1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 305 Director Su, if you just give us a little time, I will definitely repay you!

Meanwhile, Su Wenchen and his group also arrived at the factory's office area.

Liu Guangde walked at the front, and as soon as he entered a two-story red brick building, someone immediately came to greet him.

"Director, what brings you to our factory today?"

Liu Guangde said without giving him any face.

"Don't you all know why I'm here?"

"Where is Wang Youfa?!"

"Haven't you received a message yet? Tell him to come see me!"

Hearing Liu Guangde's blunt words, and seeing Su Wenchen and Zhao Weiguo behind him, even though he didn't recognize Su Wenchen.

But he naturally recognized Zhao Weiguo, who came over every day.

He knew that this time it was the farm that had come to him.

"Director, the factory manager just went to the workshop. Please have some water in the office and wait. I'll call the factory manager back right away."

"Xiao Su, why aren't you pouring water for the director and the guests?"

Su Wenchen was taken aback when he heard this, and then saw a young man who looked not very old come out of the office to pour water for the group.

He immediately realized he had misunderstood.

Upon seeing Su Wenchen's expression, Liu Guangde immediately spoke.

"Director Su, I'm sorry."

"He must have been calling for this young comrade. Please be understanding!"

Su Wenchen smiled and shook his head.

"Director Liu, you're overthinking it. It's nothing."

Su Wenchen also knew that although the Su surname was not as common as the Li, Wang, Zhang, and Liu surnames, it was not a particularly rare surname.

So he wasn't really that concerned.

But just two minutes after that person left, he returned with a middle-aged man wearing dark blue overalls.

As soon as Wang Youfa entered the room and saw Liu Guangde and Su Wenchen, he immediately forced a smile and quickly stepped forward to say something.

"Director Liu, why didn't you give us advance notice before your inspection? We could have prepared our reports!"

"This must be Director Su from Blue Water Farm!"

"I've heard so much about you! It's truly an honor to meet you today, a young man of such talent!"

Upon seeing this, Su Wenchen responded with a cold laugh.

"Director Wang is probably mistaken. In your eyes, shouldn't it be that we are young and easy to bully?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere instantly turned cold, and Wang Youfa could only try to ease the tension.

"Director Su is joking. It's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

Liu Guangde snorted coldly and waved his hand dismissively.

"Stop talking nonsense. In front of so many people today, I'm asking you, what's going on with the Dongfanghong-75 tractors at Lanshui Farm? The Changzhou factory clearly ordered four, so why were only three assembled in the end?"

"There are only three places where we can contact people: the Changzhou factory, the freight station, and your factory."

“If it were just a missing part, I could understand, but the whole machine is missing.”

"Think it over before you tell me your answer. If you're sure it's not your factory's problem, I'll personally call the freight station and the comrades in Changzhou right here today."

"I refuse to believe that such a large object as a tractor could just vanish into thin air!"

Upon hearing Liu Guangde's words, Wang Youfa's forehead instantly broke out in a fine sweat. He knew that this time there was really no way to delay any longer.

In the end, all I could do was sigh.

"Director, this time it was my fault. I'm sorry to Blue Water Farm. That tractor was indeed borrowed by our factory without permission."

"However, Director Su, if you just give us a little time, I will definitely repay you!"

Upon hearing this, Su Wenchen immediately had a bad feeling.

"Director Wang, as far as I know, you are an agricultural machinery factory, so you shouldn't have any land that needs to be cultivated, right?"

For Su Wenchen, if he was really just borrowed for a few days, the matter would be easy to resolve.

But if things really turn out the way he thinks, then things will be complicated.

Even if we deal with them, it would be a huge loss if their farm machinery couldn't be brought back to the farm intact.

Upon hearing Su Wenchen's words, Liu Guangde reacted instantly, and his voice suddenly rose several octaves.

"Wang Youfa! How dare you dismantle state-allocated agricultural machinery without authorization?"

"I order you to immediately gather the best skilled workers in the factory and restore the tractor to its original condition. As for those responsible, I will deal with you after the restoration is complete."

Wang Youfa, however, looked rather pale and sighed.

"Director, if it could be restored, we would have already restored it and let Blue Water Farm go back."

He knew that this time he couldn't escape it no matter what.

I might as well just say it directly.

"Director, let me take you to see it!"

After saying that, he led the group directly to the assembly workshop.

In the huge workshop, there were various cranes, small hoists and other equipment.

The ground was divided into numerous areas, each containing neatly arranged tractor parts that had been dismantled.

Su Wenchen walked over to a place where tractor engines were kept and took a look, only to find that even the engine had been disassembled. No wonder the other party didn't have the ability to put it back in its original state.

Su Wenchen took a deep breath, walked up to Liu Guangde, and said in a deep voice.

"Director Liu, these large tractors are important tools for our spring plowing, and now one of them has been dismantled like this."

“You have to give us an explanation, otherwise I can’t explain this to the ministry or to the employees in our factory.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangde took a deep breath and looked at Wang Youfa with a livid expression.

He turned and called out to his secretary, who was reaching out to follow him.

"Xiao Zhang, go and call the comrades from the Industry Bureau and the Cadre Section of the Municipal Organization Department to come over, and ask the Public Security Bureau to send people to cooperate in conducting a full investigation into this matter."

"Director Su, we will definitely deal with the relevant person in charge of this matter seriously and give you a satisfactory explanation."

After hearing Liu Guangde's words, most people in the workshop knew that the city was serious this time.

Because the Industry Bureau was specifically in charge of them, and another cadre section at that time was specifically in charge of various violations of rules and regulations by municipal leaders.

With the police cooperating, they're preparing to raid their factory!
Upon seeing this, an older, experienced craftsman directly expressed his dissatisfaction to Su Wenchen.

"Why are you being so aggressive, young man? Didn't you drive back three vehicles? That should be enough for spring planting for now."

“Once we can disassemble this tractor and replicate it, your farm will also benefit.”

Why can't you give us more time?

Su Wenchen looked at the other party coldly.

"Is your factory morally blackmailing us?"

The old master snorted coldly.

“I don’t know anything about moral blackmail. I just know that if our factory can master this technology, it will benefit both your farm and the country.”

The experienced worker clearly understands the current situation. Only if Blue Water Farm doesn't pursue the matter will the city consider letting them off the hook. Otherwise, this incident could cause unrest throughout the entire factory.

However, Su Wenchen had no intention of considering others.

Moreover, trying to gain an advantage over them verbally is a mistake; he won't fall for moral blackmail.

He's the one who kidnaps others; when will it be his turn to be kidnapped?

Su Wenchen then sneered.

"This old master, you certainly speak with great righteousness, constantly talking about the country."

"But what you've done is really hard to believe!"

“You clearly had many options, but you chose this method that violated the rules.”

Did you communicate with us before disassembling it?

"Or did you report to your superiors and obtain their permission?"

"Or have you reached an agreement with the factory in Changzhou, and they're willing to authorize you to produce there?"

The old master craftsman curled his lip.

"What's there to authorize? We can produce it ourselves once we learn how."

"They're all producing equipment for the country, how could they not allow it!"

Su Wenchen sneered.

"You've dismantled national heavy equipment without a single approval! You're really bold!"

“You could have gone to their factory to talk and learn, or had your superiors coordinate with their superiors.”

"Our country doesn't only have one tractor factory that can produce this kind of heavy-duty tractor, does it?"

"Including the Changzhou factory, didn't they also obtain their technology licenses from the First Tractor Manufacturing Plant in Henan?"

"What? You think you're the smartest?"

"You want to get technology for free without paying anything in return!"

"If everyone studied like you, constantly intercepting other units' equipment to disassemble and study it without permission, how would those units be able to carry out their work?"

The other party retorted directly.

"What good will it do your farm if our factory has problems?"

After saying that, she looked at Liu Guangde pleadingly.

"Director Liu, several thousand employees in our factory are counting on this dismantling work!"

"If our transformation goes wrong, the factory will be in big trouble!"

Su Wenchen snorted coldly.

"I think it's best to find out the truth. Just from what you're saying, I can tell that there are already problems in your factory."

"Even if you do manage to master these technologies through dismantling, are you sure you have the capability to convert your existing production line into one capable of producing these heavy-duty tractors?"

"Or are you planning to have all the parts machined out by hand?"

Su Wenchen knew that at this time, the core components of many classified devices did indeed need to be manually hammered by master craftsmen.

However, these are also key core components. If everything had to be hand-built from start to finish, at least in terms of tractor production, the production efficiency would be quite poor.

Upon meeting Su Wenchen, they immediately identified the most crucial aspect of their factory's future operations.

Wang Youfa had no choice but to step forward and speak to Liu Guangde.

"Director, as long as the city's industrial bureau allocates one last sum of money to us, our factory will definitely be able to come back to life."

"Director Su, we will also compensate your farm and provide you with a few more large tractors. What do you think?"
