Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 183 Ideas
This is the difference between heavy industry and light industry.

Light industrial products are in short supply. For example, there is a huge demand for textiles across the country, but domestic production is limited and imports are prohibited due to external sanctions, so no matter how much we produce, it is not enough.

However, heavy industry is different. There is only a limited gap in heavy industry, and without a plan, we dare not carry out production at will.

"Generally speaking, it is because our factory has developed too rapidly in the past two years, resulting in the number of our intermediate workers being unable to meet the current production tasks of the factory. This has resulted in us being unable to complete the corresponding tasks even though we have a sufficient scale. I think our superiors probably have the same idea." Yang Zhenyu said.

"I agree with this. The factory has developed into what it is today in just three or four years. This is absolutely unique. However, developing too fast has become a burden to us. We really need some time to settle down." Deputy Director Li nodded.

"I think we should continue to implement the incentive plan, otherwise we won't have enough talent," said Deputy Director Wang.

"Well, continue to implement it and speed up the training of middle and senior workers. I don't believe that we have such a large factory but only have so few senior workers. It's really a bit unreasonable. The superiors should give us some time to manage the factory well." Director Yang nodded.

The situation at the steel rolling mill is indeed quite special. It took only two or three years to become what it is today, and the welfare benefits are definitely good in Beijing.

It is also a large factory that people nearby aspire to build, but it is precisely because of its rapid expansion that various problems have arisen, especially the shortage of senior workers, which is very embarrassing.

Although the superiors are willing to add so many new employees at once, it is impossible for them to do so at once because the whole country is short of senior workers.

"Okay, it's enough for us all to know about this. Next, we need to change our thinking and strengthen our foundation, which is the key." Director Yang said.

The basic tone was immediately set: the steel mills now need to hide their shortcomings. They have been too dazzling in recent years and are easily envied.

The factory acted very quickly. After the meeting, the factory office immediately took action and posted a notice in the afternoon.

When it’s time to get off work, the radio station starts broadcasting.

When the workers heard the broadcast, they all went to the bulletin board. Although many of them were illiterate, it did not stop them from going over to listen to others read.

"Old Yi, you can't refuse this time. We have to have a couple of drinks."

"That's right, Master Yi, you can't refuse anymore."

The workers surrounded Yi Zhonghai and shouted, they just wanted Yi Zhonghai to help them with some pointers and improve their skills.

"This..." Yi Zhonghai was very hesitant. It was not that he was stingy, but he had a lot of disciples under him.

Not to mention Chen Huaiyong, who was taught directly by the factory, even the few apprentices arranged by the factory before still had to be taught.

"Don't worry about this or that. It's settled. Let's go and choose a location..."

In the past, Yi Zhonghai was not so popular in the factory. After all, he always stood on Jia Dongxu's side. Since Yang Zhenyu came, his popularity in the factory has improved.

He has good skills and is a very nice and enthusiastic person. He is easy-going with everyone. In particular, he has a nephew who is a cadre, so people are naturally happy to make friends with him.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to be dragged away by his fellow workers.

"Aunt, my uncle is not coming back today. His coworkers took him out for a drink." Yang Zhenyu said to the aunt.

"I got it. I'll go back and cook." The aunt said nonchalantly.

"Sister, sister!" At this time a grown girl ran into the yard and shouted.

"Haitang, what are you yelling for?" Yu Li came out of Yan's house and shouted. "Hey, sister, is my brother-in-law back?" Yu Haitang asked with a smile.

"No, but it will be soon. What's the matter that you come here at this time?" Yu Li asked.

"I've already received the dispatch letter. I'll officially start working in the factory next week, so I came to ask my brother-in-law about the situation, so I don't end up being in the dark." Yu Haitang said.

"Already down?" Yu Li said with eyes wide open.

"Yes, I just got it this afternoon, and here I come," said Yu Haitang.

"That's good. Let's talk about it after your brother-in-law comes back. Come on, let's go into the house first." Yu Li pulled Yu Haitang into the house.

When he saw Yu Haitang, Yang Zhenyu felt that the plot was about to begin.

However, the situation in the compound is completely different now, and I don’t know how the plot will develop next.

"What's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind." Zhou Qianqian came to Yang Zhenyu and said.

"It's nothing. I've read too many newspapers recently and I'm a little worried. But it's okay." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"I've read the newspaper, too, and I always feel it's a mess." Zhou Qianqian shook her head and said.

"Well, don't worry about so many things. Those have little to do with us. We ordinary people just need to live our own lives well." Yang Zhenyu said.

Although she said so, Zhou Qianqian knew that Yang Zhenyu's worry was necessary because their family's situation was different from others.

Other families may not have all kinds of concerns, after all, they are just ordinary people, but the situation in her own family is different. Her husband is a cadre, and he may be implicated at any time.

What's more, there are no good people in this compound. You never know when they might attack you.

"Okay, don't think too much. I'm here, nothing will happen." Yang Zhenyu said to Zhou Qianqian.

"Yeah." Zhou Qianqian nodded.

"Let's go and see our son."

At this time, Jerry Yang was still sleeping. The little guy was quite sleepy and would sleep for a long time every day.

"Look at our son, he's so cute. I just wonder if he'll be annoying when he grows up." Yang Zhenyu said, pointing his finger at Yang Zhiyuan's belly.

"Do you think everyone is like you? Our son is so honest." Zhou Qianqian said with a roll of her eyes.

"Have you heard? Xu Damao got divorced." An aunt said during the meal.

"What? When did it happen?" Yang Zhenyu asked curiously.

"Just two days ago, Xu Damao went to jail for a few days. After he came out, the couple couldn't get along anymore, and then they divorced two days ago. I don't know whether this news is true or false." said an aunt.

"What is Xu Damao planning to do?" Yang Zhenyu said with a frown.
