The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

My eldest uncle talked about things on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait, "I finally found that unified enterprise."

"It's a small company that was just established this year. They are planning to partner with Riben's company to do flour and feed business."

Li Ming actually didn't expect that his company had just been established: "His own company is still a bit small, but his cousin's business is not small."

The elder brother-in-law thought that he really had a special channel to know the inside story, "Yes. It was through his cousin that I found out."

If you are in the local area, you can search it through the phone book of the telecommunications office. You can only ask others for help when you are in a different place. Newly established companies are not easy to find.

Regardless of the process, Li Ming only looked at the results, "Have you contacted the other party?"

The eldest uncle replied: "We are in touch."

"The other party is also very interested in our instant noodles and plans to come to Hong Kong City to negotiate in person."

"Xiao'e's idea is to let them bring more people and try the taste of instant noodles."

Lou Xiao'e added: "They understand local tastes better, and the more people there are, the smaller the deviation will be. They can also demonstrate our technical strength, which is more conducive to negotiations."

Li Ming agreed: "Then let's do it this way. Whether it's a shareholding or a controlling stake, or a joint venture into a new company, you can just talk to them directly."

Lou Xiao'e responded: "Okay."

After everything was discussed, Li Ming said to Huang Fuyi with a smile: "I am a small-minded person."

"Consultant Huang, please help me find out how Detective Li's nephew is doing lately."

"If you live a good life, you should give him a hand no matter what."

"If he has a bad life, then consider him lucky and too lazy to answer him."

Hearing what Li Ming said, the elder brother-in-law recalled the things he had forgotten. The brother-in-law really paid close attention to his little sister.

Huang Fuyi quickly accepted the task, "I will go find out in the afternoon and report to you tomorrow."

Li Ming waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, personal safety comes first. The large area of ​​Wong Tai Sin is a bit chaotic now. Try not to go to the place of right and wrong if you can."

"Just remember this."

In this way, you can't go to the bald Director Lin to inquire. Huang Fuyi said confidently: "I am quite familiar with Kowloon. I can find out without asking Director Lin from the plastic factory."

Li Ming nodded and said with a smile: "That's okay."

Lou Xiao'e didn't express her opinion. This was because she valued her, not a big deal. She couldn't think about others and make her man unhappy.

If you do that, the only one who will be cheaper is Qin Huairu in the capital.

In the secret competition, Lou Xiao'e thought she had the upper hand and had a psychological advantage over Qin Huairu.

Beijing.

The sun is also scorching today.

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Qin Huairu wandered into the security section chief's office again, sitting on the sofa chair and putting spoonfuls of ice cream into her mouth.

Li Ming was revising and polishing the draft, "You are quite free!"

"You asked me to be the liaison officer. If you have nothing to do, of course I will be free."

"Then I didn't see you contacting me!"

"Fuck you. What are you writing?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.

Li Ming said casually: "A report is about to be written, and I plan to build a quartz movement research team."

"Strive to popularize watches on a large scale in the country, and even export a large number of watches to some friendly countries such as Dongou in exchange for foreign exchange."

In order to speak meaningfully, he has been checking information on the mainland these days.

Breaking the rules, not following the old path of capital, overtaking in corners and becoming the world leader.

The concept is in line with the current trend and there is nothing wrong with it at all.

Swiss watches are the benchmark for domestic comparison. Swiss watches are also sold in China. Of course, the price is higher and ordinary people cannot afford them.

Qin Huairu heard him talk about Hong Kong City last time and asked in confusion: "Didn't Hong Kong City already have a research institute?"

Li Ming explained: "All accessories can be imported in Hong Kong City. Many things do not necessarily need to be mastered. You can study them slowly."

"It's different in the mainland. Many materials cannot be purchased, and even if they can be purchased, there is no foreign exchange import. Moreover, domestic research must focus on the cutting technology of quartz crystals."

"This technology can not only be used to make crystal oscillators for quartz movements, but can also be used to make other crystal oscillators for frequency counting, timing, control systems, etc."

"All are important components for the defense industry."

Qin Huairu reminded: "Such an important thing must be kept confidential, right?"

"You often come and go without a trace. Isn't it appropriate to participate in a project like this?"

Of course Li Ming is aware of the current confidentiality system. He doesn't even know how many Dongfeng Machinery Factories he has dealt with.

If Zhang Haiyang hadn't used his connections to ask questions, and colleagues from the Purchasing Section 1, Production Planning Section and other departments of the steel rolling mill had asked for him, he wouldn't have known where to look for the machines when he placed the order.

"I'm just writing a proposal, it's not like I have to do it myself."

"The quartz movement research team I lead can focus on other components, such as stepper motors, alarm clocks, and watch appearance designs."

Qin Huairu saw that he had already made up his mind, so he said no more.

"Banggen always envied the 'chicken pecking' alarm clock in your room and always wanted me to buy one for him. It's too expensive and not suitable to buy."

This classic model produced by Shanghai has a hen and chicks printed on the paper clock. The hen's head can move and it pecks once a second. It is very popular at home and abroad.

Li Ming said angrily: "Where did you get that broken alarm clock in your house? Not only does it not move accurately, it also stops from time to time."

"Don't tell me that kids like Bangge like new things. Yours always breaks and no one would want to replace it."

Qin Huairu responded: "I've been using it for many years. I'll take it to the shop for repair tomorrow."

"It will cost several dollars to repair it. Aunt Zhang will probably have to nag you again."

Qin Huairu was a little proud, "I give her 10 yuan a month to save for retirement. She doesn't like to nag now."

"Haha, she is quite contented!"

Qin Huairu disagreed and said, "Yan Jiecheng only gave his parents 7 yuan a month."

"I gave her 10 yuan per person, which is pure pension money. She doesn't suffer from eating vegetables every day. What else does she want to be dissatisfied with."

Li Ming helped increase the price to 7 yuan. It was originally 5 yuan.

When the changes were almost completed, Li Ming put the manuscript papers together and kept them for later copying, "Then do you have enough money?"

The 2000 given each month is Hong Kong dollars, and it is impossible to use golden melon seeds.

Qin Huairu said happily: "It's enough. Now I often don't have to buy groceries, and I save money."

She often brought vegetables and flour back to the courtyard from the small world, and her biggest living expenses were almost gone.

After eating the ice cream, Qin Huairu started talking about business, "The second batch of people who went to the sausage factory to study will return to the factory tomorrow."

"It will be officially put into production in two days. Can we install and debug the machine in two days?"

Li Ming stretched, "All the assembled machines have been tried and turned on. It's not a complicated machine, and the debugging time is more than enough." There were some water stains on the reception table. Qin Huairu picked up the rag and wiped the table clean, "Chen Guodongke There are a lot of calls from the director asking for ham sausage."

“The response has been so good that processing plants no longer have to worry about the source of their pork.”

Li Ming pointed out: "The weather is hot, and the pork will not be stored for long unless it is put into a cold storage."

"Then you don't have to worry about the lack of raw materials. I just went around the processing workshop and told them the news. Everyone is very excited and can't wait to start production."

Qin Huairu continued to think about it: "One pound of pork can make 1 ham sausages. If we give them 12 ham sausages, we can still have 8."

"We make 400 pieces of 4800 kilograms of pork a day, and the processing plant can still have 1600 pieces left."

"A dime a stick, that's 1 yuan a day, or 160 yuan a month."

The ex-factory price of ham sausage is set at 8 cents and 4 cents per piece. The processing factory has already applied for it but has not yet approved it.

The pricing of goods is not determined by what the factory says. It needs to be approved. At this time, I don’t know when it will be approved.

The processing plant is not directly involved in the replacement of pork and ham sausages for the time being. It is exchanged by the steel rolling mill and other factories on a dime basis.

How exactly the Red Star Rolling Mill and its affiliated ham processing plant are calculated is an internal issue.

Li Ming was amused by Qin Huairu's little calculation, "Don't count the losses. Other materials are free, the electricity bill is free, and there is no salary."

"We still have to work hard for Shazhu and the others to help cook in the canteens of those factories."

We trained several chefs from the steel rolling mills and sent them to various factories to help cook and train and guide each other's chefs.

Qin Huairu said unconvinced: "We not only produce 400 catties every day, but also produce 1000 catties and more."

Li Ming glared at her, "This replacement is just to ensure that our production capacity is at least 5000 pieces per day, and we first ensure that we will not lose money."

"As much as possible, we can get as much pork as 50 or 60 cents a pound so that the processing factory can accumulate profits and have the money to build a new factory."

Qin Huairu also knew that she was making trouble unreasonably, so she asked instead: "What happened to the mushroom export plan you shared a few days ago?"

Li Ming didn't say whose path he took, "I've written it, but I haven't found a chance to hand it in yet."

"The mushroom sticks are still growing mycelium. It is estimated that they will not change color until the beginning of next month. Once the color changes, they can be placed in the mushroom shed to encourage the mushrooms to emerge."

"It will be more convincing if a little mushroom pops up in the middle of next month."

Qin Huairu said regretfully: "It would be nice if I could grow faster."

Li Ming laughed and said: "This is fast enough. It takes three months for some strains of bacteria to grow mycelium."

The two chatted casually.

It's also afternoon.

West of the city.

Institute of Innovation and Technology.

A few days ago, Li Ming merged the instant noodle laboratory in the East Side Hall into the seasoning laboratory in the entrance hall and changed it to the "Food and Additive Research Laboratory".

The east side hall has been changed into the "Watch Research Laboratory".

Zhang Haiyang had just returned to the food research laboratory and drank a large bowl of sour plum juice that Li Ming brought from the courtyard in the west of the city.

"Today's high temperature is 34 degrees, which will kill people."

Zhou Xiaobai asked: "Have you found the clock repair master?"

Zhang Haiyang replied while fanning himself, "Found it."

"There are two people, an old man and a young man. The old man is a master who has retired for three years, and the young man is an apprentice who has not yet left his apprenticeship."

Luo Yun asked in confusion: "Why are there no normal people, old or young?"

Being criticized, Zhang Haiyang couldn't help but retorted, "Don't you know how popular watchmakers are?"

"It costs more than two yuan to dismantle, clean and apply oil. The clockwork costs more than two yuan. There are also all kinds of repairs such as the casing, glass, pendulum, and watch strap."

"They don't know how comfortable they are. It's pretty good that I can find two."

"The apprentice still had problems with his master. The master was driven back to his hometown in the countryside, so he wanted to work part-time with us to make money to support his family."

Zhou Xiaobai asked directly: "Did you leave your contact information?"

Zhang Haiyang replied: "I gave them the address and public phone number here, and they also left me the public phone number."

"That watch with a quartz movement is really that magical? The error is only half a second a day?"

While in bed, Zhou Xiaobai heard Li Ming say in detail, "The ones that last half a second are of better quality."

"Perhaps due to the poor manufacturing process of quartz crystals, errors of one second or two seconds a day are possible."

She helped to find reparations and get vaccinated first to prevent the products produced later from not being as good as expected.

Zhang Haiyang marveled: "The error of two seconds a day is also very impressive!"

Luo Yun asked: "Xiaobai, did you two discuss it on the phone? I never heard him speak so carefully when I was here."

Zhou Xiaobai said vaguely: "He wanted to write a plan to my dad, so he talked to me more."

"He's not afraid that he won't be able to do it, and your dad will tell him when the time comes?" Luo Yun reminded her best friend not to embarrass herself.

Zhang Haiyang is more convinced, "How could it not be done? Judging from the news I have heard in the past two days."

"In 55, the watch shop in Shanghai worked with the repairman to make a hand-operated small drill press, homemade knives, modified transmission motors with electric fan heads, modified drill bits with embroidery needles, and made parasol ribs, sweater needles, bicycle strips, etc. The watch axis was heat-treated with an alcohol lamp, and a batch of watches were made in three months.”

"At the very beginning of our Beijing Watch Factory, some watch workers made the first batch of watches without any factory buildings, equipment, or funds."

"Our production conditions are much better now than they were more than ten years ago. We can definitely make it!"

Luo Yun retorted: "There are samples for reference."

"Li Ming didn't have any samples to refer to this time. It was purely a method he came up with."

Zhou Xiaobai actually had no idea, but she knew her father's nature. "Even if he didn't succeed, my dad would not criticize him and would encourage him to keep working hard."

Zhang Haiyang put down his fan and stood up to fill the plum juice. "Anyway, I believe it can be made."

"It's a pity that the Beijing Watch Factory is in Changping, which is a bit far away. Otherwise, if we ask their technicians to participate in the research after get off work, the progress may be faster."

In 60, the factory was located outside the east gate of Changping County, about 40 kilometers away from the capital. It took half a day to ride a bicycle and a whole day to go back and forth.

Although the shuttle bus is faster, you have to wait and may not be able to catch it. When you arrive in the capital, you have to wait for the bus or tram transfer, which is not very convenient.

Luo Yun rolled her eyes and said, "We might as well go to the watch factory and hire some technicians here."

"There is a wing at the back where people can live, and the weather is not cold now."

Zhang Haiyang thinks it's feasible, "It's not impossible. I guess the production of their watch factory has also been affected."

"Those who do research must be the first to be unlucky."

Zhou Xiaobai made a decision: "Let's do it this way. Give them food and accommodation, or live here and eat their own food, and give them a food subsidy of 1 yuan a day."

"If the development is successful, they will be indispensable for certificates and badges." (End of Chapter)
