Chapter 8 The Suffering of Life
Cao Bun froze for a moment: "What does Lao Yu mean? You mean I have a problem?"

Yu Fan was happy: "My old man, what's wrong with you? I'm talking about Director Shi."

Cao Ben was even more puzzled, what does this mean?

Yu Fan looked at Cao Ben with a weird smile, and said, "Believe it or not, Director Shi is waiting for us when we walk out of the workshop door. Let's hurry up. He is probably smoking outside the workshop. He is done smoking. He's probably leaving soon, so Director Shi can't be made to wait. He has something to say."

Cao Ben followed Yu Fan out of the workshop suspiciously.

Walking out of the workshop, I saw Director Shi smoking under a tree not far away.The cigarette was smoked slowly and did not burn much. It seemed that Director Shi did not inhale hard, but let it burn naturally. This cigarette seemed to be an incense, and this incense touched an anxious soul.

Director Shi spoke first: "Have you finished reading? How is it? Are there any countermeasures?"

Yu Fan: "Actually, Director Shi, you have so many years of experience, you should know the reason of the problem better than us, right?"

Director Shi was taken aback for a moment, took a quick puff of cigarette, and looked around.

Yu Fan said again: "It's too noisy here, let's take a step to talk."

Director Shi nodded, and led Yu Fan and Cao Ben to an empty playground at the end of the factory.Not a single person.

Director Shi said: "No matter what method you use, solve the problem for me, otherwise I really dare not use your product anymore."

Yu Fan nodded: "The problem must be solved. I checked the usage status of the cutting fluid, and everything was normal. I also checked the pH value, and it was also a weak alkali type. The copper parts are amphoteric metals. will corrode, but obviously our PH value is within the normal range, and there is a copper slow-release agent in our cutting fluid, and the copper slow-release agent is not in an invalid state, so the white hair on the copper parts is not a corrosion product, nor is it Related complexes produced by corrosion reactions."

Yu Fan paused. "According to your description, there is no problem when the workpiece is just processed, and the problem occurs after a few days. Then the problem should be in the middle link. If my inference is correct, it is the inconspicuous air blower in the middle. Drying process! The industrial high-pressure air in the factory should be pure, and there should be a water and air separation device. But I tried your air blow gun just now, and there is a lot of water and black solids in it. If there is no accident , Your high-pressure blowing and drying air compression system has a problem, a lot of water has been mixed in, and internal corrosion has occurred, the black solid is ferric oxide or iron hydroxide."

Director Shi remained silent.He had finished smoking the cigarette just now, and took out the cigarette case from his pocket, but the cigarette case was empty.Seeing this, Cao Ben handed over a cigarette of his own.

Yu Fan also said: "So, the final white hair on the copper parts should be solidified by the residual sodium carbonate scale during the drying process, and the complex formed by the iron hydroxide and the copper surface. But I feel strange that you, as a Senior front-line personnel in the workshop for many years, don’t you know that there is a problem with your own equipment? Why do you repeatedly say that it is our cutting fluid problem? Let us solve it repeatedly? I think there is a story in it .”

Director Shi took another deep breath of the cigarette, and stopped talking.

Yu Fan said again: "Director Shi, your eyeballs are bloodshot, your eye circles are black, and your shoulders drooped when you walked just now. These are the characteristics of a bad rest recently. And I observed that many machine tools in the workshop were down, and the work of the factory The amount is not saturated, so the reason for your poor rest is not work, right? In addition, you don’t smoke much at ordinary times, and the sudden increase in smoking recently should be due to troubles, right?”

Director Shi was full of doubts: "Why do you say that I don't usually smoke? Did we know each other before?"

Yu Fan: "You just smoked one cigarette after another, and the empty cigarette pack you took out just now is also new, so it can be seen that you have finished smoking this pack of cigarettes in a short time. And there are no obvious smoke marks, teeth, etc. between your fingers. There is no smoke stains either. It can be seen that you did not smoke very much before, or that you have not smoked as much as recently. You are about 55 years old this year, and it is the time when men are under the most pressure. Bar?"

Director Shi was silent for a few seconds, and said with a stern face: "I've come to this point, let me just say it straight. When doing business in our state-owned enterprise, don't just think that the product is easy to use and you will be able to do it. Without us people to help you, You have been working together for a while, relationship is very important, relationship, do you understand?"

Yu Fan also smiled seriously: "I understand the truth, but I'm really surprised when you say it like that."

Director Shi finished smoking again, asked Cao Ben for another, and said, "Young man, when you reach my age, you will understand many things naturally, and I was forced to do many things, let's put it this way. , you raise the price of your cutting fluid by 10%, I will take the extra price, and I will convert the extra invoices into tax money for you, and you will not lose a penny. I will help you maintain the on-site work All right, no more product issues."

Cao Ben said unhappily next to him: "Then why didn't you just say it straight before? It made me go so many times in vain!!"

Director Shi took another deep breath and said, "Xiao Cao, I'm sorry, this is actually the first time I've asked for money from a supplier in so many years, and I've troubled you so many times before, I'm really sorry .My heart is also very contradictory. People are forced to do so. My old mother has been in poor health and often goes to the hospital. In order to take good care of the elderly, I asked my wife not to go to work and take care of her full-time at home. If I work hard, I can support this family. I work hard, work cleanly, and live a decent life. But recently, something happened at home, and my son was diagnosed with leukemia. We can be regarded as old-fashioned children, my son just started college this year, and his studies have been excellent, I really need money now! I want money to help my life!"

Director Shi finished smoking another cigarette, and Cao Ben gave him another one. Director Shi lit the lighter for a long time this time, but the lighter stopped burning, as if God was trying his best to make things difficult for this middle-aged man.Cao Ben lit him again with his own lighter.

Director Shi's eyes were red: "This type of leukemia is relatively mild, and it was discovered early. I sent him to the best hospital in the city, but he needed regular dialysis. Our factory organized people to donate money to our family, donate blood, donate Platelets, but still not enough, now I have to spend money to buy blood. There are a lot of expensive chemotherapy drugs, I really can't afford it!!! My son is still young!"

Yu Fan remained silent, looked up at the sky, as if thinking, why is fate always so tricky, torturing a man who is old, filial and hardworking?
But Yu Fan said: "Director Shi, I'm sorry, we won't make a problem of principle. I would rather you don't use our stuff than I will bribe you. We still can't solve your problem. Today Let’s pretend our conversation never happened. I don’t know anything.”

Yu Fan took two steps back, half-bowed and said goodbye, as if feeling deep sympathy for what happened to a poor middle-aged man.
