Chapter 737 Installing the Phone
After discussing with Dajun and Erhu brothers, Duan Yun immediately asked Dajun to go home and prepare his luggage. In addition, he dispatched two quality inspectors from the electronics factory to go to Shenzhen with Dajun.

As for Erhu continuing to serve as Duan Yun's assistant to the manager, Erhu can drive now and is more clever, so it is most suitable to stay with Duan Yun.

The three of them had a drink that night, which was considered to be a farewell to the army. During this period, Duan Yun arranged many things for the army. In addition to being a quality inspection of the factory's products at Huafa Electronics Factory, the other is to be familiar with the local situation in Shenzhen. Report to Duan Yun the new situation and new trends of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, and the most important thing is the new policy.

The last one is to ask Dajun to communicate more with local government officials, let him know the conditions of the local factory construction and the situation of other electronics factories and machining factories in the surrounding area, and report to him at least three times a week by phone or by letter.

In fact, the communication conditions in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone are quite good. In the early 80s, Fujian Province took the lead in introducing the Japanese F-150 million program-controlled telephone exchange in China.

当时的福建省邮电管理局在1980年12月24日与富士通签订了引进合同。市话设备于1982年1月30日从日本横滨发货，4月12日安装完毕，11月27日零点正式开通。

With this Wanmen program-controlled telephone exchange, there is no need for a manual switch, so it will be much more convenient to make long-distance calls, which also allows Dajun to keep in touch with Duan Yun relatively easily.

At present, Duan Yun is still using the telephone from the labor service company. Before he resigned, he had already negotiated with the new factory director Xu Liang. There is usually a person who answers the phone in the office. Foreign businessmen can pass This phone contacted Duan Yun.

However, the relationship between Duan Yun and the labor service company is relatively tense at present. Although the two made a promise before, and Qin Gang, the director of the main factory, was also present at the time, but even so, Duan Yun did not want to be controlled by others because of such a trivial matter. So he planned to install a telephone in the office area of ​​the electronics factory.

Before the 80s, the threshold for installing a telephone for private individuals was very high. According to the regulations, you must be a cadre above the bureau level to be eligible to apply. Use public funds to install the telephone. At that time, if you introduced your boyfriend’s family situation, you would name three pieces of hardware: parents He is the director, has a phone at home, and when the boy is a college student, it is guaranteed that most young women with excellent conditions will be tempted.

In these years, the cost of installing a phone is generally around 3000 yuan, which Duan Yun can still afford, but there is still a queue for installing the phone, and sometimes it takes several months, half a year or even It will be installed for you a year later.

But if you are willing to pay more "labor fees" to the person in charge of installing the phone, then you don't need to wait so long, so Duan Yun brought 3500 yuan to Erhu this time, and asked him to fix the phone as soon as possible. solve.

In the early morning of the second day, Erhu drove to the Post and Telecommunications Building to apply for installing a telephone.

The "labor fee" of a few hundred dollars is indeed a bit ridiculous these years, but the exchange is indeed the most efficient service.

In the afternoon of that day, workers from the post and telecommunications office drove to Duan Yun's electronics factory and installed a pole on the side of the main factory and the office area of ​​Duan Yun Electronics Factory. came in.

Although there is a telephone, it is still not easy for Duan Yun to make long-distance calls to other provinces. He also needs to make long-distance calls through the post office switchboard, and it is not very convenient to wait for a period of time in between.

But even so, it is undoubtedly much more convenient now than it used to be to queue up at the post office to make phone calls. Duan Yun now only needs to arrange a special person to answer the phone, so that he can ensure timely contact with foreign merchants.

After the telephone installation is completed, Duan Yun is going to notify the dealers who have telephones in other places to remember the new telephone number of their factory. In addition, he also needs to inform CCTV to change the telephone number left on their TV advertisements. You can contact their factory directly.

But making long-distance calls is still very time-consuming. Although Daxing has fewer people making long-distance calls than BJ, Guangzhou, and Shanghai, the first long-distance call broadcast by Duan Yun took nearly half an hour. It was only through the main station of the post office that the connection was made, and the voice of the call was also very low. "Speak up, I can't hear you." came from the opposite side, but Duan Yun had no choice but to shout into the phone at the top of his voice.

But in any case, the call is still much more convenient than before. In this way, Duan Yun will be more closely connected with the Guangzhou office, Xiamen office, and Shenzhen office in the future.

The communication problem has always been an important problem that Duan Yun urgently needs to solve in his nationwide deployment, but now that he has this phone, Duan Yun has undoubtedly quickly shortened his connection with several southern offices.

As for the next step, Duan Yun plans to allocate part of the money to install a telephone in the Guangzhou and Xiamen offices to achieve the most efficient communication in the three places.

While Duan Yun was busy making long-distance calls to dealers in various places, problems appeared again at the labor service company.

The successive reductions in workers' performance-based wages have dealt a serious blow to the morale of front-line workers. Although these workers still commute to and from get off work normally, they have completely lost their original motivation, especially after Duan Yun's previous welfare housing ranking system was cancelled. Even some veteran workers and model workers in the factory began to feel a little negative about their work, going to work at the right time and leaving get off work at the right time, basically few of them were willing to work overtime.

The work efficiency in the factory dropped rapidly, which made Xu Liang's life a little difficult. Although he was still working hard to set an example for the workers in the factory every day, it did not bring the effect he wanted, even when he entered the workshop. At that time, none of the front-line workers greeted him, and the resistance and dissatisfaction were written on everyone's face.

The broken carburizing furnace has been shut down for a whole week, and there is still no good way to repair it, which makes Xu Liang a little annoyed, and a few days ago, he had already canceled it at the factory committee meeting. Cheng Qingyan's position as chief of the technical department, and her bonus for the month was withheld.

Part of Xu Liang's intention in doing this was obviously aimed at Duan Yun. He thought that by putting pressure on Duan Yun's girlfriend, Duan Yun could obediently return to the factory to repair the machine. However, what disappointed him was Cheng Qingyan's punishment for this time. He didn't seem to care, and Duan Yun didn't respond at all...
