Minister Xu leaned back in his chair.
He scanned the leaders across from him with sharp eyes.
Guo Yuda was the first to speak: "I accompanied Minister Xu here today, so I'm sure Director Zhao knows why we've come, right?"
Factory Director Zhao said with a smile, "We warmly welcome you to inspect our work and guide production."
"Minister Xu, I'd like to report on our factory's performance."
Minister Xu stretched out his hand, gesturing for us to stop: "Performance is not my responsibility; I only handle my own duties."
"In other words, I have no authority to manage the operations and production of factories in mainland China."
"Don't let my title in the Equipment Division fool you; I mostly do coordination work."
Minister Xu's words made Factory Director Zhao feel somewhat embarrassed.
Where did we show that we looked down on you?
He's a ministerial-level leader, who would dare offend him!
Furthermore...
The Equipment Division has no authority.
However, the Equipment Division has absolute say in major national projects.
This department can designate which factory to undertake the construction task.
You can also nitpick.
For example, does your excavator use parts from Chicheng Hydraulics Factory?
Sorry, but I just can't stand this hydraulics factory. Your excavator factory is doomed.
A single sentence could plunge a hydraulic plant into dire straits.
But generally speaking, Minister Xu has never done this.
Public and private matters are still clearly separated.
Factory Director Zhao said with a forced smile, "Sir, please stop beating around the bush and just tell me what's on your mind!"
Minister Xu dropped his airs and said, "I heard that the submersible heavy machinery used parts from your factory and replaced them every few days. How do you explain that?"
"Do you know what kind of vehicle a 150 transport truck is? If not, let me explain it to you."
Factory Director Zhao sighed deeply: "Sir, I've heard about this too. As the factory leader, I feel very guilty."
Factory Director Zhao, with a look of self-reflection as if he had committed a grave mistake, continued:
"As part of the mainland's manufacturing industry, our hydraulic plant, upon receiving the request for submersible mainframes, worked overtime, overcame difficulties, and was full of high spirits, all expressing their determination to manufacture valves that strengthen the nation and bring pride, contributing to the realization of industrial modernization..."
Minister Xu's lips twitched.
This is just making a mountain out of a molehill again.
Can you be more practical?
The entire text is written in plain language.
Completely confused, I couldn't understand what improvement measures were being implemented.
The entire speech was perfunctory; I have no idea which genius wrote it.
Minister Xu, growing impatient, threw out the damaged valve core and said, "Stop talking nonsense and explain to me what happened."
"The 150 transport vehicles invested by the state are about to be wasted because of this!"
"Are you worthy of your position? Are you worthy of the trust the country has placed in you?"
Factory Director Zhao responded with ease: "Actually, it's still a bit difficult for us to take on the hydraulic system parts for 150 transport vehicles."
"However, we are not afraid of difficulties and will continue to supply goods on time."
"Although there were some flaws, mistakes are inevitable, and we have taken remedial measures."
"At the same time, this also presents a new challenge for our factory: how to manufacture valve assemblies that can withstand greater stress."
"I will hold a meeting with relevant personnel in the technical department to discuss this matter."
"I guarantee that I will deliver a satisfactory result."
Xiao Liu couldn't stand it anymore.
He completely disregarded the numerous leaders present.
Since he was the customer, he immediately started cursing: "You've been talking nonsense all this time! By the time you come up with a solution, the industrial trials at Cangxi Iron Mine will be over!"
"This means that 150 projects have failed! How can I explain this to the country?!"
A flash of annoyance crossed Director Zhao's eyes.
You're just a lowly employee, how dare you yell at me?
Who do you think you are?
In terms of administrative rank, I'm miles ahead of you!
So what if you're a customer?
Ask around across the continent, and you'll find that for heavy vehicles like yours, our hydraulic components perform exceptionally well!
Other companies couldn't even make it to the factory!
But he quickly calmed down.
Getting angry with a junior makes you seem petty.
Factory Director Zhao still had a smile on his face: "The valve core problem in our hydraulic plant has left all the employees feeling very heavy-hearted, sad, and heartbroken."
"Didn't we immediately send 10 more valve cores to resolve the issue?"
"Although the solution is only temporary, please trust us, we are truly carrying out process improvements in an orderly manner."
Xiao Liu was about to get angry.
Minister Xu stopped them.
Minister Xu leaned forward and asked, "So what solutions do you have?"
"That's right," Director Zhao said, counting on his fingers. "After our factory learned about the problem, we gathered our technical staff to work through the night, striving to improve the situation. We conducted an in-depth analysis of the problems and summarized a total of 34 rectification measures, which we are actively promoting to improve the situation."
Xiao Liu said fiercely, "But your new valve core still has the same problem, which means that your improvement measures have not been implemented at all!"
Factory Director Zhao shook his head: "No, no. We implemented it, and held a workers' meeting to study the new measures in depth."
"It may be a bit slow, but it will eventually be improved."
"You—" Xiao Liu slumped into a chair in anger.
His chest heaved, clearly indicating he was extremely angry.
Xiao Liu was well aware of the efficiency levels of these companies.
