Afterwards, Zhang Yucheng took a private car and began to travel around Beijing, looking for a suitable target.
at the same time.
Sijiucheng Railway Station.
A train traveling directly from Shanghai to Beijing is slowly pulling into the station.
A moment later, a burly man stepped off the car, followed by a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
The two were each carrying a large bag, walking and talking as they went, seemingly quite familiar with each other.
At the same time, their clothes were very thin, which is typical of southerners who don't know how cold it is in the north.
The burly man started complaining as soon as he got out of the car, "Why is this weather so cold? Director Hu, thank goodness you reminded me, otherwise I don't know how frozen I would have been!"
"Section Chief Lin, this is nothing! If you had come any later, it might have snowed!"
...
The two men talking were, in a way, Section Chief Lin and Factory Director Hu.
The two men came to Beijing this time to handle a tricky matter.
Therefore, with time running out and the task being heavy, Director Hu, as the leader, began to make arrangements immediately.
"Section Chief Lin, time is of the essence. Let's put on some clothes first, then quickly find a place to eat, and we can go find the person this afternoon!"
"No problem, my mission is to protect Director Hu's safety. I will do whatever you ask."
Section Chief Lin was clearly a former soldier; he spoke frankly and was not concerned with trivial matters.
After he finished speaking, he put down the large bag he was carrying, pulled out a sweater, and started changing his clothes on the spot, not caring about his appearance.
Factory Director Hu shook his head when he saw this, but he really didn't have time to worry about it. He quickly followed suit and took out a sweater to change into.
The two quickly changed their clothes, feeling a bit warmer, then left the train station and found a state-run restaurant, intending to fill their stomachs first...
Soon, the two finished their meal, left the restaurant, and found a rickshaw.
"Excuse me, sir, how much would it cost to take us to this place?"
While asking questions, Director Hu handed over a piece of paper with an address written on it.
As soon as the rickshaw puller saw a customer coming in, he quickly stood up and greeted them with a smile.
“Sir, you’re too kind. I can’t read, so just tell me the place name. There’s no place in Beijing that I, Chang Liu, don’t know.”
"Oh, I see! Do you know the Mechanical Research Institute?" Director Hu said, putting the paper into his pocket.
Upon hearing this address, Chang Liu immediately perked up.
“Of course we know each other! Of course we know each other. My brother works over there, how could we not know each other? It’s about ten miles from here. If you two gentlemen want to call two cars, it will cost six mao in total.”
"Okay! As long as it's delivered to the destination, you won't be shortchanged a penny." Factory Director Hu agreed very readily.
We need to get things done quickly; who cares about a penny or two?
"Alright! Please have a seat, sir."
Chang Liu quickly dusted the car with a towel, then hailed another car. After the two of them were seated, they ran towards the research institute.
...
In the research institute's office, Sun Zhengguo was still worrying about production output.
At that moment, he was unaware that the problem would soon be solved.
Just then, the sentry at the gate called, "Reporting to the chief, two visitors from out of town have arrived at the gate and specifically asked to see you."
"Oh! What do those two do?" Sun Zhengguo asked casually.
The sentry then reported, "I've seen their identification and letters of introduction. One of them is the factory manager of an electronics factory in Shanghai, and the other is the head of the security department. Would you like to see them?"
After listening to the sentry's reply, Sun Zhengguo had no idea who the two men were.
But in the spirit of treating guests as guests, he still decided to meet them first.
"Then let them in!"
"Yes, Director."
After receiving the order, the sentries on duty temporarily confiscated Section Chief Lin's sidearm, and then one of the sentries personally escorted them inside.
Soon, the two men arrived at the office. When Director Hu first saw Sun Zhengguo, he was stunned.
He had learned beforehand that Director Sun was a department-level cadre, two ranks higher than himself.
But no one told him that this person was so young!
No wonder there's an old saying: you don't know how many cadres there are until you go to Beijing. I've certainly learned something new today.
After a brief moment of distraction, Director Hu quickly introduced himself.
"Hello! Director Sun, my name is Hu Wanguo, and this is Comrade Lin Dong, the head of the security department of our factory. We are from the Shanghai Electronics Factory. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hello, hello."
Sun Zhengguo also stood up politely, shook hands with the two of them, and greeted them.
He then poured two more cups of tea. After the three of them sat down, Sun Zhengguo was very direct and asked right away.
"I wonder what brings you two from so far away to see me?"
Upon hearing this, Section Chief Lin remained silent, leaving everything to Factory Director Hu to decide.
Factory Director Hu composed himself and began to answer each question one by one, according to what he had prepared beforehand.
"Since Director Sun asked, I'll tell you the truth. Our electronics factory's main product is antennas, but they're not selling well now."
So, I had no choice? There are still over two thousand employees to live on, so I had to come to Director Sun to see if we could also get a share of the profits.
Well! After hearing what Director Hu said, Sun Zhengguo was still a little embarrassed.
So this is the unlucky guy I bullied.
However, since they had come to him, it wouldn't be right to ignore them, so Sun Zhengguo continued to ask.
"I wonder what Director Hu means by 'drinking a sip of soup'?"
"Director Sun, I hope to get your authorization to follow your lead in producing antennas, as long as it can support the workers."
Factory Director Hu seemed very nervous when he said this, as he didn't know if Sun Zhengguo would agree.
Actually, his requirements weren't high; he just wanted to support the workers, that was all.
But after hearing his words, Sun Zhengguo was overjoyed, and at the same time he was silently making plans.
There are more than 2,000 workers, more than the current number of people in their branch factory. Moreover, they have been making antennas for several years, so even if they switch to making a different type of antenna, they should not be unfamiliar with it.
With the addition of these people, their antenna factory's production shortage problem can be completely solved.
At the same time, this also raises the question of which department the electronics factory belongs to and whether it can be incorporated into the company.
Upon considering this issue, Sun Zhengguo decided to first investigate the situation.
"Director Hu, I wonder which department your electronics factory is currently under?"
“We used to specialize in processing small parts, and later we specialized in making antennas. We have always been under the management of the Shanghai Machinery Bureau, so we are actually one unit.”
Factory Director Hu had no idea what the other party wanted to do.
But that doesn't stop him from playing the emotional card first, implying that they're all family and asking for a way out!
"Um!"
Sun Zhengguo nodded, satisfied with the answer.
"Director Hu, there are some things I can't make decisions on my own. You should find a guesthouse to stay in first and come back tomorrow morning. Don't worry, we're all family, and we'll make sure you're satisfied."
"Thank you, thank you! Thank you, Director Sun." Director Hu thanked him profusely.
Little did they know, Sun Zhengguo was already preparing to take over their factory.
They really did become a family then.
All I can say is that they played really well.
