Traveling through the 60s, living a life of wealth and prosperity

Chapter 283 Preparation for Production
As time passed quietly, the employees of the red brick factory gradually took their places of work.

Finally, the Red Brick Factory ushered in an important moment of employee training.

On this day, Wang Yuanchao led all the management of the red brick factory to gather in the first production workshop to observe the training process.

Wang Yuanchao led all the management to carefully review the entire process of red brick production.

Wang Yuanchao discovered that the production process of red bricks is indeed relatively simple.

First, the mud diggers dig the mud into the mixer, and then the mud is sent to the brick-making machine through a conveyor belt.

With the help of the brick-making machine, a whole piece of mud is made, and then it is cut into pieces shaped like mud bricks with steel wire.

Afterwards, the mud bricks were caught with a wooden drag and the mud bricks on the wooden drag were neatly stacked on the iron cart.

Each cart can hold eight wooden trolleys of mud bricks. Then, the workers will tow the iron carts to the brick drying yard.
There, they stacked mud bricks neatly in a straight line, one by one, on the field, letting the warm sun dry them.
Only after the mud bricks are completely dried can they be sent into the kiln to be fired into red bricks.

The entire production process of tiles is similar to that of bricks.

The tiles are just placed on a wooden pallet. After being loaded into a truck, they are transported to a special tile-drying room to dry.

Bricks are stacked one at a time on a wooden pallet. After loading a truck, they are directly transported to the drying yard to dry.

The entire production process does not require much technical content, and this work is perfectly suitable for the villagers of the Hongqi Brigade.

Because these villagers have been working in the fields since they were young in the Hongqi Brigade. They have nothing else but strength and endurance.

For the villagers, tasks such as transporting bricks and drying them are child's play.

The most essential part of the entire red brick factory is the cave where bricks are fired.

Based on the experience of the technicians at the Dongfanghong Machinery Factory, Wang Yuanchao required six women working in three shifts to strictly follow the ratio of 1:4 wood chips to 1:4 coal to burn red bricks.

Then, based on the quality of the red bricks, adjustments will be made to the contrast of the fired brick materials.

Red brick factories are a labor-intensive job, and you only need a little strength to get started quickly.

Wang Yuanchao trusted the technicians of the Dongfanghong Machinery Factory and taught all the ordinary workers on site for three days.

Everyone will definitely be able to master the production workflow well and get things done.

So Wang Yuanchao said to He Jianguo:
"Manager He, it seems that the production of the entire red brick production line is going very smoothly.
Everyone got to work quickly.
The three-day training period will be handed over to you.

During this training period, you must mobilize all employees in each production workshop to participate in the production training.
Four days later, which was Saturday, I decided to call all the village committee officials to come.

The launch ceremony of our red brick factory was held on this day.
By then, our red brick factory's three brick-making workshops and one tile-making workshop will officially start production.
All employees in the production department must devote themselves to formal work.

Manager He, you have a heavy workload and great pressure. On the day of the production launch meeting, no problems can occur. Is there any problem?"

Even though He Jianguo had a big heart, he felt the tremendous pressure at this moment. After taking a breath, He Jianguo resolutely said loudly:
"Please rest assured, Director. There is no problem with the production department. We will ensure that the task is completed."

Wang Yuanchao looked at He Jianguo with satisfaction. He was indeed his right-hand man. He just hoped that he wouldn't fail at the critical moment.

“Okay, Manager He, I’m confident that you can handle the situation. I’ll leave the site to you.

Manager Yu from the Purchasing Department, please go and negotiate with the village committee today. On Saturday, the day of the kick-off meeting, our red brick factory will hold a lunch party at noon to kick off the large-scale production.

Anyway, you have to buy me two live pigs as ingredients for the dinner, is that okay?"

Yu Zhaolin has become smart now. As a local tiger, even if there is a problem that he cannot handle by himself, doesn’t he still have his father and relatives and friends?

So Yu Zhaolin answered loudly without any guilt:

"Please rest assured, Director, the purchasing department will definitely complete the task."

Wang Yuanchao looked at Yu Zhaolin who had made progress, nodded, and continued to make arrangements:

"Director Yang of the canteen, I need you to come up with a menu for the big production dinner as soon as possible to ensure that all the employees of our Red Brick Factory are satisfied with the food on the day of the dinner. Is there any problem?"

"Please rest assured, Director, I will ensure that the task is completed."

After thinking for a while, Wang Yuanchao continued:
"Manager Yu, please remember to purchase the banners, colored flags, and firecrackers needed for the production launch meeting in advance.
Manager Liu from the Publicity Department will be in charge of decorating the Red Brick Factory to create a festive atmosphere one day in advance. Do you two have any questions?"

"Director, please rest assured, there is no problem."

After Wang Yuanchao thought about it, the arrangements for starting production were basically ready, and he finally instructed:

"Manager Chen from the Equipment Department, your department needs to inspect the production machines in a timely manner to ensure that there are no problems with the production machines."

"Got it, Director. Please rest assured that the Equipment Department will complete the task."

After Wang Yuanchao nodded, he led the other management except He Jianguo, Chen Aihua and Wang Hua to the office building.

As they walked, Wang Yuanchao said to Kong Jingshan, the party affairs director:
"Director Kong, your Party Affairs Department is in charge of liaising with the higher authorities during this period.

Have the higher authorities formulated the production tasks for our red brick factory? "

Kong Jingshan and Wang Yuanchao were not from the same faction, and since his uncle was the branch secretary here, he was not afraid of Wang Yuanchao.
After hearing Wang Yuanchao's question, he naturally answered:

"Director, our monthly production targets have been worked out.
We require the production of 180 million red bricks and 22 tiles every month.”

After this period of preparation for the construction of the red brick factory, Wang Yuanchao
Now I have a basic understanding of the situation of the red brick factory.
I didn’t think this production task was that difficult.
However, Wang Yuanchao was very surprised and said with an unpleasant expression:
"Manager Kong, we are just a newly established red brick factory. We have no production experience. How can we complete such a high production task given to us at the beginning?
Didn't you report the actual situation of our red brick factory to the higher authorities clearly? "

Wang Yuanchao's sudden attack caught Kong Jingshan off guard.

After all, after Kong Jingshan came to the Red Brick Factory, he went outside every day.
We don’t know much about what’s going on inside the red brick factory, and we have no idea how much it produces in a month.

Therefore, Kong Jingshan could only explain it in a roundabout way:

"Director, I have already explained the situation of our factory in detail to the higher-ups.

It’s just that the superior department set the production tasks in full accordance with the production capacity of the equipment of the Dongfanghong Machinery Factory, minus normal losses.

This is not my fault at all.”
