My 1979

"Master Yuan, otherwise, you sit down first. Even if you are in a hurry, we have to have lunch. Let's talk about it after lunch, okay?" Seeing He Fang's confusion, Li He came out and intervened.

"Yes, Master Yuan, I'm going to cook first. If anything happens, we'll talk about it later." He Fang was relieved and went to cook with the old lady.

"That's OK." Yuan Lei took out an unopened pack of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it, handed it to Li He and said, "Shall we smoke?"

"Hey, Beidaihe? This cigarette is good." Li He also only smoked it once, but the taste was still good. "Drink tea."

"Brother, what's your surname?" Yuan Lei stood there, neither sitting nor standing, feeling very uncomfortable.

"My surname is Li, just call me Lao Li." Li He was afraid that the other party would call him Xiao Lizi again.

"I remember Teacher He said, you are also a teacher, right? I'd better call you Teacher Li." Yuan Lei was a little speechless when he called a young man Lao Li.

Li He smiled nonchalantly, "Whatever, it's just a title anyway, whatever you want is fine."

"Teacher Li, please help me to persuade Teacher He. Our factory lacks a leader like Teacher He." Yuan Lei mentioned the old words again.

Li He asked, "You have to be a big factory with 300 people, right? This can be considered a medium-sized enterprise after all, with an annual revenue of tens of millions. It's not like you said you can't even pay wages, right?"

At least there is a saying that it is stiff but not dead. This scenery has not lasted long, why did it collapse all of a sudden?

He really didn't understand.

Yuan Lei blushed and said in embarrassment, "It would be great if we could earn 10 million a year. We wouldn't be in this situation. In the best year, we only earned 3 million, leaving aside miscellaneous expenses. , only about 400,000 is in hand. If there is still business in the past, it will be eating and drinking, and you can wake up from your dreams with laughter. But the market is not good now, and it is about to enter winter, so the radiator is very useful. At that time, there was no sales, no matter how we treated guests and gave gifts to find sales, the situation was still a mess."

Li He said, "Does that mean your products are worse than others?"

Yuan Lei shook his head and said confidently, "Our products are all designed by Teacher He himself. Only if the market imitates ours, they are definitely no worse than other people's products. Moreover, most of the radiators are made of cast iron. The products of each factory are similar. The main difference lies in the process. Due to its thin wall and complex shape, the entire process is very difficult. Even if there are casting technicians with many years of experience, scrap products will inevitably occur.

It’s not that I, Lao Wang, am boasting about selling melons. I have been a casting apprentice since I was 16 years old and have been in this industry for 40 years. If there is any moisture in this craft, you can chop off my head and kick it like a ball!

Moreover, there is almost no adulteration in our products, and the materials used are also very thick. "

"Master Yuan, I trust your craftsmanship. You made the radiators we use at home, and they are still in good condition." Li He couldn't figure it out either.

But I still have confidence in this old man's craftsmanship.

He Fang finished the meal and brought it over directly.

"Drink a little." Li He opened a bottle of Maotai.

"Oh, this is so embarrassing." Yuan Lei took the cup in a hurry. What he brought was not enough for someone to pour a bottle of wine.

At the wine table, he talked to He Fang about the factory again.

He Fang said, "Master Yuan, I really want to say that the current products of your factory are really not up to standard."

Yuan Lei said anxiously, "Teacher He, can you still trust my craftsmanship?"

He Fang smiled and said, "Master Yuan, it's not that I can't trust you. This radiator factory is mass-produced. How much can you do alone? Even if I didn't go to see it, I can guess that your scrap rate is definitely not low, and now Many large manufacturers use seamless steel pipes, but you are still using seamed steel pipes. On the surface, they all look similar, but in fact, the gap is huge."

Most of the waste products are caused by blisters and cracks. A radiator worth 20 to 30 yuan becomes a waste product just because of a small blister or a thin crack.

Yuan Lei wanted to continue talking, but He Fang waved her hand and continued, "Moreover, your products have actually not improved at all in the past two years, and you are still resting on your laurels. The problem of contact thermal resistance has not been solved so far, and it is only covered up on the surface. It’s just a layer of tin skin.”

"What is contact thermal resistance?" Yuan Lei didn't understand technical things at all. He did everything based on experience. He knew it but didn't know why. At this time, he blushed even more, but then he slapped the table and got excited. He said, "Teacher He, I knew it was right to come to you!"

He Fang shook her head, "Master Yuan, you are really making things difficult for me. Look, I have two children at home. The younger one can't live without others, and the older one is still in elementary school. I really don't have that time. But I But I can give you some advice."

Yuan Lei said hurriedly, "Teacher He, I know you are busy, but you just take pity on us. There are hundreds of people in the factory waiting to eat. Besides, Teacher He, we don't need you to be there all day, you are a general, There is no need to charge into battle, you just need to go there occasionally and show us the way! We will do what you say!"

He Fang smiled bitterly, and after finishing the meal, she had no choice but to coax Yuan Lei away first.

When she went to bed at night, she tossed and turned in bed unable to sleep.

Li He smiled and asked, "Are you excited?"

"What?"

"Want to go out and do something?" Li He turned over and hugged her.

"Where is the time?" He Fang shook her head.

"How can I still not understand you?" Li He said with a smile, "If you really want to do something, I won't stop you. Didn't I tell you that you don't need to stay there permanently? You can just go there occasionally."

He was actually opposed to He Fang going out to work before, but now he has changed his mind. If he keeps the old ladies at home, it will be purely a delay.

Of course, he also mentioned letting her join his family's business, but He Fangzhen disagreed. It always meant that she was dependent, which was not her original intention.

He Fang said, "It is a matter of loyalty to others when you are entrusted by others. How can you do it if you are like that?"

Li He said, "Then you think clearly, at least I'm at home."

The couple were discussing this matter, but He Fang never made up his mind, and no one mentioned it again.

But what was unexpected was that a week later, Yuan Lei came again.

Looking at the large truck at the entrance of the alley, the couple was speechless for a moment.

Seven or eight people from the entire radiator factory's cadres came, all looking eager.

"What? Are you taking my daughter with you?"

When he heard that He Fang was going to Jizhou, Li He was not surprised. After all, this woman had great career ambitions, but he was not happy to bring his daughter there!

He Fang explained, "I don't feel comfortable leaving it at home at such a young age."

Li He said angrily, "It's just because I'm young that I don't feel at ease following you."
