Accompanied by Cen Youjun, Lin Zhenhua walked into the workshop of the agricultural machinery factory, Cen Youxin followed behind them, looking left and right, but in fact, he couldn't see anything famous.

As Cen Youjun said, the agricultural machinery factory took over a little business today, so it looks quite busy. More than a dozen workers are concentrating on processing parts at their own stations, and there is a person who looks like a master and is instructing back and forth.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. In terms of machining, Lin Zhenhua is definitely an expert, he walks back and forth in the workshop, carefully evaluating the strength of this factory.

Compared with many township enterprises, Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory is relatively well-equipped, there are three lathes in the workshop, two milling machines, as well as a drilling machine, a boring machine, a punching machine, although it looks relatively old, but it should be no problem to process ordinary parts.

The workers in the workshop are still relatively skilled, not new. Especially the master who instructs back and forth, it seems that he should be a senior worker, and he is also a generalist, and he is quite good at guiding various types of work.

"This master's name is Chen Jinfu, who turned out to be a worker in a large factory in Tanzhou, retired and let his children replace him, and returned to Yonghe to farm. Seeing that my factory technology was not good, I volunteered to come and help. The skills of the workers in our factory are all instructed by him. Cen Youjun introduced to Lin Zhenhua, and after that, he shouted to Chen Jinfu: "Master Chen, let me introduce to you, this is my soldier when I was in the army, my name is Lin Zhenhua, and now I am the deputy chief of the technical department of Hanhua Machinery Factory in Jiangnan Province." ”

Chen Jinfu walked over, looked at Lin Zhenhua, and asked suspiciously, "Are you very young?" ”

"Turning 20 this year, right?" Cen Youjun asked Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "It's already over 20, and it's 21 after the New Year." ”

"21 became the deputy section chief? Do you have a way? Chen Jinfu asked unceremoniously.

Cen Youjun was a little embarrassed, but Lin Zhenhua didn't care. For this kind of questioning, people who have a loss in their hearts will naturally feel annoyed and embarrassed, but those who really rely on their ability to win their positions will not mind at all, on the contrary, they will feel a little proud. Lin Zhenhua is exactly like this, he said to Chen Jinfu with a smile: "Master Chen, the platoon commander knows, I came from a working family, my parents died, and I have no background. ”

"Then how can you become a deputy section chief?" Chen Jinfu was surprised.

"I did a technological innovation, and the factory director appreciated it." Lin Zhenhua said.

Chen Jinfu continued to ask: "What kind of innovation? ”

Lin Zhenhua then told Chen Jinfu about making a simple gear hobbing machine, and Chen Jinfu, as a senior technician, has a strong understanding of such things. Although Lin Zhenhua only gestured with his hands and did not show the real thing, Chen Jinfu still heard the whole principle clearly. After hearing this, he nodded again and again: "Yes, it's really good." By the way, you just said that you made the whole machine yourself? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "The first one is made by myself, except for a few castings that I asked the sand turning workshop to help do. However, what our factory really uses in the back are all made by the masters in the workshop. The one I made was too rough for the masters to look down on. ”

Chen Jinfu said: "It is not easy to make rough workmanship, which has to be done by lathe and milling workers, and it takes several years to achieve machining accuracy in the steps of threading and keyway milling." ”

"Yes, yes, I usually like to study, and when I was a child, I also touched the machine tool with my father, and I even guessed it, so I could barely get it out." Lin Zhenhua said.

Chen Jinfu had a smile on his face, he originally thought that Lin Zhenhua was a second-generation official who relied on his background, but now it seems that he is a promising young man who understands technology and is willing to study. For such young people, Chen Jinfu has always liked it very much.

Cen Youjun saw that Chen Jinfu accepted Lin Zhenhua, so he said with a smile: "Master Chen, Xiaolin is here this time to help us see if we can get some new products, if you can, maybe you can find a way out for our agricultural machinery factory." ”

Chen Jinfu was even more interested, and he asked Lin Zhenhua: "Xiaolin, tell me, what do you want to do?" ”

Lin Zhenhua asked: "Master Chen, do you think the simple gear hobbing machine I just talked about has a head?" ”

Chen Jinfu thought for a while, nodded and said: "This thing is a bit tricky, like the kind of big factory I used to be in, it can't be used in a big factory, we have our own gear hobbing machine, which is much better than yours." Some small machine factories may be able to use it. Which factory will encounter the matter of milling gears, milling workers with poor skills, every time the index is finished and then the tool, sometimes it is not right. With this thing of yours, you can save a lot of things. ”

"Master Chen, do you think if our factory produces such machines and then sells them to those small machinery factories, can we make some money?"

Chen Jinfu said: "You can give this a try." I just heard you say this, and I think that with the technology of our factory, it should be able to make it, and I can do a few key pieces myself. However, to sell to those factories, someone has to sell it. ”

Cen Youxin had been staying by the side, listening to them, and now when he heard the word sales, he remembered the topic he had talked about with Lin Zhenhua on the road, and immediately stepped forward and said: "I don't understand the production thing, if I want to sell, I can go and run." ”

"You?" Cen Youjun was stunned for a moment, "Brother Youxin, do you also want to work in our factory?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Platoon commander, I talked to Brother You Xin on the road, and I think he is quite suitable for sales." Your factory doesn't even have a salesman now, how can you not lose money when you run a factory behind closed doors?

Cen Youjun looked at his cousin, thought about it, laughed, and said, "Yes, it wasn't Xiao Lin who reminded me, I really didn't pay attention." When I was a child, we went to sell vegetables on the street, and Brother You Xin sold them faster than me, and now that I think about it, Brother You Xin really has the ability to do business. ”

Lin Zhenhua saw that Cen Youjun was a little introduced, so he said: "Platoon commander, in this case, let's go outside and talk about this matter." ”

Chen Jinfu naturally wouldn't get involved in these things, Lin Zhenhua and the Cen brothers walked out of the workshop together, walked to a pile of iron tools in the grass, and each picked a piece of scrap iron as a stool to sit down. Lin Zhenhua said: "Platoon commander, I have just seen it, the foundation of your factory is not bad, if there are a few marketable products, it should not be a problem to earn tens of thousands of dollars a year." So, I think you'd better take the factory down. ”

Cen Youjun hesitated: "Xiaolin, if the factory can really earn tens of thousands, I don't need to contract it, right?" Wouldn't it be nice if the factory was up and I could get my salary on a monthly basis? After all, I am still a national cadre, and it is not appropriate to contract the factory. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Platoon commander, don't think like that. First of all, I'm helping you find a product, it's a favor. If it weren't for your business, I wouldn't be able to suffer from this. When I turned around and all the money I earned, it was taken away by the commune, and maybe it became the capital for the cadres to eat and drink, and I was not happy to do this kind of thing. ”

Cen Youjun sighed helplessly and said, "Xiaolin, your thinking has always been so extreme. But then again, there is some truth in what you said, some cadres in the commune are really good at eating and drinking, and no matter how big the family business is, they will be poor. ”

"That's it." Lin Zhenhua said, "The second point is that in order for an enterprise to develop, it must have stable operation, and it cannot have too many mothers-in-law, let alone be picked by others after it has developed to a certain extent." You contract the factory, and say that it will be a package for five or ten years, and others cannot interfere, and you have the final say in the factory, so that you can let go of your hands and do it, and no one will crook your mouth. ”

Cen Youxin interjected: "That's the case, Youjun, if it weren't for the factory you contracted, I would help you run sales, and others would not be convinced, and they would say that you use your own relatives at home." If it weren't for me helping you and others helping you, how could you be so dedicated. ”

Cen Youjun hesitated for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. However, Xiaolin, do you really think that I will definitely be able to make money after I contract it? What if I lose money? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Platoon commander, no one can give you a ticket for this kind of thing." I have a few product ideas here, and I will touch them with Master Chen to see how to do it when I get back. If nothing else, it should be more than enough to rely on these products to feed your small factory. Of course, everything is risky, and if something unusual happens, it is possible to lose money. ”

Cen Youjun said: "That's right, I'm just worried about losing money now." It's easy to say that if you lose money, what can I pay for my current family situation? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "It's not so serious, right?" We're starting to do it now, and the worst-case scenario, that is, the product can't be sold, and the materials and man-hours are wasted, which is not worth a few dollars. ”

Cen Youjun said with some embarrassment: "Xiaolin, actually, after I came over at noon today, I went to the deputy secretary in charge of industry in the commune and asked about the contracting. He said that if you want to contract, you can pay a contract fee of 5,000 yuan a year, and I will bear all the expenses in the factory for the rest. I'm worried about what I'm going to do if I can't earn back 5,000 yuan a year. ”

"It costs 5,000 yuan!" Cen Youxin's eyes widened.

"Only 5,000 yuan?" Lin Zhenhua's eyes were also widened.

After the two of them said one sentence separately, they found that their tones and positions were very inconsistent, so they looked at each other.

"Xiaolin, do you think 5,000 yuan is not much?" Cen Youjun asked cautiously.

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "I don't think it's too high." ”

"However, this factory has not been profitable for the past two years." Cen Youxin said, "The commune wants to take money for nothing now?" ”

Cen Youjun turned to Lin Zhenhua's side this time, and he said: "Xiao Lin is right, after all, the factory also has hundreds of thousands of assets, even if it is put in the bank to eat interest, there are thousands of yuan." If I contract it, I don't pay any money, and it's not appropriate. ”

Cen Youxin said hesitantly: "If you have to pay 5,000 yuan a year for the contract, it is really a bit risky. If you lose it, it will not be enough to sell the ancestral house to pay it back. ”

Lin Zhenhua secretly sighed, this is really a penny that is difficult for a hero. After all, those who dare to gamble on their family and surname are a minority, and only among these few people can real entrepreneurs emerge. Some people call entrepreneurship a trend, which is also reasonable, without a bit of risk-taking spirit, it really can't start a business. The Cen brothers are all well-known people, and it is indeed difficult to let them gamble directly.

"Platoon commander, don't do it. You go and contract the factory, and I will pay for the contract. If I lose it, it's mine. If you make ......" Lin Zhenhua originally wanted to say that he only needed to return the contract fee to him, but when he saw Cen Youxin's gaze, he suddenly thought of the argument about "Shengmien, Doumien", so he changed his words: "If you make money, you can give me a commission." ”

Cen Youjun looked at Cen Youxin, Cen Youxin nodded and said, "Youjun, I think Xiaolin's idea is okay." Otherwise, even if the two of you join forces to do it, you contribute, he contributes, of course, he also contributes, doesn't he still have to design products for you. You will each have half of this share. ”

"That's not going to work." Cen Youjun said, and he asked Lin Zhenhua: "Xiaolin, are you really sure?" If you are really sure, then even if I contracted this factory for you, and Youxin and I helped you run and make money, we will have two achievements. ”

"I can't ask for it, I'll help you run the business, and the run will be good from the business." Cen Youxin said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Since the platoon commander said so, let's just leave it like this." The platoon commander went to the contracting factory, and Brother Youxin helped run the business, and I was responsible for paying the contract money and taking risks. In the last shares, I have three shares, the right new brother has two shares, and the platoon commander has five shares. ”

Cen Youjun said: "No, no, no, you paid the money, you should account for the lion's share, you account for sixty percent, and I and Youxin each account for two percent." ”

The final result was that Cen Youjun promised to go to the commune immediately to discuss the contract, and Lin Zhenhua would bear the contract money, and Lin Zhenhua would also bear the loss. If the agricultural machinery factory makes money, Lin Zhenhua will share 50%, Cen Youjun will share 40%, and Cen Youxin will share 10%.

In addition, it is also stipulated that Cen Youxin is responsible for running the business, and he can withdraw 10% of the turnover as business expenses for each completed business. In the initial stage, Cen Youxin's travel expenses and necessary communication expenses were borne by the factory, and they could be reimbursed after Cen Youjun confirmed and signed. From the time he received his first operating expenses, he was responsible for his own travel expenses.

After discussing the matter properly, Cen Youjun immediately went to the commune to meet with the leaders, and in the evening, he brought back a piece of contract agreement.

According to the agreement, Cen Youjun will henceforth have all the decision-making rights of Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory, and pay 5,000 yuan to the commune every year. The first payment is 1,000 yuan, and the balance will be paid at the end of the year.

When Lin Zhenhua came to Yuefeng, he brought 2,000 yuan with him, and in addition to the 500 yuan for Cen Youjun's operation as his wife, there was 1,500 yuan left, and at this time, he just took out 1,000 yuan to hand over to Cen Youjun to pay the down payment.

Although Cen Youjun seemed to be forced by Lin Zhenhua to engage in contracting, after getting the contract agreement in his hand, the look between his eyebrows seemed to be excited. A man always needs to have some ambition, and he is desperate to do it now.
