Chapter 4: There are not many cruel words
The 9-kilometer drive from the East Gate of the National People's Congress to the Machinery Department is just within the range of the "face" starting price of 10 yuan. Tang Zifeng got off at the entrance of the machinery department and threw a 10 yuan note to the driver. Then, under the driver's hatred gaze, he walked into the Machinery Department building with great strides.
"Xiao Tang went out to do business?"
"Wow, you were dressed so handsome today!"
"Hey, did Xiao Tang change his hairstyle? I think you didn't have this hairstyle yesterday..."
Walking in the corridor of the Second Bureau, a wave of greetings came to him. Tang Zifeng had a bit of handsome talent. As a time traveler, he had a chic temperament that people did not have in those days, and his every move seemed different. For example, it was normal for Chinese people to wear suits in this era, but most people regard suits as a very serious outfit. After putting them on, they couldn't help but hold some airs. Tang Zifeng was able to wear suits with a bit of casual taste, which made people feel bright at a glance.
There was no saying that "appearance is justice" back then, but Tang Zifeng did become the focus of all women in the second bureau. Needless to say, the girls in the mailroom who were just in their early 20s, even the half-old Xu girl in the information room couldn't help but flirt with him when she saw him.
Tang Zifeng had strong resistance to this kind of "sex" in the last century. He nodded and smiled to every female colleague who greeted him, and sometimes he would praise the other person's appearance and complexion. Most of the female cadres in the Second Bureau were much older than Tang Zifeng. He didn't care what position he was or whether he was old enough to be his aunt, and he was called "sister". He said that people in their 50s looked like they were in their 30s, and that people in their 30s looked younger than themselves.
The result of placing honey on his mouth like this naturally won him countless praises in the unit. It is easier for him to do something in the unit than many colleagues who have been there for more than ten years. For example, he finds reasons to ask for leave every once in a while. If it is someone else, Aunt Liu Yanping, deputy director of the Mechanical and Electrical Department, must have repeatedly questioned her and would give her a bad face when she was about to stop. But it was Tang Zi's turn to be the limelight. Aunt Liu was happy every time and didn't care whether he was using public service to make money.
Because he knew that the director was looking for him, Tang Zifeng did not return to his office and came directly to Zhou Heng's office. Before entering the door, he put away all the smiles he had just made to deal with his female colleagues, and replaced them with a serious face and appeared in front of Zhou Heng.
"Where have you been going?"
Sure enough, Zhou Heng was not Liu Yanping, and he would not smile with an evil look when he saw Tang Zifeng. Looking at the remaining sweat beads on Tang Zifeng's forehead, Zhou Heng frowned and asked. The word "Yes" in his words contained a deep malice, because Tang Zifeng had no time to leave work when he was at work. Although he had obtained Liu Yanping's consent every time and had strong reasons, Zhou Heng did not believe these reasons because he was neither stupid nor ignorant.
"I'm back to school and check some information. Some of the latest information on industrial policies are not available in our bureau's data room, only the National People's Congress data room can be found."
Tang Zifeng replied with confidence. He knew that Zhou Heng did not believe his explanation, and he also knew that Zhou Heng knew that he knew this, but he still had to explain it in a cover-up manner. This was a procedural problem.
Zhou Heng has some authority in the electromechanical department. He doesn't speak very much, but he has strict requirements on work. He has a high professional level and rich experience. It is almost impossible for his subordinates to fool him, so most people are a little afraid of him. Tang Zifeng once made an evaluation of Zhou Heng, called "My Brother Zhou in society, he doesn't talk much." He communicated this with several colleagues in private and won the unanimous recognition of his colleagues.
Tang Zifeng is one of the few people in the field who is not afraid of Zhou Heng. He knew that although Zhou Heng had a bad temper, he was not unreasonable, and he always respected people who were stronger than him. When Tang Zifeng first arrived at the Department of Mechanical and Electrical, Zhou Heng had taken some questions about his industry management. With his academic foundation in school and his 30 years of experience beyond the times, Tang Zifeng answered very well every time, which made Zhou Heng amazed.
After several confrontations, Zhou Heng's attitude towards Tang Zifeng changed. Although his face still looked like he was not soaked in oil, Tang Zifeng could see that this little old man admired him quite a bit, and even felt a little intimate about his father-in-law's son-in-law. Well, it is said that Zhou Heng did have a little daughter.
"I asked you to write the national machine tool industry analysis report the day before yesterday. Have you finished writing it?" Zhou Heng gave up the idea of asking Tang Zifeng for guilt and began to talk about serious matters.
"I've basically finished writing it, and I'll just add two more data. Director, if you want it now, I'll bring it to you right away." Tang Zifeng said.
Zhou Heng nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his face that he didn't even notice. Tang Zifeng did not discredit his own education. Every time he asked him to write a report, he could always complete it quickly and well, and he would often have some new ideas and new ideas, which made people know that this was not what he had cut from other places, but was carefully considered. Xie Tiancheng arranged for Zhou Heng to be the factory director of the machine, but Zhou Heng didn't want to take anyone, but specifically proposed to take Tang Zifeng with him. In fact, this is the reason.
"What do you know about Linhe No. 1 Machine Tool Factory?" Zhou Heng asked bluntly.
"Linhe No. 1 Machine Tool Factory?" Tang Zifeng hesitated for a moment, not knowing why Zhou Heng asked about this company alone. However, when the leader asked, he had to answer seriously. He thought for a few seconds, organized the language and replied:
"Linhe No. 1 Machine Tool Factory, commonly known as Linyi Machinery, is located in Linhe City, Dongye Province. Linyi Machinery was established in 1933. It was originally a Linhe Agricultural Machinery Factory under the Resources Committee of the National Government. It mainly produces some simple agricultural tools and engages in the maintenance of imported agricultural machinery. After the founding of New China, Linhe Agricultural Machinery Factory was taken over by the Linhe Military Management Committee and changed to Linhe Machinery Factory. In 1953, Linhe Machinery Factory was transferred to the Second Bureau of the First Machinery Department and was renamed Linhe First Machinery Factory. Using the technology provided by the Soviet Union, it produced the "Changying Brand" horizontal lathe, gantry milling and boring machine and precision grinder. It is one of the eighteen Arhat factories in our country's machine tool industry."
The concept of Eighteen Arhat Factory refers to the 18 state-owned machine tool backbone enterprises formed through new construction, reconstruction and expansion at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. These enterprises basically formed the main framework of the machine tool industry in New China. Later, for the needs of combat readiness and other aspects, part of Eighteen Arhat Factory was split, shifted its main production capacity to the western region, and established a new machine tool factory, and the production capacity of the original factory was affected accordingly. In addition, various ministries and commissions and regions also established some new machine tool enterprises as needed, and some enterprises' technical level and production capacity were no less than Eighteen Arhat Factory. In this way, Eighteen Arhat Factory was no longer the only backbone in the machine tool industry, and by the 1990s, few people would remember this statement.
However, the Eighteen Arhat Factory was managed by the Second Bureau of the First Machinery Department. The Eighteen Arhat was first proposed by Xu Zhaojian, the old director of the Second Bureau. By the way, Xu Zhaojian has already retired, but it has a great influence in the Second Bureau. Zhou Heng was Xu Zhaojian's secretary in his early years and was considered to be Xu Lao's iron-core confidant.
In the eyes of the leaders of the Second Bureau, the Eighteen Arhat Factory is the legitimate son of the Second Bureau. As for other machine tool factories, some are common people, some are adopted, and more are "other people's children". Their relationships are definitely much worse.
"How much do you know about Linyiji's current situation?" Zhou Heng continued to ask.
"The original fixed assets of Linyi Machinery are now worth 200 million yuan, with a current value of about 100 million yuan. It covers an area of 900,000 square meters, with 6,800 employees and 1,200 retired employees. It has more than 1,600 main production equipment. In 1992, sales revenue was 70 million yuan, and the net loss was about 15 million yuan. The data in 1993..., I didn't have time to read it." Tang Zifeng replied.
After traveling through time, he found that his memory was extremely good and he could remember a lot of data. He didn't know whether the innate talent left by his ex-boy Tang Zifeng or the benefits given to him by black technology.
Zhou Heng nodded again. Tang Zifeng's answer was very accurate. As a college student who had just worked in the department for two years, it was really rare to be able to grasp the situation in the industry to this level.
"What do you think about the current serious losses of Linyi Machinery?" Zhou Heng decided to take a good test for Tang Zifeng.
Tang Zifeng hesitated for a moment, his eyes rolled around, and his expression clearly implied something. Zhou Heng was both angry and funny, pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Sit down and talk."
Tang Zifeng sat down without even a second, but fortunately he took off his casual suit and began to talk verbally:
"The loss of Xinyi Machinery is not surprising. According to statistics, the loss of the national machine tool industry in 1993 was as high as 60%. Half of the Eighteen Luohan Factory fell into serious losses, and many of the remaining ones were also dogs... Oh no, it was difficult for the factory to be born, and it was just a short time before the loss."
Zhou Heng had already taken out the cigarette and lit it. He was not too addicted to cigarettes. When he listened to Tang Zifeng's words, he had to have something in his hand, otherwise he would like to give this kid a few strokes on his face in a minute. He discussed the business issues with him very thoroughly, so why did he have so many jokes in his mouth?
"The losses of so many machine tool companies are all based on external factors and internal factors. In terms of external factors, one is that the country cancels the directive plan and cancels the material department last year. Our machine tool companies are accustomed to production according to the national plan. Now without the plan, they naturally don't know how to survive. The second is that in order to reopen the customs negotiations, the country has greatly reduced the tariffs on imported machine tools. The imported machine tools have had a strong impact on the market for domestic machine tools. The machine tools produced by our companies were originally the emperor's daughter who had no worries about marrying, they were ugly and had a big temper. Now a large number of beauties came from abroad, who were pretty and had a dowry. Which prince would marry a domestic princess if he was blind."
Tang Zifeng had no awareness of restraining his mind. He seemed to be back at the time when he was carrying a project plan for a roadshow before traveling through time. In the field where you brag without taxes, how could you attract the attention of venture capital without saying a few shocking words?
Zhou Heng's teeth are almost broken. I admit that you are right and summarized very well, but why do I just want to slap you twice in the face?
Don’t be angry, I won’t be angry! When I wait for a moment, I have plenty of time to deal with you, a stinky brat!
