When will I have a long tassel?

By this time, it was already time for lunch. Zhao Zhaoxin personally accompanied Liu Yanping and Tang Zifeng to the canteen, and a group of factory leaders also went to accompany them. Liu Yanping and Tang Zifeng are no strangers to banquets in the company. They just say polite words to each other, toast in various ways, and talk about revolutionary friendship. There was no need to go into details as they drank and drank together happily.

After dinner, office director He Wenjing led Liu Yanping and Tang Zifeng to the guest house to rest, while the others followed Zhao Zhaoxin back to the factory director's office to discuss Tang Zifeng's suggestions.

"What does the second game mean?" Le Minhua was the first to speak. He frowned and said, "This is obviously something arranged by the second game, but a young man with no hair is allowed to take advantage of the opportunity. Come and talk to us about the banner, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"

"According to Liu Yanping, Director Xie has spoken and said that the Second Bureau will not be involved in this matter." Xia Min reminded.

Deputy Director Xu Shi said disapprovingly: "Lao Xia, let's just listen to Liu Yanping's words. If the Second Bureau really wasn't involved in this matter, why did they ask Liu Yanping to follow them? Isn't this obvious? ?”

Zhao Zhaoxin said: "I have been thinking about Director Xie's thoughts just now. I think that the Second Bureau wanted to do this but did not want to take responsibility, so they adopted such a roundabout tactic. Although Zhou Heng said that he was facing an opportunity now Factory director, but he used to be the director of the Mechanical and Electrical Department, and the Second Bureau sent him to the first machine, which is a temporary emergency. It is estimated that he will be asked to go back in a year or two, and maybe he will be promoted to deputy Director.

"So, what Zhou Heng took the lead to do is actually what the second bureau has to do. But now the second bureau does not come forward directly, but does it in the name of Lin Yiji, which clearly means to stay out of the matter. Everything must be done If we as enterprises are to do this, don’t expect the Second Bureau to provide us with money and policies.”

"If that's the case, then what the hell are we doing!" Xu Shi swore directly.

Le Minhua said: "You can't say that. The key is to see whether this matter is beneficial to us. If it is beneficial to us, it doesn't hurt for us to participate. If there is no benefit, then let's first see what other factories do. , and then decide what we should do.”

Xia Min said: "Old Zhao, Old Le, I think what Tang Zifeng said this morning is of some significance. We cannot afford the research on five-axis linkage by just one of our factories. If you can It will be much easier if we work together and share the cost among each company.”

"But in this case, who has the final say?" Xu Shi asked.

Xia Min said: "Didn't Tang Zifeng say that everyone will pay to establish an independent legal entity, and this unit will handle it on its own without anyone intervening?"

Zhao Zhaoxin asked with a sneer: "So, which factory will send the person in charge of this legal entity?"

"This..." Xia Min was speechless. He really hadn't thought about this problem. If you think about it carefully, there really is a pit in this place. Who knows what is buried underneath.

Le Minhua said: "This matter was initiated by Linyiji. I guess they will send someone to be the person in charge in the end, right? In this way, it is equivalent to us paying to help Linyiji build a technical center. When the time comes , what to study and what not to study are all decided by the opportunity, so we just pick up some leftover scraps from the side."

"I don't think that's the case, right?" Xia Min argued, "Since everyone is paying for it together, everything must still be done through discussion. By the way, didn't Tang Zifeng say there will be a joint meeting? By then, each company I don’t believe that Lin Yiji has the nerve to act arbitrarily.”

Zhao Zhaoxin said: "Zhou Heng is going back to the second bureau to be the leader, so he won't look too ugly. He will definitely do things for the sake of face. Since they proposed to establish a joint meeting system, then on the surface I guess democratic decision-making will still be maintained. But if the results of this democratic decision-making are not good for our chances, should we still accept it?"

"Of course we won't accept results that are unfavorable to us." Xu Shi said matter-of-factly.

Le Minhua said: "But if we don't accept it, won't we be isolated in the joint meeting?"

"What are we afraid of being isolated? The worst we can do is quit. This is an organization that we voluntarily join. If it's not good for us, we just quit. What else can they do to us?" Xu Shi said.

Le Minhua said: "Other 19 companies have joined, and we are the only one to withdraw. The impact is too bad. The Second Bureau said it would not intervene in this matter, but if we do it too obviously, Director Zhao will be turned back to the Second Bureau." When the bureau is in a meeting, your face is not glorious, right?"

Zhao Zhaoxin said: "It doesn't matter whether I have a bright face or not. What I'm worried about is that if an opportunity arises to unite those 19 companies and exclude us, they will take away some of the benefits in the industry. Our lives will be difficult.”

"What the hell is this!" Xu Shi said angrily, "Originally, everyone was engaged in production normally, but now we have to do something weird and hold a joint meeting. Isn't this like what is written in that novel? Like Zuo Lengchan, do you want to be the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance?"

"Maybe Zhou Heng had this idea." Zhao Zhaoxin said, "The second round of the year before last sent him to Linyiji. He got out of trouble in one year and made a huge profit in two years. He stole the show. I wonder if this old guy is He felt a little distracted and felt that just doing a good job was not enough for him, so he wanted to get his hands in companies like ours."

Le Minhua said: "Old Zhao, you can't say that. We know Zhou Heng quite well. He has always had a big picture view, and it's not like this now. I think this matter may not be the case. Zhou Heng did it all by himself, maybe it was Director Xie's intention, and he just let Zhou Heng handle it.

"Lao Xia also said just now that there is some benefit to everyone joining together. At least in terms of technology research and development, joining forces will be more powerful. I read an expert analysis in a magazine and said that once China joins the WTO, many industries will be affected. Due to the impact of the international market, industries with weak technical capabilities will be completely eliminated.

"Our Qingji's technical level still has a certain status in the country, but compared with other foreign companies, we are far behind. Not to mention Japan and Germany, even South Korea's technology is better than ours. South Korea's technology is better than ours. We still can’t build a turn-milling center built by others. If things continue like this, our situation will not be good.”

"This is where I hesitate." Zhao Zhaoxin sighed, "Originally, if the second bureau took the lead in doing this and everyone participated, there would be no problem at all. The second bureau still pays attention to one bowl when doing things. The water level is flat and no company will suffer. We are involved and there is nothing to worry about. Now we have changed the method and are talking about the principles of market economy. Who knows what tricks there may be in it."

"Then...shall we participate or not?" Xia Min was a little confused. He had been tempted by Tang Zifeng's words before, but now after listening to the analysis by his colleagues, he felt that it was unreliable. But he was a little unwilling to just quit and not participate in this cooperation. The pie that Tang Zifeng showed him was quite tempting.

Zhao Zhaoxin said: "Well, let's wait and see first. Didn't Tang Zifeng say he wants to contact 20 companies? Let him contact them first. If other companies join, we will join too. If other companies have any opinions, Then let's discuss it. The joint meeting he mentioned can be held first. It is much better for everyone to discuss some things at the meeting than to talk about it individually. "

"Yes, if anything happens, we will talk to Zhou Heng. What can we talk about with this Tang Zifeng?" Le Minhua said.

Tang Zifeng got up from a nap in the guest house, and the answer he heard was that Qingji said it would "consider it again". Tang Zifeng was not surprised by this result. He came out this time to give a briefing to various companies. In order to truly achieve cooperation, he had to wait for the leaders of each company to get together for a meeting before it could be finalized.

"Director Zhao, how are our Qingji's production tasks this year? Can we have enough to eat?"

In the factory director's office, Tang Zifeng asked Zhao Zhaoxin pretending to be casual. Since there had already been a meeting in the morning, Zhao Zhaoxin did not arrange for other factory leaders to come over in the afternoon. Instead, he invited Liu Yanping and Tang Zifeng to his office for a private meeting. He only asked He Wenjing to accompany him.

Although it is now an era of market economy, and the business of each enterprise mainly comes from the market, for old factories such as Linyiji and Qingji, leaders are still accustomed to calling the business "production tasks", which also follows the plan economic period. Tang Zifeng was not used to speaking like this, but after hanging out with Zhou Heng and Qin Zhongnian for a long time, he learned their language habits.

When Tang Zifeng asked about business issues, Zhao Zhaoxin had a bitter look on his face and said: "The situation is not ideal. Our original plan this year was to achieve an output value of 220 million, but now it is mid-October and we are still short of 80 million. We can't do it. Well, we’re going to lose money again this year.”

Tang Zifeng said: "There are still more than two months left. Unless there is any big business, it may not be easy to complete the plan."

"Yes." Zhao Zhaoxin sighed, "The entire market has improved somewhat in the past two years, but the costs of enterprises have also increased. In addition, since last year, many Korean machine tool companies have entered, trying desperately to grab our market. Our days are just I’m afraid it’s getting sadder and sadder.”

"We do have a small product there. I think we can get a lot of business before Christmas. I don't know if Director Zhao is interested." Tang Zifeng said with a mysterious look on his face.

Zhao Zhaoxin asked: "What kind of small product can have big business?"

Tang Zifeng said with a smile: "It is a small machine tool for home use, mainly for export. We estimate that if nothing unexpected happens, it will have a business scale of 20 to 30 million in order to catch up with the Christmas market in the West."
