Gerrish originally planned to travel the world for retirement, but when the East needed retired experts, he resolutely came to the East, ate and lived with the workers, and he once said bitterly to the people of Wuchai: "Some of you may think that I am crazy, I don't know how to enjoy every day, I go to the workshop every day to blow parts, and I am tired and sweaty...... I'm sixty or seventy years old, and I'm working hard, not for myself, but for you, for your wife and children! ”

To make an analogy, this man was Bethune of Germany, who, in the spirit of great internationalism, went to the East to help revive an old factory in trouble, but he did so through the organization of retired German specialists, and his tenure as director was only two years.

At the end of two years, Gerrish really began his retirement: he traveled the world, he traveled to the United States, state by state, and on this day, he happened to come to Westmoreland, and knew that there was a factory of Volkswagen in Germany, so he came to see it, which was equivalent to meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country.

Gad Henry personally took him to look around the empty factory building, introduced the past of this factory, and after coming out, he happened to meet Qin Feng.

Qin Feng immediately strode forward and greeted in English: "Mr. Gerrish, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”

Gerrish looked at this young man from the East in surprise, searched in his mind for the Oriental people he had seen, and finally shook his head: "I know more than 2,000 people in Wuchai, as well as the leaders of Wuhan, if I remember correctly, we should meet for the first time, right?" ”

"Yes, you are meeting me for the first time, however, I see you a lot in the newspapers." Qin Feng said: "You are our Mr. Oriental, you have brought a new atmosphere to our Oriental!" I admire you very much! ”

"You are?"

"I am the buyer of Volkswagen's production equipment here, Pingwang Rubber Shoes Factory." "We plan to ship this equipment back to China and then use it to produce motorcycles," Qin said. ”

Gerrish felt that the name of the Pingwang rubber shoe factory was somewhat familiar, but he still couldn't remember it, he thought for a while, and continued: "You want to use the equipment here to produce motorcycles? The equipment here is mainly for final assembly, and if you want to produce motorcycles, do you have to buy other components? ”

After a quick visit, Gerrish already knew that this factory was a production plant for body welding, painting and final assembly, and that other parts needed were transported from factories in Germany or Brazil, and that they wanted to use the equipment here to produce motorcycles? That's a lot worse.

"We acquired a second-hand engine production line from China." Qin Feng said: "Although we are a private enterprise, we also want to build a world-class motorcycle!" ”

While introducing, he was thinking about how to fool Gerrish to the East, if he opened his mouth directly, the other party would not necessarily go, after all, an old man, it was enough to contribute a retirement life to Wuchai in the East, and there was no need to continue to dedicate.

"Mr. Gerrish, you have been to our East, and you should know that our East is a big country of bicycles." Qin Feng said: "Our travel mainly relies on bicycles, but, after all, bicycles need manpower, slow speed, difficult to use over long distances, the best means of transportation is the car, however, our country's per capita chicken fart is not enough to meet the needs of everyone to have a car, so, motorcycles are our most suitable means of transportation, it can be said that motorcycles will become our national car in the East." ”

Gad Henry has completely become a passerby, watching the two chatting on the sidelines, this Qin is really able to talk to anyone!

He has to look at it, as long as Gerrish doesn't say the difference between industrial electricity in the United States and industrial electricity in the East, and the rest, whatever it is.

"Yes, you Oriental people do need motorcycles as a means of transportation to travel, but your existing motorcycles are not easy to use, the power is either large or small, the technology is old and the fuel consumption is high, Mr. Qin, what kind of motorcycle do you plan to build?" Gerrish looked at the car that Qin Feng was riding, are you planning to imitate the American muscular man? This kind of motorcycle is not suitable for your development in the East!

"The first one we plan to build is a self-propelled motorcycle." Qin Feng said: "We add a small gasoline engine on the basis of the bicycle to become a kind of bicycle with assistance, which is mainly economical. ”

Gerrish's eyes lit up: "On the basis of the bicycle? That's a lot of fun! ”

"Yes, this is our first initiative, is the crystallization of the wisdom of our Oriental technicians, at the same time, but also because we do not have advanced equipment, and so on with these equipment, we will officially build motorcycles, we plan to manufacture 125 cc displacement of motorcycles, this kind of motorcycle has a moderate displacement, strong power, low fuel consumption, is the most suitable for our Oriental displacement, we not only want to build two-wheeled motorcycles, but also to build three-wheeled motorcycles, become a means of transport, although we are a private enterprise, but, we also want to build national cars! Whatever the people need, we will build! This is the mission of our Pingwang rubber shoes factory! ”

There are also three-wheeled motorcycles in China, not to mention the kind of partial nephew, after all, it is impossible to transport materials, Dongfeng 021, which is mass-produced by the Capital Motorcycle Factory, is a three-wheeled motorcycle that undertakes transportation tasks, however, although it uses a 250 cc engine, it uses a two-stroke method, high fuel consumption, old technology, and the power is not strong. It is now a product that is obsolete.

Retrofitting a three-wheeled motorcycle with an advanced Honda 125 motorcycle will surely become a good helper for farmers to make a fortune!

This kind of three-wheeled motorcycle, not only used in China, but also can even cross the ocean, serve foreigners, our Pingwang brand civilian products, to go abroad, to the world!

Wait a minute!

Gerrish suddenly thought of something: "You are the Pingwang Town rubber shoe factory that made a big splash at the defense exhibition in Essen?" The one that built the Future Warrior system? ”

"Yes." Qin Feng said: "Our company has many projects, Mr. Gerrish, do you want to go to our East to have a look?" ”

"Can I go and see it? There's a lot of your company's secrets, right? ”

"It's a secret to someone else, to you, we don't have a secret, you are our best friend in the East."

Qin Feng didn't say anything about inviting the other party to be the factory director in the end, this kind of thing can't be rushed, you still have to take your time, and you can talk about it when you go to the east first.

"Okay, then I'll make the East my next stop, in fact, I like the East very much, it's like my second home."

"On behalf of the East, I welcome you, all the expenses of coming to our East are borne by our Pingwang Town Rubber Shoes Factory, you can enjoy this wonderful trip!"

Gerrish nodded.

Dongfang, Capital, Fangshan District, Capital Fire Equipment Factory.

The early morning sun sprinkled on the earth, and the entire factory area was bathed in the morning glow, and the fifty red old liberation fire trucks looked even more bright and dazzling.

Next to these vehicles, stood a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a military coat, but without buttons, revealing a Mao suit inside, with a heroic pen in his chest, and he looked like an old cadre.

"Director Guo, the superiors have decided to let the Pingwang Town Rubber Shoes Factory buy our factory, and they have also agreed to their reform plan, they have the right to deal with more than 500 employees of our factory, I heard that during the meeting and negotiation, the person in charge of their Pingwang Town Rubber Shoes Factory also said that you want to... Go clean the toilet. Director Guo, you should hurry up and find a relationship like Director Wang, and transfer to other factories! ”

Guo Jianmin, the acting director of the factory, turned his head and looked at his secretary Wei Man: "I'm not going, I want to see if he dares to send me to clean the toilet!" I have been working in the factory for more than 20 years, and now this position is something I have worked hard to come from step by step! Hmph, what about a young man who has not dried up, even if he is a student at Capital University? If he had the ability, he would have fired all the employees in our factory! There are so many people, all of them are dragging their families, and if they don't have a job, what should the family do? This is a serious social problem! ”

I heard that the factory was going to be acquired by a private company, and the original director Wang immediately found a relationship and transferred away, and handed over the stall to Guo Jianmin, Guo Jianmin does not have the kind of relationship network that Director Wang has, if he has the opportunity, of course he will slap his ass and leave, and now he can only pretend to be a good man here.

"That's right, Director Guo is right!" At this moment, Xu Minggang, an old worker, walked by, heard Guo Jianmin's words, and immediately echoed: "Everyone in our factory is twisted into a rope, we want to stay together, we want to go together!" They Pingwang Town Rubber Shoes Factory invested 2 million to fill the hole in the bank for us, we are grateful to them, but they want to smash our jobs, we absolutely disagree! We workers are the masters of the factory! ”

"That's right, the milky young man, if you want to ride on our heads, no way!" Another worker spoke.

Any old factory that goes bankrupt and closes down is a heavy accumulation that is difficult to return, and once the atmosphere of the workers in the factory is formed, it is difficult to change.

Moreover, a state-owned enterprise was acquired by a private enterprise, and they changed from a dignified state-made worker to a temporary worker, and they already had emotions, and if this emotion was vented to the private enterprise that bought them, it would definitely become a terrible torrent!

At that moment, a high-end car that they had never seen before drove by, and the four circles in front of the front of the car shimmered.

What kind of leader has come to inspect this?

Guo Jianmin took a big step and walked towards the car parked at the door.

Two young women got out of the car, a young man, the young one is not like that, so young can sit in such a high-end car? Guo Jianmin looked at the 212 in the factory, which often couldn't start, with complicated eyes.

Wait a minute!

There was a foreigner in the car?

The foreigner was not tall, had gray hair, wore glasses, and looked very kind.

"Mr. Gerrish, this is the Capital Fire Equipment Factory that we just acquired, and we plan to transform this factory into a motorcycle production plant." Wang Fang, who is fluent in German, introduced Gerrish that she had been here several times after the decision to buy and was very familiar with the area.

Qin Feng and Zhao Jiao came for the first time.

At the same time, after a large number of leaders in the capital heard about it, they also changed their itinerary and prepared a banquet at the Jianguo Hotel in the capital, but after Gerrish got off the plane, it was still early and he wanted to go around, so Qin Feng suggested coming to this factory to have a look.

Gerrish nodded: "The overall area here should be two or three hundred thousand square meters, and the construction area should be fifty or sixty thousand square meters, as a motorcycle factory, it should be big enough." ”

"Excuse me, who are you?" Guo Jianmin walked over to say hello.

"This is Mr. Gerrish, a German expert who has been the director of Wuchai for two years and has successfully helped Wuchai get out of trouble and become brilliant." Qin Feng introduced.

Wu Chai, German expert factory director?

Two years ago, it was a sensation! Of course, Guo Jianmin had heard of it, and he shook Gerrish's hand: "I welcome you on behalf of the Capital Fire Equipment Factory." ”

Gerrish grunted a few words.

Guo Jianmin couldn't understand, so he could only look at Wang Fang with expectant eyes, big sister, translate for us, what did Mr. Gerrish say?

"Mr. Gerrish said he was honored."

Honoured? What does it mean to be honored? Guo Jianmin's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Qin, is Mr. Gerrish going to come to our factory as a factory director?" ”

Qin Feng smiled but said nothing.

"Quick, Wei Man, call the workers out, welcome Mr. Gerrish!" Guo Jiamin's heart was full of excitement.

If it were these young people who had not dried up to become the factory director and ride on his head, of course he would not be willing, but if it was Gerrish, a foreign adult, who would be the factory director, he would be completely willing! He was originally the acting factory director, and he will only be a deputy factory director in the future!

The workers came out hula-la, whispering anecdotes about the foreign factory director, and at the same time expecting the foreign factory director to help them.

"Welcome to Mr. Gerrish!"

"Long live Director Gerrish!"

Gerrish was just going to come to the factory to have a look, but he didn't expect to suddenly meet such a large group of people to welcome him, which made him have a strange feeling, as if he was back in Wuhan, but this is obviously the capital of the East!

"Mr. Qin, what's going on?"

"Mr. Gerrish, they are welcoming you warmly and would like to invite you to be the factory manager." Qin Feng said.

I wasn't invited, I was invited by the big guys! This is the cry of the masses.

I? As a factory manager? Gerrish frowned, in the more than two years of Wuchai, he was busy, it was an unforgettable memory, now do you want to repeat it again?

How should he live his retirement? This is an issue that needs serious consideration.

At first, the crowd was only workers, but soon, the families of the workers also came, after all, there are not many opportunities to meet foreigners.

A woman wearing a padded jacket with two braids, and a little girl of three or four years old, who looked at Gerrish with a pair of big watery eyes, and said curiously: "Mom, foreigners are no different from us, one head, two eyes, one mouth..."

The woman quickly covered her mouth, what do you say?

At this time, the foreigner had already stood in front of her, squatted down, and took out a piece of white rabbit toffee from his pocket like a trick, and handed it to the little girl.

At the beginning, when Gerrish was in Wuchai, he often treated the children of employees' families like this, as for this piece of white rabbit toffee, it was given by Wang Fang when he got on the car, and he held it in his mouth when he got motion sickness.

Foreigners are not high-minded, foreigners are also amiable! Seeing such a foreign factory director, Guo Jianmin's eyes were full of expectation, he can take Wu Chai out of the predicament, and he can also take us out of the predicament!

"Director Guo, after looking at the workshop, let's go to the conference room, and you can report to Mr. Gerrish about the situation in the factory." Qin Feng said.

"Okay, okay, no problem."

In the conference room, everyone sat down.

"Mr. Gerrish, our Capital Fire Equipment Factory is the same age as the Republic, and after the establishment of the factory, it has also had a glorious history..."Guo Jianmin just said a few words, and felt that the sunlight was a little dazzling, and the secretary Wei Man hurriedly walked to the window and closed the curtains with a bang.

The sunlight turned into beams of light that shone through the large and small holes in the curtains, leaving specks on the floor and on the table.

As a result, everyone was embarrassed.

"Mr. Gerrish, this factory is difficult to operate, and our Pingwang Town Rubber Shoes Factory only produces shoes, which belongs to light industry, and motorcycles belong to heavy industry. Qin Feng said: "Now, if you want to revitalize this factory, you need an expert like you. ”

Think about the little girl outside, if the factory closes down and the family loses a job, how will she live in the future? Think of the warm welcome of those workers just now, and look at the tattered curtains, Mr. Gerrish, can you bear it?

"We Pingwang Town rubber shoes factory originally did not plan to engage in heavy industry, we have been able to develop and grow by existing products, but, after listening to the capital leaders said the situation of the capital fire equipment factory, we resolutely decided to acquire the factory, we have invested more than two million yuan to help the factory pay off the bank's debts, we also plan to invest 10 million to transform the factory into a motorcycle factory, but we still have no bottom in our hearts."

Qin Feng said very frankly: "Of course, we also know that you are already enjoying retirement, at your age, we should no longer tie you to work, but we do need talents like you here." As long as you can stay, we can give you an annual salary of 200,000 marks, of course, we know that you don't care about the money, what you care about is the feeling of work, please rest assured, we are a private company, you can let go of your hands, those who are incompetent, you can be fired directly! The resistance that was received on the Wuhan side will not be there on this side. ”

Qin Feng and Gerrish were talking to each other, Guo Jianmin couldn't understand anything, he could only stare there, and when Gerrey wanted to come, he could only smile expectantly.

"Our factory is not intended to make much money, we are to build national cars, develop the economy of our East, and let our Oriental people finally live the same life as Westerners!"

Gerrish nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to stay." ”

The statement of the national car finally moved Gerrish, this Qin Zong next to him has such a broad mind, and he must have lofty ideals and work with him!
