Chapter 118 Cost is not important

Deputy Director Fang wrote another report and placed it in front of Director Lu.

Director Lu couldn't help but frowned when he looked at the report.

"Now that military product production needs to be reduced in scale, there is no problem in transferring two trucks to the radio factory, but is it necessary to add a car?" Factory Director Lu asked.

"That old Shanghai car is old and can no longer be driven. The cost of repairing the car every year is a huge expense, so I applied for a new car." Deputy Factory Director Fang explained.

"It's not impossible to get a new car, but you want to get a Santana. I heard that this kind of car costs more than 200,000 yuan, and it's hard to buy. The factory is running out of money now, can you get a cheaper one?" Lu

the factory director asked.

"Director Lu, I think our cadres should keep up with the development of the times. Buying a Santana is very beneficial to promoting our products and improving the image of our chemical factory! Let people who buy our radios know that we are a powerful state-owned factory.

It’s not the old little broken factory!” said Deputy Director Fang.

Factory Director Lu thought for a moment and said, "Let's discuss this matter at the office meeting."

He didn't want to directly object and offend Deputy Director Fang, so he wanted to push it to an office meeting to let others express their opinions and finally reject Deputy Director Fang's report on purchasing a Santana sedan for the radio factory.

For this radio factory, fifty sets of desks and chairs, two safes, plus various other odds and ends have been purchased, and a specially set aside workshop is being renovated into a factory building suitable for the use of a radio factory.

The chemical factory has spent more than half a million yuan on this, and Director Lu doesn't want to spend money on office supplies, especially a Santana.

However, at the office meeting the next day, most of the leaders agreed to purchase a new Santana for the radio factory. Factory Director Lu slowly understood what these people were thinking. Now he has purchased a car for Deputy Factory Director Fang.

They can also add more. I agree with you today. Will you object when you buy it for me in the future?

This is another cost of more than 250,000!

Adding these expenses together, the 300,000 transfer fee given to Wang Weidong and Ou Xiaoyang is really nothing, and it is nothing compared to the payment for the radio taken away by Wang Weidong.

Factory Director Lu and Deputy Factory Director Fang seem to have never thought about the cost of radios. With such lavish spending, how high should the radios be sold and how many units must be sold before the radio factory will not lose money?

They seem to have no concept of profit and loss in their heads. It is still the same as in the past. The money made by the factory belongs to the state, and the money lost by the factory is borne by the state. In this case, spending a little more is nothing.

Wang Weidong returned home in the morning and told his parents that he would go back tomorrow.

When Li Yufeng heard about this incident, she immediately went out to buy groceries to prepare for the family reunion dinner together in the evening.

Now only Wang Haifu and grandma Huang Guiying are left at home.

"Two days ago, Xianjin and Xiaomei went to Deputy Factory Director Fang's house to see if they could be transferred to the radio factory. But the next day, one went to the shipping team and the other to the canteen. You are responsible for this matter." Wang Haifu

said.

"When my sister-in-law wanted me to go to Deputy Factory Director Fang to plead for mercy, I didn't agree, and I also advised them not to go, but they went anyway!" Wang Weidong said.

"Now all the employees in the chemical factory feel that they can make more money by working in the radio factory, so they are naturally willing to go there," Wang Haifu said.

"On the TV news, it is always said that you have to be responsible for your own profits and losses. If Xiangyang Chemical Factory produces military products, it will not be responsible for its own profits and losses. Now it has to be responsible for its own profits and losses if it produces radios and float glass. Can a method like theirs be profitable?"

Wang Weidong said.

"I know a little bit about you at home, but neither your mother nor your eldest brother and sister-in-law know. It's very hard for me to work in the shipping team now. Xiaomei has to work night shift one third of the time now. Deputy Factory Director Fang is targeting you!

"Wang Haifu said.

"I will buy a new bicycle for my sister-in-law, and then buy a box of milk powder for Xiaoya to increase her nutrition." Wang Weidong said.

"What Vice Factory Director Fang did was very unethical. I heard that he assigned his brother-in-law to be his driver, and also bought a high-end car called San, San Nata!" Wang Haifu said.

Old workers like Wang Haifu still have the old concept of appreciating hard-working and simple cadres, so they don't like people like Deputy Factory Director Fang.

"Don't worry about the chemical plant in the future. Apart from receiving your retirement salary, it has nothing to do with the chemical plant. If you have anything to do at home, just tell me. It's great to play chess, fish and practice qigong! I will go out and buy a bicycle for my sister-in-law right now." Wang Weidong

With that said, he left the house.

He waited for half an hour for the bus and took the bus to Fengshan County.

There were only three or four types of bicycles, all 28-inch bicycles. Wang Weidong bought the most expensive Phoenix brand bicycle. He also bought a whole box of milk powder. He tied the milk powder to the back seat of the bicycle and rode back to Xiangyang Chemical Factory.

In the afternoon, when Qu Xiaomei got off work, she saw a brand new bicycle in the outer room. Li Yufeng said: "Weidong bought this for you! From now on, you don't have to ride an advanced bicycle to work."

Qu Xiaomei fumbled with the bicycle, dialed the bell a few times, and looked at the phoenix logo on it. She liked it very much.

"Mom, does this bike cost a lot of money? Where's Wei Dong?" Qu Xiaomei asked.

"He went back to his father-in-law's house to pick up Ji Hong and the children. Tomorrow his family and your grandma will return to Harbin. Let's have a reunion dinner together as a family tonight!" Li Yufeng replied.

While Wang Weidong's family was having a reunion dinner, Ou Xiaoyang drove to the government housing compound. After getting out of the car, he burped and went upstairs to go home.

When he walked into the house, his parents were waiting for him in the living room.

Ou Xiaoyang sat down next to his father and raised his arms around his father's shoulders!

He usually behaves well when he sees his father, but this time he was particularly unruly.

"Congratulations, Comrade Lao Ou!" Ou Xiaoyang said.

"You guys came back after drinking?" Ou Xiaoyang's father asked sharply.

"After drinking it, I feel happy." Ou Xiaoyang said.

I just got the news that Ou Xiaoyang's father will be transferred to the capital in October to take up a casual position for a few years before retiring. This is much better than retiring directly.

"Get out of here!" Ou Xiaoyang's father pushed Ou Xiaoyang.

Ou Xiaoyang's mother was sitting on the side and watching with a smile. It was rare for father and son to be so close.

"Let me ask you, have you and Wang Weidong collected all the money back from the radio factory?" Ou Xiaoyang's father asked.

"How did your old man know?" Ou Xiaoyang asked.

"How did I know? Dozens of 17-inch Peony brand color TVs in the department store were sold out in four or five days. How could I not know!" said Ou Xiaoyang's father.

"Those payments are the fruit of victory that Wang Weidong and I have worked hard over the years. We can't let others go down the mountain to pick peaches! Even so, there are still more than 30,000 peaches left in the warehouse!" Ou Xiaoyang said.

"It's not good for you to do this!" Ou Xiaoyang's father said.

"What's wrong? The country doesn't say the more you work, the more you get. If you don't work, you won't get it. Whoever works gets it!" Ou Xiaoyang said confidently.
