I Had a Home In 1982

   Chapter 118 117. Huanghuali Wood Alarm Clock (6.5K)

  The office of the warehouse is in the front area of ​​the warehouse, and there are slogans everywhere:

  'Resolutely follow the road of political team building'

  'Honorable service, shameful indifference to others'

  'Resolutely follow the Party Central Committee on the long march of reform, do not complain or fall behind'

  'Comrades must fully understand the heavy responsibilities they bear, the construction of the motherland needs us, and the work of the people needs us'...

   There are also slogans that are very cool - 'Arson and robbing warehouses can be killed on the spot! ! ! ’

  The people inside and outside the office were busy. Wang Yi found a man in a Chinese tunic suit and politely handed a cigarette: "Hello leader, I was introduced by Manager Xu of FH County, and I want to find Director Lu."

The    man took the cigarette and said, "Looking for Director Lu for a relationship? Don't blame me for not reminding you. Our Director Lu is an old comrade who returned from the army. He has excellent ideas and qualities. It's easy to be scolded for seeking a relationship with him."

  Wang Yi was stunned.

   is here, so I can only bite the bullet.

   However, I still have a pack of unopened Chinese cigarettes on my body, which may be used to open the way-do whatever I want, veterans of this era love to smoke.

   Director Lu, whose full name is Lu Dayi, is a big bearded man.

   His work style is as rough as his appearance, and it can be seen that he acts vigorously.

   When Wang Yi went, he was holding a meeting of his subordinates. He was waving his fist like a hammer, and the foam was flying like a water gun in his mouth.

   After a few minutes, the meeting was over. A staff member introduced Wang Yi to the room. At the same time, a man in black leather shoes was waiting to rent the warehouse. This man rushed in front of them and entered the door.

Lu Dayi obviously knew the man in black leather shoes, and shook his head directly: "What are you doing here? I told you that your unit is not qualified enough, at most I can rent a Class C library for you, and you don't want to think about the Class A library. think."

   Black leather shoes put a net bag on the table with a flattering smile: "Help me, Chief, our unit is in the fresh food business, and the requirements for ventilation and traffic are high, so Class C warehouses are really not good."

   "Help me out, take your time, you see I have a little gift here..."

   "A small gift for me?" Lu Dayi squinted at him.

   Black leather shoes smiled: "Yes yes yes..."

"You stinky critic!" Lu Dayi grabbed the net bag and threw it on the ground, "Who the **** do you think I am? Corrupt officials in the old society? You think I am a bear who can use the collective interests to benefit himself. people?"

  Wang Yi quickly stuffed the cigarette he took out into his pants pocket.

  The black leather shoes are full of grievances: "Don't be angry, chief, I am not seeking benefits for myself, but also for the unit..."

   "Let's go." Lu Dayi turned to look at Wang Yi.

   Bad eyesight.

   The staff around Wang Yi introduced him to him, but Lu Dayi immediately changed his expression and shook hands with him actively: "Are you the college student teacher from Tianya Island that Lao Xu said?"

  Wang Yi put his hands on his hands: "Hello leader, it's an honor to meet you, yes I..."

"What an honor, what an honor, Lao Xu said that you are a bright and cheerful person, what are you doing here with me hanging a book bag?" Lu Dayi interrupted him with a laugh, "We are all comrades, talk about your needs , I'll arrange a warehouse for you."

   The tunic suit that brought Wang Yi said curiously: "Director, what's the origin of this little comrade? Don't you hate someone to have a relationship with you the most?"

  Lu Dayi said: "You know a hammer. What I hate is that those who seek for their own interests come to me to have a relationship. This little comrade is different."

   "He is a college student, but he is willing to give up his treatment in the capital and return to the backward rural areas of the outer islands to engage in education. You don't look at him with a fair complexion, but he is a good man. He runs the school all by himself!"

   "He not only started the school by himself, but also tried every means to pull their production team to improve and develop. Lao Xu is full of praise for him!"

  Wang Yi quickly said: "You are wrong, leader, I just do what I can do."

   "Don't be too modest, the great man said that excessive modesty is also arrogance, so what, you need a warehouse, right? I'll give you a Grade A warehouse, come and choose a location." Lu Dayi said.

  The warehouses managed by the warehouse are divided into three grades, A, B and C, according to their spaciousness, convenient transportation, and the degree of old and new. Grade A is the highest level and has the best conditions.

  The most convenient transportation and the most people.

   And what Wang Yi needs is a remote corner, try not to pay attention to him.

So he said sternly: "Director Lu, I can't ask for a Class-A warehouse. First, the utilization rate of our production team's warehouse is relatively low, and secondly, our production team is not qualified to use a Class-A warehouse. For various considerations - especially It is considered from the perspective of saving resources for the country, we can use the Class C warehouse."

   He knew too well the style of work of an old comrade like Lu Dayi, and also knew too well where their G-spot was.

  It is the so-called scratching the dog's neck, licking the cat and licking the stomach, you must do what you like when dealing with people.

   Sure enough.

  Lu Dayi pointed his finger at him and said to the Zhongshan suit next to him: "Lao Xu said that he is very enlightened, that's right, it's the first time I've encountered a Class A warehouse and wanted a Class C warehouse instead of it!"

He asked Wang Yi again: "Do you know about the Class C warehouses? Those were the first batch of warehouses built in 1958. They are already aging, and even the roof leaks. The location is not convenient. There are many, many insects, and high humidity, it is not easy to use."

   Wang Yi said: "It's enough for our production team!"

The black leather shoes next to him lit up, he pulled Wang Yi and whispered: "College students, please help, you don't need the Class A library, we will use it, you can do it, our unit needs the Class A library now, let's change it. Is the warehouse okay?"

  Wang Yi didn't want to go ahead with Lu Dayi.

   He looked at Lu Dayi in embarrassment, his original intention was to let Lu Dayi drive this man away.

But Lu Dayi seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, shook his head and said, "You young people are kind-hearted, but that's what makes you cute. Come on, Section Chief Sun, you're lucky today, I'll rent A-089 to your unit. , don't make trouble for other people's youth."

  Senior Sun was elated, nodded and bowed: "Thank you, chief thank you."

  Lu Dayi pointed at Wang Yi and said, "You should thank him for giving up a Class A library voluntarily..."

   "Thank you too, thank you comrade college students, you are really enlightened and have a good style." Section Chief Sun quickly changed his words.

  A large blueprint hangs on the wall of Lu Dayi’s office. This is the floor plan of the entire warehouse. Each warehouse has the information of the lessor, which is written on a note, which is attached to the warehouse location on the floor plan.

   If the information of one party needs to be changed, the note has to be scraped off and replaced with a new note.

  In order to avoid scratching the drawing, you naturally need to be careful during the operation, which is a waste of time and energy.

Wang Yi was very puzzled when he saw it, and said: "Director Lu, why does your unit use this kind of drawing to mark the warehouse lease information? You can paint the floor plan on a large iron plate, prepare some magnets, and stick them on the magnets. A note, just stick the magnet to the iron plate."

   "Look, once you use iron plates and magnets, it's easy to operate. Which warehouse information needs to be changed, just take off the magnet and put new paper on it."

   "A similar method can be used for those of you who are responsible for managing which warehouses, so that you don't need to smear and rectify. Whoever wants to manage which area will put a magnet with his name on your work board."

  Lu Dayi blinked and said, "Good idea."

   He imagined and waved his hand: "If you use iron plates and magnets, sometimes some warehouses change tenants, so you only need to exchange a few magnets with each other."

The staff next to    was excited: "Yes, yes, it should be done like this, so that our workload will be much less."

  Lu Dayi patted Wang Yi's shoulder in admiration and said, "Lao Xu said that you are a flexible person. That's right. A literate person is different from a rough man like me."

  Wang Yi immediately said that he did not dare.

   He wasn't being modest this time, as their unit's quest cards used to be something like this.

   In the end, he rented the warehouse No. B-110.

The rental fee and management fee for a Grade C warehouse are cheap. In total, it only costs 25 yuan a month. Grade A is much more expensive. Grade A has grades. The most expensive monthly rental fee is more than 200 yuan. cold storage.

  Wang Yi took the key and went out.

   After finding B-110, he looked up at the blue-white number plate on the iron gate, and nodded in satisfaction.

  This location is good, quite remote, and usually no one pays attention to this location.

   He went to the communication room of the warehouse management office to pay for a phone call and called the post and telecommunications office. Today Zhang Youxin is on duty, and he is waiting for Wang Yi to call——

   The two sides had agreed before that Wang Yi would buy grain from Shanghai on weekends and would use their unit's motor boat to pull the grain.

   In addition, he asked Zhang Youxin to find a man named Zhao Laobian from the county dock, and dragged his donkey cart directly, and used the donkey cart to transport food from the warehouse to the ship.

   He hung up the phone and was about to go back, when a person suddenly appeared to stop him: "Comrade college student, haha, you went so fast just now, I won't be able to find you as soon as I go out after completing the formalities!"

   This person is Section Chief Sun who just changed warehouses with him.

   Wang Yi asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Section Chief Sun extended his hand enthusiastically: "My name is Sun Qingong, and I am the Section Chief of the Foreign Affairs Department of Jiangnan Marine Food Company. Thank you very much today. You have helped our company a lot. Without you, we can only use the Class C library. ."

  Wang Yi shook hands with him and couldn't help asking: "Hello, Section Chief Sun, you rent a warehouse for your company, why can't you rent a Grade A warehouse?"

  Sun Qingong said embarrassedly: "Our company, our unit, hehe, is not a national enterprise, hehe, a few of our friends established a unit."

   "Private enterprise?" Wang Yi asked.

   In fact, there is no such thing as a private enterprise yet. Sun Qingong did not understand the meaning of the word and explained further: "We are self-employed."

  Wang Yi said: "I understand, but the state is now encouraging economic development, and self-employed individuals should also be respected. Oh, I see, the qualifications of self-employed individuals are indeed inferior to state units."

Sun Qingong said: "Not only this, but also because there are ten people in our unit. Director Lu is still an old-fashioned idea, saying that seven and eight are the iron boundary of the economy. We are more than eight people because we want to engage in capitalism, so He doesn't want to see me."

   Now Wang Yi understands.

   Seven down eight up, this is a word that has not been heard since the 1990s.

  It is a statement from Marx's "Das Kapital", "The number of hired workers to eight is not an ordinary individual economy, but capitalism and exploitation."

  Wang Yi asked: "If you are ten people, you can't really say that you are self-employed. It should be said that you are a private enterprise, but can a private enterprise now run a business? This requires a business license."

"Yes, we have a business license, we are a legal unit. And now of course you can run a business by yourself. At the end of last year, a man named Nian Guangjiu in Wuhu, Huizhou set up a business, and he also rented land in the suburbs and built his own factory. , built a factory called the Fool Seed Factory." Sun Qingong explained.

He continued to complain: "The Fool Seed Factory employs more than us, but people in Huizhou do not say that he is engaged in capitalism. Besides, there was an article in the People's Daily last May called "A Case Concerning the Contracting of Fish Ponds". The controversy", it said that hired labor is not exploitative!"

   "We Wengzhou is too backward, not only the economy is backward, but also the thinking and vision of being an official are backward..."

When he saw a staff member coming, he quickly closed his mouth and stuffed the net bag in his hand to Wang Yi: "Comrade college student, I didn't bring anything good this time, here is a small gift for you, thank you for your help just now. , no respect, no respect."

  Wang Yi didn't have time to refuse, he raised his leg and ran.

   These days, private business owners have a natural fear of facing the public.

  Wang Yi returned to the warehouse with his net bag. He closed the door and secretly looked out, and found that no one was paying attention to his warehouse, so he opened the door of time and space with confidence.

   Then start to carry food out.

   He has a chassis trailer to haul the grain, but it is still quite hard work, and it is also hard work to move the bags of grain up and down.

   But if you think of it as a workout, you'll be fine.

  Wang Yiqian was so excited that he went out to take a peek after a while, worried that someone would suddenly push the door open and come in.

   At lunch time, Zhang Youxin arrived by boat.

   There was a donkey lying on the boat, and Zhao Laobian squatted on the bow smoking a pot.

  Wang Yi joined them to prepare for work.

   Zhang Youxin asked: "What about the people in your production team? Why didn't you see them?"

  Wang Yi said casually: "They didn't come, isn't this using your boat? Why did you see them?"

   Zhang Youxin laughed dryly and said, "Are you going to, yourself, unload the food?"

   He glanced at Zhao Laobian.

  This old man can drive a car, but he limps when he walks. The heavy work of carrying food is definitely not to be expected.

So he hurriedly gave Wang Yi a vaccination: "cough, I'm afraid I can't help you here, this time I come to Wengzhou, I have to go to my relatives, really, I'm not lazy, you see I even have gifts It's all ready."

  He took out a leather bag from the cockpit of the motor boat, as for what the **** was in it.

  Wang Yi waved his hand to let him do his own thing, and then he waited for Zhao Laobian to drive the donkey to the dock and push the cart up, and the two went to the warehouse.

  The grain bag was carried by him again and again into the car and onto the boat.

   I'm more tired this time.

   The main reason is that the boat is a little far from the dock, so he has to step on the pedals with the grain bags on his back.

   He was really tired and dumbfounded today.

   He had to eat two packs of chocolate for energy, mainly because he was worried that he was too tired and had rhabdomyolysis!

  Because there is a reasonable excuse this time, Wang Yi brought back a lot of food. There are 120 bags of corn alone, and all together there are nearly 300 bags!

   The working people these days are simple and honest. When a stevedore saw him carrying the grain by himself, he called his fellow workers to help him.

  Wang Yi was so moved that one person stuffed a pack of cigarettes and a bag of dry noodles.

  The stevedores were overjoyed, and introduced themselves to Wang Yi one by one, saying that there would be such rough work in the future.

  Whether it's cigarettes or dry noodles, it's a good thing, and laborers like it the most.

   After they finished, Zhang Youxin also came back.

   Zhao Laobian pouted at him: "Postman Zhang, have you been watching us work from where the cat is?"

   Zhang Youxin blushed.

He took a big bag, opened it and showed it to the two of them: "Look at what you said, who am I? You see, I really went to my relative's house. My relatives learned that I am now in charge of our outer islands. The express delivery business of the production team, give me a set of clocks to wake me up."

   His bag is indeed some clocks, very beautiful clocks.

   In terms of appearance, they should be a set, a total of six pieces, all of which are weapon shapes with wooden shells and glass covers, namely cannons, tanks, planes, battleships, submarines, and helicopters.

   Zhao Laobian said: "Your relatives are very stingy, and gave you a set of old clocks to support you in your work?"

   On the whole, the watch is fully functional and well preserved, but the traces of the years can indeed be seen. Its wooden shell is purple-red, and it may have a bit of pulp due to frequent wiping.

   Zhang Youxin said with a smile: "This set of clocks is quite precious. It was made by the Shanghai Far East Watch Factory for military leaders. Hehe, my relatives used to be treasures."

Wang Yi picked up a clock and stroked it. He turned it over and over, looked at the purple-red wooden case and asked, "Is this watch made for military leaders? True or false, it looks really good, what kind of wood is it? Is it red sandalwood?"

   This compliment is sincere.

   There are wood patterns on the wooden shell, which are really beautiful, like cloud patterns.

   Zhang Youxin said: "It's not red sandalwood, it's huanghuali wood!"

   Wang Yi was taken aback.

   Huanghuali wood!

   Qiongzhou Huanghuali wood, he has not seen this wood with his own eyes, but he has heard of the preciousness of this stuff.

  If this set of clocks is made of huanghuali wood, then they are indeed very valuable.

   In this way, he couldn't put it down and asked, "This is huanghuali wood? It's so beautiful. I have never seen furniture made of huanghuali wood."

   Zhang Youxin obeyed his words and asked, "Do you like it?"

  Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, who doesn't like such a beautiful clock?"

   Zhang Youxin asked again: "Mr. Wang, I remember you didn't have a clock in school? You must be a teacher and you need to keep track of the time. Let me tell you, these clocks are not ordinary clocks, they are alarm clocks!"

  Wang Yi said: "Yes, I don't have a clock yet, what do you mean?"

   He was a little surprised.

   Listening to the other party's meaning is like planning to give this set of clocks to yourself, is there such a good thing?

Then Zhang Youxin said, "How about a deal? You see I bought a set of jeans from you last time, hehe, didn't I take credit? Hey, just in case you need a clock, I'll give you a general clock. Pay off, how about it?"

  Wang Yi rolled his eyes.

  Yes, there is really nothing like that.

   But it's a good deal.

He doesn't know the value of this alarm clock, but after all, it is made of huanghuali wood. Any one of them is definitely worth more than a set of denim clothes. At this time, it is used as furniture for leaders, so it should be worth more than 60 piece.

In short, he really wants this set of clocks, but if he can't get all of them, he can get one. In this way, the deal Zhang Youxin proposed belongs to him. He is dozing off and someone brings a pillow. He is dreaming of getting married and opens his eyes. ', of course, he was immediately sexual.

   So he said happily: "Okay, then I'll change my jeans for an alarm clock."

   He didn't pretend to say how precious his jeans are and then lower the price of the alarm clock, there's no need for that.

   The appearance of this alarm clock shows that it is not a bargain. Zhang Youxin also knows this, so he said that he used one alarm clock to offset the bill instead of using a whole set.

  Wang Yi agreed, Zhang Youxin grinned happily.

   All his money was used to buy wine and food, and he was really nervous. How could he pay Wang Yi's 60 yuan for clothes?

   Zhao Laobian asked suspiciously: "Isn't this a gift from your relatives who supported you in your work? You just exchange things with others?"

   Zhang Youxin hesitated for a moment.

  Wang Yi became vigilant: "Old Zhang, isn't this alarm clock coming from the wrong way?"

Zhang Youxin was annoyed when he heard this: "Mr. Wang, who do you think of me? This alarm clock was really given to me by my relatives, but it wasn't to support me in my work, I asked him for it. I can't always manage the time, so I asked him for this clock!"

   Having said that, he smirked again: "Actually, this is also considered to support my work, right?"

  There is no problem with the way of the alarm clock. Wang Yi picked out a submarine-shaped alarm clock.

  The food has been moved, Zhang Youxin started the boat and drove back.

   This time it was faster.

   They first went back to the county dock to put down Zhao Laobian and his donkey. Wang Yi gave him two yuan for wages, but Zhao Laobian refused to accept it, saying that he was helping the Wang family production team as a matter of course.

  Wang Yi insisted on giving money, but Zhao Laobian refused to give it, and was very stubborn.

   Wang Yi had no choice but to see that Zhao Laobian liked to smoke, so he stuffed a pack of Chinese cigarettes into the old man.

   He took away the aluminum foil inside the cigarette case, and no one could find out the origin of this pack of cigarettes.

   Zhao Laobian has a special love for cigarettes. He embarrassedly accepted the pack and said, "With a filter, this pack is probably more than two dollars. I'll take advantage of it."

  Wang Yi smiled and said, "I didn't take advantage of it. These cigarettes were given to me by my classmates. I don't smoke in private. I'll give them to you if you like them."

   Zhang Youxin returned to Tianya Island with an engine.

  He helped Wang Yi a lot, so Wang Yi also took out a pack of cigarettes to give him.

   In the end, Zhang Youxin firmly refused: "I don't smoke, I smoke and cough, I like to drink, drink small wine, eat roasted meat, hey, it's so comfortable to lie on the bed drunk!"

  Wang Yi has two bottles of liquor in Tingtao Curie, which are the Luzhou puree that was given by Luzhou Laojiao last time.

   He wanted to give Zhang Youxin a gift of thanks.

   But after a little thought, he gave up the idea.

   The packaging of Luzhou puree is very beautiful. This is also the general routine of some big brands of low-end wines. In fact, the wine quality is not very good at all.

  This letter is an old alcoholic. Those two bottles of wine will definitely not fool him. People will know that this wine is not good at the first taste.

   He had no choice but to give up this idea first, and was going to go back and buy two bottles of good wine as a gift.

  People treat him as a friend, he can't just think about taking advantage of it and win a win-win situation!

   is that sometimes he wins twice, but it's a win-win.

   The motor boat was approaching Tianya Island. It was quite lively near the pier, and several men were pulling up a concrete pole.

  Wang Yi took a closer look, this is a telephone pole!

   The people working on the pier saw his appearance clearly, Wang Dongfang waved his hand happily: "Look, Mr. Wang, what are we doing on the island?"

   Wang Yi said, "Are you pulling the wire?"

   Without waiting for Wang Dongfang to speak, he boldly smiled and said: "Yes, yesterday, the Electric Power Bureau delivered the telephone poles, our village can finally be powered on, and our village is officially powered on!"
