The leaders of the army and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission were going to the cotton market to investigate the situation of the local military industrial enterprises, but they happened to pass by Huancheng to see the factory that had just received orders for military products.

Besides, they did shoulder the responsibility of supervising and guiding the military production enterprises, so they agreed to He Ming's suggestion and went to Huancheng by car early the next morning.

As a result, as soon as I got to know the place, the face of the leader who led the team became ugly.

Because the person who came out to receive was neither Zhuang Jianye, the leader of Tengfei Factory, nor Shen Jianwei, the secretary of the factory, or even a deputy director with real power, just a small reception director.

This made the leaders of the army and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission inevitably feel neglected, and He Ming, who accompanied him, had no choice but to help Tengfei Factory explain with a smile.

But no matter how nice his words were, he couldn't stand the fact that none of the main leaders of the Tengfei Factory were there, so the leaders of the army and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission just hurriedly went through the motions, and under the pretext that there were too many things on the cotton side, they didn't even eat the lunch prepared by the Tengfei Factory, and left without looking back.

He Ming is angry, Yonghong Factory did not enter the key military security list, He Ming only regarded it as mud that could not support the wall, but Tengfei Factory had already sold its products to the troops, it stands to reason that even if it could not enter the key military security list, it should be qualified as a key observation enterprise.

So this time, He Ming's focus was not on the Yonghong factory, but on the Tengfei factory, so he also greeted Zhuang Jianye in advance, so that the Tengfei factory would not be tossed around in the past few days, and he might come over that day with the leaders of the troops and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission.

As a result, he came, but the whole Tengfei factory collectively released pigeons, which made He Ming, who was full of hope, not angry.

So he sent away the leaders of the army and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, He Ming wanted to contact Zhuang Jianye, but unfortunately the means of communication were too scarce in recent years, and he couldn't find anyone after trying a few times, and the old man's stubborn temper also came up, so he simply didn't go back to Xingzhou, and lived directly in Huancheng, just to see what kind of demon Zhuang Jianye they were doing?

As a result, after waiting for three days, Zhuang Jianye disappeared from this world, without even a letter, He Ming was also anxious, walking anxiously around the office of Tengfei Factory, hesitating whether to go back first and come back in two days.

At this moment, the office door was suddenly opened, and a dusty man broke in, picked up the tea that had been cooled on the coffee table, and poured it in.

He Ming was a little stunned when he saw this, and was just about to ask, when he heard someone say: "Chief engineer, I'm really sorry, I didn't entertain you well, alas~~ We can't help it, Company H in the United States suddenly launched a huge claim against us, it was very sudden, our side was caught off guard, and now the leadership of the factory is all busy with this......"

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and poured two sips.

He Ming wanted to complain at first, but he could listen to the words "huge claim", and all the words of complaint were shattered, and then he looked up and down at Shen Jianwei, who was scrambled, and found that he hadn't seen him for a few days, and the secretary of Tengfei Factory, who was still rich not long ago, had lost weight several times.

The cheekbones that I hadn't seen for a long time bulge high again, and the bloodshot eyes and chapped lips made it clear that I had suffered a lot of sin these days.

However, He Ming didn't have time to care about Shen Jianwei's personal situation, and the claim for Tengfei Factory was a big deal, so he asked, "What's going on?"

"They said that our quality did not meet their requirements, and in addition to some technical infringements of the patents of other foreign companies, not only did they terminate the contract, but they also had to file a claim against us in accordance with the terms of compensation. ”

"How much?"

"3.6 times the target. ”

"Thirty-six million dollars?"

He Ming only felt that his head was buzzing, how big it was, he knew the total value of the contract between Tengfei Factory and Company H in the United States, the total value of 10 million US dollars, multiplied by 3.6, this amount is simply not too big.

You must know that this is a foreign trade contract, and the settlement is in US dollars, not RMB, not to mention that even if 36 million yuan is not a decimal number, even if the Tengfei factory is not what it used to be, it will inevitably hurt the muscles and bones to take out so much at one time, not to mention that it is still US dollars, even if it is calculated at the exchange rate stipulated by the state, it is more than 100 million yuan.

100 million, this is to crush the Tengfei factory.

At this moment, what key military security list, what accumulated grievances are not as important as the survival of the Tengfei Factory, otherwise everything is in the air, and there is no gain.

So He Ming didn't even frown and asked: "Old Shen, if there is anything you need my help with, just ask, although I can't speak well in the factory now, there are still a few people I know in the ministry." ”

"Old leader, with your words, better than anything, don't hide it from you, these days we have been communicating with several supervisors, no way, there is really too much involved, Xiaozhuang is now going to the Special Economic Zone to prepare to meet with foreign businessmen, I am not familiar with the superiors, I can't speak at all, if the old leader can help, I thank you on behalf of Tengfei Factory." ”

Saying that, Shen Jianwei stood up and bowed to He Ming opposite.

He really had no choice, in order to keep the Tengfei Factory, Zhuang Jianye operated in a commotion and made the Tengfei Factory a channel for the ministry to obtain advanced technology from abroad.

In just a few months, there are more than 20 technology research and development projects, imitation products and even import substitution derived from this channel, which is too big, once the H company really stops cooperating with Tengfei Factory, the huge compensation is small, and the next series of technology research and development are all suspended.

Therefore, Shen Jianwei is running around with the leaders of other Tengfei factories these days, and according to Zhuang Jianye's opinions, he goes to the leaders in charge of various R&D projects.

In the face of the situation of the Tengfei plant, the person in charge of these projects is also worried, for example, Guo Xiaobo is so anxious that his mouth is full of bubbles, and he also actively helps the Tengfei factory to run.

However, Guo Xiaobo and others are good at scientific research, and the relationship between the top and bottom is coordinated, but the ability to oversee the overall situation of the product is a complete layman.

In the past, Zhuang Jianye personally grasped this piece, but now Zhuang Jianye wants to go to the Special Economic Zone to meet with foreign business, and a confrontation is inevitable, and he has no energy to take care of the rear.

So I entrusted it to Shen Jianwei, who was old and serious, but Shen Jianwei was okay to get a branch, and while contacting more than a dozen units and institutions, he also needed to coordinate with local governments and ministries in real time, which greatly exceeded Shen Jianwei's ability, and the result was that he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and things became more and more chaotic.

So when he heard that He Ming was in the factory, Shen Jianwei didn't even have the mind to rest for a moment and ran to the office to see He Ming, no way, Zhuang Jianye, who was in front, needed a stable rear, and the Tengfei factory in crisis needed it even more.

He Ming, as the longest-serving chief engineer of Yonghong Factory, in addition to outstanding technical ability, excellent coordination and control ability is also very good.

It's not wrong to hand over this big rear to He Mingzhun.
