Hearing what Director Li said, Wang Ye, who was holding the tea cup, was stunned for a second, and then he couldn't help but laughed out loud. He never expected that Director Li would serve him as soon as he fell asleep. Got a pillow?
"What? What's so funny about this?"
"Wang Ye, what do you think about collective reforms in factories and offices?"
"Think this problem is easy to solve?"
Seeing Wang Ye actually smiling, Director Li suddenly felt that the stone in his heart had fallen to the ground!
In fact, yesterday, Director Li had been struggling with the issue of collective reform in factory offices. Just when he had no ideas for a long time, he received the news that Wang Ye had successfully earned foreign exchange, and suddenly he had an inspiration!
Since I have no ideas, and Wang Ye obviously has novel ideas, why not ask him what he thinks?
After all, for a leader, knowing people well and taking charge of them is the most important ability, and since Wang Ye is his subordinate, it is legitimate and reasonable to use this question to test him.
In fact, although the province did require large-scale collective reform of factory management, the Red Star Machinery Factory was still undergoing military-to-civilian conversion, so it was not included in the list of the first round of reforms. Instead, the steel factory in Laiyang County bore the brunt.
"Director Li, we are still in the process of transforming the military into civilians!"
"You have immediately arranged for the reform of large-scale collectives in factories and offices. Isn't this adding insult to injury and forcing others to face difficulties?"
"Why don't you find another company first and let us slow down?"
Wang Ye suppressed his laughter, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. At the same time, he did not directly answer Director Li's question. Instead, he asked the question with a smile.
Hearing what Wang Ye said, Director Li put down his teacup angrily and said;
"We just earned 400,000 U.S. dollars in foreign exchange. According to the reward, this is a full 5.2 million! Do you dare to say that you are adding insult to injury? Where does the snow come from? Where does the frost come from? I only see that you are extremely rich!"
"Okay, let's stop being pretentious. What do you want? Tell us!"
Director Li, who has been in politics for many years, couldn't tell that Wang Ye was "crying for help" from his poverty.
This is also a common situation for lower-level units. Although the Red Star Machinery Factory has indeed succeeded in earning foreign exchange, this is essentially the credit of Wang Ye and has no direct relationship with the Industrial Bureau. Furthermore, they have created so much foreign exchange, so they should open the door, and they themselves Wang Ye was indeed "asking for something", and it was natural for him to be teased, so Director Li didn't hold back and went straight to the point.
"Since you said so, I won't be polite."
"Although our gas tanks are not a planned production task, they are still generating foreign exchange for the country, so can you please batch the planned steel?"
"We don't want more, just two thousand tons."
As expected, Wang Ye was not polite, he raised two fingers and said this, while Director Li was laughed out of anger and cursed with a smile:
"Two thousand tons? Do you think this is winter radish and cabbage?"
"Besides, if you produce a thousand gas tanks in total, can you use two thousand tons of steel?"
"Isn't it enough to get the public goods?"
Regarding Director Li's bad attitude and accusations, Wang Ye smiled and didn't care. He took out a cigarette and handed it over and said:
"As you said, there are two thousand gas tanks now. Who knows if there will be 20,000 gas tanks in the future?"
"Besides, you also said this is public property, right?"
"If you give it to us, you can at least generate foreign exchange for the country. What can you do for others? Let's take the Laiyang Iron and Steel Plant. Are they going to use it to make hoes? The value is hugely different!"
"Are you right?"
Although Wang Ye sounded like he was quibbling, there was indeed a certain truth. Besides, Red Star Machinery Factory did not dare to take the steel to the black market and resell it. It would definitely not be wasted in the end, so Director Li knocked on the table and said :
"Up to five hundred tons. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, forget it. There's no need to talk!"
Wang Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this number. In fact, his target was only one or two hundred tons. He didn't expect Director Li to be so generous. He nodded quickly and said:
"Okay, okay! Five hundred tons, five hundred tons."
"Hurry up and write a note, sign it and seal it!"
"I want steel coils, not steel ingots! Otherwise, I have to find a steel factory to process them, and they will definitely be peeled off by then."
"Write it all down, or else they'll stuff it with scrap metal."
While speaking, Wang Ye diligently brought a pen and paper to serve him, as if he was afraid that Director Li would regret it. Seeing this scene, Director Li became even more angry. While writing the note, he said angrily:
"Really, can I still regret it? It's good to have it, but there are so many demands, and I have to sign a written statement on the spot?"
"You are the only one in our Yuntai City!"
After a while, a note worth 500 tons of steel was written. Under the frightened eyes of the six giants of the machinery factory, Director Li looked angrily and patted the note into Wang Ye's arms and said:
"Can we talk now? How are you going to reform?"
Wang Ye looked at the note leisurely, made sure there was no problem, handed it to the old factory director, and told him to keep it carefully, and then looked at the old factory director and asked:
"Old senior, how many people are there in our factory's large group at present?"
Faced with this problem, the faces of the six giants of the machinery factory present became increasingly ugly. The old factory director hesitated and said:
"In total, it should be more than a thousand, specifically..."
"It should be 1,378 people."
Having said this, he quickly waved his left arm and said:
"Director Li, little factory director, we don't want to do this, but, we really can't help it!"
"There are only so many establishments in total, but there are more and more people in the factory from generation to generation. The country seems to have forgotten us. The establishment has not increased, the old will not retire, and the children have to rest. It is not an option, so we have to That’s what it’s like…”
Hearing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but sigh secretly.
In today's era, college students like Wang Ye, or technical secondary school students, or normal school students are assigned jobs by the state after graduation, while young people who have not studied hard have to find their own way to work.
Fortunately for those in the village, at least they can farm, and the state will allocate homesteads and grain fields.
But it’s more difficult in the city. Nowadays, the country has just opened up and self-employed people have just emerged. Most people are employees of state-owned enterprises. It is really difficult to find a job.
Some parents even have no choice but to retire early when their children are in their forties because their children are getting married and have no jobs, or even because they are not respectable enough to work as temporary workers, so that their children can inherit their jobs. This is called taking over the job.
Under such circumstances, large collective enterprises have to get bigger and bigger. They are all the tears of the times!
"Old-timer, I understand."
Director Li sighed, finally looked at Wang Ye and said:
"Stop being so pretentious, just talk about it!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye, who was puffing away smoke and puffing away smoke, coughed lightly and said:
"It's very simple. You just need to approve the contracting of the large collective enterprise of the machinery factory to me!"
"All problems are solved."
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded!
