These individuals were all quite old; only three of them were rehired to work at the machinery factory after retirement.
Wang Dehai, a level 8 fitter; Liu Chuanxing, a level 8 forger; Meng Jiafei, a level 8 riveter; and Zhou Qi, a level 8 welder who has not yet retired.
Xing Baohua had heard of two people when he was working at the machinery factory, but there were actually four who were truly remarkable.
Xing Baohua had only met Master Zhou Qi; he had only heard of the others. Back then, they were all capable people and legendary figures in the factory.
They were hailed as the four kings of the machinery factory.
It's just that Xing Baohua didn't work hard at the machinery factory, otherwise he would have had the chance to meet some of the master craftsmen.
Don't let their age fool you, these people are incredibly skilled.
Xing Baohua personally shook hands with him and offered him cigarettes and tea.
After exchanging a few polite words, Xing Baohua introduced the situation of the car factory. In order to produce a prototype car, the production line and large equipment are not yet in place, so they can only use the old method of manual manufacturing, and bring out the spirit of when we used to hammer small hammers.
Of course, it's not about asking them to do anything themselves; they can just talk to them from the sidelines.
Provide guidance and control over the data and dimensions.
These are all valuable assets! We can't just let them do the work; we'll just pass on their experience and knowledge.
Xing Baohua promised to provide her with the same compensation and benefits as a current senior engineer.
Two years ago, the eight-grade wage system was abolished and replaced by a structural wage system, and the status of the eight-grade worker gradually disappeared from the historical stage.
Level 8 not only represented status at the time, but also high salary and the highest technical level in the country.
With these people around, Xing Baohua felt relieved. After seeing the four experienced craftsmen off, Xing Baohua asked Director Liu how he had managed to invite them.
"I assured them that as long as they come out of retirement, the electronics factory will give their family members a place," Director Liu said with a smile.
Xing Baohua said with a smile, "Let's use the same trick. Use the name of the car factory to find people from the machinery factory. It's a joint venture run by the city, and the benefits are unbeatable. Just say it was my idea. Recruit, recruit three to five hundred people first."
The machinery factory is already in that state; having so many people idle isn't a solution. Recruiting people would help lighten the burden on the municipal machinery factory.
Xing Baohua was unaware that Director Liu's poaching campaign nearly emptied the city's machinery factory of its talent pool.
The former office director knew very well who the best and most capable people were. Coupled with Xing Baohua's celebrity boss effect, countless people wanted to work for him.
After learning about the situation, the director of the municipal machinery factory, together with the machinery bureau, went to file a complaint. They all ended up complaining to Wei Laisong.
How can we help them make decisions?
This guy is practically inseparable from Xing Baohua, yet he still speaks up for the municipal machinery factory?
A factory on the verge of collapse can outperform the emerging automotive industry.
Wei Laisong is still considering whether to merge the machinery factory into the automobile factory.
When I thought about how many people were working at the municipal machinery factory, I had second thoughts.
Wei Laisong reassured the Machinery Bureau and the Machinery Factory, saying that when the automobile factory was established, it would need a lot of machinery and equipment, and that they would be given some orders so that the profits would not go to outsiders.
With just a few words and a few promises, they managed to lure the machinery factory back.
After everyone left, he immediately called Xing Baohua: "I'm telling you, can't we stop trying to fleece you from just one company? There are so many companies in the city, enough for you to choose from. Why do you have to send all the people from the machinery factory to you?"
Xing Baohua chuckled and said, "We're familiar with the machinery factory, so it'll be easy to get started. By the way, we can't let the people we recruit sit idle. My idea is that we find a school or venue, set up a training course, and train the workers first."
“Okay. You’re the chairman, you handle it. I’ll assist you.” Wei Laisong said.
With this person speaking up, it's much easier to ask for venues or supplies.
Although the car factory is not yet fully built, a temporary team has been organized.
There are temporary departments as needed, and most of the staff are seconded from various units to help out, some of whom are of high rank.
Xing Baohua instructed his secretariat to buy a car.
I need imported cars, any brand.
We need both large and small vehicles, buses and vans.
This guy is planning to open an auto repair school.
Car manufacturers also need to provide after-sales service for the cars they produce. While waiting for the cars, they should first open a car repair shop in each city.
Once conditions are right, the equipment will be recycled and used for after-sales service at 4S stores.
The West German design institute arrived, and after receiving them, we went directly to inspect the site.
After inspecting the site, they presented the existing design drawings for Xing Baohua and his team to choose from.
In order to save time, no design style was considered, and construction was carried out directly according to the existing blueprints.
First, lay the underground pipelines, then build the foundation and ground, and finally construct the entire steel structure. As long as the steel supply is secured, the workshop can be completed in a month and a half.
This calculation is based on the construction schedule in West Germany, not our incredible speed.
Xing Baohua felt that a month was about right, since they work an eight-hour day there, while here we work from dawn till dusk, usually around 10-11 hours a day.
Wei Laisong assigned a steel structure company to undertake the project; since it was through his connections, Xing Baohua had no say in the matter.
In fact, Xing Baohua knew him too. He had drunk with the steel structure boss in the capital. At that time, Wei Laisong asked Xing Baohua to host a banquet for some of his friends.
Wei Laisong gave his close friend a chance to make money, and no one could say anything about it.
Xing Baohua only required two things: the construction period and the quality; he wouldn't concern himself with anything else.
With Wei Laisong patting his chest and assuring him that there was no problem and he could rest assured, what could Xing Baohua say?
While the workshop was being leveled, Overeicht arrived with his team of more than a dozen retrained workers.
However, Shen Jie has not yet invited those master craftsmen who handcraft cars.
