Chapter 75: The Big Fat Pig (Rolling and Begging for Monthly Tickets)

  The trend of installing telephones at home had not yet drifted from Fujian to Dongying, so in Suzhou, if you wanted to make a call, you still had to find the phone book at home and then come to the office to make the call.

  Early in the morning, on the way to the factory in Suzhou, I was thinking about who to call.

  Last year's Peking University graduates should have found their footing by now. In Suzhou, it seems that some people went to the Material Supply Bureau and the Railway Department, both of which are places where one can obtain large quantities of materials through regular channels. In comparison, the slaughterhouse and the Animal Husbandry Bureau only provide a few hundred yuan, barely enough for personal consumption.

  Apart from this, places like the Ministry of Public Security where Wang Ting is located, and the General Office of the State Council where Liu Jianguo is located, should also be able to handle a few dozen pigs with their necks twisted.

  Su Cheng thought to himself: If a phone call can't settle the matter, then he might as well take some Maotai liquor to the capital and pay his respects to the mountains, or simply send a car to fetch pigs from elsewhere. Chapter 75: The Big Fat Pig (Rolling on the ground begging for monthly tickets) Although it's a bit expensive, production tasks are after all the top priority. At this time of year, it's also impossible to hire skilled workers, and recruiting new ones would only waste the time of senior staff, which is extremely unprofitable.

  "Pork, beef, vegetables, fruits, and vegetable oil." Su Cheng stopped the car and counted on his fingers. Nowadays, it's just a matter of making everyone work harder, no complaints about overtime. To show honor and the superiority of the "joint venture factory", they had to give out gifts.

  It's just like a state-owned enterprise in the last century, wanting to retain people by building houses, and salary increases and bonuses are all empty promises.

  "Director Su." A shiny bald head blocked Su Cheng's line of sight. This man had apparently been waiting at the factory gate for a long time, his body curled up from the cold, and he smiled as he introduced himself: "I'm Tian Jiabao, the screw supplier of Jiaobao Factory, one of Dahua Industry's suppliers."

  "That team leader, right?" Both hands clasped together, the bald man's palm was cool to the touch, like a stone in the morning. Su Cheng hastily pulled him along saying: "Let's go inside and talk, it's freezing outside, why did you come so early? Nothing's happened, has it?"

  "It's nothing, it's nothing." Tian Jiabao smiled somewhat awkwardly: "I was afraid of being preempted by others."

  "Snatched away..."

  Tian Jiabao didn't explain, Chapter 75 ?? Big Fat Pig (Rolling and Begging for Monthly Tickets) Hehe touched his bald head, walking and asking: "Director Su, I heard that you want to purchase a batch of pork?"

  "Do you have meat?" Su Cheng thought to himself, this guy's information is quite accurate.

  "I have meat." Tian Jiabao thought this was strange and turned to say: "Our factory used to be a parts factory in Miqu County, but two years ago I took it over and now we specialize in making oil well equipment like drill pipes, heavy weight bars, oil mouths, and card holders. However, the county has been very supportive of us, you know, Gaohua County is one of the largest pig-raising counties in our province, with a large number of big fat pigs, no problem."

  "That's a good deal, it must be a big fat profit." Su Cheng was overjoyed and added another sentence: "The price is up to you."

  "What price is not expensive, just follow the market price." Tian Jiabao stretched out one hand and said: "You can rest assured that we will absolutely not take advantage of you. We are willing to deliver pork to Dahua Industry, our entire factory and county are willing."

  Just as they were talking, another big-headed man appeared and saw Su Cheng. He said with a smile: "So you're Director Su, I heard you want some pork?"

  Su Cheng blinked and replied: "Yes."

  He patted his thigh and laughed: "That's great, I just got 12 big fat pigs yesterday, I'll send them to you when I get back."

  Tian Jiabao suddenly widened his eyes and said: "Zhao Ganzi, didn't we agree on this?"

  The big fellow twisted his neck and said: "I have a way, and I've got you down, what can you do?"

  Without waiting for Su Cheng to ask, more people came running over one after another, all of them delivering fatty pork. Some brought ten or twenty heads, others only one or two, but roughly calculating, there were already a hundred heads in total.

  At this point, Su Cheng was completely confused.

  Tian Jiabao explained: "Actually, we just want to thank Dahua Industry. If it weren't for the rise of our big China, people like us who run contracted factories wouldn't be doing well. This time, I heard that Dahua Industry has won another big contract, so I came over specially."

  A group of people gazed longingly at Su City.

  Some people also said: "Contracting factories are actually very bitter, worrying about policy changes, worrying about not being able to pay workers' wages, and worrying about rising material prices, product backlog..."

  Su Cheng understood and asked: "If you want to confirm the production of the next accessory, I can guarantee that there will be more, not less."

  He thought for a moment and said: "This time, we have signed a total of 300,000 sets of anti-bias grinding orders, and subsequent signings are still in progress. Everyone doesn't need to worry about having nothing to do."

  "Really!" Tian Jiabao habitually said a sentence, and didn't wait for Su Cheng's response, he immediately jumped up.

  Turning around, Tian Jiabao smiled again: "We're not giving gifts, we just want to thank Dahua Industry."

  Su Cheng smiled and said: "That's natural. But we can't let everyone lose out, so we'll just go with the market price. 4 yuan per catty, is that okay?"

  Tian Jiabao and others are humble, Su City is not allowed. Others brought over fatty pork to help out, but for every catty (unit of weight) they gave less than one yuan, yet they wanted to deduct tens of thousands of yuan.

  Cadres and workers who came to hear the news applauded and cheered, Chen Liang walked up to Su Cheng's side and said with admiration: "Director Su, you are more suitable for being the chairman of the trade union than I am."

  Su Cheng smiled half-true and half-false: "I don't understand workshop work, I can only be a logistics minister"

  Chen Liang burst out laughing and said: "Director Su is telling a joke. You don't understand the workshop, who dares to say they understand."

  Su Cheng didn't explain either. In fact, he really didn't understand workshop operations. His metalworking internship in college could only be said to be superficial, and when it came to actual practice, the level of making a hammer back then was simply not worth mentioning.

  More and more accessory factory personnel came to hear the news, so Su Cheng simply notified the remaining factories, stating that they would sign follow-up accessory contracts for the next three days.

  Not only does the parts factory need Dahua Industry, but Dahua Industry also needs the parts factory. Otherwise, the 30,000 sets of anti-deviation grinding system will be done by Dahua itself, and it must be breached.

  Moreover, the profit of many small accessories and parts is extremely low, often only a few cents or a dollar, which is not enough to cover the depreciation cost of Dahua's good machines. However, for some township enterprises, this is a great business opportunity.

  Innumerable factories are merged into a whole in order to bring about the scale advantages of the industrial age.

  As soon as the contract renewal notice was handed out to everyone, Tian Jiabao raised his hand and said: "Our factory wants to make additions, what procedures do we need?"

  "First, the product quality is qualified, second, the production capacity meets the standard, and finally, the price determines the winner. In units of 3000." Su Cheng tried to minimize the complexity of bidding, based on his experience with small and medium-sized enterprises, it's rare for township enterprises to be able to write standardized bids, and in this era of daring to venture out, bosses who can write bids are often inferior to those who cannot.

  Tian Jiabao stroked his shiny forehead and asked, "How can we tell if a product is of good quality?"

  Send for inspection.

  "Good! I've brought the samples." Tian Jiabao suddenly had an air of superiority about him.

  Da Bei Tou slapped his thigh in frustration: "How could I have only thought of pigs!"

  "The samples have all been brought. Alright, let's do the testing." Su Cheng gazed deeply at the shiny bald head, unable to help but admire his level of diligence; under the same conditions, others really couldn't compete with him.

  Tian Jiabao received the order and ran out of the factory gate to inform, soon a truck followed in, driving directly into the experimental vehicle workshop, where Li Rongxiang and others conducted tests with instruments.

  The bosses of the parts factory followed behind, walked into the experimental workshop, and couldn't help but let out a neat burst of applause.

  For them, the shiny new machines were already not easy to come by, the huge milling machine that occupied hundreds of square meters, the grinding machine with foreign letters engraved on it, and the densely arranged electric welding machines and cutting machines, almost like a dream world.

  These are all new machines that Suzhou has been buying continuously for half a year. The profit of the oil extraction machine is basically all included, and the old machines that have been worn out due to high-intensity production are also being replaced with new ones.

  Two young workers put the heavy rod on the stand and carefully measured it. Li Rengan and others used instruments to measure indicators such as hardness.

  The small bosses around held their breath and gazed intently, their eyes constantly sizing up the technicians and skilled workers, with envy written all over their faces.

  No matter how fast township enterprises develop, high-tech talent will always be oriented towards large enterprises.

  Even in the 21st century, the shortage of skilled workers and technicians remains an insurmountable problem for small factory owners. High salaries, rentals, and other means have been tried to no avail.

  Su Cheng suddenly felt a little sentimental. If it weren't for the mechanical factory platform, he would have been worried about accumulating technology by now. The skilled workers and technical personnel of Shengli Mechanical Factory were cultivated through various ways such as system internal rotation, institutionalized vocational schools, and master-apprentice relationships over 30 years in the oil field. These could be written into the IPO white paper after 20 years.

  Don't look at the fact that most workers only have high school and vocational diplomas, but in an era where vocational graduates can be directly assigned to county-level people's governments, such highly educated workers are basically gold-edged roles in blue-collar jobs, let alone ordinary township enterprises.

  Universally, a technical staff with a college degree is a rare role in state-owned enterprises, let alone private small factories.

  Li Xiang raised his head, and Su Cheng gave him a thumbs up.

  "Passed!" Tian Jiabao burst out laughing, his bald head gleaming with an unusually strong light.

  Next to it was a sudden burst of congratulations and discussions, and many entrepreneurs started calling people on the phone.

  Accompanying the test equipment, there are often a few big fat pigs making humming noises, causing a stir in the residential area, and even children running and shouting to catch up.

  Finally, the 28 large fat pigs that arrived earlier were penned in the empty space behind the cafeteria, surrounded by a crowd of people staring eagerly.

  In this day and age, even dual-income households can barely make ends meet. If one person is unemployed or there are many elderly or young dependents in the household, they have to be frugal and calculate every detail carefully.

  Pork is a luxury that can hardly be put on the table except for festivals, and it's already a rare pleasure to add some lard to vegetarian dishes.

  Is there a more obvious hint than the big fat pig in the backyard of the cafeteria?

  The housewives have already started thinking about the next dish. The fatty meat will undoubtedly be rendered into lard, stored away to eat slowly, and can be used for braised pork belly for the first meal, and if there's still some left, consider stir-frying some sliced meat, but not too much, best to leave some to make cured meat, until after the New Year...

  The children licked their lips, pulled at their mother's hem, and swallowed hard.

  The big fat pig is under great pressure.!!!!!
