The Industrial Kingdom of the Great Age

Chapter 5 Taking a few days off for research

When Lao Luo said that, he obviously didn't believe Zhao Ming anymore.

In fact, not only Lao Luo, except for Zhao Ming himself, almost no one else believed him.After all, in the fixed thinking of all people, inventing and manufacturing machines is the job of scientists and engineers.

How can Zhao Ming, a small employee in a factory, compare with an engineer?
So no one believed that when the people in the polishing workshop heard Zhao Ming's words, they all cast contempt and disdain.

This person is not crazy, is he?Who do you think you are.

Even if the whole world doesn't believe that he can manufacture machines suitable for polishing workshops, Zhao Ming still insists, or he thinks it doesn't matter at first.But now he has decided that it must be manufactured.

Let this machine be your first machine in the world, a stepping stone for top engineers.

"Leader, please believe me, it only costs 100 yuan. After the machine is manufactured, the efficiency of the entire workshop will be increased by ten times or even dozens of times." Zhao Ming analyzed: "This mold needs to go through this process. If this If the link cannot keep up, then you will not be able to complete the task of the manager. But if the machine comes out and the efficiency increases, then you can complete the impossible task of leadership.”

After a pause, Zhao Ming said seductively: "In this way, you are the main contributor to this mission. The manager will definitely promote you."

When Director Bai heard this, his face changed. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved.But he didn't want to improve efficiency, nor did he want to complete any tasks, he just wanted to "promote" as Zhao Ming said.

But Director Bai still hesitated. After all, why should he take out 100 yuan to bet that a small employee will create a machine that has never existed before?
Chen Mei also said sarcastically: "Do you really think that you can be comparable to an engineer with a little achievement? Don't look at yourself. If you can make a machine, you can still use it to work in the factory?"

This sentence made many colleagues feel uncomfortable. Although what Chen Mei said was true, it did not mean that they would accept it.

Aunt Fatty and Uncle Lin saw that Zhao Ming was unwilling to give up, worried that this would annoy Director Bai, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Xiao Zhao, otherwise forget it. The leader is not worried about this week, so what are you worrying about? "

Zhao Ming didn't look at them, looked directly at Director Bai, and said, "Leader, please trust me."

Director Bai frowned, he was extremely hesitant.

Zhao Ming shook his head secretly in his heart, this director Bai is not a person who does big things, it is only 100 yuan, what he gave up is a huge opportunity.

He was very disappointed and had no choice but to say: "I remember that the leader said that he would give me a one-month bonus, so I will apply to use this bonus and my salary as a research grant. Apply in advance, is that okay?"

Director Bai's eyes lit up. It turned out that it could still be like this. He smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you should have said it earlier. I can apply for this for you, and I can come down tomorrow."

Zhao Ming shook his head and said, "Today, I'm about to leave work. I'm going back to draw the blueprints. I may not come back to work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'm going to find a manufacturer to make it completely."

Uncle Lin and the others were shocked. Zhao Ming was serious.

Director Bai also had a sudden feeling in his heart, feeling that he had missed something.Immediately, he returned to normal, a little confused: "It's okay to ask for two days off, but it's just that I'm going to get off work now, I wonder if the manager can ask the finance to bring the money."

Zhao Mingdao: "You try your best to fight for it." I was even more disappointed in my heart. Is this considered a leave of absence?It is not for the efficiency of the workshop.Forget it, I don't plan to work here for a long time, the patent of the machine I made is still my own.

Director Bai gritted his teeth, turned and left.He planned to apply for it. Anyway, Zhao Ming paid for it himself, so even if it was destroyed, he would not be responsible for it.

Chen Mei was still sneering and sarcastic, and did not return to her position. She wanted to see how disappointed Zhao Ming looked.Aunt Fat and Uncle Lin didn't go back either, but they didn't continue to persuade them, they just stayed with them.

Lao Luo and other people in the polishing workshop have returned to their posts. They have a lot of work at the end of the crane, how could they waste time for a frivolous newcomer.

Not long after, Director Bai came back, with a look of excitement on his face, and walked quickly with an envelope in his hand.

Everyone saw his appearance, and they all knew it well.I'm afraid he applied for that funding.

Sure enough, Director Bai said excitedly, "The money application has been approved."

A gleam of joy flashed in Zhao Ming's eyes. With this money, he will be able to start his first work, which will make him his first shot in this world.

When Chen Mei heard this, a trace of anger and jealousy flashed across her face. If she had applied for it, she would definitely not have succeeded, but the higher authorities would pass it to Zhao Ming.This once again made Chen Mei feel jealous.

Aunt Fat and Uncle Lin laughed, happy for Zhao Ming, and said, "Great, with this sum of money..."

"It's useless to have this money. Not everyone can make a machine. Even if you are an engineer, it doesn't mean that you can invent a machine if you invent a machine." Chen Mei's sudden cynicism made Uncle Lin and Aunt Fatty both I was a little annoyed.

Zhao Ming was also a little angry, but more of it was disdain and sneer.If you are ignorant and incompetent, you think that others can't do it either.Doesn't she know that engineers in this world become engineers only because they have made great contributions to industry and have several patents of their own?

These engineers weren't engineers until they invented what they started out with.

I'm afraid it's not that Chen Mei doesn't know this, but that she doesn't believe that Zhao Ming can be as good as an engineer from the beginning to the end, and she doesn't want to believe it.

After a short period of excitement, Director Bai put up his airs and said with a straight face: "Xiao Zhao, I will apply for the money for you. Don't let me down. If you fail, your bonus for this month And wages are gone.”

Zhao Ming also had some disdain for Director Bai in his heart. This guy tried his best to take the credit when he got credit, so he gave him a good face.It's really snobbish to show people face if you don't have credit.

Moreover, Zhao Ming also knew Director Bai's thoughts. He was afraid that if he succeeded, he would have to share the credit. If he failed, he would have to shoulder the responsibility himself.

However, Zhao Ming is confident that there will be no problem, but he is just a little worried that it will be troublesome to find a manufacturing unit.

After taking the money, it was time to get off work. Zhao Ming, Fat Aunt and others greeted each other and left.He could feel that many people were talking about him, but he didn't mind.When the time comes when he takes out the machine to improve efficiency, he will be able to prove himself.

In Auntie Fatty's workshop, many people were waiting to get off work, and they also began to discuss what happened today.

"I heard that Xiao Zhao is going to invent a machine to improve the efficiency of the polishing workshop."

"I've also heard that young people are really aggressive, but that's for engineers."

"He thought that inventing a machine is as simple as he discovered the method of grinding a mold?"

"Actually, I saw him so approachable today, and his attitude was very low. I thought he was not a person with high ambitions. I didn't expect that I was wrong."

"Maybe he really has something?"

"..."

Many people shook their heads, obviously they were extremely unfavorable towards Zhao Ming.

The same scene happened in the polishing workshop.

"Team leader, I heard that the man named Zhao Ming who came today said that he wants to invent a machine that can improve our efficiency. Is it true?"

"Seems to be……"

"Who does he think he is? He really doesn't know the heights of the world. If there is such a machine, it's his turn to invent it?"

"That's right, I heard that he is still a great hero in Uncle Lin's workshop. He discovered a new method that increased their efficiency by more than ten times. I really thought that inventing a machine is the same as his method. It's so simple." ?”

Lao Luo shook his head. Although he didn't believe that Zhao Ming was capable of inventing machines, he didn't want his subordinates to speak ill of his colleagues behind his back, so he stopped talking.

In addition to these two workshops, other workshops, even the molding workshop on the first floor, have also heard about this incident.After all, the factory is so big, it's easy for a story to spread.

But the first reaction of almost everyone is to not believe it, and the second reaction is how is it possible?The third reaction is ha ha.

The manager's office on the second floor.

Xiaoye acted like a baby to his father, and said, "Dad, why did you grant that Zhao Ming 100 yuan of research funding? Aren't you tearing down my sister's platform?"

The manager is a middle-aged man, with a shrewd look in his eyes, he said: "He was given his own bonus and salary, although it was paid in advance. But if he fails, he will bear the consequences himself. If it succeeds, then the right to use this patent will also belong to our factory, and the polishing workshop will definitely be able to keep up with the speed of other workshops, and the completion of this order will have a huge guarantee."

Xiaoye's eyes lit up, and he said, "That is to say, this is the best of both worlds?"

The manager didn't say anything, in fact, it was more than the best of both worlds.If it succeeds, their factory will get huge benefits, even if it fails, they will not lose money, and it will make Zhao Ming feel guilty and do his best for the factory.

There are many ways to do this, the manager didn't say it clearly, but he smiled smugly in his heart.

Taking the money, Zhao Ming returned to his residence.He lived on a floor outside the industrial park, which was his temporary home because he rented it.

Back in the community, before entering the door, Zhao Ming met the person he least wanted to meet—the landlady.

A middle-aged woman with a bloated figure in pajamas, with a unique expression of mourning stars - crying and mourning, came slowly.

Zhao Ming seemed to be blind at this time, so he ignored it and opened the door directly to enter.But Sangmenxing... Uh, the landlady stopped him.

"Zhao Ming, did you come back from your death? Have you brought back my rent for this month?"
