Xiao Wenjun and others stayed in Linhe for two days before leaving. Bao Nana planned to go back to Chutian’s hometown for a few days, and then headed to the United States via Pujiang. Considering the expensive air tickets between China and the United States, it would probably take three to five years for her to come back.

Before leaving, she hugged Xiao Wenjun's shoulder and said a lot of crazy words to Tang Zifeng. The core theme was to entrust her best friend to Tang Zifeng. Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun knew that she was about to leave China, so they must feel a little uncomfortable, so they were too lazy to bother with her.

In order to accompany Xiao Wenjun and others, Tang Zifeng asked Zhou Heng for two days off and took Xiao Wenjun and his party to play around Linhe. When the guests were sent away, Tang Zifeng came to Zhou Heng's office to cancel the holiday. Zhou Heng casually asked Tang Zifeng's guests if they had fun in Linhe. Then, without waiting for Tang Zifeng to answer, he pointed to the sofa with his finger and said, "Xiao Tang, sit down, I want to discuss some things with you."

Tang Zifeng sat down. Zhou Heng said: "The business situation in the factory has been good recently. Han Weichang talked about the Northern Heavy Machinery Factory. Beizhong is preparing to order two CNC rebooting units from us, with an output value of about 30 million. The business of machine tool renovation and wood carving machine tools has been obtained at present, and the profitability of the first machine this year is a foregone conclusion.

"Yesterday I spoke with Director Xie. He said that the bureau is very satisfied with our work and believes that we have completed the tasks assigned to us by the Party Committee of the Bureau in advance and exceeded the number of tasks assigned to us by the Party Committee of the Bureau. The Party Committee of the Bureau will commend us."

"Is it just a commendation?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Zhou Heng said: "Why, commendation is not enough. Do you want the Party Committee of the Bureau to give you a bonus?"

"I don't care if the bonus is not a bonus. Didn't the bureau say when we will go back?" Tang Zifeng asked with a smile. After talking to Wang Zijie, he was not in a hurry to go back to the capital. He thought that the work at Linyi Machinery was also quite interesting. However, since Zhou Heng talked about this topic, he naturally had to ask about the situation.

Zhou Heng said: "I want to talk to you about this issue. The Party Committee of the Bureau first arranged for us to come to the first round of the first round, and the task proposed was to help us turn losses into profits, or even reduce losses, as long as we can stabilize the situation, it will be successful. The bureau gave us three years of time, but now it is less than a year, and we have already achieved profits, which is a great achievement.

"The Party Committee of the Bureau now gives me two choices. One is to continue to stay in Linyi Machinery for one or two years, stabilize the current results, and it is best to allow Linyi Machinery to have sufficient hematopoietic functions and then leave. The second is to hand over the shift now, and the department will arrange someone else to take over. After I go back, the department will arrange a position with a deputy bureau-level treatment for me, waiting for retirement."

"What about me?" Tang Zifeng said in surprise, and after talking for a long time, he had arranged for Zhou Heng. Is he so inconspicuous?

Zhou Heng laughed, obviously he was talking like that just now, deliberately trying to cheer Tang Zifeng up. He heard Tang Zifeng ask, and then he smiled and said, "The bureau also has arrangements. The first plan is that you continue to stay and adjust your position to deputy director of Linyi Machinery. After working for two years, you will return to the bureau and be a deputy director for one year as a transition. If there is no problem, you will be promoted to director before the age of 30. The second plan is that you can go back to the bureau now, first as a chief clerk, and first as a deputy director. Which one do you choose?"

"I listen to Director Zhou." Tang Zifeng kicked the ball directly to Zhou Heng. In fact, from the choice given in the game and Zhou Heng's narrative, he could guess that the second game actually hoped that Zhou Heng and him would continue to stay in the first round.

The reason why the bureau gave them a choice to return immediately was because this was the original promise. I believe the bureau leaders did not expect that they could open up the situation so quickly and bring Linyiji back to life. At the beginning, they thought it would take at least three years to achieve this goal, so they promised that as long as they turned the profit, they could go back. Now it is less than a year, and Linyiji has achieved profitability, so the bureau naturally cannot break its promise and be rich.

But from the perspective of the bureau, they do not want them to return immediately. The turnover of Linyi Machinery has a certain accidental component. Balers and wood carving machines are both "limited" businesses. This kind of business is actually not lasting and will be imitated by other companies sooner or later, and the profits of the entire market will be diluted. At that time, even if Linyi Machinery does not give up these businesses, it will not make much profit from it.

Rebooting and machine tool renovation are businesses with a certain technical content, and it is difficult for other companies to imitate. Among them, the renovation of ordinary machine tools is not difficult, but the profit is also low. The truly profitable renovation business is the renovation of imported high-precision machine tools and heavy-duty machine tools. This kind of business is not something that small township factories can handle. Pinyi Machine has core competitiveness in this regard.

But these two businesses alone are not enough to support Li Yiji. Li Yiji must continue to develop new flagship products to maintain vitality. Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng's ability in business operations has been recognized by the Party Committee of the Bureau, so the Party Committee of the Bureau hopes that they can stay for a while, and for this reason, they promised Tang Zifeng a condition to be promoted to the level of director before the age of 30.

A director level is an amazing level in the local area, but it is not considered a big deal in the central ministries and commissions. The director of the ministries and commissions is responsible for the ministers. The director is running errands and carrying bags. Who is not doing it? With the various achievements made by Tang Zifeng at the right time, it is not an exaggeration to mention a director level before the age of 30.

Of course, the premise is that Tang Zifeng is willing to continue to stay in Linyiji and create new miracles. If he stays in Linyiji just like a salted fish, then this promise will also go with the wind.

Tang Zifeng was unwilling to come to Yiji at first, but as he told Wang Zijie, after working for more than half a year, he actually liked such a job and had some feelings for Yiji. Compared to returning to the capital to continue to stay in the office, he would rather stay here and take Han Weichang out every once in a while, and get a big business back with his brains. This is also quite fun.

However, he would not say such words by himself. He had to let Zhou Heng make a decision for him and then pretend to accept it reluctantly. In this way, the second game would feel that he was brave enough to shoulder the heavy burden, which would be beneficial to his future development.

When Zhou Heng heard Tang Zifeng's words, he just smiled. How could Zhou Heng not see Tang Zifeng's little care? He said, "I'll just inform you of those just now. When I was on the phone with Director Xie yesterday, I had already expressed my opinion for you, saying that you would stay at Linyiji and help Linyiji get out of trouble completely. Director Xie asked me to convey his verbal praise to you on his behalf, and also said that the bureau will report you an advanced worker in the Machinery Department this year. So, you can work with peace of mind."

"Uh..." Tang Zifeng was speechless. He agreed to let him choose? Why did he trick himself without saying a word?

Lao Zhou, you have changed!

Tang Zifeng wanted to shout loudly to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng didn't care about Tang Zifeng's complaints. He made the decision for Tang Zifeng like this, but in fact he planned for Tang Zifeng's future. Tang Zifeng has indeed made some achievements in the past six months, but there are many accidental factors and cannot convince the public. If he just goes back like this, these achievements will soon be forgotten. Tang Zifeng may have been lingering in the position of deputy director level for many years.

If Tang Zifeng is left behind, let him work for another two or three years, and turn Linyiji into a star enterprise, his achievements will be extremely dazzling and his future will be smooth sailing. It is not difficult for young people to stay at the grassroots level and work for two years. What's wrong with spending two years to exchange for long-term development in the future?

Since he did it right, Zhou Heng naturally didn't have to care about what Tang Zifeng muttered. He said, "Xiao Tang, since we have decided to stay, we should make a long-term plan. Now Linyiji's financial situation is good and the employees are very enthusiastic. What do you think we should do next?"

"Enter technology development." Tang Zifeng said without hesitation. This is actually what he had thought about long ago. Even if Zhou Heng didn't come to him, he would take the initiative to talk to Zhou Heng. His mind was similar to Zhou Heng, that is, since he planned to work for a few more years, he had to make long-term plans. Making money by shaking his little cleverness can only be a stopgap measure. If you want to develop sustainably, you can only rely on technical strength.

As an old-fashioned enterprise, Linyi Machinery has a rich technical foundation. However, the current technology is developing very rapidly, and it will not take long to rely on old capital alone. The most typical aspect is that Linyi Machinery is far behind foreign companies in CNC technology. Although it has the assistance of Factory 432, other people's technology is after all, and it is not as easy to use as your own technology.

Without CNC technology, there will be no competitiveness in the future market. Even if Tang Zifeng is a technology-blind, he is very clear about this.

"Several aspects." Tang Zifeng said, "First, we must establish our own CNC technology research center, recruit at least 100 electronic engineers, and strive to get rid of the technical dependence on Factory 432 within three years and turn Factory 432 into our vassal."

"It's not too small." Zhou Heng commented with a smile, but he still recorded a note in the notebook in front of him, and said: "Old Qin also made a report on the issue of CNC technology, but his courage is not as great as yours. He just proposed to build a team of 3 or 40 people. You have 100 people at one mouth."

"100 people are not enough." Tang Zifeng said, "For foreign machine tool giants, the ratio of R&D personnel and production personnel can reach 1 to 1, or even 2 to 1. Their core capabilities are all in design. All machine tool accessories are outsourced, and they only do the final assembly themselves. Our technical department has only more than 200 people, and with the technical strength of each workshop, there are less than 400 technicians, which is less than 1/10 of the total number of employees. This proportion is too low."

"We have to eat one bite at a time. In the past, we always focused on production and neglected R&D, so it is inevitable that the proportion of workers is high. However, the construction of the technical team is indeed on the agenda." Zhou Heng commented.
