hawker's shouts, Song Chengjie walked over and bought a cup for a copper plate. As soon as the hawker took the copper plate, he quickly picked up the glass and placed it next to the bucket. There was a tap-like thing under the bucket, and it came out as soon as he twisted the water.
"Sir, give it! This Dutch water has just been fresh from abroad! I can quench my thirst this summer, but I can drink it from my mouth to my stomach. It's so cool that it feels so cool!"
The Dutch water in the cup looked a little green. As soon as the cup reached its mouth, Song Chengjie smelled a "silver herb". This smell... reminded him of the juice made by the river when he was a child and they picked some mint leaves by the river in summer, and then mixed it with some licorice water. It smelled like this.
"Can this thing be sold?"
Although he felt a little regretful, he had already paid the money and was so thirsty that he still started drinking. When he first drank this "Dutch Water", he felt that the taste was a bit strange. The smell of the silver dancao was too heavy, but soon he found a kind of refreshing nose and throat relief from his discomfort, which was very comfortable.
But when Song Chengjie was drinking this "Dutch water", the man had already sold five or six cups. When someone paid, he glanced at the vendor's money box. One of the money box was filled with copper coins, and a few had to be worth two or three yuan.
Looking at the vendor's money box and looking at the "Dutch Water" with the smell of silver elixir grass in the cup, Song Chengjie's heart moved, and then he ran across the street. After only two hours of darkness, Song Chengjie saw that the man sold four iron buckets of "Dutch Water". The four buckets of "Dutch Water" alone were worth at least two yuan, but how much was his capital?
A thermal bucket, a chair, a few glasses... On the way to the hotel where I stayed, Song Chengjie's mind was full of Dutch water, which was Dutch water that could earn a few dollars a day, if...
But that is not a one-person job, and there is also a person who needs to deliver water, otherwise it will definitely delay business. But if I am not familiar with this place, who can I ask for help? If the third brother, fourth brother and others come out, then... Suddenly, the woman, the woman who I saw on the train, now lives in the bathroom in the hotel like her.
If it were her...
"Lingling, I, I found a job,"
While having dinner, Song Chengjie lowered his head half-confidently and said to the fellow villager who also went out to find a job, that now, they are not strangers.
"What's your life?"
"I see that a business is impossible to do it alone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Chengjie still felt the guards in Lingling's eyes, and he quickly explained.
"Don't you do it yourself. If you make money by then, I will give you twenty dollars a month..."
Is there such a good thing?
The woman looked at Song Chengjie in confusion. This stranger who could not be considered a stranger, and in the end she nodded.
"middle."
