Hou Dalin and Qin Ming completely collapsed this time. Since this day, people have been coming to Hou Dalin, hoping that they will release the technology of five-axis linkage machine tools as soon as possible. The worst thing is to produce this kind of machine tool first, and as for other issues, everything can be discussed.

Hou Dalin explained to the people who came to him every time that Lihua's machine tool only had a prototype, and there was still a long way to go before it was really put into production.

He is now fighting against the joint venture factory they are affiliated with, and he believes that no matter who becomes the leader of the joint venture factory, he will definitely not have to face many more problems himself.

Hou Dalin guessed correctly at all, in the past month, Qin Ming's life can be said to be two heavens of ice and fire. On the one hand, the superiors put pressure on him to ask the factory to come up with the kind of five-axis linkage machine tool they advertised as soon as possible. It's not that the superiors don't know that the production technology of this machine tool is in the hands of the Lihua Machine Tool Factory controlled by Hou Dalin, but in terms of procedure, they can't directly find Lihua, because Lihua is affiliated with the name of the joint venture factory. Anyone who crossed the level to find Hou Dalin was directly pushed to the side of the joint venture factory.

But what about Qin Ming, he really has no way to take this Hou Dalin, those routines and methods that they were once familiar with are now used on Hou Dalin's body, and they are basically invalid. For one, he is not a public official, and there is no way to give him orders in the form of an executive order.

Second, there is also a clear legal boundary between Lihua and the joint venture factory, although Lihua is nominally under the jurisdiction of the joint venture factory. You can come to the joint venture factory without the right to operate Lihua, and secondly, Lihua has its own independent account. In this way, whether it is personnel or finance, the joint venture has no way to give Lihua a fatal blow.

Hou Dalin can wait, whether it is his machine tool factory or other factories, almost all of today's business is oriented to overseas markets, and can provide a large amount of taxes and foreign exchange to the local government every month. Not to mention anything else, just from this aspect, what kind of off-the-board tricks the joint venture wants to use to deal with Lihua, then there is basically no need to think about it.

On the second day after Qin Ming became the factory director, he found that the household machine tools that were once easy to sell suddenly could not be sold. After waiting for this month, he suddenly received a large number of returns. This shocked the entire Jingerji.

Although they also signed a contract with the other party, if people want to return the goods, they can always find a reason. Just a warranty clause can bring the Beijing Er Machine back to life. In the past, the equipment sold by Jinger Machine was contracted by DL in terms of warranty. At the beginning, in order to facilitate Hou Zhen's management, to put it bluntly, he could intercept some more foreign exchange, and the agreement signed between the two originally left a lot of loopholes.

At this time, Hou Dalin took advantage of these loopholes and directly overturned the service contract between the two. If you want them to be responsible for the warranty, you can pay the previous fee first!

At the same time, now Lihua machine tool factory has also been put into production, in order to train the team, but also in order to create profits as soon as possible, here is also the production of some commonly used general machine tools and household machine tools. DL, which has a sales network in the United States, not only takes over the relatively niche market of household machine tools, but also obtains some orders for some general-purpose machine tools.

Although the profit of this machine tool is very thin, plus the cost of sea freight, it is basically not a loss or a profit. But this is already very good, and the loss cannot only look at the numbers on the books. As long as a factory can guarantee the operating rate, then it can guarantee the fixed expenses of workers' wages, water and electricity losses, etc. Not to mention cash revenues such as export subsidies under the current policy.

In short, although the factory on Lihua's side did not make much money, the workers were still very motivated. After all, these things are used for export, which is a very good stimulus to the workers' enthusiasm for labor.

On the side of Jingerji, since losing this market, their production has come to a halt in an instant. The household machine tools they produce can only be sold overseas, and this thing should not be expected to have any market in China. But can production be stopped?

When production stops, what happens to the workers? Isn't it possible to take all of them on vacation? Even if it's a holiday, can the workers' wages not be paid? How is that possible! Not only can it not be stopped in this era, but it is also a factory in the future that if it wants to continue for a long time, it cannot stop paying wages when there is no work!

This is why many machining companies would rather do one thing and lose one piece, they still have to continue to do it.

Hou Dalin knew everything about the situation of Jing Erji at this time, but he definitely didn't want to help now. He doesn't owe Jing Erji, so why should he help him when he has a problem?

In this way, in less than half a month, Hou Zhen came to the door again.

"Director Hou, why do you have time to come to me today? Is the review of the superiors over? When Hou Dalin saw that Hou Zhen was coming to find him, he didn't have to think about it, he knew what he was here for.

"Mr. Hou, my review has ended. During my tenure as the director of the Beijing Second Machine, everything was collectively decided through the factory committee meeting. There is neither arbitrariness nor self-enrichment, what is there to censor! When Hou Zhen said this, his expression was still very relaxed.

He looked at Hou Dalin's face and saw that he was still quite happy today, so he coughed lightly and prepared to speak.

"Director Hou, you're not here to be a lobbyist today, are you? I can tell you, if that is the case, I advise you not to open your mouth. I know what you're going to say, you must want to say, let me not look at your face, don't look at what Qin Ming did, even for the thousands of employees of Beijing Erji, I have to help a group of Beijing Erji to get through this difficulty, right? ”

Hou Dalin said his words in advance before Hou Zhen could speak.

"Well, since you know all about it, I won't repeat it. But I still want to say one thing, Mr. Hou, we are all leading cadres, no matter how much we fight with each other, we can't let the workers become victims. I heard about the five-axis machine tool, yes, this matter is indeed too ugly for Qin Ming, but he is ugly, let's report his problem to the superiors, there is no need to let the workers of the entire Beijing Second Machine accompany him to suffer together! ”

"Hou Zhen, I don't agree with your point of view." Hou Dalin's expression became serious at this time, he lit a cigarette for himself, and said: "I have heard such a sentence, when it comes to avalanches, no snowflake is innocent.

Now that the Beijing Second Machine has become what it is now, is it all Qin Ming's responsibility? Including you Hou Zhen, don't you have responsibility? Aren't the factory committees of Beijing Erji Machinery responsible? The employees up and down the Beijing II machine are not responsible?

However, you are all responsible, from you to Qin Ming, to the ordinary workers in the Beijing Second Machine, you all think that everything you have gained is what you deserve. When the factory has money, it belongs to all the workers, it belongs to the factory. But you just haven't thought about where you got this money!

I'll tell you now, Hou Zhen, this money belongs to the state! The state sold me 45 percent of the shares of Beijing No. 2 Machinery Co., Ltd., and in exchange for the foreign exchange, was it used to improve your housing? Look at how many family buildings did you build last year? I'm afraid that even the uncle who watched the gate has now lived in the new building! As far as this matter is concerned, do you dare to say that you are not responsible for the top and bottom of the Beijing 2 plane?

Besides, your new CNC machine tool, yes, the main problem of this matter is that Qin Ming chose the wrong direction. But have you ever thought about it, why has it become such a chicken scene now? How much money do you invest in R&D? How much of this money actually goes to the project? Don't tell me, the new R&D building built by your factory is not using the funds here!

Hou Zhen, if you want me to say, the superiors have punished you lightly for dismissal, and in the past year, you have not been able to adhere to your own views on the management of Beijing Erji, and you cannot develop scientifically, and you are not qualified as the factory director! ”

Hou Dalin's words did not give Hou Zhen face, so much so that Hou Zhen was scolded by Hou Dalin, and the cigarette in his hand burned his hands, but he didn't notice it.

He really said as Hou Dalin said, he consciously that as long as the facts were discussed by the comrades and the decision was made collectively, it would be conducive to the development of the factory. At least it was in line with the procedure, and he could see the review of him by his superiors this time, although the superiors were not satisfied with him, but they also had no other way to treat him.

Today's procedure is like this, he follows the procedure step by step, and always does not make mistakes.

But after listening to Hou Dalin's words today, he suddenly felt that he had done something wrong, and it was outrageously wrong. Organizationally, let him be the factory director, not to let him be a good gentleman step by step, but to let him boldly lead the factory forward. In this process, you must not be afraid of making mistakes, let alone offending people.

In the first two years, when the factory had a large amount of money, it was not necessary to think about improving the living environment of the workers first, but to support Hou Dalin's research and development plan at that time. If they had done so then, would they still be like this now?

"Mr. Hou, there are thousands of mistakes, all of which are the fault of our factory leaders. For the current Jinger machine, you really can't see death without saving! That's the livelihood of thousands of workers and tens of thousands of people! Hou Zhen was really a little scared at this time, before he felt that with his friendship with Hou Dalin, with his understanding of Hou Dalin, at this time he only asked for Hou Dalin, five-axis machine tools don't think about it, at least the home machine tool business to help them recover can still do.

But now that I look at it, where does Hou Dalin hate them, the factory leaders, and he and all the employees of Beijing Second Machine hate them together.

Hou Dalin listened to Hou Zhen's words, but still shook his head insistently, it was impossible for him to make another move. No one is God, and it is impossible for you to ask someone once and they will help you once.

"Hou Zhen, the matter of household machine tools, the original after-sales service business, was originally a simple agreement between the two of us. Now that we have been holding on to this verbal agreement for so long, it is time to formally talk about it. I can promise you this, you can send someone to talk.

However, I still advise you to be mentally prepared, because this market will not wait for you, now overseas, this small household machine tool has begun to be updated, and new manufacturers are already occupying this market. ”

"What?" When Hou Zhen heard the news, he heard bad news! I couldn't believe it.

"Hou Zhen, you're too naïve, don't you still want users to wait for you? This is not a high-tech thing, as soon as the supply is cut off here, people will immediately find a new manufacturer for production. ”

"But, but we have a special situation, the other party can't not talk about this little bit of affection, right?"

"Hou Zhen, what is this called! Are you a child? Do you really think that those capitalists in the international market are those brother units in China? In the international market, how can anyone intercede with you, and it would be good if people didn't ask you for compensation. Hou Dalin ruthlessly sprinkled another handful of salt on Hou Zhen's wound.

"Mr. Hou, you have experience in business management, can you show the way to Jingerji? What exactly do we have to do to get through this? Hou Zhen no longer has any illusions at this time, and after he finished talking to Hou Dalin today, he became even more pessimistic about the prospects! He even had the feeling that Jing Erji might become the first state-owned enterprise to go bankrupt! This was something he had never dared to imagine before.

"God help the self-helpers, I think you should break the kettle, concentrate funds, and first finish the CNC machine tools that you are about to go off the assembly line, at least to the extent that they can successfully go off the production line. With your influence in the country, it should be no problem to get enough production orders.

The second is to use this fund, bold innovation, choose a suitable model, continue to tackle key problems, and form an effective product echelon, only in this way can you resist foreign attacks.

Don't look at the price of many similar machine tools on the market now, this price, we can't make money, is it difficult for foreign factories to make money? The price war is just a means for them, and if they are allowed to do it all the time, they can't afford it.

Besides, even if they are really against consumption, they can't be your opponents. If you have the ability, everyone sells it at the price of cabbage, so the last one to be wiped out is not our country? This is the meat rotting in our pot, and the country and the same industry can only reward us, not criticize. ”

"Mr. Hou, but what we are most worried about now is the available funds! The state has made it clear that it is impossible to provide us with new R&D funds, and we have to figure out everything ourselves. Hou Zhen said with a bitter face.

"Beijing Erji is now a joint venture factory, of course, it has to be responsible for its own profits and losses. When you had money, the state didn't take it from you, and now that you are short of money, of course you have to figure it out for yourself. Could it be that the loss is the country's, and the earning is your own? How can there be such a good thing in the world? Hou Dalin is very supportive of this attitude of his superiors.

However, this is very difficult to accept for these factory leaders who have just come into contact with the market economy. When they spend money, they don't feel that they are taking advantage of the state, but feel that it is the money in their factory, and no one can control how they want to spend it. But once he ran out of money, he stretched out his hand to ask for it, and he asked for it with confidence, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. Because the factory belongs to the state, and the workers are also the state.

Such a double standard is the mainstream understanding of this era. It's as if that's how the world should be.

"But what else can we do to get money?" Hou Zhen said helplessly.

"Why can't I do it? Didn't you build so many buildings for the families of employees? This family building has made countless units envious, jealous and hateful. If you take it out and sell it to other units at this time, I think you can still raise a lot of money. It's even a lot more than you ever spent. ”

Hou Dalin gave Hou Zhen a bad idea, but this idea can't be said to be a bad idea. If they really have the courage, they can still bring Kyoji back to life.

But Hou Dalin believes that they do not have the courage to do so. Even if the factory leaders had, those workers would not agree.

The road pointed out to Hou Zhen that whether it can be done or not depends on the ability and courage of their factory leaders and factory employees.

Hou Zhen knew better than anyone else that it was impossible for them to do it.

When Hou Zhen walked out of Hou Dalin's office a little dejected, he suddenly remembered how high-spirited he used to be when he was here. Who would have thought that in just two years of hard work, he Hou Zhen would become like this now.

But fortunately, Hou Zhen is now the deputy director of Beijing Second Machine, and he is also in charge of production work, and it is no longer something he should worry about about how to save the big factory of Beijing Second Machine.

When he returned to Beijing Erji, Qin Ming invited Hou Zhen to his office as soon as possible.

"Director Hou, have you seen Hou Dalin? What did he say? When will the export of our household machine tools be resumed? Qin Ming is really anxious now, and his superiors can't wait to call him three times a day, all to inquire about this matter.

"I met Hou Dalin, what he said, let us talk to each other ourselves. Regarding after-sales, let's talk about it ourselves. At this time, Hou Zhen just conveyed Hou Dalin's last attitude to Qin Ming, and he just listened to how to implement it.

"Let's talk about it ourselves? What do you mean? If you go to talk to him today, aren't we going to talk to them? Who else do you want to talk to? Qin Ming's eyes widened, with an inexplicable expression.

"Director Qin, you should also know that I went to find Hou Dalin, who lives in the 1978 Building, not Huang Dafa, who is in charge of the DL group in the United States."

When Qin Ming heard this, he jumped up all of a sudden, and this is the reason, can you Hou Dalin still have a little bit of talent? Don't you even have the audacity to admit your true identity?

But in the face of Hou Dalin's recklessness, these people really have no way at all. No matter how big the face of Jing Erji is, it is impossible for the state to force Hou Dalin and Huang Dafa to merge into one. If you really do that, you will really kill the chicken and take the eggs. Which one is heavier and which one is lighter, but the superiors can carry it better than them.
