Kong Shizhong understood what he said. He was asking Ji Xia for production equipment.
Not to mention that Fugang's production line is so advanced that it is obvious that it will not be easy to get it back. The value of it is not just a few dollars. What should they say? Should they refuse or not?
Are you, Kong Shizhong, the only smart guy, and everyone else is a fool? Who wouldn't want it? Even the tractor factory wants it. Look at what Yin Kangping did.
Kong Shizhong didn't realize that his request was a bit excessive. He was dominated by greed and jealousy and had lost his mind.
You know, Binggang has always been the leader in the past, and the directors of those machinery factories all came to curry favor with him. Seeing these people following behind Fugang's salesmen and acting like flatterers, he was really furious.
Originally, Fugang's production line should have belonged to him, but because Liu Zhuangzhi made a mistake and refused Ji Jianguo, he was assigned to Fugang by Ji Xia.
To be honest, Ji Xia is indeed a woman, she is too narrow-minded and does things as she pleases. She is really not capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility.
He looked at Ji Xia jokingly and said with a smile, "Boss Ji, since you can even get a production line as large as Fugang, I'm sure you won't treat Binggang unfairly, right? We don't want a line that's too big, just about the same size as Fugang's."
Everyone was shocked by his huge demand. What a joke! The annual output of Fugang's production line is 1.5 million tons, and now, the total steel production in the country is less than 20 million tons. You can imagine how advanced Fugang's production line is.
"Hey, I noticed this production line has an annual production capacity of more than 1.5 million tons. Manager Ma, are you trying to trick us again and not want to sell us more steel?"
As expected of the director of the Shanghai Machinery Factory, after standing at the end for a while, he discovered that the production capacity given by Ma Liangcai was wrong.
Ji Xia was very impressed and nodded, "Yes, 1.5 million tons is based on 240 working days a year."
Kang Yongchang asked in confusion, "Mr. Ji, why is this happening? I'd like to hear the details."
Ji Xia said, "Normally, we work five days a week and rest two days. There are also Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, National Day, and Spring Festival each year. If we factor that out, the total number of working days in a year is roughly 240. After all, the purpose of our hard work is to live a good life."
It's just that right now our country is so poor and backward, we're so far behind others. We're working day and night to catch up, but one day in the future, we will catch up, and then we'll have the same holidays that others have."
These words inspired the people at the scene, especially the workers. When they heard these words, their eyes filled with tears and they applauded warmly.
"Mr. Ji is our caring person!"
"With President Ji, I believe we will catch up with others one day!"
"Haven't you heard? Our equipment is the most advanced in the world. In some areas, we've already surpassed others."
Kong Shizhong said again, "Yes, President Ji, we are also willing to contribute our own strength to the construction of the country. Previously, it was our factory comrade Liu Zhuangzhi who failed to recognize the great man and offended your father, causing us to miss an opportunity. President Ji, please be magnanimous and don't make a fuss. As long as President Ji can get us a set of this equipment, we promise to work day and night without a single day of rest."
Ji Xia glanced at Kong Shizhong indifferently. She always hated being threatened and bribed. Did she think that if she said these words and used moral blackmail, she would obey?
Is she the kind of person who cares about face?
Qin Xiao was furious when he heard this and was about to step forward to argue when Liang Zihua stepped forward and said seriously, "Comrade Kong Shizhong, Comrade Ji Xia is from my military and all her actions are under my command. I gave you a chance before, but you didn't cherish it. You think there are pie in the sky to be picked up whenever you want?"
Ji Xia said, "Comrade Chief, Director Kong said that without this equipment, they wouldn't work day and night. I suggest that Comrade Kong Shizhong be suspended for investigation and allowed to return to work only after it is confirmed that he is not suspected of dereliction of duty!"
When Kong Shizhong heard this, he was completely stunned. "Comrade Ji Xia, please stop slandering me. When did I ever say such a thing?"
Ji Xia said, "I heard it. I believe we all heard it! Besides, if you're sure there's no dereliction of duty, why did you reject me outright when I approached you earlier? If Liu Zhuangzhi, a mere technician, dares to make the final decision on important matters for the factory, then what is the need for you, the factory director?"
"Yes, Director Kong's words are indeed a bit unkind. If they have this kind of equipment, they will definitely work day and night. Doesn't that mean that without this equipment, their factory won't want to work hard?"
"No wonder their factory fails to meet its targets every year. It's extremely difficult to get supplies every time."
"What a joke! Haven't you heard that they don't even give face to President Ji? This factory director is really too arrogant. He was so arrogant before, but now he sees that Fugang has meat to eat and runs over to grab it. He is too shameless."
Kong Shizhong was even more wronged than Dou E. Before this, Ji Xia was unknown, and then Ji Jianguo came to say that he wanted to debug some special steel. They couldn't even complete their annual production tasks, so how could they have time to play house with him?
Also, he only asked Ji Xia to help them get a set of this equipment. Doesn't it look easy anyway? It's not for his family, and it's also a contribution to the country. If he doesn't do it, then don't do it. Is it necessary to put a blame on him?
"Ji Xia, although you did do a lot of things in accordance with military orders, it's better for you to stay out of the company's affairs. It's not up to you to decide whether I've neglected my duties or not. I advise you to think twice before you speak and don't say anything carelessly." Kong Shizhong said contemptuously.
In Kong Shizhong's eyes, Ji Xia was probably a spy who bought some imported equipment for China from abroad and shipped it back.
What's so great about this kind of person? He walks on the edge of darkness and may be discovered by the enemy country and die a violent death if he is not careful. Accidents always come earlier than tomorrow. And yet you still point fingers in front of him. It's really nonsense.
It is obvious that people like Kong Shizhong are loyal to whoever feeds him. He used to think that he could get benefits by currying favor with Ji Xia, but now that he sees that he can't get any, he immediately turns against her.
Ji Xia laughed and said, "Director Kong finally spoke his mind. What's the big deal? Since I have no right to interfere in the company's affairs, who just now clamored for me to get the equipment? What, Director Kong has been given some kind of immunity? I can't even report you for dereliction of duty under my real name. Isn't this a democratic society? Director Kong wants to resort to capitalist privileges?"
Kong Shizhong was about to speak when Liang Zihua said coldly, "Comrade Kong Shizhong, please leave first. I will report your situation to the higher-ups. Whether you have neglected your duties or not will naturally be investigated."
When Kong Shizhong heard this, his face turned pale. As the factory director, he naturally had a lot of gray income, and many things could not stand up to investigation. All this was caused by Ji Xia, and he hated Ji Xia to the core.
