Chapter 1252 Graycastle Design Bureau
Jiade's so-called factory is located on a construction site in the southern suburbs of the city.
Since he was traveling with the president of the department, Roland naturally no longer had to drive around in his little van that just roared, but he took the opportunity to experience the feeling of being a boss in a luxury car.
I have to say that the taste of lying in a spacious seat that is softer than a sofa and drinking ice-cold champagne taken from the rear refrigerator is indeed addictive.
Of course, it would be even better if the champagne was replaced by cola.
When the vehicle drove off the flat road and onto the bumpy temporary road, the roar of machinery became constant, and trucks and excavators could be seen everywhere.
Banners of "Sanye Construction Engineering Co., Ltd." can be seen hanging on rows of board houses. Further away, towering pile foundations are densely packed like a forest.
Probably seeing Roland's curiosity, Guardian took the initiative to explain, "The group plans to build a modern new energy automobile city here. The construction department is currently responsible for the construction. Once all facilities are completed, it will be handed over to the manufacturing department. This project has been approved for a long time and was only implemented a few months ago.”
It's no wonder that Garcia hasn't mentioned much about protesting forced demolitions recently. It feels like the Sanye Group has temporarily shifted its target.
"What about the factory?"
"It will be demolished." Jiade replied. "It used to be an agricultural machinery factory. It has gone through several reforms, but in the end it cannot keep up with the needs of the times. Considering that your requirements are quite special, I can keep a factory building It’s for your use—although it’s not under my control, I’ve already said hello to it, so it’s okay to leave it for the time being.”
"Are the manpower still available?" Roland was more concerned about professional talents than the venue.
"We're almost gone," Jiade said with a shrug. "There's only one old master who is about to retire and a dozen workers left. They are all members of the family. When the automobile city is built, the latter will probably be transferred to the new one." Get to the post."
Well, it sounds a little shabby... Roland couldn't help but murmured, but it's better than nothing. Although there is still a certain gap between the legendary design bureau that he expected, where there are many great masters and experts, but it is still the best. Started.
After arriving at the destination, he lowered his expectations again - what came into view was a slightly dilapidated factory building, covering an area of about 500 square meters, with rust stains showing on the walls made of steel plates. Walking into the factory, the dust in the corners can almost make footprints, and the scattered machine tools are not much better. It's obvious that no one has taken care of them for a long time.
Following Jiade up the stairs at the head of the factory, and approaching the management room, Roland keenly caught the sounds of conversations coming from the room.
"Hey, I don't know when the company will be demolished here... Sitting in the same place every day, my butt is almost moldy."
"There's nothing wrong with being idle. Anyway, I won't get a salary increase when I'm transferred to a new company. I might have to work overtime every day. I'd rather just sit still."
"What are you talking about," an older voice interrupted, "Young people should be full of energy."
"Energy cannot be eaten... If I can retire and receive a salary now, I promise to agree without saying a word."
"By the way, Master Xie, you should retire this time. I heard that the boss has advised you several times. In fact, even if you don't come to check in and report, the superiors probably won't say anything."
"I can't bear to leave this place... I've been here for almost 30 years. Before it's demolished, I might as well take a second look."
"How about I take some photos for you?"
"You bastard, can the photo be the same as the real thing?"
"Wait, it seems someone is coming——"
Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the room.
When Jiade's secretary came forward and opened the door, everyone in the room had returned to their original positions. Some were sorting the information on the table, and some were sitting in front of the computer and typing away, as if they had been busy before.
"Jia...Mr. Jia, why are you here?" Everyone was stunned when they saw Jiade show up. Obviously the "boss" they were talking about was not the board member. It felt like an unknown village. Suddenly a high-ranking government official came.
"Bring your friends here to visit," Jiade looked at the oldest person in the crowd, "You are Master Xie, right? I heard that you have been working here for decades?"
Roland also turned his attention to the other person. Judging from his appearance, he was almost sixty years old. There was only a sparse ring of hair on the top of his head. A pair of huge reading glasses hung on his nose. He was thin and thin, holding a hand. Wearing a thermos cup that has changed color, except for his energetic eyes, he is no different from the old men coming and going in Tongzi Community.
I'm afraid the only thing that Master Xie can use is his long working experience.
"Yes, you are right." The other party rubbed the cup and replied with a flattering tone, "It has been exactly twenty-nine years since I entered the factory."
Well, this temperament is far different from those folk masters who have unique skills and ignore everyone... Roland's expectations have dropped to the bottom, and it seems that he may have to recruit people online.
"Thank you for your hard work," Jiade smiled, "It just so happens that this young friend of mine is interested in the factory. Please accompany him around and introduce the situation of the factory."
"Okay, okay." Master Xie glanced at Roland in surprise, "But if the factory doesn't want it right away..."
"If he likes this place, the factory can stay."
As he said these words, Roland noticed that the other party's eyes suddenly became hot when he looked at him.
"What is your name?"
"Just call me Roland."
"Okay Mr. Roland, please come with me!"
Master Xie took him down to the factory area with great interest. Just as he was about to introduce the long history of the factory, Roland interrupted him directly, "More than that, I want to know what kind of work you have done before?"
"I've done almost everything..." Master Xie said with a smile, "From fitter to workshop supervisor, and later served as deputy factory director for a period of time. When I was busy, one person had to support three or four people, and I arranged assembly operations during the day. , I taught the boys how to repair machines at night, and I had no time until my eyesight failed.”
Roland couldn't help but stop, "Have you ever done design?"
"Hey, of course. Although I didn't go to any serious university, I used to work night shifts in the factory, so I learned a lot by myself. It's just that pens and rulers can't compare to computers, and the company established a specialized department a few years ago. In the design department, no one probably cares about these paper drawings."
"If I want a crawler tractor, and the requirements and specifications are different from those on the market, can you make it?"
"Tractor? Ha, I'm much more familiar with it than my wife. I'm not bragging, Mr. Roland, as long as I have a few apprentices to help me, I can cut it out with my eyes closed."
He asked in surprise, "In that case, why didn't Sanye Group call you into the design department?"
"Hey, everything they tinker with now is inseparable from computers. I heard that all the production lines in the new factory are automated. The mechanical arms and robots take care of most of the work. The people in the old factory are all doing sales and administration. Even if you invite me over, I can’t do anything.”
There was a hint of desolation in Master Xie's tone.
And Roland's view of him changed 180 degrees.
Ordinary image? Such employees will not steal the limelight;
Honest temperament? An honest team is better to lead, right?
Not being computer literate is a trivial problem. There are as many cheap draftsmen as you need, and you can hire them by the dozen.
"Very good, very good," Roland couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and nodded repeatedly.
"Ah?" Master Xie was startled, as if he didn't understand what was so good about this.
"The factory will not be demolished," he said bluntly, "I will transform this place into a new design bureau, and you will be my first chief engineer."
"Design...bureau?"
"Yes," Roland extended his hand to the other party, "Welcome to join the Graycastle Design Bureau."
