Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong is not a person who gives up easily. Since this method doesn't work, he can only find another way.

Now it seems that there is no problem with the bank. After all, the bank is the biggest beneficiary of this matter. In order to recover the loan principal of 10 million, an additional 20 million loan tasks can be completed every year. The bank will definitely

Full support.

The leaders should have no objection. The leaders must be very clear that it is impossible to repay the 20 million yuan debt of Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory. The current Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory has insufficient profitability and still owes a lot of debt. It is obviously a hot potato.

, being able to get rid of this hot potato is a dream.

The key lies in the Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory itself, especially the leadership team of the Agricultural Machinery Factory headed by Zhao Zitian.

Whether the bank takes over the Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory or Li Weidong takes over the Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory, Zhao Zhitian is the one who suffers the most. At the very least, his position as the factory director cannot be saved. The new boss cannot let Zhao Zhitian continue to be the factory director.

.

This is like the change of dynasty. After the ministers surrender, they can be reinstated. Some of you can even be promoted step by step. But if the monarch surrenders, it is absolutely impossible to continue to sit in the original position and be an An Le Gong like Liu Adou.

This is already the best result.

Therefore, in order to protect his own interests, Zhao Zitian will also try his best to prevent Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory from being taken away by the bank.

"If I were the director of Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory, I wouldn't agree!" Li Weidong couldn't help but sigh.

Although the current Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory is heavily in debt and struggling in business, it can only be regarded as terminally ill, but it is not completely dead yet.

Moreover, the state's subsidies to the agricultural machinery industry are like a life-extending elixir, hanging on to the last breath of Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory. From time to time, a subsidy, although not much, can allow Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory to continue to survive for a while.

This kind of "it seems like it can still be saved" situation is the most troublesome. It is definitely impossible to pull it out and bury it directly. After all, there is still a breath of life, but if you spend all your efforts to save it, you may not be able to survive.

"How about we wait a little longer? Anyway, many state-owned enterprises will not be able to survive in the next few years. Given the situation of Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory, it probably won't be able to withstand it for long either!"

Li Weidong couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"It seems like there is a market today. The town should be very lively. Let's go out for a walk! Maybe if you wake up, you can find a solution!" Thinking of this, Li Weidong left the factory directly and walked to the market on foot.

The rural market was still very lively, selling everything. Li Weidong was not short of anything, so he walked to the ramen stall and said, "Bring me late ramen for one yuan!"

The ramen guy at the ramen stall knows Li Weidong because every time Li Weidong comes here, he eats ramen worth one yuan. You don’t meet such a rich person in a day, so the ramen guy is naturally deeply impressed by Li Weidong.

At the rural market at that time, only the rich could afford ramen for one dollar!

In other people's ramen, dried tofu is used in the marinade. At most, eating an egg will improve your life. For ramen worth one yuan, the marinade must be filled with several pieces of stewed meat. It is so shiny that it makes people drool just looking at it.

The ramen man's craftsmanship is very good, and the noodle stall's business is also booming. The small table set up next to it is full of people, and many diners simply squat on the ground to eat noodles with bowls in their hands.

Just as someone finished eating his noodles, a seat became available, and Li Weidong sat there.

As soon as Li Weidong sat down, a man dressed as a farmer next to him immediately picked up the bowl, stopped sitting on the bench and went to the back to squat and eat.

Li Weidong looked at the farmer with some surprise and thought, why is this person hiding from me?

The farmer smiled honestly, showing his big yellow teeth, and then said to Li Weidong, "I'm dirty, don't make your clothes dirty."

"So I'm giving up my seat!" Thinking of this, Li Weidong smiled at the other party: "If your clothes are dirty, just wash them. Come sit and eat, it's okay!"

"It's different. It's not easy to wash. If it gets on your clothes, you can't even rub it off." The farmer pointed to the dark things on his body and arms.

Li Weidong took a look and saw that the farmer's body was not stained with dust, but something like grease, so he asked: "Brother, what did you get on your body? Why does it look like oil!"

"It's oil, but I don't know what kind of oil it is. Anyway, it's sprayed from the tractor." The farmer said.

"Diesel is not like this, this should be engine oil." Li Weidong was afraid that the farmers would not know what engine oil was, so he explained: "It is used for lubrication. It is not easy to wash this thing directly with water. You can soak it in vinegar first, or

Wipe it with a towel dipped in wine."

"So this is how it is washed, teacher, thank you!" the farmer said thanks.

He probably thought that Li Weidong knew a lot and was well-dressed, so he must be a cultural person, so he directly called him "teacher".

Li Weidong then asked: "Brother, what are you doing? Why are you covered in engine oil?"

"Forget it, the tractor is broken!" The farmer put down the chopsticks in his hands and continued: "Isn't this the market? I drove the tractor and brought the vegetables I grew at home to sell. It turned out that the tractor was broken, so I just put it in gear.

I won’t leave. I spent most of the day repairing it but still couldn’t fix it. Instead, I got myself all dirty.”

"Then what are you going to do?" Li Weidong asked again.

"I just went to the Agricultural Machinery Institute in town. The people from the Agricultural Machinery Institute came over to look at it and said it was a clutch problem, but they couldn't repair it. They had to go to the county to find someone to come and repair it. The people from the county Agricultural Machinery Institute didn't know when.

If I can get there, if I can’t, I’ll spend the night in the car!” the farmer said.

"Brother, how about this? After I finish eating, I will go over and help you take a look." Li Weidong said.

"Can you repair the tractor?" the farmer asked subconsciously.

"Yes, I used to specialize in repairing cars!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

After eating the noodles quickly, Li Weidong followed the farmer and found the broken tractor.

Li Weidong took one look and knew it was a Dongfanghong small four-wheel tractor, the most popular one in the 1990s.

Since it was a clutch problem, Li Weidong went up to check the clutch. After removing the clutch three times, five times and two times, Li Weidong discovered that the clutch release bearing was damaged.

"The clutch bearings of this small four-wheel tractor are all sealed one-way bearings, which can withstand small axial thrust. But why does this clutch release bearing have no separation clearance?

In this case, the release bearing will rotate with the release lever. Once used, the release bearing will definitely heat up. If it runs for a long time, the release bearing will also cause damage.

Ordinarily, this kind of problem should not occur, because this kind of situation is usually caused by improper adjustment of the separation shaft. Manufacturers that can produce four-wheel tractors should not make this kind of mistake!"

Thinking of this, Li Weidong looked at the damaged clutch release shaft, carefully touched the damaged area, and found that some of the damage seemed to have occurred for a long time.

So he asked: "Brother, has your tractor ever had a similar situation before?"

The old farmer nodded: "It happened a few times, but it got better after I put it in gear again."

"I understand that the cause of the fault is not improper adjustment of the clutch release shaft, but because the clutch has been worn out, so the original separation clearance cannot be maintained."

Now that he found the cause of the fault, Li Weidong told the farmer bluntly: "Brother, this thing is called the clutch release shaft. It's because this thing is damaged that your tractor failed to shift into gear, and it couldn't start."

It'll be fine if you change it now."

The farmer nodded: "It turns out this thing is broken. I wonder if there are any parts in the agricultural machinery station."

Li Weidong then said: "Brother, this tractor of yours must have been used for a few years, otherwise the clutch release shaft would not have been worn out."

Li Weidong said, glanced at the tractor, and then frowned.

The tractor is covered with mud, so it's hard to tell whether it's new or old, but the texture on the tractor's wheels is relatively new.

"The tires are quite new. Are they just replaced?" Li Weidong looked at the steering wheel and gear knob again and found that they were also very new.

"This is still a relatively new tractor!" Li Weidong did not expect that his previous judgment was wrong.

Any mechanical equipment will inevitably wear out after being used for a long time. For things like vehicles, after driving for a certain number of years, the tires will be almost worn out. At this time, the tires need to be replaced. But things like steering wheels and gear knobs,

But there is no need to replace it.

Therefore, many second-hand car experts can judge the age of the vehicle through the wear and tear of the steering wheel, gear knob and seats, and whether the odometer has been changed. After driving 200,000 power and 20,000 kilometers, the wear and tear of the steering wheel can be completely

Different.

Li Weidong previously thought that the tractor must have been driven for some years, so the clutch release shaft was worn out. However, when he saw that the steering wheel and gear handle were almost brand new, he instantly realized that this must have been done recently.

I just bought a tractor.

Sure enough, the farmer man said: "I only bought this tractor three months ago!"

"Three months? Why did the clutch release shaft wear out like this?" Li Weidong was a little confused.

"Ordinarily, the clutch separation shaft cannot wear out so quickly, unless the quality of the separation shaft is not up to standard and it is a defective product! How can the quality control of Dongfanghong tractor be so poor? In my impression, the tractor of Yituo

, the quality is quite good!”

Li Weidong subconsciously looked at the side of the tractor, but did not see the trademark of Dongfanghong Tractor.

"Brother, you tore off the trademark of Dongfanghong Tractor!" Li Weidong said.

The farmer was stunned and said, "This is not Dongfanghong's tractor!"

"Not a Dongfanghong tractor? The appearance is the same. I thought it was a Dongfanghong tractor. After a long time of arguing, it was a knockoff! Not to mention, the appearance looks really similar! At first glance, I couldn't tell that it was a knockoff.

!Since it is a counterfeit product, it makes sense if the parts are defective.”

Li Weidong looked at the copycat Dongfanghong tractor, and then asked: "Brother, where did you buy this tractor? It looks like a Dongfanghong tractor, but the quality is several notches behind."

."

"I bought this at the county agricultural technology station. It is said to be a Venus tractor. I heard it was made by the agricultural machinery factory in our district!" the farmer replied.

"This is the tractor made by Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory! I heard that they have a small four-wheel tractor production line. It turns out that it is a copycat of Dongfanghong!"

Li Weidong looked at the worn clutch release shaft in his hand, and then asked: "Brother, do you have any other minor problems with your tractor?"

"A small problem? Let me think about it." The farmer brother lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "The brakes always make a squeaking noise when I step on the brakes. Is this a minor problem?"

"Forget it, of course it does!" Li Weidong nodded: "Is it similar to the sound of debris colliding?"

"Absolutely." The old farmer replied.

"This is the brake drum making abnormal noise. Let me help you disassemble it and take a look!" Li Weidong said, picking up the tool and starting to disassemble the brake drum.

"Why is this brake shoe return spring so soft? There are also signs of burnt damage to the brake drum!"

Li Weidong looked at the dismantled brake drum. He checked whether there was any sand inside. When he found that there was no sand, he knew that the quality of the friction plate joint was too poor, which caused the brake drum to burn.

It caused abnormal noise from the brake drum.

"Sure enough, the workmanship level is still not up to standard!"

Li Weidong said, pointing to the burned area of ​​the brake drum and showing it to the farmer: "Brother, look, it's all burned here! If you continue to use it, it will probably break soon, and this part needs to be replaced!"

"

When I heard that parts were to be replaced again, the farmer showed a pained expression, obviously he was worried about money.

Li Weidong asked again: "Brother, apart from the abnormal noise of the brake drum, is it still very hot when you touch it?"

The farmer nodded again: "You're right, it's so hot that it'll burn your hands, and you can burn a bag out of your hands!"

"The return spring of the brake shoe is too soft, causing the free stroke of the brake shoe to be almost zero. This not only consumes engine power during driving, but also accelerates the wear of the brake belt, which naturally makes it easy to get hot!" Li Weidong explained.

The farmer brother looked confused, obviously he didn't understand.

Li Weidong had no choice but to point to the brake shoe return spring and said, "It's because the quality of this thing is not up to standard."

Now the farmer brother finally understands.

"Are there any other minor problems?" Li Weidong asked me.

"This tractor often makes strange noises when it is running." The farmer asked next.

"What kind of sound is it?" Li Weidong asked immediately.

"It's like gritting your teeth," the farmer replied.

Li Weidong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then picked up the parts and removed the differential.

"Sure enough, it's the damage rate of the differential! Even the differential can be damaged. The quality is really terrible!" Li Weidong shook his head helplessly.

"Teacher, is this thing broken and needs to be replaced?" the farmer asked with a sad face.

Li Weidong nodded, and the old farmer suddenly looked like he was about to cry without tears.

"This needs to be replaced, and that needs to be replaced. Why am I so unlucky? I can't even make enough money to repair the tractor by selling this cart of vegetables!"

Li Weidong looked at the farmer brother with sympathy, and asked: "Brother, why didn't you buy a Dongfanghong tractor at that time, instead of buying a tractor from this Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory?"

"It's all my fault, I'm greedy for cheap. The tractor from Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory is more than 400 yuan cheaper than Dongfanghong's tractor. It's really cheap but not good. I shouldn't have talked about this small bargain at that time! It's better now, I'm greedy for cheap.

Big loss!"

The old farmer looked sad, and then asked: "Teacher, how much would it cost to replace everything you just mentioned?"

"Brother, I think this is not a matter of replacing parts. There is a problem with the quality of your tractor." Li Weidong said.

"What does that mean?" the farmer asked.

"The awareness is that the entire tractor needs to be replaced!" Li Weidong answered honestly.

The farmer was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Where should I change it?"

"This kind of vehicle quality problem must go to the manufacturer! It is the Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory that produces this tractor!" Li Weidong replied.

The farmer was stunned. He said with a frightened face: "I am just a farmer and I don't know anything. If you ask me to go to the factory to find someone to replace the tractor, I don't dare!"

"That's right. If you go alone, Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory may not pay attention to you!" Li Weidong said.

At this time, Li Weidong not only sympathized with the farmer in front of him, but also felt a surge of anger in his heart.

The income of farmers is not high to begin with. It is not easy to make some money. I don't know how long it will take to save enough money to buy a tractor.

But Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory uses this kind of inferior product to fool the people. Isn't this intentional?

For farmers, this small four-wheel tractor can be used for plowing during the busy farming season and for transportation during the slack farming season. It is almost the entire productivity of the family.

And if you buy a low-quality tractor, you will be either repairing the vehicle or on the way to have it repaired every day. Not to mention recouping the cost, you may lose a year's income by repairing the vehicle.

"It seems that I have to take care of this matter, both public and private! As for the public, since I know that this tractor is an inferior product, I cannot let Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory continue to harm farmers!

Personally speaking, I can just take this opportunity to bring down the Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory and make it completely dead. Then I can naturally acquire the Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory!"

In an instant, Li Weidong had a complete plan in his mind.

Just listen to Li Weidong say: "Brother, don't worry. There is something I have to ask clearly first. Are there many people buying Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory?"

"In the past few months, there were quite a lot, mainly because it was more than 400 yuan cheaper than the Dongfanghong tractor. In our village alone, four families bought it! Recently, there seems to be less." The farmer said.

replied.

Li Weidong nodded, which was consistent with what President Wu described before.

Then Li Weidong asked: "Brother, when you buy Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory tractors, do you buy them from the agricultural machinery station in the district?"

The farmer nodded again: "Four-wheel tractors are more expensive after all, and the agricultural machinery stations in the town don't sell them. The agricultural machinery stations in the town can only sell walking tractors."

"That's easy. There are nine counties and three districts in Qinghe, and there are twelve county-level agricultural machinery stations. Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory should sell tractors through these twelve agricultural machinery stations."

Thinking of this, Li Weidong said; "Brother, don't worry, you are definitely not the only one who buys this kind of tractor, and you are definitely not the only one who has problems, so if you want to go to Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory to return it, you can go together.

There is strength in numbers!”

"But I only know the four families in our village." The farmer said.

"This is easy. There must be purchase records at the agricultural machinery station. You can check it out when the time comes." Li Weidong paused and then said, "Brother, you go home and wait for a while to find someone.

Leave it to me! I will take care of this kind of thing that harms farmers!"

"Are you a cadre?" the farmer asked subconsciously.

"No." Li Weidong shook his head: "I am just a person who loves to fight against injustice!"

…

Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory.

Factory director Zhao Zitian stood in front of the workshop, watching the four-wheel tractors being assembled, with a smile on his face.

"As long as this tractor production line is here, don't even think about taking the factory away from me!" Zhao Zhitian muttered to himself.

Not long ago, leaders in the district came to Zhao Zitian and expressed that the bank was willing to take over the Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory, but Zhao Zitian decisively rejected it.

Zhao Zitian knew very well that if the Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory belonged to the district, he could still continue to be the factory director, but if it was taken over by the bank, then he, the factory director, would definitely leave.

Although the operating situation of Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory is not optimistic and it still owes a lot of debt, the position of the factory director is still very favourable.

You have your own car when you go out, you can sign a note for reimbursement when you eat, and people give you gifts from time to time. These are things that ordinary people cannot enjoy.

As long as the Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory does not close down for one day, Zhao Zitian can continue to enjoy the privileges of the factory director.

Thinking about the debt of more than 20 million, Zhao Zitian felt that it was not a big deal.

Isn't it just interest of more than two million yuan per year? If you default on your arrears, you can pay half of it every year. Besides, the state also provides subsidies to agricultural machinery companies, so agricultural machinery companies can always survive.

As for how long it can last, naturally it can last for one year, and it is best to last for five or six years. Zhao Zitian should also reach the age of retirement. By then, Zhao Zitian can just slap his butt and leave. Can Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory still survive?

If it goes down, it has nothing to do with him.

At this moment, the technical director came over.

"Director, a new problem has arisen. This time, the guide wheels are worn. There are several tractors whose fronts always shake when driving. After inspection, we found that the guide wheels are worn and are about to be scrapped. Those tractors have only been out for three years.

Months, this shows that the quality of our guide wheels is not up to standard." The technical director said.

"I know, just replace the guide wheel with a new one!" Zhao Ziti looked indifferent.

"Director, this is not a problem with the guide wheel. This is because our production process is not up to standard. Even if we replace the guide wheel with a new one, it will still break after three months!"

"Then just replace it and it will last until the warranty period is over!" Zhao Zitian replied.

"Director, what I mean is that we should improve the production process and make the quality of parts meet the standards!" the technical director continued.

Zhao Zitian glared at the technical director: "You think I don't know how to improve the production process? But how can we have the money? Let's just make do with this for now!"
