Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

The next day, Zhang Jiaqiang came to the cable TV station's office early in the morning.

Zhang Xuexi received him with joy.

"Jia Qiang, sit down quickly and try my new tea!"

Zhang Jiaqiang was not polite. He poured himself a cup of tea, sat on the sofa and chatted for a few words. He immediately changed the subject and talked about the purpose of his trip.

Zhang Xuexi was overjoyed when he heard that he had registered a company and was preparing to take over the installation project.

"Okay, you happen to be in the window period. I can arrange a project for you in a district. In a few days, there will be a public bidding in Taili. You may not be able to compete with those big companies by then!"

Zhang Jiaqiang originally planned to win the entire Luonan City project, but now he can only win one district, so he is inevitably a little disappointed.

But then I thought about it, now my strength is limited, the amount of work in one district is enough, no more than I am afraid it will be beyond my capabilities.

He hurriedly asked, "Uncle Third, can I choose the area by myself?"

Zhang Xuexi smiled and said, "You got the point right."

It turns out that Luonan City’s cable TV station has just been established this year, and the home installation project must start in the urban area first.

There are five districts in Luonan City, which are ranked according to residents' spending power: Shizhong, Lishan, Liuyin, Daqiao, and Waicheng.

In some places, there are many people who cannot even afford a TV set, and even fewer people can install cable TV.

The installation rate of cable TV is also related to the consumption level of these areas.

Therefore, choosing a suitable area is the key to making big money.

After Zhang Jiaqiang heard his introduction, he grinned and said, "If I can choose, I plan to choose the city. If I can't do it, Lishan will make sense!"

Zhang Xuexi nodded and said, "It's better to come early than to come by chance. You're lucky. I'll find a way to help you in a while and let you win the city!"

Naturally, Zhang Xuexi had to pay attention to the affairs of his own relatives. Zhang Xuexi asked Zhang Jiaqiang to sit in the office for a meeting first. He went out to busy himself for a while, and when he came back, he had a contract contract and a construction authorization letter in his hand.

"Jiaqiang, it's a bit difficult here in the city. I helped you win Lishan. Don't feel wronged. Lishan is developing rapidly. Even though the current application rate is lower than that in the city, I think it will soon If you can outperform other districts and work hard with peace of mind, your future income may not be bad!"

Zhang Jiaqiang was ecstatic. Of course he knew that it wouldn't be long before Lishan District would far surpass its peers and become the economic center of Luonan City. If he could win all the cable projects here, he would have a golden job.

"No way, my third uncle can help me win the project, I'm not happy enough!" He lowered his head and read the contents of the contract carefully.

Zhang Xuexi also felt a little sorry for his junior, and immediately said, "I don't have to say anything else, but I can help you a little more with the settlement. How about changing it to monthly settlement for you!"

Zhang Jiaqiang's only worry was that the settlement was too slow. Now that the final problem has been solved, he was happy and thanked him repeatedly.

It seemed that this cousin was quite reliable. Zhang Jiaqiang was grateful and nodded in agreement before saying goodbye and leaving.

Because the business license has not yet been obtained, the contract has not been officially signed, but with the construction authorization letter, work can begin.

When he got back to the car, he asked Guo Yonggang to go to the hardware store. He bought a large cart of wire strippers, hammers, ladders, and other tools and returned to the factory.

In the afternoon, Zhang Jiaqiang selected a dozen people who were suitable for sales and called the remaining young men to the factory.

We held a meeting in the shade outside the workshop.

A few days ago, he had already informed those who were not suitable for sales that they would be assigned other jobs.

So today he directly took out the contract and the list of equipment, and showed it in front of everyone's faces.

"Brothers, the project has been secured. The entire cable TV project in Lishan District belongs to us."

Just this sentence made everyone cheer.

Several guys who didn't believe in Zhang Jiaqiang were now completely convinced.

Some people even began to imagine whether Zhang Jiaqiang would fulfill his promise of welfare housing allocation in three years.

After everyone calmed down, Zhang Jiaqiang began to make detailed arrangements.

There are no less than a hundred residential areas in the entire Lishan District, and many are under construction. Household construction projects must not be carried out in a rush.First, the more than 80 people were divided into ten teams, and captains were appointed in each team.

In the future, these captains will be responsible for arranging work, calculating workload, and managing tools and supplies.

Each group is responsible for about ten communities, so that they can be organized and orderly.

The ordinary signal lines used by cable TV in this era are incomparable to the optical fiber of later generations. Installation and wiring are very simple. As long as you know how to connect wires, you can do it, and you don’t even need training.

After everything was arranged, Zhang Jiaqiang asked each team to pick up the tools and start work tomorrow according to the installation list.

When I got home, it was already dark. When I opened the door, a strong smell of stew hit my nostrils.

"I'm back, go wash your hands and eat now!"

Ye Xiumei wore an apron around her waist and stood at the door of the kitchen, looking like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law.

Seeing such a wife, no matter how tired she is outside, all fatigue will be swept away in an instant.

Zhang Jiaqiang walked quickly to his wife and reached out for a bear hug, but Ye Xiumei deftly dodged it.

"Don't make trouble, be careful if the kids see it!"

Only then did Zhang Jiaqiang realize that Zhou Xiaomeng was hiding in the corner and peeking at them with his big eyes blinking.

Even though children are young, they are all precocious these days. They are confused about many things and sometimes learn from adults.

In order to cover up his embarrassment, he reached out and opened the lid of the pot, "Hey, stewed pork ribs, I want to try my wife's cooking skills today!"

Ye Xiumei slapped his hand away, "The soup is for Mengmeng to replenish her health. The meat is all yours and you will eat enough!"

Ever since Mengmeng entered the house, Ye Xiumei's motherly nature has exploded, and she has been treating her better than her own daughter, even a little bit neglecting Zhang Jiaqiang.

It seemed that he was on the verge of being reduced to a third-class citizen. Zhang Jiaqiang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

We must take over my wife completely tonight, otherwise the habit will become natural and the longer it is delayed, the harder it will be to make further progress.

"Godfather, Mengmeng also wants to eat meat together!"

Zhang Jiaqiang squatted down, pinched her little face and said, "Mengmeng has just had an operation. She can't eat meat. Drink more soup. All the nutritional essence is in it!"

Zhou Xiaomeng pouted, "I don't want essence, I want to eat meat!"

Ye Xiumei smiled and said, "This girl is very clever, it's hard to fool her!"

Zhang Jiaqiang took advantage of her not paying attention, gently twisted her plump buttocks, and said with a sly smile, "I'll just fool my wife!"

Ye Xiumei was ashamed and angry, but she didn't want to get angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to die. Why don't you go wash your hands and eat!"

After dinner, Zhang Jiaqiang took a bath and washed himself clean.

After Ye Xiumei coaxed Mengmeng to sleep, she hugged her into her arms.

"Daughter-in-law, I plan to take you back to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law tomorrow!"

Ye Xiumei hadn't seen her parents for a long time and nodded happily.

"Okay, if you don't go, this family will be cut off!"

There was a smirk on Zhang Jiaqiang's lips, "When you come back home, you have to be fully prepared!"

As he spoke, his hands became dishonest.

Ye Xiumei had long been used to it and asked breathlessly, "What preparations should I make? Don't we have gifts at home?"

Zhang Jiaqiang turned over and pinned her down on the bed, and said seriously, "Of course I have to have a wedding before I go home!"
