Chapter 17 "Recruiting troops"

Because of his cheerful personality, Yang Dehua handled interpersonal relationships in the factory well and was the best person in Sun Yong's circle.

It was not until this time that Sun Yong and Zhao Dongsheng realized that it was noon and everyone in the office had gone out to have dinner, so they followed Yang Dehua to the cafeteria.

The three of them walked and chatted on the road. Sun Yong praised the circuit diagrams designed by Zhao Dongsheng. Yang Dehua was very surprised. This was the first time that the arrogant Sun Yong admired someone.

"Yesterday, I discussed with Director Niu of the Jiu Workshop to prepare for the recorder. What do you think?" After making meals in the cafeteria, the three of them sat together. After chatting for a while, Zhao Dongsheng looked at Sun Yong and Yang Dehua with a smile.

"Character?" Sun Yong understood now. No wonder those circuit diagrams were about recording and playback systems. It turned out that Zhao Dongsheng had the idea of ​​producing a recorder.

"This requires a lot of money!" Yang Dehua was surprised. He never expected that Zhao Dongsheng would dare to promote the reform of the Ninth Workshop. You should know that there are all factors involved in this. The most important point is funding, which is full of difficulties.

"I will solve the problem of funding. I hope my brothers can help me, help the Jiu Workshop, work together to make the Jiu Workshop bigger and stronger, and realize our ambitions." Zhao Dongsheng smiled slightly and looked at Sun Yong and Yang Dehua sincerely. "Although the conditions in the Jiu Workshop are not satisfactory now, I believe that as long as we unite and we will definitely be able to survive this difficult period."

"I'll join!" Sun Yong pondered for a moment, and looked at Yang Dehua on the side with a firm expression. "Instead of being a corpse and living a mess here, it's better to take a fight and realize your life value."

"As long as you can solve the problem of funds, I will join." Seeing that Sun Yong expressed his attitude, Yang Dehua smiled and said to Zhao Dongsheng. He was not a person who was willing to be lonely. Since Zhao Dongsheng and Sun Yong could both devote themselves to the reform of the Ninth Workshop without hesitation, he certainly could not stand by. However, he had more rationality than Sun Yong. First, he had to see if Zhao Dongsheng could solve the funds needed for the reform of the Ninth Workshop, and then make the final decision.

"Thank you." Zhao Dongsheng clasped his fists at Sun Yong and Yang Dehua when he heard this, "Brothers, I hope you two will help you get some off the wind."

The brothers Zhao Dongsheng mentioned naturally refer to the assigned college students. These people were not doing well in Huangzhou Machinery Factory. Now Zhao Dongsheng has provided them with a stage to show their talents, so they will most likely join the reform of the workshop nine.

Sun Yong and Yang Dehua contacted the college students in the technical department in the afternoon. After learning about the Ninth Workshop, everyone showed great interest and inquire about the details from the two of them with great interest.

After lunch, Zhao Dongsheng and Niu Baoguo rushed to the city electronics factory in two trucks. Niu Baoguo's face was flushed and smelled of alcohol. It seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine at noon.

Since Zhao Dongsheng has released Sun Yong, the wind that the Jiu Workshop wants to produce a recorder, he must immediately take over the unused machine tools of the electronics factory. This is the key to the success or failure of the Jiu Workshop reform.

Therefore, before going to find Sun Yong in the morning, Zhao Dongsheng went to the Ninth workshop first and asked Niu Baoguo to invite Zhang Kun, the director of the electronics factory, to have dinner at noon and buy the machine tools.

Niu Baoguo called Zhang Kun in front of Zhao Dongsheng and finalized the lunch break. Zhao Dongsheng bought Niu Baoguo the highest price of those machine tools - 50,000 yuan. This is the bottom line that Zhao Dongsheng psychologically endured. If he could not win those machine tools for 50,000 yuan, the overall cost of the renovation of the nine workshop would exceed 100,000 yuan.

To Zhao Dongsheng's surprise, the machine tool matters went very smoothly. After Niu Baoguo claimed Zhang Kun the highest price of 50,000 yuan, Zhang Kun gave him a 20% discount, which only costs 40,000 yuan.

It turned out that since those machine tools were idle, they were targeted by two gangs of businessmen in the city.

As the saying goes, those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. These two gangs have backstages in the city and have deep backgrounds. Zhang Kun cannot afford to offend either.

Both gangs wanted to get those machine tools at a low price. The highest one bid 5,000 yuan, and the other one paid 4,000 yuan. However, both parties could give Zhang Kun a benefit fee of 1,000 yuan, and just treat those machine tools as scrap...

According to the current situation of those machine tools, they can be sold at least 200,000 yuan. The two gangs will take it away after spending a few thousand yuan, which is clearly bullying.

Zhang Kun didn't want to suffer this silence, but he didn't dare to offend the backstage of the two gangs, so he could only adopt a procrastination strategy to delay the matter. Anyway, he couldn't afford to offend either of these two gangs, so it would be better not to sell it.

Niu Baoguo's appearance has helped Zhang Kun a lot. Although the 40,000 yuan is not much, it is still higher than the price paid by the two gangs. In addition, Huangzhou Machinery Factory is a state-owned enterprise, selling machine tools to Niu Baoguo does not involve the interests of the private sector. It can handle those tricky machine tools, and also give the two gangs an explanation.

Although Zhang Kun reduced Niu Baoguo by 10,000 yuan, since the Ninth Workshop had not raised funds yet, Niu Baoguo did not have a penny on hand, so he signed an agreement with Zhang Kun to take back the machine tools first and pay him a deposit within a month.

Zhang Kun was not worried about Niu Baoguo's debt. The machinery factory and electronics factory were both state-owned enterprises. The funds exchanged between the two parties had to go through their respective accounts, which was a business between the two factories. Even if something went wrong, it had nothing to do with him.

Originally, I just needed to pull the machine tool Niu Baoguo to bring people here in the afternoon, but who made the Jiu Workshop poor and lacked money now, so Zhao Dongsheng followed him, wanting to see if he could take advantage of the electronics factory and get some raw materials.

"This is Zhao Weiguo, a top student from Yan University." In the electronics factory, Zhao Dongsheng met Zhang Kun, a strong middle-aged man. Niu Baoguo smiled and introduced Zhao Dongsheng to Zhang Kun.

Niu Baoguo had already told Zhang Kunjiu that the recording machine was being prepared to produce a tape recorder in the workshop. Zhang Kun was shocked by this. He felt that Niu Baoguo must be crazy. Did he just want to enter the home appliance market with those old machine tools? The competition here is quite fierce.

Many people in China are optimistic about the future home appliance market, so the home appliance industry is the first to be affected by reform and opening up. Several powerful home appliance factories have been built in coastal cities in the south, which has brought huge pressure to home appliance manufacturers in the mainland.

"Technician Zhao is young and promising!" While shaking hands, Zhang Kun looked at Zhao Dongsheng with a smile.

"Director Zhang is too much, thank you for your support." Zhao Dongsheng replied with a smile.

"Old Niu, if your tape recorder is on the rise in the future, you will have to take our factory." After shook hands with Zhao Dongsheng, Zhang Kun looked at Niu Baoguo jokingly.

"What's the point? In front of you, we are students. We will always have only the part of learning. Please take care of you in the future." Niu Baoguo waved his hand and said with a smile.

At this moment, no one expected that just a few years later, the electronics factory was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management. Zhao Dongsheng really brought the electronics factory as Zhang Kun said, merged it, avoiding the unemployment of the electronics factory employees.

Zhang Kun was already ready, and as soon as Zhao Dongsheng and the others arrived, they called people to start moving the machine tool onto the truck.

After Zhao Dongsheng took a walk in the warehouse of the electronics factory, he fell in love with some raw materials. Zhang Kun was very generous and asked him to get on the car without saying a word, even if it was a support for the reform of the Jiu Workshop.

For Zhang Kun, this was just a small task, but it was undoubtedly a "timely help". In the history of the reform of the Ninth Workshop, this selfless aid from the electronics factory was clearly recorded, becoming the thing that Zhang Kun is most proud of, and an important factor in the electronics factory being lucky to be merged by Zhao Dongsheng.

You should know that at that time, many key state-owned enterprises in Hedong Province were running around to be merged by Zhao Dongsheng, and electronic factories were full of luck.

After pulling the motorcycle back to the Ninth Workshop, Jia Wei, deputy director of the Ninth Workshop, directed people to unload the goods. Zhao Dongsheng and Niu Baoguo discussed the reform matters in the office of the director of the workshop, and were preparing to come up with a brief plan. They went to visit Zhang Haishan in the evening, hoping to get Zhang Haishan's support.

Only with the support of Zhang Haishan can the reform of Jiu Workshop be finally implemented, otherwise everything would be nothing more than empty talk.

When the people in Workshop Jiu were transporting machine tools and raw materials, they attracted many people from the outside workshop. They pointed at them and talked a lot. The fact that Workshop Jiu was going to produce a recorder had already spread in the afternoon. Everyone was not optimistic about this and was waiting to see the lively atmosphere of Workshop Jiu.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Dongsheng and Niu Baoguo knocked on Zhang Haishan's door.

It is early September, and Zhao Mei and Zhang Hu have returned to the capital, and Zhang Haishan is there at home, so they open the door and let the two of them go in.

"Manager, we have something we want to report to you. I hope the factory manager will give you more valuable suggestions." After sitting in the living room, Zhao Dongsheng took out a folder from Niu Baoguo's briefcase and handed it to Zhang Haishan, and said with a smile, "I also hope the factory manager can support us."

Zhang Haishan had heard about the Nine Workshop, guessed the purpose of Zhao Dongsheng and Niu Baoguo, and quietly looked through the files in the folder.

The content of the document is about the reform plan of the Jiu Workshop. Although the preparations are not very detailed, they are clearly organized and the key issues are explained very clearly.
