Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Uncle Nie didn’t quite understand what Chen Changan meant by building a few more factories.

There is no such thing as outsourcing in this day and age.

If you are a car factory, then just produce cars. From parts to finished products, everything is produced in the factory.

This basically turns a factory into a kingdom.

"Uncle Nie, think about it, if we build several machinery factories around Sijiu City.

It doesn't matter whether it is managed by the ministry or the automobile factory. As long as there is production capacity, it's fine.

Car factories can then focus on producing only the more difficult parts.

Some simple parts are handed over to these machinery factories for production.

The advantage of this is that there will be no waste of manpower, at least there will be no need for some high-level technical workers to produce low-end parts.

Able to concentrate on producing more difficult parts.

There is no doubt that after doing this, the output will definitely increase.

Automobile manufacturers also have the energy and time to research more new products.

These new factories can not only train new technical workers, but also train more managers.

You see, doesn’t the new motorcycle factory need to arrange several deputy directors at once?

Now that they have a new factory, at least they will have to compete again. How great is it that each person is responsible for one?

The factory doesn't need to invest too much, let's experiment first.

We’ll start with two small factories with only a few hundred people to produce simple parts.

For example, we ask the machine tool factory to prepare a batch of grinders, and our automobile factory will give them a batch of shaft parts that need to be processed by grinders.

Slowly, continue to expand, isn't that enough?

Besides, isn’t it said that there are many unemployed young people in Beijing?

Having more factories can also reduce the number of unemployed young people in the city, so that they don't have to do nothing every day and cause trouble everywhere.

This is a good thing that achieves multiple goals at once.”

Uncle Nie was obviously moved, but he still glanced at Chen Changan.

"It's so easy for you to say that, just build a few factories and the matter will be settled.

The rest of the work will be done by the department. Does the land need to be approved?

Does the factory need to be built? Do workers need to be recruited? Is equipment needed?

New workers have been added. Should the department be responsible for their meals?

All of these things cost money, they don’t come for free.

Every year the ministry has a plan for implementation, but suddenly there are a few more factories to build. Where does the money come from?

Should we deduct it from the wages of the workers in your auto factory? Or should we reduce the benefits of the workers in your auto factory?

It's just empty talk. He just wants to build a few factories. He's quite arrogant."

When Chen Changan looked at Uncle Nie's expression, he knew that Uncle Nie was moved.

But it was a bit troublesome to actually make it work. The main reason was that we had no money.

Although the automobile factory can earn a lot of foreign exchange every year, the bulk of this foreign exchange does not go to the automobile factory and the ministry. If you can get some, just be happy.

"Uncle Nie, I am doing this to increase production and earn more foreign exchange.

While earning foreign exchange, it can also provide more people with jobs.

The recruitment plan of this new factory can be based on family income.

If the ministry does not want to solve the household registration problem, then it will only recruit unemployed young people from the inner city.

If a family has a low income, we can arrange for a suitable person to work in the new factory.

Of course, the final decision lies with the ministry. I am just offering suggestions.”

Uncle Nie hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"I think your idea and suggestion are good. The ministry does have some money.

But this money is kept for emergency use, considering that the factory you mentioned is not large in scale.

You can build one first and see how it works.

You can build a factory, but your car factory cannot just sit back and watch.

At least we should provide some technical support to those entering the factory.

Whether it is sending technical personnel or something else.

You can't say that we spent money and built the factory, but you just don't care about it. Isn't this a waste of money?

The department is not wealthy, and that’s only been the case in the past two years. If it were a few years ago, no matter how nice your words were, I would have no choice.

I will bring up this matter at the department’s regular meeting in a few days.

Let’s see what other leaders think.”

After coming out of the department, Chen Changan drove to the construction site without stopping.

When Director Li saw Chen Changan for the first time, he looked around.

"Director Chen? Are you here alone?"

After receiving Chen Changan's affirmative answer, Director Li immediately called two relatively young workers over.

"You two, stop working for now. Protect Director Chen on the construction site first.

I won’t say anything else. Director Chen has been assassinated once by enemy spies on our construction site.

I don’t understand any other profound principles. I only know that the people the enemy spies want to kill must be important to our country.

They want to kill Director Chen, so I must protect Director Chen and never let anything happen to him."

"Yes"

"Yes"

Director Li's arrangement made Chen Changan feel helpless.

"Director Li, that's not the case. I just came back from the department.

The main reason I came to you is that I have something to tell you. I won’t hang around the construction site.

We are just in the shed. There is no need to arrange someone to protect me.

I'm not a leader, just a factory manager. You're exaggerating."

“In the car factory, you are the leader, and on the construction site, I have the final say.

I have been a soldier all my life, and now I have to let the enemy spies kill people right under my nose. I cannot accept it."

Looking at Director Li with a stubborn face, Chen Changan could only let him arrange it.

Chen Changan started talking as he and Director Li walked into the project office on the construction site.

"The thing is, the car factory is about to launch a new project. This project is very important to the country.

The ministry transferred more than 20,000 skilled workers from all over the country to our automobile factory.

The organizational relationship of these workers will be placed in the automobile factory in the future.

Therefore, the originally designed residential area may not be sufficient.

The expansion is no small feat, as the number of workers has doubled.

The entire residential area plan also needs to be doubled.”

"What? Double it? The current residential area is already large enough. Double it again?

Director Chen, isn’t it said that the residential area is too large and the population is too dense? This is not a good thing.

You also know that our relationship with the north and the construction of the Third Front are also proceeding in full swing.

What if... "

"Director Li, I understand. Let's build a road next to the current residential area.

Across the road, construction of an identical residential complex continues.

As for the problem of dense population, I don't think it's a big problem.

I had already considered this issue when I started designing it.

Therefore, the roads between each house were left very wide early on.

There are also green areas, small squares, and small gardens, so all you have to do is build them.”
