Sixty years with spring

CHAPTER XXXIV

The Story of Spring (5)

I held a board meeting in Fuzhou for a day, went to Wuyi Mountain for a day, and then drove to Xiamen.

The director of the Xiamen factory is surnamed Wu, who was originally the director of the technology department of a large company, who is in his fifties this year and is from Fujian. He was not tall, pale, and looked much older than his actual age. The reason is that he had lung disease last year and had surgery, and he doesn't drink or smoke, and he doesn't even allow others to smoke around him, so his mental state is not very good. Because he insisted on working despite illness and outstanding work performance, he was awarded the "May Day Labor Medal" in 1985.

On the way, Manager Liang had already introduced this aspect of Director Wu to Che Hongxuan to avoid him not paying attention.

Che Hongxuan has also heard some stories about Director Wu, and knows that he is an old qualification, so he is very respectful psychologically. Due to physical illness, Director Wu did not attend the factory director's meeting at the beginning of the year, so Che Hongxuan did not meet this respected entrepreneur.

Director Wu asked the driver to arrange for Manager Liang and his party to stay, and after a short rest, he pulled them to the construction site. The construction site is a government building, and the luxury level is among the best in the country.

Director Wu stood in front of the big sign of the project introduction, pointed to the renderings and said: "You see, the center of the front and back of the façade of the whole project is all glass curtain walls, the four corners are stone curtain walls, and the upper part is a silver-gray aluminum curtain wall. Now the support has been basically installed, and the surface material has been opened. The project manager came over in a while, and we put on our hard hats and went in. ”

Manager Liang looked at the renderings for a while, then looked back at the construction site surrounded by safety nets, frowned and asked, "Where does the technical support come from?" Where does the material come from? ”

Director Wu said: "On the other side of the strait, after the shelling stopped, relations were eased, and many compatriots came back to start businesses, and we hired them with a lot of money. ”

Manager Liang had to secretly admire and say with admiration: "It seems that you are walking in front of the company." ”

Director Wu smiled and said, "It is the market that is pushing us." ”

Manager Liang turned his head to Che Hongxuan and said, "It's right to come out and take a look, I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm startled when I see it." ”

Che Hongxuan said with emotion: "Time is not waiting for me, urging people to forge ahead!" ”

Director Wu proudly said: "The materials used in the whole project are all on the other side, but the processing is completely done by ourselves. The most technical content here is the bonding of glass plates, which requires imported structural adhesives, and is processed under specific temperature and humidity conditions, and the curing time is guaranteed to be 21 days after processing. These processes are not available in China at present, and they are all production lines built by ourselves. You see, there is a glass roof at the top of the building, and each piece of glass on it is of different size, and all of them are hyperboloids, and it is very difficult to bend glass and aluminum profiles, and we have built our own production lines. If there is a similar project within the company, we can provide labor services. ”

Manager Liang nodded and said, "We must feed back the technology accumulation to the company in order to promote the technological development of the entire company." ”

Director Wu said: "Two groups of people from the company's technical department and research institute have already come, and Chief Engineer Li arranged for them to follow the construction site throughout the process. Our company also hired two college students to follow up the study on site. ”

Manager Liang said in admiration: "It's amazing. The people from the technical department and the research institute, after the meeting, the board of directors arranged for me to meet. ”

Director Wu nodded and said, "Okay." In addition to meeting these people, I also have an arrangement, there are a few Taiwan businessmen who really want to go to the mainland for development, and I will arrange a time for everyone to sit down, cheer them up, and establish relationships. ”

Manager Liang thought about it and smiled and said, "You must meet each other." ”

Director Wu also smiled and said, "It is necessary to make friends. Yesterday, I had a conversation with Chief Engineer Li, and he said that he would come over in a few days, are you still waiting for him? ”

Manager Liang shook his head lightly and said: "We can't wait, we have to go to Shenzhen, but also to Wuhan, Hefei and Xi'an, there are still a lot of things at home, and if we don't hurry back, we will open the pot." ”

"Okay." Director Wu nodded reluctantly, and then called the project manager to accompany the group to visit the construction site.

During his stay in Xiamen, Director Wu did not accompany him to dinner, and sent an accountant to be responsible for both the settlement and the tour guide.

Two years later, Director Wu died of illness in Xiamen.

On the day he left Xiamen, because he was sorting out the minutes of the board of directors, Assistant Zou didn't eat well in the morning, and asked for a bowl of noodles at the airport, and he repeatedly said to the waiter: "Please bring me a small bowl of noodles." ”

The waiter nodded politely to him with a prescribed smile.

When the strip came up half an hour later, Che Hongxuan smiled when he saw it, and a large bowl came. How big is this bowl? If you fill it with water, you can hold two liters. There is half a catty of noodles in the bowl, not to mention Assistant Zou's small physique, even Che Hongxuan can't eat it.

Assistant Zou looked at the noodles and asked the waiter, "Are you doing this a small bowl?" ”

"Yes sir, that's it."

"How big is your bowl here? Please show me the big bowl! ”

"I don't know, I don't understand what you're saying!" The waiter glared at him and left.

Assistant Zou was not convinced, found the bar, and must ask the family to take out a big bowl, and the service desk told him that there was neither a big nor a small one, and that this was the kind of food he wanted.

Assistant Zou asked, "What should I do if I can't eat so much?" ”

No one paid any attention to him.

Assistant Zou was angry, he plucked up the courage to start eating, kept eating this bowl of noodles, and then said to Che Hongxuan: "Hold me to death, I haven't eaten so much for so many years." ”

Che Hongxuan said: "If you can't eat, forget it!" ”

"That's not good, a grain of grain and a grain of sweat, who wasted the bastard!"

This incident has always remained in Che Hongxuan's memory. In 1990, Assistant Zou died young, and on the way to the funeral, Che Hongxuan couldn't help but burst into tears when he remembered this incident.

There are two factories in Shenzhen, one is an aluminum door and window factory, and an aluminum extrusion factory, because a large company has a deputy manager who is stationed here and has an office, and many large company leaders are frequented, so big and small things have to listen to large companies. Manager Liang and his entourage just came to hold a board of directors to implement the leader's intentions.

At this time, the Shenzhen factory has also begun curtain wall construction, and the director of the door and window factory, Mr. Liu, is the leader of a large company, and is Shi Wenhong's predecessor. Although he is nearly 60 years old, the leader of the large company promised that as long as he was physically able, he could work until he was 70 years old.

Director Liu asked Manager Liang to visit a construction site, pointing to the large steel beam that had just been installed from the first floor to the sixth floor, and said: "This is a steel structure glass curtain wall, and the façade of the entire podium is full of this. ”

Manager Liang asked, "Is this our own design?" ”

Director Liu nodded and said, "The design we did ourselves was reviewed by the Architectural Design Institute." The project can now be said to be the largest in the country, spanning nearly 30 meters, with no auxiliary support in between. ”

Manager Liang nodded silently, and then asked, "Are all curtain wall materials imported?" ”

"Except for the steel beams, all of them are imported," Mr. Liu replied, "not only the materials are imported, but even the key technologies are bought from abroad." The day after tomorrow, I will arrange for a few foreign businessmen to meet with you and ask them to arrange for you to go to Hong Kong to have a look. ”

"Is this convenient?" Manager Liang asked with both surprise and suspicion.

Director Liu smiled and said: "These people are Cantonese, they speak Mandarin better than us, they all came a few years ago, they specialize in mainland business, and they are very willing to associate with you." You don't have to worry about anything, just let me arrange it. ”

Che Hongxuan immediately took over and said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, going out to see and open our eyes will be very beneficial to us." ”

Manager Liang said happily: "Our God of Wealth has spoken, Lao Liu, you can arrange it." ”

Director Liu said with certainty: "No problem, I have already arranged it." ”

Leaving the construction site, several people began to go shopping.

Director Liu said: "Let's take a look at the situation in the special zone, and hope that it will be helpful for you to lead a commodity economy enterprise. Now there are two phenomena here, one is cranes all over the place, and high-rise buildings have popped up inadvertently; The other is that there are many people from all over the country who come here to start a business, some set up stalls and set up a market, and some are listed to start a company. In short, everyone is moving, this is the tide of reform and opening up, it is amazing, so this is a hot land! Time is running out, if we can't fight for a world here, then we will be eliminated here! The slogan here is 'time is money, efficiency is life', which is completely different from our mainland. There is no "big pot rice" here, let alone an iron rice bowl. ”

Manager Liang said: "We still have to go through a while to get to this point, of course, this is sooner or later. ”

Che Hongxuan said: "Shifting the focus of work to economic construction, realizing the four modernizations, and achieving a well-off life is the major policy of the state, and we must keep up!" ”

Director Liu said: "This is by no means a matter of saying a few words. ”

Several people chatted while walking, and in the face of the tide of reform and opening up, they were all fierce.

That night, Che Hongxuan received a call from Manager Shen.

Manager Shen said: "Don't arrange anything tomorrow, Mr. He from Hong Kong will invite a few of you at the Shenzhen Bay Hotel." ”

Che Hongxuan said: "Is it the Hong Kong businessman who imported aluminum profiles for us? ”

"Yes, this person's surname is He, he passed through Luohu today, and he will go to the hotel tomorrow morning to see you."

"Director Liu told us about it."

"Don't go out with Manager Liang and them tomorrow morning, take the ID cards of Manager Liang and Assistant Zou, Mr. He will go to you at nine o'clock, you give him the ID cards of a few of you, and let him go through the formalities." People have a way, and they can take it down on the same day, no later than two or three days, and others are not good! ”

"Thank you so much then!"

"He is going to order some Hong Kong dollars, you take it, and then distribute it to Manager Liang and them after you arrive in Hong Kong."

"This matter is not good, Manager Liang will not agree!"

"What are you doing in Hong Kong if you don't have money? Don't say anything else, everything is up to me! ”

"I'll think about the Hong Kong dollar again. It's not easy to go to Hong Kong to see, why do you need other people's money? ”

"Don't talk too much!"

The next day, Mr. He came to the hotel on time, called Che Hongxuan's room in the lobby, and made an appointment for the two to meet at the tea table in the lobby.

Mr. He was not tall, dark and thin, with a wide forehead and pointed chin, and although he spoke Mandarin very well, he never spoke much.

Mr. He asked for tea, and after seeing Che Hongxuan, he smelled a smell of smoke, so he was very embarrassed and said: "Mr. Che, make a very rude little request, I have a throat disease, and I can't stand the choking ------ cigarettes."

"It's okay, I can stop smoking."

"In the past two years, we have done tens of millions of business, thanks to the care of Mr. Che, you are a big man, it is a great honor to be able to thank you in person today!"

"You're welcome, I didn't do anything."

"No, no, no, I know that all the money was arranged by you, and you are the boss with real power! I hope that I will always have you as a friend, and I will have the opportunity to develop in the mainland in the future, and I need your support even more! ”

"There is no problem with this, if one day you want to go to the Northeast to develop, I can be a guide!"

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Che!"

------

The two chatted happily for more than two hours, and drank together at the Shenzhen Bay Hotel in the evening, and the relationship was very good, which can be said to be love at first sight.

While waiting to go to Hong Kong, Director Liu also specially arranged for Manager Liang and his party to go to Sha Tau Kok and visit Chung Ying Street.

After returning from Hong Kong, Manager Liang and his entourage did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately set off for Zhuhai, and then rushed to Wuhan, Hefei and Xi'an.

When leaving Shenzhen, Che Hongxuan said meaningfully to Manager Liang: "From the cold spring in the northeast to the spring in the south, I feel that not only the temperature is changing, but also the times are changing. We are still working on sliding windows with great fanfare, and we have started to learn curtain walls in Nanjing, and we have already started to build curtain walls in Xiamen and Shenzhen, which is too profound. ”

Manager Liang said: "We must catch up!" The next factory director meeting must be held in the south. ”

Che Hongxuan nodded and said, "It's too deserved." ”
