"Do you know how many employees there are in Linyi Machinery?" Tang Zifeng asked back.

Xiao Wenjun shook his head. Tang Zifeng said: "There are 6,800 employees in Linyi Machinery and more than 1,000 retired employees, and the total number of the two is 8,000. You only see the factory leaders asking for four dishes for meals, but you never thought that even if the factory leaders save these four dishes and get 8,000 employees, how much money can a person have?"

"But this is not your reason for luxury." Xiao Wenjun retorted.

Tang Zifeng said: "You made a mistake. In fact, after Director Zhou and I arrived at Linyi Machinery, the first thing Director Zhou did was to sell the Mercedes-Benz sedan bought by his ex-leader to reimburse retired employees for medical expenses. Do you think Director Zhou is a person who pursues luxury?"

“…”

"The leader needs to take the lead, which is right. But I feel that as long as the leader is hard and simple, the entire factory employees can become rich. This means that you will not eat meat."

“…”

"I tell you, before we arrived at Linyi, Linyi had suffered losses for years. At the worst, the entire factory workers only paid three wages a year, and were called a three-investment enterprise."

"How could this happen?" Xiao Wenjun was stunned. The friend she met at Linyiji told her that Linyiji was not good at operating, but she really didn't say that she was paying three times a year. She is also a child of the company, so she naturally knows the importance of salary to employees. When her family's financial situation is not good, her parents would count the days at the end of each month and wait for the day of salary payment. If the institute only paid three times a year at that time, she would not know how her parents would deal with it.

Tang Zifeng sighed and said, "Just seeing Xiaohui's family is poor, how many families in the factory are in poverty? The first thing I did after I arrived at the first round was to go to Jinyao Vehicle Factory to get a 2 million yuan debt, with the purpose of coming back to pay the entire factory employees two months' salary."

"I know about this. The factory people said that you threatened the factory manager with bricks at that time, and then got the money back." Xiao Wenjun said.

Tang Zifeng said helplessly: "I said I was holding a pipe pliers at that time. Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Xiao Wenjun said, and then explained: "Actually, Nana told me about this. She said that you caught some of the other factory director's handle and threatened him to get the money. However, Nana did not tell me the specific situation. She would not hide anything from me in the past, but she refused to tell me the truth if she beat her to death. So I know that this must be a very sensitive thing, and you should have taken a lot of risks."

"It seems that Bao Nana knows the right way," said Tang Zifeng. "I am indeed not suitable to tell others about the specific situation. Bao Nana is the helper I have sought, so she knows that I have repeatedly asked her not to leak a word. As for the risks, I will tell you a joke. I just returned to the factory from Jin Yao and found someone in my room, which almost scared me to death. I thought it was the killer sent by Song Fulai to silence him, but who knew it was Xiaohui."

Xiao Wenjun did not laugh, but murmured: "I didn't expect you to be so difficult..."

Tang Zifeng said: "The only way to help people like Xiaohui is to constantly develop new businesses and bring back the first one. You should have heard Bao Nana say that at the end of last year, we developed a baler product, which was built with a total profit of nearly 60 million yuan, with a gross profit of more than 10 million yuan, which is enough for the entire factory's half a year of expenses. Before the Spring Festival, we paid everyone a three-month salary. You see that Xiaohui occasionally wore the new jacket she wore, which was bought for her after her family received the repaid salary."

"So that's how it is..." A trace of darkness flashed across Xiao Wenjun's face. After a while, he whispered: "Senior brother, I'm sorry..."

Tang Zifeng said: "If you don't understand the situation, you can't be sorry. In fact, the engineers from the technical department who came to Linyi Machinery to teach us this time has helped us a lot. If we can get the order for reboring and open up the market for reboring, there will be orders of three or five units a year, and there will be 30 or 50 million. We thank you for not having enough time."

Xiao Wenjun shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, I am not talking about this. I..., I may have done something wrong."

"What's the matter?" Tang Zifeng asked inadvertently.

"Agoing the New Year, there was a Longhu Machinery Factory in Jingnan Province, which imitated the balers of your factory, but they were always unsuccessful. Later, our teacher took us to Jingnan for internship. I discovered the trap you set in the baler design..."

Xiao Wenjun said intermittently. She suddenly felt guilty, feeling that she was sorry for Tang Zifeng and Yu Xiaohui.

A few years ago at Longhu Machinery Factory, facing the technical trap set by Linyi Machine in the baler, Xiao Wenjun simply regarded it as an assignment question. With her talent, it was no problem to solve such a low-level technical problem. At that time, Linyi Machine was completely a cloud for her, and she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

But when she began to contact Linyiji and had her own friends here, and when she saw a girl like Yu Xiaohui being humiliated for a few yuan exercises, the company was no longer irrelevant to her. When she heard Tang Zifeng's self-reporting efforts exhausted, she felt a little ashamed when she heard Tang Zifeng's self-reporting efforts disappear while chatting and laughing.

"Ha, what's this?"

When Tang Zifeng heard what Xiao Wenjun said, he waved his hand and said, "I didn't expect to deceive them forever from the beginning. However, this Longhu Machinery Factory needs to find the problem with Tsinghua people, which is really a waste of me to look up to them."

"But if I don't help them find the problem, can you sell more balers?" Xiao Wenjun asked.

Tang Zifeng said: "Maybe we can sell three or five more units, but it doesn't mean much. In fact, after the Spring Festival, we learned that in Jingnan province alone, at least five township enterprises have successfully imitated our balers. The Longhu Machinery Factory you mentioned is just one of them. You are so familiar with Lao Qin, you can ask him, I said at the beginning that balers are just one-time transactions, and it is impossible to rely on this to survive on one machine."

"But, I still feel sorry for it." Xiao Wenjun said.

Tang Zifeng smiled and said, "It's okay if you feel sorry for this dumpling. I won't interfere with this meal today. You are responsible for kneading the noodles, mixing the filling, making dumplings, and putting them in the pot. Xiaohui and I are only responsible for eating them."

"It's no problem." Xiao Wenjun agreed very readily, but there was no relaxed expression on her face. As a top student, she has always strictly demanded herself and could not allow herself to make any mistakes. But who would have thought that she had made such a big mistake inadvertently.

Indeed, Tang Zifeng said that her actions had no substantial impact on Li Yi Machine, because the technical secrets of the baler could not be hidden for too long. Without Bao Nana's false propaganda, those counterfeit companies might even realize the problem of steel varieties from the beginning and solve it by modifying the design. Xiao Wenjun's actions at Longhu Machinery Factory were only to save the Zhao brothers some time to explore, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Xiao Wenjun knew that Tang Zifeng's words were not fake, because her cracking techniques were not difficult. Even if she didn't say anything at that time, her teachers and other classmates could also solve this problem. To be wrong, it can only be said that the Chinese people at that time did not have a strong sense of intellectual property protection, and the government did not have strong policies. This has nothing to do with her.

However, Xiao Wenjun is not the kind of person who will easily forgive herself. When she was in middle school, she once accidentally saw a question in the teacher's office, and later this question appeared on the midterm exam paper. The method she adopted was to give up answering this question. Although she could easily solve it even though she had not peeped at this question before, she still chose to defend her feathers.

This is the paranoia of a top student.

Of course, this is also the paranoia that only a top student has the capital to stick to.

"Senior brother, I want to sponsor Xiaohui. Do you think it's OK?" Xiao Wenjun asked timidly.

"No need." Tang Zifeng said flatly, "If you need to support her, I have more conditions than you, and I have richer than you. But Xiaohui also has her self-esteem, and she will not accept funding from others. This is why I asked her to buy vegetables and cook for me. It is not embarrassing to make money through my own labor. But if she relies on funding from others, she will not be able to raise her head in the future."

"I think so too, so..." Xiao Wenjun didn't know what to say. She was not a person with no social experience at all. She knew that it was inappropriate to rashly give others support. At this moment, she began to realize what kind of kindness it was for Tang Zifeng to hire Yu Xiaohui as a nanny. Of course, Tang Zifeng's initial starting point was probably just because she was lazy, so Xiao Wenjun had no need to expose this.

Tang Zifeng said: "Junior sister, you really don't have to think that you have done something wrong. Don't worry, with your senior brother here, tomorrow will definitely be better. We have already set a goal at the factory meeting to achieve full profit by the end of this year. At that time, we will pay back the wages owed to employees in the past few years and will comprehensively increase the wages of employees.

"Now, some of the better units in society have employees' wages of more than 300 yuan, or even 500 yuan. Our average wage of employees is only 150 yuan, which is far behind. Our goal is to increase the average wage level to more than 200 yuan by next Spring Festival, and by 1997, it will increase to more than 400 yuan.

"If this goal can be achieved, the financial situation of Xiaohui's family will improve greatly. Such improvement will last for a long time, and it is also what her family deserves. Relying on funding to improve their lives is not a long-term solution after all."

"So, can you do it?" Xiao Wenjun asked.

Tang Zifeng sighed pretendingly and said, "You have to do it, but you have to do it even if you can't. Who makes your senior brother miserable? Since you have boarded this pirate ship, you can only walk on without hesitation."
