Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 88
This was the first time Niu Xiaoqiang took a ship in his life, and it was also the first time he went to the city.In the past, he had only been to the county seat as far as possible.

Since the ferry only departs at [-]:[-] a.m. every day, the two of them dared not neglect and walked in a hurry on the road.After getting on the ferry, Niu Xiaoqiang asked about the situation: "Master, is Sanyang Tractor Factory a state-run unit or a private unit?"

Fang Dongping took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff before replying: "It used to be a state-owned unit, but later the city carried out pilot reforms, which changed the nature of the unit into a semi-state-run semi-private unit."

"What is the size of this factory?"

"It used to be quite large, with more than 3000 employees at the peak. Later, due to frequent quality problems, the efficiency declined year by year. It is said that there are only a few hundred people left. This factory is used as a pilot unit for reform. The new factory leaders are more enterprising. They feel that the reputation of the old products in the past is bad, and it will definitely not work if they continue to follow the old path. Open up the market with new products."

Niu Xiaoqiang let out an oh and stopped talking, took out books from the cloth bag he was carrying and started to study.Now Niu Xiaoqiang will study by himself whenever he has time, because only in this way can he finish Fang Dongping's courses faster and prepare for opening a factory in the future.

Fang Dongping was very satisfied with Niu Xiaoqiang's hard work, so he didn't bother Niu Xiaoqiang, and sat beside him smoking a cigarette silently.

"Hey, isn't this Fang Gong? It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Fang Dongping turned his head to look, and then showed a look of astonishment: "Old Liu, why did you come here?"

The person talking to Fang Dongping was a little old man wearing glasses. Niu Xiaoqiang glanced at him and felt that this person had the posture of an official.

Lao Liu sat next to Fang Dongping, and several people who followed him sat in the surrounding vacant seats.He put his black handbag on his lap, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Fang Dongping: "Fang Gong, I'm here to discuss cooperation with your factory. There is no way."

What Lao Liu took out was Zhonghua, which is considered to be a top-notch smoke at the moment.Niu Xiaoqiang had only heard his father mention it before, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.Since Lao Liu can afford such good cigarettes, he must have a strong background.

Sure enough, Fang Dongping revealed Lao Liu's identity with a smile: "Lao Liu, I remember that your factory's profits are quite good, you, the factory manager, delivered goods to Iraq last time, why did you complain so quickly? "

Lao Liu lowered his voice and said, "It is precisely because I have been to Iraq that I want to cooperate with your factory."

Fang Dongping was a little curious: "How do you say that?"

Lao Liu lowered his voice: "The last time I went to Iraq, I mainly wanted to communicate with customers to see if they had any comments on our products, but they told me unceremoniously that our engines were not powerful enough. , it seemed a little powerless under full load. I thought about it in my heart at the time, and felt that this matter cannot be solved by one factory. We can only hope that all the supporting factories will unite to carry out technical research. Your 311 factory It is a part of it, so I will come here to negotiate in person."

When he said this, he changed the subject: "Actually, I don't value your factory very much. The only one I value is your worker. If you want to, just go to our factory. I will definitely give you the best salary in terms of treatment." .”

Fang Dongping smiled and waved his hands: "Old Liu, thank you for your kindness. I am getting older, and my energy and motivation are not as good as before. In addition, I haven't tinkered with diesel engines for so many years. I have long forgotten the old foundations. It's gone."

Lao Liu sighed: "Look at what you said, I don't need you to fight in person, just help me lead my apprentice. I came to 311 factory this time and met your apprentice Niu Xiaogang. He is really good. If it weren't for Director Chen Said that Niu Xiaogang is his son-in-law, I want to poach him away!"

Fang Dongping heard this and asked such a question: "Have you already negotiated a cooperation intention with Factory 311?"

Lao Liu nodded: "Yes, I have already signed the contract."

Fang Dongping smiled wryly and shook his head: "Old Liu, you have fallen into the pit this time."

Now it was Lao Liu's turn to be curious: "How do you say that?"

"It's very simple. The 311 factory currently doesn't have the technical conditions to develop diesel engines. The most important thing is the lack of technical personnel in this area. Even my apprentice Niu Xiaogang is not very good at this area. If you don't believe me, let's go. Look, it is impossible for Factory 311 to complete the contract."

Lao Liu showed a look of surprise: "Fang Gong, Niu Xiaogang is your apprentice, it's fine if you don't speak good things for him, how can you say bad things about him?"

Fang Dongping said seriously: "Because I am his master, I know more about how much he weighs. If it is mechanical maintenance or machine tool operation, Niu Xiaogang is definitely a good hand, but when it comes to technology development, he is a master." Not qualified at all, Lao Liu, you know that I will never tell lies, if you listen to my advice, go back and cancel the cooperation agreement, otherwise you must be the one who regrets it."

Lao Liu has known Fang Dongping for more than 20 years. He knows Fang Dongping's personality very well. He knows that Fang Dongping never speaks out loud. Since he reminded him kindly, he has to pay attention to it.

After hesitating for a moment, Lao Liu stood up and said, "I listen to you, I'll go back and cancel the cooperation."

Several people who boarded the boat with Lao Liu immediately followed after seeing this, and when they got off the boat, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but ask: "Master, is this Lao Liu the director of that factory? China is really rich."

Fang Dongping looked at the Zhonghua cigarettes in his hand, and said with a chuckle, "It's not that he bought them with his own money. They are regarded as hospitality cigarettes in the factory, and it has nothing to do with whether he has money or not."

Fang Dongping looked at the backs of Lao Liu and his group at this point, and then said: "Lao Liu is the director of Baotou Yiji. This person is quite capable, unlike our factory director Chen, who has no aggressiveness at all. .”

A big question mark appeared on Niu Xiaoqiang's forehead: "What kind of factory is Baotou Yiji?"

"Baotou Yiji is an abbreviation. The full name is NMG Baotou No. [-] Machinery Factory. They make tanks. The diesel engine cylinders processed by our factory are the supporting parts for them."

Only then did Niu Xiaoqiang understand, "So that's what happened, Master, don't you have the design drawings of the diesel engine in your hand? Why didn't you tell the truth just now?"

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation tickets, bow and thank you!
