Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 854 Goodbye Old Man
We were talking and laughing, and when we walked into the workshop, we happened to see Zhang Hua's second brother, wearing a company uniform, listening to a teacher explaining something seriously.
When I walked up to him, he didn't notice me at all, but the old master saw me and was a little embarrassed to speak, so I smiled and said, "Master Huang, go ahead, I'll learn too!"

Master Huang said in a panic: "Don't dare! How dare I talk about maintenance equipment in front of you? The equipment here was installed when you were here! This imported equipment is the first in our factory. When the foreigners came, I also listened to it. You were the interpreter throughout the whole process, so we knew what he was talking about. At that time, when you first came, we were very strange. He became the manager in a short time, and everyone in the factory had to listen to him. Why did he think you came here because of connections. But after the installation, we were convinced.

Moreover, I discovered that you can not only read the drawings, but also draw them. There is nothing you don’t know about the accessories on the equipment from large to small. You can't even ask for food in front of you! "

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "What are you talking about? It's the first time in my life that someone praises me, and I will blush! How can I be as good as you say? I was also learning at that time , when I was in college, I learned some professional knowledge, understood a little fur, knew a little English, and was able to communicate with foreigners! It’s still you, the masters, who helped me a lot!”

Master Huang waved his hands and said: "You are too modest. We all know that people who are really capable not only understand themselves, but also know how to teach others. They teach us without reservation. Later, we continued We have heard many stories about you, until one day we saw on TV that you were sitting on the rostrum, in the middle of the general meeting of shareholders of the group company, and we knew your identity! We are so proud, we are Just mention it to everyone, the chairman of our group, the biggest one, used to install equipment with us, eat lunch together, and even drank wine with us!"

I have never been praised like this before, even if I have, it is just a scene, this kind of praise makes my heart warm, I said with a smile: "Master Huang, please don't put gold on my face anymore .Let's stop being polite, what are you talking about?"

The second elder brother, who had been standing aside, looked at me in surprise. He obviously didn't know who I was. After listening to Master Huang's words, he was speechless.

Master Huang said with a smile: "Oh, this equipment keeps shutting off automatically, Zhang Feng, just transferred to our equipment department, I don't know how to fix it, so come and ask me, I'll explain it to him!"

I smiled with relief and asked my second brother, "Second brother, what do you think caused the power outage?"

Master Huang was also taken aback when he heard me calling him second brother, but only for a moment.

Zhang Feng then calmed down and said: "I don't dare to make a conclusion. I have checked the main power supply line and there is no problem. Then the problem must be in the control circuit. I also checked it. The transformer The output end is always powered on. I observed it for several hours and found no problems, and the power was not cut off. But I just walked away for 10 minutes, and the whole device was powered off again! I can’t fix it either Do you know what the problem is?"

I asked curiously: "Second brother, have you ever studied electrician? Can you understand the wiring diagram of the equipment?"

Zhang Feng nodded and replied: "I graduated from a technical secondary school, and I majored in electrical engineering. I can still understand some basic drawings!"

Master Huang answered: "Zhang Feng is studious and clever. We all like him. Besides, he has read more books than us, but he is a little less experienced! This problem..."

I stopped Master Huang from decrypting, and continued to ask Zhang Fengdao: "Since the main line is fine, should we think about the problem of the control line? The current here has not been very stable, and the voltage will weaken when it reaches the peak. Think again!"

Zhang Feng analyzed: "That is to say, the voltage is still there, but the voltage is reduced. Once the voltage is reduced, but there is electricity again, ah, the voltage of the control line is very low and very sensitive. It is the problem of the inverter. If the voltage is less than 12 volts, it will automatically cut off the power! I understand, but how can I solve this problem?"

I hummed and said: "The problem has been analyzed, and we must find a way to solve it! Have you read the user manual of the inverter?"

Zhang Feng shook his head and said: "I haven't read it, I can't understand English!"

I asked Master Huang: "Where is our user manual? I remember I translated it at that time?"

Master Huang explained: "It's all at Mr. Yang's place. He is very strict with these drawings and user manuals. He said that only one copy has been translated. Once it is gone, we will not be able to repair the equipment in the future. We will not be able to read it." I understand, so I seldom come to see him!"

I frowned and said: "No, just translate! Or just make a few more copies! After the blueprint is translated, it is for everyone to see. The more people who understand it, the more conducive it is to carry out the work! Then It’s not a valuable copywriting, everyone has to know it, so it’s much more convenient to repair the equipment, and it doesn’t have to be so hard, you have to find Mr. Yang for everything!”

Seeing that Master Huang didn't speak, I probably know what's going on!Yang Gong's narrow-mindedness is nothing more than fear of teaching apprentices and starving the master to death.

I ordered people to call Mr. Yang to come to the scene, and then continued to talk to Zhang Feng: "Although this is an imported device, the frequency converters are all similar. If you can adjust the frequency converter, you will know that there is a setting in the frequency converter. It is possible to adjust the minimum voltage to cut off the power, you can adjust it to the minimum voltage of the power supply, it will not work!"

Zhang Feng and Master Huang looked at me with admiration at the same time.

I said again: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the drawings, you can always understand the icons on it, right? Even if the icons in foreign countries are different from those in our country, you can still look up the electrician's dictionary! Then follow the icons and lines to look up. ! I didn’t understand these things at first, but after a long time, I understood them after watching them!”

Master Huang and Zhang Feng nodded again.

Mr. Yang rushed over to me in a hurry and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you need from me?"

I hummed and said, "In the future, the drawings and user manuals of these devices will be shown to everyone, not only to show them to everyone, but also to train them. You are the manager, so don't do everything yourself. These things should not be handled by you! Don’t be reluctant to give up your own technology, but should keep teaching new people. Don’t you know the company’s rules?”

Yang Gong explained: "I don't want to hide any technology, but this information is very precious. If they lose it, I don't know how to deal with the company?"

I sighed and said, "Drawings are dead, but people are alive? People have learned technology, so why do they need drawings? When will people know technology, it will be more important than data!"

Yang Gong said embarrassingly: "I also want to protect the blueprint, there is no other meaning!"

I eased the atmosphere and said, "I didn't say you had other intentions! It's just that with your current skills, you can learn a few more apprentices and enjoy the light blessings yourself, wouldn't you?"

Gong Yang hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay! I think Zhang Feng is a pretty good guy!"

I smiled playfully and didn't speak again.

I believe that with Zhang Aiguo's temperament, he will soon tell the whole company that Zhang Feng was transferred in by me. I don't mind if they intend to promote him. If he is given the opportunity, it will depend on his own efforts in the future.

In the evening, we eat together with the workers in the large cafeteria. For the workers who work 24 hours a day and work the night shift, the meal at night is actually breakfast. Many sleepy workers sit at the dining table to eat.

When I was ordering vegetables, I looked at the pots of bright red vegetables, frowned and asked Zhang Aiguo, "Are all Hunan locals in our factory now? If people from the headquarters come, how can they eat?"

Zhang Aiguo smiled and said: "You forgot that when we first came here, you can't eat a little bit of spicy food. What happened later, you can eat without chili peppers!"

I hummed, nodded, ordered some food, and sat next to Xiao Wan and asked, "How many days do you plan to stay in Hunan? I might go to Zhuhai tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

Xiao Wan took a bite of the dish, then grinned and didn't answer my question: "Didn't you think it was so spicy before?"

I smiled and said, "It's been a long time since you have eaten Hunan food, you must find it spicy!"

Xiao Wan took a sip of the soup and said, "Yeah, it's been a year, right? I came here at this time last time, and I plan to go around. After that, don't I have to go to Belgium?"

I said in surprise, "You agree?"

Xiao Wan hummed and said, "Such a good opportunity, I definitely have to go out for a walk, after I come back, I have to reserve the seat for me? You don't mean to transfer me away, and then..."

I cut it and said: "No, then, you can't leave even if you want to. After learning the skills, just leave. You have a good idea. By the way, after you go back to the headquarters, remember to sign a contract of sale for me! "

Xiao Wan snorted and said, "I know, you won't let me go so easily!"

I turned my head and said to Zhang Aiguo: "Mr. Zhang, that Mr. Yang, you have to pay attention. Those who do technology must not have selfish motives!"

Zhang Aiguo was stunned for a moment and said, "No way? Mr. Yang is the veteran of our factory!"

I snorted and said: "People will change, you must not let him monopolize all the technology! Find him a successor, you have to ask for it, and you have to have it if you don't! Look at him and let him master all the technology. Hand it over!"

Zhang Aiguo thought he understood, and said with a smile: "I understand! I understand!"

I rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you understand? Zhang Feng, I called him the second brother because... Hey, I'm too lazy to explain to you. In short, you can just treat him as a normal skilled worker. Of course, if If you have a chance, you can give it to him, so why not give it to him!"

It’s okay if you don’t talk about it, but when you talk about it, Zhang Aiguo is even more self-righteous: "Understood, I understand! I know what to do?"

I groaned, and smiled at Xiaowan.

In the evening, after dinner, Zhang Aiguo suggested that we go to sing to find out how we felt back then. Although I didn't feel bad for Zhang Aiguo, I didn't want to have a close friendship, so I refused.Went out for a walk with Xiaowan, and came here without knowing it. The house I rented for Ximao, and saw that there were lights on inside, I asked Xiaowan in surprise: "Xiaomao is back?"

Xiao Wan shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe you haven't come back?"

I hesitated for a while, should I go up and have a look, and what should I say when I see it?Are the rumors you heard before true?If it is true, how should I face it?

Xiaowan saw my hesitation, pulled me and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Just go up and have a look! Are you scared?"

I said angrily: "What do I have to be afraid of? I haven't done anything wrong!"

Xiao Wan snorted coldly and said, "Really not?"

I ignored her, walked up by myself, and knocked on the door. After a while, a middle-aged woman opened the door, but I didn't recognize her.

I asked politely, "Excuse me, does Xmao live here?"

As soon as the woman spoke Hunan dialect, I was confused. I wanted to go into the room to see if it was any different from the decoration I had back then, but the woman seemed to see my thoughts and closed the door all at once. up.Xiao Wan, who was standing behind me, said: "Don't look, I know this family, and they are also employees of our Hunan branch. They must have rented it again!"

I oh, and walked up the stairs a little disappointed.

A taxi just stopped at the door, and a little boy got off, and then I saw a young woman who paid the driver and led the little boy to go upstairs. The moment we raised our heads, we looked at each other. shocked.

It's just fine hair, his face hasn't changed much, his hair has been permed into big waves, he's wearing an off-white woolen coat, and he's carrying a shoulder bag with a big logo on his back. The little boy has delicate features and a small schoolbag on his back. He's wearing a very western style school uniform.

The dress of the mother and son is completely different from the dress of this small place. They look like overseas Chinese who have returned from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

I was so excited that I didn't know what to say, Xiao Wan behind me was very pleasantly surprised: "Xiao Mao, we have come to see you, we haven't seen you for many years, how come you haven't aged at all, you are still so beautiful ?”

Xi Mao reacted and said with a smile: "Xiao Wan, you are the same, you are still so pretty!" Then, he turned to me naturally and said, "Hello, Ah Fei!"

I hummed and said, "It's good, it's good! I just passed by here, so I came up to see, are you there? When did you come back?"

The child tugged on the sleeve of the fine fur, and said pitifully, "Mom, it's cold!"

Ximao hurriedly said: "Let's go up and sit down!" After speaking, he picked up the little boy and went up the stairs.

I followed behind somewhat nervously, and Xiao Wan whispered, "Do you think this little boy looks a bit like someone?"
