Chapter 123 Emerging
In the workshop, the roar of machines came one after another, but to the ears of Director Tan and others, it sounded like a passionate industrial symphony, playing a movement of progress.
When the workers saw their leader coming in, they did not panic, but instead focused more on the work in their hands.
The factory leaders were not there, so the workshop director Wu Zhizhao gritted his teeth and nervously led Director Tan and others on a tour.
Under the guidance of Director Wu, Director Tan witnessed up close the magical transformation process from cashmere to wool.
He stood beside the machine with great interest, his eyes filled with curiosity and concentration, carefully observing every step. As the machine whirred, the cashmere gradually changed its form through each process. Director Tan asked questions from time to time, his voice rising slightly above the roar of the machine.
"How does this carding process affect the quality of cashmere?"
Wu Zhizhao answered carefully, weighing every word over and over again. Fortunately, he didn't make any mistakes along the way.
Director Tan was very excited to see the white and soft cashmere raw materials gradually turned into wool yarn with uniform texture after a series of complex processes such as combing, spinning, and plying.
He reached out and gently touched the freshly produced wool, feeling the delicate touch, his eyes full of admiration.
"The quality of this wool is really excellent. It feels soft and the color is very pure. It has reached the international advanced level!"
Wu Zhizhao rubbed his hands together with excitement, his voice filled with unconcealed pride: "This is all the result of the hard work of Engineer Jiang and the technical team who worked day and night! We improved the carding process and also innovated the steam setting technology—"
"Where's Mr. Jiang?" Deputy Director Wang looked around and raised his voice, "Why didn't he come?"
"He should be in the conference room. If not, he must be in the laboratory debugging the new formula. I'll go call him right away!" Wu Zhizhao didn't know where Jiang Haitang was exactly, but he was ready to go look for him.
"No need, let's go directly." Director Tan raised his hand to stop them, then turned to the entourage and said, "We should take the initiative to meet with technical backbones like this."
As soon as the group walked out the door, they met Director Hu and others who came hurriedly.
Director Hu was running out of breath.
"Director Tan, Director Wang, why did you come directly to the workshop?"
"Come and take a look. You have to see it with your own eyes to make the trip worthwhile."
Director Tan laughed heartily, obviously very satisfied with everything he had just seen, and his laughter echoed outside the workshop.
"Where is Comrade Jiang Haitang?" asked Deputy Director Wang.
"Xiao Jiang!" Director Hu called out.
Jiang Haitang heard the call and walked over quickly. She was wearing a neat work uniform and had a determined and bright look in her eyes. She hurried forward to greet the two leaders: "Hello, Director Tan, Hello, Deputy Director Wang."
Jiang Haitang's voice is clear and powerful.
Director Tan extended his hand and said cordially, "Hello, Comrade Haitang. We've met before. Do you remember?"
He had a kind smile on his face.
Jiang Haitang nodded quickly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "I remember, I remember, thank you for your concern."
"We care too little about you, a good comrade who has devoted his life to the development of the factory."
After shaking hands with Jiang Haitang, Director Tan said to Director Hu, "The last time I saw her, she was injured while trying to save property. This time, she's made a huge contribution to the breakthrough in cashmere yarn, opening up a new situation for the country's foreign exchange earnings! This young comrade from your textile factory is truly invaluable!"
Being praised by Director Tan in front of so many people, Jiang Haitang's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly said, "Director Tan, this is what I should do. I don't deserve such praise. Besides, any research achievement is the result of collective wisdom."
Jiang Haitang's cheeks flushed slightly when she was praised by Director Tan in front of so many people.
She quickly said, "Director, this is what I should do, and I don't deserve your praise. Besides, any research result is the result of collective wisdom, and every colleague in the factory has put in a lot of effort."
"I heard that you are not only responsible for the cashmere yarn project here, but also participated in the research and development project of the patterned jacquard knitting machine at the machinery factory?" Director Tan asked with interest.
Jiang Haitang nodded and answered modestly, "I participated, but at the machinery factory, I only provided drawings and some ideas. The specific details were handled by other comrades."
"High-quality wool and patterned jacquard knitting machines complement each other. With good wool and advanced knitting machines, the wool sweaters produced can be more competitive in the market."
"You're right, Comrade Xiao Jiang," Director Tan said with emotion, "You're a thoughtful young comrade."
"Director Tan, we are going to apply for national model workers soon. Otherwise, why don't we nominate Comrade Jiang Haitang?" Deputy Director Wang reminded.
"Look back and see that the National March 8th Red Flag Bearer has also recommended Comrade Jiang Haitang. We must let everyone see that the organization will not forget anyone who works hard." Director Tan said in a firm tone.
Deputy Director Wang immediately agreed: "Okay, Director, I will arrange it right away and make sure this matter is implemented."
Director Hu and other leaders of the textile factory all had happy smiles on their faces.
They were sincerely happy for Jiang Haitang. In their hearts, Jiang Haitang deserved these honors. Everyone was only envious, not jealous at all.
Lu Liangchen looked at Jiang Haitang's confident look, and felt a surge of pride in his heart. His little girl was so outstanding!
"Let's go to the conference room and tell us your idea in detail," Director Tan suggested.
Standing at the door of the workshop not only delays the workers' production, but also causes cold wind to blow in continuously, which is indeed not suitable for long conversations.
Director Tan had not planned to have a discussion before, but because of Jiang Haitang’s answer just now, he felt that he should sit down and listen carefully.
It is not a coincidence that the two projects were carried out together and achieved success together.
Obviously, Comrade Jiang Haitang is a comrade with long-term plans and ideas.
In the conference room, after everyone was seated, Director Tan said affably, "Comrade Haitang, don't be nervous. Just think of it as a chat with old friends. I'd especially like to hear how you came up with the idea of promoting two projects simultaneously."
As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, showing great patience and anticipation.
Jiang Haitang gathered her thoughts briefly before speaking, "Thank you, Director Tan, for giving me this opportunity. I may have said something wrong, and I hope the leaders will correct me."
"Actually, when these two projects started, it was just an idea. That is, if the textile factory wants to expand its business, it should have new products. Based on the current advantages of the textile factory, I thought of wool sweaters..."
As she spoke, she took out the notebook she carried with her, opened it, and glanced at the densely packed records and annotations on it.
"I initially thought about the problem of mechanical equipment. After reporting this idea to Director Mao of the machinery factory, he and the factory strongly supported it. Director Mao decided to develop a patterned jacquard knitting machine."
"We discussed the market demand and technical difficulties in detail at the time, and we all felt that this project had great prospects, so we decided to do it."
"After that, I learned about the production technology of current textile mills and felt that the current wool weaving technology was still lacking. That's when I started researching cashmere yarn, hoping to achieve the softness of cashmere through a more sophisticated weaving structure."
"Our technical team conducted countless experiments and continuously adjusted the process parameters before slowly finding the optimal solution."
Deputy Director Wang interrupted, "I heard that besides being a technical backbone of the textile factory, you're also a technical backbone of the machinery factory. Director Mao said that when you came to him with the blueprints, he was so surprised!"
Good-natured laughter rang out in the conference room.
Lu Liangchen looked at Jiang Haitang, who could talk freely in front of the leader, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He watched the little girl grow up little by little.
In just a short period of time, she grew to be so outstanding, which really surprised him.
The little girl in his family always knew where to work towards and what she wanted.
She never wastes time and energy on meaningless things. Since she started working, she has devoted almost 100% of her energy to her work.
Jiang Haitang smiled. "Yes, but I need to clarify that I did obtain the blueprints, but I didn't research and draw them. I just offered a few opinions and suggestions."
"I got this drawing by chance. I thought it would be of great help to our project, so I showed it to Director Mao."
Although Director Tan really wanted to know the source of the drawings, since Jiang Haitang didn't say anything, he didn't ask any further questions.
"The patterned jacquard weaving machine is very advanced at the moment. We might even be able to earn foreign exchange at next year's Canton Fair. Furthermore, by linking our two factories, we can form a complete industrial chain from raw material processing to finished product production, which will make us even more competitive in the market."
Director Tan nodded thoughtfully. "We should also invite the leaders of the Industrial Bureau to attend today's symposium to let them understand what true industrial thinking is. We have many factories in Jincheng, but perhaps too few of them are effectively connected. When we have a meeting later, we need to let everyone listen and reflect on why we haven't been working together for coordinated development."
"Director, I suggest that we call the leaders of the Industry Department now and have them attend a meeting at the machinery factory. And at the next meeting, arrange to include this in the agenda." Deputy Director Wang said immediately.
"Have someone immediately notify the relevant departments and the leaders of several major factories to come to the machinery factory. Today we will discuss the issue of how to coordinate and develop together among the factories."
Deputy Director Wang went out to make arrangements. Director Tan then asked Jiang Haitang, "Comrade Haitang, what are your plans for the future?"
"The next step is to design some wool sweater styles and strive to have a place at the Canton Fair. We will focus on cultivating our own team of designers and research current fashion trends and market demands in Hong Kong and abroad."
"In addition, the textile factory has also made breakthroughs in woolen weaving and printing and dyeing, which has promoted the development of both textile and garment factories. We can strengthen cooperation with garment factories, share resources, and jointly develop more high-quality products."
"That's a good idea, Lao Hu. Comrade Jiang Haitang is the treasure of your textile factory!"
Director Hu, who had been silent all this time, seized the opportunity and spoke immediately.
