Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

The next day, Chu Jianghe made another trip to Hongguang Printing Factory.

He had been here several times during this period and was already familiar with the old man at the gate. The old man also knew that he was on good terms with the factory director and let him in without registering.

Because of the gift he gave him some time ago, people in the office were extremely polite to him and greeted him warmly when they met him.

Originally, the printing factory was having a very sad life, but everyone sitting in the office knew that thanks to Chu Jianghe's order, they now have the New Year's welfare money and can all have a good year.

Entering Li Jinming's office this time, Li Jinming did not drink tea and read the newspaper like last time. Instead, he was reading some documents.

Chu Jianghe didn't ask in detail. This was his business, and he had no interest in it as an outsider.

Seeing his arrival, Li Jinming was also very happy. He stood up from his desk to greet him: "Brother, long time no see. Look, you're here as soon as you come. What else do you bring?"

Since Chu Jianghe analyzed the situation he was currently in last time, Li Jinming already had his own strategies on how to deal with it.

This is just like playing chess. If you know how the opponent moves, you will have corresponding ways to deal with it.

Chu Jianghe said with a smile: "Isn't it going to be a holiday soon? It won't be until the end of the New Year when I come back. I have to come to Brother Li for a walk anyway. I didn't bring anything valuable, just some trivial things. Don't blame me. As long as the gift is good, it’s fine.”

Chu Jianghe was very grateful for Li Jinming's help, but he also did Li Jinming a favor. It was an exchange of interests between the two.

Chu Jianghe was a person who didn't want to ask for help. The things he brought this time were not expensive. Most of them were cigarettes and alcohol bought in the market. It was not strange to give gifts to so many people.

"Look what you said, I am that kind of person."

Li Jinming said that, but he was actually quite happy that Chu Jianghe could come to see him with a gift before the New Year.

The two of them had dinner twice, and their understanding of the young man Chu Jianghe deepened. They also admired him more and more, and had long wanted to make friends.

Not to mention his relationship with Xiao Yan'er, this young man's knowledge alone is enough for him to take seriously.

Chu Jianghe put the things on the desk, then pointed at the things on the table and said, "Brother Li, if I bring the things directly to the factory to give you a gift, will it cause people to gossip?"

He didn't just think of this problem at this time. In fact, he didn't want to go to the compound where Li Jinming and Xu Chunyan lived, so he took the next step and went directly to their office.

Li Jinming waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, we are friends, and you are not just asking me to do things."

After saying that, he took out his cigarette and gave Chu Jianghe one.

Chu Jianghe sat across from Li Jinming's desk, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Brother Li, I just saw you looking at the documents with concentration. Are you going to show off your skills?"

Li Jinming also sat down and took a puff of his cigarette, and smiled proudly: "This is about the development plan of the printing factory in the next three years. If Wu Jun wants to use me as a pawn, he has to weigh his own weight."

After saying that, he handed the document on the table to Chu Jianghe, with the intention of asking him for advice to check for any omissions and fill in the gaps.

Chu Jianghe had had drinks with him several times and knew that Wu Jun was the deputy director of Li Jinming General Factory.

Chu Jianghe took the document and read it. The contents of the document were quite satisfactory, and they were all within the framework of the pilot reform of state-owned enterprises.

For example, they requested the main factory to increase the autonomy of the printing factory, update existing equipment, reform the employee evaluation system, etc.

Chu Jianghe asked: "Brother Li, are you planning to stay in the printing factory?"

In fact, there are only two ways out for Li Jinming. One is to wait for the director of the main factory to retire and Wu Jun comes to power. This will definitely require a group of capable subordinates, and this will naturally give Li Jinming an opportunity.

The other one is to make achievements in the printing factory. No matter who is in charge of the main factory, Li Jinming will be in charge sooner or later.

It seems that Li Jinming is not willing to be lonely and has chosen the second path.

Li Jinming didn't hide it from him: "Brother, since I'm here, I have to make some achievements. I can't come here in vain. Help me to see if there is anything I can add."

Li Jinming thought a lot during this period. He just walked up to it. Without a capable helper, he would inevitably be constrained by others, so he wanted to use the printing factory as a foundation to cultivate his own confidants.

Chu Jianghe glanced at it for a while before putting down the document in his hand and said, "Brother Li, this document is very well written, but I have a suggestion."

"Brother, just say it."

"I believe you, Brother Li, know what to do about updating equipment. As for business, there are many large and small schools in the capital. Just printing materials every year is a lot. If Brother Li can handle some of the schools, then I believe the printing factory’s performance will be much more stable.”

Updating equipment is not difficult as long as you have money. As for the school, Brother Li was born in a large courtyard, so I believe it has something to do with it.

Sure enough, after hearing what Chu Jianghe said, Li Jinming's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chu Jianghe with unabashed admiration. It seemed that he and he were really heroes.

"Brother, I really have you."

Chu Jianghe smiled, the teaching materials have not been unified yet, the school part is really a piece of fat.

There are so many schools in the capital, and as long as they handle a small part, it will be enough for this printing factory.

Li Jinming also came up with the idea of ​​staying in the printing factory after seeing the teaching assistant of Chu Jianghe Printing.

The quality of this thing was good. He printed hundreds more copies and gave them all away. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good.

Others can at most give you some food, drink, and supplies. What we give directly is knowledge. This is a judgment call.

If a family doesn't have a child yet, if they have a child, they have to consider going to school. This education is of paramount importance in their eyes. It just so happened that Li Jinming sent Chu Jianghe a teaching assistant, which really touched the hearts of others.

They were full of praise for the gift given by Li Jinming, and they all expressed their support for the big move Li Jinming was planning to make in the printing factory.

With the support of these people, Li Jinming dared to let go and do something big.

Otherwise, just updating the equipment would be a headache for him.

The main factory is having a hard time now. Without the support of these people, how could the main factory allocate funds to the printing factory to update equipment.

The two men then discussed the details of the printing plant's development plan, and finally Chu Jianghe mentioned his ultimate goal.

"Brother Li, it was thanks to reporter Xu's help last time that we were able to get to know each other. I am also busy with the final exams recently, so I entrust you to deliver this gift."

After Chu Jianghe finished speaking, he took out the light brown woolen coat from his bag.

Li Jinming looked at the coat in his hand with a playful look on his face: "Brother, you should give this to Xiao Yan'er. What's going on if I hand it over to you?"

After Aunt Xu heard the last time she teased Xiao Yan'er at the door, she learned that Chu Jianghe was married from Xiao Yan'er, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

In so many years, this is the first time that Xiao Yan'er has asked her to do something for someone alone. She originally thought that the two of them must be dating each other, but she didn't expect that Chu Jianghe would have been married a long time ago.

Seeing the troubled look on Chu Jianghe's face, Li Jinming felt a little soft-hearted: "Sure, don't worry, I will definitely transfer it to you."

"Thank you so much, Brother Li!"
