Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 22

Walking into the office, Wang Weidong gently put the carton on the desk, and Liu Jianguo took out the blueprint of the radio and put it on the desk as well.

Sitting down, Factory Manager Shi picked up the blueprint and took a look at it, and immediately showed a smile on his face.

"I heard from my father that Director Shi was a talented student who studied in the Soviet Union in the 50s. Looking at such a simple drawing is like looking at a child's toy. But the simpler the structure, the easier it is to produce, the lower the production cost, and the lower the selling price. Don't the masses just need such radios?" Wang Weidong said with a smile.

Factory Manager Shi smiled and nodded: "What you said makes sense!"

"Show it to Director Shi." Wang Weidong said to Liu Jianguo.

Liu Jianguo opened the carton to reveal the radio components scattered inside.

He turned the switch, and immediately a loud voice came from the speaker.

Now is the time for the rebroadcast of provincial and TV news. This year's harvest of grain in Heilongjiang Province is worthy of the title of North Dacang.

"Not bad, not bad!" Director Shi nodded and said.

"To tell the truth from the leader, this radio only has a frequency band of medium wave, and there are only four or five stations that can be heard clearly, but I think it is enough." Wang Weidong said.

Factory Manager Shi nodded again.

"This radio doesn't have a name yet. We are both low-educated and can't think of a good name. Now we have to ask Director Shi to come up with a good name for it!" Wang Weidong continued.

Factory Manager Shi looked at Wang Weidong with a smile, and the boy asked himself to name the radio before even mentioning the establishment of the radio factory!
"I'll name the radio after the leaders of the factory discuss and make a decision. First, tell me what are your plans for this factory?" Director Shi asked.

"I calculated that there are more than 40 disabled people who are not working in our factory, but there should be no more than 18 people who can come. In order to take care of disabled families, the factory subsidizes 18 yuan a month for each person. If you work in the factory The 30 yuan for living will be gone. If the salary is more than [-] yuan, then it is equivalent to earning more than ten yuan for a month, and many people will definitely not want to come." Wang Weidong said.

Factory Manager Shi nodded frequently and asked Liu Jianguo, who was on crutches, "Why do you want to come out to work?"

"It's self-supporting. I feel sorry for relying on the factory to support my parents." Liu Jianguo replied.

"Okay, that's the right way to think about it! This is a young man with ideals and aspirations." Director Shi said.

"You two go back first, this matter will be discussed at the factory meeting, you go back and wait for the news." Director Shi said.

Wang Weidong held the paper box and bid farewell to Director Shi and walked out of the office with Liu Jianguo.

Then Wang Weidong began to wait anxiously.

Wang Jinjin couldn't forget Qu Xiaomei's slender figure since that blind date. He ignored Li Yufeng's objection and secretly contacted Qu Xiaomei. The two went for a walk on the hill outside the factory and were discovered by the people inside the factory.

Li Yufeng was so angry when he heard about this incident, and when he returned home and saw his son, he said angrily, "You stinky shameless person, I've made you lose all my face! Don't ever see that Qu Xiaomei again!"

Wang Jinjin bowed his head and didn't speak. The method of silent warfare is an ancestral tradition of the old Wang's family. He intends to fight until his mother succumbs.

"I've already inquired. Qu Xiaomei's father in the factory is actually his uncle. Her biological parents are still in the countryside. Her uncle has no children. Qu Xiaomei was adopted by her uncle when she was a teenager. The social relationship is so There will be a lot of complicated and troublesome things in the future!" Li Yufeng said.

Wang Jinjin didn't say a word, as long as Qu Xiaomei was pretty, he didn't care about other things.

After waiting for more than 20 days, news finally came out that the factory leadership office meeting decided to set up a radio factory for the disabled with a staff of 50 people, and planned to send a department-level cadre to manage the factory.

After Wang Weidong heard the news, he felt very uncomfortable. After so long, he finally had nothing to do with him. At most, he would work as an ordinary worker in this factory, but he was not disabled.

The factory office posted notices, informing all those with disabled youths who were unemployed at home to register at the factory office.

But just like what Wang Weidong told Factory Manager Shi, most disabled youths and their parents would rather work at home and receive a monthly subsidy of 18 yuan than go to work in the factory and get more than 30 yuan.

In the end, there were only seven people who signed up, including Liu Jianguo.

The matter of dispatching cadres has also encountered troubles. No cadres are willing to lead such a small handicapped factory.

As a cadre in the factory, the deputy section chief is promoted to section chief, and the section chief is promoted to deputy director. There are normal promotion channels.But how can I be promoted after arriving in this small factory for the disabled?
After another half a month, someone informed Wang Weidong to meet with the deputy director Fang who was in charge of the factory-run enterprise.

Seeing Wang Weidong walk into the office, Deputy Director Fang greeted him affectionately: "Weidong, sit down. Your business is finally settled!"

"Thank you Uncle Fang, I've troubled you too much!" Wang Weidong said gratefully.

"Hey, your grandfather is my master, don't talk nonsense!" Fang Huawen said.

After talking about feelings, let's talk about serious things.

Fang Huawen raised his face and said: "After the factory leaders negotiated, you will be in charge of this factory, Weidong, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders!"

That is to say, the factory finally decided to hand over the management of this handicapped factory with only seven or eight people to him.

"Vice Factory Director Fang, I will work hard and never disappoint the trust of the factory leaders!" Wang Weidong said with determination.

"The factory decided to provide you with a 2000-square-meter factory building for free use, and took out [-] yuan as the start-up capital of the factory. Weidong, this money cannot be given to you directly. You have to take the bill to the accounting department for reimbursement. Before money You have to hold on to yourself." Fang Huawen urged.

2000 yuan is a drop in the bucket for Xiangyang Chemical Factory, but it is a huge sum of money for an individual.

"Deputy Factory Manager Fang, don't worry, I will be clear about the money issue!" Wang Weidong said.

It is not a big deal for a factory with tens of thousands of employees to set aside a 2000-square-meter factory building to be a radio factory. The factory leader plans to use [-] yuan to start the factory just to give an explanation to the superiors.

The next day, Wang Weidong called seven of his men together. Among the seven, there were two girls, one named Chen Jihong, who was dumb, and the other named Shi Yueshuang, who was in a wheelchair because of polio.

Everyone is cautious when talking to Shi Yueshuang, because she is the daughter of the director of the factory, she is not completely unable to walk, but when walking, she has to bend her body and shake from side to side. Shi Yueshuang doesn't want to do this in front of outsiders, so she sits with a hand crank wheelchair.

Two of the young men were disabled in one leg like Liu Jianguo, and the remaining two had vision problems, one with only one eye, and the other with better color blindness.

Wang Weidong looked at the seven people and said excitedly: "The factory leaders are very concerned about us, we must make achievements to show to the people in the factory!"
