The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 351 Old acquaintance, how have you been these past ten years?
At the beginning of August, Yan Jiecheng paid attention to all the construction projects in the ministry during this period.

Instructions were given on the progress and technical points.

We also talked with the directors of the research institutes affiliated to the Academy of Railway Sciences.

They are well aware of their research projects and progress.

After all, he is going to study soon and will not have much time to devote to work later.

Before leaving, you must make some arrangements for your supervisor's work.

However, after Yan Jiecheng completed these tasks, Zhuang Yibo, the person in charge of the Jinhua Institute, came to find him.

He directly found the office of the chief engineer of the ministry, and first approached Dai Mao directly.

"Director Dai, does the leader have time today? I want to report something to the leader." Zhuang Yibo said to Dai Mao with a smile.

Facing the directors of these research institutes, Dai Mao knew that Yan Jiecheng treasured these people the most.He did not dare to neglect and said quickly: "Director Zhuang, please wait a moment. The leader has some time in the afternoon. I will report to him first."

Zhuang Yibo naturally has no problem.

Yan Jiecheng was a little curious when he heard Dai Mao say that Zhuang Yibo came to him to report to him. He didn't know that this guy had something important and he actually wanted to report in person.

This Zhuang Yibao is an old expert, a double doctor trained by Mao Xiong after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

He used to preside over research work at the High-Speed ​​Railway Research Institute, and was later transferred to the Jinhua Institute of Chemical Technology as the director.

But compared to this, Yan Jiecheng is willing to call him the most powerful king.

With Yan Jiecheng's consent, Dai Mao quickly invited Zhuang Yibo in.

Yan Jiecheng saw it and smiled and said: "Secretary Dai, quickly give Director Jin a soak in the Longjing I brought from the leader two days ago."

Then he smiled and said to Zhuang Yibo: "Lao Zhuang, this is the Mingqian Longjing I got from the leader two days ago. Please try it. How does it taste?"

Dai Mao made tea and went out.

Zhuang Yibo was naturally not polite either. He didn't know what politeness meant these years.

After smelling it, the fragrance is strong but not dissipating, making people feel light and refreshed.

After taking a sip, he felt the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth, so he said, "Dean, this tea is really good."

As he spoke, he took two more sips.

Then he said: "The boss has good tea here. It's not like I can only drink high-end tea at my old age."

Yan Jiecheng listened to this and pretended not to hear it, and was still busy with the work at hand.

Zhuang Yibo glanced at the tea can that Dai Mao had put aside, and then said: "Well, I know that the director misses us old people the most. I thank you, director, for the tea."

After saying this, the guy put the tea can on the coffee table directly into his bag.

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw this scene. This old guy is really careless.

When Yan Jiecheng is with the leader, what he pays attention to is a foreshadowing to make the leader feel embarrassed, and then take the initiative to give him some.

There is no one like him like Zhuang Yibo. He is simply a bandit.

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to put down his work.He said: "Lao Zhuang, when the tea leaves are gone soon, ask Secretary Dai to pack half a catty for you.

You can't take this tea can away from me. "

Zhuang Yibo smiled and took out the tea leaves from the bag again without any embarrassment.

Yan Jiechengquan thought that he was blind and could not see all this.

Said: "Lao Zhuang, you came to me specifically. Isn't it just for this tea?"

Zhuang Yibo then took out a document from his bag, handed it to Yan Jiecheng and said: "Leader, I heard that you are planning to build an environmental test base at the Academy of Railway Sciences.

Therefore, we are planning to build a full-length rail quenching test center at this base. "

Then he continued: "This is our report document on the construction of the experimental center."

Yan Jiecheng listened and nodded.

Zhuang Yibo, who was on the side, saw Yan Jiecheng showing interest and quickly talked about this experimental center.

"Leader, after the completion of this test center, it can not only be used to train the technology of quenching the entire length of the rail.

It is also possible to provide 5000 to 6000 tons of full-length quenched rails for railways every year.

It also provides a test base for the research on new technologies for full-length rail quenching.

In the future, maybe we can also strengthen international technical exchanges and cooperation. "

Yan Jiecheng looked at Zhuang Yibo's excitement. He himself also knew the importance of this technology.

The Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line used this technology on part of its rails at that time.

The full-length rail head quenching is made through heating and rapid cooling to make it stronger, which is called full-length rail quenching treatment.

It is an important measure to improve the wear resistance and compression resistance of railway rails.

In the early 60s, the national economy ushered in new and great development.

The bottleneck effect of railway transportation arteries is prominent. Railway rails are generally not wear-resistant, not compressible, and have a short service life.

In October 65, the rail coordination groups of the Ministry of Metallurgy and Railways decided to jointly carry out experimental research on full-length quenching of rails in response to this current situation.

In 66, the Academy of Railway Sciences went to Jialingjiang to implement cooperation with the Jialingjiang Iron and Steel Plant to carry out a full-length rail quenching test research project.

A battle team was set up to start designing and processing at the same time.

At that time, an idle factory building by the Jialing River was also used. All members of the battle team worked with the master workers to install equipment, conduct debugging, and conduct process tests.

The rail is a long component with a special-shaped section. Heating and cooling will naturally cause rail deformation.

So at the beginning, after the first rail was quenched throughout its length, the 12.5-meter-long rail was upturned by 500 mm.

This is very scary!

How to do?
After repeated consideration and many attempts, the slope of the quenching test line and the dead weight of the rail were increased, and the deformation after quenching of the entire length of the rail was overcome.

During the test, the structure of the heating and cooling devices and the adjustment of process parameters were continuously improved.

After nearly two months of hard work day and night, qualified full-length quenched rails were finally produced, indicating that the rail full-length quenching test line is feasible.

As a result, China's first full-length quenching test production line for 12.5-meter rails was born on the bank of the Jialing River.

Originally, things were almost done here.But later Yan Jiecheng built a Beijing-Tianjin passenger dedicated line.

This project had many new technologies at the time, such as 100-meter long rails.

It's still a seamless line, which gives Jinhua Institute a new idea.

Moreover, according to their ongoing follow-up investigation and development of the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line, saddle-shaped joint diseases are easily formed at the rail welding joints.

Zhuang Yibo led research and found that the saddle joint disease is caused by the softening zone of the joint during rail welding.

Therefore, they are planning to set up an experimental center.

Although Lao Zhuang said a lot, Yan Jiecheng still didn't understand something and asked: "Lao Zhuang, haven't we already solved the 250-meter rail heat treatment technology.

Currently in the Chengnan rail welding workshop, the technology is very mature.

This time, I'm afraid you may have other ideas. "

After listening to Yan Jiecheng's words, Lao Zhuang said with a smile: "Leader, I know that the heat treatment of the 250-meter rail in the south of the city is doing very well.

The actual operation assessment of the Jinpu Line shows that the service life is more than doubled.

The welded joints are flat and intact, and the saddle-shaped joint disease has been successfully eliminated.

But we can't rest on our laurels. We are now fully capable of running the 500-meter race. "

Yan Jiecheng was a little hesitant after hearing this.This technological progress is naturally a good thing.

But now that funds are tight, is it necessary to do this?

This requires him to weigh it carefully.

After all, there are probably many projects, and Yan Jiecheng can only invest his money in the most suitable place.Yan Jiecheng thought for a while, then looked at Lao Zhuang and said: "Lao Zhuang, you led the team to participate in the International Overload Conference a few days ago.

Our technology has attracted great attention from Yingjiang colleagues, and we have discussed cooperation matters many times.

At that time, this task was entrusted to you. How is the situation now? "

After hearing this, Lao Zhuang suddenly felt bad.He quickly said: "General Manager Yan, you don't understand Yingjiang yet, and you are speaking very harshly.

But when it comes time for them to actually pay, they are stingy than anyone else.

They only want to spend 1000 million US dollars to introduce this technology.

You also know that we spend a lot of manpower and material resources to research this technology.

How is $1000 million possible?So the matter was dropped. "

Yan Jiecheng glanced at Lao Zhuang, and then added some water to his own teapot.

Sitting on the sofa next to Lao Zhuang, he said: "Lao Zhuang, I know what you think. There is nothing wrong with pursuing technological progress.

But with the current economic situation, we only have so much research funding.

Every penny needs to be spent on the most urgent areas, and we still need to move this experimental center back. "

After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Lao Zhuang wanted to fight for it again.

Yan Jiecheng saw it and said quickly: "Lao Zhuang, look at your experimental center. The initial construction cost and investment alone are more than 4 million.

Tell me, where can I find that 4 million yuan?

Our foundation is poor and funds are tight now, so we can only make up for our shortcomings.

Therefore, the heat treatment of these 250 meters of rails is completely sufficient. "

After hearing this, Lao Zhuang felt very depressed.

Yan Jiecheng comforted him and said, "Don't be discouraged.

Our scientific research funds are limited, and all scientific research projects can only serve actual production.

Later, when our economy improves and we have a lot of funding, we can then study these cutting-edge technologies. "

Lao Zhuang naturally understood this. He had heard that he had signed a large contract with Xiaori.

So this time I came here mainly to try to use the profits from this contract to build an experimental center.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jiecheng refused without even thinking.

Lao Zhuang finally left very disappointed.

Although when he left, Yan Jiecheng stuffed two bags of the best Mingqian Longjing into his bag.

But the whole person is still a little listless.

Yan Jiecheng thought to himself that it might have been a wrong decision to let this little old man become the director.

If he continues to be an ordinary scientific researcher, he probably won't have to worry about this kind of project now, and he might be a happy gambler after get off work.

Just when Yan Jiecheng was sighing, Dai Mao came to his office, glanced at him, and said hesitantly:
"Boss, I just called from the gate and said that a man named Zhou Xiaobo wants to see you.

you see? "

Zhou Xiaobo?
Yan Jiecheng suddenly heard the name, and he couldn't help but fall into memories.

Zhou Xiaobo was his first secretary, and that was ten years ago.Because of the incident at the Yangcheng Hongxing Home Appliances Factory, I was expelled and sent to a labor camp. I didn't expect that it would have been so many years.

At first, the other party followed me, in the Locomotive and Rolling Stock Management Bureau, in the Education Management Department, and all the way to the High-Speed ​​Rail Research Institute.

Yan Jiecheng remembered many things from ten years ago, and then sighed.

Said to Dai Mao: "Go down and bring him here in person."

Over at the department gate, there was a man in his 40s, wearing clean, starched clothes, but the clothes were a little shabby.

He looked into the courtyard with a sheepish expression.

There was a man on duty at the guard box nearby, holding a rifle in his hand and staring at him.

After all, this man said that he was here to see Mr. Yan, so he had to make them nervous on duty at these posts.

Zhou Xiaobo couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw the man on duty at the post.

He used to come here often and even worked there for a while.

But at that moment, he wouldn't have imagined that one day this place would be so far away from him.

Just for a while, he looked at several people he knew before.Some of those people seem to be quite big leaders.

Zhou Xiaobo was still afraid of being recognized and embarrassed, so he hid aside, but no one even looked at him.

After Zhou Xiaobo waited for a while, the doorman's phone rang.I feel a bit lost and just want to leave like this.

A man who looked like a cadre walked towards the gate post.

Dai Mao arrived at the gate and saw that in addition to the guard booth, there was also a down-and-out middle-aged man.

Then he walked forward and said, "Excuse me, are you Comrade Zhou Xiaobo?"

Zhou Xiaobo quickly said: "It's me, the leader. I am Zhou Xiaobo."

Dai Mao looked at the other party carefully, and then said to Mengang: "Well, this Comrade Zhou Xiaobo is what the leader wants to see."

Then he said to Zhou Xiaobo: "Let's go, the leader wants to see you."

Afterwards, Zhou Xiaobo quickly smiled favorably at Dai Mao.

It's just that he is a proud person, even though he is making a flattering smile.But one can tell at a glance that it is very stiff.

Dai Mao also smiled when he saw it, and there was no communication between the two.Silently walked towards the building where Yan Jiecheng worked.

Zhou Xiaobo knew that the person who came to pick him up was probably the leader's secretary.

Thinking of this, he felt bitter in his heart.

Back then, I was the leader’s first secretary.

"Comrade, let me ask, how are you doing as a leader these years?"

Dai Mao, who was leading the way, suddenly heard this sound.

He glanced at Zhou Xiaobo in surprise and then said, "The leader has always been very good."

"That's good, that's good." Zhou Xiaobo seemed to answer Dai Mao, or muttered to himself.

Seeing the familiar and unfamiliar environment around him, Zhou Xiaobo had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

It took the two of them 10 minutes to walk from the main entrance of the ministry to Yan Jiecheng's office.

There were people greeting Dai Mao along the way. After all, as Yan Jiecheng's secretary, he was considered a popular figure in the ministry.

Of course, the enthusiasm of others is indispensable.

Arriving next to Yan Jiecheng's office, Dai Mao first arranged for Zhou Xiaobo to rest in the reception room.

He went to report to Yan Jiecheng himself.

After Yan Jiecheng heard this, he said directly: "Let him come over."

After a while, Dai Mao came in with Zhou Xiaobo.

After coming in, Yan Jiecheng did not raise his head and continued to work.

Dai Mao made tea for Zhou Xiaobo and went out.

Zhou Xiaobo was a little restless sitting on the sofa.At this moment, he developed as if Yan Jiecheng's aura here was even stronger.

He felt that the air here was solid.

After a while, Yan Jiecheng finished approving a file.Then he looked up at Zhou Xiaobo and said, "How have you been these past ten years?"
