Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

After eating and drinking, Liu Xueqin specially sent a car to take Li Weidong and Zhao Hu back to the guest house.

This Red Star Factory is really amazing. A sales director can send a car. Unlike our company, Secretary Yu only changed into a car last year. Before that, he was riding a Beijing jeep. Zhao Hu couldn't help but sigh. stand up.

In a small place like ours, even if we arrive at the county-level cadres, don't we just take a jeep! If we are not a company specializing in transportation, Secretary Yu may not be able to get a car. Li Weidong said with a smile.

Zhao Hu took the teacup, brewed two cups of tea, handed Li Weidong a cup, and then said: I said Li Weidong, I really didn't see it, you don't blush when you lie.

A lie? Li Weidong was slightly taken aback.

Are you related to SAIC? You haven't even seen the Huangpu River, have you? I'm embarrassed to expose you. Zhao Hu pouted.

Zhao Hu is also a child of the transportation company. Everyone grew up in a large courtyard, and they must know each other well. Of course he knew that Li Weidong had no personal connections at SAIC.

In the family homes of state-owned enterprises in the 1980s, how many relatives did the family have, whether the relatives were from rural or urban areas, which units did the relatives work in, how many children did the relatives have, whether the relatives’ children were looking for a partner, and the relatives’ children Where the person you are looking for works, this is public information.

Li Weidong hiccupped before saying, If I don't say that, can Liu Xueqin return the money for us?

How are you going to explain to Liu Xueqin the lie that the raw materials are damp? When they go back and check, the materials are not damp at all. What should we do then? Zhao Hu then asked.

Don't worry, the raw materials of the Red Star Factory are indeed damp. Li Weidong said decisively.

In his previous life, Li Weidong was deducted from the bonus for three months due to the unqualified product quality of the Red Star Factory. It was also for this reason. Later, when the Red Star Factory was criticized, Li Weidong paid special attention to the content of the report and read it several times in a row. Can be said to be fresh in memory.

Things have to start in July, when a strong typhoon made landfall. Although Pingzhou City, where the Red Star Factory is located, is not a coastal city, it is only more than 200 kilometers away from the sea, so it was naturally affected by the typhoon.

The typhoon blew the roof of the raw material warehouse of the Red Star Factory, and the warehouse administrator was also very responsible. He carried out emergency repairs in the rain and repaired the roof of the warehouse. Due to the timely repair, there was no water in the raw material warehouse, and the raw materials were not damaged, but were slightly damp.

It is precisely because the raw materials were not damaged that the warehouse did not tell the production workshop about this. The production workshop did not know that the raw materials had been wet, so they directly took them for production. Therefore, the products produced by Hongxing Factory after July use damp raw materials.

According to past experience, dampness of raw materials is not a big deal. These damp raw materials are used to produce products such as tires, which will not affect the use at all. The gaskets and rubber rings used to produce the engine only cause the car to idle at an unstable speed, but the car can still be driven.

However, the Red Star Factory used this batch of damp raw materials to provide Santana with localized parts. The Germans' standards were much higher than those of domestic companies, and the Red Star Factory's products were also identified as unqualified.

A few months ago, the parts samples provided by the Red Star Factory for SAIC were qualified, but now the parts produced in batches are not qualified, which is equivalent to slapped Santana in the face of localization.

The Red Star Factory itself was not up to the mark. It took more than two months to find out the reason for the substandard product quality. At that time, it was 1985, and the joint venture company of SAIC Volkswagen was officially established.

Perhaps it is to kill the chickens and warn the monkeys, to remind other companies, or perhaps to help SAIC Volkswagen establish its prestige in the industry. The Red Star Factory unfortunately became a negative model and reported it throughout the industry.

The localization of Santana is a national key project, and the leaders who directly or indirectly participated in this project at that time were not ordinary people.

Even if the Red Star Factory is a national second-level enterprise, it can only become the chicken that was killed.

Now, with the rebirth of Li Weidong, all this has changed. The Red Star Factory immediately learned that the raw materials were damp, which led to the substandard product quality.

The roof repair of the warehouse is easy to verify. After Liu Xueqin returned to the Red Star Factory, he immediately inquired about the warehouse. After learning that the typhoon blew the roof of the warehouse, he knew that what Li Weidong said was true. The raw materials of the Red Star Factory were indeed wet.

Without any hesitation, Liu Xueqin immediately went to see the director of the Red Star Factory, and then added fuel to it. He said that the roof of the warehouse was damaged and the materials were damp. He said that it was his own discovery, and the credit was all on his own.

The next thing is the technical department. The technical department of the Red Star Factory worked overnight and finally determined that the quality of the product was not up to standard, which was caused by the dampness of the raw materials.

For Red Star Factory, this is obviously a loophole in its own management, but for Liu Xueqin, it is a big credit.

Another beneficiary, of course, is Li Weidong.

...

In the guest house of the Red Star Rubber Factory, Liu Xueqin once again treated the guests to dinner. This time, the dishes are still rich, and the wine has changed from Gujinggong to Maotai.

Moutai was brought by Liu Xueqin himself. As the sales chief of the Red Star Factory, gifts such as tobacco, wine, tea, etc., will naturally not be less. However, Liu Xueqin does not receive a few bottles of Maotai wine in a year. , this time he was willing to take out a bottle of Maotai to entertain Li Weidong, which was considered a bloodbath.

Brother Li, it's really thanks to you this time that our factory can find the reason for the substandard product quality so quickly. Come on, I'll give you a toast. Liu Xueqin raised his glass with a smile.

Brother Liu is really polite, we are all friends and we should help each other. Li Weidong tasted a mouthful of Moutai, the wine is mellow and tastes really good.

Liu Xueqin put down his glass and continued: Brother Li, when I reported to the factory leaders, I didn't mention your relationship with SAIC. I was mainly worried about the factory leaders' inquiries. Speaking of which, I'm really sorry about this matter. you.

Liu Xueqin's subtext was that he took all the credit for himself. This was explaining to Li Weidong, and at the same time, he hoped that Li Weidong would not stab it out.

Of course Li Weidong understood what Liu Xueqin meant, he smiled disdainfully, and then said very politely: After all, this is the matter of your Red Star Factory, I am an outsider, and Brother Liu doesn't mention me when he reports, that's the other way around. It's good, everyone can save some trouble.

Liu Xueqin's face was overjoyed, he immediately took out a note from his arms, handed it to Li Weidong, and said, Brother Li, this is the tire you want, then take this bill of lading and go directly to our factory to hand it over. Just take the money and pick up the goods.”

Li Weidong took the bill of lading and looked at the number on it. It turned out to be 250 tires.

Previously, Li Weidong only said that he wanted 200 tires, but Liu Xueqin approved 250 tires. The extra 50 tires were obviously an extra favor from Liu Xueqin.

This Liu Xueqin is worthy of being the head of the sales department, but he is very good at it. He gave me 50 more tires, which can be regarded as a sealing fee for me. The number of 250 is not very pleasant.

While thinking about it, Li Weidong raised his glass and said, Thank you, Brother Liu. I wish Brother Liu every step of the way.

According to your auspicious words. Liu Xueqin said with a smile on his face.

For the middle-level cadres of state-owned enterprises, it is probably their ultimate goal to go one step further and become a member of the leadership team.
