young friends come to meet

Chapter 17 Change and Risk

Yin Congnan nodded, "Yes, I want to move."

"where do you live?"

"I'm currently living in the dormitory of the research institute."

They said, turned and walked into the factory yard.

"Where are you moving?"

"Move back to your own home."

Passing by the door of the riveting and welding workshop, Ren Haoguang called Ye Kai, "Ye Kai, where have you been? I couldn't see you in a blink of an eye." He saw Yin Congnan again, "Comrade Xiao Yin, why did you run together? ?”

Yin Congnan smiled and said nothing.

Ren Haoguang said, "Let's go, let's have dinner together."

Yin Congnan said, "Go first, I have to go back to the building to get the lunch box."

"Okay, let's go first." Ren Haoguang walked to Ye Kai and waved to Yin Congnan.Seeing Yin Congnan turned and left, he pulled Ye Kai's sleeve, "Let's go."

Ye Kai followed the large group going to the cafeteria, thinking that Yin Congnan had been in the factory for several months, and they seemed to have never talked about anything other than work.He didn't know where Yin Congnan lived, or who was in his family, and he didn't know if he was married or if he had a partner.He thought they could be regarded as friends, and it turned out that he knew very little about him.Outside of work, it can be said that they have no contact.As for Yin Congnan, he never talked about his personal affairs, nor did he ask about Ye Kai's personal situation.

"What are you thinking?" Ren Haoguang suddenly said.

Ye Kai glanced back at him, and took advantage of the situation to look Ren Haoguang from head to toe.I found that I even knew what size shoes Ren Haoguang wears, maybe this is the only way I can be regarded as a friend.

The whole set of equipment for the Africa aid project is officially ready to leave the factory after spraying.On the day of leaving the factory, the leaders of the factory and the research institute gathered together, and even the provincial industry department sent representatives.The machine was hung with red silk.On the temporary podium, the leaders delivered speeches in turn, all of which were congratulations on the success of the project, praise to the workers and expectations for the future.When it was Secretary Ma Guosheng's turn to speak, he said that for comrades who have made outstanding contributions to major projects, the factory will not forget your contributions, nor will they underestimate your dedication. Every drop of sweat you shed is your meritorious service. Meritorious medals will shine brightly in your future careers!

Several young workers stood in a pile around Ye Kai. Zhao Yongbao looked at the leader who was speaking on the stage and scratched his head, "What does the leader mean by that?"

Ren Haoguang said, "You don't understand?"

Zhao Yongbao shook his head, "I don't quite understand. What medals, what flashes? Do you understand?" He threw the question back to Ren Haoguang.

Ren Haoguang said, "It's not that simple. It means we deserve credit. Ye Kai, right?"

He pushed Ye Kai with his arm, and Ye Kai looked down at the two of them and said, "You two stinky chess baskets, don't play together."

"What does that mean?" Zhao Yongbao was quite persistent.

Ye Kai hooked the corner of his mouth, "The meaning of the leader is to judge the best and award in the future, and give priority to those who have contributed to major projects. Do you understand?"

"Ah? That's what it means." Ren Haoguang said, "Why didn't I think of that."

Zhao Yongbao suddenly realized, "This leader speaks well."

"Hey, Ye Kai." Ren Haoguang suddenly lowered his voice, "Then what about us? We were transferred by Wang Dong, and we didn't make it to the end of this project."

Ye Kai was a little impatient, "There are so many old comrades ahead of us."

Ren Haoguang looked at the podium in front of him with regret and sighed.

Of course Ye Kai knew that Wang Dong insisted on reassigning jobs to them at that time, just to prevent Ye Kai and his young workers from getting too involved in major projects, otherwise they would gradually become successful masters.If their achievements at work were discovered by the factory leaders, it would be difficult for Wang Dong, the workshop director who got his job because of his seniority.However, even though Ye Kai had a deep disdain for Wang Dong in his heart, he was unwilling to tell Ren Haoguang and the others about his petty thinking.One is that it doesn’t make much sense, it’s not good for work except distracting people; the other is that he doesn’t want others to think that he has so many twists and turns in his heart, and he doesn’t want to think too much about it himself. It’s just that he has a quick mind. It can be understood after a little thought.

There were five large trucks loaded with machine parts, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held before the trucks left the factory.The leaders cut off the red silk and moved away to the two sides. One after another, the big trucks drove to the gate of the factory. Among the representatives following the truck were Gao Gong and Zhao Gong, who waved to everyone from the window.

"Senior engineer! Zhao Gong!" Their young apprentices shouted to their master from the side of the road.The factory is like marrying a daughter, everything is so festive and lively.

Yin Congnan stood on the side of the road, looking at the satisfied smile of the factory leader, he thought, maybe today is a good time to put forward his ideas.The factory has made obvious achievements. If it can take advantage of the victory now to expand production and reform the production mode, there will be more opportunities to take over major projects in the future.Maybe the leader also has this idea. If they can hit it off, that would be great.

In the afternoon, the leaders of other units left.Ma Guosheng and Li Han were still immersed in the excitement and joy of the whole day.The two chatted happily in the party secretary's office.

Yin Congnan knocked lightly on the open door.

The two leaders turned their heads together, saw that it was Yin Congnan, and warmly greeted him to come in.

"Secretary Ma, Director Li."

"Come on, Xiao Yin, sit down quickly. You have worked hard today."

Li Han poured Yin Congnan a cup of hot water, and sat down on a single sofa, seeing that he was holding a folder in his hand, "What are you holding here?"

Yin Congnan said, "I have some ideas, and I want to report them to the two leaders."

Ma Guosheng also came over and sat down on the sofa, "Okay, sit down and talk. You have finally completed a big project, and you are a hero. Don't be so restrained."

Yin Congnan nodded and sat down on the sofa.Ma Guosheng is in the middle, and Yin Congnan and Li Han are sitting on the single sofa on each side.

He opened the folder and placed it in the center of the coffee table.

"The Africa aid project we completed this time is a task assigned by the Ministry of Industry. The Provincial Department of Industry has undertaken it, and our factory has completed it excellently. Today, the machine leaves the factory and has been approved by the province. After the equipment is successfully installed and debugged in Africa, it will be put into use. , the country will also know the production capacity of our factory. At that time, our factory will be well-known throughout the country, and there will definitely be more heavy-duty and difficult projects to come to our factory in the future. This is of course a good thing, but also a challenge. "

The two leaders listened to Yin Congnan's opening remarks very seriously, and nodded in approval.

"Recently, in order to catch up with the progress, we have launched two projects at the same time. This is already a lot of pressure for us."

Recalling that when we first received the aid project in Africa, everyone was still worrying about meeting the construction deadline. Yin Congnan's words brought back the memories of the two leaders.

"Later, through the collective efforts of our technicians and workers, as well as the correct command of the leaders, we finally completed all the equipment manufacturing before the construction deadline. But if there is another project, it is also in time? What should we do?"

As soon as the problem came up, the two leaders looked at each other, and then Li Han said, "This kind of problem has happened before. If it wasn't for a task that couldn't be refused like the African aid project, we wouldn't be sure to accept it just to be on the safe side." job done."

Ma Guosheng also nodded, "Indeed. Of course we also want to take on more projects and bring more benefits to the factory, but we can't overload production, and the workers can't stand it."

Yin Congnan said, "Yes, it is not feasible to overload the workers. Especially in our factory, the riveting and welding workshop is the center. As far as I know, no matter where the factory is, high-level welders and riveters It is very scarce. In our factory, there is only one eighth-level welder like Mr. Zhao, and only one senior technician. When encountering difficult projects, they can only take the lead, and they can only be responsible for one project. If other workers want to be on the top, they will have to wait a few more years."

The two leaders first frowned and thought about Yin Congnan's question, and then looked at him curiously, wanting to hear what he wanted to say.

"The energy of the workers is limited. They are made of flesh and not made of iron." Yin Congnan paused, looked into the eyes of the two leaders and said, "But the machines don't. I would like to suggest to the factory to buy A set of advanced technological equipment."

Ma Guosheng and Li Han seemed a little unresponsive, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.Ma Guosheng said, "Although the process equipment currently used in our factory cannot be said to be the latest, it is similar to the new equipment. Purchasing new equipment may not necessarily increase productivity much."

"We are almost the same as the most advanced technology and equipment in China. What I want to say is that we buy imported equipment."

"Import?" The two leaders said almost in unison.

"Correct."

After showing disbelieving expressions, neither of them spoke, and after a while, they exchanged glances again.

Ma Guosheng said hesitantly, "This... I haven't studied it yet. I don't know much about foreign technology and equipment. Lao Li, have you ever learned about it?"

Li Han was also in a dilemma. After sucking his back teeth for a long time, he shook his head, "I have only heard of foreign production, which is highly automated. The production efficiency should also be very high."

Yin Congnan nodded, "Yes. They have automatic welding machines suitable for various occasions, as well as various fine blanking equipment, which can greatly improve efficiency."

Ma Guosheng said, "We definitely don't know as much as you, Xiao Yin. Do you have any specific information?"

Yin Congnan pushed the opened folder towards the two of them, "Here are the names and introductions of some equipment that I think can be purchased, and I have also written down the applicable occasions. The specific price has written a range, mainly for machines produced by different manufacturers Prices will vary."

Li Han picked up the folder, of course he checked the price first, and then handed it to Ma Guosheng.

"The cost is very high." Ma Guosheng put the folder back on the coffee table, his face getting more and more ugly.

Yin Congnan knew that they had a lot of concerns. If he didn't push, the two leaders probably wouldn't agree to purchase new equipment.He pulled the folder over and turned to the last few pages.

"Here is a digital model I have drawn up. Using some parameters of our factory's current production situation and some parameters after the use of new equipment, we can calculate the time required to recover the cost and the percentage of production efficiency. Purchasing new Under steady and reasonable operation, the cost of equipment can be covered within a short period of time, and the subsequent benefits are very considerable.”

Neither of the two leaders touched the digital model. They knew that they couldn't understand it for a while.Most importantly, they didn't want to refute Yin Congnan's face.

In fact, without looking at the data model, one can know that the purchase of advanced equipment is bound to be beneficial for improving production.But investing a lot of money means taking risks.Who wants to be the one who drags the whole factory to take risks?

"Little Yin," Ma Guosheng said, "your model is a bit complicated, you have to give our old comrades some time to digest it slowly. We also need to study your materials carefully. We have heard your suggestion. , thank you for making suggestions for the factory. What a young man with ideas!"

"Yeah, those of us who are old, don't dare to think so much."

The two leaders laughed.

"Okay, then I won't waste the time of the two leaders." Yin Congnan stood up, bowed slightly to the two, and walked out of the office.

He understood that the two leaders had no plans to purchase new equipment. His actions today, thought he was striking while the iron was hot, but in fact it was like pouring cold water on the iron.Still, he had a glimmer of hope that if they could take a good look at the file he had made, they might be able to change their minds.
