Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Uncle San, can we do less of this kind of pompous writing?"

Upon learning that superiors would be inspecting Northern Machinery Company for the second time, Deputy General Manager Lu Changshun convened a meeting of all company leaders.

There was only one topic for the meeting.

Let the superior leaders fully feel all the good aspects of Northern Machinery Company.

Clean and repair the factory area.

Issue new work clothes.

I saw that more than half of the people in the company stopped working and started preparing for the event.

Lin Kaifeng called Lu Changshun over in an unpleasant manner.

What the leaders want to see is the overall development of Northern Machinery Company, not just to visit the scenery and inspect the factory environment.

Lu Changshun said earnestly: "Kaifeng, if you don't do some face-saving work, you may be caught by others and attacked for disrespecting your leaders and superiors."

"The whole company knows that you are a practical leader who is unwilling to waste time on trivial matters. But sometimes, the more trivial the matter, the more details can be reflected."

"You proposed to invest 30 million yuan to buy shares in Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory. This is unprecedented in any industrial system across the country."

"Not everyone will support you like Minister Wang. We should do our best to save face, which is also a statement."

Lin Kaifeng said helplessly: "Uncle San, go and get busy. Thank you for your hard work."

After Lu Changshun left, Lin Kaifeng sat back in his office chair.

This is the situation at this stage.

Whether to implement comprehensive reform and whether to let state-owned enterprises be responsible for their own profits and losses.

Should we, within a short period of time, throw away all burdens and let state-owned enterprises fend for themselves?

Even the highest authorities are facing tremendous pressure.

It was unprecedented for collective enterprises to invest in large state-owned enterprises.

It will also make many people with outdated ideas feel inexplicably uneasy.

It was not until the mid-to-late 1980s that the overall economic reform was finally settled.

Attracting investment and earning large amounts of foreign exchange became the overriding policy.

At that time, Lin Kaifeng's last restraint will be completely released.

Now, we can only submit to the overall situation.

In this inspection, in addition to relevant leaders from the Ministry of First Machinery Industry, the other seven industrial ministries also sent a certain number of personnel to accompany the inspection.

It is a joint investigation by the Ministry of Industry.

after all.

The production areas involved by the machinery company are not only concentrated in the industrial field, but also in the electronics industry, semiconductor technology, and even high-end industries such as electronic computers. Lin Kaifeng is involved.

It's next Wednesday.

Hundreds of visiting inspectors from several major industrial ministries, led by Wang Changsheng, Minister of the First Ministry of Machine Building, entered the Northern Machinery Company in a mighty procession.

The group first visited the machinery company's agricultural vehicle production line.

Under the leadership of Lin Kaifeng, they visited several factories in the county.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, your company's business development is really getting better and better. In just one month, so many production model workers have been born."

During the tour, everyone came to a wall of glory.

There were large red papers on the wall with hundreds of names written on them.

On each piece of red paper, there are three words written: Honor Roll.

The names that made the list are all the production backbones and model workers of last month.

Lin Kaifeng modestly said: "With the strong support of the ministry and the protection of relevant national policies, the company has produced so many production model workers."

While expressing gratitude for the national policies, he also gave a detailed introduction to the branch companies and workshops to which the model workers belong.

If the country had not restored the bonus system, everyone would not be so motivated.

Not only does the company produce hundreds of model workers every month, but it also produces technical R&D experts from time to time.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "With sufficient motivation, the comrades' work enthusiasm will be higher day by day."

"Previously, many people criticized the restoration of the bonus system, believing it was a step backwards. Now it seems that facts speak louder than words."

"Whether it is a step backward or a boost to everyone's production enthusiasm, the honor roll on the wall has given the best proof."

After that, Wang Changsheng said earnestly: "Comrades, Northern Machinery Company has the motivation and innovation that other state-owned enterprises do not have in producing various types of new products."

"Their investment in Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory can help support their brother companies."

"Helping Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory to further improve production and technology research and development will also allow workers to work with peace of mind and without any worries."

A deputy minister from the First Ministry of Machine Building took a clear stand on Wang Changsheng's side.

Representatives from several other industrial ministries had different expressions.

Although I have some ideas about the Northern Machinery Company's investment in Jiangcheng Diesel Gas Plant.

But we have to admit that the scale of Northern Machinery is indeed shocking.

In this county town which covers a large area, branches of Northern Machinery Company can be seen everywhere.

It is either a branch factory or a large branch workshop.

The sausage factory located in the east of the county town has become the place that everyone pays most attention to.

This factory relies on ham sausage filling machines imported from an island country, and its daily output reaches hundreds of thousands of sausages.

The first and largest customer is the military.

As the meat processing plant was transformed into a sausage factory, the military placed large orders with the plant.

Batches of ham sausages were purchased and shipped to the front line in southern Xinjiang.

Ten minutes ago, everyone visited the Hall of Fame of Northern Machinery Company.

Different from the honor rooms of other state-owned enterprises, the honor room of Northern Machinery Company has neither big red banners nor certificates of awards awarded by the state.

But letters of thanks.

The soldiers sacrificed their lives and shed their blood in southern Xinjiang.

Lin Kaifeng used the half-buy, half-giveaway method to deliver high-quality and low-priced ham sausages to the front line.

The move was highly praised by the military.

In the production of export goods, Northern Machinery has done an equally impressive job.

Home appliances are exported to the United States in large quantities through the Best Buy Group channel.

It's no exaggeration.

The amount of foreign exchange earned by Northern Machinery Company in the past two years is equivalent to one-third of the country's foreign exchange funds.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Kaifeng took the initiative to say: "We at Northern Machinery Company are confident that in the coming year, our overall profits will double, helping the country solve the problem of foreign exchange shortages and helping various departments purchase equipment, technology, and materials that they want to buy but cannot because of foreign exchange shortages."

"In addition, our company will also take the initiative and make use of all existing advantages to make its own contribution to national defense construction."

In just a few words, several representatives from industrial ministries expressed deep emotion.

The eight industrial ministries are also known as the eight Vajra.

Among them, the First and Fourth Machinery Departments are in charge of the civil industry sector.

The other several mechanical departments are all related to the military.

The amount of foreign exchange they needed was much more than that of the First and Fourth Ministries of Machine Building.

Let’s not talk about other industrial departments.

Let’s just talk about the Third Ministry of Industry.

The Third Machinery Industry Ministry, whose full name is the Ministry of Aviation Industry.

Responsible for all types of aviation industry work, including civil aviation and military aviation.
