Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1451 The greater your ability, the busier you will be!
"It's raining!"

"Hurry up! The leader will be here soon, so don't be careless!"

Hongxing Iron and Steel Plant, production and R&D workshop.

Guan Zhiyong shouted loudly, looking at the busy crowd with excitement on his face.

"Lao Zhang, how are your preparations going?"

"is that OK!"

Seeing everyone busy, Guan Zhiyong came to Lao Dao, handed him a cigarette, and then asked.

"No problem. Last time we experimented with a small boiler and after some craftsmanship, you can see that the thing is similar to imported tinplate."

The veteran said confidently, and then turned his eyes to the iron plate on the table beside him. At this moment, the iron plate was tied with a big red flower.

Several people in the R&D department around him were very fond of it and smiled from time to time.

Guan Zhiyong also looked at it and felt relieved.

Seeing this, the old Taoist said nothing more, but felt emotional in his heart.

If Yang Xiaotao hadn't thoroughly analyzed the process himself and told them how to do it, how to do it, and to what extent.

People like them will not be able to research it in another ten years, let alone produce it!
Guan Zhiyong picked up a match and lit it for Lao Dao, then lit it himself, and then stared at the tinplate not far away.

"I heard that no one in our country has developed this thing yet?"

The old Taoist nodded, "Yes! I heard Mr. Yang say so!"

"I also heard that this thing is great abroad?"

"Yes, that's what Mr. Yang said!"

"I also heard..."

"I said, old manager, are you done yet? Don't you notice that I'm busy making arrangements here? Why don't you go to the gate and have a look? The leader will be here soon, just in time to greet you."

Guan Zhiyong quickly gave up and said, "Okay, I'll go right now, I'll go right now."

"I'll leave this to you!"

Before leaving, I looked at the tinplate under the big red flowers.

The old man waved his hand and asked him to go about his business.

Guan Zhiyong ran away quickly, but the old Taoist looked at the one foot wide and two meter long tinplate placed on the table next to him.

He knew that the original name of this thing was not tinplate, but more people called it that, so they all called it that.

The real name is what Yang Xiaotao told him, tin-plated iron.

Of course, saying the name is the same as not saying it. Everyone knows what it is anyway.

Just looking at the tinplate for a moment, the old man's eyes were a little disappointed.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, this is no different from the imported ones, it is really far worse than the Chinese New Year ones.

One is the thickness. This layer of tinplate is 15 mm thick. Although it is the first time, with the current rolling mill capacity, it is estimated that it can be at most 13 mm thick. Going forward, you will have to consider changing the rolling mill!

It can be said that this is the limit of what they can do.

But what about imported ones?
People have already achieved 8 mm, which is almost half less!
This is the gap.

The second one is output.

According to his estimate, even if the production is at full capacity, the output will only be about ten tons per month, which is still high.

If there is a shortage of raw materials, the personnel are unfamiliar with the operation, etc., the output will have to be discounted.

He looked away from the tinplate and looked at the busy workers on the side.

My mood suddenly brightened.

Just like Guan Zhiyong said, no matter what the difference between this thing is, it is the first of its kind in China.

They are all remarkable things.

Coming from nothing is a result.

From existence to perfection is a process.

The role this played in revolutionary construction is immeasurable.

However, Yang Xiaotao didn't come to such an important occasion. What happened over there?
The old Taoist always feels that without Yang Xiaotao here to hold the battle, he feels uneasy.

Guan Zhiyong's confirmation just now is probably because of this.

Suppress your thoughts.

The old man then walked to Liu Daming and others who were inspecting the machine.

"Old Liu, is there something wrong with the machine?"

Liu Daming glanced at the familiar rolling mill and patted the machine casing. "No problem. Although it's a little raw since I haven't touched it for a long time, it's hot after touching it twice."

Liu Daming said with a smile, and there were several apprentices behind him. This time they came from the machinery factory to help.

Of course, if everything goes well, I will work here in the future.

This is a big step forward.

"I haven't touched this thing for a long time!"

"Since the steel rolling mill was renamed as the machinery plant, this thing was moved to the first branch, and I didn't expect it to be moved here again."

"Unfortunately, we did not produce this ourselves. If it breaks, it will be troublesome to repair."

Liu Daming automatically got into the role again, always thinking long-term.

Nowadays, machinery factories mainly produce machine tools.

In addition, there are those machines used for export, such as engines and pots.

Just like this kind of rolling mill, most of them are produced by brother units.

It's just that the productivity of those factories is not that Liu Daming looks down on them, but there are really not many decent ones.

Domestic machine manufacturing has always been in a state of limbo, which is also related to the fact that these factories cannot produce good products.

Liu Daming thought that when Yang Xiaotao came back, he must suggest that the machinery factory set up its own workshop to produce rolling mills.

In his opinion, this thing is not difficult. With Yang Xiaotao's ability, it must be no problem.

"Old Liu, let's use it first and then talk about it."

"I'll go next door and have a look."

"Okay, you're busy, I'll take someone to get familiar with it again."

Lao Dao left the rolling mill operation site and came to the workshop separated by the side. At this time, An Zhongsheng was explaining the process to Xu Yuanshan.

Xu Yuanshan nodded while listening, and the workers seconded from the chemical plant were communicating with the workers beside him.

“Safety issues are particularly important, you must do a good job!”

While Xu Yuanshan was giving instructions, he nodded when he saw the old Tao coming over, and then thought of something, "Where is Yang Xiaotao? Do you know?"

The old Taoist nodded. Not much was known about this in the machinery factory. He knew something about it from Ran Qiuye because he was in the same yard as Yang Xiaotao.

"Xiao Yang came back last time. He heard that a friend was coming over, so he went..."

Whatever Yang Xiaotao told Ran Qiuye, Ran Qiuye told Lao Tao.

"I can't get back there, and I don't know what the situation is now."

Xu Yuanshan frowned, "Do they, the chief, know about this?"

"You should know!" the old man said uncertainly, and several people were silent for a moment.

"Okay, if he doesn't come back, you have to do better."

"I heard that Mr. Chen is coming. This is the first time in our country. Not only the machinery factory, but also the first machine department is paying attention to it."

"Yang Xiaotao is not here, so you have to earn face for him!"

The old Taoist stroked his beard and nodded, and An Zhongsheng gritted his back teeth and said, "No problem!"

In my heart, I can't repay Yang Xiaotao's kindness. I can only repay with success.

The entrance to the steel factory.

The rain was pouring down, and it could rain all day long.

When Guan Zhiyong came to the door holding an umbrella, he happened to see five armored vehicles parked at the door.

I immediately understood in my heart that the big guys from the machinery factory were here.

In this Forty-Nine City, only the machinery factory can use Kui Niu as a means of transportation. Not only do other factories not have this thing, but even the army has it, they are reluctant to part with it.

Guan Zhiyong felt envious as he watched the senior executives of the machinery factory get off the armored vehicle.

So cool!

When will my own steel factory have one for transportation?

When this idea came up in my mind, I got out of control.

Tell Mr. Yang next time he comes.

Even if the benefits are less in the future, that’s fine!

The first people to get out of the car were Chen Gong and others, all with smiles on their faces. They took the umbrellas handed to them and stood aside to look at the armored vehicle.

Then came Yang Youning, and finally Liang Zuoxin and Liu Huaimin.

After Liang Zuoxin got off the car, he waved his hand, and more than 30 people got out of the armored vehicle behind them, all fully armed. After forming a team in the rain, they immediately entered the steel plant.

"Secretary, factory director."

Guan Zhiyong immediately came forward and greeted him cordially.

"Director, how are you preparing?"

"Today, I think I'll be in the workshop."

Yang Youning spoke, and Guan Zhiyong immediately nodded, "We have arranged it this way. Everything is ready."

Liu Huaimin nodded aside and walked to the factory.

"Old manager, you are in the limelight again this time!"

While walking, Zhou Shenghong's voice came from beside him, and Guan Zhiyong smiled when he saw it.

He didn't dare to underestimate these carpenters now. The armor produced by the machinery factory today was all designed and installed by these carpenters. It was said that the steel plates they installed had no seams at all, and no traces could be felt with their hands.

I heard that we are currently researching structures that can be embedded with reactive armor, which is very popular in machinery factories.

I also registered with Mr. Yang.

Now no one dares to say that Hongxing Lumber Factory is a fool.

"No way, it's all the fault of Commander-in-Chief Yang!"

Hearing this, Zhou Shenghong nodded vigorously, "That's right. We are where we are today thanks to Mr. Yang!"

Guan Zhiyong nodded in agreement.

"I just don't know where Mr. Yang has gone. I really want to talk to him about our new ideas!"

Guan Zhiyong listened, glanced at the gate, and then shook his head, "The greater the ability, the busier a person will be!"

"A capable person like Mr. Yang must be very busy."

"Yes, you are right!"

"It must be so!"

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The rain was still falling, and the production workshop of the steel plant was crowded with people.

On the rostrum, Mr. Chen sat in the middle, accompanied by Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia, and there were several accompanying big shots.

Among these people, all the remaining six bosses from the seven machine departments were present.

As for the leaders of the remaining one machine department, the leaders of other machine departments can only move to the back.

Those who were not seated had to stand aside.

As for the machinery factory, Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning were sitting at the end of the first row.

Although it is at the end, it is glorious enough. After all, this is the first row!

"Old Huang, this steel factory is doing a good job!"

"How many years ago now, I remember that last year this factory produced 300 million tons of iron, 200 million tons of steel ingots, and 105 million tons of steel."

Mr. Chen looked at the steel plant and was deeply impressed by the visit. At the same time, he also recalled that this output was ranked high not only in the 49th city, but also nationwide.

Especially as one of the first steel plants to refit converters, it is of even greater significance.

Many people have proposed to separate the steel plant into the Sijiucheng Steel Plant.

After all, such a large factory is just a branch factory, which makes those who talk about large steel plants all day a little embarrassed.

"Chief, what you mentioned has already been achieved this year."

Mr. Xia spoke on the side. He was also familiar with these branches of the machinery factory.

Not to mention the chemical factory, every time he earns any amount of foreign exchange, he has to hand it over at a glance.

The steel factory even cheered the development of the machinery factory, so it was also clear.

"If we continue this year, by the end of the year, we should be able to double the amount we received last year."

After Mr. Xia finished speaking, several big guys in the front row couldn't sit still, and they were all thinking about the outcome in their hearts.

“However, with this kind of output, the machinery factory is still not enough!”

Huang Lao sighed with emotion, "It has so many uses!"

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "This means you are doing a good job!"

"Hahaha, this is all the work of the comrades below. As you know, the two of us are waiting to take a back seat and make way for the young people!"

Mr. Huang smiled, and Mr. Qin beside him chirped, "You are destined to be lucky. You have a successor. Come and try with us?"

Next to him, Mr. Wang stared at the workers in front of him and pouted, "Isn't that right!"

"It will make you angry and have high blood pressure in a matter of minutes."

As he spoke, there was a strong sour taste in his mouth, but he meant something.

Everyone understands in their hearts.

He glanced at Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning on both sides of the front row.

The two of them listened with their ears pricked up, feeling the gazes around them, and sat up straighter.

They also knew what Mr. Huang meant and who the person he was talking about was.

But the transition during this period requires them to step up.

Who told that guy to be too young!
