Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 174 Factory Punishment, Door-to-Door Warning (Subscription Request)
When Zhou Fengnian came back with the cloth coupons, Zhou Weitian had already cut all the side dishes for him.

Zhou Fengnian had a lot of tickets, but he rarely used them. Usually, the couple spent a little more on food, and the rest of the tickets were all saved by Zhou Yan.

Especially cloth coupons, it is possible to save them until the end of the year. Although Zhou Fengnian has clothes like shirts, he mostly wears work clothes.

Zhou Weitian took the cloth coupons and left with a smile. He did not emphasize that he would definitely return them. He just kept it in mind and would buy something for them another day.

The next day.

As soon as Zhou Fengnian arrived at the factory, he saw the penalty notice from last night posted on the notice board.

Sixteen people were arrested in one day. The most serious of them have been decided to be expelled and sent to the public security agency. Their lives are over and their final fate is probably to go to the northwest for more than ten years of labor reform.

In other factories, smuggling parts may not be so serious. If caught, the person will probably be criticized and punished. The person will only be fired if it accumulates more than three times.

But most of the China Machine Tool Factory's matters involve confidentiality, so they will strike hard.

The workshop team leader who was fired and sent to the police was the one who smuggled too many items and even stole confidential parts.

They even formed gangs to commit crimes, so the sentences are so severe, and even workers will not be tolerated.

With the current security strength of the machine tool factory, it is impossible to prevent such things from happening. The daily strict inspections of the workshops that manufacture five-axis machine tools and the computer numerical control workshops have already put the security department under a tight force.

Whether or not to smuggle goods depends entirely on the workers' self-consciousness.

It was only after Zhou Fengnian arrived and was informed by Pan Heng that he learned the details of how things were handled yesterday.

To him, it was just something he listened to casually when he was bored. When he started working, Zhou Fengnian put the matter out of his mind.

The most important thing now is to make the washing machine. Zhou Fengnian couldn’t stand it as he washed clothes for the first time last night.

However, since he had promised to help with the housework, Zhou Fengnian felt embarrassed to just do it for one day and then give up.

Although the fifth sister Zhou Xiaomei can do housework, she has just come to the city, and Zhou Fengnian doesn't want to order his sister around too much.

The right thing to do is to make the washing machine as soon as possible. The principle is not difficult and it is a piece of cake for Zhou Fengnian.

He also plans to embed a processor into the washing machine so that it can easily perform specific functions, similar to the principle of automatic operation of machine tools.

With Zhou Fengnian's current mastery of electromechanical and computer numerical control capabilities, he can almost finish the product before leaving work.

Then he asked Pan Hang to run some errands for him, go to the factory to pay the money and buy the things, and then go to the workshop to start making them.

It is already a great honor to be able to buy these rare parts through the factory's channels. Zhou Fengnian doesn't want to leave himself with any small tail, so paying the money is a must.

You can use private experiments as an excuse, and it also seems noble and not wasting the factory's resources.

When it was time to get off work, the workers in the factory walked out in groups of three or five.

The security department did not conduct random inspections today, but the workers who were going home together quickly passed through the factory gate without stopping at all.

Yesterday, the security department swiftly arrested more than a dozen people, which has already intimidated many hot-tempered workers. Now they dare not conflict with the security department.

There are troublemakers among the workers in the factory, but the prerequisite for being a troublemaker is not to make mistakes yourself. If you are a troublemaker even though you have made a lot of mistakes, the factory leaders will definitely seize the opportunity to deal with you slowly.

A blacksmith must be strong himself. If he is not strong, he can only be rubbed and disciplined by others.

The trio from Compound No. 95 also went back together, but He Yuzhu looked very depressed today.

His name was among the dozen people who were punished, and now he is quite famous in the factory.

"Zhu Zi, are you still unhappy? Forget it, this matter will slowly settle down."

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai advised that He Yuzhu, who was usually the most talkative, had not spoken a word throughout the journey, which was obviously because of what happened yesterday.

"We are not in the steel mill now. What happened in the factory cannot be spread to the yard. Xu Damao is unlikely to laugh at you for this matter."

Yi Zhonghai watched He Yuzhu grow up, and he knew at a glance what He Yuzhu was worried about. After he said this, He Yuzhu felt a little better.

"But you too, I heard that the other two canteen chefs who were arrested with you brought leftovers from the big pot, but you only brought fish and meat. Who else should be punished if not you?

Look at the chef in the cafeteria. He is the only one who didn’t bring anything.”

Three of the four canteen chefs in the factory were arrested, but He Yuzhu was the only one who was punished. It was because the food he brought was not leftovers, so he was not only punished but also fined 30 yuan.

The first time, the factory criticized him and imposed a tenfold penalty for every thief he stole. The second time, he was forced to undergo labor reform within the factory and was imposed a hundredfold penalty for every thief he stole. The third time, he was fired directly.

After hearing the punishment, He Yuzhu was angry and scared. He really lost face, and the punishment was really harsh.

"Uncle, the chef in the canteen is not as skilled as me, so I didn't bring him along because I don't have many opportunities to cook."

He Yuzhu said stubbornly, "Although the factory allows him to cook for himself, the general leaders have to look for me when they eat for themselves, and it would be a waste if I don't bring it."

"Don't be so stubborn. If what you brought were really leftovers, you wouldn't be punished. It's because you sorted them out in advance that the security department caught you!"

Yi Zhonghai directly pointed out that he was watching from the side yesterday, and if someone really brought leftovers, he would at most be criticized on the spot and then let go.

After all, the inspection last night was for smuggled parts, not leftovers; He Yuzhu was only inspected because he brought a box of new dishes and insisted that they were leftovers.

"Who knew it was so strict here, uncle? I think it's worse than a steel mill."

He Yuzhu complained bitterly: "I have never been checked at the steel mill."

Yi Zhonghai pointed at He Yuzhu angrily and said, "You haven't been promoted in the steel mill for five or six years. Now that you come here, the salary and subsidies you get are not enough to cover the leftovers?"

He Yuzhu said quickly: "Don't be angry, uncle, I was just talking casually."

Qin Huairu, who was standing by, advised: "Zhu Zi, don't say that next time. I feel that the machine tool factory is much better than the steel rolling mill. The uncle is kind-hearted."

Qin Huairu is very satisfied now. She works overtime for a few days every month and goes to the CNC machine tool group at night. She can get a subsidy of three or four yuan every month. Together with her original salary, she earns ten yuan more than at the steel mill.

The ten dollars directly made up for their family’s food shortage.

"Okay, you are all right. I was the one who was talking too much."

He Yuzhu stopped talking about this matter, and thought unhappily in his heart that it was a good thing that Xu Damao was not in this factory, otherwise he would definitely ridicule him if he knew about it.

Ministry of Metallurgy, after Deputy Leader Li found time to come here, he went directly to Lu Yixian's office.

After being notified by his assistant, Deputy Leader Li pushed the door open and greeted, "Deputy Leader Lu, long time no see."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Why did you come here suddenly today?"

Deputy Leader Lu asked his assistant to pour the tea, then waved his hand and asked them to leave. When they were the only two left in the office, Deputy Leader Lu continued to ask:

"What can I do for you?" "Hey, don't say that. I'm here to help you. Let's make it clear who owes whom a favor, and don't play tricks on me later."

Deputy Leader Li said quickly, and then took out the top and bottom composite blowing converter technology from his briefcase and continued

"Your son-in-law sought advice from our engineers some time ago, and he later developed two technologies.

The steel rolling unit has been given to your son-in-law, and I came across the steelmaking unit later, so I brought it here for you."

After handing it over, Deputy Leader Li continued, "Take it and try it. According to theoretical speculation, it can significantly increase the current steelmaking capacity."

"That engineer Zhou Fengnian figured it out so quickly. I heard he was very good at mechanical research and development, but I didn't expect he also knew about steelmaking."

Lu Yixian took it and looked at it. This time he understood some of it. He had been exposed to steelmaking for such a long time that he naturally understood it. The previous machine drawing was really difficult to understand as it involved too much.

"Oh, combining the two refining methods solves the mixing problem, and..."

After reading it, Lu Yixian nodded. He felt that there were many feasibility points, but it still depended on the results.

As for how to conduct the experiment, he also heard from Li Huaide that it would be nothing more than testing in the steelmaking plant attached to the rolling mill. If there were no problems, it would be promoted nationwide.

However, the steel mill was the first to benefit, and as the promoter, Li Huaide also benefited.

"Why do you, the deputy leader, have to personally deliver such a small matter? Can't you just ask someone else to make the trip?"

"Hey, Lao Lu, forget it; I know what you are going to say as soon as you open your mouth."

Deputy Leader Li smiled and said: "Technology can help you solve the problem, but don't worry about the person. Zhou Fengnian is the face of our First Machine Industry Department now!"

"Look at you, you are wrongly accusing me. I don't have that kind of thought."

Although he said this, Lu Yixian still complained secretly in his heart, this nose is really sensitive.

"That's fine. Old Zhang really loves Zhou Fengnian now. If anyone wants to poach him, he will rush to their house and scold them."

Deputy Leader Li said with a smile that Zhou Fengnian had almost become the face of the Ministry of First Machine Building, so how could he be let go so easily.

Last year, the total foreign exchange was only over 100 million US dollars, but this year, China Machine Tool Factory won foreign exchange orders worth more than 10 million US dollars.

This is also because of the insufficient production capacity of Huaxia Machine Tool Factory, which screened out some export orders.

If nothing is screened, China Machine Tool Factory will be able to win 20 million US dollars in export orders, which is expected to account for one-seventh or one-sixth of the country's total.

This is just a factory with more than 6,000 employees.

Last time, Minister Zhang proposed to send Zhou Fengnian's name to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but he would still remain in their Ministry of First Machine Building, and Deputy Leader Li immediately agreed.

If the person doesn't leave, the others can be given away at will. So if we dig Zhou Fengnian, we will have to face the wrath of the Ministry of First Machine Building.

The poaching plan was dropped at this point, and Lu Yixian was tactful enough not to mention it again. He originally wanted his son-in-law to build a good relationship with Zhou Fengnian and then give it another try.

I didn't expect that the plan would be seen through before the first step was even completed.

Lu Yixian talked about some other things, and then said with a smile that he would give Zhou Fengnian a thank-you gift before sending Deputy Leader Li away.

However, as soon as the people left, he secretly cursed the old fox in the office.

Soon, the Ministry of First Machine Building arranged for personnel to come to the Hua Xia Machine Tool Factory to learn technology.

Zhou Fengnian had to make these people learn CNC machine tool technology thoroughly so that they could manufacture them themselves after returning.

There are two factories in each batch, and they will be replaced by the next one after ten days of study.

There are complete manufacturing drawings and production lines for you to follow and learn from. If ten days are not enough, you can just give up and not learn.

However, there are also benefits for the China Machine Tool Factory. The expansion of the integrated circuit workshop that Zhou Fengnian has long dreamed of has been approved, and equipment and personnel will be arranged in succession.

It is called a workshop, but it has developed into a research institute, just that the place is a bit small.

However, with Zhou Fengnian around, the most difficult technical challenges can basically be skipped. He can solve them in the simulation space and almost produce semi-finished products, allowing the integrated circuit workshop to continue to develop.

Then the development of the semiconductor industry is now on the starting line, and Zhou Fengnian can even take a detour and overtake.

The first group to come and learn were people from the First Machine Tool Factory and the Shenyang Machine Tool Factory, both of which had strong manufacturing capabilities.

They can also manufacture simple CNC machine tools, but their performance and production efficiency are far behind those of the CNC machine tools of the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory.

However, once they finish learning and bring the technology back, they will probably be able to develop other types of CNC machine tools.

Zhou Fengnian did the same thing as before. After two mornings, he handed the person over to Liu Hanfei.

The technical department is strong enough and does not need to rely on him, the deputy director, to handle everything.

Now that the technical department has a thorough understanding of the machine tools produced in the factory, Zhou Fengnian has gradually reduced his inspections on the production line and started to develop other things.

When Zhou Fengnian was making the washing machine himself, he encountered a problem. He had to make a mold for the outer shell of the washing machine, which was a bit troublesome.

Fortunately, the mold for the washing machine shell is not difficult to make. Zhou Fengnian felt that it would be useful in the future, so he discussed with Gao Zhiyuan to make a mold for the washing machine shell.

In the future, the factory will be able to produce a few washing machines and give them to the workers as rewards during the year-end summary.

The Second Machinery Plant had also built a four-roll reversible rolling mill. Upon hearing this, Li Huaide personally led the transport team to the Second Machinery Plant to bring the rolling mill back.

He followed the entire process of transportation and disassembly, and Li Huaide was not relieved until the assembly was completed and ready to be started.

At this time, the factory director Yang Weimin also came with his people, and his face looked a little bad.

Yang Weimin cursed Li Huaide countless times in private for letting him interfere in production in this way.

Compared with factory development, Yang Weimin values ​​power more. He keeps taking orders and carrying out production to show his ability as a factory director.

Most of the production matters were obtained by him through his personal connections, so Yang Weimin had a lot of prestige in production.

But now Li Huaide has broken the impasse.

"Deputy Director Li, is this the new rolling mill you mentioned?"

Li Huaide looked back and said with a smile, "It's Director Yang. Since you're here, let's take a look at the performance and efficiency of this rolling mill."

"To be honest, although I heard what Engineer Zhou promised, I'm still unsure. If the performance and production efficiency are not as good as what we said at the meeting, then I would be wasting resources and become the sinner of the steel mill."

Li Huaide casually stabbed Yang Weimin, which immediately made the latter's face even uglier.

Soon, the workshop workers brought in the materials and started the rolling mill.
