Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 193 Severe Criticism, New Deputy Factory Director (Subscription Request)
"You two are also veterans of the institute, why are you slamming the table?"

After the secretary came back and heard what had happened, he called Director Yan and Director Huang to his office and told them both what had happened.

"What a bad influence this has on our institute! The Electronics Research Institute is still under construction and we are quarreling right now. How can this be justified?"

Almost everyone in the project team saw what the two did in the morning, including people from not only the Computer Research Institute, but also the Electronics Research Institute.

The secretary also heard someone report this matter to him, so he hurriedly asked for leave and rushed back. He went to report yesterday, and the meeting was supposed to end in the afternoon, but he was afraid of causing a bigger commotion, so he asked for leave and rushed back in the morning.

"Tell me, what happened, Director Yan? I heard that it was you and Director Huang who slammed the table?"

"It's me, but I have my reasons. Director Huang's insistence on his own way has almost brought the project team's research and development work to a halt."

"What do you mean by nearly interrupted? Director Yan, you have to understand that the project team is not established for one person!"

Director Huang immediately interrupted Director Yan anxiously. If he continued to say this, wouldn't his responsibility be too great? How could this be allowed?

"Don't talk yet. Let Director Yan speak."

The secretary scolded, motioning for Director Yan to continue.

Director Yan then continued, "Secretary, my words don't count. You can ask everyone in the project team how important Zhou Fengnian is.

Before he came, our R&D goal was a small-scale integrated computer. But almost at the same time, our project team had just started the project, and Zhou Fengnian brought a dozen people to develop a medium-scale integrated computer.

"The project team jointly established by our two research institutes is to complete the task sent from the northwest. Secretary, you understand this, right?"

The secretary nodded and said, "That's right, but the task has been completed."

"Yes, it was completed. We simply summarized the technology of the medium-scale integrated computer that Zhou Fengnian perfected, and then manufactured it according to the requirements. The task was completed. It took less than half a year."

Director Yan paused for a moment and continued, "After completing the task, Zhou Fengnian felt that computers could be further upgraded to the fourth generation, allowing China to enter the era of personal computers, so I submitted a report to apply for the project team to continue the research."

The secretary nodded and said, "I know that, Director Yan, why are you arguing? And where is Team Leader Zhou?"

"He has gone back to the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory. I called and asked, and the leader of the First Ministry of Machine Building approved it."

The secretary was stunned when he heard this: "Did they approve it? Why? Zhou Fengnian is one of ours."

"This matter is a bit complicated. At the beginning, the First Ministry of Machine Building said that Zhou Fengnian was seconded, but he was not given the file.
But when the Academy of Sciences appointed Zhou Fengnian as a member of the Academic Department, I applied for one, so he is considered a member of two departments.”

Director Yan was not afraid of offending anyone and said directly, "Secretary, I don't know why Director Huang was looking for trouble with Zhou Fengnian. I suspended Zhou Fengnian from work yesterday and asked him to go back and reflect on himself.

Then the First Ministry of Machine Building got the news and directly asked Zhou Fengnian to return to the machine tool factory. I called yesterday and asked, and they said to listen to the leader. "

"We are in a difficult situation now. Group One is developing the photolithography process, which is taught and supervised by Zhou Fengnian, and has achieved some results. Group Two is studying computers, which is almost the same as Group One."

After hearing this, the secretary's face darkened. He turned to look at Director Huang and asked, "Director Huang, tell me why Zhou Fengnian was asked to stop working and reflect on himself. Is there anything he needs to reflect on?"

Director Huang didn't know what to answer for a moment. After holding it in for more than ten seconds, he said with difficulty: "He has a problem with his work attitude."

"Work attitude? What do you mean exactly?"

".I am the first one to go home every day."

After listening to this, Director Yan said, "Secretary, apart from taking leave, the earliest time Zhou Fengnian went home was 8:30."

Hearing this, the secretary looked at Director Huang with an unfriendly look and said, "Is 8:30 still early? This is the earliest time. If it's later, it must be 9 or 10 o'clock. Director Huang, if you don't tell the truth, I can only report it to the organization."

".Secretary, I say."

After Director Huang heard the report to the organization, the courage in his heart disappeared immediately, and he then expressed his idea of ​​having the project team complete the research and development ahead of schedule and successfully present it to the leader as a New Year's gift at the end of the year.

"Secretary, I am doing this for the sake of the organization. Zhou Fengnian has indeed become lax. Compared to the beginning, he has been going home an hour earlier recently."

"enough!"

The secretary slammed the table and interrupted, "Director Huang, I thought you had some brilliant ideas, but this is the result?

The leaders have said that technical matters should be left to the technical staff; we are responsible for organization and coordination, but what are you doing? "

"Do you know how hard it is for Director Yan to get people? Look at what you have done!"

"You're using such a ridiculous reason to stop working? Did you know that our institute's fixed end time is six o'clock? The technicians didn't leave because they were highly conscious and took the initiative to stay and work overtime. Are you still complaining about them leaving early?"

"I won't say any more to you. Just invite the person back, write a self-criticism, and then hand it over to the organization."

After hearing this, Director Huang immediately said anxiously: "Secretary, I..."

"What are you talking about? Invite them back. The progress of the project team cannot be delayed. From now on, technical matters will be handled by technical personnel. You, me, and other non-technical personnel are not allowed to interfere. This is the leader's instruction!"

The secretary made the final decision, then looked at Director Yan and said

"Director Yan, please go and talk to Zhou Fengnian. Don't delay the project."

"Secretary, I can only say that I will try my best. Now that he is back to work, it is arranged by the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building. If we want Zhou Fengnian to come back, we have to go through the leaders."

"Try to talk to him in private first. He is still one of ours."

The secretary was a little troubled as such a big thing happened when he was away for two days.

He thought it was some serious situation, some problem with his ideological awareness or something, but it turned out to be just a trivial matter.

Go back early. It's after eight o'clock. This can also make the deputy leader of the project team stop working. The secretary really wants to report this matter to his superiors.

Machine tool factory.

After Zhou Fengnian came back, he planned to develop the second generation of CNC machine tools. After the breakthrough in integrated circuit technology, the CNC system of the machine tools could also be improved.

In addition, the electromechanical system can also be modified and upgraded, so it is entirely possible to develop and manufacture a new generation of CNC machine tools.

CNC machine tools with better precision and performance are used domestically, and the first CNC machine tools are exported abroad with great efforts.

Treating people differently is Zhou Fengnian’s life creed.

"Chief Liu, you should also communicate more with the people in the integrated circuit workshop and the CNC workshop in the future. They are all from the technical department."

Zhou Fengnian said to Liu Hanfei, the section chief, and everyone else in the technical section: "If you had communicated with each other earlier and knew that the CNC system could be improved, then the machine tool technology innovation would not have to wait until I came back.

With your abilities, you can't think of it."

Liu Hanfei, the section chief, did not feel bad because of the criticism and praise. Instead, he felt that his ability was recognized and he was only criticized because of his negligence. Liu Hanfei nodded and said, "I neglected it, Mr. Zhou. I will summarize the technology in the future."

Zhou Fengnian then patted the blackboard and continued, "You all know where we need to optimize and modify next. The focus is on the electromechanical and motion systems. I will be responsible for the CNC system.
This time, Chief Liu will arrange the groups and other people. I only care about the results. "

"I understand, Mr. Zhou."

After the arrangements were made, everyone in the technical department seemed to have found a backbone and started working immediately.

During the months that Zhou Fengnian was away, the technical department made slow progress and was only responsible for technical guidance, with technological innovation almost completely abandoned.

After Zhou Fengnian came back, they finally knew which direction to crawl to, like a snake that had found its head.

So now after Zhou Fengnian mentioned it, he just ignored it, so as to save the technical department of so many people from relying on him alone.

There are still more than two months until the end of the year. It is a bit unrealistic to optimize and manufacture the second-generation CNC machine tools. It will take at least two months after the New Year.

However, Zhou Fengnian was a little worried that the wind at that time would affect the machine tool factory's good development situation.

This year's output value is expected to exceed 65 million, and the output value created by exports will be 10 million US dollars.

In 1965, it was the only factory in the whole country with such strength; another relatively close one was the First Electrical Appliance Factory, which generated several million dollars in foreign exchange output value because of its portable music players.

This already made the leaders of the Ministry of Light Industry very happy, but unfortunately there was a Hua Xia Machine Tool Factory standing in their way, preventing them from getting the title of "No. 1 in Foreign Exchange Generation".

Zhou Fengnian thought about it and felt that the situation at the Machine Tool Factory should not be that serious. Those people who liked to fight among themselves were transferred away when the Second Machine Tool Factory was reformed. When the factories were just merged, more than 60 people, including the factory director and secretary, were transferred away.

Ninety percent of those who stayed are focused on development. As long as the factory director and secretary take the lead and focus on production, there should not be any problems.

Zhou Fengnian also wants to continue using advanced CNC machine tools to defeat foreign research and development capabilities through export dumping.

Those foreign guys will never be able to catch up with him no matter how hard they try. Now his machine tool technology has been equaled or even surpassed by him. All they can do next is follow him and study and learn from him. They don't have much chance of surpassing him.

The top floor of the factory office.

After Wang Jinghui had been handling some matters at his desk, he suddenly realized that something was missing, so he called his secretary in and asked

"Xiao Yu, where is the report from the technical department today?"

"It hasn't been delivered yet, Director. I heard that Deputy Director Zhou went there this morning."

Secretary Yu thought for a moment, then moved closer and whispered, "After Deputy Director Zhou went to the Technical Department, Section Chief Liu never submitted a report. Director, Director Gao didn't notify you either. Do you think it's possible..."

"Deputy Director Zhou? The previous Zhou Fengnian? Wasn't he transferred?"

Wang Jinghui asked in surprise. He had inquired about it before coming here and knew that because of Zhou Fengnian, this machine tool factory had continuously developed technologically advanced machine tools and supplied them in large quantities at home and abroad, becoming the factory with the highest output value.

However, he came here after Zhou Fengnian was transferred away, so why is he back again?

"What happened? Wasn't he transferred?"

"I don't know either, Director. I just went to ask around. Deputy Director Zhou just came back yesterday, and the factory didn't hold a meeting to announce it. It seems he only went to the technical department and the two workshops with the highest confidentiality."

Secretary Yu spoke up and also explained why he didn't come in to report just now.

"Director, do you want to go to the technical department and call Chief Liu over?"

"No, no rush, go ask the technical department what they are doing first."

After thinking for a while, Wang Denian said that he came to share the merits, not to cause trouble; it was okay to compete with anyone else, but there was no need to compete with Zhou Fengnian.

Zhou Fengnian is a technician after all. Before in the factory, he was in charge of everything except the technical department and had no interest in power at all.

Getting into a conflict with technical staff is the stupidest thing you can do.

But if he couldn't even manage the technical department, Wang Denian felt that he, as the deputy factory director, would become a mascot, and he would just read newspapers and drink tea when going to and from get off work every day.

He is only thirty years old. What's the point of taking care of himself at this age?
When the secretary left for the technical department, Wang Denian was also thinking in the office. He had to do something at the next factory leadership meeting.

After opening the door lock with the key, Zhou Fengnian pushed the door and walked in; after installing the inner lock, it would be fine even if there was no one inside.

There are four keys in total, two for Zhou Fengnian and his wife, one for Zhou Xiaomei, and one for Zhang Fangfang, the second sister-in-law who looks after the children every day.

Now the doors of the Zhou family’s house are all closed. It is also one of the few houses in Nanluoguxiang that is closed during the day, for fear that the children might accidentally run out.

"Brother, you're back."

Zhou Xiaomei ran out from the backyard and whispered, "Someone is here to look for you. He's sitting in the yard."

"Who?"

After Zhou Fengnian handed the briefcase to Zhou Xiaomei, he came to the backyard and took a look. He immediately smiled and said, "Director Yan, welcome. Please stay for dinner tonight and try my cooking."

"Forget about eating. I have to go back later. Fengnian, you know why I came to see you this time."

Director Yan said quickly: "The secretary is back. He severely criticized the man surnamed Huang and asked him to review his mistakes and admit his mistakes. Then he asked you to go back."

"It's just a small matter that has become such a mess."

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and then said, "Director Yan, if no leader knew about this, I could go back to work with you now; but Deputy Leader Li came to me that day and asked me to go back to the machine tool factory, so I couldn't bypass him and go back with you."

"Oh, I knew it. That Huang guy is really incapable of accomplishing anything!"

Director Yan sighed. He could only tell his higher-level leader now, but it would be embarrassing to tell anyone else.

Although it was Director Huang's behavior alone, the one who would bear the brunt of the criticism would definitely be the secretary, because he was the most important.

"Stay for dinner. I used to say that I was a good cook, but you didn't believe me. Today I'll let you taste my cooking skills."

Zhou Fengnian smiled and advised: "I'm not bragging, I have never met a chef with better cooking skills than me."

".Okay, I'll bother you today."

Director Yan thought about persuading him again at the dinner table later, so he agreed.
