Material Empire

Chai Peide's on-site office was originally Ning Zhongying's office. At the beginning, he could have a little leisure time to talk with Ning Zhongying about a game and learn about chess skills. It didn't take long for complainants to start knocking at the door. Later, more and more people came, and the office was crowded. Ning Zhongying had no choice but to ask Chen Rongkun to open the factory conference room and let Chai Peide meet everyone in the conference room.

"Mayor Chai, I want to ask, do we still talk about the national game of chess?"

"The way Qingfeng Factory treats us like idiots, it's Hongguoguo's exploiting brother company!"

"Mayor Chai, we are responding to the call of the city government to participate in the bidding. What Qingfeng Factory did is really chilling!"

"Mayor Chai..."

Facing the turbulent discussion, Ning Zhongying sat firmly in the corner of the conference room without changing his expression. He had foreseen this situation a long time ago. After all, everyone was mixed under the planning system and was extremely uncomfortable with this market-oriented distribution method. In fact, when Ning Zhongying first designed the bidding plan, he also hesitated, thinking about whether to give more shares to the cooperative unit. But Qin Hai firmly told him that knowledge itself is also valuable, and the cooperative units should see the value of knowledge. If these collaborative units are willing to invest funds to develop their own technology while salivating, wouldn't that be able to play a positive role in promoting the technological progress of the entire country?

Qin Hai's reason was somewhat far-fetched, but Ning Zhongying finally followed this suggestion and controlled the income of the cooperative enterprise at the average profit level, and the remaining excess profits were unceremoniously kept in Qingfeng Factory's pocket .

It is reasonable for Qingfeng Factory to do this. Qingfeng Factory has invested huge sums of money in building a laboratory and assumed the risk of experimental failure. Why shouldn't it get a huge profit? If other companies are jealous, they can also do technical research on their own. There are still many products that are being tendered by the Pusang Localization Office. These companies don't have to stare at the dishes on the plate of Qingfeng Factory.

With this in mind, Ning Zhongying resolutely stood on the opposite side of all cooperative enterprises, waiting for the coming storm. Regarding this point, he also reported to Chapeide in advance, and Chapeide only smiled wryly, but did not stop him.

Hearing the unanimous condemnation of the crowd, Chai Peide waved his hands, signaling everyone to be calm and speak one by one. Everyone was counting on Chai Peide to come out and "uphold justice." Of course, they would not listen to Chai Peide's words, so they found seats and began to recommend representatives to complain to Chai Peide.

"Mayor Chai, we called Pujiang to find out that the price given by the localization office for a door hinge was 38 yuan, but the price given to us by Qingfeng Factory was only 18 yuan. Theirs The reason is that the hinges need to be heat treated by them in the end. I don’t understand, why do you need to charge 20 yuan for a heat treatment?” Cao Ruida, the production section chief of Ganqiao County Hardware Tools Factory, complained to Chaipide with a full stomach.

Chai Peide raised his eyes to look at Ning Zhongying, who was sitting far away, and shouted with a smile: "Director Ning, what do you think about this question from Section Chief Cao?"

Ning Zhongying chuckled and said, "If Section Chief Cao thinks it's unfair, we can change it. We will do the machining of the hinges, and Gan Wugong will do the heat treatment. Finally, Gan Wugong will deliver the goods to the localization office. Cao Ke How do you feel?"

"Director Ning, are you kidding..." Cao Ruida was about to say the word hooliganism, but when the words came to his lips, he quickly put it back. After holding back for a long time, he changed a word and said, "Aren't you Is it difficult to be strong, you know that we have not mastered the last heat treatment process, but you use this technical advantage to block us, is this too bullying?"

"We bully people?" Ning Zhongying stood up, staring and said, "Ask Mayor Chai, how much money we invested in building the materials laboratory. Why didn't any of you think about it when we invested the money?" Are you going to help?"

"Mayor Chai, what kind of laboratory did Director Ning and the others build?" Several directors who were closer to Chai Peide asked in a low voice.

Chai Peide nodded, and said in a voice that could be heard by everyone in the room: "I am here to prove for Qingfeng Factory that in order to overcome the technical difficulties in the localization of Pusang car parts, Qingfeng Factory borrowed 2 million yuan from the bank. For the construction of the laboratory, all the money was mortgaged by Qingfeng Factory with its own assets."

"2 million!" Everyone was shocked. In those days, building a three-story dormitory building cost only a few hundred thousand yuan. Every enterprise had its own laboratories and laboratories, but few invested more than 200,000 yuan. Qingfeng factory invested 2 million yuan to build a laboratory without seeing any real benefits. This is definitely a desperate move. Everyone turned their heads to look at Ning Zhongying, with the same thoughts in their hearts:

This old guy is really crazy!

Ning Zhongying could see their thoughts from the performance of the crowd. He sneered and said, "If you don't believe me, you might as well go to our laboratory with me. Don't you dislike the cooperation given by Qingfeng Factory?" Is the price too low? If you are willing to cover the cost of equipment and experimental materials in our laboratory, I can raise the price for you.”

Everyone was overwhelmed by Ning Zhongying's words and didn't know what to say for a moment. Wei Rongping coughed, stood up, and said, "Why don't you go and take a look with Director Ning, and learn from Qingfeng Factory's spirit of climbing the peak of science and technology. It's also good."

"That's right, let's go to visit and learn." Everyone quickly agreed, and they all realized that this is a good way to break the embarrassment, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

Under the leadership of Ning Zhongying, a group of people left the office building and walked to the workshop. Chai Peide also walked with the crowd, exchanging ideas with some business leaders during the time on the road, persuading them to let go of extreme ideas and sincerely cooperate with Qingfeng Factory.

After walking for about ten minutes, a group of people came to the big bamboo shed that was used as a laboratory. Wei Rongping grabbed Ning Zhongying and asked, "Lao Ning, is this the laboratory you spent 2 million to build?"

"Why, look down on me?" Ning Zhongying asked angrily.

"No, no, I just think... a bit crude." Wei Rongping said.

Ning Zhongying said: "Two million yuan is not enough money to build a laboratory. We have no choice but to use the good steel for the cutting edge and buy equipment and materials with all the money. The construction aspect is owed first. I'm just counting on some benefits from this bidding collaboration, at least to build the experimental building first."

"Hehe, there will definitely be benefits." Wei Rong said with a flat smile.

While talking, everyone has already entered the bamboo shed under the guidance of the staff. As soon as they entered, the scorn and suspicion in everyone's hearts were thrown into the sky. Experts look at the doorway, and laymen watch the excitement. Although these business leaders are not from a professional background, they have been in the factory for many years anyway, so they can't see the quality of things. Looking at the nameplates written in foreign languages ​​on each piece of equipment, everyone knows that the investment of 2 million yuan is really not a penny wasted.

"This is Professor Li Linguang from Anhe Institute of Technology." Ning Zhongying invited Li Linguang who was doing an experiment and introduced him to everyone.

"Everyone is here to visit, right? It's okay to visit, but don't touch around. Some equipment is very precise. If you touch it with sweaty hands, the accuracy will be affected." Li Linguang is straightforward on technical issues. But it doesn't matter what kind of guests these people are.

"Wow, there is actually a Bruker spectrometer here. This one seems to cost more than 30,000 yuan?" Qi Keqin couldn't move his legs when standing in front of a spectrometer. He had wanted to buy such a spectrometer for a long time, but it cost more than 30,000 yuan for a small gadget, and it was impossible for the factory to approve it. Unexpectedly, Qingfeng Factory would be able to buy the next one.

Li Linguang walked over and said proudly: "This spectrometer is the latest product of Bruker, and it costs 38,000 yuan to buy a complete set. Alas, such a good equipment, even our engineering school does not have it, so it is for this spectrometer. Equipment, I am willing to work for Qingfeng Factory Baigan."

"Professor Li, I have heard of your name. I would like to ask, if Wanye Machinery Factory plans to develop its own technology, can you be our technical consultant?" Qi Keqin asked in a low voice. It is naturally not convenient to speak out loud about things in the corner.

Li Linguang nodded his head as a matter of course, and said, "There's nothing wrong with that, it's also our duty to serve enterprises."

"Then... can you help us produce the crafts that Qingfeng Factory is producing now?" Qi Keqin asked in surprise.

Li Linguang said: "In theory, it is possible, but you need to meet two conditions."

"What conditions?" Qi Keqin asked.

Li Linguang said: "The first condition is that you must also have such a laboratory, at least the equipment involved must be owned."

"Well..." Qi Keqin lost his confidence, "I think, if it can bring profits to our factory, our factory manager Wei should support it."

"The first condition is fairly simple, but the second condition is a bit more troublesome." Li Linguang smiled.

"Professor Li, just say, no matter what the conditions are, we will find a way to solve it." Qi Keqin said.

Li Linguang pointed to Qin Hai, who was talking with several visitors not far away, and said: "You still need to have a technical school student like Xiao Qin from Qingfeng Factory who is familiar with international material trends. You can solve this problem." ?"
