Chapter 368 369【A blood-sucking family】
However, despite making so much money, Xiang Nan didn't make any noise.
A piece of wealth is not revealed. At this stage, the annual income of ordinary people is only a few hundred yuan. Xiang Nan made more than 30 million yuan at once, which is really scary.
The so-called too tall people will be more jealous, and living in a clean world is the same. He's making so much money that he's sure to arouse jealousy. At that time, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Secondly, the current general environment is not friendly to the private economy. In 1982, the Eight Great Kings incident occurred in Wenzhou. Several people who got rich first were sentenced to prison for the crime of speculation.
At the end of the 1980s, the boss of Fool Guazi was also investigated because of financial problems. He was sentenced to prison in 1991 and acquitted in 1992.
And they are just a small business, earning hundreds of thousands at most, and they are already facing prison. If news got out that Xiang Nan sold Clivia for more than 30 million yuan, it might be enough to sentence him to death.
So he dared not tell anyone, not even Xiaoping, that he had actually done this.
…
Entering 1985, three more things happened.
First, the Military Commission announced a million-dollar disarmament.
Eleven military regions were reorganized into seven major military regions, of which four military regions, Hanyang, Chuncheng, Fuzhou, and Wumu, were all dismantled.
All headquarters, all military branches, major military regions, and the organs of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and their directly affiliated units will be abolished and merged, and the personnel will be reduced by 40%.
Even the Zongzheng Song and Dance Troupe is streamlining and abolishing a large number of redundant staff. However, business backbones like Xiang Nan and Xiao Ping are not worried about abolition at all.
It is too late for the General Political Department to keep them, so how could they be laid off. Having said that, even if they were laid off, they would have to be snatched away by other units as soon as they walked out the door.
Bayi Film Studio, Beijing Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, CCTV, "Harvest" magazine, "October" magazine, "Fiction Monthly" magazine, etc., all want to poach them.
So, Xiang Nan and Xiaoping are not worried.
…
Second, the central government carried out the second wage reform and launched the "Salary System Reform Plan for Staff of State Organs and Public Institutions".
This plan adjusted the previous practice of not distinguishing between specific items in the wage system, and stipulated that the wages of government agencies and public institutions consist of four parts, including basic wages, job wages, seniority wages, and incentive wages.
This made Xiang Nan and Xiaoping's wages leap forward greatly. Xiaoping's monthly salary has been increased from 80 yuan to 300 yuan. Xiang Nan's monthly salary increased from 177 yuan to 1,200 yuan.
Although the two of them have long stopped living on wages, the increase in wages is still a good thing.
…
Third, Xiaoping’s stepfather finally officially retired after two years in the CPPCC. His retirement benefits are at the department level, and he has a retirement salary of nearly 1,000 yuan a month, which is not bad.
But after completely retreating, the power in his hand is basically gone. For example, before making a phone call, the hall could send a car over, but now it is basically impossible.
Even Xiaoping's younger sister's job, he can't help much. In the end, it was Xiaoping's mother who came to Xiaoping again, "At any rate, she is also half blood related to you. As an older sister, you can't ignore her."
The last time she helped her younger brother arrange work, she said the same thing. Unexpectedly, it is said so again now. Xiang Nan was right, he shouldn't have helped her in the first place. As a result, as long as you open your mouth, there will be no end in the future.
"Mom, you also know that I am a company-level creator, and I am bored writing at home every day. How can I have any connections and powers to help her arrange work?" Xiaoping thought about it, and refused. She doesn't want to do this any more.
When she gave birth last year, no one from their family came to visit her. Now I'm going to work, and I finally think of her, what's going on.
"You don't know many people, but Liu Feng knows a lot of people, so you can ask him to help you." Xiaoping's mother said, "It's his sister-in-law anyway, so I can't ignore it."
"Mom, don't say these things. I regard you as relatives, but you treat me as relatives. I have been in Yanjing for so long. Apart from looking for me for business, how often do you come to see me?
I gave birth last year, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law are far away in Qilu, and they all came here by train. You live in Yanjing, but you have never been here once, let alone helping me with my children. "Xiaoping waved her hands.
"Xiao Ping, don't blame me. I wanted to come, but your father wouldn't let me. You also know that I can't help him because of his temper." Xiao Ping's mother looked puzzled.
"Then why did he let you come to me now?" Xiaoping became even angrier when she heard this.
She has something to do, but he doesn't care at all. If he has something to do, he has to help him, what reason is there? !
"Xiao Ping, don't blame your dad, he is just such a person." Xiao Ping's mother persuaded, "You just look at my face and help your sister. Mom begs you on her behalf~"
"I won't help. She never thought of me as a sister, calling me a fool every day, why should I help her?" Xiaoping refused again.
"Xiaoping, mom, you know that you have been wronged a lot, but if your father hadn't taken you in, our mother and I would have starved to death." Xiaoping's mother persuaded, "No matter what he said, he raised you ten thousand years ago." Nian. Don't you think about this love at all, do you have to ask me to admit my mistake to you?"
Xiaoping felt helpless when she heard what she said, so she let out a long sigh.
"Okay, I'll help you one last time, and I hope you don't come to me again in the future. I'll just treat it like I was raised by nature, without you as a mother, let alone these younger brothers and sisters."
"Xiao Ping, I knew that you are still thinking about this love, and you are a good boy who will be grateful." Seeing that she agreed, Xiao Ping's mother immediately said happily.
Hearing what she said, Xiaoping's face turned livid.
…
Later, she told Xiang Nan about it.
"Comrade Liu, please scold me, I haven't calmed down yet." She said with a mournful face.
Mingming had already made up his mind in his heart that he would completely separate himself from that family. But when she came to the door, she couldn't help but nodded again. It made her hate herself for being spineless and deserved to be bullied.
"I don't blame you." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You can agree to help her, which shows that you are a kind-hearted person. I liked you at the beginning, so why would I blame you.
However, in the future, if you can't refuse this kind of thing, just push it to me, and I will be the villain. Don't promise yourself first, and then regret it later. "
"Yes." Xiaoping nodded.
Xiang Nan then helped Xiaoping's younger sister find a job as a salesperson in a supply and marketing agency. Xiaoping's sister immediately went to work happily.
