ps: The three watches have been completed, continue to ask for your support, for the sake of me working so hard, give some motivation! Thanks. ←,
October 28, 12 p.m.
Liu Zelai sat in the customer reception room of the First Xinhua Printing Factory in Hexi Province, his eyes were bloodshot and his mouth had several big bubbles.
This is all caused by lack of sleep and excessive anxiety.
After intense editing, typesetting, and review work, the two new books of Hanmo Book Planning Company have finally completed a series of preliminary work and are ready to be printed.
Because the amount of printing is very huge, Liu Zelai thought about it for a long time, and after discussing with Xiao Fei, he decided to find a large state-owned factory to do it.
Originally, Liu Zelai planned to find the Central Plains Evening News Printing Factory, but later he thought about it, the Evening News Printing Factory not only had outdated equipment, but also undertook very heavy printing tasks, and it was estimated that he would not be able to spare time to take such a large order.
Moreover, the evening newspaper printing house has always printed newspapers, and they are not good at printing books.
Therefore, Liu Zelai found the First Xinhua Printing Factory.
This factory is the largest printing plant in Hexi Province, known as the most advanced equipment, the most powerful, many publishing houses and magazines in Hexi Province are their customers.
Liu Zelai was found through Fu Mingde, editor-in-chief of Hexi Literature and Art Publishing House, as a deputy director of the First Xinhua Printing Factory.
The factory director patted his chest and assured Liu Zelai that he would complete this task on time with absolute quality and quantity.
A printing agreement was signed.
Liu Zelai paid the first deposit in accordance with the agreement.
Originally, it was said that the two books of Hanmo Culture could be printed on the machine one after another on October 26, but Liu Zelai, Ouyang Bojiang, and Li Peng came to the First Xinhua Printing House early in the morning of the 26th.
The first to be printed was a single edition of "Fish Walking on Land".
The book was successfully completed in the morning of the same day, and the work was successfully completed, and there was a problem when it was about to be printed and printed.
The staff of Xinhua Factory informed Liu Zelai. He said that he had received a notice from his superiors to rush to print a batch of important materials. Therefore, the books of Hanmo culture must be put back before they can continue to be printed.
Since it is a task sent down by the superiors. No one can change that, Liu Zelai thought to himself, then wait a minute.
The printing of this batch of important materials was not completed until about 6 o'clock in the morning of 27 July.
Liu Zelai thought to himself, it's our turn this time, right?
He has been in the printing house, he has not moved his nest at all, the book is not on the machine, and he is not ready to go back to rest until it is printed.
This is the first project planned and operated by the company. No matter what, he had to make sure there were no surprises.
But what made Liu Zelai angry was that the accident happened again.
After the workers of the No. 1 Xinhua Printing Factory finished the important work assigned by their superiors, they spontaneously got off work, and not a single worker in the workshop could be found.
He asked the officer on duty.
The other party told him: This group of workers has been working for a day and a night, and they are tired, so they have to take a break; And the successor workers have not yet arrived, so be patient for a while.
Liu Zelai thought to himself, this is the only way. He also knows. The last batch of workers worked for too long, and if they continued to work, they were prone to accidents, and the quality of the books could not be guaranteed.
Wait, he thought.
I waited anxiously for more than an hour. It was hard to wait for the arrival of the workers who took over.
The bad news happened again.
The printing press broke down and needed to be repaired.
This has been a long, long time, until now. It was twelve o'clock in the evening, and he hadn't waited for the news that the machine had been repaired.
What made Liu Zelai most angry was that there was a problem with the machine in the workshop that arranged his company's book printing. You can coordinate to other workshops to print on the machine; He went to coordinate several times, and the other party told him. This is a list that has been arranged, if it is adjusted, it will disrupt the work order in the factory, which is absolutely not good!
Why don't you know how to work around?
How can the mind be so rigid?
Xiao Fei was also very helpless about this situation. He kept in touch with Liu Zelai on the phone at all times.
It is convenient to have a mobile phone, and you can make calls anytime and anywhere. It's just that the signal of the mobile phone is so poor that I have to keep walking back and forth to find the signal.
The voice in the microphone is also intermittent and muffled.
Even so, Xiao Fei was the first to grasp the latest progress of the new book printing work.
Xiao Fei was also in a hurry.
According to the original plan, the two new books were intended to be released in early November, and booksellers everywhere are urging them to ship them as soon as possible!
Xiao Fei was anxious, but he couldn't show it, he had to comfort Liu Zelai: "Brother Zelai, don't worry, since there is an accident, let's face it." ”
"But it couldn't be too late! I just went to the workshop and found that the maintenance personnel had left, but the machine was still not repaired, and I really didn't know what to do. Liu Zelai said distressedly.
Xiao Fei frowned and said, "Brother Zelai, do you have any money on you?" ”
"Yes, there are five or six hundred dollars." Liu Ze said.
"Then you go and see who the factory leader on duty is tonight, stuff him with some money, let him be accommodating, help us transfer a workshop, and see if it works." Xiao Fei said decisively.
"Huh?! Is that appropriate? Liu Zelai was taken aback.
Sending some cigarettes and alcohol, inviting guests to dinner, is still the mainstream bribery method in this era, directly stuffing money, Liu Zelai has really never done it himself.
Moreover, what made him feel aggrieved was that he was obviously a customer, and he was to increase the output value and profits of the other party, and he actually had to bribe them.
This is unreasonable!
"There's no way around it, go ahead and give it a try. Now that you're on someone else's thief ship, you have to think of a way to solve the problem. Xiao Fei said.
Xiao Fei made the call outside the dormitory, it was late at night, the air was cold, but his heart was hot.
He thought, "Do I have to run a printing house myself?"
The investment in setting up a large-scale printing factory is quite large, but the purchase of various machinery and equipment is probably several million yuan. What did Xiao Fei think, how did he feel that it was not worth it.
However, if there is no printing house of its own, it is estimated that there will not be too few dirty things like this in the future.
Moreover, Xiao Fei knows that the profits of the printing factory are actually quite considerable, and the competition in this industry is not fierce.
Not to mention that Xiao Fei was lying on the bed thinking.
Liu Zelai obeyed Xiao Fei's instructions, went directly to the office of the leader on duty at the First Xinhua Printing Factory, gave the other party 300 yuan, and asked to adjust his company's books to other workshops.
After receiving the money, the leader on duty smiled, and his work efficiency suddenly improved a lot, and he personally went to the factory to coordinate the run for Hanmo's books.
At one o'clock in the morning of the 28th, after Liu Zelai paid another 200 yuan for the hard work of the night shift workers, "The Fish Walking on Land" was finally transferred to other workshops for printing. (To be continued......)
