When will I have a long tassel?

"Mr. Tang, rare visitors, rare visitors! Welcome, welcome!"

In Zhoushui City, Hongbei Province, under the factory office building of Military Industry 82 Factory, Yao Xiyuan, Director of the Production Department of Factory 82, quickly greeted Tang Zifeng who came out of the car, shook hands with him warmly, and then introduced him to come out together. Welcoming Song Yajing, Director of the Office of Factory 82.

Tang Zifeng smiled faintly and exchanged a few polite words with Yao and Song. However, Tengji Deputy General Manager Zheng Huan and Secretary Xiong Kai who were following him frowned, with anger already showing on their faces.

Yao Xiyuan seemed to see the dissatisfaction of the guests. He explained apologetically: "Mr. Tang, you see, this is really unfortunate. In the past two days, the leaders of the head office have come down to inspect the work, and the leaders of our factory must accompany them throughout the process. , answer questions at any time. I heard that you are coming, our factory director Fan specifically told me to express my most sincere apology to Mr. Tang. He said that when the head of the head office leaves, he must bring all the factory leaders to present to Mr. Tang. It’s really disrespectful to drink alcohol to apologize.”

Tang Zifeng looked at Yao Xiyuan, suddenly smiled, and said, "Really? Then let's make it a deal. When the time comes, there will be one less factory leader, and I won't obey."

"Uh..." Yao Xiyuan was choked up and didn't know how to answer for a long time.

Boss, this is just a polite word, why do you just make it a deal? I had heard long ago that the general manager of Linji Group is a young man who never gets into trouble. He has been making trouble for a long time and this is really the case.

There was no way to continue chatting today, so Song Yajing came forward and smoothed things over: "Mr. Tang, Mr. Zheng, Secretary Xiong, have you worked hard all the way here? Director Fan asked me to tell you all We have arranged rooms in the guest house. Our military industry system is relatively poor and the conditions in the guest house are not very good. Please bear with me. How about we go to the guest house to take a rest first? "

"Okay." Tang Zifeng nodded and agreed.

Because there is no direct flight or train from Beijing to Zhoushui, they first flew to Bailiu, the capital of Hongbei Province, and then borrowed a car from Bailiu Machine Tool Company and drove all the way there. There were indeed some things on the road. Hard. Everyone looked unkempt, and it wasn't appropriate to talk about serious business, so let's take a break.

The guest house in Factory 82 is not as bad as Song Yajing said. The decoration level and facilities are at least equivalent to the standards of a four-star hotel in Hongbei Province. Song Yajing opened a deluxe suite for Tang Zifeng, and Zheng Huan and Xiong Kai each stayed in a deluxe standard room, which finally gave them some face.

After Yao Xiyuan and Song Yajing sent Tang Zifeng and his party to the guest house to settle down, they left first on the pretext of not disturbing the distinguished guests' rest. Zheng Huan and Xiong Kai each went back to their rooms to wash up, and then came to Tang Zifeng's room.

"This is deliberately keeping us in the dark!"

After sitting down on the sofa, Zheng Huan said angrily.

"All the factory leaders went with the head of the head office. Not even a deputy factory leader could be spared. Let two middle-level cadres come to greet the general manager of our group. This 82 Factory's spectrum is too big. ?”

Xiong Kai commented while making tea for Tang Zifeng and Zheng Huan.

Although the country has been saying that enterprises should be administrativeized, people within the system are still very sensitive to things like administrative levels. According to previous rules, Fan Chaodong, the director of Factory 82, was only at the deputy bureau level, and the deputy director was only equivalent to the director level.

Tang Zifeng's rank was official. When he came to visit Factory 82, Fan Chaodong did not dare to use the word "in person" when he came to greet him because his rank was lower than Tang Zifeng's. But who would have thought that Factory 82 could do such a great job. When Tang Zifeng came, not only did the factory director Fan Chaodong not show up, but not even the deputy director came out. Only two middle-level cadres were sent to greet him. This was simply Hong Guoguo's surprise. Humiliated, no wonder Zheng Huan and Xiong Kai were angry.

Tang Zifeng was very calm about this. He understood that the leaders of Factory 82 were definitely not people who did not understand the rules. In the early years, the military industry system was a self-contained system, which was indeed a bit unworldly. In recent years, the military industry has also been affected by marketization. If the enterprise does not understand these rules in the market, it may be difficult for the enterprise to move forward.

To give a simple example, a military industrial enterprise of the size of Factory 82 has its own elementary school and middle school for children. In the past, the children of employees in the factory went to school in the factory and had nothing to do with society. But in recent years, people have paid more and more attention to education, and primary and secondary schools are also divided into key and non-key areas.

The teaching quality of these schools for the children of military-industrial enterprises is several notches higher than that of key schools in the city. For those employees who think their children are quite promising, who wouldn’t want to send their children to study in the city?

If the children of workers want to go to school in the city, the factory must establish a good relationship with the local government and engage in some "co-construction" or something like that. Try to get dozens of places a year, at least for the children of leaders and middle-level cadres. good. To do this, you must learn a little bit about the world? All day long you act like I am a military industrialist and I am the most arrogant person. Can the local government buy your fault?

Now that he understands these rules, but does not abide by them and lowers the specifications several levels to welcome Tang Zifeng and his party, can Tang Zifeng not understand what Factory 82 wants to express?

"This is to tell us that they will never talk to us again about the milling machine." Zheng Huan said.

"We didn't come here to talk originally." Tang Zifeng said.

"But, Mr. Tang, they are insisting that they don't want our milling machines. We really can't do anything about them." Zheng Huan said sadly, "Before this, Mr. Gu, Jinsong and I were all working with Factory 82 I have talked with them, contacted their head office, and contacted the Science and Technology Commission. They all have a bunch of objective difficulties. When they are all summed up, they just say, there is no chance!

"When I came here last time, I met their executive deputy director Ke Guoqiang. This time you came in person, but they didn't even arrange for Ke Guoqiang. They sent Yao Xiyuan to see you. This means that their attitude is getting tougher. .”

"This matter was originally impossible to resolve peacefully. They are tough, and we are tough. In the end, it all depends on who is tougher. When I come here, I will be polite first and then fight." Tang Zifeng said.

When the group arrived at Factory 82, it was almost noon. After everyone rested for a while, Yao Xiyuan and Song Yajing reappeared and warmly invited Tang Zifeng and his party to have a meal in the guest house canteen. During the dinner, Yao and Song toasted to Tang Zifeng enthusiastically. Tang Zifeng said that he was in poor health and asked Zheng Huan and Xiong Kai to accept each other's drinks.

Yao and Song naturally knew that Tang Zifeng felt that they were not worthy of drinking with them, but that was the fact. They were indeed not of a high level. They could only endure it when Tang Zifeng threw big names in front of them.

After lunch, Tang Zifeng and his party took another rest. At two o'clock in the afternoon, they, accompanied by Yao Xiyuan, came to the small conference room of Factory 82 and began to talk.

"Director Yao must know the purpose of Mr. Zheng and I's visit this time, right? I think we all don't have to beat around the bush anymore. I just want to ask Director Yao, what is Factory 82's attitude towards the precision milling machine?" "

At the beginning of the meeting, Tang Zifeng raised questions straight to the point. The other party has already started to cheat, so there is no need for him to be tactful.

Yao Xiyuan did not expect Tang Zifeng to speak so directly. He was stunned for a few seconds before he said calmly: "Mr. Tang, I must know the purpose of your and Mr. Zheng's visit. But, in this matter, we actually went there I have already explained it to Mr. Gu and Mr. Zheng, we also have our own difficulties, so we ask Mr. Tang and Mr. Zheng to understand."

Tang Zifeng said: "I don't know what difficulties Factory 82 has. But I can be sure of one thing, that is, the difficulties in Factory 82 are not caused by Tengji. Director Yao doesn't deny this, right?"

"This, this is natural..." Yao Xiyuan responded awkwardly.

Tang Zifeng continued: "However, the difficulties we Tengji are facing now are caused by Factory 82. Factory 82, through the Science and Technology Committee, proposed to Tengji the development of a special precision milling machine, and promised that as long as we develop If the precision milling machine meets your technical requirements, you will purchase at least 200 units.

"We invested more than 40 million yuan to develop the milling machine on time and according to the quality. However, experts from the Science and Technology Commission and the 82nd Factory participated in the technical appraisal meeting and confirmed that the milling machine we developed met the technical requirements you proposed, and you But we regretted it and only agreed to purchase 20 units, so that all the R\u0026D costs we invested were wasted. Director Yao feels that this responsibility should be borne by Factory 82?"

"This..." Yao Xiyuan was speechless. He was originally an honest person and knew that his factory was in the wrong in this matter. Faced with the other party's questioning, he really didn't know what to say.

Song Yajing, who was accompanying the meeting, raised her eyebrows and spoke:

"Mr. Tang, I know something about this matter. You said that this responsibility should be shouldered entirely by Factory 82, which is not rigorous enough. Why did we give up Tengji's milling machine and switch to PATEO's milling machine? That's Because Botai's milling machines are indeed of better quality and more productive than Tengji's milling machines.

"Our 82nd Factory is a military industrial enterprise that produces advanced weapons for the front line of national defense. For us, completing production tasks with high quality and efficiency is the first priority. This involves national security and cannot tolerate any personal feelings.

"We did not purchase Tengji's milling machine, which indeed caused some losses to Tengji. Our factory director Fan has repeatedly said this, and he also feels very sorry. But we are not doing this for the sake of our own factory 82 interests, but for national defense needs.

"Mr. Tang, you may not know that in order to develop this new type of missile, all the cadres and workers of our 82nd Factory have been working day and night for three years. Even our factory director Fan was so tired that he was hospitalized twice. Why, no Is it just to be able to produce new missiles as soon as possible and consolidate national defense?

"Our No. 82 Factory can make such a big sacrifice for the national defense industry. As an old state-owned enterprise, isn't it okay for Tengji to lose a little profit?"
