(Haha!Stupid author finally has money to secure the network cable, and there will be traffic to check the information after the village Netcom!)

"How much can the new product improve the efficiency of machine operation?" Jia Lei asked nervously.

"About 2.5 percent!" said the Stanford engineer.

"2.5% is a great invention, have you applied for a patent?" Jia Lei asked busily.

"Not yet, this is the first sample!" said the Stanford engineer.

"You immediately prepare the patent application materials, and you go and assist him to apply for a patent at the patent office, not only for patents in Germany and EU member states, but also for patents in all countries in the world. The faster the better!" Jia Lei said immediately.

"This patent is very important, if we produce this new product, will we still lose money?" Jia Lei asked.

At least during the patent protection period, our factory will not lose money, because with the new patent, we can increase the price of the product. "The old director Podolsky.

"But even if there is a new patent, I'm afraid the price can't be increased by three times, right? If the price is less than 300 marks, I still won't make a profit. Jia Lei said.

"300 marks, but the most expensive similar products in EU member states are 120 marks, even if our patents are very powerful, we can buy at most 200 marks, and no matter how expensive it is, it is better to use ordinary bearings. Manager Mok said that no matter how he said that he was also the manager of a bearing factory, he still knew this kind of industry information.

"I know. Although the bearing production will lose money, but we can collect a large amount of royalties, I calculated that the patent was taken over to subsidize the bearing factory to break even, without bankruptcy. Podolsky, the old director of the factory, said.

"What are you kidding, if this is not as good as the white-collar wages that everyone does not work and go home, then it can reduce losses! As long as the losses are reduced, the patent bearing factory can still make a profit at the end of the year! Who do you think would be so stupid?" Manager Mock said disdainfully.

"No, how can you not work and get paid for nothing? This will not work. Podolsky, the old director of the factory, said.

"The new boss heard that you are a good person, so you should support us. The old factory director Podolsky asked Jia Lei.

"It's true that I'm a good person, but I don't necessarily support you, putting aside Manager Moke's personal character problems and my likes and dislikes! Objectively, what Manager Mok said makes sense. Jia Lei thought about it and said.

In fact, this is the case, production is at a loss, and instead of production, taking money in vain can reduce losses and increase profits.

"Who wouldn't let them get paid for nothing? I'm afraid you'll be laying off workers or closing down the factories then?" asked Podolsky, the old factory director.

"That's exactly what happened, and our contract with the Trusteeship Bureau stated that if the company couldn't save itself and was facing serious losses, I would have the right to close the business, as long as I paid a severance pay. Jia Lei said.

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and the contracts of the Trusteeship Authority are basically the same, and you can know the basic terms of this kind if you inquire carefully.

"And what are we going to do?" asked Podolsky, the old factory director.

"Now there are two options. The first is that I shut down the factory, and each of you can get three months' salary for severance pay, and the second is that you find a way to reduce the cost, as long as the products you produce are no longer losing money and can make a profit, I will keep this factory. Jia Lei said.

"No loss, cost reduction, is this possible?" asked Podolsky, the old factory director, suspiciously.

"I don't care, there are only two options anyway! Give you a month, if you don't think of a way before April 30th, I'll close the factory. Jia Lei said mercilessly.

"I ...... Let's give it a try. Podolsky, the old director of the factory, said.

"So you chose 2?" Jia Lei asked.

"Yes......" said Podolsky, the old factory director, with difficulty.

"If there is a way, we won't be mixed up like this, I'd better let my men go home and stay! Manager Mock said that Jia Lei felt that what he said was particularly pleasing to the ear.

No matter whether the good worker is a bad worker, he can help the boss make money - no, the one who can help the boss stop the loss is a good subordinate!

＊＊＊＊

The plan is always not changing fast, and before Jia Lei has time to finish counting the actual assets of the bearing factory, a major event happened - Jia Lei had to extinguish the idea of closing the ZC bearing factory, and continued to operate the broken factory that lost to his grandmother's family.

"What are you talking about? Director Rohedder of the Trusteeship Bureau was shot dead at home? No way!" Jia Lei said as he looked at Pete with wide eyes.

"Yes, boss! I just got news from Secretary Hans. Pete said dryly.

"Don't lie to me, I know today is April Fool's Day, April 1st! You have lied to me several times since this morning!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

Jia Lei was really shocked when he first heard the news, but when he looked back at the calendar, he remembered that today was April Fool's Day.

"Boss, I'm not kidding this time!" Pete said with a serious face.

"No...... No, we just met last Monday. Jia Lei said.

"Such a big thing will be in the newspaper tomorrow! I can't lie to anyone, this time it was Secretary Hans who specially called to tell me, and I only knew the news in advance!" said Pete with a pale face.

"Why would anyone want to kill Director Rohedder?" asked Jia Lei.

"The Trusteeship Bureau has offended too many people in the past year, more than two million people have been forced to lay off, and thousands of enterprises have been sold off and closed! Director Rohedder has countless people who wish he would die immediately. Pete said.

"That's it...... Are you going to kill someone?" asked Jia Lei.

"Yes! Many people have no jobs and can't even afford to eat, so they have to go to the government to receive benefits...... A lot of people don't even have pensions! This hatred is too deep and too strong!" Pete said.

"You're right! Cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents!" Jia Lei said with a deep breath.

"What should we do with the boss's problem now?" asked Pete with a white face.

"What does Director Rohedder's death have to do with us?" asked Jia Lei, puzzled.

"They all say that the people who shot Director Rohedder were the work of workers who had been laid off and sold their lives......," Mr. Pitt said.

"Is there any evidence? Is it so difficult that the prisoner has already been caught?" Jia Lei asked.

"No, but isn't that obvious, and now we should be worried about our safety. Pete said with a white face.

"Do you mean that the workers of the ZC Bearing Factory ......?" Jia Lei said that his face immediately turned white, and he finally understood what Pete was afraid of.

"Yes, boss! There are more than 2,200 workers in the ZC Bearing Factory, and there are 3,000 workers on the two farms and their families! But according to our original plan, these 5,000 people will be cut off from their economic resources after the enterprise goes bankrupt, and what if there is a madman with a gun to kill people among so many people?" asked Pete.

"It's a big deal, God, is this going to let me die?" Jia Lei said in a frustrated manner.

"Maybe it's fake? Maybe it's just an April Fool's joke that Secretary Hans played with you?" said Jia Lei with a one-in-10,000 hope.

"I hope so, too!" said Pete praying as he crossed it.

＊＊＊＊

Unfortunately, reality ruthlessly broke Jia Lei's illusions, and on April 2, 1991, the same news was published in the social pages of all German newspapers.

On 1 April 1991, the head of the State Property Trust Agency, Detlev Karsten Zei (police), believed that the Red Brigades had committed the crime, but the perpetrator has not yet been found.
