Qin Hai asked his father to contract the Baihe Agricultural Machinery Repair Factory, which was also a helpless move. Although individuals are allowed to run businesses in this era, issues such as the size of the enterprise and the number of employees are extremely complex and sensitive. It is said that some old men took the 1840 edition of the classic of the revolutionary teacher and found that the employment of more than seven people in a private enterprise is a capitalist relations of production, which must be strictly guarded, and it does not matter if there are less than seven people. Qin Hai didn't have such a strong nerve to entangle this kind of policy issue with others, so he could only find a way to avoid it.

Contracting a township enterprise is the most effective way to circumvent the policy. The development of township enterprises is vigorously advocated by the central authorities, and there will be no policy restrictions. The so-called contracting, at the township level, everyone knows that the way is just to put on a collectivized cloak for private enterprises. The contractors have the final say in all the business activities of such contracting enterprises, and they are economically responsible for their own profits and losses, and all the township and town governments have to do is to collect a certain amount of management fees.

There is such a policy loophole, Qin Hai would be a fool if he didn't drill it. He understands very well that all these policy restrictions are only temporary, and in another 10 years, everything will become clear, and it will not matter what to do then. The last time he went home, he asked his father to find out what companies in the town could be contracted, and this time he really got the order for the military shovel, and he did not hesitate to contract this long-defunct Baihe Agricultural Machinery Repair Factory.

After completing the contracting procedures, Qin Hai drove straight to Hongze without delay, went to the provincial military district, and handed over the relevant materials to Ge Dongyan. After Ge Dongyan received the materials, he immediately handed them over to Yue Guoyang, who telephoned Company A to inform Company A to transfer the advance payment for the military shovel to the account of the Baihe Agricultural Machinery Repair Factory, so that the working capital required for Qinhai's production of the military shovel was guaranteed.

During this period, Qin Hai also went to the middle school in the town, took out his sister Qin Shan's school registration information, and prepared to transfer Qin Shan to Pingyuan to go to middle school. He did this for two purposes, one is that Qin Shan can take care of his father in life after the past, and the other is that Qin Shan will be in the second year of high school after the start of school, Qin Hai plans to personally guide his sister in her studies so that her grades will improve significantly.

After everything was settled, Qin Hai drove the car, carrying Qin Minghua and Qin Shan, back to Pingyuan.

"Brother, is this our factory?"

When the jeep drove into the gate of Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant, Qin Shan poked his head out of the window, looked at everything in the factory curiously, and asked Qin Hai happily.

The Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant has been abandoned for many years, and the buildings are already old, and the grass is overgrown all around. Although Ning Mo and the others took a group of hired migrant workers to clean up for many days, the dilapidated atmosphere was still very obvious. However, in the eyes of Qin Shan, a country girl, the tall factory buildings, the towering iron-making furnaces, and the large pieces of scrap steel that can be seen everywhere, everything seems so domineering, far from being comparable to the small rice mills and carton factories in the town.

She listened to her brother and father chatting all the way, and knew that the factory they were going to would be in charge of her father's future and would be their own factory. Now seeing that the scale of the factory is so large, I can't help but feel excited.

"It's still big in the back." Qin Hai drove the car and said to Qin Shan happily.

Qin Minghua sat in the front passenger seat, although he was not as fuss as Qin Shan on the surface, but he was equally excited in his heart. With such a big factory, is it really under your own control? Although he is only the nominal factory director, and the real master is his precious son, this is far beyond the imagination of his dreams.

"Qin Gong is back?"

Several workers who were sitting around the roadside and eating lunch in the shade of a tree saw the jeep, and they all stood up with their rice bowls and greeted Qin Hai warmly.

Qin Hai parked the car next to him, jumped out of the car, and saluted everyone in return: "Master Qiao, Master Zhang, Master Liu......"

"Qin Gong, this is ......" Qiao Changsheng saw Qin Minghua who came down from the deputy seat at a glance, and asked Qin Hai with questions.

Qin Hai hurriedly introduced to everyone: "Masters, let me introduce to you, this is my father, his name is Qin Minghua." If our factory wants to resume production, we need someone to be responsible for some daily administrative affairs, so I invited my father to come over and serve as the director of our factory, hoping that everyone can support it. ”

"Director Qin, welcome, welcome!"

"Hello Director Qin!"

The workers greeted Qin Minghua in a chaotic manner, all with enthusiastic smiles on their faces.

After a few days, the workers have learned that they were able to be hired back to work because of the work of this "Qin Gong", who was the actual leader of the factory. Now Qin Gong has hired his father to be the factory director, which seems to everyone to be a natural thing, and even thinks that a middle-aged person like Qin Minghua is more reliable than Qin Hai to be the factory director.

Workers are accustomed to obedience, and it doesn't matter to them who is the factory manager, what matters is who is responsible for paying them. Since Qin Hai said that Qin Minghua was the director of the factory, they naturally regarded Qin Minghua as their financier.

Qin Minghua had made countless psychological preparations for being the factory director, but he still felt helpless in the face of such a warm greeting from the workers. Fortunately, with many years of life experience as support, he did not forget to smile and shake hands with everyone, and kept saying polite words such as "Xie Lu, thank you for everyone's support" in his mouth.

"Master Qiao, how is the work in the workshop progressing in the past few days?"

After everyone greeted Qin Minghua, Qin Hai asked Qiao Changsheng about the production situation, and he also wanted his father to enter the work state as soon as possible.

Qiao Changsheng said with joy on his face: "Production has resumed, we tried to smelt two furnaces with scrap steel in the factory, and found that all the equipment was intact. Later, after Master Li you invited came, he guided us to refine and taught us a lot of knowledge, and we all suddenly became enlightened, and then we realized that in the past, our Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant was simply a waste of steel......

"Wait, what did you just say, what Master Li?" Qin Hai was a little inexplicable.

Qiao Changsheng also said in surprise: "Isn't it the steelmaking master you invited from Hongze?" Call...... What is it called......"

"His name is Li Linguang, Master Li, and he also brought two young apprentices." A worker with a good memory next to him reminded.

Li Linguang ...... "Qin Hai stroked his forehead with his hand, I sell cakes, why did Li Linguang come here by himself, and he pretended to be Master Li." However, if you think about it, with Li Linguang's temper, it is really not a strange thing to pretend to be a steelmaking master like this.

"What about others?" Qin Hai couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't that coming?" The crowd pointed in one direction.

Qin Hai turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man in white overalls walking in this direction with two young people who were also wearing overalls, the middle-aged man said something to the two young people while walking, and the two young people nodded desperately, looking very respectful.

"This is all the knowledge that I taught you in my sophomore year, why did you forget it all in practice? Today's furnace steel, as soon as you look at the color, you will know that the deoxidation is not sufficient, and you are still in a hurry to make steel...... After returning to the dormitory in the evening, I turned out all the textbooks on electric furnace steelmaking and read the contents of Chapter 5. ”

More than a dozen steps away, Qin Hai could hear the middle-aged man's voice, which was obviously Li Linguang giving students a professional internship class.

"Master Li, come here, Qin Gong is back, and he also brought our Qin factory director." Several workers shouted to Li Linguang together, it seems that Li Linguang has been quite familiar with the workers in the past two days, and everyone has no estrangement from him.

"Ouch, Qin Gong, you're back." Li Linguang raised his eyes and saw Qin Hai, hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, and said to Qin Hai in a funny tone.

Qin Hai took a serious look at Li Linguang's work clothes, and saw that there was still the word "red steel" faintly on his left chest, and knew that this was the clothes of Hongze Iron and Steel Factory. Steelmakers have special protective clothing when operating in front of the furnace, and ordinary overalls after leaving the furnace. I don't know when Li Linguang's overalls were obtained from Hongze Iron and Steel Factory, judging from the color, it must have been at least more than 10 years old.

"What shall I call you?" Qin Hai asked Li Linguang with a smile.

"Just call me Master Li, they all call me that." Li Linguang smiled and pointed at everyone, and casually took the cigarette handed over by a worker and put it on his ear. This natural and impeccable action makes people really mistake him for an old worker who has worked in the factory for half his life.

"I'll tell you about it." Qin Hai didn't let Li Linguang always pretend to be a ghost like this, he pulled Li Linguang to his side and said to everyone: "This is Professor Li Linguang of the Metallurgical Department of our Anhe Institute of Technology, who specializes in steelmaking. Let's put it this way, there are only a few experts in the world who are more capable than Professor Li in the world. ”

As soon as Qin Hai's words came out, the workers were all stunned, their eyes widened, and they couldn't believe that this was true when they looked at Li Linguang.

"What, Professor!"

"Ah, Master Li is a professor?"

"I can't really see it...... No wonder he's so capable. ”

Everyone was talking, and one of the workers who was about to come forward to deliver the fire to Li Linguang also stopped, until the fire on the match burned his fingers, and he screamed and threw the match away.

"Uh...... Don't be like this, don't listen to Xiao Qin's nonsense, I'm just an ordinary teacher who teaches steelmaking. You still call me Master Li, the professor or something, they are all blind, blind. Li Linguang was like a naughty child who had been undisguised, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said to everyone in a loud voice.
