Finally finished the patent proposal. I'll print out a few extra copies.
He also told Su Ya that he was going to the provincial capital in the next two days to bring the people back from there.
Just as he was about to leave the machinery factory, Director Liu called him back and asked him to go to the factory manager's office.
I met a stranger in Director Li's office. After we introduced ourselves, I realized who he was.
Cao Yuanshui.
As Xing's father had mentioned before, he was taking over the position of deputy factory director from someone who was due to take office.
He should now be called Deputy Factory Director Cao. Factory Director Li even gave him more responsibilities, appointing him concurrently as the director of the fifth workshop.
Xing Baohua felt a pang of sympathy for those who had been jumping around so much recently. They had all been jumping around in vain.
Fortunately, Xing's father insisted on returning all the items; otherwise, it would have been difficult to handle those social obligations.
Factory Director Li wanted the two to get to know each other and handle the handover, and asked Xing Baohua to mentor the other party.
What's with the hair?
With everyone else gone, there was nothing left to worry about. Xing Baohua felt no attachment to Workshop Five, despite having built it himself.
What's there to miss about cold, impersonal buildings? The only thing I miss is human warmth and kindness.
Now, everyone in Workshop 5 is a stranger to Xing Baohua; there's no sentimentality there anymore!
At Cao Yuanshui's invitation, the two visited the fifth workshop, where Xing Baohua could only revisit familiar places to experience it.
I met Hou Liwei and Hong Mingliang in the fifth workshop. Hong Mingliang, in particular, looked at Xing Baohua with some hostility.
No matter how unfriendly his gaze was, he couldn't even notice Xing Baohua; the two were simply not on the same level.
Don't forget that Xing Baohua also served as the chief technical consultant in the fifth workshop.
They are the type of person who can speak loudly.
Regardless of his background or how he was parachuted in, Cao Yuanshui could easily handle Hou Liwei and Hong Mingliang.
Most importantly, he also held the position of deputy factory director. It's said that a higher rank can have a crushing effect, let alone Cao Yuanshui, who was two ranks higher.
Production in Workshop 5 remains unchanged. The newly launched watch production line is also in the process of assembly.
These were all things Xing Baohua did while he was in office. Aside from emphasizing a few things to Cao Yuanshui, he didn't do anything else.
He didn't even acknowledge his two former subordinates. Without leaving a single word, he quickly disappeared.
He's so busy! He doesn't have time to waste at the machine factory.
Go back to the electronics factory to make arrangements, then go to the city hotel to find Reding and ask him to go back to the provincial capital together.
This person said they wouldn't go back for the time being and would wait here for the people from headquarters.
Xing Baohua agreed, saying it was fine with him.
I drove to the provincial capital.
I haven't been here for four or five days, and Zou Wenjuan has finished recording her tapes.
Several symphonies, in high-quality instrumental versions, have also been recorded for orchestra.
The recording studio calculated the cost for Xing Baohua, which was over six thousand yuan, roughly a thousand yuan a day.
Fortunately, he didn't have to pay for everything, otherwise he would have been heartbroken. Liu Haibo brought Xing Baohua 50,000 yuan in cash when he came, which came in handy.
Zou Wenjuan still has three songs to record, which she will have to record in their small studio in central Shandong.
Xing Baohua asked everyone to pack their equipment and luggage, and then he ran to Director Wang's studio and left three thousand yuan as working capital.
Movies are so expensive! Just think how extravagant I was to dare to do something like this! The worst part is, this film didn't generate any profit! It was purely for fun.
This is because there were two coins that swelled up back then.
No matter what, I have to grit my teeth and persevere with my first film.
Go back to the cultural troupe and find Li Wengang to return the car.
If you borrow and repay, it's easy to borrow again; who knows, you might need to borrow again someday?
“Keep it on, this car is an illegal vehicle. The former factory director illegally bought several more cars. The higher-ups allocated funds for him to upgrade equipment, but he used the money to buy cars,” Li Wengang said to Xing Baohua, who was about to return the car.
Xing Baohua was secretly delighted; such a wonderful thing had happened to her. Her luck was truly extraordinary.
He asked worriedly, "Will there be any problem if I just borrow it and drive it like this?"
"What problem could there be? You can switch it back when you need it. If you bring it back now, it'll just sit there collecting dust. You're an outsider, so it's fine. Who in the factory would dare use an unauthorized vehicle? Besides, your use of this vehicle is approved by higher-ups; someone's backing you up! What are you afraid of?"
Li Wengang was absolutely right; Xing Baohua was still somewhat worried. His expression was filled with doubt.
Li Wengang chuckled as he lit a cigarette and said to Xing Baohua, "Do you remember what I told you before the holiday? You've done a good job?"
"yes!"
"You don't want this credit; you want to cash in on it?"
"yes!"
"This is how you monetize, okay? Get out of here, I'm busy here." Li Wengang made his point very clear. If Xing Baohua still didn't understand, he might as well die.
"I laugh triumphantly, I laugh triumphantly, laughing at the world..." Humming a tune, I drove to the gas station.
It's a pity there's no tanker truck, otherwise I could fill up all the fuel in my little notebook with stamps. I wouldn't have to worry about fuel for a whole year.
Load everything that can be carried onto the car so the band members can take the train back.
Xing Baohua drove Zou Wenjuan, Grandpa Li, and Wang Weibao back to central Shandong.
The car's entertainment system wasn't working, so Zou Wenjuan had to be used as the music player. Listening to her sing the whole way was quite amusing.
I'll need to upgrade the car's entertainment system when I get back; it'll probably just involve upgrading the speakers and player, things like that.
Actually, making car-related products is a good idea, but unfortunately, it's not easy to make money in that field!
I'll do it when I have the chance.
Xing Baohua has now upgraded his equipment; this car should last him three to five years without any problems.
Back at the factory, I had someone ride a tricycle to the station to pick up the four kids.
The team worked exceptionally well during this trip to central Shandong. To boost morale, Xing Baohua gave out red envelopes (cash gifts).
