When he got up that morning, Gu Lao Er ate the fritters and soy milk that his daughter-in-law bought on the street as usual, and sat on the table and spread out the day's "Tianjin Daily".

The headline on the front page attracted Gu Laoer's attention, and Gu Laoer's eyes lit up.

The 3rd, 4th, and 7th State Factories Begin Production of Agricultural Machinery.

The content below the title is very short, and Gu Lao Er finished reading it at a few glances, talking about the fact that the state-owned factory stopped the production of rifles and tanks and began to produce agricultural machinery. The newspaper said that farmers who could not buy agricultural machinery from private factories could go to state-owned factories to buy agricultural machinery.

Before Gu Lao Er finished reading the newspaper, he slapped the table excitedly, and ran out of the door.

Gu Laoer's daughter-in-law shouted: "Boss, you don't eat?" ”

Gu Lao Er said loudly: "Go grab the harvester!" It's in the newspaper today, and there must be a lot of people who go to grab the machine, and it's gone if it's late. ”

Gu Laoer's daughter-in-law grabbed the fritters on the table, rushed to Gu Laoer, who was unlocking the bicycle, and stuffed the fritters into Gu Laoer's mouth.

"You eat fritters on the road, you eat them while riding, and if you don't eat breakfast in the morning, you will be weak."

Gu Lao Er opened the car lock, took off the fritters in his mouth, and shouted: "You woman is really troublesome, can it fall down if you don't eat breakfast for a day?" ”

Gu Laoer's daughter-in-law ignored Gu Laoer, turned around and walked back to the villa.

Gu Lao Er had no choice, so he bit the fritters and rode towards the textile factory with one hand. Gu Lao Er is not a day off today, he was supposed to go to work. He rushed to the workshop of the textile factory, wrote a note asking for leave, put it on the desk of the manager, and then rode to the third factory, which produced agricultural machinery.

At this time, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, and the entrance of the factory reception room at the entrance of the third factory was already crowded. Farmers who saw the newspaper were introduced here, waving money to buy agricultural machinery.

When Gu Lao Er saw that scene, he chuckled mentally, why are there so many people in the secret way? You won't be left empty-handed again today, will you?

After a while, the door to the factory reception room opened, and an old man with a gray beard walked out and waved at everyone.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet! Listen to the old man, and say a few words. ”

The customers looked at the old man's aura and knew that this must be the leader of the factory, and they all fell silent.

The old man said: "Our third factory used to produce rifles, and the machine tools in the factory are very accurate, and now there are no problems with the parts used to produce agricultural machinery. After half a month of assembly line transformation, mass production of harvesters has begun yesterday. The output of one of our factories is comparable to that of a private factory with 7,000 employees. ”

"So don't worry, everyone can buy agricultural machinery. So the old man I hope that everyone will not rush to buy it, but let the farmers who are really in dire need of machinery buy it first. Everyone gives full play to public morality and prioritizes. ”

Hearing the old man's words, everyone blinked and gradually quieted down.

In fact, among these people who buy agricultural machinery, there are not many people who really need it urgently. Most of them are preparing for the next year's farming, because they are in a hurry when they see that the agricultural machinery in the market is out of stock.

At this time, I heard the old man say that the state-owned factory has sufficient output, and none of them are so anxious.

Gu Lao Er squeezed in from the crowd and shouted loudly: "Old man, I'm in a hurry, my spring wheat in Liaodong is about to be harvested, and the original harvester is broken two, which is in a hurry." ”

The old man nodded and said, "Okay, count these two harvesters." ”

Gu Lao Er saw that the old man was willing to sell the harvester to him, and his face suddenly smiled. He asked, "Old man, how much is a harvester from this state-owned factory?" ”

The old man stroked his beard and said: "I am afraid that our quality is better than that of private factories, and the production of firearms is delayed, and the price is higher." Our pricing is 87 taels for the 3rd type harvester and 992 for the 4th type harvester! ”

Hearing the old man's offer, the crowd of people buying agricultural machinery looked at each other for a while.

This price is more expensive than the agricultural machinery of private factories. Although the quality of the state-owned factory may be better, after all, this is agricultural machinery, not a complex steam engine, and the quality is not much better. Some people who were not in a hurry to buy it hesitated.

Wang Ye has just promulgated the "Anti-Monopoly Law", and the private enterprises of the Fanjiazhuang Chamber of Commerce are estimated to resume production in a short time. When the time comes, it seems more cost-effective to buy cheap private factory goods.

Gu Lao Er was in a hurry to use it, he quickly took out the banknote from his arms, counted one hundred and fifty taels and said, "I'll buy two three-type machines!" Old leader, the state-owned factory really saved my family's urgency this time! ”

Everyone looked at the happy appearance of the second child, and they all laughed.

The old man looked at the crowd and asked, "Is there anything urgent?" ”

A man about thirty years old stood up and said angrily: "My family's waterwheel in Liaodong has broken down, and this waterwheel can't be bought now, what should I do?" ”

The old man stroked his beard and said, "The cannon foundry has started casting water wheels now, and it has been a matter of the past few days since the start of sales. If you're in a hurry, go to the cannon foundry today and try your luck. ”

The man's face was happy, and he agreed loudly, and ran to the cannon foundry.

On the third day of the seventh lunar month, Hua Kefang and more than a dozen businessmen who produced agricultural machinery stood at the door of the "third state-owned factory", looking at the harvesters being shipped out one after another, and their faces were gloomy.

Hou Dingping said: "Tut, this prince's state-owned factory really doesn't produce weapons. ”

"According to my observations, the machine tool factories where the prince produced rifles, cannons and tanks all stopped production and switched to the production of seeders, harvesters and water wheels. The glass factory stopped some of its production capacity and transferred its manpower to the former abandoned state-owned cement plant to produce cement. ”

"Only the dyes are not temporarily converted to production in the prince's state-owned factory, but the state-owned textile factory has long stockpiled dyes that last for half a year, and it is no problem to support them for a few months. Seeing that there was a shortage of dyes in private textile factories, state-owned textile factories also took the initiative to sell dyes, and it was no problem to support them for two and a half months. ”

Yan Yishan, the owner of Yan's Agricultural Machinery Factory, who had white hair, shook his head and said: "President Hua, we have suffered a lot of losses from stopping production this time, but for the prince, it is just a matter of changing the state-owned factory to production." I'm afraid that our method of forcing the prince to stop production will not work. ”

Sighing, Yan Yishan said: "The Anti-Monopoly Law has been promulgated for half a month, and it will officially take effect in two and a half months. If we don't resume production, I'm afraid that the prince will strictly inspect our enterprise and punish us to bankruptcy. ”

The merchants looked at each other for a while, and they were all a little frightened.

Hua Kefang waved his hand at the businessman beside him and said, "Don't be afraid. The prince's means are all over the world, but our strength is not weak either. Since the prince does not allow us to stop production and impact the market, we will not stop production! ”

"But the prince doesn't give us official status! We won't back down easily. “

Glancing at the members of the Fanjiazhuang Chamber of Commerce, Hua Kefang said loudly:

"Fanjiazhuang's monthly money level is too high, let's transfer the industry!"
