Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Wang Qiang was a little surprised.

"How did you know we were here to do business?"

Long Xu smiled and said, "There's a small supply and marketing cooperative about 10 meters in from the place we just passed by. It's not as big as this one, but it's been open for more than 10 years. We don't need to go to a big one to buy a few popsicles. It's far away and crowded."

"Also, I noticed you two were dressed quite respectably and were carrying briefcases, so I assumed you were here on business."

It turned out to be the case.

Such a careful observer, such a smart person.

"You guessed right. We two came from Teng County and came to Taihe City to do some business." Li Youcai said softly.

"Then I'm quite lucky today. If I hadn't met you, I might have been really unlucky today."

Long Xu took a bite of his popsicle and continued, "If you hadn't reminded me to report it, I would have really taken that old man to the hospital, which would have been even more troublesome. Cui Dapao is a well-known scoundrel on Second Road, always up to no good. If I had gotten involved with him, I'd definitely have been in trouble."

"By the way, please leave me your address so that I can send it to you when I have enough money." Long Xu remembered that he didn't know Li Youcai's address yet, so he asked hurriedly.

This is 30 yuan, almost his one month's work. People are willing to lend it to him in an emergency. That is a gesture of friendship, and he has to pay it back.

"There is a Chunfeng Bakery at the west end of Chaoyang Street in Teng County. When you have enough money, just come to me." Li Youcai reported the location of the bakery to Long Xu.

"Chunfeng Bakery, okay, I'll remember it. I will send the money to you within three days." Although the distance was not short, Long Xu did not care. Compared with the other party's kindness, the distance was nothing.

"Not urgent."

Long Xu wanted to invite Li Youcai and Wang Qiang to dinner, but he couldn't afford it because he had no money.

The popsicle was finished quickly.

Li Youcai threw away the popsicle stick.

"It's time for us to go too. See you later."

"Don't worry, I will send the money to you within three days." Long Xu said again.

hehe···

Li Youcai grinned and walked out of the shade of the trees.

Wang Qiang took a look at the dirty Long Xu, then followed Li Youcai's footsteps and left quickly.

Only Long Xu and the tricycle full of scrap were left.

After walking a long way out, Wang Qiang finally spoke and asked, "Brother Cai, I feel like you seem quite interested in that Long Xu from earlier. He's indeed quite smart. Do you want to help him?"

"Teng County is too small, and the consumer market for bread is limited. Sales in Taihe City are the key. Now that we've successfully obtained shelf approval from the supply and marketing company, we need to establish a branch network in Taihe City to connect with the supply and marketing company while coordinating with the factory to dispatch goods. This person must be both reliable and capable."

"Our current staff are all locals from Teng County and lack understanding of Taihe City. I originally wanted to promote Dalin and have him come over, but I was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle it."

"Long Xu is very familiar with Taihe City and is quite clever. If we recruit him to assist Dalin as his deputy, this matter should be settled."

The market in Taihe City has now been opened, and there needs to be someone stationed here to connect with the supply and marketing cooperative company to distribute goods, handle expiring bread, recycle expired bread, prepare sales reports, and calculate sales amounts. These tasks all need someone to do.

Based on Dalin's ability alone, Li Youcai didn't think he could do it well.

But now Li Youcai really doesn't have anyone available. Although he has been thinking about this matter in his mind for some time, he has never made up his mind and has never talked about it with Wang Qiang.

Unexpectedly, during this trip to Taihe, I unexpectedly met Long Xu, my nine-headed military strategist in my previous life.

After listening to Li Youcai's words, Wang Qiang nodded silently.

The bakery was just starting out, and although it had recruited a lot of people, none of them could be described as reliable.

The Taihe branch is too important, and you can't use it unless you completely trust someone.

Otherwise, if anyone in this position has any evil intentions, the factory will suffer huge losses.

Dalin is one of the first brothers that Wang Qiang brought from the forest farm. He is smart and reliable. If Brother Cai can really promote him to be the manager of this outlet, Wang Qiang will naturally be very happy.

In total, Wang Qiang brought more than fifty people from the forest farm. If two figures could really emerge from these people, then he, Wang Qiang, would have given an explanation to the folks in the forest farm.

"Brother Cai, I thank you on behalf of Dalin. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him. If he doesn't do a good job, you should withdraw. We will never say no." Wang Qiang said confidently.

Hehehe...

Li Youcai patted Wang Qiang's arm and said, "Dalin is your brother, and now he is also my brother. I believe he can do a good job."

"Let's go back to the factory."

"Not buying gifts?" Wang Qiang asked.

"I won't buy it. There's no suitable shop on the whole street. It's a waste of time to go on walking around."

The two changed direction and headed towards the long-distance bus station.

On the other side, Long Xu rode a tricycle with a straw hat on his head and continued riding towards the scrap company outside the city.

Everyone looks down on the job of collecting waste.

In fact, as long as you don't care too much about other people's eyes, this job is quite pleasant.

Working hours are relatively flexible. There is no supervision and no KPI. No one cares how much you work.

Long Xu returned to the company and weighed all the waste he had collected today and handed them in. His work for the day was completed. As for whether he would go to collect waste in the afternoon, no one cared.

Riding a tricycle, Long Xu returned to his home.

The adobe house they built themselves was empty. Their younger brothers and sisters were all in school. Their father was an ordinary worker in an electromechanical factory and the only one in the family who earned 36 yuan. Their mother had no stable job and relied on odd jobs to supplement the family income.

In the early years, Long Xu's family had a difficult time.

Long Xu went to the countryside to work in the fields, and his parents raised the second and third sons. The whole family relied on his father's monthly salary, which was not enough to eat.

Now that Long Xu has returned to his hometown, he has a job that pays 33 yuan a month, which makes things a lot easier for his family.

Long Xu fetched a basin of water and placed it in the yard, ready to wash off the dirt on his body, when he heard a harsh sound in his ears.

"Hey, the Junk King is back. Your unit is pretty good. You only work half a day every day, and then you can go on duty in the afternoon. It's really relaxing."

On the other side of the fence stood a young man about the same age as Long Xu, smirking and grinning.

"You've been back home for nearly half a year, and you haven't found a job yet? If you envy me for only working half a day, I can ask for you and let you collect scrap too." Long Xu said to the man in a loud voice.

"Tsk, I won't do it. Who would collect junk? It stinks to death."

The man deliberately pinched his nose and said sarcastically, "Among our group of educated youth, Da Yang went to the post office, Sun Ming went to the brewery, and Liu Meng is now a teacher at the No. 1 Mine Primary School. Only you went to a shabby company, and you don't think you're a loser."

"By the way, don't you like Liu Meng?"
