Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Facing his son-in-law's confident face, Chen Dehui thought for a moment and decisively shut his mouth.

It is no longer the same as it was a decade ago, and my son-in-law’s current strength is beyond my reach.

In front of him, Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family were like a small boat in the ocean, facing the rough sea, without any ability to resist.

Just as Wang Dong just said, if he really intends to take back the house where Yi Zhonghai is currently living, Qin Huairu and the Jia family will have no choice but to accept the fact and will have no room for resistance.

He immediately agreed: "Okay..."

"Now that you've made your decision, go for it..."

After informing his family about Yi Zhonghai's situation, Wang Dong immediately turned his attention to his wife Chen Jun: "Sister Jun..."

"How are the production and customers of the steel mill doing recently..."

"I heard that there are several privately controlled steel mills in our city. Although their production scale and strength cannot compare with the steel mills, their costs are very low, and the steel mills have not been affected."

Chen Jun smiled bitterly and replied: "Even an outsider like you knows about this. The factory leaders are still living in a dream and don't care about those newly established private steel mills at all."

"The sales department brought this up at the factory leadership meeting, but the factory leaders, led by Director Yang, did not take it seriously."

"They think that steel mills are state-owned factories, and those privately-owned steel mills are private enterprises, and they are definitely not as competitive as state-owned factories."

"Although the steel mill has received fewer orders recently, they are all small-scale orders and the factory leaders do not take them seriously."

"They also said that as long as the steel mills can keep those big orders in their hands, they don't have to worry about the private steel mills."

"They completely ignored the competition outside and just lived off their old capital."

"I heard that two steel mills in Beijing have already lowered their prices to compete with private enterprises for orders."

“We still implement piecework in the factory.”

"Whoever works more will get a higher salary, which can motivate workers to be more productive and eliminate those who like to cheat in the workshop, thus reducing costs."

"I also brought this up at the meeting, but it was rejected by the factory leaders who like to stick to the status quo."

"Later, when I wanted to talk to the factory leaders about this, my master stopped me."

"Master is now the deputy factory director and concurrently the director of the production department. He has moved up a level and understands the factory leaders' ideas better than I do."

"He told me that the current leadership of the steel mill is beyond saving."

"Not only did I earn a high salary at the steel mill, I also arranged for many of my relatives and friends to work in various departments of the steel mill to receive their salaries."

"I have no skills, but my salary is higher than many skilled workers."

"If the steel mill really decides to distribute according to work, with more work paid more and less work paid less, the relatives of the factory leaders will definitely be the most affected."

"In order not to affect the income of myself and my relatives and friends, even though I knew that the system of distribution according to work was beneficial to the steel mill, I still decided to use the big pot system in the production workshop."

"As for the future of the steel mill..."

"In the words of the master, they are the leaders of the steel mill and have the status of cadres."

"If the steel mill really cannot continue to operate and closes down one day, their superiors will transfer them to other units and they will still receive high salaries. It won't be affected at all."

"As for whether the workers down there will go hungry because of the factory closure, that has nothing to do with the high-ranking leaders like them."

"No matter how much I raise my concerns, it's impossible to change their minds." "Rather than angering these factory leaders and ruining my career prospects, I'd rather do my job well and do my best to ensure that the parts produced by the steel mill have no quality problems, so as to balance the income and expenditure of the steel mill."

"But the master also said that even if he and I try to maintain it, the steel mill will break even in a year at most."

“No matter who comes, it will not be able to change the bankruptcy of the steel mill.”

In the plot of "Siheyuan", the steel mill ultimately did not escape bankruptcy, which means that this is an inevitable trend and no one can change it.

Even if I were still a member of the steel mill, I couldn't change it, not to mention that I have now resigned from the steel mill.

From Wang Dong's perspective in the future, there is only one way to change the situation of the steel mill's closure: "Destroy it and then rebuild it..."

But now the person in charge of the steel mill is not his wife, nor his wife's master, nor himself.

There was no way to break it down and then rebuild it, and I could only watch him decline step by step.

Thinking of this, a very bold idea suddenly popped up in Wang Dong's mind.

Can I acquire the steel mill and become the real boss behind the steel mill?

In this way, I can develop the steel mill according to my own ideas.

The steel rolling mill has a large number of production equipment and many excellent technicians. Even if they can't make rockets by hand, they can definitely make some popular industrial products in later generations by hand.

With his forward-looking vision and the steel mill's strong reserve of technical talent, he would definitely make a lot of money if he could convert the steel mill into a processing plant.

The more Wang Dong thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible.

But now is not the time to acquire a steel mill.

The government will certainly not easily sell a large-scale steel rolling mill that employs tens of thousands of people and is still profitable to an individual for the sake of the workers' stability.

To take a step back, even if the government wanted to sell it to an individual, it would not be able to buy it with its current assets.

The best way is to wait until the steel mill can no longer operate. If it is not sold, it will go bankrupt. Then you can buy the steel mill at the lowest price.

But in this case, my wife Chen Jun is obviously not suitable to continue staying in the steel mill.

If I really have the opportunity to buy a steel mill in the future, my wife, as a cadre, will definitely be transferred from the steel mill.

At that time, the superiors would most likely believe that the steel mill was going downhill step by step due to poor management by my wife and those factory leaders, which would in turn affect my wife's future appointment and future.

But these problems will not arise if my daughter-in-law is transferred away from the steel mill now.

Although the current steel mills are also on the decline, at least they are still profitable.

Now that she has been transferred from the steel rolling mill, my daughter-in-law's status as a criminal will be transformed into that of a successful minister, and she may even be further reused.

Plus, my wife is a college student, so she will definitely have a bright future in the new company.

Thinking of this, Wang Dong immediately put forward his own idea: "Wife..."

"Since we are not happy working in the steel mill, why don't we change to another unit..."

"Ask your master to help me. I will also look for some senior leaders I know. It will definitely be no problem to find you a new unit." (End of this chapter)
