Chapter 1102 Old Li and Little Li
I have to say it, Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Tool Factory is really big and awesome.
Fengcheng was known as the "Hometown of Chinese Machine Tools" at this time. How about that? Isn't it impressive enough?
However, in the machining industry, Fengyi Machinery’s reputation will only become more famous!
When it comes to industrial machine tools in China, who wouldn’t know Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Tool Factory?
Fengyi Machine is not only Fengyi Machine, but also "Zhong" Yi Machine.
The People's Daily praised it as "my country's first new type of machine tool manufacturing plant."
During the "First Five-Year Plan" period, it was listed as one of the 156 key national engineering projects and is a well-deserved industrial leader.
The first jeep research and development unit, a key enterprise, an industrialization base...
According to the person in charge of the First Machine Factory, their factory has been overwhelmed with awards.
When Li Huaide heard this, he was a little focused and surprised. This train was not pushed, and the bragging was not blown. They had a foundation.
"I'm not trying to show off to you all. Of course, I know the glory of the Red Star Factory."
The person in charge said with pride and politeness: "This is what tens of thousands of workers in our First Machinery Factory paid for with their blood and sweat."
This was the truth. Li Huaide did not care about his tone and attitude.
They were responsible for casting the first metal G emblem in New China. Even the 60 edition of the 2 yuan banknote had a picture of its product. This honor is well-deserved.
Looking at the scale of the factory, as well as the workers and machines in the production workshop, and listening to the person in charge introduce that 3500 lathes of various types are produced here annually, Li Xuewu nodded in admiration.
At least the Beijing Second Machinery Factory cannot reach this level and does not have this production capacity.
In 1935, this was a mining machinery repair factory under the jurisdiction of the Manchuria Machinery Corporation.
Four or five years ago, when the kid ran away, he took away all the technical data and files.
After taking over, Maozige did not continue to operate the business. Instead, he took away almost all of the main machinery and equipment, leaving only one in ten.
After changing hands several times, the factory, which was in a mess, was finally taken over by the transport team leader's men.
From 1946 to 1947, the factory was renamed "Fengcheng Fourth Machinery Factory of the Ministry of Economic Affairs" and "Fengcheng Machinery Factory of the Resources Committee Co., Ltd."
However, in that era, the people under the transport captain were corrupt and not only did they fail to carry out production, but they also sold off the factory equipment.
Until Fengcheng was liberated, the factory was still completely paralyzed.
With the founding of New China, the factory was officially renamed Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Tool Factory.
As the eldest son of the Communist Party's industry, Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Tool Factory invested hundreds of imported Soviet-made machine tools as industrial mother machines once it was put into use.
As expected, China's first independently designed six-foot belt lathe was successfully developed, heralding the official start of New China's machinery industry.
During the period from 111 to 3736, Fengcheng No. 650 Machine Tool Factory developed and produced the 630A full-gear lathe, the mm shaper, and the C conventional lathe.
It laid the foundation for the renovation and expansion during the "First Five-Year Plan" period and is also the most important link in the country's basic industrial system.
From 1953 to 1955, under the guidance of Maozi experts, Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Tool Factory completed its overall transformation based on the Moscow Red Proletarian Machine Tool Manufacturing Plant.
Because they belonged to the same social camp, "Big Brother" also provided assistance by providing the process documentation of the 1A61 lathe, which was the most precise at the time.
This made Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Tool Factory one of the most advanced machine tool factories in the society at that time.
In the following two years, the product types of Fengcheng No. 14 Machine Tool Factory increased to 3400, with an annual output of over units, and it successfully completed all the indicators in the "First Five-Year Plan".
五五年自主生产了第一台普通车床——C620-1型卧式车床，并仿制生产莫斯科红色无产者的1A62、1Д63A型车床。
In 1958, China's first precision screw lathe was trial-produced.
In 8305, we independently developed and produced the CT semi-automatic camshaft lathe, which is an essential machine tool for the automobile and tractor manufacturing industries.
In 1965, special machine tools were developed and produced for the Juqing Oilfield and Gangcheng Iron and Steel Plant.
In 6163, the CW6180, CW61100, and CW series of conventional lathes were developed and produced.
After listening to the introduction from the person in charge, Li Huaide was already envious of the prosperity of the First Machine Factory.
However, Li Xuewu discovered some different situations during his visit and investigation.
Of course, they were invited to visit and investigate, not to work in the Red Star Factory's affiliated enterprises, so they had to give them some face.
Li Huaide was chatting with the other party's person in charge, praising each other for business.
But Li Huaide is not responsible for the specific business, even if the other party's person in charge hopes that Hongxing Factory can leave an order here, or even cooperate on a project of interest.
However, Mr. Li is very clear about his level and ability and will not make this decision easily.
Business matters should be assigned to dedicated personnel. This time he led a team to Fengcheng, and the team was not entirely composed of secretaries from the commission's office.
People are involved in technology, sales, production, finance, trade and other departments.
Without corresponding suggestions from these experts or business teams, Li Huaide would not fall for it even if the other party praised their products to great lengths.
Of course, he also spoke a lot of flattering words, constantly praising the honor and glory of Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Factory.
However, this is only superficial.
Li Xuewu took his team to look at the introductory materials provided by the other party, as well as the comparison of various data, and then combined them with what they saw in the workshop.
He and his team came to the same conclusion: Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory was already empty.
It’s not that the workshop is empty, or the warehouse is empty, but that the overall strength is empty.
Li Xuewu did not conduct a more in-depth investigation and research on the reasons, but after examining the historical reasons, there are only a few points.
One is that Big Brother left too hastily in 1958 and the support plan was too short.
The other is the current large-scale learning activities. Although Fengcheng is not the capital, the learning trend of the capital has also spread to Fengcheng, which is quite significant.
Everyone working in the organization knows that if the decision or policy set from above is 1, then it becomes 11 when it reaches the province, and becomes 111 at the city, and becomes 1111111 at the county.
It cannot be arranged further because the arrangement is unclear. We don’t know what the original decision 1 has become. It could be 7 or even B.
The longer Li Xuewu is involved in project management, the more discerning he becomes. There are some things that he knows at a glance without having to say or ask.
Look at the mental state of the factory workers when they are working, the rigor of the technology and procedures, and even the working environment and hygiene management.
You may say that even if hygiene is good, the quality of the products produced may not be good.
Yes, this is absolutely correct.
However, if even the most basic hygiene cannot be managed, the quality of the product will definitely not be good.
What is a machine tool?
Machine tools are the most basic equipment for processing machinery. They have strict processing standards and processes, and extremely strict requirements on precision and quality.
It can be said that precision directly determines quality.
However, after looking at the lathe products, the production experts in the visiting and research team concluded that there were many defects and they were unqualified.
How big is the defect?
It may be as thin as a hair, but just this tiny defect will make the machine tool unqualified in terms of precision and unusable.
This is different from the furniture factories producing furniture. If there is a little more or less wood, you can use paint or a plane to repair it, but how do you repair steel parts?
Li Huaide had already understood what Li Xuewu meant from his eyes, which was also the final conclusion of the research team, so he spoke even more politely.
The person in charge of the First Machine Factory intended to coordinate with Deputy Director Yu Han to retain the guests and wanted to invite the guests from the Beijing Red Star Factory to dinner.
Yu Han asked Li Xuewu about his opinion through Hu Ke. After communicating with Li Huaide, Li Xuewu politely declined and sincerely expressed his gratitude and apologies to the other party.
The reason is that the research team of Red Star Factory will hold a meeting tonight, and several opinions that have just been finalized with Deputy Director Lu Qiming need to be further refined.
The reason for this polite refusal was certainly sufficient, but the person in charge of the First Machine Factory also saw through the Red Star Factory's intention, that is, they were not optimistic about the cooperation with the First Machine Factory, or perhaps they saw something.
When the group from the Red Star Factory were getting on the bus, the person in charge of the First Machine Factory secretly grabbed Hu Ke's arm and chatted with him quietly.
"Deputy Director Hu, can you help us talk about this opportunity again? It's really rare."
The person in charge said softly but anxiously, "Red Star Factory has invested tens of millions to build new factories in Gangcheng and Yingcheng. There are also new light industries in Beijing, which definitely need machine tools."
"Even if we can win the purchase order of industrial machinery from Steel City, we will be satisfied."
"Director Liu, I have invested a lot of money here. I have brought the people to you. What can I do if you can't keep them?"
Hu Ke was so anxious that he stamped his feet and said to the person in charge of the First Machine Factory: "This is a brand new steel rolling mill. They are also negotiating a large order with France. The machine tool purchase order is worth more than tens of millions. Your performance today is not good."
He tapped the person in charge's chest and said, "Don't try to fool people. I've already reminded you that the main target is not that Old Li but that Little Li! He is the business manager."
"Stop bragging about your achievements and be practical."
Hu Ke pointed to a group of people in white shirts getting on the bus and said, "There are at least seven experts and professors from Huaqing University there. Who are you trying to fool?"
The person in charge was also dumbfounded. Looking at the team getting on the bus and the person in charge of the Red Star Factory standing by the bus and greeting people, he felt sad.
The current situation of the First Machine Factory is full of acne. Not only does it have frequent product quality problems and a large number of talent is lost, but the factory is also unable to make ends meet and is almost on the verge of bankruptcy.
He didn't want to say the reason, and he couldn't say it, but tens of thousands of workers depended on the factory for their livelihood and their families. If the factory went bankrupt during his term, he would even want to jump into the river to apologize.
"I don't want to say anything to you."
Hu Ke was also a little angry and said, "You compare your previous honors with the present. Are people here to see you bragging or to see your products?"
"You should at least let others see that your factory is capable of cooperation in production and management. You are not good at anything, so why are you just bragging?"
"What should I do?"
The person in charge said calmly, "Can you talk to the leader again? Can you help us get it?"
"You also know the difficulties our factory is facing. We are powerless to turn the situation around on our own. We don't want to drag down the province, and we also want to be self-reliant and work hard, but..."
"I'll talk to your boss about this, but you have to seize the opportunity yourself."
Hu Ke sighed deeply. He didn't want to see the once most glorious factory go into decline.
"Tomorrow they are going to see the workers' new village, because the Red Star Factory wants to create a more complex and comprehensive integrated living environment in the capital."
"Deputy Director Lu will accompany us for the investigation in the morning. Please ask the leader to find an opportunity to intercede then."
Hu Ke reached out and grabbed his arm, saying, "But you have to take action tonight. Think about it yourself and decide how to cooperate."
"Hey - Deputy Director Hu."
When the person in charge saw Hu Ke was about to leave after explaining, he quickly stopped him and asked, "Can you give me some tips on how to negotiate this cooperation? We don't even have the slightest idea."
"I'll tell you one, and you can think about it yourself."
Hu Ke glanced at Li Xuewu who was getting on the bus, then turned back and said to the person in charge, "Red Star Factory is cooperating with the Second Machinery Factory of Beijing to engage in joint industry, producing and imitating imported machinery."
"Think about it yourself. He is not the God of Wealth. He does not give things away for free. Those tens of millions of dollars did not come from the wind. I don't have to give them to you."
After saying that, he didn't say anything more to the person in charge and trotted into Li Huaide's car.
Watching the convoy leave, Liu Zuodong, the head of the First Machine Factory, stood there feeling deeply emotional and extremely uncomfortable.
In its heyday, the First Machinery Factory did not need to be so humble; the provincial officials in charge of industry revolved around them.
But look at them now, they seem to have become stinking dog shit, and everyone avoids them.
This machinery factory hasn't even reached the point of bankruptcy yet, so how come it has become like this?
-
Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory was unable to keep the people from the Red Star Factory for dinner. Lu Qiming knew about this before the convoy returned to Liaodong Hotel.
As the largest and best machinery factory in Fengcheng, the jewel in the crown of industry, he, who is in charge of industrial work, naturally cannot give up.
So, when the convoy stopped in front of the hotel, Li Huaide and others got off the car and walked into the lobby while arranging their work for the evening, when they saw Lu Qiming waiting at the gate with his secretary.
"Deputy Director Lu? That's... too polite." Li Huaide smiled and shook hands with the other party, saying, "Deputy Director Yu's reception and arrangements are already very good. I am flattered by you."
“Hahahaha – as you should!”
Lu Qiming smiled and invited Li Huaide to go inside, explaining: "I'm off work, and I have nothing to do in the evening. I thought I didn't have enough drinks at noon."
He gently touched Li Huaide's arm and joked, "You have come from a long way, so I must accompany you well. Otherwise, how can I go to Guanli to have a drink with you, Director Li, next time I go there?"
"Hahaha--"
Li Huaide laughed and said, "This really makes me feel ashamed. When we go to the capital, I must entertain you!"
He already understood in his heart why Deputy Director Lu came to drink with him again in the evening. It was definitely not because he had just got off work and had nothing to do. Anyone who believed him would be a fool.
It seems that it is impossible for a cadre of Lu Qiming's level to go home on time after get off work at night. This is a joke.
On the one hand, he arranged for Red Star Factory to visit and investigate Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory, but it did not achieve the desired effect and did not satisfy Red Star Factory, so he felt apologetic.
On the other hand, the Red Star Factory was invited and had a large order in hand, and he couldn't just watch this piece of fat meat fly away from him so openly.
Therefore, without the First Machine Factory telling him, he knew what to do and how to make up for the problem.
Although I secretly cursed the First Machine Factory for not living up to its expectations and not doing its job well.
But in reality, this is his base, he wants to be the boss and make the final effort for the other party.
If he speaks, Li Huaide of the Red Star Factory will definitely give him some face, but whether this face is thick or thin depends on his actual actions.
The money is in the pocket of Red Star Factory. He can't just reach out and take it or rob it.
The sizes of machinery orders for a factory are different. Even if Li Huaide gave face, it would be useless to the First Machinery Factory, so the face would be in vain.
Besides, Li Huaide gave him face, so the Red Star Factory will have his support and help in Liaodong in the future.
When you are out, whether your face is valuable or not depends on your ability and level.
It can be seen that Lu Qiming put a lot of thought into this dinner for the Red Star Factory.
Northeastern cuisine itself is very large in portion, and coupled with the hospitality specifications and standards, it was specially prepared for the Red Star Factory, so this table of dishes is enough to show off.
According to Li Xuewu's mental preparation, this evening's dinner was supposed to be eaten at the First Machine Factory. The level of hospitality there would not be lower than here, but the standard would definitely not be up to the standard of being accompanied by Lu Qiming.
In response to another situation, the hotel will also prepare dinner, but it will definitely not be so sumptuous. The person accompanying should be Yu Han.
This kind of temporary increase in the bet is not uncommon, at least Li Huaide is mentally prepared.
So when facing Lu Qiming, he was very calm, relaxed and casual.
The two sides drank back and forth at the table. Without the stiffness and restraint of lunch, they even dared to clink glasses and toast more often after get off work.
Lu Qiming was of course prepared. In addition to Yu Han and Hu Ke, he also called Wang Lu, the head of Gangcheng Industry, who did not go home today to wait for the Red Star Factory, and Ge Ping, the head of Yingcheng Industry.
The Red Star Factory side was mainly composed of Li Huaide and Li Xuewu, who faced the opponent's shouting, fought positional battles, and launched defensive counterattacks.
Li Xuewu fought back alone, while Li Huaide led others to defend.
But seeing Li Xuewu raising his glass frequently and each glass being empty, he knew that the wine fairy had arrived.
The firepower of the opposite side was concentrated on Li Xuewu. Because he was young, promising, eloquent, and the person in charge of coordinating industry and business at the Red Star Factory, there was no problem drinking with him.
At the beginning of the meal, no one talked about work, nor did they mention the afternoon's research and visits. They just talked about local customs and culture.
In fact, there is no point in talking about anything. Li Xuewu's mouth and brain work faster because he drinks a lot.
Because of his position as the team leader, he drank the wine offered to him out of courtesy, but the person on the other side felt something was wrong as they drank.
Is this a wine barrel or a wine jar?
The dishes haven't all been served yet, and the 2-liang cups have been passed back and forth several times.
I'm afraid he has already drunk two kilograms of wine, but Li Xuewu's face is only slightly red and he doesn't seem drunk at all.
Damn! Today's game is really difficult!
Why? I met someone unreasonable!
This is how it is at the dinner table. Sometimes you are really helpless. You can clearly see him pouring the wine into his mouth, but he just drinks it without blushing or feeling nervous.
Several bottles of white wine on the table where food is served have been emptied, but the person opposite is still pouring wine.
Damn it, who's up?! Kill him!
It must be the last gasp of a dying force, absolutely!
There are people whose faces don't change color when drinking. No matter how much they drink, their face remains the same. The maximum amount they can drink is three kilograms. Once they drink that much, they will fall down.
So, knowing for sure that Li Xuewu was about to fall, these people began to attack in turns.
Li Xuewu always drinks till the bottom of his cup.
Some people were cunning and thought that Li Xuewu was being cunning and drank all the wine.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to toast, I took a closer look.
What's the result?
Wow, he really poured it into his mouth!
Lu Qiming, who was talking to Li Huaide, was also dumbfounded. We are the hosts.
"In fact, Deputy Director Li's volume is not much. Maybe he is in a good mood because he returned to his hometown."
Li Huaide is still making sarcastic remarks here. Doesn't he know what kind of person Li Xuewu is?
Among the units that cooperated with the Red Star Factory, there were many that had not been troubled by him and Li Xuewu, and how many responsible persons had vomited due to drinking.
Let me put it this way, as long as they wanted to, and as long as the people on the other side dared to drink, no factory manager would be able to walk out of the Red Star Factory's guesthouse standing.
That's true, just drink it, and don't say a word.
Northeastern people drink more vigorously than people in Beijing and the south. Money cups are rarely seen. The smallest cup on the table is two taels, which is called a courtesy cup.
The money cups are for old men and old ladies who sit at home on the kang and say they are reluctant to drink, and they try to weigh the taste of the wine with one or two coins.
At the wine table here, you can taste the wine first, and then you have to change your bowls while drinking.
Every meal, the palm-sized bowl of rice was filled to the brim, at least half a pound.
There's something even more outrageous, two big bowls, the kind used to hold dishes, filled to the brim, almost like a pound of wine.
Just drink it while holding it in your hand, without stopping to breathe, it feels like fire pouring down your throat, it feels so good.
If you don't fall down after drinking this bowl of wine, you will be famous at the wine tables in the surrounding villages, and no one will dare to drink with you.
But such a scene is not suitable for the drinking table of Li Huaide and others. After all, they are still organizational relations, and they cannot drink like this even when making friends.
So, with the two-liang cup, Li Xuewu really beat the opponent so hard that he was speechless and stunned.
Wang Lu, the person in charge of Gangcheng Industry, is a lesbian, but she is also an old hand at the alcohol test and is not much inferior to the average lesbian in drinking.
But after a few drinks with Li Xuewu, she wisely backed off, knowing that Deputy Director Lu had run into trouble today.
Seeing that Li Xuewu was beating up his group and at the same time attacking him, Lu Qiming was a little panicked. Is he going to kill me?
He also took advantage of Li Huaide's words to ask about the reason for returning to his hometown. He had never heard that Li Xuewu was from Northeast China.
But he felt one thing, Li Xuewu spoke with a Northeastern accent, but not completely.
People from Northeast China are very sensitive to accents from other places, especially those who came from the Northeast and traveled around the South.
It doesn't take a long time, just half a year, and you can definitely hear the change in accent.
But at that time, cross-regional appointments were rare, especially for someone as young as Li Xuewu.
After hearing Li Xuewu's introduction that the old lady in the family was from Northeast China, Lu Qiming used the old lady's experiences during that period to talk about the past events in Northeast China, and also extended the topic to industry.
-
"It is indeed difficult, but the difficulty is not in the technique. If it were the technique, I wouldn't regret it."
After dinner, Lu Qiming invited Li Huaide and Li Xuewu to the reception room for tea.
He grinned and said with great regret: "The First Machine Factory has technology. The machine tools it designed for several large companies have received praise and good reviews. This is a visible achievement."
"However, we must admit that although technology has developed over the years, management has reached a dead end, especially the ability to resist risks."
There were not many people in the reception room. From the Red Star Factory, there were Li Huaide and Li Xuewu, as well as their secretaries Li Haiyang and Peng Xiaoli.
On the Liaodong side are Lu Qiming, Yu Han, Hu Ke, and Wang Lu, the head of Gangcheng Industry.
There was a secretary doing the service work and no one else was present, so he spoke freely.
“This is what I am most dissatisfied with about the First Machinery Plant.”
Lu Qiming frowned and pointed outside the door, saying seriously: "They only care about the head and not the butt. In the end, the product quality has seriously declined, and the technical personnel have been lost. It's a mess."
Just as they were having dinner, Liu Zuodong, the head of the First Machine Factory, caught up with them.
His original intention was to communicate with the Red Star Factory privately to try to get some opportunities.
Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Lu Qiming was right here. Now that he was here, he didn't dare to leave. He just hoped to meet with the Red Star Factory.
On the way to the reception room just now, Lu Qiming ignored him, and when he was at the door, he didn't even ask him to come in for the meeting.
So, Liu Zuodong was standing in the corridor as punishment right now, and Lu Qiming's words were meant for him to hear, just to embarrass him.
"Why did you invite the Red Star Factory to Liaodong? Why did I arrange for you to visit and investigate the Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory?"
Lu Qiming didn't drink too much, but his face was very red. He still spoke clearly and logically, but his tone was more emotional.
"I feel bad for the industrial foundation of Northeast China. I can't bear to see the meritorious factory rot under my nose. I feel bad."
He said earnestly, "I have learned about the Red Star Factory in detail. Comrade Hu Ke told me that there is a Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in Beijing, and it has already started preparations for upgrading. It is said that it will develop greatly and advance in the ministry."
"What's the big deal? Let's not talk about the Northeast, let's talk about Liaodong. Every year there are several companies that have been promoted, and every year there are several backbone enterprises."
"But Comrade Hu Ke told me that the industrial indicators of the steel mills increased several times before and after the big learning campaign."
"He also told me that the opening of the Red Star Factory's foreign trade outlet had caused a quarrel between the First Ministry of Machine Building and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and he also said that the total investment would be 80 million within five years. My goodness, I was stunned all of a sudden."
"Eighty million. Not to mention Fengcheng, even in Liaodong and Northeast China, no company dares to say that it will invest eighty million in five years to start a business."
Lu Qiming said with emotion: "I have worked in the No. 17 Factory before, and I know the core goals and key points of corporate investment very well. As soon as the 80 million figure came out, I knew I was being tricked."
"Hehehe——"
Everyone was amused by his words. Hu Ke interrupted and explained, "Director Lu was also at the scene at the time. He also didn't believe it and kept asking."
"Who can believe this——!"
Lu Qiming himself also smiled, patted the armrest of the sofa and said, "I almost scolded Hu Ke for lying about military intelligence, but later he brought me the investigation materials and newspapers to read."
"The hardware industry feeds back to the metallurgical industry, the metallurgical industry drives the automobile industry, the automobile industry connects to the shipbuilding industry... After this series of industrial development, I know about the Red Star Factory."
"Haha, you're too kind. Actually, we are also crossing the river by feeling the stones."
Li Huaide could hardly suppress his smile. He didn't care if others praised him, as he was the deputy director of Liaodong in charge of industry.
"When we were working on the three-year and five-year plans, we were also terrified. We were afraid that we would not be able to meet the targets and that we would be exaggerating."
"Ah—I don't think so."
Lu Qiming waved his hand and said, "An expert will know whether it is good or not once he makes a move."
He said: "I don't look at anything else, and I can't see it all. I only look at the transformation and development of your factory, and it immediately inspires me!"
"It has only been a year and a half since the beginning of 66. This kind of change cannot be achieved by feeling one's way forward."
Lu Qiming pointed at Yu Han, Wang Lu and others who were sitting next to him and said, "I'll give them a year and a half. Ask them if they dare to say they want to become a group."
"I don't dare, so I'm here to learn from others," said Wang Lu, head of Steel City Industry, with a smile. "I've talked to Director Dong of Red Star Steel City Steel Plant, and I'm also a witness to how Red Star Plant laid out Steel City and built a mixed industry of light and heavy industries."
"Look, Comrade Wang Lu also said that she can see it more clearly than I can. She is right below."
Lu Qiming nodded at her with a smile, and said to Li Huaide and Li Xuewu: "I criticized her the other day. She doesn't know how to behave like a human being."
"A Red Star Factory has successively invested in the hardware industry, the electronics industry, the automobile industry, the joint industry, etc. in the Steel City, and even innovated the metallurgical industry. Such important investments are invisible. How can they work?"
He said in a half-joking, half-serious tone: "If it were me, I would have bought a train ticket to Beijing a long time ago. I would definitely visit the Red Star Factory to thank them for their trust and support, and thank them for settling the company in Steel City."
"Yes, this is my mistake in my work. I don't have enough understanding of the industry and service. I will seriously reflect on it. Next, I will communicate more with Director Li and Deputy Director Li and get closer to them."
Wang Lu also took this opportunity to apologize to Lu Qiming in a half-joking and relaxed tone, and also apologized to the Red Star Factory.
Li Huaide smiled and waved his hand, saying, "There's really no need to be so polite. Our factory doesn't consider these relationships when investing in and building a business."
His words responded to Lu Qiming and Wang Lu's polite attitude, and then he said: "Gangcheng's industrial investment environment is good. I can see it without you, Deputy Director Wang, coming to me."
"Our factory has a big layout in the steel city. We want to build a complete integrated industrial system, not to engage in isolated industrial integration."
Li Huaide explained: "We were attracted by the heavy industrial base of Gangcheng and Liaodong, so we want to develop integrated industries and integrate and build supporting industries."
"That is the supply chain system that our Deputy Director Li mentioned during the meeting this morning."
He looked at Lu Qiming and asked, "Deputy Director Lu, let me tell you some data and you will understand why we need to develop a supply chain system."
"The 212-type jeep currently being produced by Beijing First Automobile Works is produced and assembled independently with all types of parts. How much does it cost?"
This question stumped Lu Qiming, as he had never paid attention to this matter.
But Yu Han knew clearly, so he took the initiative to answer softly: "In Liaodong, the purchase price of a 212 jeep is yuan."
"31,000, do you think this price is expensive or cheap?"
After Li Huaide asked, he did not wait for his answer and continued to introduce: "Red Star Factory also made a jeep, the Red Star Antelope Jeep."
"It's not inferior to the 212 Jeep in terms of performance, but the production model is completely different. Except for the core parts and advantageous parts, which we produce ourselves or in conjunction with other industries, everything else is provided by the supply chain system."
He looked at Lu Qiming and asked, "Do you know how much our Red Star Antelope sells for?"
"The Red Star Antelope City Basic Edition is priced at 7980 yuan, and the full high-end version is priced at 9980 yuan."
"The lowest price of the Red Star series is the engineering price, which is only 7180 yuan."
The price Li Huaide said shocked Lu Qiming and others. They thought he had drunk too much and heard it wrong.
“Similar performance, but three times the price”
He said very seriously: "This is the supply chain system we are working on."
"Except for the core components, are all other parts outsourced for production and procurement?"
Lu Qiming frowned and asked, "But in addition to dealing with policy risks, how can we guarantee process risks? You can't be sure that all parts are produced to standard, right?"
“Yes, this is also an advantage of the supply chain because we don’t purchase from the unit.”
Li Huaide introduced: "For one screw, we have to send it to at least a dozen factories for commission. Whoever can guarantee that their craftsmanship is qualified and pass the assessment can provide this screw to the supply chain."
"We don't just want this one. We may want three, five, or all of them out of a dozen commissions, but we will distinguish them with marks and follow up on their evaluations."
"If the workpiece is not up to standard, we will deduct the balance to offset this part of the loss, and also remind supply chain companies to be cautious about product quality issues."
Li Huaide spread his hands and said, "Compared with the price advantage, when we compare other risks, we believe that as long as we have a reasonable system, we can control this risk."
"Well, it's worth thinking about the supply chain system." Lu Qiming frowned and made a note in his notebook, then nodded and said, "It seems that there is a reason for the success of the Red Star Factory."
"You're welcome. It's all for organizational work. We've also been through ups and downs."
Li Huaide said modestly: "The problems and difficulties that the First Machinery Factory is facing are actually what we have encountered before, and we can empathize with them."
"At the beginning, accidents occurred frequently and workers were not very motivated to produce. It was Deputy Director Li who supervised production safety, which led to today's achievements."
When Li Xuewu spoke, he praised Li Huaide. Now when Li Huaide talks about a problem, he often mentions Li Xuewu.
The tacit understanding and cooperation between the two is also the reason why Liaodong industrial personnel respect and admire them.
Lu Qiming nodded in understanding, and understood what Li Huaide meant, but he still fought for the First Machinery Factory: "I heard that you also have a joint industrial project."
He gestured outside the door and said, "The First Machine Factory still has the technology and foundation. I wonder if there is any possibility of cooperation in this regard?"
"Deputy Director Lu, we understand your good intentions," Li Xuewu took over the conversation and said sincerely, "To be frank, I am attracted by the production environment and foundation of the First Machinery Plant."
"However, after comprehensive consideration, we all feel that it is not appropriate. Let me explain to you."
Li Xuewu looked at Lu Qiming and said, "You also mentioned that the First Machinery Factory has the technology, but lacks funds, management, and ideas. However, our factory has introduced advanced technology from abroad and is cooperating with Beijing Second Machinery Factory."
"In terms of technology, we are not short of core key production equipment. In terms of joint industry, our factory is the technology exporter. We provide technology and key equipment, and we also need mature capital and management to cooperate."
He paused here, spread his hands and said, "I feel sorry for the technology of the First Machine Factory, especially the production capacity of all categories of machine tools."
"However, the First Machinery Factory, which is known for its technology and hopes to cooperate with us on the basis of technology, does not have the same advantages as us."
"oh, I understand now."
Lu Qiming understood what he meant and nodded, "I misunderstood."
"I'm sorry, Deputy Director Lu."
Of course Li Xuewu couldn't let Li Huaide say no, that would be too inappropriate.
So he had to be the bad guy: "If there is a chance, we will definitely choose the First Machine Factory as our first choice for cooperation..."
dong dong——
Before Li Xuewu could finish his words, there was a knock on the door and it was pushed open.
Liu Zuodong, the head of the First Machine Factory, walked in. He first nodded apologetically to Lu Qiming, then looked resolutely at Li Huaide and Li Xuewu of the Red Star Factory and said, "I know that the Red Star Factory is disappointed in us, but please give us a chance."
Without waiting for the frowning Lu Qiming to speak, he quickly said: "The First Machinery Factory is willing to provide its core processes and technologies to cooperate with the Red Star Factory to form a new joint industry. We can give up the management rights and provide the best workers and equipment."
He said seriously: "We just want orders. Professional orders can be given to United Industries, and general orders can be given to the First Machine Factory."
Seeing that "Xiao Li", who was in charge of specific business at the Red Star Factory, frowned slightly, Liu Zuodong knew that his words had attracted the other party.
He continued: "The shareholding structure can be completely negotiated. We will not make excessive demands. We just hope to have a chance for transformation, just like the Red Star Factory."
“We can provide a full range of mechanical equipment solutions for all the factories under construction at Red Star, and inspect each machine one by one.”
Liu Zuodong said sincerely: "We are willing to send cadres to the Red Star Factory for exchange and learning, and we also ask the Red Star Factory to send cadres to guide us in completing the transformation of the industrial management system."
"How is it? Director Li, Deputy Director Li."
Seeing Liu Zuodong finished speaking, Lu Qiming did not blame him for his recklessness. Instead, he looked at the Red Star Factory and said, "I can guarantee the First Machine Factory and the United Industry, including shares and management. Everything will be decided by the Red Star Factory. As long as we help the First Machine Factory transform, that's all."
