Super Energy Great Country * Chapter 76: Jinan Power Machinery Factory
"Have you heard? Zhang Lao San has returned from Shanghai and become rich. On his wedding day, he wore a suit made of wool fabric! He even wore a scarf. The courtyard of the bride's family was packed with people just to catch a glimpse of the suit he brought back from Shanghai. The fabric, the style, were exactly the same as Xu Wenqiang's on the Shanghai Bund..." In the break room, the young workers in the second workshop looked at each other with envy and admiration.
"What's so special about that, we can also have it." The new worker who came to change shifts did not cooperate and instead showed a disdainful expression.
Everyone immediately turned their heads and asked: "What's going on?"
The shift worker who owed a beating smiled, waited until he had finished his work, and then mysteriously said: "Outside, the notice has been posted, our factory is going to evaluate production model soldiers. One workshop with 20 people will be evaluated, if they pass, their wages will be increased by one level, and they will receive a woolen suit as a reward. Ha ha, what's the big deal about polyester?
He was still preparing to describe the neat and tidy appearance of his woolen suit, when he looked up, where were all the people? Everyone had rushed to the workshop... He must become a production model soldier, wearing this woolen suit, standing in front of the girl's house, the marriage would be settled.
At the same time, Xiao Pang came to Su Cheng with a smile and asked: "Master, I heard that you are going to make a woolen suit? Master... our oil field produces 1,100 barrels per day, can't I be considered half a production hero?"
Su Cheng looked up and down at Xiao Pang, this guy was very adapted to oil field life, his body shape became more and more plump.
"He couldn't help but laugh and say: 'Making clothes for you would be a waste of fabric.'"
Xiao Pang said with a pout: "Master, can you just help me out?"
The problem with woolen suits is not just the high price, but mainly the small production volume. China has never been a major producer of wool, and under the circumstances of foreign exchange scarcity, it is also impossible to import large quantities of wool. On the contrary, due to the preferences of Europeans and Americans, high-quality wool and cashmere are first used for export, and the limited number of woolen suits that make it onto the shelves will be snapped up by the crowds as soon as they appear.
Su Cheng couldn't help but laugh at Xiao Pang, and then suddenly asked: "Have you got a girlfriend?"?
"Where is it...where is it." Xiao Pang's heart was uneasy as he retreated backwards.
"If it's not there, then forget it." Su Cheng felt his pulse.
Xiao Pang grunted twice and then said "yes" in a low voice.
Where is it?
"It's... it's the Research Institute's..."
Is he a researcher?
"She is a researcher's daughter." Xiao Pang's chin was about to hit his belly.
Su Cheng laughed and said: "You're also a high-rise building near water, which researcher?"
"That... is... Director Qin's daughter."
In Su Cheng's mind, Qin Shiwei's tall and sturdy figure with bulging muscles immediately emerged.
His daughter, isn't she a weightlifter?
Can you hold up a small penguin with two hands?
Su Cheng thought for a moment before smiling and saying: "Since you're really in the process of dating, I'll give you a suit. Get up early tomorrow and pick it up in Jinan."
It's extremely cold now, and the woolen cloth has been sold out. Suzhou also found Lin Yonggui, who managed to get 70 sets of woolen cloth from the Provincial Material Bureau. This is not only because of the economic status of the Victory Oil Field, but also because the leader of the Victory Oil Field holds a concurrent post as the head of Dongying City Government. If either condition were slightly different, they would not have been able to get the woolen cloth.
The next day, Xiao Pang took his girlfriend to the train station early in the morning.
What surprised Su Cheng was that Qin Shiwei's daughter was born delicate and lovely, shy and cute, standing next to Xiao Pang, almost only half the size...
Shulan also took the opportunity to play in Jinan. Soon she was chatting with him.
"His name is Qin Yun, he was assigned to our office after graduation." Xiao Pang introduced in a low voice.
Su Cheng asked about the character "Qiong", and said: "Old Qin has knowledge, you should work hard now."
"Buying a woolen suit is just hard work." Xiao Pang shook his shirt, trying to look like a successful man but failing.
Everyone got on the train. This time they sat in a hard-seat carriage, chatting and playing cards for four or five hours, and arrived in Jinan.
Su Cheng suggested finding a place to rest, but was unanimously opposed. Even Chen Liang said "not tired" and insisted: "Let's buy the wool fabric first."
A group of people walked with determination and finally found the Provincial Material Hall after a two-hour wait, only to be directed to a state-run store.
Su Cheng had known this earlier and bought a newspaper to wait. He should thank himself for arriving in 1987, even if it were two or three years earlier, he wouldn't have found anything leisurely to do.
Chen Liang and Director Yang were used to running errands for the higher-ups, so they came and went with a note, easily handing over the money to the state-run People's Department Store, and got 280 meters of woolen fabric.
Here, 240 meters are used for production and marking, 40 meters are used for human relationships. The wool is extremely difficult to buy, even if it's sold at the original price, it's a more effective public relations tool than Maotai wine.
Xiao Pang happily helped move things, getting drenched in sweat but not minding. Qin Yun used a handkerchief to help him wipe away the sweat, revealing her gentle side.
Su Cheng immediately turned his head to look at Shu Lan.
The little beauty's rosy face said in a low voice: "You didn't even sweat."
It's easy to go out once, and everyone doesn't want to go back. Su Cheng simply announced a holiday, free activities.
Xiao Pang pulled Qin Yun and had already slipped away. Su Cheng took Shu Lan to buy two small ornaments, then hailed a taxi and drove around the city.
The driver liked such a passenger and smiled: "Brother, are you back from abroad? Your hometown is Jinan?"
"It's my first time." Su Cheng didn't explain either and instead asked: "Master, what's the situation like with our city's state-owned enterprises?"
"Some are good, some are bad." The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "The boiler factory, Jinan Light Horse, those are all very prosperous factories. Paper mills and the like are not doing well."
"Jinan Power Machinery Factory?"
The driver thought for a moment before saying: "Is it that tractor manufacturer?"
"Manufacturing diesel generator sets, gas generator sets. Not for use on vehicles."
"Oh, Changqing District? I'll take you there?"
Su Cheng nodded in agreement.
The driver stepped on the accelerator and sped away from the city like a bird in flight.
Just like the Victory Oilfield Machinery Factory, the Jinan Power Machinery Factory's plant is also quite large, about 2,000 mu in size. Now that it's rush hour, you can see workers riding bicycles leaving from the main gate.
"Why are there so few people?" Su Cheng silently calculated that there were only about 200 people getting off work, which was too unreasonable.
China's bicycle army has a very terrible combat effectiveness, during rush hour, it can easily gather 2,000, 5,000, or even 10,000 bicycles.
Many people think that traffic congestion is a new thing after the rise of private cars, but in fact, it was a new thing after the rise of private bicycles.
A 2,000-acre factory, if it doesn't block the entrance and exit during off-work hours, it's too shabby.
Su Cheng gave the driver an extra 10 yuan and asked him to wait a little longer.
The latter readily agreed and stopped the car by the roadside.
Su Cheng pulled Shu Lan into Jinan Power Machinery Factory without anyone stopping them. At this time, he had already understood in his heart.
Shulan followed closely behind, curiously glancing at this old state-owned enterprise, and secretly comparing it to Youtian and Dahua Industry, saying: "It's so desolate."
The former Victory Machinery Factory, although relying on the oil field for blood transfusions, at least had production. In contrast, some workshops in this Jinan Power Machinery Factory are clearly closed and have a clear decline.
Just then, Su Cheng nodded and said: "This factory can't hold on anymore."
"So you're still here?" Shu Lan thought he was looking for a spare parts factory.
Su Cheng chuckled twice and said: "It's more interesting when you can't hold on..."
"What's the meaning of this!" At the corner of the workshop, a disheveled cadre who had been holding back his grievances could no longer contain himself and rushed out with red eyes.
……(。。)?
