That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 393 We are willing to contribute, but we also need wages
“Please take a look, this is our factory’s Changbei X-1 industrial sewing machine. It is an epoch-making product completely developed by us.

This product has a unique leading position in the country and has its own advantages compared with similar imported products.”

"Through the hard work of all our factory workers, our current production orders have already been placed until next year. The market response cannot be described as 'good'."

Director Wang led Li Zhongfa and others to visit the production workshop of Changbei Machinery Company, and expressed his pride and pride in facing the rows of industrial sewing machines that had just come off the production line.

The inspectors who followed Li Zhongfa were very interested in the production line of Changbei Machinery Factory. This was an assembly line designed and debugged by Hong Kong technicians together with Tang Mingtai and others. It was a relatively advanced production model in the early 1980s.

"It's very efficient. This visit was really worth it."

"Well, when our production line starts moving, it should look like this in an orderly manner."

"Yes, otherwise why would we visit each other?"

"It's just that our place is too small. This is the capital."

Li Ye's eyes swept over this "non-intelligent" production line. He felt that it was just like that, but he was somewhat interested in the finished product of the X-1 sewing machine.

"Yes, yes, Director Wang understands technology. Technology is like sailing against the current. We can only advance but not retreat!"

Li Zhongfa looked at this side of the wall and then at the other side, as if he understood something.

"Oh~"

For example, the position of the motor control pedal has been slightly adjusted to adapt to the common height of girls in this era.

Does this mean we need to focus on production, technology, and sales, and do all three have to be strong?
But you have to be tough, right?

Therefore, the current reputation of Changbei X-1 and the market response of shortage of supply are not only due to the hard work of workers, but also to the efforts of Li Dayong and others.

Also, the transmission belt of the sewing machine is not made of good material. It will easily slip and make a squeaking sound over time.
The quality of some bearings also does not meet the requirements, and they are almost only wearing parts that are replaced on a monthly basis.

If we think about Lenovo's recent advertisements placed by Director Wang on TV, it is not difficult to guess what he is thinking.

Li Zhongfa looked carefully at Changbei's technical transformation team, nodded in admiration, and then suddenly pointed at the wall and asked: "Director Wang, isn't that half of the workshop inconvenient to visit?"

After all, there are not so many long legs these days, and girls are basically between 155 and 160. Girls in the southwest are generally even less than 155, and they are mini and cute little potatoes.

You can't let such a cute girl straighten her short legs and use her toes to control the motor pedal, right?

But now it seems that Factory Director Wang is not satisfied with the core technology being in the hands of Hong Kong.

Director Wang said: "This is our technical improvement workshop. We are not satisfied with our current achievements. The technical improvement team in the factory has been constantly exploring new technologies."

Many workers feel that it’s not like they can’t sell anyway, so why go to all the trouble to find faults?
But Li Ye taught Li Dayong that this is a habit. If workers accidentally form the habit of "not caring" and "muddling along", it will take a lot of effort to change it.

If these minor problems fall into the eyes of other manufacturers, they are all normal. If they are not broken all day long, wouldn't it mean that the maintenance workers in the garment factory are sleeping all day long and have no use?

Factory Director Wang smiled, waved his hand and said, "That's Hong Kong's technical transformation workshop. I can't even enter it, so I hope everyone can understand."

Li Ye looked at the several workers who were meditating on the drawings, and at the sewing machine parts scattered on the ground, and finally understood that the matter at Changbei Machinery Company was much more serious than what Li Dayong described.

Director Wang led Li Zhongfa and others to visit the casting workshop, machining workshop, assembly workshop, etc. However, when they walked to the last large workshop, everyone found that there was a wall in the middle of the workshop, dividing the workshop into two parts. For two.

It was originally agreed that Hong Kong would be responsible for technical research, and the research team headed by Tang Mingtai has not stopped researching new products, and has achieved gratifying results.

This product has undergone many detailed improvements compared to the last time he came here.

But it didn't work here in Li Ye. After Li Dayong got first-hand market feedback through Tian Hongshan's sales channels, he immediately followed the "100% perfection" that Li Ye said and strictly focused on quality, solving each problem one by one. these little problems,

Everyone left the workshop and left along the row of low fences.

Then everyone saw two "unkempt" young workers walking over.

The other party obviously also saw Factory Director Wang and others, but he just looked at them, then lowered his head and passed by the crowd through the fence.

Factory Director Wang saw the two people approaching him with their heads lowered, and immediately shouted: "Wang Zhishun, Luo Dahu, what's going on with you two? What time did you come to work?"

Everyone was shocked by Factory Director Wang's scolding, and two young workers named Wang Zhishun and Luo Dahu were also stunned.

One of them lowered his head and said nothing, while the other raised his head and glared at Factory Director Wang. Director Wang pointed at the one with his head lowered: "Luo Dahu, tell me, what's going on?"

The young worker named Luo Dahu said nonstop: "Director Wang, we worked overtime until about eleven o'clock last night, and Engineer Tang told us that we can come to work later today."

"Work overtime until 11 o'clock? Then tell me what time the factory starts in the morning?"

Director Wang said reluctantly: "We go to work at eight o'clock. Can you calculate how many hours it is from eleven to eight o'clock? Standard sleep is eight hours. Isn't nine hours of sleep enough for you?"

"."

Luo Dahu didn't dare to reply, but the man named Wang Zhishun said irritably: "Eight hours of sleep is true, it must be an eight-hour work system.
We have been working for more than ten hours, do we still need eight hours of sleep? Besides, we are under the control of Engineer Tang. Why are you meddling in our own business? "

After saying these two sentences, the young worker named Wang Zhishun turned around and left, quickly entering the Hong Kong research workshop.

Factory Manager Wang at the back was naturally furious: "Who do you think is meddling in your own business? Who do you think can't control you? Come back here!!!"

"."

Naturally, Wang Zhishun would not come back. Even Luo Dahu quickly slipped away with his head lowered, making Factory Director Wang very embarrassed.

Li Zhongfa still had a look and said to Factory Director Wang with a smile: "That Wang Zhishun is Director Wang's nephew, right?"

Factory Director Wang sighed and said: "He is indeed my nephew, but look at what he looks like now? Otherwise, I say that we must be separated from Hong Kong! This kind of culture is unacceptable."

Li Zhongfa said: "We can't be too strict. Young people work overtime at night and they will definitely not be able to get up if they snooze during the day."

Unexpectedly, Factory Manager Wang said: "I don't think they came late, I just think they are being clever. It's almost noon. It's a day's work. How can I get a perfect attendance award at the end of the month? How is that appropriate?"

They either come on time or they don't come and work overtime at night to get overtime pay. They also get paid for being absent from work during the day. What kind of unhealthy trend is this?
If this evil trend blows over, then everyone will be thinking about how to make more money. Who will be willing to contribute? How can that be done? "

"Oh~~"

Li Zhongfa nodded suddenly and suddenly asked: "Then how much salary can they get every month?"

"."

"It's getting late, let's go to the cafeteria for a quick meal!"

Factory Director Wang did not answer, but invited Qingshui's inspectors to eat in the cafeteria.

Li Ye shook his head, quite speechless.

In fact, he just saw that it was understandable for Factory Director Wang to work overtime until 11 o'clock and come in later the next day, but the premise was that Wang Zhishun and Luo Xiaohu had to "dedicate", which meant working overtime was in vain.

But even if the workers retain their excellent dedication and tradition, they must not be given due rewards, right? Has the financial situation of Changbei Machinery Company not completely improved?

But when Li Ye arrived at the cafeteria, he realized that he had really thought too much.

The simple meal that Director Wang talks about is not a simple meal.

Rich, very rich, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and seafood available. This shows that the efficiency of Changbei Machinery Company is really good. Otherwise, a poor unit would not be able to meet this standard of hospitality. .

Li Zhongfa was dragged to the small room alone by Factory Manager Wang. Li Ye didn't know if his meal was the same as his own, but the wine he drank must be good.

Because of Li Ye's excellent hearing, he heard a few words: "At the beginning, there was really no money in the factory, and the workers were very motivated, but the bank would not continue to lend money."
If we had continued to provide loans at that time, why would we still need outside funds? Wouldn’t we have done the technical transformation ourselves? Can’t we build the production line ourselves? Now there are just a few people, but they share half of the profits.”

That's what most people can't say unless they're drunk.

"Ha~"

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.

Changbei Machinery Factory could no longer afford to repay bank interest at that time. It really had a group of empty workers and was unable to do anything.

But even if the bank continued to lend them money, would they be able to replicate the current prosperous situation?

[You think you have seized the opportunity in the face of adversity and successfully counterattacked. Don't you know that it was others who chose you and pushed you to counterattack to the top. It doesn't matter if they leave you, but if you leave them, you are just a mess. . 】
