at the same time.
Just when Wang Ye was busy paying wages to the girls.
In a conference room of the Fifth Machinery Department in Yanjing, an old man with a round face and a kind-hearted appearance was sitting at the top. He had a faint smile on his face and was writing something on the notebook in front of him.
The door of the conference room was pushed open from time to time, and people kept coming in.
"I said, Lao Zhou, you can still laugh?"
"Look! Take a good look! Nearly a month has passed, and our work team stationed in the factory has not only problems but also difficulties!"
"well!"
At this moment, a middle-aged and elderly man with a square face and deep nasolabial folds and gray hair walked in. Following his voice, he slapped a document on the table and sighed heavily.
Seeing this scene, an old man with reading glasses who had already sat down next to him smiled and said:
"Old Liu, why are you so restless?"
"It's only been a month. Half of it has passed since I got to know familiar people, got to know the basics, and investigated the market."
"Aren't they all problems and difficulties in the end? If there is nothing, I think it would be abnormal! If there is really nothing, then our third-tier factories are not a burden, but a wealth!"
"If it is false, it means that everyone is still doing the exaggerated thing, reporting good news but not bad news!"
"Such a reform is impossible to succeed!"
Hearing the voice of the old man with reading glasses, voices of approval rang out in the conference room that was already mostly occupied. Of course, there were also some worried voices.
"That's the truth, but the problem is, we don't have much time!"
"That's right! Recently, the economic department has been sending letters asking questions every day, not every other day."
"Hmph! Are you listening to them? They even threatened that all these factories should be cut down! Can we really stop doing national defense? Bullshit!"
"Hahaha! Look! Old Liang is so anxious that he says bad words! Hey, we are too anxious and can't help it!"
"I see what it means. We must have a definite plan for major changes by the end of this year at the latest. Otherwise, we really don't know what we will do next year!"
"Is there anything from the army? What are they going to do?"
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, but the round-faced and kind old man sitting at the top kept his head down and wrote something without saying a word until the conference room was almost filled with more than a dozen people and the time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Everyone is here, right? Everyone is here, let's have a meeting!"
The old man sitting at the front finally put down his pen, raised his head and glanced around, saying this with a smile on his face.
"Look! Look! Look how calm Lao Zhou is!"
"If I had his determination, I might have become a minister long ago!"
As soon as the first old man finished speaking, looking at the unhurried appearance of the first old man, the impatient old man with wrinkles couldn't help but made a joke, and instantly the place burst into laughter.
Everyone present was one step away from the minister, so it was okay to joke.
"I heard everything everyone said just now."
"As for the matter of our working team stationed in the factory, we will talk about it at the meeting on Monday. Anyway, the situation is true and there are no lies or concealments. Then we can only criticize them. There is nothing to say."
"I suddenly summoned everyone for a meeting today because of other matters."
"Xiao Zhao, send a copy to everyone for a look!"
Following the voice of the first old man, under the curious eyes of everyone, the secretary next to him said "Hey" and distributed the documents printed in advance to everyone's hands.
"Two million dollars?"
Half of them had just been given out, but the other half, including the old man with nasolabial folds, who had already received the other half, were startled!
"What two million dollars?"
"I said, Lao Liu, can you not be so surprised?"
"Quick, what happened?"
With this voice, the curiosity of the half of the people who had not received the document was immediately filled!
However, they didn't have to be curious for too long, because the impetuous old man with nasolabial folds glanced around the conference room, turned to look at the old man above him, and explained quickly:
"The reform of third-tier factories, in addition to the five factory-based work guidance teams we dispatched."
"Actually, there is another one, and that is the Red Star Machinery Factory in Luqi Province. That boy from Huaqing went there!"
"I was strongly opposed to him going there at first. He's just a young guy who only knows technology but not management. What's he going to do? Isn't he going to cause trouble? In the end, it was only after Lao Zhou nodded that he passed."
"But just two days after I left, this guy just did a wild trick and hit me in the face!"
"The gas tank cost less than ten yuan, but he was forced to sell it for a sky-high price of four hundred dollars. The key point is that African friends are still happy, and I was laughed at by Lao Zhou for several days."
"Local time, the day before yesterday, the situation in Dodoma, the capital of Tanzania, was in chaos. Yesterday, Yanjing time, the telegram from there was sent."
"We need to continue purchasing gas tanks. This time we have doubled the price. We need 5,000 gas tanks for two million US dollars!"
"The key is, Kikwete asked Wang Ye to give him advice!"
"What kind of independent industry are you doing?"
After the old man with the tattoos finished speaking, he glanced around at everyone present with stunned expressions on their faces. Many people were also looking at each other in the same way. Only those who had just received the documents were looking down at them.
"Hey! I even put it in quotation marks. I think this is not just industry. I'm afraid it's not military industry, right?"
"How did Wang Ye deceive Kikwete in the first place?"
"The key is this telegram from Wang Ye. New product? A thousand dollars each. You don't say anything, but you just start trying a thousand units? And you also need to supply and process them to sell well in Africa? A vast market? And a package plan?"
"This guy's loud tone is so scary!"
Just as the old man wearing reading glasses finished sighing with emotion, the old man sitting in the first place coughed lightly and said:
"The new product Wang Ye mentioned should be an 'agricultural product' that they tested before."
"I heard from people in the army that it costs at most thirty to fifty yuan and is produced using water pipe processing. It looks very similar to the Type 81 122mm rocket launcher we are working on."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the conference room was completely speechless and looked at each other, including the grumpy old man with nasolabial tattoos, who could only open and close his mouth.
Under everyone's gaze, the first old man's face showed a light of hope and said:
"Actually, today, I just want to discuss one possibility!"
"If the future development is really as Wang Ye said, can our third-tier factories continue to produce various parts, not only to support themselves, but also to earn foreign exchange for the country?"
"Even for some third-tier factories that really need to be transformed, can all the equipment of the factory be exported as a whole?"
"Does this create a virtuous cycle?"
As soon as the first old man finished speaking, everyone sitting here became uneasy!
There was silence in the room, but it could be seen from everyone's faces that their hearts were not peaceful!
Nowadays, the work of converting the military to civilians is imminent and has to be launched. The time left for the Ministry of 5th Ministry of Machinery and the Ministry of National Defense is getting shorter and shorter. The country’s future work focus will shift to economic construction, and these bottlenecks must be dealt with. dropped.
As for these people present, those existences that countless people call "oil bottlers" were built with hard work by them. They were also built by countless people who sacrificed their lives and blood and left their hometowns for the sake of this country!
Therefore, how to better transform third-tier factories instead of cutting them off roughly is the common pursuit and dream of these people.
It is precisely because of this that they were so uneasy when they heard this.
Because this is a new possibility and direction!
What's more important is that this possibility and direction is not just talk on paper, it has a certain success rate!
"Do you think it can be done?"
After a few seconds of silence, the impatient old man with the nasolabial tattoos glanced around and asked with hesitation on his face.
