Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 82 Common Faults of State-Owned Enterprises
In the eyes of outsiders, the arsenal is very mysterious and belongs to a confidential unit. The actual situation is still somewhat different from what everyone imagined.The vast majority of arsenals produce things that are not of great confidentiality value, such as firearms, ammunition, etc. These things have no technical content, so naturally they cannot be considered confidential.

This is the case with the 311 factory, which mainly produces three things: gun barrels, gun barrels and cylinders for diesel engines.The technical level of these three things is far behind that of Western countries, so there are no excessive requirements in terms of technical secrecy.

But this is the current situation. When the 311 factory was first relocated to Aoshan Town, the secrecy was still very strict, and none of the local people knew what the factory was for.At that time, the national security was seriously threatened, and the higher authorities had to relocate many factories originally established in big cities to deep mountains and old forests.This is mainly to preserve the vitality when a war breaks out.

Later, with the resolution of the crisis, Factory 311 became less mysterious, and everyone around knew what this factory produced.Whether it is a gun barrel or a gun barrel, the common people have no interest. Over time, the 311 factory has lost its mysterious shell and is regarded by the locals as an ordinary state-owned factory.

"Master, how many production workshops are there in the factory?"

Although it is not the first time for Niu Xiaoqiang to enter the factory area, he has only been to the waste warehouse with Fang Dongping before, and has never stepped into the production workshop, so he is very curious about the situation in this regard.

"There are six production workshops in total, and each workshop has three production teams, three of which are dedicated to making gun barrels, two workshops are dedicated to making gun barrels, and one workshop is dedicated to producing cylinders for diesel engines."

"Which workshop are we going to?"

"Let's go to the third workshop. There is a fax machine in the workshop office over there. I want to borrow it."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and stopped talking. After a group of five people walked into the third workshop, the first thing they saw was hundreds of machine tools lined up neatly.These machine tools have been sealed with plastic film, looking a little bleak.

Niu Xiaoqiang scanned around and found that the production line next door was empty. He couldn't help asking: "Master, why is there no machine tool installed here?"

Fang Dongping sighed: "Over there is the site of the second production team of the third workshop, which was originally filled with machine tools like the first production team we see now, but because the factory's economy is too difficult, it has to be replaced. The equipment was sold."

It was only then that Niu Xiaoqiang remembered the sale of equipment in the arsenal some time ago. He paused and asked, "I heard that the factory is building a dormitory for the workers. If it is really poor enough to sell the equipment, where will the money come from?" What about repairing the dormitory?"

Fang Dongping smiled helplessly: "If you don't have money, you have to eat, right? There are so many unmarried young people in the factory, if they are not settled properly, what will happen if they start to make trouble? In fact, most of the money from selling machine tools last time was used to build dormitory buildings. But it was still not enough. Later, the factory leader put forward a proposal to raise funds, saying that as long as anyone is willing to contribute 500 yuan, the dormitory allocated in the future will belong to him personally. If it is not because of this, I am afraid that the dormitory building will not be built get up."

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but think of the information he had learned about the company's restructuring and production change from extracurricular reading materials. He asked: "Master, since the factory has encountered such a big difficulty, why don't we think of a way to change production? With so many equipment in the factory And skilled workers, the production of other industrial products should not be a big problem, right?"

"Some factory leaders had the idea of ​​changing production, but firstly, they lacked funds for transformation, and secondly, they were not familiar with the market conditions. They discussed several times without any results, and then they let it go."

Fang Dongping lowered his voice when he said this: "Actually, the reason why there is no follow-up is mainly related to the conservative thinking of some factory leaders. They think it's better to wait for the funds from above to issue documents before taking action, otherwise the factory will collapse. No one can take this responsibility."

Niu Xiaoqiang understood it as soon as he heard it. In fact, this is a common problem of most state-owned enterprises. They rely on money and policies from their superiors for everything they do.As the leaders of state-owned enterprises, their ideas are very conservative, and they would rather sit and wait for death than carry out reforms easily.Otherwise, if they fail, they may bear joint and several liabilities.If you just sit and wait to die, the collapse of the factory has little to do with them, and the higher-ups will not pursue it. This sounds somewhat absurd, but it is the truth.

Niu Xiaoqiang came to such a conclusion based on the situation he had learned: Now that the country is engaged in economic construction, everyone is eager to spend money. If it is not an important unit with strategic value, it is impossible for the superior to support it. Factory 311 happens to be It belongs to the ranks of less important enterprises, so it is very likely that the factory leaders will not wait for funds and policies in the end, but death.

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head slightly thinking of this, and said to himself: From this point of view, it is estimated that the country will soon usher in a wave of bankruptcies, and by that time, it will be too late to think about reform.

He no longer has any hope for the 311 factory, and feels that his idea of ​​opening a factory is very correct.If you continue to hold on to the idea of ​​becoming an employee of a state-owned enterprise in the 311 factory after graduation, the end result will probably be a waste of work. As for the iron rice bowl that parents expect, it may not be as strong as paper.

Since this is the first time for Niu Xiaoqiang and others to enter the production workshop, Fang Dongping took a group of people around the workshop to let them understand the general environment, and then Fang Dongping pointed to a machine tool in the corner : "Xiaoqiang, you are here to teach the three of them to familiarize themselves with the machine tool. I will go to the office to receive the documents. After I review the drawings transmitted by the other party, I will call you to help."

Niu Xiaoqiang asked for instructions: "Master, can I start teaching later?"

Fang Dongping looked at the door of the workshop, and nodded after hesitating for a moment: "You can turn it on, but first of all, you must pay attention to safety, and then remember to close the door of the workshop, otherwise it will not be good if others see it."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "No problem, you can go to work, I will pay attention."

Fang Dongping was still very relieved of Niu Xiaoqiang, he hummed, turned and walked into the workshop office.

Niu Xiaoqiang uncovered the plastic film covering the machine tool, and said to Niu Xiaodong and the others: "Next, I will teach you how to operate a machine tool correctly, but before that, I need to explain this machine tool to you first. The structure and working principle, if anyone wants to ask questions, they can directly raise their hands in the middle without any worries."
