Nandu, at the gate of the Provincial Department of Finance, Lin Zhenhua and Chu Hongyang were being interrogated by the janitor.

"What do you guys do?" The janitor asked majestically, there were still some vestiges of the working class leading everything in those years, and the status of the janitor was not necessarily lower than that of the directors in the agency.

Lin Zhenhua smiled and handed over his work card: "Master, I am the manager of the labor service company of Jiangnan Hanhua Machinery Factory, you see, this is my work card." ”

"Manager? You can be a manager at such a young age? Your work card can't be fake, right? The janitor looked up and down at the work card, as if trying to find a little mistake.

"Uncle, look at it, there is a big seal of our factory on it, this can also be faked? Besides, what am I faking a picture? Lin Zhenhua cried out for injustice, while taking out a big front door cigarette from his pocket and handing one to the janitor's hand.

The janitor took the cigarette and lit it on the lighter that Lin Zhenhua was pressing, and the expression on his face was a little softer: "Okay, what are you doing here in the Finance Department, which department are you looking for?" ”

"Uncle, we are here to contact the business and want to find your administrative office."

"Contact business? What business can you contact us for a labor service company in a machinery factory? "The old janitor seems to have too much energy, and he has to get to the bottom of everything.

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Uncle, this matter is related to you, and this new product we have developed is to reduce the work burden of revolutionary old-timers like you." ”

"Oh, let's hear it."

Lin Zhenhua stretched out his hand, took a drawing from Chu Hongyang's hand, and spread it on the ground to show the janitor: "Uncle, look, we have designed a new type of gate, which is telescopic. In the future, you don't have to work hard to open and close the door back and forth, just press the button in the duty room and the door will open. Press it again and the door will close. ”

"There's such a good thing?" The old man at the gate was really interested, put on reading glasses and looked at Lin Zhenhua's drawings seriously.

What Lin Zhenhua handed to the old man at the doorman was a rendering. Lin Zhenhua's own drawing skills are limited to mechanical drawing, and this vivid rendering of the telescopic door was drawn by Bi Min. Bi Min's surname is introverted, but he has some aura, and he didn't know how to learn painting since he was a child, and he is a painter in a labor service company.

"Uncle, you see, how can a large unit like your Finance Department, especially the gate guarded by revolutionary predecessors like you, uncle, be magnificent, right? You are now a big iron fence gate, and those who know it say that it is the Ministry of Finance, and those who don't know think it is a prison...... Hehe, I thought it was a construction site, which also broke your identity, didn't it? Lin Zhenhua was clever in his words, but he said it too quickly, and he almost said that the gate of the Finance Department was like a prison gate.

"I've seen the gate you painted." The old man patted his thigh and said, "I've seen it on the wall calendar, and the foreigner's unit is one such door." ”

"That's right!" Lin Zhenhua echoed loudly, "Uncle, think about it, we now have to learn from the advanced experience and technology of foreign countries, and units like our Department of Finance often have to receive foreign guests. Let foreign guests see that we have such a high-level telescopic door, can't it also show the superior surname of our socialist system? ”

"You're right, young man. Are you called ......" The old man didn't remember his surname well, but he didn't ask Lin Zhenhua's name at all.

"My name is Lin Zhenhua and I am the manager of the labor service company of Hanhua Machinery Factory. This is Chu Hongyang, the business director of our labor service company. Lin Zhenhua hurriedly pulled Chu Hongyang over and introduced him to the old man.

"Well, well, they're all young and promising." The old man said happily, "Let's go, I'll take you to the administrative office, this matter will be under the care of Director Liu, and I'll take you directly to see them." ”

"Thank you." Lin Zhenhua was so happy that he almost wanted to jump.

Chu Hongyang stood behind him, stretched out a thumbs up to him, and whispered: "Gao, Taijun is really tall." ”

Under the guidance of the old janitor, Lin Zhenhua and Chu Hongyang came to the office of Director Liu of the Administrative Department. Without waiting for Lin Zhenhua to say anything, the old man at the gatekeeper had already spread the drawing on Director Liu's desk, and said what Lin Zhenhua had just said to Director Liu with his eyebrows.

"Master Chen, I understand. However, our gate is not broken yet. Besides, the kind of door they sell, don't we have it in China at all? Director Liu hesitated.

Lin Zhenhua took a step forward, first put a box of big front doors on Director Liu's desk, and then said: "Director Liu, in fact, some units in Nandu have already used a gate like this. ”

"Oh, what unit?"

"Jiangnan Provincial Petrochemical Machinery Factory of our Light Chemical Department system. Their gate is somewhat similar to ours, but technically, it is several generations behind ours. ”

"Petrifier?" Director Liu thought for a while, nodded and said, "When you say this, I have some impressions, it seems that there is such a door." ”

"Director Liu, you see, subordinate enterprises like ours are using this kind of gate, and our provincial department is still using Dashilar gate, isn't it undignified? If you think about it, our director has to wait for the doorman every day when he enters and exits in a car...... That is, our Uncle Chen, to open this big iron fence gate, doesn't this affect the work and mood of the leader? Our Hanhua Industrial Company, is to think of the leadership, anxious to lead the urgency, developed this automatic retractable door, the next step will be to the province's department-level units to launch, the first unit, we found our Department of Finance. Lin Zhenhua said.

Chu Hongyang stood aside, listening to Lin Zhenhua's words, he really felt funny and a little emotional. I have to say that Lin Zhenhua has made many unspoken rules in officialdom clear, and in this era, everyone is still embarrassed to say these things clearly.

"You just said that the gate of the petrochemical machine is backward than yours, and it is several generations behind, is there anything advanced about your gate?" Director Liu asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Of course, our kind of gate, the full name is universal program-controlled automatic retractable door." The gate of the petrochemical machine, to put it bluntly, uses a motor to pull the door to open or close, without any automatic control part. Our door is embedded with an American-made NE555 computer chip, which can control the speed of the door opening and closing, so that the door opening and closing is more stable, rather than opening and closing suddenly. Also, our gate has a remote control function, and the remote control can be used to control the switch within 30 meters, so that even if Uncle Chen is not in the duty room, as long as he is within 30 meters of the gate, he can manage the opening and closing of the gate. In order to avoid accidentally hitting pedestrians or vehicles when the electric gate is opened and closed, our gate is also specially designed with an anti-collision probe, which will automatically stop as long as there is an obstacle in front of it. ”

"Is it so advanced?" Director Liu's eyes also lit up, indeed, if the door of the Finance Department was replaced with such a gate, what a magnificent thing it would be.

"It's just standard." Lin Zhenhua said coaxingly.

Director Liu asked, "What is the standard configuration?" ”

"The standard configuration is the standard configuration, which is what all the doors have. We can also add auxiliary functions to the gate according to the needs of users, for example, you can set the light signal function, delay opening and closing function, password lock function and so on......"

"Wait, Manager Lin, according to what you say, isn't the price of this gate very expensive?" Director Liu asked worriedly.

"It's not expensive, like the width of your Ministry of Finance, the standard price is only 5,000 yuan."

"5,000 pieces!" Director Liu's tongue spit out the elder, "This is too expensive." Our original big iron gate cost less than 100 yuan. ”

"Could this be the same thing?" Lin Zhenhua said, "Director Liu, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, inside our gate, there is a control chip called NE555, which is a computer chip." This is equivalent to saying, we have a computer in the door, you think about it, how much does a computer cost? ”

This is what Lin Zhenhua is talking about, the full name of NE555 is an 8-pin time-based integrated circuit, although several combinators are also integrated inside, but it is too exaggerated to say that it is a computer chip. The price of NE555 in the American market is one or two dollars, but it belongs to the treasure in China. At that time, the country was very short of foreign exchange, and all the products that needed to be imported using foreign exchange were very valuable.

When Lin Zhenhua first negotiated the price with Ford, he attached a clause for Ford to purchase a batch of electronic components for him in the American market, including the very popular Z80 and the chip called NE555. Lin Zhenhua didn't think about using these chips like this at that time, and now they are used for the main purpose of improving the technical content of the product, so that under the guise of high technology, the price is sky-high.

"It's too expensive, and we can't afford the administrative expenses." Director Liu said.

"Xiao Liu, we don't even have 5,000 yuan?" The old janitor interjected, he had been moved by Lin Zhenhua's words, and felt that as a glorious janitor old man, he had to look at such a door in order to be worthy of his identity.

Director Liu looked embarrassed and said, "Master Chen, as you know, the funds of our hall are still relatively tight, 5,000 yuan, I'm afraid the director can't pass it." If it could be a little less, it would be better to say a little. ”

Lin Zhenhua didn't expect that the Provincial Department of Finance would be short of money, and he chose the Department of Finance as the first target customer, because he felt that this unit would not be short of money no matter what. Hearing Director Liu call him poor, Lin Zhenhua hurriedly retracted his words:

"Director Liu, I haven't finished talking about it yet. I mean, the price of this gate is 5,000 yuan, but we can install a set for the Ministry of Finance at the trial price, just recover some material costs, labor costs and technical costs. ”

"Oh?" Director Liu came to the spirit, "What is the trial price you said?" ”

"It's only 3,000 yuan." Lin Zhenhua stretched out three fingers and said solemnly.
