1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 310 Since that's the case, we'll reluctantly accept it!
Upon hearing Li Xingguo's words, Su Wenchen understood what he meant.

So he simply shook his head.

"If you're saying you want to send it to our facility for renovation, then we don't want it!"

"You can just send it to the farm in your city!"

Su Wenchen didn't want to make himself miserable for no reason.

Su Wenchen didn't really hate the leadership team of the agricultural machinery factory.

However, it's impossible to say that I have absolutely no opinions!
This wasted their time for no reason, how could Su Wenchen not have any objections? Of course, the main reason was that the other party was not a particularly outstanding talent.

After so many days of dismantling, they still haven't figured out how to reassemble it properly. To be honest, in Su Wenchen's heart, these people naturally don't hold any real status.

Otherwise, if they were truly exceptional industrial talents...

In Su Wenchen's eyes, there was no such thing as offending or not offending; it was simply a case of "no fight, no friendship"!

It's all a misunderstanding!

Of course, if they were truly such powerful figures, they wouldn't have fallen so low as to need to secretly dismantle their machines.

So Su Wenchen really didn't like them, and naturally he didn't want to accept them.

As for the idea of ​​deliberately tormenting someone after getting them over to vent his anger, Su Wenchen had no such intention.

Because he is an extremely pragmatic person, this kind of meaningless venting will not bring any benefits.

On the contrary, if word gets out, your superiors will think you are a petty person, which will lower their evaluation of you.

Therefore, for Su Wenchen, once the compensation is in place, the most appropriate course of action regarding the people involved is to follow the normal national procedures.

If he interferes too much, he will only get negative benefits.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingguo's eyes clearly flashed with disappointment, but he still continued to persuade him.

"Director Su, these people have some knowledge of tractors. After you take them over, it's unlikely that you can directly build a tractor factory."

"But they can fix tractors and things like that without any problem, and you don't even have to pay them wages."

Su Wenchen thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"It's too much trouble. It would require managing these people, and if problems arise, we'd have to communicate with the city or even the province. I'd rather not take advantage of that."

Li Xingguo shook his head repeatedly.

"No trouble at all, Director Su. They won't run away. As for the others, just make sure they don't starve."

Su Wenchen asked suspiciously.

"No, why are you always targeting our farm for deliveries?"

"I remember there's a Huxi Farm in the next county, right? Why don't you just send it there?"

Li Xingguo smiled wryly.

"Although Huxi Farm is located in the city, it is still a provincial farm!"

"Moreover, it's mainly because of the old agricultural machinery factory; there were some unpleasant disputes between them!"

"It's fine for other people to send it over, but it's a problem for these people from the agricultural machinery factory."

"As for some other small farms in the city, they don't have the qualifications to accept them at all."

Su Wenchen asked with some curiosity.

"No, you're worried about others causing trouble for them because the agricultural machinery factory has had some unpleasant experiences with them?"

"Haven't there been some unpleasantnesses with us in the stadium too?"

"Aren't you worried that I'll cause them trouble when I get back?"

To be honest, Su Wenchen was speechless about the agricultural machinery factory. Good heavens, they just keep offending farm units!
Li Xingguo shook his head directly.

"I can tell that you're not the kind of person who nitpicks over small things, Director Su!"

"Besides, the two units aren't at the point of life and death. Even if you cause trouble and vent your anger, they'll suffer at most, but no one will die."

Su Wenchen was genuinely surprised to hear this.

Good heavens, it's gotten to the point of life and death? What did this farm machinery factory dismantle for them?!

Did they demolish the entire factory headquarters?

Seeing Su Wenchen's surprised look, but since it involved something not particularly respectable, Li Xingguo didn't say anything explicitly.

Instead, he changed the subject.

"Director Su, just tell me directly what it would take for you to accept this position?"

Su Wenchen frowned.

"If you can't arrange for them to work elsewhere, why not just assign them to work in your factory? We've already cut our paychecks to the bottom, and they can work for your factory without even having to pay us wages."

"Besides, you also said that they all have some technical skills, isn't that a good thing for your factory?"

Li Xingguo first glanced around, and after finding that no one was paying attention to the two of them, he sighed.

"Director Su, to be honest with you, some people in the province have indeed expressed their intention to let them stay in our factory."

"In the early years, the agricultural machinery factory was a large factory that started up around the same time as the heavy machinery factory in our area, and some of our leaders also came from here!"

"It's not about protecting anyone or anything. For those who really cause problems, the higher-ups will deal with them if necessary."

"But there's still some old-fashioned bond between us and the master craftsmen who stayed behind!"

"If these veteran workers remain on the site, and if some employees are dissatisfied during the merger and try to sway them, then the merger will inevitably cause a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Su Wenchen nodded slightly. He now understood why Li Xingguo had sent these people away.

He was sending these people away precisely because no major personal problems were found in them.

For him, the most difficult group to deal with were those who were truly dedicated to the factory. These people were working for an agricultural machinery factory, not their hand-held tractor factory.

When the merger actually begins, those who take the lead are indeed the most troublesome, especially since they have some old connections from the past.

If it's used for personal matters, it might not be particularly useful.

However, when it comes to handling such matters, some nostalgic leaders might actually feel indignant on behalf of the agricultural machinery factory.

At this point, Su Wenchen understood why the agricultural machinery factory dared to do such a thing.

To put it bluntly, he still felt that he had some powerful backer who could protect him!
This time, however, they've directly kicked a hornet's nest in Su Wenchen's group.

Otherwise, if it were really a small farm, things might not have gotten this far, judging from the information Li Xingguo had revealed earlier.

The agricultural machinery factory and Huxi Farm are also at odds, and their issues are even bigger than theirs. Su Wenchen thinks that Huxi Farm has probably suffered a great loss.

Otherwise, I wouldn't hate them so much.

Even so, Huxi Farm still can't do anything about them.

Li Xingguo looked at Su Wenchen, who remained silent.

He also knew that if he didn't offer any benefits, it was unlikely that others would help him.

Moreover, apart from Bluewater Farm, he couldn't find a more suitable place to settle these people.

First of all, Blue Water Farm is not under pressure from the province, so there is no need to worry that they will send people over after receiving them.

In addition, although the agricultural machinery factory and Blue Water Farm have some grudges, it's not to the point of being a life-or-death struggle.

This way, he could give the province an explanation. Although the person wasn't left at their factory, they weren't sent to Huxi Farm either.

Besides, it's perfectly reasonable for someone who made a mistake to work on someone else's farm as compensation!
Taking a deep breath, Li Xingguo spoke directly.

"Director Su, how about this? Our factory really can't allocate any more tractors to you."

"After all, we also have to consider the feelings of other units."

“So some communes with average conditions swapped tractors with us and brought over twenty pigs. Although they weren’t very fat, each one weighed only about 160 or 170 pounds.”

"But in our area, she's considered quite good-looking!"

"I'll give you half of the farm, as a way of apologizing to the agricultural machinery factory."

"what do you think?"

Su Wenchen hadn't expected that the other party would actually go to such lengths to send a few people away.

They actually gave us ten live pigs at once!

Although it only weighs about 150 or 160 pounds, which is considered a half-grown pig in their main farm, it is already considered quite good here.

There are large areas of floodplains in this area, so the total grain yield is definitely low, and naturally there won't be any surplus feed to give to pigs.

However, he really wanted ten pigs, especially since the branch farm was facing a severe shortage of meat.

Although distributing ten pigs wouldn't make much difference, giving the employees a big meal before spring plowing does boost morale.

From this perspective, it seems that supporting a few more people isn't a big problem.

Thinking about it this way, Su Wenchen suddenly realized that he had initially disliked these people who were to be sent for reformation as much as he had initially thought.

At least give others a chance to reform themselves through labor!
Seeing that Su Wenchen hadn't spoken yet, Li Xingguo could only grit his teeth and say.

"Director Su, fifteen heads is the most we can get. Our factory hasn't tasted any meat since the New Year."

"I have to leave some for our factory too!"

Su Wenchen blinked; there was an unexpected bonus here!

However, he knew he couldn't push his luck, so he spoke directly.

"Director Xingguo, look at what you're saying. Receiving people for labor reform is originally our farm's task."

"Don't worry, we'd be happy to do this!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xingguo inwardly rolled his eyes.

He thought to himself, "I just told you directly, but you didn't agree immediately."

However, seeing Su Wenchen say this, he was relieved, otherwise he would have been having a headache about how to arrange these people.

If they make a bad arrangement, they'll offend people in the province; if they put them in the factory, it'll likely cause them trouble, and the kind of trouble that will keep coming back.

It's a good thing that they're getting rid of people by spending a few pigs now, considering the benefits their factory has gained after the merger are far greater than what a few pigs can provide!
So he echoed Su Wenchen's words.

“That won’t do. Since we’ve merged the agricultural machinery factory, we have to take responsibility for their mistakes.”

"We've wasted so much of your time, you should compensate us!"

Li Xingguo clearly understood that the only way to resolve the pig issue was to apologize to the agricultural machinery factory.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the factory.

Now that the responsibility has been placed under the agricultural machinery factory, it will be much easier for him to explain things to the factory. Even if he has any complaints, he can directly transfer them to the agricultural machinery factory.

In this way, the factory workers would think that this was a condition for the merger, and therefore they wouldn't have any major objections.

Su Wenchen immediately appeared reluctant.

"In that case, we'll reluctantly accept it!"

"But you can't do that again! Just say what you want to say directly. We're all from the same company, helping each other out is only right!"

With everything settled, Su Wenchen hadn't expected that taking in just a few people would come with a dozen fat pigs.

I wish this kind of good thing could happen more often.

If everyone came with several pigs, he would definitely not mind the trouble.
