The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

The Audi car was driving smoothly on the road of Jiuxianqiao in Chaoyang District.

There are electronics factories on both sides of the road.

This is the concentration of Yanjing's electronic industry, which once had endless glory.

1952年起，酒仙桥在原毛熊和民德的援助下，于辖域中部兴建了神州第一座现代化电子管企业——燕京电子管厂（774厂）；而后于辖域北部相继建起燕京电机总厂，华北无线电器材联合厂（即706、707、718、751、798等厂），使得酒仙桥电子工业区初具规模。50年代末，原第四机械工业部所属第十二研究所、878厂、燕京半导体器件厂于辖域西部建成。60年代、无线电厂（738厂）、邮电设备厂（506厂）、通讯设备厂、无线电二厂、华北光电技术研究所相继建成。

This area was once a weathervane and distribution center for China's electronics industry. As of 1982, there were 15900 households and 6.4 people in the area, most of whom were employees of major electronics factories and their families.

After the 1990s, these electronics factories were gradually eliminated due to outdated equipment, backward technology, and products that were not recognized by the market. They encountered great difficulties in operation. In the high-end electronics market, they could not compete with imported products at all, and in the low-end market, they were also defeated by small private factories in the south.

As a result, one company after another stopped production and laid off employees. The once prosperous electronic industrial zone is now deserted and its doors are closed. Along the way, Lin Zhiyuan carefully counted and found that nearly three-quarters of the factories were in a state of suspension. The sunny road actually had a sense of desolation, like the setting sun and withered grass.

Lin Zhiyuan felt a little uncomfortable, and at the same time the pressure was greater.

The Audi finally stopped in front of the gate of Dongtian Electronics.

There were seven or eight people standing at the door, and Lin Zhiyuan saw Yuan Fei standing in the crowd at a glance.

After the car stopped, Yuan Fei stepped forward and opened the back door first, saying respectfully, "Boss Lin, I've finally waited for you."

Lin Zhiyuan got out of the car and said with a smile: "Xiao Yuan, you are putting a lot of pressure on me when you say that. Aren't you serving Mr. Li today?"

"Assistant Lin, today is Saturday and I am on vacation. I knew you were coming to Dongtian Electronics for research, so I came here specially." Yuan Fei began to introduce several company leaders of Dongtian Electronics to Lin Zhiyuan.

The first person was naturally Yuan Fei's father, Yuan Zhilong, the general manager of Dongtian Electronics. Yuan Zhilong's hand was very strong, and he held Lin Zhiyuan tightly and shook it twice, "Assistant Lin, our 183 cadres and employees of the company warmly welcome you to come and inspect our work."

Yuan Zhilong is in his early fifties, with a dark complexion and thick knuckles. If he hadn't been wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, Lin Zhiyuan would have thought that the person standing in front of him was a farmer who had been exposed to the wind and sun all year round! In fact, Yuan Zhilong is a senior engineer in the electronics field and can be regarded as a technical entrepreneur.

After Lin Zhiyuan shook hands with the company leaders, he, accompanied by Yuan Zhilong, took a walk around the yard of Dongtian Electronics Company.

Dongtian Electronics Company occupies a large area. According to Yuan Zhilong, the entire factory covers an area of ​​6,600 square meters. The buildings in the factory are relatively old, with a strong flavor of the 1960s and 1970s. This is similar to the factory buildings that Lin Zhiyuan saw along the way. The electronics factories in the Jiuxianqiao area were generally built in the 1950s and 1960s and are generally quite old.

At the same time, Lin Zhiyuan also noticed that there were about thirty or forty stores operating on the street surrounding the factory area, and the land occupied by these stores should all belong to Dongtian Electronics.

Yuan Zhilong introduced as he walked, "Assistant Lin, Dongtian Electronics Company was founded in the early 1960s. It was originally established to solve the employment problems of the children and family members of the employees of the subordinate enterprises. Its technical strength was very weak compared to other large companies, and its products were also the simplest semiconductor radios, small electronic components, circuit boards, and speakers... The full name of the company is Dongfang Electronics Factory. After the 1980s, in order to keep up with the trend, the factory was changed to a company. Originally, it was intended to be called Dongfang Electronics Company, but it had the same name as another company, so when it was registered, it decided on the name Dongtian Electronics Company on a whim."

Lin Zhiyuan kept nodding.

Since it was Saturday, the workers had a day off, and the entire factory was quiet, with no one in the workshop. However, Lin Zhiyuan still walked into the workshop to take a look at the production line. According to Yuan Zhilong, the main product of Dongtian Electronics is still the Tetris game console. Although the production volume has dropped significantly compared to the peak in the mid-1990s, it can still ship 200 to 300 units per month. In addition to the speakers, circuit boards, and the rent for renting surrounding stores, it can barely maintain the basic salary of the entire company's cadres and employees, and forget about bonuses.

Lin Zhiyuan asked in detail about the average salary of Dongtian Electronics employees. After hearing the specific figures, he was amazed. In 1999, the average monthly salary of Dongtian Electronics employees was only 300 to 400 yuan. He really couldn't understand how these employees survived in Yanjing with such a small salary.

After a tour around the factory, everyone entered the conference room and began to listen to the formal work report.

The report was given by Yuan Zhilong. He only took two thin pages of paper and hardly looked at the manuscript during the whole process. His tone was passionate, his voice was loud, and he could easily cite various data. From this detail alone, it can be seen that Yuan Zhilong is very familiar with the company's various situations and is a good leader who gets things done.

His report was all honest. He neither dwelled on the glory of the past nor complained too much about the helplessness of the present. What he said more was that he hoped to find a development path suitable for Dongtian Electronics and find a good product that could be accepted and recognized by the market.

Yuan Zhilong's work report lasted only six or seven minutes, but Lin Zhiyuan heard a lot from it. There was no doubt that Yuan Zhilong was aware of his conversation with Yuan Fei on Thursday night, and the entire report revolved around this central point.

In addition to the people from the large-scale working committee, Zhan Daying, deputy director of the General Office of the Ministry of Information Industry, was also present to listen to the report. Yuan Zhilong certainly hoped that Zhan Daying could convey his report to Minister Wu.

After Yuan Zhilong finished his work report, the next step was to enter the discussion session.

Yuan Zhilong and Yuan Fei looked at Lin Zhiyuan expectantly at the same time. They both hoped that Lin Zhiyuan would take the lead and tell what happened on Thursday night.

After all, the monk from outside is very young, and Lin Zhiyuan is the leader of a large working committee. The department will pay more attention to some of his words.

Fortunately, Lin Zhiyuan did not disappoint their expectations and was not afraid of offending anyone.

He cleared his throat. "After visiting the Dongtian Electronics factory, to be honest, I feel very heavy-hearted. The situation of Dongtian Electronics is similar to the two companies I visited yesterday, and the problems they have are basically the same..."

While Lin Zhiyuan was speaking, Zhan Daying quickly opened his notebook and began to take notes. For some reason, he had a strong premonition that something big might happen today.
