Chapter Eighty-Five: In What Name Are You Prepared to Repay Your Debts?

"Indeed, we have such a big factory, and we can't survive with such a small product. Zhang Shu, the deputy director in charge of life logistics, sighed.

Zhou Heng said: "The last time I had dinner with Guan Zhiming, he mentioned that Xiye Heavy Machinery Factory had contacted us and wanted a 13-meter heavy-duty boring and milling machine. Because the management of the factory was chaotic at that time, the technical department did not dare to take it, so the matter was shelved. I called Zheng Mingyuan from Xizhong a few days ago, and he said that they had decided to introduce this equipment from abroad, and were currently in contact with several foreign heavy machine tool companies, but they had not yet decided. ”

"Is it possible to reconsider us?" Qin Zhongnian asked.

Zhou Heng said: "Listening to Zheng Mingyuan's meaning, he shouldn't consider us. He said that they originally planned to import from abroad, but at the beginning of last year, there were still some restrictions on China's heavy equipment exports, so they found Linyiji. Later, foreign restrictions were relaxed, and a few foreign companies were willing to talk to them, so they no longer considered us. ”

Wu Weiqin sighed: "Now many companies have this mentality, and if they can introduce it from abroad, they will never buy domestic ones." On the one hand, this is because of the popular psychology of admiring foreign countries in society, and on the other hand, it is also because domestic enterprises are not competitive. Just like our Linyi machine, it is obviously the main manufacturer of heavy-duty boring and milling machines in China, but when people find the door, we can't take it, and it's no wonder that people want to buy foreign ones. ”

Qin Zhongnian said with a little dissatisfaction: "Old Wu, what you are talking about is the past. ”

Wu Weiqin realized that he had fired the map cannon and included Qin Zhongnian, and hurriedly corrected with a smile: "Yes, yes, I'm talking about the past, not the current Linyi machine." ”

Tang Zifeng asked: "Chief Engineer Qin, do you mean that if Xiye finds us now, you can design this kind of heavy-duty boring and milling machine?"

"This ...... I guess it's okay. Qin Zhongnian said, his words clearly with some hesitation.

Tang Zifeng smiled: "Chief Engineer Qin, this is not your style of speaking. Whether it's okay or not, you give a happy word. If you dare to pat your chest and say okay, it's a big deal that I will go to Xiye after the New Year, put a brick against that Zheng Mingyuan's head, and ask him to give us the business. ”

Everyone laughed, as early as when Tang Zifeng recovered 2 million arrears from Jinche, it was rumored in the factory that he threatened Song Fulai with a brick to get the money back, so Tang Zifeng and the brick became a stalk of Linyiji, and now listening to him himself talk about such a stalk, everyone thinks it is funny.

After laughing for a while, Zhou Heng asked Tang Zifeng: "Xiao Tang, are you really sure that you can take this business from Xiye?"

Tang Zifeng pointed at Qin Zhongnian and said: "The premise is that Chief Engineer Qin can't drop the chain, otherwise I will take the business over, but we won't be able to eat it, then it will be embarrassing." ”

Qin Zhongnian said: "I can't pack a ticket for this matter, and the heavy-duty boring and milling machine also has different specifications, involving processing depth, accuracy, numerical control degree, etc., I need to see the specific needs to determine whether we have the ability to take it down." Even if our technical system can be designed, some requirements may not be able to be produced on the production side, Lao Wu, do you say this is the case?"

Wu Weiqin nodded and said: "That's right, our production level is also limited, if the other party's requirements are too high, we really won't be able to produce it." ”

Tang Zifeng said: "That's going to be difficult. During this time, I followed Guan Zhiming and made up for the technology, and I barely knew what was a lathe and what was a milling machine, and how high the production technology requirements were, how could I figure it out?"

Zhu Yachao smiled and said: "Xiao Tang, don't you have a gold medal follower? ”

"Director Zhu is talking about Han Weichang?" Tang Zifeng asked.

"Who else can he be?" Zhu Yachao said, "Who in the factory doesn't know that Han Weichang has made a big bargain by following you out, just the first batch of packers, he can get 4 or 50,000 yuan, and the whole factory is red-eyed." ”

Tang Zifeng said disdainfully: "If you have red eyes, then go and run the business." This time, the baler was able to sell so hot, thanks to Han Weichang's inspiration when he was in Jin Yao, and he came up with a thin baler design. If Lao Han uses this design to apply for a patent, the patent fee alone will not only earn 4 or 50,000 yuan, what qualifications do these people have to look at Lao Han's income?"

"When it comes to income, this is the focus of our factory director's office meeting today. Zhou Heng interjected, "Regarding the matter over there in Xiye, I will communicate with Xiao Tang and Lao Qin again, if it is feasible, Xiao Tang will go for a trip after the New Year to see if there is a chance to take it down." Now let's get back to business and talk about income. ”

Zhang Shu smiled and agreed: "Hehe, yes, yes, the sky and the earth are big, it's not as big as eating." The issue of income is indeed the most important, let's get back to business. ”

Everyone stopped clamoring and quieted down to listen to Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng said: "I have already said the first point just now, the salary for February will be paid on the 30th, and another 2 months' salary will be paid, a total of 3.5 million will be issued, everyone has no opinion, right?"

"No comment!"

"It's time to make up the salary, so that the employees can have a good year. ”

"Indeed, the workers have been suffering for too long. ”

"Haha, listening to everyone say this, I don't dare to mention it if I have an opinion......"

Everyone giggled and expressed their agreement, which is actually the consensus formed by the factory leaders for a long time. In the past two years, due to the poor financial situation, the workers of Linyi Machine have been owed more than ten months of wages, if we have some ways to subsidize the family by doing odd jobs outside, the more than 20,000 workers and their families in the factory may have starved to death. Now that the factory has made some money, it is natural for everyone to pay a back salary.

"The second point involves what Lao Zhu said just now. Some time ago, we stipulated that sales personnel could withdraw sales commissions from performance, and later promised to pay bonuses to front-line production workers. On the sales commission side, the largest amount is Han Weichang, the amount calculated by the Finance and Accounting Department is more than 52,000 yuan, which is still the commission of the first batch of packers. But in this way, Han Weichang alone can get a commission of more than 50,000 yuan, will everyone worry about causing the masses to discuss?" Zhou Heng asked.

Zhu Yachao said: "It's not a matter of worrying or not, but the masses are already talking." There are roughly two opinions I have heard, one is that this system is unreasonable, and Han Weichang has not made any efforts, why should he take so much money. The second opinion is even more interesting, everyone thinks that it is impossible for the factory to send so much money to Han Weichang, but in this way, it is equivalent to the factory talking does not count, and everyone wants to see what the factory is going to pay in the name of. ”

"Why haven't I heard such a discussion?" Wu Weiqin said in surprise.

Tang Zifeng said: "That's because Director Wu is high above and detached from the masses. Grassroots people like me can hear these discussions, which are roughly the same as what Director Zhu summarized. ”

"You little Tang! What nonsense!" Wu Weiqin was a little embarrassed and rebuked Tang Zifeng, "Why am I so high? I'm just busy with production during this time, and my feet don't touch the ground all day long, so how can I have time to listen to these rumors." ”

Zhou Heng said: "I also heard some discussions, but I really didn't hear the latter mentioned by Lao Zhu, but Xiao Tang reflected it to me twice." It seems that the employees are still suspicious of our new team and do not believe that we can fulfill our promises. ”

Zhu Yachao asked: "Director Zhou, do you think we should fulfill our promise?"

"Of course. Zhou Heng said without hesitation, "The masses themselves do not trust us, if we break our word and fatten, the image of the new team among the masses will be completely ruined, and no matter what we say in the future, the masses will not believe it." The business commission is something that we have already discussed, and since it has been decided, we can send as much as we want, and we must not rely on the account because one person takes too much money. ”

"But in this case, I'm afraid most of the employees will have opinions. Wu Weiqin said worriedly, "Don't say that Han Weichang took more than 50,000 yuan in commission all of a sudden, but this time in the workshop was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the person in charge of each workshop was a little unrealistic." This time the factory said that the bonus would be calculated according to the amount of work completed, and some workers could get a few hundred, and some workers couldn't get a penny. If this result is announced, it is estimated that the workshop will become a pot of porridge. ”

"It's good to mess around. Zhou Heng said calmly, "Only when everyone really feels that doing more and doing less is different, and it is not the same at every turn, will the factory be energetic." ”

Wu Weiqin said with a bitter face: "I understand the truth, but after all, this involves half of the workers." This morning, Rao Shutian and Cheng Wei asked me what about it and when the bonus would be paid. They are worried that once the bonus is paid, the year will not be over, and those workers who have not received the bonus will tear down the doors of their homes. ”

Zhou Heng said: "You tell them, don't worry. Before the Spring Festival, we paid three months' salary, which was enough for everyone to have a good New Year. So my idea is that the sales commission and bonus will be paid after the Chinese New Year. When the time comes, if the factory is going to be chaotic, let it be chaotic, and only after the chaos can there be a big order. ”

"That's fine. Wu Weiqin nodded, and after that, he smiled at everyone and said, "Don't hide it from everyone, I plan not to go home for the New Year, so I'm going to stay in the factory to deal with these troubles." Now Director Zhou said that the bonus will be issued after the New Year, which can be regarded as saving me. ”

Zhou Heng said with a smile: "In the past three months, everyone has worked hard, so let's go back to reunite with our families in a down-to-earth manner during the New Year." ...... the factory here"

"I'm on duty!" Zhu Yachao said volunteerly.
