The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 162: Sour
Li Huaide turned around to make tea. Old Xu might be a little lacking in education. Seeing that Li Huaide's drawer was not closed tightly, he opened it.

The plan that was placed on top was the one that Liu Hua had written the earliest. Old Xu's eyes widened at that moment.

"I didn't realize it, Lao Li, you are so generous."

Li Huaide was still making tea, and asked without even turning his head: "What did you say? What do you mean by having a big heart? I don't understand."

Old Xu took out the plan, pointed to the title line at the top, and read it word by word: "Plan for the transformation of the converter of the steel mill with an annual output of 2.4 million tons."

"Aren't you ambitious enough? Are you planning to merge with Shougang? Two million four hundred thousand tons, Shougang has not been able to reach this level yet."

The big boss patted his thigh and said, "Isn't this nonsense? Are you planning to do the steelmaking again like a few years ago? You are just a steel rolling mill. Just do your job down to earth."

Li Huaide handed the teacups to the people and said, "I knew that the plan would not work. This plan was not written by me, but by our engineer Liu. Young people are energetic and need encouragement. As for how to grasp the direction, it is up to me, the boss, to decide. I will just put this plan in the drawer and take a look at it occasionally. It is a kind of yearning."

"Oh, it was written by your engineer Liu, no wonder." Li Huaide's father-in-law said cheerfully, "After all, he is only twenty years old. It is commendable for a twenty-year-old young man to have great ambitions. When I was twenty years old, my ideas were even crazier than his."

The two leaders discussed the development of the steel rolling mill with Li Huaide. Old Xu, who had just wanted to strangle Li Huaide to death, stared at the plan in a daze.

Li Huaide chatted with the leader for more than half an hour and reported the current development of the steel mill one by one. The leader was also very satisfied with the current situation of the steel mill. It should be said that since Li Huairen became the factory director, the steel mill has always exceeded the tasks assigned to him by the organization.

At this time, Old Xu slapped the table and said, "Oh, good, that's great."

The big boss smiled and asked, "What's so great?"

Old Xu happily held up the plan and said, "This plan is really great. The steel mill doesn't really need it, but Shougang can use it. It is tailor-made for Shougang, so it can be regarded as our development plan for the next ten years."

The senior leader became interested and waved at Lao Xu: "Show it to me. You dare to speak up. Your development plan for the next ten years must be considered comprehensively. It is not something you can decide on a whim."

"You still don't believe it." Old Xu handed the plan to the leader and said to Li Huaide with a smile: "Old Li, how about discussing something with you?"

"No need to talk. I know what you are up to as soon as you stick your butt out." Li Huaide waved his hand and said, "Engineer Liu, that is the chief engineer of our steel mill for now and for the next ten or twenty years. There is no way we can give it to you, Shougang. Your technical strength is several times that of ours, and you still covet our Engineer Liu. How can you be so greedy?"

"It's wasted in your steel mill." Old Xu said with a smile: "The fact that he can write this plan shows that he is very familiar with the steelmaking industry. People should be used to their full potential. What use would he have if he was left in your steel mill?"

The leader didn't listen to their bickering, but just flipped through the plan. Li Huaide's father-in-law was also watching. Liu Hua's plan was so beautiful that the two leaders kept nodding their heads. "He is indeed a talent." The big leader praised: "Xiao Xu, why can't you write such a beautiful plan for Shougang's technical transformation? You should pay attention to learning."

"Why don't you just transfer the person to me?"

Li Huaide's father-in-law naturally sided with Li Huaide and shook his head: "Don't be greedy. How many engineers do you have at Shougang? It's so hard for their steel mill to train an engineer, and you want to poach him. Do you want to let the steel mill develop? Our First Machinery Department is the First Machinery Department of all factories, not the First Machinery Department of Shougang."

The big boss looked at his old friend, who had a righteous look on his face at this moment and spoke without any bias. In fact, he was still helping his son-in-law.

Of course, what he said does make sense. This is indeed not the way to go. If you transfer good engineers as soon as you see them, then who in the factories below will dare to train their own talents in the future? Even if they do, they will only be trained for those big factories.

The senior leader slapped the plan on the coffee table and said, "You should copy a copy of this plan and take it back to all technical personnel for study. You should also improve it as soon as possible as a guide for your development in the next ten years. As for Engineer Liu, don't think about it for now. We have to take into account the opinions of the steel mill. But if necessary, you can ask Engineer Liu to give you lessons."

Li Huaide finally put his worries aside and said with a smile, "There is no problem with the class. Our Engineer Liu is qualified. Who would say that Engineer Liu has no place to use his talents in our big steel plant? He has already made a work plan for next year."

His father-in-law smiled and asked, "Oh, so forward-looking? What is your work plan for the steel rolling mill next year?"

"A steel mill?" Li Huaide said proudly, "Of course, we still have to focus on our job. Next year, Engineer Liu plans to improve and upgrade the rolling mill, and maybe even start a new rolling mill project."

The big boss nodded and said, "This work plan is well done. If I remember correctly, your Engineer Liu has had new projects every year since he started working, right?"

Li Huaide nodded: "Yes, young people should be encouraged. It is the time for them to achieve success. We old people should support them. After all, the teacher said that the world belongs to them."

His father-in-law said with a straight face: "Liu Gong should be praised, but you, Li Huaide, must be criticized. If there is such a large project in the future, you must report it. Shougang's investment this time is almost wasted. You, Li Huaide, are responsible for this."

It seems like a criticism of Li Huaide, but in fact it is a praise. Shougang has so many engineers and technicians, and the ministry has supported them, but they still lost to a self-sufficient steel rolling mill. They will definitely lose face at the conference at the end of this year.

Seeing that the time was almost up, they returned to the test workshop, where the experts' assessment should have been clear.

The experimental workshop is very busy at the moment. In the time it takes the leader to have a cup of tea in the office, two batches of steel have been produced. Although it has not yet reached the protection index, all experts know that it is only a matter of time, three or four days at the fastest and seven or eight days at the slowest.

The experts from Shougang are the most jealous. They worked so hard for more than a year, but in the end the grapes were picked by others. They feel so jealous.
