Chapter 50: The Factory Director (15)

  "I know the city's finances are not prosperous, we're all our own people, I won't open my mouth as wide as Ri himself, patent authorization fee 1 million, no need for US dollars, our own RMB, patent usage fee is 3% of each car's selling price."

  After listening to Lin Hongfei's words, Director Wu let out a sigh of relief: this kid's "opening price" was indeed very generous.

  Lin Hongfei's intention is that Director Wu has understood, Lin Hongfei is using this method to increase the weight of his own patent, which is also the meaning that should be in the question. As the saying goes, good goods are not cheap, and cheap goods are not good. Although everyone is thinking about buying high-quality and affordable things every day, if a thing looks good but the price is very cheap, many people will doubt it: Is this thing a fake or inferior product?

  Lin Hongfei's request was not high, but Wu Director could only smile wryly, "Hongfei, we're all on the same side, I won't hide it from you, this 500,000 is still squeezed out by the municipal finance with gritted teeth. I know the price is very low, but the city can only come up with that much money."

  Lin Hongfei furrowed his brow. This situation was not within Lin Hongfei's expectations. The city was so short of money that they couldn't even come up with 10 million?

  Fortunately, Director Wu had obtained the authorization of Dongfang Book & Record beforehand and took it out now. "However, I can promise you on behalf of the city that the 3% patent use fee for each vehicle, please trust the government, we will absolutely not let our own people suffer losses."

  Director Wu's words can be said to be extremely sincere, and this is equivalent to making a promise to Lin Hongfei: We know that the money for buying your patent is not much, but you also know that the current municipal finance situation is not good, it is impossible to take out too much money to give you, however, rest assured, we will not let you lose out, and will definitely compensate you in other ways.

  What is elsewhere? This scope is very broad, such as Lin Hongfei's mother Duan Yuzhen, Lin Hongfei himself and so on. As long as Lin Hongfei agrees to this condition, the municipal government can "consider it".

  Lin Hongfei naturally knew that the 500,000 yuan patent authorization fee was indeed a low and pitiful amount. If Beiguan City wanted to spend 500,000 yuan to introduce a 250cc engine from an overseas motorcycle company, the other party would be furious: "500,000? Are you kidding me?" Even birds wouldn't bother with you. But during this special period of national conditions, one had to consider these special circumstances and be flexible and adaptable.

  "Alright," Lin Hongfei finally agreed. For the currently penniless and white-haired Lin Hongfei, a sum of 500,000 in cash plus a 3% commission on the sale of vehicles was already very satisfying. However, thinking that for every car sold, 3% would be his own, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but worry about another issue, "Now, at the motorcycle manufacturing factory, can we still find a suitable person to take charge of daily work?"

  The matter of the renovation funds, since Director Wu has already indicated no problem, Lin Hongfei didn't say more, but regarding production issues, Lin Hongfei had to ask about it, as this relates to the thickness of his own wallet. In these times, money isn't omnipotent, but having no money is something I absolutely cannot do.

  Director Wu smiled with great satisfaction, "Don't look at Lin Hongfei, you little smart guy, but in this matter, you are still far behind. You will eventually fall into my trap!" "Regarding this, the municipal authorities have given careful consideration. The municipal party committee and government leaders have carefully considered it and unanimously believe that the work of the Municipal Motorcycle Factory should be highly valued. In view of the difficulties currently faced by the Municipal Motorcycle Factory, the leaders decided to appoint Vice Mayor Cheng as the temporary factory director and party secretary."

  Lin Hongfei was taken aback.

  Cheng, the vice mayor, is a relatively low-ranking deputy mayor on the municipal government side, in charge of health, sports, radio and television, etc. Due to his limited power, Vice Mayor Cheng has always been low-key, but after all, the Municipal Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory is only a department-level enterprise unit affiliated with the municipal government, and the administrative level of its head is only a deputy department level. Vice Mayor Cheng is a high-ranking leader at the deputy department level, and as a high-ranking leader with real power at the deputy department level to take charge of a state-owned enterprise, it can indeed reflect the high attention paid by the Beiguan Municipal Party Committee and Government to the future work of the Municipal Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory. It also plays a crucial role in stabilizing the morale of the employees of the Municipal Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.

  But the most important thing is that this Vice Mayor Cheng, although not very powerful in the city government, is actually a person from Dongfang Shu's side. This time, Vice Mayor Cheng has been appointed as the director and party secretary of the City Motorcycle Factory, which must be Dongfang Shu's intention. From this, we can also understand that Dongfang Shu is extremely angry about what happened at the City Motorcycle Factory before, and is using this way to warn those who dare to have ideas about the factory. I'm very angry now, extremely angry! Whoever dares to have ideas about the City Motorcycle Factory again, don't blame me for not giving him face!

  The anger of Dongfang Shu & Ji can also be understood. The municipal motorcycle factory has become a mess, and when the people from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission ask about it, they want to shift the blame to Dongfang Shu & Ji and Xu Shi & Zhang's backsides, letting these two big shots take the fall for those messy people below? Dongfang Shu & Ji and Xu Shi & Zhang's "awareness" is not that high yet.

  "What a great momentum in the city!" Lin Hongfei also sincerely admired Dongfang Shu's move, and genuinely praised, "With the city's determination, I believe that Shimoto Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant will turn around its current difficulties, it's just a matter of time."

  "Yes, Director Wu nodded repeatedly, his face unconsciously showing respect for Dongfang Shuji. "However, you also know that Deputy Mayor Cheng's daily work is very busy. Although he is the director of the motorcycle factory, it's just a nominal position. Unless it's a major event, the actual daily work still needs to be taken care of by other comrades."

  Lin Hongfei nodded immediately, this is natural. Although Vice Mayor Cheng is relatively "idle" in the city, it's only relative. The things in his hands are also complicated and busy every day. Isn't the work at hand related to the livelihood of nearly 10 million people in Beiguan City? A small motorcycle factory is indeed not suitable for taking up too much of Vice Mayor Cheng's time and energy.

  What left Lin Hongfei stunned was that Director Wu's next topic took a sudden turn.
