Chapter Twenty-Three: The Beginning of Everything Is Difficult Three
Wang Weidong took a train overnight to Mushi to buy back 10 electric soldering irons and 10 multimeters, which were all the production tools of the soon-to-be-established radio factory.
After coming back, Wang Weidong handed over the invoice to Fang Huawen, the deputy director of the factory, to sign it, and then took it to the accounting department for reimbursement.
The factory provided more than a dozen desks, and this was the workbench of the radio factory.
Wang Weidong took seven other people to clean for a day, and due to disability, there were only three main people who worked: Wang Weidong, Bao Qihang, who was colorblind, and Chen Jihong, a mute girl.
On the day of the establishment of the factory, there were no firecrackers and flowers, and the director of the stone factory and the deputy director of the factory rushed to the factory to congratulate them.
The presence of two directors of such a small and large collective factory shows that the importance of the factory is not the importance of the factory, but the importance of the disabled and the employment of young people.
"When Wang Weidong came to my office that day to report to me, he said that the radio did not have a brand name, and asked me to name the brand of the radio. The older generation of workers built a state-owned factory of tens of thousands of people here from scratch, and now it's your turn! Director Shi said.
The dozen or so people below applauded. But because there were too few people, the applause was not enthusiastic.
Deputy Director Fang also said a few words.
Wang Weidong stood up and said: "Next, I would like to invite the families of our radio factory workers to speak on behalf of Comrade Fuguirong, a national model worker!" ”
Fuguirong wore a brand-new work uniform today, and her son Liu Jianguo finally stopped staying at home and became a self-reliant person.
"When I was young, all I wanted was to listen to the party wholeheartedly, and do whatever the party tells me to do! Work hard, work hard! When we were pregnant with our family, the country was very difficult and hungry, but the more difficult the country was, the more time it was for our workers to selflessly dedicate! I gritted my teeth and did not rest to participate in the factory conference battle, when I gave birth to Liu Jianguo, he was less than three pounds, one leg was still disabled, thanks to the national factory did not forget us, and provided our family Jianguo with this opportunity to continue to contribute to the country! Fuguirong said excitedly.
Fuguirong spoke very emotionally, other people's eyes were a little moist, the mute girl Chen Jihong didn't know what Fuguirong was talking about, but when she saw others crying, she also cried, and as a result, she cried the most.
Director Shi wiped his eyes and said with emotion: "I listened to Comrade Fuguirong's speech just now, I was very touched and educated!" You young people should learn from the old comrades and work hard, and the factory will fully support you! ”
Since two leaders attended the inauguration ceremony of the factory, the front page of the factory newspaper the next day was the news of the establishment of the entrepreneurial radio factory.
The factory was set up, but the eight people suddenly became idlers, and there was nothing.
The Fifth Machinery Department is responsible for the country's main weapons production, while the electronics industry is in charge of the Fourth Machinery Department.
Xiangyang Chemical Plant, a newly established small radio factory, should be reported by Xiangyang Chemical Plant to the ministry, which will coordinate with the Fourth Machinery Department, and the Fourth Machinery Department will arrange production tasks and send them to the electronic component factory in charge of the Fourth Machinery Department.
Wang Weidong's production plan for Deputy Director Fang proposed to produce 30,000 Chuangye brand radios every year, excluding Sundays and holidays, that is, more than 2,000 units per month, and about 100 units per day.
For eight people, it's easy to produce 100 units a day.
But Deputy Director Fang frowned when he saw the report and said, "30,000 units? Too much, right? ”
The purpose of setting up this small factory is to arrange employment for the disabled, and most of the leaders of the state-owned factories do not have the concept of profit in their heads, they just want to complete the tasks assigned by the state.
"10,000 units is already a lot." Deputy Director Fang said.
The less production there is, the less the leaders of the Xiangyang Chemical Plant are worried about, that is, how much can they lose money? It's a big deal, the factory makes up a little money to raise these disabled young people.
Since the big leader has spoken, it is 10,000 units.
Then report to the ministry to apply for the allocation of raw materials for production is based on the number of 10,000 units.
"Deputy Director Fang, if 10,000 speakers are allocated, the production task must not be completed after removing the defective products. I propose an increase of 10 per cent in the number of allocations. Wang Weidong suggested.
"Makes sense!" Deputy Director Fang nodded and said.
After the production report was handed over to the department, we began to wait, waiting for the horn, magnetic rod, diode, and triode to be dialed down.
Fortunately, this is not enough for a large electronic component factory, and it can be supplied by cleaning and cleaning the bottom of the warehouse.
Now they are all state-owned enterprises, and everything is state, so there is no problem of arrears at all. It's all from the state, and whoever owes it to whom, so there is no need to pay for these electronic components in advance. However, the factory designated by the state to supply the components is the same one, and you can't replace another one because of the production quality and price.
However, there is also an advantage that the products produced go directly to the national sales channels without having to sell them themselves.
The radios produced by a radio factory may still be the same for more than ten years, and they don't care if they can be sold.
In fact, most of these products can still be sold, because now the state is focusing on heavy industry, and light industry products are still very scarce.
Another thing is that the price of the radio is either set by itself or how much, and it must be approved by the relevant state departments. Wang Weidong and Liu Jianguo felt that the cost of their radio would not exceed five yuan, and now the radios sold in the store are basically priced at more than twenty yuan, so they decided to set the price at fifteen yuan.
However, half a month after the report was handed over, the price of the radio became eighteen yuan. In this day and age, people may have to spend a month's salary to buy a better radio, which is much worse than the situation in twenty or thirty years from now, when a month's salary can buy dozens or hundreds of radios.
At the beginning, Wang Weidong asked Liu Jianguo to teach everyone how to use a multimeter and an electric soldering iron, but he learned this little thing in a day or two. There is no way, Wang Weidong leads everyone to read newspapers and strengthen ideological study in the so-called production workshop every day to pass the time.
Half a month later, it was time for the Xiangyang Chemical Plant to pay wages, which should also be the day when the radio factory paid wages.
The salary list was made by the accounting department, and Wang Weidong looked at his salary slip, which included basic salary, non-staple food subsidies, book and periodical fees, etc., a total of 37 yuan and five jiao.
Since the work level is set according to the level of large collective enterprises, the wage level is lower than that of the workers of state-owned enterprises.
But this salary has to come out of the 2,000 yuan start-up capital given by the factory, when Wang Weidong went to the deputy director of Fang to sign, the deputy director of Fang said: "The production raw materials will be allocated in the next month, and there will be sales in the third month, and then you will have to rely on yourself in the future!" ”
