Chapter 1276 Authority

Two days later, Wang Yan rode his bicycle alone and came directly to the agricultural machinery factory, which was not far away.

When he arrived, 126 employees of the agricultural machinery factory, including the leaders, had gathered in the yard and were talking to each other.

As he rode his bicycle in, the noisy sound gradually disappeared, and more than 100 pairs of eyes were staring at his every move.

The old director of the agricultural machinery factory led the leaders of the factory to come forward.

"Comrade Wang Yan, hello, hello, I am Qian Zhixue, originally the director of our agricultural machinery factory. Now that you are here, the county has transferred my relationship to the textile factory and became the deputy director."

Old Qian is also an old man who is about to retire. He is about the same age as the old director of the textile factory, but his hair is more white, all because of his worries about the jobs of more than 100 people in the agricultural machinery factory.

Wang Yan shook hands with him with a smile, and listened to him introduce other leaders in the factory. Basically, they were demoted and were waiting for Wang Yan to re-arrange them.

Of course they had complaints, but there was nothing they could do because there was no place for them in the county. All the capable people were transferred away, and the ones left were the working people, but there was no work in the farm machinery factory.

He spoke to the employees, conveyed the spirit of the superiors, expressed his management ideas, and described the beautiful life in the future. He encouraged everyone and reassured them, and then let them disperse and wait for work arrangements.

Then, Wang Yan followed the leaders of the factory to check the situation in the farm machinery factory.

The county magistrate's previous statement that the farm machinery factory could not make decent machines was actually an exaggerated adjective. In fact, the farm machinery factory still has something, otherwise more than a hundred employees would have eaten dry meals, and the county would have solved the problem long ago.

The farm machinery factory has two aspects of money-making business. One is to buy engines and other parts from the city, and the county will produce some things by itself, and slowly accumulate a farm machine, which will be purchased with funds from the county. The other is to provide some simple and cheap parts to the farm machinery station in the city to achieve division of labor. In this way, the city can reduce the cost in this regard, and the county can also have some income.

However, the same situation as the textile factory, the workers are retiring, and the new ones are taking over. They are unable to make ends meet, and their lives are much more difficult than those of the textile factory. Just looking at the number of employees, it can be seen that the strength of the textile factory is much stronger.

The situation in each county is different, but the basic industrial configuration of each county is basically the same. Power plants, fertilizer plants, chemical plants, wineries, sugar factories, salt factories, canning factories, textile factories, pharmaceutical factories, shoe and clothing factories, brick factories, steel factories, cement factories, cement prefabrication factories, etc., are all related to people's livelihood and production.

The main reason is that the overall thinking at this time is still about war. In this way, once there is any turmoil, the supply and guarantee of various materials can be guaranteed within a certain period of time, and then wait until the next national deployment, the war machine will be fully operational, and all people will be soldiers in an instant.

So at this time, the grassroots units are seeking perfection, regardless of whether they are refined or not, they must have everything anyway.

Moreover, at this time, the transportation is not smooth, and the operating efficiency is not as terrible as it will be decades later, so it can also guarantee local people's livelihood and ensure the complete supply of various materials.

Wang Yan looked at the equipment in the farm machinery factory. Generally speaking, it was still usable. After all, he could make a water jet loom by hand. More usable equipment could greatly improve manufacturing efficiency.

After looking at the situation in the field, Wang Yan and a group of leaders of the farm machinery factory went to the office for a meeting.

"The lathes from the city will be delivered in the next few days, and the money has been in place. Now the most urgent task is to clean up the factory. We have two workshops and a large garage. The garage has more space, so we can move all the agricultural machinery inside and find another place to park them, and move the equipment from the city there.

In addition, the workshop that produces parts for the city has also stopped and will not be used in the future. The county magistrate means to stop the production of agricultural machinery, and we will be in charge of the maintenance of agricultural machinery in the county in the future.

But I took a look at it today and I think it should be retained. We can produce, but we can't produce leading ones, but they can always be used. It's cheaper for us to produce it ourselves than to purchase it from other places.

We haven't had enough food yet. Agriculture is our foundation. We must ensure agricultural production in our county and our food security. In the future, I will also lead some people to study and improve our agricultural machinery.

Old Qian, you arrange these things. The team producing agricultural machinery will be retained, and the production of parts will be transferred to the production of looms. Half of the old masters in the factory will come here On one side, and on the other side, we produce agricultural machinery.

In addition, we will count the children of our factory employees who are over 16 years old and do not study or work. In the future, when we expand, we will start with these children of employees. "

Seeing Director Lao Qian nod, Wang Yan continued, "There are two main focuses in future work. One is factory affairs, and the other is production. For the time being, I will solve the production problem first, and we will make money first. Lao Qian is responsible for factory affairs, and the ideological education and learning of the employees in the field, including the leaders present, cannot stop.

What do we rely on to build the four modernizations? It is a group of workers and peasants with culture and literacy. We must know why we do it, how to do it, and what we want to achieve. Therefore, the night school in our factory must be run. If we want to run it well, our comrades must also learn well.

We must do a good job in building our ideological consciousness and strengthen our awareness of confidentiality. This is the rice bowl of all our employees and the future of our children. No one can sabotage it. Whoever destroys our achievements, we will deal with him.

That's all I have to say. Do you have any other opinions, leaders? "

The people from the farm machinery factory looked at each other, and one of them, who was not young, asked tentatively: "Do our relatives count?"

Obviously, this was also a person who was a little nervous because Wang Yan scolded Lao Li from the textile factory.

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "We can only arrange the children of the employees of our textile factory and farm machinery factory first. After this part of people are arranged, it will be the turn of the relatives of each family. However, considering that it is not easy for you to be leaders, I have discussed with Lao Qi and others before. Those who have children will arrange the children first, and those who don’t have children can arrange a relative.

But I’ll make it clear in advance that no matter who it is, they must work for me conscientiously. Those who are sneaky and embezzle public benefits must be dealt with, and they must be killed as a warning to others. Comrades, our Jinling County is poor. It is not time to enjoy comfort, and there will never be comfort. If you don't move forward, you will move backward.

We want to be the best in the city, the province, and the country. Can we relax at that time? No! We want to be the best in the world. Even if there is no opponent, we must be stronger every year, and let all our employees and the people of our county live a good life.

Well, that's all I have to say. Old Qian, you make the arrangements. I have to be busy with production. Now the pressure is all on me. You guys work hard and don't hold me back. Let's make progress together and get rich together. "

After that, Wang Yan waved his hand and stood up to leave the meeting room.

Everyone stood up to see Wang Yan off, and when he disappeared, they sat down and looked at each other left and right, all with a wry smile on their faces, and then gathered together to complain, and many emotions surged, and also discussed Wang Yan's ability.

Wang Yan didn't want to say anything useless to them. They were all tools. If they did a good job, he wouldn't say anything. If they did a bad job, he would see what happened. If they just wanted to eat and wait for death, Wang Yan would have to send them to retirement. No one could make any waves...

When he came to the workshop, Wang Yan was warmly welcomed.

"Brother Yan, you are really awesome. You have become the deputy director!"

"You don't know how to talk. Your future is worrying. The deputy director is not the director?"

Some young people working here were noisy. Before, a bunch of leaders were there, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense. Now Wang Yan came over by himself, with a smiling and kind face, so they became bolder.

Seeing Wang Yan's good response, a bunch of people came over and talked to Wang Yan enthusiastically.

At this moment, Wang Yan looked like a star.

He is indeed a star. After all, his record can be checked, and he is also a bit legendary. A person who loves to fight, but he is very good at studying and has become a college student. After graduating from university, he did not go to other places arranged by the state, but was willing to come back to build his hometown. Not long after he came back, he developed a new machine and was quickly promoted to deputy director.

The turning point was big, and the contrast was also big.

Wang Yan greeted everyone with a smile: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's get to work. Come, clean up the workshop, we will not make parts for the city in the future, we will make our own looms."

"Director, I heard that children at home can also come in in the future, and we don't have to retire?"

"Who said that?"

"Uh... I heard it... Anyway, that's what people say, it's spread all over the county these two days."

Wang Yan smiled: "If you want your children to work in the factory, then we have to work hard now. The factory has to make more money so that we can support more children. More people, so that our children can enter the factory. Comrades, do you understand this relationship? "

"Who can not understand, before everyone had no hope, now it is different. Director, you say how to do it, we will do it. "

"What are you waiting for? Get moving. Skilled masters, production team leaders, come to me, the rest of you clean up the workshop, take out the useless things, find a place to pile them first, clean them up, and wipe the oily places. "

Wang Yan clapped his hands and urged everyone to move quickly.

He took the design drawings and studied the manufacturing methods with several skilled masters, and assigned the production tasks of each part with the team leader.

As we all know, the assembly line model is a good way to improve production efficiency. Although there are no various fully automatic equipment now, the division of labor and cooperation of human resources is also the most appropriate way.

So in the past two days, Wang Yan has disassembled the entire water jet loom. The parts that the county can produce, such as screws, nuts, and other parts mentioned by the county magistrate, Wang Yan has visited various factories to check the production quality.

And some orders have been placed. Of course, they are all unpaid. The county's circulation is easy to solve. Now it is tight on the production of looms. Make money and then pay back the debts. The county will cover the bottom.

However, the county can only produce one-third of the entire loom, and the remaining two-thirds still have to be produced by itself.

In fact, it is not that there is no way to replace it. After all, Wang Yan modified it based on the original shuttle loom. He can go to the loom production factory in other places to purchase it and then bring it back for modification. The cost is a little higher, but the speed is greatly improved.

It's just that considering that the people in the county are not full, we should take advantage of this opportunity to let more people make money. So this plan, whether it is the county leaders or the people in the factory, has not been mentioned at all, that is, all of them should stay in the county.

The cadres may be wild, but they still know how to get promoted...

So during this day, Wang Yan and the people at the agricultural machinery factory made a detailed grouping of various parts, and determined the approximate number of workers needed based on skilled workers and team leaders.

And on the same day, some metal raw materials such as iron, steel, aluminum, copper, and some alloy raw materials purchased were in place, which were plates, metal blocks, etc. that had been refined and die-cast.

On the next day, Wang Yan personally led fifty-seven employees to conduct trial production. It took half a month to successfully assemble a water-jet loom from scratch. After testing, the parameters were almost the same as Wang Yan's original estimate.

This is not the total productivity of fifty-seven people. After all, there is a time difference in the production cycle of various parts. If the time is long, then more people will be arranged. If the time is short, then less people will be arranged. As the pace of production progresses, The deeper the accumulation, the more experienced the workers become, and the output will naturally increase.

This first machine is only for testing purposes. Firstly, it allows workers to understand each link, and secondly, it is to discover and solve problems during this process.

For example, during the manufacturing process, the factory building was not big enough. Half a month later, a large factory building was built in the open space next to the agricultural machinery factory. For example, because the strength of the material was not enough, some secondary processing was performed, the laminates were thickened, and some details of the drawings were modified accordingly. All of this led to a lot of problems.

Then, the city textile factory sent a car to pick up the machine, and it was picked up directly at your door. One day later, the full payment for the remaining nine orders was remitted to the county textile factory.

This makes the textile factory very excited. Generally speaking, the textile factory has achieved success.

On this day, the factory leaders held a meeting. The two factories have a total of 500 people, and there are more than ten leaders who are qualified to hold meetings.

The person in charge was Factory Director Lao Qi, who was brewing tea in a big teapot. The person below him was Wang Yan.

Director Lao Qi didn't need to say anything, he started the meeting directly: "Everyone knows that our first loom has been sold to the city textile factory, and the remaining nine looms have also been remitted to our company. On the account. This is a good start. Lao Zhang, tell me, how many people have placed orders in the past half month?"

Lao Zhang said: "I took a trip to our province, and the textile factories in various cities all had ideas. But we are still talking empty words. We are still notoriously poor. I showed them the parameters, but they didn't believe it. I Just invite them to come to our place for an on-site inspection. Wang Yan, when will the construction officially start? I’ll call them and ask them to come and take a look.”

"Old Zhang, you need to be more flexible. We have already delivered a machine to the city, not to mention that we still have one in our factory that I made before. They come here to see the machine, not to see how we produce it. You give me They called and asked them to go to the city to see it.

All of you leaders who are out running should spread out a little bit. Why do you need several people running in one place? If you run like this, by the time you are done, the prices of foreign machines will also be reduced. You mentioned that at that time, who will still buy our machines? Everyone thinks that foreign things are good.

Old factory director, the travel expenses should be higher. He is older than me. Comrades, go out to eat and drink well. Don’t suffer too much. Your body is the capital of revolution. "

Lao Qi nodded and continued drinking tea.

Wang Yan said: "Old factory director, if you are not interested, you should go out for a walk. You have been wandering around the county all your life. It is good to go out and have a look. Let's treat it as a tourist trip at public expense."

"Can I do such a thing? You're so dirty when you curse." The old factory director snorted and said angrily, "It's a meeting, don't say it's useless."

Wang Yan smiled and then said: "Through this trial production, many shortcomings were discovered. One of them is the lack of manpower. Because I have reserved the agricultural machinery production, more than 80 people cannot move. Only five are actually working. Eighteen people. According to calculations, these people can assemble one unit a day after starting work for half a month.

But I think this is too slow and inefficient. Regarding efficiency, in the subsequent production process, I will gradually add and improve equipment and optimize the manufacturing process. But currently, if you want to improve your manufacturing capabilities and make more money as quickly as possible, you can only increase your manpower.

According to statistics, there are 126 suitable persons in the families of former textile factory workers. Among them, there are 72 males and 54 females. I mean, these people can come to work in the factory right now. All men are going to make machines, but women still have to think about it.

Making machines is harder, more tiring, and dirtier than spinning. We should take care of lesbians. Therefore, among the fifty-two women, I think some adjustments should be made with the textile workers. First, respect the independent choices of these people, second, vacate the positions occupied by some relaxed men, and third, let these female parents take their place.

What do you think? Old factory director? "

Lao Qi nodded: "I have no objection. Although women can hold up half the sky, different situations must be taken into consideration. Do you have any ideas?"

Everyone shook their heads, so Wang Yan nodded: "That's it, let's send out the notice today and come to the factory to register tomorrow. There is no establishment, but everyone will be treated as a formal employee. Old factory director, don't forget to contact the shoe and clothing factory. Bian, make us a batch of work clothes."

"Do you really think I'm old and stupid? I've been the factory director for twelve years!" Lao Qi snorted, looking a bit arrogant.

Smiling, Wang Yan looked at Qian Zhixue, the former director of the agricultural machinery factory who was hesitant to speak.

"Old Qian, things have to come first. The original workers of the agricultural machinery factory have all received some treatment, which is already good. After all, it is not the textile factory that has been merged into the agricultural machinery factory. They don't have to worry. Production has already started. We work overtime. In a month, our factory will be very different.

The money is there. If we don't make money, foreigners will make it. And we have to be fast. As I said just now, once foreigners react and lower their prices, we will not be competitive. So at most it will be two months late. By then, we will definitely have to expand the manufacturing scale. These people are definitely not enough. We have to absorb more talents.

Relax and do a good job of appeasement. At this time, production comes first, don't make a fuss."

"I know, I will do a good job..." Old Qian sighed melancholy.

That's the truth, but people are always dissatisfied. The former employees of the agricultural machinery factory must have strange words.

Wang Yan ignored others and pointed out some other problems.

The main thing is to standardize the safety production system, employee learning, ideological education, and meet the spiritual entertainment needs of employees, such as buying a few projectors, regularly showing movies in the factory, installing loudspeakers, playing music at regular intervals, etc.

At the same time, Wang Yan emphasized the publicity work, agreed on various factory honors, and took the opportunity to propose to buy a few good cameras and arrange a publicity officer to record the huge changes in the factory for future people to recall the bitterness and sweetness...

In addition, the sewage treatment of textile operations was agreed upon. This is a necessary thing to do, not to mention that they also produce machines, and their own factory must also be put into operation.

Whether it will be eliminated in the future will definitely be discussed later. What needs to be done now is to make more people have enough food...

This factory leadership meeting is also very meaningful, because this meeting formally established Wang Yan's leadership over the entire factory after the merger of the agricultural machinery factory.

The leadership established before was virtual, and people were unsure, and they wanted to see what Wang Yan could do.

This time it is real, and it is impossible to seize power from Wang Yan again. If this is really the case, the employees in the factory will never agree.

Because Wang Yan improved their salary, gave their children jobs, made their lives better, and gave them more hope for the future. It's not that they didn't have hope before, but it will be better in the future. The employees are not fools, they know who deserves the credit.

In the future new textile factory, Wang Yan will be the absolute authority and cannot be shaken...

I would like to thank the good brothers who voted for the monthly ticket, recommended ticket and read the book silently for their strong support!
