Chapter 213
Ye Manzhi climbed onto the bed quietly, covered herself with the quilt, and then tucked the corners of the quilt for the man in a virtuous manner.
Less than a minute later, she couldn't help but whispered tentatively, "Wu Zhengrong?"
The man next to him was breathing shallowly, his chest rising and falling slightly, but he didn't respond.
Ye Manzhi lay quietly for a while, then raised his voice a little and shouted, but unfortunately there was still no movement from next door.
She raised her upper body, leaned closer to observe the man, and muttered, "He's pretending quite well."
Wu Zhengrong is highly alert and has a light sleep. Whenever she gets up to go to the bathroom at night, she asks him to open one eye and observe the situation.
The volume of those two sounds just now was not small, how could he not hear them?
With the moonlight outside the window, Ye Manzhi leaned over and kissed him on the lips. After waiting for a few seconds, the other party remained indifferent.
She sighed, stretched out her evil right hand, and gently pinched Dr. Wu's delicate and smooth nose.
Wu Zhengrong, whose breath was choked, suddenly laughed out loud, pushed her disruptive hand away, and asked in a clear voice, "Why are you still awake so late at night?"
"You're obviously not asleep, yet you're still pretending!"
"If I had taken up your conversation, I don't know how long I would have to chat with you."
"Let's chat for a while," Ye Manzhi rushed over, hugged him, and said, "I have a great discovery I want to share with you!"
"Well, go ahead and talk, then go to sleep." Wu Zhengrong pulled up the quilt to cover her exposed shoulders.
"How about we merge with a light bulb factory? We could have them develop cathode ray tubes to fill in the gaps at Shuguang Factory," Ye Manzhi added. "The first domestically produced black-and-white television cathode ray tube was copied by the Nanjing Light Bulb Factory, which shows it's feasible to have the light bulb factory switch to producing cathode ray tubes!"
This matter could actually be discussed with Pan Kunlun, but Director Pan and several teachers are in Tianjin participating in a major campaign to tackle color TV problems.
She now has a strong desire to talk, so it would be more convenient to discuss it with Wu Zhengrong.
Wu Zhengrong recalled the background of the Nanjing Light Bulb Factory and said after a moment's pause, "The Nanjing Light Bulb Factory didn't succeed in imitation all of a sudden. Before imitating cathode ray tubes, they had produced special military light bulbs, oscilloscopes, and phototubes, and they already had a certain foundation in the field of vacuum electronics."
"But light bulbs are also vacuumed and then injected with inert gas. The Binjiang Light Bulb Factory should have some basic knowledge, right?"
Wu Zhengrong remained silent for a while longer, and Ye Manzhi waited patiently, giving him time to organize his words.
After a while, Wu Zhengrong's voice rang out again in the room: "The electrical vacuum properties of glass are only one aspect. We also need to examine the electrical, thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties of the glass. Chemical stability is especially important. Before applying the phosphor, the glass screen outside the picture tube must be strictly cleaned. If the glass screen is corroded by acid and alkaline solutions during cleaning, it will affect the performance of the picture tube. And..."
This is a rare opportunity, and Ye Manzhi listened carefully to Director Wu's popular science lecture.
You should know that after Wu Zhengrong became the director of the 1062 Institute, he only gave lectures to graduate students and elementary school student Wu Yuzhuo. Not everyone could hear Wu's popular science lectures.
"Is it feasible to let the Binjiang Light Bulb Factory switch to producing cathode ray tubes?" Ye Manzhi only cared about this.
"The Shanghai Light Bulb Factory has also started producing black-and-white television picture tubes," Wu Zhengrong said confidently. "If the glass properties of the Binjiang Light Bulb Factory are stable and they have the relevant technical data, there's still hope for them to switch production."
Ye Manzhi perked up instantly, subconsciously hugging his shoulders tightly and saying, "The technical data should be fine, right? The Nanjing factory was the first to develop it, so the process was more difficult, but those who planted the trees will enjoy the shade. Other factories can learn from the Nanjing or Shanghai factories!"
Whenever such times come, the benefits of public ownership and the superiority of socialism become apparent.
As long as the technical information does not involve national defense security, state-owned factories can actually share what they have with each other.
Just like in previous years when the whole country went to "learn from Shanghai and catch up with Shanghai", Shanghai shared its advanced experience with state-owned factories across the country without reservation.
Ye Manzhi felt relieved and relaxed. She rolled off Wu Zhengrong, clasped her hands on her lower abdomen, and closed her eyes with a peaceful look on her face.
In just three to five seconds, the breathing became steady and long.
Wu Zhengrong, whose eyes were shining brightly, said: "..."
He would never do such childish thing as pinching someone's nose.
*
Ye Manzhi blindly trusted Wu's judgment. After receiving a positive response from Wu, he revealed his thoughts to several deputy directors as soon as he got to work the next day.
CRTs are made of glass and can easily be damaged during long-distance transportation. If the problem can be solved locally, that would of course be the best solution.
but……
Huang He hesitated and asked, "Would the light bulb factory be willing to merge with us?"
He didn't know much about the light bulb factory, but factories like this were generally small, and a factory with two or three hundred employees was considered a large factory.
The Shuguang Factory had nearly two thousand employees. After being merged into the Shuguang Factory, the former director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Light Bulb Factory could only be a workshop director at most.
He can be the boss in the light bulb factory, why does he have to come to Shuguang Factory to be managed by others?
Tian Chunshan also felt that the prospects of merging the light bulb factory were not optimistic. "Maybe it would be more feasible to ask the light bulb factory to produce the cathode ray tubes, and then we can purchase from the light bulb factory."
Among the few people, only Miao Sufen raised both hands to support Ye Manzhi.
"The light bulb factory is doing well, how could they easily agree to switch to producing cathode ray tubes? Wouldn't we have to beg them for production help? They also have the final say on pricing! Instead of that, why not just absorb the light bulb factory?"
Ye Manzhi nodded and said, "Director Miao is right. The problem we face is that the cost of televisions is too high. We must find a way to reduce costs as much as possible. If we purchase picture tubes from outside manufacturers, the factory price must add a 15% to 20% profit on top of the cost price. If we have our own picture tube workshop, we can not only save 15% to 20% of expenses, but also save labor and transportation costs."
She also considered the possibility of cooperation without merger.
But her intuition told her that a merger would be more beneficial.
The Intelligence Department of Shuguang Factory subscribed to "Electronic Technology", and Ye Manzhi would occasionally borrow the magazine from the Intelligence Department.
The above has introduced the situation of Japanese television manufacturers.
Toshiba, Hitachi, and NEC are all manufacturers that produce both televisions and cathode ray tubes.
Such manufacturers account for as much as 67% of the Japanese TV industry!
Japan's television production has already jumped to the first place in the world. Other TV companies have their own cathode ray tube factories. So is it too much for her to set up a cathode ray tube workshop for Shuguang Factory as well?
It’s not too much!
Tian Chunshan and others also knew that it would be easier to do things if they had their own workshop, but the merger process was really difficult!
Ye Manzhi waved his hand casually and said, "The end of the year is the critical stage for sprinting production. The others will follow up on the production progress in the factory. Let Director Kang go with me to handle the light bulb factory. If there is any progress, we can hold a meeting to discuss it at any time."
Several people nodded, saying that this was fine.
…
The Binjiang Light Bulb Factory is not well-known, and Ye Manzhi and Kang Jian don't know much about it.
When I went to the city for a meeting, I didn't meet the leaders of the light bulb factory.
Kang Jian asked his acquaintances about the factory, and then said to Ye Manzhi, "The situation is still relatively optimistic. The light bulb factory is also a municipal enterprise. If the two factories are merged, it can avoid disputes between the competent authorities."
"Let's go to the light bulb factory first."
The two men, along with an engineer, found the Binjiang Light Bulb Factory according to the address in the contact book.
Looking at the cluster of bungalows, Ye Manzhi asked in disbelief, "Wasn't the light bulb factory once an enterprise under the First Ministry of Machine Building? Why is it built here? Are we in the wrong place?"
Kang Jian confirmed the address again, "That's right!"
Taking a look at the "Binjiang Light Bulb Factory" surrounded by residential areas, he felt a little puzzled.
The Binjiang Light Bulb Factory was once very famous. In the first few years after the liberation, light bulbs were considered products with very high technological content, so the Binjiang Light Bulb Factory was under the management of the First Ministry of Machine Building.
Later, the domestic tungsten filament was successfully trial-produced, and the light bulb was not considered a product with particularly high technical difficulty, so the light bulb factory was decentralized step by step and finally fell into Binjiang's hands.
Logically speaking, a factory like the light bulb factory that has been developing for more than ten years should have a very grand factory area.
I didn’t expect that their factory was actually nestled in a residential area!
Before leaving, Ye Manzhi called the light bulb factory, hoping to visit in the name of exchange and learning.
After the three of them reported their names at the guard room, they were soon greeted by a dark and thin man in his forties, who was none other than Meng Ping, the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the light bulb factory.
Meng Ping invited the guests into his office and said with a smile, "Director Ye, Director Kang, you are rare guests. Welcome!"
He was a little confused by the sudden visit to Shuguang Factory.
The light bulb factory is a factory with only more than a hundred people. It is actually not small in scale, but compared with large factories like Shuguang Factory, it is not very impressive.
As the director of the factory revolutionary committee, he was only a deputy section-level cadre and had almost no interaction with these two people.
If you are purchasing light bulbs, just let the other party's supply and marketing department come forward.
Ye Manzhi smiled and explained her purpose: "Director Meng, to be honest, we came here today to ask for a favor."
"Haha, we're all from the same unit, so there's nothing we can't ask for. Director Ye, if you have anything to ask for, just let me know."
"Have you heard?" Ye Manzhi said with a smile, "A black-and-white TV production line is about to be established at Shuguang Factory. We will soon start the TV business."
"Such a big happy event, of course I heard about it!"
Ye Manzhi briefly explained the difficulties of procuring components, then said, "Cathode ray tubes are vacuum electronic products made of glass, and light bulbs also require vacuuming. The light bulb factory has a certain technical foundation in this area. So, I'd like to ask if the light bulb factory could produce cathode ray tubes and supply them to our Shuguang factory?"
Meng Ping was surprised and asked, "Are you asking us to produce cathode ray tubes? Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Haha, Nanjing Light Bulb Factory and Shanghai Light Bulb Factory can both produce cathode ray tubes, and Binjiang Light Bulb Factory has a history of more than ten years. I believe our technology level is not much behind!"
Meng Ping didn't rush to refuse after hearing this.
In the first two years after the light bulb factory was built, it was similar to the current steel mills and machinery factories, and its employees could move around the city freely.
However, the light bulb factory was later decentralized by higher-level units, and the treatment was no longer as good as before.
In 1966, the city wanted to build a new electron tube factory, and the old factory director at the time also wanted to launch a high-tech project like the light bulb factories in other cities.
However, the project was shelved not long after, and the old factory director was demoted to a farm.
In recent years, the factory has changed several top leaders, and production has also been affected.
This year he was promoted to the director of the factory's revolutionary committee, which allowed the light bulb factory to gradually resume production and increase output.
However, the delay of these few years has widened the gap between them and their sister units in Shanghai and Nanjing.
If we can take advantage of the opportunity to supply the Shuguang Factory and produce high-tech devices such as cathode ray tubes, perhaps the light bulb factory can make a comeback!
Meng Ping was unable to give a definite answer on the spot and had to hold a meeting with other factory leaders to discuss the matter.
After showing the three people around the workshop, he returned to the office to hold a team meeting.
After hearing his introduction, Deputy Director Dong Jianbin slammed the table and objected, "Absolutely not!"
Meng Ping said: "Shuguang Factory can contact the research institute and other cathode ray tube factories to help us switch production."
Dong Jianbin shook his head in disbelief. "Why are they so kind? Director Meng, don't forget the lesson of Jiangbei Automobile Factory! A few years ago, Jiangbei Automobile Factory was just as kind as Shuguang Factory!"
After he reminded them, the others also said, "Yeah, haven't we learned enough from the previous lesson? If we agree this time, we may not be so lucky!"
When it comes to Jiangbei Automobile Factory, Meng Ping is also a little uncertain.
A few years ago, the Jiangbei Automobile Factory wanted to purchase automobile headlights locally in Binjiang, and also came to the light bulb factory to request cooperation.
At that time, the old factory manager was not prepared and thought that the other party really wanted to purchase car lights, so he led the entire factory to work hard to develop new products.
As it turned out, their real intention was not to purchase car lights, but to merge the light bulb factory into the car factory and produce car headlights specifically for them.
The Jiangbei Automobile Factory is a large state-owned factory, more than ten times larger than the light bulb factory, and its welfare benefits are among the best.
Many grassroots workers were tempted by the big prospects of the automobile factory and demanded that the factory be merged with it.
And almost no one in the leadership was willing to merge with the car factory.
They would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. In a light bulb factory, they can be the director or deputy director, but when they go to a car factory, they are nothing.
At that time, the employees were making a big fuss, and the leadership had no particularly good reason to refuse, so they could only drag it out.
Fortunately, the automobile factory suddenly changed its tone and only wanted half of the workshop workers, and the other half of the workers and the leadership were returned to the light bulb factory.
The loss of half the workers would affect the daily production of the light bulb factory. The old factory director took the case to the city leaders, and only then was the light bulb factory spared from being merged into the automobile factory.
The Shuguang factory that came to our door this time is about the same size as an automobile factory.
If the company also considers merging with them, can the light bulb factory still be as lucky as last time?
A few people exchanged glances, and no one mentioned switching to the production of cathode ray tubes anymore.
*
Whether it is cooperation or merger, it must be voluntary on both sides. A forced melon is not sweet, and Ye Manzhi does not want to do anything that is against the will of others.
Therefore, this time she and Kang Jian went to the light bulb factory to inspect, mainly to see whether the light bulb factory was willing to change its production.
As long as the other party is willing to switch production, it will be much easier to discuss the merger later.
The welfare benefits of Shuguang Factory are among the top five in the city, and are not inferior to those of enterprises under the jurisdiction of the central government and ministries.
It is nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade. For the more than one hundred grassroots employees, Shuguang Factory should be very attractive.
Ye Manzhi felt that the light bulb factory had a good foundation and that his own conditions were also very good.
Just waiting for a reply from Meng Ping.
However, she waited and waited but never received a call from Meng Ping.
When December came, she took the initiative to call, and it was Meng Ping himself who answered the call.
It is said that the factory is still discussing it. After all, the technical content of cathode ray tubes is very high and the difficulty is too great, so it is not an easy decision to make.
Ye Manzhi believed it without any suspicion.
After hanging up the phone, Dong Jianbin asked with some concern, "If we don't agree anytime soon, will Shuguang Factory ask the city leaders to intervene?"
Both parties are municipal state-owned factories, and merging related enterprises together was a common practice in the past few years.
Meng Ping shook his head confidently. "I recently asked someone about it. Televisions are a state-sanctioned product that requires loss-making operations. For every unit produced by the Shuguang Factory, the city government has to subsidize it. But our light bulb factory is a profitable unit, contributing a considerable amount of profit and tax every year. There's no way the city leaders are using a profitable enterprise like ours to fill the TV hole!"
Dong Jianbin felt a little relieved and suggested, "Let's not quarrel with them. After all, they haven't even mentioned a merger yet. When we get a call next time, just say we're sending someone south to investigate. By the time Shuguang's production line is in place, they might have found another source of supply, and they might not even think of us by then!"
…
When Ye Manzhi called the light bulb factory again, he heard that they had sent someone to Shanghai for inspection.
This action was in line with common sense, so she didn't doubt it. She hung up the phone and went home from get off work.
Her work has not made any progress, but her husband Wu Yuzhuo has made great progress in his career.
After the start of this semester, Wu Yuzhuo went from being an ordinary person to the deputy monitor of their class.
This made Class Monitor Wu very excited, and she has been inviting students to her house to do laundry for the past few days.
Yes, laundry.
When Ye Manzhi entered the door, there were several elementary school students gathered in the yard, and the washing machine was plugged in and humming busily.
She wanted to maintain the image of a "gentle and beautiful classmate's mother" and greeted her classmates with a smile, welcoming everyone.
Then, she said to squad leader Xiao Wu: "Youyan, you will be busy later, come in and help your mother with some work first."
Wu Yuzhuo followed closely into the house.
As soon as the door closed, Ye Manzhi tapped her forehead and said, "Why did you bring your classmates home to do laundry again? Your dad will have to deal with you again when he gets home!"
Wu Zhengrong has been almost annoyed by the washing machine at home lately, and he gets off work two hours later than usual.
Wu Yuzhuo said in distress, "I promised my classmates that they could come to visit our house and use the washing machine. I can't break my promise!"
Ye Manzhi: “…”
The price her daughter paid for being a deputy monitor was too high.
Squad leader Xiao Wu has been a very progressive child since he was young. He became an accountant for the children's group at the age of five.
But after I started elementary school, it was a special period and the Children's League and the Young Pioneers organizations were shut down, and were replaced by the Red Guards.
Wu Zhengrong didn't want his daughter to run around with the Red Guards, so he didn't agree to let her join the organization.
Squad Leader Xiao Wu was very obedient in matters of major importance, mainly because her parents controlled her financial lifeline and she relied on them to buy her delicious food. Therefore, she obediently did not join the Little Red Guards.
An elementary school student like her who doesn't get close to the organization naturally cannot become a class leader.
I went to school for several years, but I was always an ordinary person and was managed by others.
However, after the start of this semester, students who have been enrolled for more than two years will automatically join the Little Red Guards.
Except for the little kids in grades one and two, everyone else joined the organization.
Wu Yuzhuo joined the organization passively and also became qualified to be elected as a class leader.
When running for class leaders at the beginning of the school year, she first recited a passage from the Chairman's quotations, and then gave a free-flowing speech, introducing to her classmates the simple washing machine she had made with her great-grandfather during the summer vacation. She welcomed everyone to visit her home and try out the washing machine to liberate the hands of the working people.
Elementary school students of their age have to wash their own clothes, and some students even have to wash clothes for adults at home.
When the weather turns cold, my fingers get frozen red every time I wash clothes.
Wu Yuzhuo was generally popular in the class, and with the slogan "Liberate the hands of the working people", he was quickly elected as the deputy monitor with a high vote.
Ye Manzhi pinched her daughter's delicate face and said, "Everyone came to our house to wash clothes. Your dad doesn't want to go home because of the noise. You need to think of a solution quickly!"
"There are 37 people in our class, and 16 of them have already come to wash clothes. I guess it will be almost done in a few days. I told everyone at the beginning that each person can only experience it once, otherwise my pocket money will not be enough to pay the electricity bill." Wu Yuzhuo said aggrievedly, "I asked my dad in advance if it was possible for classmates to come to our house to wash clothes, and he said yes!"
"How could he know you wanted to invite the whole class?"
Of course, Ye Manzhi didn't expect this either.
Because Wu Zhengrong had nodded in advance, even though he was annoyed by the washing machine and wanted to kick it out, he still didn't say anything, but just had to work two more hours overtime at the company every day.
"Okay, go entertain your classmates. It's cold outside, so let everyone come inside to play."
Ye Manzhi sent her daughter out and paced back and forth in the room.
Her mind was no longer on the washing machine.
Youyan only kept half of what he said and fooled Wu Zhengrong.
Is it possible that the light bulb factory would also keep half of the speech?
It has been three weeks since they visited the light bulb factory.
Although the excuses given by Meng Ping were all appropriate, the time was too long. What decision required three weeks of discussion?
She had previously thought that her reason for visiting was reasonable and that the other party might not be able to see through the true intentions of Shuguang Factory.
But what if?
From another perspective, the light bulb factory seems to be using the tactic of procrastination during this period.
*
When she went to the office again, Ye Manzhi told Kang Jian about her suspicions.
Kang Jian nodded and said, "I called the city this morning to confirm. No one from the light bulb factory has recently gone to the city to get a letter of introduction for a business trip, nor has anyone exchanged national food coupons. They may have noticed something and are now holding us back!"
“…”
"The workers at the Light Bulb Factory should be willing to join Shuguang Factory, but the leadership won't agree. Judging from their attitude recently, I'm afraid they won't easily agree to our merger invitation. These matters are all overseen by the factory leaders. If they are not happy, there will be great resistance. Let's think of other solutions."
Ye Manzhi said "hmm" thoughtfully.
According to their idea, three problems needed to be solved in order to merge the light bulb factories.
First, we need to confirm that the light bulb factory has the strength to switch production. This is the prerequisite for the merger. At present, it seems that the Binjiang Light Bulb Factory has a good foundation.
The second is to gradually win over the leadership and grassroots employees of the light bulb factory. If both parties are willing to merge, the resistance in the city will be much smaller.
However, it now seems that the other party is not even willing to talk, and probably does not want to give in.
The third is to ask the city leaders to coordinate and merge the two factories.
But getting the leader to come forward is no less difficult than the second point.
Ten years ago, food factories were able to merge with other factories on a large scale because they had just experienced the Great Leap Forward and there were many small factories that were built in a duplicate manner.
Both the provincial and municipal governments wanted to merge these small factories together to form large factories, which allowed Niu Enjiu to take advantage of the situation and swallow up several small factories.
Now the city's structure has basically been fixed, and the leadership team has also undergone a major change.
It would be difficult for her to follow Niu Enjiu's old path again.
In particular, the light bulb factory is a profitable enterprise, while the television project is clearly a loss-making enterprise.
The city leaders may not be willing to drag the light bulb factory into the water.
In any case, this matter cannot bypass the city leaders, and Wang Zaofu cannot be completely exiled.
The factory also has to send people to his home and the construction site from time to time to check on his family and Director Wang himself.
…
Dumplings are eaten on the Winter Solstice. Therefore, on the day before the Winter Solstice, Ye Manzhi asked the logistics department to organize family members to make more than 2,000 dumplings in the compound, according to the food intake of 50 dumplings per person.
After all the dumplings were frozen, she took her people on a truck and delivered the dumplings to the Shuguang Factory section of the civil air defense project on the winter solstice.
Let the chef cook dumplings for everyone.
The aroma of pork and cabbage filling wafted far away, and the workers who smelled it immediately cheered.
Ye Manzhi shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Don't worry, everyone. Pay attention to safety when working. You can eat dumplings at noon!"
Several people rolled up their sleeves, set up a large iron pot, and cooked several pots of dumplings in full swing.
The warm aroma of food mixed in the cold air aroused the leader's appetite.
When Ye Manzhi was waving the spoon, he raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the director of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee who was inspecting the construction site.
She quickly greeted him, "Director Li!"
Director Li smiled and nodded, saying kindly, "Eating dumplings on the Winter Solstice is quite fitting for your factory. I can smell the fragrance from far away."
"Everyone has worked so hard, the factory organized a meal of dumplings for the families of the employees as a reward!" Ye Manzhi was stingy and didn't treat the leaders to dumplings. She only served a bowl of dumpling soup and said enthusiastically, "The weather is quite cold, would you like to have some dumpling soup to warm you up?"
Director Li did not refuse, took the enamel pot and took a sip.
He was deeply impressed by Ye Manzhi. When a discussion meeting was held in the city a few months ago, he immediately invested 1 million yuan, which was a rare decisiveness.
"How's the TV business at Shuguang Factory going? Is the production line in place?"
Ye Manzhi knew that he couldn't always pay attention to such trivial matters, so she explained the situation in detail. "Originally, the production line was scheduled to be delivered this month, but the factory hasn't received any notification yet. It will probably be delayed for a while..."
She came today to comfort the more than 40 workers and to deliver some dumplings.
I didn't expect to meet the city leaders, so I didn't make any preparations in advance.
But it was a rare opportunity to communicate face to face with city leaders, and she didn't want to give it up.
After a moment's silence, she smiled and said, "Director, although the production line isn't ready yet, our factory is already trying to reduce the production cost of televisions. We're striving to be self-sufficient as much as possible, reducing the city's financial burden and allowing the city to subsidize our televisions."
"Haha, that's a good idea. Try to be self-reliant and find ways to reduce costs."
Ye Manzhi knew that these city leaders didn't understand technical matters, so he spoke without a guilty conscience: "Yes, we are planning to set up a cathode ray tube workshop soon. If we produce cathode ray tubes ourselves, we can effectively reduce the cost of televisions."
"Oh, is there any progress now?"
"Yes, but there's something we'd like the city to help us coordinate." Ye Manzhi mentioned the Binjiang Chemical Factory, which had suffered losses of tens of millions and was causing headaches for the city leaders. "The production of cathode ray tubes requires a large amount of phosphor, but no chemical factory in our province can produce phosphor. Could the city let Binjiang Chemical Factory research it?"
Binjiang Chemical Plant suffered heavy losses and became nationally famous.
The electronics industry has been a top priority in the past two years. If chemical plants could provide phosphors for black-and-white television picture tubes, it might be a good way out.
Phosphors need a market, which is just right for launching the cathode ray tube project.
