Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Of course, there is no Spring Festival Gala in this era, let alone the Spring Festival Gala.

Now there is not even the name of CCTV. There is only its predecessor, Sijiucheng TV Station.

There were hardly any programmes, and very few families had televisions.

Although they were working overtime, the tasks at the car factory were not that urgent.

The tasks of a three-wheeled load-carrying motorcycle can basically be accomplished.

Regarding the jeep task, the ministry did not give the automobile factory a specific number of jeeps to produce.

Uncle Nie also knows the current number of workers in the automobile factory.

It is simply impossible to focus on the production of both tricycles and jeeps at the same time.

And with the successful development of the pickup truck, it is very likely that three products will be produced at the same time.

And once pickup trucks really become popular in third world countries as Chen Changan expected.

Needless to say, the workers are not satisfied with producing three products at the same time.

Products that can earn foreign exchange will definitely be given priority in production.

Next year will surely be a busier year for the auto industry. Take advantage of the opportunity now.

Hold an annual meeting in the factory, just like in later generations, so that the workers can have a happy New Year.

After all, we are not capitalists. Production is important, but the workers' thinking cannot lag behind.

Even if there is no program, it is good to sing patriotic songs together.

While it was still early and there was no one to take over, Chen Changan went straight to find Hou Yan.

I told Hou Yan my idea.

“You female lesbians should have more talents than male lesbians.

First contact the female comrades in the factory who have talents and are willing to perform on stage.

No matter good or bad, there are rewards. Go to the warehouse and see if there are any surplus items in our factory's logistics warehouse.

A washbasin, an enamel mug for drinking water. A towel. A notebook. A thermos. Even a hurdle vest. Or gloves.

Anyway, we will give out whatever we have. When the time comes, as long as anyone is willing to perform on stage, no matter if they are good or bad, we will give them a reward.

When Hou Yan heard about the reward, her eyes lit up.

"Then if I go on stage and sing a song, will I get a reward as well?"

"Of course, there are no leaders or cadres at our welcome party.

The purpose of giving out prizes is to encourage everyone to perform on stage.

There is no need to worry about singing or performing badly, as we are not professionals like those in the art troupe.

The singing and acting were not good, and the workers in the audience just watched and laughed.

There is no competition whatsoever, and no one will look down on you just because you don’t perform well.

It’s just for fun.”

"Okay, I'll sign up then."

“Don’t ask me to sign up, I’ll leave this matter to you.

Please sign up for yourself, and the publicity department will announce it on the loudspeaker as soon as it starts working.

Especially for those single young people, tell them that this is a good opportunity to show themselves.

It doesn't matter if you're tone-deaf. It's ok to just recite a poem, right?

You can't even recite a poem? We're all from Beijing, so you can tell a crosstalk, right?

You don't know how to perform crosstalk? You can at least tell a jingle, right?

I just don’t believe that there aren’t many such talents in our company with 10,000 employees.”

Hou Yan also agreed with Chen Changan's words. After all, it was a large factory with tens of thousands of people. Wouldn't it be easy to find a few talented people?

"You are the only one who has a lot of creative ideas. I think this event is great. We can hold it every year in the future."

Chen Changan sighed and said.

“It’s not easy to do it every year.”

What Chen Changan was thinking about was not the heavy tasks next year.

Once this wind starts blowing, it will be extremely difficult to carry out the work.

Hou Yan believes that the factory will face even heavier tasks next year.

In addition, the factory will have to recruit tens of thousands of new workers after the New Year, so you can imagine how difficult it is.

Not long after Chen Changan returned to the office, he heard the broadcast starting from the loudspeaker.

In this era, there are very few entertainment activities for the people.

Even if it was just a movie, there would be huge crowds of people.

Not to mention this novel welcome party. Even if there is no talent.

I don't plan on performing on stage, but just watching the fun is fine.

Not to mention that as long as you perform on stage, you will get rewards.

Don’t underestimate a washbasin or something like that, it’s a very valuable item.

Now is the age of bills, and even a washbasin requires an industrial bill.

Now, as long as you dare to perform on stage, you will be rewarded with a washbasin.

As soon as this broadcast came out, the door of the Propaganda Department was almost trampled down.

Looking at the crowded scene, Hou Yan immediately regretted her decision.

With so many people signed up, there won’t be enough time for all of them to go on stage at the party.

Knowing this, I shouldn’t have talked about performing on stage.

It would be enough to contact some familiar people privately.

Seeing more and more people coming, Hou Yan had no choice but to pick up the loudspeaker and shout.

“Since there are too many workers who have signed up, I hope everyone can maintain order first.

Secondly, the party is time-limited after all. And there are too many workers who signed up.

Workers who have talents can give a simple performance in the Propaganda Department now.

There really is nothing to perform, so I suggest you don't go on stage and make a fool of yourself.

Thank you all for your understanding and support.”

Most of the people working in the automobile factory come from the military or rural areas.

It’s better in the army, at least they can sing.

People who come from rural areas really don’t know anything.

Of course, there are some gifted people who can sing and farm at the same time, but they are a minority after all.

The vast majority of people signed up on impulse after hearing about the prizes.

Only then did I remember that I really had no talents.

It would definitely be a joke if I went up there, so after thinking about it I finally withdrew from the team.

As the night shift workers got off work, the news that the car factory was going to hold a welcome party spread throughout the city in an instant.

Li Huaide is really well-informed.

Not long after that, Li Huaide called.

"Brother, I heard that your factory is going to hold a welcome party tonight?

Do you think we should also hold a party like this at our steel mill?"

"Your steel mill is closed for the holiday, why are you holding a party? Can you call people back at such short notice?"

“Yes, then how about letting our factory workers go to your place as well?

Would you like to join your party?"

"Director Li, what's wrong with you? Don't you know the grudges between the workers on both sides?

You want this party to become a memorial service, right?"

"Then I can also participate, right?"

"You don't want to go to your father-in-law's place during the New Year, but come to our car factory to watch the party? Are you crazy?"

"Brother, to be honest, I just don't want to go to my father-in-law's place.

This is just an excuse. I didn't do a good job this year.

If I go, I will definitely be criticized by my father-in-law. So, I just go out and hide away."
