Chapter 16

The larger the state-owned enterprise, the more luxurious the hostel, and the richer the wine and food.

For example, the guest house of the Qinghe Transportation Company was full of chicken, fish, meat, and eggs. For people in the early 1980s, eating a big meal was already very luxurious.

The guest house of the Red Star Rubber Factory has surpassed the level of chicken, fish, meat and eggs, and eating well. What people eat is grade and taste.

The guest house of the Hongxing Rubber Factory specially invited a Huaiyang cook, and the dishes made are meticulous and exquisite, and they are very stylish at first glance. The stewed lion head is fat but not greasy, the boiled dried silk is meticulously crafted, the squirrel mandarin fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour, these are all dishes that cannot be eaten in Qinghe.

Although there was no Maotai and Wuliangye on the dining table, the Gujing tribute wine in a transparent glass bottle was considered a high standard of hospitality at that time.

Drinking is easy to build relationships. After a few glasses of wine, the relationship between Li Weidong and Liu Xueqin became much closer. Li Weidong's address to Liu Xueqin changed to Liu Ge, while Liu Xueqin called him Li Weidong one by one.

I saw Li Weidong picked up a lion's head with chopsticks and took a bite, then said, Brother Liu, if I guessed correctly, the written report given by SAIC only said that your products are of poor quality. Passed, but didn't explain the reason for disqualification?

Brother Li even knows this! Liu Xueqin nodded and continued: I heard that the German engineer is responsible for the quality inspection. This German is not a good thing. Explain what is not qualified. We have to find the reason for ourselves, you are not angry!

The Germans think that we are backward and look down on others! Li Weidong continued: But since the Germans say that our products are substandard, there must be a reason. Let me give you an example, such as Santana's speakers, we The country can produce it by itself, the Germans require that the horn can be used 100,000 times, and the Santana they produce by themselves in Germany only requires 50,000 times.”

Why, they use 50,000 times themselves, but they want us to use 100,000 times. Isn't this deliberately embarrassing us! Liu Xueqin said angrily.

Li Weidong explained: This is because most of the roads in German cities are prohibited from honking the horn, and people do not allow honking, so a horn is enough for 50,000 times. But in our country, how can we drive without honking the horn? , 100,000 times may not be enough!

I see. Brother Li, you know a lot. Liu Xueqin nodded in agreement.

What Li Weidong said about the car horn is a record of the process of localization of Poussin in later generations, which can be found on the Internet. In 1984, this information was absolutely 100% internal information, and only the core personnel could master it.

Now these words are spoken from Li Weidong's mouth, which makes Liu Xueqin trust Li Weidong even more. Liu Xueqin firmly believes that Li Weidong has a very deep relationship with SAIC, so he can know this core internal information.

So Liu Xueqin asked, Brother Li, you said before that our products were unqualified because of the raw materials. What's wrong with our raw materials?

Li Weidong did not answer directly, but said, It seems that your Red Star Factory attaches great importance to this project!

Of course. Participating in the localization of Santana cars is a political task. Our factory attaches great importance to it from top to bottom. Our factory director takes the lead personally. : Brother Li, if you know anything, you have to help us!

Li Weidong drank the wine in the glass, then pretended to be three-point drunk, and said, Brother Liu, I helped you, you have to help me too!

Liu Xueqin knew that Li Weidong was bargaining, he patted his chest for fear, pretended to be very grand, and said, Brother Li, what do you want me to do?

Although open.

Li Weidong smiled slightly and said, Brother Liu, if I can help you find out the specific reasons for the unqualified product quality, you can give me 200 big car tires.

200 big car tires! Liu Xueqin immediately began to think.

What Li Weidong said about the batch of 200 large car tires is actually the sales quota for unplanned tires. With this sales quota, you can buy unplanned tires from the Red Star factory.

In the early 1980s, rubber products were a relatively scarce resource, and tires, as the most widely used consumables, were in short supply. At that time, if you wanted to buy tires, in addition to money, you had to look at the relationship, and the relationship was good enough to buy tires.

For Liu Xueqin, the sales quota of 200 tires is nothing more than moving his wrist and writing a note. The key is to write what the note can get.

In normal times, if you want to buy 200 tires from Liu Xueqin, it is probably not enough to send local specialties such as tangerines. The daily necessities, after all, these things are still available by ticket.

Whether it is pork, soap, or vanishing cream, they will be distributed as benefits to all the employees of the factory. Liu Xueqin will pick a few more pieces of fatty meat, or take an extra box of vanishing cream. Other than that, there is nothing practical benefit.

No matter how much pork, soap and vanishing cream you bring to the workers in the factory, the leaders in the factory may not always remember you, and the workers may not be able to remember you. Just be what you should do.

But if the reason for the unqualified product quality can be found out, Liu Xueqin can show his face in front of the factory leaders at least once and make a contribution, which is a real benefit to Liu Xueqin personally.

Leaders will remember you, feel that your comrade is very capable, and will give you more opportunities. When promoting cadres in the future, those who can be remembered by leaders will naturally be ranked higher.

Thinking of this, Liu Xueqin instantly made a decision.

I saw Liu Xueqin pouring Li Weidong a glass of wine, and said at the same time: Isn't it just 200 tires! Small idea, I'll write a note for you later.

Then thank you Brother Liu. Come on, I'll give Brother Liu a toast! Li Weidong said as he picked up the glass.

The two stopped drinking a glass of wine, and Li Weidong said, Brother Liu, the reason why your factory's products fail SAIC's quality inspection is because the raw materials are damp.

Although Liu Xueqin is the section chief of the sales office, he made it step by step from the workers in the workshop. He also knows a little about the technology. Of course, he is also very clear about the impact of the raw materials on the products.

Li Weidong went on to say, Brother Liu, after you go back, immediately go to your raw material warehouse and ask if it has rained when you overhauled the warehouse recently.

I understand. Liu Xueqin nodded suddenly. At this time, his mind was no longer on the wine table, but he couldn't wait to go back to the factory to verify whether what Li Weidong said was true or not.
