"Lao Yao, you can run, you can't go if you don't go, Beidu Fur Factory has begun to negotiate business with us, the dog is left there, this guy is not deep or shallow, you said that if something goes wrong, a boiler will be gone, this is not a trivial matter! You run fast, this little road is not a problem for you, you go and invite this little ancestor back. As soon as Lao Yao entered the door, the old secretary said to Lao Yao.

"Okay, I'll go, as soon as you call me, I know this meal is not going to be good. What else is going on? Lao Yao asked.

"It seems that there is a problem with their funds, so you can also ask about their specific difficulties and see if we can help. I know this man, he's not the kind of person who doesn't follow the rules. Nothing else, hurry up. ”

"Okay." After Lao Yao finished speaking, he got up and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Gou Yu put down the phone and said casually: "It's too bullying!" ”

"That's it? Is this what you're going to do? Lao Chen asked puzzled.

"Don't worry, you will, the heavenly soldiers will come in a while, and I can't delay your business. I'll go to bed, you can be as busy as you want, just don't delay your business. After saying that, the dog left and walked out of the house.

Lao Wang glanced at Lao Chen, meaning to say: What to do now, people are still waiting for a reply.

"What do you want me to do? The old secretary must be waiting there, what do you want me to do? It's hard to ride a tiger! Lao Chen lit a cigarette and said.

"Lao Chen, take this step, there is no way to do it, it's all a poor word, you can't go out of this step, you are afraid of wolves and tigers, and you don't have time to take off this poor hat! Besides, people are not forcing us to die, they are all starting from the same starting line, everyone is gritting their teeth and moving forward, it's not that our family is having a hard time! ”

Lao Chen took two puffs of cigarette hard, slammed the butt of the cigarette on the ground, and stood up and said, "I'll make this call." ”

"Hey, Captain Three?" Lao Chen dialed the phone and said.

"Director Chen, it's me, it's me." The third captain said.

"That's it, you can come with personnel and equipment tomorrow, we are waiting for you, we can't drag it on like this indefinitely! I can't afford to put it off, sometimes time is more precious than money! Lao Chen said firmly into the microphone.

"Okay, okay, Director Chen! Sometimes, making a decision is more valuable than making a deal! We are all collective enterprises, and we are all brother units, and we have incomparable advantages of private enterprises. Take our two enterprises as an example, we have set the enterprise on the basis of winning by quality, which is the fundamental driving force for our foothold and development and the source of capital accumulation! ”

In other words, without this guarantee, everything is empty and false. Everything is difficult at the beginning, with a good start, we are not afraid that our products will not be sold! Director Chen, you are a responsible factory director, you are the same as our old secretary, you are a person who has the courage to take responsibility, you will definitely lead the big guy to a well-off! ”

"Lao Chen, that's it, I hung up the phone and quickly organized the staff to install boilers, radiators, and steel pipe parts, I estimate that we won't be able to sleep before twelve o'clock tonight, and we will arrive on time before eight o'clock tomorrow!" The third captain said.

"Okay, we're not idle, I'm also going to notify some people to come early tomorrow morning to make room for you in the workshop, and try not to delay your installation time."

"Okay Lao Chen, due to the tight time you require, we are likely to install it around the clock, it is estimated that you will also have a bad rest, and we will guarantee that it will be completed according to the contract on the fourth day. Okay, so be it, I'll go get ready. ”

"Tell them that someone surnamed Yao will come to them in a moment." The old secretary said to the third captain on the side.

"Oh, by the way, Lao Chen, once a person surnamed Yao is going to look for you. One is to pick up the child, and the other is to talk to him if you have any difficulties and see if he can help you. ”

"Oh, okay, thank you then."

"No thanks, it's all as it should be. Lao Chen, then I'm going to get busy. After the third captain finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Lao Wang." Lao Chen hung up the phone and said to Lao Wang: "It's not too late, you go to the village to notify more than a dozen people, tell them to come to the factory on time at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and let them put the leather in the warehouse workshop in the middle, as far away from the wall as possible, so as not to affect the construction of others." ”

"Okay, I'll go." After speaking, Lao Wang walked out of the office.

Lao Wang went to call for manpower, which means that the hesitant Beidu Fur Factory, after a long time of painful learning, finally came out of the shadows and took the most important step forward! Lao Chen lit a cigarette again, and he suddenly felt very bright and relaxed in his heart!

Lao Chen walked out, glanced at the huge courtyard, and looked around at the surrounding factories, all of which were the most powerful testimony of his determination to lead the villagers out of poverty after careful consideration! Tomorrow the boiler will be installed, and this is one of the most difficult problems to choose in their way, and its dust will mean that in four days, they will be producing the first furs that the villagers have been waiting for!

At this time, a burst of snoring could be heard, Lao Chen turned around and followed the reputation, and couldn't help but laugh "poof", he remembered the two stunned people who were with Gou Yu and Gou Yu. Thank you Xie Chuan, if it weren't for your arrival, maybe I still wouldn't have made this decision, it was you who saved me, saved our factory, and saved our fellow villagers!

Lao Chen turned around and walked into the house, this was the room where he and Lao Wang rested, and saw Gou Yu and Er Er stunned lying down and snoring very casually, not even covering the quilt. Lao Chen stepped forward and picked up the quilt and covered it with the two of them, and said to sleep, I don't know how I got over this way, I'm already tired, let's sleep well.

Lao Chen covered the quilt for the two of them, sat down on the table again, picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine to calculate the future. I don't want to, I can't do it, one thing starts, and then one thing after another will fall heavily, urging you to move forward, and it's impossible to stop. The cumbersome leather making process, each batch of finished finished leather takes three or four days, and each process is not a sloppy technical work.

Now Lao Wang is a person who is familiar with the whole procedure, he also went to Xinji for three months of training, and the actual independent operation has never been, whether the first batch of skins can successfully pass the quality control, it is still unknown!

This is the most vital part of production, a small number of supply contracts to see if the first shot can be fired, once successful will earn a good reputation, this is the first shot to open up sales to earn eyeballs and gain trust!

At this time, the door curtain was raised, and Lao Wang came in.

"Come, sit. Noticed? Lao Chen asked.

"Well, I've been informed, I'll be on time at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Hmm. I can't sleep anyway, so let's have some more drinks. Lao Chen and Lao Wang each took a sip of wine while holding the bowl, and Lao Chen asked again, "Are you sure?" ”

Lao Wang was chewing the sparrow meat in his mouth, listening to Lao Chen's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Lao Chen meant and said: "When I was training in Xinji, the whole process was passed, and I haven't experienced it yet, not only do you ask me, I am also thinking about this problem along the way, the more I think about it, the more nervous I feel, if this cannon can't be fired, this is a big thing!" ”

"It would be nice if I went to a few more people, you see now I'm alone, I'm blind, I want to demonstrate to the big guy one by one, I can't ask for progress without quality, the first month is estimated to be unable to sell the product, if there is a professional technician to help us after the start of construction, it will be half the effort."

"Who will come if you don't pay for it? Didn't we let you go by yourself to save a few bucks? ”

"Only the stupid bird flew first, and we couldn't afford to waste a skin and succeed in it!"

The two chatted and drank wine, and before they knew it, an hour passed, and Lao Wang said to Lao Chen: "Squint, it's almost ten o'clock." ”

"You go and squeeze with them on the kang, I'll sit back again, you see where there is still a place to sleep, I'll go back to sleep later." Hey Wang, if I'm gone, remember to go out and have a look, don't lose your skin, that's our lifeline! ”

"Don't worry, I feel light." Lao Wang lay on the corner of the kang as he spoke, and most of the place was occupied by these two guys.

Lao Wang fell asleep, Lao Chen picked up the bowl again, and just as he was about to drink, the corner of his eyes suddenly found that the thick canvas curtain moved, and he subconsciously felt that this was definitely not blowing by the wind, someone?

"Who?" The alert old Chen shouted at the door.

At this time, Lao Wang, who had just laid down, also got up from the kang and stared at the door.

"Me." With a "My son fell to the ground, a figure flashed in, and a big man stood in front of them."

"Who are you?" Lao Chen then asked.

"Why, they didn't say hello to you?" The man said.

Lao Chen was slightly stunned and said, "Old Yao? ”

Lao Yao smiled and nodded at them.

"I plugged the door when I came back, how did you get in?"

"I never knock on the door." Lao Yao said.

"Since it was introduced by the old secretary, it is not an outsider, come and come, sit down and talk." Lao Chen stood up and hurriedly said hello.

Lao Yao looked at the two people sleeping on the kang, and sat down without speaking.

"They're drinking too?" Lao Yao looked at the table and said, there were four bowls on the table, and he guessed that the dog was also drinking.

"Drink less, hey, kid, don't drink much." Lao Chen picked up the bottle and looked at it, and when there were two taels of wine left, he said to Lao Wang: "Lao Wang, go get another bottle." ”

"Okay, let's go." Lao Wang agreed, got off the kang, put on his shoes and was about to go out.

"No, I'll take that." After Lao Yao finished speaking, he took out two bottles of Shijiazhuang Daqu from his arms and put them on the table, picked up one bottle, held the bottleneck with one hand, and lifted the bottle cap up with his thumb nail cap, only to hear the sound of "boom" opened the bottle, poured it into the three bowls, and said: "Come, my surname is Yao, I am the uncle of the dog, and the child has caused you trouble." After Lao Yao finished speaking, he took a big sip.

Lao Chen and Lao Wang looked at each other, and said in their hearts, why are the people of Yitang so weird? In the afternoon, there was a quirky one, and in the evening there was another one who didn't knock! It doesn't look like a bad person, but he exudes a sense of pride.

"Hahaha, that's not true, this kid is full of aura, we all like it, it's not in the way. At the same time, don't worry, he's here with me, make sure you can't lose it, I'll take care of it. After Lao Chen finished speaking, he also came to the spirit, and "Gu Dong" also took a big sip.

"The boiler is all settled?" Lao Yao took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, gave one to each person, lit it and asked.

"It's all negotiated, let's enter the venue early tomorrow morning." Lao Chen said.

"Fur factory?" Lao Yao asked again.

"Yes, we have a big place, and you can dig a sinkhole anywhere, which is very suitable for this." Lao Chen said.

"Is there anything else to do?"

"Nothing else, the rest is our own business"

"I'm here this time, first, I want to pick up the child, and second, to see if there is anything I need to help with, if not, I'll leave now."

Lao Chen looked at Lao Wang, and for a while he didn't know how to answer by Lao Yao's straightforward words.

"Even if I say, I will do my best to help if I can, and I will say it directly if I can't."

"Oh oh, okay, come, you come from afar, let's have a drink first." Lao Chen picked up the bowl and thought about how to say it, and said in his heart how this person spoke straightforwardly, which made people feel weird.

"We have nothing else to worry about, but we are worried that we will not be able to control the quality of the product after the start of construction, and then there will be sales. The current technician is Lao Wang alone, he also came back from studying in Xinji for three months, and he has no practical experience, which is an uncertain place. Then there's the problem of marketing, which I just mentioned. ”

"We have just started this industry, and the way has not yet flowed out, and the only sales channel is now the tannery that trained Lao Wang promised us the quantity of 200 pieces per month. It's too little, it can't feed us at all, not to mention the expansion of the company, it's good to be able to spend money on the villagers! That's it. Lao Chen came out with a pot and a plate.

Lao Yao took a puff of cigarette and swallowed it deeply into his stomach, and then a faint smoke floated out of his mouth and nostrils, and then glanced at the dog lying on the kang and said to Lao Chen: "When are you going to start work?" ”

"Four days later, that is, the official trial operation on the 18th." Lao Chen said.

Lao Yao said "um" and said, "Do you have dry food?" ”

Lao Chen was stunned again and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Lao Wang, Lao Yao is hungry, hurry up and get dry food." ”

"No, just take a newspaper, wrap it in three or four, and take a piece of pickle gnocchi and hug it together." Lao Yao said.

"Oh oh, I'll go get it." As he spoke, Wang quickly got up and went to the stove.

"You're the factory director. I'll leave now, I guess I'll be back at four or five o'clock, I mean you must show me this kid, if I don't come back, don't let him go, even if you can't look at him, you have to ask where he is, you see, okay? Lao Yao said.

"Good, good, no problem. What are you going to do? Go and solve the problem for us? Lao Chen asked.

"I'll try it, and I'll come back at four or five o'clock to answer you."

"Okay, thank you in advance."

"Come to Lao Yao, it's all in the newspaper, give it." As he spoke, Lao Wang came in and said to Lao Yao.

Lao Yao took the paper bag, put it in his arms, stood up and said to the two, "You guys rest, I'm leaving." ”

Lao Yao left the house after speaking, and Lao Chen and Lao Wang didn't even have time to say a word. Lao Chen and Lao Wang looked at each other for a while, and then they came to their senses, and said in their hearts, why should they send it away? So they hurried out of the house.

When the two of them walked out of the house and came outside, they walked around the courtyard for a while, and they didn't even see a single figure, even the big iron gate was locked well.

There was silence in the courtyard, Lao Chen and Lao Wang stood in place and looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly felt like they had encountered a ghost in their hearts.
