The next day, Hua Dao came to the office again when he was about to get off work. Two people followed him in. The moment the three of them entered, they went to look at the pile of navel oranges. One of them asked," It doesn't taste bad, right? Don't make it sour." Hua replied," It's very sweet. Do you want to try one?"”"No need. I'll get someone to bring 50 boxes later.”After this one finished speaking, the other one also said," I have fifty boxes here too. Come and get it tomorrow morning." Hua said to me," Leave some people here. One of them will come to get the navel oranges later.”I nodded. The three of them left. Soon, Hua returned alone. She didn't enter his small office but sat on the leather-made sofa outside. He looked very tired. He took out a cigarette and lit it up. He looked at the ground thoughtfully and slowly smoked. After taking a few puffs, perhaps feeling a little better, he raised his head and said to me," I've finally managed to get some out after running for a day.”It turned out that he had been running around for navel oranges all day. He went to the government department where he used to work and asked for help from his acquaintances. The two people just now were going to give benefits to the staff. Hua said that there would be people coming to see the goods tomorrow, and they could get some more. After finishing the cigarette in my hand, Hua stood up from the sofa to leave the office. Before he left, he told me to stay and wait for others to move the navel oranges.
On the third day, Hua continued to look for acquaintances to sell navel oranges. On this day, people would come and move 30 to 50 boxes. By the afternoon, more than half of the navel oranges piled up in the office had been moved away. In the evening, Hua and his brother-in-law came to the office again. Hua pointed to the remaining navel oranges and said to his brother-in-law,"You should be able to move the rest of them away, right?"”When his brother-in-law saw that more than half of the navel oranges were gone, he stopped arguing with his brother-in-law and immediately took out his phone to make a call. Not long after, his men drove over and took the navel oranges downstairs. At this time, there were only a few boxes left in the office with broken packaging. Hua asked someone to pack them in plastic bags, and he took them and gave them away. At this point, not a single navel orange was left in the office.
Hua's wishful thinking of making money from navel oranges was broken. My first month's salary was also owed. Some of those who came before were owed three months. Everyone was helpless. The company's predicament was as obvious as " lice on the bald head ". It was useless to make a fuss. Hua had also done her best.
Although, after I failed to earn money from navel oranges in China, I've been considering whether to leave the company immediately. However, if I really want to decide on this matter, it makes me hesitate. At that time, private enterprises were in the stage of "the world is as black as the crow and the Ya are black (black refers to the difficulty of management)". It was easy to leave, but how could they dare to say that the next company would be able to pay wages?
Just as I was thinking about whether to stay or leave, Hua Lai came to talk to me. He said," Navel oranges are just small businesses. It's better if you earn money. It doesn't matter if you don't. Our company's vision isn't on these small businesses. We have big ambitions and want to make a lot of money. We have a few big projects in other places. As long as one of them is completed, we can earn tens of millions, or at least millions. At that time, we won't have to worry about spending money." Was there really such a good thing? I no longer believe that these fabricated myths will become reality. However, I was still impressed by the indomitable spirit of people like Hua Ji who were obsessed with the dream of being a "boss". People like him might be born to be restless and want to make a move in society.
Hua didn't come out because his company was shut down and he had no way out. He went into the sea from the government department. He didn't have to worry about his salary and bonus in the government department. Most of the people around him were content with the status quo, and the fact that he could walk out of it was a manifestation of his unwillingness to be mediocre. It was not that they were much stronger than others, but that their courage was incomparable to ordinary people. When the great man said," reform and opening up is like crossing the river by feeling the stones ", he was probably talking to this kind of people, because when most people stood on the shore and were indifferent, it was people like them who went into the water first to " boldly try, boldly break through ". In the past, in the unit, people always thought that I belonged to the "daring to eat crabs" type, but I knew that I wasn't. Compared to people like Hua, I can only be considered as someone who eats rice prawns. We're both from the same unit, but I only have the courage to choose to work. I never dare to dream of being a boss. This is the difference in courage between me and people like Hua. However, from the bottom of my heart, I admire those who dare to be bosses, so I'm willing to be with people like them. Because only when they put on the company's airs will there be a job market for people like me. The world was such a wonderful combination. Some people desperately wanted to be the boss, while others would rather die than be the boss. It was these two different choices that allowed the boss and the wage earner to have both roles, and the boss's company could be established. The bosses needed workers, so I relied on what I was good at and joined these bosses to seek the role of "Grand Master".
When Hua Chao spoke to me, no matter what I thought in my heart, I would nod at him on the surface and pretend to listen carefully. Even though " birds die for food " and I will " die " if he doesn't pay me, it won't happen immediately. Therefore, I decided to follow him for a while longer. He continued to tell me," The company has decided to focus on big projects. You already know about the Northwest Timber Market project. It was Sha who brought a few recently graduated students to support it. Sha requested the company to send more people over. I've discussed it with the chairman and decided to send you there again.”
After entering the company, I hope to have a substantial job because I can't muddle along for long. Now that I'm assigned to a project, of course I'm willing. However, there was a problem. Sha was the " project director " sent by the company. If they sent me to the same project, would the management overlap with Sha's? He asked Hua," Will there be any conflict between my duties and Sha's?”"It won't happen. You're the vice president of the company, and he's the project director. He's under your leadership.”Hua had explained the level of relationship between me and Sha, so I was relieved. I didn't ask any more questions about this. I would know everything when I reached there.
However, I still have to mention one thing. Because I haven't earned any income from working, I'm already out of savings. I have to borrow some money from the company before I leave. Hua expected me to mention borrowing money, so he blocked my mouth with words first. He said," I've already called the boss of the partner company over there about the salaries of the few of you working on the project. He agreed to advance the salaries of the few of you while you were working there. He also agreed to borrow money from them for your daily activities. When the project is completed and the house is sold, he will deduct it back to them when the accounts are settled.”Hearing Hua say this, I can't bring up the matter of borrowing money again. I can only talk about it there.
Since the matter has been settled, I want to leave for Tong Gu as soon as possible. Hua said," I have two identities in the project. First, I am the representative of the investors of " Hao Long ", and second, I am the vice president sent to manage the project. In order to not lose face for the investment company, he wants to send me there personally. He called his brother-in-law to get him a Toyota car to put on a show and not let Gu Tong's partners look down on him.
After discussing it with Hua, I returned home that night and told my wife about the company sending me to the next project. She only knew that there was a "Gu Tong", but she did not know where it was. She asked me how far that county was from the provincial capital. Because I had never been there before, I only roughly knew that it was in the northwest direction of the province. As for how far it was, I couldn't say. When I used to work in the factory, the cars in the factory used to go to the forest farm in that county to collect wood. The driver said that it was deep in the mountains and forests, and the roads were steep and dangerous. I took out the map and looked at it carefully. I found out that the county was located in the intersection of Luoxiao Mountain and Jiuling Mountain in the northwest corner of the province. From the map, it was estimated that they were at least four hundred miles away from the provincial capital. My wife is not too happy about me going to such a remote mountain area to work. He advised me," It's better to find a new company in the city than to go to such a remote mountain area.”
