Sending bricks is a hard job, both tired and dirty, generally with customers to send bricks are two people in a group, each other has a response, not so tired. But Guan Yuntian is a rural person, young and energetic, and he feels that although loading and unloading red bricks is tiring, it is really nothing compared to the reed mats he made in his hometown.

I think it was also the middle of summer, he went on the road early in the morning, pulling a cart loaded with two or three hundred catties of reed mats, and it took six or seven hours to reach the market in another township.

One hot afternoon, Guan Yuntian drove a tractor to deliver red bricks to a user, he didn't bring a stevedore as usual, and when he unloaded a large cart of red bricks, the sweat had already soaked his clothes, and Guan Yuntian was also exhausted.

After resting in the driver's seat of the tractor for a few minutes, Guan Yuntian drove the tractor back, because the road was more congested, he slowly drove forward more than 200 meters, just when he was about to change gears and speed up, a middle-aged man with a good appearance on the side of the road walked towards him and greeted him: "Master, are you going in the direction of the county seat?

Guan Yuntian stopped the car, "Enter the county seat?" Oh, no, I'll go back to the brick factory." ”

"Oh, forget it. After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and walked forward with a little disappointment.

Guan Yuntian felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the man, he drove a tractor to chase after him, "I said, you asked me if I could enter the county seat, are you in trouble?"

"I thought you were going into the county seat, and I wanted to hitchhike with you. ”

Guan Yuntian stopped the car, "Come on, I'll send you to the county seat." ”

"Forget it, you'll have to take a detour, I think of another way. ”

"What can you come up with? It's hard to get a taxi here, and if you don't take a car, you won't be able to get to the county seat in two hours." Guan Yuntian was anxious for the other party.

"How bad is this, you have to take a long detour, I think it's better to forget it. ”

"Why are you so verbose, what's so bad? The county seat is about the same as my brick factory, I'll send you into the county seat, a few kilometers around at most, it's also a good way, you get in the car quickly." ”

On the tractor, the middle-aged man took the initiative to talk to Guan Yuntian, "Master, I don't think you like to do this business?"

"How can I see that I don't look like a person who does this? Is there any distinguishing feature of the brick deliverer?"

"I've seen a lot of bricks sent to the factory, and it's the first time I've seen you like you. ”

"Then what do you think I'm doing?"

"Anyway, it's not like a professional brick puller. ”

"I admire your eyesight, I can't hide it, after graduating from my Normal College, I was assigned to Chengguan Central Primary School as a teacher, and I teach. ”

"I'll just say it. Uh, you're a teacher, why did you start burning bricks and delivering bricks?" the middle-aged man was very curious.

Guan Yuntian talked to the middle-aged people about how he left the front line of teaching and went to the campus factory to run a business.

"It turns out that you are a college student, you should have a wealth of knowledge, and you will not be able to do the brick-burning industry when you go to the school-run factory to operate!" said the middle-aged man very confused.

"Burning bricks makes money quickly, and if you don't burn bricks, I really don't know what to do. Guan Yuntian said casually.

The middle-aged man disagreed, "The red brick industry is consuming high-quality land resources, this industry will not grow, the policy risk is very large, and sooner or later the government will stop it." You guard so many tire companies in Fuyuan County, how can you say that you don't know what to do?"

As he spoke, the tractor drove into the city, "The county seat has arrived, where are you going?" Guan Yuntian asked.

"I'll just get off here, just a few steps ahead. ”

"What's the matter? I'll just send you wherever you go. ”

The middle-aged man said that he went to the long-distance bus station to pick up his friends, Guan Yuntian drove the tractor and walked forward for a while, and when he arrived outside the long-distance bus station, Guan Yuntian parked the car on the side of the road, just when the middle-aged man was about to get off the car, Guan Yuntian asked: "There are indeed many enterprises that produce tires in Fuyuan County, but I am a complete layman, may I ask Mr., what products do you think we are more suitable?"

The middle-aged man stood in front of the tractor after getting out of the car, "You know that in addition to using rubber as raw materials to produce tires, you also need to use several auxiliary materials, and you can choose any one to do." ”

It turned out that the middle-aged man named Li Gong, who was called Li Gong, was an external technical expert hired by a large-scale tire company in Fuyuan County, and he was going to the county long-distance bus station to pick up a friend who came to see him from other places.

Fuyuan County is one of the top 100 counties in the country, township enterprises and private enterprises are very developed, and more than a dozen automobile tire manufacturing enterprises of different sizes have appeared within a few years.

Back at the unit, Guan Yuntian, who had been tired all day, washed up, changed his clothes, and went home from work on time very rarely.

After dinner, his wife Zhou Yuanyuan took the children to the square for a walk, Guan Yuntian was too lazy to move, he lay on the sofa and fell asleep, but the words of Li Gong, who hitchhired in the afternoon, lingered in his mind, "This industry destroys high-quality land resources, and the policy is very risky, and sooner or later it will be stopped by the policy." These words touched Guan Yuntian's sensitive nerves.

Although he is not a politician, after all, he is highly educated, Guan Yuntian knows the meaning of "policy risks and sooner or later will be stopped by the policy", maybe one day he wakes up and goes to work, and as soon as he arrives at the office, he receives a red-headed document ordering the industry to shut down immediately, that kind of thing is not necessarily a fantasy, if that happens, everything before will be in vain, and at that time, it will be too late to cry.

Li Gong suggested switching to the production of cord cloth for tires, Guan Yuntian felt that he knew nothing about that industry, and was a little hesitant at first, but after thinking about it, he had never been in contact with the red brick industry from the central primary school to the campus factory, and now he has not been the best in the county?

Look at the business owners who make tires in this county, according to Guan Yuntian, many of them have only graduated from junior high school with the highest education, and some have not even finished elementary school, and they don't know what synthetic rubber and natural rubber are, nor do they understand the difference between radial tires and bias tires, but that does not affect them in the slightest to make the company famous in the country.

He is also a college graduate, although he studied at a normal college, his cultural foundation is always much higher than those people, and he believes that he can do a good job of what they can do. With such thoughts, Guan Yuntian's heart suddenly became brighter.

Guan Yuntian is a literate person after all, before making a further decision, he made a special trip to the bookstore in Huayuan City to buy professional books on tires and cord fabrics, not that he wants to make much achievements in this area, Guan Yuntian feels that he should at least have a general understanding of the field he will be involved in.

Combined with the information learned from the visit and research and the knowledge learned from professional books, Guan Yuntian learned that the tire manufacturing industry needs a large number of cord fabrics as raw materials, and he was completely moved by this matter and officially decided to switch the production of cord fabrics.

From the analysis of the situation, the technical difficulty and capital requirements of the production of cord cloth are very different from the production of red bricks, although it has been decided to change production, before the technical support and funding sources are not implemented, Guan Yuntian does not dare to act rashly.

According to the contact information left at the time of parting that day, Guan Yuntian dialed the phone number of Li Changjin's office, "May I ask if Li Gong is not there?"

"I'm Li Changjin, who are you?"

"Li Gong, I'm Guan Yuntian from the red brick factory on campus, and we met a few days ago. ”

"Come to think of it, Boss Guan, do you have something to do with me?"

"Li Gong, I have something I want to consult and consult with you, can you take some time to come to the county seat? I want to meet you. ”

"Going to the county seat----, hey, I don't necessarily have time in normal times!"

"Then on the weekend, after you get off work, take a taxi to the county seat, stay in the city that night after dinner, and then go back to the factory the next day, and I will be responsible for all the expenses. Do you think it's okay?"

"Alright then, just this weekend, I'll look for you in the city. ”

At six o'clock in the evening of Friday, Guan Yuntian waited for Li Changjin's arrival at the agreed place, and after meeting, they went to a good hotel in the county, Guan Yuntian asked for a small private room, and the two ordered dishes and drinks according to their respective preferences, ready to chat while eating.

Li Gong was eager to know the purpose of Guan Yuntian's search for him, and while he was waiting for the food to be served, he asked, "Boss Guan, you asked me to meet, do you have anything to talk to me about?"

"What you told me on the tractor that day made me moved. ”

"On the tractor, I seem to have said a lot, I don't know what that sentence makes you moved?"

"I was advised to switch jobs. You said that the red brick industry will not grow, the policy risk is too great, and sooner or later it will be stopped by the local government. In fact, I have an understanding of this, because our campus red brick factory is the biggest and best in the county, and some people reported us for destroying land resources out of jealousy, and as a result, we were investigated and dealt with by the inspection department of the Land Bureau, and it took me a lot of effort to settle the incident. Isn't this a concrete embodiment of the policy risks you are talking about?"

"What are your plans?"

"Didn't I say it, follow your advice and change production. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Produce tire cord fabrics! That's what you gave me. ”

"Oh, that's good, when are you going to start implementing this plan?" Seeing that his suggestion was responded, Li Changjin seemed very happy.

"That's what I'm looking for you today. Li Gong, according to my preliminary understanding, the technical requirements for the production of cord fabrics are high, and I would like to hear your detailed suggestions before making a final decision. ”
