Chapter 6 The ins and outs of the air compressor factory (two-in-one chapter)

Riding a bicycle, Zhang Qihang rode leisurely on the way to the air compressor factory, while recalling every bit of the air compressor factory...

The air compressor factory is a big problem, but this big problem is not because the air compressor factory has been established for too long, and the internal relations are intertwined. On the contrary, the air compressor factory under the regional industrial bureau has not been established for a long time. , was established in 1987, and the original intention of the Industrial Bureau to set up the air compressor factory was to accommodate those glorious veterans.

As we all know, in the 80s, our country fought a heroic self-defense counterattack in southern Xinjiang. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. Any aggressor who dares to violate the interests of our country and the nation will pay the price in blood. A war, as long as a war is fought, will inevitably be accompanied by a large number of veterans who are disabled due to disability. These disabled veterans are all wounded and sick to protect their families and the country, and the country naturally has the responsibility and obligation to ensure these In the future life of disabled veterans, when it comes to the specific implementation link, this part of the responsibility falls on local governments at all levels, so local governments at all levels are under great pressure to place veterans, especially disabled veterans!

The pressure is not only reflected in the placement of jobs for these retired and disabled soldiers, but also a good enough job for them. The whole country and society are vigorously promoting our heroic people's army. If the local government cannot give us The disabled veterans who died of bloody sacrifices are arranged a good job that is enough for the rest of their lives, doesn't it make our soldiers shed blood and tears?
I really did this, and the people resolutely refused to agree!

The Air Compressor Factory of the Municipal Industrial Bureau was established under this circumstance, and its original intention and sole purpose was to accommodate those veterans and disabled soldiers.

This move of the old director is of course in line with the mainstream values ​​of the society, so this move was not only reported by the media as a model for the placement of veterans and disabled soldiers, but also the old director was promoted by virtue of this political achievement. He has become the deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee, but he has suffered from latecomers.

Why do you say that?

Because the air compressor factory run by the old director does not produce any air compressors with special technical content, but the most common small piston type with 220V civil electricity, power of 0.8KW and pressure of only 0.75Mpa Double-cylinder air compressors can only be used in roadside auto repair shops or bicycle and motorcycle repair shops, and there is only one such product.

In this way, the problem arises, because the technical content of this kind of air compressor is too low. No one can count how many units can produce this kind of air compressor in the whole country. It was established in the air compressor factory. In the first year, relying on the slogan of "replacement of veterans and disabled soldiers", the air compressor factory achieved some economic benefits, but from the second year onwards, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the air compressors produced could no longer be sold. Moved.

There are many reasons why it cannot be sold. The main reason is the high price and quality. When the old director introduced this air compressor, he only introduced this product, and did not establish a R&D and quality management system for the factory. There was no R&D and quality. Management system, the factory naturally has no ability to improve product quality and reduce product cost, but because of the "example" effect of the air compressor factory, the final result is that the workers of the air compressor factory become the "non-staff workers of the Industrial Bureau." ”: The kind that doesn’t need to work and can still get a salary every month – the reason why you don’t need to work is because as long as you work, you have to spend money to buy raw materials, and the air compressors produced cannot be sold, which is equivalent to The money is wasted, and in this case, it is better to stop the factory.

At first glance, it seems like a good thing for factories to shut down and still get money.

But in fact, that's not the case at all. The Industrial Bureau has so many mouths up and down waiting to eat, how can it be possible to pay full salaries to the employees of the air compressor factory?The workers were paid only 70 yuan a month, barely starving to death.

In such a factory, one can imagine what the state of the workers is like.

It is not that the Bureau of Industry has never thought about revitalizing the air compressor factory. After all, the air compressor factory used to be a signboard and a business card of the Bureau of Industry. However, the actual situation backfired. Two factory directors, but none of them can turn the situation around, plus all the veterans and disabled veterans who work in the air compressor factory are too sensitive - once you do something inappropriate , is known by the troops, do you know how much trouble and passive it will bring to the place?
The result is that from 1990 to today, the air compressor factory has been in such a wonderful state: there is no production task, and no more people are recruited. The Industrial Bureau pays everyone's wages every month, but everyone's wages are only more than 70. In today's 90s, this salary can only guarantee that you will not starve to death...

After sorting out the situation of the air compressor factory one by one, Zhang Qihang also came to the air compressor factory in the suburbs.

When Zhang Qihang turned the handlebars and was about to ride directly into the yard, a loud shout came from the guard room at the door: "Stop! Stop, what are you doing?"

Hearing this loud shout, Zhang Qihang couldn't help laughing: It's really... the exact same greeting.

"Hello comrade, I'm from our regional industrial bureau," Zhang Qihang stopped the car and said to the 30-year-old uncle in the guard room while propping up the car: "The bureau's leaders have been thinking about our factory. , let me find out."

"Are you from the Bureau of Industry?" The uncle guard looked at Zhang Qihang with a suspicious look on his face: "Do you have a work permit?"

"Yes," Zhang Qihang said, took out his work card and handed it to the other party, and asked with a smile, "This eldest brother, what is your surname?"

"What is expensive or not, you can just call me Lao Wang... Are you really from the Industrial Bureau?" Looking at Zhang Qihang's work permit, Comrade Lao Wang was a little surprised, but in addition to his surprise, he confirmed Zhang Qihang's identity After that, he was more excited: "Comrade Zhang Qihang, what is the bureau going to do this time?"

"Brother Wang, I just came to understand the situation in our factory first, and I also told you on behalf of the leaders in the bureau. Please rest assured, the bureau has never forgotten you, and it is even more impossible to leave you alone without asking. But how to do it specifically, the leaders have to read my report and then analyze it..." Speaking of which, Zhang Qihang looked at Pharaoh and said, "Brother Wang, you should be very clear about the situation of our unit. The leaders in the bureau feel that this time, there is absolutely no more tossing, and it is necessary to ensure that the medicine will cure the disease, so they must be more cautious, do you think it makes sense?"

"Yes," Zhang Qihang kept talking about the leader, and really stunned Old Wang, he nodded repeatedly: "Comrade Zhang, you are right, the situation in our factory really can't be messed up any more. I'll give you a work permit, so hurry in."

"It's not in a hurry," Zhang Qihang said, took out the white lotus cigarette in his pocket, and handed it to Lao Wang: "Brother Wang, let me ask, our factory has been shut down for so long, and it costs 70 yuan a month. It's been a tough time, isn't it?"

Lao Wang was not polite to Zhang Qihang, he took the cigarette that Zhang Qihang handed over, picked up the cigarette lighter on the table and lit it.

It was also at this time that Zhang Qihang noticed that Old Wang's left forearm had disappeared from the lower elbow, exactly as he remembered.

Seeing Pharaoh's left arm without his forearm, he then remembered why Pharaoh became a doorman: because he was knocked off by the enemy's machine gun in the self-defense counterattack. Although there was no problem walking, he went out. It would be a hassle to work part-time, so everyone simply let Lao Wang watch the door.

After Meimei took a sip, Lao Wang slapped his thigh: "Who said no, now the price is so high, what can you do with 70 yuan, this leader, you should also know the situation of our factory, there are many Comrades are all short of arms and legs, how can life not be tight?"

It is said that these words cannot be said to outsiders casually. Since Zhang Qihang is the person sent by the higher authorities to understand the situation, Lao Wang has no worries. Xiao Zhang is not an outsider.

"That's right, what are everyone busy doing now?" Zhang Qihang then asked, "I can't just stay at home all day long, can I?"

"That can't be!" Old Wang hurriedly waved his hand: "Anyway, we are also people educated by the party and the army. Even if we return to the place, we can't be a waste and a scumbag. We can't afford to lose that person! Although there is no such thing for the time being. The production task is completed, but everyone is not idle, many people set up a small stall outside, do small odd jobs, etc., to subsidize their households.”

Zhang Qihang picked up his thumb and praised: "Sure enough, he was a soldier. Our unit is different from those units that cannot support the wall with mud! By the way, if I want to have a comprehensive understanding of the situation of our factory, I should go to Who are you looking for?"

When Lao Wang heard this, he frowned and was a little embarrassed: "A few factory leaders are not there."

"Is that so, then brother Wang, will you take me around?"

"That's okay," Old Wang hesitated for a while, then nodded: "What do you want to see?"

"I just went to our workshop and warehouse to see how the factory building and equipment are maintained. The other is to chat with everyone about how our factory should go in the future, and what everyone has in mind," said At this point, Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "By the way, Brother Wang, although we have temporarily stopped production, the equipment was not left there and fell into dust, right?"

"That's not possible," said the expression on Old Wang's face, whether it was proud or sad: "Although our factory has temporarily stopped production, we can't embarrass the troops. We have all the production equipment, raw materials and inventory. Once the preservation process is done, as long as there is a production plan, we can start work immediately.”

"It's good, it's good, it's all good."

Zhang Qihang nodded again and again, but sighed in his heart: If it were left in the era of planned economy, this would be a team capable of fighting well, but unfortunately, it is a market economy now...

"That's not right," Old Wang said while locking the door, his face full of pride: "We can't be ashamed of our uniforms!"

"Yeah," Zhang Qihang glanced at Old Wang's empty left arm, his heart moved, and asked, "Brother Wang, what do you think is the biggest problem in our factory? How to solve it?"

"Ah?" Hearing Zhang Qihang's question, Old Wang was stunned for a moment, and the whole person was a little confused: "I think the problem of our factory... is that the air compressors produced cannot be sold, as long as they can be sold. Go, the factory will come alive soon? As for how to solve this problem, isn't that something the leaders need to consider?"

That's right, Zhang Qihang heard it suddenly: These people in the air compressor factory are used to the way of the army. What is the tradition of the army?Obey orders and follow orders. Soldiers want to fight, so they can't have too many personal thoughts. Just give an order, and follow the order to rush up to be a qualified and good soldier.

But the problem is that a good soldier is more troublesome in a modern enterprise. If it is just an ordinary worker, that's fine, but if the leader of the factory also thinks like this, it will be bad.

Despite this thought, Zhang Qihang didn't show it on his face, and nodded, "This is also... Brother Wang, since our air compressors can't be sold, the leaders didn't think about producing anything else?"

"Produce anything else?" Lao Wang frowned, a little confused: "But we are an air compressor factory, what else can an air compressor factory produce if it doesn't produce air compressors? Besides, besides producing air compressors, We won't produce other things, unless the bureau introduces new products to our factory,"

Speaking of this, Old Wang shook his head again and again: "But how much will it cost? It is absolutely impossible for the bureau to give us this money."

Zhang Qihang nodded secretly, and then asked: "So, brother Wang, do other comrades in our factory think the same as you?"

"It should be about the same."

Pharaoh said so, but his tone was extraordinarily certain: That's it.

Become!

Seeing the appearance of Lao Wang, Zhang Qihang knew in his heart: the situation of the entire air compressor factory was similar to what he remembered. There is a group of qualified soldiers, but a qualified commander is lacking.
