Jia Lei was particularly embarrassed to talk to Manager Moke and walked to the empty running assembly line, and he deliberately looked at the conveyor belt shaft of the assembly line.

"Manager Moke, listen, the conveyor belt in the third workshop has no noise at all, and the conveyor belt in the second workshop has a rattling and rattling noise when it is running, which means that the conveyor belt has not been running for a long time!" Jia Lei said.

"Impossible, the third workshop has long been suspended! Our factory has not started for three months, why is its machine fine?"

"I ask them to check the machine every day, and I personally take people to do the daily maintenance and maintenance of the assembly line. It's a pity that the people in the second workshop didn't listen to me and didn't let me care, I didn't expect them to even bother to do basic daily maintenance. Podolsky, the old director of the factory, said.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense! Find someone to turn off the electric switch, don't you need money for the electricity bill?" Jia Lei said angrily, and Pruni, who had helped the old factory director steal the raw materials just now, hurriedly went to pull the main switch.

"Who are you?I think they all respect you?" Jia Lei asked as he looked at the old man in front of him.

"I am the director of this bearing factory, my name is Podolsky. Podolsky, the old director, introduced himself, and by this time the engineer, who had changed into a new overalls, returned.

"I'm the engineer and head of the new product development department at this plant, Steele Stanford. The engineer said.

Both the clothes he wore and the calluses on his hands were similar to those of a worker, and if it weren't for his self-proclaimed doorman, Pete would have almost taken him for an ordinary worker.

"Okay, now that we have all the people, let's talk about the future development of the factory, this is not the place to talk, let's find an office to talk about it!" Jia Lei said. He is well aware that there may be discrepancies between the report issued by the trusteeship bureau and the actual situation, and if he wants to know the real operation of this factory, he has to ask the people in the factory to be reliable.

"Why don't you go to my office, I have a sofa and a TV in my office. Manager Mock hurriedly said.

Jia Lei glanced at him with admiration, he didn't expect this scumbag to be so strong, and his face was so thick-skinned! I tore off his face just now, and it was only ten minutes before he was relieved again.

"No, I'd better go to my own office! Where is the chairman's office? Jia Lei said.

"We don't have a chairman's office! Because we are a state-owned enterprise, the chairman of the board of directors is named by Soviet government officials, and not long ago all these Soviet cadres have withdrawn from the country. Podolsky, the old director of the factory, said.

"Then go to your office!" Mr. Jia said.

"My office is too shabby, let's go to Manager Mock's office!" said Podolsky, the old factory director, after a moment's thought.

"It doesn't matter, I'm here to inspect the situation, not to enjoy the blessings! Jia Lei said.

"Well, I have a couple of chairs in my office. Said the director of the Podolsky plant.

＊＊＊＊

Jia Lei looked at the factory director's office in front of him and was worried, although Director Podolsky had already said that his office was a bit simple, but Jia Lei didn't expect it to be so simple.

The office of the director of a factory with several thousand workers was empty, with nothing but four white walls and a map, and there were several white prints on the wall that should have been framed by great men, and there were only two small single sofas in the room except for a pot of tiger pills, and all the other chairs were made of wood, and even these chairs were only two.

"This sofa has lost its color, I'm afraid it's been a long time, right?" asked Pete, looking at the faded and white beige sofa.

"For 10 years, I bought this sofa when it was the most profitable in the factory. Said the director of the Podolsky plant.

"There don't seem to be enough chairs to sit here! Stanford saw that Jia Lei had not sat down for a long time, and immediately understood.

"Hmm!" Jia Lei snorted softly, turned around and went out.

Manager Moke's office is completely different from the factory director's office, he is not only very well decorated, but also has a lot of new furniture, including a long set of sofas.

"It should have been less than a year since I bought this sofa, right?, where did the money come from?" Jia Lei asked with a frown as he looked at the sofa.

"Hmph, he stole the products from the factory and sold them!" said the director of the factory, Mr. Podolsky, angrily.

"How can I steal it, I have the authorization document of the Trusteeship Bureau in my hand, and I spent all the money from the sale of the product to the factory, even if you go to court, I didn't steal it. Manager Mock said.

"You...... If you sell the products in the factory at half price from me, you won't be stealing! Boss, you must fire this villain, otherwise it won't be good to have him in the factory. Director Podolsky gritted his teeth.

"Okay, shut up! I'm not here to listen to your quarrels, those are all from the past, I don't investigate the past! The past has nothing to do with me!" Jia Lei said with a wave of his hand, and then he walked to the boss's chair behind the desk and sat down.

"I'll talk about other things later, you tell me why the factory is losing money first!" Jia Lei leaned back in the chair and crossed his arms and asked.

＊＊＊＊

The reason for the loss of ZC Bearing Factory is very simple: for example, the production cost of No. 3 bearings produced by ZC Bearing Factory in East Germany during the period was 380 East German marks, and the cost of each bearing was 82 West German marks, and the products were sold to the West German enterprise Queller at a price of 140 West German marks, so that each product generated a profit of 58 West German marks.

And when the West German mark entered the GDR at the exchange rate of 1 to 1, the cost of each No. 3 bearing became 380 West German marks, and if it was sold at the price of 140 West German marks at this time, then not only would there be no profit, but also a loss of 220 West German marks.

"Why has the price of the same thing risen so much?" asked Jia Lei by knocking his hand on the table.

"In fact, the cost has not changed, the raw materials and workers we use are the same as before, but both the price of raw materials and the wages of workers have increased together according to the exchange rate of East German marks for West Germany. Because of the 1:1 exchange rate, various costs have increased. The old director Podolsky said helplessly.

"What then? Won't we produce in the future? The more we produce, the more we lose, and it seems that this factory will have to close its doors. Jia Lei said with a frown.

"No! we are still saved, we have developed new products. This is the No. 78 bearing that Stanford engineers are working on, and it uses a new technology that can improve the operating efficiency of the machine. With it, we can make money!" Podolsky, the old factory director, said and took out the hand-polished parts that Jia Lei saw from the window.

"How much can you improve the operation efficiency?" Jia Lei asked nervously, although he graduated from Normal University in his previous life, Grandpa Wang was a professor of mechanics in the Department of Physics.

Like this kind of common sense thing, Jia Lei can still understand it!
