Chapter 17 The fitter who blows the cowhide
It was not until 12:30 noon that I finally saw Yin Fumao walking into the hotel, followed by four people. Chen Lichun hurriedly greeted him.
"Hello, Brother Yin, hello, leaders, I've caused trouble for you." Chen Lichun didn't know how to be polite, so he practiced for an hour before saying such a polite word.
Yin Demao quickly introduced, "This is my friend Chen Lichun. Lichun, this is Su Jiaxing, my colleague at the steel plant, who is on secondment at the design institute. These three are his leaders and colleagues at the design institute."
"Nice to meet you." Chen Lichun said politely, but when shaking hands, he felt that these four people were very familiar with him. He could vaguely hear the young man muttering, "They are from the blue market again."
Chen Lichun pretended not to hear and asked, "Dear leaders, it's getting late. Let's chat while eating?"
"Okay", the man in his 50s in the middle said two words.
Entering the room, Chen Lichun did not take the main seat. After a few words of humility, everyone let the older man take the main seat. Chen Lichun sat on his left hand, and next to him was Yin Demao.
After the location was decided, Chen Lichun handed over his business card, and the young man muttered, "It is indeed a small factory in the county."
The voice was loud enough for everyone to hear, but Chen Lichun couldn't continue, something was wrong.
Yin Demao's colleague Su Jiaxing quickly jumped in and said, "Mr. Chen, let me introduce you in detail. This is Ma Jianguo, Director Ma from the Metallurgical Engineering Technology Office of Beigang Design Institute. This is Liu Peng, Engineer Liu from the department. This is Ma Jianguo.
Director’s Assistant, Zhang Bing, Assistant Zhang”.
Ma Jianguo has gray hair and heavy wrinkles. People say that doing design and research is done in an office, but this Director Ma has a smoldering look on his face.
Liu Peng is a short, fat man who seems to be more talkative with a smile. He is constantly looking at the ink paintings on the wall of the private room.
Zhang Bing is a young man who seems to be not much older than Chen Lichun. He wears glasses and looks like a student, but he does not have the poise of a scholar.
No one else spoke, Zhang Bing spoke first, "Mr. Chen, how big is your factory? Is it a rented workshop?"
When the other party was so abrupt, Chen Lichun felt that the next step would not be smooth, so he replied, "It's not a rented workshop. Our factory covers an area of more than 200 acres. It has a steelmaking plant and a wire rod factory, with an annual output of 600,000 tons of rebar."
I plan to allocate 20 acres of land to build a machine processing workshop to produce rolls and rollers. I will also make bearings and gears in the future." Come on, there is no tax anyway. With more than 200 acres, Li Lixin's Jinxin Steel Rolling Mill can be regarded as his own home.
Yes.
"That's not a small thing." Liu Peng and Liu Gong seemed to be from Chen Lichun's side, so they answered.
"The equipment is all second-hand. I have been to Fenglan County in your blue city and worked in several steel-making and rolling mills in the past few years. The equipment is all eliminated by large steel mills like our Beigang." Zhang Bing.
Then ask.
Chen Lichun wondered, I have never offended this buddy, is this a fight? We are not afraid! "Haha, we started from scratch, and now the annual output value has exceeded 200 million, with a profit of 30 million. This time we are engaged in machining, and we are preparing to go international.
First-class equipment, don't make it obsolete." Chen Lichun was a little angry. I'm afraid I can't afford experts like you, but the more you look down on others, the more I'll brag to you.
Zhang Bing: "Bragging, we will design it for you. You have to buy the equipment according to the drawings. Don't be out of money when the time comes."
"As long as I can buy it, I guarantee I can afford it." The two got into a fight.
At this time, the waiter began to serve the food. This hotel was recommended by Yin Demao, and the hotel specializes in Huaiyang cuisine.
When Chen Lichun ordered a meal and looked at the menu, he basically ordered whichever one the waiter recommended. He had basically never eaten these dishes.
What about big boiled dried shredded noodles, Huai'an tea, soft bagged long fish, casserole wild duck, crab meat and lion's head...
The total price of more than a dozen dishes is more than 1,000. I drank Wuliangye and there were several bottles on the wine cabinet. Isn’t this a bit dignified? You guys look down on me, and I won’t look down on you either. As soon as the dishes came, Chen Lichun gave in and didn’t
If you talk too much, just keep your head down and start eating. Looking at the pretense of these immortals, this table of food is like feeding a dog.
After eating for a while, Liu Gong said, "Director Ma, you have been exhausted during this period. You have been staring at Jiansan Line (Beigang Third Wire Rod Factory) for many days in the workshop. It is rare that you can come out today and relax.
Take a couple more sips."
"Yes, we are all very tired. Come! We thank Mr. Chen for the warm hospitality." Ma Jianguo picked up the cup and broke the deadlock.
After taking a sip, Director Ma continued, "The last time I came to this hotel to eat Huaiyang cuisine was after the mobilization meeting at the beginning of the year. Chief Engineer Yang brought us here. It's been more than half a year. This lion's head tastes really good."
There was a smile on Director Ma's frosty face. He continued, "Xiao Chen, I just heard Xiao Yin give you an overview of your situation. You can go into details."
Oh? Is there something going on? "Director Ma, what do you want to hear?"
"You can say whatever you want, and I will listen to whatever you want, but the more detailed the better, I will help you check it, and I won't let you eat in vain." Ma Jianguo said.
"Mr. Chen, Director Ma is a master of metallurgy, mechanical and electrical research and development, and design. If you can invite him to come out, you will have met a god," Liu Gong reminded.
"Okay, let me tell you about our situation. In fact, I am also from Bei Steel. I passed the mining technical school in 1987 and am now working in mining machinery... Our family is in Binhai County, Lan City..."
Chen Lichun no longer pretended to be pretentious and did not hide anything. He told the truth about his family in detail. He was not afraid of revealing the truth. Even if his family made a small fortune, it was probably his younger brother's whims to engage in machining.
No matter how loud you brag, you can't escape the eyes of experts. Are you being laughed at? I guess these people don't even know their names in the blink of an eye.
"Haha, Xiao Chen, you didn't tell the truth at first." After listening to Chen Lichun's words, Director Ma did not put down his face, and even showed a smile that looked like he could see through the kid's mischief.
Chen Lichun felt a little embarrassed, "I also work as a fitter. I was sent here from my family and I was really scared to hire experts from our Beigang. However, when I started to hear Assistant Zhang look down on others, I got a little carried away.
I'm sorry, everyone." After saying that, he drank half a glass of wine.
At the explanation point, Zhang Bing also took up the conversation, "Mr. Chen, they say that cannibals are short-tongued. It's my first time to come to this hotel, and it's my first time to drink Wuliangye. The food is not cheap. You are so funny. Since you told the truth,
Let me tell you the truth. In the past few years, many private company owners in your blue city have approached us, asking us to do feasibility studies, design, budgets, and specially prepare high-end project plans. Three words: Don’t be afraid of big problems.
.Then what? We took the design plan we drafted and reported it to the superior to lie about policies and loans. When people saw it, it was stamped with the big seal of our Beigang Design Institute. Everyone took a high look at it and the support was strong. Then what?
?We didn’t follow our design at all. We bought some second-hand equipment, opened some small workshops, defrauded the bank, and our superiors didn’t look good. We were not human inside and out, and our reputation was ruined by your blue market. I see you
, I thought I was here to cheat like them."
Only then did Chen Lichun understand why Assistant Zhang didn't have a good face when they met. Now that he had said it, he couldn't be misunderstood. He had to draw a line and said quickly: "Oh, buddy, I also misunderstood. It turns out that
This is the situation, those people are really too insidious. However, my family is different. I am learning to be a fitter, and I can’t explain too many nonsense. However, when I was at home, I discussed with my brother, please
Leaders and experts are just designing production lines, finalizing equipment, preparing processes, and standardizing processes. You can rest assured that we come out with designs without even stamping them. We really want to do practical things, and we have no intention of cheating on policies or loans.
Otherwise, just come to our place and have a look. It is estimated that the workshops will be built by now."
"Have you started building the workshop? You started construction without doing process design?" Liu Gong asked.
"My brother said that we should design while constructing. If the leaders and experts can help, the equipment will be installed after the process plan is finalized."
At this time, Director Ma's face dropped, "Isn't this nonsense? You are from Beigang and don't know how to put design first?"
"Oh... I didn't learn much in the technical school." Chen Lichun felt a little bit scolded by the head teacher and was a little unconvinced, so he quoted the words of Lao Yin and Yin Lishan, "But we at Bei Steel also did this before.
Come on, my master’s father, Yin Fumao’s eldest brother’s father, also said that at that time, when he was engaged in the construction of iron smelting plants, he would just build the site as soon as the site was leveled, and then build whatever was needed.”
"Nonsense, what era was that? At that time, the bear experts had just withdrawn, and few of us knew how to design. The situation at that time was that the project had been launched and could no longer be stopped. There were design drawings for the blast furnace and key facilities.
Some supporting and auxiliary facilities are being constructed and designed at the same time. In fact, there are many hidden dangers, and we have suffered a lot. Such reckless things cannot happen again."
BeiGang built the first blast furnace in the steelmaking plant in the early 1960s. Ma Jianguo had just graduated from the Mechanical Department of Yanjing Iron and Steel Institute and was assigned to the front line of the project. Not long after, the Mao Xiong experts withdrew.
Halfway through the construction of the blast furnace, the losses would be huge if it stopped, so we had no choice but to bite the bullet and be self-reliant. Following a group of domestic old experts and old technologies, Ma Jianguo watched the site during the day, checked information and worked on the design at night, and solved any problems he encountered.
Question, that battle was the first lesson in his work.
The blast furnace was built and reached its production capacity. It was publicized with a round of applause. But in reality, there were many problems. It took a long time to adjust and improve, and a lot of tuition was paid. People who came later did not know the hardships of their predecessors, so some people used these problems to make excuses.
They even complained about the designers at the time. Some people even said that those who came up with such a design should be taken out and shot.
People like Director Ma can't tell the story of their suffering, so they hate the reckless practice of designing and constructing at the same time.
"Let's see, Zhang Bing, go to the blue market with Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen belongs to Beigang and is a member of our family. When something went wrong with his project, it ended up embarrassing us. I think you two are destined to be together.
Go and have a look at the site, and help based on the actual situation. If you have any questions, come back to me." Director Ma attaches great importance to the image and reputation of the design institute, and also wants to reverse the negative impact in the blue market through Chen Lichun's project.
"That's great, Director Ma. You are my lucky star. I look forward to seeing you all. I'll do it first as a token of respect." He said and drank another glass.
The next day, it was bright and clear, and Chen Lichun opened his eyes from the hotel room.
Hey, this drinking capacity still needs to be practiced. I remember that when I was happy later, I got drunk. He first toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and then others toasted him with a glass of wine. After all, he drank two kilograms? Height Maotai
, it’s not bad, this is night time or... Damn, I slept all night and half a day.
Chen Lichun couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up quickly, took a taxi and knocked on Yin Fumao's door early in the morning. Yin Fumao had just woken up at this time.
Chen Lichun apologized first, "Brother, I'm sorry. I'm a bad drinker, so I broke up and made a mistake."
Yin Fumao also complained about him, "Don't show off if you don't have the capacity to drink. Once you fall down, we won't be able to drink. I wanted to keep everyone here to drink some more, but I couldn't. They said they would leave if they had anything to do in the afternoon. Yes."
That Zhang Bing and I carried you to your room."
"By the way, Zhang Bing said he would come to your room today to find you. He also said, 'It's obvious that such a big boss is living in a common room, so he's just pretending.' Okay, I have to go to work today. You go back quickly. Assistant Zhang will be there soon."
Don’t lose sight of you”.
Chen Lichun was so frightened that he hurried back to the hotel. During the cold dew season, the morning in Yanjing was already very cold, but Chen Lichun felt hot in his chest. Although he was bragging and pretending yesterday and was seen through by others at a glance, the results were good in the end. The development of the enterprise, brother
Chapter completed!
