Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 23

Wang Weidong took the train overnight to Mushi to buy back ten electric soldering irons and ten multimeters, which were all the production tools for the radio factory to be established soon.

After returning, Wang Weidong handed over the invoice to Fang Huawen, the deputy director of the factory, for signature and then got it to the accounting department for reimbursement.

The factory provided more than a dozen desks, which are the workbenches of the radio factory.

Wang Weidong took seven other people to clean for a day. Due to disabilities, the main force of the work was only three people: Wang Weidong, Bao Qihang, who is colorblind, and Chen Jihong, a dumb girl.

On the day when the factory was established, there were no firecrackers or flowers, so the factory manager Shi and the deputy factory manager Fang both rushed to the factory to give speeches to congratulate.

The presence of two directors of such a small collective factory shows the importance attached to the factory. This emphasis is not on the factory but on the disabled and the employment of young people.

"When Wang Weidong came to my office to report to me that day, he said that the radio did not have a brand name, and asked me to name the brand of the radio. After thinking about it, I thought it was called "entrepreneurship"! The older generation of workers built a family with tens of thousands here. Now it's your turn for the state-run factory of the people!" said the factory manager Shi.

The dozen or so people below applauded.But because there were too few people, the applause was not enthusiastic.

Deputy Factory Director Fang also said a few words.

Wang Weidong stood up and said, "Next, let the family members of our radio factory workers speak on behalf of Comrade Fu Guirong, a national model worker!"

Fu Guirong wore brand new work clothes today, and her son Liu Jianguo finally stopped staying at home and became a self-reliant person.

"When I was young, what I thought was to listen to the party's words wholeheartedly, and do whatever the party tells me to do! Work hard, work hard! When our family founded the country, the country was very difficult. Hungry, but the more difficult the country is The time is more when our workers are selfless and dedicated! I gritted my teeth and participated in the factory battle. When Liu Jianguo was born, he was less than three catties, and one leg was still disabled. I thank the national factory for not forgetting us and giving us a family. Jianguo provides this opportunity to continue to contribute to the country!" Fu Guirong said excitedly.

Fuguirong spoke very emotionally, and the eyes of the others were a little moist. The dumb girl Chen Jihong didn't know what Fuguirong was talking about, but she shed tears when she saw others cry, and she cried the most.

Factory Manager Shi wiped his eyes and said with emotion: "I was very touched and educated after listening to Comrade Fuguirong's speech just now! You young people should learn from the old comrades and work hard. The factory will definitely support you all!"

Since two leaders attended the inauguration ceremony of the factory, the headline news on the front page of the factory newspaper the next day was the news of the founding of the entrepreneurial radio factory.

The factory was established, but the eight people suddenly became idlers with nothing to do.

The Fifth Ministry of Machinery is responsible for the country's major weapons production, while the electronics industry is under the responsibility of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery.

Xiangyang Chemical Factory, a newly established small radio factory, had to write a report to the Ministry from Xiangyang Chemical Factory, and the Ministry would coordinate with the Fourth Ministry of Machinery.

In Wang Weidong's production plan to Fang's deputy factory manager, he proposed to produce 2000 Chuangye brand radios per year, excluding Sundays and holidays, that is more than [-] sets per month, and about [-] sets per day.

It is easy for eight people to produce one hundred units a day.

However, Deputy Director Fang frowned after seeing the report and said, "[-] units? Is it too much?"

The purpose of setting up this small factory is to arrange employment for the disabled, and it has no thought of making a profit. Most of the leaders of the state-owned factory do not have the concept of making a profit in their heads. What they think about is to complete the tasks assigned by the state.

"Ten thousand units is already a lot." Deputy Factory Director Fang said.

The less the production, the less the leaders of Xiangyang Chemical Factory have to worry about, even if they are losing money, how much can they lose?The big deal is for the factory to make up some money to support these disabled youths.

Now that the big leader has spoken, it is [-] units.

Then report to the Ministry to apply for the allocation of production raw materials based on the number of [-] units.

"Deputy Director Fang, if 1 speakers are allocated, the production task must not be completed after removing the defective products. I suggest increasing the number of allocated speakers by [-]%." Wang Weidong suggested.

"That makes sense!" Deputy Director Fang nodded.

After the production report was handed in to the Ministry, they began to wait, waiting for the production materials such as horn magnets, diodes, and triodes to be dispatched.

Fortunately, this little thing is not enough for a large electronic component factory, and it can be supplied by cleaning the warehouse.

Now they are all state-owned enterprises, and everything belongs to the state, so there is no problem of arrears at all.It's all state, who owes who, so there is no need to pay for these electronic components in advance.However, which factory is designated by the country to provide components is that one, and you cannot replace another one because of production quality and price.

But there is also an advantage. The products produced directly enter the national sales channels without having to sell them yourself.

The radio produced by a radio factory may be the same for more than ten years, and it doesn't care whether it can be sold or not.

In fact, most of these products can still be sold, because the country is now focusing on heavy industry, and there is still a shortage of light industry products.

Another thing is that the price of the radio can be set by yourself or as much as it needs to be approved by the relevant state departments.Wang Weidong and Liu Jianguo felt that the cost of their radio would not exceed 20 yuan, and most of the radios sold in stores now cost more than 15 yuan, so they decided to set the price at [-] yuan.

But half a month after the report was handed in and approved, the price of the radio changed to 18 yuan.In this day and age, people may have to spend a month's salary to buy a better radio. This situation is much different from the situation where a month's salary can buy dozens or hundreds of radios in 30 or [-] years.

At the beginning, Wang Weidong asked Liu Jianguo to teach everyone how to use a multimeter and an electric soldering iron, but he finished learning these things in a day or two.There is no way, Wang Weidong leads everyone to read newspapers and strengthen ideological study in the so-called production workshop every day to pass the time.

After half a month, it will be the time for Xiangyang Chemical Factory to pay wages, and this should be the day for the radio factory to pay wages.

The salary statement was made by the accounting department. Wang Weidong looked at his salary slip. It included the basic salary, non-staple food, subsidies for books and periodicals, etc., and the total was 37 yuan and [-] cents.

Since the job levels are formulated according to the level of large collective enterprises, the salary level is lower than that of state-owned enterprise employees.

However, this salary has to come from the start-up capital of 2000 yuan given by the factory. When Wang Weidong went to the deputy director of the factory to sign, the deputy director of the factory said: "The raw materials for production will be allocated in the next month. The third There will be sales in a month, and then it will be up to you!"
