That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 784: It turns out that you are all son-in-law party!

"A family with three workers can save up for half a house in a year? Is this a joke?"

"Whether it's a joke or not, you can tell at a glance."

When Master Mu and Master Miao told everyone the information they had gathered, everyone was skeptical.
Then, at the strong request of everyone, the dormitory of Changbei Machinery Company was also added to the afternoon tour program.

Then, everyone became envious.

A large area of ​​brand new five-story buildings, gray and gloomy, made people jealous. According to Wang Qinshan's explanation, most of the people living here were front-line workers.
One reason is that front-line workers have higher wages and can afford more houses.

The second reason is that the current ratio of management to workers in Changbei Machinery Company is already one to eight, and workers already make up the majority.

Master Mu and the others could no longer hold their temper. Dozens of people were buzzing and talking to each other non-stop.

"Others build more than ten buildings a year, but our unit has been asking for it for five or six years, and has only built two, and there is no share for us workers."

"Hush, don't let others hear your dirty laundry."

"What's wrong with hearing it? I'm not the one making fun of myself. Old Lu is the one taking the brunt of the situation! He only got one apartment."

"."

Lu Zhizhang was indeed a little embarrassed.

He was the director of the factory office, so according to the rules, he would be the first one to get a new house. After the new house was built, it was decided who would get the old house, which was a great favor! No one dared to say no.

But now, when everyone looks at this vast concrete jungle before their eyes, the resentment that has been pent up in their hearts for decades is beginning to become difficult to suppress.

However, Wang Qinshan's next words helped Lu Zhizhang out of the predicament.

"Director Lu, it seems that the situation in your unit is similar to that of ours before!"

"Oh? Deputy Director Wang, what you said... Hehehe..."

Wang Qinshan exhaled and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, three years ago, I was the director of the Changbei Machinery Factory. I had the final say on all matters, including housing allocation, salary increases, and job transfers."

"."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Wang Qinshan with strange eyes.

You used to be the top leader, and now you are the deputy manager. Are you a "defeated general"?

Facing the strange looks from everyone, Wang Qinshan did not show any indignation, but said calmly: "Three years ago, Hong Kong capital increased its investment proportion and achieved foreign capital holding.
At the time, I didn’t understand why our country’s enterprises could be controlled by outsiders. But after just two years, I was convinced.”

Wang Qinshan pointed to the dormitory building in front of him and said: "After Hong Kong capital achieved controlling stake, the first beneficiaries were the workers, and the second was the country."

"You all know that our state-owned enterprises have to hand over profits, and if we want to use the money, we have to submit a report."

"Although Hong Kong investors still have to hand over profits in proportion after taking control, we have more money to work with, so we can build factories, dormitories, and R&D plants every day."

"In just three years, our company has become a major taxpayer in Changping County, and our superiors are very satisfied with us.
We also have the best worker welfare in the county, so there are countless people who want to transfer into our company through backdoors or connections."

"In the past, it was very difficult for workers in our company to find a wife because they had no house and no money. But now, matchmakers are blocking the door of our company every day."

"."

Wang Qinshan's eyes were confused, as if he had returned to the days two years ago when he couldn't figure anything out.

"When I was transferred to the factory, the old factory manager told me that even if we have to work hard for a lifetime and sacrifice our lives, we must modernize the factory and let the workers live a good life."

"I have been working in the factory for 20 years. I have worked diligently and conscientiously, but not only have I not been able to meet the requirements of the old factory manager, I have almost ruined the factory."

"But they have only been controlled by Hong Kong capital for three years. Look at us! How are we inferior to them?"

Wang Qinshan smiled faintly, pointed at his head and said: "We are behind in our thinking. If we lag behind, we must learn and be convinced!"

"."

Wang Qinshan's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

People like Master Mu are thinking about whether the newly-divided branch factory will be like Changbei Machinery Company, satisfying the superiors, employees and making outsiders envious.

Lu Zhizhang's considerations went even deeper, because he knew the unit's problems and difficulties.

According to regulations, state-owned enterprises must hand over 10% to 15% of their profits each year. In some special industries, the amount is even higher, possibly exceeding 20%.

But this is just a regulation. Some lower-level state-owned and collective units are not so disciplined.

For example, for district-owned enterprises or enterprises under the street office, sometimes a phone call will come in and all the cash in the unit's account will be transferred away.

The unit is state-owned, so there is nothing wrong with this operation. However, when the unit needs technical transformation or expansion, the funds sent from above may be "loans."

This model certainly has its original intention and reason, but if the unit profit is not that high, the company's development will be in trouble.

The profits of private enterprises will all go into recycling, research and development, expansion, etc., so the difference in efficiency between the two is equivalent to 10%-15%. It is obvious which one is more flexible.

【Alas, there are so many difficulties! 】

Lu Zhizhang was unsure, because he wanted the top leader to be like Wang Qinshan and willingly admit that he was behind. He didn't dare to think about it, he didn't dare to think about it!

After Wang Qinshan expressed his feelings for a while, he returned to normal.

He said to Lu Zhizhang and others, "We have one last place to visit today. Please follow me to the R&D workshop to take a look! To be honest, people are generally not allowed to enter the R&D workshop. I can't even enter casually!" "Really? That's such an honor, haha~"

Lu Zhizhang laughed and followed Wang Qinshan to the R&D workshop.

The R&D workshop was indeed not open to anyone. There were dozens of people in the visiting group, but in the end only less than ten people entered.
After everyone entered, the first thing they saw was a Beijing 130 produced by the company.

This 130-ton car was fixed on a rack, the rear axle tires were removed, and a load device was installed, which should be to simulate the state of the car running fully loaded.

Master Mu said in surprise: "Deputy Manager Wang, this is our factory's product! What are you researching?"

"Study the gearbox!"

Li Ye got down from the driver's seat of the 130 and explained to everyone: "Changbei has introduced advanced gearbox technology from the Lighthouse Country, which just meets the technical requirements of the 130 and 136 models. There are many 130 manufacturers in the country, and this is a huge market."

It was then that everyone discovered that there was not only Beijing 130 in the workshop, but also Tianjin 130, Blue Sword 130, and so on.

Master Mu subconsciously said: "Lighthouse's gearbox technology? That must be very advanced."

But Li Ye smiled and said, "Whether it is advanced or not, that's up to you professionals like Master Mu and Master Miao to decide!"

"Then let me try!"

Master Mu didn't hesitate. He climbed into the cab and operated it. Then he frowned and said, "Doesn't the gearbox of this lighthouse have synchronizers?"

Before the 140s, automobile gearboxes produced in the mainland basically did not have a transmission. Later, Dongfeng began to have synchronizers, which made shifting gears easier and was well received by drivers.

However, the advanced gearbox of this lighthouse model does not have synchronizers, and if the throttle is not coordinated well, there will be a clicking sound when shifting gears.

At this time, Li Dayong explained: "We have introduced two types of gearboxes, one with synchronizers and one without synchronizers. This one is cheaper and more durable."

"Oh, if it's durable, then yes, but the driver will be a little tired."

Master Mu got out of the car and nodded, but from his expression you could tell he was just being polite.

These days, drivers are all public employees, and ease of driving and comfort are the first requirements. As for whether the car is sturdy or durable, that is not something public drivers should care about.

The car breaks down easily? Isn't that good? If it breaks down, I can take it to the repair shop and have a few days off.

Only self-employed drivers will consider the durability of the car!

Let me put it this way! As long as the car is his own, he will choose a durable one even if it makes the driver tired to death.

Li Dayong saw Master Mu's disapproving expression, so he asked, "Masters, how many kilometers do you think this gearbox needs to be under warranty before it can meet the requirements for installation?"

“How many kilometers is the warranty?”

Master Mu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Master Miao.

The cars they sell don't have a warranty of tens of thousands of kilometers.

Master Miao said in a deep voice: "Young Master, how many kilometers do you think the warranty should be?"

Li Dayong opened his mouth, looked at Li Ye again, and then reported a number: "At least 50,000 kilometers!"

"."

. . . . . . . . . .

That night, Changbei Machinery Company hosted a grand banquet, which was full and drunk.

As the leader, Lu Zhizhang drank too much as expected.

Li Ye was not drunk because he was driving, so he helped Lu Zhizhang into his Santana.

But after getting in the car, Lu Zhizhang became much more sober.

He asked Li Ye: "Chief Li, your classmate said he was willing to promise a 50,000-kilometer warranty. Was he kidding?"

Li Ye said as he drove: "Of course not, he actually wanted to insure it for 80,000 kilometers, but I asked him to be more cautious, so he set a mileage of overhaul similar to that of the engine."

Gasoline engines from the 1980s needed a major overhaul after every 50,000 kilometers.

Lu Zhizhang smiled and said, "No, what I mean is, does your classmate have the final say? After we go back today, Master Mu and the others will definitely leak the news, and it will be difficult to take it back if it gets out."

"Oh, he definitely has the final say, and he has to admit the loss."

"."

Seeing that Lu Zhizhang still didn't believe it, Li Ye smiled and said, "This classmate of mine has been interning in Changbei for three years. In terms of practical skills and experience, he is more experienced than many engineers. In addition, he is dating Pei Wencong's sister!"

"."

Lu Zhizhang was the person Li Ye was trying to win over, so it was normal to leak some secrets to him, and this matter was no secret in Changbei.

But Lu Zhizhang was stunned.

He had met Pei Wencong at Li Ye’s wedding, the big boss!
"So, you are all the son-in-law party!"
