Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 415: Retreat to Advance (Happy Holidays!)

Early in the morning, the sun rises.

Longpai Knife Factory.

Workers rushed to the factory from all directions before eight o'clock, either on legs or on [-] big poles.

Everyone is in good spirits.

In the past, when I met a fellow working class person on the road, it was somewhat difficult to say "Hey, buddy, which factory do you work in?"

It's different now, everyone will think back "Longpai Knife Factory" with their heads held high.

I am proud!

What about state-owned factories? How many state-owned factories in the district can export and earn foreign exchange?

Hey, their Longpai Tool Factory can!

These days, materials are scarce and people eat spiritual food very much.

Thinking that it was another day when "we workers have strength", the workers who arrived later came to the factory gate, only to find that everyone was blocked in front of the iron gate and refused to go in. It seemed that something had happened.

"What's going on, what's going on, what are you doing here?"

"Liberation, what's going on?"

"Unlucky thing! Come in and take a look."

"Come on, comrades who saw it earlier, please make room so we can take a look too."

I saw a large piece of white paper taped to the iron gate, with a short notice written in calligraphy on it:

[Due to special circumstances, I may no longer be able to manage this factory, and I hereby inform you.I hope everyone will continue to work. The factory has been operating to this point and it is impossible to be banned, so feel relieved.

Lin Jingmin. 】

"What are you doing! Why did Mr. Lin suddenly quit?"

"I'm afraid... I have to do it out of necessity."

"What a mess, Lao Lin is such a good person!"

"Really? Last time in the cafeteria, you asked me if I had enough meat."

"Hey~ Chief Engineer Xie is here."

Xie Youming came to the bottom of the iron gate and looked at the notice in surprise.

Dong Mengping, the sales section chief, squeezed in next to him at some point, looked at his expression and asked, "Lao Jie, don't tell me, you don't even know about this?"

Xie Youming: “I really don’t know!”

Dong Mengping: "..."

Such a big thing happened in the factory, and the person in charge suddenly abandoned the stall. How could the work be carried out?

After eight o'clock, most of the workers were still gathered at the factory gate.

After the sub-district office learned of the situation, several people came to take charge of the work and told everyone to enter the factory for normal production.

A group of managers, headed by Xie Youming, grabbed a person from the sub-district office to inquire about the situation.

"Director Liu, don't tell us to keep things as usual. How can we keep things as usual without the leader? You have to tell us what happened, right?"

"Well, didn't Lin Jingmin write everything clearly? He is no longer suitable to be in charge of this factory. Don't worry, the street office will arrange a new person in charge soon."

Xie Youming frowned and asked, "Where is Consultant Li?"

"he?"

Director Liu shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. He is a specially hired employee. He is not even considered a regular employee of your factory. He just has a personal relationship with Lin Jingmin. If Lin Jingmin is not here, there is a high probability that he will not appear again."

Jie Youming's eyebrows were twisted into a line. After struggling a little, he slammed a pair of labor protection gloves on the ground with a bang.

"I don't do it anymore!"

Although the person from the sub-district office was unwilling to tell the whole story, he was not stupid. Based on recent events in the factory, he could probably guess something.

Director Liu: "..."

What's wrong with you?

Dong Mengping looked at Xie Youming's back and called him a good guy!So handsome!

I was also looking for something to throw away, but I found that I didn’t have any labor protection gloves, so I wouldn’t use them normally.

I had no choice but to accentuate my tone and say in a loud voice: "I won't do it anymore!"

Officer Liu grabbed him and glared: "Meng Ping, are you crazy? You don't want a job?"

The Dong and Liu families have some friendship.

Dong Mengping thought that his family background was not bad, so he said without hesitation: "Qingpeng, remember, some friendships are far beyond what a job can compare with."

Besides, it’s not an iron rice bowl.

After saying the next sentence, Dong Mengping turned around calmly, went to the wall to push up his big phoenix, and walked away humming a little tune.

Isn't he also a little handsome?

If Dong Mengping resigned, it would not be a big deal. It would not be difficult to find someone to take over.

If Jie Youming refuses to do it, big problems will arise!

At about [-] a.m., a military green jeep arrived at Longdao Factory.

Luo Baofeng easily noticed the notice on the factory door. He raised the corner of his mouth and said secretly: I hope you know each other.

The jeep stopped, and before his feet touched the ground, several people hurriedly ran toward him from the side.

The leader was someone sent from the district. Li Jiankun and Lao Lin met yesterday, and Zhou Huifang was also beside them.

Luo Baofeng saw something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong, Yan Song?"

"Something went wrong." Fan Yansong replied.

Zhou Huifang's bitterness is more than just a problem?

She suddenly realized that maybe they were wrong...

<divclass="contentadv">Without Xiao Li and the others, where would the Dragon Knife Factory be?

Without the Dragon Knife Factory, not to mention foreign exchange, this wasteland would not be able to produce even a penny.

She had no idea that Xiao Li and the others would be so decisive.The three-party meeting held by the street yesterday did not take place in the end. Xiao Li smiled and left her with the word "good" before leading Lin Jingmin away.

She only learned about the notice on the factory door this morning.

He didn't make any effort, didn't even ask for his investment back, and just left.

This made Zhou Huifang's heart throb, as if she had lost the most important thing.

Luo Baofeng heard that it was a minor problem and did not take it seriously. Under the guidance of Fan Yansong, he came to Factory No. [-].

However, when I walked into the factory and took a look, it didn't look very good. It was in a semi-stop state.

"Hey! Why are you all standing still? It's work time now!"

Luo Baofeng glanced towards the particularly silent forging and steel grinding areas, and strode over with a leadership aura.

Among the two groups, the oldest steel grinding group leader, Master Zhou, stood up.

"Return to the leader, I can't move."

"What do you mean you can't move? Who tied you up?"

"Between our two processes, there is another tempering process. It cannot be completed without the chief engineer."

Luo Baofeng, who was somewhat knowledgeable, frowned and said, "For tempering, isn't it just to put the red-hot iron into water? Isn't it enough if you have hands?"

"You do not understand."

Luo Baofeng: "..."

Master Zhou then explained clearly that they were using a special tempering agent that could only be prepared by the Jie Federation of Trade Unions.

"I see that people use water to make iron. Isn't it possible without this thing?"

"Yes, yes."

Master Zhou put down three words, walked to the workbench, took a knife and forged it first. When the worker didn't realize this problem, he put the forged knife embryo on the anvil, then picked up a big hammer and used both hands. Smash it down.

"Boom!"

There was a crisp sound.

The blade is cracked.

Master Zhou gave another fierce blow.

"jump!"

The knife embryo broke into two pieces.

"Well, without using Chief Engineer Xie's quenching agent, the toughness of the knife can only reach this level. This thing...can't be called a dragon knife."

Only then did Luo Baofeng realize that the problem seemed a bit serious. He turned his head and asked, "Where is this Chief Engineer Xie?"

Fan Yansong replied: "I said I quit."

Luo Baofeng: "..."

He immediately realized that this person was with Lin Jingmin, and now was not the time to give in.He snorted coldly and said: "It must be the people named Lin and Li who instigated it!"

"This is really not."

Zhou Huifang interrupted and told the truth about what her people experienced that morning.

Luo Baofeng frowned, looked at the huge hammer that Master Zhou had wielded before, and said subconsciously: "Who would use this thing to smash a knife? I think... it doesn't matter if we don't use the special quenching agent."

No one dares to agree with this. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?

Following this incident, Luo Baofeng suddenly thought of an important question and hurriedly asked: "That's right! Where are the foreign businessmen?"

"It seems like they're all gone."

"What do you mean it seems like?" Luo Baofeng scolded, "Where's the supply and marketing section chief? He always knows about customers, right?"

"gone."

Luo Baofeng: "???"

Fan Yansong explained: "I followed Xie Youming. But we found two contracts signed with foreign businessmen on his desk."

Luo Baofeng was overjoyed when he heard that the contract had been signed.

Unexpectedly, before Fan Yansong finished speaking, he added: "It's a one-time thing."

Luo Baofeng stared in surprise, "What does one-time use mean?"

"It's a one-time deal, just two small orders, and there are no long-term cooperation terms."

Luo Baofeng couldn't help but yelled, "We have so many foreign businessmen, but we only signed two small orders, and it's still a one-stop deal. These people are just the breadwinners!"

Some people can't stand it.

Master Zhou said: "Boss, as a master in the factory, I have to remind you that if we don't get Mr. Xie back, I'm afraid we won't be able to pay off these two small orders.

"You weren't right just now. There are actually people who hit the knife with a hammer. Those foreign businessmen who came to our factory before tried every batch. I heard that Manager Lin and others in Yangcheng used this trick to show the quality of the dragon knife to foreign businessmen, so everyone remember.

"Think about it, if the goods we ship cannot withstand the hammer blow, foreign businessmen can't think that we are shoddy and come to fight with them?"

Luo Baofeng was secretly shocked, is there such a thing?

It will definitely not work to deceive foreign businessmen. One bad move can turn into an international event.

He hurriedly looked at Fan Yansong and Zhou Huifang and said, "Why don't you go find them quickly!"
