Chapter 590 The Trouble at Shuangyang Factory
“Mr. Qin, this is the former aircraft production workshop, and later we transformed it into a car production workshop.” When they arrived at the assembly workshop, Zhao Shunli introduced it to Qin Tao.
The production of aircraft is purely manual, there is no such thing as an assembly line. An aircraft occupies a place, stands are set up around it, and various parts are pushed over and installed directly on site. The aircraft does not move during the entire process.
It was not until later that pulsating production lines began to appear, and the assembly speed of aircraft was greatly improved.
As for automobile production, it entered the stage of streamlined production long before World War II. The production line in front of us is still purely handmade, and is similar to the assembly of cars in a repair shop. It’s crazy how good the quality can be.
The Skylark sedan was eliminated from the market for a reason.
"This place is indeed too backward. However, we have also consulted with the islanders. If we want to build a modern automobile production line, we will have to invest hundreds of millions. We simply cannot afford that much money." Zhao Shunli said.
"Without modern automobile production lines, the quality of the cars you produce will be very poor. After the first batch of products are put on the market, the brand will be ruined, and it will be difficult to turn around in the future." Qin Tao said: "The same is true for the assembly of aircraft. , are the workers’ craftsmanship good?”
"Yes." Zhao Shunli nodded: "Mr. Qin, according to your request, we have already slimmed down to ensure that the proportion of front-line employees accounts for more than 95%. You are really amazing. You didn't come here to know that we There is an overstaffing situation in state-owned enterprises."
“Are all the employees here?” Qin Tao asked.
“Of course, the employees are all here. Although there are no production tasks in the factory for the time being, we still have to go to work as normal.”
“Well, that’s good, let’s take a look around.”
Leader Han suddenly became a little nervous: "Mr. Qin, there are no production tasks below. You can't see anything. Should we go to the conference room to sit down? You have been working hard all day. You are very tired. You are about to get off work. , let’s take a rest and then it’s time to go eat.”
“Yes, that’s right.” Zhao Shunli nodded.
Qin Tao glanced at the two of them, then nodded: "Okay."
The two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Zhengyang, who was following Qin Tao, felt like a bright mirror in his heart. Of course he could see that Mr. Qin had begun to be suspicious, but he just didn't point it out.
The group of people headed towards the office building, when a figure suddenly appeared under a big tree on the side of the road.
He was wearing white-washed work clothes, with white hair already appearing on his temples. When he saw Zhao Shunli, he was very excited: "Director Zhao, I have finally found you! I have thought about the proposal for the factory. ,I…"
“Old Wang, we’ll discuss your matters later. Didn’t you see that we are accompanying important leaders?” Zhao Shunli’s expression suddenly changed.
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s important or not, we’re just here to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Lao Wang, if you have any difficulties, tell us and we will make the decision for you.”
Qin Tao is only thirty years old now. He is still a young man. He does not look like a big leader from his superiors at all. On the contrary, he looks very friendly. Lao Wang did not dare to look at Zhao Shunli's gloomy face and hesitated. After a few moments he finally spoke.
"My son is getting married. The woman wants four big items and a gift of two thousand yuan." Lao Wang also risked his life for his son: "The factory has not paid wages, and I have no choice. I can only follow the factory's instructions." of…"
"Old Wang! Pay attention to your identity!" Zhao Shunli said: "This is..."
“Director Zhao, your official authority is quite powerful.”
Hearing Qin Tao's words, Zhao Shunli's face instantly turned pale and he no longer dared to speak.
Han Zhongyi said: "Old Wang, don't worry, we will solve your family problems soon. The person who is speaking to you now is Mr. Qin, the boss of Mingzhou Group. Our Shuangyang Factory will soon be Mingzhou Group acquires it, and at that time, all the wages owed by the factory will be repaid, and we will never mistreat the comrades who have worked in the factory for half their lives."
Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group? The most famous large-scale shipbuilding group in the country?
Lao Wang didn’t dare to say anything anymore. He quickly nodded and bowed to express his gratitude, and then stepped aside.
"Mr. Qin, let's keep going. We're just ahead." Zhao Shunli also put back his displeasure and continued to move forward with Qin Tao.
Qin Tao glanced at Lao Wang who was flashing beside him, and had already made up his mind.
In the conference room, holding a tea cup, Qin Tao asked: "Director Zhao, are the wages owed in our factory high?"
“Yes, our factory has been in arrears with wages for many months since the Skylark Automobile project failed, and the medical expenses of some old comrades are also waiting to be reimbursed.”
“Cough, cough.” Han Zhongyi coughed twice. Zhao Shunli thought of something, and his face became even more ugly. He quickly shut up and did not dare to say anything more.
“Mr. Qin, don’t worry, these difficulties are only temporary. After that, our factory will operate normally and all wages will not be a problem.” Han Zhongyi said.
"Well, I'm in a dilemma too." Qin Tao said: "Our Mingzhou Group's J-31A project is about to be finalized and put into production, so we need an aircraft factory. However, when we do business, we need to calculate profits. , if the investment is too large and exceeds our investment in the new factory, then we..."
Zhao Shunli finally realized what he was doing, and his heart skipped a beat. Is Mr. Qin going to back down? All the employees in the factory are waiting for their second spring after being acquired. If Mingzhou Group leaves, what will they do?
Thinking of this, Zhao Shunli's face turned even paler.
"Oh, but after seeing what Lao Wang was like today, I really want to help him." Qin Tao said: "There must be many similar situations in the factory. Although we want to make money, we We cannot be like those black-hearted capitalists. We get rich first and then get rich later, and we will eventually get rich together."
What Qin Tao said did not make everyone relax. Everyone understood what he meant.
Shuangyang Factory is a mess. Qin is always worried about investing, for fear that all the money invested will be wasted. Why he wants to help a family like Lao Wang is just an expression of goodwill. As for whether it can count, Not necessarily.
From the other party’s perspective, we can also understand that directly contracting a third-tier factory is definitely a burden! If the cost of building a new factory exceeds the cost, why not just open a new factory?
"Especially, after we take over the factory, we can't make money immediately. We need to build a new factory and relocate all the machinery, equipment and personnel. This will require a huge investment. Now, if the employees' wages, medical treatment If we have to spend a lot of money on reimbursement and so on, our burden will be too big."
At this time, Qin Tao looked embarrassed.
"Mr. Qin, please rest assured that our government will definitely provide strong assistance." Han Zhongyi said: "Isn't our factory going to be relocated? We don't need a penny for the land required for relocation!"
If you want to keep Mingzhou Group, you have to offer preferential conditions. Factory relocation requires a large amount of land. According to the current process, land transfer fees must be paid to the government, which is a huge sum of money. As for the relocation of personnel on the original land and compensation for farmland, etc., it is only a small amount of money.
Now, in order to retain Mingzhou Group, the government would rather not waive this fee.
"I heard that the provincial capital is going to establish an economic and technological development zone, and allocate seven square kilometers for us, which is almost enough. However, it is best to be on the edge of this development zone, without tall buildings blocking it. After all, we still need to provide Leave enough airspace for aircraft to take off and land."
Han Zhongyi was stunned for a moment.
If you want to develop the economy, you have to take various actions. Although your province is economically backward, it is not slow in its actions. In 1992, they officially decided to build the provincial capital in the Xiaohe Industrial and Mining Zone in GY City. An area of 16.5 square kilometers has been designated to prepare for the establishment of an economic and technological development zone.
But later, after some investigation, I felt that this area was too large, so I adjusted it from 16.5 square kilometers to 9.55 square kilometers. Planning scope: Starting from the Provincial Capital Spinning Factory in the north, from Zhuangdu Bridge along the Nanming River to Xiaomachang in the west, along the Huafeng Electrical Appliance Factory to Chenliang River (also known as the Little Yellow River) in the east, and to Wangkuan Village in Huaxi District in the south. It is 7.41 kilometers long from north to south, 4.3 kilometers at its widest point in the middle, and 0.7 kilometers at its narrowest point in the south.
Even this area is not fully occupied yet.
Mr. Qin actually wants to move the factory to the provincial capital, and it will cover seven square kilometers at once. This is simply the area they have to cut off!
There are mountains everywhere in your province. It is not easy to find a piece of flat land. Would it be a bit big to allocate such a large area to Mingzhou Group to build a new factory all at once?
"Mr. Qin, our Yunma Factory is currently the largest aircraft assembly factory. The construction area is only 430,000 square meters. With various roads and venues, etc., the maximum is one square kilometer. You want six square kilometers. Is this area? …”
Han Zhongyi hesitated to speak, for fear of offending Qin Tao.
Yunma Factory is quite large, and the construction area of Shuangyang Factory is only 88,000 square meters. If the mountains it occupies are added together, it is only two square kilometers.
"This is because the Yunma Factory is just a complete machine assembly plant. Since we are relocating, other parts manufacturing plants have to come with us. We can't have those factories also in the mountains. Moreover, if we want to increase our production, we have to move here." You have to expand the scale. How can you do it in a small way like you did before? Take the aircraft assembly factory as an example. The length must be at least three thousand meters and the width must be two hundred meters. This is enough. You can go out and see what countries are doing. How big are the aircraft manufacturing factories in China? We cannot use this purely manual workshop production model, because the cost is too high."
A factory building with a length of three thousand meters and a width of two hundred meters? How big is this? It’s enough to produce Boeing 747!
Everyone was shocked by Mr. Qin's words.
"Furthermore, our airstrip needs to be three thousand meters long, plus the apron, etc., and five hundred meters wide. In this way, the runway plus the assembly plant will occupy an area of three square kilometers, and the rest will be allocated to various Accessories production factory, staff dormitories, etc., I’m afraid they’re not enough!”
“Aren’t we going to produce fighter jets? Do we need such a long runway?” Zhao Shunli couldn’t believe it.
"Do you think the runway is only for fighter jets? Other parts required for our aircraft, such as engines, circuit equipment, etc., are not allowed to be transported? If land transportation is inconvenient, then transport aircraft must be used. Also, the aircraft we produce It is for export. If the target country is too far away from us and the aircraft’s range is not enough, we have to remove the wings of the aircraft and put it into a transport aircraft to send it over. Do you still think it is the way we used to produce J-6 aircraft?"
Everyone is so ashamed that they have been hiding in this ravine, unable to see the outside world!
Thinking of the scale of this kind of factory, Han Zhongyi also became excited: "Mr. Qin, you are right. We have never seen much of the world in this small place, so we will follow your instructions and help you in economic and technological development." Seven square kilometers of land will be granted!"
Qin Tao nodded: "Thank you very much. We also need your cooperation in land acquisition. After all, we are outsiders. If we spend a lot of time in land acquisition, we will delay production and construction."
Land acquisition!
After all, poor mountains and harsh waters breed unruly people. Ahem, this sentence is a bit unpleasant. In other words, it means that Cang Lin knows etiquette. During the land acquisition process, most people will cooperate, but it is also troublesome for a few stubborn households to refuse to relocate and demand high fees.
Qin Tao is not willing to waste time on this kind of project.
Han Zhongyi frowned: "Are we still responsible for land acquisition?"
“We will pay for the land acquisition, but you will be responsible for the land acquisition. When our Mingzhou Group moves in, what we want is a piece of land that has been fenced off,” Qin Tao said.
Han Zhongyi breathed a sigh of relief: "This is okay."
He originally thought that the government would have to pay for this, which would be a headache. Now, it’s just a matter of helping out, so that’s no problem.
“By the way, after the relocation, this old factory area will be useless, right?” Qin Tao asked.
Han Zhongyi nodded: "Yes, what do you think, Mr. Qin?"
“Since we are acquiring Shuangyang Aircraft Factory, this old factory area can also be regarded as our property.” Qin Tao said: “We plan to develop it as a tourist attraction in the future.”
travel? Who will travel here? Han Zhongyi was a little funny, but it was not a big deal. After all, no one would go there anymore, and it would be completely abandoned in the future. Since Mr. Qin was interested in elegance, he would give it to Mingzhou Group together.
After these conversations, it was already time to eat. Everyone went to the canteen. After eating, it was already nightfall.
Standing at the window of the guest house, Qin Tao looked at the dim light of the street lights outside.
"Mr. Qin, the investigation has made it clear that before Lao Wang finished what he said, he just wanted to retire early to free up his position."
“Make room?”
"That's right, when they learned that our Mingzhou Group wanted to acquire, we also had to ensure that 95% of them were workers. Therefore, many people tried their best to get into the ranks of workers. They heard that our Mingzhou Group's The salary is very good, and the income of an ordinary worker is better than that of the current leaders, so the positions of ordinary workers are very popular, and some leaders who cannot be transferred are willing to become ordinary workers."
Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "This is the situation of taking over a mess. Alas, I really have some doubts. I don't know whether this is good or bad."
If we had followed Qin Tao's previous operating methods, he would have waited for the factory to completely go bankrupt and all employees to be laid off before acquiring it. This would completely break some people's illusions. But now, he belongs to a cross-industry business and it is not easy to acquire an aviation company.
If you have to wait for the factory to completely close down and go bankrupt before acquiring it, it may attract criticism. Now is the best time to make a move.
However, it is absolutely impossible to let him leave it alone and let him suffer the disadvantage of being dumb.
“Mr. Qin, do you really intend to develop these barren mountains into tourist areas?” Xu Zhengyang continued to ask.
"What, you think I'm bragging?" Qin Tao looked at Xu Zhengyang with a smile: "The land in the development zone in the provincial capital that we want can still be used for real estate if the project fails. This barren mountain and wild ridge, even if it is developed into Even in the villa area, no one came."
Xu Zhengyang nodded, that’s true. There is no commercial development value here.
“You don’t understand now, but people will be nostalgic in the future. This factory is the memory of the third-line military factory. Let’s bring it over. If we do tourism in the future, it will definitely be a tourist attraction.”
“Punch in?”
“It’s just like signing in and clocking in at work, don’t you know? The green innovation company has this kind of sign-in system, you’ll know if you take the time to check it out.”
"oh."
the next day.
“Mr. Qin, are you still used to sleeping in our mountain valley?” Zhao Shunli came over early in the morning.
“It’s very good, it’s like returning to nature.” Qin Tao said with a smile: “Let’s go to the workshop today.”
"OK."
After dinner, everyone came to the workshop. Although the masters had no work, they still held rags and wiped the machines, looking very diligent.
Qin Tao glanced back and forth and saw a middle-aged man with stiff movements. His work clothes were clean and straight. They were definitely taken out from the warehouse. The cuffs were not fastened. He was very similar to other workers. Easy to identify.
You are the one!
Qin Tao strode over.
“This worker, do you operate this machine tool?” Qin Tao asked.
“Well, yes.” The other party hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
“What parts do you process?”
“As long as there are drawings, any parts can be processed.” The other party was very confident.
“Then let’s process a gear.” Qin Tao said, “Secretary Xu, bring me the drawings.”
Gear!
"Mr. Qin, the processing of this gear..." Zhao Shunli was about to say something when he was interrupted by Qin Tao: "My car happened to have a broken gear. Your factory makes airplanes and cars. It should be easy to process a gear. Anyway, I am idle here, so let me see what you are capable of."
This is Mr. Qin’s test, can you still refuse? However, if you don’t refuse, problems will arise again!
The middle-aged worker took over the design drawings and looked confused. What should I do?
He hesitated for a while and finally spoke: "Mr. Qin, I'm not good at processing gears."
“Then what are you good at? Didn’t you just say that as long as you have drawings, you can process anything?”
“I’m good at processing screws.” The other party finally spoke.
Qin Tao laughed secretly in his heart, this guy really doesn’t understand anything!
The machine tool in front of him is a gear hobbing machine, which is specialized in producing gears. If he can use this equipment to produce a screw, he will be the best turner in the country.
"Okay, let's process it." Qin Tao said, "Let's observe and see the level of the masters at Shuangyang Factory."
Some skilled workers around him became nervous. Zhao Shunli winked several times, but the middle-aged worker couldn't understand it at all. He took a blank and began to figure out how to put the blank on the gear hobbing machine.
Qin Tao was not in a hurry and just watched leisurely from the side.
The other party tried several times but could not complete the fixation.
Hobbing machines are used to make gears. The gears are flat, like a plate, but the screw is long and thin, like a stick. Damn if he can fit it in.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour passed, and the middle-aged worker was sweating profusely.
“Director Zhao, your workers are really amazing. It’s an eye-opener for me.”
“Mr. Qin, this worker is not in good condition today. Let’s replace him with another worker, Lao Wang, Lao Wang!”
That Lao Wang from yesterday is the most skilled in the factory. If he were to come, he could solve the problem in three strokes, five strokes and two divisions.
“No, I’ll just watch him process.” Qin Tao said, “He should be able to represent the level of ordinary workers in your factory.”
"No, no, no." Zhao Shunli's back was already soaked, and he explained with an ugly face: "Mr. Qin, this worker has not been on the front line before, he is from the logistics department..."
“Not on the front line? Director Zhao, do you know what this means?”
Zhao Shunli was sweating profusely: "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, we have too many leaders in the factory. Everyone wants to stay and continue to contribute to the factory. In order to meet the requirements of 95% of your workers, so , some of our leaders would rather go down to work as workers than stay, which fully reflects the willingness of our factory leaders to give..."
"So? Should I praise their style?" Qin Tao said: "When the factory started working, I suddenly discovered that most of the workers in the factory didn't even know how to use a machine tool and had to use a hobbing machine to process screws. ?”
Zhao Shunli looked very embarrassed, and Han Zhongyi on the side was in a stalemate as it was inconvenient to speak.
"What I want are workers who can do the job, not just fake workers! If they really get to the front line, not only will they not be able to produce normally, but they may also be in danger!" Qin Tao's tone became stern: "People without any skills will operate. These devices can easily cause disability! We don’t want to see that kind of scene!”
"Mr. Qin, you are right, we will change, we will change." Zhao Shunli nodded repeatedly.
"After the agreement is signed, we will send specialized personnel to assess. No matter how many certificates your factory workers have obtained, we will not recognize them. They must pass the written test and the operation test. Only after passing the test can they become employees of our new factory. For workers who are unqualified, the government will help solve their employment problems. Leader Han, what do you think?"
PS: I wish you all a happy Spring Festival, and there will be an update later.
