Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

Chapter 23



Ye Xiumei pushed him away shyly, pretending to be angry and said, "The day's plan lies in the morning. Go get down to business. Be careful on the road!"

I'm quite busy today. I have to go to the hardware factory to pick up accessories in the morning, and I have to move in the afternoon.

Zhang Jiaqiang then gave up and went out to the reception room to page the driver Guo Yonggang whom he met yesterday.

Then I bought two beef biscuits and sat in the reception room chatting with the old man and waiting for the call.

Before I finished one sesame seed cake, the phone rang.

When I picked up the phone, it turned out to be the pager Guo Yonggang had answered.

Zhang Jiaqiang came straight to the point and said that he would rent a car for a day. He would be in the city in the morning and help move and haul things in the afternoon.

Business came to his door early in the morning. Guo Yonggang was so happy that he told him that the car would arrive soon.

As soon as Zhang Jiaqiang finished eating two sesame seed cakes, the yellow noodle one arrived at the door of the dormitory.

"Ha, the early bird catches the worm!" Guo Yonggang opened the car door and smiled.

"I didn't eat worms, I just ate sesame cakes!" Zhang Jiaqiang smacked his lips and got into the car, "Pick someone up and go to the hardware factory."

The car picked up the master Wang Aiguo on the way, and then went straight to the hardware factory.

The lighter accessories have been processed and filled with a full cart.

After paying more than 2 yuan in fees, I still have [-] yuan left.

On the way back, I bought another pager, which cost more than 1000 including the Internet access fee.

If I go get the mold tomorrow, it will cost me several thousand yuan.

Although Xiao Chuer said that he would help with the payment, it would be outrageous not to give him the money.

Zhang Jiaqiang feels that the funds in his hands are already somewhat stretched.

The laid-off compensation plus back wages and the 1 yuan given by Factory Director Yin amounted to a total of 3 yuan in start-up capital.

I originally thought that this money would be able to cope with the early stage, but now it seems that it is not enough. I have to find a way to get some more money to prepare for emergencies.

But where to get it?This is a difficult question!

Loans are too slow. Waiting for the money to come out, the cucumbers and vegetables will be cold.

Ask someone to borrow it. No one has a lot of money these days, and even if they do, it is difficult to borrow it.

Knock on Director Yin again?I'm afraid it's not easy!

While I was thinking about it, the car arrived at the gate of the factory.

Wang Aiguo went to greet people and sent the accessories back to the workshop first.

Zhang Jiaqiang asked Wang Aiguo to arrange for people to look at these things. The molds will be in place tomorrow and construction will officially start.

Then I took my car and went straight to the dormitory, trying to move home in the morning.

On the way, Guo Yonggang started chatting and asked, "Brother, you can command so many people, aren't you the director of the factory?"

Zhang Jiaqiang was thinking about how to arrange the furniture and said casually, "Brother, have you ever seen a factory director like me?"

Guo Yonggang smiled and said, "People cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. I think even if you are not the factory director now, you will definitely be in the future!"

Zhang Jiaqiang turned his head and said, "To be honest, I just contracted a production line. I'm just a small self-employed person. I'm not even a workshop director!"

Since the 80s, the word contracting is not new. The possibility of contracting a production line also surprised Guo Yonggang.

His face was full of envy, "Okay, I really didn't realize that only those who have the ability can contract the workshop. I can only work as a coachman to support my family!"

Zhang Jiaqiang's mind was full of moving and making money, and he made a few casual remarks.

Suddenly I heard Guo Yonggang say, "Brother Zhang, you usually use a lot of cars. When the factory is busy, you will definitely use more. Why don't you deserve a driver?"

Zhang Jiaqiang said casually, "Hey, there is no suitable candidate for the time being!"

Guo Yonggang's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother, no boss, do you think I can do it?"

In fact, Zhang Jiaqiang had long planned to buy a second-hand car, and he also had a suitable driver, Ye Xiucheng, the brother of his brother-in-law Ye Xiumei.

Ye Xiucheng first opened a large-scale cargo operation in a transportation company, but felt that it was not profitable, so he took out his savings for many years and asked his parents to help borrow money to buy a new car for transportation.

But after only a few days of running, he accidentally got into an accident. The vehicle was seriously damaged and has not been repaired. He himself has been idle at home for more than three months.

After this blow, the whole person seemed to be disabled, and it was difficult to recover in a short period of time.

So Zhang Jiaqiang planned to let him help drive, hoping that this would help him get out of the haze as soon as possible.

But currently Zhang Jiaqiang has never even been to Ye Xiumei's natal family, and his father-in-law's family hates him to the core because of Ye Xiumei's incident, so there must be a suitable opportunity to break the ice.

Vehicles are indeed urgently needed at the moment. Zhang Jiaqiang was a little moved when he heard Lao Guo's words.

He immediately said tentatively, "Brother Guo, you look like a master at first glance, but my small temple may not be able to support a great master like you!"

Guo Yonggang noticed Zhang Jiaqiang's concerns and immediately smiled.

"Don't forget that I drive a taxi, but in fact, after deducting gas money, vehicle depreciation, and various expenses, I can't make more than three melons and two dates in a day!"

"As long as you pay me for expenses, gas, and a monthly salary of 800 yuan, what about me and the car being yours?"

Zhang Jiaqiang almost laughed out loud. Bringing a car to apply for a job is not uncommon in the 21st century. This old Guo is quite forward-thinking!

600 yuan per month is equal to salary plus car rental fee, which is only more than 20 yuan per day.

Even including gas and expenses, the monthly cost is no more than [-], which is a great deal!

The worst that can happen is that after the uncle is dealt with, Lao Guo can continue to drive a taxi!

Zhang Jiaqiang said seriously, "To tell you the truth, I already have a suitable candidate, and I plan to buy a second-hand car myself, but it hasn't been delivered yet, so even if we cooperate, it can only be temporary. I will use you for a month." ,Okay?"

Guo Yonggang pondered for a moment, then patted the steering wheel and said, "Okay, I'll work for you for a month first, and then we'll talk about you finding someone!"

"It's a deal!"

"happy!"

The car was parked downstairs, and Zhang Jiaqiang hurried back home. How could the head of the family be missing when he was about to move?

As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, she saw Ye Xiumei wearing work clothes and carrying a big baggage, bending down to lock the door.

The bangs on her forehead were wet with sweat, and her pretty face was stained with dust. Even those who said she was a refugee would believe her.

The distressed Zhang Jiaqiang hurriedly stepped forward to take over the baggage, "Honey, are you planning to flee, or are you going back to your parents' home?"

Ye Xiumei turned around and pinched him hard, and said angrily, "You're talking nonsense. We've already moved the house, and all the valuables are in the baggage. Let's go to our new home!"

There is strength in numbers. In the morning, Guo Xiaonian and Zhao Xiaoyong called in dozens of young laid-off workers. After cleaning, they moved all the Zhang family's belongings to the new house in a matter of seconds.

"What about them?"

"We've all gone home after moving. I want to keep them for dinner, but we can't entertain them at our house!"

The young couple talked and walked downstairs, where they saw Guo Yonggang packing the car and preparing to help move.

Although the move had been completed, Zhang Jiaqiang still settled the bill for him based on one day's fare, which made Lao Guo very embarrassed and kept saying that it was only half a day's fare!

"Masters, don't waste time just for a few bucks. If you come here early tomorrow, you will officially start work!"

Only then did Lao Guo accept the money and promised that he would not delay his business tomorrow.

Ye Xiumei suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "Hey, look at that child..."
