Chapter 57: The Dilemma
That night, Chu Jun locked himself alone in his study at home.
The ashtray was covered with dense cigarette butts, and in the smoky study, Chu Jun was thinking with his eyebrows locked.
During the day today, he went to report to Cheng Huailu, the deputy county magistrate, and asked the county for help by the way, but he returned in vain.
Chu Jun still clearly remembers the scene when he met Cheng Huailu in the morning.
"Director Chu, the county fertilizer factory solved the problem of phosphate fertilizer accident this time, not a credit, just to recover the loss!"
"With a loan of 100,000 yuan, the county really can't help you solve it. The money of the rural credit cooperatives is not blowing in the wind, your factory still has a loan of 120,000 yuan last year has not been settled, and now the production capacity is insufficient, the equipment cannot be mortgaged, and there is no new product to open the market, how dare you let the credit cooperatives grant money to you, just to make up the bonuses for employees instead of for production? ”
"I feel that employee welfare can be temporarily suspended, and ensuring the proper operation of the entire factory is the top priority." Cheng Huailu said very clearly: "At least everyone still has a salary, as long as you get through the difficulties and pay off the previous loan, it is not that you can't take out another loan later." But taking out a loan to solve the salary bonus is not a healthy road after all, otherwise why did the county finally give you the opportunity to export nitrogen fertilizer? Isn't it to stimulate the production volume of your factory in a short period of time, and first raise the sales volume to it to increase gross income! ”
Cheng Huailu's words were sonorous and powerful, and every sentence was a real truth, but like a sledgehammer, it hammered Chu Jun's heart one by one.
Some time ago, Chu Jun's statement to the factory was that this was a production task pressed down by the county.
But only he knew that it was difficult to find Cheng Huailu, the deputy county magistrate, and begged several times, and finally found the area to get the nitrogen fertilizer export index, so as to allow the fertilizer factory to expand production and increase sales.
Although this task is really a bit heavier, under the planned economy, the demand is as much as it can be said, and it would be good if the regional planning commission could give export sales targets.
The task of producing three times the nitrogen fertilizer in a month did put a lot of pressure on the factory, but after Chu Jun came back, he immediately organized three shifts, so that the factory could work hard to produce, and there was no problem in achieving 2.5 times.
As for the remaining gap, through the efforts of the technical department, especially Zhong Bai's efforts, a feasible plan has been come up, as long as the temperature of the low-key water can be reduced, the ammonia consumption can be reduced, and the utilization rate can be improved, then it will not be so difficult to complete this urgent task.
But!
This is just a stopgap measure, which cannot fundamentally change the unfavorable situation of the entire Shanping County fertilizer plant that has been losing money every year in the past three years.
There are no innovative new products, there is no actual move to increase production capacity, hundreds of mouths in the whole factory have to eat every day, and under the pressure of only so many sales orders or even decreasing, the interest on loans of rural credit cooperatives is rising day by day, and even the principal is being returned, it is as strong as Chu Jun is also a little unbearable.
When the finance department sent the financial report for this quarter, Chu Jun had no choice but to go to Cheng Huailu and ask the county to say hello to the rural credit cooperatives and take out another loan, so that he could get through this quarter.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Huailu didn't have any room as soon as he opened his mouth, but told himself directly, do you want money? Then you have to find a way to go in the factory!
Therefore, Chu Jun thought about it, so he could only take the product innovation that he had never considered before into his vision, and called Zhong Bai alone in the afternoon to give him this task.
But Zhongbai is magical, and it was all about solving existing problems before, as for product innovation?
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have not been several major innovations in fertilizer products, and there are only a few kinds of main fertilizers produced by large and small fertilizer factories across the country.
The ability of these middle-level cadres in the factory, Chu Jun is very clear.
Shoucheng can only be regarded as reluctant, the innovation ability is not worth mentioning, not to mention that after the phosphate fertilizer accident, everyone's heart is still panicked, and everyone is afraid of innovation.
In such a difficult situation, there is also a deputy director Zhu Hongjie in the factory leadership team who is eyeing him at any time!
The deputy factory director is not small-minded, Chu Jun is very clear, and the other party also knows that the factory is in financial difficulties, it stands to reason that since Zhu Hongjie has a relationship with the region, it will not be too difficult to go to the region to get some loans.
But Zhu Hongjie just didn't move, and he still had a rhythm of sitting and watching things evolve, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the young deputy factory director was waiting for the bubble to burst, and he would take over the position of factory director after class!
Zhu Hongjie was full of innovation and diligent before, but there was no practical action just by shouting slogans, or putting forward some impossible plans, why spend millions to buy new production lines and the like, and now there is not much money in the account to pay wages and bonuses, and there is still money for you to toss this?
That's why Chu Jun has such a headache, and the county doesn't seem to have any intention of pursuing the phosphate fertilizer accident, and the factory originally had to hold Zhu Hongjie and several section chiefs accountable, but he temporarily suppressed it.
The purpose of this is to let Zhu Hongjie understand his eyes, and he should repay Li to find a way to get a loan to solve the financial problems in the factory, but this kid just didn't move, as if he didn't dare to touch him!
Chu Jun also vaguely felt that Zhu Hongjie must have gotten the news from some source, and he would not be held accountable for this phosphate fertilizer accident, so he had no fear.
Where this news came from, Chu Jun was not clear, but he felt that it should be higher than his source, that is, Cheng Huailu, the deputy county magistrate of Shanping County.
The current predicament seems to be slowly turning into a silent and suffocating deadlock.
Chu Jun looked around and realized that the only thing that still had some vitality and hope was in the new technician Zhong Bai?
"You kid is so smart, you will come to trouble again, I hope you can bring some useful news back to the factory this time when you go to the province......"
Chu Jun sighed heavily, and put a Hongta Mountain cigarette that had burned to the end into the ashtray heavily.
……
But what Chu Jun didn't know was that when he was still worrying about the country and the people for the future of the fertilizer factory, that night, Zhong Bai had just invited Chu Juan to dinner and went straight to the movie theater.
"We're really lucky today, it's a foreign film! You see, Superman! Chu Juan excitedly pointed to the oil painting advertisement hanging outside the county cinema, and said to Zhong Bai with her feet on her feet.
"Superman, this should be the first one, it's okay, you can watch this MD's film." Zhong Bai subconsciously commented.
