It's half past nine in the evening.
Hongxing Machinery Factory, the director's office, the dim light can still be seen from outside.
"Tuk-tuk!"
Following the knock on the door, Wang Ye turned around and shouted:
"Please come in!"
The old factory manager pushed the door in and saw Wang Ye standing by the wall looking at a map. He said with a casual smile:
"I just came back today. You have been busy for so many days. Why don't you take a rest early?"
"I came up to take a look because the lights in the office were still on. By the way, I want to tell you that our last batch of supplies to Tanzania will be sent out tomorrow morning."
"When we arrive at Qindao Port, we can arrange delivery!"
Hearing what the old factory director said, Wang Ye took the lead slightly, and then said with a smile:
"I'm sorry to trouble you during this period of time. You have to take care of everything."
"After delivering this batch of goods from Kikwit, we will start rolling delivery and produce orders for the Canton Fair."
The delivery that Wang Ye and the old factory director talked about was the six million US dollars worth of goods that Kikwete later ordered, including 10,000 gas tanks and 2,000 steel pipe rockets, because the machinery factory had a lot of inventory that had been rushed to work in the past. , so the delivery speed this time is relatively fast.
"Hey! What's so hard about this? It's just a matter of doing it step by step."
"On your side, you went to Yangcheng and you seem to have lost a lot of weight. You still need to eat more!"
Then the two exchanged pleasantries. The old factory director noticed that when Wang Ye knocked on the door and came in, he was standing next to the map on the wall. He seemed to be looking at the map, and it was not a global map, not a country or region, or even a map of Luqi Province. , but a map of Laiyang County.
So I couldn't help but walked over and asked curiously:
"I saw you were looking at the map just now. What's wrong?"
"Are you thinking about production line transportation? Or do you have any other ideas?"
Hearing what the old factory director said, Wang Ye smiled and nodded and said:
"Both."
At this point, Wang Ye suddenly picked up the pencil on the table and drew a circle on the map. The entire circle was oval in shape, with the Red Star Machinery Factory at one end and the Laiyang Iron and Steel Plant located around the site at the other end.
Under the suspicious gaze of the old factory director, Wang Ye clicked on the circle on the map with a smile, and then said:
"Believe it or not, we will fill this circle in the future!"
"Use workshops, laboratories, schools, and finally turn this place into a huge industrial park."
"It will become a giant group tens of thousands of times larger than the current Red Star Machinery Factory."
Hearing Wang Ye's voice, the old factory director's face was full of surprise. After all, the distance from Hongxing Machinery Factory to Laiyang Iron and Steel Factory is nearly thirty kilometers even in a straight line!
And if Wang Ye continued to draw this circle, he would include nearly a quarter of Laiyang County!
But even though he was surprised, the old factory director did not question Wang Ye. After all, Wang Ye had said many words and plans that shocked everyone in the past, but didn't all of these plans come true in the end?
So this time, although it still feels outrageous, what if it comes true one day in the future?
At that moment, the old factory director felt his heart beating loudly again. He tried hard to suppress his fantasies about the future, coughed lightly, caught a certain point in Wang Ye's words, and then asked:
"Wang Ye, when you mentioned school just now, you didn't mean junior high school or high school, right?"
"Are you planning to open a school?"
"And what do you mean by group?"
Nowadays, the joint-stock reform of China's state-owned enterprises has only begun on a small scale, and the group reform is not even a thing. The old factory director naturally knows what it means.
Under the gaze of the old factory director, Wang Ye nodded and said:
"Yes, not junior high schools and high schools, but technical secondary schools, junior colleges, and even universities!"
"I think you should also feel it. We are not short of money for the time being, but we are short of people. We are short of workers, lack of skilled workers, lack of senior technical workers, lack of engineers, lack of everything."
"Our diesel engine production line will be ready soon, but we have no workers."
"How does this start?"
"Of course, even if we start to open a school now, it will definitely be too late."
"But we must prepare for a rainy day. In the future, our scale will become larger and larger, and we will need more and more manpower. If we don't train them in advance, we will just be blind by then!"
"Do you think this is true?"
Regarding Wang Ye's statement, the old factory director quickly nodded in agreement and said:
"Yes, yes, that's the truth!"
"Nothing can be accomplished without people. This old man still understands this truth."
"However, our diesel engine production line will probably be in place soon. How is Wang Yeqian going to solve the workers' problem?"
"No, let's talk to Director Li and ask him to order someone?"
It was obvious that the old factory director was most concerned about the diesel engine production line. He had forgotten to ask what the group meant. Wang Ye smiled and waved his hand and said:
"You are right, I am also prepared to ask for someone, but I am not prepared to ask Director Li."
"I'm going to speak to the top!"
Having said this, Wang Ye pointed at it. The meaning was very obvious. Under the slightly puzzled eyes of the old factory director, Wang Ye explained with a smile:
"We in Yuntai City have just a few ineffective factories. What kind of workers can they give us?"
"Let's just say that in our Hongxing Machinery Factory, even if we have no production orders before, but the workers are within the scope of our Yuntai City, they are definitely the best workers. This is no problem."
"Right now, aren't the higher-ups carrying out a pilot project for the reform of third-tier factories? The two big leaders came here a few days ago, and you probably know what the situation is. There are more than 200 third-tier factories across the country, and the higher-ups are worried."
"I open my mouth to them, not only to solve our problems, but also to help them to a certain extent."
"As the saying goes, if you can't solve the problem, then get rid of the person who raised the problem. For the above, the reform of the third-tier factory is the problem, but in essence, the people who raised the problem are the employees of the third-tier factory!"
"Just like our Hongxing Machinery Factory, when equipment stops production and people stop working, the state subsidies are consumed by people eating horses chewing. So if the employees are gone, just the workshop, equipment, machinery, and land factory area will be wasted. It is not a big deal. of."
"Then the problem will disappear naturally, right?"
"And in my opinion, the most valuable assets of third-tier factories are skilled workers, senior technicians, and many engineers."
"At that time, we only want these people, not those messy cadres."
"Isn't it beautiful?"
As Wang Ye spoke, the old factory director couldn't help but open his mouth slightly. Although what Wang Ye said sounded strange, he had to admit that this was the essence of the matter!
"Okay, as long as you have an idea, hahaha!"
Finally, the old factory director suddenly felt that the pressure in his heart had disappeared inexplicably, and he felt so comfortable that he couldn't help laughing.
After chatting for a while, the old factory director left, and Wang Ye looked at the map and sighed, and continued to sit down and work.
the next morning.
At seven o'clock, Director Liang hurriedly took a bite of breakfast and was about to leave. He had to go back and communicate with Commander Song about the engineering troops. After all, time was really tight.
"Okay, I'm leaving, waiting for my good news."
"Maybe if the communication with Commander Song goes smoothly, we will come again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
"Everyone has gone back!"
In the open space in front of the office building, Director Liang waved his hand with a smile, while Wang Ye took out a document bag, handed it to Director Liang and said:
"There's something else I need to trouble you with."
"Please go through the channels and help me pass this document to Mr. Zhou from the Fifth Machinery Department!"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, Director Liang took the document bag doubtfully and felt that there was a thick stack of at least twenty sheets of manuscript paper inside. However, the document bag was not sealed and there was no intention to keep it secret.
"As you can see, this is a plan for the future of our Red Star Machinery Factory."
"I just need help from above!"
After Wang Ye finished speaking, Director Liang nodded and got into the car and said:
"Okay, then I'm leaving and I'll hand it over to you as soon as possible!"
Then Jeep 212 rumbled away, and Wang Ye, who had been away from the machinery factory for half a month, also began to inspect the workshop and production conditions.
Sitting in the car, accompanied by bumps, Director Liang couldn't help but glance at the document bag placed on the seat next to him. Finally, after repeated attempts, he picked up the document bag and pulled out the documents.
"Anyway, he said, you can watch it!"
In the end, Director Liang could not restrain his curiosity and began to read Wang Ye's manuscript.
After a while, Director Liang sometimes showed a surprised expression, then frowned, or couldn't help grinning and sighing loudly, which aroused the curiosity of the driver in front.
In fact, Wang Ye raised three questions in total in the entire document.
The first point.
That is, I hope that the Fifth Machinery Department can help coordinate with the Ministry of Education to see if Hongxing Machinery Factory can be granted a university license. If the university can't do it, then a junior college can do it. If the junior college can't give it, then a technical secondary school can do it.
If that doesn't work, at least give it a name like a workers' and peasants' school. Anyway, it needs to be formal.
Second point.
On July 7, 8, and 9, this year's college entrance examination has ended. Now it is August, and the national college entrance examination enrollment situation has also ended, so Wang Ye hopes that the Ministry of Machinery and Industry can negotiate and communicate with the Ministry of Education. , allowing Hongxing Machinery Factory, which has the reputation of being a school, to re-enroll a group of students based on their rankings from among the college entrance examination candidates who failed the exam.
For this group of students, Hongxing Machinery Factory takes care of their food, food and housing, and even gives them some living expenses.
And the scope is not large, so it will not have much impact. Whether this impact is a good thing or a bad thing, it is within the scope of Luqi Province anyway. Let’s try it for a year first.
Nowadays, whether they are college students, junior college students, or technical secondary school students, they are all admitted based on their scores after the college entrance examination. In a few years, due to the country's overall low literacy rate, low average education level, and lack of cultural workers, etc. Only then would technical secondary schools and junior college normal schools be decentralized to those admitted after the high school entrance examination, and then education for all should be extensively improved. Therefore, in the late 1980s and 1990s, it was common for people who graduated from junior high schools to study normal schools to become teachers at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
Corresponding to the secondary normal college is the higher normal college. The normal college that you enter after the college entrance examination is actually equivalent to the normal university in later generations.
Point three.
Wang Ye hopes that the Fifth Machinery Department and the Ministry of National Defense will find those factories in their affiliated military factories, third-tier factories, and even state-owned factories that are not in good operating conditions and can hardly be saved, but have acceptable levels of workers and engineers, and select them. Allocate some workers.
However, there are three requirements. The first is that only workers and engineers are required, not just administrative cadres, technical cadres are acceptable; the second is that each factory should have no more than fifty people, preferably twenty to thirty people. Best; thirdly, Hongxing Machinery Factory does not necessarily require these people to be selected, but must conduct an interview. However, the round-trip ticket and travel expenses for the interview will be reimbursed by the machine factory.
If the interview is passed, the whole family can move here, only immediate family members.
The first reason why Wang Ye made these demands goes without saying. The second reason is to prevent cliques. Not to mention how honest the workers are, the more honest the workers are, the more they will hug each other to keep warm and greet each other, no matter it is a good group or a bad one. Wang Ye doesn't want to create a group, even if he has problems, he can go to the factory director; as for the third point, it is to prevent someone from cheating.
And with so many conditions put forward, the Fifth Machinery Department and the Ministry of National Defense cannot be allowed to work in vain.
Wang Ye decided to take out at least one-third of the non-critical parts of the 27 million order goods, hand them over to the Fifth Machinery Department and the Ministry of National Defense, and release them to other third-tier factories according to the planned production tasks, and then produce the products. The Hongxing Machinery Factory repurchases it from the Ministry of Machinery and the Ministry of National Defense at a price that is 20% higher than the normal planned price.
To a certain extent, this is a variant of OEM, but with the addition of an intermediary platform, that is, the Fifth Machinery Department and the Ministry of National Defense, the advantage is that it can make a living for those third-tier factories, but it will not make them fat and will not lead to promotion. The fight between friendship and hatred will not breed inertia, completely give up self-exploration and research and development, and just wait for the OEM order from Red Star Machinery Factory.
The Fifth Machinery Department and the Ministry of National Defense can also breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the extra production tasks can reduce the amount of free subsidies.
fourth point.
Wang Ye hopes that the Ministry of 5th Machinery and the Ministry of National Defense will negotiate to send at least one hundred university, college, and technical secondary school students to the Red Star Machinery Factory. Wang Ye also hopes that veteran workers, technicians, and engineers from military factories and scientific research institutes can be rehired. , old researchers.
"call!"
It finally took more than half an hour for Director Liang to finish reading Wang Ye's report.
Even because of concentration, because of smoking, and because of the bumps of the car, Director Liang felt motion sickness. He sighed longly at the end of the scene and couldn't help but sigh to himself:
"Wang Ye, this kid is too ambitious!"
"But, this plan is linked with each other, wonderful! Hahaha!"
Director Liang's laughter echoed in the carriage. Although the driver didn't know what happened, he also laughed and laughed.
at the same time.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Director Li and everyone from the steel factory came hand in hand.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it."
"Since Wang Ye wants to annex the steel plant, and the steel plant has no objection at all, let's start today!"
"I have contacted the Municipal Party Committee and the Industrial Bureau, and staff will come down to help soon."
"what do you think?"
At that moment, looking at the people in the steel factory with slightly flattering smiles, and hearing Director Li's heroic voice with a wave of his hand, Wang Ye suddenly felt like a man who was forcibly pushed into the bridal chamber with a big red flower.
suddenly! You have to do it even if you want to do it, and you have to do it even if you don’t want to do it. You are not mentally prepared at all!
Afterwards, the machine shop became busy.
Along the machinery factory, if you fly eight thousand kilometers west against the direction of the earth's rotation, you will reach Riyadh, the capital of the big dog family.
"What? Someone is pretending to be me?"
"At the China Canton Fair? We have not officially established diplomatic relations with China yet!"
In a separate courtyard, after hearing the staff's report, a handsome man in his thirties wearing a white robe and bare feet said with a frown and slight surprise.
"Yes, Your Highness, the information we have received from many sources is basically true."
"And in the end, all the information converged on a Chinese factory called Red Star Machinery Factory."
"It is said that the products they sell are very interesting!"
