Although Zheng Juan was recognized by Li Suhua, Li Suhua never thought of making Zheng Juan her daughter-in-law.

The reason is very simple. As a widow with two children, no one has such an idea.

Chen Can was also worried that if things continued like this, he would be self-defeating, so he played a clever trick. After a drinking session, he acted like a drunkard and deliberately molested Zheng Juan. This incident also deliberately made Li Suhua get caught.

Li Suhua was so angry on the spot that she slapped Chen Can's butt several times!

In this era, a woman's reputation is very precious. Li Suhua finally gritted her teeth. She couldn't be bullied just seeing this girl, and she couldn't ruin her own son.

So Li Suhua changed her mind and thought of a way to reconcile the two of them.

Chen Can secretly rejoiced that he obeyed his mother's wishes and successfully came together with Zheng Juan.

Chen Can couldn't do anything about this, because Zheng Juan was already two months pregnant at the time, and if he didn't hurry up, the secret would be revealed!

Chen Can is now on the same front as his mother, and the two are discussing how to deal with his father Zhou Zhigang's situation.

For this reason, Chen Can is not worried at all about not being able to pass his father's test. Now that he has cooked the rice, his mother is also standing by him. No matter how much Zhou Zhigang objects, it will be ineffective!

At this gathering, it can be said that some people are happy and some are sad. Whether they are happy or sad, everyone needs a channel to vent.

As a result, everyone got very drunk during the wine. Among them, Cao Debao and Sun Qunchao, who were the most depressed, drank the most, and both of them drank themselves to death.

Sun Qian was distressed. Originally, among the Six Little Gentlemen, Tang Xiangyang, Lu Chuan, Zhou Bingkun, Cao Debao, and he all worked in the soy sauce factory. Now three of the five have left the soy sauce factory.

He and Cao Debao were the only ones left. This wasn't the most distressing thing. Just last month, the soy sauce factory's wages were actually late!

The reason is very simple, the effect is not good!

Not only the soy sauce factory, but also all state-owned factories in the city, large and small, have been in decline in recent years. There has not yet been a concentrated outbreak, but it is a fact that the results are not good!

If we wait a few years, due to a series of impacts such as triangular debt, competition from outside township and village enterprises from the south, and the return of educated youth to the city, all these large state-owned factories in the Northeast will reach a dead end.

Fortunately, it's not ten years from now. Even if wages can't be paid, everyone hasn't been laid off yet, so just hang in there!

On the contrary, Xiao Guoqing, who was the worst before, has been working with Chen Can for more than half a year, and now his life is quite comfortable.

Xiao Guoqing now has a fixed salary of fifty yuan a month. In addition, he gets a lot of food and drinks from Chen Can every month, and the family also gets a lot of money from him. Chen Can is also not short of food.

Xiao Guoqing is a stupid person. He has been with Chen Can for more than half a year, but he can't learn anything technically. The only advantage is that he is honest and an obedient employee!

Chen Can does not plan to stop his job of repairing electrical appliances for the time being. With his identity as the technical section chief of the wireless factory, this private job will become easier.

At this gathering today, Chen Can also wanted to give Cao Debao and Sun a chance to catch up.

Now that the profitability of the soy sauce factory is not good, Chen Can plans to let the two of them come to his house after get off work to learn electrical maintenance techniques together.

Chen Can also knows that these people's talents are very average, but as long as they can learn to repair simple radios and TVs, they will be able to make a living in the next twenty years with this skill.

As for what they will develop into in the future, it depends on them. With so many years of growth, they will give them opportunities in the future.

As for whether they will cherish it or not, that’s up to them!

Chen Can will definitely let go of this kind of small business one after another in the future. Before letting go, it is also a good choice to give a few small businesses a way out.

After this drink, the six young gentlemen broke up completely.

In Zhou Bingkun's memory, after this party, several people gathered together. It was already ten years later.

The fate of several people at that time was completely different.

Sun Qianchao and Xiao Guoqing, who had been reduced to the bottom, and Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang, who had risen to the upper echelons, no longer had the mentality of teenagers and had become hard-working middle-aged people.

A cup of bitter wine and the conflicts caused by class differences made everyone completely lose their previous happiness!

Jichun City has more than ten factories, large and small, engaged in the production of electronic components. Among them, Wireless Factory No. 1 and Wireless Factory No. 2 were the earliest factories engaged in the production of radios.

Wireless Factory No. 2 is very old. It started producing radios as early as the late 1950s. The electronic components it produces are supplied to many military industrial companies.

But such a glorious past has become a mess now. The technology is backward and the products produced have long been eliminated by the market!

Before Huang Jiang took office, someone in the city had suggested merging this factory with other wireless factories.

But in the end, this proposal was shelved because "that incident" was over.

Huang Jiang was ordered to take over the mess.

The first thing he did when he took office was to appoint Chen Can as the chief of the technical department, and asked Chen Can to find a way to upgrade the technology of the second factory and find a new way out.

After Chen Canzai carefully inspected the second wireless factory, he also frowned and thought for a week.

This mess was worse than he imagined. The production equipment was old and broken, and the defective rate of the products produced was extremely high. Not to mention catching up with Europe and the United States, even domestic counterparts were still far behind!

But for Chen Can, it can only be said that this is a small challenge. He used to be able to do it with a screwdriver, not to mention that now he is backed by a wireless factory.

He first had to solve the salary problem for the more than 400 people in the wireless factory. Some people had long been dissatisfied with him as the section chief.

If you want them to shut up, you have to let everyone eat!

Wireless Factory No. 2 is even worse than the soy sauce factory because it has a long history, the average age of workers is over 40 years old, and more than 30% of workers are retired. In such a state, the factory has long been unable to even pay wages!

Big radios produced in factories are expensive and heavy, and the quality is acceptable. However, big radios have gradually become less popular. Except for a few sold in local department stores every year, sales through other channels are zero.

As for the profits of those electronic components, because the technology is too old and cannot keep up with the times, they have gradually fallen into a state of slow sales.

The new factory director, Huang Jiang, was under the greatest pressure. On the first day he took office, the new factory director was suppressed. Dozens of retired workers blocked the door and demanded that Huang Jiang meet their demands.

The requirements of these retired workers are also very simple, just two requirements.

The first one is to replace their retirement salary.

The second one is to reimburse them for their previous medical expenses!

Because of poor efficiency, the factory could only guarantee the wages of current workers, and the wages of retired workers have been in arrears for three months.

As for medical expense reimbursement, it has already been overdue for more than a year!

Workers in this era, whether they are working or retired, are supported by factories, and almost all of their basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation are in factories!

These old men and women have many physical ailments. In this corner of the Northeast, due to temperature reasons, the rate of cerebral hemorrhage and stroke is higher than in other areas. Every time they fall ill, the factory has to reimburse them.

In short, in good times, the welfare of these state-owned enterprises is very generous. The workers are the owners of the factory. Since they are the owners, they can take whatever they want and reimburse them as they please!

However, once they encounter difficulties, the ability of these state-owned factories to resist risks is almost zero, and they all rely on the state to provide cover.

Chen Can did not complain. This is the national condition and there is nothing he can do to change it.

Huang Jiang gave kind words to the workers and finally issued a military order. Within three months, these problems would be solved for everyone!

Afterwards, Huang Jiang found Chen Can with a sad face and discussed with him in a pleading tone!

Chen Can looked indifferent and immediately agreed to Huang Jiang. As long as Huang Jiang gave him enough authority, he would guarantee that the factory would be profitable within three months!

For a small wireless factory with more than 400 people, Chen Can still didn't take this difficulty seriously.

If you encounter a problem, solve it!

Chen Can was quite satisfied with Huang Jiang's trust in him. Although some workers questioned him, there were people behind him who supported him. Chen Can did not encounter any obstacles in what he did at the wireless factory.

Chen Can has two project plans for the reform of the wireless factory.

The first plan is to quickly launch a new product and make quick money.

Chen Can is already preparing for this plan. The product he is planning to produce is called "Super Antenna Receiver", or Super Antenna for short!

The reason why I use the word "super" is to make everyone feel powerful and awesome!

Yes, this thing is the signal strengthening technology. Chen Can used this technology to transform it into two small circular antennas. These small antennas are divided into three models: large, medium and small. They are suitable for all black and white antennas currently on the market.

TV set.

The production cost of a set of such small antennas is about 2.5 cents, not counting the technical cost. Chen Can is going to let the factory sell it at a wholesale price of 10 yuan a set!

There are at least tens of thousands of TV sets in Jichun City, and there are even more TV sets in the three northeastern provinces. As long as this thing can be popularized to one-tenth, it will be enough to support this factory.

The main reason why Chen Can chose to engage in this stuff is that it can spread quickly and make quick money.

If one of two neighbors uses this super antenna, and the picture clarity is far superior to that of the neighbor, then the neighbor will definitely follow suit and buy it!

Compared with a TV that costs several hundred yuan, an antenna that costs ten yuan is really not expensive!

The production requirements and technical difficulty of this thing are not very difficult. The factory's equipment is sufficient to support it. It only needs simple modifications and it can be produced immediately.

This first project was quickly launched by Huangjiang and started production.

Chen Can's second project is a portable radio, which is a compact radio.

Chen Can not only wants to make radios, but also cassette recorders, and finally tape players, but now the conditions are insufficient, so he can only put it on hold temporarily.

At present, the technology and equipment of Wireless Factory No. 2 can only be used to make radios at their maximum function!

With the reform and opening up, portable radios will become a popular trend in the next few years.
Chapter completed!
