Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Time passed quickly and it was eight o'clock. Workers entered the workshop one after another. At this time, Zhou Tiancai arrived at the machinery factory in a jeep.

"Hello, Chief!"

As soon as he arrived at the gate, two security soldiers saluted Zhou Tian.

"Hello!"

Zhou Tian responded with a smile, and then drove straight to the administrative building. After getting off the car, Zhou Tian slightly adjusted the corner of his clothes. Before he could walk into the building, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. He paused, turned around, and saw Song Weiguo walking quickly.

"Weiguo, good morning?"

"Good morning, Director!"

"Director, I heard that you rejected Big Brother's proposal for cooperation yesterday?"

As Song Weiguo spoke, he walked upstairs side by side with Zhou Tian.

"good."

Hearing Song Weiguo mention this, Zhou Tian nodded calmly. After all, this matter had already spread, and there was no need to keep it secret.

"Why? Wouldn't it be better if we cooperated with Big Brother?"

Song Weiguo asked with a puzzled look on his face, frowning slightly.

"It's simple, because the other party's intentions are not pure."

Zhou Tian has already forgotten how many times he has explained this matter. He originally didn't want to mention it again, but facing Song Weiguo, he felt that he should explain it properly. After all, as the factory leaders, it would be a bit ridiculous if they didn't understand.

"By the way, I haven't had time to ask you during this period. Have Xie Weijun and the others adapted to the work pace in the factory during this period?"

"Fortunately, I've basically adapted to it, but my eldest brother is still a little out of tune."

Although Song Weiguo didn't know why the factory director said that, since the factory director didn't say much, he didn't ask any more questions. He responded with a smile, but when he mentioned Song Lian, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

Obviously, Song Lian's behavior still made it difficult for him to talk about it.

"Forget it, take your time. After all, Brother Song is usually involved in training and the like, so it's normal that he's not familiar with the management of workers!"

"Now that several branches of our machinery factory have been established, it's time for them to go and take a look."

Zhou Tian said with a hint of meaning

As they talked, the two came to the conference room. Today was Friday, and it was also the weekly meeting of the factory directors.

When they walked into the meeting room, they saw Xie Weijun and five others sitting on chairs chatting with each other. When they saw Zhou Tian and Song Weiguo come in, they all stood up instantly.

"Hello, director!"

Even Song Lian and Zheng Weiguo, who usually had a good relationship with Zhou Tian, ​​had serious expressions at this moment.

"Well, hello everyone, you're welcome, take a seat!"

Zhou Tian waved his hand, motioning everyone to sit down, and then walked steadily to the main seat and sat down. He looked at the six people and said, "Originally, I was going to discuss the work of the machinery factory this week with everyone, but just now Director Song asked about the matter of Big Brother yesterday. I'm sure everyone is curious about why I refused Big Brother's cooperation with our machinery factory, so let me briefly tell you."

As he spoke, he swept his eyes over the crowd, and sure enough, the spirits of several people perked up slightly. Obviously, they were very curious about what happened yesterday. Although they had heard a lot of rumors from other places, it was naturally more convincing to hear the factory director himself.

"Everyone knows what our machinery factory relied on to get started. It was machine tools. Because the machine tools we produce are more advanced than those produced abroad, and precisely because of this, the machinery factory has received attention and support from above since its establishment."

Zhou Tian straightened his body slightly with a serious expression.

"And the people who came from Big Brother's side yesterday, to put it nicely, wanted to cooperate with our machinery factory, but to put it bluntly, they wanted to rob us."

"What does machine tools represent? I think everyone knows it without me saying it. It represents a country's industry..." Then, Zhou Tian told everyone the conditions proposed by Big Brother Wilson yesterday.

Then he continued, "It's very simple. As long as we reach a cooperation with Steyr, the big brother, our machine tool design drawings will be taken away by the other party. In this way, our machine tools will no longer be exclusive, but will become their success. I don't know what you think, but for me, I will never agree to such a loss-making deal."

Zhou Tian shook his head slightly, his eyes firm as he said this.

Others don't know, how could he not know the relationship between our country and Big Brother later? He would naturally not do such a thing to strengthen the strength of other countries.

After listening to Zhou Tian's analysis of the pros and cons, the six deputy factory managers nodded. Indeed, when they first heard the rumors, they thought the factory manager might be making a fuss. But now after hearing what the factory manager said, they also felt that the disadvantages of cooperating with the other party outweighed the advantages.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering how the factory manager could ignore the overall situation and directly reject the other party."

For a moment, several people began to discuss in low voices, some nodded slightly, and some seemed to be thinking about something.

"Director, you did the right thing. We support you!"

At this moment, Song Weiguo was the first to express his opinion, standing up and speaking.

"Yes, Director, we all support you!"

Upon hearing this, several people stood up and said firmly that they knew very well what the foundation of the machinery factory was, and naturally would not give up the interests of their own country to strengthen the strength of the other country.

This is true even if this country is Big Brother.

After unifying their thoughts, the next meeting began to solve the problems in the factory. Everyone expressed their own suggestions, and Zhou Tian also gave his own solutions one by one.

It was not until the meeting was over that Zhou Tian took Song Weiguo back to the office. Zhou Tian sat at his desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

"Weiguo, do you know what the military thinks about this matter?"

Although Zhou Tian went to the Ministry of Machinery yesterday and explained the pros and cons of the matter to the leaders, after all, the machinery factory is a semi-military enterprise and the real management is still under the military.

"Director, the old leader called me yesterday and said that the military supports any decision you make!"

Song Weiguo told Zhou Tian about the conversation he had with his old leader last night.

"That's good. I thought the military would make me compromise!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back slightly.

After all, given the current relationship between our country and Big Brother, there may be such people.

To be honest, a big part of the reason why he was so tough with Wilson and the others yesterday was that he wanted to see the attitude of the higher-ups. On the other hand, he didn't want to sell the machine tools he developed at a low price.

After all, he didn't know whether his superiors would continue to support him after this incident, and this also affected his future plans and whether he could continue to come up with black technology.

If the higher-ups really compromised, then he would have no choice but to give up. Rather than handing over the advanced technology he had researched to the other side, it would be better to become a salted fish. At least in this way, he would have the opportunity to help the country continue to become stronger in the future.

But he also believed that the higher-ups would definitely not do so.

"By the way, Weiguo, you go to the general assembly. Next, I need the military to play a trick on me. Since they want to force me to make concessions through the higher-ups, I naturally can't let them have an easy time."

As he spoke, Zhou Tian thought of Wilson's plan yesterday, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he whispered his plan to Song Weiguo with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"What? Director, there won't be any problem if you do this, right?"

After listening to Zhou Tian's plan, Song Weiguo looked worried, frowned slightly, and clenched his hands unconsciously. After all, he knew that the factory director had already increased the price of the machine tool five times. If he increased it again now, wouldn't that offend the other party?

"You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, you just need to convey my intention to the military. Since the other party is not in a hurry to sign an order with us, we should naturally have our own countermeasures."

Zhou Tian was originally still distressed yesterday that the machine tool was sold at a low price, but he did not expect the other party to throw out such a big bait and be so greedy. In this case, it is no wonder that he is not trustworthy.

Zhou Tian raised his chin slightly and narrowed his eyes.
