Commissioner Zhao, whose real name is Zhao Hongtao, is a factory worker at Wujiao Chemical Company in Jiebei City. He only took over the job of Lao Sun, who had just retired, from the factory last month.

The so-called factory workers are purchasing representatives assigned to designated factories by large state-owned commercial enterprises. They were mostly seen from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s. They are similar to the later purchasing specialists, but their authority is much greater than that of purchasing specialists.

.

They are not only responsible for the product quality appraisal and grading of the production plants, but also control the distribution channels and distribution ratio of products to all parts of the country. They are also responsible for the settlement of purchases from designated factories. They can even represent the company to coordinate the bank's settlement of purchases at designated factories.

Factory loan disbursement.

Therefore, for designated factories, the status of factory workers is astonishingly high, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are even "imperial envoys".

However, the situation is different for the factory workers of Jiebei Wujiao Chemical Company who are stationed in the internal distribution plant. In recent years, not only have they not enjoyed the treatment of "imperial ministers" in the internal distribution plant, they have not even been treated well.

See.

As for the reason, it is very simple. That is, the price of the special slender bolts, the main product ordered by Wujiao Chemical Company from the internal parts factory, is too low, even lower than the production cost of the internal parts factory. As a result, every time the internal parts factory produces one

Special slender bolts still cost more than ten cents. In this case, how should the internal parts factory treat them?

If it weren't for the fact that the internal parts factory had never found a marketable product, and the bank loan required them to provide guarantee and coordination on behalf of Wujiao Chemical Company, the internal parts factory would have kicked them out long ago.

The reason why Lao Sun, the last factory worker of Wujiao Chemical Company who was stationed in the internal parts factory, chose to retire early has a lot to do with this.

Luo Daojun had worked as the deputy manager of the Municipal Agricultural Machinery Company for five or six years, and he was smooth and clever in his work. When he saw Zhao Hongtao coming over, even though he was not welcoming in his heart, he was still polite on the surface, and he smiled and asked Zhao Hongtao to take a seat.

Zhao Hongtao came with great ambitions, so he was not polite. After sitting down, he raised his glass directly to Luo Daojun: "Director Luo, I heard that the trial production of the 75-type air filter in our factory was successful. It is really gratifying and congratulatory! Come, I'll

Here’s to you!”

"Commissioner Zhao is really well informed!"

Luo Daojun smiled and raised his glass, "We just solved the problem. It hasn't even been an hour, and you already know it!"

"Director Luo, what you said is totally out of context!"

Zhao Hongtao also laughed, "As a factory specialist, I am always concerned about the development of our factory. How could I not know about such important good news?"

As he spoke, he clinked the wine glasses with Luo Daojun and drank the wine in one gulp.

Putting down his wine glass, Zhao Hongtao said again:

"Director Luo, I won't beat around the bush. In addition to congratulating you this time, there is one more thing I need to ask you about. After the 75-type air filter is put into production, will it not affect the production of special slender bolts?

"

Luo Daojun had long expected that Zhao Hongtao was here for this purpose. He nodded and said:

"Commissioner Zhao, to tell you the truth, even if you don't come to me today, I will go to you to discuss this issue. Judging from the current production capacity of our factory, once the 75-type air filter is officially put into production, I am afraid that it will not be able to take into account special needs."

The production of slender bolts has begun! So you should make preparations in advance and look for manufacturers that can produce special slender bolts."

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

Zhao Hongtao immediately became anxious, "Director Luo, our Wujiao Chemical Company has cooperated with your factory for nearly ten years. Special slender bolts have been produced in your factory. Once you stop production, I will suddenly be asked where to find new ones."

manufacturer?"

"Commissioner Zhao!"

Luo Daojun sighed, shook his head and said: "Nine years ago, our factory was selected by your company as the designated factory to cooperate in the production of special slender bolts. At that time, the average salary of our factory employees was only more than fifty yuan, and the raw materials for the production of special slender bolts were

The price of high-grade chromium-molybdenum nitride alloy steel is only more than 1,500 yuan per ton.

"Now the average salary of our factory employees has reached 160 yuan, which has almost tripled. The price of high-grade chromium-molybdenum nitride alloy steel has also quadrupled, rising to 6,000 yuan per ton.

"And the purchase price of the special slender bolts you gave has only increased from 31 cents to 75 cents. It has only increased by more than twice. As a result, our factory now has to lose money every time it produces a special slender bolt.

A dime is lost. In this case, how can our factory continue to cooperate with you?"

"Of course, Commissioner Zhao,"

Having said this, he paused and looked up at Zhao Hongtao, "Although you and I have not been in contact for a long time, after all, Wujiao Chemical Company and our factory have been cooperating for many years, and we deeply understand that if our factory

The sudden suspension of production will bring great disruption to the work of your Wujiao Chemical Company.

"So we will not stop production of these special slender bolts immediately, but will continue to produce them until April 30. And this additional buffer period of more than one month is probably enough for you, Commissioner Zhao, to find alternative production

Is it the manufacturer?"

"Director Luo, how can it be so easy?"

Zhao Hongtao said with a bitter face: "Your in-house parts factory has nearly ten years of experience in producing special slender bolts, and you still lose a cent for each one you produce. Those new manufacturers have no production experience, so don't you lose a cent every time you produce one?"

If you have to lose more, how can you accept this business?"

"I can't control this!"

Luo Daojun knocked on the table with his hand and said: "Whether other factories are willing to lose money or not is their business. Our factory can't continue to lose money anyway! I can only give you a buffer period of more than a month to help you."

You will be in production until April 30. Regardless of whether you have found a replacement manufacturer by then, our factory's special slender bolt production line must be discontinued!"

"Director Luo, don't be so heartless!" Zhao Hongtao smiled apologetically and offered Luo Daojun a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and begged: "In addition to suspending production, can't there be another solution?

plan?"

"Haha, there are other solutions!"

Luo Daojun took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile: "Commissioner Zhao, as long as you can increase the price of special slender bolts to more than 90 cents so that our factory can maintain production costs, then I assure you, no matter what the factory

No matter how busy your production tasks are, we will reserve a production line for special slender bolts for you!"

"How can this be?"

Zhao Hongtao shouted on the spot, "Director Luo, it's not like you don't know that the price our company allocates to the country for special slender bolts is only 78 cents. How can we possibly increase it to 90 cents for you?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Luo Daojun flicked the cigarette ashes: "You just need to go back and convince your company manager Wang Hongliang to raise the internal transfer price to 93.94 cents."

Having said this, he looked at Zhao Hongtao with a half-smile, "Commissioner Zhao, don't tell me that Wang Hongliang is not your brother-in-law!"
