Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 618
Faced with Yan Bugui's advice, Xu Damao naturally scoffed.

Last night, after Secretary Huang accepted his little yellow croaker, he promised with a big chest that the approval for Xu Damao's appointment as the leader of the Ordnance Institute would be processed immediately.

After Da Mao, we will be leaders.

As a leader, how can you not drink alcohol?
"Third Master, you are just jealous of me!" Xu Damao waved his hands and said, "Tell me, how much will each family have to pay for Yi Zhonghai's banquet this time?"

Yan Bugui had an enmity with Xu Damao in the first place, but seeing that Xu Damao didn't listen to persuasion, he didn't say anything more.

He stretched out his finger and shook it: "1 yuan!"

"Okay, it's worth it to spend a dollar to watch a big show."

Xu Damao simply and neatly took out 1 yuan from his pocket and handed it over, then turned and entered the courtyard.

He has to go back quickly to catch up on sleep.

It was almost noon when Wang Weidong returned to the courtyard.

Yan Bugui saw Wang Weidong walking towards this side, and stood up in surprise: "Master, why are you back?"

Residents of the courtyard have heard about it, and the grandpa of the courtyard sees that he is now cooperating with the telephone company to produce a telephone that does not use telephone lines.

It is said that this project has been designated as a key project by the ministries and commissions. Once the pilot project in the capital is successful, it will be promoted to the whole country.

It can be said that the importance of this project has surpassed everyone's imagination.

As the person in charge of the project, Wang Weidong should have been very busy at this time, so how could he have the time to take care of the courtyard house!

Wang Weidong chuckled, walked up to Yan Bugui, took out a dollar from his pocket, and handed it over.

"I heard that Yi Zhonghai in our courtyard is going to adopt a son. I haven't seen this kind of thing before. I came here to observe it. It's an eye-opener."

"Hehe." Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly, yes, Yi Zhonghai did something new this time.

Just as Wang Weidong was about to enter the courtyard, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Yan Bugui.

"Old Yan, those bastards are still staring at sticks?"

Mentioning this, Yan Bugui got a little angry and slammed the table.

"Who says no! Every morning when I go out, I can see two young people standing under the old camphor tree opposite. They look like good things. I am worried that they will hurt other residents. Come out, who would have thought that those two people would indeed disappear the next day, but two new faces appeared again."

"It seems that Banggan has completely annoyed those people this time, and they insist on taking it out on him."

"Now the stick is hiding in the compound, and he dare not go out at all."

Hearing this, Wang Weidong nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

"Master, I know you have many ways, or you can find a way to drive those people away."

Looking at Wang Weidong, Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, he pursed his lips, and said timidly.

Wang Weidong frowned, pulled out his hands in his sleeves, and said in a cold voice: "Old Yan, he only targeted the sticks, and it has nothing to do with us. Besides, shouldn't sticks be punished for those bastard things that sticks did?" ?”

"That's the way it is said, but the stick is a child in our compound after all, even if he made a mistake, we should protect him."

"Look, third master, it's your attitude that made Bang Gon what he is now. Every time he makes a mistake, you cover it up for him in every possible way. He has lost his fear, and now he has finally provoked him." disaster."

After Wang Weidong finished speaking, he turned his head and entered the courtyard without looking at Yan Bugui.

Looking at Wang Weidong's figure, Yan Bugui curled his lips: "What, how did it become our fault, we call it caring comrades!"

Because a banquet was going to be held, when Wang Weidong entered the courtyard, the courtyard was already full of tables.

There are various tables, including square tables and long tables.

The color is also different, some of the vermilion paint is mottled, and some are brand new. It is obvious that these tables were moved from the residents' homes.

A few children of the Yan family and a few women in the compound were squatting in front of the big pot to light the fire.

To Wang Weidong's surprise, he saw Nan Yi stir frying in a large iron pot with a large spoon, and he was so tired that he was out of breath.

Wasn't this guy played by Yan Pugui a while ago?Why come to join in the fun.

(When Yan Jiecheng and Huang Xiaocui got married, it was Nan Yi who came to help with the banquet. As a result, Yan Bugui played a trick and made Nan Yi busy for nothing.)
Just as he was thinking, Nan Yi raised his head and saw Wang Weidong, put down the spoon in his hand and ran over.

"Director Liu, you are back."

Wang Weidong pointed to the dishes on the chopping board, frowned and asked, "Nanyi, what's the matter? Are you afraid that Yan Pugui will repeat his old tricks this time?"

"Heh, Director Liu, you don't know something. This year's life is too difficult. Our rolling mill has not paid full wages for more than half a year. The situation in the machinery factory where my daughter-in-law works is even worse. Up to ten yuan for living expenses."

Mentioning this matter, Nanyi showed embarrassment on his face, and explained in a low voice: "You may not know the situation of my family. There are four children in my family. The eldest, second, and third are all in school. Every semester The tuition and miscellaneous fees are not small, and the third child is not in good health and often has to go to the hospital."

"The wages of Liang Ladi and I are not enough to cover expenses at all."

"In the past, I could do some private work and earn some extra money."

"However, the big guy hasn't even had enough to eat in the past two years, so how can he hire a cook to cook?"

"There is really no way, so I took this job."

Wang Weidong knew for a long time that the rolling mill and machinery factory were in poor condition, but he didn't expect that they couldn't even pay wages now.

Presumably, in the original book, the deputy factory manager Li put the deputy factory manager inappropriately, and went to sea to compete with the group of businessmen. It can be seen that the rolling mill has reached the point where it is half dead.

Looking at the factory manager Yang, who was sitting in the center of the crowd, talking eloquently, his high-spirited appearance attracted the praise of the factory leaders and the awe-inspiring eyes of the surrounding residents.

Wang Weidong smiled wryly and shook his head.

Director Yang is a man of righteous thinking. He has the courage to fight against speculators like Deputy Director Li. He once made an irreplaceable contribution to the rolling mill at a critical moment.

but.

He is not a man of noble character and integrity as many people think.

Factory Manager Yang prides himself on being honest and honest, but in order to satisfy his own appetite, he reuses Shazhu, and often asks Shazhu to give small lectures to the leaders in the small cafeteria.

In order to curry favor with the big leader, he personally took Shazhu to cook for the big leader.

At the wine table, those flattering words were even more explicit than Deputy Director Li.

From this point of view, it is a complete joke that Director Yang keeps saying that he will always stand with the workers.

If Deputy Director Li is a real villain, Director Yang is a hypocrite.

In particular, this hypocrite still lacks the ability of deputy director Li to handle affairs.

Since Deputy Director Li was caught in the fence for allegedly stealing the secrets of the Orchid Lab, Director Yang has monopolized power in the rolling mill.

After several years of unremitting efforts, he finally dried up a key factory.

Because the Lanhua Automobile Factory needs to use high-quality steel to produce cars, Wang Weidong often has to deal with several large domestic steel factories.

While chatting together, I also heard about the deeds of Director Yang over the years.

For example, in order to bring into play the spirit of hard work of the workers, they refused to apply to the ministries and commissions for new machinery factory equipment.

For example, in order to achieve equality for everyone, one size fits all in the workshop, performance-based wages are canceled, and all workers receive the same wages regardless of their positions.

For example, workers spend more than half of their time in so-called study classes every day.

In this way, the production efficiency of the rolling mill decreased year by year. Later, with the construction of several large rolling mills in China, Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant was canceled a large number of orders by the ministries and commissions because of the aging equipment and the quality of the rolled steel products produced was not up to standard.

Although Director Yang also obtained some scattered orders through the relationship of the big leaders, the rolling mill has more than 1 workers, and that order cannot meet the needs of the rolling mill at all.

Next, the workshop stopped production and the workers stopped working.

Without orders, the ministries and commissions can only provide a small amount of subsidies to the rolling mills, which is not even enough for workers' wages.

Therefore, the factory manager Yang advocated that the workers should face the difficulties together with the factory, and encouraged the workers not to receive wages, and the factory leaders received half of the wages.

The workers have to rely on those wages to support their families, and their stomachs cannot be filled with a few empty words, so they naturally disagree with this plan.

Although factory manager Yang angrily reprimanded the workers for their lack of ideological awareness, he could only make concessions in the face of the turbulent workers. He canceled the small cafeteria, used the funds for entertaining the superiors, and paid half of the wages for the workers.

"Yesterday I attended a meeting of the ministries and commissions. At the meeting, the big leaders personally praised our rolling mill and me as the factory manager, saying that we have done a good job in ideological work."

Among the crowd, Director Yang was talking about his achievements passionately and generously, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Hey, that seems to be Liu Hongchang, the director of the Lanhua Automobile Factory, why is he here?"

Director Yang looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Are you friends with Director Liu?"

"It's like this. Director Liu is the uncle of our courtyard." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"So that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier! Now our steel rolling mill is short of orders. Lanhua Automobile Factory is the largest automobile factory in China, and it needs countless rolled steel products every year. If we can build a relationship with Director Liu, our workers Maybe the wages from my salary can be paid out.”

While talking, Director Yang sighed: "Look, it's easy for me to be the director of the factory."

The crowd onlookers naturally gave a thumbs up, and then offered a bunch of rainbow farts.

Director Yang nodded in satisfaction, then stood up and walked towards Wang Weidong with a smile.

"Hey, Director Liu, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Director Yang, long time no see." Wang Weidong nodded with a smile.

"Come on, let's sit here."

At this time, Director Yang's secretary had moved two chairs with a wink, put them under the eaves, and used his eyes to drive away the residents surrounding them.

"Rang Rang, the leader is talking, you all hide aside."

Seeing this scene, the residents felt a burst of sadness in their hearts.

As the factory director of Lanhua Automobile Factory, Wang Weidong is higher than Director Yang in terms of fame and official position.

However, Wang Weidong never shows off in front of the residents.

Unlike Director Yang, who always judges people by their nostrils.

Comparing the two, they are superior and inferior.

A few thorny heads were not happy at the time, and they were going to talk to Director Yang.

As the owner, Yi Zhonghai became anxious, and hurried up to stop them: "Big Liu, Xiao Zhang, please save face, that is the director of our rolling mill, at the hall level."

"What's the matter at the main hall level? Look at the factory manager Liu, he is more famous than Yang. He has never kicked anyone out."

Seeing that the prickly heads were not cooperating, Yi Zhonghai almost burst into tears.

He is too aware of Director Yang's temper.

Factory Manager Yang always puts on an honest and honest appearance in front of outsiders, but he is actually a small-minded person.

If you offend him today, maybe at any time, I will put on a pair of small shoes for you.

"Okay, okay, give me some face today, okay?"

"Okay, you have to remember this favor."

"Of course, don't worry, I'll toast you a few more glasses of wine later."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai like this, those thorny heads didn't say much.

Yi Zhonghai trotted all the way to Factory Manager Yang, nodded and bowed his head: "Factory Manager, it has been emptied, and those ordinary people will not disturb the factory manager when you talk to the uncle."

"Well, you did a good job with that."

Director Yang praised Yi Zhonghai for a few words, and stretched out his hand to invite Wang Weidong to the chair.

Yi Zhonghai quickly asked his aunt to bring him some tea, of course the tea was not Gao Sui, but the West Lake Longjing that Yi Zhonghai had treasured for several years.

Xu Damao, who was in the crowd, saw Wang Weidong holding a teacup, sipping in front of Director Yang, nodding his head from time to time, and responding to Director Yang, which made Director Yang smile with joy, and he couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

"It can make Director Yang willing to become the third grandson. This is the real power of Director Liu."

Xu Damao was extremely envious, and secretly made up his mind that even if he lost his fortune this time, he would become the leader of the Ordnance Research Institute.

In fact, what Xu Damao didn't know was that at this moment, Wang Weidong regretted going back to the courtyard.

The reason is that just now Director Yang made a straightforward request. He hoped that Lanhua Automobile Factory could purchase a large number of rolled steel products from the rolling mill.

Seeing that Wang Weidong remained silent, Director Yang became a little anxious.

"Director Liu, our rolling mill is a large state-owned factory, and the quality of the products we produce must be guaranteed. Besides, if you agree, it will be for the benefit of more than 1 workers in our rolling mill. Those workers will definitely think of you the benefits of."

"Director Liu, I've heard about your integrity for a long time. You will definitely not refuse this small request from our rolling mill."

Tsk tsk, moral kidnapping starts at the slightest disagreement, why do people in this era like to play this game.

It is a pity that Wang Weidong has long been immune to moral kidnapping after experiencing so many things in the courtyard.

He put down the enamel jar and smiled: "Director Yang, there is something wrong with what you said just now. I am the director of the Lanhua Automobile Factory, and I am only responsible for the workers of our Lanhua Automobile Factory. As for the workers in your rolling mill, they are not And you, a good factory manager?"
