Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 883 Pilot

The technical difficulty of the Walkman is definitely not just the magnetic head, but it is the most difficult one.

After Mr. Huang informed Chen Changan of the good news, he went to continue his research on the Walkman, but Li Chenglin stayed.

"I just saw in the newspaper that we have established diplomatic relations with the United States. Did Deng Xiaoping visit the United States?

I took you with me last time I went to Xiao Ri Zi, why didn’t I take you with me this time?"

"You're not reading an outdated newspaper, are you? This happened so long ago, and you're just asking now.

At that time, the Spring Festival Gala program was at a critical stage, so I didn’t have time to leave.

Next time you read the newspaper, can you please check the date? Today's front page headline says war has begun."

"Is there a war?"

Seeing Li Chenglin like this, we knew that he didn't read the newspaper, or the people from the Security Department took the newspaper away when they saw the war.

Chen Changan handed the newspaper on his desk to Li Chenglin.

"Look for yourself, we're fighting with the South."

Li Chenglin only watched for a few minutes and immediately started cursing.

"They are just a bunch of ungrateful people. When they were fighting, we tightened our belts to support them.

Weapons and supplies were all given to them for free, and now the war is over.

You think you are capable, but you turn around and use our weapons to attack us?

This kind of ungrateful person deserves to have his country destroyed. If I were still in the army, I would definitely fight and kill these monkeys."

Chen Changan poured a glass of water for Li Chenglin and then spoke.

"How is the training of the special forces teams under your command going?

The war has already begun, and they have been training here for so many years.

You can't always treat them as flowers in a greenhouse.

There weren't many opportunities before, but now that the war has begun, it's time to use the war to test the results of their training."

Li Chenglin was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he reacted.

"I dont go?"

"You're not a soldier, you work at the car factory, and you're not young anymore, how are you going to get there?"

"I am the chief instructor of the special forces."

"You are the chief instructor, what about me?"

Li Chenglin was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the chief instructor was Chen Changan.

Whether it is the special forces' tactics, ideas, or weapons and equipment, everything is managed by Chen Changan.

Li Chenglin is only the deputy chief instructor in charge of daily training.

"Then I am also the deputy chief instructor in charge of daily training. If the special operations team needs to participate in the battle, I should lead the team to participate in the mission."

"You don't understand or are you pretending to be stupid? You are from the car factory, and it is your duty to train the special forces."

Li Chenglin was stunned for a moment, then nodded to show that he understood.

“You are not young anymore, and your physical functions are no longer as good as those of young people.

Now you are a family man and your child is going to college this year.

In the future, I should change my character that always rushes forward in everything.

After returning, assemble the special forces and ask the higher authorities for help. Maybe we can still catch up with this battle.

Li Chenglin hurried to Chen Changan's office.

In the afternoon, Chen Changan received a notice from Uncle Nie to hold a meeting.

Since Mr. Deng took over the work, Chen Changan could clearly feel that the number of meetings had increased a lot.

Some of them were meetings that Chen Changan had to attend. But there were also some meetings that were invited. This time, Chen Changan had to attend.

Sitting in Uncle Nie’s office, Uncle Nie spoke.

“The recent Central Working Conference determined that in view of the current national economic situation, it was decided to implement reforms.

But no one knows whether the reform will be a good thing or a bad thing.

Therefore, we will make some local adjustments for the time being. After careful investigation and research, we decided to select several companies as pilot projects.

Previously, a pilot project to expand the autonomy of some enterprises had been carried out in Xichuan, which had achieved initial results and provided experience for the national pilot reform.

This time, the superiors decided to select eight enterprises to carry out a pilot project to expand their business management autonomy.

Your Sijiucheng Automobile Factory is one of them."

Chen Changan had been mentally prepared for this. After all, it was 79, so how long could reform be far behind?

“Those eight companies?”

"In addition to your automobile factory, there are eight other companies including the Capital Steel Plant, Tianjin Bicycle Factory, and Magic City Diesel Engine Factory."

“These are all big factories.”

"The factory is too small, and the pilot project won't produce any results."

“What about the specific reform plan?”

"This is the specific content of the meeting that will be held later."

Chen Changan nodded, and then walked into the venue with Uncle Nie.

"Oh, Brother Chen, I finally got you here."

Seeing that Chen Changan didn't recognize him, Uncle Nie introduced him with a smile.

"This is Manager Zhou from the Sijiucheng Steel Plant."

The Sijiucheng Iron and Steel Plant is much larger than the steel rolling mill, and the number of workers in the plant exceeded 10,000 early on.

"Hello, Manager Zhou."

"Brother Chen is finally here. In the past, our superiors gave us tasks. We just did the minimum work if there were more tasks. Now that we have to change all of a sudden, I feel a little panicked.

However, under the leadership of Brother Chen, the automobile factory is getting better and better every year, and it has more autonomy than companies like ours.

After all, we are companies that sell products to foreigners. I want to learn from Brother Chen how our companies can survive after the reform. "

The leader of the Tianjin Bicycle Factory nearby also echoed.

"Yes, for decades, we have been following the requirements of our superiors.

I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to give power to our factory all of a sudden.

What I fear most is that our superiors will no longer care about us and that we will not be able to sell the products we produce in the future.

It’s such a big factory, and there are so many workers who need to eat. If I don’t do this well, I won’t be able to face the workers back home.”

Chen Changan also understood what these people were thinking.

I have been a factory manager for most of my life, but I have never worried about product sales.

They produce as many products as their superiors give them. They don't worry about whether they can make money or sell the products.

Anyway, the factory just needs to report whatever it wants to buy, and the factory does not need to worry about the workers' wages, as that is all handled by the higher-level leadership department.

Product quality issues? What is that? Let’s first solve the problem of whether it exists or not. It’s good enough that it can be manufactured. Why are you so picky?

Nowadays, the nice way to put it is to expand the right of independent management, but in fact it means that the superior departments will no longer provide nanny-like management.

If the products you produce cannot be sold, it means that your factory manager is not capable enough.

If you can’t sell your products, you can’t make any money. If you can’t make any money, you can’t pay wages. If you can’t pay wages, you can only wait for the workers to eat you.

As a result, everyone was insecure. Tens of thousands of workers plus their families could be drowned by a single spit from each of them.
