Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 140: New Year's Mission, Pig Factory Manager (Subscription Request)
After finishing his meal, Deputy Leader Li walked around the factory with Zhou Fengnian for a while.

However, after Zhou Fengnian brought Deputy Leader Li to an open space inside the factory, he began to make wild hints.

On the left, it seems that we still lack an integrated circuit CNC factory. On the right, if we can have a workshop for manufacturing systems, production will be faster.
Deputy Leader Li was at a loss for words, and the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory had indeed made some achievements.

Not only has it developed more advanced machine tool technology, but it has also increased its monthly output value to over three million.

To put it bluntly, excluding some military factories that cannot be made public, this is already the number one in the country.

Finally, Deputy Leader Li assured that the equipment and personnel would be in place before National Day. Zhou Fengnian stopped his crazy hints and talked to Deputy Leader Li about other things with a smile.

The equipment is easy, we can definitely get it with the whole country's efforts, but the personnel are really scarce.

Such top students are treasures everywhere, not to mention the First Ministry of Machine Building. All major research institutes and universities will retain them, and they will not necessarily give face to the First Ministry of Machine Building.

The only thing we can do is to snatch people away. If we can't get them, we'll go to the leaders. Anyway, their Ministry of Machine Building has made achievements and has the most advanced five-axis machine tools in the world. It's not too much to assign a few people to them based on these achievements.

After returning to the office, Zhou Fengnian talked to Deputy Leader Li about future development plans.

In the future, Huaxia Machine Tool Factory will gradually focus on CNC machine tools. After all, this represents the future. Ordinary machine tool production lines may be completely eliminated by mid-next year.

The reason why there is no one-size-fits-all approach is that most parts of the country still need these machine tools to develop. After all, it is impossible to use CNC machine tools in every place.

However, by then Zhou Fengnian can provide his optimized and improved machine tool solutions to other machine tool manufacturers.

"Comrade Fengnian, you are really good. I think you can't stay in the machine tool factory for a few more years. Once the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory is on the right track, I think you can be transferred to the First Ministry of Machine Building to lead its development."

Deputy Leader Li was full of praise and ignored Zhou Fengnian's age. In the past two years, Zhou Fengnian has given him many surprises.

Not only does he have outstanding R&D capabilities, but he also has a good vision for development. Deputy Leader Li always feels that it is a bit of a waste of talent to just place him in one factory.

"Haha, boss, I've become a deputy factory director at such a young age. Even if you want me to be promoted next time, I don't want to be promoted."

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said, "I am only suitable for researching and developing things. If I am kept away from the front line, it would be like suffering. So it is good to stay in the factory."

He knew what his strengths were, and directing strategic development was totally unsuitable for him.

"Like the car model we saw before? Fengnian, do you know anything about cars?"

"I'm quite interested in it, so I drew a few outlines, but I didn't study the engine and other parts. I might study them privately when I have time."

"Then I'm looking forward to it. Haha, you know what, the car you drew looks pretty good."

Deputy Leader Li said with a smile that he no longer regarded Zhou Fengnian as just a mechanical design engineer.

Weren’t all those things at the Electrical Appliance Factory No. 1 researched by Zhou Fengnian? It was fortunate that Zhou Fengnian didn’t go to the Electrical Appliance Factory No. 1, otherwise their Ministry of Machine Building would have suffered a huge loss.

After seeing Deputy Leader Li off, Zhou Fengnian went to the technical department again.

Arrange the production technical guidance tasks, the next production focus will be changed.

It was almost time to get off work, and there were no more tedious research and development tasks recently, so most people returned to the technical department.

Zhou Fengnian was thinking while waiting for people. After everyone from the technical department came back, he wrote a few tasks on the blackboard.

"Everyone, please pay attention. I will assign tasks. As you all know, we have successfully developed and manufactured a five-axis heavy-duty machine tool. We will definitely focus on manufacturing this type of machine tool in the future."

Zhou Fengnian tapped the blackboard twice, asking everyone to look at him, and continued
"Section Chief Liu is in charge of this matter. The target for next month is four units, but by August the target will be raised to six units, and by September the target will be raised to eight units."

Everyone else, including Liu Hanfei, swallowed their saliva.

This goal really made them sweat. They all stood up and thought about how difficult it was to manufacture this five-axis machine tool.

Suddenly it increased to four, and even more.
"Don't show that expression. The support from the factory is different now than before. I've made it clear that this time there will be human and material support from at least three workshops. If you don't have confidence now, you can report to me!"

After hearing Zhou Fengnian's words, most of the talents in the technical department breathed a sigh of relief; it was good to have someone to help, as they had thought that a workshop would have to bear such a heavy task.

Zhou Fengnian has calculated that with so many people, a maximum of twelve machines can be manufactured each month. The small number ordered in the first few months was to give them time to become proficient.

In addition, there will be vertical five-axis machine tools to be manufactured in the future, and seven-axis and nine-axis machines next year.

Zhou Fengnian will bring out anything that can be expanded and upgraded on the five-axis machine tool.

".In addition to the one in charge of Section Chief Liu, the people in Groups 3 and 4 report to me, and we will also improve the five-axis machine tool in the future."

When others heard about this task, they all cast envious glances at the person chosen by Zhou Fengnian.

They can learn a lot from following Mr. Zhou, which is much more than what they gain from technical guidance.

"That's it for now. We'll patrol the area to provide technical support and mechanical maintenance guidance."

After Zhou Fengnian arranged all the tasks, he said: "Whether our factory can deliver a good result this year depends on how many five-axis heavy-duty machine tools we can produce.

By the way, the factory has been contacting people to buy pork these days. Maybe we will have a dinner in two days, and then each person in the technical department will get two meal coupons."

Other workers can only get two servings of meat and vegetables per card, but the technical staff can get double that.

Although the status is equal and there is no distinction between workers and technicians, distribution according to work is also required. The technical department has made the greatest contribution to the development of the five-axis heavy-duty machine tool this time.

Even if you work in the countryside and get work points, there are high and low points.

"There's a dinner party? That's great, I can finally eat meat again!"

"Two meal coupons. Now my family can have a good meal."

"I'm not married yet, and these two meal coupons are enough for me to eat twice."

"You kid, I really envy you!"

When the people in the technical department heard that there would be a dinner soon and that there were two meal coupons, they all became happy.

The last time we had a dinner was probably a few years ago, when the Second Machine Tool Factory was separated out to build a factory.

At that time, the factory director and the secretary wanted to make a big move and develop the Second Machine Tool Factory into the best machine tool factory in the country. A dinner party was held right after the factory was built.

Everyone in the factory was very happy at the dinner, but after the dinner, the factory director and the secretary began to fight for power.

Before the reorganization and merger, the Second Machine Tool Factory was in a state of chaos.

"Okay, stop arguing. The factory is giving out benefits, so don't make a fuss."

Liu Hanfei shouted loudly, quieting everyone down, then looked at Zhou Fengnian to see if he had anything else to say.

"It's alright, I've finished what I wanted to arrange, now comrades, let's get to work."

Zhou Fengnian said this with a smile and went back to his office.

Next, he will change the horizontal five-axis to a vertical five-axis structure, which requires a quiet place and he does not need to stay in the technical department. After he draws the general structure, he will hand it over to his team members.

Ring ring ring!
Zhou Fengnian picked up the phone and said, "Zhou Fengnian from Huaxia Machine Tool Factory, what's going on?"

"Deputy Director Zhou, this is the main gate of the factory security department. There are three people outside the gate looking for you. One of them claims to be your father Zhou Fugui."

When Zhou Fengnian heard this, he put down his pen and said, "Register them and send them to the factory office building. I'll be down right away." "Okay, Deputy Director Zhou."

After Zhou Fengnian hung up the phone, he walked downstairs.

After waiting in front of the factory building for less than a minute, he saw a member of the security department coming with three people, one of whom was his father Zhou Fugui.

Zhou Fengnian stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work, comrade. This is my father."

"It's okay, Deputy Director Zhou. It's my duty."

After confirming that the person was correct, the security department people went back.

Zhou Fengnian also led the three people upstairs, and asked as he walked, "Dad, who are these two?"

Zhou Fugui said: "Secretary Wu of our Sanshui Commune and Captain Tang of the production team, your factory wants to buy pigs, and it just so happens that our commune."

"Deputy Director Zhou, I'm Wu Youhai and this is Tang Xingfei. I heard that Deputy Director Zhou wanted to buy pigs, so I came to talk to him."

Wu Youhai smiled politely and said that although Zhou Fengnian came from their Sanshui Commune, he was now the deputy factory director and he certainly could not treat him the same way as a commune member.

Zhou Fengnian laughed when he heard this. He had originally planned to ask the commune to directly bring the pigs over and then coordinate with the logistics department when the time came.

However, this commune has some pigs that have not been brought here, and they want to sell them. It seems that they have other ideas.

After arriving at the office, Zhou Fengnian poured three cups of tea, then sat down and asked, "Secretary Wu, was there an accident with the pig?"

"No, nothing unexpected happened. This year, Sanshui Commune did have four pigs that were not planned, weighing about 600 kilograms in total. However, our commune wants to buy a tractor."

Four pigs, this number really surprised Zhou Fengnian. Sanshui Commune is quite good at hiding pigs!

After handing in the task, I can still hide four more, which means I am determined to buy something better.

After hearing this, Zhou Fengnian asked, "Secretary Wu, are you planning to exchange four pigs for a tractor?"

The price difference is too big. Four pigs can only be sold for more than 400 yuan without counting the ticket, while a tractor is around 2,000 to 4,000 yuan.

Secretary Wu quickly explained: "No, we won't use pigs entirely. Our commune has saved some money and we have agreed to replace the tractors. We will definitely not let you suffer any loss."

"I see. But our factory doesn't produce tractors either."

Zhou Fengnian thought about it and realized that there was a tractor factory in Sijiu City, but it was a small agricultural machinery factory. He remembered that it had some relationship with the Second Machinery Factory.

"Wait a minute, I'll call and ask for you."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he picked up the phone and dialed it, and the call was soon transferred to Bai Yujie.

[Fengnian, why did you call me? Do you want me to tell Zhou Yan something?]

"No, Comrade Yujie, I have something to ask you."

Zhou Fengnian quickly told Bai Yujie about the situation on his side. Although Bai Yujie was not in charge of logistics, he did not know the deputy factory director who was in charge of logistics.

As for Li Zhengyang, Zhou Fengnian had an average personal relationship with him and was afraid that the old factory director would take all three pigs away.

"Comrade Yujie, can you help me? We will keep half of the four pigs, and you can arrange the rest."

[Is that so, Fengnian? I'll go ask first and call you back later. ]

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he hung up the phone and said to Wu Youhai and Tang Xingfei, "Wait a moment, Secretary Wu, Captain Tang."

"It's okay, it's okay, Deputy Director Zhou, just keep busy."

Wu Youhai and Tang Xingfei hurriedly said that as long as there is a letter, it will be fine.

While waiting for the call, Zhou Fengnian told his father he had a smoke and then got busy.

Zhou Fugui took out a cigarette and wanted to light it, but when he saw that Wu Youhai and Tang Xingfei didn’t light it, he put it back.

Then Zhou Fugui got up and walked around the office. His son's office was more than ten times better than their commune.

After walking a few steps, he came to Zhou Fengnian and asked, "Fengnian, what are you doing?"

"I'm changing the plan, Dad. It's a factory assignment."

The mission of the ministry was not mentioned, and even if it was mentioned, Zhou's father might not know what the ministry is.

"Oh, then you are busy, things at the factory are more important."

After Zhou Fugui finished speaking, he sat back down and waited obediently for the call.

After a while, Bai Yujie called: [Fengnian, I have already talked to Deputy Director Wang, and also contacted the people at the agricultural machinery factory.

There happens to be an unplanned one, priced at 2700 yuan. Please ask the people from Sanshui Commune to bring the two pigs and the money. 】

"Okay, I'll tell them then. Thank you, Comrade Yujie. Come and have dinner when you have time."

After Zhou Fengnian exchanged a few polite words, he hung up the phone and said to Wu Youhai, "Secretary Wu, the tractor is 2,700 yuan, it's already settled.

When you leave, take this note to the machine tool factory to find logistics, someone will hand it over to you, and you can also go back by car."

After saying that, Zhou Fengnian wrote two notes and stamped them with his own seal.

"Take the two notes and come to the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory and the Second Machinery Factory respectively."

"Okay, okay! Thank you very much, Deputy Director Zhou."

After Wu Youhai took the note, he quickly thanked Zhou Fengnian and said that with this stamped note, everything was settled.

At that time, people from the Second Machinery Factory will drive tractors to Sanshui Commune and then take over the pigs.

As for the Hua Xia Machine Tool Factory, they would also send vehicles to Sanshui Commune to bring the pigs back.

Otherwise, if you push a few pigs into the city, not only will you get into trouble, you may also be arrested by the joint defense team for speculation and profiteering.

After finishing the discussion, Zhou Fengnian asked Zhou Fugui, "Dad, are you staying tonight?"

"No, the family can't be without someone, I have to go back."

Zhou Fugui waved his hand and said, "Next time."

Afterwards, Zhou Fengnian sent Zhou Fugui and the other two to the logistics director's office and then went back.

Next, the logistics director will contact them and send the vehicle back to Sanshui Commune, and then bring the pigs back directly.

When Zhou Fugui and the other two got on the transport team's truck, Wu Youhai said with emotion: "Comrade Fugui, your son is really outstanding!"

"That is, after all, my son!"

Zhou Fugui grinned, a trip into the city made him happy for the whole day.
