industrial overlord

Chapter 121 Five-Blade Fan
Liu Xianghai is leaving.

Zhang Zhifang left after only a few hours in the Hanhua factory. A certain department of the Navy stationed in Jiangnan Province sent a jeep to pick him up.Chang Qingbo and Yu Wenzheng stayed at the Hanhua Factory to help Liu Xianghai with some related matters.They stayed here with the intention of supporting Liu Xianghai. If any unscrupulous leader of the Hanhua factory dared to make things difficult for Liu Xianghai, the military would come forward to settle it.

However, this worry proved to be completely unnecessary.After learning of Liu Xianghai's true identity, the factory director and secretary came to the door one after another to greet Liu Xianghai.Chang Qingbo had already told the director of the factory, Chen Weiguo, that after Liu Xianghai returned, at least he would be restored to his original post, and the administrative level would be a deputy teacher, which is equivalent to a deputy director in the local area, half a level higher than Chen Weiguo's.Fortunately, in the past ten years, Hanhua Factory has not done anything wrong to Liu Xianghai, so everyone has a good face.

Qin Ying was busy packing and boxing the things at home, preparing to move the family back to the military base in the suburbs of Shanghai.After spending so many years in Jiangnan Province, which was relatively backward in economy and culture, Qin Ying really began to miss the prosperous life in Greater Shanghai.

The military industrial base used to be her sad place, where her father was killed by the rebels.But time has passed for such a long time, and no matter how painful the experience has been, she has been diluted. She really feels homesick.She lost her mother in her early years and had no other siblings. After her father died, she no longer has any immediate family members in Shanghai.But her girlfriends, classmates, colleagues, neighbors, etc. are still there, and Shanghai is still her home.

Qin Bo and Qin Tao were so excited that they didn't know what to do. Their parents never told them about the past. They always thought that their father was just a wood model worker. Now they suddenly heard that his father was actually a researcher in the Navy. The chief engineer of the institute, his mother also came from a famous family, and the grandfather who had never met was once a top-notch expert. The younger sister and brother only felt like a dream.

The two of them have grown up so much and have only been to Nandu. At that time, they thought how happy they would be if they could live in a big city like Nandu.Unexpectedly, now that the identities of their parents have been disclosed, they will soon go to live in a super-large city like Shanghai.Do you hear me clearly, it's not the southern capital, but Shanghai!Shanghai is 10 times bigger than the South!

The Naval Research Institute specially dispatched a large truck with a load of eight tons from Shanghai to help Liu Xianghai move. This was also a customary practice back then.After the truck arrived, dozens of workers from the Hanhua factory came to help Liu Xianghai's family load furniture, luggage and other things into the car, but Liu Xianghai and Qin Ying had no chance to help.

Back then, people didn't have much family property, but as the saying goes, a broken house is worth tens of thousands, and if you pack it up casually, you will have half a carload of things.

The people who came to help move, while doing their work, said blessings to Liu Xianghai and his wife.The old worker Zhong Rulin took Liu Xianghai's hand and said: "Old Hu, ah, no, Chief Engineer Liu, I just heard that you and Master Qin are both talents of the country! Alas, it's a pity that we are nested in this small town. I have been in the factory for so many years. I didn’t know your identities in the past, and I didn’t help you. Now you are leaving, and you can let us help you with the matter of moving.”

Liu Xianghai said movedly: "Master Zhong, Qin Ying and I have been in the factory all these years, thanks to the care of all the masters, I am ashamed, I have not made any contribution to the factory, so I have to leave now."

"Why didn't you contribute?" Zhong Rulin said, "Xiao Lin told me that the last time the 21 ice machines were tackled, it was your credit. Now our factory has won 300 million business, and the workers can get bonuses every month. , this is all your credit."

Liu Xianghai waved his hands again and again: "Don't dare to be, dare not be, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Qin Ying walked back and forth among the crowd, busy distributing cigarettes and candies to everyone, with a joyful smile on her face.For everyone who wished her well, she would sincerely invite everyone to come to her house and have a casual meal if they have the opportunity to go to Shanghai.

Qin Bo and Qin Tao's siblings were surrounded by a group of friends, they left each other's correspondence addresses, and agreed to write letters to each other.The little brother also made countless promises, threatening to send chocolates and all kinds of novelties to everyone after arriving in Shanghai.

The truck took Liu Xianghai's family's property and left, rushing back to Shanghai all the way.In fact, this car is so broken that it probably won't be worth the gas money for the round trip if it's all sold.But everyone is doing it this way. The government can reimburse the gas expenses, but the bad things are personal.The system at that time was like this. A unit could spend a few hundred yuan for sending a car to an employee, but it could not spend tens of yuan for him to settle down.

The helpers and onlookers all dispersed one after another. Qin Ying and a couple of sons and daughters were also invited to dinner at home by close colleagues. .

Liu Xianghai did not leave, he and Lin Zhenhua stood in front of the empty room, silent for a long time.The parting was imminent, neither of them knew what to say.

"Xiao Lin, why aren't you talking?" Liu Xianghai finally couldn't hold back and broke the silence.

Lin Zhenhua smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Liu, what do you want me to say? What happened in the past two days was really too dramatic. I knew for a long time that you are definitely not an ordinary person, but I still can't imagine that you will be such a great god." .”

Liu Xianghai said: "Xiao Lin, if you still consider me a friend, you can still call me the same as before, just call me Lao Liu."

Lin Zhenhua said: "How dare I, calling you Lao Hu for two years is already too presumptuous. After all, you are a senior."

Liu Xianghai patted Lin Zhenhua on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Lin, if you don't mind, consider me your friend. To be honest, if it was 20 years ago, I might really not treat someone like you Workers take it seriously. But after more than ten years of ups and downs, I understand a truth, fame and status, are not as good as a friend in need. Although you and I have only been in contact for two years, but I put you As my closest friend, I don’t know what you think.”

"Me too." Lin Zhenhua said.

"Then it's fine. Since you treat me as a friend, you can call me Lao Liu from now on."

"Okay, then I'll venture to call you Old Liu." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "Oh, I don't know if calling it that way will shorten my life."

Liu Xianghai laughed and scolded: "You little Lin! You are always so glib."

Lin Zhenhua said: "There is no way, the natural character cannot be changed."

Liu Xianghai said: "By the way, Xiao Lin, I've been busy with transfer matters these two days, and I didn't bother to have a proper talk with you. I'm about to leave now. I want to ask, how is your company doing now?" Sample?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "The business situation is very satisfactory. To tell you the truth, our profit is expected to exceed 800 million next year."

"There are so many?" Liu Xianghai asked in surprise, "Xiao Lin, I really can't see that you still have such a business mind."

Lin Zhenhua said: "However, this is only a preliminary estimate. We are now taking the lead in a market. Our product design concept is relatively new and caters to the needs of ordinary people, so the sales situation is very gratifying. Based on my understanding of domestic Based on the understanding of the market, next summer, there will be at least ten products imitating our appearance on the market, and we will still have a fierce battle to fight."

"How do you plan to deal with it?" Liu Xianghai asked with interest.

Lin Zhenhua said: "My method is to constantly launch new products and always go one step ahead of others. Our next products will be mini electric fans suitable for children and natural wind fans with variable speed. However, As for the electric fan, there is not much room for innovation, I plan to work for another year next year, earn the first pot of gold, and then consider switching to other products.”

Liu Xianghai took out a stack of papers from a handbag he carried with him, handed it to Lin Zhenhua, and said, "Xiao Lin, you have helped me a lot in the past two years, and I still don't know how to thank you. In the past two days, When I was free, I drew a picture, take it and have a look, maybe it will be of some help to you."

Lin Zhenhua took the stack of paper, unfolded it, and saw the blades of an electric fan drawn on it.Different from the common electric fans on the market, the leaves of this electric fan are five, and the shape is also slightly different.Next to the blades are written the relevant shape parameters, which can be easily molded at Lin Zhenhua's level.

"Old Liu, what does this mean?" Lin Zhenhua was a little puzzled.

Liu Xianghai said: "This is a design of an electric fan that I came up with. The wind blown by the traditional three-blade electric fan is relatively hard. After blowing for a long time, people will feel uncomfortable. The five-blade electric fan I designed The wind from the fan is much softer and has a natural cooling effect."

Lin Zhenhua said in astonishment: "No way, Lao Liu, you even understand this? How do you know that the wind blown by your five-blade electric fan will be softer?"

Liu Xianghai smiled slightly: "Xiao Lin, don't forget that I'm a propeller. To put it bluntly, I can tell the wind direction and speed by looking at the leaves of the electric fans you make. I designed this one. The curve of the leaves is precisely Calculated. Although I haven't tested it myself, I can guarantee that this fan will definitely meet the requirements of softness, quietness and power saving."

Lin Zhenhua laughed: "Old Liu, you said that you are a person who builds nuclear submarine propellers and changed your career to design electric fan blades. Is this considered overkill?"

Thinking about it, the requirements for the propeller of a submarine and the blade of a fan are really the same, they are all silent, continuously variable speed, and low energy consumption... But, which fan factory can afford a designer of this level?
"Old Liu, you gave me this design, so it's not a leak, right?"

"Nonsense, what kind of secrets can this leak, the difference between this and the thruster is very big."

"Then I will use it with confidence." Lin Zhenhua said.

Liu Xianghai said: "Oh, you are a scholar who is useless, and I can't think of anything to give you, that is, a little bit of technology. It happens that you are making a fan, and it is related to my major. This blueprint, you Use it if you think it’s useful, and forget it if it’s not.”

Lin Zhenhua stuffed the drawings into his carry-on bag like a treasure, and then said: "How can it be useless? This is a cutting-edge technology from military industry to civilian use. I will make a fortune from it for the rest of my life."

Liu Xianghai looked at Lin Zhenhua's exaggerated appearance, shook his head, and said, "Xiao Lin, there is another thing I want to tell you. You are very smart and have a sense of justice, but you have a shortcoming. , It’s just that in terms of economics, he’s acting a little too...paranoid.” He obviously considered the last word carefully, lest Lin Zhenhua would feel uncomfortable.

Lin Zhenhua didn't have any taboos, he replied: "Old Liu, you can actually say it directly, you want to say that I am too greedy for money?"

Liu Xianghai thought for a while and said: "It seems wrong to say that you are greedy for money. You are very generous to your friends, and your own life is not extravagant. It can be said that you have earned a lot of money, but you spend it yourself. There are not many, but when someone is in trouble, you often donate generously, and you don’t feel sorry for spending a lot of money. From this point of view, you really can’t be called a greedy person. "

"Thank you Chief Engineer Liu for your compliment." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile on his face.

Liu Xianghai also smiled slightly, and then said: "However, you set up Hanhua Industrial Company and insisted on owning the shares. Now that the market has become so big, you still want to continue to grow, which makes me puzzled Yes. If you continue to do this, what is your ultimate goal? I think it is enough to earn a certain amount of money. You are still young. If you can spend more of your energy on scientific research, it will benefit the country and the nation. , are all beneficial."

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "Old Liu, do you think I have earned enough money?"

"Why, it's not enough?" Liu Xianghai asked, "If according to what you said, the profit of Hanhua Industry can reach 800 million next year, and you will have 240 million in your personal name, and you will be a big capitalist. Do you still want to earn money?" 2400 million?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "My ideal is not only 2400 million, but 2 million, or 20 billion."

Liu Xianghai said: "You are crazy, what do you want so much money for?"

Lin Zhenhua replied seriously: "Old Liu, I'm not crazy. You were right about one thing just now. Of course, 240 million is enough for me personally. In fact, I don't have high requirements for the quality of life. The only The pursuit of life is to eat better. In fact, you can also see that the purpose of my earning money is not for my own consumption, but to do something.”

"What are you doing?" Liu Xianghai asked.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "I don't know exactly what I want to do now, but, Lao Liu, you believe in such a thing, every Chinese has a dream of strengthening the country in his heart."

"Dream of a strong country!" Liu Xianghai murmured the word, nodded and said, "Xiaolin, I probably understand what you want to do. I'm leaving soon, I hope you can keep your dream of a strong country, and don't be fooled by the world. About. One thing, I will only tell you one person. When I go back this time, the position given to me by the research institute is the director and chief engineer of the propulsion system engineering institute. It should have some real power. If you encounter any trouble, You can ask someone to send a message to me, and I will try my best to help you solve it. Of course, the ugly words are up front, if it is a matter of breaking the law, then I can't help you."

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "Old Liu, do you think I look like someone who broke the law?"

Liu Xianghai also laughed: "I'm just giving you a vaccination in advance."

Lin Zhenhua looked around and said, "Old Liu, let's go into the house, I have something private to tell you."

Confused, Liu Xianghai led Lin Zhenhua into the evacuated room.As soon as he entered the room, Lin Zhenhua took out a large boxy paper bag from his satchel, handed it to Liu Xianghai, and said, "Old Liu, you are leaving soon. This is my heart, please accept it."

Liu Xianghai took the paper bag and asked, "What is it, it looks like a few bars of soap?"

Lin Zhenhua laughed and said, "That's right, it's soap."

Liu Xianghai weighed the weight of the paper bag and felt that it didn't look like soap.He opened the paper bag and saw that he couldn't help being shocked. There were ten stacks of Great Unity wrapped in it, a total of 1 yuan.

"Xiao Lin, what the hell are you doing?" Liu Xianghai scolded in a low voice, holding such a large sum of money, even a big man like him was a little frightened.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old Liu, you have the skills to help me design such a good five-bladed fan. My skills are not as good as yours, and now I am so poor that I only have money left, so I can only give you some money as a gift It's gone. Don't hold it against you."

"No, no." Liu Xianghai said, "Xiao Lin, what are you kidding, this is 1 yuan, how can I accept such a heavy gift?"

As he spoke, he rewrapped the money and insisted that the fortress be returned to Lin Zhenhua.Lin Zhenhua pressed his hand and said, "Old Liu, you are clear about my financial situation. This 1 yuan is nothing to me, but it can be of great use to you. gone."

"Qin Ying and I both have salaries. What do I need so much money for?" Liu Xianghai was really impatient. If someone gave 1 yuan for no reason, he would have to be scared out of his wits.

It can be calculated that the wages of ordinary employees in those years were about 50 yuan, and 1 yuan was equivalent to 200 monthly wages.Converted to today, the salary of ordinary employees is calculated at 2000 yuan, and 200 months is 40 yuan.No matter how good a friend is, who would dare to accept 40 yuan out of thin air?

Lin Zhenhua was determined to accept Liu Xianghai, and he said firmly, "Old Liu, do you think I'm a sycophant? I gave you money because I liked your identity?"

"Of course not!" Liu Xianghai replied decisively, "Xiao Lin, I know what you are. When I was a wood modeler, you gave me a computer, which was worth several thousand dollars."

"That's it. Since you were able to accept the computer I gave back then, why can't you accept the money now?"

"It's different." Liu Xianghai said, "After all, the computer is used for research, and it's really helpful to me. And the books you bought for me are all in US dollars, which is also very expensive. I have accepted all these things. However, I don't need the money."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old Liu, you must accept this money. When you go back to Shanghai this time, it is equivalent to rebuilding a home, and many places need money. Neither you nor Sister Qin have any savings. I know that. Yes. The salary level of the research department, with all due respect, is not as good as that of our Hanhua Machinery Factory. The current situation is that those who make missiles are not as good as those who sell tea eggs, how much money can you earn?"

"It doesn't matter how much you earn, as long as you spend enough." Liu Xianghai said, "Qin Ying and I are not people who pursue a luxurious life. We can live on our own wages."

Lin Zhenhua firmly put the money into Liu Xianghai's hands, and said, "Lao Liu, to paraphrase what you said just now, if you treat me, Xiao Lin, as a friend, then accept this money. I can assure you that the money is in your hands." It will definitely be able to play a greater role than in my hands."

The two pushed for a long time, and finally, Lin Zhenhua said: "Lao Liu, let's make a compromise. I lent you the money. When you go back this time, the situation over there is in shambles and you don't know anything. I have some money in my hand, so I can save money at critical times. As for when to pay me back, you don’t have to think about it. You designed the fan for me. If this five-blade fan can sell well, I will give you a technical consultation fee, and that’s it. 1 yuan has been withheld. How do you like this?"

Liu Xianghai looked into Lin Zhenhua's eyes, sighed for a long time, and said: "Okay, I will accept it first, maybe it can really save the emergency at a critical time. But, Xiao Lin, you remember, I will not This violates any principle, if... well, forget it, I know you Xiaolin is not that kind of person."

What Liu Xianghai originally wanted to say was that if Lin Zhenhua asked him to open the back door or do other things because he gave the money, he would never agree.But thinking about the friendship with Lin Zhenhua in the past two years, knowing that Lin Zhenhua did not have any selfish intentions when he gave the money this time, if he said it too seriously, or refused to accept the money, it would hurt Lin Zhenhua's heart.Lin Zhenhua was right, the 1 yuan was a huge sum of money to Liu Xianghai, but to Lin Zhenhua, it was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Liu Xianghai finally left. The factory sent a jeep to take his family, Chang Qingbo and Yu Wenzheng who stayed with him to the train station, where they boarded the train and went back to Shanghai.

Lin Zhenhua didn't go to the station to see him off. He knew that there was no need to express the friendship between him and Liu Xianghai.

At this time, Lin Zhenhua was taking Chu Hongyang, Peng Shaozhe and several other workers to the direction of Xunyang in the factory's large Jiefang truck.

The Department of Light and Chemical Industry has given him a clear answer, agreeing that Hanhua Industrial Company will rent the plant and equipment of Xunyang Bicycle Factory, and hire workers from Xunyang Bicycle Factory in the name of outsourcing services.For specific conditions, Lin Zhenhua and Xunyang Bicycle Factory need to meet and discuss in detail.
