Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 296 You shouldn’t stay in the factory!

"Boss, I bought these toy cars in Pianer City."

Chen Luyang said, "This time when I went to Pianer City, I found that people are very receptive to toy cars and have strong purchasing power."

"The imported cars that cost just over 10 yuan at the Overseas Chinese Store were sold out the instant they were announced. People were willing to spend money and were willing to spend it on cars."

"So I think if we can make our toy cars well, add some design changes and innovations, it won't be a problem to sell them at a higher price and in higher quantities."

As he spoke, Chen Luyang's eyes revealed a strong sense of confidence.

Without investigation, you have no right to speak.

If he hadn't been on this business trip to Pianer City, he wouldn't have known that car toys could sell so well!

Yu Anshan was also somewhat persuaded.

"You mean, if a small car toy like this sells for just over 10 yuan, people will buy it?"

"Demand exceeds supply!" Chen Luyang said:
"Leader, this is what I think."

"The Italian engineers in the factory are now helping us design the new car. Once the design is completed, the shape and details of the new car will be completely new compared to the previous ones."

"We can use this time point when the new car is built to launch our new car toy."

"and!"

"We can also go high-end this time. We can launch two small cars at the same time."

"One is a 1:1 replica of the same car, an authentic basic car toy."

"One is a high-end toy car designed entirely according to the drawings of Italian engineers."

"Basic car toys can still be sold for 3 yuan."

"For high-end car toys, the price can be adjusted upwards."

Although many of the structures and details designed by Marco Polo and others were cut.

But the reason they were cut was not because they looked bad, but because the machinery factory had to consider the cost.

If we can present these design ideas that cannot be adopted at present due to cost in the form of car toys,

Not only will it stand out in today's car toy market, but this high-end car toy may even be snapped up!
"The most important point!"

Chen Luyang leaned forward and knocked on Yu Anshan's desk with his right finger bones as if he couldn't help it.

"We are now the No. 1 project in the province."

"With this favorable situation, the provincial government will help us with publicity and cooperation."

"We are only responsible for making the products. The provincial government will naturally help and coordinate other matters and difficulties."

A machinery factory in a provincial capital has no say in the town and cannot easily enter high-end stores.

But what if provincial officials come forward to negotiate?
The intensity is definitely different!!!

"Leader, the time for reform and opening up is now, and there is no time to waste."

"There are so many excellent projects in the province, and the competition is fierce. This year, ours is the number one project receiving key support, but I'm not sure what will happen next year."

Yu Anshan was a little moved.

"Take these cars and let's go find the factory manager!"

"okay!"

……

After the two people entered Wang Qingzhou's office and told him about Chen Luyang's ideas, Wang Qingzhou was also shocked.

"It's just a small car, and it costs just over 10 yuan!!"

"I really didn't expect this!"

Wang Qingzhou believed that he was always keeping up with the trend of the times, reading books and newspapers every day and learning new knowledge about the country and society.

But he was also shocked by the terrible price and purchasing power.

But what Chen Luyang said makes sense!

Now is an important time for the machinery factory to innovate and upgrade its cars. If new models of car toys can also be launched, it is not certain that they will sell well.

"Hey! Old Yu, what did I tell you at the beginning?"

Wang Qingzhou pointed at Chen Luyang and smiled: "This person can't stay in the factory!"

“As soon as we let him out, he comes right back with new thoughts and ideas!”

Yu Anshan was also happy.

"Yes! I didn't believe you when you said that before."

“Now I really believe it!”

"If the Italian engineers and Japanese experts in the factory couldn't do without him, I would have sent him out to work!"

Chen Luyang sat next to him like a little quail, not daring to breathe loudly.

I was afraid that these two leaders would get excited and really set up a field office area for me in the open air.

Although the weather is getting warmer now, it is still chilly and you will get sick easily if you stay out there for too long.

"Don't be so tense here, Mr. Chen,"

Wang Qingzhou didn't intend to let him go: "This time when you went to Pianer City, besides doing research on the toy cars, did you find anything interesting?"

"Tell it to us both, and let us see the world."

Chen Luyang thought for a moment and said:

"There is indeed one more thing."

"The State Machinery Industry Commission approved the report of the First Ministry of Machinery Industry and agreed to establish the "Overwhelm the West Wind" Automobile Industry Joint Venture Company."

"It's just internal information now, and it will be officially announced to the public next month."

Wang Qingzhou nodded.

"I know this. This is a call from the Automobile Industry Corporation. It's a good thing!"

Chen Luyang looked at Wang Qingzhou in confusion.

"Isn't this the Ministry of First Machinery Industry's business? How did it become the Automobile Corporation?"

Wang Qingzhou explained: "The National Automotive Industry Corporation was originally established on the basis of the Automobile Bureau of the First Ministry of Machine Building. It is a large, state-owned, comprehensive automobile industry company. It is listed separately in our national plan and is specifically responsible for the industry management functions of the automobile industry."

"Ah! Like this."

Chen Luyang suddenly understood, and then seemed to have thought of something, and a light flashed in his dark eyes.

Wang Qingzhou took a glance and knew that Chen Luyang was up to something again!

"What did you think of again?"

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "I just thought it would be nice if I could get to know someone from the Automotive Industry Corporation."

Wang Qingzhou and Yu Anshan looked at him curiously.

Chen Luyang said, "When I heard about this before, I even asked if our machinery factory could also join the joint venture."

"But the people at the Shishan Machinery Factory said we're under the Third Ministry of Machine Building, and there's no way we can cross the line and interfere in the First Ministry of Machine Building's affairs."

"If there was a nominally established Automobile Industry Corporation, we wouldn't have to deal with the First Ministry of Machine Building and could contact the Corporation directly."

After hearing what Chen Luyang said, Wang Qingzhou really felt comforted!

Otherwise, he would be the son of the factory who grew up there!
Whenever I go out, I think about things at the factory!
Wang Qingzhou smiled and said, "Joining the joint venture is not as good as you think."

Chen Luyang nodded: "I know, but I wonder if I can just join them, but not work for them..."

Wang Qingzhou was amused by Chen Luyang's shameless words.

It is harmless for your own child to say some words to take advantage of others behind closed doors. On the contrary, it makes the child seem more homesick.

"Okay! Think about it." Wang Qingzhou said happily.

"When you figure it out later, don't forget to tell us so we can learn from it!"

Looking at Wang Qingzhou's expression, Chen Luyang laid the groundwork and finally revealed the real purpose of this trip!

"Director, I have one more thing to ask... I bought these toy cars with my own money and tickets."

"Can you please give me the car fare?"

Seeing Chen Luyang looking a little embarrassed and ashamed to ask the factory for money,
Wang Qingzhou was so happy that he didn't hesitate at all. "Report it! You must report it!"

"Write a list later and report it to the finance department normally."

"Okay! Thank you, Director!"

that's it!
Chen Luyang happily walked out of the factory's finance department, holding a small stack of reimbursed money for toy cars and subsidies.

Since the accountant had no way to report the tickets consumed by Chen Luyang to him,

So after asking for the factory director's approval, the ticket money was distributed to Chen Luyang in the form of a subsidy, with the main purpose of not letting the child suffer any loss.

I have money now...

Chen Luyang touched his trouser pockets which were bulging again, and he felt more confident!
Last International Women's Day, he almost spent all the money he had.

Now I am finally rich again!!!

Go find a partner!

in the afternoon,

Chen Luyang first went to the convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes, and then rode his bike straight to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Compared with Dongfang Street, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is closer, but not much closer.

Arriving at the door of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Chen Luyang took out the cigarettes he had prepared in advance and prepared to take the first step in his strategy to conquer the security guard.

But before the cigarette was handed to the person, the security guard shouted it back at him fiercely.

"Which unit are you from? Who are you looking for?"

Chen Luyang immediately said cheerfully: "Uncle, I work at the machinery factory, and this is my work ID. Is Chen Jinyue here? I'm looking for her."

The old man frowned and took the work ID for inspection.

After confirming that Chen Luyang was a worker in the machinery factory, the old man returned the certificate to Chen Luyang.

"What do you want to do with her?"

"I'll bring her something."

The old man frowned, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Then, he hung up the phone: "Chen Jinyue is not here, you can either leave your things here and I will help you. Otherwise, come back."

not there?

Chen Luyang was stunned for a moment.

He was not familiar with this old man and didn't know whether he was a reliable person.

What if the old man is unreliable, opens his bag, sees the vanishing cream he bought for Chen Jinyue, and then says something nonsense at the bureau, which would ruin his sister's reputation.

"Uncle, can you help me ask when Chen Jinyue will be back?"

The old man refused without hesitation: "I can't ask that."

"There are so many people coming and going here, and I need to ask everyone. How can I ask them all?"

The old man in the mail room looked very angry.

Although the Industrial and Commercial Bureau’s area is not large, there are quite a few people visiting it every day.

The beginning and end of the year, and the beginning of each quarter are the times when the Industrial and Commercial Bureau receives the most visits. The uncle in the mail room was able to talk to him for so long because of the face of the machinery factory.

If it were someone else, they would have been kicked out long ago.

Chen Luyang looked at the old man who seemed unmoved and was thinking about how to improve his relationship with him.

Finally, a warm voice came over.

"Xiao Chen, it's you!"

Chen Luyang looked back and saw Lu Changsi jogging out of the courtyard.

The old man in the mailroom was surprised to see Lu Changsi so proactive and enthusiastic.

"What? Chief Lu, do you two know each other?"

Lu Changsi ran to the front of the mail room enthusiastically: "I know him! This young comrade is my friend."

"Oh no!" the old man in the mailroom said, "You know Section Chief Lu, young man, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I thought you were here to do some work too!"

Lu Changsi smiled and said, "Master, please take care of this little brother when he comes."

The mailroom man said, "Oh no! Don't worry."

Turning around, Lu Changsi shook hands with Chen Luyang enthusiastically.

"Xiao Chen, are you here to look for Jin Yue?"

Chen Luyang admitted: "I came to deliver something to Sister Yue, but Sister Yue was not here."

Lu Changsi said, "Jin Yue went to the market for research today. It seems he will be out for the whole week. If you are in a hurry, you can give the things to me and I will pass them on to you."

"There's no need to rush. I'll come next time." Chen Luyang refused with a smile.

I spend my own money to buy something for my partner, but end up asking another man to deliver it. What a shame!

"Okay! Come anytime, find me anytime~"

Lu Changsi didn't waste any time either.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two said goodbye to each other and left.

However, Chen Luyang did not gain nothing from this trip.

At least the uncle in the mail room accepted his cigarettes, so he looked familiar.

On the other side,
Office of the Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee
On Chen Tuo's desk, a provincial newspaper recording the experiences and practices of the provincial machinery factory in exchanges and cooperation with Italian engineers and Japanese experts was folded next to it.

He held a cigarette in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, constantly revising the speech on the manuscript paper.

As the 80s progressed, relations between the country and Japan warmed.

In order to enhance the introduction of foreign intelligence, the country also established the China-Japan Economic Knowledge Exchange Conference with Japan in the early days of reform and opening up.

Last year, the province vigorously carried out foreign cultural exchanges and invited a Japanese sightseeing group to the Children's Park to ride the train.

That time, in order to allow the Young Pioneers to better communicate with the representatives of the Japanese tourist group,

Chen Tuo, who was the director of the Cultural Bureau at the time, specially found Chen Luyang to be the Japanese teacher of the Young Pioneers.

After a whole year of efforts last year, a delegation sent by the Niigata City Government of Japan will soon visit the provincial capital again to reach an agreement with the provincial government on strengthening economic and trade exchanges, cultural exchanges and many other aspects, and promote interaction and cooperation between the two places in culture, education and other fields through official-level exchanges.

In order to successfully conduct this reception and sign the agreement,
After the Chinese New Year, Chen Tuo led the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department to prepare for related work.

Especially for official written speeches, they have to be carefully considered and reconsidered.

There are so many themes this year.

Reform and opening up, study of Marxism-Leninism, foreign cultural exchanges... Each of these is a project that the province and the country vigorously promote, and every topic must be covered.

However, it requires careful consideration as to which part is more important and which one will be more easily accepted by Japanese friends.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The secretary came in with a list in her hand.

"Leader, this is the list of pioneers and advanced workers of reform and opening up selected by the province. Please review it."

Chen Tuo took the list and read it line by line.

In order to commend the advanced and promote reform and opening up, the province produced a number of banners and slogans, and held exhibitions and song and dance performances to praise the achievements of reform and opening up.

The list in my hand is the reform pioneers and advanced workers selected by the province.

Once the list of personnel is determined, the next step is to report the deeds of these pioneers and advanced workers.

"Reform Pioneer: Wang Qingzhou, Director of the Provincial Machinery Factory."

"Advanced Worker of Reform and Opening Up: Chen Luyang, Director of the Provincial Machinery Plant, Senior Engineer, and Director of the Rubber Workshop."
