1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

It was not the first time that the County Machinery Factory came here, but the mood this time was very different from before.

After all, he was just a guest before, but this time he was about to become the host. The mood was very different.

"Comrade..., oh, it's Manager Chen, please come in quickly."

The guard was about to register him when he recognized him at once.

"Thank you, I would have driven in directly." Chen Tiezhu smiled and nodded.

Looking at his car taillights, the guard hurriedly asked for the internal phone.

This was a big event. Manager Chen came here in person, which was a big deal.

When Chen Tiezhu arrived at the factory office building, Director Cui and Liu Dayou were already waiting here.

"Manager Chen, I finally got you here." Director Cui said eagerly.

"It just so happened that I came here today for something, so I came to see us. County Magistrate Gao should have communicated with you, right?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

"We have communicated, we have communicated, so everyone is looking forward to it." Director Cui said hurriedly.

"Let's go to the office quickly. Although the New Year is over, it's still a little cold. It's not like being in the car outside, so don't get cold. Don't rush back today, you have to eat at our factory at noon."

Chen Tiezhu smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything.

"Manager Chen, have you arranged the work at the county hospital?" Liu Dayou asked.

This is Liu Dayou's ability.

When he is at home, he can call Chen Tiezhu a brother, which is the relationship between the two. But when he is outside, he must distinguish between the primary and the secondary.

"I met with Director Xu and others from the provincial hospital, and I have to treat them to dinner tomorrow night. I think we have to borrow an office from Director Cui, and you can work here temporarily." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Of course, I will vacate my office." Director Cui said hurriedly.

"Director Cui, this is not possible. I am not here permanently, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done between us. Just find me an empty room." Liu Dayou said with a smile.

"Manager Chen is not only concerned about the affairs of our machinery factory this time, but also the affairs of the breeding farm. I have to go there when the time comes."

"How about this, we don't have to sit in the office." Chen Tiezhu said suddenly.

Director Cui was stunned and his heart was lifted.

"As for our machinery factory, I still know a little about the office here. But I have only picked up waste in our yard, and I have never seen other workshops." Chen Tiezhu continued.

"I have to take a look, right? Otherwise, when people ask me what this machinery factory does, I don't know what to say."

"That's fine, that's fine, then let's go to visit the workshop first." Director Cui nodded hurriedly, and then led the way.

Looking at Director Cui's back, Chen Tiezhu sighed in his heart.

The old man is not young anymore, but in order to find a way out for the machinery factory and let the workers make money, he still grovels in front of a young man like him, which is somewhat unbearable.

"Manager Chen, the sand casting workshop in front is the foundry workshop. The environment here is not very good, it is too damp inside, let's not go in." Director Cui introduced.

Chen Tiezhu took a look at the door. Although there were workers working, it can be seen that there was not much work to be done.

"This is the machining workshop 1. The forged blanks will be sent here. There are lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, grinders, etc. here to meet the production requirements of subsequent processes." Director Cui continued to introduce.

Chen Tiezhu looked a little more carefully here. The workshop is indeed not small. There are many lathes lying on the ground, but the lathes that are actually working are less than a quarter.

"This one next to it is the machining workshop 2. This workshop is relatively small, and it mainly has gear processing machines. We also made gears for the provincial machinery factory in the past."

The reason why I said before is that the second workshop is completely shut down.

"Please follow me to the back. The back is our other workshops. For example, heat treatment, forging, electroplating, and spraying are all operated in the factory building at the back."

After paying a little attention to Chen Tiezhu's expression, Director Cui added another sentence.

"Director Cui, is there a toilet in our factory? I drank too much tea in the county hospital." Chen Tiezhu said a little embarrassedly.

"Yes, yes, I'll take you there right away. In fact, I have some good tea leaves. When we eatDrink after dinner." Director Cui said with a smile.

"I see that the number of workers in our factory now seems to be not full, right?" Chen Tiezhu asked casually.

"Manager Chen, it's not like that. Actually... Actually, I saw that there was no work at all, and I didn't know how to pay the salary this month, so I let everyone take turns to work." Director Cui said helplessly.

"Otherwise, you will just stay here, and it will be worse if everyone is together. In this way, if there is any work at home, you can help out."

"Such an arrangement is also adapted to local conditions." Chen Tiezhu nodded.

"Manager Chen, the toilet is in front, I won't accompany you in." Director Cui said.

Chen Tiezhu was happy, "You don't have to be so polite to me. I have to say that the equipment produced for me last time is really good, and we will also work overtime next time."

"That's good, that's good. "

Director Cui felt a little relieved.

Being satisfied with the equipment produced by the factory means that there is still a certain degree of recognition of the factory.

After Chen Tiezhu came out of the toilet, Director Cui took him to visit the workshops behind, and then went directly to the cafeteria.

"Director Cui, the machinery factory is struggling now, right?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

Director Cui's expression froze, and he nodded, "It is indeed difficult. This month's salary is not settled. In fact, it is not just this month. The main reason is that I can't ask the county for money this time."

"So when I heard that you wanted to buy our machinery factory, I had hope. The workers in the factory have suffered for too long, and I am incapable. ”

At this time, the waiter also brought up the prepared meals, which were really rich.

Just at this time, a group of people rushed in from outside the cafeteria.

Looking at the work clothes, they were all factory employees.

Chen Tiezhu frowned slightly, because the expressions of these people who came in were obviously not very beautiful.

This matter seems to be a bit interesting.

"Old Cui, no wonder you gave us a holiday first, are you planning to sell us all behind our backs? Good man, the workers' wages are not settled, and you are still eating here?"

A dark and strong man in the lead stared at Director Cui and asked.

Hearing his words, the others also looked at Director Cui angrily.
