Soon, there was a problem in the bearing factory, not a production problem, but a problem of raw materials, the steel used to make the bearing was gone, and the remaining steel could only be maintained for less than a month of production, if the steel was not entered, it would be stopped after half a month.

In previous years, this situation will not happen, now are planned economy, a year's output at the beginning of the province has been issued, all steel has been reserved, but this year because of the increase in production, the original steel beyond the plan, but at the beginning of all the recognition did not ignore, since there is no steel to report, the province will coordinate the deployment, but the bearing factory reported to the city of the request has not been answered, seeing that the production of steel is left, the leadership of the factory is a little anxious, so I found the city, only to learn that the city's steel is in short supply, reported to the province to get the answer is to wait,

Wait a minute, how to wait? The task order issued by the city may not be 100 percent completed even if it is fully started, and if it really waits for another month, it will not be completed at all, and who will bear the consequences at that time?

The workers in the factory don't care, there is work to do or not, but the factory director can not stand it, if the factory can not complete the task, he will be punished at that time, so every other day he rode to the city to ask, not only him, the directors of the surrounding factories are constantly going to the city supply and marketing office to find, but the result is that there is no goods, to wait.

This is half a month, the steel in the factory is all sold out, you must know that the steel is not only for the supply of bearing factories, but also mining equipment factories, machine tool factories, gear factories, spring factories, etc., these factories are in need of steel, bearing factories do not, they also do not, all factories are suspended.

As soon as these factories stopped, the production on the coal mine immediately slowed down, and all the machinery on the mine was still left over from the Soviet era in the fifties, and it was still in use after 30 years, and there may not be many major failures, but small problems are absolutely the norm.

But because of the increase in production, all the equipment on the mine is completely high-load operation, which is beyond the limit of the use of machinery, in the high-intensity wear and tear of a large number of mechanical failures, especially those that are easy to damage the parts, replaced in two days to replace the new one, other factories are fully operational, and now they are lying down, parts can not keep up, the machinery on the mine can only return to normal production, according to this speed, by the end of the year can complete half of the provincial target is thankful.

The directors of the factories are anxious, and the mayor of Fucheng City is even more anxious, and they have become ants on a hot pot, and the director of the Mining Bureau runs to the city every day to urge, but what can they do? All the steel is uniformly allocated by the province, and what should the province do if they don't give it to them? They can only call the provincial supply and marketing department to inquire, and the news they get is that the whole province is in short supply of materials, and all materials are given priority to key cities.

To put it simply, the top five cities in Liaobei Province, Shencheng City, Lianhai City, Anhe City, Jindong City, and Fuyang City, have a higher status in Liaobei Province than Fucheng, so naturally they should come first.

In fact, this is the contradiction caused by the lack of productivity, when the country made steel, it was the case, on the one hand, it also wanted to expand production capacity quickly, on the other hand, the technical level was not reached, and in the end it could only produce a bunch of waste products, which caused a huge waste, and now the situation is that the raw materials are not enough, but the outcome is the same, so this unrealistic plan is not feasible at all.

But what if it's not feasible? There is no bargaining for an executive order, and if it is not completed, it will be unlucky.

In the Fucheng City Government, Mayor Lu Jianshe is holding a meeting with the city's cadres.

"Everyone, now we all know the situation in Fucheng, there is a shortage of raw materials, and the task assigned by the province must not be completed in such a way, I asked Senior Officer Chen for help, and the result is to let us find a way to get everyone together, that is, to ask you, who has a way to put it forward. ”

Lu Jianshe went to the provincial capital several times and wanted to ask the Supply and Marketing Department to send materials to Fucheng, but people ignored him at all, and he had no choice now.

Everyone present was silent, drinking tea one by one with a tea jar, and some people didn't even raise their heads.

"Lao Sun, you are the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, do you have a way?"

Lu Jianshe saw that he ignored him, so he could only order.

"This ......... Mayor Lu, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

"What should be said or not, if you have something to say, say it quickly!"

Lu Jianshe was a little annoyed.

"That's the case, the provincial supply and marketing department I have been in contact with many times, they control the supply of the province's means of production and living, at the beginning of each year this plan has been set, but this year is a little special, the state suddenly issued an order to increase production, of course, raw materials are a little tight.........!"

"Okay, everyone knows this, I'll ask you if there is a way to get steel, if you have it, just say it, if not, don't talk nonsense, it's verbose!"

Lu Jianshe interrupted the other party and was a little angry.

"Mayor Lu, there is a way, but I don't know if it's good or not!"

He replied with a hint of embarrassment.

"What? way, what way? Say it quickly!"

Lu Jianjian's eyes lit up.

"This solution is to let those factories that lack materials take the money to the provincial capital to buy steel!"

The other party gave an answer.

"Take your own money to buy steel? What's the idea?"

Lu Jianshe almost didn't point at the other party's nose and scolded.

This era is the era of the planned economy, and the factories lack raw materials, and the provinces and municipalities are all allocated in a unified manner, so where will there be a situation in which the factories themselves use money to buy them? This situation has not happened in these years! Besides, it is useless to go to the provincial capital several times to find it, so is it good to take the money? He does not believe it at all.

"Mayor Lu, listen to me, and when I finish speaking, you will understand .........!"

The other party saw that Lu Jianshe was about to get angry, and he hurriedly explained.

"You say!"

Lu Jianshe forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Mayor Lu, there are many secrets in the supply of raw materials that cannot be known to outsiders!"

"Secrets?

"Mayor, now our country encourages enterprises to work more and get more, and many enterprises in the south can still produce excess products after completing the goals set by their superiors, then they can directly sell them to the market, set their own prices, and the income they get can also belong to themselves. ”

"Oh, I know it...... The dual-track price system, but we don't seem to have implemented it in Fucheng!"

Lu Jianshe nodded.

"Of course it can't be implemented, the tasks given to us by the state are basically all co-ordination, where there are surplus materials to produce other products, but other places are different......... Last year, when I went to the provincial capital for a meeting, I saw that there were many individual merchants in the south outside many supply and marketing offices, and these merchants were waiting to buy raw materials, such as cotton yarn, cloth, and even steel, and they could make a lot of money by transporting raw materials back to the south to make goods. ”

"Oh?

Lu Jianshe was very puzzled.

You must know that in this era of planned economy, all materials are controlled by the state, if you want to get excess materials, it can only be uniformly allocated by the state and the province, which requires quotas, not who can get them, not to mention steel, coal these bulk materials, that is, grain, meat, these means of life also need food stamps, food stamps are a kind of quota, without quotas, you can't buy money can't buy it.

Therefore, when the other party said that individual merchants in the south could get cotton yarn and cloth, and even the means of production such as steel and coal, Lu Jianshe felt that this kind of thing was unimaginable.

"Mayor Lu, there are some things that we can't think of at all, but they do happen, and I don't know how these merchants can get these things, and I also saw that some companies in the provincial capital also went there to buy goods, they can buy them, I think we can buy them too, now it's better to let those companies try it, maybe they can really buy it." ”

"This .........?"

Lu Jianshe made a difficulty, he didn't even think of this method, but what other ideas did he have? No, not at all, the government came forward to spend money to buy it? This is even more impossible, if the province knows, he, the mayor, is afraid that it will come to an end.

"Immediately notify the following enterprises, let them go to the provincial capital supply and marketing hall to buy, buy as much as they can, anyway, they must complete the task assigned by the city, if it can't be completed, I will be punished, and those factory directors will not be better!"

Lu Jianshe finally made up his mind, as for whether it was useful or not, he could only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.
