The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 278 Opening

With the support of his superiors, Liu Hua finally made up his mind.

The leader praised him and said, "Professor Liu, I never thought that you have a business mind. This method seems familiar to me."

The leader pressed his temple and said, "I remember now. Seagull's point-and-shoot camera, no, it's a smart camera. The machine is simply losing money to gain publicity, but the film makes a lot of money."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "This idea was also mine."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The leader laughed and said, "Tell me, why did you come up with such an idea for Seagull?"

"I managed to get some research funds from them to research digital cameras." Liu Hua spread his hands helplessly: "Due to the current computer hardware conditions, this digital camera is not very profitable. I have to give them an explanation and not let them lose money in vain, so I came up with this idea."

"It's a good idea." The leader nodded: "It's just a little bit, but it's not very good."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "If the national economy wants to develop, consumption must be stimulated. I can't stimulate too much consumption, but I am sure of the three or five yuan of film money."

The leader looked around and saw a digital camera on the display shelf. He pointed at it and asked, "Is that the digital camera you developed?"

Liu Hua motioned Lu Yuanshan to take the camera, and then handed it to the leader: "This is what our laboratory should have made, but the effect is no worse than mature products. The only pity is that the hardware development is not up to par now. It can only store 20 photos, and the photo clarity can only be said to be so-so."

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time. Scientific development also follows rules." The leader said with a smile: "The most difficult thing is to go from zero to one. It's not that difficult to go from one to one hundred."

Turning around, the leader said to the students, "You are very lucky to have met a good teacher. He has made a good start for our country's semiconductor industry. He has completed the most difficult process from zero to one, and you will add icing on the cake in the process from one to one hundred. You are all young people, the rising sun. I hope you will live up to your youth and create more achievements."

Applause from the audience, applause from those who understood.

The state has finally issued a document allowing private enterprises to be affiliated with collective units, so that the number of employees will no longer be restricted to seven. From now on, private enterprises will begin to take big strides forward.

The first thing Liu Hua did was to find a qualified factory director. In fact, Li Huaide should be a very qualified candidate, but now he is doing very well in the department and there is no way he would condescend to work in Liu Hua's factory.

Li Huaide knew that Liu Hua needed such a person, so he recommended one to him. This is how Li Huaide took care of Liu Hua.

"This guy, he doesn't have much ability, but he completes the task without compromise." Li Huaide said regretfully: "If he had a little more pioneering and enterprising ability and the ability to adapt, Lao Yang would not have been able to return to the position of director of the steel rolling mill. Because of me, he is now sitting on the bench. Just for the sake of our friendship, please give him a hand. He will retire in a few years, which is just right for him to survive the period when you start your business."

Ju Wei looks honest. He was the person recommended by Li Huaide. He was in charge of production during Li Huaide's era, but because he always completed the tasks assigned by Li Huaide without fail, he has never attracted much attention.

"Old Ju, thank you for your help."

Ju Wei was a little reserved: "Mr. Liu, I am the one who is bothering you. I am a coward and I didn't dare to fight back when that guy surnamed Yang bullied me. In the end, I could only leave the steel mill in disgrace."

"Every inch has its own merits. Don't think about the unpleasant things that happened before." Liu Hua comforted him, "I know you are worried about the retirement issue. After leaving the public sector, you will no longer have a pension. But it doesn't matter. Don't worry. After working for me for ten years, you won't care about that little pension."

Liu Hua took Old Ju to visit their new factory. Old Ju shook his head at the desolate factory. "This place is very poor." Old Ju shook his head and said, "There are only a few broken equipments. Our steel mill was eliminated ten years ago. We can't do anything."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "This is your mission."

Liu Hua counted on his fingers and said, "First, renovate the factory building according to the previous standards of our steel mill, hang up signs, and make sure it is leveled and connected."

Old Ju looked at the more than 30 people in the factory and nodded: "No problem, these are all small matters."

"Second, you have been in the steel mill for many years. You were in charge of production and know a lot of people. Find those old technicians who have just retired or retired not long ago. They must have special skills."

"No problem, it's just a matter of money."

"You won't lose money." Liu Hua said with a smile: "The most important thing is to find me some technicians who understand the technology. You can't ask me to go to the production site and explain the production techniques to the workers in the future. I don't really understand them either."

Old Ju readily agreed: "It's not a problem. I know all the key production workers, such as fitters and lathe operators in the steel rolling mill, and I guarantee that everything will be done properly."

"That's fine."

Old Ju looked at Liu Hua and said nothing. After a while, he asked, "Mr. Liu, don't blame me for being nosy. Although I only know production, I have learned a lot over the years. Now, to run a business, you must at least have sales. It's no longer a unified purchase and sales, especially since we are a private enterprise."

"Don't worry, I'll find the salesperson."

Old Ju asked again: "Engineer Liu, there is also the problem of equipment. With these broken machines, we can't produce anything."

"You just need to take good care of my property, and don't worry about the rest."

Salesperson Liu Hua had already identified Xu Damao. Although this guy is smooth-talking and sometimes brings trouble upon himself, you have to admit that he has a good grasp of the ways of the world.

Liu Hua and Xu Damao have never had a very close relationship, so this time he specially invited Xu Damao to dinner at Hongbinlou and asked Sha Zhu to bring him along.

At first Xu Damao thought that Sha Zhu was teasing him, but later he believed it after Sha Zhu swore and swore.

When the two met, Xu Damao was still a little uneasy because the dishes Liu Hua ordered were too sumptuous, which made Xu Damao suspect that the banquet was not good.

"Mr. Liu, if you have something to say, just tell me. I, Xu Damao, am a nobody and have no ability. I feel a little uneasy about your hospitality to me."

Liu Hua smiled and poured him a glass of wine: "Xu Damao, where are you working recently?"

"Jiaodaokou Cinema." Xu Damao sighed, "The steel mill didn't want to show movies in its propaganda song, so I used my connections to go to Jiaodaokou. However, I'm afraid this job won't be a stable one. Jiaodaokou Cinema was classified as a dangerous building at the beginning of the year."
