Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Yuanchun didn't come back, she was doing research with her tutor, and couldn't get away, saying that she would come back for a few days before school started.

Yuan Xia felt more and more clearly that as the younger siblings grew older and each had their own affairs, it became more and more difficult to get together.

Judging from the current situation, maybe only myself and Xiaoqiu will stay in Yuecheng in the future.

Yuan Dong is studying electronic engineering, and will either go to the Pearl River Delta or the Yangtze River Delta in the future.

Yuanchun will definitely not return to Yuecheng to work in the future, because there is no aerospace research institute in Yuecheng.

If Chongyang takes the route of being an artist, the best place to settle is of course Beijing.

But no matter where they are scattered, Yuecheng always has their home.

When Yuan Xia bought a house, he reserved a room for each of them.I didn't buy one set for everyone because there is no elevator room at present, so I will buy it when there is an elevator room in the future.

In 1993, there was another hot word that could not be avoided, and that was "laid-off".

Laid-offs have existed since the first state-owned enterprise went bankrupt in 1986. There have been countless bankrupt, bankrupt, and reorganized state-owned and collective enterprises over the years, but the state has never given up on state-owned and collective enterprises.

However, with the deepening of reforms, private enterprises have developed better and better, and many state-owned and collective enterprises are like babies who cannot act independently and cannot do without the support of government policies.

These enterprises have gradually become a heavy burden on the country, seriously hindering the development of the economy.

By 1993, the state finally made up its mind to rectify this burden, and put forward the policy of "supporting the key points and releasing the rest".

Major industries and enterprises that are related to the national economy and the people's livelihood are given key support by the state, and resources and funds are concentrated to develop these large enterprises, while other non-key enterprises are all let them go to fend for themselves.

As a result, a large number of state-owned enterprises reorganized, rectified, transferred, and went bankrupt. Under this background, many workers bought out their seniority, or were directly put on long vacations without pay.

Laid-off is the pain of the times, countless workers lose their jobs, and families lose their security overnight.The workers who have been under the protection of the system have fallen into boundless panic and anxiety. How many of the millions of laid-off workers have the ability and courage to start all over again?

Yuan Xia is a person who has personally experienced this era, and now witnessing this era again, he still only sighs.

In August, Yuan Xia went to Beijing, first to see Yu Zhenxing, and then to the Northeast, this time he was to invite someone.

The places most affected by the state's layoff policy are obviously the three northeastern provinces, which are heavy industry bases.The Northeast is known as the eldest son of the Republic, the pride of New China, and has made great contributions to the development of the country. Now the eldest son is obviously starting to fall.

Yuan Xia still remembers that when he came last time, he was deeply impressed by the sight of the huge gears of Northeast Industry roaring and turning. In just a few years, they have already shown a weak state, which is extremely admirable.

Yuan Xia went to Harbin, instead of looking for Yuan Chun first, he went to Harbin Machinery Factory.

At the beginning, Suyang Agricultural Machinery Factory was branched out from here. It can be said that this place can be regarded as the mother factory of Suyang Agricultural Machinery Factory.

However, due to the fact that Suyang Agricultural Machinery Factory has been separated for too long, the two sides have no contact at all, and the fate is surprisingly similar. Both factories have suffered the fate of rectification and suspension of production.

The Harbin Machinery Factory is different from the Suyang Agricultural Machinery Factory. The real large-scale agricultural machinery is produced here. The large-scale cultivators and harvesters that gallop on the vast Northeast Plain are all produced from here.

The machinery factory is currently shutting down for rectification, and many workers in the factory have been laid off during this rectification.

The person Yuan Xia came to look for was Shi Yueguang, an engineer from the machinery factory. He designed the grain conveyor, and the cement pump truck produced by Xingyuan was made by him.

In his previous life, Shi Yueguang came to the door by chance through a job advertisement, but this time, Yuan Xia came to visit him in person, because he didn't advertise as frequently as before, so I don't know if Shi Yueguang will see their advertisement.

Yuan Xia entered the machinery factory, found out the address of Shi Yueguang's home, and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.It seemed that he was not at home. He was about to turn around and leave when a middle-aged woman with curly hair came up with a vegetable basket and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Yuan Xia hurriedly said: "I'm looking for a mason, isn't he at home?"

"Old Shi? He may have gone out to look for work, and he's not here during the day, so he won't be back until evening."

Yuan Xia thanked politely: "Thank you big sister, then I'll come back later. If you see him, tell him that someone is visiting him and ask him to wait for me at home."

"Okay, I'll talk to him. What's your name?"

"My surname is Yuan, and I'm from Yuecheng."

"Yuecheng? So far away!" The curly-haired woman sighed.

Yuan Xia had no choice but to go back to the hotel. He wandered around for a while. The street was full of people looking for work on their bikes. Most of them were middle-aged men. When I wrote about wiping the range hood, everyone's expressions were numb and dazed without exception.

Yuan Xia thought that if these people left here and went to the south, they might be able to find a way to survive.

But not everyone has the courage to leave the familiar place to make a living in an unfamiliar place, and the southern factory recruits young men and women, mainly in light industry, middle-aged men are not easy to find a job, plus there are old and young, It's not like you can just walk away.

In the evening, Yuan Xia reckoned that it was time for Shi Yueguang to come back, so he set out to find someone.

Yuan Xia bought some cooked food and a watermelon on the side of the road, and took it to the machinery factory.

Not long after entering the factory, I saw Shi Yueguang on the factory road. He was pushing a bicycle and talking to people.

Yuan Xia shouldn't know him at this time, so he didn't go to recognize him rashly, but just glanced at the sign hanging in front of his car. It said "maintenance" in two big characters, and there were a lot of words below it, including "electrical appliances, faucets, etc. , bicycle” and so on.

Yuan Xia couldn't help sighing, it's really a crime for a dignified engineer who graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology to be reduced to this level.

Shi Yueguang is the first college student after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and he went to Harbin Institute of Technology. When he was assigned, he was asked for his opinion whether to go to Beijing or stay in Harbin. He chose Harbin because his wife's job is in Harbin. separated.

He is really capable, but his temper is also really straightforward, especially he doesn't like flattery and offends the factory leaders.Otherwise, with his seniority, the rectification of the factory would not be his turn anyway.

Shi Yueguang returned to his home after chatting with others, and saw Yuan Xia sitting in his home, listening to his wife nagging him.

He looked at Yuan Xia in surprise. When Yuan Xia passed by him just now, he had just glanced at him, completely unaware that someone was coming to his house.

Yuan Xia stood up, but before he could speak, Shi Yueguang's wife started nagging: "Why did you come back, Xiaoyuan has been waiting for you for a long time. Sister Wang said that he came here in the morning and didn't see you. "

Shi Yueguang is an atypical Northeasterner, less than 1 meters tall, about the same height as his wife. He looked at Yuan Xia: "You are——"

Yuan Xia quickly stretched out his hand and explained his purpose: "Hi Mason! My name is Yuan Xia, and I am from Yuecheng. I am the boss of Yuecheng Xingyuan Machinery Company. I am here this time to invite you to work at our Xingyuan Machinery. "

Shi Yueguang looked at him in surprise, and even forgot to shake hands with him: "You are from Yuecheng? How do you know me?"

Yuan Xia smiled and explained: "It's a coincidence. I am from Suyang. My father used to work in Harbin Machinery Factory, and was later transferred to Suyang Agricultural Machinery Factory. I came here this time to revisit my father's old place. Then I heard that the machinery factory was being rectified, many workers were laid off, and engineers were also laid off. It happens that our factory needs engineers, so I want to ask you to help. Our factory produces construction machinery, that is, dump trucks, Excavators, cranes, cement pump trucks, etc. I don’t know if masonry is interested, this is my business card.”

Yuan Xia handed her business card to Shi Yueguang.

Shi Yueguang looked down at the business card in his hand. It had all the address and phone number. It didn't look like a fake, but Yuecheng was too strange and far away for him. He really didn't expect that one day he would have something to do with him. relation.

Yuan Xia didn't rush him, but just waited quietly.

Shi Yueguang's wife is a typical northeastern woman, refreshing, quick-talking, and hospitable. She said to Yuan Xia: "Xiao Yuan, sit down quickly and eat watermelon. Our old Shi is a stickler, let him think about it."

Yuan Xia sat down, Shi Yueguang read the business card, then sat down on the chair next to Yuan Xia, and said: "I have never done excavators and cranes."

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "I have never done it before. Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts and research together, now we have dump trucks and excavators."

Shi Yueguang looked at the young man in front of him, how old must he be? 25? 28?Is it the boss?

"May I ask, how old are you?"

Yuan Xia said: "31."

Shi Yueguang's wife smiled and said, "Then you don't look like that, I thought you were 23, you look like a student."

Yuan Xia smiled: "Maybe it doesn't look old. Our factory is a private factory. It was established in 1985, and it has been seven or eight years. However, our factory's profitability is not bad, and we can sell four to five thousand dump trucks a year. Excavation The machine has just been developed, and the output is still relatively low, but the country is now engaged in construction, and the prospect of construction machinery is very promising. I wonder if masonry is interested in joining us?"

Shi Yueguang asked again: "You said your father is an old employee of our factory?"

Yuan Xia said, "Yes, he joined the factory in 57 and went to Suyang in 65."

Next was reminiscing about the old days. Shi Yueguang's wife Liu Yuanxia had dinner at home and entertained him with the cooked food he brought.

During the meal, they drank some wine, and Shi Yueguang blushed and said: "Boss Yuan, let me tell you the truth, it's okay to go with you, anyway, my stay here is quite boring. But I want to bring a few Brothers, they are all my good friends, because they didn’t praise Chen’s stinky feet, we were all laid off, we must show ourselves to them!”

Yuan Xia nodded and agreed: "Yes, as long as the skills pass the test and the character is reliable, I will take it."

So this matter is settled like this, even though Yuan Xia hates wine table culture very much, but she also understands why businessmen love to discuss business at wine tables, drink so hot, tongue curls, and pats the head, this contract is signed like this Come down, it's too late to look back and regret it.

Of course, Yuan Xia has no regrets in agreeing to this matter, he is sober.
