While everyone was having a meeting in the conference room, at the stairwell on the second floor and even in the open space outside the office building, many factory workers and their families couldn't help but leave and come back again, pricking up their ears and trying to eavesdrop.
"Can you hear me? What did you say?"
At the entrance of the stairs, there were all the middle-level people of the machinery factory, that is, the team leaders and monitors of the workshops. They couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"I can't hear you. How about we go forward?"
"Don't dare to make mistakes! I guess it's almost over, right? We'll know then."
"We are all going to be converted from military to civilian, so why do we need to pay so much attention?"
"Bah! Rules are rules. As long as we are a military factory, we must keep confidentiality all day!"
"Forget it! Forget it! Smoking! Smoking!"
As a military factory, Red Star Machinery Factory is naturally different from ordinary state-owned factories. Confidentiality is the most basic rule. For example, the large conference room on the second floor will only be used when important meetings are held, and everyone on the entire floor must be evacuated. No eavesdropping.
It is for this reason that this group of middle-level people are guarding the stairs, because going further is the "red line". If you cross it, you are eavesdropping, you are not abiding by the confidentiality policy, and you are making a mistake!
"Alas! Although this factory director Xiao Wang is a graduate student at Huaqing, a serious top student."
"But why do I feel so unreliable?"
"Too young! Really too young! He feels about the same age as my kid."
"Is this reliable?"
Finally, a middle-aged man with long arms and legs sighed, sat directly on the stairs, and said this with a sigh.
Then he fumbled for a small black bag from his pocket, took out the square strips of newspaper that had been cut in advance, pinched a handful of khaki tobacco, rolled up a "trumpet" with his saliva. After applying it, he pulled off the tail and put it in his mouth, lit the big head, and started smoking. The slightly choking smell of smoke mixed with the faint scent of newspaper ink reverberated in the air.
Seeing him like this, the others also lost interest in eavesdropping, and took out their own things. For a moment, the corridor was full of smoke, and one of them, a short but capable middle-aged man, joked and laughed:
"Lao Hu, let me ask you, do you think Factory Director Xiao Wang is unreliable?"
"Then if your boy gets admitted to Huaqing and returns to our machinery factory to be the director, do you think it's reliable or not?"
Hearing what the short and capable middle-aged man said, under the gaze of others, the middle-aged man smoking a newspaper cigarette was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be deeply convinced of this hypothesis. His son was admitted to Huaqing and was going to come back as a student. Factory director......
The next second, I saw him laughing and cursing directly:
"He dares! If he dares to come back, I won't beat him to death with the sole of my shoe! Are you crazy, a top student from Huaqing, to come back to our Red Star Machinery Factory?"
"He's a bastard. If I don't beat him, he won't be able to get off the ground. My surname is not Hu!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of suppressed laughter at the stairs, and someone laughed directly:
"It's okay, Old Hu, don't be angry."
"Your kid won't pass the exam, hahaha!"
Amid everyone's laughter, the short and capable middle-aged man chuckled and said:
"So I say! It's useless for us to worry. It's better to trust Factory Director Xiao Wang."
"At least his determination and courage are really beyond the reach of ordinary people. And since the country dares to let him come, it means it believes in him. Why should we be worried here?"
"Besides, even if it doesn't work out, Factory Director Xiao Wang will have a bright future. If the leaders don't look at monks and Buddhas, they will take care of us to some extent, right?"
"You guys are right, right?"
Regarding this analysis, everyone present nodded and said it made sense.
at the same time.
The ordinary workers and their families in the open space in front of the small building couldn't help but stand or sit, waiting for the news, and talking among themselves. I saw a group of women doing sewing and sewing talking about what they were talking about first. .
"I said, if our army is successfully converted into civilians, and the salary can be paid in full, and there may even be bonuses, how are you going to spend the money?"
"Meihua, you say it first!"
Hearing this voice, the woman called Plum Blossom hesitated, turned to look at the five or six-year-old boy next to her, who was still wearing crotchless pants that had been sewn, mended, and mended. She scratched her head from the end of the needle and said:
"First cut a few feet of good cloth to make new clothes for the dog."
"Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pound of fat meat, at least the fat one with four fingers, and grill it with some oil. Niuniu and my family have been craving for the oil, pickled cabbage dumplings for a long time, and the remaining meat oil can wait for stewing in the winter. vegetable."
"Oh! By the way, buy another bottle of Wulong Daqu for the one I have at home. The previous bottle has been finished for a long time."
Along with the sound of plum blossoms, the other women also looked elated and couldn't help but discuss enthusiastically.
"Hey? After talking about children and men, why don't you take care of yourself?"
"That's it, if you ask me, at least buy a really good half-sleeved shirt! I saw someone wearing it when I went to the market, ya ya ya! That's so cool!"
"Yes, yes! Let's go together then!"
"I can't bear to go with you. I heard it's so valuable!"
At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from the window on the second floor. Suddenly everyone stopped talking and even stood up, looking at the window hopefully, waiting for good news.
at the same time.
In the conference room inside the window, after all the agreement documents were signed, the one-armed old man Zhao stood up and said excitedly:
"Now that the documents are done, let's hurry up and produce samples?"
Of course, the three of them had no objections to this suggestion. For Wang Ye, he had been looking forward to this plan for many days since he formulated it a few days ago. For Liang Jinsong and Li Gang, they also looked forward to this kind of change. Flammable and explosive gas tank!
After all, the explosion test can only be carried out after the gas tank is made. Only when the explosion test is successful and the power meets expectations can subsequent business be done easily.
"Okay! Old Zhao, please lead the way!"
"It's still early, I think we can get it done today!"
Liang Jinsong looked quite high-spirited and said directly with a wave of his hand.
After a while, the door of the conference room opened, and the group of people at the stairway hurriedly gathered around, asking all kinds of questions:
"Boss directors, is the meeting over? What should we do?"
"Old factory director, has the state assigned us production tasks?"
"Director Xiao Wang, what we do in the future will all depend on your orders!"
Amidst the noise of the crowd, the old factory director, Old Man Zhao, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then explained:
"The state has not assigned us production tasks."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present suddenly changed. The joy just now was no longer there. Just when they were about to ask something, the old factory director smiled and continued:
"But our factory director Xiao Wang designed a new product for us."
"This kind of product is not just produced and sold in the market, but also exported abroad to generate foreign exchange!"
"Everyone knows that when it comes to creating foreign exchange, those units are so fat that they even emit oil when they fart!"
In an instant, the dimmed eyes of everyone present sparkled again. After all, Luqi Province has been earning foreign exchange for two years. Everyone knows that the local finance subsidizes according to the market exchange rate, and this has also caused the foreign exchange earning unit to become the envy of everyone. The presence!
"Really? What product is it?"
"As expected of a top student from Huaqing! Factory Director Xiao Wang is awesome!"
Amidst the excitement and simple compliments, the old factory director mysteriously took out the notebook with the drawings, opened it and showed it to everyone. In an instant, everyone who was originally smiling was stunned again!
"Old...old factory director, this is an aerial bomb, right? This is arms! Exporting arms...is this okay?"
The short and capable middle-aged man swallowed his saliva and just started to speak, when the old factory director stopped him with a straight face and said:
"Don't talk nonsense, this is a gas tank! Anyone who dares to say it's a bomb, be careful I slap him!"
"Let's go to the machine shop. We will make this sample tonight!"
"Don't ask anything else!"
The old factory director was as majestic as a general. Although everyone was still confused, their long-standing habit still made them shut up obediently. They followed the old factory director to the machine processing workshop while looking at each other.
