The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Zhou Xiaobai planned to do it himself, "I'll make the mushroom soup."

Surprised, Zhou Zhennan smiled happily and said, "Then I'll wait and drink."

Zhou Xiaobai put his little hands behind his back and thought: "You still don't know what Xiao Ming wants to eat? I will decide on the ingredients after asking him."

With the recipes and her mother's examples, she felt that cooking shouldn't be difficult.

It turned out that it was incidental. Zhou Zhennan asked a little sourly: "You didn't even think of asking me what I wanted to eat?"

Zhou Xiaobai said with a smile: "You like to eat everything, you are easy to feed, there is no problem."

Such a reluctant excuse could only be left to this. Zhou Zhennan stood up and asked, "What else have you studied recently?"

Zhou Xiaobai said, "We have tested several kinds of noodles with different toughness and elasticity."

"However, research on quartz movements has not made much progress."

After talking about this, Zhou Zhennan ordered: "Ask Xiao Ming to add a report on the research direction of quartz movements."

Zhou Xiaobai asked: "What exactly do you want him to write?"

Zhou Zhennan didn't remember it that clearly, so he motioned to Secretary Liu next to him to take out his notepad.

Secretary Liu was well prepared. “He proposed to use 32768 Hz frequency as the benchmark. Some relevant comrades pointed out that such a high frequency would lead to increased power consumption.”

"And the frequency of 32768 Hz is compared to the 8192 Hz used abroad. The quartz crystal needs to be cut thinner and the processing will be more difficult."

Most of the frequencies currently studied by Risen and Swiss are 8192 Hz, and the prototype watches produced are thicker and larger.

For quartz crystal oscillators, higher frequency means more power consumption, while lower frequency means larger volume.

32768 Hz, 2 to the 15th power, can be used in a wide range of applications. It is an optimal frequency based on power consumption, volume, processing difficulty, etc.

The report written by Li Ming is based on the theme of "breaking the foreign framework and overtaking in corners to become the world leader", so the goal set is naturally higher.

There is also an objective factor in his wanting to get it right in one step.

The research on quartz watches cannot be accomplished by a watch factory alone. It also requires the cooperation of electronics factories, component factories, battery factories and other units.

It is necessary to bring together many domestic manufacturers to fight together and engage in joint research and development.

Things that are developed through collective battles can naturally be used by everyone.

Nationally unified model movement, unified specifications of accessories, etc. It can be mass-produced, the cost can be significantly reduced, and future maintenance is also very simple.

In the next two years, the international standard will be changed from 8192 Hz to 32768 Hz. If the country wants to follow suit, it will be a waste of resources.

If they do not change, thick and thick watches will not be competitive in other countries and will be difficult to export.

Li Ming would naturally think of directly making a movement with the optimal frequency, so as to avoid unnecessary mistakes and go directly on the right path.

Zhou Xiaobai talked eloquently: "I heard Xiao Ming talk about this. He said that the processing difficulty is higher, but such technical problems are not impossible to solve."

"As for the issue of power consumption, he also mentioned that foreign capitalists are just trying to come up with some fancy but useless functions."

"Our country does not engage in those fake watches. We want to provide the masses with cheap, simple, generous and punctual watches."

"Removing those useless functions can save a lot of power, reduce manufacturing difficulty, and significantly reduce production costs."

Zhou Zhennan has never liked Mi Mi, and he also doesn't like those frivolous things. "Cheap, simple, generous, and punctual. It's summed up well."

“The most important function of a watch is to tell time, and the most important thing is to be on time.”

Zhou Xiaobai frowned and said, "It's a pity that many of the instruments and equipment we ordered have not arrived yet."

"Xiao Ming said that some manufacturers fight every day and have no time or energy to produce."

Zhou Zhennan was helpless, "They will resume production sooner or later. Take your time."

It's not appropriate to tell your daughter how serious the situation actually is. It's better to comfort her and let her continue to be carefree.

I took a break from my busy schedule to take a look, but Zhou Zhennan left quickly after reading it.

It's approaching noon time.

Under the scorching sun, the processing plant construction site got off work early, and Li Ming drove back to the factory.

As the pickup truck passed the gate, he saw many people putting final touches on the statue.

It can be completed in a few days. If you hurry up, you can still make it in time for the gift in July.

The work done by the steel rolling mill is average, and the newspapers are much more positive than the steel rolling mill.

For example, "Carry out the 'five major' activities of university, big back, big use, big singing and big publicity"

Another example is Shi Jingshan Middle School, which established a study group. I persisted in reading for one hour every day to "be immovable", and also created a new pattern of "asking for instructions early and reporting at night".

Since the skirmish on May 5th.

The small gang on No. 2 has become a benchmark of various kinds.

The competition and formal annotation that each unit had with each other has now become more and more intense.

Li Ming's security department has been publishing blackboard reports more and more diligently recently.

He inspected the security department and found that Captain Fan Jiawen and others helped him deal with all the minor matters.

Big things, there really are no big things that can be dealt with by the Security Department at this time.

If it weren't for the fact that the inspection team of the steel rolling mill had also streamlined its personnel a few days ago, small matters would rarely be handled by the security department.

Li Ming didn't want to eat the noodles from the institute, and he didn't ask Chengxi Xiaoyuan to make lunch in advance, so he planned to go to the cafeteria to get food.

From a distance, he saw Fatty flattering Silly Zhu.

"Chef He, it's almost lunch time, you still have time to chat!"

Silly Zhu said cheerfully: "The dishes are all cooked, and the people who are eating haven't gotten off work yet. Why don't we just take a break."

Li Ming asked with a smile: "Where is Xiaozao's? If you don't prepare it first, you will be too busy later."

Silly Zhu coughed, "Didn't the superiors inform you that no treats or gifts are allowed?"

"The factory has been carrying out frugal activities recently, and not many people eat in the canteen. Our kitchen is much freer now."

Some time ago, many units established their own advocacy committees.

For such a big happy event, there must be a celebration party.

If a brother unit does something good, it must be celebrated with a gift, a banner or something.

After receiving gifts from others, you have to treat them to a nice meal, right?

If you eat someone else's food, you have to treat it in return, right?

The result can be imagined, you treat me, I treat you, the trend of eating and drinking is very popular.

To this end, the superiors issued several notices in succession, requiring diligence and frugality in doing things and opposing extravagance and waste.

The steel rolling mill also has a meeting to study in the afternoon.

'It's not just about saving a few bucks. .'

'Some people have come through long-term hard times; however, after they entered the city, they gradually abandoned our fine style of hard work and became officials and masters, separated from the masses, and pampered themselves. They were hit by sugar-coated bullets. '

'Among our young comrades, many have not suffered the hardships of the old society and have not experienced the hardships of the war. '

'There are also some people who lack training in labor and do not have a deep relationship with the working people. '

Diligence and thrift are now at a very high level and are not something to be talked about casually.

Director Li of the steel rolling mill naturally kept up with the situation.

People in the office building were going to work in the workshops, and the canteen was deserted. After chatting for a while, Li Ming asked curiously: "Where is your recipe?"

"I heard someone said that you are going to ask the big leader to help you. I haven't seen you making any movements. Don't they have time to help?"

"I'm willing to help, and even called me to ask." Silly Zhu continued: "It's a pity that the printing factory doesn't have time to print the recipes."

"Now the printing factory has a very important task. It is to print "Anthology of the People's Republic of China". This year's task is 8000 million copies."

Li Mingyou heard about this, "8000 million is a national task, not our capital's task."

"You get 100 million from each province and I get 200 million from each province to print separately. We don't have many in the capital."

全国900多家印刷厂中有181家承担了这个印制任务，实际出书3亿6877万册（折合9211万部）

The remaining 700 or so also have important tasks, including printing 3.7 million copies of quotations.

There are also 8.59 million copies of "Selected Readings of Works" and various albums, compilations, and individual volumes.

Portraits, poems and quotes, 17.35 billion pieces.

Being able to print so many is mainly due to the huge demand.

Shazhu obviously found out clearly, "The printing factories in the capital are too busy! We have asked the binding factories in the rural communes for help for binding."

"And there is still a shortage of paper. The paper must be supplied to the "Anthology" first. No matter how round it is, my recipe will not be included."

Li Ming smiled and said, "Then we can only wait. Now that you are free, you can proofread and revise it a few more times to make sure there are no errors or omissions."

Silly Zhu complained on his lips, but in reality he was arrogant, "I can only take a break in the factory. I have to take care of my children when I go home, so I have less free time."

"You can tell Xu Damao this. There are old ladies and aunts in the courtyard to help you, and several children are also rushing to take care of you. You have a child with a hammer."

Silly Zhu explained with a smile: "When I was not at home, thanks to their help. I went back from get off work, and I was embarrassed not to help."

"Yeah, yeah, that makes sense."

Li Ming didn't talk nonsense with Silly Zhu and his apprentice for long. He packed up food and went to find Zhou Xiaobai.

West of the city, Food Research Laboratory.

Zhou Xiaobai asked with concern: "Did the construction go smoothly today?"

"It went smoothly. It's just digging the soil. It's a simple matter."

"Building a factory is troublesome, isn't it? You have one more thing to do."

Li Ming said casually: "Team Leader Qiu and Deputy Team Leader Du are in charge, and people from the ham sausage processing factory are busy. I just need to coordinate the supplies."

Men are very capable, so there is really no need to worry. Zhou Xiaobai also talked about the research direction of quartz movements.

Li Ming proposed the plan himself, explaining the reasons clearly and shouldering his responsibility, "When I finish writing it, you can take it back to your father."

"Yes." Zhou Xiaobai asked with a smile: "I will pick mushrooms in the next two days. I plan to make mushroom soup. What ingredients do you think I should add?"

Li Ming coaxed: "As long as it's made by you, I like it."

Zhou Xiaobai opened his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You can give me some opinions."

Li Ming made a simple request, "Lean mushroom soup?"

"Then I'll try making this dish."

"I'll taste your dish first."

"Luo Yun went to buy soda and will be back soon."

"I'll just kiss you on the lips, it'll be quick."

"Um"

Harbor city in the afternoon.

The temperature is so high that the asphalt on the road seems to be melting.

Li Ming was blowing on the air conditioner in his office in Central, eating grass jelly with crushed ice, "It's a bit hot today."

Lou Xiao'e drank iced milk tea, "The temperature in Hong Kong City is actually not as high as that in Beijing. It's just that the humidity is relatively high and it's a bit sultry."

"I find it quite strange. Why is the harbor city cooler than the capital city? Shouldn't it be hotter as you go south?"

Li Ming said nonchalantly: "The port city is by the sea."

Lou Xiao'e said sweetly: "The south and the north are so far apart."

Not bothering to explain any more, Li Ming finished a gulp of fairy grass honey and asked, "What is the main content of today's meeting?"

"I have to go back to the steel rolling mill for a meeting in the afternoon and I don't have time to hold a meeting in the port city."

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment, "It's nothing urgent. The production line in Xinjia Slope should start assembling at this time."

"The production line on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait is expected to start trial production today."

"The instant noodles, ham sausages, and Cambrian Laboratory in Hong Kong City are all progressing step by step."

Li Ming asked again: "What about the plan to create an industry benchmark?"

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but laugh and said: "The salesperson has already told the stall owners and shop owners. If someone comes to sell noodles, ask them to send 20 noodles first, so that customers can compare and evaluate."

"We helped spread the word. The shopkeepers and stall owners are very smart. If you don't give away 20, you have to give away at least 10 to convince them."

"The current cost of flour cakes is not the same as last winter. If the repurchase rate of those store owners is very low, they will suffer losses."

Li Ming said grandly: "In order to expand the market, Xingchen Company gave the store a gift of noodles in the name of Mars Trading."

"As a leader in the instant noodle industry, it is appropriate for other market participants to also engage in such activities that benefit store owners."

Lou Xiao'e chuckled and said, "Also, Huang Fuyi has arranged for people to go to Chenji Noodle Factory to spread the word about the wages and benefits of our instant noodle factory."

Li Ming euphemistically said: "As a model in the industry, we should provide moral support to employees of other backward companies when they strive for remuneration."

Lou Xiao'e laughed and said: "At first, I felt that what we did was a bit unfair."

"Listening to what you said, I think we did the right thing."

Li Ming said confidently: "We are fighting for the interests of businesses and the welfare of employees. How can we not be righteous? This is a very right thing to do!"

Xingchen Company had no way to reduce wage costs, so he changed his mind and tried to increase the costs of competitors and drag them down.

In this way, even if the other party does not follow up and raise wages, it can seriously damage the morale of the other party's employees.

Morale is a very empty thing, but the effect is very real.

Moreover, given the current state of the port city, if there is no increase in wages, it will probably ignite the anger of the employees, and it is not impossible to unite to stop work.

Li Ming's 'plan to create industry benchmarks' can also be said to be a 'troublemaking plan'.

dong dong dong, dong dong dong.

"Please come in."

Consultant Huang Fuyi rushed to the office first, "Hello, Director Li, hello, Chairman."

These managers have a tacit understanding. If there is no urgent matter, they will arrive at the company later and arrive before the meeting.

Before these people arrived, the three people on the board had time to discuss things and make some decisions.

Li Ming smiled and said: "Consultant Huang, you are also sweating profusely today. Please sit down and blow on the air conditioner for a while." (End of Chapter)
