Fang Chengju's logic is very simple: the enterprise loses money because the tasks given by the state are not enough. If you want to keep the enterprise from losing money, you must find a way to get the state to give more tasks. If the state does not agree, then it is not my responsibility......

Meng Fanze obviously also understood what Fang Chengju meant, and he asked with a cold face: "Comrade Chengju, the reason why you have been emphasizing the loss just now is that the state is insufficient, haven't you ever thought about developing your own business? Your factory has more than 30 years of experience in the production of ball mills, and now there are many new cement factories in various places, and these factories all need ball mills, so you have not contacted them?"

"Of course I did. Yi Yaozhong, deputy director of the factory, replied, "Minister Meng, we also understand the situation you said. We have sent salesmen to contact the cement factories in various places, but there is no effect, those new cement plants, either import ball mills from abroad, or buy ball mills from township enterprises, our products, people do not accept them at all. ”

"Why?" Meng Fanze asked.

"Why?" Yi Yaozhong showed a mocking smile on his face, of course, this taunt was not for Meng Fanze, he was not so crazy, his taunt was aimed at those township enterprises.

"We won't talk about imports from abroad, people have good technology, we can't compare. But the quality of those produced by township enterprises cannot be compared with ours, but we can't stand the fact that people will engage in public relations. The salesmen of those township enterprises give kickbacks publicly, do we state-owned enterprises dare to do this? Also, their prices are also cheap, a 2,100 mm ball mill, we quoted 700,000 yuan, and they dare to quote 500,000 yuan, how can you let us compete with them?" Yi Yaozhong said.

"Director Yi, there are indeed rebates sent by township enterprises, but you say that the quality of the products of township enterprises cannot be compared with you, which may be a bit absolute. Feng Xiaochen said slowly, he opened a notebook, and said, "I have a case here, Songchuan Cement Factory in Mingzhou Province, bought a ball mill of yours the year before last, and after using it for less than half a year, there was a decrease in the speed of load operation, in addition to the oil leakage of the reducer, the slippage of the V-belt and other problems. I asked your workers to repair it, but it took more than a week to go, and it was not repaired well after going. Their factory also has a ball mill of the same model made by a local township enterprise in Mingzhou, so there is no such situation. In the end, they hired the workers of the township enterprise to repair your machine and replace several substandard parts. Director Yi, do you know about this situation?"

"This ...... It's just an accident and doesn't say anything. Yi Yaozhong's face turned a little gray, and the self-contained expression just now no longer existed.

Feng Xiaochen is coming to Yubei, so naturally he will not come with a black eye. The Economic Commission has prepared some information about Yubei for the working group, but these materials are all official articles, in addition to statistical reports, that is, reports and summaries written by the Yubei Municipal Government and various enterprises themselves, which are full of various Spring and Autumn brushwork, clouds and mountains and fog covers, and do not reflect any situation at all. Feng Xiaochen found Bao Chengming and asked him to prepare materials for himself, Bao Chengming did a search in the computer, and copied a box of floppy disk documents for Feng Xiaochen, when Feng Xiaochen came to Yubei, he came with a laptop and a floppy disk.

The incident about the Songchuan Cement Factory was specially copied by Feng Xiaochen, in order to silence Yi Yaozhong and others, so that they could not avoid the real problem.

"Of course, there is a situation that Assistant Feng said. Another deputy factory director, Zheng Qun, took over the conversation. From the example given by Feng Xiaochen, he can hear that Feng Xiaochen has done some homework on Yubei Heavy Machinery, and it is not easy to fool the past, he said: "The ball mill is our old product, we have been engaged in it for more than 30 years, and now many cement factories in the country use ball mills are produced by us. In recent years, our technology has indeed lagged behind, and the quality of workers has also declined. Just now, Assistant Feng said that the maintenance worker we sent out could not repair his ball mill, and I know that the maintenance worker was recruited into the factory in the early 80s, and he was not technically good at all. Over the years, many of our experienced workers have retired, and the technical fault line is very serious, and we can't help it. ”

As soon as he said this, the other cadres on the field also echoed it:

"Yes, yes, or we are an old company, but this problem is too serious. ”

"The equipment is old, the technology is old, the workers are old, and as soon as the old workers retreat, they will not be connected. ”

"Originally, the machine can't run when it's old, let alone an old company like ours......"

Tan Dejun also found an excuse, turned his head and said to Meng Fanze: "Minister Meng, the biggest problem in our Yubei is that the old industrial base cannot be compared with those new enterprises in the mainland. We have an analogy, we Yubei is an old hen, in the past can lay eggs, the country also attaches importance to it. Now that we are old, we will not lay eggs, and the country will not care about us. ”

"What, you said that Yubei is an old hen and won't lay eggs now?" Meng Fanze looked at Tan Dejun and asked with a smile.

Tan Dejun hesitated, nodded and said: "Yes, let's talk about Yubei Heavy Machinery, the factory was built in 1947, and it has been ...... until now."

"The factory was built in 1947, and now it is old?" Meng Fanze glanced at Tan Dejun, then turned to Feng Xiaochen and asked: "Xiao Feng, what year did you say yesterday that Siemens was founded?"

"It's 1847......" Feng Xiaochen replied with a wry smile, this stalk was really told to Meng Fanze, but the old man should not say it on such an occasion. People keep saying that they are old industrial bases, old hens, and now they won't lay eggs, and you have a Siemens founded in 1847, will you still chat?

However, this kind of thing is what Meng Fanze can say, and if Feng Xiaochen says this, it is estimated that Tan Dejun, Fang Chengju and others will immediately go berserk. But Meng Fanze is an 80-year-old old leader, even if he relies on the old and sells the old, others can't do anything about him.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Fang Chengju said with a dark face: "Minister Meng's criticism is right, Yubei Heavy Machinery is in a loss, which is the responsibility of our factory leaders, and the first is the responsibility of me, the factory director." ”

Meng Fanze smiled faintly and said: "Comrade Chengju, the country sent me and Xiao Feng to Yubei, not to discuss responsibility, but to study how to revitalize Yubei, including how to revitalize Yubei Heavy Machinery. At present, there are serious business difficulties in Yubei Heavy Machinery, does Comrade Chengju have any thoughts on this?"

Fang Chengju said: "There must be ideas, and we have also written them in the reports we submitted to the State Economic Commission and the Ministry of Machinery." In order to turn Yubei Heavy Machinery into profits, the key is to carry out technological transformation. The profits we created in the past have been taken away by the state, but now the equipment is aging and the technology is outdated, and if the state does not provide funds for technological transformation, we will not be able to complete these transformations on our own. This is not our emphasis on subjective difficulties, this is an objective fact. ”

"So, how much technical transformation funds do you need?" Meng Fanze asked.

Fang Chengju said: "We have calculated that the equipment renewal of several workshops, coupled with the introduction of foreign patents, will take about 80 million. In fact, the 80 million is to solve some urgent problems, and to really achieve good results, 200 million is far from enough. ”

"So, if you have these 80 million, will you be able to turn around your losses?" Meng Fanze ignored Fang Chengju's later sentence, and asked in response to the question of 80 million.

Fang Chengju said: "I can't pack a ticket for this, I can only say that there will be some competitiveness." At present, the domestic market environment is very chaotic, and those township and town enterprises are unscrupulously competing with us for the market, and there are still some places that worship foreign countries and flatter foreigners, and it is clear that we can produce equipment, but they have to spend money to import it from abroad. If these circumstances do not change, even if we improve the technology and launch new products, it is estimated that it will be a dead end. ”

"I see. Meng Fanze nodded, "In this way, let's go to the production area to have a look and understand the current technical situation of Yubei Heavy Machinery." ”

This is what it means that they are not going to continue talking, and everyone gets up one after another, and walks out with polite words. Fang Chengju was very dissatisfied with Meng Fanze in his heart, but he still had to accompany him, but there were no laugh lines on his face. Meng Fanze didn't care, led Feng Xiaochen, accompanied by Fang Chengju and his party, walked more than a dozen workshops, and chatted with some workers on duty in the workshop. At noon, Fang Chengju said that a banquet had been prepared in the factory, Meng Fanze made an excuse and declined, Fang Chengju was not reluctant, and sent them to the car they were in with a cold face.

"Special meow, what kind of score do you put with Lao Tzu!"

Watching the car leave, Fang Chengju scolded hatefully.

"Old Fang, what does this old guy mean?" Yi Yaozhong stepped forward and asked Fang Chengju.

"What do you mean, find faults. ”

"We didn't offend him. ”

"Then who knows, maybe it's retreating, and I'm not happy, and I'll bite anyone. ”

"He's a person valued by the central leadership, so he won't sue us when he turns around, right?"

"Sue what? We didn't do anything wrong. Now it's not our Yubei Heavy Machinery that is losing money in the whole north, what can the country do with us?"

"That Feng Xiaochen, I didn't say anything today, look at what he means, he's just a follower, right?"

"That's what a sensible person is. Fang Chengju said, "Isn't this obvious, he came to Yubei to gild, and if he can make a little achievement, he can go back and explain." Such a young deputy director-level has a bright future. If he wants to make achievements, he has to cooperate with us, and if he can help us get some money, and then get some business, we can turn around our losses, and he will make achievements. ”

"By the way, the canteen also prepared wine and food, and I knew that they wouldn't eat it, so I wouldn't let the canteen arrange it. ”

Fang Chengju said: "If he doesn't eat and pull down, we won't eat it ourselves?" You go and arrange it, call Xiao Fu in the office, a few of them, and let's play poker in the afternoon after dinner." ”
