These years are the era of rapid development of the coastal economy, and it is the era when the coastal business is relatively easy to do, and there is no need for any knowledge and culture to make money, because there are many labor-intensive industries in the coastal areas, and various assembly line processing plants have sprung up one after another.

Nie Hongbing seized the loophole of this era, he was a junior high school student, first in Dongguan bathing center as a waiter, and then in a hardware factory as an apprentice, as an apprentice for a few years, after saving some money, he bought a few second-hand machines, found a small façade to make a hardware accessories workshop, in recent years, Dongguan's hardware industry market tends to be stable, Nie Hongbing's hardware accessories processing workshop is getting bigger and bigger, after two years, he actually expanded the scale and opened a hardware factory.

The scale of the small factory is not large, and it still raises dozens of workers, and the annual turnover is still several million, Nie Hongbing has changed from a wage earner to a small boss, and the huge change in his identity and role makes him a little fluttery.

Zhou Yan followed Nie Hongbing to work and work hard, and now she is a full-time wife, her husband has earned money, and her mentality has begun to tremble.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang and Li Qingping, Nie Hongbing and Zhou Yan's expressions looked very cold, as if it was embarrassing to sit next to Zhang Xiaoqiang and Li Qingping.

Nie Hongbing and Zhou Yan's indifferent attitude, Zhang Xiaoqiang and Li Qingping didn't care at all, the living grade and ideological realm of the two of them were much higher than Nie Hongbing and Zhou Yan, and they didn't care about the face of this kind of low-level boss.

When he was studying, the relationship between Nie Hongbing and Zhang Xiaoqiang was not very good, and once in an exam, Nie Hongbing wanted to plagiarize Zhang Xiaoqiang's test papers, but Zhang Xiaoqiang did not agree, and Nie Hongbing held a grudge against Zhang Xiaoqiang.

The relationship between Zhou Yan and Li Qingping is not very good, when she was in junior high school, Li Qingping's father was a civil servant in the town government, and Zhou Yan's family opened a non-staple food store in the town, and the two of them were girls with better economic conditions in the class, and the girls were jealous of each other, resulting in a very delicate relationship between the two.

I haven't seen each other for so many years, it stands to reason that when old classmates meet, those little "resentments" in the past should have disappeared long ago, and the competition and victory in youth are very naïve and funny.

Zhang Xiaoqiang and Li Qingping can afford to put it down, but Nie Hongbing and Zhou Yan put on a dead face, and Zhang Xiaoqiang and Li Qingping will not put their hot faces on their cold butts.

Zhang Xiaoqiang and Li Qingping's indifferent attitude made Nie Hongbing and Zhou Yan quite unhappy, they finally pretended to compare, and wanted someone to take care of them, but Zhang Xiaoqiang and Li Qingping ignored them, which made them feel like a punch on cotton.

Nie Hongbing said in a strange manner: "Zhang Xiaoqiang, I heard that you were admitted to the university, and then dropped out, where are you going to be?"

"Just at home, just do something. Zhang Xiaoqiang replied casually.

Nie Hongbing and Liu Sheng's attitudes are completely different.

The old squad leader Liu Sheng's question was a kind of basic concern and greeting to the old classmates, and Zhang Xiaoqiang replied to do something in the province.

Nie Hongbing's question was obviously pretending, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and casually said that he would do something at home.

What Nie Hongbing didn't know was that what Zhang Xiaoqiang was doing at home was something he couldn't catch up with in his life, not to mention anything else, that is, the fine wine and peach blossom brewing he produced could bring hundreds of millions of income every year, which was beyond Nie Hongbing's reach.

Nie Hongbing obviously misunderstood Zhang Xiaoqiang's words, he thought that Zhang Xiaoqiang said that doing something casually at home was a euphemism for his career to be unsettled, after all, people who also grew up in Qingxi Town know that it is difficult to develop industries in poor areas like Qingxi Town.

Nie Hongbing said: "In this way, it's good in my hometown, the mountains and water in my hometown are good, the air is good, I stay outside for a long time, I like the environment in my hometown, although there are many opportunities to make a fortune in big cities, but I really like the living environment in big cities, or our hometown is good, I envy you for living a down-to-earth ......life in your hometown."

Nie Hongbing's words sounded very modest, but his demeanor and tone were everywhere pretending, Zhang Xiaoqiang sneered in his heart, you pretend, pretend hard, the master is too lazy to pay attention to you.

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't talk, Nie Hongbing thought that Zhang Xiaoqiang had low self-esteem.

Nie Hongbing continued: "However, the money in my hometown is not easy to earn, Zhang Xiaoqiang, do you want to work hard in a big city?"

"What, when you go to a big city to work hard, do you take Xiaoqiang with you?" Li Qingping seemed to be in a good mood, knowing that Nie Hongbing was pretending, she also smiled and accosted a sentence.

Nie Hongbing said proudly: "As long as Zhang Xiaoqiang is interested, I can help him ......"

"How can you help him?" asked Li Qingping curiously.

Nie Hongbing said: "I can introduce him to the company as a security guard, as an apprentice, by the way, Zhang Xiaoqiang, can you drive, you can go to my company, drive me to deliver goods, everyone is an old classmate, I will definitely not treat you badly in terms of salary, I will give you two thousand five a month, including food and accommodation, what do you think?"

"Poof!" Li Qingping couldn't help but laughed.

This Nie Hongbing is too funny, he actually asked Xiaoqiang to drive a truck for him?

"Zhang Xiaoqiang, are you interested......" Nie Hongbing looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang and asked.

Zhang Xiaoqiang remained silent, in Nie Hongbing's opinion, it was a manifestation of Zhang Xiaoqiang's extreme inferiority.

Nie Hongbing definitely thinks that Zhang Xiaoqiang can't earn much money in his hometown, he is a factory owner outside, and he has a sense of superiority in front of a peasant class like Zhang Xiaoqiang.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said lightly: "I'm not interested!"

"What? You're not interested? Do you think my salary is lowering for you?" Nie Hongbing asked.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said lightly: "Yes, the salary is too low. ”

"Then how much do you want, you make a price, as long as it is reasonable, I will give it to you, everyone is an old classmate, I can help you, I will definitely help you, my Nie Hongbing is still a person who values feelings......" Nie Hongbing took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes and handed one to Zhang Xiaoqiang.

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't take the cigarette, but looked at Nie Hongbing, stretched out five fingers and said, "I want so many months, can you afford it?"

"Five thousand? It's okay, five thousand is five thousand!" Nie Hongbing said with a smile.

In fact, the general monthly salary of truck drivers outside is seven or eight thousand, and Zhang Xiaoqiang has earned five thousand Nie Hongbing.

"I'm sorry, I want 500 million, 500 million a month, can you afford me?" Zhang Xiaoqiang said with a serious expression.

"Five hundred million?" Nie Hongbing was taken aback and said, "Zhang Xiaoqiang, what are you kidding." ”

"I'm not kidding, you don't have so much money, don't pretend to be ...... in front of me," Zhang Xiaoqiang said lightly, taking out a cigarette and smoking it.
