Chapter 96 Here Comes The Trouble

"Uncle Zhong, you are a worker with ideals and aspirations, and you have a deep interest and affection for the heavy industry."

Li Yi's opening chapter made Zhong Da, who is in his 40s, smile slightly, and after laughing, he looked pensive.

"Uncle Zhong, you have been immersed in heavy machinery for more than [-] years. You have profound management experience and superb technology in heavy machinery manufacturing. It is a pity that Haihua's world is too small. If you continue like this, your whole life will be ruined. Your future will stop at the level of senior engineer, and you will be promoted to a workshop director at the top of the sky. Because of your straightforward and unscrupulous personality, you are doomed not to enter the senior management of Haihua. Then, what is in your heart? No matter how great the grand picture is, it has no chance of being realized.”

Zhong Da was originally reclined on the sofa, but now he couldn't help but sit upright, rubbing his hands together.Obviously, some of Li Yi's words hit the soft spot in his heart.

"Next, let's talk about Haihua Excavator Factory. Haihua Excavator Factory is an old brand of heavy industry enterprises, but its vitality is inversely proportional to its age. If my expectations are correct, it started a few years ago It has gone downhill, and now Haihua is in a half-dead state."

Zhong Da frowned: "Young man, you see things clearly!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Actually, Uncle Zhong, you see things more clearly than I do, but you just don't want to admit it. I believe you middle-level cadres should have discussed it in private. If Haihua is handed over to you, it will definitely not be what it is now. .”

Zhong Da's eyes suddenly shone brightly, this young man unexpectedly even guessed this!

Li Yidao: "This is the sadness and helplessness of state-owned small and medium-sized enterprises. Those who are capable may not necessarily be able to rise to the top, and those in the top position may not necessarily be capable. Now most of Haihua's management are some officialdom operators, let them become officials. , can have both sides, but it is not satisfactory for them to manage the enterprise. Uncle Zhong, don’t you think so?”

Zhong Da didn't make a comment, it was related to the leader's comment, his cautious character decided that he would not be so reckless.

Li Yi smiled: "Haihua can only produce small and medium-sized ordinary excavators now, right?"

Zhong Da said: "Well, mainly small ones, medium-sized excavators over 4 cubic meters are rarely produced, mainly small general-purpose excavators. The technology of mining, marine and special excavators is not mature enough."

Although Li Yi was mentally prepared, he still did not expect that the equipment of Haihua Excavator Factory was so backward. Such as large international companies, their technology is at least 30 years ahead of us.”

Zhong Da sighed: "If this kind of technology is only imported, it won't work. Firstly, people won't sell it. Secondly, even if he is willing to sell it, the price will be sky-high! One design drawing will cost tens of millions. U.S. dollars! Our factory is small, so where can we find spare money to buy their technology?"

Li Yi said: "Heavy machinery plays an inestimable role in national production and economic construction. The era of driving a mechanical single-bucket excavator to build socialism has passed, and it does not meet the current economic development requirements."

Zhong Da deeply agreed: "It is difficult to rely on our excavators to meet the increasingly high construction speed, especially for the excavation of subways and tunnels. Our excavators cannot adapt at all. If we don't innovate, we will eliminate them sooner or later. I Every day I suggest to the higher-ups to innovate technology and develop new products, but the upper-level people not only don’t listen, they scold me for meddling in my own business! Sigh!”

"If I want to set up a machinery factory, the goal is to build heavy machinery that is more advanced than those of the world's largest factories, do you think it is feasible?" Seeing Zhong Da's opening, Li Yi threw out the purpose of this trip.

"What?" Zhong Da thought he heard it wrong: "You want to build a machinery factory by yourself? Child, it's good to have ideals, but you must never have unrealistic delusions!"

Zhong Xiu made tea for the two of them, sat on the side and listened quietly, at this moment he laughed and said, "Dad, he has money! At least he can afford to drive a car!"

Zhong Da glared at her: "Rich? What does it mean to be rich? Young people really don't know what to do! Do you know how much an excavator costs? Do you know how much it costs to open an excavator factory? Speaking out scares you to death!" Dare to call yourself rich when you get a dead salary of several hundred dollars a month? It’s really watching the sky from the bottom of a well!”

Li Yi saw that what he said was interesting, and said with a smile: "If money is not a problem, are you willing to resign and help me?"

Zhong Da said: "Who are you willing to be or not? When you really have such a day, I will help you run the factory even if I fight this old bone!"

Li Yi said with a smile: "As I said before, I have a younger brother who is doing business in the United States and has a lot of money. Now he has the ambition to return to China to invest and start a business. He is interested in the domestic heavy industry industry. He entrusted me to help him run errands in China. Do the liaison work. Now, on behalf of my uncle, I will send you a formal invitation to join the company we are about to invest in!"

Zhong Da hesitated, "Aren't you joking?"

Li Yi said: "Do you think I'm a joker?"

Zhong Da said: "But, this is a bit too sudden, I can't reply right away."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, you think about it first. Just now, I even thought about the name of the company, and it's called Sanjiang Heavy Industry! The wealth of money has reached Sanjiang! Don't businessmen just want to make money? Uncle Zhong ,how do you feel?"

"Well, that's a pretty good name." Zhong Da laughed.

Li Yidao: "In view of Uncle Zhong's qualifications and talents, on behalf of my uncle, I am willing to offer you an annual salary of 5 to hire you as the first general manager of Sanjiang Heavy Industries."

"fifty thousand?"

Now Chao Na was tempted, she poked Zhong Da, and signaled him to agree quickly.

Zhong Da is still hesitant.

Li Yi took out a check from his satchel, filled it out, and handed it to Zhong Da: "Uncle Zhong, here is [-]. I will pay the first year's salary in one lump sum, and bonuses and dividends will be calculated separately." .Now, as long as you accept this check, you will be the first general manager of Sanjiang Heavy Industry!"

Zhong Da took the check in disbelief, looked at it carefully, and pushed it back to Li Yi, like pushing a hot potato, his hands trembling: "No, I can't take it!"

Li Yi held the check and his hand tightly, and said with a smile: "This is your reward, and you deserve it! Because in the future, you will be hired by me and work for me. Unless you go back on your word and don't want to Help the younger ones."

Zhong Da said with some pain: "Li Yi, to be honest, the annual salary of [-] is still very attractive to me. I also have two sons who are in school, one in college and one in technical secondary school. If you want money, I also need money. Of course, I am also willing to help you, go to work in your factory, it doesn't matter if you are the general manager or not. The problem is, I have some concerns!"

Li Yi asked: "What concerns do you have? Are you still afraid that your factory leader will retaliate against you? Isn't it fashionable to go to sea these days!"

Zhong Da shook his head and said: "That's not true. I worked in Haihua in my twenties. When I entered, I was still a teenager. I was brought up by my master until today. To be honest, I have no doubts. Haihua has a constant feeling of letting go. What's more, over the years, I have met a group of brothers and brought a group of apprentices. Now I pat my buttocks to enjoy high salaries and high jobs, but leave them in Haihua Suffering, how can I bear it?"

"Haha!" Li Yi smiled and said, "What am I supposed to do! Uncle Zhong, I was about to tell you about this. At the beginning of Sanjiang Heavy Industry's establishment, there was an urgent need for talents. As long as you can bring them over, all of us Accept! Besides, if Haihua continues to go on like this, it won’t last for a few years. By then, Sanjiang will grow up. If you still miss Haihua, you can buy it at any time!”

Zhong Da smoked a cigarette and smoked it vigorously, as if making a final decision.

Li Yi didn't urge him, took a sip from the teacup, and smiled at Zhong Xiu: "The tea is not bad!"

Zhong Xiu chuckled: "I took out my dad's treasures for many years!"

Zhong Da asked: "Let me ask you, you and I don't know each other, why do you help me like this?" As he spoke, his eyes stayed on his daughter.I thought to myself, is it possible that you kid is playing with my precious daughter?

Zhong Xiu was a little embarrassed and said: "Dad, don't look at me like that, this matter has nothing to do with me! He and I are really ordinary friends."

Li Yi smiled and said: "No one, because I also need your help! In fact, I have been paying attention to the relevant talents in the province, and I have a good understanding of Uncle Zhong. Otherwise, I can be so presumptuous? As for you? Zhong Xiu's father, this is really a coincidence."

The reason Li Yi made up dispelled Zhong Da's last worry. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, picked up the check, and said with a smile, "Then do it!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Next, Li Yi discussed some specific details with him, including the location of the factory, construction, recruitment and production, and many other trivial matters.The two chatted for a long time, had lunch and dinner at Zhong's house, and continued chatting.

Zhong Da is a man with great ambitions. He is in his 40s, the age at which a man can explode when he matures. The blueprint he has built in his heart for many years finally has the power to use force. He talks logically and tirelessly.

After discussing until late at night, the two made an appointment again to invite some of Zhong Da's other friends to come and plan together, and they broke up.

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening when Li Yi bid farewell to Zhong's family and drove back to the dormitory.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the brick-like big brother beside the bed beeping all the time. Li Yi thought it was cumbersome, and he usually didn't take it with him when he went out for a short time.Today, I wanted to come back after seeing off Guo Xiaotian, but I didn't expect to get to know Zhong Da because of Zhong Xiu, so I was delayed for a day.

Li Yi picked up the phone and answered it. Just after feeding him, he heard a panicked voice that was deliberately lowered: "Section Chief Li, why did you answer the phone! I'm so anxious!"

Li Yi thought for a while before realizing that it was Tan Jingyi's voice. He felt a little disgusted and said, "Small talk? It's so late, what are you calling me for?"
