Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 483 Hanyao's First Chief Engineer
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, it's definitely cheaper than a foreigner's ship, but..." Chu Keqiu also immediately accepted the order. The price of two ocean liners is not cheap.

"Just say anything, Mr. Zhang is one of our own." Zhu Chuanwen also said with a smile. At this time, he and Chu Keqiu had the same idea in his mind. Ocean liners are really not cheap. It seems that this old man also made a Decided.

"However, Mr. Zhang, your order has to wait..."

"Oh?" Zhang Bishi was a little puzzled, since he could do it, why did he procrastinate?

"This is Mr. Zhang. At present, Hanyao's port in Bingcheng is mainly based on river boats, and we train our own quantity of workers. We manufacture ocean liners here. It will take a lot of effort to transport them out. First, we have to go along the Songjiang River. To the Amur River, and finally enter the Arctic Ocean from the mouth of Russia. How about you wait, our Hanyao Port at the mouth of the Tumen River is under construction, and it will be our main shipbuilding base in the future.”

They were still building the dock, Zhang Fattze's slack face did not change, but at this moment his heart was already overjoyed.

"Can wait!" Zhang Bishi stood up as he said that, he was old and smart, he had sensed that something was wrong just now, and since he had given out the favor of real gold and silver, then he should leave at this time up.

Zhu Chuanwen personally sent Zhang Bishi out of the gate of Hanyao Dock in the ice city.

The original bright smile was withdrawn at once, and with a cold face, he walked towards Chen Yuanxi's office.

Chu Keqiu poked the old man beside him, but the old man looked indifferent, just followed...

Chen Xiyuan's office

As soon as Zhu Chuanwen entered, he sat directly on the old man's nearest chair.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Chuanwen slammed the gold-plated wooden sign with "Chief Engineer" written on it.

Chu Keqiu shrank his head like a quail, but Chen Xiyuan stood upright.

silence……

This kind of silence stared at by the Prime Minister is audible.

Chu Keqiu really couldn't stand this kind of environment, "Chairman, Old Chen, he just couldn't be more angry. Seeing that the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has improved a bit, Chen Qimei paid off most of the money to Hanyao..."

"If you can't be angry, if you can't be angry, you can show off in front of Hanyao's closest partner in the future. If you want me to say, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has become the current situation. Chen Xiyuan, are you not responsible?" Zhu Chuanwen's face, As if covered with frost.

"I have no responsibility, Prime Minister. I, Chen Xiyuan, thank you for taking in me and my brothers. However, Jiangnan Shipyard is so dilapidated that I have learned shipbuilding. What responsibility can I have?"

"What responsibility?" Zhu Chuanwen stood up immediately when he heard it: "Back then, Li Hongzhang bought the Meishang Qiji Iron Works in Hongkou, Shanghai, and based on this, he established the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Manufacturing Bureau, Manufacturing Bureau, just to manufacture machines. , Manufacturing weapons, manufacturing ships, tell me, this Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has a history of more than 50 years, what exactly has it manufactured?"

"We built the first 1868-ton iron ship Tian Ji in 600."

"Oh, even if I'm an outsider, I also know that steam boilers, machinery, and hulls are the bulk of the ship. Your steam boilers and hulls were made by Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but the machinery is a piece of cake. It’s a pile of second-hand goods from foreigners, isn’t it?”

Chen Xiyuan looked at Zhu Chuanwen, unable to say a word for a long time. These are all confidential information of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. After the first iron ship was built, the whole country was excited, and Zeng Guofan was the platform of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. According to later generations In other words, the managers of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau of the generation of flowers, applause, money, and beautiful women enjoyed them all.

"Say it, why don't you say it?" Zhu Chuanwen looked at Chen Xiyuan, who was speechless. Chen Qimei mortgaged to Hanyao not only half of the craftsmen in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but also a large number of documents. Among them, Zeng Guofan inspected Jiangnan in 1867 At the time of the Manufacturing Bureau, half of the foundation of a technical school called Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was moved to Ice City. Currently, Hanyao University is preparing for the opening of the Mechanical Manufacturing Department.

"We also made a lot of guns." Chen Xiyuan poked his neck, but his tone became low.

"Yuannian-style rifle?" Zhu Chuanwen sneered, "If your Yuannian-style rifles are good and cheap, Chen Qimei will send you to Bingcheng? Chen Xiyuan, let me tell you, if you want to do it, you can do it at Hanyao Dockyard , Irrelevant, just get the hell out of Hanyao, I have no shortage of stubborn people like you in Hanyao." Zhu Chuanwen slapped all the signs on the table again.

The old man Chen Xiyuan couldn't hold back his face, he turned his head and was about to walk out of the door, but Chu Keqiu blocked the door first, and turned to Zhu Chuanwen from a distance: "President, no, no, old Chen is also doing his best." Do your best, do your best, without him, it would be impossible for our Hanyao Shipyard to directly handle cargo ships of [-] tons and above? There are also submarines, take a look at the design drawing on the table, this is what Lao Chen just designed according to your intention from……"

"Old Chen, you are also submissive. It's not like you don't know who came here just now, why did you make a pout all of a sudden?" Chu Keqiu put his hands against the door, and said nice things to Chen Xiyuan again.

"Director Chu, that Mr. Zhang, he said bad things about the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau..." Chen Xiyuan couldn't get out of it, and sat down on the sofa in the office, sulking.

"Shouldn't you say it?" Zhu Chuanwen glanced at the design drawing of the semi-submersible submarine, and pointed at Chen Xiyuan's nose, "How many years has it been since your Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was restructured, maybe 7 years ago, has your level improved? Do you know? Who came up with the idea of ​​restructuring the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau?"

"Xu Shichang, Mr. Xu!" Chen Xiyuan's tone was aggressive.

"It's me!" Zhu Chuanwen said firmly, and Chen Xiyuan's eyes widened all of a sudden.

"When Xu Shichang was appointed as Minister of Posts and Communications, you were the ones who moved Shanghai. Your Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was really miserable. Just because people eat horse chews every year, it costs 140 million silver dollars a year. You can't even make farts. I’ve given you the list of year-style rifles. Listen, the chamber was blown. Let the new army of the Qing Dynasty hear about the first-year style of your Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Talking about guns has changed. Chen Xiyuan, even if you concentrate on shipbuilding, you should also hear it. It's windy.

Beginning in 1907, under the rectification of Xu Shichang and Liangjiang Governor Zhou Fu, your Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau implemented the "separation of bureaus and docks".Separate the shipbuilding yard from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and become an independent enterprise. This is my suggestion from Te Niang, for the betterment of your Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

At that time, look at the things you did. An old factory in the Zeng Guofan era has been living more and more. Do you know what Japan's Mitsubishi and other companies did last year? "

Chen Xiyuan didn't say anything, but looked at Zhu Chuanwen with piercing eyes, as if wanting to know.

"Hmph, they dismissed all the technical backbones headed by the British and Americans from the shipyards in Japan, and replaced them with Japanese. Tell me, what did you do at Jiangnan Shipyard?"

Chen Xiyuan smacked his lips, feeling extremely bitter, yes, what did they do with the Jiangnan Shipyard that was separated from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Zhou Fu, the governor of Liangjiang, suggested: "The foreigner Bass has been in Beiyang for a long time, and he is in charge of the engine. , can be appointed as the chief inspector of the shipyard." Later, Mao Gen, a Scotsman, was appointed as the chief engineer of the Jiangnan shipyard.

Before that, Chen Xiyuan, a veteran student studying in the UK, was also one of the main competitors for the chief engineer of the restructured Jiangnan Shipyard.After Mao Gen presided over the work of Jiangnan Shipyard, he moved the management system of Yingshang Shipyard to Jiangnan Shipyard, brought a group of engineers and technicians and supervisors from Yingshang Shipyard, and dismissed more than 400 former employees of Jiangnan Shipyard.

Under Mao Geng’s rule, the Jiangnan Plant’s “engineering personnel in various departments, such as the shipbuilding department, machine building department, design department, turbine yard, and cold workshop, etc., were mostly British.”

"Quante's mother is a foreigner, you Chen Xiyuan is still beautiful, Zhang Bishi is not allowed to talk about your Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, shit! Let me ask you, have you seen many old faces in Bingcheng again?"

Indeed, the reason why Chen Xiyuan was pointed and scolded by Zhu Chuanwen was because he was grateful from the bottom of his heart.When the British laid off staff back then, he didn't make any effort. Those craftsmen who followed the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau for many years and were later assigned to the Jiangnan Dockyard came to Bingcheng again, became Chu Keqiu's banner, and took the lead for Hanyao. The first artisans to research, manufacture, and experiment with ship technology.

"Let me tell you, Chen Xiyuan, I, Hanyao, are not your original Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. The core technology is not in the hands of foreigners. All of them are controlled by research institutes. Foreigners, I also have here, but it is just an ordinary technical position. Holding the same money as Han Yao and other craftsmen. Have you seen such a thing in Jiangnan Shipyard?
So, I’m going to put my words here today, your mother’s Chen Xiyuan has braids, I accept it, but the braids in your heart, either cut off, or leave the ice city for me!I've finished my words, I still have things to do, think about it for me! After Zhu Chuanwen finished speaking, he took out a box of Laobaduo cigarettes in his pocket, slapped it on the table, and angrily slammed the door out.

In the room, only Chu Keqiu and Chen Xiyuan were left.

Another moment of silence...

"Sting!" The red match head rubbed against the sand skin~
Only then did Chen Xiyuan regain his composure, and stared at Chu Keqiu in a daze.

"Come on?" Chu Keqiu threw out a cigarette, and Chen Xiyuan caught it in a hurry, and also took out a match from his pocket to light it.

After a while, he finally spoke: "Director Chu, is what the President just said is true?"

"You mean the "office division" of your Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau?"

"kindness!"

"This is indeed the telegram sent by the Prime Minister to Xu Shichang back then. We have actually studied it, and there is a whole set of reform plans, but then I don't know what happened, and it turned out to be like you in the Jiangnan Dock. Regarding this matter, the general manager The director also scolded Zhou Fu bitterly, saying that the old thief Zhou Yushan was short-sighted, and he followed Li Hongzhang in doing foreign affairs for more than 30 years. He only learned the shape, but did not see the true meaning. It is a pity that Jiangnan created a bureau."

Now that Chen Xiyuan listens to these names, he has lost so much respect. In Bingcheng, there is Hanyao University Hall. It can be said that Bingcheng people call some people by their names, so they just call them what they are. Shorter.

"Director Chu, it seems that our cooperation has come to an end..." Chen Xiyuan said slowly.

"Old Chen, are you 51 this year?"

"Yeah, after half a century, half of my body can be considered buried. It seems that I'd better go back to my hometown in Hangzhou and forget about it."

"Don't tell me, the Prime Minister scolded you just now, but whoever called you the Prime Minister, even if he kicked me, I have to admit it. Why are you afraid of scolding, Lao Chen, let's continue to do it, the Prime Minister You are right, although Hanyao has learned a lot of technology from foreigners, but after mastering the real technology, the core technology is in our hands.

Tell me about yourself, when you arrived in Hangzhou, the people at the Jiangnan Shipyard heard the news again, and told you to go back if you were not sure, and follow the foreigners, what can you do.Our prime minister is still young, you have died of old age in the ice city all your life, I think you can also enter the textbooks of our Hanyao elementary and middle schools.Think about it, this is the shipbuilding industry that we Chinese have researched and manufactured by ourselves. What a great achievement? "

"However, Prime Minister..." As Chen Xiyuan said, he remembered the way Zhu Chuanwen scolded him just now, which was exactly the same as when he pointed his nose and scolded his son.

"What's the matter, but, you just met, this cigarette was also taken out by our prime minister, just waiting for you to continue to do your best for our Hanyao dock. Right now, the dock in Bingcheng can be said to be on the right track, Han The construction of Yaogang's dock has also started.

Old Chen, let me just say, Hanyao's shipbuilding would not work without you!Jiangnan Shipyard did not let you be the chief engineer. Look, when you come to Bingcheng, am I the first one to give you the position of chief engineer? In the past, Hanyao did not have this position. Technical director. "

"Director Chu, can I continue to work?" Chen Xiyuan was a little nervous. In fact, that sentence was written in Hanyao's textbook, which made him feel excited. At the same time, it was also because Hanyao really mastered his shipbuilding technology. It's really no worse than the British ones. This is really obsessed with years of technical research.

And the reason why he directly started with [-] tons in Bingcheng was that Hanyao's series of steel products and other series of integration capabilities frightened Chen Xiyuan.

"Yes, you are the chief engineer under me. I accept my fate. The chief executive can only manage me at this level, and you are my supervisor. As long as I spare my face, I will hug the chief executive's leg and cry A few times, if I won't let you go, can you go?" Chu Keqiu winked.

Chen Xiyuan looked at this seemingly irrelevant director, and gradually let go of his heart. He was afraid that he would offend Zhu Chuanwen in the future, and this work was really difficult to advance.

"Director Chu, Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement, let us contribute to Hanyao's shipbuilding together!"

"Okay, let's work together to contribute to Hanyao's shipbuilding!"

In Chen Xiyuan's office, two hands were tightly clasped together...

……

"Old Chu, is that why you came to my house?"

In the evening, Chu Keqiu appeared in Zhu's Manor.

"President, I brought you good wine, but when you enter the door..."

"Hey, Chuanwen, the wine Keqiu sent is really good, I can smell it from a long way away!" Zhu Kaishan's hearty shout immediately filled the whole room, waiting to see Chu Keqiu, "You boy, Running here is a complaint, didn’t you tell me to give me wine when you saw me just now?”

If I don't give you what you looked like just now, wouldn't you be able to get in through the door?Chu Keqiu was slandering in his heart, but he still said on the face: "No, my old boss, I have a big event with my boss today, and I am reporting to the prime minister."

"Come on, let's talk! Stay for dinner at night, and I won't take your things for nothing. I'll give you something interesting later." Zhu Kaishan walked outside when he heard that. Recently, he followed Zhu Chuanwen and saw a lot of novel things, but That's right, these researchers reported endlessly, this parameter, that parameter made Lao Zhu's head hurt, and it was far from being as straightforward as Zhu Chuanwen said when he first saw the water tank.

Seeing his father cut off the wine, Zhu Chuanwen spread his hands helplessly, "Old Chu, what I did for you today, I sang red faces, but I was exhausted. I have never scolded someone like that before." The wine you gave is not counted as a return..." Zhu Chuanwen thought for a while, "I will go to your house later, lest I be intercepted by my father again."

"Okay, Prime Minister, that's the deal. But Chen Xiyuan seems to really want to understand the play we sang today. In the future, we will be the chief engineer of Hanyao?"

"This is a problem. We will gradually cultivate the position of chief engineer in the future, but one thing to be sure is that the chief engineer of Hanyao must have a certain research ability, and cannot..." Zhu Chuanwen was talking, his secretary-general Zhen Shouheng walked in again.

"President, Director Xia urgently called..."
