Chapter Ninety-Six: Trouble Comes

"Uncle Zhong, you are an ideal and ambitious worker with a deep interest and affection for the heavy industry industry."

Li Yi's opening made Zhong Da, who was in his forties, smile, and after laughing, he looked pensive.

"Uncle Zhong, you have been immersed in heavy machinery for more than 20 years, and in heavy machinery manufacturing, you have profound management experience and superb jishu, but unfortunately, Haihua's world is too small, and if you go on like this, your future in this life will stop at the level of senior engineers, and you can be promoted to a workshop director if you are in the sky. Because of your upright and unskilled personality, you are destined not to enter the senior management of Haihua. Then, no matter how well and big the grand plan in your heart is depicted, there is no chance of realizing it. ”

Zhong Da was reclining on the sofa, but at this time he couldn't help but sit upright, rubbing his hands together. Obviously, some of Li Yi's words hit the soft spot in his heart.

Next, let's talk about Haihua excavator factory. Haihua Excavator Factory is an old brand of heavy industry, but its vitality is inversely proportional to its age. If my expectations are correct, it began to decline a few years ago, and now Haihua is in a half-dead state. ”

Zhong Da frowned: "Young man, you see the problem very thoroughly!" ”

Li Yi smiled: "Actually, Uncle Zhong, you can see it more clearly than me, but you just don't want to admit it." I believe that you middle-level cadres should have discussed in private that if Haihua were handed over to you, it would definitely not be like this. ”

Zhong Da's eyes suddenly glowed, this young man actually guessed these!

Li Yi said: "This is the sadness and helplessness of state-owned small and medium-sized enterprises, those who have the ability may not be able to ascend, and those who are superior may not be capable." At present, most of Haihua's management are drillers in some officialdom, and letting them become officials can be left and right, but it is unsatisfactory for them to manage the enterprise. Uncle Zhong, don't you say? ”

Zhong Da did not comment, which involved comments on the leader, and his cautious nature determined that he would not be so reckless.

Li Yi smiled: "Haihua can only produce small and medium-sized ordinary models of excavators now, right?" ”

Zhong Dadao: "Well, mainly small, medium-sized excavators of more than 4 cubic meters are produced less, mainly small general-purpose excavators." The jishu of mining, marine, and special excavators is not mature enough. ”

Although Li Yi was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that the equipment of Haihua Excavator Factory was so backward, and he groaned: "Large foreign machinery companies, such as Komatsu, Volvo, Daewoo, Kobelco, Atlas and other large international companies, their Jishu is at least 30 years ahead of us. ”

Zhong Da sighed: "This kind of jishu, if it is imported alone, it will not work, first, people will not sell, and second, even if he is willing to sell, the price is sky-high!" A design drawing can sell for tens of millions of dollars! Our factory is a small business, where do we have spare money to buy their jishu? ”

Li Yi said: "Heavy machinery plays an immeasurable role in national production and economic construction. The era of building socialism with a mechanical single-bucket excavator has passed, and it does not meet the requirements of current economic development. ”

Zhong Da agreed: "Relying on our excavators, it is difficult to meet the increasingly high-speed construction speed, especially the excavation work of subways and tunnels, our excavators simply cannot adapt, and if we do not innovate, it is a matter of time before we are eliminated." I advise every day that I should innovate jishu and develop new products, but the people above not only don't listen, but they scold me for being nosy! Alas! ”

"If I want to set up a machine shop with the goal of building more advanced heavy machinery than those big factories, do you think it's feasible?" Li Yi saw Zhong Da open the conversation box and threw out the purpose of this trip.

"What?" Zhong Da thought he had heard it wrong: "You want to build a machine factory by yourself?" Child, it is good to have ideals, but you must not be unrealistic and delusional! ”

Zhong Xiu made tea for the two of them, sat on the side and listened quietly, and then laughed and said, "Dad, he has money!" At least I can afford to drive a car! ”

Zhong Da glared at her: "Rich? What does it mean to be rich? Young people really don't know how thick the sky is! Do you know how much an excavator costs? Do you know how much it costs to open an excavator factory? Speaking out scares you to death! Dare to say that you are rich with a dead salary of a few hundred dollars a month? It's really a good time to sit in a well and watch the sky! ”

Li Yi saw that he was talking interestingly, and said with a smile: "If money is not an issue, are you willing to resign and help me?" ”

Zhong Dadao: "What are you willing or not, when you really have that day, I will fight this old bone, and I will help you do a good job in the factory!" ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "As I said earlier, I have an uncle, he is doing business in the United States, he has a lot of money, and now he is interested in returning to China to invest in the industry, and he likes the domestic heavy industry, so he entrusts me to help him run errands in China and do liaison work." Now, on behalf of my uncle, I would like to send you a formal invitation to join the company we are about to build! ”

Zhong Da hesitated: "Aren't you joking? ”

Li Yi said: "Do you think I'm a joke person? ”

Zhong Dadao: "However, this is a little too sudden, and I can't reply for a while." ”

Li Yi smiled: "Don't worry, you think about it first." Just now, I even thought of the name of the company, which is called Sanjiang Heavy Industry! The financial resources are wide into the three rivers! Don't businessmen just want to make money? Uncle Zhong, what do you think? ”

"Well, that's a good name." Zhong Da smiled.

Li Yi said: "In view of Uncle Zhong's qualifications and talents, on behalf of my uncle, I am willing to pay an annual salary of 50,000 yuan and sincerely hire you as the first general manager of Sanjiang Heavy Industry." ”

"Fifty thousand?"

At this time, Chao Na was tempted, stabbed Zhong Da, and signaled him to agree quickly.

Zhong Da was still hesitating.

Li Yi took out a check from his satchel, filled it out awkwardly, and handed it to Zhong Da: "Uncle Zhong, here is 50,000 yuan, I will pay the first year's salary in full at one time, and the bonus and dividends will be calculated separately." Now, as long as you take this check, you will be the first general manager of Sanjiang Heavy Industry! ”

Zhong Da took the check as if he didn't believe it, looked at it carefully, and pushed it back to Li Yi, like pushing a hot potato, his hands trembled a little: "No, you can't ask for it!" ”

Li Yi held the check tightly with his hand and said with a smile: "This is your reward, and you deserve it!" Because next, you're going to be hired by me to do things for me. Unless, you go back on your word and are unwilling to help the juniors. ”

Zhong Da said with some pain: "Li Yi, to be honest, the annual salary of 50,000 yuan is still very attractive to me, I still have two sons in school, one is in college, and the other is in secondary school, both of whom want money to spend, and I also need money." Of course, I am also willing to help you, go to your factory to do things, it doesn't matter if you are not a general manager. The problem is, I'm a little worried! ”

Li Yi asked, "What are your concerns?" Are you still afraid that your factory leaders will retaliate against you? Isn't it fashionable to go to the sea these days! ”

Zhong Da shook his head and said, "That's not it. I worked in Haihua for more than 20 years, when I went in, I was still a teenager, and I was brought up by my master, until today, to be honest, I have a continuous affection for Haihua. What's more, over the years, I have met a group of brothers and brought a group of apprentices. Now I pat my ass and enjoy a high-paying high position, but I left them to suffer in Haihua, how can I bear it? ”

“haha!” Li Yi smiled: "What should I do!" Uncle Zhong, I was about to tell you this, at the beginning of the establishment of Sanjiang Heavy Industry, there was an urgent need for talents, as long as it was someone you could bring over, we would accept them all! Besides, Haihua will not be able to support it for a few years if it continues to mess around like this, and by that time, we Sanjiang has also grown up, if you still think about Haihua, you can buy it at any time! ”

Zhong Da smoked a cigarette and smoked hard, as if he was making a decision to zuihou.

Li Yi didn't urge him, took a sip of the teacup, and smiled at Zhong Xiu: "The tea is good!" ”

Zhong Xiu smiled: "I took out my dad's treasures for many years!" ”

Zhong Da asked: "Let me ask you, you and I don't know each other, you help me like this?" As he spoke, his eyes lingered on his daughter. I thought to myself, isn't your kid beating my baby daughter's idea?

Zhong Xiu said a little embarrassed: "Dad, don't look at me like that, this matter has nothing to do with me!" He and I are really friends. ”

Li Yi smiled: "Without him, because I also need your help!" In fact, I have always paid attention to the relevant talents in the province, and I also have a considerable understanding of Uncle Zhong, otherwise, I can be so presumptuous? As for you being Jong-so's father, it's really a coincidence. ”

Li Yi's reason dispelled Zhong Dazuihou's concerns, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, picked up the check, and said with a smile: "Then do it!" ”

The two looked at each other.

Next, Li Yi discussed some specific details with him, including the location of the factory, construction, recruitment and production, and many other trivial matters. The two chatted for most of the day, had lunch and dinner at Zhong's house, and continued to chat.

Zhong Da is an ambitious person, in his forties, it is the age when a man can explode the most when he matures, and the blueprint that he has built in his heart for many years finally has the power to use force, and he is tireless in talking about it.

After discussing until late at night, the two made an appointment again, and invited several other friends of Zhong Da to invite them to come and plan together, and then they dispersed.

When Li Yi said goodbye to the Zhong family and drove back to the dormitory, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the brick-like big brother at the head of the bed ringing all the time, Li Yi thought this thing was cumbersome, and he usually didn't take it with him when he went out for a short time. I wanted to come back today after sending Guo Xiaotian back, but I didn't expect to meet Zhong Da because of Zhong Xiu, so I was delayed for a day.

Li Yi picked up the phone, answered it, and as soon as he fed it, he heard a deliberately suppressed panicked voice and said, "Section Chief Li, why did you answer the phone!" I'm in a hurry! ”

Li Yi thought about it, and then heard that this was Tan Jingyi's voice, and he felt a little disgusted in his heart, and said, "Talk? It's so late, what are you calling me for? ”
