"Oh no, what are we going to do? It messed up at the crucial moment!"
Fang Youcai paced back and forth anxiously. Tang Liang hadn't expected to arrive at such an inopportune time, just in time for his uncle's troubles.
"Uncle, shall I take you to the office to sit and wait?"
Tang Liang spoke politely to Li Junsheng, who put his hands behind his back, shook his head calmly, seemingly interested in the equipment of the agricultural machinery factory, and was observing it thoughtfully.
Tang Liang sighed helplessly, assuming that he just wanted to watch the show, so he simply let him be.
With such a big incident, Fang Youcai was prepared to report it to his superiors first, and the superiors would naturally send someone to negotiate with the customer who bought the agricultural machinery!
All he needs to do is get the equipment fixed as soon as possible.
"That's the only way. You guys need to find a way to buy the parts right away. I'll report this to the leadership..."
Just then, Li Junsheng stepped forward and tactfully interrupted Fang Youcai.
"Section Chief Fang, don't worry, I can try to see if I can fix this equipment first."
"Huh? You, you can repair these large pieces of equipment? Are you a dry machinery repairman too?"
Fang Youcai, along with everyone else in the workshop, looked at Li Junsheng in surprise.
Li Junsheng smiled and didn't explain his identity much, but Tang Liang introduced Li Junsheng in a grand manner.
"Uncle, Uncle Li is a veteran worker at the city's machinery factory. He's been dealing with these equipment parts for many years. Maybe Uncle Li can really handle it!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Youcai and the others in the workshop felt a deep respect for Li Junsheng.
The veteran workers in the state-owned machinery factory, although not mechanics, are no less skilled than mechanics!
Fang Youcai was surprised to find that his nephew's girlfriend's father was so capable, and immediately wanted to shake hands with Li Junsheng.
But Li Junsheng had already walked over to the equipment and started inspecting it. The equipment was an old-fashioned crane, and there were many heavy agricultural machinery parts in the workshop that were difficult to move and assemble by manpower.
This equipment is needed for lifting and moving things. If this equipment breaks down, agricultural machinery cannot be assembled and produced, which really causes delays.
"This equipment is quite old. The shaft iron part inside is severely worn and definitely needs to be replaced, but I can try to weld it back together."
Fang Youcai nodded and hurriedly asked the mechanic to bring over the welding machine that Li Junsheng needed.
"But in my opinion, you've maintained your equipment quite well; it's clear you've taken great care of it."
Li Junsheng had someone power on the welding machine, and he put on protective gear to weld and repair the worn and cracked iron parts of the crane shaft.
Suddenly, lightning flashed in front of Li Junsheng, making it impossible for anyone present to look directly at him.
After welding the cracked parts, Li Junsheng polished them and applied machine oil to maintain the various parts of the equipment.
Half a day later, he finally took off the protective mask from his face.
"You guys try starting up the device."
As soon as Li Junsheng spoke, Fang Youcai immediately had the equipment started. The parts were repaired, and the crane could be operated freely again.
Fang Youcai, Tang Liang, and the other workers were all surprised and delighted.
"Wow! Brother Li is amazing! He actually fixed the equipment. That's great! You've really helped me a lot."
Fang Youcai excitedly grasped Li Junsheng's hand.
Li Junsheng remained calm. The other party kindly reminded him, "This is only temporary, not completely fixed. The mechanic is right. If you want it to work for a long time, you still need to replace the parts."
"After all, the parts are old and worn out. If we don't replace them, they will break down again after a while. As for the parts that need to be replaced, I'm a veteran employee from the machine factory. I can help you buy them, which will save you some trouble!"
"That would be wonderful, thank you so much."
Fang Youcai held Li Junsheng's hand the whole time. Ever since Li Junsheng temporarily fixed the equipment, Fang Youcai had become extremely respectful when speaking to Li Junsheng.
"Section Chief Fang, my hands are covered in engine oil."
Li Junsheng smiled and withdrew his hand to avoid getting Fang Youcai's hand oily.
To everyone's surprise, Fang Youcai didn't care at all and asked someone to pour water for Li Junsheng to wash his hands!
With the equipment temporarily repaired, Fang Youcai asked Li Junsheng to move to his office.
In the office, Fang Youcai hurriedly poured tea for Li Junsheng, and seeing that he had finished his cigarettes, he gave him a whole pack!
"Come, come, Brother Li, have a smoke and some tea. You've done me a huge favor today, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain this to my superiors."
"Section Chief Fang, you're too kind. It was just a small favor!"
Fang Youcai sat down with Li Junsheng, looked at his nephew, then at Li Junsheng, rubbed his hands together, and said nervously, "Brother Li, why did you come with Xiao Liang? Did this kid do something wrong?"
Fang Youcai figured that Li Junsheng disapproved of his nephew's relationship with Li Xiaoyu and had come to interrogate them, telling them to keep their nephew in check!
Tang Liang quickly clarified the situation to his uncle.
"No, Uncle Li is a very good person. He agreed that Xiaoyu and I could date for a while, and I would marry Xiaoyu once I had earned enough money for the three watches and the eighty-eight yuan dowry."
"Uncle Li came today for something else!"
Fang Youcai was surprised, but felt that Li Junsheng was indeed a good person.
He glared at Tang Liang and said irritably, "Your aunt and your parents have already prepared money for you to get married. Why do you have to be so stubborn? Wouldn't it be better to just marry that girl sooner rather than later?"
"It's alright. Tang Liang is ambitious, and I believe he won't let me down."
Fang Youcai nodded, then asked, "So, Brother Li, what brings you here? If you need my help, I'll definitely be there!"
Not to mention that Li Junsheng temporarily repaired his equipment, Fang Youcai was willing to stand idly by just so they could become relatives.
Li Junsheng smiled and said to Fang Youcai in a serious tone, "I came here today to ask the factory to issue me a letter of introduction so that I can sign a cooperation agreement with our factory and become a factory-run collective enterprise under the agricultural machinery factory."
"I'd also like to contract out a workshop in the factory. As the contractor, I will pay the management fee and contract fee to the factory on time, and I will be responsible for my own profits and losses. I also want to operate the workshop independently. I wonder if Section Chief Fang is capable of making this decision?"
Fang Youcai's expression gradually became serious, realizing that Li Junsheng was about to do something big.
It's not impossible for him to contract an empty workshop in the factory.
In the past two years, it has become increasingly common for private individuals to contract out state-owned factories!
Moreover, Li Junsheng had signed a cooperation agreement with the factory, so nominally it was still a factory-run collective enterprise under the agricultural machinery factory.
Since the factory has been operating a loss-making workshop that has been empty for a long time, why not rent it to him? A letter of introduction with the company seal is a piece of cake!
"We do have empty workshops, but are you sure you want to contract them? If we lose money, we'll have to put in a lot of losses."
Fang Youcai wanted Li Junsheng to think it over more, but Li Junsheng had already been considering it for a long time!
"Section Chief Fang, don't worry. Even if we lose money, I can afford it. If there are no problems with the factory, shall we sign the cooperation agreement and the contracting agreement now?"
"Alright! You can register under my name, as the Production and Supply Department!"
