14. Consequences of bragging
Zhang Nianfa did not want to beat Liu Wancheng. He was in his forties and had been a cadre for so many years. He was a furious child in his twenties and even beat him. That would be too terrible.
He looked at Liu Wancheng and sneered, "Little guy, don't be afraid, I won't beat you. Are you more capable than me if you don't brag about you? If you are like this, you don't have to go to the branch. If you really care about me, I dare not use you. As long as you are here, tell me how you can be better than me. I'm convinced and I'll let you go. I'll sign and agree to wherever you like, how about it?"
Liu Wancheng was too lazy to argue with him, and looked at the ceiling and said, "Why should I tell you, you are not my apprentice?" He still looked rebellious.
Zhang Nianfa sneered and said, "You are incompetent this time? You can brag, but you have to choose a place for me! I, the factory director's office, are you just going to break into a nonsense? If you don't tell me about being Chou Yin and Mao today, I will call the security department now and ask them to come and arrest you!"
Liu Wancheng was shocked by Zhang Nianfa. For such a thing, Zhang Nianfa is worth calling the security department’s people to come over. Who are you scaring?
He said stubbornly: "I haven't broken the law, what power do you have to arrest me?"
Zhang Nianfa sneered: "Where do you think this is? This is the office of the branch factory! You broke in without authorization and said a lot of words insulting me, the branch factory director. Does this affect my work? I, the factory director, cannot work normally, how can the branch factory produce? Do you think this affect the normal production of the factory? Do you deliberately make trouble? The security department will not be wronged at all!"
Liu Wancheng was stupid.
There are only him and Lao Zhang in the factory director's office, and there is not even a proof person. That's not that Lao Zhang said he was causing trouble or causing trouble? The Security Department must listen to Lao Zhang, and he will not listen to him Liu Wancheng. He is a student who has only been in the factory for more than a year. Who is the old man in the Security Department?
Besides, even if there is a third party in the house, he will still look to the factory director, and he will never look to him even if he dies!
Hey, now he really knows what bragging tax means!
In that era, Jiangshan Machinery Factory was like an independent kingdom, standing alone on the edge of the city. It had its own complete education system from kindergarten to high school, as well as its own complete systems such as business, housing, health, medical care, transportation, etc., and of course, it also includes the public security system. It was like a small independent country.
Let the factory security department arrest itself for disrupting normal production order and lock it up for a few days. This old Zhang will definitely be able to do it! If things really develop to that point, it will be enough for Liu Wancheng to have a drink!
Liu Wancheng has made many calculations, but he hasn't done it, and things will go to this point.
At that time, the people from the Security Department really dared to beat the people they were detained.
Not to mention beating him, even if he handcuffs him and handcuffs him to the legs of the table, and let him endure it for twenty-four hours, he would not be able to suffer that sin!
There are some things that beat people and torture people in the security department, and Liu Wancheng has heard many people talk about it.
Last year, a worker in the fourth branch factory had no work to do. He watched MAO films at home during holidays. He was asked to go out and was arrested by the security department. He was locked up in the confinement room for a day. He jumped from the window of the confinement room on the fourth floor that night. The person was not rescued. It is said that he was beaten by the security department and couldn't stand it and jumped to the building.
Although Liu Wancheng did not see this in person, he passed by the concrete floor below the security department and saw the marks after cleaning. Moreover, this incident was known to everyone in the entire Jiangshan Machinery Factory.
Seeing Zhang Nianfa walking towards the phone at his desk, Liu Wancheng thought that he had caused a big trouble today and couldn't help but feel scared.
Give in favor, go and ask Zhang Nianfa to admit his mistake? This guy has made him poor for half his life. Why? Even if I jump off a building, I can't ask you, Zhang!
Liu Wancheng pretended to be calm and sat back on Liu Yong's chair, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, I will start with the examples of this branch. Let's extend facts, examples, and theory, from shallow to deep, so that you can see what new ideas and new theories are!"
He planned to do his best and talk nonsense first to delay the time. Maybe after a long time, Lao Zhang's fire retreated and his rationality was restored, so he gave up the idea of notifying the security department?
But seeing that Lao Zhang's face turned pale, he didn't sit down, but stood by the table, staring at him with two eyes, without any intention of quenching the fire. He made Liu Wancheng so angry that he couldn't sit down.
"Let's talk about the gears made by the branch for the reducer factory first." Liu Wancheng gritted his teeth and began to speak in vernacular words.
"On average, the southern manufacturers can do it for 150 yuan per person, and it is very profitable. What about you? Two hundred yuan per person, you don't have a profit yet, it's just enough to pay workers' wages. If you can't control the management well, you can still pay! If you don't do it, there is no other work like this large batch of work, you can't pay workers' wages. You are doing it with tears in your eyes. I'm right?"
"But why can small factories in the south be so cheap and profitable? You can't figure it out, right? Today I'll let you understand."
"Let's talk about how we do it first. In order to ensure the gear is strong and durable, we chose alloy steel that is much more expensive than ordinary carbon steel. Cutting, forging, heat treatment, rough turning, marking, drilling, keyway opening, fine turning, milling teeth, and heat treatment. With just a bunch of processing processes, the cost can be controlled to less than 200. From this point of view, you, Director Zhang, is really a personal figure. Your ability is reflected here."
"But, do you know how the South does it? Use medium carbon steel directly and hot-roll molding to form the mold! How many processes will you save? I calculated it, they didn't even cost 50 yuan!"
"At this point, you will definitely say that they are just messing around. How can they ensure quality after doing this? Yes, they are not as good as ours, but their cost is low and the processing speed is more than ten times faster! If we hadn't bid 200 yuan, they could have lowered the price! If the reducer factory was also a state-owned enterprise like us, Liu Yong would eat and drink with them all day long and talk about personal relationships, they would not have given us this product."
"Have you ever thought about who is using the reducer now? Small private enterprises! They do not have state loans and have limited working capital, so they often pursue the most important things with the least amount of money. Buying equipment can save money at that time, and can be used for a period of time to produce and sell their products and exchange them for money. This is their purpose. If the gears of the reducer are broken, you can get the cheap ones immediately and replace them. They will not pay attention to the durability of the ones. As long as you make money, it doesn't matter if you don't have to hurt."
"This is why the same product is divided into low-end and high-end products. Judging from the current economic environment we are in, it is an era when private enterprises have just started and gradually become backbone forces in the market economy. Nowadays, private enterprises cannot pay attention to quality, but pursue low-end products that are cheap and available. Is your old state-owned enterprises pursuing absolute quality and following the rules unable to keep up with the development of the times?"
Zhang Nianfa is an expert in Jijia. What Liu Wancheng said means to make him suddenly enlightened.
But he didn't know that these were all the lessons he learned from after losing this product, and took Liu Wancheng to the south to visit other people's factories, and then summarized the experiences and lessons, which made Liu Wancheng use.
Liu Wancheng stayed here for twenty years, watching how this factory decline day by day. Twenty years of experience and lessons were profound and painful! After twenty years of experience and lessons, as a state-owned enterprise, he couldn't help but burst out with this beginning, like a flood, and it was out of control. Let's talk about it further, he was completely unconsciously venting his depression.
"How much contribution has the company made in its forty years? How much profit has it generated? What have these profits done? How many people have returned to the company? You have to feed it grass? So far, look at how much investment is there in the workshop? Why is it lagging behind? Our latest equipment is only 78 years ago. The RB-made cow head planer in the second workshop was actually from Showa fifteenth year. At that time, RB had not yet attacked Pearl Harbor!"
"Under such conditions, we must make full use of these equipment before the reform enters the deep waters, and our only capital will accumulate funds to make a comeback! Otherwise, we will sooner or later be eliminated by this era!"
"Can you turn the tables? Yes! It's still time! But if you continue to work with these concepts of the planned economy era, it's really too late!"
"You always emphasize that products should be of high quality and should not lose the face of state-owned enterprises. Can such old equipment produce high-precision, high-quality, and perfect products in your heart? Yes! But what about efficiency and benefits? The cost of processing a workpiece will be very different in ten minutes and one hour. If I don't say it, you should understand this! Why do our workers have no high wages? Time, time! They are all tiring about processing time! One step further improves the quality, and the cost will increase exponentially, right? Choosing a suitable processing product for your equipment and blindly pursuing high quality are two completely different concepts!"
"Why does the branch factory always have no profits? According to the characteristics of its own equipment, optimize the combination, rationally utilize equipment and labor, and strive to maximize efficiency. Only in this way can profits be generated, comrade! If you don't do this now, you will never have a chance in the future!"
"Let's talk about your marketing strategy. You always target state-owned enterprises in the same situation as ours, and look down on private enterprises that have developed like mushrooms after a rain. Little do you know that those state-owned enterprises make the same mistakes as us, with old ideas and cannot quickly integrate into the tide of the market economy. You eat me and I eat you all day long, you owe me and I owe you, and miss the old times. Triangle debt is a disaster that we cannot bear!"
Liu Wancheng talked for more than an hour, and he described how Jiangshan Machinery Factory went from glory to decline little by little. He didn't even care when Zhang Nianfa sat back in his chair.
He was so sincere that he was told by himself. When he realized that he had said too much, more than an hour had passed.
