Material Empire

Hearing Xiang Jiyong say "the last bit of conscience", Xiao Dongping's tears fell down.

Yes, they endured so hard, isn't it because their conscience is still in their hearts? Wei Baolin tossed the company like this, the county ignored it, the workers and cadres cursed behind their backs, but flattered Wei Baolin, Zhai Jianguo and others in front of each other, everyone thought the same thing: none of my business!

However, a few of them—Xiang Jiyong, Xiao Dongping, Leng Yuming, by the way, and Qin Hai, who just arrived and didn't know the depth of the water, was still struggling to figure out how to save the factory. Why bother?

If they are willing to follow the crowd and mess around with Wei Baolin, based on their positions, where can they not be better than they are now? Isn't Zhai Jianguo, a bastard, just because he follows Wei Baolin closely now? No matter how poor the leader is, no matter how hard it is, the organization will never suffer. In such a large factory, if there is a leak in any place, it is enough for a few middle-level cadres to moisten their stomachs.

But, conscience... this kind of thing is so annoying, you clearly know that it is harmful but not beneficial, just like an appendix, but you just can't cut it off cruelly, you can only let it stay in your body Here, it will flare up from time to time, making you feel heartbroken in pain, making life worse than death.

Seeing Xiao Dongping's tears, Wei Baolin was also a little sentimental, he sighed and said:

"Hey, old Xiang...Old Xiao, I understand your feelings for Qingfeng Factory. I am also from Qingfeng Factory. I also started as an ordinary worker. In terms of feelings, I am no worse than you. We do The things are the same. They all want to save the factory, but the methods are different. You are doing specific business, and I am the head of a factory, and everyone has a different perspective. Regarding the benefits of switching to washing machines, I have already said at the meeting I have learned a lot, so I don’t need to talk about it here. Old Xiang, Lao Xiao, forget about this matter, let’s work together and look forward.”

"Director Wei, Lao Xiang just said that we support the decision-making in the factory. We are just discussing the facts. The provincial agricultural materials company has agreed to accept these blades. The price is 2 yuan and 5 pieces, provided that we are responsible for all The blade is surfacing. We have mastered this technology. Lao Xiang and Lao Leng have studied it. Just install a set of automatic fixtures to solve the problem. By the way, Director Wei, look, this is from the agricultural materials company. Order form." Xiao Dongping said, and took out the purchase intention certificate written by Lin Anbao from his handbag, he did not expect that this certificate would be effective so quickly.

Wei Baolin didn't go to pick up the certificate. He shook his head and said, "The matter of switching to the washing machine is urgent. Now the whole factory must focus on it, and all other things must give way. Don't worry about the blade. We have discussed it, you are all the heads of important departments in the factory, from now on, you must put your mind on the washing machine project."

"I won't be the head of the production section anymore." Xiang Jiyong shook his head and said disheartenedly.

"Who allowed you to be inappropriate!"

A voice sounded beside him. All the people present had not yet seen anyone, and they trembled in unison when they heard the voice. They turned their heads together and saw the old factory manager Ning Zhongying standing beside the truck with a sinking face, looking up and down the goods on the truck. It was he who said that sentence just now.

"Factory Director Ning!" Xiang Jiyong and Xiao Dongping shouted out loudly. At this moment, the feelings in their hearts were mixed like that of a child who has been wronged by his stepmother when he sees his own mother.

Xiang Jiyong and Xiao Dongping felt such a strong sense of helplessness just now, largely due to Ning Zhongying's indifference to various affairs in the factory in the past two years. When Wei Baolin first came to power, when Xiang Jiyong and others disagreed with Wei Baolin's decision, they would instinctively go to Ning Zhongying to complain. But every time Ning Zhongying listened carefully, but refused to comment. Sometimes, Xiang Jiyong and the others persuaded Ning Zhongying to negotiate with Wei Baolin, but Ning Zhongying just said: not in his position, not seeking his own government.

After a long time, Xiang Jiyong and the others gave up their hearts. They felt that Ning Zhongying's move was also the act of a smart person. I have already relegated to the second line, so what is the benefit of offending the current factory director? The fact that the factory is running better than in the past proves that you were incompetent in the past, and you are looking for scolding yourself. The factory is worse than in the past, and your treatment is also a lot of money, so what does it matter to you?

On the surface, Wei Baolin seemed to have great respect for Ning Zhongying, which was also based on the fact that Ning Zhongying didn't meddle in other people's business. If Ning Zhongying was in trouble with Wei Baolin all day long, wouldn't Wei Baolin give Ning Zhongying a little bit? Are you having a hard time? At the very least, Ning Zhongying's son was still working as a worker in the factory, and he had a lot of problems. Wei Baolin couldn't deal with Ning Zhongying, so if he found something wrong with Ning Mo, wouldn't it be equivalent to slapping Ning Zhongying in the face?

Just now, both Xiang Jiyong and Xiao Dongping thought that only Ning Zhongying stepped forward to reverse the current situation, and at least save the 20,000 blades. However, this idea disappeared in a flash in their minds, and they all teased themselves in their hearts: old man Ning is living a carefree life now, so why should he come out to offend others?

However, the more hopeless things appeared, the more they appeared. On such an occasion where Ning Zhongying should never have appeared, they actually saw Ning Zhongying. Ning Zhongying's sentence "Who allowed you to be inappropriate" just now was full of domineering, allowing Xiang Jiyong and Xiao Dongping to find the happy feeling when they were reprimanded by Ning Zhongying a few years ago.

"Old factory manager, why are you here?" Wei Baolin shuddered, stepped forward, and asked Ning Zhongying.

Ning Zhongying ignored Wei Baolin, and just asked the salesman of the township enterprise, "What's on your car?"

"Rotary tillage blade." The salesman replied.

"What are you pulling?" Ning Zhongying asked again.

"You care?" The salesman contradicted angrily. He didn't want to offend people from Qingfeng Factory, but the question Ning Zhongying asked was a little sensitive, so he naturally didn't want to answer it.

The township enterprise purchased the blades with the intention of reselling them. The blades of Qingfeng Factory are unqualified, and the service life is only more than 400 mu, which is equivalent to about two-thirds of qualified blades. But if such a blade is sold at half price, someone will definitely want it. The price of rotary cultivator blades on the market is more than 2 yuan. They bought them from Qingfeng Factory for 20 cents, and then sold them at a price of more than 1 yuan. A good thing, how can you tell people clearly?

Hearing what the salesman said, Wei Baolin knew that something was wrong. How could Ning Zhongying's strong character tolerate such a provocation. Without waiting for Ning Zhongying to explode, he hurried forward and said, "Old factory manager, these blades are all substandard products and have been returned by the provincial agricultural materials company. They took these blades away mainly to return them to the furnace for smelting steel." .”

"Is that so?" Ning Zhongying stared at the salesman and asked forcefully.

The salesman was a little guilty, so naturally he didn't dare to answer directly. He heard Wei Baolin call Ning Zhongying the "old factory director", so he could more or less guess Ning Zhongying's identity. In the past few years, state-owned enterprises have been changing leaders. The former leaders who were still in their posts in their fifties or even sixties have all retreated to the second line, and they are replaced by young people like Wei Baolin. Based on the experience of this salesman, such leaders who retreat to the second line are generally considered to be phoenixes, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

"What do we do with it, can you control it?" the salesman said.

Ning Zhongying smiled coldly, and said, "Your car is a product from Qingfeng Factory, so of course I can handle it."

"You're not the factory manager!" said the salesman.

Ning Zhongying turned her head to Xiang Jiyong, and said, "Xiang Jiyong, what are you doing standing here? Go find a few workers, unload all the goods on the car, and send out a box. I'm the only one asking!"

"Okay!" Xiang Jiyong was full of energy. When he turned around and was about to leave, he thought of something again, and quickly reminded him: "Director Ning, be careful. Once I leave, they may get in the car and run away."

Ning Zhongying waved his hand and said to Xiang Jiyong like chasing flies, "Get out, I still need you to teach me."

After all, he didn't care about Wei Baolin, whose face was black as if it was about to rain, and directly ordered Ma Darong: "Ma Darong, go and close the gate, you two, guard this car, if you let the car leave the factory for half a step, You just wait to be fired."

Ma Darong and several security officers looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to. The current factory manager is standing next to him, and the old factory manager is giving orders there, as if no one else is there. Should he listen or not?

It stands to reason that Ning Zhongying has already retreated to the second line, and everyone should not listen to his orders. But Ning Zhongying's influence in Qingfeng Factory is really too great, a dead Zhuge can scare away a living Zhongda, Ma Darong and the others really dare not disobey Ning Zhongying's words.

"Director Wei, look..." Ma Darong asked Wei Baolin for advice with a sad face, but the cadres around him really took a step forward, replacing Xiang Jiyong who had already left, and blocked the way of the truck.

Wei Baolin walked up to Ning Zhongying with a grimace, and said holding back his anger, "Old factory director, what do you mean by that?"

Ning Zhongying chuckled and said, "Director Wei, I'm not the director of the factory anymore, I'm the director of the factory's research office. You'd better call me Director Ning."

Wei Baolin still swallowed his anger and said: "Old factory director, I know that you don't agree with the decision to change the production of washing machines, but this decision was collectively made by the factory director's office meeting, please understand."

"What if I refuse to understand?" Ning Zhongying replied with a half-smile.
