Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 124 Open your mind and suddenly see the light

Linchang County, Yili Button Factory.

I have to say that Zhao Wenmu felt that the new equipment was really good just by seeing the comparison of the appearance of the new and old equipment and listening to Chen Xuekun's introduction.

Zheng Meiyun also had bright eyes.

Looking at the shiny machinery and equipment, I can't wait to go up and hug it.

Zhao Wenmu looked at her.

The little girl nodded vigorously.

"Chief Engineer Chen, your batch of equipment is really good!"

Chen Xuekun is not good at words, but he is eloquent when talking about equipment and production.

Once it was not a topic in this regard, he immediately fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Wenmu praised this batch of equipment, which still made him very happy, but then he felt sad.

It is indeed a good device, but it is a pity that they have no chance to use it!

He nodded in agreement.

"How many workers will be needed if these two pieces of equipment are in normal operation?"

Zhao Wenmu asked.

"Just two stamping and forming equipment, and the accompanying feeding and screening equipment, about 14 workers are needed, and about 6 people are needed in the raw material workshop. In addition, the auxiliary packaging, screening, transportation and other links are expected to require 40-50 hours. people."

"That is to say, to operate your factory, you need about 20 skilled workers and about 50 ordinary workers."

This is a problem within Chen Xuekun's professional scope, and he doesn't mind talking about it at all.

"If it's just an ordinary farmer, can they learn how to operate it? How long does it take to train? How many skilled workers are needed to guide the operation?"

Workers are the problem that bothers Zhao Wenmu the most.

As for land, factory buildings, and industry and commerce, we can find solutions, but skilled workers are really hard to find.

There is no button factory in Pingyang County!
If you want to pry the corner of the wall, there is no place to pry it.

"If it is an elderly farmer, I don't think it is suitable."

It was rare for Chen Xuekun to speak so euphemistically.

"If you are a young person who has gone to school, you should be able to train and work within three months. Of course, you are also on the job during these three months. You will never learn without practical operation."

"At least one-third of skilled workers are required to guide it."

Zhao Wenmu understood that at least 7 skilled workers were needed, and it took three months to train another 14 people.

He has to dig at least 7 people from the Yili button factory back.

"Chen Gong, how are the workers at Yili Factory arranged? To tell you the truth, I want to hire a few skilled workers to go back, even if it's just to help me train a group of workers!"

"If it doesn't work, this can only be used as a condition for me to buy equipment."

Although this batch of equipment is good, there are not many potential buyers.

The factory relocation is imminent, and Linchang County definitely hopes to sell the equipment as soon as possible.

"Most of the workers will not go to the new factory in Yishui, and it is impossible to accept so many people there."

This is the truth. It was originally a poverty alleviation project, but as a result, all the employees were airborne, so it cannot be justified.

"Some people will be resettled in the county, but most people will lose their jobs."

After Chen Xuekun finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

Many old workers who have worked for more than ten or twenty years have come to him, but what can he do.

"Xiao Zhao, your Pingyang County is too far away, most people probably don't want to go. After all, what's the difference between going to your place and going to Yishui County?"

"Chen Gong, what about you, would you like to come to my place?"

Before Chen Xuekun could refuse, Zhao Wenmu directly threw out the killer weapon.

"I will give you a one-time subsidy of 1000 yuan, and then a monthly salary of 200 yuan, and directly sign a ten-year employment contract."

As soon as Chen Xuekun's words of refusal reached his lips, he swallowed them abruptly.

Almost choked.

As an eighth-level skilled worker, he also has a cadre allowance in the factory, and his monthly salary is only 80 yuan.

The subsidy of 1000 yuan alone is almost equivalent to his salary for more than a year!

Then the salary directly increased to more than 2 times!

If this is the case, why not work in Pingyang County?
"Other skilled workers, I will give them a subsidy of 500 yuan and a monthly salary of 100 yuan, but it only takes six months! You can help me ask those unemployed workers if they want to make some extra money."

"I only need 8 people in total, and the minimum is a fourth-level technician. I will give you 50 yuan for each worker as an introduction fee."

There was no one around, Zhao Wenmu lowered his voice and said to Chen Xuekun.

Chen Xuekun only felt his heart pounding.

I think he is also in his 40s, yet he is still so excited and nervous.

"Is what you said true?"

Although he is not good at words, he is not pedantic.

This is definitely a great opportunity!
Originally thought that the Yili Factory was gone, and this would be the end of my life, but I didn't expect to have such an opportunity.

"Of course, I can pay half of the subsidy in advance, and the remaining half will be paid immediately after 3 months of work!"

Chen Xuekun panted heavily and hesitated for a moment.

"Okay! I promise to recruit 7 workers for you. They are all veterans with rich experience and serious work!"

"For myself, I have to discuss it with my mother-in-law and give you an answer tomorrow morning, is that okay?"

For such a big matter, he still has a hand in it, and he has to see what is going on with Zhao Wenmu first.

"no problem!"

Zhao Wenmu readily agreed.

Then smiled.

"May I ask how much the purchase price of this equipment is?"

Chen Xuekun took a breath, and immediately understood what the other party meant.

The purchase price of the equipment is the base price of this transaction, which is the bottom line of the Linchang County Government.

He didn't know the price that Lu Tianming quoted before.

But of course he knows how much the purchase price of this batch of equipment is!

"A total of 20."

He looked around and said quickly in a low voice.

Then there was nothing to see, Chen Xuekun accompanied him into the factory director's office.

Then several other main leaders in the factory were called.

A secretary of the county government is also waiting here.

The one who really has the decision-making power is actually Secretary Sun. After all, this matter is an instruction from the county.

Lu Tianming knew that he was going to negotiate with Zhao Wenmu in the afternoon, so he reported the situation to the county after returning to the factory, so Secretary Sun rushed over.

"Comrade Zhao, this is Secretary Liu Guohua of our Linchang County Party Committee!"

"Secretary Liu, hello!"

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Zhao!"

After a brief greeting, the two parties lined up at opposite ends and began to discuss.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, are you satisfied with this batch of equipment?"

Lu Tianming looked like he was doing business, and he completely lost the enthusiasm of sipping "Brother Zhao" at lunch.

After all, the occasion is different.

"Director Lu, to be honest, I am very satisfied with this batch of equipment!"

"And I sincerely want to buy it. As long as an agreement is reached, I can pay immediately!"

Hearing that, Secretary Liu's smile became more real.

"That's good, that's good! If it weren't for special circumstances, we wouldn't sell this batch of equipment."

"Do you have any questions about the price?"

The price of 22 yuan has been passed on to Zhao Wenmu by Lu Tianming through Peng Weichao and Li Guofu.

At this moment, he felt that he should be sure.

In fact, he really didn't decide the price. The county's requirement could not be lower than the purchase price of the equipment, so Secretary Liu slapped his head and set a price of 22.

Say this number is auspicious.

I really don't know how to tell.

Zhao Wenmu seemed a little embarrassed.

He paused for a moment before saying:
"Director Lu, the price of 22 is somewhat beyond my expectation."

Lu Tianming thought, why did it exceed your expectations, didn't you come here only after knowing the price?
But he remained calm, waiting for Zhao Wenmu's next words.

"Factory Director Lu, Secretary Liu, to tell the truth, I only have 22 yuan in funds. Of which, 1 yuan will be used to build a factory building, and 4000 yuan will be reserved for working capital. Even if the village does not collect land rent from me, I can only use 20."

"So, 20 is my bottom line. No matter how high it is, I won't be able to buy it."

It would be too coincidental to directly quote a price of 20.

So Zhao Wenmu added 2000 yuan.

"This, this, this price is too low."

While Lu Tianming said that the price was too low, he didn't fluctuate much emotionally at all.

There is no sign of not being able to accept the price.

After all, his task is to sell the equipment at a price of no less than 20. If the price is too high, the extra money will not be rewarded to him.

"Comrade Zhao, this price is too low."

Secretary Liu shrewdly did not mention the county's request, nor did he say that the purchase price of the equipment was 22.

If it is said that the county's requirement cannot be lower than the purchase price, and that the purchase price of the equipment is 22, then there is no need to talk.

Because this means that your reserve price can only be 22.

Not a penny is cheap.

And if Zhao Wenmu really only has 20 available, then they will completely fall apart.

The county is anxiously waiting for the money!

The price is too low for one party to kill himself, and only 20 for one party to kill himself.

The two sides fought like this for nearly an hour.

"How about this? Secretary Liu will come forward in person. I have to give face, 20 yuan! For this price, Yili Factory will be responsible for transporting the equipment to Pingyang County!"

"Several leaders see it as successful, if not, then I can only go back!"

Although the leader's face is only worth 2000 yuan, it's real money anyway.

Several leaders looked at each other and nodded.

"Okay, that's it!"

The two parties quickly signed the agreement.

Yili Factory sent two security officers to protect Zhao Wenmu and went to the bank to withdraw the money, and the money and goods were cleared on the spot.

"I asked the bank teller, and he really only has 22 in his passbook."

After returning, a security officer whispered to Lu Tianming.

Only then did Lu Tianming suppress the doubts in his heart.

In fact, he was skeptical as to why Zhao Wenmu temporarily lowered the price, and it happened to be near their bottom line.

Zhao Wenmu was also very happy, not only recruited skilled workers, but also saved the wages of these workers.

"Sometimes with a little flexibility, you will find that the future is suddenly bright!"

In the guest house, Zhao Wenmu and Zheng Guangming were feeling emotional.

The two brothers and sisters have their own understanding.

Especially Zheng Meiyun's eyes are shining.

Looking forward to the future.
