Chapter 3 The Difficulties of the Qin Family
With the deepening of reform and opening up, the domestic market is transforming from a planned economy to a market economy. As a result, state-owned enterprises fell into the difficulties of transformation in the mid-to-late 1980s. The products produced were unable to be sold due to lack of competitiveness, and the debts outside were unable to be collected for various reasons, and the enterprises were declining.
By the time the 1990s entered the 1990s, state-owned enterprises were not adapted to the market economy and the consequences of the outbreak broke out, and a large number of enterprises either went bankrupt or were merged or eliminated by the market.
Like other state-owned enterprises, Huangzhou Machinery Factory has now lost its glory as it used to be. Under the impact of the market economy, its efficiency is getting worse and worse. After Wu Kui came to Huangzhou Machinery Factory, he thought about doing something big, so he wanted to introduce an advanced assembly line from abroad to enhance the competitiveness of Huangzhou Machinery Factory in the market.
The West Germany assembly line requires more than 20 million, and the Huangzhou Machinery Factory only has more than 3 million on the books. Although more than 18 million yuan of debts were not recovered, they also owed others more than 16 million yuan of foreign debts, which is the so-called "triangle debt", and they could not afford so much money at all.
The reason why Wu Kui was able to buy this assembly line in West Germany was of course the strong support of Gu Liancheng. Huangzhou Machinery Factory is a star enterprise in Huangzhou. Gu Liancheng hopes that Huangzhou Machinery Factory can regain its former style during his term and become a leading enterprise in Hedong Province. This will be a major political achievement for him.
Zhao Dongsheng never thought that it was this group of machines that were highly anticipated by people that later caused a "big earthquake" in Huangzhou Machinery Factory, triggering a "blood battle" between Bai Keming and Wu Kui, which made Zhang Haishan unexpectedly take over, take over the power of the factory, and also connected his fate with Zhang Haishan.
The low buildings on both sides of the street, the monotonous pedestrian clothing and endless bicycles, riding bicycles on the street, Zhao Dongsheng seemed to have returned to his childhood in a daze, feeling deeply moved, and he didn't know how his parents were. He really wanted to put down everything he has now and go home to take a look.
Since it was Sunday, the park was crowded with people, and many people came together, making a bustling scene.
"Give it, please treat you to ice cream." Just as Zhao Dongsheng was strolling in the park with great enthusiasm, savoring the past when he came to the park with his parents when he was a child, Qin Yuning and Wang Yuanyuan bought ice cream and handed it over to him and Wang Jianjun.
After taking the ice cream, Wang Jianjun bit off one third of it and chewed it in big mouthfuls. Zhao Dongsheng put the ice cream into his mouth and sucked it with relish, savoring the taste of ice cream when he was a child, with a comfortable look on his face.
Qin Yuning looked at Zhao Dongsheng with some confusion. She was very surprised. Isn’t it just an ice cream? It seemed like Zhao Dongsheng was eating some delicacies.
Zhao Dongsheng had a great time in the park and took a lot of photos. In the evening, he was inviting Wang Jianjun, Wang Yuanyuan and Qin Yuning to have dinner at a restaurant.
Although Zhao Dongsheng is just a technician, he is a real-time clerk in the technical department of Huangzhou Machinery Factory because he graduated from Yan University. He has the title of junior engineer and his salary is close to 300 yuan a month. Although Wang Jianjun worked six years earlier than him, his salary is less than 100, which is only one-third of his.
Zhao Dongsheng ordered a lot of dishes, and the four of them chatted and laughed at the dinner table, and had a great time.
Before leaving, there were a lot of unfinished dishes left on the table. Zhao Dongsheng called the waiter to pack the leftovers and asked Wang Yuanyuan and Qin Yuning to take them back for their family to eat: there was no refrigerator in his and Wang Jianjun's dormitory, and it must have been rotten all night on a hot day.
Qin Yuning and Wang Yuanyuan's home are in two different neighborhoods. Zhao Dongsheng broke up with Wang Jianjun at a crossroads. Wang Yuanyuan broke up and sent Qin Yuning home.
Zhao Dongsheng talked funny, and made Qin Yuning laugh all the way, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
There were many people enjoying the cool air in the alley where Qin Yuning’s family was. After entering the alley, Qin Yuning smiled and greeted the people she knew.
People in the alley looked at Zhao Dongsheng, whispering, whispering, and secretly guessing the relationship between him and Qin Yuning.
"I'm here, go in and have some water." Qin Yuning got off the bicycle in front of a courtyard gate and said to Zhao Dongsheng with a smile.
"Next time, it's getting late, it's time for me to go back." Zhao Dongsheng felt that it was his first time meeting with Qin Yuning, and it seemed too abrupt to go to her house like this, so he smiled and found an excuse to refuse.
"Yu Ning, your grandfather fainted." As soon as Zhao Dongsheng finished speaking, a young man rushed out of the yard in a hurry and said loudly after seeing Qin Yu Ning.
"What?" Qin Yuning was shocked when she heard this. She leaned against the wall and rushed into the yard.
Zhao Dongsheng didn't expect something to happen to Qin Yuning's family, so he followed him in.
There are five families living in the courtyard. The houses are low and old, and they look a little old.
Due to the large number of people and few houses, each household built a house on the open space in front of the door. In addition, various debris piled up randomly makes the yard look crowded and messy.
Qin Yuning's home is south of the yard. Zhao Dongsheng and Qin Yuning had just walked to the door of the house. A strong young man walked out of the house quickly with an old man in his sixties on his back, followed by several middle-aged men and women.
"Grandpa!" Seeing the old man, Qin Yuning's eyes suddenly became wet, and she ran forward and supported the old man with concern.
The old man is Qin Yuning's grandfather Qin Yi, and the young man who carries Qin Yi is Qin Qiang, Qin Yuning's eldest brother. Among the middle-aged people who are following behind, Qin Yuning's father Qin Dashan and mother Liu Cui'e, and the rest are neighbors who come to help in the yard.
Qin Yi suddenly fainted not long ago, scaring Qin Dashan and Liu Cui'e. With the help of his neighbors, he rushed to the hospital.
After waiting for a while at the gate of the Siheyuan, a tractor drove over. The young man Zhao Dongsheng had met before at the gate of the yard was sitting next to the driver of the tractor. He was a resident of the yard, Feng Fei, a friend of Qin Qiang who has been playing with since childhood.
The tractor was borrowed by Feng Fei from a nearby flour mill. The flour mill is an industry on the street. The driver lives in the factory at night. Everyone is a neighbor, so the driver will naturally help.
Zhao Dongsheng, Qin Qiang and others carried Qin Yi into the tractor's car, then climbed onto the tractor, reached out to pull Song Yuning up, and followed the tractor to the hospital. The Qin family encountered such a big thing, how could he leave?
Due to the emergency, Qin Yi was sent to the best First People's Hospital in Huangzhou City. The doctor on duty immediately rescued him. The Qin family was anxiously waiting for news outside the rescue room.
Zhao Dongsheng leaned against the wall, and his right five fingers beat the thigh rhythmically. Judging from Qin Yi's situation, he felt that the situation was not very optimistic.
More than ten minutes later, the door of the rescue room opened, and Qin Dashan and others hurriedly walked up to the doctor who came out to ask about Qin Yi's situation.
"The patient's heart has serious problems. We can only provide conservative treatment for him for the time being. If you want to cure it, you must go to the provincial central hospital. You can send him to the provincial capital as soon as possible." The doctor took off his mask and said to Qin Dashan with a serious expression.
The Provincial Central Hospital is the leading tertiary hospital in Hedong Province. It has strong medical strength, advanced medical facilities, and has in-depth research on the heart and brain. It is very prestigious in the northwest, central and southern regions and has admitted many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients.
"Provincial capital?" Qin Dashan's face suddenly showed a look of astonishment. Dongping City, the provincial capital, is more than 800 miles away from Huangzhou. It is definitely impossible for him to use a tractor for such a long distance, otherwise he would not be able to arrive in the Year of the Monkey and Horses. Besides, the flour mill will have to transport goods tomorrow, so it is impossible for the tractor to go to Dongping. Where can I find a car for him at this night?
Qin Dashan and Liu Cui'e both work in the winery in the district. There are two trucks in the winery, but like a tractor, these two trucks will have to pick up goods tomorrow and have no time to send Qin Yi to Dongping, otherwise it will delay the production tasks in the factory. It seems that he can only rent a car from outside.
"This is a major operation. Let's prepare for 3,000 yuan first!" The doctor's subsequent words made Qin Dashan's face even more ugly. His monthly salary and Liu Cui'e were only about 100 yuan. Apart from daily expenses, he could not save any money. Even if he was selling the goods, he could not afford so much money.
"Dad, I've handed over the car and money to me. You and mom pack up your things and prepare to take grandpa to Dongping." Qin Qiang knew the difficulties at home, bit his teeth and turned around and left.
"Where are you going?" Qin Qiang was grabbed by Liu Cui'e before he could take a few steps.
"I have a friend who does business, so I'll ask him for help." Qin Qiang smiled slightly at Liu Cui'e, trying to pull his hand back from Liu Cui'e's hand.
"You finally broke off contact with those people, so you can't go to find them anymore." Liu Cui'e knew Qin Qiang's thoughts, and grabbed him tightly, but she refused to let go.
"Mom, are you letting me watch grandpa leave us?" Qin Qiang smiled bitterly when he saw Liu Cui'e see through her intentions, looking at Liu Cui'e with a sad expression, her eyes full of perseverance.
Liu Cui'e was silent when she heard this, her eyes revealed a complicated look.
Zhao Dongsheng watched the scene in front of him coldly. From the conversation between the two just now, he could be sure that the people Liu Cui'e mentioned were definitely not good people.
Qin Qiang got into junior high school and got into trouble with the streets. He either fought or fought. He was sentenced to labor camp for a year because of hurting people. After coming out, he started doing business with Feng Fei, and he was busy all over the world, making money.
It turned out that Qin Qiang and Feng Fei also made tens of thousands of yuan in a year, but they were cheated in a city in the south half a month ago and lost all their money and had no money for food. They had no choice but to go home and prepare to regain their momentum and go out to explore.
