Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 394: Spreading rumors?

First, the development of science and technology must solve the problems of food, clothing and housing for the general public.

At present, all disciplines should give priority to serving the development of agriculture.

Systematically solve various problems in increasing agricultural production.

The second point is to establish a complete industrial modernization system.

Improve existing scientific and technological levels and develop emerging industries.

The third point is that we must initially acquire cutting-edge national defense technology.

Fourth, strengthen the investigation of national resources and provide necessary mineral resources for national construction.

Fifth, prevent and protect people’s health.

Sixth, vigorously cultivate talents in various disciplines.

After returning home and having dinner, Chen Changan wrote out six suggestions in no time.

At first glance, such a simple report does seem a bit perfunctory.

But after reading the content, it is hard to say anything else. Anyway, Chen Changan himself thinks these points are very important.

After all, I am just an advisor to the committee and I am just offering suggestions.

Even though there is a lot of noise in the committee, the real decision-making power does not lie with them.

Even if you win the argument at the meeting, so what? If the higher-ups don't approve, you won't get paid.

It still makes you lose your temper.

Even early the next morning, Chen Changan asked Hou Mingjun to help him deliver the report to the department.

I went directly to the factory and started drawing car engine drawings.

Just a few days later, Hou Mingjun came to Chen Changan's office with a newspaper.

"Director Chen, you are still awesome. Did you see the speech made by the senior leader at the National People's Congress?

We must build China into a strong socialist country with modern agriculture, modern industry, and modern national defense.

Obviously, your suggestion has been taken seriously by the superiors.”

It was not a very formal report and did not involve any secrets. Chen Changan asked Hou Mingjun to run errands and did not intend to hide it from Hou Mingjun.

After hearing Hou Mingjun's words, Chen Changan didn't even raise his head.

"Do you think all leaders are as stupid as you? How do you know what the leaders will say after reading my report?

It was just said at the meeting. Maybe the leaders had already prepared this speech.

I am just putting forward my suggestion. It is not up to me to decide whether it is adopted or not.

You are a deputy factory director after all, and you have seen the world. Can you please not be so useless?

You get so excited when there's some news in the newspaper. You have so much free time, why don't you do some work?

I am almost done with the drawing of a diesel engine mounted on a car.

Go say hello to Shi Heping and ask him to find some people for you to start trial production of the new engine.

The diesel engine over there has just been completed and is being tested.

It's just right that you two are together, so we don't have to split into two waves, which would waste manpower.

You haven't touched the engine for such a long time, I don't know how good you are. Let Shi Heping do it."

Hou Mingjun agreed quite readily. It was certainly a good thing if he didn't have to do it himself.

As for the credit, stop it. How long has it been since you got promoted?

Even Hou Mingjun himself knew that it was impossible to achieve that goal in the short term.

My master's hands-on ability is definitely stronger, so the engine can be made faster.

"It has to be Director Chen. He draws pictures really fast."

"Don't be so sarcastic. You worked the night shift for so long at the pharmaceutical factory before.

When you arrived at the car factory, I didn't assign you any tasks.

Now that your break is over, you can't be so lazy anymore.

Hurry up and see if there are any workers over at Shi Heping's place. If not, there will be more work to do on your side.

I estimate that even if there is, it will not be enough for you, so recruiting workers should be put on the agenda.

Engine trial production, workshop equipment debugging, recruitment, production. Hou Mingjun, your good days are over. "

Hou Mingjun's expression gradually became serious.

Back then, he was a workshop director at the motorcycle factory.

When he arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, although he was the deputy director, he was hardly needed for any specific matters.

This time, Chen Changan put him in charge of automobile production in the factory.

This was also a test for Hou Mingjun. After all, Chen Changan had handed over half of the car factory to him for management.

This is also a test for Hou Mingjun. If he performs well, he will be the first deputy director of the automobile factory.

His performance was terrible, needless to say it would be difficult for him to take over Chen Changan's job in the future.

"Director, don't worry, just wait and see. I promise to make it beautiful for you."

The drawings were finished. The last time Shi Heping asked him to go watch the test run, Chen Changan didn't go.

Now is a good time to hand over the new drawings to Shi Heping, and by the way, go and see how Shi Heping and his team's engine test run is going.

The test workshop is relatively remote. After all, the engine runs non-stop for 24 hours, so noise is also a problem.

So Chen Changan arranged a test run in the farthest and most remote workshop.

Walking on the road to the automobile factory, Chen Changan subconsciously walked into each workshop.

This is a habit developed in the pharmaceutical factory. After all, there are workers in three shifts, 24 hours a day, in every workshop.

After Chen Changan took over, he would always make an inspection. When he had nothing to do, he would chat with the workers in the workshop and learn some medical knowledge by the way.

As soon as he entered the workshop, Chen Changan prepared to go to the smoking room in the workshop.

After all, if you want to chat with the workers, you can only do so in the smoking room.

You can't run over to the workers while they are operating the machinery and disturb them, right?

Just as he approached the door of the smoking room, Chen Changan stopped when he heard words coming from inside.

“I’m telling you, this motorcycle factory will go bankrupt soon.

Don’t disbelieve it? Just look at your working conditions at the beginning.

Including overtime, I almost work sixteen or seventeen hours a day. Not only do I not have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, but I also have to work more overtime.

Look at it now, the work schedule in the workshop is not full every day.

Otherwise, how would we have time to chat here?"

"I still believe that Director Chen will lead the motorcycle factory out of its predicament."

"You guys are still naive and think too highly of Chen Changan.

This time we invited Director Chen back. Will it work?

Director Chen has been here for such a long time, but there has been no change in the factory.

It is the same as it was before.

So I always tell you not to over-mythologize Director Chen.

He is also a human being and has his bad moments.

I have connections at the steel mill across the street. That's a factory that produces all kinds of steel.

As long as the country needs construction, this steel plant will not go bankrupt.

Everyone needs to make plans early, especially those workers who want to be transferred to the steel rolling mill.

I won’t ask you for more. After all, it costs money to find connections. Just one hundred yuan per person.

I guarantee that within a week, you will be working at the steel mill."
