"Um...Comrade Wang, don't the people in your factory have any objections to you doing this? About paying me for free?" Li Jinfeng couldn't help asking.
"Of course I have any objections! Comrade Li, you have no idea how difficult this project was at the beginning. So many of us have been working for nothing for so long, and we haven't achieved anything."
"If it weren't for your information, we'd still be scratching our heads. Compared to these losses, what's the big deal? What's more, we now have the ability to produce refrigerators. If people want to buy them in the future, they won't have to wait for imported goods. How great is that?" Wang Xingguo said.
Li Jinfeng: "Comrade Wang, you shouldn't accept rewards without merit! How about this? Tell the factory director that I won't accept the money. If he's okay with it, donate it to the apprentices in the factory who are in less fortunate circumstances.
Especially those who have children who need to go to school at home, give them priority."
Wang Xingguo almost cried with excitement when he heard this.
"Comrade Li, you truly are one of the most virtuous comrades I've ever met. No wonder Qiuqiu keeps saying she wants to see you again! Comrade Li, if you... if you don't mind, why don't you come to my house for dinner today? I'll have Qiuqiu cook some delicious dishes, and we can just reminisce about the past."
Li Jinfeng had no choice but to agree to the offer.
She agreed to have dinner at Wang Xingguo's house, and Wang Xingguo didn't say anything more about his life.
Instead, he seriously introduced the workshop's refrigerator production line to Li Jinfeng.
"Our previous technology could only create a one-to-one replica of your refrigerator. I forgot to mention that we will return your refrigerator in the next few days, and we will also give you another refrigerator as compensation."
In order to make an electric refrigerator, the factory dismantled the new refrigerator in Li Jinfeng's home and took out all the parts.
No one can guarantee whether doing so will affect the performance of the refrigerator.
The best way is to pay for one as compensation.
However, the word "compensation" sounded unpleasant, so Wang Xingguo said "give it away".
Of course, this was also a meeting held in the factory, and it was not Wang Xingguo's one-man show.
Li Jinfeng thought about it, but couldn't seem to find a reason to refuse.
The main reason is that refrigerators are really hard to buy at this time.
This was only the first half of 1980, and the development of domestic refrigerators had just begun.
If you are looking for imported goods, the foreign exchange coupons will be a headache.
Although there is Mark, a crazy kid in their family, Mark is still just a child, only a few years older than Yuanyuan.
As an adult, she felt really embarrassed to ask a child for foreign exchange coupons.
"Then I'll have to trouble Comrade Wang." Li Jinfeng said.
Wang Xingguo breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, Li Jinfeng accepted the factory's kindness.
"The first refrigerator we made was almost identical to the one you have. Later, we introduced a production line from Germany, and there were some changes, but basically, it was still the same technology as before.
Comrade Li, you played an invaluable role in this. As I said, if you ever want to come back, let me know. We will retain your position."
Li Jinfeng: "Thank you, but to a large extent, it's not necessary. I have another job now."
Wang Xingguo: "If you don't mind, could you tell me about it?"
Li Jinfeng briefly talked about opening a factory.
After saying this, Wang Xingguo looked at her with admiration.
