There are precedents for this.
The department is short-staffed, so it recruits some graduates almost every year.
But getting there didn't guarantee success. He still needed to pass a series of exams, which meant he had studied relentlessly under Wang Shouren's constant pressure, developing an exceptionally solid foundation. Only then did he avoid being eliminated.
Of his contemporaries, only he remained, which shows how fierce the competition was.
“Plans must be grounded in reality, comrade. You still have much to learn. Study carefully and understand deeply.” Wang Shouren patted him on the shoulder, stood up, took the documents, and went to find Director Sun.
Factory Director's Office.
Director Sun was not surprised to see Wang Shouren.
On the contrary, he was looking forward to it.
He'd been the factory manager for quite a few years. He wasn't an expert on all the technical stuff, but he knew that if someone came in and immediately started telling him how to fix things to increase production, that person was probably just spouting nonsense. But if that person came in, spent some time immersing themselves in the work, investigating and observing everywhere, that person was much more reliable.
Then this person is probably quite capable.
Just like when he led troops before, different terrains and different weather conditions correspond to different tactics.
Even the slightest difference can lead to vastly different tactics.
If a steel rolling mill can do it, then a machinery factory might not be able to.
"Come, come, Technician Wang, and Technician Xu, I've been waiting for you for a long time." When the two came in, Director Sun immediately stood up to greet them with great enthusiasm.
He doesn't seem to be a complete fool.
Wang Shouren immediately made a judgment in his mind. His previous attitude was polite but distant, indicating some expectation, but not much.
Things are completely different now; my expectations are at the top.
"Director Sun, these are the reports we've gathered over the past few weeks. Please take a look, and then we can talk." Wang Shouren handed over a stack of reports.
Factory Director Sun seemed surprised by Wang Shouren's directness and paused for a moment, but then burst into laughter: "Haha, good, here, don't be polite with me, I'm counting on you guys to give me your opinions." After saying that, he took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from the drawer and tossed it to Wang Shouren and Xu Jiaguo.
Xu Jiaguo was a little at a loss, but Wang Shouren didn't stand on ceremony. He took the cigarette, opened it, took out a pack, smoked one for himself and one for Xu Jiaguo, pulled him to a seat, and started puffing away.
Factory Director Sun nodded in satisfaction. He liked this kind of bold guy; these guys usually had something of their own.
Upon opening Wang Shouren's report, I was immediately captivated at first glance.
The report format is unlike anything I've ever seen before. At first glance, there's only one feeling—clarity.
Yes, clear.
Reports in this era lacked a standard format, and factory reports were particularly chaotic. After all, very few people could read before this. It was almost always a case of the best among the worst. Much of what was said was the culmination of generations of experience and accumulated knowledge by these predecessors. Seeing Wang Shouren's groundbreaking report truly impressed him.
The more I look at it, the more alarmed I become.
Regardless of the accuracy of the data in this report, if it's correct, it's enough to roughly estimate this year's annual output. Moreover, he'd never seen such a user-friendly and easy-to-understand report. More importantly, this report revealed numerous instances of unreasonable personnel allocation in various areas.
In some workshops, the shortage of highly skilled workers has led to production stagnation. Meanwhile, in other workshops, there is an overabundance of basic skilled workers.
He immediately sent someone to fetch Director Yan from the technical department.
Director Yan didn't seem to care much about the data in Wang Shouren's report. In fact, anyone with a technical background would have a basic understanding of data. He could do the same, but not as well as Wang Shouren.
But I was very interested in the process breakdown diagrams drawn by Wang Shouren.
"Factory manager, this disassembly diagram is quite good, but it's not detailed enough. If it were broken down into even more detail, our output could probably double again." Director Yan immediately saw the problem.
This isn't because he's a genius.
The main problem is that Wang Shouren's report was too obvious.
Xu Jiaguo suddenly realized.
He understood!
His father had said before that whatever you do, you should always leave room for maneuver.
Now that Wang Shouren's report is submitted, if it's too perfect, wouldn't his colleagues have nothing to gain? If they can revise his report, then they'll have earned some credit.
His expression turned extremely complicated as he looked at Wang Shouren. He had originally thought that Wang Shouren was just a guy who only knew about technology. He hadn't expected that this guy was so knowledgeable about human relationships and social interactions.
In other words, Wang Shouren was unaware of his thoughts. If he had known, he would have told him, "Don't overthink it. I just want someone to step out and face the shock."
Sometimes, certain things are done in a way that can lead to misunderstandings.
Factory Director Sun gave Wang Shouren, who was puffing on his cigarette, a meaningful look and said, "No rush. Let's try it out according to Technician Wang's idea first and see how it goes. If needed, we have Technician Wang's information. We can make modifications without much problem, don't you agree, Technician Wang?"
“Yes, let’s do it my way first and see how it goes. As for how to change it later, that’s up to you.” Wang Shouren understood the implied meaning from the music and nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then I'll arrange a workshop in the next couple of days. Let's try it out first, and if it works, we'll go straight to it." Factory Director Sun waved his hand. People who come from the military are generally like this: decisive and efficient.
They sent Wang Shouren and the others back first, and then discussed the matter with several workshop directors.
At noon the next day, Officer Sun came over to inform them that they could go to the new workshop.
When Xu Jiaguo came out of the workshop, his eyes were opened again.
The huge workshop left Xu Jiaguo completely bewildered.
The moment Wang Shouren saw the workshop, he had already taken out paper and pen and started writing and drawing in his notebook.
He has already started planning the workshop.
From the workstations of each process, to the possible future developments, and the various redundancies, it's fair to say that after seeing all that, Xu Jiaguo felt like all his years of study had been for nothing.
During the months he spent with Wang Shouren, Xu Jiaguo felt that his worldview had been refreshed, and he learned what it meant to have a vast world and great potential, and what it meant to have "mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people".
