Sixty years with spring

Chapter Ninety-Six

Step 2 of Life's Journey (6)

If it comes to organizing production, Director Xie still has a set. A total of more than 300 kiosks were signed in the three major markets, which were delivered in six batches. Director Xie organized a welding group, an aluminum alloy group, and an electrician group, and asked Captain Yao to organize two decoration groups to start large-scale construction on the vast field of the stadium.

The arc light of the electric welding machine, the scream of the grinding wheel cutting blade, and the sudden sound of the flashlight turning are all in a mess, and the trucks in and out are continuous, and everyone says that the stadium is open.

From the beginning of May to early June, the first batch of 50 kiosks is ready to be shipped to the market for installation.

According to the agreement, Party A should pay 8% of the project price at this time. The remaining 20 percent, of which 5 percent as a quality deposit should be paid for one year - that is, after a winter rainy season, and the remaining 15 percent will be paid after the on-site installation is completed and the owner signs and accepts.

Che Hongxuan remembered that that morning, Director Zhang, who was in charge of the market, brought a travel bag of cash and took a taxi, put the travel bag on Che Hongxuan's desk when he entered the house, picked up Che Hongxuan's towel and said while smiling and wiping his sweat: "Find a number of people, and then give me a receipt, so I can take it back and pay the errand." ”

This director Zhang is also in his thirties, because he drinks beer, his belly is bulging, and the meat on his mouth is drooping. When it was hot, he was uncomfortable, and he was always sweating.

Che Hongxuan smiled and said: "You don't have to count it yourself, they will count it when they get to the bank." ”

"I don't have time to wait for you."

"Don't, we'll go to the Shanshui Hotel for a beer later."

"No, no, no, it's boring."

"Then go eat hot pot?"

"I think it's okay, it's so good. It's just that it's too sinful, and you have to take it off when you go in, and it's hotter than a bathhouse. ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said, "No way, give up your life to accompany the gentleman." Let's go, accompany me to the bank to deposit the money, and then we'll go for a drink. ”

"One more thing, I have a little nanny at home, and his brother is going to come over to work, he is a welder, how about you arrange it?"

"No problem, you explain the salary to others."

"You do a good job, three markets this year, and other districts will also be on it next year, the leaders of the municipal bureau have already expressed their position. If we are successful, the quality of your products is good enough, and there are too many opportunities. ”

"I need more help from you, I'm just not afraid to live more."

"Of course, if you have a job, you are the boss, what is it if you don't work?" After speaking, he waved his hand and smiled, which was an apology for speaking to himself.

That night, more than a dozen large trucks and two cranes were busy from eight o'clock in the evening until the morning to transport all the kiosks to the market.

The stadium cars roared and people were noisy.

Those residents couldn't sleep, and they all got along well with this small business, and everyone knew that it was not easy to get some work, so they endured it.

The next morning, Brother Du rubbed his eyes and walked out, saw Director Xie smiled and said, "It's all my fault, I haven't slept well since you started work until today." ”

Director Xie said politely: "Our leaders have taken this into account, and the Dragon Boat Festival is about to start, and we will send a bag of rice and a bucket of soybean oil to each household, thank you for your understanding." ”

Brother Du smiled and said, "Isn't it Liu Bei who dropped the child - Diao buys people's hearts?" You have to endure it, and you have to endure it if you don't have it! ”

"It's a little bit of the boss's heart."

"Actually, no, everyone will understand."

After the two ended their conversation, Director Xie arranged to clean up the "battlefield" and gave the stadium a clean and neat venue.

But everyone understands that the new batch has already started welding in the workshop, and it will be erected and decorated in a few days, and it doesn't make much sense to sweep the ground.

By September 1993, Che Hongxuan still had two projects under construction, namely a commercial building and a kiosk.

At this time, Che Hongxuan was already famous, and some friends who had a good relationship with the aluminum window company and large companies began to come to the stadium to see him.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the leaders of the aluminum window company certainly know about it.

By this time, the aluminum window company had not been able to sign a few contracts, and the river was declining and facing the danger of bankruptcy.

The extruder of the 701 plant has not been repaired, and no one has considered resuming the production line. Because at this time, whether in the south or the north, the production of aluminum profile enterprises are dozens of production lines, relying on such an old equipment has no way to compete in the market. Because no matter the output or supporting capacity, there is no way to compete with those large manufacturers. Another point is that large companies no longer need any civilian products, and even if they can barely survive, they must be restructured and a large area of personnel will be stripped off on the spot, leaving a simple institution to collect stalls.

Aluminum profiles in the SAR are still in production, and already in two lines. In addition, Li Dayuan also set up a casement window production enterprise with a daily output of more than 1,000 square meters, and exported finished aluminum alloy casement windows to Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

Several joint factories of the aluminum window company have been closed down after they could not continue to operate, and all the cadres and workers who came back were laid off.

In order to face such a situation, the leaders of the aluminum window company are also whimsical and ready to build an enterprise in Hunchun and create a miracle.

In the past two years, the military tasks of large companies have increased dramatically, and many military line backbones who have served in the aluminum window company have been transferred back, especially those workshop directors who are in leading positions, almost all of them have been transferred back, and there are not a few cadres who can take on great responsibilities in the aluminum window company. At this time, someone recommended Che Hongxuan and wanted him to go to other factories to open up territory.

Che Hongxuan was found back in the factory, and he understood what it meant when he was facing layoffs after all the discussions. Now he is faced with two choices, one is to keep his public office and buy and sell without delay; The other simply laid off and devoted himself to his career. On this point, he used to struggle for a long time, watching the situation, listening to the radio, checking the newspapers, and finally researching and determining to keep up with the pace of the times and go out to do it himself. If you fail, you don't go to college and go to the gig market to find a job. With such a mood, Che Hongxuan easily came to the factory to meet the new leaders of the aluminum window company.

The new leader is a female college student under the age of 30, with a delicate face, a plump body, and a sweet voice when dressed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a big star.

It was the first time Che Hongxuan had seen her. To be able to sit in this position at such a young age, of course, it should be very level. Her beautiful and moving image is deeply left in Che Hongxuan's mind.

The new leader politely invited Che Hongxuan to sit down, and said with a diplomatic smile: "The current situation of the aluminum window company is not optimistic, and there are two roads in front of us, one is to expand the territory, and the other is to lay off a large number of cadres and workers. ”

Che Hongxuan said: "This is the country's major policy, and there is no way to do it. If you don't make a trade-off, you don't have a tomorrow, so the long pain is better than the short pain, and we understand it very well. If everyone has no tomorrow, what hope will there be for our nation? ”

"In the end, he is a leading cadre, and he has a very profound understanding of the problem. If we can survive, we can reduce the number of layoffs, and in particular, we can protect some cadres from being laid off. ”

"I don't think there's any point in protecting something that's backward."

"We still have to talk about policy in everything. You are an old leader, I want to ask one thing, what else do you think can make the aluminum window company as prosperous as before? ”

Che Hongxuan shook his head and said with a bitter face: "There is no way, this is the inevitable development of history." An enterprise follows the development of an industry, and with the decline of this industry, it is impossible for an enterprise to stand alone. But now the aluminum door and window industry has not come to the end of the mountain, but the market has changed, from the original seller's market to the buyer's market, our company can not adapt. Neither the rigid system nor the implementable responsibility system can adapt to the changed market conditions. If you can't operate flexibly, you certainly won't be as viable as private companies. To make it clear, the current Party A either asks to go abroad or go to the south for inspection, and even more so to get kickbacks, which we can't handle. Even if we return to the aluminum window company, we can't change the reality. Whether it is our economic life or industrial progress, we need something new, otherwise we have no hope. ”

"Makes sense. We know that you are a talent, and you are also an excellent cadre trained by our company. ”

"I have made a lot of mistakes, especially eating and drinking, not being measured, which has caused a very bad impact on the aluminum window company. I know this, and I will stop working wherever I want to go in the future. ”

The new leader smiled politely and thought about it: "We know that you are doing well outside, and we are afraid of affecting your development, so we have not bothered you." Now there is a situation, we are going to build an aluminum door and window enterprise in Hunchun, and send some cadres who we think should not be laid off, which can be regarded as temporary protection. We want you to take on the big responsibility and build this business, what do you think? ”

Che Hongxuan had been to Hunchun to understand the situation there, and he smiled and said: "The city there is not large, and there are no more big cities around, so building a professional aluminum alloy processing plant there should be carefully considered." ”

"What we have is that it is the core location of Northeast Asia, and there will definitely be great development."

"As far as I know, large companies will no longer increase the foreign investment of aluminum window companies, and in this case, there is no basis for foreign expansion."

"Money is a real headache. We chose you so we can't say that there is no consideration in this regard. We understand that you have a good relationship with the bank and should be able to solve the funding problem through loans. ”

Che Hongxuan shook his head and said categorically: "I can't go to work in other places, and I can't leave my family." ”

The new leader smiled and said: "You know, after all, we are still mainly public ownership, and it is very risky to go to the sea to do business, so you have to think about it." There won't be many opportunities like me talking to you in the future. According to the policy, the talents of cadres at and above the deputy section level who were appointed before 84 years ago should be recorded in the record, and they will only be considered when they are stripped off and laid off. If you go to Hunchun to work, we can keep your deputy director-level treatment. If you don't want to work there anymore, you can come back and even work in a big company. If you can't go this time, then you can only join the laid-off ranks, and we can't protect so many cadres. Of course, if you want to go back to a large company, you should talk to the supervisor as soon as possible. ”

Che Hongxuan was mentally prepared for this incident that would happen sooner or later, he stopped going around in circles, and simply said: "Thank you and Manager Zheng for your concern, to make it clear, I will join the laid-off army." ”

"You won't regret it?"

"No, reform and opening up is a major policy, and I have no worries. Responding to the call to go to the sea to do business, I have no hesitation. ”

The new leader nodded and smiled: "Your theoretical level is very high, you have seen it thoroughly, and you have the courage to face difficulties, I admire you very much." Actually, personally, I very much agree with your choice. I hope you have the courage to work hard and make a career in the tide of commodity economy. Well, now that you've decided, we're not going to hold it anymore. Manager Zheng ordered to see you, you wait a minute, I see that he is not there. ”

The new leader picked up the phone and called, put down the phone after saying a few words, and said, "He's here, you can go." ”

Che Hongxuan came to the manager's office. It's still Manager Liang's original office, and everything is too familiar to him. It's just that time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, things are wrong. He sighed with emotion, and an indescribable bitterness welled up in his heart. Because, there are too many memories of him here, which are unforgettable and lingering.

Manager Zheng is in his fifties, a large man, with a face that resembles a judge, two cunning little eyes, and no lack of weather-beaten crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, all of which write his tired countenance.

Manager Zheng used to work in the building, and he and Che Hongxuan were both on the agency basketball team, so the two knew each other very well, and it was inevitable to make some jokes when they met.

"Come on, come on, Comrade Car." Manager Zheng lazily stood up to greet him and shook hands with Che Hongxuan. This handshake was so simple that Manager Zheng raised his face and looked at the corner of the shed, as if he was sadly recalling something.

Che Hongxuan smiled and said, "Why are you so preoccupied?" ”

Manager Zheng turned around and sat back at the back of the desk, as if he hadn't heard Che Hongxuan's words, sighed, and then looked at Che Hongxuan seriously and said, "It seems that you are good, you are still full of spring like this, very moisturizing." ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said: "People who have no heart and no lungs are like this, they don't know how to worry." ”

Manager Zheng laughed twice and said: "It's a good time for you to enjoy it, but now it's a mess, it's our turn to clean up, God is really unfair." ”

"The more difficult it is, the more forward it is!"

"I won't say these cool things."

"Just kidding, you don't mind."

"Nothing, let's get down to business. How so? You are not an ordinary cadre, and you are very influential in the entire large company, and if you are sent to the laid-off team, I will not be able to explain it. ”

"What's this, it's the general trend."

"I know you very well, it is not easy for a rural child to come to the city in time for the resumption of the college entrance examination, and become a leader at a young age. Really, being able to get this far is that you have caught up with the good times, and you should cherish it. Now that the general climate is like this, it has become a foregone conclusion that a large number of cadres and workers will be laid off. In order to alleviate this contradiction and protect some cadres who have made a difference, we are ready to reorganize several enterprises and raise these people. Of course, this includes you, in order not to be laid off, you can only go to work in other factories for a few years. ”

Che Hongxuan said: "I have made it clear to the new leader that I can be laid off. ”

Manager Zheng was shocked, frowned and asked, "Have you thought about it?" You must not do something that you will regret for the rest of your life as soon as your head is hot. You have a family, you have children, and this is what you will have to face in the future. A department-level cadre has suddenly become self-employed, can all aspects withstand this blow? Don't look at how much money you can earn in front of you, life is long. ”

"I've made up my mind, go down this path."

Manager Zheng shook his head slightly, stared at Che Hongxuan and said, "It's better to go back and think about it, and fully discuss it with your family before making a decision." ”

"There's no need."

"You can't be too capricious, I advise you to think about it. Of course, you have to go to the sea, and we can't help it. You are the first department-level cadre to go to sea within the scope of a large company, and this will cause discussion. Since it has been decided, we will issue you a laid-off certificate and a two-year living allowance in accordance with the policy. ”

"Thank you for your concern."

"The more difficult ones to deal with are the cadres and business backbones. For example, there are more than 100 salesmen now, and all of them who have no performance last year and this year have been laid off. ”

"It's not easy to train a salesperson, and it's normal to have no performance in a short period of time."

"I don't think about it that much. Okay, you do a good job, do a good job and show it to everyone. ”

"Thank you for your encouragement."

The conversation ended quickly, this was Che Hongxuan's last conversation with the leaders of the aluminum window company, which can be regarded as a farewell conversation. Soon, Che Hongxuan got a layoff certificate and a training plan. Every week, I have to participate in the training and teaching organized by large companies to become a real laid-off worker. For this, he even sometimes woke up in his sleep. He asked himself, everything he had worked so hard to win was gone? Did you really become self-employed? Of course, when he is sober, the mood will calm down. Knowing that you have taken the second step of your life journey, there is no way to undo it.
