Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

"Thank you for your support and understanding, Director Li."

"You're welcome."

The two quickly exchanged opinions on the matter of the braised meat shop, and the neighborhood committee would do its best to meet any request He Yuzhu made.

After all, Director Li wasn't a fool; he had a clear understanding of He Yuzhu's abilities.

It was just a few threats from Qing Laosan to his family that brought him to his knees.

The incident involved several people from the Qianmen Police Station, who were all imprisoned.

After the two finished discussing the matter, He Yuzhu wanted to get up and say goodbye.

"Wait a moment, He Yuzhu, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"What is it? Just tell me."

Director Li said, "Are you still the factory director of the machinery plant?"

"That won't be the case for long," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"As you know, there aren't many large businesses around Qianmen; it's mostly small workshops."

He Yuzhu instantly understood: the First Five-Year Plan had been implemented for several years, but all of them were top-down enterprises.

They are all large state-owned factories, and the ownership belongs to ministries. There are not many municipal units.

The collective enterprises in Qianmen Street were all small workshops; there weren't even any medium-sized factories.

Many things can only be accomplished with someone taking the lead. Without a qualified mentor, setting up a factory is extremely difficult.

Previously, He Yuzhu worked in a machinery factory. Although Director Li was envious, He Yuzhu would definitely not agree to poach him.

So he hadn't thought about making any changes, but things are different now. He Yuzhu has fallen out with the leaders of the street office.

Director Li then had his own ideas.

"Yuzhu, I'd like to discuss something with you. How about we buy some machine tools from your factory and you become the factory manager?"

After saying that, she looked at He Yuzhu with hope, hoping that he would agree.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Director Li, I haven't considered this matter yet, but..."

Director Li was somewhat disappointed, then asked anxiously, "But what?"

"However, if it's about buying machine tools, I do have a way to sell some to Qianmen Street."

"But we don't have you to manage us, and we don't have the relevant personnel either."

What Qianmen Street has always lacked is talent. Without talent, even if there are lathes, they can only sit there and rust.

He Yuzhu said, "Don't worry, since I said that, I have a solution. I can solve both the workers' and the leaders' problems for you."

"Oh, that's great. We've considered it before and made plans to buy 100 lathes and set up a Qianmen Machinery Factory with all our might."

He Yuzhu planned to work at the Beijing Vehicle Factory, which mainly produced Jeeps. However, the vehicle had many parts, and it was impossible for his factory to produce them all.

Some general-purpose, low-cost products with little technical content can be outsourced to other units for production assistance.

Since Qianmen Subdistrict is planning to establish its own machinery factory, it would be easy to get some inexpensive products out there for them to produce, and send some technicians to provide guidance, thus making the Qianmen Machinery Factory a success.

“Since you have the guts, I’ll find you a big client to guarantee you enough production orders.”

"That's great! We should hurry and buy the lathe."

Director Li also knew that He Yuzhu's days at the machinery factory were numbered and that he could leave at any time.

I'm afraid things might get complicated if I wait too long, so I need to get the lathe out and into my hands first.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the paperwork and get the machine out tomorrow."

"Thank you, He Yuzhu. Don't worry, Qianmen Street will always be your support."

He Yuzhu returned home and then called Director Hou, who was in charge of logistics.

"Old Hou, could you get 100 lathes of every model from the factory's warehouse?"

He went forward and read out the specific models and quantities.

"Wait two minutes, I'll make a call to verify."

Director Hou made a phone call, then called the factory to speak to his trusted confidant.

After receiving accurate information, call He Yuzhu.

"Director He, we have all of these lathes."

He Yuzhu said, "Then let's do this: let's pull the lathe out tonight, so they don't have time to react, and then I'll do the paperwork tomorrow morning."

"Okay, no problem, I'll have someone prepare it right away."

After both sides completed their preparations, He Yuzhu then called Zhang Guangming, the head of the security department.

He was one of He Yuzhu's men, so of course he had to cooperate fully.

Now that Geng Feiyan is in charge of the machinery factory, if He Yuzhu were to directly request 100 lathes, the other party would definitely obstruct him.

After all, those lathes all had a destination. The original plan was to send a batch of lathes to the port of Tianjin and then ship them south by water.

The only issue is that we need to coordinate the shipping capacity of the vessels, so they are currently stored in the warehouse and have not yet been shipped.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be hundreds of lathes gathering dust in the warehouse.

Previously, some of the products produced were immediately shipped away. Getting them back into production as soon as possible is the most urgent thing right now.

He Yuzhu knew about this, but he still called Director Hou to confirm and immediately decided to take action that night to move all the lathes out.

Once it's taken out of the machinery factory, it'll be in the pocket of Qianmen Street. Even if the two sides go to court later, He Yuzhu won't be afraid.

That's a matter between the two neighborhoods. As the deputy factory director, He Yuzhu has the right to conduct the sales.

After all, he had only asked for leave and had not been fired yet.

He Yuzhu made an agreement with Director Li, and then both sides began preparations.

Soon it was evening, and with the workers gone, only the security team under the security department was still patrolling the noisy factory.

Zhang Guangming stood guard at the gate. After a while, he suddenly saw a string of lights in the distance.

Then the faint sound of a car could be heard.

Soon, a jeep followed by five trucks drove up.

Zhang Guangming immediately saw that He Yuzhu was the one getting off the car and immediately arranged for someone to open the gate.

When He Yuzhu walked up to him, he immediately stood at attention and said, "Director He has made all the arrangements, so we can proceed with the transportation."

"Thanks a lot."

“No hard work, just serve the people.”

We arrived at the warehouse with our vehicle. Inside, things were bustling with activity as we loaded the machine tools onto the factory's own truck.

There were some tricycles waiting behind.

After all, Director Li only managed to get 5 trucks, and each truck could only carry 2 to 3 lathes, so it would take 10 batches to complete the transportation.

The machine factory itself could produce tricycles, and it also mounted engines on truck chassis, producing some trucks that did not meet specifications.

The machine factory only used it to transport goods, and because the horsepower was too small, it was no longer produced.

Vehicle transportation falls under the jurisdiction of the security department, and all of these transportation services have been arranged for them.

Director Hou came over to report on the work situation, and then He Yuzhu personally took charge to supervise the hoisting and transportation of the lathe.

Although there were quite a few more vehicles, they were still divided into four batches and were being loaded onto the trucks. Zhang Guangming ran over and said:

"Factory manager, I just received a phone call."

"Oh, whose is it?"

Zhang Guangming hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's Secretary Geng."

"As expected, there are still bad people among the crowd."

He Yuzhu remarked with emotion that there were over a hundred workers in the factory security team, the truck crew, and the logistics department responsible for hoisting.

It's not that everyone's heart is with He Yuzhu; it's also possible that someone might secretly make a phone call to Secretary Geng.

He Yuzhu asked, "She already knows?"

Zhang Guangming nodded: "Secretary Geng was very angry and said he would come over immediately."

"Never mind her, let her come if she wants. Anyway, the lathe will be assembled soon."

He Yuzhu wasn't worried at all. They had already started loading the last batch of goods, which meant that 75 lathes had already been taken away.

Currently, over a hundred people at the machinery factory are under the command of He Yuzhu and Zhang Guangming.

They simply did not believe that Geng Feiyan could organize hundreds of people to come and stop them at this time.

If three or five people came, He Yuzhu would completely ignore her.

Geng Feiyan and Jiang Hanyang were extremely anxious and quickly arrived at the gate of the machinery factory by car.

The factory was brightly lit, but the gates were locked.

Geng Feiyan shouted at the door, "Open the door!"
