Chapter 656 Who Is Wearing the Shoes?

"Watch your words, Xia Zhemin! Don't make those incorrect remarks in public."

Jiao Yaqiang slowly stood up in the surprised eyes of everyone around him and confronted Xia Zhemin face to face.

He was not tall, half a head shorter than the tall Xia Zhemin, but his resolute aura faintly overwhelmed Xia Zhemin who was in a state of anger.

"Incorrect remarks? Ha~, how ridiculous!"

The angry Xia Zhemin sneered and asked Jiao Yaqiang sarcastically: "Which of my words is incorrect?

What do you think you can do after returning to the mainland as a top student of microelectronics? Research televisions? Radios? Washing machines? You don't think you will be asked to research satellites, do you?"

"No, you are wrong, you are wrong, Jiao Yaqiang, even the radio is not your turn to research."

Xia Zhemin's tone became sharp: "After you return to China, you will be assigned to a certain research institute and beg those who don't understand technology at all to give you a chance to serve you.

This is not the 1950s. After you return to China, you can only be a deputy to others and waste your youth in endless wrangling."

"."

Li Ye's hand was held tightly by Wen Leyu's hand.

But Li Ye did not stand up immediately, because the people around him were aroused by Xia Zhemin's words at this time, and Li Ye had no suitable reason to refute the objective environment that was deliberately exaggerated but actually existed.

Just like Ni Dashen, after returning from overseas, he successfully built Lenovo, but Liu Lenovo seized the leading right of technology research and development on the grounds that "we have to survive first".

So how can Li Ye make Jiao Yaqiang and others believe that mainland enterprises will give them enough rights to develop along their lines?

However, Jiao Yaqiang was not completely overwhelmed by Xia Zhemin. He raised his head and said in a low voice: "Zhemin, what you said is just an individual phenomenon, not all, and have you forgotten our oath?

We came to the lighthouse not to stay here to earn dollars."

"."

Everyone around was silent.

Because they basically said similar oaths before leaving the mainland to come to the lighthouse.

This oath may be a thorn in the hearts of some people, but in the hearts of some people, it may be a piece of paper to wipe their butts.

"Hehe. Hehe"

Xia Zhemin looked at Jiao Yaqiang with amusement, as if he had heard the best joke in the world.

"The vows you made? Which one are you talking about?" Xia Zhemin said with a smile: "I failed to get into college for two consecutive years starting from 1977. The young and old men in the village forced me to give up the college entrance examination and work in the fields, because the village lost a laborer and disrupted production. I knelt on the ground and swore to them that I would not delay the work in the fields, and after I was admitted to college, I would give them two yuan each." "I worked day and night, studied day and night, and did more work than all my peers, but they still laughed at me and said I was dreaming." "Later, I was admitted to Tsinghua University and went to Dengta to study abroad. The young and old men in the village came to me. A letter, guess what they wrote in the letter? "

"They asked me if the promise of two yuan per person was too little, as no one in the village has a TV now."

Xia Zhemin smiled like crazy and said, "After I went to Tsinghua University, I ranked first in the exams every year, but when it came to selecting the qualifications for studying abroad, I always failed. I swore a blood oath again, and then I came to the lighthouse."

"No, you are second, Jiang Minzhi is first."

"."

Jiao Yaqiang repeated, "You have never surpassed Jiang Minzhi, you are second, she is first."

Xia Zhemin pursed his lips and looked at Jiao Yaqiang for a while, waved his hand and smiled, as if he didn't want to argue with Jiao Yaqiang. "Then I ask you, Lao Jiao, now that I have returned to the mainland, how can I fulfill my promise?" Xia Zhemin said mockingly: "People's greed will grow wildly. I promised them two yuan each, and now everyone asks me for a TV. I swear to fight for my whole life. But how can I fight? Do I still have to work day and night with a salary of several hundred yuan to make those people get what they want?" "Why?" "Why are they all technical talents, but have different fates? I am now at Boeing, and I only need to work five days a week, and one day a year Months of annual leave, but can get hundreds of times the salary, why is this? "

"This is because only the civilized world of Lighthouse respects our personality and can realize our life value."

Xia Zhemin said angrily again: "So tell me, Lao Jiao, why should I go back to that backward, ignorant, and unreasonable world, why should I..."

"Pah~"

A big bowl fell at Xia Zhemin's feet, and the soup inside stained his trouser legs and shoes, and also suppressed his indignant voice back to his stomach.

Li Ye stood up, pulled Jiao Yaqiang back, and stood opposite Xia Zhemin.

"If you want to fart, find a toilet first, don't suffocate people here."

"."

"Oh, why does he talk like that?"

"Yes! Not very civilized"

After Li Ye finished speaking, the people around him were quiet for a few seconds, and then they started to make a noise. Many people felt that Li Ye's words were too rude.

Xia Zhemin was furious and immediately shouted angrily: "What are you talking about? What did I say wrong? Doesn't the lighthouse work five days a week? Doesn't the lighthouse pay us tens of thousands of dollars a year?"

Xia Zhemin was telling the truth. In 1926, Henry Ford, a legendary American car manufacturer, stipulated that employees should have Saturdays and Sundays as rest days and implement a 40-hour work week.

Later, driven by religious groups and trade unions, the eight-hour-a-day, five-day-a-week work system was formed in the 1930s and implemented in Western countries such as the United States and Britain.

The popularization of the five-day work system in China was decades later than in Western countries. At this time, there is indeed no Sunday service in the mainland.

But Li Ye said coldly: "Lighthouses do work five days a week, but this benefit is not innate. It is the ancestors of the lighthouse workers who worked sixteen hours a day to pass on to their descendants."

"."

Xia Zhemin was stunned for a moment and was a little confused for a moment. He is now enjoying the benefit of "predecessors plant trees and future generations enjoy the shade". He can't say that he is also the grandson of the ancestors of the lighthouse, right?

But Li Ye smiled and said: "Don't you believe it? Then you can ask the lighthouse friends around you, how many hours did the lighthouse factory work seventy years ago, and were there child laborers in it?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible?"

Xia Zhemin subconsciously began to deny it. After all, "child labor" is absolutely black material and is absolutely incompatible with the civilized world.

But some lighthouse people around him, after listening to the translation of the people around them, did not refute Li Ye.

Li Ye said calmly: "We are all educated people, you can check it yourself. A hundred years ago, the most developed country on this planet was not the lighthouse, but the British Empire."

"And two hundred years ago, the British Empire was not the first in the world. The first was the fucking Qing Empire."

"."

"Oh~"

The people around started to make noise again, but this time, no one disliked Li Ye's rudeness.

Li Ye exhaled and said in a deep voice: "One hundred and fifty years ago, the factories outside London that were emitting black smoke had a fourteen-hour work system,"

"At that time, the Qing Dynasty had spring ploughing and autumn harvesting, two seasons a year, and rested at sunset,"

"The British Empire used a fourteen-hour work system to surpass the comfortable Qing Dynasty and become the world's number one,"

"And a hundred years ago, the British Empire used a sixteen-hour work system plus child labor to surpass the British Empire and become the world's number one in GDP."

"Now you only see the wealth of the British Empire and its civilization, but did you see their ancestors gritting their teeth and working hard?"

"Look at the rising Japan and South Korea in recent years. Which one did not make more efforts than others to create better survival opportunities for future generations?"

"All the civilizations you see today are built on the suffering of your ancestors. If you are unwilling to endure this suffering, you will never keep up with the pace of the forerunners."

In fact, the phenomenon of "roll" has existed for a long time. The British Empire rolled over the Qing Dynasty, and America rolled over the British Empire again. The other roll king behind... is about to become an adult.

Li Ye raised his voice and said to Xia Zhemin sternly: "You want to break your oath and stay in the lighthouse to work. That is the path you chose. You want to earn dollars for wealth, and I can't do anything to you.

But a son will not despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog will not despise his family's poverty. Don't stop those people with conscience from forgetting their oaths like you."

Li Ye suddenly stretched out his palm and gently slapped Xia Zhemin's face, making a "pa pa pa" sound.

"The motherland spent precious foreign exchange to give you the opportunity to further your studies, but you insult her, spit on her, and despise her like a mad dog. That's not okay!"

"."

Xia Zhemin was stunned by Li Ye's "big pot sticker".

Although Li Ye's force was very light and did not leave any marks on his face, under the gaze of hundreds of people, this was an unbearable humiliation.

But when he was angry and wanted to fight Li Ye to death, he was scared away by Li Ye's knife-like eyes.

When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reason. Xia Zhemin feels that Li Ye is now a barefoot bandit soldier holding a machete, ready to attack him at any time.

So, Xia Zhemin forcefully brought out his backer: "I warn you, this is not the mainland, this is a lighthouse, I will sue you."

Li Ye smiled and took out a business card from his pocket with Elena's name and phone number printed on it.

"Call my lawyer! I am very happy to help you deeply understand the class rules of this civilized world, so that you can understand clearly which class you belong to."

"."

Xia Zhemin was confused.

Isn't he a "barefoot soldier rogue?"

Who is wearing shoes?
