Chapter 322 Milk
Zhang Yunqi has been busy integrating the city's canning industry recently. He has had several talks with Zhao Jianqiang, director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission and chairman of Jiangchuan Holdings, to promote the implementation of Liansheng's contracting and joint operation of 46 city-owned and district-owned canning factories.

Although the initial idea of ​​this matter was proposed by Zhang Yunqi, it was beneficial to both parties, and it was also a pilot model of state-owned enterprise property rights reform that Mayor Yang Jiarong strongly advocated, so there were not many obstacles. Of course, the core clause that could be agreed upon with many canneries was that Liansheng had the priority to acquire 46 city-owned and district-owned canneries, but not the land of the old factory area.

This means that Liansheng gave up the most valuable land and was able to monopolize the canning industry in Jiangchuan City, while Jiangchuan Holdings, which was established with the authorization of the municipal government, got the land, thus advancing the goal proposed by Zhang Yunqi to Mayor Yang Jiarong to reform the state-owned enterprises in Jiangchuan City by establishing a state-owned holding company starting with a certain industry.

The best of both worlds.

Of course, the old factory area cannot be vacated just like that.

Liansheng’s requirement is that only after more than one-third of the canneries are profitable can the overall relocation and closure of some obsolete production capacity be carried out for restructuring and mergers. At the same time, the municipal government needs to re-plan a suitable new site for Liansheng. Also, because the contracting rights belong to Liansheng, after the land is vacated, Liansheng still has the right to participate in the subsequent development of the old factory area led by Jiangchuan Holdings.

The relocation of Longjing Garden is progressing at a rapid pace.

After the relocation plan was issued, the old factory was closed and the relocation of the new factory was immediately put on the agenda.

The most important thing here is of course people. When the heads of each department hold small department meetings with employees, every employee must sign and fill out a form. They are free to choose whether to go or not, and there is no force.

Finally, according to statistics, the ratio of those willing to go to the new industrial park to those not going to the industrial park is 73. Among those who do not go to the new industrial park, a small number will go to Liansheng headquarters, and the vast majority will be arranged to work in the 46 canning factories contracted and operated after they are rectified and resumed operation.

The day after the agreement was reached, Li Jilin took the list to a meeting with the directors of the 46 contracted canneries. In the following long period of time, his main task would be to overhaul the 46 canneries in accordance with Zhang Yunqi's idea, which would be a very complicated, entangled and personnel-shaking task.

At the meeting, Li Jilin announced that each cannery would be given 10 jobs in the Longjingyuan New Industrial Park. Although the number of jobs is small, the total number of jobs for the 46 factories is equivalent to 460 employees.

This incident was a completely different situation in the contracted cannery, which caused a great sensation. The number of employees who signed up to go to the new Longjingyuan Industrial Park was so large that 10 places were not enough. To put it bluntly, they were different from the employees of Longjingyuan. Some canneries could not pay their wages, and the employees had been out of food for a long time. At this time, the opportunity to join the thriving Liansheng was a great thing that they had dreamed of.

After deciding on the personnel, Liansheng held a mobilization meeting for all employees of Longjingyuan.

The next day, the old factory was closed.

In the heavy snow, the entire factory began to move and transport production equipment to the new industrial park in Yunxi Village. The old employees of Longjingyuan were particularly sad. After more than 30 years of ups and downs, this old state-owned cannery closed down and began the next stage of nirvana and rebirth.

Yang Wei finally came to school to attend classes.

The classmates were very surprised to find that his face was bruised and swollen. Wang Xiaokai leaned over and asked: "Yang Wu, did you get kissed by a sow? Tsk, it looks like a very heroic scene."

Yang Wei: “…”

During the physical education class, Yang Wei took the initiative to find Zhang Yunqi.

After the physical education teacher rubbed his hands and said dismissal, the two brothers squatted under the eaves of the teaching building, eating skewers, and did not speak for a long time. In the distance, there were laughter and joyful sounds. Wang Xiaokai and Yu Qingqing, a pair of adulterous lovers, were making a snowman on the playground.

Zhang Yunqi said to Yang Wei, "Are you free on Saturday? Let's go to Chu Jian's house and eat hot pot together?"

Yang Wei glanced at the smile on Zhang Yunqi's face, hesitated for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yunqi reached out and patted his shoulder.

The next day was Saturday.

On a snowy day, what is the most pleasant thing to do besides curling up in bed to keep warm? Of course, it is to eat hot pot over a charcoal fire.

This thing is also easy to make, just boil the bone soup and wash the ingredients and you can eat it directly. Not many people came, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Wang Xiaokai and Yang Wei. Wang Xiaokai also wanted to bring his wife Yu Qingqing along, but was unanimously and firmly opposed by everyone.

The first time I met my mother was usually at Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Noodle Shop. There were no adults at home, so after the hot pot was served, I would eat it while it was still hot.

Everyone sat at the table and drank together. They cut several pounds of beef, filling three large plates. The beef was cut into different textures and put into the steaming pot. They picked up the tender and smooth meat with chopsticks and put it into their mouths with chili sauce and white wine. It was tender, smooth, sour and refreshing.

At the table, the noisy Wang Xiaokai was always full of enthusiasm, and his buddies drank even more unscrupulously. Yang Wei's alcohol tolerance was not very good, but this time he accepted all the drinks.

Afterwards, everyone got drunk and started talking about all sorts of things, including games, the past, football, martial arts, and dreams. Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "I want to write a martial arts novel." Wang Xiaokai said, "If the Chinese team doesn't beat the Korean team, I'll be single for the rest of my life." Yang Wei took a sip of white wine and said, "I don't have as many ideas as you do now. Who knows, one day when you go shopping, you might see me setting up a barbecue stall on the side of the road."

Wang Xiaokai laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes and said, "Impotence, what the hell is this bullshit idea of ​​yours?"

Seeing that the three idiots were drunk, Zhang Yunqi called Ma Shi over and drove the three brothers back to the dormitory to rest.

Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian cleaned up together.

After finishing, he lay on the sofa and watched TV. He drank a lot of wine and felt a little dizzy. Chu Jian brought him a cup of hot milk and said, "Have a cup of hot milk."

"Thank you."

"Yang Wei...what's wrong?"

"Why do you want to know this?"

"He seems to be in a bad mood. Did he get beaten up by someone?" Chu Jian pursed his lips and said, "I keep thinking about the time I met him setting up a stall on Ximen Street."

Zhang Yunqi thought for a moment and said, "He comes from a single-parent family. His mother is an old leader of the Red Star Electronics Factory. They used to have good conditions, but something happened this year. Due to various reasons, the relevant competent departments wanted to push for the restructuring of Red Star Electronics. The situation was very chaotic. The financial seals were taken away, forcing Red Star Electronics to stop production and stop paying wages. But the employees were stubborn. Yang Wei's mother was the secretary-general of the staff representative conference and the leader. She firmly opposed the restructuring plan at the staff representative conference. However, his mother was not in good health and had uremia, a particularly expensive disease. This pushed the family into the abyss."

When I first met her, I was speechless for a long time. She looked at the heavy snow outside the window, pursed her lips, and said to herself: "Why is there so much trouble and difficulty in life?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled. Isn't this normal? He remembered hearing a saying before: life is like a gorgeous robe crawling with lice if it is artistic, and it is like looking for candy in shit if it is shitty.

Everyone seems to have a reason to hate the world.

Chu Jian added: "The college entrance exam is only half a year away, and everyone is under a lot of pressure. I feel like many of my classmates have changed, and they are not as happy as they were in their first year of high school."

Zhang Yunqi took a sip of hot milk and said, "If you think too much and want too much, you will naturally not be happy."

Chu Jian tilted his head: "So what do you want?"

This question really stumped Zhang Yunqi. When he was reborn, he only wanted money and wanted his family to live a good life without worrying about food and clothing. Now, the coins in his pocket are enough to spend, and it is still too early to get married and have children. What else can he want? Of course, he would count the money in his pocket every day, and then rush for more money with a thief's heart, while doing some spiritual civilization construction and striving to be the flower bud of the motherland. He lay on the sofa and roasted by the fire and said shamelessly: "Me? I want happiness."

Chu Jian pursed his lips: "This topic is a bit big."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be big. Happiness can also be something that shines brightly in ordinary life, something that makes people willing to endure some bitterness for a little sweetness. Of course, these things don't necessarily have to be particularly strong abilities or great ambitions."

"for example?"

"For example, it could be a bite of steamed bun, a lollipop, a fallen leaf falling on your palm, or a cup of hot milk from someone you like."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and shook the cup of hot milk before they met. Under the light of the first snow, it sparkled with a crystal luster.

When I first saw her, her little face was rosy.
