Chapter 131 Zhou's Family Heirloom (Subscription Request)

"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect such a big leader to come to our factory. I'm still a little excited."

Section Chief Liu said with some trembling hands that he almost shouted out in surprise when he saw his leader just now.

"You have some potential, Chief Liu. When we make the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory the strongest in the world, we will be able to meet the leaders, and maybe even go to the Hailouzi."

Zhou Fengnian was also very excited, but he was suppressing his excitement and didn't show it.

I gained a lot today. Not only did I take a photo with my leader, but I also received a book from him.

The leader also heard that Zhou Fengnian only read professional books and had hardly read any miscellaneous books or other books, so he gave him the first volume of the Complete Works of Lu Xun with a message on it.

"Yes, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

Section Chief Liu also looked certain, but then he glanced at the book in Zhou Fengnian's hand and asked tentatively:

"Mr. Zhou, that book."

"Hey, don't even think about it. I'm going to watch it when I get home."

"Then can you lend it to me after you finish reading it? I like reading books too, and you have photos of them."

"Go buy it yourself. I will teach my son how to read it after I finish reading it. In the future, the whole family will have to read the book. This book must be passed down for three generations, and only those with the surname Zhou can touch it."

Zhou Fengnian refused to give in. He said no, and then changed the subject, "Lao Liu, we have something else to do this afternoon, so let's get down to business first. Wait for me, I'll go back to the office to put something away."

You must keep this well. Even if you lose your money, you must not lose this.

"Mr. Zhou, let's discuss this. Hey, let's discuss this."

As soon as Section Chief Liu stretched out his hand, Zhou Fengnian had already left quickly. Liu Hanfei, with his long legs, didn't even have the thought of chasing him, otherwise, the news that the head of the technical department bravely pursued the deputy director would have spread on the first day of work.

The photos would take another two days to be developed, so Zhou Fengnian put the book in the office for safekeeping and took it back in the evening.

Then he went back to find Liu Hanfei, called a few technicians, and began to inspect the workshop.

Every time he goes to a workshop, Zhou Fengnian will look through the production process and then check the parts. He will only move on to the next one if there are no problems.

After arriving at a new workshop, Zhou Fengnian said to Liu Hanfei while walking around: "This newly built workshop still needs a lot of adjustment, and the technical department needs to provide more technical guidance here.
Except that we don’t have a task workshop for the time being, we will give priority to the production of CNC machine tools in the future. If you encounter any difficulties, please come and tell me.”

"Got it, Mr. Zhou."

Liu Hanfei listened and took notes, writing down everything Zhou Fengnian said along the way in a notebook, preparing to put it into practice when he returned.

When facing other leaders, Liu Hanfei could still say a few words, but when facing Zhou Fengnian, he had no choice but to obey orders.

Zhou Fengnian is not only the deputy factory director, but also a level 7 engineer. Except for being younger than him, he is better than him in every other aspect, so he has to listen to him.

"A good year?"

Zhou Fengnian was looking at the processed parts when he suddenly heard someone calling him and looked up.

Seeing Zhou Xiangde wiping his sweat, Zhou Fengnian put down the parts and walked forward: "Father-in-law, you are in this workshop. I was too busy this morning and didn't think of it."

Liu Hanfei followed and asked curiously, "Mr. Zhou, who is this?"

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile: "Let me introduce you. This is my father-in-law, who was transferred from the steel rolling mill and is also an experienced fitter. This is Liu Hanfei, the head of the technical department, who may often guide the machine tool technology of this workshop in the future.

I'm sorry, father-in-law. I wanted to look for you this morning, but I was too busy to remember. "

Zhou Xiangde rubbed his hands and smiled after hearing this: "It's okay, you go ahead and do your thing, I don't have anything to do either."

"Father-in-law, you smoke this, I don't smoke much"

Zhou Fengnian took out a pack of unopened cigarettes. He forgot how much it cost, probably a little over one yuan a pack.

"I have something else to do, father-in-law. Come visit me when you have time."

After saying hello, Zhou Fengnian continued to inspect the workshop.

As soon as the people left, other workers couldn't help asking, "Lao Zhou, the deputy director is your son-in-law? That's great, you hid it so well!"

Two days before work started, the factory organized a general staff meeting. All the leaders went on stage to speak, including Zhou Fengnian.

When other workers in the workshop saw Zhou Xiangde greeting the deputy factory director, they were all shocked. They didn't expect that Zhou, who usually worked honestly and was a bit of a boaster, really didn't brag this time.

"Old Zhou, go take a break and smoke some cigarettes."

"Yes, Lao Zhou, let's go and take a rest together."

As soon as Zhou Xiangde saw these people, he knew that they were greedy for the cigarettes his son-in-law had just given him. However, they were all old friends, so he took out the cigarettes and said,

"Let's go, take a break and have a cigarette."

After seeing the packaging, a worker was surprised and said, "Wow, Great China? This is a good cigarette, it seems to be more than one yuan a pack."

Moreover, most people don’t have this kind of cigarette coupons, so they can’t buy it even if they want to.

"Walk."

Zhou Xiangde greeted him and said that after working for a whole morning, it would be okay to have a cigarette and take a break.

"Old Yi, are you going?"

"Forget it, I still have a mission to complete. You guys go ahead."

Yi Zhonghai refused, then took a sip of water and continued working; however, when he heard that Zhou Xiangde's son-in-law was now the deputy factory director, the desolate thought in his heart came up again.

Many workers will leave their workstations to smoke, and the workshop director will not care if he sees this. As long as the task is completed, he will let them help light the fire.

Zhou Xiangde is the type who just works hard when he gets a job. He doesn't make much noise at ordinary times, but he can definitely complete the task.

Even if Zhou Fengnian was not there, when the workshop director saw this group of people smoking, he would only remind them to smoke in hiding and not be discovered by their leaders.

Now that he knew Zhou Fengnian was Zhou Xiangde's son-in-law, he would be even less concerned and even said hello to Zhou Xiangde when he went out.

While smoking, Zhou Xiangde's old friends asked him about his son-in-law.

However, Zhou Xiangde was warned many times by his daughter not to say anything about Zhou Fengnian and just say that Zhou Fengnian was his son-in-law.

If it was to help run errands, that was even more impossible. When Zhou Xiangde heard the sign of doing something, his head shook like a rattle.

As for other people saying that his son-in-law looked down on him, Zhou Xiangde was too lazy to argue. He himself knew best whether it was good or not.

Every time she visited, she brought a lot of gifts, and her daughter also gave the family five dollars every month. Zhou Xiangde had no need to show off this kind of thing, otherwise they would accuse him of eating his daughter.

"Greater China is still the best, Lao Zhou, have another one."

When Zhou Xiangde heard this, his face turned green with distress. He then changed the subject and said, "Stop smoking. The director must be angry because you've been out for so long. Go back to work."

"Lao Zhou, are you worried about the cigarettes? This is just one cigarette, and other people always smoke three or four."

"Nonsense, I haven't finished my task for today yet, I have to go back to work."

Zhou Xiangde said stubbornly, then waved his hand and walked towards the workshop.

A pack of cigarettes costs more than one yuan, and one cigarette costs 67 cents. Two cigarettes are almost equal to a pound of corn flour. He just spent almost four pounds of corn flour.

It hurts!
I will change to Economy brand cigarettes tomorrow. I won’t feel bad about smoking these.

——————For the entire afternoon, in addition to the necessary maintenance tasks and technical guidance, the entire technical department was learning the technology of the new machine tool from Zhou Fengnian.

The section chief Liu Hanfei is even more energetic, and he also acts as Zhou Fengnian's good guy.

Liu Hanfei would scold anyone who didn't want to stay in the field of science and technology.

He also wanted Leader Zhou to give him a book, so he worked hard to achieve success at the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory.

There are only a few individuals who are not motivated. Most people are very focused on their studies. After all, such an opportunity only comes once every few years. Which level 7 engineer has nothing better to do than to teach new technologies in such detail?
However, when it was time to get off work, Zhou Fengnian reacted faster than others. He looked at his watch and announced with a smile:

". Let's stop here for today. It's time to get off work. I'm sure some of you will miss home. When you go back, you should thoroughly understand what I said today.

The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, we will start developing machine tools, we can’t always be as relaxed as today.”

After hearing Gao Zhou Fengnian's words, everyone felt sad. They were listening with great interest but suddenly the conversation was interrupted.

"Mr. Zhou, can you talk for a while?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, we don't miss home, so it's okay even if we go back at six or seven."

"Yes, I support talking for a while longer."

Seeing everyone saying this, Zhou Fengnian quickly said, "Tomorrow, comrades. My baby is about to be born, so I have to go back and take care of it."

After listening to him, the others smiled and gave Zhou Fengnian their blessings, and did not ask him to continue.

Pack up your things and go home.

Deputy factory director Zhou Fengnian is not very busy. His responsibilities are simple, namely technological innovation and production guidance.

Next, we will teach the five-axis linkage technology for two days, and then let the technical department participate in the research and development of machine tools.

We also need to take time to improve the "old" models of machine tools produced in the factory, otherwise the machine tools produced will also be technologically backward. In the future, Huaxia Machine Tool Factory will only produce high-end machine tools.

Not long after Zhou Fengnian returned, Zhou Yan also came back with Bai Yujie.

Today Zhou Yan has completed her maternity leave. On the 20th of this month, Zhou Yan can rest at home.

After hearing this, Zhou Fengnian went out to look for his second sister-in-law after settling Zhou Yan.

He had the idea of ​​asking his second sister-in-law for help a long time ago, but he had never discussed the matter with her.

The two houses are not far from each other, just a few hundred meters away.

dong dong!

After knocking on the door, Zhou Fengnian shouted, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, I am Fengnian."

After the door opened, Zhou Jiaan welcomed Zhou Fengnian in and asked, "Third brother, what's the matter?"

"I guess so. I have something to discuss with my second sister-in-law."

After Zhou Fengnian entered the house, he gave his nephew a piece of candy, then sat down and said, "Zhou Yan took maternity leave on the 20th, but I had to go to work at that time, and I was worried that Zhou Yan would not be able to take care of herself if she stayed at home alone.

So I would like to ask my second sister-in-law to come over and help me, and take care of my two nephews at my place during the day."

After hearing this, Zhang Fangfang, the second sister-in-law, immediately said, "What's the big deal, Third Brother? I will definitely be there when the time comes. Do I need to make breakfast?"

"No need for breakfast. I'll have breakfast at home before going out. You can wait until my second brother goes to work before going out. Just take care of me for two months and then I'll have dinner with you."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he took out fifteen yuan from his pocket and said, "Second sister-in-law, this is for my nephew. Please help him save it up."

Second sister-in-law Zhang Fangfang quickly said: "Third brother, what are you doing? You don't need to pay for a small favor."

"It's not for you, it's for my nephew. You should keep it for him first. Otherwise, when my nephew grows up, I, as his uncle, will have to give it to him."

Zhou Fengnian stuffed the money into his nephew's pocket, stood up and was about to leave: "That's it, thank you, second sister-in-law, Zhou Yan will take a leave on the 20th."

After saying that, he pushed the door and left.

Zhang Fangfang immediately took the money from the ignorant Zhou Xianrui's pocket, and then blamed Zhou Jiaan, "You didn't say a word, we can't take this money."

"I can't change what the third brother has decided. If I force him to change it, I will end up arguing with him."

When Zhou Jiaan was a child, he had a quarrel with Zhou Fengnian and even told his father about it. In the end, his father beat him up because the third son was a scholar.

"Besides, it's normal for you to accept it. The eldest brother's family has already accepted it. If they don't accept the third brother's, then the eldest brother's family will think that the third brother gave too much."

He thought that giving five or six yuan would be enough, but Zhou Fengnian gave him fourteen yuan at once.

Zhang Fangfang asked, "How about returning it to the third son's wife some other day?"

"Forget it. How could the Third Brother's wife not know about this? Just keep it and return it when you have the chance."

However, Zhou Jiaan knew in his heart that it might not be easy to repay the third brother's kindness in the future.

The third child is now achieving more and more success, and they can no longer keep up.

Zhou Jiaan knew very well that the reason he could become a team leader in the factory was because he was Zhou Fengnian's second brother and was taken care of by Deputy Director Bai.

There will be a chance to become a workshop director in the future.

This is all thanks to my third brother Zhou Fengnian.

------

A new day started. After Zhou Fengnian arrived at the machine tool factory, he continued to engage in production inspections, technical guidance and other work.

His position as deputy factory director was almost just a figurehead. He rarely sat in the office. He was either in the front-line workshop or in the technical department.

After explaining machine tool technology again for the whole morning, Zhou Fengnian did not waste time this time. He let the people in the technical department go home to eat as soon as it was time for lunch.

".That's all for this morning. Let's go eat first and continue in the afternoon."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, the people in the technical department slowly left, but Liu Hanfei was stopped by the call.

"Chief Liu, please give me a copy of the main machine tool data that our factory is currently producing."

"They are all in my office, waiting for Mr. Zhou."

After Liu Hanfei finished speaking, he went to the office, took the machine tool information and handed it to Zhou Fengnian; but he asked curiously

"Mr. Zhou, what do you want these materials for?"

".See if there is any possibility of improvement. If we are going to do it, we should do it to the best of our ability."

Zhou Fengnian randomly picked up the information of a machine tool that was in production and started to read it. Combining it with decades of mechanical experience in later generations, Zhou Fengnian came up with a way to improve the machine tool after reading it for a while.

The machine tools from the 1950s still had many problems. Optimization and improvement in many areas could greatly improve performance and precision.

Moreover, Zhou Fengnian not only has decades of memories of his original body, but his mechanical design ability is also at the highest level, just a little away from level nine.

"I'll take these things and see if there's any possibility of improvement or optimization. If they can be improved or optimized, then the performance of the machine tools we're currently producing can be improved.
Just consider it as my personal interest, and it won’t interfere with my technical guidance.”

After listening to this, Liu Hanfei nodded subconsciously, and then quickly said: "Mr. Zhou, of course you can take it away. These should have been given to you."

After saying this, Liu Hanfei thought to himself that Zhou Fengnian was the chief technical engineer of the machine tool factory. All the technicians who entered this factory had to listen to him, and he had no room for rebuttal.
