Wang Weidong returned to Fushan and told Ou Xiaojun and Ou Xiaoyang about the matter, but neither of them agreed.

"Although we are short of money now, we can still get a loan of 20 million yuan from my grandfather and grandmother. Although the interest rate is a little higher, we can still afford the extra interest of one or two million. But all of a sudden there are 3,000 more workers, how can we arrange them? Ou Xiaoyang said.

Ou Xiaoyang's meaning Wang Weidong understands that these 3,000 workers in the original state-owned enterprises are not like the workers in the current Xiangyang Electronics Factory, they can do it if they want to, and they can leave if they want to.

"Now in the face of this situation, the state also has a policy, women can retire at the age of 45, and men can also retire at the age of 50. We recruit workers as much as possible towards the older ones, and as they retire, we feel much less stressed. In addition, the building and land of the radio factory where the radio factory used to produce radios were transferred to us for free use, which can also help us save a lot of money. Wang Weidong explained.

"Weidong, what are you going to let these people do?" Ou Xiaojun asked.

"Didn't the computer learning machine factory set aside a production line to produce power strips? Now I want the workers in that factory to produce the power strips of the VCD machines, and when the 100,000 floppy drives arrive, all the workers of the computer learning machines will be working at full capacity to produce the computer learning machines. Wang Weidong replied.

"But you can't use 3,000 people to produce the power strip of the VCD machine." Ou Xiaoyang said.

"The workers in our factory work overtime and earn more than 400 yuan a month. If the factory is in the hometown of these workers, they don't have to go home immediately, and they are willing to work for more than 300 yuan. The small amount of work reduces their working hours and lowers their wages. On average, more than 200 yuan a month per person can also guarantee their livelihood. Wang Weidong replied.

"Now it depends on whether Song Yu can borrow 20 million from the bank in the capital." Wang Weidong continued.

"What's so hard about that? What banks are most afraid of now is to lend money to loss-making companies to pay their salaries. My favorite thing to do is to give loans to real estate developers who build buildings. Ou Xiaoyang said.

Sure enough, within a few days, Song Yu called to report the good news that the 20 million bank loan had been completed by two banks. In addition to the 10 million land purchase money given to the municipal government, another 10 million can be used to start construction.

This time, Shi Ke helped to handle the 30 million low-interest loan progress is also very fast, when the bank knew that Xiangyang Electronics was a secured loan, and then Shi Ke worked it, the bank agreed very happily.

Wang Weidong used 15 million of the 30 million to buy 100,000 floppy drives, and the remaining 15 million was used to increase the production line in the VCD machine factory and recruit 500 workers to expand production.

Wang Weidong rushed to the capital, just in time to see the demolition of the dilapidated building and the surrounding three bungalows on the land he had purchased.

After all, the capital is different from other places, and the requirements for noise and dust removal are very strict during construction.

"Weidong, it didn't cost much to pick up these houses, I hired two construction teams near the capital, and they transported everything that could be used in the house to pay off the construction money, so I didn't need to spend a few dollars." Song Yu said happily.

Wang Weidong looked at Song Yu, this guy who used to pour thousands of yuan of wine into his mouth every night also knew that he had saved.

"After the house is demolished, there will be a construction ceremony, and you will definitely come to attend it then." Song Yu said to Wang Weidong.

"I won't be present on this occasion, and I still have very important things to deal with when I go back to the Northeast. You, the vice chairman, will represent me and preside over the construction ceremony on behalf of our Xiangyang Electronics. Wang Weidong said.

Shi Ke returned to the Xiangyang Chemical Plant earlier than Wang Weidong, and after a decision by the ministry, the Xiangyang Chemical Plant's Voltaic Glass Production Line was sold to a private company in the south at a low price.

The company will dismantle and transport the entire production line, and then return to the south to rebuild the factory.

After getting the news, the workers in the Xiangyang Chemical Plant scolded.

The equipment that was purchased at tens of millions of dollars back then can only be sold at a price of more than 1 million.

Hearing the worker's reaction, Shi Ke could only smile bitterly. Although he did not make the decision to build a float glass factory at the Xiangyang Chemical Plant, he certainly had responsibilities as the leader of the ministry.

All the money from the sale of the float glass production line will be used to house the workers. It is slightly less difficult to resettle ordinary workers, tell them about the difficulties that the country is facing now, and then give them a certain amount of economic compensation, so that they can find their own way out, and the problem will be solved.

There are four or five thousand workers in the float glass factory, and there are more than five or six hundred cadres on the job, and these people cannot be appeased by just a little economic compensation.

Not only these people, but also more than 300 cadres in the radio factory of more than 2,000 people, these people also need Shi Kewei to find a way out for them.

After returning home after the year, Wang Haifu returned to Xiangyang Chemical Factory.

So many workers assemble VCD machines for Xiangyang Electronics, and he has to distribute the parts fairly.

Wang Haifu is very serious and fair, and everyone can get a little bit of rain and dew.

A small amount earns dozens of yuan a month to supplement the family, and an extra amount of four or five hundred yuan a month can fully meet the life of the whole family.

Although everyone can't eat enough to assemble VCD, there are no complaints, so they respect Wang Haifu very much, but it is just respect.

In China, news is faster than the speed of light.

More than half a month after Wang Haifu returned to the Xiangyang Chemical Factory, he suddenly found that people's attitudes towards him had changed.

Everyone who saw him smiled respectfully and bent down and nodded.

Wang Haifu felt that other people's attitudes towards him were very much like those poor hired peasants before liberation who saw the old wealth of the landlords.

When he went to the front of the supply and marketing cooperatives to play poker and chess with the workers who used to work together as usual, those old men saw Wang Haifu coming, and they all took out cigarettes from their pockets and stuffed them into his hands.

Wang Haifu had never enjoyed this kind of treatment before. Looking at the smiling faces full of wrinkles and flattering, Wang Haifu was satisfied and at the same time, his heart was not happy.

"You guys are so enthusiastic, and that's what happened when I watched a news documentary about a foreign leader visiting China. Your attitude towards me is too enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm makes my heart empty! Wang Haifu said.

Fang Yanmei's father was very familiar with Wang Haifu, especially in the past two years, his daughter and aunt have made a lot of money by working with Wang Weidong, and he feels that he has a closer relationship with Wang Haifu.

So Fang Yanmei's father said, "Lao Wang, what are you pretending?" Word has spread outside, your son has contracted all of our Xiangyang Chemical Factory's radio factory, a full 3,000 people! In the future, these people will all work for your old Wang family to eat! ”
