Xihai Sugar Factory is a pillar enterprise in Xihai County. The factory, which was founded in the 1950s, has been the only sugar factory in the county and surrounding areas for decades. The factory subsequently assisted in building several sugar factories, which are like a big brother.

After entering the 1990s, the bell of reform rang. Due to many reasons, the Xihai Sugar Factory was getting worse and worse. When it tried to save itself for the last time, it introduced several imported equipment, but unexpectedly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Due to changes in the international environment, Xihai Sugar Factory was unable to bear the high maintenance costs, and the equipment introduced was unable to operate due to huge amounts of money. It had to close multiple production lines, leaving only one production line to survive.

As the crusher on the last production line failed, the Xihai Sugar Factory was completely shut down and exited the stage of history.

Although there are many reasons for the final bankruptcy and liquidation of the Xihai Sugar Factory, Yao Yuan knows that spending huge amounts of money to introduce imported machinery and equipment is definitely one of the important reasons.

He rode to the pile yard in one breath. At the entrance of the factory, trucks filled with sugar cane lined up in a long queue, and the pile yard was also full. The crane shift stopped working. Workers wearing rattan safety helmets gathered together in groups of three or five, chatting, all waiting for the crusher in the press workshop to resume operation.

Crushing is the first process, and there is no way to talk about the crusher if it is not repaired well.

It can be said that all the employees of the factory have been like ants on a hot pan these days.

After putting down the bicycle, Yao Yuan rushed straight into the workshop. He looked up and saw a group of people surrounding the crusher. The huge workshop was surprisingly quiet.

Yao Zhenhua has worked in the workshop for more than 20 years and has always given people the impression of being an honest and ordinary employee, taciturn, and few people care about him.

Until his son made a big splash and got admitted to college.

The employees and leaders in the factory noticed Yao Zhenhua and even drank Yao Yuan's wine for further study.

And hello, after graduation in the future, he should give priority to returning to the factory to work and take over.

In state-owned enterprises, it is a routine operation that the father retires and his son fills the vacant position, and is also nicknamed "hereditary".

Therefore, the phenomenon of "nepotism" was common in state-owned enterprises factories in the 1990s.

My father was in the first workshop and my mother was in the second workshop. When she went to the cafeteria, she found that he was in charge of the uncle.

...

In the workshop, many people were surrounding a device, frowning.

Yao Yuan also surrounded him and looked at the equipment that made the entire factory worry from afar through the crowd.

After watching it, Yao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. This crusher was a new model produced by German Mance Company in 1988. Its performance is twice that of current domestic equipment. The body vibration amplitude is small and the efficiency is high.

It was not until 2010 that this product was eliminated by the domestic market.

It is not very difficult to repair the components of the body for him.

But for sugar factory technicians, it is a difficult gap.

"Technique Chen, what is the problem? Are you not a college student? Why can't you even understand the instructions?" Angry scolding came from the crowd, which was the voice of the factory director Wang Jianguo.

The line has been shut down for five days, and Wang Jianguo is very anxious.

The middle-aged man named Chen Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Wang Chang, I am a college student of workers, peasants and soldiers, just this little ink. And this is German. I can understand some English, but German..."

Wang Jianguo was so anxious that his lips were bubbling. "Hurry up and find a way to solve it! The last production line is here! If the crusher is not repaired properly, this pressing season will be over! Everyone will be hungry!"

Suddenly, there was a riot among the employees. Some pointed at Chen Zhi's nose and scolded him, some complained to Wang Jianguo, and more were frowning but helplessly said nothing.

They are all honest workers, and they can only hold them in their hearts if they are angry.

The pressing season has just started, and just a few days ago, a crusher on the production line has failed and stopped. All the technicians in the factory can't find any problems, let alone repair them.

Liu Yitang, director of the pressing workshop, hurried over, "Wangchang! Wangchang! Mans Company has called back!"

"What do you mean?" Wang Jianguo immediately raised hope.

The crowd parted, Liu Yitang ran in, and Yao Yuan, who was beside him, took the opportunity to squeeze to Wang Jianguo. He listened silently and looked at Liu Yitang deeply.

Liu Yitang wiped his sweat and said with a worried look, "They offered a repair fee of 100,000 yuan, and the technicians would give each person a business trip subsidy of 1,000 yuan a day during their stay in our factory."

"Are they crazy?" Wang Jianguo's eyes were about to pop out, his nose was crooked in anger.

When the employees heard this, there was another riot

"It's too much for the foreign devils! I dare to ask for 100,000 yuan in repair fees!"

"What does business trip subsidy have to do with us? Even if it is supplemented, it would be good to give it more than ten or twenty yuan! Why don't you grab it if you want one thousand yuan?"

Yao Yuan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh. He was so helpless when he was controlled by others. Even if he asked for a price, he couldn't help.

There are even more excessive things. Some Japanese companies set traps in contracts to keep the price of equipment very low. After grabbing the order, if you think you have bought a cost-effective equipment, you are very wrong. They will cause you to bleed through later maintenance and other after-sales services.

Wang Jianguo stared at the eyes and said, "They asked for a lot of money and you will pay it back locally! If I had 100,000 yuan, I would buy a few domestic ones immediately and change them. I was still anxious to get angry!"

"I paid it back, but they didn't let it go. We didn't buy the equipment when we bought it... it was the after-sales service, so the maintenance fee would be very high." Liu Yitang said aggrievedly.

Wang Jianguo was so angry that he walked out, "I don't need them anymore. I'll go on TV and post it on the newspaper! I just said that our factory recruits maintenance technicians from the city and give 1,000 yuan of equipment after repairing it!"

"Wang Factory, do you really give 1,000 to repair the equipment?"

A voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"who?"

Everyone looked at the sound and saw Yao Zhenhua's son Yao Yuan.

Many people know the top scholar in the county who took the college entrance examination this year, but Wang Jianguo only knows his name but not his person.

Yao Yuan walked out and continued, "Wangchang, will you give me one thousand yuan after repairing it?"

At this time, Yao Zhenhua had arrived. When he heard this sentence from afar, he felt nervous and suddenly had no idea and could only worry.

Wang Jianguo looked up and down at Yao Yuan. The child was wearing a vest, shorts and slippers. He probably just got up and recognized him. "Zhenhua's son? Well? Are you the top scholar who was admitted to the University of Technology?"

"Yes, Wang Chang, I am a mechanical student. I think I can give it a try." Yao Yuan said with a smile.

Wang Jianguo had to pay attention. This child was the only college student among the children of all the workers in the factory. He was the top student in the college entrance examination in this county and did a good job in his studies, but if he wanted to say that he could repair German equipment, Wang Jianguo would not believe it anyway.

"You don't know how to do it. What should I do if the more serious the more you do it? Do you pay for it? Can you afford it? Your mother is still lying in the hospital waiting for money to treat the disease? What's your family paying for it?" Liu Yitang was very dissatisfied and rolled his eyes and sarcastically, "Leave quickly, don't cause trouble here. This is not a place where you, a little child, show off your power!"

Yao Yuan glanced at Liu Yitang. This person was considered an enemy of the Yao family. He was not good at behaving and used his power to engage in nepotism, accepted gifts and bribes, and deceived his superiors and subordinates.

Yao Yuan remembers very clearly that in order to get his brother-in-law to work in the sugar factory, Liu Yitang chose to attack the honest Yao Zhenhua. Yao Zhenhua, who worked diligently in the sugar factory for more than ten years, became a wait-to-worker.

The most important thing is that Yao Zhenhua, who was waiting for work, had to work as a porter in order to maintain his family's livelihood!

It can be said that when Yao Zhenhua fell disabled in the collapse of the black brick kiln, Liu Yitang was responsible!

This is not over yet. After the sugar factory was reorganized, Liu Yitang became the vice president in charge of finance. He was stuck with the medical expenses of Yao Zhenhua and his wife and did not reimburse him. In order not to cause trouble for his son, Yao Zhenhua and his wife forced themselves to go to the hospital for treatment, which delayed the best treatment time.
