Life 1984

Chapter 282 Ward inspection!

north gold.

On Chaoyangmenwai Street, there are alleys such as Taiping Lane and Yangjia Hutong to the east.There are house numbers 1 to 29 in Yangjia Hutong, which contain Beijin Medical Equipment Factory, Beijin Hoisting Equipment Factory, Beijin Copier Factory, Chaoyang Primary School and other units.

A taxi stopped at the door of the photocopier factory.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi got out of the car and walked to the security room to register.

"Hello, comrade, is your factory director here?" Li Yunhai asked the guard politely.

"Who are you? What do you want from the factory director?"

"We are from Sihai Group. Our company deals in office equipment. I want to discuss business with your factory director."

"Sihai Group, oh, I understand, Sihai typewriters are produced by your factory, right? I see your company's advertisements every night."

"Oh, yes."

The security guard asked them to register their information and pointed them in the direction of the factory director's office.

Li Yunhai said thank you, and went to the office building with Lin Zhi and found the factory director's office.

There are two desks in the factory director's office, and a young man is sitting inside, with a clean face and a polite manner.

Li Yunhai could tell at a glance that the young man was not the factory director.He knocked on the open door and asked with a smile: "Hello, comrade, is Director Zhao here?"

The young man raised his head, glanced at Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi, and asked, "Who are you? Do you have anything to do with Director Zhao?"

"We are from Sihai Group. Our company mainly deals in office equipment. We would like to discuss some business with Director Zhao."

"Sihai Group? The company that sells Sihai typewriters, right?"

"Yes."

"Oh, please come in quickly. Director Zhao has left the workshop and should be back soon. Please wait a moment."

"Okay, thank you."

There is a newspaper rack in the office.

Li Yunhai took a newspaper and sat on a chair to read it.

Lin Zhi tilted her head slightly and looked at the newspaper in his hand.

She pointed to a piece of news and said: "Yunhai, look, this year's International Printing Technology Exhibition is going to be held again!"

Li Yunhai read the report carefully and said: "We can also participate. Public, private, and joint venture printing press factories, printer factories, and copier factories across the country can participate in this exhibition."

The young man poured two glasses of water over and placed them in front of them. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Does your Sihai Group also produce copiers?"

Li Yunhai thanked him and said, "Not yet. We are now producing printers and copiers will be available soon."

There was a heavy sound of walking outside the door, urgent and fast. It could be heard that the owner of these footsteps should be a man who moved vigorously and resolutely.

Steady footsteps came to the office.

The young man shouted: "Director Zhao. People from Sihai Group are looking for you."

Director Zhao was about 40 years old, tall and strong, wearing khaki work clothes. He looked at Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai stood up and smiled: "Hello, Director Zhao, I am Li Yunhai from Sihai Group. Nice to meet you."

Director Zhao ouched and stretched out his hand: "You are Mr. Li! I have long admired your name!"

In the past year, Sihai Group has been advertising on CCTV every day. I am afraid that not many people have never heard of Sihai Group.It's just that most people don't think about it carefully after reading it, but peers naturally pay more attention to it.

Coupled with the typing competition held in Shanghai last year, Sihai Group's typewriters became famous all over the world.

Because of this matter, Lianxiang Company had great complaints against Sihai Group.

The other party said he wanted to file a complaint, but in the end he didn't.

Perhaps they also know that there is a big gap between their products and Sihai typewriters, which cannot be made up by filing a lawsuit.If you lose the game and then lose the lawsuit, wouldn't it mean that Sihai Typewriter is even more praised?

Li Yunhai also wanted to wait for the other party to continue making trouble so that he could make a fuss about it, but nothing happened.

That typewriter competition made Sihai Typewriter famous, and major media across the country rushed to report on it.

Director Zhao smiled and said: "Sihai typewriters are very easy to use. We bought two of them in the factory and use them for the clerks in the office. They have been used for so long and they have never malfunctioned. This shows that the quality is very good!"

This man's name is Zhao Yi, and he is a very cheerful man from Northern Jin Dynasty.

Both of them made office equipment, so they had common topics when chatting.

Li Yunhai talked about the development history and current situation of domestic copiers.

In 1965, my country's first electrostatic copier was born in Factory 754.

However, if you want to use it commercially and popularize it on a large scale, it is slim.Because of patent protection, some things can be done, but they are not worth it.

Konica Minolta, Xerox, Ricoh, HP, Kyocera and other brands, these technology pioneers, have created an open road through market cultivation. Everyone has been walking on it for many years and feels very comfortable and accustomed to it. Become natural.

At this time, we want to open a branch road next to it to divert traffic. Under patent protection, your road cannot be the same as the existing road. If it is the same, you will need to pay a lot of patent fees.Under such circumstances, creating a new path requires considering costs and diverting traffic. How difficult it is!

But no matter how difficult it is, you have to face it head on.

In 1966, the Jinmen Reproduction Technology Research Institute, with the New Materials Research Laboratory as its main body, was established in Tianjin.

In 1967, my country trial-produced the first Seagull Se-1 large-scale engineering drawing copier.

In 1974, my country's first independently designed and developed selenium electrostatic copier for office use was born in the state-owned Hanguang Machinery Factory. A total of more than 8 units were produced, with an output value of more than 1 million yuan.

After the reform and opening up, foreign copiers entered our country in large numbers.

In 1984, Canon signed a technical cooperation agreement with my country to produce copiers in Zhanjiang and Tianmen. This marked Canon's official entry into the Chinese market. In the same year, Canon launched the digital laser copier "NP-9030".

Ricoh Company cooperates with Guilin Instrument Factory.

Copier factories such as Shanghai Xerox, Jinmen Canon, Hanguang Youmei, Zhanjiang Canon, Guilin Ricoh, Huacheng Ricoh, Jiangcheng Youyi, etc. were established one after another to jointly divide my country's copier market.

With the entry of foreign copiers, domestic copier factories have only two options, either joint ventures or lost in the dust of history.

Beijin Copier Factory has not caught up with the express train of joint ventures and has been left far behind by its peers.

In the era of planned economy, Beijin Copier Factory could still survive. Anyway, the products produced were digested by relevant enterprises and institutions.

But by the mid-80s, Beijin Copier Factory was losing money every year.

The factory cannot allocate funds for research and development, and there are no foreign-funded copier factories for technical cooperation. The products produced have single functions and average effects. They lag behind similar products and will be eliminated by the market. It is a foregone conclusion.

Talking about the current situation of the factory, Zhao Yi let out a helpless sigh and said, "Mr. Li, don't talk to me about the future. Our factory has no future."

He raised two fingers of his right hand and said: "Two years, our factory can last for another two years at most!"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly: "Director Zhao, why are you so pessimistic? Didn't I come to you for cooperation?"

Zhao Yi was startled and said in surprise: "Mr. Li, your Sihai Group also produces copiers? Why haven't I heard about it?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "We are planning to produce copiers, which requires a large number of technical talents and a production factory. I have prepared two plans. One is to build a factory by myself and recruit people myself, and the other is to acquire an existing copier factory. .”

Zhao Yi asked: "Then you are here?"

Li Yunhai said: "To be honest, I came to your factory just to seek cooperation. If I can acquire your factory, then I will do so. If your factory does not sell, then I will discuss technical cooperation with you."

He prepared two plans. Based on the current situation of Beijin Copier Factory, they can always find a way to cooperate.

Zhao Yi thought for a long time and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I am the director of the factory, but the person who can decide the fate of the factory is not me."

Li Yunhai expressed his understanding, took out two contracts, handed them to Zhao Yi, and said: "This is the cooperation draft I prepared. Please take a look at it, Director Zhao. If you think the conditions I offered are acceptable, I will be happy with your factory's future prospects." The development is beneficial, please forward it to your superiors for reading, and if cooperation can be reached, please inform us."

Zhao Yi took the contract, unfolded it and read it over. He was slightly moved and his face became serious.

The conditions Li Yunhai opened are very favorable.

If acquired, Sihai Group is willing to offer 5000 million yuan.

The existing assets of Beijin Copier are not worth this price, because the existing factories and machines are actually second-hand goods. If depreciation is included, they are not worth much.

The 5000 million acquisition plan can be considered very good.

Li Yunhai specified in the contract that after the acquisition by Sihai Group, it would invest 2 million yuan in comprehensive renovation and research and development of new all-Chinese copiers.

In addition, Li Yunhai also provided the option of technical cooperation, that is, Sihai Group will provide money and Beijin Copier Factory will provide personnel and efforts, and the two companies will cooperate to develop new products.

It has to be said that the conditions offered by Li Yunhai are very attractive and can be considered fair.

Zhao Yi held his chin, looked at the two contracts in his hand, pondered for a long time, and sighed: "Mr. Li, you are a person with great ambitions and a generous person! Personally, I am very willing to work with you. You cooperate. I even hope that you can acquire our factory and lead us to new glory! But I can't make the decision. I will submit these two contracts to my superiors and strive to reach cooperation with you."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Then I will wait for the good news from Director Zhao."

Lin Zhi saw that Zhao Yi was willing to cooperate, but he might face great resistance. With a thought, he said: "The reform of state-owned enterprises has begun, and employees of state-owned enterprises in major cities have been diverted. In the reform of state-owned enterprises, Employees should have more rights in choosing the direction. They were the owners of the factory before, and their opinions should be carefully listened to as to where the factory will go in the future. Director Zhao, do you think so?"

She was reminding Zhao Yi that the factory's reform path cannot be decided by one person, nor can it be decided by just a word from the superiors. Your factory should hold a workers' meeting and listen carefully to the opinions of all workers.

In this era, workers are the owners of the factory, at least officially.

If more than half of the employees in the factory pass the enterprise reform plan, no one will have anything to say.

Lin Zhi's words gave Zhao Yi the direction.

Zhao Yi's eyes lit up and he laughed and said, "Mr. Li, you are surrounded by capable people!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Let me introduce you, this is Lin Zhi. She is my fiancée and the HR manager of Sihai Group."

Zhao Yi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes. Comrade Lin Zhi's opinion is in my opinion! Then we will hold a factory-wide workers' meeting to listen to everyone's opinions before making a decision."

He asked again: "Mr. Li, how long will you stay in Beijing?" Li Yunhai said: "Three to five days! When you have made a decision, you can call our company. Even if we have returned to Xizhou, I will come again to sign a cooperation agreement with you."

Zhao Yidao: "Mr. Li, this is what I think. When our factory holds a workers' meeting, can you please attend? I will ask you to explain how the acquisition will be carried out, the retention and remuneration of employees after the acquisition, etc. Your words are more convincing."

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Okay! When will you hold the workers' meeting?"

Zhao Yi said without further ado, I will send a notice today and hold a workers' meeting in our factory at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. What do you think?
Li Yunhai asked them how many employees the factory currently has?

Zhao Yi said that our factory has a small number of workers, with only more than 200 workers.

Li Yunhai said yes, then I will definitely come over tomorrow morning, so I won't disturb your work for now.

Zhao Yi shook hands with Li Yunhai and sent them out of the office.

He turned around, picked up the phone and called the superior authority to report the matter.

Is the factory sold?Or cooperation?

This matter is of great importance and must be left to the competent authorities for decision, while the voices of the workers must also be listened to.

The superior authorities cannot make an immediate decision and must hold a meeting to study it.

However, Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi left the factory and rushed to the Beijin People's Machinery Factory without stopping.

This factory, referred to as Beiren Factory, is much more powerful than Beijin Copier Factory!
In the early 80s, the three types of offset printing machines produced by Beiren Factory were unique in our country at that time.

Their printing machines sell for tens of thousands of yuan in China, but they sell for even higher prices when exported abroad.

For example, JJ204 web two-color offset printing can be sold for 500 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, which is equivalent to 150 million yuan based on the exchange rate at that time.

Of course, Li Yunhai has to adopt different cooperation methods when dealing with different factories.

He also prepared two different contracts for Beiren Factory, one for high-price acquisition and one for technical cooperation.

What Li Yunhai values ​​​​is the technical talents of state-owned factories.

In the past few decades, all high-end talents have been allocated to state-owned enterprises.

The largest number of technical talents in my country's printing industry come from factories in the north.

If Li Yunhai wants to develop a copier, he cannot do without excellent talents and can only find cooperation with state-owned enterprises.

If he can acquire it, he will acquire it; if he cannot acquire it, he will negotiate technical cooperation.

The leaders of Beiren Factory met with Li Yunhai, and the two parties discussed cooperation.

As Li Yunhai expected, it was impossible for Beiren Factory to be sold.

Li Yunhai proposed technical cooperation, with Sihai Group paying and Beiren Factory sending people to jointly develop the copying technology Li Yunhai needed.

This is of course a very good thing for Beiren Factory.

For state-owned factories in the 80s, no one had sufficient funds, and the factory's revenue had to be handed over to the state.How much money does the company invest in research and development every year?The amount of bonuses and benefits each year is also determined by superiors.

If the factory can receive private work by itself, then this income will be disposed of by the factory, which is equivalent to the factory's small treasury.The factory can use it to purchase new equipment, develop new products, or give it to employees as benefits.

The two parties hit it off immediately, and Sihai Group and Beijin People's Machinery Factory signed a package of in-depth cooperation plans.

After signing the contract, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi came to the school where Lin Zhenbang was studying, and invited him to have dinner with him after class.

Lin Zhenbang said there was no need to go to the Eighth Building. We would just find a small restaurant nearby and have something to eat. He had classes in the evening.

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Dad, what's going on? You are in a refresher class and you have classes at night?"

Lin Zhenbang smiled and said: "Do you think dad is traveling? This is the highest level advanced training class in the country. The schedule is very tight. I am getting older, and my learning ability and memory are not as good as before. It requires more time and effort. Only with energy can you keep up with the class.”

The three of them chatted and laughed and found a mutton-shabu restaurant in Lao Beijin.

Li Yunhai ordered several large plates of mutton, as well as some fresh tripe, cabbage, tofu, and vermicelli. The staple food was mixed noodles and sesame cakes.

The three of them had a great time eating together around the copper stove, which was more atmospheric than eating at a big banquet.

Lin Zhenbang had to go to class in the evening, so he stopped drinking liquor and gave each person a bottle of beer.

Li Yunhai toasted Lin Zhenbang with a glass of wine and asked: "Uncle, after this training class is over, will you go back to Xizhou or stay in Beijing?"

Lin Zhenbang shook his head: "The organization hasn't talked to me yet. We are just a brick, moved wherever it is needed. Yunhai, your projects and factories, you can start construction when it is time. I don't need this bargaining chip. Do you understand what I mean? ?No matter where I go in the future, I will have deep feelings for Xizhou, and I sincerely hope that Xizhou will develop better and better."

Li Yunhai expressed that he understood and respected Lin Zhenbang very much because Lin Zhenbang was truly selfless and dedicated to the public.

Lin Zhenbang said while rinsing the dishes: "Comrade Xiao Yuan told me that you wanted to divest your capital. I promised him that I would talk to you."

Li Yunhai thought to himself that since Xiao Yuan had already asked Lin Zhenbang to plead for mercy, he should just give up.

People in the province should understand that it must be Lin Zhenbang's contribution that Sihai Group's projects can stay.

Li Yunhai decided to continue building the Sihai Center in Xizhou.

Given the current location of Sihai Center, there will definitely be no loss after the building is completed.

Even if the headquarters of Sihai Group needs to be relocated in the future, this building can be rented out to make money.

As for the lithography machine factory and memory production line, the delivery date is still early anyway, so he does not need to rush to make a decision.

He said before that he wanted to withdraw capital, just as capital for negotiation, and also to let some people realize the power of Sihai Group. Now that the purpose has been achieved, he will withdraw when he sees the opportunity.

Li Yunhai immediately promised Lin Zhenbang that he would continue the Sihai Center project after he returned.

Lin Zhenbang said: "That's right. No matter where you go to work, you will meet different managers. Personnel has gone up and down several times, but the company can last for a hundred years. As long as you learn how to deal with people, no matter who you are in the future Take charge and you will be invincible."

Li Yunhai was awe-inspiring.

After dinner, Lin Zhenbang went back to school.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi discussed going to the city for a walk.

In 1986, the streets of Beijin were bustling with activity, and many private cars, taxis and trucks were driving on the spacious road.

There are huge illuminated billboards standing on the streets. This type of advertisement uses huge color printing, with bright colors and clear photos. The product is printed on the advertisement, so that people can intuitively see the content of the advertisement.

This kind of advertising is extremely expensive to produce, and is generally only done by large foreign companies.

Li Yunhai saw the billboards on the roadside. Almost all of them were foreign brands, such as Siemens, Nissan, Canon and other major manufacturers. Occasionally there was an advertisement for a domestic pharmaceutical factory or an arts and crafts factory.

Most small shops still use handwriting on their signboards. Take a piece of wood and write a few large characters with paint.

There is a state-owned hairdressing shop on the roadside. Through the glass window, you can see two rows of female comrades sitting on chairs. Everyone wears many colorful curling bars on their hair and a large round hood on their heads. .

The scientific name of the cover is an electric heating cap, which is used to perm and style hair. Before that, barbershops used electric pliers.

Lin Zhi stood at the door, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Yunhai, do you think it would look good if I also had my hair curled?"

Li Yunhai said: "You are still young, there is no need to perm your hair. Didn't you see that there are women doing hair inside? The liquid used in perming is very harmful to the hair quality, and the hair that has been electrocuted is dull and dry to the touch. Like winter weeds.”

Lin Zhi stroked her shiny black hair and finally gave up the idea of ​​perming her hair.

The two came to the Luomashi Street Night Market, which was the first night market to open in Beijin. It has a total of 672 stalls, with an average of 22 customers per night, and sales of about 14 yuan per night.

Food and snacks, cold drinks, department stores, clothing, as well as vegetables, daily necessities, books and periodicals, furniture, electrical appliances and service repair stalls, everything is available.

Lin Zhi bought some gadgets for girls and brought some to her family.

The two of them wandered around until nine o'clock in the evening before returning to their hotel.

Lin Zhi was tired from walking today, so she yawned and said, "Shall we go take a shower and go to bed?"

Li Yunhai said yes.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Lin Zhi was stunned: "Who will come to us?"

Li Yunhai was also stunned, because they rarely come to Beijin and don't know many people here.

Except for Lin Zhenbang, no one knew they lived here.

The knocking on the door became louder and louder, and someone shouted at the door: "Open the door!"

Li Yunhai asked in a deep voice: "Who is it? What's the matter?"

People outside shouted: "Ward inspector! Open the door quickly!"

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi looked at each other, a little confused.

They stayed outside and had never encountered such a thing as ward rounds.

Are the aunts in Chaoyang District really different?Are you particularly vicious?
Li Yunhai stepped forward and opened the door.

There were several people standing outside the door, some of them wearing red armbands with the words Public Security Joint Defense Team on their sleeves.

When Li Yunhai goes on business trips, he usually goes to Huacheng, or Shanghai, or to Xiangjiang or abroad. He has gone out so many times and stayed in so many hotels, but he has never encountered such a thing as ward rounds.

This time they came to Beijin to visit Lin Zhenbang. For the convenience of meeting, they found a room in a hotel near the school. It was not a foreign hotel or a five-star hotel.

When checking in, the front desk only checked their ID cards and gave them a double room without asking anything else.

Now I actually encounter a ward round!

This made Li Yunhai unable to calm down!

A thin man looked at Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi with the eyes of thieves and asked, "What is your relationship?"
