Shen Wei, Zheng Baoyong, and Liu Xuehong looked at Fang Chen in confusion, with countless question marks floating in their minds.

Class? What class?

Why go to the Telecommunications Bureau to take classes?

Who is the teacher?

Why pretend to be a salesperson?

Fang Chen smiled slightly, "You will know it later, but I have agreed on the script first. This time, Liu Xuehong will be the main character!"

As he said this, Fang Chen pointed at Liu Xuehong behind him.

Liu Xuehong was dumbfounded. He felt that Fang Chen was already blessed by being able to take him with him. After all, the two people beside him were the factory director and the chief engineer, and he was just the chief of the quality inspection department. There was a difference of several levels between them. , but Fang Chen actually said that he is the main one now.

"Do the people from the telecommunications bureau know you?" Fang Chen asked directly.

Liu Xuehong nodded, "Whenever there is a problem with the equipment in the factory, the factory will send our quality inspection department and technical department over to see where the problem lies. I have been dealing with the Telecommunications Bureau for ten years."

This was obviously expected, it should have been there, Fang Chen was just confirming it again.

"That's good. Later you will take the three of us to sell the equipment in the factory. The three of us will be your salesmen." Fang Chen was like a director, simply arranging the script and roles.

"Mr. Fang, I am the head of the quality inspection department, not the sales department."

Liu Xuehong was like a goose being grabbed by the neck, barely letting out his final cry.

He really didn't know what Fang Chen was thinking. He pretended to be a salesman and went to the telecommunications bureau to sell equipment. What was this? A quirk of the rich?

It's not a big deal to sell equipment, and it's not difficult to occasionally play a guest role as the sales section chief. Two years ago, he would still be a fat guy, but the key point is that he really doesn't want to be slapped in the face. As early as a year ago, the Telecommunications Bureau No more equipment from their factory.

"Then you are now." Fang Chen said lightly.

Liu Xuehong felt that the last gap in his neck had been completely squeezed.

Is he now the sales section chief?

Liu Xuehong was really speechless. This was too willful. Do we still need to organize the procedures?

Isn’t this something that should be decided through mass inspection first, asking for personal opinions, and then going to the factory director’s meeting?

How can you say that a word is enough to make a decision? Isn't this a dictatorship?

But when he thought about it, Liu Xuehong was like a goose that had all its feathers plucked, looking at the sky lifelessly. He had already realized that their factory was now a private enterprise, and Fang Chen was the boss, so there was no need for organizational procedures.

"But Mr. Fang, if we go to sell LT240 again, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get through the door of the telecommunications bureau." Liu Xuehong took a strong breath and struggled to death.

It looked like a big goose that had been plucked suddenly jumped up, strode its two slender legs, and struggled to escape into the distance.

Fang Chen smiled and said: "Then let's go sell lt500."

lt500!lt500!lt500!

Liu Xuehong was completely speechless. Looking at Fang Chen's determined look, if he hadn't been in the factory every day, he really thought the factory had produced some LT500!

Yes! He accepted his fate.

Fang Chen's words were like a huge net falling from the sky, locking Liu Xuehong's running goose directly and firmly in the net.

Looking out the window, Fang Chen sighed lightly. No matter it was LT240 or LT500, even LT1000 could not change its fate of not being sold, so what's the difference?

The car stopped slowly at the entrance of the telecommunications office.

Fang Chen got out of the car and couldn't help but sigh inexplicably when he saw the familiar scene in front of him.

A dilapidated three-story building, with ivy outside the building, some scattered window frames, and some places even without glass, just covered with plastic sheets.

There is no difference between the telecommunications bureau in front of him and the telecommunications bureau in his memory. It is the same now, it was the same when he first came to the telecommunications bureau in 1996, it was the same when he left the telecommunications bureau in 1999, and even until the telecommunications bureau was split later.

, the management functions of the Telecommunications Bureau were merged into the Luozhou Industry and Information Technology Bureau, and the former Telecommunications Bureau became the Information Industry Section. Only then did this three-story building become completely desolate.

In fact, the Telecommunications Bureau should still be called the Postal and Telecommunications Bureau, but Fang Chen used to call it the Telecommunications Bureau. The Telecommunications Bureau was independent from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in 1994, and it was changed to the Telecommunications Bureau when he graduated.

However, in 1995, the Telecommunications Bureau was restructured and Huaxia Telecom was established. However, it is still a mixture of government and enterprises. It must operate independently and assume many regulatory and management responsibilities. The property rights and powers and responsibilities of the company are clear.

Separately, the modern enterprise system with scientific management is far removed from it.

Although the country established China Unicom in 1994, it still could not change the status quo of telecom being the dominant player.

At that time, Huaxia Telecom had one million employees and fixed assets of 600 billion, making it an extremely huge behemoth.

People complained about the expensive initial installation fees and international long-distance calls, complained about the long waits, complained about the bad voice of telecom employees, and complained about the tallest telecom buildings everywhere.

There was even a joke at the time that Americans went without food and water for ten months to buy a car, while Chinese people went without food and water for ten months to install a phone.

But what is even more ironic in reality is that even if the latter went without food or drink for ten months to install a phone, this is still a behavior that can only be done by people who first became rich in China.

It was not until the establishment of the Ministry of Information Industry in 1998 that the telecommunications industry realized a complete separation of government and enterprises. In 1999, China Telecom was split. Its mobile business became China Mobile Company, and its satellite business became China Satellite Communications Company.

The paging business, that is, Guosen Paging Company, was fully integrated into China Unicom.

The remaining telecommunications entities are the telecommunications companies that everyone is familiar with in later generations.

Then in 2001, the state issued telecommunications operation licenses to China Netcom, Jitong, and Tietong. At this time, China Basic Telecom was operated by more than two companies in each business field, forming a preliminary market competition pattern.

Liu Xuehong had completely resigned himself to his fate. He walked to the gate obediently, took out a cigarette and handed it to the gatekeeper with a familiarity.

The gatekeeper took the cigarette and saw that it was Hongtashan. His eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Chief Liu, I haven't seen you in recent times. It seems that he has made a fortune. He even smokes Hongtashan and scatters flowers."

Don’t you want to smoke anymore?”

Liu Xuehong laughed twice and said, "Welcome to smoke, treat to smoke."

This cigarette should actually belong to Shen Wei. He has been following Shen Wei recently, so Shen Wei will not treat him badly. He has no cigarettes here, so he directly asks Shen Wei for them.

The janitor took a breath and felt nicotine slowly pouring into his lungs through his respiratory tract, and then he said: "I heard that your factory was sold to a private owner, and even wages were repaid yesterday. Everyone was paid

After spending thousands of dollars, you are in a good time."

Liu Xuehong is not surprised that the caretaker is well-informed. Although they are a company and this is the post and telecommunications office, they are all in the same system and communication system. Everything in the family home is connected together, so the caretaker is well-informed.

To what extent, I don’t know, that’s what’s called weird.

"Rumors say that I only owe a total of five hundred yuan in wages. Where can I send a thousand yuan? They are not philanthropic. I would like to ask Section Chief Zhang if he is here."

Liu Xuehong subconsciously glanced at Fang Chen next to him while he was talking. He couldn't help but tremble and went straight to the topic. He really didn't dare to say any more. If he said more, he would make more mistakes.

"Why are you looking for Section Chief Zhang of the Planning Department?" The janitor looked at Liu Xuehong with a wary expression, no longer as warm as before.

He originally thought there was something wrong with the bureau's switch, so he called Liu Xuehong, but he should have gone to Chief Chu of the Maintenance and Support Department, but he couldn't find Chief Zhang.

The Planning Department is the department responsible for the entire communication planning of Luozhou. It formulates the implementation plan for all communication facilities in Luozhou. Naturally, it is also responsible for determining what equipment to use in the bureau. It is one of the departments with relatively strong power in the bureau.

For people like Liu Xuehong, who works in a communications equipment company, the purpose of finding the planning department is naturally self-evident, which is to sell equipment.

However, the bureau has already made repeated orders not to use the switches from the telephone equipment factory. In fact, the bureau still has more than 20 switches piled up in the bureau. The discarded switches purchased from the telephone equipment factory have no place to dispose of them.

In the past, it could be sold to county-level bureaus at a cheaper price, but now, county-level bureaus despise it because it is too old, takes too long, has too many faults, and has too small capacity. If it fails, they will be sold as scrap metal.

.

The janitor was about to say something, but when he glanced at the Hongta Mountain in his hand, his tone suddenly dropped a lot, and he said earnestly: "Xuehong, I'm not telling you, the bureau really doesn't want the equipment in your factory, and now it's still piled up.

Since there are more than 20 stations and there is no place to deal with them, I just called Section Chief Zhang for you. You will be in trouble when you get there. Besides, you are the section chief of the quality inspection department, not the sales section chief.

What are you doing with this?"

Although he had known this would be the result, Liu Xuehong still felt very heartbroken when he heard these words, and a wave of pain and helplessness that could not be expressed in words suddenly came over him.

Their telephone equipment factory or the 537 factory has always been the largest communication equipment factory in Central Plains Province. When it was still prosperous seven or eight years ago, the Luozhou Post and Telecommunications Bureau gave them a cold face. If they wanted to get the equipment from their factory, they would

You have to queue up conscientiously. If you want to rush, you have to treat the guests to dinner and say good words.

And one thing you need to know is that their factory is a deputy department-level unit, while the Luozhou Post and Telecommunications Bureau is only a department-level unit.

Now, things are changing, and he is a cadre at the department level, handing cigarettes to the janitor, and also touching someone's cold butt with a warm face.

What makes him feel even more aggrieved is that in the past, for the sake of everyone being in Luozhou, their factory took good care of the Luozhou Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and even said something bad about it. Now the Luozhou Post and Telecommunications Bureau has eliminated more than 20 switches.

This is the best proof.

If they hadn't been taken care of in the first place, where would they have had so many switches?
