160 Spring rains
At the beginning of 1983, Xunyang, spring rain continued.
A dark green Yanjing jeep cut through the shallow stagnant water on the ground, drove into the compound of the Xunyang City Public Security Bureau, and stopped in front of the office building.
In the past six months, Lin Zhenhua has successfully digested the assets of the original Xunzi, and has established a capable production, sales and management team while completing the two tasks of export and domestic market sales. In 82 years, the company's sales profit reached more than 40 million yuan, and the export earned foreign exchange reached more than 20 million US dollars, becoming a rising star in the light industry system of Jiangnan Province.
In this half a year, the original Xunzi, that is, today's Hanhua Industrial Company factory has undergone earth-shaking changes, four staff dormitories have been completed, and the foundations of the other four buildings are being excavated, and it is expected that the construction can be completed before the end of the year. The vegetable fields that Lin Zhenhua saw when he first came to Xunzi no longer exist, but there are still chickens and ducks raised in every household, and Lin Zhenhua is too lazy to cut these capitalist tails.
It turned out that more than ninety percent of the employees in Xunzi had joined the Hanhua Company, and the remaining less than one percent of the employees were successively transferred to other factories after the coordination of the Light Chemical Department, and continued to hold their state-run jobs. Now in the factory area of Hanhua company, there are no outsiders living at all, Xunyang bicycle factory, the once glorious name, is gradually disappearing in the memory of Xunyang people, replaced by another name that is creating a glorious name: Hanhua industry.
Lin Zhenhua had a large amount of money in his hands and his own territory, so he began to carry out capital construction with great fanfare. Batches of new machinery and equipment were shipped to Xunyang from all over the country, and some even came from exotic Germany, Japan, the United States and other places. Lin Zhenhua took advantage of the current period when everyone did not pay attention to the value of real estate, and through the coordination of Xunyang Municipal Axe, he requisitioned nearly 1,000 acres of land from the surrounding farmers and put it into the factory area of Hanhua Company, and more than a dozen workshops are being built on that land to accommodate other production businesses of Hanhua Company.
In 82, there was another very gratifying thing, that is, Yang Xin was finally admitted to the newly established Department of Political Economy of Nandu University as she wished, majoring in business management, and wearing the long-awaited white school emblem on her chest.
Regarding Yang Xin's admission to Nandu University, Lin Zhenhua, Yang Xin and Yang Chunshan were somewhat different in their moods in addition to being happy.
Lin Zhenhua felt very sorry for this, and he always hoped that Yang Xin could be admitted to a better school and go to a big city like Yanjing or Shanghai to open his eyes. In his mind, Nandu is just a medium-sized city in the mainland, and the cultural atmosphere is far inferior to that of Beijing and Shanghai. He felt that the reason why Yang Xin failed to do better in the exam was himself. If he hadn't been busy integrating Xunzi and organizing the five-blade fan outlet in the period before the college entrance examination, then he could have taken more time to guide Yang Xin.
Yang Xin is very satisfied with her admission to Nandu University, which is also her ideal goal. She didn't want to go to Yanjing or Shanghai to study. She has already been to Yanjing, and there is no mystery about the big city. She wanted to stay in Nandu so that she could meet Lin Zhenhua often. A little sister warned her that her husband's husband is a husband within a zhang, and if he is too far away, it will be difficult to say.
Yang Xin said that he was 100 relieved of Lin Zhenhua, but he muttered a little in his heart. This fiancΓ© of his own is too good, and wherever he goes, he will provoke groups of girls, if he is not around, he will be in trouble.
One of Yang Xin's rivals has always been worried about is Shen Jiale, a female welder at the petrochemical machinery factory, but she is no longer worried. In July, she accompanied Lin Zhenhua to the petrochemical machine to attend Shen Jiale's wedding, and gave Shen Jiale a five-blade fan for export. At the wedding, Lin Zhenhua kept asking her a strange question: Who does Jin Jian, the groom's official and assistant to the director of the petrochemical machine, look like.
She looked at it for a long time, but she didn't see which person she was familiar with, he combed his hair, wore myopic glasses, and looked polite, which was completely different from the workers of the Hanhua factory.
"Who do you think he looks like?" Yang Xin couldn't help but ask Lin Zhenhua.
"Uh, don't you think he's a little like me?" Lin Zhenhua reminded that in fact, he didn't see what Jin Jianbo looked like himself.
Yang Xin shook his head: "What is he like you?" You're much more handsome than him. The last sentence she said in a low voice, for fear that the bride would hear it.
"Really?" Lin Zhenhua asked.
"Of course it's true, what kind of eyes are you, you can't have glaucoma, right? My dad had glaucoma, and he said that it was easy to get glaucoma by burning electric welding. Yang Xin said very seriously.
"Oh, I see." Lin Zhenhua nodded, it seems that the girl of the Shen family also has glaucoma, how can she think that her husband looks like Lin Zhenhua?
Yang Chunshan and his wife are naturally very happy that their daughter was admitted to university, but in addition to being happy, they also have some regrets, that is, in the next four years, their daughter and Lin Zhenhua don't want to get married.
To talk about the marriage between Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin, it can be described as twists and turns. At the beginning, Lin Zhenhua was less than 20 years old and could not get married. When Lin Zhenhua turned 20 years old, the marriage law was changed again, stipulating that the legal age of marriage for male surnames is 22 years old. Next, Yang Xin was admitted to university, according to the regulations, college students cannot get married during school, but this delay will have to wait until four years later. Whose daughter will delay until she is twenty-three or fourteen years old before getting married?
Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin both understood the thoughts of the old people, but they just laughed it off. Getting married is really not a rush for them, because there are so many interesting things to pursue in their lives.
"Manager Lin, what a distinguished guest. It's been a long time, what wind blew you here today? β
When Lin Zhenhua and Lang Dong walked into Han Tao's office, Han Tao greeted them happily.
"How dare I call myself a distinguished guest, I'm so poor now that I'm uncovering the pot, and I'm here to trouble Minister Han today." Lin Zhenhua pretended to be pitiful and said to Han Tao.
"It can't be." Han Tao said, "Now in the entire Xunyang City, who doesn't know that Manager Lin Da has the skills to the sky." We, the Public Security Bureau, have received instructions from our superiors to make every effort to ensure that your production activities are not affected. I'm surprised, you are a large collective enterprise, and you can actually alarm the leaders of our provincial public security department? β
Lin Zhenhua explained: "This matter is mainly because we undertook the export task, which was directly coordinated by the Provincial Economic Commission, and the Public Security Department also cooperated with the work of the Provincial Economic Commission. β
Han Tao said: "I understand when you say this." Since you, Manager Lin, have such a big matter, what else will you have to trouble me, a small deputy director? β
Lin Zhenhua raised his hands high and said, "I surrender, can't I surrender?" If Brother Han thinks that something is wrong with me, even if he criticizes, don't scold me with a big manager. β
Han Tao laughed, beckoned Lin Zhenhua and Lang Dong to sit down, and then said, "You Xiaolin, I knew that you were going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, come to me today, is there anything wrong?" β
Lin Zhenhua said: "This is a long story. Last year, we acquired all the assets of Xunzi, including 20,000 bicycles in stock. 20,000 cars are pressing 2 million liquidity. If I can't sell these cars, the whole company will collapse. β
Han Tao said: "This is strange, you want to sell bicycles, how did you sell them to me?" I'm not a sales company. β
Lin Zhenhua glanced at Lang Dong, and Lang Dong stepped forward and said: "Director Han, that's the case, we heard that our grassroots police comrades lack means of transportation, so we specially modified a batch of police bicycles to support the work of the public security organs. In terms of price, we only charge a cost price. β
Han Tao shook his head and said: "Xiaolin, Director Lang, I can understand your feelings, but, with all due respect, I heard that the bicycles in your factory are due to quality problems, which have led to serious unsalable, which is why there is a loss." Our friends are friends, and you can't use inferior products to harm our grassroots police. β
Lin Zhenhua asked, "Brother Han, do you think I'm such a person?" β
Han Tao looked at him and said with a smile: "Not in the past, it's hard to say now." β
"Brother Han, you hurt your self-esteem too much." Lin Zhenhua shouted.
The three of them laughed, and Han Tao said: "Xiaolin, let's be serious, what's going on with your bicycle, you have to tell me the truth." If you can convince me, then it is still possible for our grassroots police stations in the entire Xunyang area to purchase hundreds of your bicycles. When I was at the police training center, I got to know a lot of comrades from the regional public security bureaus, and it is possible to ask them to help you solve some problems. β
Lin Zhenhua said: "Brother Han, don't worry, I can't cheat you." The situation of our bikes, you can understand it after listening to my explanation. β
It turned out that the unsalable bicycles of Xunyang Bicycle Factory were indeed due to quality problems.
The bicycle has a part called the fork, which is the fork-shaped frame that connects the faucet to the front wheel. The bicycle fork is made of steel pipe after cold rolling to form a cone, and at the very front end of the cone, where the front wheel is connected, there is a splice larger than the taper tube, and the front wheel is fixed on this splinter. The splice is welded to the fork tube by electric welding, and the problem lies in this welding point.
When the bicycle is in use, the bumps on the front wheel are the most powerful, and the impact force generated by the bumps directly acts on the tabs of the fork. Bikes are not much of a problem if they are mainly driven on city roads. But if it is used in rural areas, then the bumps in the ditch can easily break the weld between the fork and the splice.
Xunzi bicycles have always had the defect that the fork splice weld is easy to break. In the era of material shortage, people can't buy other brands of bicycles, so knowing that this "Flying Sword" brand bicycle has this defect, they have to accept it. When the solder joint is broken during use, the user can only go to the repair shop to re-weld, and this kind of thing has happened countless times.
With the gradual improvement of the market supply situation, people have more choices, and the sales of "Feijian" brand bicycles have begun to decline. Coupled with the lack of active surname in the operation of Xunyang Bicycle Factory, the product model has remained unchanged for decades, and it still maintains the stupid black and coarse appearance of the past, which makes it more difficult for consumers to accept, until the product is seriously unsalable, which completely drags down the old factory.
"Brother Han, the reason why our Feijian brand bicycles are unsalable is like this." Lin Zhenhua said.
