In the end, Wang Hongwei did not answer Chen Taizhong's question. Although Qin Xiaofang also wanted to know, Director Wang just shook his head with a smile and refused to speak.
Seeing that these three people were all here and had work on their hands, Chen Taizhong sat there for a while, but felt that it was not interesting at all, so he stood up and left.
Before he walked out of No. 39, the phone in his hand rang. The call was from home. He took two steps and walked out the door before picking up the call.
"Taizhong, didn't your investment promotion office send something out?" The caller was my mother, "Why did someone send something out again today? There are quite a few..."
I'm sorry, Zhang Zhihui's Phoenix Hotel brought half a cart of things to Chen Taizhong's family. They weren't too expensive. The most expensive ones were probably a piece of Feitian Moutai and two strips of Zhonghua, but they couldn't hold many, and they weren't very expensive.
Cheap.
It was nothing more than fish, poultry, meat, and eggs, plus some vegetables, condiments, and dried seafood. The total was enough to fill half a minivan. My mother was so frightened that she thought it was her son who had stolen Corey's things.
I took them all back, for fear that he would make a mistake, "The chicken, fish, beef and meatballs alone add up to more than two hundred kilograms, but they are all ready..."
That doesn't add up to much. Chen Taizhong was a little funny, but when he thought about it, he felt a little regretful. My parents have lived in the factory for most of their lives. Where have they seen such a rich New Year's goods?
"These are all gifts from others, just put them down," he couldn't explain too much. "If the refrigerator is not big enough, how about I buy a freezer?"
"Freezers are very expensive and we don't need them on a daily basis," my mother is used to saving. "We can put some on the balcony and hang some outside the window. The rest... give some to the neighbors?"
"Why give it to them?" Chen Taizhong quit. The neighbors got along well, but since they moved into the factory's building dormitory, they have less contact with each other. "If you don't have anywhere to put it, I will take it."
, just in time to see someone off."
Liu Wangnan did not go back during the Spring Festival, and Ding Xiaoning was also alone. The house in Sunshine Community was also big, not to mention two hundred catties, even two thousand catties could be accommodated.
On the other hand, Yuhuayuan, where Meng Xiaoyan and Ren Jiao lived, had prepared a lot of new year's goods, and people often came to visit Xinzha's principal, so there was no need to think so much.
"This year's 30th will always be celebrated at our house, right?" My mother stopped talking about this topic, since her son is not at home anyway. She hid it a little and gave it to the old neighbors. I wasn't afraid that he would know, "You can't be alone all year round.
Son?"
"I won't go out from the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, okay?" Chen Taizhong made up his mind, "I'm going to buy some firecrackers now, and I'll be back the day after tomorrow morning..."
However, two days later, he regretted his decision.
Normally, everyone should stay at their own homes on New Year's Eve. However, his neighbors already know that the boy from the Chen family has made a career. Not only does he work in a government department, but he also drives a good car.
On weekdays, no one has any excuse for contact. But when Mrs. Chen gives something away, it is normal for others to return gifts. What’s so lucky is that everyone heard that Section Chief Taizhong, who is usually so busy that no one is around, will be there in the afternoon.
When we come back, we can see how the Chen family's boys are doing.
As a result, seven or eight outsiders squeezed into the home of more than 40 square meters in the afternoon. There was almost no room to turn around in the originally small home. The whole house was filled with smoke and a foul atmosphere.
Chen Taizhong couldn't stand the dirty air the most. He wanted to open the window, but when he saw Chu Hansheng, the chairman of the factory's labor union, was also present, he finally gritted his teeth and held back. He had to think about his father.
The factory where Chen Taizhong's parents are located is Phoenix Electric Machinery Factory, a deputy county-level enterprise. The factory's performance has been very poor in the past two years, and wages cannot be paid in full. It is currently planning to restructure.
When he found out that Chen Taizhong was now at the level of a full-time undergraduate, Chairman Chu was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out, "Isn't it right? Xiao Chen, you are... nineteen this year?"
"Let's count it as twenty," Chen Taizhong deliberately said that he was louder. In fact, his nineteenth birthday was spent in front of the exhibition stand in Birmingham, and it did not pass a few days ago.
"Awesome!" Chairman Chu raised his thumb. He knew very well what it meant to be a 20-year-old Zhengke. He had worked hard all his life, and now he only enjoyed deputy director-level treatment. He said he was still a Zhengke, but he didn't expect it.
The boy from the Chen family is so promising.
"Good luck," Chen Taizhong replied with a smile. This topic made him feel a little proud. He turned around and walked to the balcony, took two boxes of Soft China and invited everyone to smoke. "Smoke, I don't smoke."
"Soft China, more than seventy yuan per box," Chu Hansheng turned to look at Chen's father, "This kid of yours is really awesome. Is this a land gift from someone else?"
"Several business units gave it as a gift at the end of the year." Chen Taizhong didn't want anyone to associate him with corrupt officials. Although he had no prejudice against corrupt officials, it still didn't have a good reputation. "Besides, our business promotion and welfare benefits are also pretty good."
At this moment, he realized how important "keeping a low profile" his mother had always talked about was so important.
After chatting for a while, Chairman Chu patted his thigh and said, "By the way, Xiao Chen, can your investment promotion office introduce some funds to the motor factory? Otherwise, the next step will be even bigger."
"Isn't it going to be restructured?" Chen Taizhong is not enthusiastic about this. The Electrical Machinery Factory is a municipal enterprise with only 500 or 600 employees. In addition, there are almost 1,000 retired people. He is only the section chief, not the mayor.
"Full-employee joint-stock system?"
"A person has five thousand, not counting his retirement. How much money can he have?" Chairman Chu smiled bitterly, "It's over two million. The factory now owes the bank more than five million, and it's not even enough to repay the loan."
"Oh," Chen Taizhong nodded, but didn't answer. How could he know what an electrical machine factory is like? There are a lot of foreign debts, and he is owed a lot by others. Even if there is a capable person, he can solve the triangle debt.
, the factory is still losing money.
To put it bluntly, if the factory doesn’t introduce funds to improve the production line, doesn’t change the leadership, and doesn’t arrest a group of people in the sales and supply departments, there will be no salvation at all.
Now Chen Taizhong's parents are second-tier workers. After working all their lives, they only earn about 3,000 yuan per person per year. Including winter and summer, holiday benefits and labor protection supplies, the amount is less than 3,500 yuan. Life is tight.
But the Sales Department and the Supply Department are very fat. As long as someone has been working for three or five years, it is normal for them to make an income of 100,000 to 80,000 yuan a year. As for the section chiefs and deputy section chiefs, each one has a car.
I'm really not afraid of showing off.
In fact, the current Phoenix Motor Factory has lagged far behind the market. The production cost is not only a burden for retirees, but also the procurement cost, which is generally higher than the market price. In the words of the supply department, it is necessary to ensure
The quality of raw materials ensures the reputation of state-owned enterprise products.
Nowadays, many small private factories make motors. They save as much as they can on materials. Just talking about copper wires. For the same type of motor, the copper used by people at home is less than two-thirds of that of motor factories. The cost is low, and the selling price is naturally higher.
Came down.
This is where things get weird. Are they said to be shoddy? The motors from the motor factory are big, black, thick and made of real materials. But when you really want to use them, they are not as solid as those knock-off versions.
Therefore, this production process must be considered outdated. Of course, strictly speaking, no one cares about it. Those small private factories may not be able to keep up with electrical machinery factories in terms of infrastructure and production equipment.
In short, motors from other places have a great impact on the Phoenix market. Price determines everything. When the quality is about the same, if there is a 1,000 motor, buy an 1,800 motor instead. Isn't this unhealthy?
Fortunately, the city has local policies. In order to support local enterprises, all enterprises and institutions must buy motors from the motor factory. Otherwise, you will not be able to pass the financial audit. However, a small Phoenix city cannot support itself.
Such a motor factory.
Phoenix Motor was still a well-known brand more than ten years ago. The price was a little expensive, but it could still sell some products to exports. Some places really recognized this brand. However, after selling, there was still a problem with getting money back.
When the sales department talks about repayment, they complain all the time. We are the ones who get scolded for not being able to sell, and we are the ones getting scolded for not being able to get the money back after selling. Do you know how harsh the triangle debt is now?
But in fact, every employee in the electrical machine factory knows that many of the current accounts receivable have become bad debts. It is said that more than 8 million are owed externally, and it would be good to recover half of them.
However, you can't just beat everyone to death with one stick. Sales Corey actually makes money by selling motors and makes a fortune by relying on sales commissions. More than one or two of these people are golden and will shine wherever they go.
Isn't it a trap for such a factory to attract investment? Chen Taizhong will never accept such talk. Anyway, he will provide for his parents, so they will not have to worry about food and clothing. Why do I care so much about you?
Seeing that he didn't express his position, Chu Hansheng let out a long sigh. Although he worked in a state-owned enterprise rather than an agency, he had come into contact with many leaders over the past few decades, so he knew that this boy from the Chen family had no intention of talking.
However, he is really unwilling to do so, and since everyone has nothing to do now, they have to mutter a few words again, no matter how well you, Xiao Chen, develop, we are also your uncles, how can you still dance in front of your father?
?
"If things don't go well this time, bankruptcy may happen this year. Taizhong, you can't watch these uncles and aunts starve to death, can you? We watched you grow up."
