The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 184: The Big Picture in the Small
In fact, after the adjustment, the cold rolling mill produced qualified products when it ran for the second time, and the products were much better than those of the existing cold rolling mills in China.

The few cold rolling mills in China were introduced from the Russian Federation more than ten years ago. Since the Russian Federation turned against us, the development of our cold rolling mill technology has stagnated. This is why the department was so excited when they learned about the success of the cold rolling mill.

Everyone spent the night in the factory under very poor conditions. Liu Hua had never suffered such hardship since he came here, but he had suffered this kind of hardship in his previous life.

There was a short period of time when I worked in a factory. The stingy boss didn't want to let them go into the office to work overtime because he needed to turn on the air conditioner.

Instead, he said that it was warm inside the workshop and he wouldn't catch a cold when sleeping. He spread the torn paper boxes used for packaging on the floor and covered them with an old quilt that came from nowhere. An indescribable smell hit the door directly.

In the end, this stingy boss didn't want to pay overtime wages and bonuses, so Liu Hua had to threaten to resign. Fortunately, this boss knew that layoffs should not affect major employees, so he eventually gave Liu Hua the full amount of money.

Who made Liu Hua cheap and easy to use? He is young, eats little, works a lot, is first-class at enduring hardships, and is definitely a saint of overtime work.

Liu Hua also saw through the boss's character from this incident. As soon as he got the money, he immediately packed up and left. From then on, he would never work for him again, as he would only work like a slave for him.

The leader should go to work at 8 o'clock, but the auditor has already arrived at the factory at 7:50. He has visited the factory many times and knows very well that any technical research must be done in the experimental workshop.

The leader came straight here without asking anyone to greet or lead him. Li Huaide had just assigned a few handymen to clean the place. The engineers were doing maintenance, and the laborers were transporting hot-rolled plates to the rolling mill, making all preparations for the leader's inspection.

"Don't bother. Aren't we here today to see how well your factory is cleaned?" Li Huaide's father-in-law said, "Isn't this the cold rolling mill that was just built? It's a mule or a horse, so just take it out for a spin. No matter how well it's cleaned, it's useless."

"You don't understand. This is the management method summarized by our factory." Li Huaide explained: "The cleanliness of sanitation reflects the workers' arrangement of the working environment. In a dirty and messy factory, the product qualification rate will not be high."

When Liu Hua has nothing to do, he will teach Li Huaide some 5S management methods. Once Li Huaide feels that it makes sense, he will implement it in the factory. Of course, the results are also significant, which is a bit like a dimensionality reduction attack.

"The big picture can be seen in the small. Our ancients said that if you can't clean your own house, how can you clean the world? The same principle applies to a factory. If you can't even control the quality of the working environment, how can you control the quality of the product?"

Li Huaide nodded continuously: "The leader is right. Even if we take a step back, if the working environment is too bad, it will also ruin our production tools."

While they were talking, the workers had cleaned up the site and brought the hot-rolled plates over.

Li Huaide asked tentatively: "Leader, everything is ready now, only the east wind is missing, shall we start cold rolling?"

The leader nodded and said, "Why waste time talking? Let's get started. We have postponed all our schedules today. We will not leave your steel mill until we get the results."

Li Huaide took the lead in applauding: "Well, the leadership's spirit of taking root on the front line is worth learning from. Let's get started."

Just like the work process yesterday, the rolling mill began to run smoothly, and several experts were scattered around the site to observe the specific situation of cold rolling.

The smooth operation of the rolling mill made the experts nod their heads. They gathered together and began to discuss: "I don't think there is a big problem. This new cold rolling mill is much smoother than our old rolling mill. Although we haven't conducted specific tests, based on my more than ten years of experience, I know at a glance that there is nothing wrong with this steel plate."

"I don't know whether the steel plate has any problem or not, after all, I am in charge of the machinery." Another engineer said, "I only know that the new cold rolling mill is many times more advanced than the one imported from Russia. Over the years, I have also been paying attention to the development of foreign machinery, although not in a timely manner, but I feel that the machinery designed by the steel mill can definitely reach the international leading level."

"I feel the same way. The details are so beautiful. They don't look like the products of Big Bear, which are big, black and rough. There is nothing else to feel about them except being rough."

The leader was waiting anxiously on the side. Li Huaide pulled Liu Hua over and explained the original principle of the machine in detail to the leader.

"Mr. Liu, I'm not superstitious," a leader asked, "I just want to know what the international level of your cold rolling mill is."

Liu Hua frowned. It was not easy to answer this question. He couldn't just say directly that my machine is the most advanced in the world.

After thinking for a while and organizing his words, Liu Hua said, "How should I put it? I can't really comment on it because I don't have access to international information. I don't know what the most advanced cold rolling mill in the world looks like, but I'm sure ours won't be too bad."

Li Huaide's father-in-law asked with interest: "How do you say that? Where do you get the confidence to say that you are not too bad?"

"My cold rolling mill has reached the pinnacle of our current industrial level." Liu Hua said very proudly, "It even slightly exceeds our current working level. Maybe Western countries have advanced machines, but I believe they will not surpass me by much."

The leader nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, this is the kind of momentum we need. And you just said that you lack channels to learn about international information?"

The leader turned to his secretary and said, "How can this be possible? Industrial production is not something that can be done behind closed doors. From now on, any latest news about heavy industry in the department involving the world should be reported to Engineer Liu. We should keep up with current events, aim at the most advanced international level, and launch an impact."

While everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Li Huaide said to his secretary, "Go and see how Sha Zhu is preparing. Ask him to pack the food in lunch boxes and send it to the workshop today."

"Aren't you going to the cafeteria to eat?"

Li Huaide shook his head: "What's going on now? Under such circumstances, how could the leaders go to the cafeteria? As long as the results are not out, they will not leave this workshop for the whole day."

The secretary understood immediately and turned around and walked out. He really learned something. No wonder Li Huaide could become the factory director. He had learned how to judge the situation.
