The factory's sophisticated production line and 5S management system were established by him and Zhang, an engineer at the factory.
There's still a lot that can be optimized in this system, but he doesn't have the time. He needs to find a few people who understand this system to optimize the workshop. Feng Xian and Song Qiao are technically skilled people; it would be a waste of their talents to have them do this.
This is why Wang Shouren went to recruit Shen Yuanliang.
Old Shen is skilled; he knows what to do.
In reality, most factory chief engineers aren't really responsible for innovation; instead, they're mostly focused on keeping the factory running smoothly. Shen Yuanliang is the type whose heart is in one place but not the other; his job is to maintain stability and come up with solutions, yet he prefers the work in the research lab. That's acceptable, but Wang Shouren is thinking of having his own master craftsman thoroughly repair and maintain their factory first.
As for research technology, with old man Zhuge around, there's absolutely no need to worry.
"Alright, now that you're all here, let's get started. Don't worry, we're all family, so I won't say too much. Come on, Master, go take a look around the factory and see if there's anything wrong. I'll take these two to complete their onboarding process."
“No… we don’t need to sign up. Our salaries are still paid by the ministry,” Sun Liancheng explained.
"Oh, that's fine too. It'll save you trouble. The factory will also give you a bonus. Let's go, let's go to the factory and take a look."
The group consisted of skilled technicians, and upon hearing Wang Shouren's words, they didn't hesitate much and followed. Xu Weiwei also put down what she was doing and went after them.
The factory wasn't big. As they walked, Wang Shouren explained, "The conditions aren't great right now. The factory dormitories are over there. See if you need them. I'm thinking that it's quite far from your homes. The dormitory conditions are a bit harsh, but next spring, I'll organize a construction team to build the dormitories for the employees first, and then expand the factory."
"Isn't this house pretty good?" Shen Yuanliang didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
The steel rolling mill's dormitory buildings look the same. You could call them high-rises, and they are indeed high-rises, but living here is not as comfortable as living in a traditional courtyard house.
Wang Shouren wanted to build something more modern.
"It's still not quite there." Wang Shouren shook his head.
Given his goals, it's normal that he wouldn't be interested in this kind of house.
"Just know what you're doing, kid. Don't end up covering yourself up in the process," Shen Yuanliang remarked. These days, factories without real strength don't dare to build any factory buildings.
But then again, for someone like Wang Shouren, building a factory wouldn't really cost much.
In his network of connections, obtaining materials like cement bricks wouldn't be difficult, especially since he was willing to pay a price.
"Alright, just take a look. I'll probably stay here for the time being." Shen Yuanliang nodded.
"So what about you two? Are you planning to go home, or stay here? Is there someone to take care of your children at home?" Wang Shouren asked, looking at Sun Liancheng and Li Li.
These two got married in 1968, and over the years they've had quite a few children and their family is quite large.
"There's no problem, there are elderly people at home taking care of me," Li Li said.
Their current positions are due not only to what Wang Shouren taught them from the beginning, but also to their constant business trips. Their achievements are all the result of genuine business trips. Therefore, they are used to these temporary assignments, and a few months is not a big problem.
"That's good. Let's go and take a look at the workshop first."
Workshop 1 and Workshop 2 are two extremes.
Workshop 1 is always busy, while Workshop 2 basically doesn't have much to do.
The group went to Workshop 1 first and took a look.
Shen Yuanliang only stayed for about ten minutes before he sensed a strong Wang family style.
The refined assembly line and 5S management system are not yet finished products, but they are already taking shape. Moreover, the workers here are quite conscientious in their work.
Sun Liancheng and Li Li were also stunned; this was simply the assembly line of their dreams.
However, there are some minor flaws that need to be fixed.
Over the years, they have accumulated a considerable amount of experience.
Seeing that they had seen enough, Wang Shouren led them out: "Right now, only Workshop One is actually doing any work. The people in Workshop Two are all old hands, and I don't want to touch them for the time being. I'll probably keep Workshop Two at its current level. There's still room in this factory, and we can develop two more workshops. I haven't had much time before, so I'll leave this to you."
Shen Yuanliang nodded. This was exactly what he had come for: "No doubt about it, I'll definitely handle things perfectly for you."
"Oh, by the way, our factory also has a laboratory. I'll take you to see it."
Wang Shouren led them toward the laboratory.
The three didn't care much; the term "laboratory" was common in many factories, most of which were just any room, some even without any machinery. They'd just put up a "laboratory" sign and call it a laboratory. They figured Wang Shouren's laboratory was probably just a small room. But the further they walked, the more uneasy they felt.
Generally speaking, for easy access to materials, workshops are usually located on the first floor, especially in those days, the first floor is often made as high as possible. The second floor is the office area. Logically, the so-called laboratories would be on the second or third floor, but Wang Shouren led them to another factory building with a turn.
This is a small factory building located behind the large factory building. It was originally a warehouse, but Wang Shouren tidied it up and turned it into a small laboratory.
Pushing open the door, I saw Old Man Zhuge's old face, who was about to leave.
Upon seeing Wang Shouren, his face darkened, and he immediately began to scold him: "Look at you, look at you! Can't you do anything productive all day long?! You should have figured this out by now. Do you know how much this knowledge could improve our country's combat capabilities if it were applied to the army..."
"Cough cough..."
Wang Shouren coughed twice, somewhat embarrassed.
He had to endure the old man Zhuge's scolding.
There was no other way, so he proposed that he would sponsor some research funds for Zhuge Laotou's academy every year, and in principle, the laboratory should also be built within the academy. But this sixth brother was unreasonable. He said that since the experiments would be done by graduating students anyway, they might as well build the laboratory here, and after completing the experiments, they could also see the practical applications.
His place is large, which allows students to conduct experiments properly.
