"Old man, squad leader Liu is here."

Hearing his wife's cry, Zhang Xinhua, who was in a daze under the tree, slowly got up from a small stool.

He patted the dust on his knees and walked towards his home in a daze.

There is nothing but dirt and dirt in the eyes, only rust.

This made his heart very sad.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

He felt sorry for himself.

Back then, Haicheng Machinery Factory was so prosperous.

The number of regular employees exceeded 500, the output value exceeded hundreds of millions of yuan, and it was once one of the top 500 in the country.

Just when everyone was working hard to break into the top 100, the policy changed dramatically.

The planned economy has become a thing of the past, and it will face challenges from all parts of the country in the future.

The top and bottom of Haicheng Machinery Factory are not admitting defeat, and state-owned enterprises are not afraid, but are you afraid that you self-employed will not succeed?

Who knows, one accident after another happened.

The first thing that goes wrong is the raw material.

Earlier rationing relations were completely interrupted, and now everything has to be decided by the market.

Naturally, the price has risen, even several times.

To add insult to injury, the wholesale price of agricultural machinery is declining, and the profit margins of machinery factories have been greatly compressed.

But this is not the end, after the influx of various small factories, the price of agricultural machinery has completely collapsed.

At that time, there were two options, first, to reduce the quality.

As a former military industrialist, Zhang Xinhua will never allow such a thing to happen.

We also insist on using the best materials and continue the previous inspection system.

But as a result, the cost remains high.

The second is to develop new products.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xinhua blamed himself even more.

In 1986, he became the director of the machine factory.

At that time, "Huinong" brand agricultural machinery was in short supply.

You even have to rely on the relationship to get the product.

It is precisely because the money is so easy that the follow-up development is neglected.

and other problems arise, and it is already too late.

At a loss, it was mentioned that there was an improved farm machine in the warehouse.

It wasn't until I took out the rusty machine that it was already out in '83.

"It's all my fault, it's all because I'm too reckless!"

Later, the people of Haicheng all knew that almost all of the 100,000 units they produced in one go were smashed in their hands.

The machinery factory has exhausted the last bit of blood, and it will not be able to return to the sky.

"Director, you can come back, I heard bad news."

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Jin, the squad leader of the former fitter class in the factory, said urgently.

Zhang Xinhua's face turned pale.

But as a peer of Xinhuaxia, after trying his best to go through so many ups and downs, he has already become calm.

"Jinxia, pour you a glass of water for Brother Liu."

"Alas!"

After her daughter Zhang Jinxia answered, she came out of the kitchen with two cups of tea.

Put it on the table, turn around and walk away.

Liu Jin whispered:

"How's Jinxia's matter?"

Zhang Xinhua's face darkened.

"Gone, that beast has a woman out there, and has given birth to a child."

Liu Jin sighed and said:

"What a good girl, it's a pity."

Zhang Jinxia is a famous beauty in Haicheng, and those who have good deeds call her "Begonia Flower". ”

I don't know why, I haven't been pregnant with a child.

In the quarrels again and again, the marriage came to an end.

Zhang Xinhua waved his hand.

"Don't talk about these troubles, what news did you hear and be shocked?"

Liu Jin is good at everything, and he has nothing to say about technology.

It's just a frizzy temper, and now it's going to be 45, and nothing has changed.

I often listen to the wind and rain, and make a lot of jokes.

Liu Jin hurriedly said:

"I heard from my buddies in the government that the factory was auctioned again, and this time it was taken over by a company called Beacon, and it may be inspected in the next few days."

Zhang Xinhua sighed.

"That's a good thing! When the time comes, send a representative to talk to them, and as long as the conditions are right, agree! After so many years, everyone's life is getting poorer and poorer, and the doll's tuition can't be paid. ”

The factory was shut down, and he held his breath.

I thought about taking a sum of money to bring the machinery factory back from the ashes.

Unfortunately, the world is different now.

Automated, intelligent, high-precision, every word requires a lot of money to pave the way.

Even if the factory is bought, it will raise up to 200 million yuan.

If in the early 90s, he could have been in the top 10 in the country.

Now, not even one project is enough, and there is nothing to talk about a comeback.

"We can't hurt the workers in the factory anymore."

Zhang Xinhua muttered secretly.

Liu Jinleng paused.

"Factory director, the shutdown of the machinery factory has nothing to do with you, it is the general environment of the country that has changed. And the workers below, including me, also take it for granted, thinking that with the new type of agricultural machinery, they can defeat all their opponents. I really regret that I shouldn't have asked for all the effort at the workers' congress. Rather, it is to produce a batch and develop a batch. ”

Zhang Xinhua shook his head.

"It's mostly leadership responsibility. In 86, we have such a good situation, if we launch a new type of agricultural machinery, there is no problem at all to enter the top 100. After that, it will not be difficult to increase research efforts and compete for the leader in 93. ”

"Such a good card, I got into this situation, it's really shameless to see Jiangdong's father! After that, I couldn't figure it out, and I felt that I should fight again, so that everyone had to weigh it when they ate meat. I'm the biggest sinner in the machine shop! ”

After the factory was shut down, the livelihood of the workers became a problem.

The laughter is gone, and even the children are laughing and playing.

Looking at it, I was just worried, only at a loss.

Because of the economic pressure, young people in factories have gone out to work. The neighborhood has also become lifeless.

Even if they get together, it's often an old guy who drives west.

The joy of meeting was immediately washed away by sadness.

When it was time to part, the heart-rending pain made Zhang Xinhua feel painful.

"We can't go on like this anymore, otherwise everyone will be dragged to death, go and talk to the people of Beacon, as long as the conditions are right, we are willing to sell the factory!"

Liu Jin was anxious.

"Director, this can't be! How many good people are there in those developers? The house that is compensated for must be of the worst quality, and we can tolerate this, as long as we have a place to live, we don't care. I'm afraid, throw us everywhere, what can I do in the future? ”

Zhang Xinhua was stunned.

"What does Chairman Yang of the trade union have to say?"

Liu Jin sighed.

"Factory director, Chairman Yang will be gone in June, or the memorial service you presided!"

"Hey!"

Zhang Xinhua sighed heavily.

"He's my old squad leader! If you send it to the hospital early, you can still survive, but you don't have the money to drag it! ”

Liu Jin shook his head.

"Factory director, most of the old men and old ladies in the factory now, the youngest is Lao Zhao in the carpentry class, who is 42 years old this year. If we are divided everywhere, how can we take care of it! ”

Zhang Xinhua frowned.

"Talk to those developers, as long as we are put together, this factory can be sold."

But at this moment, an unfamiliar voice came from outside the door.

"What if I invest a sum of money to continue producing?"
