Chapter 1351 Trust

Three days later.

Red Star Steel Plant.

Yang Xiaotao was wearing a safety helmet, his whole body was soaked with sweat, but his eyes were fixed on the converter in front of him.

"Boss Yang, this is what we built according to the design plan given by the research institute!"

Guan Zhiyong also wiped the sweat off his face and kept explaining the machine in front of him.

An Zhongsheng nodded beside him, sweat dripped down his cheeks to his chin, and when he shook it off, there was a patch of water on the ground.

And here, it can only be regarded as the second line, but it is already so hot. You can imagine how hard the workers on the front line are.

"What is the current output?"

"Now it is in the initial production, and it can produce about half a ton a day. When the workers are skilled, and some equipment is added, it will not be a problem to produce one ton a day."

An Zhongsheng calculated and answered, but Yang Xiaotao was not satisfied with it.

"It's still too little."

"Let me calculate for you. Now, let's not talk about anything else. The air conditioners produced by the machinery factory need aluminum alloy as frames. In addition, new rice cookers will also use aluminum alloy."

"This is very important to us."

"With this ton of output, less than 1,000 kilograms can be left for the machinery factory. What's the use of this?"

"At least the output must be quadrupled. Follow this goal!"

Yang Xiaotao gave the minimum value, and several people looked solemn.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao explained, "We are the only factory in China that produces aluminum alloys now."

"Now all walks of life need aluminum alloys. In the past two days, not to mention other things, even the calls from our First Machinery Department have not stopped."

"What's more, there are other departments, including some special departments, and we can't refuse them."

Everyone looked at each other. They also learned about the situation of aluminum alloys in China, but they didn't expect it to be so urgently needed.

"Mr. Yang, if you want to expand production, you must first solve the problem of raw materials."

An Zhongsheng began to raise questions. This is also because he and Yang Xiaotao have worked together for a long time and understand each other's temperament.

If there are difficulties, we should talk about them. Once the difficulties are solved, we should complete the task.

"Also, there is a lack of professional personnel in each process. Now the people in the institute are doing two jobs, and there are always mistakes."

"Yes, and this environment. Six people had heatstroke the day before yesterday. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no safety accidents occurred. We are now working in three shifts, so the efficiency is naturally not improved."

Li Lei, Li Junming and others also talked about it.

Yang Xiaotao walked to the shade, the air was still hot, but it was not as hot as before.

"What's wrong with the raw materials? Didn't we contact the place of origin?"

Guan Zhiyong took out a cigarette and several people lit it.

"Mr. Yang, the raw materials we received now are all alumina. We have to obtain it first before we can use it."

"This adds another process, and the efficiency is low..."

"Alumina?"

Yang Xiaotao frowned. He had previously asked the First Ministry of Machinery for raw materials, but he didn't expect this to happen.

The aluminum alloy process he obtained used aluminum, but there was no pre-treatment.

"How to deal with alumina?"

An Zhongsheng stepped forward, "The current international method is to use electricity, two electrodes of direct current, to melt and electrolyze alumina, and then obtain aluminum."

"Unless you use pure bauxite, you can only use this method."

"Where is the bauxite from?"

"We are using Gongxian now!"

"Then ask for more!"

After hearing this, Guan Zhiyong coughed, "Mr. Yang, now the bauxite is under the jurisdiction of the metallurgical industry!"

Yang Xiaotao was silent after hearing this.

He didn't know much about some things, but from the establishment of the United Star Research Institute, it can be seen that Mr. Huang of the First Ministry of Machinery is obviously going to start a new business.

And in fact, this is also the case. Not only Mr. Huang, but also the Second Ministry of Machinery has a separate smelter.

After all, metallurgy has been seriously injured after the last boiler explosion.

Without strong support from the country, it will take several years to recover.

Even so, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that this is the last property of the alloy, and it must be held in hand!

"I'll go and coordinate this matter later!"

"If it doesn't work, think of a way to get electrolytic aluminum!"

Guan Zhiyong nodded.

"Let's talk about the personnel issue. Do you have any ideas?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at several people and finally fixed his eyes on An Zhongsheng.

After all, he was also a person who had been in the metallurgical steelmaking circle.

"Well, Mr. Yang, there must be a lot of talents in the metallurgical field."

"In recent years, most of the graduates of metallurgical colleges have been assigned there."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes, "Of course I know, but don't you know that colleagues are enemies? What's more, you are poaching people?"

An Zhongsheng smiled bitterly, "This is the best way. For the rest, you can only cultivate them yourself!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything else.

It takes time to cultivate talents.

What they lack is time.

Everyone changed the topic and saw the hot work site. If you want to solve the environmental problems, you have to work hard in the machinery factory!

Yang Xiaotao then focused his attention on Liu Wei who came with him.

Everyone looked at him, and he was tall and thin, with a silly smile on his face.

"Director Liu, tell me!"

Liu Wei put away his smile and took a step forward.

Ever since the news of the establishment of the fifth workshop came out, the deputy directors of the workshops have been staring at this piece of fat meat.

Before the workshops were merged, there were eleven workshops and eleven workshop directors.

Everyone is at the same level, so there is no comparison.

At most, the workshop director will be proud of the excellent work of the workshop.

But now, there are four workshops, and the difference in performance is immediately reflected.

The workshop director with good performance becomes the director, the average one becomes the deputy, and the poor one is not even the director, and can only keep the iron rice bowl of the worker and go to the workshop to swing the hammer.

Didn’t you see that Guo Da Piezi has been swinging the hammer?

So after the workshops were merged, several directors did not dare to fool around like before, especially since the machinery factory was getting better and better. Everyone knew the principle that rising tide lifts all boats, and there was no reason not to fight.

He performed outstandingly in the workshop, which caught Yang Xiaotao’s eye. When selecting personnel, he was promoted to workshop director again.

He presided over the production of air conditioners.

For him, this emerging industry is both a challenge and an opportunity.

It is Yang Xiaotao’s trust in him!

And he has been following Yang Xiaotao to understand the work these two days. It can be said that Yang Xiaotao is both his superior and his guide.

Regardless of age, the first to succeed comes first.

"Hello, comrades."

Liu Wei calmed down. After all, he had been a director and had seen big scenes, so he quickly got into the role.

"Before coming, General Manager Yang had considered the production environment problems of the steel plant. The newly established air-conditioning workshop in our machinery plant is to solve the problem!"

"According to General Manager Yang's requirements, we will install large air conditioners in special areas, and at the same time, water cooling devices will be built in other areas..."

Liu Wei told Yang Xiaotao what he had discussed with him before, and Guan Zhiyong and others present nodded with satisfaction.

They tried the air conditioner on the truck of the machinery plant, and the effect was really good.

If it was moved here, it would definitely work.

Leaving Liu Wei to discuss the installation of air conditioners with Guan Zhiyong, Yang Xiaotao took Lou Xiao'e away from the steel plant and rushed back to the machinery plant.

"Xiao Tao!"

Back in the office, Yang Xiaotao had just drunk two jars of boiled water when he saw Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning walk in together.

"Lao Liu, Lao Yang!"

The two sat down and asked about the steel plant.

Regarding the production of aluminum alloy, Yang Xiaotao briefly explained. As for the raw material problem, the two were helpless and could only report the situation to the First Ministry of Machinery, leaving Huang Lao and others to worry about it.

Of course, they had no idea whether they could solve it or not, and electrolytic aluminum still had to be started.

Let's prepare for both.

However, the electricity consumption of steel plants is also a problem.

There are not many generators in China now, and most of them are used in industry.

The two talked for a while, and then got to the point.

Regarding the adjustment of work.

After this period of discussion, personnel adjustment and task arrangement, the adjustment of the machinery factory is now finalized!

"The meeting will be held tomorrow. Do you have anything to add?"

Yang Youning looked at the documents on the table, memorized the general content, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"Other things are fine. But I need to confirm with Captain Liang about security and protection work."

"Especially the second branch."

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning looked at each other, and it was obvious that Yang Xiaotao attached great importance to the second factory.

Yang Xiaotao saw that the two were suspicious and did not say it clearly.

The old man's instructions when he left last time were actually to let him use his "authority" to save some people when necessary.

Let alone how to save them, at least stay away from the vortex.

Only in this way can we take good care of them.

Therefore, the second factory is crucial.

"Okay, you and Captain Liang can make your own decisions. We fully support this side."

Liu Huaimin said, and left with Yang Youning. Yang Xiaotao sat for a while, and then said to Lou Xiaoe, "Xiaoe, go to the second workshop to see the improvement of the machine tools!"

Lou Xiaoe was stunned, then understood, nodded and said yes, then left the office and closed the door.

Yang Xiaotao lit a cigarette, then looked at the time, eleven o'clock in the morning.

Northwest Second Factory.

Everyone started a busy day.

The scorching sun has not risen yet, and the temperature has risen to an uncomfortable level.

However, for everyone who has been accustomed to this kind of weather, this is nothing.

"Lao Wang, what are you eating for lunch today?"

Among the walking workers, Yan Jiefang shouted at the cabinet Lao Wang who was pushing a cart out to purchase.

The people in the same group around were all shouting and laughing, only Liu Haizhong, who was following behind, was dragging his feet, looking sleepy and unwilling.

After coming here, Liu Haizhong's body, which was originally comparable to Jia Zhangshi, shrank rapidly, especially because he ate less and had more good food. After getting older, he couldn't hold on any longer.

Now, he has become second-rate in the group.

If it weren't for his ability as a seventh-level blacksmith, he would have gone to the side to reclaim wasteland with his enthusiasm!

This was also the decision made by Director Hong after he took office. The family members of the factory gathered together to reclaim wasteland. Although the land here is not fertile, the salt-alkali-resistant corn that Director Hong got grew well, relieving food pressure.

"Yan Jiefang, you are the one who is impatient!"

Lao Wang sat in the carriage, holding a pipe in his hand, and smiled happily when he saw Yan Jiefang.

This young man is good at socializing, eloquent, and the key is that he is also a hard-working person. Many people in the northwest asked people to talk about relationships and wanted to marry their daughters there.

I heard that he lives in the same courtyard with the big shots of the machinery factory. Maybe he will return to Beijing in a few years.

By then...

"Pork stewed with potatoes! Go buy meat!"

Lao Wang shouted, and the workers around him immediately became excited.

Because, there is pork for lunch!

Since Director Hong took office, the welfare of the machinery factory has not been reduced at all. Although transportation is inconvenient, the money and tickets are sufficient.

In addition, the tractors, tricycles and engines produced by the second branch are already the leading enterprises in the northwest.

Nowadays, people who want to come in as workers are scrambling.

Even the newly merged steel mill and chemical plant have a lot of people who want to join.

If it weren't for Director Hong's strict control, the staff of the second branch would at least double now.

"Otherwise, our Director Hong is capable!"

Several people walked towards the factory with a smile.

"Let's go, get started!"

"Build the revolution, start with me!"

Yan Jiefang shouted, and the high-spirited voice came from behind him.

At this moment, in the office.

Director Hong sat alone in front of the chair with the phone in his hand.

"Is the matter so serious?"

On the other end of the phone, Yang Xiaotao hummed.

"You don't know if you're not in the city. Now when I get home from get off work, starting from elementary school, there are also those junior high school students..."

The more he listened, the tighter his brows tightened. His fingers grasped the pencil on the table, and his knuckles turned white.

"Old Hong, that's what the chief said."

"Right now, your place is the last way out."

"You're the only one I can trust!"

Yang Xiaotao's voice was low but full of affirmation.

For a moment, Director Hong felt touched by being trusted.

Recalling his own experience, he didn't meet Yang Xiaotao. Maybe he is still herding cattle and donkeys in a village.

"Boss Yang, don't worry, I'll take care of this place for you!"

Hearing Director Hong's assurance, Yang Xiaotao laughed on the other end of the phone, and then they hung up.
