Chapter 5 The Big Shots of Huangling Village
There are no programs on TV until half past six, first children's programs, then news broadcasts, then some special programs, and it's time for TV dramas at around eight o'clock.
Now is the day when the Xiangang TV series "Huo Dongge" is broadcast. Everyone is waiting to watch this TV series.
Today, a big shot unexpectedly appeared in the Yang Wan family, An Minghai, the director of the commune machinery factory.
An Minghai can be said to be the most distinguished person who has appeared in Huangling Village since the 1970s.
His family does not live in Donggou, Huangling Village, but in the north, and he also has a TV set at home. God knows that he wandered to Yang Wan's house tonight because of Mao Hui.
When he came, he naturally took the seat, and he occupied the best seat on the kang outside Yang's house.
After Jiang Yu entered the house, he saw An Minghai hesitated: "Hello, third uncle!"
When An Minghai saw Jiang Yu, he also had a question mark on his head: "Whose family do you belong to? Why don't I remember it?"
"The boss of the Jiang Dongsheng family." Yang Wan answered first.
"Is that the boy who served in the army for three years and never came home?"
"That's right! It's him! He just came back from demobilization."
"Come on! Come and sit next to Third Uncle. Third Uncle will ask you something."
Jiang Yu sat on the edge of the kang next to An Minghai a little embarrassed.
"I heard that you were a scout in the army. Have you been on the front line?" An Minghai also joined the army when he was young. He was very interested in things in the army.
Jiang Yu shook his head: "I haven't been there. Our troops didn't catch up. It was almost our turn to go up for training. We all got on the train and came back."
"Alas! Just like Third Uncle back then, Third Uncle's unit got on the train after receiving the order. Not far away, he received an order saying that the battle over there was over. I really didn't expect that the other side's army was so stupid. We regular troops still
Before I could go up there, the border guards almost hit their capital, and maybe my third uncle would be able to get a first-class merit medal to wear."
An Minghai looked regretful.
His regret was justified. As far as Jiang Yu knew, if they had gone up at that time, it would have been a first-class meritorious service.
"Uncle Third! Now everything is contracted, isn't your machine factory contracted?"
"Contracting? The commune machinery factory is almost out of business, who is blind enough to contract it?"
"Oh! Isn't the machinery factory inefficient?" The commune machinery factory mainly produces hammer crushers. Wasn't it good before he joined the army?
"Oh! Don't mention it! Product sales have been falling off a cliff since last year, and it's even worse this year. Employees only receive basic wages, and next year they won't even be able to pay their basic wages."
"Uncle San! What does your machinery factory produce now?"
"It's still a crusher! We have been producing it since the factory was built."
"Is it still the same old crusher? Hasn't it changed at all?"
"If something was selling well in the past, who would bother to change it?"
Jiang Yu understood that in his last life he was the owner of a small private machining company and had a fairly good understanding of some industrial products.
"Uncle San! Is this why the crusher in your factory is unsaleable? The machine itself is heavy, consumes a lot of power, and the particles are uneven when processing grains. Finally, the price is high."
An Minghai thought for a while and looked at Jiang Yu in surprise: "Why do you feel like you are from our factory? How did you know? This is really what happened."
"Uncle Third! I am not only a soldier in the army, but also teach some techniques in my spare time. I am quite good at some less complex industrial products. Since I am right, do you want to change the status quo?"
"I want to change, but how?"
"Products are updated to adapt to new markets!"
"It's easy to say, what kind of upgrade product can I use?"
"At present, the land in rural areas has been contracted. In the future, every family will need a miniaturized crusher. If you just improve the crusher and make it smaller, it will be over."
"It's easy to say! Do you know how much it costs to buy the drawings of a new model? Once you have the drawings, you still need to make molds. Besides, there are no miniaturized crushers on the market?"
There are no miniaturized household crushers on the market because the demand has not yet emerged.
Land contracting only started last year, and it will take a development process for these demands to emerge.
Jiang Yu thought for a while and said slowly: "What a coincidence. When I was learning technology in the army, I actually disassembled a new type of small crusher. It was very advanced, at least fifteen years more advanced than your product.
, I can draw the drawings for you."
"Really? That's great! Maybe our machinery factory will come back to life."
"Don't be too happy now. This drawing was not made in vain. You go back to the factory and study it with the cadres of your factory. I want money. If this factory belongs to you, Uncle San, can I give it to you with both hands?"
, but the factory is owned by the public, so this cannot be given away for free."
At this moment, Jiang Yu suddenly felt that what he had boasted about at home might be realized.
"Then how much do you want?"
"Don't rush to discuss this now. Give me three days, I will draw the drawings, and then let the technical staff of your factory study it. If you think it is okay, we can then study the money issue."
"Okay! If it really works, we'll discuss it then." An Minghai agreed readily.
Jiang Yu chatted with them in the outside room for a while, and then came to the inner room.
I'll go! The kang in the back room is full of people, and there are two benches on the ground.
"Brother Jiang Yu! Come sit on the kang, I have room here." Just when Jiang Yu was about to stand on the ground for a while, Bai Feng called him on the kang.
"I'm not going up. I'll stand on the ground for a while and then go home." There are only girls sitting on the kang, so it's nothing for him to run on the kang.
"Brother Jiang Yu! Are you afraid that these girls on the kang will take advantage of you? As a soldier, are you afraid of this?" Bai Wuxin is really not afraid of causing trouble.
"Yes, yes! We don't eat people, so what are you afraid of?"
The other girls started making noises.
No matter how much the other party made noises, Jiang Yu did not get on the kang. After the Xinwen Network performance was over, he went home alone.
That guy Jiang Bin has gone somewhere, I guess he won't be able to come back until "Huo Dongge" is finished.
Jiang Yu took off his clothes and got into bed. Sleeping at midnight was a habit he had developed in the army.
December 23 is the twelfth day of the winter month in the lunar calendar.
Every second and seventh day of the lunar calendar is the market day of Jianshan Commune.
After breakfast, Jiang Yu pushed out the old Baishan bicycle at home.
He was going to the commune and the market to buy some things.
Chapter completed!
