The laboratory of the vehicle factory was very noisy. An engine was working on the experimental bench, and technicians were conducting nervous experiments. A technician hurried over and shouted at Professor Xu who was checking the experimental data.
"General Engineer Xu, Director Zhu is here."
"Who? Xiao Zhu?" Professor Xu put down the data and asked loudly, and the technician nodded.
Professor Xu turned to look outside the laboratory. Zhou Wenwen was walking over with Zhu Xuefeng. Professor Xu adjusted his glasses and went out.
In the office, the two of them were communicating about the progress of the car project. During this period, in order to complete the thesis and prepare for the exam, they have not been paying attention for a while. I only know that the progress is going smoothly, but I don’t know the specific progress. Lou Xiaoe sent letters to him several times asking him to go to the vehicle factory to share the joy of the initial results, but he refused.
“This is it now. The overall progress is going smoothly. We can’t believe it. A brand-new design has not had any major problems so far. It is much smoother than the truck. It seems that we don’t have to wait until the National Day. We have "Confidence to complete it ahead of schedule."
Zhu Xuefeng could only smile. He had reviewed Xiangjiang's Yinyun truck many times and referred to a large number of mature designs. Of course, it would go smoothly. There were no successful truck models at that time. For his reference, this car is even better than the Silver Cloud in terms of performance, not to mention its appearance, which draws on the appearance of later B-class cars, making it even more majestic and novel.
"Well, it seems that I can give an explanation to Factory Director Yang before I leave, so that he won't blame me later."
Although the news that Zhu Xuefeng is going to study abroad has not spread Come on, now only Shazhu and his wife know about it in the compound. Professor Xu of course already knows about Lou Xiao'e's presence.
“Don’t worry about this, I will definitely allow you to study abroad with ease. It’s just a pity that you can’t keep up with those experiments on engineering vehicles.”
"With you here, there will definitely be no problem. Your small team has been working hard to achieve the success of two models. It will definitely be no problem to take over the engineering vehicle. The requirements there are not as high as this small car."
The requirements for small cars are naturally the highest. Xu Classroom’s small team can overcome the small defects and problems, and engineering vehicles will naturally not be a problem for them.
"By the way, I have good news for you." When Professor Xu saw Zhu Xuefeng, he wanted to share the joy of success. These were the results of many discussions between the two of them, and he couldn't help but share them.
Although the trucks of the rolling mill were disappointed at the Canton Fair, in the selection of logistics equipment in June, they won the favor of the final assembly because of their excellent performance, strong power and ease of operation. The final assembly was directly It is required that within the next two years, the steel rolling mill will provide no less than 800 trucks per year, and will continue to expand procurement in the future to gradually complete the replacement of old and dilapidated trucks seized before liberation.
The Ministry of Machinery Industry has also received the news. Not long ago, it visited the factory together with the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Commerce, and finally made a decision to reduce the import of medium-sized trucks from Daye and replace them with diesel trucks from the steel rolling mill, which can save a lot of money. Foreign exchange, while requiring steel rolling mills to continue designing more powerful heavy-duty trucks and striving to replace imported heavy-duty trucks, which is now required to be no less than 400 units per year.
"Such a large quantity? Our factory can't build dozens of vehicles a month now, right? The final assembly has given us all the orders? Where's FAW? Where's Huanghe?"
"Give them all to us. It’s too much to bear. This is what the leaders and the ministry personally interviewed. FAW seems to have 600 vehicles, which is 200 less than last year. The Yellow River is more affected. Like us, the diesel vehicles they choose to send seem to only get 200. The orders for vehicles were also 200 less than last year. They originally planned to make a turnaround this year and surpass FAW, or at least catch up with FAW. Unexpectedly, the original tasks were cut in half.”
Zhu Xuefeng can only express regret for what happened to the Yellow River. Who made the steel rolling mill choose a diesel engine for the first model? When the gasoline engine truck is unveiled next year, it is estimated that FAW will also be affected.
"Gong Xu, you have to worry about the other types of trucks behind here, including dump trucks and heavy-duty trucks. I will go to the Materials Research Institute to have a look later. If everything goes well, I will do it again here. I have to go out to do errands in a few days.”
Professor Xu patted Zhu Xuefeng gently, “It’s good to be at home for a long time, but it’s hard to go out for a while. It’s also good to make more preparations. By the way, I heard you. I am going to study abroad in East Germany. My brother-in-law studied in Germany. Do you want me to take you to meet him? You seem to have borrowed his information. By the way, you can also ask Xiaona to take him to meet Xiaona. Don’t you know Xiaona? ”
Because of his relationship with Xia Yuhong, although no one at the vehicle factory knew about it, with Director Xia and Professor Xu here, Zhu Xuefeng still didn't dare to reveal his relationship with Lin Na, for fear of a collision, so he was hesitant.
"Lin Na took me there. Professor Lin talked a lot with me and introduced some elders. I will visit them one by one."
Professor Lin told Zhu Xuefeng that he and Xu Although the teacher is back, more students studying abroad have chosen to wait and see and have not returned to China. These people are spread across various industries such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and electronics. It is a pity to be floating abroad. Let Zhu Xuefeng visit them one by one when he goes to study abroad. Let’s see if we can persuade some of them to come back and build a home together.
"Well, that's good. I'll wait for you to return from your studies. Then we will design more suitable vehicles together. However, since you are free these days, don't visit the Materials Research Institute. Come over if you have time. Let’s talk about heavy-duty trucks. This requires a large engine and is a challenge.”
“Sure, please apply for a heavy-duty truck first and let us refer to it.”
Seeing Zhu Xuefeng agree, Chief Engineer Xu was also happy, "Sure, I will go to the leader and ask Director Yang to come forward on this matter. This matter should not be difficult for him."
"Professor Xu, are you right? Should we go to Director Xia first and let him go to Director Yang?”
Professor Xu was stunned and asked doubtfully, “What difference does this make? Director Yang comes here almost every day now. I have repeatedly told you to ask if you have any difficulties. Isn’t this considered a difficulty? Can’t you find him?”
Zhu Xuefeng was speechless and could only nod, “Okay, of course. If he comes here often, it would be more convenient to find him.”
The Director Yang they were talking about was worrying in the conference room at this time. He lit up a cigarette in the meeting room. There were also other factory leaders such as the secretary, Deputy Director Jiang, Deputy Director Xia and others present. Several key workshop directors. The main problem is that the new tasks greatly exceed the existing capabilities of the steel rolling mill. Starting from March, the steel rolling mill has undertaken a large number of confidential equipment processing tasks. It is said that they are equipment for a large-scale foreign exchange-earning project. This cannot be ambiguous, and the requirement is September Delivered and shipped to Tianjin Port for shipment.
The steel rolling mill has carried out a mobilization and production capacity deployment. With the strong cooperation of the employees, the task should be completed on time. However, now it has received a large order from the general assembly and machinery department. This is too difficult. Old There was nothing Xia could do. Now the vehicle factory had to complete a new production line to ensure truck production.
The current capacity can only barely reach the monthly production capacity of 30 vehicles, but the plan is to produce no less than 100 vehicles per month, and may continue to expand in the future. Lao Xia said, even if he clicks, he will be squeezed. Because we did not have such a large production capacity, we were criticized by the secretary for having an improper attitude.
The atmosphere in the whole meeting became weird. The secretary lectured loudly about the determination to overcome difficulties but could not come up with a specific and effective plan. This made the old man of the steel rolling mill extremely disgusted. He followed the previous leaders. He is a down-to-earth leader who does things down-to-earth and doesn't appreciate leaders who talk too much but don't have any constructive opinions.
"Lao Yang, according to me, under the current conditions, with the existing equipment and personnel, we simply cannot triple our production capacity in a short time. Workers are not machines, even if they work 24 hours a day Even if we don’t do it, we won’t be able to meet the above requirements.” Seeing the deathly silence in the venue, Director Sun of the third workshop was the first to speak. With his experience in Xiangjiang, although his position has not changed, he is already the most vocal among all the workshop directors. The right one.
Secretary Liu was a little dissatisfied, but he still looked at Director Sun and said calmly, "Old Sun, you are also an old party member. I don't need to mention the importance of these tasks. You also know that they are not only related to the country. The construction of key projects is also directly related to national defense and the combat effectiveness of our troops. Needless to say, these are useless words. Think more about how we can complete the task and deserve the trust of the party."
Lao Sun did not. Paying attention to Secretary Liu's attitude, "That's what I'm talking about. This is a fact. Since we can't complete the task even if we are exhausted, we can't just focus on ourselves. Why can't we look for help from outside."
"Wait. Wait, Lao Sun, let me remind you that the reason why this glorious task can be assigned to the steel rolling mill is because the organization trusts us. The General Assembly and Machinery Department gave us the task because they trust us, not other units. You are What do you want to do? "
Secretary Liu's attitude became very serious. For him, this is a big deal, and Lao Sun is not allowed to look at it. If the product needs help from other units, can this product still be regarded as a product of the steel rolling mill?
"The superiors are interested in the products of the steel rolling mill. This is very important. The products cannot be produced by other units. This is a red line! We must be worthy of the trust of the organization and cannot cheat below." Secretary Liu Hei After expressing his position with a straight face, the conference room was filled with whispers. After thinking about it for a while, Lao Yang decided to speak.
"Secretary, I have a different opinion when you say this. This is assistance, not deception. The automobile project is inherently a large project with multi-system collaboration. It is impossible for the steel rolling mill to complete it by itself. I think this is not only for you, but also for everyone here. We all know it."
Lao Sun's suggestion suddenly opened up Director Yang's mind and gave him a new idea, but the red line drawn by Secretary Liu was a very inappropriate shackle.
Secretary Liu blushed. In his hurry, he forgot that the truck project was originally a collaborative project between multiple units. He was at a disadvantage for a while, but he wanted him to personally deny the red line he had just vowed to draw. That is absolutely impossible.
“Everyone, be quiet and listen to my thoughts. Lao Sun’s suggestion just now inspired me. Our truck can stand out, which is beyond the surprise of many people. In everyone’s eyes, technical ability is the most important. The truck with the most powerful diesel engine is the Yellow River Truck. This is true. In fact, the General Logistics Department also admitted that their trucks have made many breakthroughs compared to last year.”
At this time, everyone here could tell. Director Yang's words were more than what he meant. He wanted to unite Jinan Automobile Factory for production. It was indeed a good idea. Jinan Automobile Factory suffered a setback this year. The workload was only half of the previous one. It had all kinds of equipment and skilled workers, and the technical capabilities were sufficient.
“Do you want to cooperate with Huanghe Che?” Secretary Liu asked in disbelief, and Director Yang nodded.
“They have equipment, technology, workers, halved tasks, and production capacity. As long as they produce in strict accordance with our drawings and technical requirements, and accept and assess according to our quality requirements, they will definitely achieve and We have the same performance to meet the needs of the General Logistics Department and the First Machinery Department.”
Lao Yang’s explanation made the venue abuzz again, but it did not let Secretary Liu relax. Secretary Liu lowered his head and spoke lightly. He gently scraped the floating tea leaves with the lid of the cup. After a while, he raised his head and raised his doubts.
"If the other party has this kind of strength, why is the performance of the Yellow River trucks produced by us far inferior to ours? Lao Yang, I understand your feelings, but you can't act too hastily. If such a big thing collapses, we will all bear the responsibility. If you can't afford this responsibility, you should be cautious and let the vehicle factory think of a solution. It would be better for other workshops of the main factory to provide human support. "
"Secretary, our vehicle factory thinks the factory director's idea is a good one. Let's compare it. What they excel at is the precision of new equipment, the design team, and a complete set of experimental assessment and verification mechanisms. The technical ability and proficiency of the workers should not be as good as those of old truck production workers.”
Secretary Liu narrowed his eyes and did not express his position, but Deputy Secretary Gu spoke, "Lao Xia, it is our tradition to face difficulties and to retreat when faced with difficulties is not our style. Now you alone can represent thousands of people in the vehicle factory." Workers? Like the Secretary, I believe in the consciousness of our comrades, and that we, the working class, can overthrow these three mountains. With this pressure, I don’t think our comrades will take the initiative to admit defeat, so I suggest that you should follow the Secretary’s instructions. Demand, further mobilize the masses to complete the glorious tasks assigned by superiors."
Secretary Liu nodded invisibly, and Deputy Secretary Gu spoke. The effect was much better than if he had done it himself. This old Xia was also an alarmist. , he looked down upon the one-sided exaggeration of difficulties, but he was still a master of production organization? He gives up under a little pressure and fails to cultivate the organization.
Deputy Factory Director Jiang, who originally wanted to speak, hesitated for a moment when Secretary Gu opened his mouth, but finally closed his mouth silently. Deputy Director Liu, who was in charge of administration, closed his eyes without saying a word, did not participate in the debate, and looked like he was staying out of the matter.
Many cadres who stood up to speak had no choice but to sit down again when Deputy Secretary Gu said this, and the venue fell into silence again.
Lao Yang was very angry. According to his idea, he wanted to say directly, "The leaders and departments related to production will stay, and the others will leave the meeting." But he couldn't say this. Although he was in charge of production, the top leader was secretary.
“Secretary, let me see it this way. According to your opinion, we will focus on tapping internal potential and contact Jinan Automobile Factory for cooperation as an alternative. To be prepared, we will come up with two sets of plans. The alternative plan will be decided by the vehicle factory. As for the plan of tapping internal affairs potential and mobilizing the enthusiasm of employees, since Deputy Secretary Gu has great ideas and she is also responsible for employees’ thinking, how about letting her plan it?”
