Half an hour later, Sun Zhengguo walked out of Zhang Huaibei's office with satisfaction.
"Director Sun, please take care." Zhang Huaibei was very polite and saw him all the way to the door.
"Alright, no need to see me off," Sun Zhengguo said without turning his head.
Through our conversation just now, Zhang Huaibei has agreed to take on the role of branch factory director.
At the same time, he solemnly assured that even if he had to use his own father's connections, he would not let anyone steal the credit.
Having dealt with Zhang Huaibei, all that's left are Li Shengli and Zhou Weimin.
In Sun Zhengguo's plan, one of these two would serve as the Party Secretary of the branch factory, and the other as the Deputy Technical Director of the branch factory.
We strive to make ourselves impenetrable to outsiders.
I'm sure these two, unless they're stupid, won't refuse...
Soon, Sun Zhengguo visited Li Shengli, and just as he had expected.
When Li Shengli heard that Zhang Huaibei would be holding the line, he agreed without hesitation.
At the same time, he also stated that he would only take care of his own duties and would not interfere with anything related to production.
Finally, Sun Zhengguo went to Zhou Weimin's office and mentioned the matter to him.
After listening, Zhou Weimin gave his answer without hesitation.
"Director, you won't harm me. I'll do whatever you say."
Look, these are true friends, offering unconditional support. Sun Zhengguo was very satisfied.
"Weimin, this is also a good learning opportunity for you. As long as you hone your skills, your future will be bright."
"Don't worry, Director, I will definitely not let you down."
"Mmm~!"
Sun Zhengguo felt very reassured about his brother-in-law.
At the same time, he was also thinking that if the branch factory did well, he could transfer his younger brother back to the factory.
In addition, Sun Zhengguo has very high expectations for this branch factory. If everything is under control, he would not mind developing more products in the future.
If it's not in my control, then forget it! Who cares?
...
Evening arrived quickly, and the power lines that had been sent out in the morning had all been assigned to their new homes.
In a two-story villa, Minister Li was watching the news.
His wife, Yan Hongying, was also knitting a sweater beside him while watching TV.
Yan Hongying then thought of Mrs. Chen next door and teased her without even looking up.
"Old Li, you know what, this antenna is really good. Not only is it beautiful, but it also picks up a lot of channels. Mrs. Chen, the minister next door, has come over several times and always asks me where I bought it. It sounds like she wants to buy one too."
"That's right. Don't you know whose subordinate he is? Comrade Zhengguo can develop such a large machine tool, so this small antenna is a piece of cake for him."
"No wonder! It was Director Sun's doing. Now, if Madam Chen asks me again, what am I supposed to tell her?"
Yan Hongying stopped her handiwork and asked with a rather gossipy air.
"No rush, it won't be long before it's available in the market."
...
While the two were still talking, in a room inside the red-walled compound, Director Lai was still working, with the report on antennas on his desk.
At this moment, his personal secretary, Xiao Wang, came in from outside to report.
"Manager Lai, the antenna that the Machinery Department delivered today has been installed. Would you like to go and take a look?"
Mr. Lai is usually very busy and wishes he could divide his time into several parts, so he doesn't have any free time.
But tonight is different; it concerns the people's livelihood and can bring foreign exchange to the country.
Therefore, Mr. Lai attached great importance to it and he had to go and see if this little gadget was really useful.
"Let's go take a look together and relax a bit."
After saying that, Mr. Lai stood up and walked to the small room next door.
The two went to the next room, where Mr. Lai sat on the sofa and waited, while Xiao Wang turned on the TV.
Meanwhile, he continued to debug and explain.
"Mr. Lai, this antenna works great! Not only is the signal clear, but it can also pick up several more channels!"
As Mr. Lai listened to Xiao Wang's explanation, he nodded from time to time and asked questions.
"How does it compare to the old one?"
“These two are not comparable. The old one was just passable and not very useful, but this one is different. With it, it’s like bringing the TV station here.”
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing Xiao Wang's vivid analogy, Mr. Lai couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.
"Xiao Wang, since you say it's so good, what about its cost-effectiveness? If the price is too high, I'm afraid the public will find it hard to accept in the short term."
"Mr. Lai, this one used to sell for a little over 100 yuan, but I don't know about the one that the Machinery Department sent today. I imagine it should be more expensive, right?"
Xiao Wang did a lot of research tonight, but this product hasn't been released yet, so he really doesn't know the price.
At this moment, Manager Lai suddenly remembered the report on his desk and hurriedly instructed Xiao Wang.
"Xiao Wang, there's a report about antennas on my desk. Go get it; it should have detailed data."
"Okay, Mr. Lai." Xiao Wang turned and went to his office.
The report was brought over, and Mr. Lai examined it carefully. When he saw that the cost price was only 12 yuan, he admitted that he was indeed tempted.
The price difference between these two is really huge!
As a competent manager, Mr. Lai understood that if handled properly, he might indeed be able to earn a huge amount of foreign exchange, just as Sun Zhengguo had said.
At that moment, President Lai thought about many things... and then he gave instructions.
"Xiao Wang, make a note of this. Tomorrow morning when you come to work, have the staff in the general office discuss this matter urgently and try to get it implemented as soon as possible."
"Okay, Mr. Lai."
...
The next morning, in the small conference room of the office, filled with smoke, several people were discussing the matter of setting up an antenna factory.
"Everyone has read this report. What are your thoughts? Feel free to share your opinions!" said a deputy director surnamed Yu, sitting at the front desk.
“Deputy Director Yu, I have no objection to setting up a branch factory, but the Mechanical Research Institute should be doing research. Why would he open a branch factory?”
"Yes, Deputy Director Yu, that's my opinion too. We can start a branch factory from scratch; it doesn't necessarily have to be run by their research institute."
"I also support what both of you said..."
...
Hearing the various opinions below, Deputy Director Yu also had the same idea.
Thinking to myself, isn't this mechanical research institute prestigious enough? Why do they have to steal the limelight?
As expected, not a single person in the meeting room offered their support.
The results of this discussion were quickly sent to General Manager Lai's office.
When General Manager Lai saw this, he simply smiled faintly and then called over Deputy Director Yu.
"Comrade Changyuan, I've read the results of your discussion. You agree to build a new factory, but not a branch factory for the Mechanical Research Institute. Am I right?"
"Yes, Mr. Lai." Deputy Director Yu was somewhat unsure of the intention, so he could only answer with a forced smile.
"Yes!" Mr. Lai nodded.
"Comrade Changyuan, I have no objection to starting from scratch, but can you guarantee that you can earn a huge amount of foreign exchange every year? If so, then proceed according to the results of your discussion."
Lai's words startled Deputy Director Yu, who broke out in a cold sweat.
Who can guarantee that?! Can Sun Zhengguo really guarantee it?
Even so, he didn't dare ask that question.
