Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 1007: Uncle Nie Retires

The next morning, Chen Changan came to Uncle Nie's office again.

"I told you there was something good going on, but you still came so late, are you planning on having a free meal at my place?

The chefs here are not as good as the chefs in your car factory."

"I wanted to come earlier, too. Something's going on at the factory. The factory regulations for TVs were revised last time.

I have done it to myself, and now they need my signature every time."

“The benefits of your car factory are already good enough. Many factories can barely pay their wages, but your car factory workers can still buy color TVs at the internal price.

I think it is right to cancel this benefit. Sometimes workers can be treated better.

For example, some bonuses, some subsidies, even meal subsidies, I can accept them.

If the workers want to buy a television, four factories can produce it, and each household can buy one at the internal price.

There is one quota every year, which is indeed too many, so someone will definitely resell it.”

Chen Changan nodded, somewhat regretting the decision he had made.

Originally, I just wanted to find an excuse to give the workers some money, but in the end these profiteers were really omnipresent.

"It has been cancelled. We will just give the workers more items during festivals in the future."

"You're right to think so. I called you over this time to inform you.

Considering the previous arms negotiations in the Middle East and this arms negotiations, the performance was outstanding.

After research and decision by your superiors, you are awarded the "May 1st Labor Medal".

In addition, according to the "Regulations on Rewards for Rationalization Suggestions and Technical Improvements", you will be given a personal cash reward of RMB 4,000 and a corresponding certificate.

There is also the "Labor Protection Science and Technology Progress Award Measures", which will issue you a first-class honorary certificate and a cash reward of 5,000 yuan.

How is it? Are you happy? It has made you a millionaire in no time."

During this period, a household with an annual income of 10,000 yuan was still very valuable and represented wealthy people.

Chen Changan has been working for so many years and has already become a millionaire.

After all, he is the head of the automobile factory and basically doesn't have to pay for meals at the factory.

Although Chen Changan seldom took medicine or saw a doctor, in the past he could go to the community hospital for treatment without spending any money. He could drive a car, and refueling and car repairs were all the factory's business.

Even the two children can go to school at the automobile factory’s children’s school free of charge.

It was just a meal for the whole family and some money spent. Even Xiujuan, who only came back a few times a year to buy clothes, bought clothes for the whole family for all four seasons.

Zhu Ling's salary is not bad, and the two of them can save nearly ten thousand yuan a year.

Besides, his entertainment company in Hong Kong is also developing very well under Xiujuan's management.

Several future divas have already been signed and are now honing their skills, waiting for Chen Changan to write songs for them.

The company distributes dividends every year, which is a large sum of money, but it is all kept in overseas accounts. Chen Changan will occasionally inform Xiujuan to let him buy various stocks.

Therefore, Chen Changan basically has no feelings towards the ten thousand yuan households.

“I am grateful for the recognition from my superiors. I will continue to work hard and will never let them down.”

"Looking at your perfunctory attitude, I know you look down on people with a millionaire's salary.

Yes, at our level, the temptation of money is not that great, and more people are still pursuing political goals.

Unless this person knows that his political career is over and he has no more political ambitions, he may have some desire for money.

"Uncle Nie, you've made the wrong choice. The so-called lack of pursuit of money is because our supplies are still relatively scarce.

I had money in my hand but didn’t know what I could buy. But with reform and opening up and the continuous development of the economy, things will be different.

Nowadays, being a millionaire makes many people envious. But in a few years, as many foreign luxury goods enter our country, there will be a variety of entertainment activities that you cannot even imagine.

As some people become rich, in order to show off their status, they would buy foreign liquor that costs ten thousand yuan a bottle without even blinking an eye.

All kinds of delicacies from land and sea, you can eat whatever you want. Do you think that a large number of leading cadres will be corrupted by this extravagant life?"

After hearing what Chen Changan said, Uncle Nie fell silent.

Uncle Nie has been abroad and is not an uninformed person.

When he was studying in his early years, he had visited many European countries, so he naturally knew that what Chen Changan said was right.

But there are many things that even Uncle Nie is powerless to do.

"I'm already so old, and I don't have many years left to live. It's up to you young people to take care of me in the future."

Uncle Nie felt a little lonely at this moment. There were only a few of his old buddies left who had fought side by side with him before.

Whether the country can move in the direction they originally envisioned is no longer something that these old guys can influence.

"The future still depends on you young people. We old guys are really going to leave the stage of history."

Then Uncle Nie’s secretary walked into the office and said to Chen Changan.

“Director Chen, Mr. Nie is old and now he only has the energy to work for three to five hours a day.

You'd better not let Mr. Nie get too excited, it's not good for his health."

Before Chen Changan could speak, Uncle Nie waved his hand and said.

"It's okay. I like chatting with Chang'an. I'm not emotional. I just miss my old friends who fought side by side with me.

Okay, Changan, take these bonuses and certificates back. Remember what I said, it will depend on you young people in the future."

A few days later, Chen Changan received shocking news: Uncle Nie was arranged to recuperate in a sanatorium due to health reasons.

Afterwards, the superior notified Chen Changan to attend a meeting to discuss the issue of department merger.

A few days ago, Chen Changan saw that Uncle Nie was in good health and could even joke with him. He didn't expect that just a few days later, Uncle Nie retired.

Although he really wanted to visit Uncle Nie, he had to go to the meeting.

When he came to the department again and stood in front of Uncle Nie's office, Chen Changan suddenly felt that things and people had changed.

Over the years, whenever he came to the department and went to see Uncle Nie, he would go straight in.

Now that Uncle Nie has left here, it will be difficult for him to come and go as he pleases in the future.

Chen Changan had been to the department's large conference room many times. Every time, there were always familiar faces in the conference room, but this time, there were many new faces.

The superior leader who presided over the meeting said immediately after seeing Chen Changan.

"Changan, come here quickly, I'll introduce you."

Chen Changan is also very familiar with this superior.

Although he was not tall, Chen Changan admired him very much. He did not expect that this leader would also come to this meeting.

"This is Director Zou. From now on, you two will be living together, so you must cooperate well."

"I am just a factory manager. I will do whatever my superiors tell me to do."
