Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 146 Struggle
"This is a good thing. Our factory has organized this before, but it didn't produce very good results. The workers didn't seem to be very interested in this form." Tin Kai Man said with a wry smile.

"Well, I've learned about these things. The previous situation was indeed a bit unsatisfactory." Yang Zhenyu nodded and said.

"How about this, I'll think about it in the next two days and see if I can come up with something new." Yang Zhenyu said while tapping the table with his fingers and thinking carefully.

"That's great. I will tell my comrades the good news when I get back and ask them to get prepared." Tin Kai Man said excitedly.

"Okay, the art troupe also needs to get started as soon as possible. Our factory is now a large factory with 20,000 people, and the work of the art troupe is very important." Yang Zhenyu said.

After chatting with Tin Kai Man for a while, Yuk Choi Ying came back and Tin Kai Man took the opportunity to leave.

The idea of ​​organizing the party was something Yang Zhenyu came up with on the spur of the moment. After all, he had not expected that Tin Qi-man would come to join him.

Originally, Yang Zhenyu was thinking of writing down those red songs that left the deepest impression on his memory, then finding someone to help compose the music, and directly submitting them to newspapers for publication. Now that he has the Propaganda Department to use, it will be much simpler.

"Engineer Yang, everything has been arranged. The engineering department will hold a meeting at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The factory office has also sorted out the information. Our factory has gaps in equipment of various types. According to the factory office, the gap in rolling mills is the largest." Yu Caiying said as she put a report on Yang Zhenyu's desk.

"I understand. I'll study it later." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

This is also the norm. All enterprises across the country are doing this now, producing and building the motherland under difficult conditions of lack of equipment.

As the leader of the factory, Yang Zhenyu was naturally noticed by people, after all, there were a lot of people coming and going every day.

When Tin Kai Man left, someone saw him, and then the news was passed on to Secretary Xiang and Director Yang.

As for how these two would react, Yang Zhenyu didn't know, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Although Yang Zhenyu did not want to fight for power, others had put a knife to his neck. If he did not move, he would be too cowardly and would be easily looked down upon by others.

Tin Kai Man's arrival was just in time, saving Yang Zhenyu from the trouble of recruiting more people and causing trouble for Secretary Xiang.

Theoretically speaking, the Propaganda Department is under the charge of the Secretary, after all, it is the responsibility of the Propaganda Department.

However, that is only in theory after all. There is still a lot of room for improvement in actual operation.

Just like now, Tin Qiwen has joined Yang Zhenyu, so the work of the Propaganda Department in the future must be reported to Yang Zhenyu, and further work arrangements also require guidance from Yang Zhenyu.

As for the many important documents that need to be signed, you can just find Director Yang, after all, the director is also the deputy secretary.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone in the Engineering Department gathered in the large conference room.

"Our factory has had a great demand for equipment recently, but our superiors are unable to allocate the equipment in time to fill the gap. So the factory wants our engineering department to try to manufacture some on our own to see if we can fill the gap. Do you have any ideas about this?" Yang Zhenyu said.

"Engineer Yang, I have been exposed to machinery when I was in school, but I am not capable enough to design it myself, especially since the equipment we used in school was old-fashioned. Although it can be used in our factory, I am afraid it cannot keep up with our production speed."

"The machine tool industry is really difficult. It takes a long time to research each model of machine tool, and we don't have enough time." "Why are you so discouraged? Although we don't have experience in designing machine tools independently, we can learn. If we don't even learn this, then wouldn't it be a waste of our time to study?"

"That's right. With so many of us, even if we can't design it ourselves, we should be able to copy it. At worst, we can just copy some to meet the factory's production tasks."

If someone is pessimistic, there will be someone supporting it.

There aren't many people in the engineering department, but there's a lot of energy and everyone is looking forward to the future.

"Fuck, the worst that can happen is a waste of time. I don't believe that with so many of us, we can't build a machine tool."

Those who were pessimistic were stimulated and their blood boiled. They gritted their teeth and wanted to do something big.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet." Seeing that the quarrel had almost died down, Yang Zhenyu raised his hand to stop everyone.

"I have a design drawing of a CNC machine tool here. Each group can take it back and have a look at it later." Yang Zhenyu placed a whole box of drawings on the table.

“CNC machine tools?”

These people were stunned instantly. Although they had graduated, they knew nothing about CNC machine tools.

"CNC machine tools are currently the most advanced production equipment in the world. This concept was first proposed by the United States, but there are very few of them in the world. So far, there is only one finished machine in our country, which is currently in the research institute. This CNC machine tool was made by our factory." Yang Zhenyu explained.

Shocked! These people were shocked. They had not expected that this unknown steel mill had such advanced equipment production capabilities.

"Don't doubt it. These were all accomplished by me and the previous technicians. It was also for this reason that those talents were collectively transferred away from the steel rolling mill. In the next month, each group studied the corresponding drawings thoroughly, and then we began to try to make the first machine tool." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Okay, today's meeting ends here. You should go back and study these drawings and materials carefully. Also, don't neglect the work at hand. Don't neglect the existing mechanical equipment in the factory that needs repair and maintenance." Yang Zhenyu said.

Yang Zhenyu distributed the drawings that had been divided in advance to each group and asked them to go back and study them slowly.

Previously, Yang Zhenyu also inquired about the situation of CNC machine tools. The mass production plan was not going smoothly. Some materials could not be supplied unlimitedly, and molds were difficult to make. Therefore, no actual mass production attempts have been made until now.

The most important thing is that the core of CNC machine tools, integrated circuits and other things, are not easy to make.

"What a fucking headache." Yang Zhenyu rubbed his temples helplessly.

Although he had already expected that there would be disputes, he just didn't expect it to come so soon.

He could treat all the trivial matters in the courtyard as fun. After all, with his status, no one in the courtyard was willing to offend him.
