Chapter 500: Changes in the Machinery Factory 2
500 Machinery Factory Changes 2
Director Wu nodded happily and said yes repeatedly. Their factory has not been doing well in recent years, and every time they come to a meeting they are mocked and ridiculed by the directors of factories with better performance.
Whenever he talked about this with the old director of the Faxing Machinery Factory, he was always extremely worried.
No matter how bad the factory's performance is, we must find ways to make it better. We can't just sit back and do nothing. But they tried everything they could, but still failed to turn the situation around.
When he heard from his cousin that their Faxing Factory would not have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, he was surprised. He thought about attending this meeting to ask the old factory director, who was on good terms with him, if there were any new opportunities and to share some soup with their factory.
Now, after listening to the deputy factory director's words, he knew that he was willing to cooperate with them. He was very happy and couldn't wait for the meeting to start and end immediately.
The other factory managers saw the two of them whispering and wanted to mock them, as they were the two last-place factories. But when they heard that the man was the deputy factory manager, they lost interest in mocking him, as they felt it would lower their status.
This actually made Director Wu of Xi County secretly happy, as he was afraid that other directors would come and snatch the business from him.
He waited for the year-end summary meeting to end with great difficulty, and immediately invited the deputy factory director to dinner. They went to the guesthouse and finally negotiated the cooperation between the two factories and signed a contract. Director Wu's factory helps Faxing Machinery Factory produce various types of parts, and sends them to Faxing Machinery Factory as soon as they produce a batch.
Director Wu saw that there were so many parts written in the contract that even if the whole factory worked in two shifts day and night, they would still have work to do until next spring. The deputy director also told him that after this batch of parts was produced, if they could ensure the quality and quantity, there would be new parts for them to produce.
The two factory managers reached a cooperation agreement quietly amid the boasting of others. Factory Manager Wu was no longer bothered by the contemptuous looks of others at this meeting. On the contrary, he was secretly proud of himself. "Hmph, you guys who look down on others will know who will be the last one next year. Don't you know that things change over time? Don't laugh at the poor for wearing tattered clothes?"
After the year-end summary meeting, Director Wu returned to the Xi County factory and immediately convened a factory-wide meeting to tell the workers that their factory would not have New Year holidays and would work in two shifts every day.
The cadres and employees of their factory were all very happy and were not unhappy about not having a holiday for the New Year.
Employee A said: "I have been terrified for the past few years, fearing that the factory would close one day. Now I am finally relieved."
Employee B said: "Thank God, I finally have work to do."
Employee C said: "The factory manager said that if this batch of goods is well made, we will have more to do in the future. If it is not well made, they will not give us any more."
Employee Ding said: "We should do our best. No one should be careless. We should supervise each other. We should not let the failure of one person harm the whole factory."
Director Wu felt very relieved when listening to the discussions of his employees.
Deputy Director Hao of Faxing Machinery Factory completed the task assigned by Director Ziyi. After returning to the factory, he changed the parts production workshop into an assembly workshop, and the entire factory worked at full capacity to produce tilling machines.
After the Chinese New Year and before the spring ploughing began, Deputy Director Hao went to see the county magistrate again and handed him a report written by Director Ziyi.
Ziyi wrote about the advantages of the two new types of tilling machines in his report and also suggested that for villages that have no money to buy them, they can buy them in installments, but the interest will be calculated according to the bank rate.
The county magistrate was overjoyed when he saw them, and went to the Faxing Machinery Factory in person to see the two new types of tilling machines. I also tried it myself and found it really easy to use. It is fast, cheaper than plowing the fields with oxen, and saves manpower.
Another type of four-wheel tiller is faster and easier to operate than a tractor tiller. It also has the advantage that in addition to tilling the fields, it can do other things like a truck, such as transporting harvested rice, wheat, fertilizer and other things, and can be used all year round.
The county magistrate immediately adopted Ziyi's proposal and summoned cadres from various communes to personally experience the benefits of using tillers to plow the fields.
So, the commune cadres went back and called on the village cadres to buy new tillage machines and told them that they could pay in installments.
The village cadres saw the benefits of this new type of tiller. Those who had money bought it with cash, while those who did not had money bought it in installments.
The new tillage machines produced by Faxing Machinery Factory after working overtime were sold out.
All of this was within Ziyi's prediction. As long as the problem of money to buy the machines was solved, those villages that originally had no money to buy them would take the opportunity to purchase them.
Ziyi and Yike came back from Xiangcheng, but they didn't even go back to Taoyuan Village. He asked Tang Jianguo to personally escort those scientific research talents back to Taoyuan Village, while the two of them immediately went back to the machinery factory.
When they returned to the machinery factory, they saw a busy production line and workers who were tired but smiling. Their worried hearts finally settled down and they were no longer panicked.
What they fear most is that while they are fighting outside, there will be chaos in the rear. Fortunately, what they worried about did not happen.
When the deputy factory director and Secretary Liu saw Ziyi and his companions coming back with such an advanced production line, they were so happy that they cried.
Ziyi asked the engineers to assemble the equipment and be ready for use at any time.
The deputy director said, "Director, there isn't enough factory space?"
Ziyi then realized that he had not noticed this problem. He had expanded production years ago, and now he needed to expand the production line, which meant he had to expand the factory.
Ziyi, like Yike, began to miss his previous life. There was no need for him to deal with small matters like the factory. He just had to give a word and someone would naturally do it.
"Engineer Li, go and install it first and see if there is anything that needs repair. After all, it has been transported such a long distance." Ziyi said to the engineer in the factory.
Then he said to Secretary Liu: "Secretary, can you please ask the higher authorities to recruit some skilled graduates from the schools? We need some skilled personnel for our new products."
Secretary Liu asked, "What are you going to produce?" Ziyi said, "We are going to produce something called solar panels. However, this must be kept secret until it is produced."
Secretary Liu, the deputy factory director and the engineers were all stunned for a moment. They understood batteries, but when it came to solar energy, they didn't quite understand, and they didn't dare to understand.
Li Gong couldn't help but ask: "Does it mean literally?"
Ziyi nodded and said affirmatively: "It means exactly what it says. I will explain the details to you separately. Now we need to expand the factory first. Before the factory is built, we can find other manufacturers to produce some unimportant parts."
The deputy factory director said: "We are now cooperating with Xixian Machinery Factory. The parts they help us produce are of very good quality. We can continue to cooperate with them."
