Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 52 Choking
"Director Li, this CNC machine tool project is different from previous ones. It is different from the X53K1 machine tool. The most important thing is energy consumption and practicality."

In the factory director's office, Luo Cheng excitedly told Director Li about his application plan, starting with the performance of the machine tool four years ago.

Then compare the two machine tools and the efficiency they produce.

Zhou Fengnian shook his head secretly, then he stepped forward and gently tugged at Luo Cheng's clothes, saying, "Mr. Luo, how about I explain this to the factory director?"

Luo Cheng smacked his lips, and thinking that the machine tool was developed by Zhou Fengnian, he stepped aside and said, "Then you come on, I think the factory director doesn't seem to understand."

Li Zhengyang's face darkened when he heard this. He was not an engineer, so it was normal that he didn't understand. It was enough for him to focus on production.

“Director, what we are going to develop and manufacture next is the world’s most advanced CNC machine tool;
Even if the Russians and the Bald Eagles are combined, they are not as advanced as the machine tools we make."

Director Li immediately understood Zhou Fengnian's short words, and asked excitedly, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, it is definitely the most advanced CNC machine tool in the world. Moreover, Director Wang Hai of the Sixth Institute of Electronics has agreed to support some of us to develop the control system for the CNC machine tool."

Zhou Fengnian said concisely: "Director, this project of ours is equivalent to a joint project with the Sixth Electronics Research Institute. We are the leader and they are the assistant.
Not only is it safe, but our machinery factory will also take the lead in producing the results.”

Their factory manager Li is not from a technical background, so it is useless to talk to him about technology. You have to talk about fame and fortune instead.

The world's first CNC machine tool developed under the leadership of the machinery factory.

This reputation is enough to impress Director Li.

"Yes, yes, I'll have to take a closer look. Xiao Zhou, I was right not to let you go. If you had gone to the First Electrical Appliance Factory, our factory would have suffered a great loss."

Director Li said this while looking at the application written by Luo Cheng. About ten people would be coming.

Isn't this very simple? Director Li thought it would be very difficult. In their large factory with thousands of employees, it is easy to prepare accommodation and meals for ten people.

You can even ask the logistics department to prepare separate kitchens for these people and arrange dormitories together.

Small effort, big reward, that's it!
Although he had already made up his mind, Director Li still said cautiously: "Engineer Luo, Xiao Zhou, I will talk to other leaders about this matter, but don't worry, there will be 80% no problem."

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door. Director Li was startled for a moment, then said, "Come in."

The person who came in was Zhang Anhong.

After Zhang Anhong entered the room, he saw Zhou Fengnian and Luo Cheng frowning, then ignored them and said, "Director Li, there is a document for you to take a look at. It was sent by the factory next door."

"Okay, I'll take a look at it later, but Deputy Director Zhang, please take a look at this application. I just wanted to talk to you and you came."

After handing over the plan written by Luo Cheng, Director Li said with a smile: "Our factory has produced a capable person. If this succeeds, it will be a greater contribution than building a sister factory."

"It's a good plan. Director, you decide."

After reading it, Zhang Anhong handed the application back, then shook his head and said, "I, your direct supervisor, am not the last one to know."

After hearing this, Director Li suddenly looked a little embarrassed, but he laughed it off and said, "It's all the same. I just happened to have something to do with Engineer Luo."

"The factory rules have become a mere decoration. Director Li, I think we should ask the secretary to strictly enforce the factory rules and discipline at the next meeting. We can't do this so recklessly anymore."

Zhang Anhong said sternly that even if Li Zhengyang laughed it off, he didn't seem to intend to let the matter go.

"Deputy Director Zhang is right, especially regarding retaliation. I support the factory's strict investigation."

Zhou Fengnian suddenly said, "Director, I heard that in other factories, projectionists are given a bicycle when they go to the countryside; but our factory doesn't even have a bicycle when it goes to the countryside to repair agricultural machinery for the commune.

Moreover, the work of ten people was assigned to one person. Can this be written down and submitted to the Commission for Discipline Inspection or the trade union?"

Zhang Anhong's face suddenly turned ugly after hearing this. Everyone in the room knew that Zhou Fengnian was talking about Zhang Anhong. Director Li also looked embarrassed. If he had known earlier, he would have sent Zhang Anhong away first.

The same goes for his subordinate and partner. He couldn't even stand the fact that he did it himself, so why is he bringing it up again?

Zhou Fengnian doesn't care now. Wherever he goes, he can build something. The institute has even invited him.

The deputy factory director Zhang Anhong doesn't care about personnel matters and can't even stop him. At worst, he can just leave and see who suffers the biggest loss.

He didn't allow others to talk about the immoral things he did? He had already avoided Xue Peihua and said goodbye to her in a nice way, what else did he want?

Moreover, Xue Peihua did not suffer any loss. The original body did not even touch her hand and gave her a lot of gifts.

"I'll think about this matter again and consider it."

Director Li laughed it off and then said to Zhang Anhong, "Deputy Director Zhang, you go back first. I'll write you a letter later."

"I understand, Director Li."

Zhang Anhong left after he finished speaking, without any special expression.

After Zhang Anhong left, Director Li continued, "Engineer Luo, Technician Zhou, this matter is not a big problem. I will talk to the secretary and other leaders and then I will approve it for you. I will give you the news tomorrow at the latest."

Luo Cheng nodded and said, "Then we will wait for your good news, Director."

After saying that, Luo Cheng signaled to Zhou Fengnian, and the two of them left the factory director's office together.

Not long after leaving the factory director's office, Zhou Fengnian couldn't help but say, "Engineer Luo, do you think Zhang Anhong is sick? He is in charge of the technical department, and he can still make contributions even if he is a hands-off manager. Why does he have to pick on us?"

"Hush, this is still the factory building, kid."

Luo Cheng said quickly, and after pulling Zhou Fengnian out of the factory building, he smiled and asked, "Can't stand him anymore?"

"How can I tolerate this? Last time, when a man went to the countryside, do you think this is something a human being would do?"

Zhou Fengnian curled his lips and said, "He is definitely not from our party, right?"

"So obvious?"

Luo Cheng nodded and said, "You are right. He seemed to be from Shanghai before. He came to the machinery factory in 1955 and joined the party in 1957."

"Oh, he's a veteran of the factory. Could he be the mastermind behind the public-private partnership?"

Zhou Fengnian felt the time was familiar and couldn't help but ask.

Luo Cheng nodded and said, "It turns out that the largest shareholder of the machinery factory is someone he knows, and he was the one who persuaded him to do so."

"Tsk."

Zhou Fengnian sighed and said, "He has a grudge against me. It's really troublesome."

"You know you were so angry just now. You spoke before I even said anything."

Luo Cheng pointed at Zhou Fengnian with a smile, and then continued: "Why are you afraid of him? If you can become an engineer, the factory will need you.

Do you know how many factories have secretly or openly wanted to invite me to work for them over the years? If I agreed, those factory managers might directly ask the leaders of the ministries for transfer orders. "

"Besides, if he dares to touch you, he'll touch me first!"

Luo Cheng snorted coldly. He didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Anhong before, but now he is getting more and more excessive.
