Chapter 170 The Difficulties of Hanhua Factory
After finishing delivering the police bicycles to the Xunyang City Public Security Bureau, Lin Zhenhua left Xunyang and went back to Fenghua first.Since the business of Hanhua Company moved to Xunyang, the number of times Lin Zhenhua has returned to Fenghua can be counted on one's fingers.

His position as deputy chief of the technical department is still on hold, but his salary has been suspended, referring to the practice of suspension without pay.The unit assigned to him by the factory is still there. Fortunately, Hanhua Factory has built several new dormitories for workers, so the housing problem is not so urgent.

Back at the Hanhua Factory, Lin Zhenhua first went to the home of his father-in-law Yang Chunshan, and brought him some cigarettes and alcohol.Yang Chunshan and Wei Suping are living a very prosperous life now. Their daughter has already been admitted to university, and their son Yang Tao's grades are also good. It is estimated that there will be no major problems in this year's exam.The benefits of the factory are good, the old couple earn a lot of money including wages and bonuses, and the future son-in-law would bring in hundreds of dollars from time to time, the couple has already entered a well-off life ahead of schedule.

After leaving Yang's house, Lin Zhenhua then went to Zhu Tiejun's house.Zhu Tiejun has already moved into a newly built unit, and the furniture in his home is also newer than before.When Lin Zhenhua knocked on the door, Zhu Tiejun was watching TV news in the room.Seeing Lin Zhenhua, the old man chuckled and asked Lin Zhenhua to sit in the living room.

"Director Zhu, I brought you something." Lin Zhenhua took out something from the following bag.

Zhu Tiejun said displeasedly: "What do you bring? I know you have money now, but I don't lack anything."

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing there. A catty of Yunwu tea from Xunyang, and two tapes I just found, "Fang Qingxiu", you should like it."

Zhu Tiejun really turned his anger into joy, took the tea and the tape, and said with a smile: "Well, it's still your temper with me."

"That's for sure. Wherever I go, I am also a soldier under the old factory manager." Lin Zhenhua said obediently.

In fact, Lin Zhenhua's current status is no less than that of Zhu Tiejun.Although Hanhua Industrial Company is still a large group, it is an enterprise registered in the Provincial Economic and Economic Commission. Fully guarantee the production and operation activities of Hanhua Industrial Company.At best, Zhu Tiejun was known in the Light Chemical Department system, and Lin Zhenhua was a well-known figure in the whole province.

However, no matter how brilliant Lin Zhenhua is, he still has the mentality of a primary school student in front of Zhu Tiejun.Zhu Tiejun's attitude towards Lin Zhenhua is like treating his own nephew. Whether Lin Zhenhua was a porter back then or the manager of Hanhua Company today, Zhu Tiejun's attitude is always the same, which is enough to make Lin Zhenhua feel admiration.

"How is it? How is your production going?" Zhu Tiejun asked.

Lin Zhenhua briefly introduced the production situation in Xunyang to Zhu Tiejun, and Zhu Tiejun also bluntly expressed some opinions, nothing more than asking Lin Zhenhua to pay attention to respecting old comrades, improving relations with the masses, and handling certain issues Be decisive and the like.Lin Zhenhua said repeatedly, and wrote down the old man's words one by one.

"Xiao Lin, your Hanhua company is doing very well now, will you spare some time to find some business for our Hanhua factory?" Zhu Tiejun finally said.

"Why, is our factory out of business?" Lin Zhenhua was a little surprised.He has been busy dealing with Xunyang's affairs for more than a year, and he really doesn't know the situation of Hanhua factory.

Zhu Tiejun showed a hint of depression on his face, and said: "After the completion of the complete set of equipment for the Guixi Fertilizer Plant last time, our factory has not had any major projects. At present, the domestic chemical industry is not in a good mood, and the number of orders for large equipment is not large. Not only our factory, but also the petrochemical machine side is underutilized and half-starved."

"No way? When I came back from the Chinese New Year, I heard that our factory gave out more than 200 yuan to each person in the year-end bonus. How could there be underemployment?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Zhu Tiejun said: "Part of this money is the profit left over from the last complete set of equipment, and some is the dividends that your Hanhua Company gave to the factory. Now our Hanhua Machinery Factory still has to rely on your profits to live. Isn't it the other way around?"

Lin Zhenhua joked: "It can't be said that it's the other way around. The Hanhua factory is the father, and our Hanhua company is the son. It's normal for the son to earn money to support his father when he grows up."

It is true that he said so, the employees of Hanhua Company are all the children of Hanhua Factory, and it really feels like a son earning money to support his father.

However, Zhu Tiejun felt displeased. He shook his head and said, "It's not just a question of money. The key is that there are so many workers in our factory who are underemployed and have nothing to do. What's the matter?"

"So, Director Zhu, what do you want me to do?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Zhu Tiejun said: "You are a smart person. Last time you proposed to develop electric fans, several of our factory leaders thought you were just a small business. Who knew you could make such a big deal. Now that the chemical equipment is in a downturn, the factory The Ministry is also considering the issue of changing production, and everyone wants to hear your opinion and see what our Hanhua factory can do."

"Is this enough?" Lin Zhenhua said, "Our factory is also a backbone enterprise in chemical equipment. In the past, it also won the certificate of the second-class pressure window. The factory department is not trying to switch to light industrial products, right?"

Zhu Tiejun said: "Don't you just want to switch to light industrial products? Now in China, light industry makes money, and heavy industry is almost all at a loss. Not only our local heavy industry companies are losing money, but even the military industry sector is losing money. I heard that often The Red Machinery Factory is thinking about switching to bicycle production."

"Isn't this stealing my job? This Yan Yuanhe, I'll sue Director Liu." Lin Zhenhua said indignantly.

Zhu Tiejun knew that Lin Zhenhua liked to talk nonsense, so he didn't mind, so he just continued, "Now the Light Chemical Department can't do anything about it. The last time Lao Xie came to have a meeting with our factory leaders, it was also to let us use our brains to find marketable products. You mentioned a lot. Some said that we should just produce electric fans just like you. Some said that we should take advantage of our factory’s advantages in making ice machines to produce refrigerators. Some said that the washing machine market is also good. I think you have good eyesight, so I would like to invite you Help me to see which product is more suitable."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Director Zhu, to be honest, these markets have risks. In terms of electric fans, our company also took a trick. The year before last, we used new products to occupy the domestic market, and last year we used five-blade fans to earn money from the international market. Some money. The situation this year is still unclear, and I don’t think it’s very optimistic.”

"Where's the refrigerator?"

"The refrigerator market has just started, and the market demand prospect is good, but there are quite a few manufacturers eyeing this market."

Zhu Tiejun nodded: "You are quite right. According to what we know, there are at least three factories in our province that are planning to make refrigerators, and we are the fourth. The market is so big, how can there be room for four people?" A factory."

Lin Zhenhua said: "I'm not sure which market will do well now. To be honest, there are many chances and coincidences for our Hanhua Company to be successful in the fan market. Our sales network construction has also achieved certain results. By the way, we The Xiong Lijun who left the factory is now a key sales force, and he is doing well in the Shanghai market."

Zhu Tiejun said: "This is also the result of your Xiaolin's knowledge and responsibility. When Xiaoxiong was in the factory, he was doing nothing, mainly because the things in the factory were not attractive to him. In your hands, Xiaolin can mobilize his enthusiasm. , let him feel that he has a bright future, so he has become the backbone."

Speaking of Xiong Lijun, Lin Zhenhua thought of Lan Wufeng, he hesitated for a while, and asked, "By the way, Director Zhu, I want to ask one thing, the county magistrate An, do you know him well?"

Zhu Tiejun said: "I have dealt with him a few times, but he has a bad temper, but he is also a good person. What, you have something to ask him?"

Lin Zhenhua smiled wryly, "His daughter is with me, and I'm still hesitating how to tell him."

Zhu Tiejun asked in surprise: "What's going on? Aren't you dating Yang Xin? Why did you abduct Lao An's daughter again?"

Lin Zhenhua told the story of An Yan and Lan Wufeng, but he didn't say that Lan Wufeng wanted to flee to Burma, he just said that he went to other places to avoid the limelight.

Zhu Tiejun frowned and said: "This matter is really troublesome. A few days ago, the County Public Security Bureau also notified the situation to all enterprises, and arranged to severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities. Your sales manager is not married yet. Just make the belly of the other's daughter bigger. If it hits the limelight, it is indeed possible to be severely sentenced. However, I don't think Lao An will really go to the Public Security Bureau to report the case, right? He really arrested his son-in-law, Didn't he kill his daughter for the rest of his life?"

"However, the news we got is that the Nanjing police did go to the office to look for Lan Wufeng, for no reason, what would they do with Lan Wufeng?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Zhu Tiejun thought for a while and said: "Since your manager has already gone into hiding, let him hide for a while. But, don't tell outsiders about this matter. If Lao An really reports the case, you can help It is also against the law for criminals to escape. I will find an opportunity to talk to Lao An about the matter of Lao An's daughter at your place. At the very least, I should tell him. If the Public Security Bureau asks you in the future, you will If you don’t know the third question, don’t say that you know specific things.”

"I understand." Lin Zhenhua agreed.

In the early 80s, the country's legal system was very unsound, and there was no definite basis for what was legal and what was illegal.Under such circumstances, no one dares to say that what they do can be protected by the law. Zhu Tiejun suggested that Lin Zhenhua should keep his mouth shut, which is justified.

The two chatted about other things for a while, and Lin Zhenhua got up to leave.Zhu Tiejun sent him all the way outside the door, and said: "Xiao Lin, if you have time, you should come back to the factory to have a look. This is still your natal home."

"That's for sure. Director Zhu, don't worry. If there is anything in our factory, just contact me. I will be back at any time to wait for your orders."

"How about it, can you stay in the factory for a few days this time?"

"I can't stay for two days. I have to go to Nandu quickly, and go to Guangzhou with the Foreign Trade Department to participate in this year's Canton Fair."
