Chapter 453 The Honest Factory Directors
"Hehe, they are all old couples, there is nothing to avoid." Lin Zhenhua laughed, and generously embraced Yang Xin's shoulders, and kissed her on the forehead.

The factory directors and managers present were all stunned at first, and then applauded cracklingly.In the early 90s, the social atmosphere was in the process of changing from conservative to open. Lin Zhenhua's public display of affection was still acceptable under the conditions at the time. Of course, this did not match Lin Zhenhua's identity. .When Lin Zhenhua did this, it gave people a feeling that he did not regard himself as a leader, but just a naughty young man.

Among the other leaders present, the youngest was more than 10 years older than Lin Zhenhua and Yang Xin. Seeing Lin Zhenhua being so careless and not caring about his image, the distance between Lin Zhenhua and Lin Zhenhua became closer in his heart.

Yang Xin was caught off guard, and was kissed by Lin Zhenhua in public, and his neck turned red with embarrassment.She punched Lin Zhenhua pretending to be angry, and scolded: "You are so shameless."

"Haha, sister-in-law, Mr. Lin is showing his true feelings. Alas, we old men can't keep up with the society." The factory directors laughed and joked one by one, and the atmosphere at the scene became relaxed for a while.

Yang Xin was not really angry with Lin Zhenhua. In fact, there is no woman who does not like to show off her happiness to others.Lin Zhenhua made out with her in public, which made her feel flattered.She took Lin Zhenhua's bag aside and put it down, brought Lin Zhenhua a cup of tea, and asked in a low voice, "Zhenhua, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest first or talk to the leaders first?"

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said to the crowd: "All the leaders are seniors, how dare I say that I am tired in front of everyone. How about it, shall we chat here, or go to the conference room?"

"Go to the conference room, it's more spacious there." Yang Xin said, "You go there first, and I'll arrange for someone to pour tea for you."

A group of people surrounded Lin Zhenhua and came to the meeting room, and they had another argument over the issue of seating.According to everyone's opinion, Lin Zhenhua should undoubtedly sit in the middle position.Lin Zhenhua insisted that seniority should be considered, and Huang Qingyu was asked to sit in the middle.After a lot of pushing, Lin Zhenhua finally sat in the middle seat, and the rest of the factory directors and managers sat in the next seats in order of the size of the factory.

After everyone sat down, Gao Decai hurriedly said to Lin Zhenhua: "Mr. Lin, this 45-ton ethylene transformation project has been a complete success, which is a great event for our petrochemical equipment industry." Ah. Mr. Zhang from the head office asked Minister Gu to bring a message, saying Mr. Lin, you are the number one contributor to this project."

"That's right, that's right." Jiang defined not to be outdone, and quickly added, "Minister Gu also said that when the superiors went to the head office to inspect the work, they also mentioned this matter. You also appreciate Mr. Lin. ah."

Lin Zhenhua smiled and waved his hands and said: "Everyone is serious. In fact, the heroes of this ethylene battle are all of you. I just played the role of matchmaker. As you all know, I have a background in machinery, and I have no experience with petrochemical equipment. I'm not good at it. Moreover, I was suspended for a period of time by the province for review, and I never had the opportunity to participate in this project."

"That's your Jiangnan Province messing around!" Huang Qingyu said decisively, his Beishi Machinery Factory is not an enterprise in Jiangnan Province, and he doesn't care about accusing Jiangnan Province, "A young and promising cadre like Mr. What kind of suspension review? Isn’t this nonsense? However, I heard that Mr. Lin was also a blessing in disguise. Comrade Xiaoping personally rehabilitated you and directly designated you Hanhua Heavy Industry as his experimental field. Good guy, this is simply a piece of land. Gold lettering."

"During that time, although Mr. Lin did not directly participate in this project, Secretary-General Xiao Yang has been working in the research institute. Who doesn't know that she is your spokesperson?" Gao Decai added, "I heard that our factory will participate in the project. The technician who tackled the problem said that Secretary-General Xiao Yang is very capable and orderly. You are so enviable as husband and wife."

At this time, Yang Xin happened to come in with two waiters carrying tea. Hearing what Gao Decai said, Yang Xin said with a smile: "Director Gao made fun of me again. do something."

"Come, come, sister-in-law, sit down quickly, you sit in my seat, next to Mr. Lin." Gao Decai hurriedly greeted him, pretending to get up and give up his seat.

Of course Lin Zhenhua would not let Gao Decai give up his seat to Yang Xin, he pulled Gao Decai, Gao Decai half pushed and half sat down again on the spot.Lin Zhenhua motioned Yang Xin to find an empty seat at the corner of the conference table, then coughed lightly, and started to get down to the topic: "Everyone, I just took a look. The leaders of the major manufacturers participating in this big ethylene battle are all here today. Here it is. How about we take this opportunity to discuss our future cooperation plans?"

"Yes, yes, let's discuss."

"That's right, it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Today is a coincidence, and everyone is here."

Everyone nodded in agreement. In fact, they heard that Lin Zhenhua was coming today, so they went to the Secretariat office to wait for an excuse. Everyone wanted to discuss the follow-up cooperation with Lin Zhenhua as soon as possible.

After everyone responded in a chaotic manner, Huang Qingyu said: "Mr. Lin, Minister Gu came over two days ago, and he has clearly told everyone that during the Eighth Five-Year Plan and the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, the country will install 10 sets of 30-ton ethylene equipment. The earliest The current plan is to only produce 8 sets, all of which are imported from abroad. Last time when Hanhua and ALK discussed the transfer of ethylene technology, the Ministry of Petroleum planned to provide one set to Hanhua.

This time the big ethylene battle was successful. The head office and the State Planning Commission changed their original intentions and decided to increase the number of projects to 10 sets, of which at least 6 sets should be handed over to domestic enterprises for completion. If possible, 10 sets would be the best. All done domestically.Mr. Lin, what do you think of this matter? "

Lin Zhenhua said: "There is no need to hesitate about this issue. We must strive to keep all 10 sets of equipment in China. In the past, we couldn't do it, so we had to let foreign devils do it. Now that we have mastered the technology in this area, it is a one-stop job." There is no soup left for the foreign devils."

"Haha, well said!" Jiang defined clapping his hands, "I just appreciate Mr. Lin's courage, don't I? We Chinese, why let the foreign devils take away our own money?"

Huang Qingyu said: "We are carrying out the transformation of 45 tons of ethylene this time, and we are taking the path of a big battle. In the future, we will still do the same for the 10 sets of 30 tons of ethylene?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "I'm afraid we need to discuss this issue together. My opinion is that we still maintain the current cooperation model, with one company taking the lead as the general contractor, and the other companies are responsible for the parts they are good at. With division of labor, each company You can focus on doing only one thing, so it is easy to improve technically, and it is worth improving in terms of equipment.”

Everyone understands what Lin Zhenhua said. If the 10 sets of large ethylene equipment are assigned to each factory to do it themselves, then each factory must take down the entire set of technology. Even if the existing technology of each factory can be exchanged and does not need to be redeveloped, the relevant equipment is to repurchase.For example, for the special welding machines used in the manufacture of large spherical tanks, each family purchases a set, which creates duplication and waste.

It is very clear that each company focuses on doing one thing, which can generate economies of scale and help save costs.But the obstacle that exists is how to distribute the benefits.If each enterprise becomes a subcontractor, whether the original profit level can be guaranteed is what the factory managers are most concerned about.

"Hehe, I can understand everyone's feelings. Are you worried about profit distribution?" Lin Zhenhua looked at the factory directors who were looking at each other in dismay and hesitated to speak, and directly pointed out everyone's worries.

"Boss Lin is really quick to talk." Jiang Yiyi said with a dry smile, "If you want to say, we all do things for the country. The profit is not profitable, so don't worry about it too much. In the past when all profits were handed over, Don’t we work in the same way? However, today’s society is not the same as in the past, and the sense of responsibility of the workers is not as strong as in the past. Now as a factory manager, besides production, what kind of workers’ bonuses should be considered? Ah, benefits, housing, we all have to think about it, if there is no profit, it will not be easy for us."

"Yes, yes. In fact, it is understandable for the workers to want more bonuses. The prices are so high now. As factory managers, we have to think about the workers." Gao Decai hurriedly echoed.

This is to frighten Lin Zhenhua's accumulative prestige. Everyone is embarrassed to ask for profits openly, so they have to use the workers' demands as a shield.If Lin Zhenhua was replaced by Gu Jiahua from the head office, these people would probably not be so polite. People like Jiang Yifei and Huang Qingyu, when they went to the Ministry of Petroleum to fight for interests, they did their part and would not let go.

Lin Zhenhua laughed secretly in his heart, it seems that everyone also knows the power of the market economy.In the era of the planned economy, the country is everyone's parents, and the money you earn is handed over to your parents, but when you are short of money, you can also beg for nothing. It is a matter of course for parents to ask for money.

But under the conditions of a market economy, it is not so easy to ask for money.As far as the large ethylene project is concerned, only Hanhua Heavy Industries has mastered the overall design capability, so Hanhua Heavy Industries must be the general contractor who can become the general contractor.Hanhua Heavy Industry is not everyone's parents. If it doesn't give you money, no one can do anything about it.As for the fact that each factory has mastered some technologies in their hands, this is not a threat to Hanhua. If Hanhua is in a hurry, it will go to the international market to recruit subcontractors and get rid of you. What can you do?

Just because of this in mind, the factory directors can play around in front of Gu Jiahua, but they can only be honest and good children in front of Lin Zhenhua.
