Chapter 208: We Are the Porters of Steel I
Mayor Skiak met with Wang Weidong at the city hall. There were not a few people in sight in the entire city hall. It seems that even the city government is in a state of shutdown.
Mayor Skiak said, "Mr. Wang Yudong, I have known you for a long time. They all say that you are our most sincere friend. You've been a great help to the fishing company during this time. Now I want you to extend a sincere hand to me as well and help us! ”
"Of course I'm willing to help you, but the fish company has marine fish, and I can help them sell it in exchange for the supplies they urgently need," Wang said. But I don't know how to help you, what do you have now? If there is nothing, how can I help you? ”
Mayor Skiak said: "We have! I'll take you to see it now. ”
Take a Volga car and get off at a short distance outside Vladivostok.
Mayor Skiak takes Wang Weidong into an empty factory. There were seven or eight broken gas trucks parked in the yard of the factory, as well as a few cranes. There was a tall chimney in the courtyard.
Wang Weidong was surprised by the empty factory. Isn't such a big factory guarded?
The secretary led the way in front. He pushed open a door, and three men walked in. The house is fifty or sixty meters long and more than 20 meters wide, and contains dozens of machine tools. It looks like no one has been working here for a long, long time, and there is dust everywhere.
"That's where you let me see?" Wang Weidong asked.
Mayor Skiniak replied, "Yes, this is it." ”
"Mr. Mayor, what do you want me to do now?" Wang Weidong then asked.
"Sell it, sell it all!" Mayor Skiak replied.
"I heard that China is now engaged in large-scale construction, which requires a lot of steel. Aren't these just steel? The mayor of Quadrugnac said.
Look at these machines that are not too old yet. It's much better than the old machine tool I bought from Xiangyang Chemical Factory for 500 yuan when I was working in a radio factory. But these machines are going to be sold now, and they are being sold as scrap metal. Wang Weidong felt very sorry in his heart.
After all, he is a child of the factory. It is very heart-wrenching for this kind of ruined behavior.
"How to sell it? At what price do you sell these machines? Wang Weidong asked.
"Sell it at the price of your scrap." Mayor Skignak said unconcernedly.
The big northern countries used to have a planned economy. It is not entirely about running a business according to the law of profit or non-profit. This machine repair shop was originally maintained by state funding.
Now the state no longer gives money, and the workers have run out of money without any way to survive. Even the best machines lose their effectiveness. Now is the time to replace it with food to fill your stomach.
"Okay, I'm willing to do it. After receiving the steel at the port of the Fen River, I converted it into renminbi and bought grain there to transport it to Vladivostok. Wang Weidong said.
Hearing Wang Weidong say this, Mayor Skiak hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no! We don't have the ability to dismantle these devices now, there is no one to do this work at all, you have to dismantle them yourself! ”
The large northern countries have high levels of education and educational coverage. One consequence of this situation is that no one wants to do manual labor.
The Far East was already a vast and sparsely populated region, and now people are running west to Moscow, and there is no one to work.
Mayor Skiak meant to let Wang Weidong find someone to disassemble the equipment himself.
"Are you trying for me to find someone to disassemble the equipment?" Wang Weidong asked.
Mayor Skiak nodded.
"Okay, I'm willing to help you with this, I'll go back to China to find someone right away." Wang Weidong said.
Three days later, Wang Weidong returned to the Xiangyang Chemical Plant.
Now there are only Wang Xianjin and Qu Xiaomei in the family. During the day they work and are not at home. Wang Weidong came to Bao Qihang's house first.
Now Bao Qihang's movie theater has nothing to do at all, so he is idle at home every day.
Seeing Wang Yudong's arrival, Bao Qihang was surprised and happy.
"Weidong, why are you here?" Bao Qihang asked.
"I'm looking for something for you. The last time you came to my house, I didn't feel good. Now I have a little work, I don't know if you want to do it. Wang Weidong asked.
"What kind of work?" Bao Qihang asked.
"I have contracted a project in the big northern country to dismantle a factory, and now I need some people, would you like to go?" Wang Yudong asked.
"How to disassemble?" Bao Qihang asked curiously.
"It's a machine repair shop. Remove all the metal such as equipment, heating, water pipes, etc., and then load them back to China. You can rest assured, you must earn a lot more than you did in the Xiangyang Chemical Factory. Wang Weidong replied.
Bao Qihang just hesitated for a moment and then nodded and said, "I'll do it, I'm willing to go!" ”
When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Wang Yudong still did not go home. He came to the door of Kong Deliang and Fang Yanmei's house.
Waited a while. Fang Yanmei rode her bicycle back home first.
"I haven't seen Weidong for several years, what are you doing here?" Fang Yanmei asked.
"I'm looking for you and see how you're doing." Wang Weidong replied with a smile.
opened the door of the house and let Wang Weidong enter the house, Fang Yanmei poured another glass of water for Wang Weidong.
"How? It's a good time now, right? Wang Yudong asked.
"How can it be? I have dealt with it, and now the factory is dead. With just two dollars, what else? Fang Yanmei replied.
While the two were talking, Kong Deliang came back with his daughter who was in elementary school. He saw Wang Weidong sitting at home in a big way, Kong Deliang squeezed out a smile and said hello to Wang Weidong.
That time on the street, Kong Deliang let Wang Weidong scold. Dozens of people around watched the excitement on the side, which made Kong Deliang lose face.
Then Kong Deliang, who was stimulated, drank a bottle of the Great Northern Wilderness and ran to the workshop to play drunk. He chased the workshop director with a big wrench and shouted to kill, which is still a joke in the factory.
But the good thing is that the workshop leaders have a much better attitude towards him since then. But in retrospect, Kong Deliang still felt that incident was very embarrassing.
"Weidong, why are you here?" Kong Deliang asked.
"I'm here to check the work! Look at how Sister Yanmei is doing now? Have you ever been bullied by a bastard! Wang Weidong replied.
"I bullied her? It's her who bullies me every day! Kong Deliang said with resentment.
"Don't talk nonsense, now let's get down to business, I'm here today to find you two to have something. Now that the factory is in recession, I also know that I can't make a lot of money by grinding foreign workers in the factory every day. So I'd like to find you some work. I contracted a project in the big northern country, and I needed a group of people to go over and disassemble the steel, and I must have made a lot of money! I don't know if Brother Liang is interested? Wang Weidong asked.
