Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 31 Frustration
When Wang Weidong returned home, he wrote a letter to Wuxi according to the address on the letter, and sent it out the next day.

The address he wrote on the letter was not the address of the factory but the address of his own home.

On the second night, Wang Weidong left several leaders for a meeting. On the table was a radio magazine and a piece of paper, which was the drawing drawn by Liu Jianguo from the magazine last night.

"I always go to the factory's supply and marketing agency to inquire about the sales of our radio. On Sundays, I ride a bicycle to the supply and marketing agency in two or three nearby counties to inquire. The sales of the radio are getting worse and worse, so I decided to design a new one. radio. Now let Liu Jianguo talk about it." Wang Weidong said.

"This is a desktop radio. It uses AC directly, so a transformer needs to be added, and two [-]-watt speakers make the sound louder." Liu Jianguo finished his sentence in two or three dry sentences.

Wang Weidong was very dissatisfied with Liu Jianguo's brief explanation. Is this the virtue of all those who engage in technology?So he decided to go off in person and stir it up.

By producing a radio that is half the size of a brick, more than 30 disabled people have been supported, and they are still living well.It is not easy for people to change, especially when life is good, changes are forced and forced out.

Wang Weidong coughed and said: "You all know that my elder brother Wang Xianjin is getting married, and my mother said that there is no need to buy another radio because there is already a radio at home. But my elder brother and his spouse are not happy, because the radio at my house is bought. It has been around for more than ten years, and it is a five-lamp radio with electronic tubes. Of course, the most important thing is that the radio is nominally owned by my parents, and if I buy them a new one, the property rights will belong to their young couple.”

Smiles appeared on the faces of several others.

"What I mean is that when you get married now, you have to buy a radio for the couple. If you don't buy it, the woman won't agree! No one picks like my mother. If you buy a radio, buy a big one. If you have face, you won't buy it." The radio we produce now is only half the size of a brick!" Wang Weidong said.

Wang Weidong patted the blueprint and said: "This radio is similar to the radio circuit we are producing now, except that a speaker and a transformer are added, the magnetic rod is a little longer, and other parts remain unchanged. The most important thing is the casing, which looks beautiful. It's solemn! No one studies the circuit diagram with the manual when buying a radio."

Wang Weidong's words were very convincing, and everyone felt that what he said made sense.

But still no one spoke.

Xiangyang Chemical Factory is a large factory established with the help of Big Brother just after the founding of the People's Republic of China, with tens of thousands of workers, thousands of cadres and technicians, and strong technical capabilities.

But even so, none of the factory directors ever thought of developing a weapon and equipment independently. Such a thing is not what a leader at his level should think about.

At present, the country is still very backward compared with advanced countries, and it is still in the follow-up stage in terms of weapons. It imitates advanced foreign weapons according to its own production capacity and technical level.

The order is issued by the highest level of the country, and the Ministry organizes technical forces to develop and then issue production tasks to the factories below.

After nearly 30 years, everyone has formed a mental inertia of waiting for orders from above and then completing tasks, which even affects everyone's thinking.

Now that the factory is in good condition, why bother?

"If we do what you say, we will write a report to the factory leader and then the factory will report to the Ministry. Even if the factory and the Ministry agree, the Ministry will communicate with the Fourth Machinery Department to change the allocation from next year. The number and types of electronic components are too troublesome." Bao Qihang said.

Obviously he disagrees with Wang Weidong's doing this, but what he said is also reasonable. Even if the whole set of procedures is completed smoothly, it may take a year. Which of the leaders said that the report should be put aside for research and research, and it will not be delayed. When.

The reason why the radio factory opened smoothly more than a year ago was actually mainly because Wang Weidong asked Liu Jianguo to pretend to be his mother, a national model worker, to write a letter to the leaders of the ministry. The inside is moving, so things are done quickly and smoothly.

Before writing the letter, Wang Weidong once went to the house of deputy factory director Fang. Although the deputy factory director was Wang Weidong's grandfather's apprentice, he only pretended to be perfunctory to Wang Weidong, and he didn't even do what he proposed at the factory office meeting.

It is right not to cause trouble, but the meaning of trouble is very different for people in different positions.

Deputy Factory Manager Fang doesn't want to cause trouble, but Wang Weidong is now causing trouble.

"The factory belongs to everyone, and I can't make the decision alone. Everyone raises their hands about this matter." Wang Weidong said.

"Hands up who agree to produce this radio!" Wang Weidong said while raising his hand.

Liu Jianguo also raised her hand, and the dumb girl Chen Jihong hurriedly raised her hand when she saw Wang Weidong raised her hand, but neither Shi Yueshuang nor Bao Qihang raised their hands.

"Three to two, pass. I will immediately write a report and submit it to Deputy Factory Director Fang." Wang Weidong said.

"Weidong, even if you submit the report to the factory leader, you won't approve it." Bao Qihang said.

Shi Yueshuang left the factory in a wheelchair without saying a word.

Shi Yueshuang's biggest ideal is to go to college. Since she can't go to college due to physical reasons, she can only accept her fate. She thinks that the current situation is already very good, and there is no need to change.

Sense of crisis, people in the seventies and 80s have no sense of crisis.What if you tell him that if the factory does not operate well in the future and cannot pay wages?He'll look at you like he's looking at an alien.

Today is tomorrow, tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, and good days will last forever.

But Shi Yueshuang felt very uncomfortable, because this was the first time she objected to Wang Weidong's opinion.

Walking into the house, Shi Yueshuang saw that her father, Director Shi, had returned.

Shi Yueshuang ate silently and suddenly looked up at her father and asked, "Dad, Wang Weidong said today that the radio factory would produce a new radio. I didn't agree with it during the meeting. In fact, I think what he said was right. If we produce that radio It must be better than today's radios."

"If the things you produce can be fully digested by our factory, and the production components can be fully supplied by Xiangyang Chemical Factory, I may consider it. But the sales of radios depend on the Provincial Supply and Marketing Federation, and the electronic components rely on the Ministry to communicate with other ministries and commissions. It's too troublesome. It's like it's okay for a child to trouble his parents with something, but it's different to trouble the neighbors, so it's better not to do it." Director Shi said.

"The factory agreed to set up this radio factory to solve the employment problem of disabled youths in the factory. Originally, the factory was going to pay you a little money. Now that you can support yourself, it's good enough. Don't make any more trouble!" Shichang Chang continued.
