Chapter 265: Writing Textbooks
☆
Two days before the Chinese New Year, the commune research institute received a truckload of supplies from the East Province Automobile Factory, including rice, flour, oil, sugar, milk powder, malted milk, honey, some industrial coupons, two bicycle tickets, and two watch tickets, thanking them for helping to improve the truck engine and overall design. They also sent two engineers for further training.
Xie Yun welcomed them and said, "You two are so enthusiastic about your work that you didn't even bother staying home until after the New Year. A couple of days wouldn't be a big deal."
It’s Chinese New Year! Why are you working so hard?
The two engineers, like Mei Dashan and Sun Tiejun at the tractor factory, were a pairing of one old and one young. The older, Han Zhenxing, was in his fifties, while the younger, Zhang Jiefang, was in his late thirties. Both names were characteristic of the times.
Han Zhenxing said, "It's the same for everyone. No one in the factory takes a holiday, and we continue working on New Year's Eve and Spring Festival. Our factory was originally in the provincial capital, but later moved to the mountains. Some people moved with their families, while many others left their hometowns entirely. For us, celebrating the New Year is the same wherever we go. My family is in the provincial capital, so I couldn't celebrate with them anyway. But Xiao Zhang's wife and children are at the factory, so we won't be able to have New Year's Eve dinner together this year."
Zhang Jiefang smiled and said, "Work is important."
Xie Yun: “…”
Okay.
The main people who trained them were Li Zhixin and Xie Shen.
They have participated in the entire process of modifying tractors, cars, and trucks, and have a very good grasp of engine knowledge.
Han Zhenxing and Zhang Jiefang were a little dumbfounded at first by this bearded and young teacher combination, who seemed unreliable. But once they started learning, they discovered that they could indeed teach them. More than enough!
Whether it's a bearded homeless man of indeterminate age, or a young man as fresh and energetic as mushrooms after a rain, they all have real talents and skills.
As expected, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
Li Zhixin and Xie Shen taught seriously, and Han Zhenxing and Zhang Jiefang studied even harder.
Xie Yun joked with Pan Changqing, "We can even open a training class for senior engineers here, so that engineers from various machinery factories, automobile factories, and tractor factories can come here for further training. This will definitely be of great benefit."
Pan Changqing thought about it carefully and said, "Your idea is very good, but we don't have the time right now. Besides, it doesn't seem very convenient here."
"Then let's compile a set of training materials, and then have Comrade Li Dongshan organize the training."
Pan Changqing said, "Does he have time? He's managing two factories now. I'm afraid he's so busy he doesn't even have time to eat, right?"
Just as Xie Yun was about to offer some capitalist rhetoric, Li Zhixin said, "Time is like water in a sponge; you just squeeze it and you'll have more."
Everyone:"……"
I felt sympathy for Li Dongshan for a second, but I still had to order him around.
Seeing Li Zhixin pick up the phone and about to call, Xie Yun hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, our textbook hasn't even started yet. Let's finish that first. I'm thinking we can make this a bit more formal. Since we're going to produce training materials, why not just publish it directly? After we're done, I'll find a provincial publishing house and publish it under the name of our institute. We won't need to include any personal names for now. Is that okay?"
Pan Changqing smiled and said, "Is that alright? If you can publish it, we'd have no objection to signing someone else's name, right?"
He asked the others, and they all agreed. "That's right. If we can publish it, it can be sold all over the country, and more people can learn from it. What can a small group of us do? The country is so big, the more talented people there are, the better."
Zheng Shuhua said, "Let's divide the work and each of us write a part. Let's squeeze in and find time to write so as not to delay the research progress."
"become."
All researchers at the Institute of Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering held a meeting and reached a consensus on compiling and publishing a set of applied technology textbooks. They also discussed the textbook content and the division of labor.
After the meeting, Xie Yun wrote a meeting minutes based on the discussion, asked everyone to sign it, and stamped it with the official seal of the institute.
Xie Yun has kept detailed records of everything this institute has done since its establishment.
For example, Li Dongshan signed and stamped the document in which Rencheng Tractor Factory commissioned the research institute to improve tractor engines.
For example, when the Dong Province Automobile Factory commissioned them to improve the engine technology and overall design of heavy-duty trucks, Xie Yun also made a note and asked Mr. Huang, the factory's boss, to sign and stamp the document the next time he saw him. Mr. Huang knew about this, but he was in Beijing for a meeting before the New Year and couldn't come in person, saying he would come after the New Year.
The institute also made the initial decision to engage in steel research.
Xie Yun also added documents such as "Suggestions on the Preparation for the Establishment of the Qushui County Poor and Lower-Middle Peasants Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering Research Institute", "List of the Preparatory Committee", "Staff Situation Table", "Application for the Establishment of...", "Institute Charter", "Minutes of the First Plenary Meeting", "Annual Work Summary", and "New Year Work Plan", and asked whoever should be approved to get it and whichever department should stamp it.
There is a huge amount of information about the institute itself.
All in all, they are a serious research institute!
Although the work is a bit casual and rough, the procedures are correct and everything is compliant!
Make a decision on the same day you propose it.
Everyone was assigned a task and began writing that very evening, burning the midnight oil.
Li Zhixin and Xie Shen also received a relatively basic portion. They were a little hesitant at first, worried that their skills were not enough. This was not a small-scale event like usual; this was something that was prepared for the whole country to see.
Pan Changqing said, "What are you afraid of? Just keep writing. We'll review it after you finish. We don't guarantee that your writing will be accepted just the way it is. Besides, you should have some confidence. You two have studied so hard for so long, you've reached the level of a university graduate."
Li Zhixin and Xie Shen thought about it and realized that it was true, they also had someone to back them up!
☆
Li Dongshan, who was missed by Xie Yun, had no time to celebrate the New Year. He was summoned to Beijing by the Automobile Industry Bureau of the First Ministry of Machine Building Industry.
Years ago, Wang Zhensheng went to Beijing to report on his work. He talked about the industrial development of East Province and mentioned the automobile factory that was about to be completed and put into production. He praised the cars independently developed by their East Province.
Then, the Ministry of First Machinery issued an order, asking Li Dongshan to drive the car to the capital. Since it had already been built, it was time to do the inspection and acceptance work.
Li Dongshan couldn't shirk this matter. Acceptance was necessary, otherwise they would not be able to produce.
He didn't go because he was confident about the acceptance, thinking of waiting until the factory was built. He didn't expect it to be exposed in advance.
There was no choice, so Li Dongshan drove to Beijing.
