Chapter 607 Hit it off
Lin Geng's words stunned Sha Zhu. Now Sha Zhu realized the importance of studying. After the wind stopped, the country held a meeting two years ago and decided to reform it. In addition, the college entrance examination was restored in 1977. Who doesn't want their children to be admitted to university and make a name for themselves in the future?
The value of college students in this era is so high that they are immediately snatched up by various units after graduation. They are assigned administrative levels as soon as they start working and can become leaders within two years.
Not to mention college students, even technical secondary school students are very popular in the workplace now. Yu Shui listened to Lin Geng's advice and took the technical secondary school entrance examination. He graduated from the technical secondary school before the wind started and joined the textile factory. He received an administrative salary and became a section chief within two years.
During the windy period, Yu Shui still married a policeman, but he was definitely not the small-time police officer in the original drama. She directly married a section chief who was transferred from the army to the Public Security Bureau. After the wind stopped, Yu Shui has been transferred to work in the district and has become a section chief of a district government department.
Sha Zhu himself suffered from his lack of education. After hanging out with Lin Geng every day for these years, he realized the importance of reading, knowledge and academic qualifications. Of course, he also hoped that his children could go to college in the future.
However, at that time, the nine-year compulsory education had not yet begun, and students had to pay tuition fees. Although the tuition fees were very low, if a family had several children, the tuition fees would still be a burden.
Moreover, Sha Zhu has always been carefree and spends money lavishly. Although his salary over the years is not low, combined with Zhao Erya's salary, the two of them can earn more than one hundred yuan a month, but they have not saved much money over the years.
After hearing what Lin Geng said, Sha Zhu couldn't help but frown, especially about the issue of buying a house. He and Zhao Erya had indeed been having a headache recently. His family used to live in a courtyard house, and was considered one of the families with the best house. But now Zhao Erya had given birth to two boys and a girl for him. As the children grew older, the problem of the house became apparent.
The three children are still crowded in one room, and their daughter is getting older. He and Zhao Erya have been considering buying two more houses recently. However, the courtyard is now full and there are no houses to allocate in the factory. It is said that the factory is preparing to build some residential buildings, but it is just a rumor now, and it is not known when they will be built!
Now his two sons are not young anymore, and they will definitely need a house when they get married. However, the houses on the market are getting more and more expensive, and he really can't afford it.
At this time, Zhao Erya, who was picking vegetables outside, heard them talking, walked in with a basket of vegetables, rolled her eyes at Sha Zhu, and said to him, "Just listen to Lin Zi. When has Lin Zi ever lied to you? Look at who Lin Zi is. If Lin Zi says he can do it, then he can definitely do it!
Linzi is knowledgeable and has many connections. Since Linzi wants to do business, he tells you that he just wants to help you, but you still do it!
Linzi is right. With the salary from the factory, we can pay for our children's schooling and buy a house. Do you think our salary is enough?"
Although Sha Zhu is usually carefree, he is very kind to Zhao Erya and always listens to her. After hearing what Zhao Erya said, Sha Zhu stopped arguing and smiled at Lin Geng, scratched his head and said, "Okay! I'll listen to you! Tell me, what kind of business do you want to do?"
Xu Damao was listening to what Lin Geng said. Qin Jingru, the wife of Xu Damao, had given birth to two sons and a daughter. The three of them, as good friends, now had two sons and one daughter, which made Xu Damao very happy.
But at the same time, Xu Damao was facing the same situation as Sha Zhu. There were only two rooms in his house and he also faced the problem of not having enough space to live in. And he also wanted his children to go to college in the future.
Even though he is now the deputy chief of the Propaganda Department in the factory, his salary is the same as Lin Geng's, and there is no extra money. His income is not even as much as Sha Zhu's family. Qin Jingru doesn't have a job yet and has been taking care of the children at home. She is even more short of money than Sha Zhu.
So he nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, yes, Lin Zi, tell me what kind of business you want to do, I will do it with you! With your current ability, you will definitely not lose money!"
Seeing that Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were willing to work with him, Lin Geng expressed his idea: "As for me, I have been looking for a place to open a restaurant! There are more and more people in the city now, but there are only a few state-owned restaurants. The service attitude is poor, the food tastes average, the environment is not good, and the sanitary conditions are poor!
So I was thinking about opening a mid- to high-end restaurant, focusing on cleanliness, good environment, good food quality and good service attitude. Such a restaurant will definitely make money, and I estimate it will make a lot of money!
Before, I was thinking of finding a skilled chef to manage my kitchen, and then find a smart person to help me manage the front office, be responsible for managing the waiters, and receive customers!
Then I thought, aren't you two ready-made? Brother Zhuzi, I dare not say that your cooking skills are the best in the city, but I have eaten food from many places, and your cooking skills are quite good. If you are willing, I will hand over the kitchen to you, and you will be the head chef of my restaurant!
Brother Damao is the most capable and has good judgment. If you are willing, you can help me manage the front office. With Damao's personality, this is the most suitable job for him!
So I came to you today to ask you two if you want to work with me! If you are willing, then I won't look for anyone else!
And if the restaurant business is good, I plan to start some other business in the future. We brothers will each take charge of a piece, which will definitely be much better than the meager salary we earn from working!"
When Xu Damao and Sha Zhu heard that Lin Geng wanted to open a restaurant, their eyes suddenly lit up, especially Sha Zhu. He had a dream in his life, which was to open his own restaurant one day and be the chef himself. This would be much more prestigious than being a cook in a factory.
Although he is now the canteen director in the factory and his work is not too busy, he is mainly responsible for preparing special meals for the factory leaders, but this does not allow him to fully display his cooking skills. You know, his family has a tradition of Tan family cuisine, but he has only made Tan family cuisine a few times in all these years.
Now Lin Geng said that he wanted to open a big restaurant and let him be the chef and head cook. Sha Zhu immediately became excited.
As for Xu Damao, although he doesn't have any other skills, his ability to judge people and serve them well is absolutely impeccable. He is much more capable of dealing with people than Sha Zhu, and he is also good at talking, making him the most suitable person to be responsible for welcoming and seeing off guests.
