Fifth Machinery Department, conference room.
No one could give him a definite answer. In the process of everyone looking at each other and thinking, the old man wearing reading glasses finally hesitated for a moment, considered his words and said:
"Old Liu, if you are talking about the business between Red Star Machinery Factory and Tanzania, is it possible?"
"Then I think there is still a certain possibility."
"Even in my opinion, to a certain extent, the probability is not low!"
His voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room. Under everyone's gaze, the old man pushed up his reading glasses and then continued:
"First of all, the first question is whether Wang Ye's telegram can be approved by Kikwete."
"But based on what has happened, it can be inferred that Wang Ye has gained Kikwete's trust to a certain extent, so Kikwete has no reason to be too resistant to Wang Ye's follow-up opinions."
"Besides, Wang Ye also said that this is a mutually beneficial and win-win plan. In theory, Kikwete has no reason to refuse, and this person is very smart, and he can understand the joints."
"Secondly, what kind of benefits can Kikwete extract from this change in Tanzania, what position has he achieved, and how much influence does he have on Tanzania's top leaders are the second questions."
"There is currently little news about changes in Tanzania, and a more detailed analysis cannot be made."
"But in the end, since Kikwete can send telegrams again, there is a high probability that he will be one of the final beneficiaries of the conflict, so the final impact may only be on the scale of cooperation, not whether cooperation can be carried out."
"The last problem is the international influence, such as the United States and the Soviet Union, which may have uncontrollable effects on our subsequent transactions."
"But I think if the first two issues can be properly advanced, we can find a solution for the last issue!"
As soon as the old man wearing reading glasses finished speaking, the irritable old man next to him snorted and said:
"What do they do? If we hit it off with Tanzania."
"The rest are nothing to be afraid of!"
As soon as the square-faced old man finished speaking, many people in the conference room nodded in agreement, and even a skinny old man couldn't help but sigh with longing in his eyes:
"Yes, if this business in Tanzania can work, then I think it will be a success!"
"In Wang Ye's words, we can continue to expand the market in the future!"
"We have so many friends in Asia, Africa and Latin America. I see that many countries have needs similar to those in Tanzania. When the time comes we can visit them door to door, don't you think so?"
"There are always needs in so many countries!"
After hearing the words of this skinny old man, the expressions on the faces of many people present became wonderful. After all, if we can only cooperate with Tanzania, maybe in addition to Wang Ye's side, we can save at most three people. Five third-tier factories.
But if the number of partners for cooperation in the future can be increased, and those "friends" who have a good relationship with China are included, the scale will be completely different!
Two hundred third-tier factories? It may not be enough by then!
"Yes, yes! I think this is a good idea!"
"I didn't expect that we would also play the trick of vacating the cage and replacing the birds. Once the old equipment is disposed of, we will have foreign exchange and free up space. Wouldn't it be better for development?"
"Hahaha, what are you talking about? This is called the industrial cycle of third world countries around the world!"
"But Tanzania was negotiated by Wang Ye. If we really do this, will we let the factory do it on its own, or will we take care of it?"
"Hey, let's take a step and take a look! It's too early to say this now!"
While everyone was discussing with each other excitedly, the kind old man who finally sat at the head of the table gently knocked on the table. After the conference room gradually became quiet, he glanced around and said:
"So let's wait and see how Tanzania will respond!"
"I estimate it will take three to five days before the news comes back."
"If the final news is confirmed, I hope to include Hongxing Machinery Factory in our third-tier factory research activities next month and make it the first stop of our research."
"I want to meet Wang Ye in person and have a good talk with him!"
"Obviously, I think he had already made plans in his mind when he took the initiative to ask for the job!"
Almost everyone present agreed with this statement. After all, Wang Ye's series of operations were so smooth. It is impossible to say that he had no premeditation!
at the same time.
Laiyang, Hongxing Machinery Factory.
After Wang Ye paid today's wages to the eight girls, he ordered Li Baojun next to him:
"Baojun, please invite all the brains from the machinery factory and manufacturing plant to the big conference room."
"I have a meeting later."
Li Baojun nodded and left. A moment later, Wang Ye came to the large conference room on the second floor of the machinery factory's office building. At this moment, nearly thirty people were waiting in the conference room.
On both sides of the huge old conference table, on the right side are the people from the machinery factory, headed by the Big Six, all of whom are older; on the left side are the monitors of the manufacturing plant, all of whom are extremely young.
"Sales of electric fans and washing machines are good."
"So we have a phased meeting to determine the work for the next period of time."
After Wang Ye sat down, he went straight to the core of the meeting. The expressions of the people sitting on both sides were quite excited, and some even opened their small notebooks and were ready to start recording.
"Let me talk about the manufacturing plant first. The electric fans and washing machines had a good start today."
"But this is by no means a reason to be complacent, nor is it a time to relax our pride, because with the launch of our electric fans and washing machines, many factories in this city and even Luqi Province will learn the news."
"The technology of these two things is not high. If these factories enter the market, it will have a great impact on our future sales."
Regarding Wang Ye's statement, the young people in the manufacturing plant nodded their heads, because they produce electric fans and washing machines, and they understand that the technical difficulty is not high.
Then Wang Ye continued:
"So, what we have to do next is very simple, which is to increase the production speed!"
"Some time ago, we were in a half-operation state due to lack of capital, but the shifts also made everyone familiar with the production process. Then, with the first income and the batch of materials from the municipal committee, we can start full operation !”
"The next key point, the first point, is to complete the delivery of the official purchase order within the time required by the municipal party committee."
"The second point is that there is sufficient supply of electric fans for sale across the city. After all, it is now the end of June, and there are still two months until September. This is the peak season for electric fans, and we must seize it."
"The third point is that in order to restrain competitors that may appear in the future, we must occupy the market in advance."
"With Laiyang as the center, it radiates to the entire Luqi Province."
"By the end of this summer, as long as our products can occupy the shelves of department stores everywhere, the following manufacturers will already be at a disadvantage when their electric fans are put on the shelves next year!"
Along with Wang Ye's voice, the young men and women sitting on the left had serious expressions. The childish feeling they had some time ago was gradually leaving them.
"However, it is not easy to get it on the shelves of department stores."
"On the one hand, I will ask Director Li to help coordinate. On the other hand, I need you to go on a field trip and make specific contacts."
Having said this, Wang Ye coughed slightly, then looked at Li Baojun and said:
"So, Baojun, I appointed you as the sales section chief to be responsible for the subsequent department store docking work. Are there any problems? Can you do it?"
Under Wang Ye's gaze, Li Baojun suddenly stood up and shouted seriously:
"No problem! We can do it!"
Wang Ye nodded, his eyes moved on the face of the young man on the left, and then said:
"Zhang Yue, you are the most careful and reliable, and you are also sensitive to numbers, so I appointed you as the financial section chief to take charge of the financial power of our manufacturing plant. If you have any questions that you don't understand, please ask Section Chief Su!"
As soon as Wang Ye finished speaking, Zhang Yue stood up and said "yes", while Su, the finance section chief of the machinery factory sitting opposite, nodded and said he was welcome to ask.
"Xu Leilei, you are the most down-to-earth in work and the most demanding in yourself."
"So I appointed you as the production section chief to take charge of the current production of electric fans and washing machines in the manufacturing plant."
Xu Leilei stood up with a red face and a thick neck, and responded loudly. Finally, Wang Ye focused on Sun Xiuli, showed a smile and said:
"Xiuli, your task is the heaviest and most arduous!"
"Our electric fans are seasonal products, and sales will be greatly reduced in autumn and winter, and washing machines alone cannot support our entire manufacturing plant."
"So I appointed you as the technical section chief. You are responsible for forming your own team and responsible for our new product development."
"For example, the TVs, refrigerators, radios, tape recorders, rice cookers and other products I mentioned before. Of course, if you have any thoughts and ideas, you can report them to me and try them out."
"Also, I know these products are still difficult for you now."
"So I will make a list for you. You go to the Yuntai City Library and buy these books if you can, and borrow them if you can. Get them back and study hard, make the most basic technical reserves, and then start with the simplest ones. do you understand?"
"Night classes will continue to be held in the future, and I will teach you in person."
Faced with such great trust from Wang Ye, the delicate-looking Sun Xiuli's cheeks were a little red, and she nodded seriously and said "yes"!
Then, Wang Ye looked to the right.
"How is the production progress of our gas tanks and steel pipe rockets?"
Hearing Wang Ye's question, the production section chief said without hesitation:
"Currently, more than 3,400 gas tanks have been produced, and more than 2,500 steel pipe rockets have been produced."
Then Wang Ye looked at the technical section chief and asked:
"How is our engine doing? Have you had any difficulties recently?"
It was easy for Wang Ye to draw the design, but it was difficult to produce it. Even though Wang Ye had considered the production and processing capabilities of the machinery factory and the production line, there were still problems during the trial production process.
Finally, after several revisions, research, and adjustments, the primary model was finalized and trial production is underway.
"The overall situation is going smoothly, and the prototype will be ready in a few days!"
The technical section chief, who is responsible for the engine and has a team of over 30 engine engineers who have become monks, said with a smile.
"very good!"
Wang Ye nodded, picked up a volume of design drawings in front of him, unfolded them and said:
"Then let's discuss the new products, three special fire-fighting equipment."
"As supporting equipment for our fire patrol aircraft."
In an instant, everyone's attention was attracted by the drawing in Wang Ye's hand. Under everyone's gaze, Wang Ye unfolded the drawing and hung it on the small blackboard next to him.
The next second, the production section chief was delighted!
"Is this a sniper rifle? Is this a machine gun? What is this last one? A revolver?"
Accompanied by the voice of the production section chief, and amid the puzzled and frowning expressions of everyone else, the old factory director couldn't help but banged his cigarette pot and cursed with a smile:
"It's only been a few days since the army was transferred to civilian life, and you've already become so clumsy?"
"These three things have a caliber larger than 40mm. How can they be guns? That's nonsense!"
