Everyone joked, and Ning Zhongying asked Qin Hai again: "Xiao Qin, you are a person who knows how to use technology, do you think we can do something new to come out in the next step to get Qingfeng Factory out of the predicament?" ”

"Can rotary tillage blades count?" Qin Hai asked.

Ning Zhongying's face darkened, and he slowly shook his head and said, "I can't forget it." ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Hai was taken aback. After Ning Zhongying's comeback, the first thing to grasp is to promote the development of rotary tillage blade surfacing process, now the overlay automatic fixture has been manufactured, the post-processing of the blade is progressing smoothly, the whole factory staff believe that rotary tillage blade can become a flagship product of Qingfeng factory, at least to ensure that Qingfeng factory this year to achieve the goal of stopping losses. But Ning Zhongying suddenly said such pessimistic words, what was the reason?

"Yesterday, Lao Xiao came back from Hongze and brought back bad news." Xiang Jiyong explained for Ning Zhongying, "The provincial agricultural materials company promised to accept our 20,000 pieces of stock blades, but no more orders were placed in the future. ”

"For what?" Qin Hai asked strangely, "Where did we offend them?" For example...... Forgot to give them meaning? ”

Qin Hai still has some understanding of the current social atmosphere, and when he asks people to do things, he has to "meaning" it to some extent. At that time, people's courage and appetite were not big, and a pot of tea oil and a few catties of sugar could express "meaning". He didn't know if Xiao Dongping had neglected these etiquettes, but with his guess, an old supply and marketing like Xiao Dongping should not make such a low-level mistake.

Xiang Jiyong said: "No, the relationship between Lao Xiao and the agricultural materials company is good, and the thanks that should be expressed have already been expressed." The agricultural materials company also did its best, the market in the province is not big enough, they also specifically contacted the big farms in the northeast, and also sold some of them, but it is still difficult to digest the 20,000 blades. ”

Ning Zhongying saw that Qin Hai still didn't quite understand, and added: "Now the situation is similar everywhere, and agricultural machinery enterprises are half-dead, so all provinces must protect their own enterprises and are unwilling to purchase goods from other provinces." Although the quality of our blades is no less than that of some large factories in other provinces, and it is much stronger than those small factories, you can't do anything about local protectionism. ”

"I see." Qin Hai nodded. He really ignored this key factor, that is, the national market was fragmented from each other, each province and city was a closed economy, and the barriers of local protectionism were far greater than the barriers to international trade in later generations.

At that time, if a certain commodity was in demand, then local enterprises would strictly restrict sales to other places, and at the same time send procurement personnel to foreign markets to rush to buy. On the other hand, if there is a relative surplus of a commodity, then all localities will restrict enterprises from other provinces and cities to sell their goods locally, leaving the limited local market to their own enterprises.

At that time, the cruelty of local protection was unimaginable to later generations. In order to protect the local supplies from flowing out, some localities do not hesitate to use militia and police to be on duty at provincial borders with loaded guns and ammunition. In order to evade inspection, those "unfortunate masters" who value the price difference between provinces often have to hire peasants near the provincial border and take remote roads to cross the border, and their behavior is similar to smuggling.

Some time ago, the rotary tiller blades of Qingfeng Factory were unsalable, because the product quality was too poor, and most of the users of those rotary tillers in the province were state-owned farms and had strong lobbying ability, so agricultural companies did not dare to risk the world's condemnation and forcibly forced them to accept the products of Qingfeng Factory. But if the products of Qingfeng Factory can be put on the table a little, they can also enjoy the treatment of local protection.

"So, there's no hope for our blades?" Qin Hai asked.

Ning Zhongying said: "This kind of thing, pay attention to individual things, and it is man-made. By the way, Xiao Qin, what kind of sapper shovel did you tell me about in the car last time, what is the situation now? ”

"This matter is still in contact, and we can't start it until the troops are confirmed." Qin Hai explained.

Ning Zhongying said: "Ning Mo has been running out every day these days, saying that he is helping you contact some steel plant, what is going on?" ”

Qin Haidao: "The sapper shovels made for the troops need to use special alloy steel, and I want to borrow those idle steel-making equipment from the Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant to smelt." You can rest assured, we will do the steelmaking business, and the machining thing will be contracted to our Qingfeng factory. If the business is done, the list will definitely not be small. ”

"Smoke miasma! How nice it is to have this energy to put into your work! Ning Zhongying pretended to be angry and commented.

Ning Zhongying knew that this business was Qin Hai's private work, and his son Ning Mo also had a share. He is not a conservative person, he has taken a wait-and-see attitude towards Qin Hai and Ning Mo's actions, and he does not stop them. Of course, if Qin Hai and Ning Mo go too far and run into the edge of the law or policy, the old man will not sit idly by.

Xiang Jiyong had also heard about the sapper shovel, because the matter involved Ning Mo, so it was inconvenient for him to say anything. He pulled back the conversation and said, "Director Ning, what are your plans for the rotary tillage blade?" ”

Ning Zhongying said: "I thought about it last night, I'm afraid I have to go out of this matter, Xiao Dongping can make a little trouble, and he has no idea when he encounters a big event." ”

"That's great!" Xiang Jiyong fell to the ground like a stone in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, "Lao Xiao and I were still discussing yesterday, saying that I can ask you to come out." Several large agricultural machinery factories in Jinling and Pujiang, if they are willing to accept our blades, we will really live. ”

"You guys!" Ning Zhongying pointed at Xiang Jiyong with his finger, with a look of hatred that iron is not steel, but he was a little proud in his heart. During his tenure, Blue Point was able to maintain profitability not only because of his authority in the factory, but also because of various connections throughout the country. Xiang Jiyong said that the directors of several large agricultural machinery factories in Jinling, Pujiang and other places are all good friends of Ning Zhongying. These factories produce rotary tillers, not blades. If Blue Point can connect with them and get them to recommend their users to use Blue Point blades, the sales effect can be very significant.

Ning Zhongying had already thought of this step when he listened to Xiao Dongping's report on the situation of the provincial agricultural materials company. As the factory director, there are many opportunities for him to go out to sell products in person, but he didn't expect that after two years of retirement, he would have to return to his old business so soon.

"Xiao Qin, you prepare, and you will go on a business trip with me tomorrow." Ning Zhongying instructed Qin Hai.

"What am I for?" Qin Hai asked puzzledly, "Isn't it that Section Chief Xiao is going with you?" ”

"Not so many people." Ning Zhongying replied.

"I'm also human......" Qin Hai was depressed again.

No matter what Qin Hai thought in his heart, Ning Zhongying ordered his general, and he could only follow. In fact, he has been thinking about the sapper shovel in his heart, and Yue Guoyang has never given him an answer, and he doesn't know what the reason is. Before leaving the provincial military district, Yue Guoyang lent him a jeep and allocated 2,000 yuan as an advance payment. He had already spent some money, and the jeep was driving everywhere, if things couldn't be done in the end, he didn't know how to go back and explain to Yue Guoyang.

After telling Ning Mo, Yu Haitao, Miao Lei and the other three of them some things repeatedly, Qin Hai finally set off with Ning Zhongying. They took a car, then a train, and a river ferry, and then arrived in Jinling City.

Wu Guishan, the director of Jinling Agricultural Machinery Factory, was a friend of Ning Zhongying, and when he heard that Ning Zhongying had arrived in Jinling, he immediately sent a car to take Ning Zhongying and Qin Hai to the factory. Ning Zhongying got out of the car, and before his feet touched the ground, Wu Guishan stepped forward with a smile and grabbed his arm, and said, "Ha Luha, Lao Ning, you old guy, aren't you taking a back seat?" Why are you Hu Hansan back again? ”

"Hu Hansan is back again" is an allusion in the movie "Shining Red Star", the older generation likes to quote such allusions, and there is no taboo in the slightest that the character referred to is a big villain. In Qin Hai's view, Ning Zhongying and Hu Hansan still have some similarities, and they both have a bit of a heroic temperament.

Ning Zhongying briefly told Wu Guishan about the Qingfeng Factory, Wu Guishan was deeply touched, nodded and said: "Our situation here is the same, however, our municipal government is quite smart, let them like the person who understands first as the executive deputy director, and I, a foolish person, is still the factory director." As a result, the understanding person has worked for a year, and he has done a lot of foolish things, and now he is transferred by the city government to harm other factories. This Jinling Agricultural Machinery Factory is still left to me, a foolish person, to manage. ”

"The ancients said that it is rare to be confused." Ning Zhongying said with a smile.

"That's right, that's right, it's hard to be confused." Wu Guishan said, "Let's go, the small canteen has prepared a meal, let's eat first, and talk while eating." By the way, today I want to celebrate your Lao Ning's return to the mountain, let's not get drunk. ”

Ning Zhongying was not embarrassed, and laughed with Wu Guishan generously while walking in the direction of the small canteen.

A middle-level cadre from the Jinling factory had already come forward, first asked Qin Hai's name and position, and then invited Qin Hai to go to the small canteen with the leaders. Qin Hai didn't know what kind of friendship Lu Daoning Zhongying and Wu Guishan had, nor did he know what Lu Dao should do, so he adopted the strategy of listening more and talking less, only chatting with the other party about the customs and customs, and not involving the business situation.
