Chapter 10: The Turning Point
Zhao Dongyang thought about it, and remembered that Xu Yi had mentioned to him about increasing production capacity, if he could solve this problem and become the mine manager again, wouldn't it be a joke? But this matter can't let Xu Yi know, Zhao Dongyang has to work hard quietly, and then surprise everyone.
When he went to work the next day, Zhao Dongyang found squad leader Zhang and wanted to ask him about production capacity.
"Zhang Ban, do you know how to increase production capacity in the mine?" Zhao Dongyang gave Zhang Ban a cigarette and asked.
"Mother, if I knew, I was just a squad leader, and I would have been a mine manager a long time ago. Zhang Ban replied with a disdainful face.
"You are an old worker, and you must know more about production than the leader. Zhao Dongyang patted his ass and said.
"Oh, you kid. Squad leader Zhang showed a smile on his face, "Our mine is too low-grade, you know, so we can only make some leftovers, and the profit is really not much, which can be seen from the bonuses of employees." β
"Then you mean it's okay to get the taste up, right?"
"This taste is innate, how can you do it? There is such a little gold in a lump of stones, you can still turn stones into gold." What the leaders should think about is to adjust the direction of the industry, or improve technology, otherwise the calf will be finished sooner or later. Squad leader Zhang wanted to speak and stopped.
Zhao Dongyang looked at squad leader Zhang as if he had something to say, and continued to ask: "It seems that there is only one way to improve technology, so why don't the leaders introduce new technologies?"
"How can the leader listen to us people, in fact, no matter whether this mine makes money or not, their money will not be less, but the income of our employees is linked to the output value, if there is no huge benefit, do you say that our wages can rise? β
It seems that this is also a problem, the income of the leader is the annual salary, no matter what the efficiency of the mine is, the most that affects them is the year-end bonus, which causes the inaction of the leader. Because even if you get an annual salary, it's enough.
"What's more, some people can also take a kickback at the mine. Zhao Dongyang whispered.
"What are you talking about? Do you want to take kickbacks? What kind of kickbacks can you take? β
"No, I'm talking about the fact that if the employee's salary is deducted again, there will be nothing left. Zhao Dongyang was in a hurry and was in a pretense.
"Who's to say no, if you look at the people who work in this mine, most of them pay directly home to their wives every month, and it's good to work here, you can save money, save tens of thousands of miles a year, it's much better than working in a factory. β
This is what Zhao Dongyang didn't expect, he was in a nightclub, and the highest record was 100,000 drinks a night, which was someone else's income for more than a year or even two years.
"And it's technology. Squad leader Zhang continued, it may be that Zhao Dongyang opened his chatterbox, "This technology is not easy for others to give you, the last time I went to participate in the training, I heard that the Geology and Mining Research Institute in Xihu Town has a new technology, but how can others give it to you, that technology is good, what is it called low-grade what...... Oops, I can't remember exactly. β
"Can't you buy it directly with money?" Zhao Dongyang asked.
"I don't know, these Xu mines must have a lot more than we know, you go and ask him. Also, it's not that I'm talking about you, you, an employee, care so much about what you do, do a good job and don't be late to deduct performance is better than anything else. Squad leader Zhang extinguished the cigarette butt and looked at Zhao Dongyang.
"If the mine is developed, won't our income also increase, I'm mainly concerned about this. Zhao Dongyang looked into the distance, thoughtful.
"If you can't change it, go, work. β
Coupled with the soreness in his arm, Zhao Dongyang was distracted from his work all day, and he decided to go to Xu Yi and say.
After getting off work, when he came to Xu Yi's dormitory, Zhao Dongyang had an extra eye this time, he opened the door of the dormitory, deliberately did not close it, thinking that if Xu Yi did anything out of the ordinary, he would run out immediately.
"Is there a training meeting for mine employees?" Zhao Dongyang went straight to the point and did not beat around the bush.
Xu Yi looked at Zhao Dongyang with a smile on his face and said, "Why did you suddenly start to go up?" β
Xu Yi patted the seat next to him, and Zhao Dongyang's back began to break out in a cold sweat, "No, I won't sit down, just say it." β
"Yes, in a few days, we will organize new employees to go to the Xihu Town Geology and Mining Employment Center for training, it seems that you are very interested. Xu Yi saw that Zhao Dongyang was not sitting, nor was he reluctant.
"I've also heard that there's a new technology, low... Low-grade... ...... "Zhao Dongyang can't remember clearly.
"The low-grade flotation method is a new technology invented by Professor Chen Muqiang of the Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources, which is specifically aimed at low-grade gold ore, which can greatly reduce mining costs and increase output value. Xu Yi seemed to know this technique very well, and he didn't breathe after saying it in one breath.
This surprised Zhao Dongyang dumbfounded, he didn't expect Xu Yi to know so much.
"I'm the mine manager, do you think I don't know anything? Xu Yi seemed to see Zhao Dongyang's surprise and said.
"Then why don't you bring this technology over? In this case, won't our mine really become a gold mine?" Zhao Dongyang asked anxiously.
"How can it be so simple, Professor Chen Muqiang's technology can change the entire domestic gold mining industry, so that all the low-grade gold mines in the country come back to life and become a big gold mountain, and the former rotten stones become gold, how much interest there is, several domestic giants want to take down this technology, and then buy all the other gold mines, how can it be our turn." β
Listening to Xu Yi's words, Zhao Dongyang's boiling blood suddenly cooled.
"That's too, according to what you say, we're not in danger right now, and we can only wait for someone else to buy it?"
Xu Yi pursed his lips and said, "Yes, and others can also lower the price." β
Zhao Dongyang punched the wall, shaking the entire board room, "We can't sit still like this." β
"You're sick in the second year, and it's not life and death, what are you doing with such a high tone. Xu Yi looked at Zhao Dongyang's appearance and felt that he was really naΓ―ve.
"No, we've got to take this technology down, and if you don't, I'll do it. Zhao Dongyang has already made up his mind.
"You're so whimsical. Xu Yi looked at the immature Zhao Dongyang, "You better go back to the selection factory and do your own business." β
"How long do you want me to stay in the concentrator? Zhao Dongyang desperately needs an answer.
"Let's talk about it, wait until you finish the training, rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory answer. Xu Yi gave Zhao Dongyang an affirmative look, which was a signal for him to be calm.
Zhao Dongyang felt that this was a very good time, so he immediately called his father, and he hoped that his father would help him get his idea.
After telling his father about his recent experience in the mine, Zhao Dongyang was silent, and the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, after which Zhao Jihua said slowly: "What you just said, I didn't hear clearly." β
"Dizzy, Dad, do you care about me?" Zhao Dongyang was a little displeased, his father still looked so unserious.
"Oh, I know you don't have anything to do, you can't bear all this hardship, how can you run such a big gold mine in the future? "Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhao Jihua knew that his son must have wanted to beg him.
Zhao Dongyang immediately told his father about the low-grade flotation method, and he thought that if his father could come up with a little money to buy out the technology directly, wouldn't everything be solved.
"I understand what you mean, you let Lao Tzu take money to help you, right?" Zhao Jihua knew his son too well.
"Isn't this very good, this mine is not yours yet, you take the money out to do technical support, our mine will live, and the money earned is not our Zhao family's money." Zhao Dongyang tried his best to convince his father.
"No, no, no, it's your task to run this mine, not mine, so it's you and not me who should find a way, if you need my help, you can say it directly, but ask me for money, then I'm sorry, it's not at all. β
After speaking, Zhao Jihua hung up the phone. Zhao Dongyang is very angry, it's okay to ask you for help, it's okay to ask you for help, but you just won't give me money, isn't this the same as saying it in vain, what's the use.
On this day, it was the day when Zhao Dongyang went to training.
Because Zhao Dongyang is the only one in this batch of new employees, he needs to go to the office to collect travel expenses before leaving. Before going up the mountain, the 2,000 yuan given by his father was only 1,000 when he arrived on the mountain, and then he bought two cigarettes and they were gone, and Zhao Dongyang had already begun to smoke Wang Neng's cigarettes.
When he took the money from Director Luo, Zhao Dongyang felt that Director Luo seemed to have something to say to him, he glanced at the side, it turned out that Director Zhang was also there, and he thought that it must be because of this person that Director Luo is not good at talking.
Zhao Dongyang said: "Director Luo, Xu Kuang has something to look for you. β
Zhao Dongyang went out and waited for Director Luo to come out, and about a minute later, Director Luo also came out, and Zhao Dongyang stopped him: "Director Luo, go to your room and talk." β
Director Luo reacted at this time, and Xiao Zhao was making excuses just now.
"Director Luo, did you have something to tell me just now?" asked Zhao Dongyang.
"Yes, Zhao Mine, although you are now in the position of the concentrator and are not in the position of mine manager, I still hope that you can make achievements, and the best thing is to pull out these moths from the mine. This director Zhang has begun to be lawless, not only has he lost the hundreds of thousands of canteen equipment accounts, but I have also found out elsewhere that he alone has to take at least 2 million from the mine a year. "Director Luo can say such a thing, it is already a ruin.
"What, are you sure?" asked Zhao Dongyang in surprise.
