In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 106: Hongfeng Factory's annual profit from imitation is over million? Director Xie is ready to accept the equipment for expansion

"You support the crazy Fang in the power room to develop a super-long-range rocket launcher? All units are against it, even his teacher doesn't support it. What do you think? Is the money from the school-enterprise business too easy to come by, or is it too much money with nowhere to spend it?"

Du Guowang changed the subject.

"???"

School news spreads so quickly?

Not confidential at all?

I just found Li Rui in the morning, and Du Guowang found out in the afternoon.

"The news didn't spread as widely as you thought. Everyone who should know it knows it. After Deputy Minister Ren left in the afternoon, the principal convened a meeting of relevant leaders to discuss the matter..."

Deputy Minister Ren left in the afternoon.

The 1200 million yuan of funding was allocated to the school without any discount.

The series of information from Du Guowang made Xie Wei's brain almost unable to process.

Isn’t it said that it’s hard to get projects these days? Technical teams have to carry their bedding rolls and block the leaders’ doors, but they may not even get projects or funds!

Before, whenever Li Rui went to the department to ask for projects and funds, he always acted like a scoundrel by throwing tantrums and rolling around.

Deputy Minister Ren came and gave 1200 million directly, which really made Xie Wei unable to react.

What a huge sum of money!

"The projects supported by the higher authorities will not lack funds. The principal said that the school-enterprise office is currently unable to provide the start-up funds for the rocket launcher. The school will provide 80 yuan for the start-up of the project, and will not provide any more money in the future..."

What the hell?

Don't tell unless you give.

80 for a long-range rocket launcher project!
This old guy is completely shameless.

"Don't even think about looking for him. After the meeting, he went back to the ministry with Deputy Minister Ren to report on his work."

Du Guowang looked at Xie Wei with an angry expression, "I don't know what you think of this project that is not supported by the army, the superiors, and the school! Fang Pengju is a lunatic. If he wasn't really good in rocket engines and other fields, the school would have asked him to clean the toilet! This guy has used a lot of the power laboratory funds for his crazy project..."

"..."

If Du Guowang hadn't told him, Xie Wei really wouldn't have known about Fang Pengju's dark history.

For a moment, I didn't know how to respond to Du Guowang's words.

Du Guowang did not give up just because he was silent, and continued with a dark face: "After the school found out that Fang Pengju had misappropriated funds to develop ultra-long-range rocket launchers, they directly subdivided the project and funds to each person in the power room. He still did not give up, and conducted ultra-long-range rocket launcher experiments in the name of other projects... It's a pity that you are so smart, how could you be so confused about this matter!"

"Director Du, didn't the principal say during the meeting that the rocket launchers were for export?"

Xie Wei knew that Du Guowang was thinking about himself. Not to mention ultra-long-range rocket launchers, even a rocket launcher launch system with a longer range could not be produced with 80 yuan.

No matter how he explained, the prospects for rocket launchers were hard to explain.

This is clear from Du Guowang's attitude.

It's the issue of funding. Li Rui went too far.

"You know how shameless Li Rui is. He directly used export as an excuse and demanded that the 80 yuan of the project be spent, and the funds should be paid by the school-enterprise office. The school does not interfere with the finances of the school-enterprise office. The rocket launcher was prepared by the school-enterprise office for export and foreign exchange earnings..."

Hey!
No wonder Du Guowang looked unhappy when he saw me.

It turns out that old guy Li Rui doesn't want to pay.

Considering that the funds required for the initial preparation stage of a long-range rocket launcher with a range of hundreds of kilometers are not high, 80 yuan as start-up funds is barely enough.

Li Rui wanted to use some tricks to integrate rocket-related technologies directly into the school's rocket project, and use the existing launch platforms from other units.

The principal has a plan, and Xie Wei has a way out.

I didn't take it too seriously.

During dinner, even Liang Hongling was asking Xie Wei why he supported Fang Pengju's project.

This made Xie Wei even more confused about how to answer.

This made Xie Wei realize that Fang Pengju was not very popular in school.

"Xie Wei, what do you think about the future development of the school-enterprise office?"

On the way back to school, Wang Zheng did not ask Xie Wei about Fang Pengju's ultra-long-range rocket launcher project. In his opinion, since Xie Wei was willing to support it, he must have considered it comprehensively.

Then he asked Xie Wei about the future development arrangements of the School-Enterprise Office.

Wu Tao and he are the heads of the school-enterprise office. They were both assistants originally and had no experience in enterprise management, especially in business development.

He was completely blind and just followed Xie Wei's arrangements.

"Have you found a chemical plant to cooperate with?"

As Xie Wei walked, he turned and asked Wang Zheng.

Without waiting for Wang Zheng to answer, he continued, "Laboratory conditions are not suitable for large-scale production. The core materials of daily chemical products such as AES and fragrances must be produced by chemical plants that the school-enterprise office can control."

There is no way around it.

Unless a patent law is formulated, Xie Wei knows that even if a patent law is initially established, it will not have much effect.

"The school-enterprise office does not have enough time to invest in building a factory. The production line of Huadu Oil Chemical Factory only needs to be simply modified and some equipment added to be put into large-scale production. It will be officially put into production on May 1 next year."

Wang Zheng is currently working with the Huadu Oil and Fat Chemical Plant and has a better understanding of the situation.

"Since we can't catch up, we can find a factory with relevant production lines and put them into production with a little modification. The demand for these key raw materials is not too large, and the initial production capacity requirements are not high."

Xie Wei thought about it and made a suggestion.

The school has a production factory which can also serve as a training base for related majors.

It is good for both students and factories.

Production technology does not need to be placed in the school's chemistry laboratory, otherwise these market-oriented technology research and development experiments will occupy the school's limited laboratory space and equipment.

That old guy Li Rui is not responsible at all.

Logically, Li Rui should communicate with the Harbin Chemical Industry Bureau, find a chemical plant, and allocate funds directly to the School-Enterprise Office.

"There is no suitable chemical plant in Harbin, but in Shenyang..."

Thinking about the situation in Shencheng, Wang Zheng felt a headache.

All factories are welcome to cooperate.

But when they hear that they have to pay for the technology and share the profits later, no one is willing to do it.

"Do you know the situation of Siping United Chemical Plant?"

"what?"

Wang Zheng looked at Xie Wei in confusion, "I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. I guess it's about the same as Shen Hua."

"Brother Wang, the school-enterprise cooperation is a pilot project. We have no experience to draw on for any work. Without investigation, we have no right to speak. I guess you are..."

Xie Wei was dissatisfied with Wang Zheng's attitude.

Siping is such a large chemical plant with a more complete range of products than Shenyang Chemical, so the two sides can have more opportunities for cooperation.

As a result, the person in charge of the school-enterprise office didn’t know!

At present, daily chemical products will be the main source of income for the School-Enterprise Office.

It would be strange if Xie Wei was satisfied with the person in charge's attitude.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Director Wu and go to Siping as soon as possible to understand the situation. We'll try to get some cooperation."

Seeing Xie Wei unhappy, Wang Zheng hurriedly said.

"If we can't cooperate, we will contract out their relevant production workshops. The production formula must be in our own hands!"

Xie Wei once again emphasized that the formula and process are in their hands.

"contract?"

Seeing Xie Wei's terribly serious expression under the dim street lights, Wang Zheng, who wanted to question the possibility of the contract, finally said nothing and nodded silently in agreement.

"Brother Wang, the reform has just started, and the units don't understand the policy, nor do they know how to operate. If the school-enterprise office cannot take the leading position in the cooperation process, it will be difficult to develop in the future. Without patent protection, once huge economic benefits are generated, the cooperative units can do anything."

Xie Wei was worried that Wang Zheng would not take it seriously, so he emphasized it again.

In an era without patent protection, core competitiveness can only be kept confidential and strictly controlled in one's own hands.

The process formula of AES and artificial flavors is not particularly complicated. Professionals know the process and general formula and can figure it out after a few experiments.

It may be imperfect and not have good performance at the beginning, but for the sake of profit, the manufacturing factories will not care about the quality and will directly put it on the market.

It may even lead to a situation where bad money drives out good money.

After the reform and opening up, various systems were imperfect at the beginning. For a period of time, counterfeit and shoddy products were rampant in the market, and even the manufacturers who initially developed the products were killed.

Xie Wei does not hand over the process formula of core materials, not only to make the partners share the profits honestly, but also to avoid the emergence of counterfeit products as much as possible.

"You can take charge of this matter..."

"As for reform, no one has experience. As long as it is beneficial to the development of the unit, the higher authorities will definitely not interfere. The better the subordinate units develop, the greater the benefit to the leaders."

Xie Wei had no idea when the theory of black cat and white cat appeared.

Since the reform and opening up, one of the most rigid criteria for promotion assessment of cadres is: GDP!

Whoever can make subordinate units develop faster will have a bigger stage to display their talents.

"By the way, Brother Wang, before you leave, please find Director Yu. He has the contact information for Siping. When you go there, you can get some information from him first."

Thinking of the middle-aged woman on the train who was so enthusiastic about introducing him to a progressive young woman, Xie Wei felt that maybe he could really get to know Siping United Chemical Plant through her.

At least, it's better than Wu Tao and Wang Zheng who are rushing around like headless flies.

"it is good!"

After returning to the dormitory, Xie Wei stopped studying.

Sitting at the table in the dormitory, I thought about the various problems currently faced by the School-Enterprise Office and systematically sorted out the existing resources in my notebook.

Li Rui and other school leaders signed and stamped their agreement, pledging that they would no longer interfere with the finances of the school-enterprise office.

As long as Wu Tao and Wang Zheng hadn't had their heads stuck in the door, they would not have objected to Xie Wei's secret control of the School-Enterprise Office in the past few years.

The two people who had no experience at all developed the school-enterprise office according to Xie Wei's ideas. If they did a good job, the achievement would be theirs; if they did not do well, they could push the responsibility onto Xie Wei.

In the end no one has to take responsibility.

The next morning, Wang Zheng first found Yu Guofeng, got the address from him, and then he and Wu Tao boarded the train to Siping.

It’s not far from Harbin to Siping, and you can arrive there at noon.

Xie Wei didn't even think about the long-range rocket launcher anymore.

Fang Pengju did not come to see Xie Wei, which made Xie Wei happy to have some free time.

Instead, he devoted his energy to computer projects.

He did not participate in the further improvement and design of the calculator, but discussed with Yu Guofeng and prepared to develop his own computer language: Chinese programming language!

For computers to develop, they need to have more functions and higher performance.

The realization of all functions requires various computer programs.

Programming languages ​​will be the basis.

Xie Wei proposed to develop a programming language for Chinese people that is centered on Chinese and based on Chinese thinking, oriented towards components and objects, and has cross-CPU and platform-independent features.

This will avoid the need to learn English before studying computer science in China.

The model of combining infinite registers with limited core word base is adopted to realize the free combination of Chinese morphemes.

By integrating the compiler and the interpreter, the Chinese code language can be used for both instruction and programming...

Yu Guofeng strongly supports Xie Wei's idea.

Not only did he get involved, he also wrote letters to his friends, classmates and students, hoping that they would also take part in the development.

There is too much preparation work to do in the early stages.

Such a huge system project cannot be solved by Xie Wei and Yu Guofeng alone, or even by the entire computer science department of Harbin Institute of Technology.

The most basic core is that the Chinese instruction set must be implanted in the hardware!
No matter how computer technology develops, the foundation is still binary machine language composed of 0s and 1s.

With the development of technology, computers run faster and faster. The instruction programs consisting of a series of 0s and 1s used in the vacuum tube era are too difficult to program and maintain in transistor computers with faster computing speeds.

Once an error occurs in the program, the maintainer will be frustrated!

Thus, assembly language came into being, which uses concise strings of letters and symbols instead of specific instruction binary codes.

Programs designed in assembly language still need to be translated into 0s and 1s so that the computer can understand them.

Assembly language programs, like machine language programs, are operations on hardware, and each instruction can only correspond to a subtle action of the actual operation.

After the emergence of integrated circuits, large-scale and even ultra-large-scale integrated circuits, assembly language became lengthy and began to cause headaches for programmers again.

High-level languages ​​were born that combined many related machine instructions into a single instruction and removed details that were related to specific operations but irrelevant to completing the work.

Computer programming languages ​​are actually divided into three levels:

The lowest level is the machine language of 0s and 1s;

The middle layer is assembly language;

The highest level is the high-level language.

No matter how high-level the language is, it needs to be translated into 0 and 1 codes that the lowest-level computer can understand through the intermediate assembly language!

If the assembly language is still English instructions, it doesn’t matter whether the high-level language is in Chinese.

This is also the so-called "Chinese programming" scam decades later.

Chinese programming has been hyped up to be something magical, even rising to the level of national security.

Even when backdoors in imported chips were exposed and the national information network security situation was severe, the Chinese programming language did not pass national review, let alone receive strong support and promotion from the country.

This explains the situation of Chinese programming in a few decades.

There is no other reason!

If you want to really engage in Chinese programming, you must start with the most basic hardware.

Microcomputers for personal use are just starting to take off, and Xie Wei is not working on it alone; he has the support of Harbin Institute of Technology and even the entire Seventh Ministry of Machine Building behind him!
Otherwise, Xie Wei wouldn't have thought of this.

Only by starting from the hardware, designing various Chinese instruction sets, and developing Chinese instructions from the most basic machine language can we truly realize Chinese language programming.

Chinese programming is also more in line with the Chinese way of thinking.

Export?

Xie Wei hasn’t considered it yet.

The domestic market is large enough.

Intel, Microsoft and other giants backed by Western governments will not compete honestly according to market rules.

Xie Wei had been exposed to Chinese programming and was familiar with how to replace English instructions with concise Chinese.

For example: if, end, begin, integer, real, logical, module, function, etc.

Xie Wei even plans to split the radicals of Chinese characters and introduce various letters to facilitate the writing of mathematical formulas, etc.

“This will be a huge project!”

These are Yu Guofeng’s original words.

“No matter how huge a project is, if it is not started, it will remain there forever. Once it is started, it will be reduced little by little, and one day it will be completed…”

Xie Wei answered.

If the domestic scientific and technological and industrial foundations were not so poor, Xie Wei would even skip the traditional integrated circuit computers that have been developed by Western countries for decades and switch directly to the quantum computer track!
no way.

In this day and age, quantum theory is still not perfect, and Xie Wei cannot figure it out by himself.

······
Hongguang Factory.

Factory director's office.

"Thank you, Director. This is a rice cooker produced in small batches in the factory. After inspection and testing, it meets the design specifications. The production quality is stable..."

Xu Changshuai held an electric rice cooker with a milky white plastic shell and several corresponding test reports and introduced the current situation to Xie Jianguo.

"Director Xu, thank you for your hard work."

Xie Jianguo didn't even look at the test report and his face was full of gratitude.

The first batch of rice cookers trial-produced by the factory had shells made of ABS engineering plastics by the state-owned Rongcheng Plastic Factory, which had been integrated into the Hongguang Factory; the inner liner was made of LC58 super-hard aviation aluminum ordered by the state-owned Rongcheng Aluminum Factory in 132 to support the construction of Factory 9, and was stamped by Hongguang Factory itself.

Other spare parts are basically produced by Hongguang Factory itself.

If Xie Wei had not made various plans before leaving, and Xie Jianguo had not done the preparatory work as the factory director, small-scale production would not have been possible so quickly.

“When will the factory start mass production?”

Only when the large-scale production process is stable and the quality is stable can Xu Changshuai and others return to school.

But now it seems that the Hongguang Factory has not made any preparations for large-scale production.

"Please wait a little longer. There are some problems in the factory right now, and it is not suitable for large-scale production in the short term."

Xie Jianguo looked apologetic.

He also knew that Xu Changshuai and others had long wanted to return to school.

Even though Hongguang Factory treated us to delicious food and wine every day.

"Regarding the matter of Hongfeng Factory imitating our products? Your city's Industry Bureau doesn't care?"

During the time Xu Changshuai was in Chengdu, he also heard people in the factory scolding the people at Hongfeng Factory for being shameless.

This situation is beyond imagination. Seeing Xie Jianguo nod, he curled his lips and said: "They can imitate rice cookers and pressure cookers without technical content, but they can't imitate rice cookers unless they can get the coating material."

Xie Jianguo just smiled and said nothing.

But I felt bitter in my heart: Everything had come true as Xie Wei had predicted. The entry threshold was too low, and anyone could copy it. If the rice cooker was put on the market, it would give people a huge prospect. For the sake of profit, even if they couldn't get the coating materials, the copycat factories would directly push inferior products to the market.

In the end, it was the Hongguang Factory that was affected.

After pacifying Xu Changshuai, Xie Jianguo went directly to the Industrial Bureau to find Wei Guobing.

"Hu Chunlin supported the production of antimony pots and pressure cookers at the Hongfeng Factory at the meeting on the grounds that they were both subordinate to the Industrial Bureau... When will the rice cookers be put into production?"

Wei Guobing looked at Xie Jianguo with a face full of guilt.

Without obtaining the production process and technology, Hongfeng Factory, with the tacit approval of Hu Chunlin, organized personnel such as Luo Chengye, Hou Yongjun and others to directly find the raw material suppliers to obtain the raw materials, and then imitated the products of Hongguang Factory.

The machine tool production technology of Hongfeng Factory was backward, so it was easy for it to produce antimony pots and pressure cookers that had no technical content.

In just over a month, products have begun to be supplied to the market continuously.

In order to attract distributors, Hongfeng Factory’s products were even 20% cheaper than Hongguang Factory’s.

Wei Guobin and Hu Chunlin were almost at loggerheads at the meeting, and the conflict between the two was completely open.

But the problem still remains unresolved.

Wei Guobing, the parachuted deputy director, is just a deputy!

“It is not appropriate to introduce rice cookers and the like to the market at this time.”

Xie Jianguo knew Wei Guobin's situation.

However, they are not willing to follow Xie Wei's advice and discard products with low technological content and launch new products when someone imitates them.

Any factory that is unwilling to spend the cost to obtain technology and processes from Hongguang Factory will pay a higher price.

Xie Jianguo already has a plan and is starting to implement it.

"If you continue like this, Hongguang Factory will lose all orders. Antimony pots and pressure cookers are not planned production, and they do not require industrial coupons to be sold on the market. In order to attract dealers, Hongfeng Factory's price is 400% lower than yours, and production is expanding. In addition, Luo Chengye borrowed million from the bank through Hu Chunlin's relationship to expand production."

With a grim look on his face, Wei Guobing introduced to Xie Jianguo the situation he had just found out.

The Hongfeng Factory got off to a very bad start.

Once they achieve market success, many companies will no longer consider seeking their own markets. Instead, they will just buy back and imitate other companies’ products when they see that they have good market performance.

Even though Wei Guobin almost got into a fight with Hu Chunlin several times during the meeting, he was unable to prevent the counterfeit products of Hongfeng Factory from entering the market.

"Just copy it! I'm just worried they won't expand the scale!"

Xie Jianguo sneered and immediately changed the subject: "Director Wei, what was the result of the pilot project at Hongguang Factory?"

Wei Guobin's face instantly became gloomier.

The voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "Hu Chunlin said that Hongfeng Factory is large in scale and has a good technical foundation, and my objection is useless. The pilot unit is temporarily shelved... I am most worried that Hongfeng Factory will start to imitate the rice cooker when it is first launched on the market..."

"So the rice cooker will not be on the market now. The production of the inner pot coating material must be controlled by the Hongguang factory before it can be considered."

Xie Jianguo shook his head.

"You know the situation..."

Wei Guobing looked at Xie Jianguo and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He helped to contact the Chemical Bureau, whose leaders were very willing to hand over the small chemical factory with poor technical foundation and no production to the Industrial Bureau.

However, even the small chemical factory that had no production plan was unwilling to be merged with the Hongguang Factory.

The selected small factories not only asked the Hongguang Factory to hand over the process formula to them, but also asked the Industrial Bureau to fund them to upgrade their production lines.

Who can accept it?

"It's too late to build a chemical workshop now. Why don't you contact the school and have them transport goods from the Northeast for production?"

Wei Guobing thought that the coating material for the inner pot of rice cookers was not used much, so he suggested that Xie Jianguo ask the school to transport it from the Northeast.

It takes several months to produce one ton of paint.

Wei Guobin now realizes more clearly that if the production of anti-stick coatings is not controlled by the Hongguang Factory, the chemical plant that supplies the materials will supply it to the imitative Hongfeng Factory without any hesitation.

"At present, there is no problem with the small-scale trial production. I will think about other things after I find a way to deal with the troublemaker Hongfeng Factory!"

Xie Jianguo was not surprised that Wei Guobin was unable to stop Hongfeng Factory from imitating.

Hu Chunlin supports Hongfeng Factory.

His conflict with Wei Guohan became public.

"We really should find a way. Just go ahead and do it... As long as it doesn't break the law or betray the interests of the country, I'll cover it for you!"

Wei Guobing's intention was clear, he was backing them up from behind.

No matter how big a mess Xie Jianguo makes, he will take responsibility for it.

If I don't directly conflict with Hu Chunlin, there will be a lot of room for maneuver.

"If I can't bear it, before I collapse, I will find a way to transfer you to the Northeast."

Seeing Xie Jianguo's disbelieving look, Wei Guobing sighed silently.

When Xu Zhihui first received the letter of introduction from Kashewei, Wei Guobin knew the relationship between Xu Zhihui and Hu Chunlin, and he did not take the initiative as he had not yet established a firm foothold.

It’s not that Wei Guogeng doesn’t want to use Xu Zhihui as a breakthrough point.

Although Xu Zhihui is not a good-for-nothing, he is not a fool either. He did not bite anyone in the police station!

He knew that if he didn't expose the other people, someone would come forward to plead for them.

"Director Wei, we are preparing to reduce the price of the antimony pots and pressure cookers of Hongguang Factory! The preliminary plan is to reduce the price by half! If necessary, we will continue to reduce the price..."

"They produce on a larger scale and at a lower cost. Does this reduce the price?"

Wei Guobin's brows were knitted together.

He couldn't understand what the price reduction Xie Jianguo mentioned would mean.

"Instead of lowering the price now, we will wait until Hongfeng Factory's production capacity is expanded and put into production, and after the rice cookers receive export orders at the Canton Fair, Hongguang Factory will not only lower the price on a large scale, but will also give the production technology and process to the company that approached us before for free... In addition, I will have someone tell Luo Chengye about the rice cookers..."

"Suck~"

Wei Guobing took a breath of cold air and looked at Xie Jianguo in horror, who had a nonchalant expression on his face.

The honest Xie Jianguo is so insidious!
It directly dug such a huge pit for Hongguang Factory!

Hongfeng Factory borrowed millions to expand its production capacity. Right after it went into production, Hongguang Factory cut its prices in half, leaving the profit almost to zero. How else can Hongfeng Factory produce?

Can't even pay back the loan.

"If you need any help from me, just ask."

Suddenly, Wei Guobin became excited.

The chance to break the impasse lies in Xie Jianguo's sinister trick.

······
Hongfeng Factory.

At the originally deserted factory gate, more than a dozen military green Jiefang trucks carrying goods were lined up in a long queue on the side of the road.

It was the same grand occasion as the Hongguang Factory before.

Factory director's office.

"Yesterday we produced 570 antimony pots and 137 pressure cookers. Today, there are four more cars waiting for the goods..."

Logistics Chief Hou Yongjun reported to Factory Director Luo Chengye with a smile on his face.

Unwilling to give up after failing to obtain the technology from Hongguang Factory, the two men directly obtained a few antimony pots and pressure cookers produced by Hongguang Factory and asked the factory's technical department to work on them. In a short time, they figured out the production process.

"The production capacity is still not enough! Hongguang Factory now produces thousands of antimony pots and more than 400 pressure cookers every day! The gross profit is over 4 yuan every day. Our scale is nearly times that of Hongguang Factory, and this output..."

Luo Chengye looked dissatisfied.

Originally he was just the deputy factory director, who was promoted by Hu Chunlin.

After successfully imitating the antimony pot and pressure cooker in the factory, Luo Chengye went to Hu Chunlin's house with gifts one night, and the next day, he became the director of Hongfeng Factory.

"We are short of stamping and extrusion equipment. The new equipment will arrive before the end of the year. After installation and commissioning, it will be put into production around April. The factory is currently making other preparations, training technical workers, and contacting dealers... Once the new equipment is put into production, the daily production capacity will be unmatched by the Hongguang factory."

Hou Yongjun hurried to explain.

After Luo Chengye took over as factory director, he asked Hu Chunlin to help him find bank connections to borrow 400 million yuan to purchase stamping equipment, manufacturing molds, injection molding machines and other production equipment.

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

After the Hongfeng Factory started production, it was discovered that the antimony pot produced by the Hongguang Factory was sold at a market price of 14 yuan, with a profit of up to 7 yuan; the pressure cooker sold at a price of 6 yuan also had a profit of 42 yuan.

It is natural to understand why Hongguang Factory is unwilling to give out its production technology.

It was previously proposed that other factories produce and sell them.

Isn't it just preparing to eat the meat themselves and give some soup to the units that help them produce the food?

After knowing the real profit, Luo Chengye directly expanded the production line with a monthly production capacity of 12 antimony pots and 36000 pressure cookers.

After production starts, based on the current selling price of 11 yuan per antimony pot, each antimony pot will generate a profit of 2 yuan, and the antimony pot can generate a profit of 4 yuan a month!
The factory price of the pressure cooker is 33 yuan, and there is still a profit of 6 yuan per piece.

After going into production, the pressure cooker will have a profit of 56.16 yuan per month.

The two items combined will bring Hongfeng Factory more than 113 million in profits per month.

Tens of millions a year!

It was this prospect that made Hu Chunlin support Hongfeng Factory despite opposition from Wei Guobin and others.

After going into production, how could the superiors fail to see such amazing results?
Hu Chunlin's position must be moved up.

"The Chinese New Year is less than a month away. Chief Hou, the logistics department should organize some activities to bring back apples from the north, dried fish from the coast, fresh hairtail, dried kelp, etc. Contact the meat processing factory and ask them to give everyone more meat so that our factory can have a prosperous Chinese New Year this year!"

Luo Chengye arranged it with a heroic look on his face.

The prospects are so bright and it creates so many benefits. If we don’t share the benefits with the factory cadres and workers, will we hand them all over to the state?

"Also, contact the construction company. The factory will start building the cadres' dormitories next year..."

"Director, there has been no movement at the Hongguang Factory. I'm worried..."

Seeing Luo Chengye's face full of ambition and looking forward to the future, Hou Yongjun had to remind him to be careful about the reaction of Hongguang Factory.

Xie Jianguo was secretly plotting against Xu Zhihui, and few leading cadres in the system were unaware of it.

But no one could say anything to Xie Jianguo.

After all, it was Xu Zhihui himself who led an immoral life and had problems with his personal conduct.

The Industrial Bureau even held a special meeting to rectify the lifestyle issues of leading cadres.

"What is there to worry about? The products of Hongguang Factory are almost unsalable now. Although they are developing an electric rice cooker, so what? Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to make it. Once they have it done, we will get samples as soon as possible and have the technical department make it accordingly..."

Having already tasted the sweetness, Luo Chengye didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Hongguang Factory even foolishly sent 500,000 yuan to Harbin Institute of Technology, asking it to help develop new technology products.

Hongfeng Factory can copy it by spending only a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars.

"But……"

"No buts. Xie Jianguo is just an ordinary technician, what can he do? Wei Guobing can't even protect himself. As long as our expanded production line is put into production, we will become the first reform pilot of the Industrial Bureau. By then, Hongguang Factory will have nothing to do..."

Looking at Luo Chengye's expression, Hou Yongjun couldn't say what was in his heart anymore.

He really wanted to remind Luo Chengye that once Xie Jianguo gave the production technology and processes to other factories for free, it would be a disaster for the Hongfeng Factory, which had borrowed millions to expand its production line!

Now, he has received news: Qin Bailin, the business section chief promoted by Xie Jianguo, is talking to several factory managers who also wanted to get the production technology of Hongguang Factory for free.

Knowing that Luo Chengye had been overwhelmed by the current good situation, he would not listen to anyone's opinions.

Hou Yongjun had no choice but to follow Director Luo's instructions.

Hongguang Factory.

Xie Jianguo's office.

When Qin Bailin entered the room, he looked around to see if there was anyone around, and then he carefully closed the door. He then walked up to Xie Jianguo and said in a low voice, "Director, we have already negotiated with four factories, and we have given them the technology and processes. After seeing the benefits of Hongfeng Factory, several of them have long been jealous."

"You stressed that they should not lower the price, and put it on the market after the new year, right?"

Xie Jianguo also asked in a low voice.

"I emphasized it. But..."

Qin Bailin looked at Xie Jianguo with a puzzled look on his face. After a pause, he asked, "Director, those factories are jealous. They haven't paid wages for several months. The New Year is coming soon. If we don't produce quickly and put it on the market, the cadres and employees of the factory won't be able to celebrate the New Year. Hongfeng Factory has been distributing things every day these days. Apples shipped from the north are given to cadres in 20 kilograms and to employees in 10 kilograms. Dried sea fish and fresh hairtail shipped from the coast are given away by cadres and employees of the entire factory everywhere..."

His meaning was obvious.

The brother units that came to us before were already having a hard time.

Having obtained the same technology as Hongfeng Factory, which started frantically distributing all kinds of New Year goods that are not usually seen half a month before the Chinese New Year, how could they not be stimulated?

Can a verbal agreement be useful?
"We have to make them jealous. If they are not jealous, how can they launch the product ahead of schedule? If they don't launch the product ahead of schedule, how can we lower the price? Since they want to grab our products and market, can they do it without paying a price?"

Xie Jianguo had a cold smile on his face.

But it made Qin Bailin's face even more confused.

He looked at Xie Jianguo in confusion.

"This is what Xie Wei calls a business war. Even though he's my son, I have no idea what's going on in his head. The current situation was predicted before he left... Now I understand his thinking a little bit."

Xie Jianguo was very happy when he saw Qin Bailin’s puzzled face.

Although, when he first heard what Xie Wei said, his confusion and doubt were more serious than Qin Bailin's.

"..."

Looking at Xie Jianguo's expression which said, "Please beg me! Please beg me quickly! I really want to tell you the inside story," Qin Bailin really didn't know how to ask.

"In Xie Wei's words, we need to kill a chicken to scare the monkey. Killing one chicken won't scare the monkey for long, but killing a large number of them... Hongfeng Factory has borrowed 400 million to expand its production line, and the raw materials ordered to expand production capacity have begun to be transported to the factory. Once they find other competitors in the market with lower prices than them, do they have any other options besides lowering the price?"

Xie Jianguo still couldn't hold it in.

This kind of exciting thing has never been shared with others before.

It's really upsetting.

Of course, Xie Wei had anticipated this situation, but this kind of outrageous operation was definitely not proposed by Xie Wei.

Xie Wei said that once counterfeit products appear on the market, the price will be reduced directly.

The costs of the Hongguang Factory had been recovered long ago. In addition to what was handed over to the Industrial Bureau and the state, the factory still had millions of funds left.

What Xie Wei had proposed was actually to tell Xie Jianguo to compare prices with international competitors of the same quality; to compare quality and service with competitors of the same price...

Xie Wei simply disdains low-end products with no technological content.

However, Xie Jianguo couldn't swallow this humiliation.

Everything about Hongguang Factory was created by his son. If other units negotiated nicely and gave them three or five hundred thousand or shared some of the profits, Xie Jianguo would provide them with the production technology.

But, everyone wants to get it for free!

Especially when Hongfeng Factory imitated its own products and launched them into the market, and in order to snatch Hongguang Factory's distributors, it directly reduced the price by 20%. If the products had not been in short supply, many department store managers would have paid in advance in order to get the products first. Hongguang Factory would now have no orders.

"Director, do you mean that those factories that have obtained the production technology from us will start to produce frantically before the New Year? In order to obtain orders, they will further reduce the price based on the price of Hongfeng Factory?"

"Yes! The more you tell them not to sell, the more they will sell; the more you prevent them from lowering the price, the more they will lower the price."

Xie Jianguo was all smiles.

My son, who has no experience, cannot use such a method.

"Isn't this going to be a mess?"

"How can we expand production without causing chaos? The inner pot of the rice cooker also needs a press! Hongfeng Factory bought a lot this time, and the tonnage of the hydraulic press is not small..."

Xie Jianguo looked very proud.

"..."

From the moment Xie Jianguo drank and pretended to be drunk with those persons in charge who came to ask for technology and processes, Qin Bailin thought that he had realized Xie Jianguo's insidiousness.

But now I realize that what I knew was just the surface.

I'm afraid that since Hongfeng Factory started imitating Hongguang Factory's products, Xie Jianguo has been planning to get Hongfeng Factory's equipment and personnel.

Hongfeng Factory.

Today, two truckloads of white sugar were brought back from other places. The cadres and workers of the entire factory were smiling and standing outside the warehouse holding various containers to receive the white sugar.

After receiving the sugar, the Jiefang truck would return with the newly produced antimony pots and pressure cookers.

Luo Chengye was sitting in the office with his legs crossed, humming a little tune.

During this period, everyone in the factory was extremely respectful to him.

"Director, something bad has happened..."

"I can't be any better! Damn it, Chief Hou, it's the end of the year, if you can't speak, then don't talk!"

Hou Yongjun who rushed in from outside instantly ruined Director Luo's good mood.

"Director, several Liberation trucks from other places that were waiting in line outside for goods have left... According to what I have learned, they have gone to the Red Star, Hongguang, and Hongjiang factories to pick up goods. The highest prices from these factories are 15% lower than ours..."

"what?"

Luo Chengye jumped up suddenly.

The whole person felt as if struck by lightning.
