"Washbasin, have you really decided to drop out of school?" At the entrance of the famous Wudaokou Institute of Technology, a pair of good friends were saying goodbye.
"Yes, my parents have passed away and left me with two young sisters. I have to go back and take care of them!" A boy in bell-bottoms, who was definitely a fashionable person in that era, said faintly.
"But you can't just drop out! Do you know how many people dream of getting into Tsinghua University? How can you just drop out like this? Are you crazy? Do you still want your future?!!! "Another person questioned loudly, attracting the attention of the surrounding students.
"That's right. If I can graduate from here and enter society, I should have a glorious life!" The boy nodded. "But so what? If I drop out now, the glory that belongs to me will come three years earlier. Isn't that good? "
"Bill Gates also dropped out halfway through Harvard!"
"Who's Bill Gates? I've never heard of him. "
"Microsoft … Okay, it's not 1995 yet. He doesn't seem to be famous now …" The boy sighed. "Brother, I've made up my mind. Don't try to persuade me anymore. Anyway, I will be rich in the future."
"Rich? Are you crazy? You don't even have a diploma, let alone a job. You can't enter a public institution or a national organization. What kind of glorious life do you have? Don't tell me you want to speculate and become a self-employed person? "Another person said bitterly.
"Self-employed? Of course I don't want to be self-employed. If I want to be, I'll be a big boss. Don't you know? My parents left me a factory. When I go back, I'll be a small boss! "The boy laughed.
"A food factory with only a dozen workers …" Although the other person was very cultured, he still showed a look of disdain.
"Xiao Qi, how about we make a bet?" The boy put his arm around his roommate's shoulder and laughed. "From now until you graduate, if I can expand my food factory to the size of a thousand workers in three years, you will come and help me. How about you be my general manager?"
"A thousand workers?" Little Seven was shocked by his good friend's words. Had this guy lost his mind? Did he think that he was running a state-run factory with thousands of people in it?
However, if he could really operate a factory with a thousand employees, how much money would he be able to earn?
One million?
"How about it? Are you willing to bet with me? Are you a coward? Say something! "The boy said with a smile.
"Alright! If you can really be a big boss, I will let you be the general manager! "Xiao Qi nodded hard.
"Okay, see you in three years!" The boy waved his hand and disappeared from Xiao Qi's sight.

"Dalin, isn't it inappropriate for us to make such a ruckus? After all, the old factory director and his wife have only left for less than half a month! " At the door of a dirty and shabby small factory full of the smell of engine oil, there were more than a dozen men holding signs that said, "Pay your debts, don't owe the wages of the working class." The leader was a middle-aged man in his 40s. Beside him was a short and plump wife. She couldn't bear to see them like this.
"So what if they have only left for half a month? They have already owed us half a year's wages. It's a total of 900 yuan! Our family is almost starving. If they don't pay us back today, our whole family will starve to death! " Dalin said fiercely. "Listen, I heard that the top student has come back. We can ask him for our wages. If it doesn't work, we can sell all the equipment in the factory. We can always get our wages back!"
"But if the equipment in the factory is sold, the factory will be completely gone!"
"So what if it's gone? He is a top student from Tsinghua University. Do you think he will be interested in such a small food factory? Don't worry, he is very capable. He definitely won't run this small broken factory anymore. Maybe he is even discussing with others to sell the machines now! "
"Listen to me, we must stick to the end this time. Otherwise, the little bastard will sell the equipment and run to Beijing with all the money. We can forget about getting our wages back for the rest of our lives!" Da Lin shouted, and the other workers behind him immediately followed suit. Their slogans for the other party to return the money were even more deafening.
Just as Dalin and the others were shouting slogans, the long door finally opened. A few figures walked out of the factory. A few well-dressed adults looked at the troublemaking workers meaningfully. Then, they got into a small car at the entrance of the factory and left, leaving the boy standing at the door in a daze.
When he saw the boy appear, Dalin rushed up to him, grabbed his arm and shook it hard. "Peng, Uncle Dalin watched you grow up. Uncle Dalin is also your elder. Please do me a favor and save my family!"
"Uncle Dalin's family has been starving for six months. If you don't give us our wages today, we will all starve to death in front of your door!"
Peng was a name for children in Yuzhang. However, after the age of twelve, most children would not use this name. It was a little disrespectful.
"Haha!" The boy laughed. "Uncle Dalin, if you have been starving for six months, are you a human or a ghost now?"
"Peng, how can you say that?" Uncle Dalin's face suddenly changed a few times.
"No matter what I say, please let go of my hand first!" The boy glared at Uncle Dalin fiercely. This man in his forties was actually a little scared by this glare. He could not help but take a few steps back.
After taking a step back, he felt that he had lost face, so he said angrily, "Jia Yapeng, let me ask you. Are those people here to look at the equipment? Are you planning to sell the equipment?"
"Half!" Jia Yapeng said lightly.
"What do you mean?" Uncle Dalin was a little confused.
"Uncle Dalin, you are only half right. Those people are here to look at the equipment, but they don't plan to buy it. They just want to estimate the price of the equipment and then loan it to me!" Jia Yapeng said.
"Loan? What do you mean by loan? "Uncle Dalin heard this completely unfamiliar word and could not help but be a little confused.
"Damn, I forgot. The people of Hua Xia in 1990 are still too pure. Most of them have never heard of the word loan!" Jia Yapeng touched his head and then explained, "Simply put, they are the people from the bank. They estimated the price of our equipment and used it as collateral to lend me a sum of money!"
"Didn't you sell the equipment … Wait … That means you have money now!" Uncle Dalin's eyes lit up. He immediately shouted, "Return the money. Hurry up and return our wages to us!"
"Yes, I will give you the money. Not only will I return the six months of wages that you owe, I will also give you an additional six months of compensation. A total of one year's wages will be given to you!" Jia Yapeng said with a serious face.
"What did you say?" Then, all the workers present were confused.
"I said, I will give you a year's wages. Your Uncle Dalin's monthly wage is 150 yuan, so I will give you 1,800 yuan! "Jia Yapeng said.
"1,800 yuan!" Uncle Dalin swallowed hard. He had already begun to imagine a good life with the money, but he quickly broke free from his fantasy.
"Peng … Young Master Jia, are you kidding me? How can you give me a year's wages? "Uncle Dalin still did not believe it.
"I said I will give it, but not now. It will be two months later. Two months later, I will give each of you a total of 14 months' wages!" Jia Yapeng said.
"Two months!" Uncle Lin's eyes widened. "Jia Yapeng, you're still playing with your uncle, aren't you? Don't think that your uncle is easy to fool. You've already disappeared without a trace in two months. How are we supposed to find you?!"
"You definitely don't have to worry about me running away. In the next two months, Jia Yapeng will eat, live, and sleep. I will also work! I will spend all my time in the factory. Every one of you will be able to see me. I will not take a step out of this place! "
"Everyone, cheer up. Our Daqian instant noodle factory is going to start work again!"
