Material Empire

"This reason alone is not enough." Qin Hai pretended to be thinking, and said slowly.

"Not enough?" Zheng Bojia laughed, "I would like to ask Director Qin, how do you plan to solve the troubles you are encountering now?"

Qin Minghua had already received Qin Hai's instruction. He also put on a dull look and said, "Actually, these things are just a little troublesome. We can overcome them and solve them."

"Old Qin, don't be so stubborn. Didn't you go to the power supply station to give gifts last month? If they don't give you electricity, your factory will be closed?" Li Yiming asked with a smile.

Li Yiming's words were exactly in line with Zheng Bojia's intention. He smiled slightly, looked at Qin Minghua and Qin Hai, and waited for their rebuttal.

Qin Minghua blushed and said, "We have coordinated the power outage later. Those who give gifts or not give gifts are actually reciprocal. Director Shen also said that he will try his best to ensure power supply for us in the future."

Qin Hai secretly smiled in his heart, his father's expression was really well acted. In this way, Zheng Bojia and others will feel that Qin Minghua is ignorant of current affairs, and the focus of his consideration is still on giving gifts. His excuse is clearly to explain that giving gifts is not bribery, and he is also implying that he can use gifts. Solve the problem of power supply.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Minghua said the words, several yamen burst out laughing. Li Yiming danced and was about to educate Qin Minghua, but Zheng Bojia stopped him with his hand, and took over the conversation himself: "Director Qin, you haven't figured it out yet? Think about it, is Director Shen listening to you, or is he listening?" Director Li’s? If Director Li asks him to cut off the electricity, no matter how much gift you give, will he be able to power you?”

Li Yiming was very proud when Zheng Bojia mentioned his father, and then he said: "When my father makes a phone call, Shen Changping has to rush to my house. Lao Qin, do you think that gift is enough for you?" What is it for?"

"Your father is Director Li?" Qin Minghua seemed to know Li Yiming's identity at this time. In fact, when Li Yiming came to the factory for the first time, the workers told Qin Minghua about his background. Qin Minghua was just pretending to be stupid. That's all.

"Actually, I have always wanted to visit Director Li at your house. I don't know when he is usually at home." Qin Minghua said attentively.

"My dad won't see you." Li Yiming said decisively, "If Brother Zheng's business can't be done, what's the use of seeing my dad? Who cares that you send a few catties of eggs and a few fish?"

"Then what should we do so that Director Li is willing to see us?" Qin Hai humbly asked Li Yiming for advice.

Li Yiming pointed at Zheng Bojia: "Didn't Brother Zheng already make a debut for you? As long as the steel factory has us, your business is our business. Why do you still need to see my dad?"

"You want too much." Qin Hai shook his head, "Our factory has hundreds of thousands of dividends a year, and it's enough to buy a diesel engine. The power bureau can't stop our electricity all the time, right?"

"Yiming, tell me, can you keep turning off their electricity?" Zheng Bojia asked Li Yiming.

Li Yiming said sarcastically: "Qin Hai, let me tell you, as long as I am willing, it is possible for your factory not to call for a year. Circuit maintenance, understand? I guarantee that it will not be repaired until next year."

"I still don't believe it." Qin Hai said as if angry: "I use the money to buy diesel and generate electricity myself. I don't believe that the power bureau dares to stop the electricity of our factory for a year."

"Xiao Hai, don't say that..." Qin Minghua hurriedly stopped Qin Hai.

The affectation of the father and son, in the eyes of Zheng Bojia and others, is a timid father competing with a rebellious child, but the father is still a little afraid of the child, as if the child can be the master of the house. Qin Hai's age served as a very good cover, making Zheng Bojia feel that his behavior couldn't be more normal.

"Okay, have ambition!" Zheng Bojia patted his hands lightly twice, and said, "You can generate electricity yourself, but what about water? There are also business, taxation, environmental protection, and sanitation. Can you solve these problems? Qin Hai, listen It is said that you have two talents in technology, so you probably don't know anything about running a factory, right? Director Qin, you don't want to teach your son?"

Qin Minghua said in embarrassment: "Uh...Xiao Zheng, don't be surprised, this matter is really a bit big, we have to think about it again. In fact, the operation of the steel plant is not as good as you think. The 100,000 is just a gross profit, and after deducting some miscellaneous things, there is not much left. The money we used to transform the equipment was borrowed from relatives, and we haven't paid it back yet."

"Director Qin, let's keep your words to lie to ghosts. We are here for the second time today. You want us to see your son, and we have seen it too. Can you please give me a good word." Zheng Bojia With a low face, he issued an ultimatum.

"According to your conditions, no." Qin Hai looked at Zheng Bojia and said firmly.

"Director Qin, do you have the same opinion?" Zheng Bojia asked Qin Minghua.

Qin Minghua looked at Qin Hai's face hesitantly, then looked back at Zheng Bojia, and murmured, "This matter... can I let my family discuss it again."

"You guys discuss it, but my patience is limited." Zheng Bojia stood up vigorously, and said to Li Yiming and others: "Let's go, yes, Yiming, after returning home, first turn off the power to the steel plant. Let them be idle, so that they have time to discuss. When the discussion comes to a conclusion, when will we send them the electricity again."

"Okay, but if this result doesn't satisfy us, Brother Zheng, why don't we let them discuss it?" Li Yiming proudly showed off his cleverness.

"Haha, I think Director Qin knows the current affairs." Zheng Bojia laughed, and then walked away with all his followers. After a while, the sound of the pickup truck's engine starting came from downstairs. The driver of the car honked his horn and opened the factory door from the office building. The harsh sound echoed in the factory area for a long time.

Qin Hai and Qin Minghua stood at the window, watching the car of Zheng Bojia and his party driving away, Qin Hai had a contemptuous smile on his face, Qin Minghua was a little uneasy, he said: "Xiao Hai, we are talking to death now, I guess they There will be retaliation immediately, and then various departments will come to trouble us, and they will definitely be heavy handed."

"Dad, don't worry, at worst, let's not run this factory, and build another factory elsewhere. The real value in the factory is these steel formulas, so what if I throw away these equipment?" Qin Hai said indifferently.

Qin Minghua looked at the entire factory area, sighed, and said, "Oh, I'm still a little bit reluctant to make it so hard. The equipment can be transported away, but the factories and dormitories we built are all thrown away. , It also cost hundreds of thousands."

Qin Hai comforted: "It's okay, haven't we already agreed? Now we want to force them to make a move. As long as they make a move, we will have a solution. It's nothing serious to cut off water and electricity. Let's take a few days off. The workers are paid full wages, and it would be nice to let them all take a vacation."

"That's the only way to go." Qin Minghua nodded emphatically.

The revenge of Zheng Bojia and others came faster than expected. Less than half an hour after they left, the electricity in the steel plant was cut off. Qin Minghua had anticipated this in advance and ordered the workshop to stop production in advance, so the power outage did not cause any unnecessary losses.

Immediately afterwards, the supply of tap water was also cut off. Qin Minghua picked up the phone and was about to ask the water company, but found that the phone had also been cut off and he couldn't make a call. It seems that Zheng Bojia deliberately wanted to show his strength to the Qin family and his son, and used all the methods he could think of.

The next day, more sanctions were imposed. As Zheng Bojia said, the departments of industry and commerce, taxation, health, environmental protection, fire protection, etc. went to the steel plant like a stream, fully carried forward the spirit of picking bones in the egg, and made a fuss about any problem in the steel plant. Posted all over the place. The management personnel of the power supply station and the water company seemed worried that they would not be able to grab the camera, so they came to the factory one after another, ran over to show their faces, and said some suggestive words to Qin Minghua, advising him not to have illusions.

Qin Minghua gave a warm reception to all those who came to inspect or demonstrate. He was originally an honest farmer, so it was very easy to pretend to be pitiful and honest. Since the iron and steel factory has actually been filial to all departments in the past, these people who came to handle the affairs were not too embarrassed, but said tactfully: the iron and steel factory has offended someone, you should find a way to find a way out quickly. As for us, we are only entrusted by others, but if others don't let you go, there is nothing we can do.

The overwhelming sanctions brought the production of the iron and steel plant to a complete standstill. Qin Minghua gave the workers a holiday, allowing them to stay at home with peace of mind, and promised that wages and bonuses would not be less. As for Qin Hai's family, their life in the factory has not been affected. The daily lighting is supplied by diesel generators, and Qin Hai drives a car from Qingfeng Factory for water. As the second generation of officials, Zheng Bojia and his party dare not use any evil forces, so the safety of Qin Hai's family can be guaranteed.

For Zheng Bojia and others, how Qin Hai's family lives is not the focus of their attention. Their confidence lies in the belief that Qin Hai cannot bear the loss caused by stopping production. They believed that Qin Hai could carry it for a few days, but it was impossible to carry it like this forever, because it would mean that the steel factory would be closed.

They didn't know that before deciding to confront them, Qin Hai had already transferred part of the production tasks of Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant to Beixi No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant. There is also an electric furnace over there. As long as the alloy materials are transported there, special steel products that meet export needs can be smelted without delaying the supply to Spain.

With this arrangement, Qin Hai will be able to engage in a protracted battle with Zheng Bojia and others.
