Zhao Yuemin was stunned, he didn't expect to meet Deng Qinghui in the communication room in the factory. It's over, I haven't talked about business yet, but I offended the other party first.

"Director Deng, I didn't mean that just now...... Zhao Yuemin hurriedly explained.

"That's right, that's right. I'm just an idle factory manager, and I can only play chess in the communication room. Deng Qinghui snorted coldly and walked directly to the factory with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Yuemin hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "Director Deng, I didn't know you were ...... just now."

After going around the factory along the way, Zhao Yuemin also found that many workshops of the sixth grinding wheel factory had been closed and posted notes. The whole factory area is indeed relatively deserted.

In the factory director's office, Deng Qinghui held a teacup, sat on a leather chair, and said coldly:

"What's the matter with you? Say it......"

"I am Zhao Yuemin, the director of the Jiangbei Oilfield Machinery Repair Plant. I would like to come to talk to your factory about the procurement of synthetic diamond, this is a letter of introduction from the Chen Bureau of the Provincial Energy Bureau......"

Zhao Yuemin handed the letter of introduction to the other party.

"Yo, you became a factory director at such a young age?" Deng Qinghui snorted, "It's not easy." For people your age, you may not even be a section leader in my workshop. Unexpectedly, you are already a factory director. ”

"Director Deng, you have won the award."

Deng Qinghui glanced at Zhao Yuemin's letter of introduction and threw out a sentence:

"I'll look into it. Wait for my news. ”

After speaking, he took out a newspaper, spread it out and read it, and had no intention of continuing to talk to Zhao Yuemin.

After being cold for a few minutes, Zhao Yuemin thought to himself that he had come all the way to this valley, and he definitely couldn't just go back.

"Director Deng, I'm also here to negotiate with you about public business." Zhao Yuemin explained, "If I offended you in some way just now, please forgive me. The drill bits produced by our Jiangbei Oilfield Machinery Repair Factory urgently need your synthetic diamond as an industrial material......"

"Jiangbei Oilfield Machinery Repair Plant? I've heard it, I've heard it. Deng Qinghui looked out the window, "The provincial newspaper has always praised you, saying that as a pilot enterprise of the central reform, you have continued to innovate, developed new drill bits, and won tens of millions of orders, anyway, good words are continuous......"

"This ......," Deng Qinghui rubbed his hands and looked around, "If you look at my factory director's office, it can be said that there are four walls." We are a factory in the valley, and I can't think of anything we can do to help you. ”

"Director Deng, I still hope to promote the cooperation between our two factories. After all, this is also a big order for you. I hope you don't just ...... in the communication room."

Before Zhao Yuemin finished speaking, the phone on Deng Qinghui's desk rang.

"Hey, I'm Deng Qinghui. What the......? Another batch of workers to leave? Even the workshop director is gone? Deng Qinghui frowned, "I don't care about anything else, the workshop directors of several workshops, you have to keep it for me." If we didn't have them, how would we still be able to get this factory? ”

Deng Qinghui hung up the phone, and his face became even worse. He drank a large glass of water, took a deep breath, and said:

"Look, Xiao Zhao. I'm not saying that I care about the affairs of the communication room, they are all big men, and they won't be so petty. Mainly, your current order, I want to take it, but I can't get it. I'll tell you the truth, the situation of our military factory is getting worse every year, and the demand for military products is slowly declining. It's the eighties, it's a peaceful time, and there aren't so many battles to be fought. The efficiency of the factory is not good, the wages cannot be paid, and the workers are shouting to leave. ”

"Hey......" Deng Qinghui sighed, "The cadres in the factory, who have the ability and background, have all been transferred through organizational relations. Now the remaining workers are less than half. ”

"But if our machine shop buys your diamonds, will your production line be able to run and pay your wages?" Zhao Yuemin asked.

"Not being able to pay wages is one thing. There is one more important question. Deng Qinghui looked at the overcast sky outside, raised his head and said, "Xiao Zhao, now that the sun is about to set, there are no restaurants around here, so let's just go a little here." ”

"That's for the best."

Deng Qinghui asked the canteen to make a few stir-fried dishes, sauced beef, peanuts, roasted eggplant, two or three dishes, plus a bottle of two pots.

Deng Qinghui filled Zhao Yuemin with it, and the two drank it together.

"Xiao Zhao, I see that you are also in great need of our synthetic diamonds. To tell you the truth, our main problem now is the inaccessibility of transportation. The factory is located in a valley surrounded by bare, with no schools or hospitals. Workers have to travel a long way to get to work. ”

Zhao Yuemin thought to himself, he also changed from a car to a tractor just now, and finally to an ox cart. At this point, it is indeed laborious enough.

"Some dual-income families live in the factory area and have nowhere to go on their days off. The climate in this valley is not good. In addition, in the past few years, the benefits have not been good, many benefits in the factory have been canceled, and the workers are unwilling to stay in this closed valley. ”

Deng Qinghui sighed and said, "Now the situation is getting worse and worse. If the workers are lost like this again, I am afraid that even if there is another opportunity to make money, I Deng Qinghui will not be able to grasp it. ”

"I, Deng Qinghui, entered the factory in 50 years, and I have been working here for 30 years, and I still have a deep affection for this factory. I really don't want to see the factory ruined in my hands......"

The wind from the valley, slamming violently against the window frames, made a "creaking" sound.

Zhao Yuemin looked at the frustrated old factory director, and his mood was also a little heavy.

"Xiao Zhao, you give me an analysis, what should I do?" Deng Qinghui asked.

"If you want me to say, Director Deng, if you want to change the appearance of the factory, you must do one thing." Zhao Yuemin replied.

"Do what?"

"Move!"

"Moving?"

"Yes. The factory is in this valley, the transportation is inconvenient, and the power and water supply are insufficient. Zhao Yuemin said, "Even if foreign businessmen want to come to investigate, they have to go over mountains and mountains, which is very inconvenient." In such a geographical location, it is also inconvenient for you to transport your products, not to mention the living conditions such as hospitals and schools that are needed by the children of dual-income workers. In the fifties and sixties, the situation in the country was still unstable, and it is understandable that your military factories were rooted in this deep valley for strategic purposes. But now, I don't think there's any need to spend it in this deep valley. Zhao Yuemin analyzed.

Deng Qinghui scratched his scalp, rubbed his thighs with both hands and said, "Xiao Zhao, I haven't considered the relocation of the factory site you mentioned. However, the relocation of this factory area consumes manpower and material resources, and it costs a lot of money to build a new factory. The factory doesn't have this condition now, and I can't open my mouth when I apply to my superiors......"

"Director Deng. Only by moving can we solve the problem of product transportation, employee welfare, and so on. Moreover, now is also a good time......" Zhao Yuemin said with a smile.

"Good times?"

"Your superior, the Ministry of Ordnance Industry, may not be unaware of the state of your factory. Recently the Central Reforms, the military-industrial complex is being merged and layoffs. I guess your superiors are also thinking about whether to leave you to fend for yourself or save yourself. But to save it, there must at least be a visible hope...... Director Deng, if you don't take the initiative, I'm afraid that your factory will all be merged into other factories......"

"No, absolutely not." was said by Zhao Yuemin, Deng Qinghui sweated all over. He grabbed Zhao Yuemin's arm and said, "Xiao Zhao, you are the director of the Glorious Red Flag Factory in the province. You help me figure out how to move the factory? ”
