    Chapter 2 Dream sets sail

    ¡°Twenty-four years ago, when the first shovel of soil for the construction of Lianyungang was dug out, a new thing began to sprout quietly on this land. Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, this seedling might be submerged in China¡¯s ancient traditions.  But who can deny that sometimes the sprout will change a lot. //www.//

    ¡°Also twenty-four years ago, when Mr. Li Zicheng was lecturing students at Lianyun Business School, he once used one sentence to describe the ¡°future¡± in his mind.

    "What is our goal? Some people think it is the prosperous cities along the line, the factories, and the wealth that stretches along the railway! No, this is by no means all of our goals, at least this is not my dream.

    Everything we do here will not only change the industry and economy of this country, but more importantly, we will change the tradition of this nation. Here, we give equal opportunities to everyone in China, and even the world, as long as  If you work hard, you can realize your dreams.

    Maybe now, some people will doubt it, but in the future, everyone who comes here will have no doubt that no matter what background or origin, as long as they work hard and unremittingly, they can get a better life, that is,  People must achieve personal success through their own hard work, courage, creativity and determination, rather than relying on the aid of a specific social class and others.

    In the future, it is this kind of personal success that will lead to the success of a country. In the future, this will always inspire young people from all over the country to come to this land to create their own value, and the only career we need to persist in is  Just stick to this purpose of ours.

    In the past twenty-one years, countless diplomats and observers have evaluated this country's success based on their own observations. They always have this or that view. For example, a concept that has been recognized has been concretely  Point out the four major factors for China's success: having a capable public service team that can formulate forward-looking industrial policies; a fair and efficient service system; intervention methods that comply with the laws of the market economy; and having a leading agency like the Ministry of Industry and Commerce However, this  All politicians say.  There is a saying in China that China's rapid economic development and industrial expansion are not only due to China's rich natural resources and efficient government institutions, but also because everyone has the opportunity to gain wealth through their own efforts!

    Just as a few years ago, in a speech, Mr. Li Zicheng once explained this dream to the world - "The Chinese dream of letting our citizens of all classes live a better, richer and happier life, which is what we have so far  The greatest contribution ever made to the thought and welfare of the world."

    1936 "The Call of the Times" Lippmann's "Today and Tomorrow" column in the New York Herald Tribune

    Like any Longhai Railway affiliated area, a long queue has formed outside the employment agency located on 15th Street, and the queue of people appears to be very neat.

    Queuing up, everyone must learn to queue up when they come here!

    How can I say that Song Chengjie learned something in the area attached to Baoji Station? I'm afraid it's about queuing. Maybe the police seem to be very kind, but under certain circumstances, they will not hesitate to insert the rubber-coated rattan stick like a long knife into their waist.  Hitting others, such as those who are making a fuss and not lining up in a queue.

    In Baoji, Song Chengjie was beaten with a baton for not lining up. He was beaten several times. After that, the police told him that the reason for beating him was because he did not line up. It was precisely because of that experience that he became  He made up his mind to learn to read because it was written on the notice board.

    At this time, Song Chengjie, who was waiting in the queue, saw two patrol policemen walking in the distance. He quickly looked at himself. Well, he did not miss the "queue" line on the ground. In fact, it was a brick line on the sidewalk.  Queuing lines, there are always a lot of details here that people need to follow.

    Many people come here and eventually leave because they cannot adapt to this kind of life that requires attention all the time. But Song Chengjie knows that once people get used to this kind of life, they will realize  , this orderly life not only brings a new way of life, but also a more convenient life.

    ¡°One thing that everyone will learn about Longhai when they come here is that if you work hard and follow the rules, this place is truly open to you. You can achieve anything.¡±

    While waiting in line, Song Chengjie looked at the display board on the wall. Looking at the words on the display board, he was once again full of expectations for the future. At least here, you don't need to find a guarantor to find a job.  You need to join a gang, and you don't need to pay any money. Even employment agencies are free.

    In LonghaiIn the annexed areas of the first line, according to the annexed employment regulations, the formation of all labor relations must involve the intervention of employment agencies. Whether they are employment companies or workers seeking jobs, they must register with public employment agencies.  A labor relationship can only be formed after completing the procedures at a public employment agency.

    The main reason for the intervention of the affiliated area management committee is: the management agency should play an active role in adjusting the supply and demand relationship in the labor market. The intervention of the management agency can effectively prevent enterprises from discriminating in recruitment or lowering wages, and ensure that workers have equal employment.  Chance.  What's more important is that due to the continuous influx of people into Lianyun, they rarely take the initiative to register at the police station. The affiliated area controls the inflow of the population through employment agencies.

    Of course, in the view of the Management Committee and the Police Department, the existence of public service employment agencies has enabled all the affiliated areas along Longhai to avoid "work insurance" like those in Shanghai and Tianjin, both by introducing jobs to workers.  , and then the guarantors who draw commissions from the workers¡¯ wages. Those so-called guarantors are often gang members. They even indirectly control the factory¡¯s employment rights through their control over the workers, thereby forcing the company to pay ¡°labor fees.¡±

    This kind of system that affects business will naturally not be accepted by Longhai. In the early days of the establishment of the Longhai Railway, a large number of direct recruitments prevented the emergence of such "worker gangs" to a certain extent. Although such a "worker gang" was born later.  Such gangsters were naturally eliminated by the market due to mandatory labor regulations.

    After receiving the watch, signing up, and finally waiting on the chair, Song Chengjie entered the cubicle of the employment agency after another ten minutes.

    "Graduating from junior primary school - night school at Baoji Station?"

    The staff behind the desk looked up at the young man in front of them.

    "Why do you want to come here from Baoji? The wages at Baoji station are not low!"

    ¡°Well, sir, there are more opportunities here.¡±

    "Okay, junior high school student, let me see what jobs are suitable for you"

    In the next few minutes, the staff kept proposing more than a dozen kinds of jobs. Although some of the jobs sounded new, Song Chengjie had no interest in them. Finally, the staff put the information in his hands on the table and asked seriously.  road.

    "Okay, tell me, what kind of job do you want to do?"

    "I"

    Song Chengjie was stunned by what kind of job he wanted. On the way to Lianyun, he had been thinking about this issue. Why did he think that the opportunities in Baoji were not as good as here?  Not because it¡¯s a big city, but because¡­

    ¡°I want to be an apprentice in a factory, preferably one that makes machines!¡±

    "Apprentice?"

    The young man's answer only made the staff stunned. He took another look at the young man's age. He was already twenty-three years old, and he was only attending night school education at the junior primary level, if he wanted to be an apprentice.

    "Being an apprentice will take three years at the earliest, and the apprenticeship salary is only eight yuan a month! Although food and accommodation are included, at your age, you will face many other problems in the future."

    As a kind reminder, it was Song Chengjie who changed his career and shook his head.

    "Three years later, if I pass the second-level worker's examination, I can earn 28 yuan a month!"

    Although it is just a junior high school education, Song Chengjie still has his own account in his heart. He may not make much money in the first five years, but he can make a lot of money in the future.

    A very calculating person!

    The staff member took a serious look at the person and then took out a form.

    "You take the initiative first!"

    The next day, the weather was hotter than usual.  Although the weather was hot, Song Chengjie decided to go to the school to take a look. If nothing else happened, he would enter the school in two days and receive apprentice training with others. According to the introduction in the information book, apprentices need to learn in the school.  One year.  The west-slanting sun shines on the road to the **Junior Industrial Technical School, where technical buildings are lined up, and the glass windows on the houses radiate light as if they are melting.  The sky is high and clear. In this pure sky, the blazing flames from the west float over from time to time, exposing Song Chengjie's neck.  He used half of his body to bear the rays of the setting sun and walked into the woods on the left.

    At this time, the lush green branches and leaves of this forest seemed to be imbued with a layer of red left by the sunset.  Cicadas were chirping on the tall trees. Song Chengjie walked to the pool and squatted down.  The surroundings are very quiet, there is no sound of trams, this may be the characteristic of the school being very quiet, at least this is the case in Longhai schools.

    Looking around this campus, looking at the students on the playground, those people are obviously teenagers. Maybe he is the oldest student here. Will he spend the next three years in this school?

    Although he was a little confused, Song Chengjie did not hesitate, the reason why I came here is because I saw the information about the apprentice school when I was in night school. Even if there is only eight yuan a month here, it is more than what I earn at home, and in the future

    Thinking about the future, Song Chengjie was full of longing for the future.

    After he left school, perhaps because he walked too much in the afternoon and sweated too much, he felt a little thirsty. Just when he felt unbearably thirsty, he heard a voice coming from the roadside.

    "Dutch water, drink a glass of Dutch water to quench your thirst"

    Dutch water?  What is Dutch water?

    Following the sound, Song Chengjie saw a gray iron bucket placed on a wooden chair at the intersection. The three words "Dutch Water" were written on the iron bucket. The word was written in an ugly shape, and even  Not as good as his writing.

    "One copper coin and one cup, a cool sip will cool your heart"

    Finally, amidst the shouts of the hawker, Song Chengjie walked over and bought a cup for a copper plate. As soon as the hawker took the copper plate, he quickly picked up the glass and put it next to the bucket. There was something like a tap under the bucket.  The water comes out.

    "Sir, here you go! This Dutch water is a new thing that just came from abroad! Not only will it quench your thirst this summer, but it will also make you drink it from your mouth to your stomach. It will be cool and soothing!"

    The Dutch water in the cup looked a little green. As soon as the cup reached his mouth, Song Chengjie smelled the smell of "silver grass". This smell reminded him of when he was a child and his elder brother went to the river to pick some.  The juice made from mint leaves and mixed with water soaked in licorice seems to smell like this.

    "Can this thing be sold?"

    Although he felt a little regretful, he had already paid and drank it despite being extremely thirsty. When he drank the "Dutch water" for the first time, he only felt that the taste was a bit strange. The smell of silver elixir grass was too strong.  It took a while, but soon I found a kind of comfort that soothed my nose and throat, and it was very comfortable.

    While Song Chengjie drank the "Dutch Water", the man had already sold five or six cups. When others were paying, he took a look at the hawker's money box. A money box was filled with copper coins, and even the few had to be valuable.  Two or three dollars.

    Looking at the hawker's money box, and then at the "Dutch Water" that smelled of silvergrass in the cup, Song Chengjie's heart moved, and then he ran to the other side of the street, and it was only two hours before dark.  Song Chengjie saw that the man sold four iron barrels of "Dutch Water" one after another. Those four barrels of "Dutch Water" alone were worth at least two yuan, but how much did he cost?

    A thermos bucket, a chair, a few glasses On the way to the hotel where he was staying, Song Chengjie's mind was filled with Dutch water, which could earn him a few dollars a day. If

    But that is not a one-person job, and someone needs to deliver water, otherwise the business will definitely be delayed. But I am not familiar with the place here, who can I ask for help? If the third brother and the fourth brother also come out, then  ¡­Suddenly, the woman he saw on the train appeared in front of his eyes, the woman who was now living in the hotel bathroom like her.

    If it were her

    "Lingling, I, I found a job,"

    During the meal, Song Chengjie lowered his head and said to the fellow villager who also went out to find a job, saying that now, they are not strangers.

    "What kind of work?"

    ¡°I have my eye on a business, but I can¡¯t do it alone!¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Song Chengjie still felt the wariness in Lingling's eyes, and he quickly explained.

    "I don't want you to participate in this book. I will do it myself. When I make money, I will give you twenty yuan a month"

    Is there such a good thing?

    The woman looked at Song Chengjie in confusion, this stranger who could not be considered a stranger, but she finally nodded.

    "middle."
