Yang Ling smiled, knowing that Wang Bin would definitely agree, because in the entire steel plant or even in the entire Jiangyang Province, no one except Yang Ling could process these scrap steel at such a low cost and in such a safe way.
Including large steel mills, if their technology is not in place, not only will they not be able to handle the scrap steel, but the scrap steel magazines will also cause great harm to the steel-making furnaces.
Everyone at the scene was stunned. Everyone thought it was a great gift that Wang Bin gave up the position of deputy director of the workshop to Yang Ling. Everyone was extremely envious.
But I didn't expect that Wang Bin now promised to give Yang Ling a share of 300 yuan for every ton of scrap steel processed.
A share of 300 yuan!
This amount of money is not a small amount. In 1997, the monthly salary of most employees at Jiangcheng Steel Plant was only more than 400 yuan, and the salary of middle-level cadres was only about 600 yuan.
If Yang Ling could get 300 yuan for processing one ton of scrap steel, his monthly income would be at least a thousand yuan, and sometimes it could even reach two or three thousand yuan.
It may be enough to cover a worker's salary for more than half a year.
Most of the people who could stay in the factory to watch Yang Ling refining scrap steel during this period were core employees of the factory. They knew very well about Wang Bin selling scrap steel for personal gain, but no one dared to say anything.
Now they are jealous that Yang Ling can get a piece of the pie, they are really envious.
The one I envy most is of course Wu Jun. Wu Jun is the director of the factory and is also considered the factory’s management. His monthly salary is less than 1,000 yuan.
In other words, Yang Ling's current monthly income will be higher than his regular income.
However, as Wu Jun is the management of the factory, he will also have other additional gray income, and getting a share of the scrap steel is also one of the incomes.
Wu Jun is now caught in a conflict. On the one hand, like Wang Bin, he hopes that Yang Ling can successfully refine the scrap steel so that the scrap steel can be sold at a good price, so that he can share some profits from Wang Bin.
On the one hand, he was very unhappy with Yang Ling and did not want Yang Ling to succeed and be reused by Wang Bin.
At this time, Wu Jun and Wang Bin looked at each other, and both sides knew what the other was thinking——
Let Yang Ling take the lead in refining scrap steel for the time being. When the factory figures out the technical principles and processes of refining scrap steel, this brat will definitely be kicked away.
Su Yi looked at her husband with wide eyes, her face full of shock and disbelief.
If one ton of scrap steel can earn 300 yuan, it will greatly improve the family's life, and the foreign debts and loans owed outside can be paid off quickly.
Su Yi was suddenly moved and wanted to cry.
A total of 500 kilograms of scrap steel was refined on site, and the final quality steel came out to be about 450 kilograms (loss has been included in the cost).
Wang Bin was impatient and immediately called the workers to bring this batch of steel to Jiangzhou for sale.
Just kidding, this batch of steel can be sold as second-class high-quality steel. Of course, it will not be sold to the intermediaries who collect scrap steel from steel mills like the scrap steel in the past.
Wang Bin made a call to Director Chen of the Raw Materials Department of Jiangzhou Steel Plant.
"Hello, Chu Chen, hello! Well, I'm Xiao Wang. Here's the situation. We have a batch of crude steel here. Let's see if you need it. If the quality is okay, you can take it back and re-refine it.
Or you can sell it directly..."
"You also know that the sales of our Jiangcheng Steel Plant are not that smooth, and the equipment is not very advanced. Of course it would be good to cooperate with a large factory like yours to expand our sales..."
Wang Bin was very modest and described the batch of high-quality steel he had just refined as scrap steel in order to open up sales.
As for the actual quality of the steel, I took him to Jiangzhou Steel Plant to show it to Director Chen, and it became clear to everyone.
"...Okay, okay, I'll organize a vehicle here right away. I'll pull a batch of goods for you first and you can check the quality. You can inspect the goods first and then give you a price. Our two steel mills have had a cooperative relationship for so many years.
Don't say those kind words either."
The sales volume was settled, and Wang Bin also made an appointment to have dinner and drinks with several leaders above.
Before leaving, Wang Bin called Wu Jun and said to Wu Jun: "You and I will have dinner together tonight and we will meet some friends."
Wu Jun got into Wang Bin's Jetta car with understanding.
In the Jetta, Wang Bin and Wu Jun were sitting in the back row. Only then did Wang Bin tell the truth.
"Yang Ling, this kid, is really ignorant of flattery. He actually wants to hide the price from me. He wants me 300 yuan per ton of scrap steel. Is he the director of the factory or am I the director?"
Wang Bin was very angry when he said this, startling the driver in front of him. The driver secretly glanced at the furious Wang Bin through the rearview mirror, did not dare to speak, and quickly concentrated on driving.
Wu Jun understood the factory director's intentions at this time, and he said unhappily: "I don't know where this kid stole the technology, but he dared to be so bold and extort money from us."
Wang Bin took out Huazi from his bag, handed one to Wu Jun, and smoked one himself. Wu Jun quickly took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for the factory director.
Wang Bin took a deep breath of cigarette, and then he calmed down his inner anxiety.
He whispered in Wu Jun's ear: "We must find a way to master Yangling's scrap steel refining technology and all industrial processes. As long as we master the technology, the money will be divided among us."
"I leave this matter to you. You arrange for Director Liu or others to keep a close eye on Yang Ling, watch how he operates, and memorize every step of refining steel.
Come down."
Wu Jun let out a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Wang Bin had the same idea as him. As long as he mastered Yang Ling's scrap steel refining technology, the first thing he would do would be to kick Yang Ling away.
However, Wu Jun is still a little confused: "Why don't you leave this matter to Director Su Jiayong? Director Su knows the technical aspects very well, so he is much better than me asking the people below to keep an eye on it."
Wang Bin quickly waved his hand and said: "Su Jiayong is really good at steelmaking technology and is an indispensable technical director in our factory, but his brain is not good enough and he is a fool."
"He knows that the technology for refining scrap steel was invented by Yang Ling. If he knew about our plan, he would definitely tell Yang Ling, which would cause complications."
Of course Wu Jun knew this, and he asked this question deliberately.
Wu Jun said to Wang Bin with certainty: "Director Wang, don't worry, I will complete the task with quality and quantity."
Wu Jun looked at the fading scenery outside the window, his eyes full of greed.
He believed that as long as Yangling mastered the technology of refining scrap steel, Yangling would be worthless.
Yang Ling stayed in the production workshop and asked the workers to clean up the waste from steel refining before preparing to ride his bicycle home.
By this time it was already 8pm.
In Jiangcheng in summer, it is very cool at night.
The sun will also set around 8:10~8:30, which is the perfect time to set.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Yang Ling, casting a long slant shadow on the ground.
Yang Ling unscrewed the water glass he brought with him and took a few sips, feeling extremely refreshed.
He knew that Su Yi had already gotten off work and should be cooking dinner at home waiting for him. Thinking of this warm noodles, Yang Ling was very happy.
He looked at the sunset in the distance and said: "Now that I am reborn, I will reverse my destiny."
Yang Ling was now sure that Wang Bin and Wu Jun were discussing how to get technology from him and then kick him away.
But Yang Ling was confident in her heart.
Every move he made was an anticipated move. He wanted to let Wang Bin and Wu Jun know how to refine scrap steel. Only in this way would the two men fall even harder and be unable to get up.
Yang Ling found his 28-inch bicycle in the carport of the factory. He patted the dust on it with his hands and prepared to leave the factory on his bicycle and go home for dinner.
Jiangcheng City is an old industrial new county. In addition to Jiangcheng Steel Plant, there are also a series of backward-capacity industries such as Jiangcheng Machinery Plant and Jiangcheng Coal Plant.
Although these industries can provide most of Jiangcheng's labor force, they also pollute the environment quite a bit.
For example, less than a day after Yang Ling parked her bicycle in the shed, thick dust fell on the seat.
Before his rebirth, Yang Ling also knew that many old employees of Jiangcheng Steel Plant were suffering from silicosis in middle age, and many of them died from it.
Therefore, Yang Ling decided to finish the matter at Jiangcheng Steel Plant earlier and leave this working environment.
Of course, he decided to let Su Yi leave here first. After all, in addition to the harsh working environment in Jiangcheng Steel Plant, Wu Jun, the evil wolf, was still staring at Su Yi.
At this time, Su Yi was busy cooking for Yang Ling at home.
In fact, most of the food had been prepared after she got off work, but she figured Yang Ling would be back by this time, so she heated the food in the pot.
Su Yi's cooking skills are also very good, and today's meal is quite delicious, including a vinegar fish and pig ears cut from the braised pork stall outside the factory.
Thinking that Yang Ling had been tired for a day, she must have a good meal to replenish her body.
Yang Jianqiang had just eaten. He was now walking outside the family area of Jiangcheng Steel Plant, probably playing chess with the old men in the family area.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, very urgent.
"Come on, come on." Su Yi wiped her hands on her apron and hurried to open the door, thinking that Yang Ling was back.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, I found the fat aunt Li Xia downstairs.
Seeing the fat aunt coming over, Su Yi's expression suddenly changed. Her heart was pounding and she had some ominous premonitions.
Before Yang Ling's mother passed away some time ago, Yang Ling borrowed 1,000 yuan from her fat aunt. She originally promised to pay it back next month, but why did her fat aunt come forward at this time?
Su Yi forced a smile, and quickly invited Fat Aunt Li Xia to come in, and said very politely: "Have Aunt Li had dinner? Come sit down quickly, and I will make tea for you."
There was no smile on Aunt Li's face from the moment she walked in. She was very clumsy with her big belly, but she walked in without any courtesy.
Although Yang Ling's home is relatively shabby, Su Yi is very diligent, so she cleans the house very clean, including the floor.
But the fat aunt was not so particular. The soles of her shoes were full of mud, so she walked in without saying anything about changing her shoes.
The fat aunt walked directly to the sofa, and the ground was full of footprints.
Su Yi didn't know what to say when she saw this situation, so she went to the kitchen to pour water for the fat aunt.
The fat aunt did not sit on the sofa, but walked to the dining table. When she saw a table full of delicious dishes, her brows furrowed even more.
At this time, the fat aunt spoke: "Su Yi, when do you plan to pay back the money your Yang Ling borrowed some time ago?"
There is actually a reason why the fat aunt came to my door today.
Yesterday, she saw Yang Ling carrying bags from the department store, chickens, beef and other items home. She followed Yang Ling curiously and found that the bag in the department store was a very beautiful silk skirt.
Today, Fat Aunt passed by a department store and saw in the window a silk skirt that was exactly the same as Yang Ling's. The price was as high as 400 yuan.
In other words, Yang Ling went home yesterday with a dress worth 400 yuan and chicken and beef worth dozens of yuan.
And today, the fat aunt saw Su Yi carrying a piece of fish home, as well as braised pig ears and vegetables outside the factory, which cost at least dozens of dollars.
Seeing this situation, the fat aunt suddenly felt unhappy.
He didn't repay the money he lent himself, and what was going on with the delicious food and drinks there, so the fat aunt decided to come up and take a look.
Good guy, I’m shocked to see that the food eaten by Su Yi’s family is better than the food eaten by my own family.
They had carp in vinegar, braised pig ears and stewed chicken (yesterday), but today the fat aunt's family only had a small portion of stir-fried pork and a bowl of white cucumber.
Su Yi noticed the look in Fat Auntie's eyes. She quickly handed over the water and said very apologetically: "We will return it to you as soon as possible."
"As soon as possible, how long does it take?" Aunt Li said with an unhappy look on her face.
Su Yi quickly said, "The last time we agreed in advance was to pay back the money next month, we will definitely pay it back to you next month."
It’s not difficult to borrow money again and again. The reason why Fat Aunt lent money to Su Yi was because last year, Fat Aunt’s old man was seriously ill and went to the hospital to borrow 500 yuan from Su Yi’s family.
Su Yi lent the money without saying a word.
But as time went by, the Fat Aunt's family refused to pay back the money. Finally, Yang Ling's mother was critically ill and was about to die, and needed money urgently, so the Fat Aunt's family reluctantly lent the 1,000 yuan.
That is to say, 500 yuan of the 1,000 yuan was originally to be returned to Yang Ling, and the other 500 yuan was lent to Yang Ling by the fat aunt.
The fat aunt became even more unhappy when Su Yi said this. She sneered, pointed at the food on the table and said, "Your family is really strange. You have money to buy nice dresses, you have money to eat big fish and meat, but you have no money to pay off your debts.
Do you want to default on your debt?"
The fat aunt spoke very harshly: "Sure enough, the kind of father will give birth to the kind of son, and the kind of son will find the kind of wife!"
Su Yi's face changed immediately when she heard this. She suppressed the anger in her heart and explained kindly: "We are very grateful that you lent us money when our family was in crisis. Neither Yang Ling nor me.
The kind of person who borrows money and refuses to repay it, we have agreed to pay you back next month and we will definitely pay you back, and we will not default on the debt."
The fat aunt said coldly: "Who knows?"
As she spoke, the fat aunt put her hand with black mud nails into the plate of vinegared carp, picked out a piece of fish, put it in her mouth and chewed it.
