Chapter 199: The Bearing King
Knowing that Yan Baitong was very happy in Chenyu Company, Feng Xiaochen was relieved. In the process of chatting with pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info Yan Baitong also hinted to Feng Xiaochen that there were several professors who had a good relationship with him in the School of Engineering, and seeing that his life had improved significantly, and scientific research results were repeated, they also wanted to do some work for Chen Yu Company.
Feng Xiaochen asked about the situation of these professors, and then told Yan Baitong that he could bring these professors to Tongchuan to give it a try, and if Yang Haifan and they felt that these professors were of a good level and could be used, they would naturally accept them. Yan Baitong nodded again and again, saying that he would arrange this matter after the New Year.
The next day, Feng Xiaochen went to the Provincial Metallurgical Department for a turn, Qiao Ziyuan, Liu Huimin and others saw Feng Xiaochen, and their enthusiasm was a little more than in the past. Feng Xiaochen was originally just an ordinary staff member in the Metallurgical Bureau of the State Economic Commission, but now he has the rank of deputy director in the Heavy Equipment Office, and anyone with a discerning eye knows at a glance that he will have a bright future. Although everyone has never heard of the line "don't bully the poor youth", everyone understands this truth.
Because the contract for the introduction of the hot rolling mill has just been signed, the specific design and equipment manufacturing will take some time, and there is not much to do on the Nanjiang side at present. Feng Xiaochen, in his capacity as a representative of the Heavy Equipment Office, listened to the reports of the Nanjiang Provincial Metallurgical Department and the Nanjiang Iron and Steel Plant on the project, and made some "important instructions," and the work was completed. Because Feng Xiaochen is a native of Nanjiang, the Metallurgical Department didn't say anything about arranging entertainment projects for him, but only said that if he had any troublesome things during his stay in Nanjiang, he could just ask the Metallurgical Department to help solve it.
"After all, the Metallurgical Hall is your maiden home!" Liu Huimin patted Feng Xiaochen on the shoulder and said.
"Yes, yes, it's still nice to go back to my parents' house. Feng Xiaochen responded, and at the same time helplessly thought that Leng Shanguo had also said the same thing, which was called Fu having distant relatives in the deep mountains.
Luo Xiangfei sent Feng Xiaochen to Nanjiang to investigate, in fact, it was to give him a holiday so that he could go home for the New Year. After Feng Xiaochen went to the Metallurgical Hall, there was nothing else to do, so he prepared to go to Tongchuan to see the situation of Chenyu Company. Who would have thought that without waiting for him to set off, Yang Haifan arrived in Xinling first, and took a man around 30 years old with obvious southeast coastal appearance.
"Didn't I say I'd go to Tongchuan tomorrow, why did you come to Xinling instead?"
Seeing Yang Haifan appear in front of him, Feng Xiaochen asked in surprise. This is in an office in the Spring Restaurant, and Feng Xiaochen was called by Chen Shuhan when someone sent to his house. Spring Restaurant claims to be the office of Chen Yu Company in Xinling, in fact, it does have this function, Chen Yu Company people come to Xinling on a business trip, eat and live here, Chen Shuhan also specially reserved an office for Yang Haifan for him to use.
"Something happened. Yang Haifan said to Feng Xiaochen, he asked Feng Xiaochen to sit down, and then pointed to the man sitting next to him, who quickly stood up with a timid expression on his face.
"This is Yao Weiqiang, a self-employed entrepreneur in the Jinnan area of Haidong Province, known as the bearing king. Yang Haifan introduced.
"That's all nonsense, I'm just doing a little business. Yao Weiqiang said in a low-key manner.
"Bearing King?" Feng Xiaochen was a little confused, "You also produce bearings?"
"No, no, I'm selling bearings. Yao Weiqiang said.
"What does the Bearing King mean?" Feng Xiaochen asked again.
"Well...... this" Yao Weiqiang looked at Yang Haifan, and saw that Yang Haifan didn't mean to explain for him, so he could only bite the bullet and say it himself: "I used to work in our commune agricultural machinery factory, and I have a little research on bearings. Later, I found that there are many varieties of bearings on the market, and sometimes if you want to buy a bearing, you have to run a lot of places, and you may not be able to buy it. So I came out of the agricultural machinery factory and started my own self-employed, specializing in selling bearings. I don't dare to say about the large bearings and special bearings, but I have the bearings used in the usual machines and instruments.
Because my goods are relatively complete, people gave me a nickname, called the bearing king. By the way, in addition to my bearing king, there are also screw kings, key kings, electrical kings, hardware kings, a total of 10 people, and our locals call us the top ten kings. ”
"I only met Master Yao when he came to our company to contact the purchase. Master Yao's level is very high, and he knows the type of bearing very well, and he also knows the user's situation very well. After he saw several kinds of oil film bearings produced by our company, he said that he knew which companies could use such bearings, and these companies were still looking for this kind of bearings everywhere. After his connection, we have sold a lot of bearings in China, some machine tool companies bought, and some agricultural machinery companies bought. Yang Haifan said.
Yao Weiqiang said: "Actually, I don't have any level, I am a high school culture, and I prefer to study some mechanical things." I've seen a lot of bearings, and I've felt a little bit about them. The companies that Manager Yang said, I have been in contact with them in the past, and they talked about looking for these specifications of bearings everywhere, and I saw that Manager Yang had them here, so I pulled them a line, which is a very convenient thing. ”
"You mean that you just heard that people need these specifications of bearings, and you remember them all?" Feng Xiaochen asked with interest.
Yao Weiqiang said half shy and half proud: "I may have a little specialty in this area, no matter what kind of bearing, as long as you tell me, I can remember it clearly, and I will not make a mistake." ”
"This is not just a small specialty, it is simply a genius!" Feng Xiaochen sighed sincerely.
Bearings, the specifications are quite complex, in addition to what inner diameter, outer diameter, thickness and other indicators, there are different types, such as deep groove ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, needle bearings, tapered roller bearings, thrust roller bearings, etc., if you want to listen to only once you can write down the needs of the other party, and then go to the corresponding manufacturer, this is not something that ordinary people can do.
Yao Weiqiang claimed that he only had a high school education, and was born in the commune's agricultural machinery factory, naturally he would not have received any good training, he was able to do the bearing specifications without forgetting, can only be said to devote himself to it, has reached the situation where practice makes perfect.
Hearing Feng Xiaochen praise himself, Yao Weiqiang was also a little proud. Before he came to Xinling, he heard Yang Haifan tell him that Feng Xiaochen was the deputy director of the national ministries and commissions, and he was a big cadre. Being able to be praised by such a big cadre, Yao Weiqiang has a feeling of meeting a master.
"Old Yang, you brought Master Yao to me, is there anything wrong?" Feng Xiaochen turned to Yang Haifan and asked. In fact, he should call Yao Weiqiang Boss Yao, but the word boss was more sensitive back then, and Yao Weiqiang must not dare to accept it, so Feng Xiaochen could only learn from Yang Haifan's appearance and call him Master Yao.
As soon as he heard Feng Xiaochen's words, the sunlight that had just bloomed on Yao Weiqiang's face immediately turned into a thick haze, Yang Haifan also frowned, and said to Feng Xiaochen: "Xiao Feng, Master Yao, something happened here. He escaped from Jinnan and ran to Tongchuan to ask me for help, I don't know what to do, I thought you came back to Nanjiang, so I took him to Xinling, I want to hear your opinion. ”
Feng Xiaochen was startled and asked, "What's the matter, why did you escape?"
"Well, this thing...... It's hard to put into words. Yao Weiqiang sighed, sat back on the chair, and the person seemed to have been drained of his soul, completely devoid of the aura just now.
Yang Haifan saw that he didn't have the courage to say it, so he had to tell him what happened.
As Yao Weiqiang said, in the entire Jinnan region, there are ten successful individual entrepreneurs, known as the top ten kings. In the past few years, the top ten kings have done well in their respective fields, making a lot of money themselves, and also driving the development of the local economy to a certain extent. Of course, because of the big blows, they will inevitably be criticized by some people, the most important of which is that they think that everything they do is "speculation" and a corner of the country.
At the beginning of this year, in view of some irregularities in the domestic economic field, the state issued a circular on "severely cracking down on criminal activities in the economic field." The local officials did not know the policy intentions of the state, and when they saw the seriousness of the document, they did not dare to slack off, and directly included the ten kings in the scope of the severe crackdown, and instructed the public security department to arrest them.
"The ten kings, six were arrested, and the other three people and I heard that the wind was wrong, so we ran away quickly, or we would also go to eat steamed buns in the number. Yao Weiqiang said with palpitations.
"Xiao Feng, I don't think Master Yao did anything wrong. Yang Haifan said, "He helped us sell the bearings, which is equivalent to helping those companies buy urgently needed parts, which is beneficial to both of us." It is only natural that he should extract a little of his hard work in it. If he hadn't been in the middle, those companies would have sent their own buyers to procure, and the travel expenses would have been at least 10 times more than the hardship fee taken by Master Yao. People like Master Yao are what we need so much. ”
"That's the limit of history. Feng Xiaochen smiled bitterly.
Discrimination against business by Chinese officials goes all the way back to ancient times. At that time, people believed that only agriculture and mulberry could create value, and businessmen bought and sold it, which was not suitable for the national economy and people's livelihood, but corrupted the social atmosphere. After the founding of New China, because the state adopted a planned economic system, and all material circulation was uniformly allocated by the state plan, non-governmental commercial activities were labeled as speculative and reversed, and at least in the past decade or so, they have been severely restricted or even severely cracked down.
Since the reform, the policy has been relaxed, business has gradually emerged, and business wizards such as the "Ten Kings" have been emerging. But in the eyes of some officials, businessmen are still different, and when they encounter the slightest trouble, these businessmen are undoubtedly the targets of attack.
