Spring Breeze 1991

Xihai Sugar Factory is the pillar enterprise of Xihai County. The factory was built in the 50s and has been the only sugar factory in the county and surrounding areas for decades. Later, the factory has successively assisted in the construction of several sugar factories. It is like a big brother. exist.

After entering the 90s, the bell of reform rang. Due to many reasons, the Xihai Sugar Factory went from bad to worse. In the last effort to save itself, it introduced several imported equipment, which became the last straw that broke the camel’s back. .

Because of the changes in the international environment, and the Xihai Sugar Factory was unable to afford the high maintenance costs, the equipment imported with huge sums of money could not be operated. Many production lines had to be shut down, leaving only one production line surviving.

With the failure of the crusher on the last production line, the Xihai Sugar Factory was completely shut down and withdrew from the stage of history.

Although there were many reasons that led to the final bankruptcy and liquidation of the West Sea Sugar Factory, Yao Yuan knew that one of the important reasons was that the import of imported machinery and equipment, which had spent huge sums of money, could not fully function.

He rode to the storage yard in one breath. At the gate of the factory, there was a long queue of trucks loaded with sugarcane, and the storage yard was also full. The crane crew stopped working, and workers wearing rattan helmets gathered in small groups. We chatted a lot together, and all were waiting for the crusher in the crushing workshop to resume operation.

Crushing is the first process, and if the crusher is not repaired, there is no other way to talk about it.

It can be said that all the employees in the factory are like ants on a hot pot these days.

After putting away the bicycle, Yao Yuan rushed straight into the workshop, and when he looked up, he saw a group of people surrounding the crusher. The huge workshop was surprisingly quiet.

Yao Zhenhua has worked in the workshop for more than 20 years. He has always given people the impression that he is an honest and ordinary employee, taciturn, and few people pay attention to him.

Until his son became a blockbuster and was admitted to university.

It was only then that the workers and leaders in the factory noticed Yao Zhenhua, and even drank Yao Yuan's promotion wine specially.

And said hello, after graduating in the future, priority should be given to returning to work in the factory to take over.

In state-owned enterprises, it is a routine operation for the father to retire and the son to fill the vacant position, which is also called "hereditary".

Therefore, the phenomenon of "nepotism" was common in state-owned factories in the 90s.

Dad is in the first workshop, and mother is in the second workshop. When I went to the cafeteria, I found that my uncle was cooking.

……

In the workshop, many people are surrounding a piece of equipment, frowning.

Yao Yuan also surrounded him, and glanced at the equipment that made the whole factory worry from a distance through the crowd.

After reading it, Yao Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. This crusher is a new model produced by the German company Mance in 1988. Its performance is twice that of the current domestic equipment. The vibration of the machine body is small and the efficiency is high.

It was not until 2010 that this product was eliminated in the domestic market.

For him, the components of the body are not very difficult to repair.

But for the technical personnel of the sugar factory, it is a difficult gap to cross.

"Chen Jiji, what's the problem? Aren't you a college student? Why can't you even read the manual?" An angry reprimand came from the crowd, the voice of the factory director Wang Jianguo.

The line was suspended for five days, and Wang Jianguo became very anxious and angry.

The middle-aged man named Chen Jiji said with a wry smile, "Wangchang, I am a college student of workers, peasants and soldiers, and this is all I have. And this is German. I can understand some English, but German..."

Wang Jianguo was so anxious that his lips were bubbling, "Hurry up and find a solution! The last production line is here! If the crusher can't be repaired, this season will be over! Everyone will be hungry!"

All of a sudden, there was a commotion among the employees, some pointed at Chen Jiji's nose and scolded him for being an idiot, some complained to Wang Jianguo, and most of them were frowning but said nothing helplessly.

They are all honest workers, and they can only hold back their anger if they feel angry.

The cropping season just started, and within a few days, a crusher on the production line had a breakdown and stopped. All the technicians in the factory couldn't find the problem, let alone repair it.

Liu Yitang, the director of the pressing workshop, hurried over, "Wang Factory! Wang Factory! Mansi Company has called back!"

"How do you say?" Wang Jianguo suddenly raised his hopes.

The crowd parted, Liu Yitang ran in, and Yao Yuan took the opportunity to squeeze to Wang Jianguo's side, listening and watching silently, and took a deep look at Liu Yitang.

Liu Yitang wiped off his sweat, looked sad, and said, "They paid 10 yuan for maintenance, and the technicians have to give each person a travel subsidy of 1000 yuan per day while they are in our factory."

"Are they crazy?" Wang Jianguo's eyes were about to pop out, and his nose was crooked in anger.

When the workers heard it, there was another riot

"The foreign devils are going too far! How dare you ask for 10 yuan for repairs!"

"What does the travel subsidy have to do with us! Even if it's a supplement, it's not bad to give a dozen or so 20 yuan! Why don't you grab 1000 yuan!"

Yao Yuan on the side couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's so helpless that technology is controlled by others.

There are even more excessive ones. Some Japanese companies set up traps in the contract to keep the price of the equipment very low. Maintenance and other after-sales service will make you bleed a lot.

Wang Jianguo stared at him and said, "They're extorting a lot of money and you pay it back right away! If I have 10 yuan, I'll buy a few domestic ones right away, and I'm still in a hurry to get angry!"

"I paid it back, but they didn't let go. When we bought the equipment, we didn't buy it...it's the after-sales service, so the maintenance fee will be very high." Liu Yitang said aggrievedly.

Wang Jianguo walked out angrily, "I don't need them anymore, go on TV and newspapers! Just say that our factory is recruiting maintenance technicians from all over the city, and we will pay 1000 for repairing the equipment!"

"Wang Chang, is it really 1000 for repairing the equipment?"

A voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"Who?"

Everyone followed the voice and saw Yao Yuan, the son of Yao Zhenhua.

The number one scholar in this county in the college entrance examination this year is known to many people, but Wang Jianguo only knows his name but not him.

Yao Yuan came out and continued, "Wang Chang, will you give me 1000 yuan when it's repaired?"

At this time Yao Zhenhua had already arrived. Hearing this sentence from a distance, his heart tightened. He lost his mind and could only worry on the sidelines.

Wang Jianguo looked Yao Yuan up and down. He was still wearing a vest, shorts, and slippers. He probably just woke up and recognized him. "Zhenhua's son? Huh? Aren't you the number one student who got into the University of Technology?"

"Yes, Wang Chang, I study mechanics, I think I can give it a try." Yao Yuan said with a smile.

Wang Jianguo had to pay attention. This child was the only college student among the children of all workers in the factory. He was the number one student in the county's college entrance examination.

"You don't know how to mess around, what to do if it gets worse and worse, will you pay, can you afford it? Your mother is still lying in the hospital waiting for money for medical treatment, what compensation will your family get!" Liu Yitang was very dissatisfied, rolled his eyes and sneered, "Hurry up and leave, don't make trouble here, this is not a place for you little brat to show off!"

Yao Yuan took a look at Liu Yitang, this person was regarded as an enemy of the Yao family, this person had bad conduct, used his power to engage in nepotism, accepted gifts and bribes, and deceived others.

Yao Yuan remembers very clearly that in order to get his brother-in-law to work in the sugar factory, Liu Yitang chose to attack the honest Yao Zhenhua. Yao Zhenhua, who had worked hard in the sugar factory for more than ten years, became a waiting worker.

The most important thing is that Yao Zhenhua had to work as a porter in a brick kiln in order to maintain his family's livelihood after waiting for work!

It can be said that Yao Zhenhua became disabled in the black brick kiln collapse accident, and Liu Yitang should bear the main responsibility!

This is not over yet. After the sugar factory was restructured, Liu Yitang became the vice president in charge of finance, and the medical expenses of Yao Zhenhua and his wife were not reimbursed. In order not to cause trouble for their son, Yao Zhenhua and his wife insisted on not going to the hospital for treatment. the best treatment time.

This account, he and Liu Yitang have no end!
