Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 165: Reject the little devils and beg them to come to you (Subscribe)

"Director Liang, it's really hard to see you."

After hearing the translated words, Director Liang couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart. The Japanese guy doesn't know etiquette. There must be a reason why he doesn't want to see you. Do you have to make it clear?

However, Director Liang did not show it on his face. They had just imported a set of cable technology equipment from the Japanese two years ago, and there were plans for more imports in the future.

So we have to fool people even if we have to.

Director Liang said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Matsushita, we just sent off a group of brothers from Eastern Europe, and we are really busy and can't spare the time."

"Director Liang, I know their purpose. My purpose is the same as theirs."

After the translator relayed Panasonic's words, he paused for a moment and then continued, "Please consider that there will be more technical exchanges between our two countries and let us have a satisfactory harvest."

Although the two countries had not yet formally established diplomatic relations at that time, the country had already planned to purchase technology from the Japanese.

Moreover, the cable technology purchased from the year before last is the first set, and more technology will be purchased later.

There is no way. After the Russians withdrew aid, many aspects were only half developed and not established at all.

Taking all factors into consideration, Japan is the most likely country to provide the technology, because the Japanese are blinded by money!

More than a decade later, the Japanese still dared to sell high-precision nine-axis machine tools to the Russians for money, which directly helped the Russians improve their industrial manufacturing level by a large margin.

It is not surprising that some technologies are now opened up to the domestic market for money.

However, they discovered that China, a country with little resources, could produce machine tools that even surpassed theirs. They were extremely puzzled and wanted to buy some to take a look.

"Mr. Matsushita, this is a difficult matter. The CNC machine tools you want to buy have already been bought by other countries. You won't be able to buy them this year at least."

Director Liang spread his hands with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "If you are willing, I can help you arrange for next year. If you sign the letter of intent now, the machine tool order for the middle of next year can be discussed."

Let’s see what other countries say next year. If we can get enough orders from other countries, we will just find an excuse to postpone it.

"Director Liang, we have just started working together."

"We also have cooperation with other countries and have signed export contracts. There is nothing we can do about this. Unless you buy the shares of those countries yourself, we can only produce so many machine tools."

Director Liang had nothing to say but one thing: they were sold out and there was nothing else he could do.

Afterwards, he offered tea with a smile and talked about other things, but he didn't give in.

Mr. Guo's secretary just lowered his head and drank tea. He came here to help Panasonic meet the people from the Foreign Trade Department. Now that they have met, forget about asking him to represent Mr. Guo and force him.

The Ministry of Foreign Trade and the First Ministry of Machine Building may not care, and doing so would make them traitors.

The next step was for Panasonic and Director Liang to compete in endurance. After three hours, Director Liang went to the bathroom twice, but still did not agree.

Panasonic had no choice but to sign an order for next year, agreeing to purchase twenty CNC machine tools.

Under normal circumstances, a $500,000 order would be enough for Director Liang to sign it with a smile, but today he felt that the order had a bad odor.

After signing, the Ministry of First Machine Industry and Huaxia Machine Tool Factory will complain about it.

After seeing off Panasonic, Director Liang called his secretary, handed him the order and said, "Put it away for now, and remind me again at the end of the year."

He was a cadre with level 14 treatment, the same rank as Gao Zhiyuan, so naturally he was assigned a secretary.

"I understand, Director."

dong dong!

At the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory, Zhou Fengnian heard a knock on the door. He put away the R&D and design drawings, and then shouted, "Come in."

After the door was opened, Pan Heng came in and asked, "Leader, Director Qi from Workshop 11 wants to see you. With him is an eighth-level worker from their factory."

"what's up?"

"Director Qi didn't say anything. It might be a private matter and it's not convenient to convey it through me."

"How come private matters come to me? Let him in."

Zhou Fengnian told Pan Heng that this was the assistant assigned to him by the ministry, who was responsible for assisting Zhou Fengnian in his daily work and ensuring his safety when he left the office.

Then Pan Heng brought in a familiar face. Zhou Fengnian took a look and remembered Director Qi.

Their presence is not very strong in the factory leadership team meetings, but recently the tasks of Workshop 11 have been completed well, and the high-precision processing tasks assigned to them can be completed well.

After everyone came in, Zhou Fengnian asked first, "Director Qi, is there anything about production technology? What does the technical department say?"

"No, it's not about production technology. A senior worker wants to transfer an acquaintance from another factory, so."

Director Qi was talking for the last few minutes, but before he finished speaking, Zhou Fengnian knocked on the table and said, "Isn't this ridiculous? You're asking me for a favor?"

Although he had asked for favors from others, they were all his relatives, and Zhou Fengnian had made a considerable contribution.

How much help did he give to the Electric Appliance Factory No. 1? He contributed a lot to the foreign exchange orders for portable audio players in recent years.

Zhou Fengnian said directly: "Director Qi, I don't care about personnel transfers. You can go to Director Gao for this matter. If the senior worker feels aggrieved, then go to Deputy Director Hong."

Director Qi smiled and said, "Director Gao and Deputy Director Hong. Well, Director, I saw that this old master worked hard and had good skills, so I asked for him."

"How hard?"

After Zhou Fengnian asked casually, Director Qi immediately took out a production task list from his arms and put it on the desk.

When Zhou Fengnian picked it up and looked at it, the name Yi Zhonghai on it immediately made him frown. He asked that question unnecessarily.

However, Yi Zhonghai has been working very hard recently. It seems that he has been working at full capacity and exceeding the workload since mid-last year. Last month, he even exceeded the completion rate of high-precision workpiece tasks by 30%.

The yield rate is also good, and it can be seen that they are working very hard.

After reading it, Zhou Fengnian asked, "Didn't they say that senior workers are not allowed to work overtime? How did they come up with such a large workload?"

Director Qi quickly said, "There is no overnight overtime. Other senior workers leave at 4 or 5 o'clock every day after completing their tasks. This Master Yi leaves at 7 or 8 o'clock, so naturally his work time is longer."

This is because the person has completed the task but has not left. He has been working overtime with those who have not completed the task. He did not work overnight, so he is not on the overtime list.

"Is he there? Bring him in so I can ask him."

Zhou Fengnian thought for a while and said, with this amount of work, he would be able to be named a model worker of the factory by the end of the year.

Director Qi soon brought Yi Zhonghai in. The eighth-level worker could hold his head high in front of the factory director and deputy director, but when it came to Zhou Fengnian, Yi Zhonghai smiled apologetically as soon as he entered the door.

As a level 6 engineer or level 8 worker, I can't be proud of my status in the face of such a technical level.

Zhou Fengnian asked, "Master Yi, what is your request?"

"I have a neighbor whose family life is quite difficult. Our factory offers good treatment and high overtime allowances, so I thought about helping her and seeing if I can transfer her to our factory to improve her living conditions," Yi Zhonghai said with an embarrassed smile. He really couldn't be tough in front of this young man.

He mentioned more than one senior worker, and last year when Zhou Fengnian was manufacturing machine tools, he often demonstrated processing skills that were no less than the level of a seventh-level fitter.

Even their proudest achievements were about to be surpassed by Zhou Fengnian. He was also the only leading cadre in the factory who could point at the senior workers and scold them.

When senior workers made mistakes, other factory leaders would talk to them in a friendly manner; only Zhou Fengnian would point his finger at them and yell at them, saying things like "Can you do it or not? If not, get out."

There was no way, they were not even as good as him in this skill. Zhou Fengnian was only a level 7 engineer at that time, and those senior workers were scolded like students and could not say anything back.

"Is that all? Can it make an eighth-level craftsman like you work so hard?"

Zhou Fengnian waved his hand to Director Qi, signaling him to leave, and then asked, "Master Yi, if you have other ideas, you can change them now. With this kind of labor efficiency, it's more than enough to be rated as a model worker by the end of the year.

Furthermore, the factory will not ignore you senior workers, and will consider your medical care and care.”

Yi Zhonghai bowed and said with a smile, "Deputy Director Zhou, I don't need anything else for the time being."

"Okay, since you, a senior engineer, have worked so hard, I can ask the personnel department to ask for you, but I'm not sure whether the steel mill will release you or not."

Zhou Fengnian handed over the production task sheet and continued, "But I have another request after I finish it. I wonder if you, Master Yi, can do it."

"Deputy Director Zhou, go ahead."

"Don't exceed the task by 30%. Just 20% and hold on until the end of the year. Is that ok, Master Yi?"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, Deputy Director Zhou, I'll listen to you."

"Then go back and wait for news."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that he should continue working.

After seeing this, Yi Zhonghai tactfully left Zhou Fengnian's office.

After the others left, Zhou Fengnian continued his research.

------

The manufacturing of the nine-axis five-link machine tool has begun, and the last small part has been perfected by Zhou Fengnian, and he has also tested it several times in the simulation space.

The performance results are all up to standard, and if we strictly follow the R&D drawings, we will definitely be able to manufacture it eventually.

If we want to improve machine tools next time, we have to start with computer numerical control systems and develop integrated circuits.

Zhou Fengnian could do it alone, but there were too many things to do. It would be better to recruit enough people, gradually turn the workshop into a research and development center, and then build a supporting production workshop.

We are starting slowly this year. It is only the end of February now, so we still have a lot of time except for supervising production and providing technical guidance.

Moreover, the technical foundation of the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory is becoming increasingly strong. These people have been following Zhou Fengnian for more than a year and have learned a lot from him.

Zhou Fengnian did not forbid them to learn and ask questions. As long as he went to the technical department, many people would come to ask for advice and Zhou Fengnian would be happy to teach them.

Once these people's technical understanding and other aspects are improved, it will also be a good thing for Zhou Fengnian to develop the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory.

In addition to studying integrated circuits and CNC computers, he is also teaching himself steelmaking skills, hoping to improve his steelmaking skills.

At this point, machine tools have almost reached the ceiling of this era, and the nine-axis five-link machine tools are sufficient to meet the development of all domestic industries.

There was no need to improve it any further, and Zhou Fengnian did not give up. He just devoted some of his energy to do other things.

He also planned to increase the output value of the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory to over 100 million yuan within three years. If the raw materials could not be supplied, it would be like someone pulling his pants hard in the sprint stage of the race and preventing him from sprinting.

It would probably take some time to raise the steelmaking skill to level seven or eight, but it would be a good opportunity for Zhou Fengnian to relax.

He now spends half of his working time in the CNC computer workshop, and the other half brushing up his steelmaking skill level.

I will find some time to write an article about how the semiconductor industry will drive future digitalization and its impact on various industries in China. After writing it, mark the key points and show it to the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building first.

However, semiconductors are still a general area now, with only a few research institutes under the Ministry of Machine Building being involved, and they are not yet a key development project.

Minister Zhang and Deputy Leader Li certainly do not have the right to agree to Zhou Fengnian's development of this. In the end, it still has to be handed over to the leader and let him make the final decision.

Even if they were given autonomy, it would be fine to allow the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory to keep the profits from unplanned machine tool production for their own development.

However, this will not be possible until fiscal changes occur next year.

Zhou Fengnian has been feeling a lot more relaxed recently. He has finished going through all the hardships at the beginning of the year, and can now go back to get off work and come back home as normal.

However, he still cannot avoid going to the front line of production to provide guidance. Zhou Fengnian has to solve all the problems encountered in the manufacturing of the nine-axis five-axis machine tool.

But he doesn't work overtime now.

Although most of the workers in the factory are working overtime, Zhou Fengnian has finished his work and will only be responsible for technological innovation next.

The day before the weekend, when Zhou Fengnian was reading a book and brushing up on his skills, Pan Heng suddenly knocked on the door to report.

Tell him that there is someone outside the factory gate who claims to be from Hongjia Village, Sanshui Commune, looking for him and his name is Zhou Fugui.

When Zhou Fengnian heard it, he knew it was his father, so he asked Pan Heng to bring him in.

"Dad, why are you here? Come in and sit down first."

After welcoming the people in, Zhou Fengnian asked Pan Heng to pour water for them before asking:

"Uncle Changshan, Secretary Wu, Captain Tang, what can I do for you?"

After Zhou Fengnian finished asking, Hong Changshan immediately said, "Fengnian, we don't have anything to do. We just came here with your father and Secretary Wu."

Zhou Fengnian understood as soon as he heard it. It was the commune secretary who wanted to see him about something, but he went to Hongjia Village to find his father and knocked on the door first.

"Secretary Wu, Captain Tang, if you have any questions, just tell me directly. Now workers and farmers are one family, I will do my best to help you."

Zhou Fengnian said politely. After hearing this, Wu Youhai nodded stiffly and said

"Director Zhou, we are here to ask about the establishment of a worker-peasant cooperation in your factory. Our commune has a lot of unplanned things this year, that is..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that your factory gives too little. Director Zhou, can you tell me if you can give us some tickets? If we just give them money, the commune and the villagers might not be happy."

"Just money?"

Zhou Fengnian was startled, then asked, "No industrial vouchers or anything like that? The people you talked to only said they would give you money?"
