Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Lin Kaifeng said with a smile: "Think about it, the performance of agricultural four-wheel vehicles is infinitely close to that of cars. By purchasing this more advanced agricultural transport vehicle, you can not only solve the problem of local commodity transportation, but also train a large number of drivers."

"I don't need to tell you how popular drivers are these days, but everyone knows it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the heated atmosphere at the scene was pushed to its climax.

By purchasing cars and training a large number of drivers, each commune can make a lot of money.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the lively scene finally came to an end.

Lin Kaifeng promised that within three days, he would deliver the agricultural tricycles purchased by everyone to their commune.

The development of new agricultural four-wheeled vehicles will also be implemented immediately.

After leaving the office phone numbers of leaders at all levels of the machinery company, Lin Kaifeng saw everyone out of the company gate with a smile on his face.

Then, Lin Kaifeng waved his hand.

Four workers were temporarily arranged to act as security officers and guard the door of the Finance Department.

All payments for goods are piled up in the Finance Department. Do not count them or record them in the accounts for the time being.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Kaifeng took more than 20 sleepy factory leaders to the conference room for a meeting.

An ad hoc office meeting was held to discuss the next stage of sales issues.

"Comrades, today's hot scene is just the beginning. I believe that in the coming days, such scenes will appear every day."

"Communes and production brigades have transportation needs, and county-level factories, collective enterprises, and even some small state-owned factories also have transportation needs."

"We must stay alert and not let down our guard because of today's heated scene."

Lin Kaifeng repeatedly reminded everyone that the better the situation is, the more we should not be complacent.

We must improve product quality!

"Kaifeng is right. The various things that happened today have reminded us that our sales preparation work is very inadequate."

Lu Changshun continued, "The factory security department is just an empty shell. There is no security officer. A large amount of money is deposited into the account every day, so it is easy for theft and robbery to occur."

Immediately, Lu Changshun pointed out the specific problems in sales from a professional perspective.

The order at the scene was too chaotic.

The heads of various communes waved their money and scrambled to make purchases.

Not to mention what to do if a stampede occurs.

Once the banknotes fall to the ground or are stolen by someone with bad intentions.

The scene will definitely be abuzz.

Also.

The Finance Department also suffers from a serious staff shortage.

In addition to the section chief Lao Qian, the Finance Department also has two accountants and a cashier.

In order to deal with today's situation, the Finance Department can be said to have mobilized all its forces.

Even so, there were still many cases of mis-ordering money.

Not all communes brought the Great Unity notes worth ten yuan each, some of them also contained quite a few Mao Zedong notes.

One yuan, two yuan, or even fifty cents.

With so many denominations of money mixed together, it is a big problem to count them.

It is definitely not enough to rely on just Lao Qian and the other three.

When the machinery company was still a state-owned factory, its business model was to export goods in exchange for foreign exchange.

The foreign party transfers the money to the relevant department, which then converts the money into the machinery company's account.

There was almost no cash to be seen going back and forth.

The situation is very different now.

Transactions are settled in cash.

Safety and security must be the top priority.

Even if you deposit most of the money in the bank, you still have to keep a portion as an emergency fund.

As the company has more funds, it will definitely attract the covetousness of others.

The company's factory area is quite large, and there are not even people patrolling at night.

A few thieves who crawl in casually could easily get into the finance office and pry open the safe.

"This is a question I didn't consider today."

"Uncle San, go and discuss with the county's armed forces department tomorrow to strengthen our factory's security department and militia equipment."

Chen Haifeng pointed at the table and said, "We are not a state-owned factory, but we are still a state-owned enterprise. Since we are a production enterprise, we must have armed forces to protect the factory."

"I think the number of people in the security department will be set at 24. Everyone will be equipped with weapons and work in three shifts every day, hours a day."

"We will then organize a factory militia with only a frame, train them, and patrol the factory area. As the old saying goes, we are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves thinking about it."

"If we were robbed, I think everyone would feel bad."

"In the finance department..."

Lin Kaifeng thought for a moment and said, "The Finance Department is an important department, and it is necessary to expand the staff. However, this matter needs to be done slowly. Our funds are increasing, and we must carefully select financial personnel to avoid theft as much as possible."

After he finished speaking, Lin Kaifeng looked at Section Chief Qian.

"Old Qian, you go to the bank frequently, so you should be quite familiar with the leaders of the Agricultural Bank, right?"

Section Chief Qian probed, "Boss Lin, you're not trying to pry someone out of the bank, are you? I don't think this is that easy."

"You misunderstood. I asked you to contact the bank not to poach people from within, but to find a way to buy a few hand-cranked money counting machines from the bank."

Looking at the financial industry abroad, electronic money counting machines have begun to be introduced in large numbers.

In China, banknote counting mainly relies on manual labor.

The hand-cranked money counting machine was invented in the 1950s and is a very primitive money counting device.

It can only count the number of banknotes and has no ability to verify their authenticity.

First, get a batch of hand-cranked money counting machines to share the workload of the Finance Department.

Then find ways to attract professional financial personnel.

The meeting ended at three in the morning.

Everyone simply slept on the floor in the commune to rest.

At dawn, Section Chief Qian and Lu Changshun went their separate ways.

One contacted the armed forces and the other contacted the bank.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of that day, a truck from the armed forces drove into the machinery company's factory compound.

Lu Changshun opened the passenger door and jumped out, greeting the workers coming over from a distance.

Unload the weapons together and send them to the Security Department for registration.

Northern Machinery Company has been put on record by the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Both the city and the county have given a green light to the machinery company's applications.

Lu Changshun had a meal with the Minister of Armed Forces and explained the situation of the machinery company to him.

Not long after, the minister wrote a note approving twenty pistols and fifty Type 56 semi-automatic rifles for the Machine Commune.

Two light machine guns.

There were 50,000 rounds of bullets, all loaded on the truck.

With weapons, the expansion of the security department and the re-establishment of the factory militia can be implemented.

Later in the evening, Director Qian came back from the bank.

Ten hand-cranked money counting machines were purchased from the bank.

In view of the shortage of staff in the Finance Department, Lin Kaifeng assigned all the employees of the Sales Department to the Finance Department.

Being both a salesperson and a finance person.

Assist Section Chief Qian in dealing with the upcoming purchasing boom.
