Chapter 965 Rejection
During this period, many people with some background became rich by relying on some privileges.
Today, automobile factories mainly produce 29-inch color TVs, which are exported and earn foreign exchange.
Of course, there is also a production line that produces 21-inch color TVs, which are basically sold domestically.
Moreover, the output is not small, with hundreds of televisions easily shipped out in a month, and the price is not cheap.
Logically speaking, such TVs should not be easy to sell. After all, it has only been a short time since the reform and opening up, and there are not so many rich people.
But the actual situation is that there are not enough people who want to buy it, and it is considered a lot if the supply and marketing cooperative can sell two machines a month.
At this time, some people started to set their sights on the automobile factory.
As long as you have the ability to get a quota for televisions from the car factory, you won't be at a loss.
The price offered by the supply and marketing cooperative is just a price. If you really want to bring the color TV home, you will definitely have to pay a higher price.
The automobile factory will only produce televisions within the production plan according to the requirements of the superior departments. Whoever comes with a note to get one will be given one as long as the automobile factory has stock. The automobile factory does not care which unit you are from or what you need it for.
This is true not only for color TVs, but for all scarce materials, the most typical example being steel.
What is most in short supply in the market today is houses, and the most indispensable thing for building houses is steel.
Whether it is bricks or cement, small workshops capable of producing these have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
But steel is a heavy industry and not that easy to handle.
At this time, Deputy Director Liu asked for the TV, and Chen Changan didn't want anything to go wrong.
"Director Liu, it's not that I don't want to help you. If you really don't understand what's going on here, I can give you a brief explanation.
The televisions produced by the automobile factory are mainly divided into two parts.
The first part is the domestic production indicators. This is a 21-inch color TV, mainly supplied to the domestic market.
Since it is a planned television, the small quantity produced each year is fixed. As long as the superior department agrees, anyone can come and pick up the goods directly with the receipt.
The other part is mainly exported to earn foreign exchange, such as 29-inch color TVs.
These color TVs are used to earn foreign exchange and are generally shipped to Hong Kong Island. Of course, if you are willing to buy them from us with foreign exchange, our factory will also sell them.
As for seeing televisions produced by our factory in the southern market, there are two possibilities.
The first is that someone got a note from the higher authorities, picked up the color TVs and shipped them to the south to sell them. This has nothing to do with our automobile factory.
Another possibility is that someone bought a TV from Hong Kong Island, sold it at a high price, and then exchanged it for foreign currency through other channels.
This also has nothing to do with our automobile factory. As for the unplanned production of 21-inch color TVs.
Let me make it clear to you that very few of them are basically welfare benefits for factory workers and are sold to factory workers at cost price, but not everyone can buy them.
The main reason is that our automobile factory produces too many products, and we simply don’t have the workers, energy, or raw materials to produce the right TV sets.”
After listening to Chen Changan's explanation, Deputy Director Liu looked apologetic.
“Thank you Director Chen for telling me, I still don’t know enough about the automobile factory.
I thought that car factories, like other factories, would have a large number of unplanned products.
Yes, most of the products of automobile factories need to be exported, I was wrong.
It's okay. I'll go to the steel mill across the street and ask. My brother-in-law doesn't have a proper job. If I don't find him something to do, he'll run around everywhere every day.
But I think steel is unreliable, and selling televisions is more of a serious business.
OK, that's it, I'll take the money, and you don't have to worry about the follow-up matters."
Watching Deputy Director Liu leaving, Chen Changan immediately thought of Deputy Director Liu as someone he could not have close relations with.
What steel is unreliable? It’s obvious that they want to tie his brother-in-law to the car factory.
If something really goes wrong, we hope that we can rely on the reputation of the automobile factory to prevent our superiors from imposing less punishment or only impose less punishment.
Nowadays, many products are being priced higher in the hands of different people before they even leave the factory.
Many in-demand materials cannot be purchased without paying a higher price, especially steel.
Chen Changan didn't want to get involved in such things, so he immediately convened a meeting of factory leaders.
Chen Changan once again emphasized that all products except those in the plan need to be exported, and everyone must follow the procedures.
The wages and benefits in the factory are not bad. If you really feel that the wages are too low, just quit and start your own business. Don't do anything tricky in the car factory.
Chen Changan's guess was correct. The prices of many products continued to increase, and were already several times higher than the normal prices.
Especially for those who deal in steel, the steel has not yet been produced in the factory, and those who have the approval certificate can double their money by reselling it.
The person who took over later made double the profit by reselling it again, and by the time the company that needed the steel reached a certain point, the price had already reached a sky-high level.
As the construction units complained, the higher authorities finally took action.
As soon as the official document "Notice on Resolutely Stopping Local Resale Activities" was issued, many people immediately gave up the idea of reselling.
At the same time, Uncle Nie attached great importance to this matter. After all, the heavy industrial factories were basically under the jurisdiction of Uncle Nie.
As a result, all the heads of several subordinate enterprises in the city were immediately called to a meeting.
Wu Wentao bought a few big meat buns from the workers' canteen early in the morning and then came to the factory.
Today he was assigned to guard the factory gate, which was much easier than guarding the gate in a residential area.
The reputation of the automobile factory's security department is still very famous. Most people have to speed up their pace even when passing by the factory's gate.
If you walk slowly, you will be stared at closely by the people in the gatehouse.
Apart from the few cars coming in and out every day, the rest is standing guard when getting off work.
Now that living conditions are better, few people are willing to bring food home.
As for stealing, there is no such thing. It would be a big loss if you lose your job for a little profit.
"Xiao Liu, keep an eye on it for me. I'll play the video game for a while."
Xiao Liu, who was standing next to him, had just transferred to the automobile factory this year. When he heard what Wu Wentao said, he wanted to refuse.
But when he thought about the relationship between Wu Wentao and Li Chenglin, he ended up not saying much.
It's not easy to get into the Security Department of the Automobile Factory. If it weren't for the connections at home and Chief Ruan, there would be no way I could get in.
Now, in the context of a million-strong military downsizing, I am a newcomer and the other party is a team leader like Wu Wentao. I should just consider it as a blessing in disguise.
Xiao Liu took the cigarette thrown by Wu Wentao, put it aside, took out his own cigarette and lit it.
Having just left the army, I am somewhat uncomfortable with Wu Wentao's behavior.
Maybe in a few years, Xiao Liu will be like Wu Wentao, and even rush to play video games.
