Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

As for how to ruin He Yuzhu's business, Yi Zhonghai also had an idea in his mind. The most direct way was to persuade the steel rolling mill not to send them masters.

Think about it, and then feel that this method is not reliable.

He Yuzhu has a very good relationship with the factory director and has enough face. As long as he asks, Director Yang will most likely agree to send a master over.

Since this method doesn't work, we can only think of other ways.

I came to the factory with Liu Haizhong. I was a little absent-minded about work and was always thinking about how to cause trouble.

After much thought, he finally came up with a solution, which was to directly remove the firewood from the source and get those machine tools over.

Although there are experts coming to assist in the construction of Eighteen Arhats, the country is currently undergoing large-scale construction and does not have the ability to produce machine tools.

The most scarce items now are various machine tools. Many of them are old models, almost all of which were imported before liberation, and some have a history of 20 to 30 years.

The steel rolling mill has expanded in size and now has insufficient machine tools.

After thinking for a while, he found the workshop director and said, "Director, are we short of machine tools?"

"You are talking nonsense. Who doesn't need machine tools? The superiors have given us so many production tasks, but we can't complete the scheduled progress every day."

The workshop director then asked, "Lao Yi, why are you talking about this?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "I heard that the street has more than 20 machine tools, but they don't have any lathe operators, so they are just sitting there. Can our factory get them?"

This was Yi Zhonghai's plan. Although it was He Yuzhu who came forward to invite the lathe operators, the owners of those machine tools were from the streets after all. They were just weaklings, so their words would be of no use.

I was thinking about letting the factory step in and negotiate with the street office to buy all those lathes, so that He Yuzhu's business would fail.

The workshop director was surprised and asked, "You said there are more than 20 lathes on the street?"

"Yes, they are all second-hand lathes imported from northern countries."

Yi Zhonghai briefly talked about the street's plan to set up a machinery factory, emphasizing that they did not have a single worker and the equipment was idle.

Yi Zhonghai knew that the workshop director was Deputy Director Li's man, and that He Yuzhu had a good relationship with Director Yang and they were in the same faction.

The whole factory knew that Deputy Director Li and Director Yang were not getting along, so he told the workshop director to go find Deputy Director Li Huaide.

If Deputy Director Li can bring the lathe into the factory, it will be a great achievement. If he fails, it will disgust He Yuzhu and cause trouble for him.

After hearing the detailed introduction, the workshop director said, “Since the ownership of those lathes is on the street, there is no way I can get them.”

Yi Zhonghai said: "That's all I said about this matter. If you can't handle it, forget it."

Yi Zhonghai went back to work. The workshop director returned to his office to think about it, then turned and went to the comprehensive office building.

After reporting the matter to Li Huaide, Li Huaide asked the workshop director to go back.

Then he turned around and took his secretary to the Fifth District Government.

Li Huaide's brother-in-law is the deputy leader, and this time he wants to use his brother-in-law's relationship to get the lathe on the street.

After He Yuzhu found out everything from Liu Haizhong, he called Director Yang's secretary. However, the person who answered the phone was not Secretary Zhang but an ordinary staff member in the office.

"What? You said Director Yang and his secretary went to study together?"

"Yes, I've been gone for three days. Deputy Director Nie is now in charge of daily work. What can I do for you?"

He Yuzhu asked: "When will Director Yang be able to come back?"

"It will take about 5 days."

"That's it, let's wait until they come back."

He Yuzhu had never dealt with Deputy Director Nie before. If he went directly to his house to ask him to send two support masters, he would definitely be rejected. It would be better to wait for Lao Yang to come back and then go to his house to borrow people.

After telling Director Li about this matter, He Yuzhu was responsible for selecting apprentices.

If it were an ordinary temporary job, there would be a lot of people signing up, not to mention working in a machinery factory to learn technology, which is one of the most enviable professions.

After the news that the machinery factory on the street was recruiting temporary lathe workers was officially announced, it quickly attracted many people to sign up.

If He Yuzhu had not learned the technology, he would have been a little hesitant. Now he has already gotten started with lathes and understands what kind of people he needs to recruit.

The master directly selected 50 apprentices as the assessment team.

"Are 50 too many?" Li Hongying asked.

He Yuzhu said: "We will work in double shifts, with two apprentices for each machine, plus those who take turns to rest."

He Yuzhu had wanted to work in three shifts before. After all, any product produced can be easily sold now, especially mechanical products, which are in short supply.

But for now, you should not take too big a step at the beginning. Just work in two shifts to train apprentices first. Then, take it slow and use three shifts when you have more employees.

"Okay, let's do as you wish. When can the master come?"

"I will take those who are learning the basics first, and then in five or six days, a master from the steel mill will come over."

He Yuzhu explained and then recruited fifty junior high school graduates. Currently, primary school only lasts for five years, and junior high school lasts for two years. However, many people start school at the age of seven or eight, so the apprentices recruited now are children between fourteen, fifteen and sixteen years old.

He Yuzhu felt a headache looking at this group of children who were in their rebellious period, but there was nothing he could do. The older ones did not have enough knowledge and could not learn as fast as these children.

Gather the people together and give them a lecture:

"From now on, you must strictly discipline yourselves. All those who fight and violate discipline will be expelled and sent back to where you came from. The street will not arrange any more jobs for you in the future. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Let's clean up the factory first, and then focus on learning the basics. Don't think that you have already got the job just because you come in to learn. All those who fail to meet the requirements will be sent back first."

It is not easy to get a job nowadays, so He Yuzhu will not let them enter the factory easily. There must be those who are cheating and cannot work honestly. Once they are discovered, they will all be fired.

After discussing with Director Shen, He Yuzhu decided that he would only be responsible for their training and leave the rest of the matters to Shen.

He Yuzhu was teaching apprentices in the workshop when he suddenly heard several cars coming and stopping in front of the machinery factory. He was very surprised and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go out and take a look."

There are no cars on the street. When Li Hongying came here, she rode a bicycle. How could a car stop at that time?

When He Yuzhu came out of the workshop, he saw a jeep parked outside the factory gate. A man wearing a Zhongshan suit and a slicked-back hair, looking like a leader, got out of the jeep.

Then I saw a familiar-looking person coming down. After taking a closer look, wasn’t this Li Huaide when he was young?

Although it was the first time that He Yuzhu met Li Huaide, he recognized him at first sight. He was very surprised and didn't know why he came to the machinery factory with a leader.

At present, the staffing is not uniform, and the machinery factory under construction does not have an old man to look after the gate, so the gate is usually locked.

"Comrade, please open the door. We want to come in for inspection." Li Huaide looked at the gate guarded by Tie Jiangjun, and then said to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu walked to the gate but did not rush to open it. Instead, he asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"This is District Chief Guo from your District 5, coming to inspect our work."

He Yuzhu was very suspicious. Normal inspection work would definitely notify the local departments. How could a deputy district chief come directly to the factory?

This so-called District Chief Guo is only a deputy. As far as He Yuzhu knows, the principal district chief is not named Guo.

What's more, they brought Li Huaide with them. He is the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. These two people must have bad intentions when they came here.

This is understandable, otherwise the two of them would never have come to this small machinery factory.

What could a machinery factory have to attract them?

These two workshops share a broken yard? In addition to these, there are more than 20 lathes in the workshop.

Obviously, their target cannot be this broken yard, but only the more than 20 lathes.

He Yuzhu quickly guessed their purpose, and now he couldn't open the door for him, so he asked, "Do you have a letter of introduction?"

"Letter of introduction?" Li Huaide asked in surprise.

He Yuzhu said: "Of course, without a letter of introduction, who would know who you are?"

"You are a young comrade with a high level of ideological awareness. Open the door and let us in."

He Yuzhu shook his head: "It's a joke. No one can come in without a letter of introduction."

Since he knew that they were proud of themselves, He Yuzhu certainly wouldn't be polite to them.

Li Huaide was furious. He originally thought of coming here without contacting the street office first. If he could scare the people in the machinery factory with his identity, he could take the lathe away first.

As a result of the inheritance, this batch of machine tools all belonged to the steel rolling mill. We can then negotiate with the street office and hand over the money to them.

After all, you can’t buy machine tools even if you have money now, so I built more than 20 extra machine tools myself, which is a great political achievement.

But I didn't expect that when I got here, the door was locked and I was turned away.

"Comrade, why are you so stubborn? Do you think anyone can ride in a jeep now?"

Originally, I thought that I could drive in unimpeded and then scare people with my identity, but I didn't expect that there was no one guarding the gate here, and the person who came out was a young man.

"Where is the leader of your factory? Ask him to come out."

"The factory leader is on a business trip. I am the only one in charge right now. You say he is the leader? Without a letter of introduction, we will definitely not let you in."

He Yuzhu said: "Unless you ask Director Li Hongying from the street to come along."

Li Huaide said a few words with a glimmer of hope, but He Yuzhu never nodded or opened the door.

He was so angry that he was fuming, and then District Chief Guo showed him his work ID in a wronged manner.

He Yuzhu did not reach out to take it, saying, "Who knows if the certificate is real."

"you"

"What do you mean by 'I'? You guys should go back. I won't open this door for you anyway."

District Chief Guo was so angry that his nose was crooked. He put his work permit back into his pocket awkwardly. As a district chief, he was not able to enter the factory in his own jurisdiction. He was really annoyed.

"Let's go. I want to ask Li Hongying how she manages it."

He Yuzhu watched the two of them get on the jeep and then go back. Then he went into the office, picked up the phone and started talking.

There was no dial-up phone at that time, so I could only dial the number and was quickly transferred to the street office.

"Sister, District Chief Guo and Li Huaide from the steel mill just came to the machinery factory together."

"Why would the two of them go to the machinery factory?"

He Yuzhu said: "I guess it is Li Huaide who wants these lathes."

Li Hongying thought about it and it seemed that there was no other purpose, otherwise it would be impossible for District Chief Guo to suddenly go to inspect a machinery factory that had not yet been built.

"Can you tell me the details of the incident? Where are they?"

"I didn't let them into the factory. I should go find you now."

He Yuzhu recounted what had just happened.

"I understand. I'll be right there." said Li Hongying.

"Then don't take the main road and confront them head on."

"Don't worry, I came here by the small road."

The two sides were quite far apart, so Li Hongying did not rush over immediately, but called her husband first.

Lin Changzheng first praised He Yuzhu, and then the couple had a discussion. Li Hongying put down the phone, put on the mask, and then got up with her office bag and hurried out of the office.

After riding the bicycle, I didn't take the main street, but went straight through the streets and alleys. There were small roads all along the way. I arrived at the machinery factory without encountering any jeeps.

After meeting He Yuzhu, the two discussed it. In He Yuzhu's words, this was called a contingency plan. Only then did Li Hongying return to the street.

District Chief Guo was a little annoyed by waiting, but this is life now. It is difficult to find someone. Once the person goes out, there is no way to contact him/her at all. He can only wait here. Fortunately, the waiting time is not long.

"I'm really sorry, District Chief Guo. I was out for a while just now. Why didn't you call me before you came down to inspect?"

District Chief Guo said, "You came just in time to hear that a machinery factory has been built on the street. Today we invited an expert to come and visit and give us some guidance."

"Thank you very much, District Chief Guo."

If I hadn't known from He Yuzhu that Li Huaide was in charge of logistics in the steel rolling mill, I would have believed that he was an expert.

"Let's go to the factory first."

When District Chief Guo came to the machinery factory again, the treatment was different. In addition to the jeep, there was also a fleet of bicycles following behind.

After all, he was her direct superior, so Li Hongying still brought a lot of people with her.

He Yuzhu didn't say much this time. He opened the door very happily and didn't ask to see the letters of introduction from District Chief Guo and Li Huaide.

Li Huaide still wanted to say something to him, but he felt that the other party was too low-class and it was not worth arguing with him. He just snorted and walked into the factory triumphantly.

He Yuzhu thought to himself, if you can take away a screw today, I lose.
