Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 88
Several leaders who held a meeting to discuss the production of Xiangyang Chemical Factory's military-to-civilian conversion have not yet realized what today's transformation means to Xiangyang Chemical Factory.

After the meeting, Factory Director Lu left Deputy Factory Director Fang who was in charge of the factory-run enterprises of Xiangyang Chemical Factory.

Contracting has now become a word that people often talk about, and most of the factory-run enterprises under Xiangyang Chemical Factory have broken down contracting.

Therefore, the number of companies managed by deputy factory director Fang is decreasing, and he is not far from the commander in chief.

It was at this time that the transition from military to civilian at the Xiangyang Chemical Factory began.

"Old Fang, the leaders of these factories used to be mainly engaged in the military industry. Only you have some experience in managing people's livelihood enterprises. Now I can reveal to you alone that the Ministry's opinion is to let the Xiangyang Chemical Factory start the float process For the glass project, the investment is at least several million. We are still in contact with RB to introduce the glass roll forming technology. It will take a long time from the project confirmation to the production. We can’t do nothing during this period. What do you have in this regard? Thoughts?" Director Lu asked.

"I have been the deputy factory manager for so many years, and I manage collective enterprises such as supply and marketing cooperatives, popsicle factories, non-staple food factories, and photo studios and barber shops. These enterprises serve the families of employees of Xiangyang Chemical Factory, so I have no What kind of experience." Deputy Factory Director Fang replied awkwardly.

He thought for a while and then said: "If there is, there is only a small radio factory that produces radios, but that radio factory was decoupled from the chemical factory three years ago."

Director Lu has just been sent to Xiangyang Chemical Factory for less than half a year, so he doesn't know much about the past.He became interested when Deputy Factory Manager Fang heard that there was a radio factory in Xiangyang Chemical Factory.

"How about that factory, why is it decoupled from the chemical factory?" Director Lu asked.

"That factory was established in [-]. At that time, the policy did not allow the establishment of private enterprises, so it was affiliated with the Xiangyang Chemical Factory. It was established by an educated youth named Wang Weidong who returned to the factory and led disabled youths in the chemical factory. The sales were still low at that time. Yes, at least they can support themselves, and the profits are enough to finance the capital." Deputy Factory Manager Fang replied.

"Since the benefits are not bad, why did the chemical plant allow them to decouple at that time?" Director Lu asked.

"That happened a few years ago. Although Director Lu was not in Xiangyang Chemical Factory at the time, you also know that the production tasks of various military factories were tight at that time, and there were still a lot of foreign trade tasks. The employees' wages were raised, and there were bonuses and overtime pay. They are all very high, so no one took this small radio factory for the handicapped to heart at the time, letting go was also letting go of a trouble." Deputy Factory Manager Fang replied.

However, he hastily added: "However, this matter was discussed at the work meeting of the factory office, and the then director Shi also nodded in agreement."

He must not bear the responsibility alone, and everyone should bear the responsibility for the things discussed in the meeting.

"Is this radio factory still there now? How is the production and efficiency?" Director Lu asked.

"It's still there, the factory has already moved to Harbin, but now there are more than 30 disabled young people in our chemical factory installing radios for this radio factory. The benefits should be good. If Director Lu wants to take a look, I can take you Go to the factory's warehouse here, it's not far away." Deputy Factory Manager Fang said.

The Xiangyang Chemical Factory has started to transfer from the military to civilians, but it still has to retain a considerable amount of military production tasks, but it is inevitable that at least a few thousand employees will turn to civilian production.It will take a long time for the float glass production line to complete the installation of the production line and put it into production after testing. This period has become a window period. Should the workers be kept waiting?
Many people are like this, as long as there is still a little condition to allow, then the old gods will be indifferent to the problems that will arise in the future, and when the conditions are not allowed at all, the change may be caught off guard, and they will rush to the doctor in a hurry.

Director Lu now has a strong interest in this radio factory, and upon hearing what Deputy Director Fang said, he replied, "Okay, let's go and have a look now."

Factory director Lu and the original factory director Shi think about how to complete the production tasks assigned by their superiors with quality and quantity every day, and they don't need to think about other things.Now they are going to turn to the production of civilian products, what to produce and how to sell them are urgently needed for them to learn.

The warehouse is still in the outermost part of the chemical factory residential area that Wang Weidong rented back then, and now Liu Jianguo and his wife live here.

The two deliver electronic components to more than 30 disabled homes every day while recycling installed radios.

The factory car pulled the two of them to the gate, and deputy director Fang got out of the car first and walked into the yard.

"Jianguo, are you home?" Deputy Factory Manager Fang said loudly.

Hearing voices from outside, Liu Jianguo's daughter-in-law opened the door.When the two entered the room, they saw Liu Jianguo stooping to put small plastic boxes into large boxes.

Director Lu picked up a small plastic box with great interest and looked at it.

"This little thing is a radio, why doesn't it even have a speaker pointer?" Director Lu asked.

"Jianguo, this is the new Director Lu!" Deputy Director Fang introduced with a smile.

Deputy Factory Director Fang was promoted from Xiangyang Chemical Factory little by little, so he is very familiar with the factory's children.It was Wang Weidong and Liu Jianguo who stood outside Deputy Director Fang's office with the radio installed overnight, waiting for him to nod to establish the radio factory.

"This is a radio specially produced for college students. You can listen to the FM radio broadcast in the university by plugging in the earphones." Liu Jianguo explained.

Hearing Liu Jianguo's explanation, Director Lu watched with interest.

The era of market economy has come, and for this, people like Director Lu are like elementary school students.

Director Lu sat down and chatted with Liu Jianguo for a long time before leaving.

Director Lu and Deputy Director Fang got back into the car and walked back.

Deputy Director Fang smiled and said to Director Lu: "Don't underestimate that disabled young man just now, he was a millionaire a few years ago!"

Then he told the story of Liu Jianguo and Bao Qihang returning from Harbin with 1 yuan each a few years ago.At that time, this incident was a sensation in Xiangyang Chemical Plant.

Director Lu listened silently, thoughtful.

The next morning, Factory Director Lu asked Deputy Factory Director Fang to come to the office to discuss matters.

"Old Fang, the Wang Weidong you told me about yesterday, can you let him come back, I want to talk to him."

Looking at Deputy Director Fang's questioning gaze, Director Lu explained: "After we chatted with Liu Jianguo yesterday, we knew that the radio factory is developing well. After I went back, I thought about it all night. Take back?"

"It's not easy, is it?" Deputy Director Fang said in surprise.

"It depends on people's wages. It's a big deal to pay a little price! As long as we do our job well, we should be fine!" Director Lu said confidently.
