The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

They were the ones who did the bad things at the beginning. They were knocked down while playing, but in the end they felt like victims.

I don’t know what to say.

The other end.

Li Ming took a detour to send Qian Jin to the canteen, and then drove back to the security department.

Someone happened to come looking for him.

Qin Huairu and Ai Zongqin, one of the five eldest sisters on the processing plant management committee.

Ai Zongqin is short in stature and has a soft voice. She is in her 40s. Her husband is a sixth-level worker in a steel rolling mill. He is very active in his work. He was elected to be responsible for the procurement of raw materials and the sales of finished ham sausages.

Entering the office, Li Ming asked directly: "Commissioner Ai, Director Qin, what happened?"

Ai Zongqin glanced at Qin Huairu first, and then said: "Deputy Team Leader Li, people from the Grain, Oil and Food Import and Export Company just came to visit the processing plant."

Li Ming paused and asked: "Didn't you notify us in advance?"

Ai Zongqin didn't think much and said readily: "No. They went directly to the factory with the letter of introduction."

Li Ming just thought that someone was going to dig a hole for him, "You're here to launch a surprise attack, but they've already left?"

Ai Zongqin replied: "I took some samples from the production line and brought them back for testing."

"They seem very satisfied. They praised the sanitation of our processing workshop. There is no rancid smell even in such a hot weather."

Li Ming thought to himself that all the meat sent from outside was sent to the warehouse to be frozen, and the smell was suppressed. "Did you try to trick them? Which country are you planning to export to?"

Ai Zongqin said happily: "It seems that I want to export to the Soviet Union." If the export order can be obtained, the future of the processing factory is bright.

"When the time comes, we will definitely add external packaging, and we must raise the pricing of packaging costs to the highest level in the industry. This will prevent our employees from being unskilled and causing losses."

Li Ming said it grandly, but actually he still wanted to make more profits for the processing factory.

At this time, the price of beef and pork in the Soviet Union was about 2 rubles per kilogram, and the price of smoked sausage was 4 rubles per kilogram. At this price, you have to queue up to buy it, and the taste is just average.

The actual cost of raising pork exceeds 2 rubles, and just like us, it is subsidized by financial funds.

苏国1961年发行了新卢布1比10旧卢布，新卢布对美元的汇率设定为：0.9卢布比1美元。私下的交易，卢布换美元要再加钱。

The exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar is 1 yuan per US dollar.

Using the U.S. dollar as a reference, 1 ruble is worth 2.7353 yuan.

The trade exchange rates between our country and the Soviet Union are based on the exchange rates of the two countries' currencies against the US dollar, or simulated gold parity. The specific execution exchange rate is determined by negotiations between the two parties.

Even according to the official exchange rate, pork in Suzhou is equivalent to 4.92 yuan per kilogram, and smoked sausage is equivalent to 10.94 yuan per kilogram.

The ham made by Li Ming costs 1 yuan per kilogram without export packaging.

If there is free trade, export competitiveness will be very high.

Ai Zongqin is capable and capable. Like most people at this time, he has no intention of withholding export profits.

"The people in our processing plant are all good at work and work very hard."

"Our packaging speed is definitely no worse than others, so there's no need to set the highest price, right?"

Qin Huairu understood what he was thinking, but she didn't say it clearly: "Sister Ai, we can go a little higher in front and lower it in the back."

Li Ming continued to lie: "That's what Director Qin said."

"Everyone is busy working three shifts every day, and the weather is so hot. What if the body can't bear it and the speed slows down?"

"The delivery date is delayed, which affects the image of our country. What is lost is the foreign exchange that our country has finally obtained."

"This is no better than the delivery by our own people in China. It can be negotiated."

On November 1965, 11, "Interim Provisions on Uniform Pricing Methods for the Supply of Export Commodities"

'2. The price of export commodities supplied shall be based on the price of domestic commodities, of the same quality and price, and shall be determined according to quality. Industrial products directly supplied for export by industrial enterprises shall be priced according to the ex-factory price;... '

'3. If the specifications, quality, packaging and other requirements for supplying export commodities are higher than the standards for domestically sold commodities, an additional price should be added to the price of domestically sold commodities. The price increase is calculated based on the increased cost, plus the tax payable and appropriate profit. '

The printing factory is responsible for the packaging materials, and the prices are recorded and available. Li Ming has only one way to increase the packaging price: add the total labor cost.

Everyone's labor price is fixed. If you want to add more, it will naturally increase the total packaging time, which means the packaging speed will slow down.

Additional manpower or working hours are added, which increases costs.

Ai Zongqin blamed himself: "Look, I only care about showing off my strength, but Deputy Leader Li has thought carefully."

Li Ming laughed and said: "You are not trying to be brave. What you are talking about is the actual production situation. We can definitely meet the standards you mentioned."

"My suggestion is just in case. Our relationship with the Soviet Union is not very good. When making products exported to the Soviet Union, we must also consider the psychological state and ideological fluctuations of the majority of employees."

Ai Zongqin's excitement about being able to export the ham sausage gradually faded away. "It seems that we are facing quite a lot of unfavorable factors."

Li Ming just told them not to be too happy, not to suppress their fighting spirit. "This requires your management committee and team leaders to strengthen the ideological work of employees."

"Export to the Soviet Union, where most of the people who eat ham sausage are workers, and they are comrades who can be won over and saved."

Ai Zongqin immediately stood up and said, "I'll go back and tell them right now."

Li Ming is confident that although it will take at least two or three months, the export of products is also a good thing to encourage employees, so it doesn't matter if he said it early.

After Ai Zongqin left, Qin Huairu sighed: "Sister Ai does things like this, in a hurry, without stopping for a moment."

"Director Qin, why haven't you left yet?"

"This is my man's territory. I can come when I want and leave when I want."

"Then why are you still standing there stupidly at the door? Come over quickly and rub your man's shoulders and legs. I've been tired all morning."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him charmingly, "You look like a great master, so I should go to the factory to expose your rotten style."

Li Ming said with a smile: "Then the two of us will accept everyone's criticism on the stage."

"The story that the little widow and the beautiful boy have to tell."

Qin Huairu pinched him twice, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Just scratching the itch, Li Ming asked: "I heard Banggeng say this morning that your family eats white flour steamed buns every day now?"

"Yes." Qin Huairu stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders.

Li Ming reminded: "You still have to eat wowotou occasionally, right? Even if it's just to show off."

Qin Huairu laughed and said, "Master, how long has it been since you went to the grain store?"

"The grain stores are now full of flour, and there is no stock of whole grains."

When it comes to actual supply, sometimes the supply of coarse grains will be insufficient, and the supply of flour will be opened up. People in the grain store will no longer distinguish between grain stamps and just sell them casually according to the kilograms on the stamps.

4% of the grain transferred into the capital from other places is imported grain, mostly from Canada and Australia, and a small part from China. All imported goods are wheat or flour. There is also a lot of flour after the winter wheat harvest. Grain stores sometimes only have flour left for sale.

For people with high wages, this is a good thing, as they eat white flour steamed buns every day.

For people with low wages, this is not a good thing. There are no cheap whole grains to eat, and they have to spend more money on food, making life more difficult.

In reality, things are sometimes so contradictory.

Li Ming never bought grain twice at the grain store. "My grain book is with you, why should I go to the grain store?"

Qin Huairu tried a little harder and said, "It's my fault for not telling you. Is that okay?"

Li Ming felt that he was a little out of touch with the masses and out of touch.

At this point, Qin Huairu can help him.

"Tell me more about ordinary things in life from now on, so that I won't make a joke one day."

Of course Qin Huairu was happy, "Don't bother me when I talk about trivial things."

Li Ming had been busy all morning, and his soft little hands squeezed him very comfortably, "Why don't you summarize and refine it a little bit."

"The position of secretary is actually very training."

"Yeah. I'll try my best."

Good times pass quickly.

A blink of an eye.

May 7, morning.

Zaolinqian Street near Guang'anmen Nei Street.

A U-shaped office building looks ordinary from the outside. Once you enter the office inside, the courtyard, auditorium, and canteen are all quite impressive.

Office location of the First Ministry of Light Industry.

Li Ming came here today to hold a meeting on quartz movements.

The large conference room was packed with powerful research institutions and business units from all over the country.

After coming here for so many years, I may not dare to say much about other experience. I definitely have rich experience in meetings. Li Ming has adapted to such occasions very well.

Today is a little different from previous meetings. This time he is one of the protagonists of the meeting, and he is also the protagonist who is being questioned.

The old expert from Shanghai Watch Component Factory said very directly, "Comrade Li Ming, you may not have any working experience in quartz cutting technology."

"Quartz cutting is a technical job, and the precision is extremely fine. It is not processed like the machine tools in your steel rolling mill."

"It needs to be ground and processed with abrasives. If the precision is not enough, it cannot be modified by using files like your steel rolling mill."

"I think 8192 Hz is difficult enough, but now it's impossible to do 32768 Hz."

There was a drawback in the early use of tuning circuits to control frequency. Frequency drift would cause mutual interference between adjacent radio stations. The frequency stability was improved after switching to a quartz crystal resonator.

There are many domestic radio stations, and they are also conducting research on quartz crystals. There is only one oscillation circuit between the resonator and the oscillator, so there is no difference.

An engineer from Shanghai Post and Telecommunications Equipment Factory No. 8192 continued: "We are doing some research on rod-type quartz oscillators. We can still achieve 32768 Hz with hard work. This tuning fork type is more difficult to manufacture. Not to mention Hz."

A researcher from Shanghai Silicate Research Institute reminded: “The output of synthetic quartz is also a problem.”

At this time, Shanghai's light industrial products were synonymous with fashion and quality, and the daily industrial products produced were sold all over the country.

'Three turns, one beep and one click' is the most top-notch configuration that Chinese people can think of, and it basically represents the highest domestic manufacturing level.

Facing the professional and technical personnel who came all the way from Shanghai to question him, Li Ming was well prepared.

"I really have no relevant experience in quartz cutting. The plan I proposed earlier did not mention the specific production of quartz crystals."

"Compared with the previous method of only mechanical grinding, I think we can add an etching method to make it more precise and precise, and the quartz crystal produced will have stable properties."

"At the same time, it also solves the difficulty of manufacturing the tuning fork type." These are the information collected and collected through social exchanges between Port City Cambrian and Riben Miyota Co., Ltd.

Shanghai Watch Component Factory has nothing to say, this is not their specialty.

Each unit and factory is divided into very specialized areas, and many production and R&D require collaboration from each factory.

Engineers at Shanghai Post and Telecommunications Equipment Factory No. 1 did not expect Section Chief Li to be so professional. “What we are better at is the grinding process.”

"For the etching process, some comrades once proposed such an idea, but there was a lack of R&D funding and no further research."

In the first round, Section Chief Li won. He said with a smile: "The grinding of mechanical processing has reached the end of precision. Only by changing the process can we continue to improve."

"Isn't there a manufacturer that has developed a quartz clock? Is there any representative here?"

The person in charge of Yantai Watch Factory said: "The cost of the quartz clock we specially developed for the Seismological Bureau is too high and there is no way to mass produce it."

A representative from the Shencheng Clock Factory said: "It is an experimental quartz clock, and there has been no breakthrough in research."

Laboratory gadgets are far from industrial production, and may be decades away from industrialization.

Li Ming opened his eyes and told lies, "This is a good encouragement, showing that it is not impossible."

"As long as we solve the etching and cutting of quartz crystals, the basic problem is solved."

A technician from the Changzhou Battery Factory retorted: "The large-power silver oxide batteries needed for quartz watches will not be available in China for a while."

"The best way is to lower the frequency and reduce power consumption. The 8192 Hz frequency currently used abroad has sufficient accuracy and can extend battery life."

Li Ming dealt with it easily, "It's written in the plan to simplify unnecessary functions and reduce power consumption."

"If the battery is still not enough, it is not unacceptable for the masses to replace the battery once every six months or a year."

Jincheng Watch Factory also has a different opinion, "The watch only has the function of keeping time. Isn't the function too single?"

"If you don't consider the calendar function, it's a bit backward. I guess it's not conducive to exporting, right?"

Li Ming lamented: "Because our country's electronic technology level is relatively backward. Otherwise, I would even want to propose the production of electronic watches."

"The watch not only has hours, minutes, seconds, date, and day of the week, it can also add a perpetual calendar, plus temperature and humidity, and you can set multiple alarm times. It becomes a multi-functional watch."

"This is just my idea. Our country does not have this foundation yet. If there is really no way to realize it, I will not mention it."

"The watches we produce are mainly for the use of comrades abroad, not for the enjoyment of capitalists. Being able to provide accurate time can already meet the most basic needs."

"We can develop calendar, alarm clock and other functions in the future. By then, there may be new progress in battery research. Let's do it step by step."

Someone from the Semiconductor Research Institute brought the topic back, "The key issue is still the production of quartz wafers."

"Even if it is 8192 Hz, the domestic technical strength is currently unable to achieve mass production. If the goal is set too high and cannot be achieved, it will also delay the development progress." (End of this chapter)
