The Beacon of Laiyang Metal

Chapter 1 "Laiyang Metal" Weigezhuang Branch Factory
  Laiyang's name comes from "the sun rises from Donglai". In ancient times, it was called "Changyang", "Changguang", and also has the titles of "Pear City" and "Dragon City". The specialty Laiyang pear is known as "China's "Pear Township"

In recent years, it is not the specialty Laiyang pear that has become famous on the Internet, but its seamless steel pipe that cannot be reached with eight poles.
  In 2014, Palestine and Israel engaged in a rocket war, and Israel confiscated a large number of Hamas rocket debris. Most of these rockets are made of tap water pipes - seamless steel pipes.

Welding four stabilizing fins on the tail and filling them with gunpowder and gyro stabilizers, it becomes a standard Hamas rocket.

The "Shandong Laiyang Steel Plant" GB-3091-93 written on the remains of the rocket pipe quickly spread on the Internet, making Laiyang famous, so much so that some people jokingly called it on the Internet: Rheinmetall is rich, and "Laiyang Steel Pipe" is poor.

As a member of many "steel pipe industrialization clusters", Weiyuan has become one of many small capitalists by relying on the small workshop-style factory passed down by his father.

Speaking of which, Wei Yuan’s father, Wei Jianguo, is a well-known technology master in the local area. Before the reform and opening up, the way for large state-owned factories in China to recruit personnel was often to inherit the father’s business from son to son.
  That is to say, my retired son took over. After graduating from high school at the age of 18, Wei Jianguo entered a local state-owned machinery factory in Laiyang through this method.

Wei Jianguo, who had a talent for machinery since he was a child, and his willingness to work hard and study, was able to graduate in just one year. After that, he worked in a state-owned machinery factory for more than 20 years.

During this period, countless awards and certificates were obtained. In the early 1990s, the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew across the land of China. Private enterprises sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. However, the traditional old state-owned enterprises gradually became difficult due to the rigidity of production management. Even some companies cannot pay wages.

Unlike others who had a wait-and-see mentality, Wei Jianguo realized that reform and opening up was the general trend, and he had to find a way to make a living by himself when no other options were available, so he bought out his more than 20 years of service at one time and became the first person in a machinery factory. Crab eaters.

In addition, the policy at that time encouraged workers to choose their own jobs and gave certain cash rewards to workers who chose to choose their own jobs. In this way, Wei Jianguo received his first start-up capital and opened a small business called "Weimin Machinery Repair Station". workshop.

Relying on the real skills accumulated over decades in the state-owned machinery factory, everything from walking tractors to shovels, hoes, and coal stoves was not something that Wei Jianguo could not repair. In addition, Lao Weitou pursued a kind-hearted style of dealing with people. In just a few months, It can be said that everyone in the local area knows about the "Repair Station Serving the People". Coupled with the rapid economic development at that time, Wei Jianguo expanded a small workshop into a rural enterprise covering an area of ​​more than ten acres and employing more than 3 people in just three years.

Considering the long-term development, the ambitious Lao Wei Tou Leng affiliated his workshop-style enterprise to the state-owned machinery factory through his relationship with the state-owned machinery factory. Since then, the "Service Station for the People" has become the "Laiyang Machinery Processing Plant" Wei's branch factory"

As the saying goes, it is easy to enjoy the shade with a big tree at your back. Relying on the relationship with a large state-owned factory, Lao Weitou's machinery factory began to involve some marginal mechanical deep processing, and began to engage in parts OEM. In just a few years, it made a lot of money. The bowl is full.

It is a pity that since the 21st century, the tertiary industry has developed rapidly, but the traditional mechanical processing industry has been declining year by year. Although the "Laiyang Machinery Weishi Branch" relied on large manufacturers to get some orders.

But as the old saying goes, if there is no water in the big river, how can the small river be filled with water? It was just relying on these orders to barely keep the machinery running. In the good years, there were hundreds of workers alone. It could be said that in front of the factory, there was a lot of people and traffic, and trucks pulling goods could be lined up from the beginning of the town. At the end of the town, there are now only a few old masters left in the factory struggling to survive.

The old guard was hit hard, and coupled with his old age and lack of energy, he also had the idea of ​​​​retreating to the second line. The management of the factory was also handed over to his only son, Wei Yuan, who had just graduated from college. It is said that Wei Yuan took over the factory. Holding the idea that the son should inherit the ambition of the father, become bigger and stronger and reproduce the glory of the past.

But reality gave Wei Yuan a hard blow. On weekdays, this guy is either busy collecting orders or on the way to find orders. It can be said that he sleeps later than a dog and wakes up earlier than a chicken. After all, he opens his eyes and opens his mouth several times to wait. he.

They say it’s comfortable to be the boss! This sentence does not apply to Wei Yuan. If anyone said this to Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan would be so angry that he would not even recognize his mother.

What? Are you comfortable being the boss? Come, come, come...you go, you go, the workers in this broken factory won't be able to work for a day!
