Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

This brand of fountain pen has won the gold medal for domestic fountain pens and is known as one of the best self-priming fountain pens.

At this moment, it is definitely a gift worth giving away.

In addition to the pen, Li Youcai also specially found a ticket scalper to get a few approval slips and bought a box of Moutai liquor, planning to take them over in the evening.

Bought the gift.

Li Youcai came back from the supply and marketing cooperative and was walking on the street. From a distance, he saw two people outside his factory gate, peeking around and occasionally looking into the yard.

These two men don't carry any shoulder poles and don't look like peddlers.

The clothes he wore were also ragged.

Seeing this, Li Youcai did not rush back to the factory, but stopped and observed the two people from behind.

Li Youcai discovered that these two people were not just looking around randomly.

It was a bit like scouting. As soon as a peddler came out, they would deliberately turn their backs to avoid him and cover their faces tightly with the collars of their coats.

After observing for a while, Li Youcai wanted to walk over and take a look at what the two men looked like.

It's a pity that those two people were too alert.

Li Youcai was just about to cross the road when they spotted him and ran away.

"Fuck! They're such thieves!" Li Youcai was a little annoyed that these two people ran away without him even getting a clear look at what they looked like.

But no matter what these two people do.

Li Youcai was very clear that his factory had been targeted by someone.

Back at the factory, there were still many peddlers waiting to buy goods in the courtyard. Li Youcai looked at them carefully but didn't see anything.

These people all had thick cloth patches on their shoulders, and they were undoubtedly peddlers.

In the distance, Dazhuang and Wang Qiang were cleaning the dusty office.

Li Youcai walked directly into the production workshop.

The room was filled with steam. Zhang Laoer and his team had just made a pot of ice cream and were packaging it. Everything seemed normal.

Seeing his elder brother coming back, Li Youjie, who was packing ice cream into a plastic bag, seemed very excited: "Brother, let me tell you, my method worked. Our output today is twice as much as yesterday!"

The number of lunch boxes has doubled, and production efficiency has also doubled.

But even so, their ice cream is still in short supply.

Li Youjie felt extremely excited as he put bills into his pocket one by one.

Li Youcai smiled and nodded: "That's good. Use your brain more when doing things in the future."

"You talk as if I haven't used my brain before." Li Youjie muttered with a smile.

Remembering that he was going to Wang Changlin's house for a drink that night, and worried that Chu Xinyan and Duoduo were waiting for him, Li Youcai said, "Section Chief Wang of the Aquatic Products Company has been promoted to manager. I'm going to have a drink with him tonight. When you go home tonight, remember to tell your sister-in-law."

"Section Chief Wang was promoted to manager? Then he will be the boss of the aquatic products company in the future! Brother, can we continue to catch frogs next year?" Li Youjie was also very surprised to hear that Wang Changlin was promoted, and asked in a low voice.

Although their family’s frog business is not going to work now, they can still continue next year.

Wang Changlin's promotion naturally brings many benefits to their family.

"Yeah!" Li Youcai smiled and nodded in response.

After walking around the workshop, Li Youcai came to the office area opposite the workshop.

Inside the room, Dazhuang and Wang Qiang were mopping the floor with mops. The office, which was originally full of dust, had now been cleaned up, but it looked very empty due to the lack of furniture.

"Wang Qiang! Da Zhuang! Come here, I want to tell you something." Li Youcai called out from a distance.

In the house, Dazhuang and Wang Qiang heard Li Youcai's shouting outside, and ran out of the house one after another.

"what's up?"

"I just saw two people acting suspiciously outside the factory, as if they were scouting the area. Did you find anything wrong in the yard?" Li Youcai asked.

Da Zhuang shook his head.

Wang Qiang had only been there for a few hours. After getting familiar with the environment, he came to the office to clean. He didn't see anyone acting suspiciously at all.

"Why don't I go out and take a look." Wang Qiang said with a frown.

He just received his salary and came to work today, and someone has already set his sights on this factory. It's really not easy to earn these three hundred yuan.

"No need. Those two guys are very cunning. You probably won't be able to catch them if you go there." Li Youcai didn't let Wang Qiang go.

It doesn't matter whether they look or not. They are outside the factory and as long as they don't enter the yard, they can't do anything about it.

"I came here to tell you this to remind you to pay more attention to the people coming and going and not to be taken advantage of. Be careful at night and make sure to lock the door of the production workshop. As long as they can't get in, they won't cause any trouble." Li Youcai gave specific instructions.

The entire factory was empty and there was nothing to throw away.

Li Youjie takes the funds home every day, so since the money is not in the factory, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Okay, I'll keep a close eye on it." Wang Qiang said.

Li Youcai looked at Dazhuang again: "Dazhuang, go home with Youjie tonight, and be sure to pay attention to safety on the road."

"Okay, I understand. What about you?" Da Zhuang nodded.

Li Youcai replied, "I have a dinner party tonight and have to leave soon."

Time soon came to get off work.

Gao Dapeng arranged his work in the restaurant and came to the factory again and called Li Youcai.

"Brother Youcai, shall we go?"

"Brother Gao."

Gao Dapeng saw Li Youcai holding a box of wine and smiled: "You are really careful. I only brought my mouth."

"To Brother Wang, your congratulations are more effective than any other gift." Li Youcai said with a smile.

Wang Changlin and Gao Dapeng have been comrades-in-arms for many years, and their feelings are not at all about this small gift.

Gao Dapeng didn't have to send it off, but he couldn't just not show any appreciation at all.

When following Gao Dapeng out of the door, Li Youcai looked around the street and did not see the two people before.

Li Youcai didn't think much about it and just assumed that the two men had left.

But Li Youcai was wrong.

He just thought that the two people might be thieves who came to scout the place, so he told Wang Qiang to lock the door.

But no one expected that the two men were not scouting the place to steal things, but to target people!

At five o'clock in the evening, the ice cream factory closes.

Li Youjie sorted out today's income and hid it all in the waist bag he made himself.

A cloth pocket was stretched on a wide elastic band around the waist. He wore a cotton jacket on the outside and then a military coat. It was impossible to tell that there was money hidden in his stomach.

Riding on a bicycle, Li Youjie carried Dazhuang on his back and left the factory.

Zhang Laoer and his friends also finished work and left the factory together.

Wang Qiang locked the door of the production workshop himself and checked it carefully three times until he was sure that there was no problem, then he left with peace of mind.
