Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 144 Package
This package should be the foreign magazines and other things that Yang Zhenyu applied for from his superiors before the New Year.

As scientific and technological workers, we must always keep abreast of foreign advanced technologies, collect some relevant information appropriately, and then choose the direction to tackle.

Yu Caiying was very curious about this package, but she didn't dare to ask casually because many things on Yang Zhenyu's side needed to be kept confidential.

After opening the package, Yang Zhenyu checked it.

These are all world-famous magazines from last year. It is not easy to get them, especially the untranslated versions.

Of course, these are just reprints.

Looking at these magazines, Yang Zhenyu was very satisfied. They were enough for him to read for a while.

Although many papers published last year seem to be very successful and have great research value, many of them are just empty talk and have not been implemented even after decades.

"Engineer Yang, Secretary Xiang asked me to inform you that there will be a meeting in the small conference room at 9:30."

"I understand." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

After the secretary left, Yang Zhenyu frowned.

In the past, any meetings were notified by Director Yang.

As a result, today's meeting was actually notified to the secretary, which is a bit abnormal.

"Why is Xiao Hu here today?" Yu Caiying couldn't help but say.

"I don't know. Just keep an eye on the time and call me when you're almost there." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Okay." Yu Caiying nodded.

Around half past nine, Yang Zhenyu arrived at the meeting room.

At this time, no one had come to the conference room yet, so he simply found a seat and sat down.

Today's incident is a bit strange. If things go wrong, there may be some changes in the factory's leadership just after the new year.

The new secretary has come in, but there hasn't been any obvious action yet, which is not normal.

Yang Zhenyu did not want to take part in the struggles in the factory. He only wanted to do well in technology. If these factory leaders really gave him trouble, he would not mind changing the environment. There was no shortage of places to go anyway.

For Yang Zhenyu, working anywhere means contributing to the motherland.

With his current status as a Level 5 engineer and cadre, no matter where he goes, the allocated accommodation will have no problem accommodating his entire family, and he will also help with the work of his family members.

After a while, several factory leaders came over.

However, Director Yang and his colleagues all looked unhappy. "I convened this meeting today. This is also the first work meeting of our team in the new year. I hope we can make some breakthroughs this year." Secretary Xiang said slowly.

"Let me go first. I've also looked at the situation over the past two years. We've all been centered around the engineering department. This is a good thing, but it has also affected the production tasks of other workshops..."

Listening to Secretary Xiang talking there, Yang Zhenyu and a few others just drank tea there silently.

Yang Zhenyu was not very concerned about this. Although he was unhappy, he did not speak directly.

Because Secretary Xiang's behavior was actually more of a slap in the face of Director Yang, Yang Zhenyu also wanted to see how Director Yang would react.

"Secretary Xiang, you have just arrived and it is understandable that you are not familiar with the situation of our factory..."

Director Yang did not tolerate it and directly labeled Secretary Xiang as ignorant. The so-called excusable circumstances were just the attitude towards ignorant people.

"Since the establishment of the third technical section of the Engineering Department, we have developed various projects, not to mention the transformation of old equipment in the factory. First of all, I dare not say that our factory's equipment is very advanced. After all, it is modified from old equipment, but the efficiency is definitely the highest among all the factories in Sijiu City..." Director Yang said slowly.

"I've also looked at the report. Since the establishment of the Engineering Department, our factory has lost a lot of projects. This is a problem of our team itself..." Secretary Xiang avoided the various advantages of the Engineering Department and directly talked about the lost projects.

"I wonder how far our automobile project has progressed?" Director Yang said with a smile.

"Yes, Secretary Xiang, the main task of our factory at this stage is to implement the car project. This is the most important task of our factory now." Deputy Director Li said.

"Let me tell you about the situation on my side. The situation in my follow-up department is not very optimistic. The superior intends to hand over this project to the Mechanical Department. I wonder how the progress is with the secretary." Director Yang said slowly.

After hearing what these two people said, Secretary Xiang's mouth twitched twice. This matter was really difficult to handle.

Originally, Secretary Xiang had planned to use the Engineering Department as an opportunity to break the impasse, but now it seems that these factory directors are unprecedentedly united on this matter.

Even Deputy Director Wang, who did not speak, looked at Secretary Xiang, hoping to get an answer from him.

"I am not very optimistic about the progress here. The superiors attach great importance to this project. So far, they are still discussing the implementation of the car, especially the mass production, which is a key step in whether this project can be transformed from research and development into practical use."

"According to my information, the Beiping Automobile Factory has also conducted experiments, and it was earlier than ours. Now they are debugging the equipment and preparing for mass production. Although their road to mass production is not smooth, their progress is still faster than ours."

Secretary Xiang still had some ideas in mind. He was also seriously trying to find out information and trying to find connections, but this path was not easy.

"At this stage, our main task is to implement the automobile project. It would be best if it could be implemented in our factory. If it cannot be implemented in our factory, we will try our best to get more parts production indicators. With the situation in our factory, there will be no problem with the engine and automobile overall molds. We only need to make simple modifications to the equipment to complete it..." Director Yang said slowly.

“In addition, I think we should apply to our superiors to build a few more workshops and apply for some equipment. Our equipment is not enough.” Deputy Director Wang said.

"I have already reported the equipment issue, and our superiors have agreed to let us add more workshops and transfer equipment, but it may not be easy to achieve in a short period of time. What our superiors meant is that they will allocate materials to us, and our factory will try to solve the rest ourselves." Director Yang nodded.

As for the equipment, Director Yang had already discussed it with Deputy Directors Wang and Li early in the morning, and they indeed needed additional equipment.
