Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Class A Storm in San Francisco

"Click." Meng Xinghua, an engineer who was squatting in the workshop lounge with chopsticks and eating a boxed lunch, put down the boxed lunch by reflexively, jumped up and ran towards the workshop.

"Xiao Zeng, give me the wrench."

A small technician was lying there to check the machine that had problems, and when he heard Meng Xinghua call him, he hurriedly gave him the micro wrench in his hand, "Teacher, I'm afraid this machine won't work, and you have to clean it up." ”

"Hmm. I don't know what's wrong, the machine is broken twice in three days, and after the machinery factory pulls the old machine back, it doesn't work if it is replaced. Meng Xinghua opened the skirt of the machine with some confusion and looked at the dense parts that made people's scalps explode.

This is a confidential instrument for the production of bearings, which has just been successfully developed by the No. 1 Heavy Machinery Factory, and was invented as a supporting equipment for a new type of automobile.

It is precisely because of this new machine that all kinds of precision bearings required by the car can be produced in-house, and not like the first A-type car in the laboratory, many precision parts are imported.

"It's a big trouble this time." Meng Xinghua frowned.

Looking at his teacher frowning, Xiao Zeng was a little puzzled, he was a student who had just graduated from an intermediate technical school, and he originally thought that he could do anything, but when he arrived at the workshop, he found that he didn't know anything. It was Meng Xinghua, who was covered in dirt and engine oil in front of him, who taught him how to serve the machine. And now, this omnipotent teacher in his own eyes has encountered a thorny problem. "Teacher, you are the oldest qualified technician in the factory, can't you solve it?"

"I am an old qualification, I only entered the company in 17 years, I learned some theoretical knowledge in the technical school, and the specific handicraft work was learned from the old backbone of the heavy machinery factory. They are amazing, they learned from a few foreigner masters back then, and then the foreigners followed them in turn, otherwise they wouldn't be able to serve those new machines. ”

Meng Xinghua is indeed an old man, and he feels relieved when he thinks about the company's miraculous development over the years. In 17 years, although the company had a lot of industries, they were all low-tech factories. However, in recent years, the new machines produced by the heavy machinery factory alone have been able to catch up with the ordinary advanced level of foreign countries. However, what puzzled him was why this new machine always had problems, and he took it back for inspection and said that it was not a manufacturing problem.

"Is the machine fixed?" A voice came, Meng Xinghua stuck his head out from under the machine, and saw an engineer dressed in gray khaki cloth carrying a toolbox, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he climbed out to make way for the position, "I've been looking forward to you coming these days." ”

"Well, I heard that there was a problem with a bearing machine in the factory, so I came to take a look." The visitor opened the toolbox, quickly selected a few of the various tools in it, rolled up his sleeves and opened the skirt and drilled under the machine.

"The previous machine broke down and was sent back for repair. The heavy machinery factory was afraid of delaying our production progress, so it replaced it with a new one. As a result, it broke again in less than two days. Meng Xinghua explained on the side.

After a banging sound, the person came out again, took off the gloves, and put the small wrench and screwdriver back in the toolbox: "It's not the problem of this machine, it's the problem of the machine from the previous process." The accuracy of the parts is a little bit worse, resulting in this precision instrument being prone to failure in the case of continuous work. ”

"The last process? That's Xiao Zeng in charge. Meng Xinghua muttered in a low voice, this Xiao Zeng is good at everything, and his learning ability is also very strong, but he has not fully learned the strength of being careful. With a high-precision micrometer, Meng Xinghua walked to a machine in another corner of the workshop and took out a part that had just come out of the discharge port to detect it.

"The dimensional tolerance of this part is actually a level of accuracy." Meng Xinghua couldn't help but gasp, no wonder the machine has always been lying on its stomach these days, it turned out that there was a big problem in the previous process.

There would not have been such a major mistake, but this bearing factory was too short of people, and a lot of skilled workers were transferred to the newly established high-precision processing plant, and newcomers like Xiao Zeng were added. Meng Xinghua, who was busy with all kinds of work alone, had just focused on a few other machines in the past two days, and this machine that Xiao Zeng was in charge of had a big problem.

"I, I ......"

"How many times have I told you, you have also learned in school, meticulousness is the greatest professionalism of our technical people, and you do this, it is a ...... of the company's property"

"Alright, don't discipline him." The visitor smiled and said. He also understands that this would not have happened if it weren't for the fact that too many skilled workers and senior workers were transferred to new high-precision manufacturing plants. Although there are not as many high-level workers in Dongchuan as there is a city in Germany, there are some very skilled technicians among them. Like Meng Xinghua in front of him, in fact, his technical strength is very passable, but he is responsible for too many things, and his thoughts did not react for a while, and he thought of the previous process.

"Boss, me, I am also responsible......"

"Okay, just write an inspection of this matter, and give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, this machine, you and Xiao Zeng are responsible for repairing it. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that there is a problem with the last few small processes, and you can find out if you turn on the machine and check it. ”

"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission."

Until the person left, Xiao Zeng was still stunned, one was for his own mistakes, and the other was for what Teacher Meng called the person just now, "Old, teacher, you, you said he was the boss?" Which boss is it? ”

"You, you, you were touched by the boss for the first time you made a big mistake, and fortunately the boss was reasonable. Which other boss? The owner of everything in this factory, Zhang Shusheng, Boss Zhang. ”

For Zhang Shusheng, these people in Shusheng Company love to affectionately call him the boss, and employees like Meng Xinghua, who have drunk and eaten meat with him, and who have fought in the workshop, admire him even more.

"Old, the boss is really powerful." Xiao Zeng was afraid, and sighed with emotion.

―――――――――――― United States, 15 Broderick Avenue, San Francisco, in San Francisco, if you want to find one place that businessmen most want to go, it is definitely not a casino, nor is it a municipal axe. San Francisco businessmen will tell you that the place they most want to go is 15 Broderick Avenue.

Because there is a Pan American Ken's International Company here.

Here, as long as you are an adventurous businessman, you may be able to get a chance to get rich overnight. A few years ago, a businessman who had sold all his property and car spent all his money here and got a batch of medicines. However, it was he who caused a sensation in the United States half a month later.

He didn't even go out after he bought the medicine, he hired a few bodyguards to stay in the hotel, and people from as far away as Washington came to buy his medicine. In his words: I bought these pills for the price of gold, but I sold them for a lot more than gold.

This was the sensation caused by penicillin when it first appeared in the United States in 1918. In fact, the merchant turned out to be Kenneth's old friend, and when he was seriously ill, he was given two penicillins, and relying on these two miraculous penicillins, the first thing the businessman did after being discharged from the hospital safely was to sell his property and car and use all his savings to buy the legendary merchant's medicine.

In the American West, Kenneth now has a well-known name: the legendary merchant who has shocked the San Francisco market several times a year. In the early years, he brought new soaps, then new lighters, then stockings, shampoos, makeup, face masks...... Later, penicillin, new anesthetics, new analgesics, new preventive drugs, home appliances, motorcycles, and high-end new fashion clothing...... Almost every time, his goods were denigrated and questioned by people with ulterior motives, and even at first, the newspapers took pleasure in making fun of the businessman who constantly made new products.

However, over time, it was discovered that not only his daily necessities, small commodities, chemical products, and new household appliances proved to be extremely market-revolutionary, but even his Western medicines were also proven to be miraculous. Later, even as soon as he announced that he had produced a certain new drug, the political officials of the health department would come to his door as soon as possible and handle the new drug testing for him. Other Western drugs often take more than half a year or even longer to obtain a sales license, and his medicine only needs one to three months to be launched into the market.

Today's 15 Broderick Street, in front of a single high-rise building, is an arrogant and domineering gate, and several black bodyguards like black towers are armed with guns, which are the bodyguards hired by Kenneth to watch the door at a high price. And that's just the first doorman, and according to businessmen who have been lucky enough to go in, it's densely populated with guards, and even an Oriental bodyguard who knows the magic of Chinese kung fu.

"You let me in, I brought a lot of money."

The businessmen of San Francisco know that Pan American Ken's International does not have a direct retail business, and every item they have will bid on every Monday and Wednesday, as long as you have enough money and enough strength, you can monopolize the sales of a certain product in the United States.

"Sorry, sir, today is not the time to bid. If you're sourcing for common goods, you can go through the back door and someone will greet you there. ”

According to Zhang Shusheng's deployment, Pan American KFC International also produces some low-technical difficulty or low-grade chemicals, clothing, and drugs with low technical content. These things are easy to buy, as long as you have money, you can complete the formalities at the back door in ten minutes, and then someone will accompany you to pick up the goods.

For high-end products such as penicillin, bidding is held in the bidding hall every Monday and Wednesday. After all, their production is limited, and only those who can afford to pay a high price can buy the week's volume.

Relative to the needs of the world, Zhang Shusheng would not be able to meet everyone's needs even if he went crazy to expand the manufacturing scale of penicillin and other Western medicines, and he also understood that when the production of a drug could meet the needs of the vast majority of people, its profit margin would no longer be violent. Therefore, he expanded production capacity in an orderly manner while implementing high-price sales. It can be said that the production of Western medicine is Zhang Shusheng's biggest source of profit.

This white man with a chicken's nest and a tattered suit, in the eyes of the bodyguards, is like a central Yang in the countryside, of course, this is just an evaluation in his heart, the service must be thoughtful, the company's regulations are too strict, and no one wants to lose this high-paying job because of a beggar-like person.

"I really have money. You can't do that, and if I come back on Monday, I won't be able to buy anything. What I want is to buy all of your most profitable products here, and now, you know? Seeing that the bodyguard didn't seem to believe him, the white man took out a proof of assets from his bag, "Look, I just sold my farm half a month ago and gave it to those damn consortia to mine coal, and I have money." ”

"What's going on!" A car stopped at the door, the bodyguard recognized it, hurriedly ran to open the door respectfully, and down stepped an Oriental man carrying a briefcase.

"Dear Manager Li......"

Ten minutes later, the middleman with a chicken coop was taken into the businessman's paradise Pan American Ken's International.

"Li, you must know that I have been following you for two or three years, and this time I made up my mind to sell all the land just to make a big deal with you." The white man said nervously while drinking high-end oriental tea. "I'm going to spend all this money on you."

Li Chunyang is a representative of the Shusheng company sent by China, and he is also a knowledgeable old employee, with a good background, and he has won the trust of Zhang Shusheng. Sure enough, the old white man actually brought a cash check for $3 million to do business with the company.

This is the kind of soil and fat that is often said in China, it is really a person who cannot be seen, and a horse cannot be counted. Li Chunyang couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Dear Mr. Dodge, here is our product booklet, you can see which products you are interested in." Li Chunyang knows very well that judging from the current supply strength in China, the supply index of high-end goods in one month is not enough to spend all the money of this nouveau riche. And all he can do is try to recommend more items to him. Judging from the news obtained yesterday, the output of several Western medicines has increased a little, and the transportation of goods has become more convenient.

"No problem, I'll do all of this. But I guess you'll have to come up with more merchandise before you can eat my cash check. "It seems that this Dodge has indeed been following Pan American Ken International for a long time, otherwise he would not have such an understanding of the company's shipments." Lee, you know, those damn conglomerates, bought all my land. If I can't exchange this money for money-making goods, I have nothing. ”

Li Chunyang secretly said in his heart, if he was in China, it was estimated that those landlords would lie down at home and smoke big cigarettes after selling their fields. Previously, the political axe of Dongchuan District also carried out a small-scale land redemption, and those landlords did just that. After getting the money, I first bought a large number of luxury goods from the Shusheng Company, and then began to enjoy it, and slowly spent the huge amount of money cleanly...... "Dear Mr. Dodge, for a big customer like you, I think there is only one thing that meets your requirements." Under Dodge's gaze, Li Chunyang not only did not flinch, but smiled even more, "Please Mr. Dodge come with me, we have just arrived in our reserve warehouse with a commodity that you can return home with satisfaction." ”

Ten minutes later, when Li Chunyang opened the warehouse door and lifted the plastic sheeting covering the goods, Dodge stood there straight for three minutes with his mouth wide open before coming to his senses.

"Dear Li, I don't want any other goods, you can help me calculate these cars, and I can buy as many as I can."

In the warehouse, Dodge was presented with a new car that was streamlined and almost drooling his favorite. For this old car fan, his greatest wish is to buy one for himself first, and then spend all the money to buy this new car as soon as possible and sell it to other rich people.
