Reborn Industrial Tycoon

After drinking and eating, Liu Xueqin sent a car to take Li Weidong and Zhao Hu back to the guest house.

"This Hongxing Factory is really amazing. A sales director can dispatch a car. It's not like our company. Secretary Yu only switched to a car last year. Before that, he used a Beijing Jeep." Zhao Hu couldn't help but sigh.

stand up.

"In a small place like ours, even county-level cadres would ride in jeeps! If we were not a company specializing in transportation, Secretary Yu might not be able to ride in a car," Li Weidong said with a smile.

Zhao Hu took the teacup, made two cups of tea, handed one to Li Weidong, and then said: "I mean, Li Weidong, I really didn't see it, you lied without blushing."

"Lying?" Li Weidong was slightly stunned.

"Are you related to Shanghai Automobile? You've never even seen the Huangpu River, right? I'm embarrassed to expose you." Zhao Hu curled his lips.

Zhao Hu is also a son of a transportation company. We all grew up in the same compound and must know each other well. Of course he knows that Li Weidong has no personal connections at SAIC.

In the family homes of state-owned enterprises in the 1980s, how many relatives did each family have, whether the relatives were from rural areas or cities, which unit the relatives worked in, how many children the relatives had, whether the children of the relatives had found a partner, and the children of the relatives.

Where the person you are looking for works is all public information.

Li Weidong burped and then said: "If I don't say so, can Liu Xueqin return the goods to us?"

"How are you going to explain the lie to Liu Xueqin that the raw materials are damp? When they went back to check, they found that the materials were not damp at all. What will we do then?" Zhao Hu then asked.

"Don't worry, the raw materials of the Red Star Factory are indeed affected by moisture." Li Weidong said firmly.

In his previous life, Li Weidong had his bonus deducted for three months because of substandard product quality at the Red Star Factory. It was also for this reason that later when the Red Star Factory was criticized in a notice, Li Weidong paid special attention to the content of the notice and read it many times in a row.

It can be said that the memory is still fresh.

The story begins in July, when a strong typhoon made landfall. Pingzhou City, where the Red Star Factory is located, although not a coastal city, is only more than 200 kilometers away from the sea, so it was naturally affected by the typhoon.

The typhoon broke the roof of the raw material warehouse of Hongxing Factory. The warehouse administrator was also very responsible and carried out emergency repairs in the rain to repair the roof of the warehouse. Due to the timely repair, there was no water accumulation in the raw material warehouse and the raw materials were not damaged, but some

Get damp.

Precisely because the raw materials were not damaged, the warehouse did not tell the production workshop about this matter. The production workshop did not know that the raw materials had been damp, so they took them directly for production. Therefore, the products produced by the Red Star Factory after July use all

Damp raw materials.

According to past experience, it is not a big deal for raw materials to get damp. These damp raw materials can be used to produce products such as tires and will not affect the use at all. The gaskets and rubber rings used to produce engines will only cause unstable idling of the car.

But the car can still be driven.

However, the Red Star Factory used this batch of damp raw materials to provide Santana with domestically produced parts. The German standards were much higher than those of domestic companies, so the Red Star Factory's products were deemed unqualified.

A few months ago, the parts samples provided by the Red Star Factory to SAIC were qualified, but now the mass-produced parts are not qualified, which is a slap in the face of Santana's localization.

The Red Star Factory itself did not live up to expectations. It took more than two months to find out the reason for the unqualified product quality. By that time, in 1985, the joint venture company of SAIC-Volkswagen was officially established.

Perhaps it was to scare other companies, or perhaps it was to help SAIC-Volkswagen establish its authority in the industry. Unfortunately, the Red Star Factory became a negative example and was reported to the entire industry.

The localization of Santana was a key national project, and the leaders who were directly or indirectly involved in this project at that time were all extraordinary people. Even if the Red Star Factory was a national second-level enterprise, it could only be the chicken that was killed.

Now, with the rebirth of Li Weidong, all this has changed. The Red Star Factory learned immediately that the raw materials were damp, causing the product quality to fail.

The matter of repairing the roof of the warehouse is easy to verify. After Liu Xueqin returned to the Red Star Factory, he immediately inquired about the warehouse. After learning that the typhoon broke the roof of the warehouse, he knew that what Li Weidong said was true. The raw materials of the Red Star Factory were indeed

Got damp.

Liu Xueqin did not hesitate, and immediately went to see the director of the Red Star Factory, and then made a fuss about it, saying that the damaged roof of the warehouse and the damp materials were his own discovery, and he took all the credit for it.

The next thing is the technical department. The technical department of Hongxing Factory worked overtime all night and finally determined that the product quality was not up to standard and it was caused by the moisture in the raw materials.

For Red Star Factory, this was obviously a loophole in its own management, but for Liu Xueqin, it was a great contribution.

Another beneficiary is of course Li Weidong.

…

In the guest house of the Red Star Rubber Factory, Liu Xueqin once again invited guests to dinner. This time the dishes were still sumptuous, and the wine was changed from Gujinggong to Maotai.

Moutai was brought by Liu Xueqin himself. As the sales section chief of Red Star Factory, he would naturally not accept less gifts such as tobacco, wine, and tea. However, Liu Xueqin could not receive more than a few bottles of Moutai as an expensive gift in a year.

, this time he was willing to take out a bottle of Maotai liquor to entertain Li Weidong, which was considered a huge investment.

"Brother Li, it's really thanks to you this time that our factory was able to find the reason for the substandard product quality so quickly. Come on, let me toast you." Liu Xueqin picked up the wine glass with a smile.

"Brother Liu is so polite. We are all friends and we should help each other." Li Weidong took a sip of Moutai. The wine had a mellow aroma and tasted really great.

Liu Xueqin put down his wine glass and continued: "Brother Li, when I reported to the factory leaders, I didn't mention your relationship with Steam. I was mainly worried that the factory leaders would ask questions. Speaking of which, this matter is really a bit embarrassing.

you."

Liu Xueqin's subtext is that he takes all the credit on himself. This is to explain to Li Weidong, and at the same time, he hopes that Li Weidong will not expose this weapon.

Of course Li Weidong understood what Liu Xueqin meant. He smiled nonchalantly, and then said politely: "After all, this is your Red Star Factory's business. I am just an outsider. If Brother Liu doesn't mention me when he reports, that's no good."

It’s great, it saves everyone some trouble.”

Liu Xueqin's face lit up. He immediately took out a note from his arms, handed it to Li Weidong, and said, "Brother Li, this is the tire you want. When the time comes, take this bill of lading and go directly to our factory to hand it over."

Just pay to pick up the goods.”

Li Weidong took the bill of lading and looked at the number on it. It turned out to be 250 tires.

Previously, Li Weidong only asked for 200 tires, but Liu Xueqin approved 250. The extra 50 tires were obviously an extra favor from Liu Xueqin.

"Liu Xueqin, as expected of the sales section chief, is quite good at getting things done. He gave me 50 more tires, which can be regarded as hush money for me. But the number two hundred and five doesn't sound good."

While thinking about it, Li Weidong raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Liu. I wish Brother Liu a better future."

"I accept your good advice." Liu Xueqin said with a smile on his face.

For middle-level cadres of state-owned enterprises, taking the next step and becoming a member of the leadership team is probably their ultimate goal.
