With the money in hand, there were many things to do, so I took Xiaobomei to the bank. It's a pity there were few cars and few traffic lights on the road, otherwise, I could have enjoyed the surging waves of her breasts while braking.
Focus on the important business first; put everything else aside for now. There will be plenty of opportunities. Now that she's practically in our grasp, we need to make sure she knows who the boss is. This is the finance department! We have to be on the same page! If we can be on the same page, then we'll persuade her; if once isn't enough, we'll try again.
Liu Haibo, a junior official in the Municipal Government Affairs Bureau, also played a role, issuing numerous letters of introduction to Xing Baohua. Xing Baohua and Zhang Mingtao then began lobbying. Some technical matters required Xing Baohua's personal intervention; others couldn't handle them.
For example, when it comes to printed circuit boards, the quality requirements, drawing requirements, and so on, must all be clearly explained to the manufacturer.
Another example is a speaker. The size, ohms, and resistance of the speaker need to be customized, etc., rather than using ready-made ones.
Fortunately, Luzhong City is a heavy industrial city. The circuit boards were sent to Wireless Factory No. 3 for processing, and the speaker horns were sent to a county-level electronics factory.
Gradually, Xing Baohua improved his supply chain. The few sets of audio equipment he made before were just makeshift solutions, and he did whatever he could to manufacture them himself. Now that he had the money, he could find suppliers for the parts.
Lightweight aluminum alloys, stainless steel, copper-plated sheets, and pure copper sheets. If these are used in large quantities, the materials from the machinery factory can no longer be supplied.
While preparing materials, Xing Baohua also had to oversee the production at the machinery factory. The shortage of manpower revealed a significant drawback.
Su Ya hadn't seen Xing Baohua for seven or eight days and didn't know what he was doing. Rumors had spread in the factory that Xing Baohua had fallen back into his old habit of skipping work.
Hong Mingliang secretly kept attendance records for Xing Baohua. He didn't dare to openly discuss skipping work with him, but he was secretly plotting something.
Xing Baohua heard from Liu Quan that there were rumors about him in the factory.
Xing Baohua could only sneer. Someone was trying to sabotage him!
Putting aside all the messy things at the factory, the electronics factory in Shangguzhuang has been cleaned up and is ready to install the production line.
To get the production line from the factory, Factory Director Li's personal signature is required.
Only a few people know how the production line came to be, and Xing Baohua acquired it in exchange for his technology; it required the factory manager's personal signature before it could leave the factory. Otherwise, the equipment department wouldn't dare to ship it out so easily.
Upon arriving at the factory manager's office, Manager Li asked Xing Baohua with a wry smile, "There's been a rumor lately that you haven't been coming to work. What have you been busy with?"
"We're busy building the factory, the factory buildings are finished, and the production line should be installed. Could you please sign the factory certificate?" Xing Baohua said honestly to Factory Director Li.
"You openly skip work and do other things for me. As the factory manager, how am I supposed to deal with you?" Factory Manager Li said with a wry smile.
Xing Baohua chuckled, knowing the factory manager was joking, and eagerly replied, "Firing me now is the best punishment."
"You slippery fellow! You're not leaving until the tiered staff are properly trained," Factory Director Li said.
“You’ll need to train them. The blueprints and core components are all in the factory, managed by people at each level. As long as the person who takes over can act as a coordinator, that’s fine,” Xing Baohua said.
"Everyone in our factory understands machinery, but not a single one knows microelectronics. What level has Liu Quan reached in his training?" Factory Director Li asked.
“I’m going to take him with me. You need to recruit a professional in microelectronics. No one can control the technology for you,” Xing Baohua said.
"One last requirement: apart from Liu Quan, who you can take with you, no other skilled worker in the factory is allowed to leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you," Factory Director Li warned Xing Baohua bluntly.
Since the factory manager had brought it up openly, Xing Baohua couldn't very well poach people, so he could only nod in agreement.
Two large-nosed Jiefang trucks were transporting goods from the machinery factory to the Shangguzhuang electronics factory. Xu Shuai and Secretary Huang, who had been waiting, were greeting the trucks at the factory gate. A cheer erupted as the trucks entered the factory.
Soon, under the guidance of the machinery factory technicians, the production line was installed.
The next step is personnel training. The more than 30 young people we found in Shangguzhuang are also undergoing intensive training. Xu Shuai is teaching them how to cut materials and how to cut boards.
Once the printed circuit boards arrived, Liu Quan, along with Niu Jishan and one of his classmates, would work overtime at night to produce them.
It's getting harder to poach people from night schools these days; many are looking to start their own businesses. Xing Baohua has tried to recruit, but all offers have been rejected. He has no choice but to train his own people. It's slow, but there's no other way.
On September 1st, Shangguzhuang Primary School officially opened, and at the same time, Shangguzhuang Electronics Factory officially opened for business.
A series of firecrackers went off at the entrance of the electronics factory.
A deputy mayor from the town came and said a few opening remarks. Secretary Huang and the village committee members also arrived.
Despite Xing Baohua's frequent visits to Shanggu Village, this was the first time he had met the village chief. The village chief was a thin, short, middle-aged man surnamed Xia, named Xia Yongzhi.
The brigade accountant was a small, elderly man, who looked to be around sixty or seventy years old. His name was Huang Anhe, and he was a cousin of Secretary Huang.
Shangguzhuang is composed of four major surnames: Xia, Huang, Wang, and Yu. The Party Secretary and the Village Chief often come from these four surnames.
Village Chief Xia was a man of few words; aside from a polite handshake with Xing Baohua, he didn't say a single word.
Xing Baohua also knew that the village committee was not very united. If it weren't for Secretary Huang keeping things in check, who knows what kind of trouble might have gotten into.
The factory office is a temporary structure, just a temporary measure. It should be finished by October, and then we'll move in.
Originally, they planned to grab a quick bite in town before the opening, but to boost morale, Xing Baohua decided to build a stove and start the feast.
The factory currently has 27 employees, who are considered full-time workers. The rest are temporary workers who come to help out. Once they are trained, they can also become skilled workers.
