Material Empire

"You have the nerve to say it!" Ning Zhongying glared at his son, but his heart was a little sour and warm.

After retiring to the second line, Ning Zhongying was in a bad mood. Every time she saw her son not live up to expectations, she couldn't help but yell. After scolding, he somewhat regretted it, feeling that he had been too harsh on his son. But with his temper, he regretted it, but he would never bow to his son.

After coming and going, Ning Mo became afraid when he saw Ning Zhongying, and the relationship between father and son gradually became estranged. Ning Zhongying sometimes wants to talk to her son and restore the relationship. But whenever he had this idea, Ning Mo would definitely cause some trouble outside, so that Ning Zhongying had to deal with him with a more severe reprimand.

Ning Zhongying hadn't seen such a happy gesture like just now from her son for many years. In Ning Zhongying's memory, it was before Ning Mo was ten years old. Ning Zhongying let him ride on his neck. When he was playing with monkeys in Hongze Zoo, Ning Mo had such a natural presumptuousness.

"Dad, you don't know, Qin Hai's quenching technology is top-notch!" Ning Mo didn't have as many emotions as Ning Zhongying, he just felt that his father was very tolerant to him today, even though he still said what he said. It's a reprimand, but it's more about caring than accusing. He was simple-minded, and when his father gave him a little sunshine, he became brilliant.

"... That blacksmith Zhang Laosan was so awesome at the beginning, what did you say about Qin Hai... a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but Qin Hai got a solution of trinitrate solution, quenched the head of the shovel, and used it to chop bricks. Nothing happened, Zhang Laosan looked stupid, dragging Qin Hai to apprentice..." Ning Mo narrated Qin Hai's domineering performance like a few treasures.

"Where did you learn this?" Ning Zhongying interrupted her son's words and turned to Qin Hai and asked.

Qin Haidao: "Some are the courses of the technical school, and some are learned by myself from reading. However, what is learned on paper is superficial, and it still needs to be tested through practice in the end."

"Dad, Qin Hai said..." Ning Mo was very excited about the conversation, and he planned to continue to introduce to his father the fact that Qin Hai asked them to read the book. He felt that if this matter was told, his father's impression of Qin Hai would be very good .

"Ning Mo, don't interrupt, listen to Director Ning." Qin Hai reminded him. Regarding his situation, Ning Mo's narrative was enough, and any more words would easily arouse Ning Zhongying's resentment. Now is the time to hear what Ning Zhongying thinks.

Strange to say, Ning Mo didn't feel anything when Ning Zhongying interrupted Ning Mo. With Qin Hai's reminder, Ning Mo obediently shut up immediately. In just a few days, he actually developed the habit of obeying Qin Haiyan.

Ning Zhongying also noticed this, and he felt that it was more necessary for him to have a deeper understanding of Qin Hai's fiction and reality. If Qin Hai is indeed a promising young man, Ning Mo can learn well from him. On the contrary, if Qin Hai is a treacherous and evil person, then Ning Zhongying has to find a way to suppress Qin Hai, so as not to let him bring his son down.

"You have been working in the factory for several days, what do you think of Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory?" Ning Zhongying asked.

Qin Hai knew that Ning Zhongying was trying to get to know him in circles, and he didn't have any bad deeds, so he didn't have to worry about it, so he answered all the questions: "The factory is very strong, many cadres and workers are very capable, and some are very dedicated employees."

"What do you think about the direction of the factory's operations?"

"It's a bit confusing, but if you adjust it in time, there won't be any major problems."

"Have you heard about the factory's plan to switch to washing machines?"

"heard about it."

"How do you rate this?"

"Nonsense!" Qin Hai said decisively.

"Nonsense?" Ning Zhongying laughed dumbfounded, and his interest in the young man in front of him suddenly rose several levels. He remembered that when Wei Baolin asked him for advice on changing the production of washing machines, he also said these two words, and these two words made Wei Baolin very painful. Through Wei Baolin's introduction, he knew that Qin Hai was also opposed to changing the production of washing machines, but he never expected that Qin Hai's comments on this matter coincided with his own.

"Tell me, why are you messing around?" Ning Zhongying took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it for himself. When he put the cigarette case back on the coffee table, he hesitated for a moment, then held up the cigarette case and said to Qin Hai: "Do you know how to smoke?"

"Thank you, Director Ning, I won't." Qin Hai replied.

Ning Mo really wanted to say that he would smoke, but he knew that if he said that, he would definitely be greeted not with a cigarette, but with a scolding. Ning Zhongying knew about Ning Mo's smoking, but if he wanted Ning Zhongying to let Ning Mo smoke, he had to wait for the sun to come out from the west.

"Tell me, why is it a nonsense to switch to a washing machine?" Ning Zhongying took a deep breath and asked Qin Haifa again.

Qin Haidao: "With the improvement of people's living standards, light industrial products, especially household appliances, will inevitably usher in a period of adjustment and development. On this point, Director Wei and the others are not wrong."

"Yes." Ning Zhongying nodded.

"However, our factory is not the only one who can see this. In the past two days, I took the time to go to the reading room to read the old newspapers. In the past three months alone, the newly launched color power plants disclosed in the newspapers have There are seven, twelve washing machine factories, and various refrigerator and motorcycle companies.

In addition, it is understood that in addition to the original washing machine factory in Hongze, the four cities of Dingcheng, Cenzhou, Liangguan, and Tunliu in our province are planning to build washing machine factories. Some of them have already imported production lines from abroad, and soon Can be put into production. Washing machines are indeed a commodity in short supply, but with so many companies entering the market at the same time, the impact must be enormous.

I estimate that within a year at most, there will be an oversupply in the washing machine market, small brands and low-quality brands will be eliminated, and well-known brands will have to compete for consumers by lowering prices. Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory has no brand awareness in the consumer goods market, and lacks experience in quality control of assembly line production. At this time, blindly getting involved in such competition is bound to be bad luck. "

Qin Hai straightened out all the issues he had considered in the past two days, which was much more complete than what he casually said to Wang Xiaochen that day.

"These are all your own thoughts?" Ning Zhongying was a little surprised. Naturally, some aspects of Qin Hai's analysis are still questionable, but as an 18-year-old young worker, it is already a big achievement to think about things to this extent. It's not easy. As for the logic of his speech and the precision of his words, they were not on the list of Ning Zhongying's attention for a while.

Qin Haidao: "Some things I figured out on my own, and some were said by experts in the newspapers. Since last year, the scale of infrastructure construction in various places has suddenly increased, which has brought about a serious shortage of infrastructure raw materials such as steel and cement. The investment in light industry is too high. , leading to gaps in raw materials for various products. Some economic experts appealed in newspapers to control the current excessive investment and implement a soft landing.

According to my guess, if our factory wants to switch to washing machines, the pressure on the infrastructure alone will be difficult to overcome. Even if the production line can be established, the procurement of various raw materials will get us stuck. "

"You are very thoughtful!" Ning Zhongying said in an affirmative tone.

"Thank you, Director Ning, for your praise." Qin Hai responded.

Ning Zhongying was very satisfied with Qin Hai's performance. A young worker, knowledgeable and responsible, didn't get carried away after being praised. He hadn't seen a talent of this level for many years. He turned his head and said to Tranquility: "Xiao Jing, what are you doing sitting there, you don't know how to pour Xiao Qin a glass of water."

Tranquility stood up, put her mouth to Ning Zhongying's ear, and whispered, "Dad, let me cut a watermelon for Qin Hai to eat, okay?"

"Go, let's go." Ning Zhongying laughed. He was indeed a talented young man, and everyone loved him. Even his own little daughter had a crush on this young man, and she even offered to cut watermelon to entertain Qin Hai.

People in Pingyuan buy watermelons in summer in batches of ten or twenty at a time, and store them all in a cool place under the bed. When they want to eat, they just roll out and cut them. Tranquility dragged Ning Mo into the room, and after a while, Ning Mo came out holding a large watermelon weighing more than ten kilograms. He took the watermelon to the kitchen and washed it with tap water, and then Ning Jing personally cut the watermelon, put it in a washbasin and brought it to the living room.

"Come on, Qin Hai, this is for you." Tranquility picked out a large piece of watermelon with a smile, and handed it to Qin Hai first, then sent one piece to Ning Zhongying, and then put two pieces on a plate , to the back room to send to mother Song Yulan. Knowing that Ning Zhongying and Qin Hai were talking about work issues, Song Yulan had only come out to meet Qin Hai for a face-to-face before going back to the back room to watch the bloody TV series she had been chasing.

Qin Hai observed with great interest the order in which Tranquility distributed the watermelons, and a word came to mind for no reason, called "girls are extroverted"...

Uh, fuck, this girl is only 16 years old, alright, Qin Hai slapped himself in the heart.

Seeing Ning Zhongying admiring Qin Hai, Ning Mo was in a very happy mood. He picked a piece of watermelon himself, and while gnawing on it, he said to Qin Hai: "Qin Hai, eat it, there's still under the bed, I'll cut another one after eating."

"I'm not tripe..." Qin Hai was speechless. A watermelon weighed more than ten catties, how could a few people like them be able to finish it?

"Xiao Qin, you said that Qingfeng Factory's switch to washing machines is more ominous than good, but now the farm tool market is also shrinking, and the sales of our factory's farm tools are getting worse and worse. According to your opinion, what should Qingfeng Factory do to bring it back to life? ?”

Ning Zhongying casually asked Qin Hai while eating watermelon.
