Wang Shouren thought about it briefly and realized that neither the second nor the third group was very suitable.
The translation for the second group wasn't a problem for him, but to be honest, these days, the stuff imported from abroad isn't anything good; studying it is a waste of time. These machines are just the simplest lathes; the US, at the same stage, had already started automating them.
Three groups aren't suitable either; guiding the workers wouldn't be very meaningful, and besides, there's probably an element of patrolling involved. He'd only consider it if someone in his group was willing to back him up and help him modify the factory's operating procedures.
But it's clear that group three is arguably the weakest. We can't back them up.
One set, one set is the most suitable for him.
It went through my mind for a moment.
Zhao Wuliang was not in a hurry and waited for Wang Shouren to think it over.
"I want to join a group."
"Oh?" Zhao Wuliang raised an eyebrow. "It seems you're quite confident in yourself. However, one set requires more in-depth knowledge and will require an assessment."
"I have no problem."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and call your group leader to come in together."
Soon, a young man in his thirties walked in.
"Mr. Zhao, what can I do for you?" The young man was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush, asking directly.
"This is a student newly assigned to the College of Agricultural Machinery. He wants to join your group, so I asked you to come here to test him."
"My name is Shen Yuanliang." Shen Yuanliang stretched out his hand and looked Wang Shouren up and down, as if observing whether he was a good prospect.
Wang Shouren also extended his hand: "My name is Wang Shouren. I'm not good at beating around the bush, Mr. Chen, please just give me the question."
"Okay." Shen Yuanliang's expression brightened. In his opinion, if you're going to do technology, just do technology directly and don't go through all those roundabout ways.
To be honest, there were relatively few people willing to join his group today.
Nowadays, technicians all like to go to the third group, not for any other reason than that they are considered officials, big or small, and can manage people.
What are some commonly used heat treatment methods? Please explain their principles.
Annealing, normalizing, quenching and tempering.
Annealing: The process of heating a steel part to a certain temperature and then allowing it to cool. Normalizing: The process of heating a steel part to a specified temperature, holding it at that temperature, and then cooling it rapidly. Quenching: The process of heating a steel part to a certain temperature and then rapidly cooling it in a material such as water or oil. Tempering: The process of reheating a quenched steel part to a certain temperature and then cooling it in air.
What is conditioning?
"..."
After a brief exchange, Wang Shouren was undoubtedly selected. The remaining questions, which were beyond the scope of the curriculum, were set by Zhao Wuliang. Wang Shouren made his expression as dejected as possible, pretending not to understand.
"The foundation is very good, I agree!" Shen Yuanliang was satisfied.
"Alright, you can go back today and get some rest. You'll officially start work tomorrow. Chen Gong, you'll mentor him, right?" Zhao Wuliang was also very happy to have such a promising talent.
"Alright, from now on I'll be your mentor. Don't be lazy here, or I won't tolerate it. The most important thing for a technician is to be down-to-earth."
"Master, don't worry!" Wang Shouren pressed on, seizing the opportunity.
Communicating with these technicians isn't too difficult; after all, they only care about technology, and interpersonal relationships aren't that important. Of course, this is also related to the environment. After all, the boss here is the type who values technology.
After saying goodbye to the two, I went to the logistics department and picked up some things for the technicians.
Two sets of work clothes, one summer and one winter, along with a number of miscellaneous daily necessities.
The only valuable items were the fountain pen and the thermos.
These two items are unique to technical and management positions. In this day and age, having these two items usually makes you stand out. Other ordinary workers can basically forget about it.
During lunchtime.
A group of female workers gathered together, chattering away.
Qin Huairu was among them; the lunch break was usually a time for gossip.
"Have you heard? A handsome young man has joined the factory," Sister Ma, who was the most well-informed, said mysteriously.
"Wow? So handsome! Tell me, tell me."
This topic immediately piqued everyone's interest.
"In her early twenties, her skin, her figure, wow..."
"Hey Sister Ma, you've been with us all day, and we didn't see anything, but you did?" someone nearby questioned.
"What? You can't say anything just because you didn't see it? You guys don't understand, do you? This is what my older sister in the personnel department said. I heard that she just graduated from vocational school today and started working in a technical position. She's about 21 years old, I think. If you guys have someone you like, you'd better hurry up!"
"Really? A vocational school diploma? How much does the salary be?"
"How much? Oh, 37!" Sister Ma said casually. "It's a technical position. If there are no problems, I'll definitely be promoted to a permanent position next year. Once I'm promoted, I'll get 42.5 yuan. This is just the beginning. Who knows how many people will be vying for it then?"
"But she's not old enough yet."
"I'm 21 now, and I'll be 22 next year. Let's start talking this year and then make a move next year."
Listening to her colleagues' conversation, Qin Huairu clenched her fists and couldn't help but ask, "Getting married at only 22? Isn't that too early?"
"Early? Not early at all. You young people don't understand." Sister Ma said with a smug look on her face.
"What don't you understand? Sister Ma, please tell us. Everyone wants to hear it." Qin Huairu looked curious.
The curiosity of those around her perfectly satisfied Sister Ma's vanity.
"This new technician will be a full-time employee next year. After that, he'll have to climb the corporate ladder. And to climb the ladder, he'll have to get married!"
"But why do you have to get married to move up in life?" a young girl with little experience asked. She was only 17 years old and didn't want to waste her valuable opportunities.
"Hey, you guys are so short-sighted. Promotions depend on whether you're married or not. You all know that idiot Zhu from the second cafeteria, right?"
"Know."
"Logically speaking, given his age and his skills, he should have no problem becoming the deputy director of the cafeteria. The reason he hasn't been promoted after all these years is because he's not married, you know? People who don't get married can't settle down. You guys should learn from him."
"So, does that mean he'll get married no later than next year?" The young woman seemed a little unhappy.
"Oh, is our little sparrow missing men?"
The older woman next to her immediately started teasing the little girl, making the girl blush.
Qin Huairu's face, however, was deathly pale.
