Chapter 476
Time passed day by day, and it was June in a blink of an eye, and the weather was getting hotter day by day.
There are also more people selling sour plum soup at the entrance of the alley. There are obviously more small traders and hawkers this year.
This is still Beijing, a city that lives under a long-term planned economy, and individual economic activities still seem so cautious and sparse.
Most of those engaged in individual business activities come from the lowest level of society, the unemployed, those who have returned to the city, and those with criminal records. They embarked on the road of business and entrepreneurship when they had no choice but to do so.
Individual business owners are looked down upon by others. This is the unanimous view of most people, including Li Siyan.
Jiang Xiaobai is still carefully concealing everything including Jiang Xiaobai’s flagship store.
However, some cities along the coast and in the south are already undergoing crazy changes.
Small hardware, small chemicals, small plastics, small anti-woven fabrics, and small processing plants are growing like wild weeds.
At the same time as this crazy growth occurred, people began to become crazy when they were afraid of poverty.
Smuggling began to become rampant, with smuggling fishing boats smuggling in clothing, small household appliances, small hardware, etc. from overseas.
Small docks in some remote places have become smuggling markets. Many people have completed gray primitive accumulation through smuggling.
Of course, a considerable number of people will eventually be liquidated.
However, these have nothing to do with Jiang Xiaobai for the time being. Jiang Xiaobai is still slowly accumulating his own wealth in his own way, while waiting for the sun to come out completely.
When will nothing be able to block the light?
"Jingle bell."
"Hello, this is Jiang Xiaobai." Jiang Xiaobai picked up the phone in the office.
"Director," Xu Weiping's voice came from the phone.
"Lao Xu, how was the conversation?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"They agreed to the joint venture, but the conditions were too harsh. Not only the funds, but also other conditions, I..." Xu Weiping's voice came from the phone.
"Okay, I'll go there and you wait for me." Jiang Xiaobai thought for a while and then hung up the phone.
"Director Jin, get ready, let's go to Luobo." Jiang Xiaobai said.
"We went to Luobo because of the production line? How many people are there?" Jin Guoyan asked.
"Yes, Lao Xu can't talk over there. It's better for us to go and have a look in person. You can decide how many people will go, no more than 10 people." Jiang Xiaobai said.
He understood what Jin Guoyan meant. Every business trip was almost like traveling to the factory director, employees or leaders.
It is a benefit, and Jiang Xiaobai is not willing to embarrass himself in various matters outside and make a high profile.
"Try to arrange a few outstanding employees from the top few, which can be considered as motivation." Jiang Xiaobai added.
"Okay, I understand." Jin Guoyan nodded and said.
Jin Guoyan booked the tickets for the next day that day. Early the next morning, after Jiang Xiaobai got up, the inspection team that set off to Luobo arrived.
Jin Guoyan, Ma Liangquan from the finance office, and a few other outstanding employees, Jiang Xiaobai also saw Xue Fangling among them, smiled and said nothing more.
After having breakfast in the factory, a group of people took the liberation truck in the factory and set off to the train station.
I don’t know where Jin Guoyan got it from, but all ten people got sleeper tickets.
Among them, Jin Guoyan and Jiang Xiaobai were on the lower bunk. Jiang Xiaobai looked at an old worker who was climbing up to the upper bunk, thought for a while and said.
"Okay, let's change, I'll go to the upper bunk,"
"No, Director Jiang, I'll just go to the upper bunk." The old worker said excitedly.
In so many years, this was the first time he was present in the factory during an inspection.
He was extremely happy after receiving the notice from Jin Guoyan last night. He was excited all night. His family members were also happy and asked him to bring some local specialties when he came back.
In the past, I would look at other employees in the factory and follow the factory leaders out for inspections, saying sour words such as: "I don't want to go, so I don't care to go."
Now it's finally my turn, and it's a sleeper ticket. I haven't ridden in a sleeper car yet.
"It's okay, Uncle Wang, you have dedicated your whole life to the factory director. It's okay for me to climb up and down." Jiang Xiaobai exchanged the tickets for the two of them without any explanation.
"Let me go up, Director Jiang." Jin Guoyan on the side also said.
"It's okay, no need." Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand and climbed up.
After going up, I realized that the person opposite me was Xue Fangling.
"Sister Xue, will anyone take care of the child at home when you leave?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
Having stayed in Daxing Glass Factory for more than half a year, Jiang Xiaobai still knew something about Xue Fangling, who tidied her office every day and had a first-rate figure and appearance.
I learned that Xue Fangling's husband had passed away and she was taking care of her children alone.
"Sent to the child's grandma's house." Xue Fangling said that since her husband's death, although she has not remarried, the relationship between her and her husband's family is not very good.
The old couple in the husband's family always think that they are too charming and are killing their husbands, thereby killing their lives.
In addition, the child was a girl, so contact with her husband was cut off as soon as she passed away.
"Well, that's good. Sister Xue, haven't you thought about finding another one?" Jiang Xiaobai was idle anyway, chatting casually with Xue Fangling.
"Not yet. Firstly, the child is too young and she feels wronged. Secondly, there is no suitable one." Xue Fangling said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, but you are still so young. If you find someone suitable, you can consider it. After all, it is not conducive for children to grow up if they grow up in a single-parent family." Jiang Xiaobai said.
Many young children in later generations have turned to crime. Most of them are due to family reasons, such as divorced parents or other single-parent families.
"Well, let's talk about it. What about you? Factory Director Xiaobai, do you have a partner?" Xue Fangling asked.
When Jiang Xiaobai heard Xue Fangling's question, he was stunned for a moment before replying: "Yes."
If Xue Fangling hadn't asked about this, Jiang Xiaobai felt that he might have almost forgotten that he had another partner.
After coming to Daxing Glass Factory, Jiang Xiaobai and Li Siyan had fewer opportunities to meet.
It turns out that when I was in Jianhua Village, I still communicated with Li Siyan by one letter a month.
But after arriving at Daxing Glass Factory, there was no need to write letters and meet each other at such a short distance. Jiang Xiaobai did not go to school often, and the exchanges between the two of them were also less.
Moreover, Jiang Xiaobai also discovered that Li Siyan was very opposed to the business he was doing after coming to the capital.
I have always been thinking about studying abroad. Every time I meet, I will say three words about studying abroad.
