"That's right!"
An experienced worker nearby immediately chimed in, "We've been making radios for twenty years, and even a big brand like 'Red Lantern' has never been as picky as you! You're simply wasting state assets! If you dare to smash it, we'll report you to the higher-ups right away and sue you..."
"Labor results? Waste?"
Lin Huowang unceremoniously raised the shell in his hand, pointed to the tiny burr on the edge, and said very seriously:
"Director Wang, fellow workers, do you think this is a minor issue? Do you think it's a waste for me to smash this batch of casings? You all think that this is a little off, that is a little off, but it doesn't affect the use, it's harmless, what's the problem?"
But we are a large factory! We are not a small workshop like a collective enterprise! We represent the best industrial manufacturing in the country, and you are the best workers in the country!
Is this all you aspire to? Are you really so careless and sloppy with the products you produce?
In the quality standards I set for you, didn't I clearly state that such burrs are absolutely unacceptable? If they are, it's a defective product and it has to be smashed.
You say I'm being pedantic? You say I'm making a mountain out of a molehill? Does that mean that those of you who disregard rules, regulations, and standards are the right ones?
Lin Huowang's voice grew louder and louder as he spoke, because he was in the right and had first praised them. The workers gradually lowered their heads.
Lin Huowang immediately pressed his advantage, emphasizing, "Besides! You all know this. These appliances of ours are for export! They're sold to Americans, British, and Germans! They pay in US dollars! The reason we were able to get these orders is because our previous products showcased world-class technology and manufacturing processes!"
"You call this a waste? Let me tell you, if we send these defective products with burrs and misaligned mold lines to the United States, and they return them and point their fingers at us and call 'Made in China' garbage, that would be the real waste! That would ruin the reputation of 'Made in China'! That would be a disgrace to our country!"
"this……"
Old Wang was also taken aback by Lin Huowang's imposing manner, but he still stubbornly argued, "It's not that serious... even foreigners might not see that much detail..."
"uncertain?"
Lin Huowang was so angry that he slammed the outer shell onto the ground with a loud "crack," sending plastic fragments flying everywhere.
“Let me tell you, the standard for ‘Dragon Brand’ is that it cannot have any flaws, even under a magnifying glass! What we built in Shekou is a ‘quality control center,’ not a ‘scrap yard’! If this is the level of your workers at Shanghai Radio Factory No. 2, then I’m sorry, we will no longer give you our electrical appliance manufacturing orders, and you can forget about all the extra benefits and overtime pay you’re currently enjoying…”
At this moment, Factory Director Zhang rushed over. Seeing the mess, he felt quite distressed and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Oh dear, Comrade Lin, Commander Lin, let's talk this out. Why are you so angry..."
"Director Zhang, it's just in time for you."
Lin Huowang turned around, looked at the old factory director, and calmed down a bit.
His tone softened slightly, but his attitude remained firm as he stated:
“I know that everyone is resistant, thinking that I’m just a young guy and don’t know anything, and that I’m deliberately picking a fight and trying to establish my authority. But, Director Zhang, think about the foreign exchange reserves, and think about the employees in our factory who are waiting to be allocated housing.”
"If the foreign buyer cancels the order because of the poor quality of this batch of goods, then the 5% foreign exchange retention will be completely lost. How will you explain that to the thousands of employees in the factory?"
When the terms "foreign exchange retention" and "housing" were mentioned, Director Zhang's expression changed instantly.
That was his lifeline, and the lifeline of all the workers in the factory.
He suddenly turned around, pointed at the workshop foreman Lao Wang's nose, and cursed, "Lao Wang! You senile old fool! Commander Lin is right! Are you trying to kill everyone in the factory?! Huh?!"
"How many families in our factory, spanning three generations, are crammed into tiny tenement buildings of just over ten square meters? We're counting on this extra foreign exchange earnings to build new buildings! And you, to save a little effort, want to destroy everyone's homes?"
"I..." Upon hearing this, Old Wang broke out in a cold sweat.
He dared to talk back to Lin Huowang because he was taking advantage of Lin Huowang's youth and his status as an outsider.
But if this huge hood is built, and he becomes the sinner for not getting a house in the whole factory, he'll probably be drowned in the workers' spittle.
"Commander Lin, I...I was wrong!"
Old Wang immediately softened, "I'll have them reworked right now! No, I'll smash this whole batch of shells! If anyone dares to produce another defective product, I, Old Wang, will personally slap them across the face!"
"Yes! I'd like to say my opinion too!"
The experienced craftsman next to him quickly chimed in, "We're going all out for foreign exchange reserves and for our new houses! It's just grinding molds, right? Our skills speak for themselves, we'll definitely do a good job!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Huowang's serious expression, which had been feigning anger, relaxed.
That's just human nature!
Sometimes, talking to them about ideals and sentiments is less practical than talking about houses and money.
"good!"
Lin Huowang also said loudly, "Since everyone is so determined, then I will also announce a decision!"
"As long as this batch of goods is shipped on time and in good quality, in addition to the bonus from the state, I, on behalf of the Shekou Industrial Park, will award another 100 'Dragon Brand' color television sets to the best-performing worker in our workshop!"
