Chapter Eighty-Eight: Becoming Sweet and Sweet Again

Several leaders who met to discuss the conversion of production from military to civilian at the Xiangyang Chemical Plant have not yet realized what today's transformation means for the Xiangyang Chemical Plant.

After the meeting, Director Lu left the deputy director in charge of the factory-run enterprises under the Xiangyang Chemical Plant.

Contracting has now become a word that people often talk about, and most of the factory-run enterprises under the Xiangyang Chemical Plant have been broken down and contracted.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer enterprises managed by Deputy Director Fang, and it is not far from the commander of the light pole.

It was at this time that the conversion of military to civilian at the Xiangyang Chemical Plant began.

"Lao Fang, these factory leaders were originally engaged in the main business of the military industry, and only you have some experience in managing the people's livelihood. I can tell you one thing now, the opinion of the ministry is to let the Xiangyang Chemical Plant start the float glass project, with an investment of at least a few million. We are also working with RB to introduce glass counter-roll molding technology. It will take a long time from the project to the time it is put into production. We can't do nothing during this time, what are your thoughts on this? Director Lu asked.

"I have been the deputy director of the factory for so many years, and I have managed collective enterprises such as supply and marketing cooperatives, popsicle factories, non-staple food factories, and photo studios and barber shops, all of which serve the families of employees of Xiangyang Chemical Factory, so I have no experience." Deputy Director Fang replied awkwardly.

He thought for a moment and then said: "If there is, there is only a small radio factory, which produces radios, but three years ago that radio factory was decoupled from the chemical factory. ”

Director Lu had just been sent to the Xiangyang Chemical Plant for less than half a year, and he didn't know much about the past. He was interested when he heard that Deputy Director Fang heard that there was originally a radio factory in the Xiangyang Chemical Factory.

"What about that plant, and why is it decoupled from the chemical plant?" Director Lu asked.

"The factory was established in '79, when the policy did not allow the establishment of private enterprises, so it was attached to the Xiangyang Chemical Plant, and it was founded by a young intellectual, named Wang Weidong, who had returned to the factory and led the disabled young people in the chemical factory. At that time, the sales situation was okay, at least they could support themselves, and the profits were enough to raise funds. Deputy Director Fang replied.

"If the benefits are good, why did the chemical plant allow them to decouple at that time?" Director Lu asked.

"That was a few years ago, although Director Lu was not in the Xiangyang Chemical Plant at that time, but you also know that the production tasks of various military factories were tense at that time, and there were a lot of foreign trade tasks, and the wages of employees were raised, as well as bonuses and overtime pay were very high, so no one took this small radio factory for disabled people to heart at that time, and letting go was also a trouble." Deputy Director Fang replied.

However, he hurriedly added: "However, this matter was still discussed at the factory work meeting, and the director of the stone factory at that time also nodded in agreement." ”

He must not bear the responsibility alone, and if you want to take responsibility for the things discussed in the meeting, then everyone should bear it together.

"Is this radio factory still alive now? What about production and efficiency? Director Lu asked.

"It's still there, the factory has fallen to Harbin City, but now there are more than 30 disabled young people in our chemical plant who have installed radios for this radio factory, and the benefits should be okay, if Director Lu wants to go and see, I can take you to the warehouse of this factory here, it's not far away." Deputy Director Fang said.

The Xiangyang Chemical Plant began to convert from military to civilian use, but it is still necessary to retain a considerable number of military production tasks, but it is inevitable that at least a few thousand workers will turn to people's livelihood production. It will take a long time for the float glass production line to complete the installation of the production line and then test and put into production.

Many people are like this, as long as there is a little condition to allow it, then the old god is indifferent to the problems that will arise in the future, and when the conditions are completely allowed, the change may be caught off guard, and then the illness is rushed to the doctor.

Director Lu now has a strong interest in this radio factory, and when he heard Deputy Director Fang's words, he replied: "Okay, let's go and have a look now." ”

Director Lu and the former director of the stone factory think about how to complete the production tasks assigned by their superiors every day, and they don't need to think about other things. Now they need to turn to civilian production, what to produce, and how to sell it are all urgent for them to learn.

The warehouse is still in the outermost part of the residential area of the chemical plant that Wang Weidong rented back then, and now Liu Jianguo and his daughter-in-law live here.

Every day, the two men deliver electronic components to the homes of more than 30 disabled people, and at the same time recycle the installed radios.

The factory car pulled the two people to the gate, and Deputy Director Fang took the lead in getting out of the car and walking into the yard.

"Jianguo, at home?" Deputy Director Fang said loudly.

Hearing the sound outside, Liu Jianguo's daughter-in-law opened the door. The two of them walked into the house and saw Liu Jianguo bending down to put small plastic boxes into large boxes.

Director Lu was very interested in picking up a small plastic box and looking at it.

"This little thing is a radio, why doesn't it even have a speaker pointer?" Director Lu asked.

"Jianguo, this is the new Director Lu!" Deputy Director Fang introduced with a smile.

Deputy Director Fang was promoted from Xiangyang Chemical Factory little by little, so he is very familiar with the children of the factory. At the beginning, Wang Weidong and Liu Jianguo stood outside the door of Deputy Factory Director Fang's office with the radio installed overnight, waiting for him to nod and set up the radio factory.

"This is a radio specially produced for college students, and you can listen to the FM radio in the university by plugging in headphones." Liu Jianguo explained.

Hearing Liu Jianguo's explanation, Director Lu looked at it with interest.

The era of market economy has come, and for this point, people like Director Lu are like primary school students.

Director Lu sat down and chatted with Liu Jianguo for a long time before leaving.

Director Lu and Deputy Director Fang sat back in the car and walked back.

Deputy Director Fang smiled and said to Director Lu: "Don't underestimate the disabled young man just now, he was a 10,000 yuan household a few years ago!" ”

Then he told Liu Jianguo and Bao Qihang a few years ago when they each came back from Harbin with 10,000 yuan. At that time, this incident caused a sensation at the Xiangyang Chemical Plant.

Director Lu listened silently, thoughtfully.

The next morning, Director Lu asked Deputy Director Fang to the office to discuss the matter.

"Old Fang, the Wang Weidong you told me yesterday, can you let him come back, I want to talk to him."

Looking at Deputy Director Fang's inquiring gaze, Director Lu explained: "After chatting with Liu Jianguo yesterday, we knew that the radio factory is developing quite well. ”

"It's not easy, is it?" Deputy Director Fang said in surprise.

"It's a matter of people, it's a big deal to spend a little price! As long as we get the job done, it should be fine! Director Lu said confidently.
