The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 300 Unfathomable
Soon, he found a fertilizer factory in the FS area. To be precise, this factory was not only a fertilizer factory but also a chemical factory that could produce some relatively simple chemical raw materials.

After the restrictions were relaxed, the director of the factory was also very ambitious and launched a chemical project. The effect was immediate and the factory made a profit of tens of thousands that year.

Encouraged by this, this guy began to expand on a large scale and launched several production lines in succession. It is said that one should not take steps too big, as taking steps too big can easily lead to failure, and this guy was failed.

A lot of money was invested at once, and part of it was a bank loan. But the market didn't open up for a long time, so I could only make a little money from my original capital, which was just enough to pay the bank's interest.

The entire factory appears to be profitable on the surface, but in fact it cannot even pay the workers' wages and has to rely on funding from higher authorities.

The district is already overwhelmed. Their funding is limited to begin with, and they have to squeeze out a portion of the fiscal budget to allocate to the factory to pay the workers' wages.

As for streamlining the workers, how to settle hundreds of workers is a big problem. If they just let them go home without preparing a way out for them, they will just have to wait for the people to rush into their homes for meals.

Liu Hua was just about to take over the factory, and he was relieved. He did not make any excessive demands, but only asked the workers to be appeased, not to have them run to the district government every two or three days to complain, and to pay some management fees every year.

Liu Hua paid very promptly and completed the transaction quickly. He gave the deputy director a reward of 50,000 yuan, which made the guy very proud.

After taking over the chemical plant, Liu Hua was unable to find a qualified manager for a while, so he asked the people in the chemical plant to recommend someone internally and chose a more prestigious old worker to be the factory director.

Before taking office, Liu Hua invited the factory director to drink. As they drank in the tavern, Liu Hua made three rules: "Director Zhang, although you were recommended by the workers, you are the factory director appointed by me, so everything must be based on my orders."

Director Zhang thought about it and nodded, but tentatively said: "No matter what, I was recommended by the workers, and I still have to protect the interests of the workers."

"Of course, I contracted this factory to make money, to expand production, and to make a profit. Since I can make a profit, I will not harm the interests of the workers, because I need them to work for me. If I harm their interests, who will work for me wholeheartedly?"

Director Zhang nodded: "Then there will be no problem."

"In addition, my new products are different from those you produced before. They have higher technological content, so I specially invited a few teachers to come and train you."

Director Zhang thought of something, so he said, "There are hundreds of workers, some are young, some are old, some have strong learning ability, and some have weak learning ability. If they fail the assessment, I hope you don't fire them. Because that would ruin the jobs of a whole family."

"If they fail the assessment, I will transfer them to simpler positions." Liu Hua agreed, "Of course, this refers to older workers. I hope all the younger workers can pass the assessment."

"I will personally supervise everyone's studies."

Liu Hua was very satisfied with Director Zhang's attitude and nodded: "Although you are older, you are the factory director, so I will be extra strict with you. In addition, all workers who pass the assessment will receive higher wages, and those who fail will receive slightly less."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "In fact, the best management method should be to eliminate those who fail the assessment, but there is no way. The district will not let me fire workers now."

"Okay, we can implement a stricter reward and punishment system. I will severely punish anyone who fails or does not do the job seriously, and will never drag down the boss." Liu Hua was very satisfied with this attitude, and said with a smile: "I see that you are quite old. If you manage well, I can buy you a large pension insurance in two years to guarantee your future retirement life."

Liu Hua found several good chemical engineering teachers from a senior vocational school to train the workers. They had half a day of classes and then half a day of work to transform the entire factory.

When everyone was working in full swing, Liu Hua also designed the carbon fiber production process. The equipment I needed was basically not available in China, so Liu Hua had to design it himself and order it from the corresponding manufacturers.

Another several million was spent. If it weren't for the profit from the motorcycle engine, Liu Hua would really be unable to afford it.

Liu Hua discovered that there were only five technicians in this chemical plant, which was not enough. He was now essentially rebuilding a chemical plant, and with fewer technicians, the progress of the project would be greatly delayed.

Since there were no ready-made technical personnel, Liu Hua had to hire from outside. He invited two experts from the Chemical Engineering Department of Huaqing University for help, and also brought in a technical team from a petrochemical company for support.

These were the favors he had accumulated when he designed the two-headed donkey. The petrochemical department finally had the opportunity to repay the favor, and they selected the best and brightest soldiers and sent them to him.

Put the five half-baked technicians in your factory next to these experts and tell them to learn as much as they can. As long as they don't die from learning, they will learn until they die.

In addition, he also urgently recruited dozens of smart and well-performing students from the Chemical Engineering Department of the Advanced Technical College to serve as backup technical force for the factory, and sent them to learn from these experts.

With the support of those experts, the project went much more smoothly. After all, they are the best in the chemical engineering field, otherwise they would not have been recruited by the petrochemical department.

Liu Hua loves wine, tea and food, and treats them with great care. He has never thought of poaching these people. At the current stage, their high salaries cannot compete with those within the system. There may still be a chance in a few years, so let's just make some good friends first.

After working with Liu Hua for nearly a month and a half, these professors and engineers also gathered together to discuss.

An engineer from the petrochemical department said in confusion: "What Mr. Liu is doing with this plant is a bit strange. I have been in charge of several projects, and none of them are similar to this one."

The professor from Huaqing University nodded and said, "Yes, I feel that this is not our existing chemical project, but a project developed by Engineer Liu himself."

The person from the petrochemical department asked, "Engineer Liu used to teach at your Huaqing University. Did he do any chemical research at that time?"

"Not at all. At that time, he was in charge of the semiconductor industry, working on supercomputers, personal computers, digital cameras, printers, and radars."

"Wow, I didn't realize that Engineer Liu is such a versatile person. He once designed oil extraction machines for our petroleum department."

The professor from Huaqing University shook his head and said, "Engineer Liu is indeed unfathomable. I don't quite understand this project."
