Siheyuan, don't mess with me

Some people may say, if you want to improve productivity, why don't you just start production? Why do you have to sit here and learn these rules? You have to learn how to walk and how to place tools? Aren't you just wasting time doing useless work and doing superficial work?

So let me ask you first, should our workshops 7 and 8 be cleaner and tidier than other workshops? Should they be comfortable to look at?

You will definitely ask, what's the point of being clean and tidy, don't we still have to work? I tell you, your idea is wrong!

This is because we are trying a new production process and arranging for you to learn it so that everyone can understand the rules of the new workshop in order to save time and produce more!

Speaking of this, let me give you a simple example. Why do we need to define sidewalks and lanes on the roads we draw lines on? Can anyone tell me why? "

"Of course it's for convenience and speed!" a young worker answered loudly.

"That's a very good answer!" Chen Zhiguo threw a pack of cigarettes over, "Here's a reward for you!"

I wonder how many of the workers below envied this move. If I had known that such a simple answer could earn me a pack of cigarettes, I would have answered it too! There were many people who had such thoughts in their hearts, envious and jealous!

Chen Zhiguo also successfully attracted everyone's attention. He continued, "But what if someone doesn't follow the instructions? What will happen if someone doesn't follow the arrows or walk on the road?"

Chen Zhiguo took out another pack of cigarettes, but it was hard to answer such a question. Everyone usually walks like this in the workshop? There's nothing wrong with it, right?

"It will affect my work!" A young man stood up and just as he finished answering, a pack of cigarettes flew over.

"Very good answer!" Chen Zhiguo was not stingy and said that as long as the answer was correct, there would be a reward!

"Now you know why I asked you to learn these rules and regulations, because your behavior of not abiding by the rules will affect the productivity of the workshop. Some people may ask, isn't it just walking? How can it affect it?

Let me give you an example. Now I am pushing materials to be processed, you blocked me, and he blocked me. The journey that was supposed to take five minutes now takes me seven minutes, so I waste two minutes!

Someone will definitely say, "Isn't it just two minutes? It doesn't matter if it's a little later!" If it's just one trip, then there's nothing to say! I believe everyone knows how much material a workshop needs to transport every day. One trip takes two minutes, ten trips take twenty minutes, and a hundred trips take two hundred minutes, which is more than three hours! Just because you don't follow the rules, you wasted three hours just on one material transport! How long do you work in a steel rolling mill every day? Isn't it a waste of less than half of the time? It's unfair to say that you don't work hard, but time is indeed wasted. Tell me, who should I blame? Blame the rules and regulations I made? Or blame you for not studying hard and not following the rules?"

The workers below were silent. They didn't expect such a small matter to have such a result!

Chapter 155 You refueled in the wrong place!

Chen Zhiguo continued, "Let me give you an example. Before, our maintenance tools were given to whoever needed them. When someone else wanted to use them, they had to search the entire workshop for them. A simple maintenance job that took less than five minutes took half an hour or even an hour to find the tools. I think everyone has had this experience!

Can I say that you guys are just being lazy? Am I accusing you, but you did spend that much time, didn't you?

Now I stipulate that tools should be put on the wall and placed neatly. Is that wrong? Does it make it inconvenient for you to find tools? Or does it delay your laziness? Are you all objecting to this?

Some people also say that this is a face-saving project and a useless thing. Just pat yourselves on the back and tell me, does this arrangement of tools make things convenient for everyone and save time?

We should have been racing against time, working overtime, producing, and dedicating our efforts to building the motherland, but you guys don’t even want to learn the rules, don’t want to abide by them, what do you want to do? Are you doing this to contribute to the country? I think you’re just holding it back! "Finally, Chen Zhiguo shouted!

"You bullshit!"

"We didn't, you are wrongly accusing us!"

“Who doesn’t want to learn?”

Chen Zhiguo slammed the table and shouted, "If you want to learn, study hard. If you don't want to learn or don't study seriously, get out! We don't need people who don't know the rules in workshop seven or eight!"

At this moment, Chen Zhiguo was no longer as gentle and refined as before, and he was shouting like a rude man! But the more he did this, the more the workers believed in him, because he was down-to-earth!

After being scolded by Chen Zhiguo, the workers became more obedient and started to study seriously, mainly some rules and regulations. Chen Zhiguo wanted to enforce them by warning and fining them at first, but the effect was a bit passive, so he had to persuade and educate them! Let the workers consciously abide by them!

. . . . . . . . .

Just when Chen Zhiguo was having a meeting with two deputy workshop directors, Wang Qiang suddenly ran in, "Chief Chen, hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Tell me what happened slowly!" Chen Zhiguo was very dissatisfied with Wang Qiang's performance. If it was in the past, he might not have said anything to him, but now he is the section chief, and Wang Qiang has been busy day and night these days, so Chen Zhiguo wanted to train Wang Qiang, so he was strict with him!

"A machine tool in a workshop broke down. Section Chief Li and his team have been investigating for a long time but have not found the cause. Factory Director Yang has gone there too, so I want you to go over and take a look right away!" Wang Qiang said after taking a breath.

"Got it. Don't panic when things happen, especially if you are a technician. You must keep calm, otherwise you won't be able to get anything done!"

"Got it, Chief!"

When I walked into a workshop, I saw a large circle of people gathered there. Don’t these people need to work? They gathered around for a little bit of fun. This workshop director is very tolerant!

"It's the crankshaft,"

"No, it's a power supply problem!"

"No, it should be a problem with the motor!"

The debate continued. Chen Zhiguo and Wang Qiang squeezed in. Beside the machine tool, all the technical staff were there. Lao Zhang, Lao Jin, and Lao Pan were arguing. Lao Zhang waved his arms and spoke eloquently about his reasons! "I think... I think..."

Director Yang, Li Yunshan, the director of a workshop, the head of the production department were all there, and two maintenance workers were also standing nearby!

"What's the problem?" Chen Zhiguo ignored Lao Zhang and Lao Jin who were arguing and pulled Lao Shen over.

"There is electricity, but it just won't start!" Lao Shen's answer was also very simple!

"Did you open it to check? I did, but I couldn't find the cause!"

Old Shen pointed to an opened cover and said, Chen Zhiguo took a closer look and saw that only the outer protective cover was opened, but the equipment casing inside was not opened!

Chen Zhiguo walked around the machine tool and stopped at a place on the back of the machine tool that was covered with oil and mud. He took a rag and wiped the cover. "Master, come and help me!"

The two standing maintenance workers came over, and one of them said dissatisfiedly, "Who are you? What do you want to do?" They probably looked down on Chen Zhiguo because he was too young!

"He is the deputy section chief of our technical department, Chen Zhiguo!" Wang Qiang, who was following Chen Zhiguo, answered first. When they heard that it was the deputy section chief, they were a little surprised, but their tone changed, "Section Chief, how can I help you?"

"Help me open this cover!" Chen Zhiguo pointed at the cover covered with oil and mud. If it wasn't too dirty, Chen Zhiguo would do it himself. If he did so, his clothes would be ruined. The maintenance workers would wear clothes covered with oil and mud, and they wouldn't care!

"Zhiguo, have you found anything?" Li Yunshan asked when he saw Chen Zhiguo taking action.

"Not sure, open it and see first?"

"He's just a little kid, and he thinks he's so great just because he can draw a couple of pictures. He can also repair machine tools? Don't exaggerate, or it will end badly!" Old Zhang stopped debating with Old Jin and the others, and started talking in a sarcastic tone, completely ignoring Li Yunshan's eyes. Director Yang on the side also frowned, and wanted to say something but swallowed it back!

Old Zhang had been paying attention to Director Yang's expression. Seeing that Director Yang seemed to share the same opinion as him, he was shocked. "Chen Zhiguo, don't move. If you break it, you can't afford the compensation!" Old Zhang directly began to blame Chen Zhiguo.

"Shut up! If you don't have the ability to fix it, don't embarrass yourself here! And you still have the nerve to worry that I can't fix it. Have you kept everything you learned all these years in your stomach? Do you think I'm the same as you, ignorant and incompetent? Stand aside and watch honestly!" Chen Zhiguo showed no mercy and started scolding directly. With his current status, there was nothing wrong with him saying such things!

Chen Zhiguo didn't give Lao Zhang face because this guy didn't know the big picture. He was such a grown-up, but he didn't know anything. They were all from the technical department, but he had to fight among himself and act like a bully!

If you fight with other departments, Chen Zhiguo might support you, but if you act recklessly for your own selfish motives, you will only make a fool of yourself!

Li Yunshan also went over to hold Lao Zhang, and he also saw that Director Yang's face had darkened! "Stop talking, Lao Zhang! Pay attention to unity!"

Chen Zhiguo ignored him, it was just a fly! "Come on, Master, help open this. It just so happens that you are wearing work clothes, otherwise you wouldn't need to do it!"

A dozen screws were quickly unscrewed, and the protective plate was removed, revealing the true face of the machine tool. "Master, help me open this," Chen Zhiguo pointed to a place with five screws and said to the masters.

This board was removed faster. The screws were removed, and a small board was removed, revealing a small hole. Chen Zhiguo wiped the oil mud under the hole, revealing a small glass window with a scale. Chen Zhiguo leaned in to take a look, "Who is responsible for the maintenance of this machine tool? How often do you add oil?"

"It's me!" A middle-aged man stood up. "This machine tool is assigned to me. I do all the routine maintenance myself. I maintain it before going to work every day and add oil every day!"

"Who told you that you have to add engine oil every day?" Chen Zhiguo held his forehead with his hand. This was the result of not learning enough and just starting to work without knowing much!

"Everyone does this every day, I'm not the only one!" the middle-aged man defended himself, and someone beside him spoke up for him, "We also have to add oil every day!"

Chen Zhiguo didn't think much. He refueled every day, how could this happen? It was leaking, but there was no sign of oil leakage!

"Please add it again for me to see!" Chen Zhiguo suddenly had an idea and said to the man,

"Okay!" The man was also eager to prove himself, so he picked up the oil can and started refueling. "Wait! Wait! Do you add oil here every day?" Chen Zhiguo pointed to a place and asked,

"Yes, I add it every day when I go to work, and it has not changed for several years!"

"Okay, I get it. Add oil to that hole as well!" Chen Zhiguo pointed at the place that had just been opened. The man pointed at the hole and said, "Is it here? How much do you want to add?"

"You add first, and when I say stop, you stop!"

The man looked at him hesitantly, and seeing that no one objected to him, he picked up the oil can and started refueling!

Chen Zhiguo watched from the scale line, and when the oil reached one-third, he stopped the man and said, "Start the machine and try!"

"Ah! It's fixed now? Are you kidding me?" The man didn't believe that the machine tool could be fixed by just adding some oil!

"Try it, it's not a big deal!" Chen Zhiguo said calmly.

Seeing Chen Zhiguo's confident look, the man started the machine tool with doubt. Unexpectedly, as soon as the start button was pressed, the machine tool started to operate normally! This operation made the onlookers dumbfounded. Is it that simple?

"Xiao Chen, what's going on?" Director Yang asked after seeing that the machine tool was running normally.

"It's very simple. It's hard to say whose fault it is. It's just that the oil has run out. The machine tool definitely can't start!"

Chen Zhiguo wanted to excuse the man, but it seemed that the man did not appreciate it. "Nonsense, I add engine oil every day!" the man interrupted. He did not want to be wronged and said angrily that if Director Yang had not been there, he might have even punched him!

"I didn't say you didn't add oil, but you added it in the wrong place. The place where you added oil is a screw hole. The real oil hole is this!" Chen Zhiguo said, pointing to the hole where he had just added oil.

“Why was everything fine before?”

"That's because there's still oil in there. Did you see the scale line just now? Was it empty? Only after you added oil did the scale line show up!"

The man nodded subconsciously, and Chen Zhiguo pointed at the oil sludge and said, "This is the result of you adding oil every day. It all leaked out and got covered with dust, and it became like this!"

"I don't know either. When I was learning, they just asked me to add engine oil, but they didn't tell me where to add it. I just saw a hole here and thought it was the oil hole!" The man scratched his head and said embarrassedly!

Chen Zhiguo took the small cover that he had just removed, wiped it clean with a rag, and pointed to a place, "Come and take a look. Is there a small oil can symbol here?"

"Yes! There really is one!" the man said in surprise, "I really didn't notice it!"

Chen Zhiguo signaled the maintenance worker to install the small cover, "Next time you add engine oil, just unscrew the screw in the middle! Okay, that's it!"

Chen Zhiguo nodded to Director Yang, turned around and left. He still had a lot of things to deal with, so there was no point in chatting with them here!

“Zhiguo, wait!” Director Yang chased after him. Everyone in the workshop fell silent. Is he so awesome?

Chapter 156 If you can, then go for it!

Director Yang was speechless and helpless about today's misunderstanding!

The workers in the workshop are of different levels, some high and some low. A very common phenomenon is that their educational level is not high. It cannot be said that they are all uneducated, but a considerable number of employees can only recognize a few simple words!

Only those at a high level, level five or six workers and above, who have received more education, can understand the blueprints!

"Zhiguo, what do you think about today's incident?" Director Yang said distressedly.

"Director, I don't have any good ideas. Nowadays, technical learning is done by a master and an apprentice. The apprentice learns whatever the master teaches. This has its pros and cons! Sometimes, a master with superb skills cannot teach a good apprentice! The technology is in the mind and in the hands, but it cannot be expressed in words, and the apprentice cannot understand it!" Chen Zhiguo didn't have any good ideas either. This is the current situation in the factory, and everything is taught hand-in-hand!

Chen Zhiguo changed the subject and said, "However, I have implemented a system in workshops 7 and 8, which may change things!"

"Oh! What system is that? Tell us about it quickly!" Director Yang immediately became interested!

Chen Zhiguo didn't have a very good impression of Director Yang. He thought he was a bit fake, especially the part where he took He Yuzhu and Xu Damao to cook and show movies for the big boss. In Chen Zhiguo's opinion, it was typical flattery!

However, Director Yang's serious attitude towards the work in the steel rolling mill workshop made Chen Zhiguo feel good about him, which was very contradictory!

"I plan to implement summary meetings in the workshop, that is, hold a small meeting every day, a small summary meeting every week, and a summary meeting for the entire workshop once a month!"

"Why do we have to hold so many meetings? What's the purpose?" Director Yang was puzzled. Does a workshop need to hold so many meetings? How much production time will this delay? In terms of meetings, Director Yang needs to attend many meetings, every day, sometimes several meetings a day, but does a workshop need to do this? It takes up production time and affects output! It takes up off-get off work time, do the workers have any objections?
