Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 252: Leadership is difficult, the steel rolling mill needs to set up a new department
Secretary Chen looked at Lao Yang and was speechless for a long time. This partner was able to strategize when dealing with specific tasks, had clear ideas, dared to rush and fight, and was good at everything.

Because of this person who hates evil and hates evil, he has never gotten along well with several other leaders. If he hadn't used the unity team to guide him, I don't know what the trouble would have been.

He is a good man with such a temperament facing the enemy on the battlefield, but now it is a conflict among the people, and this approach will obviously suffer. But despite Lao Yang's change, he has not changed at all.

During the Chinese New Year, go to the old leader to see if he can wake up.

However, it may be frustrating. The leader should not be able to write these things. This is incompatible with the current tone and is really difficult to deal with. I will find an opportunity to persuade him slowly in the future.

"Okay, okay, my factory director Yang, let's talk about this new department..."

...

"Leader, I really have a few things that I want you to respond to."

Zhu Xuefeng rushed to Director Yang's office again. It was the end of the year and Lao Yang was very busy now, especially after Zhu Xuefeng added a few new jobs. He was about to go out, but was stuck in the office.

"Tell me, you kid, well, there's really nothing we can do about you. We owe you. In fact, even if you don't come to me, we still have to invite you."

Knowing that he wouldn't be able to leave for a while, Lao Yang sat down firmly, lit a cigarette, and threw the rest over. Zhu Xuefeng skillfully took out one and lit it, then put most of the remaining cigarettes in the bag. In your pocket.

Lao Yang stretched out his hand and smiled. "Don't go too far, kid, there's still more than half of the bag."

Of course Zhu Xuefeng understood that the leader was joking.

"You just throw it to me. It's inappropriate not to take up this burden."

"Okay, my beautiful Hua Zi has become a burden. Don't you kid, there is something in your words. I don't understand. If you want anything, just tell me."

"Director Yang, it's like this. These two new material motorcycle projects are now in operation in the factory."

Director Yang nodded slightly, signaling to continue.

"After this, you still have to research cars. You really need to find someone. I don't have any experience in this area and I'm not professional. If it gets any more complicated, I won't be able to do it at all. Don't delay your grand plan when the time comes."

Director Yang took a breath. The factory was also considering this matter. Now the factory has released several new products at once, including the heater that was finally worked out. I heard that this boy also worked on it alone. This is indeed a thing.

It can be seen that Zhu Xuefeng is telling the truth. Besides, it is unrealistic to rely on one person to design such a complex product as a car. It doesn't make sense in the first place. It has to be a team anyway. "

This kid is still in school, so it’s not easy to help him figure out these things. Moreover, according to the research institute’s old man Chen, the research on the materials is really impossible without his plan. We have to count on him to continue the research. .

Thinking about my old partner again, it's true that you can't put all the burden on one person. This kid still has a lot of room for improvement in the future. You have to leave some time for him to grow up so that he can play a greater role in the future.

"Go and pour some water yourself, and fill it up for me too."

Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng had no tea, Director Yang pointed to the tea bucket while thinking about it and said something casually.

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng get up to make tea, he didn't wait for him to come back and said directly to his back.

"We have also thought about what you mentioned. If we want to continuously develop new products, our research and development capabilities need to be strengthened. It is not just a simple technical research. We must have our own product design department, which we do not have yet."

The steel rolling mill has no products at all, except for the supply of materials, some simple daily necessities, and the spring steel plates supplied by the branch factory for automobiles.

The simplest daily necessities and simple standard parts are all based on unified drawings. The steel rolling mill does not need to design them by itself. It only needs to turn them into products according to the drawings, and the technical department is responsible for the realization of the products.

The special supporting tasks arranged above do not count. This cannot be planned at all, and it cannot be expanded. Whether it is present or not is not up to the rolling mill.

Otherwise, we would not be so anxious to launch new products, and we would not have our own unique products at all. How can a large factory with [-] people, a key unit of the ministry, be able to meet this current situation.

"Actually, I have discussed it with the secretary several times. This department must have one, and we will also ask our superiors to recruit people. Unfortunately, it will take several years for you to graduate. It is really tiring."

It can be seen that Lao Yang has expectations for himself. After all, although the relationship has not been long, both parties are very happy. There are no conflicts of interest or intrigues, and they are all focused on doing things.

But it will take more than five years for me to graduate. I really can't say whether I can return to the steel rolling mill smoothly. I can't understand the things in the graduation assignment. My senior senior brother briefly introduced it, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

Director Yang briefly stated the factory's vision for the product design department, which was still relatively rough. Zhu Xuefeng could not make any suggestions. After Director Yang finished speaking briefly, the conversation changed and he returned to motorcycle production.

"But now, you designed these products in the steel rolling mill. You have to help us shoulder this burden."

The success or failure of this new motorcycle is directly related to the future status of the steel rolling mill and its future development. Its importance is self-evident.

Zhu Xuefeng expressed his position while making tea.

"Director Yang, don't worry about this. Since I took out the drawings, I will definitely take this matter seriously. You don't have to worry. I'm talking about future research."

Only then did Lao Yang feel at ease. Zhu Xuefeng's statement just now really made him nervous. He thought that this kid had new ideas and his attention was elsewhere.

"That's it? Is there anything else?"

I had some ideas at first, but there were some things that were hard to say, so I hesitated for a while but didn't say anything.

Director Yang saw that Zhu Xuefeng did not make any new requests.

"Well, I have to talk to you about some things, otherwise you will think that our steel rolling mill is stingy and will only take advantage of you. Let's go find the secretary in a while, and it happens that the secretary also wants to talk to you about something."

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng about to get up, Director Yang also got up, took out a box of Huazi from the cabinet, and threw it over.

"I don't have many packets left. I still have to wait until the Chinese New Year holiday. When I get the chance, I can leave you a few packets. Don't refuse."

"I know you don't smoke much, and you're not young anymore. It's common for you to hand over a cigarette when you go out to do an errand. You won't be able to get much for this kind of cigarette, no matter how good you are. Take it."

Zhu Xuefeng was a little embarrassed. He actually had a few at home, but he just didn't have the habit of bringing them. He really forgot to bring them today. The market was bullish at Factory Director Yang, so he could just smoke them casually, so he stopped being polite and just put them in his schoolbag.

"Thank you, director. I will definitely report here often in the future."

Director Yang also joked. "Don't be too diligent. I can't bear to talk about this private thing. Let's go."

Coincidentally, the secretary was also thinking about the product design department in the office, but it was much more detailed than Factory Director Yang's and was divided into several parts.

First, we need to arrange a visit to the automobile factory to understand the industry situation. Secondly, we have selected many schools and plan to visit and understand them before planning the product design department of the steel rolling mill.

The three of them chatted for a long time. Director Yang stood up and stretched.

"Xiao Zhu, just as the secretary said, we will formulate a plan for this matter immediately. We will discuss it before the year, and we will start to implement it after the year. This will also reduce your burden."

"But you should also consider the secretary's suggestion just now. We will leave you a separate office in the technical department, which can be regarded as a temporary workplace for technical guidance outside the factory."

"Although there is no salary for the technical guidance outside the factory, you still have to work for me part-time. Come and help when you have time. This is no problem."

Seeing the smirk on Director Yang's face, he knew that there must be something fishy about this matter, but there must be problems behind the production of motorcycles, and he really needed to help deal with them.

"Two leaders, this is no problem. If there is really a need and the factory makes a request for cooperation, I will go to the department to discuss it myself. I will definitely be on duty at the critical moment."

Director Yang patted Zhu Xuefeng on the shoulder, and Secretary Chen also smiled.

"Good boy, we working class people have our responsibilities. Let's talk about your problem again."

It turns out that the last casting technology incident and the launch of a new project in the steel rolling mill, according to the wishes of the two leaders, had to be rewarded. Now the research institute has decided to give a heavy reward.

But how to reward Zhu Xuefeng is more troublesome. If you are not an employee in the factory, the reward cannot be recorded. The factory and the research institute are still different, with different sources of funds and methods of expenditure. Moreover, the factory has much stricter requirements in this regard, but the two It is not appropriate to give a big prize or not.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't really need the money urgently, so he quickly expressed his position.

"Two leaders, this is really unnecessary. The rewards were so large last time that I couldn't spend them for several years."

No matter how much the reward is, it's just for showing off, and it doesn't have much practical significance. I don't know how much money I still have in the space. Anyway, it will definitely be enough for these years. The tree is big and attracts the wind, so it's good to keep a low profile. Secretary Chen smiled and lit up his cigarette again and looked at Director Yang.

"Lao Yang, this matter will be easy to handle. Didn't Xiao Zhu say that he can't spend it? Do you understand the meaning of this kid's words?"

Director Yang nodded understandingly.

"Don't you understand? I'm not short of money, I'm just short of tickets. This guy is talking right now. It's hard to talk about other tickets. I still have a lot of industrial coupons and various industrial tickets."

Nowadays, many things require industrial coupons, and just having the coupons is not enough. Zhu Xuefeng has basically used up all the industrial coupons that Zhu Xuefeng’s family had.

Buying a bicycle for my little sister and changing the thermos last time required industrial coupons. Industrial coupons are issued with wages. If you are over [-], you will get one. If it is not enough, there will be none. Zhu Xuefeng has been working for three weeks, which is not enough for one industrial coupon.

The industrial coupons in the steel rolling mill are collected based on the total salary. Because of the round-up, I will be a lot richer every month. At the end of each year, I will use part of it to buy some prizes, but over time, I still save a lot. .

There are also industrial coupons for sale on the black market. Zhu Xuefeng didn't want them because he didn't have any need. He wanted them these days, but he didn't have them at home.

I was thinking of bringing some iron pots to my second uncle and my sister-in-law back home, but it turns out that these things require industrial coupons. I really don’t know how farmers buy pots. They definitely don’t have industrial coupons. (Don’t believe it, it’s true, Beijing needs it)
This iron pot rolling factory cannot yet make it. They are all produced by specialized iron pot factories and have some technical content. They are not simply making a mold and pouring it out. There are quite a lot of things to pay attention to when it comes to pig iron and wrought iron.

There wasn't much else he needed. In the end, Zhu Xuefeng only wanted 100 ([-]) industrial coupons and two sewing tickets, but nothing else.

The two leaders were very disappointed. They only took such a small thing. The industrial coupons and sewing tickets were not money. The reward was too light. Last time, they were rewarded two thousand. The gap was too big.

"It's too little. You can't spend these industrial coupons without money. This is just a lot. Don't you have younger brothers and sisters? Lao Yang, let's get two more watch coupons."

Looking at the expressions of the two leaders, Zhu Xuefeng was also secretly moved. These two leaders were really hardworking people and sincere to people. They had no pretensions and had no choice but to accept the watch ticket.

Secretary Chen thought for a while and had another idea.

"You seem to be short of a radio these three times. How about I get you two more radio tickets? I'll get them all at once."

Forget about the tube radio, it would soon be out of date, so Zhu Xuefeng quickly refused to answer it.

"Thank you two leaders for your kindness. I really don't need it. I can make the radio myself. I already have it."

The two leaders looked at me and I looked at you. This news was so unexpected, even more surprising than when Zhu Xuefeng came up with another set of motorcycle blueprints.

"Really, I made it myself. Some units are already trying to produce it. I estimate it may be on the market in a while. It's that big."

After briefly describing the new portable radio, seeing what the two leaders were thinking, he quickly requested it.

"Two leaders, please help me hide this matter. I don't want others to know. Please help me, leaders."

This kid's attention has indeed shifted. This is what the two leaders are most worried about. Now that the new department is still missing, if this kid runs away...

"I said, Xiao Zhu, what did you say in my office just now count? Why are you starting to tinker with the radio again? Do you not want to participate in the subsequent car project?"

Director Yang was a little worried and couldn't help but ask anxiously. Secretary Chen also looked at Zhu Xuefeng quietly, waiting for his answer.

"How could it be? This radio was something I was thinking about before I went to school. I made it when I had the conditions in college. Don't worry, the steel rolling mill will always be my natal family. I am interested in participating in the following matters as long as the leadership needs it. ."

The two leaders were relieved. Now the new product was of great importance. Zhu Xuefeng was the only designer, and subsequent experiments and improvements were inseparable from him.

It is impossible for anyone else to take over in the steel rolling mill. Even if we are looking for professionals, whether they can understand Zhu Xuefeng's design is a question. This is very important and there must be no mistakes.

Secretary Chen glanced at Factory Director Yang, who immediately understood and asked Zhu Xuefeng as kindly as possible if he had any other family difficulties and that the steel rolling mill was willing to help solve them.

Zhu Xuefeng also didn't expect that he didn't want the big radio just now, so he suddenly pouted and told about the radio, but he didn't expect to worry the leader.

"Both leaders, I really don't have any difficulties. My family is doing very well now. Thank you for your kindness. If I really have difficulties, I will definitely ask the organization for help."

The two leaders seemed a little disappointed.

"How about this, boss, lend me the side-wheel motorcycle from the factory for a few days, and I'll go back to my hometown. I won't pay for the gas. Let the two leaders see what they do."

Isn’t this still a problem? The two leaders laughed.

"Going back on a three-wheeler? I remember your hometown is in the Miyun Valley. It's so far away, and you still have to blow yourself to death. You must be going back to worship your ancestors."

Secretary Chen was the first to react.

"Let's do this. The factory has a covered jeep that can block the wind. We'll ask the driver to take you back and then come back with you."

Zhu Xuefeng was overjoyed and had always been embarrassed to speak, so he took this opportunity to give it a try. Unexpectedly, Secretary Chen was so awesome that he unexpectedly provided a jeep.

"Secretary, this will be too much trouble for the driver, comrade. Besides, I can drive and I am familiar with the roads. I will do it myself. I will really cause trouble to you."

Secretary Chen waved his hand and didn't care.

"It's no trouble. This is nothing compared to your contribution to the factory."

Seemingly realizing something, he opened his eyes wide and asked.

"Can you drive a Jeep? Yes, you can. Whether you really know how to drive a Jeep or not, this is not a joke. It is related to life safety."

The secretary's car is a Jeep, but he doesn't use it at all. He always rides to and from get off work.

"How about we go down and give it a try so that you can feel at ease after taking a look."

"That's not necessary. We'll go down together later. It just so happens that we're going to talk about your material research..."

After a long time, a few people left the factory office building and came to the driver's class. There were several Jeeps in the factory. They looked old but were well maintained.

Jeeps were all seized in the past. Nowadays, drivers can be both drivers and mechanics. Their skills must be comprehensive. There are no 4S shops or car rescues outside. If it breaks down on the road, you have to repair it yourself.

...

The beginning of spring is a little early this year. It started about ten days ago. The temperature has risen slightly. It seems that there is little chance of snow again before the year.

The most striking feature of the beginning of spring is that everything begins to show signs of recovery, and the north is no exception. The snowdrifts that were originally expected to melt after the end of the year are getting smaller and smaller.

The grass in the park has occasionally had a hint of green, and the park's skating rink has begun to prohibit people from skating on the ice. Children who are celebrating the New Year have one less place to play.

At this point, park management is still very strict, and the ice rink is basically closed the day before the beginning of spring to avoid accidents.

Elderly people say that the early beginning of spring can make it warmer all year round, but there was a severe drought last year. I really don’t know if the early beginning of spring is good or not.

After eating spring cakes and spring rolls with Uncle Zou and his wife at home, the three brothers and sisters began to do their own things again. There are only a few days left before the countdown to the New Year officially begins.

The spring cakes and spring rolls were both made as intended, but the supplies were not complete, and there was not enough oil for frying.

"Brother Feng, there are two people outside the yard, saying they are here to see you. Go and have a look."

Liu Guangtian ran back from the alley to report the news. Since the last time he took in the two brothers, they have obviously become closer. They often say hello, and now he comes directly to report the news.

"Thank you, Brother Tian, ​​I'll go take a look right now."

Could it be someone coming from his hometown? What could it be? Zhu Xuefeng hurried to the outer courtyard and happened to meet two men entering the courtyard, carrying heavy large sacks on their backs.

Isn't this the militia captain Zhao Benhai? The other one is unknown but looks familiar. He must be from the Zhao Family Fishing Village. What's the matter with this?
He quickly stepped forward and supported Zhao Benhai.
