"Mr. Yang, this is Xizhou No. 1 Auto Repair Factory. We, Factory Manager Wang, would like to invite you and the design team of your tannery factory to come to our auto repair factory. We have designed a new model, and your factory has a wide range of automobiles. I would like to ask you to provide some experience in manufacturing bumpers, seats, and rearview mirrors, and at the same time, let’s see if there is any room for cooperation.”
"Oh, thank you, Director Wang, for your kindness. Please tell me when your factory is convenient so that I can take the team to visit." Yang Liufang said a little excitedly.
"We here hope that the sooner the better."
"Then let's do it tomorrow, rain or shine."
"Okay, then we welcome Mr. Yang to visit tomorrow."
The next morning, Yang Liufang drove two cars and a group of six people to the Xizhou No. 1 Auto Repair Factory. Through the introduction of the development history in the exhibition hall, Yang Liufang learned that this was an old machinery factory founded in 1936. During the liberation of Xizhou in 2001, he used his own advantages to repair guns, artillery, automobiles and other equipment for the People's Liberation Army. He also braved stray bullets from the Kuomintang to repair the Yellow River iron bridge that was burned down when they retreated. The more you look at it, the more familiar it becomes. When I first came to Xizhou to start my own business, those rickety buses painted with red, blue and white lanes were produced here. It’s just that they are rarely seen in recent years. Xizhou City is running new buses produced by other provinces and cities. Looking at the leader's profile, we can see that the name of Factory Director Wang is indeed there. He was the factory director here from 1982 to 1986, and he was responsible for the design and production of those buses running on the street. Later he became the chairman of the factory union, and now he has returned to the position of factory director.
After entering the conference room, Director Wang and other leaders were already waiting here. Yang Liufang found that except for Director Wang, the other leaders were all young and middle-aged leaders who were slightly older than him. It seemed that they had conducted If it were not an old state-owned enterprise that had undergone drastic reforms, there would not be such an age gap in Yang Liufang's impression. Factory Director Wang introduced the other participants, and Yang Liufang also introduced Li Tongfu, Wang Shan, Liu Wei, Chen Han, and Yanhua who came with him one by one. They saw the newly designed car model through a slide show at the scene. They couldn't understand what Yang Liufang said about power and had no chance to comment. However, bumpers, rearview mirrors and car seats were their specialty, and the group had already supplied products to three automobile manufacturers. Li Wei proposed some design modifications based on the experience accumulated in the factory, which were adopted by the other party's engineers after consideration. The two parties had a pleasant conversation, because they were both young people, and Director Wang was very resolute in his work. After Li Tongfu invited the auto repair shop to return for a return visit, the other party immediately agreed to lead a team to visit the tannery the next day.
After coming out of the auto repair shop, everyone was not mentally prepared for this inspection and the timely return visit from the other party. It was a temporary decision made by the leaders of both parties. Moreover, when the tannery factory held a meeting to discuss a month ago, Li Tongfu also said that they would not be able to develop new products until at least a year later. As a result, the new factory director designed a new vehicle only four months after taking office, which greatly exceeded their expectations. Unexpected. The group immediately returned to the factory to mobilize the group's subordinate units and related units to take collective action to prepare for the inspection. The tannery factory was responsible for on-site layout and sanitation. The furniture factory temporarily followed Yang Liufang's instructions and hurriedly made several signs with black characters on a white background. The factory also urgently purchased two sets of home theaters from the old Chen family's store in the supply and marketing cooperative and put them in the lobby to play videos. It turns out that there were several photos of Yang Liufang taking photos with his leaders and leaders coming to inspect them in the complex building. They were all enlarged and the furniture factory made the frames overnight and re-hanged them. The relevant personnel didn't sleep a wink all night, and finally completed all the arrangements before eight o'clock the next day.
After Director Wang brought the seven-person inspection team from the First Auto Repair Factory to the tannery, Yang Liufang led a group of factory leaders to give them a warm welcome. In front of the three publicity boards temporarily set up in front of the office building, Levi introduced the tannery's products and partners in detail. On the wall at the entrance to the office building, there are five large signs with red letters on a white background hanging. These were made by the furniture factory last night. They clearly read: "Comprehensive Design Award" unit, the highest award in the National Development Zone. , Xizhou University School of Environmental Engineering Training Base, Xizhou City Civilized Advanced Unit, Xizhou Business Association initiator and co-organizer, Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce Council Unit. Although it seems a bit like trying to pull the banner, these signs are hung side by side on the comprehensive The wall at the entrance of the office building is very impressive, very high-end, but due to the temporary rush, even though Da Ga and Xiao Ga in the spraying workshop used the best paint technology, you can still smell the smell of paint if you smell it carefully.
Walking into the exhibition hall, on two large color TVs in the home theater, one was playing clips of Yang Liufang on CCTV News Broadcast and Xizhou News in turn, while the other was playing Northwest Feng's exclusive interview with Yang Liufang. On the background wall of the two TVs, there are photos of Yang Liufang receiving awards in Beijing and taking photos with leaders. The photo of planting trees with provincial leaders was also developed and hung on the wall. After visiting these, the tannery factory directors Li Wei and Xinye led the leaders to visit each workshop. Because of the cooperation experience of three automobile factories, Yang Liufang was very confident, so he opened them all for the other party to visit. Then, just like Factory Manager Wang received me, I waited in the conference room with Li Tongfu, Yanhua, and Wang Shan. After they finished their visit, everyone met and negotiated in the conference room.
Liufang Industrial Group has its own strength, so in terms of car seats, for official vehicles and vehicles purchased by major enterprises, Factory Director Wang decided to use leather seats after visiting them, while for city buses and other long and short-distance transport vehicles, they Made of fabric. In addition to the seats, the car's rearview mirrors and bumpers, as well as future repair and replacement spare parts for these three accessories, are all supplied by Yang Liufang's group. The order was confirmed at that time and the docking personnel were determined for later contract communication. and signed. A buffet was prepared in the cafeteria at noon. The leaders from the auto repair shop ate delicious meals in the cafeteria with clear windows and their envy was palpable.
The later contract signing went smoothly, the drawings were distributed to Xizhou Aluminum Factory and Plastic Factory, and the two units quickly started sample production. There is no need for Yang Liufang to follow up on the details of product production, material proportions, confidentiality, etc. The people below have already handled it with ease. After the samples were submitted, the two parties drew up a supply contract, but one of the payment parts required the auto repair shop to deliver the product to the customer before full payment could be made. Yang Liufang was a little worried, so he made an appointment with Director Wang, who knew Chunjiang Plumbing first. "Duck" came to understand the situation. If the other party is indeed reliable, then part of the advance payment for this contract can be considered. Anyway, most of the billing period will be passed on to the two major state-owned enterprises, the aluminum factory and the plastic factory.
Through Director Wang, a know-it-all, Yang Liufang learned that Director Wang of the auto repair factory had returned to the Camel Factory to take charge of the overall situation, which was a comprehensive consideration of the province. Because since Factory Director Wang was squeezed out as chairman of the labor union five years ago, Camel cars, which originally occupied an absolute market position in Xizhou, have been gradually replaced by foreign cars. The new leadership team of the First Automobile Repair Plant also worked very hard to design models and improve power, but it seemed to be to no avail, and the market was shrinking day by day. So on the day when the Gulf War broke out, which shocked the world, Factory Director Wang once again took office. This caused a sensation in Xizhou's political circles as much as the Gulf War that happened that day.
The first thing Director Wang did when he took office was to rejuvenate the leadership team. Based on the principle that the central government had abolished the lifelong tenure of cadres a few years ago, he persuaded old comrades who still occupied important positions to retire, and followed the example of superior provincial and municipal units. An advisory committee was set up to allow these old comrades to come in as advisors. We also removed some incompetent leading cadres. Factory Director Wang was directly appointed by the province and had a mass base, so the files of the removed personnel were directly returned to the Municipal Labor Bureau, and the auto repair shop no longer offered any positions. Although some people were making trouble, the province and city unanimously supported it, and those people did not make any big waves. That's why Yang Liufang saw the young and middle-aged leaders in the conference room. Yang Liufang saw the purchase details in the contract. Camel Motors purchased 300 sets of supporting equipment. According to Director Wang's information, this has increased by 50 units compared with 1990, which shows the courage of Director Wang. Therefore, Yang Liufang personally decided to advance the funds to supply this batch of goods to Xizhou No. 1 Auto Repair Factory. Of course, he did not forget to ask this crooked mother-in-law to send a message and tell him how Mr. Yang admired Factory Director Wang's courage and stood out from the crowd. It is proposed to carry out this advance supply of funds.
The contract was signed by Li Tongfu and the executive deputy director of the First Auto Repair Plant under the witness of Yang Liufang and Factory Director Wang. The day after the two parties toasted to celebrate, Yang Liufang was extremely shocked when the tannery factory was actually investigated for environmental issues, and the Xizhou Municipal Party Committee and the Environmental Protection Bureau cooperated. As Liufang Industrial Group is a star enterprise in the city and even the province, he cannot accept such a surprise inspection for the time being. At that time, he hadn't gotten up yet at Wolongshan Hotel. Northwest Feng was washing up in the bathroom because he had to go to work. After hearing the news, he stood up and rushed into the bathroom without even putting on any clothes. Because the phone was on speakerphone, Xibei Feng also heard the call. However, it was troublesome for the woman to wash up. When Yang Liufang barged in to brush her teeth, she was still putting on makeup. . Just when she saw Yang Liufang coming in, she was about to ask him to draw her eyebrows. Normally Yang Liufang would be obedient, but now he was so anxious that he had no idea at all.
"My dear, it's useless for you to be anxious. The leaders are not at work right now. If you want to know the results, you have to finish the morning meeting in each unit after 8:30." After hearing his girlfriend's gentle comfort and rational analysis, Yang Liufang Stop being restless, take the eyebrow pencil and draw eyebrows to Northwest Feng. The two got ready. According to Bei Xifeng's wish, she would take leave today to accompany Yang Liufang to smooth out the relationship. Yang Liufang did not want people to think that he was relying on his future father-in-law, and he was confident that he could smooth things over, so he coaxed her to go to work.
After Yang Liufang saw her off, he immediately drove back to the tannery. Because sewage discharge was not allowed, production could not be carried out. In addition, with the city's leaders supervising the rectification, the production line was stopped. The supply contracts have been signed long ago, and the production tasks are carried out step by step. This stoppage leaves workers with no money and little trouble. Violation of the contract means huge losses and compensation.
