Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

In the factory conference room, three senior leaders sat on one side, Chang Hongjun and several college students sat on the other side. The little fat boy was obviously excluded. There was a seat in the middle. Li Huaide and Xu Damao sat on one side, and Liu Guangqi sat on the other side to take minutes of the meeting for everyone.

"Comrade Xu Damao, do you have any misunderstandings about Comrade Chang Hongjun?"

"No."

"Then, can we discuss the repair and compensation issues for those equipment?"

"No."

Everyone was surprised. At the very beginning, Xu Damao directly hit the lungs of the big leader of the Ministry of Commerce?

Isn’t this too brave?

The senior leader of the Ministry of Commerce who asked the question frowned. Originally, Xu Damao had no misunderstanding about Chang Hongjun's answer, and he thought Xu Damao was giving in.

But Xu Damao simply refused to discuss the issue of compensation. So was he giving in just now, or did he really have no misunderstanding?

He suppressed his urge to lose his temper and said in a low voice, "Comrade Xu Damao, how about you come up with another solution?"

Xu Damao shook his head: "Either fix it for me in three days, or buy me the same one. That shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"The ones who dismantled the things were college students. The leader was called Chang Youliang. He said it himself. If he couldn't do it, there were still his senior brothers and his teacher."

"You're a college student majoring in mechanical manufacturing. You can dismantle them but not repair them? Why did you dismantle five of them?"

"If it doesn't work, just spend some foreign currency to buy it. It won't cost much, right?"

After these words were spoken, Chang Youliang and the others lowered their heads and dared not speak, their faces turning red. They really could not refute this slap in the face.

If they had dismantled one machine and found it broke, they could have said that they were not skilled enough, but they did not stop and dismantled 5 more machines in a row, which is totally unacceptable.

Even if these are not Xu Damao's personal belongings but public facilities, they cannot be wasted like this!

Last night they had asked a professor from the university for help, but when he saw that it was an imported product and the instructions were in a foreign language, he didn't dare to start.

It’s not that it can’t be repaired, but I haven’t seen it before. If the damage is more serious, who will be responsible?

The only thing that is easy to repair is the Zhongsheng brand 540 type wire recorder produced by the Zhongsheng Industrial Society in Shanghai. You can just go to the factory in Shanghai and ask a craftsman to do it.

But for others, especially Sony TR-55 and TR-63, the transistors were damaged by them and had to be replaced with original parts. There was no such equipment in China, so I had to go to Xiao Ri Zi for repair.

And there is a special situation now. China only started to develop general-purpose digital electronic computers in 57 with the assistance of Russian experts, and they were all vacuum tube computers. Now even if we have transistors, they have to be used in computers and military experiments. Who the hell would let you use them to repair your radio?

Isn't that a waste of resources and a sign of mental illness?

The professors who figured out the situation went home directly, figured out their own way, and didn't bother us.

Then, the four college students, led by Chang Youliang, were in despair. They couldn't afford to pay, they couldn't repair, they couldn't buy a new one...

There is absolutely no way.

Even if Xu Damao allowed them to convert the money into RMB, not to mention the shipping cost, they still couldn't pay it back, unless they sold their house, which might not be enough.

Chang Hongjun was helpless after learning about the situation yesterday, and he slapped him. You are so mean, I can find excuses if you broke one, but you dismantled 5 and broke them and couldn't fix them, how can I explain this?

So in the end he had no choice but to go to his immediate superior, the head of the Ministry of Commerce.

The three departments came together today to resolve this issue.

But if Xu Damao insists on it, there will be no way to solve this problem.

If it was an official matter, these four college students would be finished. The amount of money is huge, and the key is that the other party doesn't want money, so they have to send them to jail.

Or if they put the blame on Chang Hongjun, the Ministry of Commerce would be outmaneuvered, which would involve the steady flow of foreign exchange in the future, and it would be a huge loss either way.

"Comrade Xu Damao, the plan you proposed cannot be implemented, and the country's foreign exchange reserves cannot be used to buy these equipment for you. I will ask these college students to apologize to you and pay you double compensation in RMB based on the price of these equipment. What do you think?" The top leader of the Ministry of Commerce was also very aggrieved. Chang Hongjun had been in office for less than three days when he caused all these troubles, which made him very passive.

He had spent a huge amount of money to arrange for Chang Hongjun to come here, and he absolutely could not let it go to waste.

Xu Damao looked at everyone, especially the other two senior leaders who had remained silent until now. They thought that there was no exchange of interests here, and even a dog would not believe it!

"Comrade Chang Hongjun can be the deputy director, or the director, or another Zhang Hongjun or Li Hongjun - I don't care, I really have no objection."

"But no one can touch the two departments of production and R&D."

"As for the other four college students, as long as they are not in these two departments, you can arrange them as you like."

"As long as we can do this, the equipment issue will be written off."

Xu Damao said this bluntly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the top leader of the Ministry of Commerce rejected it.

"That's impossible. Comrade Chang Hongjun is in charge of production, and you are in charge of R&D. This is an organizational arrangement and cannot be decided by you alone."

"And these college students are the technicians we hired with great difficulty. If they don't join the production and R&D departments, it would be a huge waste of talent!"

Xu Damao spread his hands and said, "So there's nothing to discuss?"

The senior leader of the Ministry of Commerce questioned Xu Damao: "Comrade Xu Damao, do you have any objections to the organization's arrangements?"

Xu Damao shook his head: "How dare I? But I value the spirit of contract. When you wanted to set up this factory, you made an agreement."

"I'm in charge of both production and R&D, but now there's a sudden organizational decision to separate production? And they're trying to stuff people into my R&D department."

"Then leaders, I would like to ask, should we follow the agreement on paper or the arrangements made by your organization this time?"

The three leaders then remembered that in order to keep Xu Damao as the deputy factory director, there were relevant meeting record documents.

Xu Damao put forward many requirements at that time, which were of course beneficial to the development of the speaker factory, so the three of them signed at that time. Unexpectedly, Xu Damao would use them here.

The three of them looked at each other, and it was the Ministry of Metallurgy - their own big boss who spoke.

"Comrade Xu Damao, plans cannot keep up with changes. If you were not there when we inspected, we would not have resorted to this desperate measure. After all, we have to ensure that there are no problems with production. Research and development can be slow, but if the factory director in charge of production is not here, accidents will easily occur."

Xu Damao looked at him. This was the big boss who cooked for Sha Zhu in the original drama. How could he be speaking for an outsider at this time?

You can do it!

"1. Our factory is not a heavy industry. It is just a small workshop at best. It is almost impossible for a major accident to occur. "

"2. The daily production tasks of the factory have been allocated, and the factory director's secretary Liu Guangqi is also in charge of it. We check the fire safety measures every day, and - is there a problem?"

"3. I was not here. I asked for leave. And you should be able to find out what I was doing. It doesn't count as a violation, right?"

“4. I have no objection to Comrade Chang Hongjun’s idea of ​​improving the production process, but he cannot directly intervene in production without experimental results. This is irrational. I don’t think he has the ability to manage production-related work, so I oppose him managing the production part;”

"5. Those four college students have never apologized to me so far. They don't even have basic manners and morals. I, Xu Damao, dare not employ such people."

"Leaders, we have to act with facts and reason. Either we follow the original agreement, or I will take charge of production and research and development."

"Or, you guys keep stuffing people in, and I'll leave."

Xu Damao wanted to overturn the table and refused to play anymore.
