Chapter 501: You Can't Put Your Cakes in One Basket
Ziyi held a meeting with factory cadres to discuss the factory's production problems and affirmed the deputy director's proposal.
Ziyi agreed and said, "That's great, but we will need more parts in the future, and I'm afraid their factory alone won't be able to make them all. Besides, we can't put all our cakes in one basket."
Secretary Liu suggested: "There are still some factories in our county with poor performance. We can acquire them and set up our own branches to specialize in the production of various parts."
Ziyi said, "That's possible, but you need to arrange for someone to talk to us, and communicate with the county magistrate. In addition, we need to borrow some funds from the bank for turnover. The money for the production line was borrowed from a friend's company in the south. After we borrow the money from the bank, we can pay back the loan and use it for the branch factory."
Secretary Liu and the deputy director agreed with Ziyi's arrangement. Ziyi took out a design drawing and said to Engineer Li, "This is a new type of excavator developed by the laboratory, a tire-track dual-purpose excavator. This new type of excavator technology is not available abroad. In the field of excavator technology, we are the world leader, so this technology cannot be passed on to others for the time being. We will first apply for a patent from the higher-ups, and then produce it to see if we can sell it abroad to earn foreign exchange. Secretary, you should ask the higher-ups about this. I am not very clear about foreign-related policies."
Secretary Liu was particularly excited. The country attached great importance to the development of science and technology. Now their factory had developed a world-leading technology. It was not only a joyous and exciting thing, but also a great achievement.
The last time their superiors held a secretaries' meeting, he was praised for the first time in all these years, and many secretaries envied him.
Only he knew best that these were brought by the new factory director. He suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Director, our superiors said they would find time to visit our factory and visit this laboratory. But what should we do if we don't have a laboratory?"
Engineer Li immediately suggested, "How about converting that small warehouse into a laboratory and inviting those researchers to come over and do some demonstration work?"
Ziyi knew what Mr. Li was thinking, but how could he expose the researcher in front of others? Not to mention that there were still some spies lurking in this era, even in his previous life, hostile forces would try their best to plunder or kill some scientists with special talents in a certain field.
Ziyi said: "In order to protect the lives and research results of the researchers, I hope the superiors will understand that I will not bring them to the factory. In fact, I don't know either. They also sold the design drawings to me. I am just a partner of their cooperation. They should also have other partners."
The deputy factory director quickly said, "Forget it, forget it, Secretary, you can try to get away with it. We can't lose our trust with them because of this. In the future, they won't give us any good technology."
Li Gong suddenly lost interest and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. I almost made a big mistake. If anything bad happens to them because of my suggestion, I will be blamed for it."
Seeing Li Gong like this, Ziyi asked curiously, "What happened? It's just a suggestion, is it so serious?"
Li Gong lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "One of my friends has gone down."
Ziyi suddenly became interested and asked, "What friend?"
Li Gong replied: "Research."
Ziyi asked: "Where is the person? Do you know?"
Li Gong looked at Ziyi strangely and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know."
Ziyi did not ask any further questions and discussed the production matter with everyone again.
After the meeting, Ziyi kept Mr. Li.
Ziyi asked: "From the look on your face just now, are you sad about your friend's matter?"
Li Gong nodded and said, "Yes, when I was a student, I had a hard time making ends meet. My friend found out and helped me. But now I have no way to help him."
Ziyi added hot tea to his cup and comforted him: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. In fact, you can help him too."
Engineer Li stared at Ziyi and asked anxiously, "Do you mean to bring him to our factory?"
Ziyi's mouth twitched. These technical people are all stubborn.
"It's not like we're going to bring him to the factory. No one would agree to that. What I mean is, tell me where he is? I'll introduce him to the people in the research lab. They need talent, so they'll definitely find a way to get him into their lab."
Li Gong asked hesitantly: "Is this really possible?"
Ziyi said: "How do you know if it works if you don't try?"
Li Gong was still worried and asked, "Is it really not harmful to life?"
Ziyi looked at Li Gong as if he was an idiot. Li Gong said embarrassedly: "I'm just worried, worried."
Ziyi said: "Aren't you worrying for nothing? If he doesn't go to the laboratory, you should be worried. At least there will be no danger to his life in the laboratory, and he can still do what he likes."
Li Gong thought about it and made up his mind: "I will go and ask my classmates if anyone knows where he is."
Ziyi said, "Go ahead, go ahead. There's a phone over there. Go and call it."
Mr. Li thanked him gratefully and went straight to the office to make a phone call.
Ziyi dealt with some matters and then returned to the dormitory.
In the dormitory, Yike was still sleeping soundly. She was exhausted after taking both a boat and a car back from Xiangcheng.
Seeing Yike was still sleeping, Ziyi went to the cafeteria to get some food. On the way back, he was stopped by Mr. Li, who handed him an address and a letter.
Ziyi brought the food back to the dormitory and woke up Yike.
"How long have I slept? Why is it dark already?" Yi Ke asked lazily.
"It's been an afternoon. Can you still sleep tonight, little lazy pig?"
"Humph, I can't sleep so I disturb you. Let's see if you can still call me a lazy pig?"
"Okay, then go ahead and yell at me. Come on, wash your face and rinse your mouth."
Ziyi put his coat on Yike and pushed Yike to the bathroom.
"No, I don't want to wash. I still want to sleep." Yike yawned loudly and said coquettishly.
"Okay, if you don't want to wash it, I'll help you." Ziyi filled the cup with water and handed it to Yike's mouth.
Yike took a sip of water, gargled it out, then raised his head and waited.
Ziyi dipped the towel in water, wrung it dry, and then covered Yike's face with it.
Yi Ke grumbled, "Now that I'm awake, how can I spit at night?"
Ziyi hung up the towel, hugged Yike and walked out, coaxing: "Let's eat, then go for a walk, and come back to sing for you. I guarantee you will spit it out."
Yike was hugged by Ziyi and sat down at the dining table. She looked at Ziyi and said with a smile: "You said it, so don't cheat when the time comes."
Ziyi handed the chopsticks to Yike, "Don't be a jerk. Eat quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Yike picked up the chopsticks and started eating. The two chatted while eating...
