The logic of Fang Chengzheng is very simple: the loss of enterprises is because the tasks given by the state are not enough.If you want to make the company not lose money, you must find a way to let the state give more tasks.If the state does not agree, then it is not my responsibility.

Meng Fanze obviously also understood the meaning of Fang Chengzheng, he asked coldly: "Comrade, you have just stressed that the reason for the loss is the lack of national tasks, have you not thought about going to open up your business?"Your factory has more than 30 years of experience in the production of ball mills, and now there are many new cement plants in various places, and there are many new cement plants, these factories need ball mills, and you have not contacted them?"

“Of course I’ve been in touch.”Yi Yaozhong, deputy director of the factory, replied, "Minister Meng, we also know the situation you mentioned."We sent salesmen to contact cement factories around the world, but there is no effect, those new cement plants, either from abroad to import ball mill, or to buy township enterprises ball mill, our products, people simply do not accept.

“Why?”Meng Fanze asked.

“Why?”Yi Yaozhong's face showed a mocking smile, of course, this mockery is not for Meng Fanze, he has not been so mad, his taunt is directed to those township enterprises.

"Imported from abroad, we will not say, people's technology is good, we can't compare."But those produced by township enterprises, the quality is not comparable to us, but they can't stand people will engage in public relations.Those township business employees, give rebates are open, our state-owned enterprises dare to do so?Also, their price is also cheap, a 2100 mm ball mill, we quote 700,000, they dare to report 500,000, how do you let us compete with them?"Yi Yaozhong said.

"Eichang, township enterprises to send back the buckle thing is indeed, but you said that the quality of the township enterprises can not be compared with you, this may be some absolute."Feng Xiaochen slowly said, he opened a book, said, "I have a case here, Mingzhou Songchuan cement plant, big year ago to buy a ball mill, used less than half a year, there is a load operating speed decline, in addition to the reducer oil leakage, triangle belt slipping and other issues."Ask your workers to repair, delay for more than a week, and then it will not be repaired.Their factory also has a Mingzhou local township enterprises to build the same type of ball mill, there is no such situation.Finally, they invited the workers of the township enterprise to repair your machine and replaced several unqualified accessories.Mr. President, do you understand this?”

"It's just an accident, it doesn't say anything."Yi Yaozhong's face was a little gray, and the self-righteous look just now no longer existed.

Feng Xiaochen is going to the north, naturally not to come with two eyes.The Commission prepared some information about Yubei for the working group, but these are official articles, in addition to the statistical report, is the Yubei municipal government and enterprises themselves to write reports, summary and so on, which is full of various spring and autumn pen methods, cloud mountain fog cover, simply reflect no situation.Feng Xiaochen found the package, let him go to prepare the data for himself, Bao Chengming in the computer to do a search, enough to Feng Xiaochen to torture a box of floppy disk of various documents, Feng Xiaochen came to Yubei, is carrying a laptop and floppy disk.

This matter about the Matsukawa Cement Factory was specially picked up by Feng Xiaochen, in order to block the mouth of these people, so that they can not avoid the real problem.

"Assistant Feng said, of course there is."Another deputy director, Zheng Qun, took over the words.From Feng Xiaochen's example, he can hear Feng Xiaochen on the Yubei heavy machine is done some homework, to fool the past is not easy, he said: "ball mill is our old product, we have been engaged in more than 30 years, now many cement plants in the country with the ball mill is our production."In recent years, our technology has indeed lagged behind, and the quality of workers has also declined.Just now, Feng assistant said that the maintenance workers we sent to repair their own ball mill, I know, the maintenance worker in the early 1980s to replace the recruitment into the factory, technically simply not.Over the years, many of our experienced old workers have retired, and the technical faults are very strong, and we can't do it."

He said this, and other cadres in the field also joined in:

"Yeah, yeah, let's say we're old companies, it's a problem that's too serious."

"The equipment is old, the skilled old, the workers are old, and the old workers are old, and the old workers are not connected."

"It's right, the machine is old and can't run, let alone an old company like ours..."

Tan Dejun also found the head, turned to Meng Fanze and said: "Minister Meng, our biggest problem in Yubei is the old industrial base, and those in the mainland of the new enterprises can not be compared."We have an analogy, saying that we are an old hen in the north of Yubei, and we can lay eggs in the past, and the country also attaches importance to it.Now that he is old, he will not lay eggs, and the country will not care about us."

“Why, you say that Yubei is an old hen, and now he will not lay eggs?”He looked at Tan and asked with a smile.

Tan Dejun hesitated a little and nodded, “Yes, say Yubei heavy machine, built the factory in 1947, and now it is...”

“When I built the factory in 1947, I’m getting old now.”Meng Fanze looked at Tan Dejun, then turned to Feng Xiaochen and asked, “Little Feng, you said yesterday, when was the German Siemens founded?”

"It was 1847..." Feng replied with a wry smile, and this tert was really what he told Meng Fanze, but the old man did not say it on such occasions.People say that they are the old industrial base, the old hens, now will not lay eggs, you came to Siemens was founded in 1847, this will not chat?

However, this is what Meng Fanze can say, replaced by Feng Xiaochen, it is estimated that Tan Dejun, Fang Chengzheng and others will immediately go away.But Meng Fanze is an 80-year-old leader, even if he relies on the old to sell the old, others can't take him.

The people were silent for a while, and Fang Cheng said with a black face: "Minister Meng is right to criticize, Yubei heavy machine into a loss, is the responsibility of the leaders of our factories, the first is the responsibility of my director."

Meng Fanze smiled faintly and said: "Comrade, the state sent me and Xiao Feng to Yubei, not to talk about responsibility, but to study how to revitalize Yubei, including how to revitalize Yubei."At present, there are serious business difficulties in Yubei heavy machinery, and there is no idea of this by Comrade Chengzheng?"

Fang Cheng said: "There must be ideas, and we have written on the report submitted to the National Economic Commission and the Ministry of Machinery."In order to make the Yubei heavy machine turn a profit, the key is to carry out technological transformation.The profits we have created in the past have been taken away by the state, and now the equipment is aging and the technology is outdated, and the state cannot complete these transformations without providing funds for technological transformation, and we alone cannot complete these transformations.This is not an objective fact that we emphasize subjective difficulties.”

“How much money do you need for technology?”Meng Fanze asked.

Fang Chengzhang said: "We have calculated that the equipment updates of several workshops, coupled with the introduction of foreign patents, probably need 80 million looks."In fact, these 80 million is to solve some urgent problems, really to achieve good results, no 200 million is not enough."

“If you had $80 million, would you be able to turn around?”Meng Fanze did not pay attention to the sentence behind the party's rise, but asked the question of 80 million.

Fang Chengzheng said: "I can't pack tickets, I can only say that there will be some competitiveness."Now the domestic market environment is very chaotic, those township enterprises to seize the market with us, there are some places in Chongyang, obviously we can produce equipment, but to spend money to import from abroad.These things don't change, and even if we improve the technology and launch new products, it's an estimated dead end."

"I understand."Meng Fanze nodded, "So, let's go to the production area to see and understand the current technical situation of the Yubei heavy machine."

That was not intended to continue to talk, and everyone got up and said politely and went out.Fang Chengzheng was very dissatisfied with Meng Fanze in his heart, but he still had to accompany him, but there was no smile on his face.Meng Fanze also did not care, led Feng Xiaochen, accompanied by Fang Cheng, walked more than a dozen workshops, and also chatted with some workers on duty in the workshop.At noon, Fang Chengzheng said that the factory had prepared a banquet, Meng Fanze to find an excuse to refuse, Fang Chengqiang did not reluctantly, cold face sent their line to the car when they came.

“What a look with the old man!”

Watching the car leave, he shouted with hatred.

“What does this old man mean?”He came forward and asked in the direction.

“What do you mean, look for it?”

"We didn't blame him either."

"Then who knows, maybe it's gone, it's not happy, and catches everyone and bites."

"He is the one who is valued by the central leadership, and he will not go back to sue us?"

“What to accuse?”We did nothing wrong.Now the whole of the north is not our Yubei heavy machine, the country can take us what?"

"That Feng Xiaochen, today did not say anything, look at what he means, is a follower?"

“This is the one who understands.”Fang Cheng said, "Isn't it clear that he came to Yubei, that is, he came to the gilded, and he can go back to account if he can make a little achievement."Such a young sub-level, the future is immeasurable.If he wants to make achievements, he has to work with us, can help us get some money, and then do some business, we can turn around, he is the result."

"Yes, the cafeteria has also prepared wine and vegetables, and if they knew they didn't eat, they wouldn't let the canteen be arranged."

Fang Cheng said, “He doesn’t eat it, we won’t eat it ourselves.”You go to arrange, call the office to pay less than a few of them, and let's play poker after dinner."
