Chapter 276: Sunday Engineer
In the early 80s. www.biquge.info There are not a few technicians like Dong Yan who use their spare time to provide services for other units, especially some township enterprises and individual enterprises. These people have a name, "Sunday Engineers."
In this era, some technical personnel are concentrated in state-run scientific research institutes and industrial and mining enterprises, and it is impossible for township enterprises and private enterprises to have such talents. Township enterprises and private enterprises need technology and can also pay a decent salary to hire technicians. However, the technical personnel in many state-owned units are not well paid, and they are superfluous, and they also have the time and desire to go to township enterprises to do some private work and earn some extra money.
The use of spare time to earn extra money is not a secret in the state sector. When Feng Xiaochen first arrived at the Metallurgical Bureau, he also met cadres like Wang Weilong and Cheng Xiaofeng who made money by translating foreign language literature for magazines. This kind of thing belongs to the people and the officials will not be held accountable, and the leaders of any unit will not meddle in their affairs.
Dong Yan had also been invited by some township enterprises to help out and make a little money in the past. This time, he helped Ruan Fugen with this mentality. Who would have thought that Ruan Fugen gave money so happily, and in just a few months, Dong Yan actually earned a salary equivalent to more than a year of his own, which made him a little carried away.
As the saying goes, money is the guts of the poor. Because it is easy to get money, Dong Yan's family's expenses have also risen. Dong Yan's wife used these extra money to buy several beautiful clothes that she had always wanted to buy, and she was quite ostentatious in the factory for a while. Dong Yan's son and daughter also have bicycles, footballs, travel shoes and other luxury goods in the eyes of children. Even Dong Yan himself bought a new watch quite a bag, wore it on his hand, and from time to time took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes to distribute to his colleagues, saying that it was given by a friend who had made a fortune.
When everyone is bitterly pointing to a few salaries to live, it is no wonder that your family is so conspicuous and does not attract jealousy. Although everyone has a time to go out to make extra money, but people make more than a dozen yuan a month, and you can make thousands a month.
Someone soon stabbed the matter to the factory director Ma Weixiang. When Ma Weixiang heard this, he was quite unimpressed, and scolded the whistleblower with pink eye with a smile, saying that whoever has the ability will make money, as long as it is not digging the corner of the factory, it will not affect the work, and the factory will not interfere. But when he heard that Dong Yan earned this money because he worked for Ruan Fugen, Ma Weixiang's face suddenly changed.
Ruan Fugen's matter was a slap in the face to Ma Weixiang. Not only on his face, but also in his heart. Due to Ruan Fugen's accident, the heads of these state-owned factories were disgraced, and they didn't dare to compete with Luo Xiangfei anymore, so they were forced to sign an alliance under the city. At present, the task subcontracted to Haihua has begun production, and the progress is quite smooth, but Ma Weixiang always feels that there is a thorn in his heart, not only feeling that the task taken in this way is a little aggrieved, but also worried that if there is a quality error somewhere, he will be punished by the Heavy Equipment Office.
For Ruan Fugen, Ma Weixiang has always been obsessed with it, cursing the straw man every day, hoping that there will be problems with the business subcontracted by Ruan Fugen, and then he can take a bad breath and look at Luo Xiangfei's jokes. In Ma Weixiang's thoughts, Quanfu Machinery Factory is just a township enterprise, with weak technical force, and if it subcontracts such cutting-edge equipment, it is certain that there will be problems. His only concern was where Nguyen Phuc Gen would be able to find foreign aid to solve the technical difficulties, so that Ma Weixiang's wish would be frustrated.
Whatever is terrible, this Ruan Fugen really went to find foreign aid, but this foreign aid is still the technical director under his nose, and he is almost one of the best chemical equipment technical experts in the entire Haidong Province, isn't this deliberately disgusting himself?
After receiving the report, Ma Weixiang immediately summoned Dong Yan and questioned him about helping Ruan Fugen. Dong Yan knew that something was wrong, so he was vague, and deduced that the reason why he frequently went to Hoi An City these days was that his wife was sick and he was going to visit the patient. Of course, during the visit, it is inevitable that he will help a relative to point out a little technical problems in production, and receive a little local products as a reward. If the factory thinks that this behavior is inappropriate, he resolutely corrects it and will never accept souvenirs again.
"Dong Yan, let me tell you, the last time you revealed the matter of the Economic Committee meeting to that Ruan Fugen, I still settle accounts with you! If you dare to eat inside and out, leak the technical secrets of the factory, and damage the public and private interests, I don't care how much you have contributed to the factory, I will let you go around without eating!" Ma Weixiang warned.
Because he knew Ma Weixiang's domineering, Dong Yan really didn't dare to disobey his will. In the following two weeks, Dong Yan made excuses and did not return to Hoi An to help Nguyen Phuc Gen. But Ruan Fugen is such a foolish person, he personally went to Jianlu City, the provincial capital, and entered Dong Yan's house with large bags of gifts. After meeting, Ruan Fugen didn't talk about technical matters, just talked about family life, and coincidentally set up a name to send a huge red envelope to Dong Yan's son and daughter, and this time, Dong Yan couldn't refuse his request.
The sage said well, if there is 100% profit, capital dares to risk hanging its head, and if there is 300% profit, capital dares to trample on all the laws of the world. In the face of Ruan Fugen's money offensive, Dong Yan's wife Xie Li was defeated first. She blew the pillow wind on Dong Yan for a night, from the good situation of reform and opening up, when it comes to small truths such as sons marrying daughters-in-law and daughters marrying, it finally boils down to one: It is a fool not to make money, and no one in the factory has done this kind of thing, so why can't we do it?
Dong Yan also engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, he imagined the various punishments that Ma Weixiang might give him, such as serious criticism, withholding bonuses, sitting on a cold bench, etc., and even thought of the most severe means to be removed from the post of director. At the same time, he also found countless reasons for himself, such as that as long as he secretly helped, he would not be discovered, and he should not be too swaggering financially in the future. He also remembered what Ma Weixiang said when he warned him, and according to these words, it seems that as long as he does not sell the technical secrets of the factory and does not use the resources of the factory, the factory does not seem to care......
As a result, Dong Yan's career as a Sunday engineer began again. He deceived himself into believing that Ma Weixiang was very busy with his daily work and would not specifically investigate the matter. He is even more naïve to believe that the most serious punishment is just dismissal.
Forget it if he is dismissed, if Lao Tzu can earn tens of thousands of yuan, what is there to be reluctant for a director?
Dong Yan endured his distress and said to himself.
But he never expected that Ma Weixiang's hatred for Ruan Fugen was so profound, which led to the punishment of anger on Dong Yan's head also turned into a thunderbolt. Just when Dong Yan had just returned to Jianlu after finishing his work in Hoi An and taking a long-distance bus, two policemen appeared in front of him and handcuffed him with stirrups.
At this moment, Xie Li knew that the matter was serious, and she ran to Ma Weixiang crying, claiming that she was willing to return all the "stolen money" and begging Dong Yan to be released in the factory. Ma Weixiang gave her an indifferent answer, claiming that Dong Yan was guilty of digging the corners of the country, and there was nothing the factory could do.
Xie Li searched all the leaders in the factory, and it wasn't until someone revealed the truth to her that she knew that behind this incident was the grievances between Ma Weixiang and Ruan Fugen, and Dong Yan was shot while lying down anyway. She thought of the fact that the bell must be tied to the bell, so she immediately called Ruan Fugen and asked Ruan Fugen to mediate.
When Ruan Phuc Gen heard this, he was also shocked like five thunderbolts. He is a businessman, and he has a special sensitivity to the hot and cold world, as early as when he was used by Luo Xiangfei and Feng Xiaochen, he knew that he had a grudge with Ma Weixiang and others, and this grudge may not be solved. Dong Yan is his distant nephew, and he is facing prison for helping him do things, and he can't ignore it.
So, Ruan Fugen brought expensive gifts, and with a smiling face, he came to Haihua and asked to see Ma Weixiang. He decided to use his face as a rag and let Ma Weixiang step on it with his feet, just to get Ma Weixiang to let Dong Yan go. However, Ma Weixiang did not give him a chance to meet at all, and asked the secretary to bring him a message, saying that if Nguyen Phuc Gen dared to send these gifts in, he would call the police again and ask the police to bring Nguyen Phuc Gen, an unscrupulous businessman who tried to "bribe state cadres", to justice.
At this point, Ruan Fugen knew that Ma Weixiang was iron-hearted, and it was definitely not something that could be moved by his few soft words or some gifts. Ruan Phuc Gen didn't know any powerful people in the province, so he couldn't use the power of others to move Ma Weixiang. In a hurry, he could only rush to the capital overnight and ask for help from the Heavy Equipment Office.
"It's all my fault for this, it's all my fault!" Ruan Fugen said in a loud voice, "Director Feng, Director Leng, you can help." If the police must arrest people, let them arrest me, Dong Yan eats the food of the state, once he is sentenced, his life will be over. I'm a farmer, it's not a big deal to go to jail for a few days, I can't hurt Dong Yan, how can I explain to his parents!"
Speaking of this, Ruan Phuc Gen burst into tears, completely lacking the calm confidence of an entrepreneur.
"How can these people do this?" Zhou Mengshi said indignantly, "Director Dong is using his spare time and has not affected his work, so why should the factory punish him? And he also went through judicial channels, isn't this a big fuss?"
Gu Shijian didn't eat the fireworks of the world like Zhou Mengshi, he shook his head and said: "This kind of thing must be against the regulations." If he makes less money, it doesn't matter, even if it's a small matter. However, listening to what Director Ruan just meant, Director Dong seems to have made a lot of money, more than a certain amount, this is considered an economic case, right?"
