Chapter Seventy-Four: Good and Evil
In the sleeper compartment of the westbound train, Ning Zhongying and Qin Hai sat by the window face to face, looking at the scenery speeding by outside the window, while discussing in a low voice the technical problems in the large number of orders.
"Xiao Qin, I'm betting on you for the reputation and future of the whole factory. If you are bragging, not only would I rather not be able to protect the evening festival of Zhongying, and hundreds of people in the entire Qingfeng factory will be affected by you. Ning Zhongying said to Qin Hai in a half-joking, half-serious tone.
Qin Hai said with a smile: "Director Ning's words are exaggerated, we didn't take a penny of localization, even if we can't get qualified products after the worst, it's just that we have wasted our own time, so why not affect the future of the factory?" ”
Ning Zhongying shook his head and said: "You don't know what to do, the Pusang project is not an ordinary project, it is directly concerned by the central leadership, if it is done well, it is a political achievement, and if it is done badly, it is a political mistake." We've got more than 30 kinds of accessories at once, and if it turns out that we don't have the ability to do this at all, it's a very serious problem to cheat the organization. ”
"No...... Qin Hai said with a sad face, "Since that's the case, Director Ning, why do you have to be so bold for you, and directly follow more than 30 products." If we only take on one decorative board project, even if something goes wrong, at least the mistake is smaller, right? ”
Ning Zhongying glared and said, "It's not because Lao Tzu believes in you. You pat your chest and say that these problems can't stop you, and Lao Tzu will gamble with you. If we win the bet, our Qingfeng factory will be able to become the top factory in Anhe Province. If I lose the bet, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu can't even be the director of the research office, and they can still deduct my pension? ”
"Uh...... Old man...... Mighty. Qin Hai was speechless.
The longer he came into contact with Ning Zhongying, the more Qin Hai could feel the strong atmosphere of the rivers and lakes on Ning Zhongying's body. Ning Zhongying is definitely not an "old revolutionary" in the traditional sense, and the so-called adherence to principles, uprightness and other praise words are slightly out of harmony when applied to Ning Zhongying. If you want Qin Hai to evaluate, Ning Zhongying is an old fox, both good and evil, the big principles can be kept, but he is never rigid in the small sections.
For example, when he was the director of the factory, he sent the leaders of other enterprises or officials of government departments to them, according to strict terms, that is to be generous to the country and enterprises, and to practice unhealthy practices. However, in Chinese society, if a business leader really does not soak in oil and salt, and refuses to make friends with these "related households" at all, he can only make it difficult in the end, and he will not be able to accomplish anything, and at the end of the day, the whole enterprise will be dragged into the quagmire.
For another example, squeezing out Wei Baolin, Ning Zhongying certainly has some reason, but if it weren't for his personal relationship with Deputy Mayor Chai Peide, it would probably be delusional to successfully achieve a counterattack. Ning Zhongying did not follow the normal organizational procedures to complain to the county about Wei Baolin, but went through Chai Peide's back door, which can be regarded as a dishonorable approach.
This time to participate in the bidding for Pusang Automobile's parts, Ning Zhongying did take a big risk. For the same thing, it is at least hesitant to change to another business leader, such as Wei Baolin, a young cadre who cherishes his personal feathers. But Ning Zhongying is different, when he needs to take risks, he dares to make a desperate bet, and this kind of single-minded strength makes Qin Hai, a traverser, sigh to himself.
As for saying that he was full of "how is Lao Tzu" in front of a young worker, this is simply a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning. Qin Hai does belong to the rank of son and nephew in front of Ning Zhongying, Ning Zhongying calls himself "Lao Tzu", and Qin Hai can only accept it.
"Qin Hai, you tell me the truth now, can you win these techniques?" Ning Zhongying's eyes stared at Qin Hai and asked.
Qin Hai shrugged his shoulders to show his disdain for Ning Zhongying's interrogation method, and replied: "Old man, you just put 100 hearts, although my Xiao Qin is young, when has he ever been unreliable in speaking?" ”
"I'm curious, how can the problem that so many big factories can't solve, in your opinion, be a very simple problem? Are you a genius? Ning Zhongying brought up the question that he couldn't figure out.
Qin Hai thought for a while and said, "Well, I think I'm afraid there are a few aspects." First, the bureaucratic style of those large enterprises is too serious, and they are afraid that they will get into trouble if they fail to tackle key technical problems, so they give up after a little difficulty. Director Ning thinks it's right? ”
Ning Zhongying nodded: "Maybe there is something like this." ”
"Second, I have indeed put some effort into materials science, and I have also received the guidance of Professor Chen Heqian and some other professors, so I can be regarded as a famous teacher and apprentice." Qin Hai then took Chen Heqian out as his shield.
Ning Zhongying didn't know the status of Chen Heqian before, but seeing that Ma Changfeng and Yang Xinyu worshiped this person like this, he could also feel his bullish spirit. Hearing Qin Hai say that he had received Chen Heqian's guidance, so that he had some outstanding points, Ning Zhongying nodded again.
"Third...... Maybe I'm more lucky, I happened to read some of these materials when I was studying in the past, and I had some ideas, so I just used these accessories to practice my hands. Qin Hai made up another reason for himself, although this reason was actually untenable at all. He casually saw the information when he was young, and how many engineers and technicians in large factories had never seen it, who would believe such a story?
Ning Zhongying didn't pursue it further, Qin Hai's skills that he had shown before were already convincing, and Ning Zhongying himself was not an expert in techniques, so he couldn't ask anything famous if he studied it deeply. He changed the topic and asked, "Xiao Qin, now that we have received so many orders, what do you think about the next step?" ”
Qin Haidao: "Director Zhao promised to find us an order of 100,000 yuan in Haidong Province, and after you go back, you will immediately send Section Chief Xiao to bring a few people over to pick up some traditional businesses that we are more familiar with, at least to feed the factory first." ”
"It's natural, I've got it done." Ning Zhongying nodded and said.
Qin Hai said: "The rotary tillage blades exported to Japan involve several technical links, including the transformation of the steelmaking electric furnace, the test of the steel formula, and the improvement of the post-heat treatment process. However, the issue of funding must be implemented first, otherwise it will be difficult for me to cook without rice. ”
"You told me last time that you need to invest 20,000 yuan, is that true?" Ning Zhongying asked.
"Exactly." Qin Haidao.
"I'll give you this money as soon as I get back!" Ning Zhongying said without hesitation.
"The old factory director Shengming." Qin Hai slapped Ning Zhongying again, and then said: "The most troublesome thing is the matter of auto parts. ”
"Tell me, what's the trouble?" Ning Zhongying said.
Qin Haidao: "These more than 30 kinds of accessories involve hundreds of core processes of materials. I just know the idea of solving the problem, but in order to specifically determine the material formula and heat treatment process parameters, a lot of experiments must be carried out. This involves not only the cost of experimental materials, but also the procurement of some special experimental equipment. Even ......"
Speaking of this, Qin Hai also hesitated, he didn't know if it was appropriate for Lu Dao to continue.
"Say, what are you doing?" Ning Zhongying urged.
Qin Haidao: "If possible, I hope to be able to establish a special experimental center to do these experiments, which requires a large enough site. ”
It is indeed a bit appalling for a small agricultural machinery factory to build an experimental center, so Qin Hai was a little hesitant about this, for fear that Ning Zhongying would not approve.
Ning Zhongying didn't say anything to Qin Hai's words, but asked calmly, "How much does it cost in total to say this?" ”
Qin Haidao: "I didn't calculate carefully, it should be more than 1 million, and maybe even millions." ”
Qin Hai thought that a figure like 1 million would surprise Ning Zhongying, but he was wrong, Ning Zhongying still just nodded lightly when he heard this, as if he was expecting. After being silent for a while, Ning Zhongying asked: "Xiao Qin, if these experiments are successful, let's follow these more than 30 products, how much profit can we make?" ”
"After deducting the share to the cooperative enterprises, we should be able to fall 10 million to 20 million." Qin Hai replied.
"Every year?" Ning Zhongying confirmed.
"Every year!" Qin Hai replied.
The more than 30 kinds of accessories taken by Qingfeng Factory this time have a total unit price of more than 4,000 yuan. According to the goal of Pujiang Automobile Factory, the annual output of Pusang Automobile will reach more than 100,000 units in the next few years, which means that the annual output value of auto parts provided by Qingfeng Factory can reach 400 million.
After deducting the cost and the profit allocated to the cooperative enterprises, it is not a problem for the Qingfeng plant to fall into a net profit of more than 10 million.
"Damn, it's worth doing!" Ning Zhongying's eyes seemed to be on fire. In fact, Qin Hai has calculated the accounts, Ning Zhongying himself has calculated, and the profit he calculated is even higher than Qin Hai's estimate, because he has a more thorough understanding of the production cost of Qingfeng Factory than Qin Hai. It was precisely because he saw such a huge profit that he did not hesitate to go out of his way to accompany Qin Hai to go crazy.
"But, can we get the upfront investment of two million?" Qin Hai reminded.
"I went to Lao Chai and asked him to help us get a loan from the bank. I really can't do it, I mortgaged the Qingfeng factory to the bank, and I have to lend out the money anyway. Ning Zhongying said heroically.
With the longing for the bright future of Qingfeng Factory, the old and young only hated that the train was going too slowly, and they couldn't wait to put on their wings and fly back to Pingyuan, and immediately began to arrange various tasks.
At Pingyuan Railway Station, two people were also anxiously looking at the big clock hanging on the platform, waiting for the direct express train from Pujiang.
