"All the equipment has arrived at the port, which is almost in line with the progress of the project."

Zhao Hongtu, deputy chief engineer of Yingcheng Shipyard, wearing a rattan helmet, stood on the steel structure trestle of the shipyard project and introduced the new standard-Cargo Ship-2 project to Li Xuewu, deputy director of the Hongxing Factory Management Committee Office, who came to investigate.

There is a busy scene under the steel structure trestle, the sea breeze is strong and the sun is very poisonous.

However, according to the person in charge of on-site project supervision and management, the natural environment has not currently caused any obstacles to the progress of the project.

"We will complete the infrastructure of No. 2 Dock before September," he said, pointing to another construction site in the distance: "This batch of construction teams will rotate with those next door."

“The construction period of No. 3 Dock and No. 2 Dock is only one month apart!”

The sea breeze was so strong that the people on the trestle were a little unsteady, so Zhao Hongtu tried his best to explain louder.

Li Xuewu listened very carefully. Although the research team behind him was unable to keep records, they would try their best to restore the on-site construction conditions in the report.

"In what month does it freeze?"

Just when Zhao Hongtu's introduction came to an end, Li Xuewu asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Have you communicated and understood with the meteorological department? Are there any backup plans and plans?"

"According to the freezing situation in previous years, it will be completely frozen by the end of November."

Zhao Hongtu explained loudly: "But it will not affect our later projects."

He pointed with his finger at the completed infrastructure part and emphasized: "We will move forward the parts of the project that are affected by climate and temperature."

“Place other projects that are not affected by conditions at the backend to fully ensure the reasonable utilization of the construction period.”

"Plan——"

He paused after explaining the construction period and temperature, and then continued: "We have made five sets of emergency plans."

He stretched out his hand and gestured towards Li Xuewu, and emphasized: "We are fully prepared to ensure the construction deadline for both routine and special situations."

"That's the meteorological department's observation station over there——"

Zhao Hongtu's voice was obviously hoarse, but he still tried hard to introduce: "We have relatively close cooperation with the meteorological department."

When he said this, he looked at Xu Sinian who was standing behind Li Xuewu.

Xu Sinian leaned into Li Xuewu's ear and explained: "Director Ge of Yingcheng Industry made special coordination and contacted the working group, the cooperation I told you yesterday."

Li Xuewu nodded clearly and made a gesture to Zhao Hongtu, indicating that he should continue.

"There are seven new shipyards to be built, and we are confident that five of the infrastructure projects will be completed before the freeze."

Zhao Hongtu continued to introduce: "This includes the No. 2 project at our feet with the manufacturing capacity of 10,000-ton cargo ships..."

------------------

Yingcheng Shipbuilding's guest house is very new, and the construction had been completed before the acquisition by Hongxing Factory.

After being acquired by Red Star Factory, due to the large amount of financial support, various projects in the shipyard advanced rapidly.

Of course this includes guest houses.

After Li Xuewu went downstairs, he learned about the rich breakfast provided through the waiter's introduction.

I have to say that you can eat mountains if you are close to the mountains, and eat the sea if you are close to the sea. Isn’t it great to have seafood for breakfast?

For inland people, such breakfast is certainly rich, but for coastal residents, it is just a helplessness.

It’s not that inland food is unaffordable, but seafood is more cost-effective.

One steamed bun, one bowl of porridge, one piece of sea fish and one plate of vegetables. The sea fish is a bit salty and the cold dish is a bit bland.

Not bad for Li Xuewu, who is not picky about food, but Fan Hua laughed and joked a few words.

She wasn't complaining, she was just talking about the difference in food culture between inland and coastal areas.

This gap has become relatively thin in later generations due to the development of logistics and economy.

You can also eat grouper in remote inland counties, and you can also eat prawns in desert cities.

But in this era when you need a letter of introduction to go out, and trains are no faster than cars, and cars are only faster than oxcarts, eating habits and contradictions are still quite obvious and prominent.

Fan Hua talked about how her father once went to Mongolia on a business trip, and saw a woman cooking with cow dung to make a fire, and then went back to bake pancakes, completely unable to eat.

Li Xuewu teased her by saying that the cattle and sheep on the grassland all eat clean grass.

Fan Hua smiled and emphasized that no matter how clean the grass was, the cows and sheep would still produce dung.

The first breakfast after arriving in Yingcheng ended with this interesting conversation.

After breakfast at eight o'clock, the research team gathered in the small conference room and held a working meeting.

Li Xuewu did not arrange seats step by step, but stood casually at the conference table, emphasizing to everyone the discipline and procedures of today's research work.

When I arrived in Hong Kong last night, what I said when I was greeted and invited by Xu Sinian was naturally not all a joke.

But what was emphasized at today's meeting was definitely a real requirement. Li Xuewu never compromised on his work, and he did not allow his entourage to play tricks on him.

A group of people came out of the conference room and met with the main person in charge of the shipyard.

Subsequently, two minibuses carried the research team and the shipyard's technology and management team to the construction site.

At yesterday's dinner table, Li Xuewu did not hide the temptation from the shipyard officials and told them very straightforwardly what he wanted to see today.

Generally speaking, the leader who comes for the investigation will not make things difficult for others, and will clearly explain what he wants to see and what he needs the host unit to show.

You can't say that these things are fake and prepare in advance, because some jobs cannot be faked.

Notifying and informing in advance will help the other party prepare for reports and introductions.

Just say, Li Xuewu has to visit the construction sites of several projects, and the shipyard still has the ability to organize workers to dig out a new one overnight?

That's impossible. Li Xuewu wants to see what he wants to see and what the leaders of the factory management committee want to see. He also has to take care of the people below and see what they want him to see.

This is called job research.

Then someone was confused and didn't say anything after he came down. He said what he wanted to see that day. What should he call if he went directly to the scene?

This is called four things and two things, haha!

The interesting explanation is: four means four who don’t know anything, and two means that when asked, both eyes are fixed.

Of course, Xu Sinian is still very reliable, and Li Xuewu is not looking for trouble.

Accompanied by the management and technical staff, as well as the technical and engineering leaders of Geely Star Shipping Company and the Sentaya Group who were on site, Li Xuewu went over the new project.

We listened to the introduction and report of the relevant person in charge, and also conducted research and inspection on the construction period, quality, safety, supervision and other issues of the project.

After getting off the dock, the research team visited the yacht project of Geely Star Shipping Company and looked at the fishing boat project that had completed three batches of delivery.

------------------

When I came out of the workshop, it was already 11:30 in the morning, and I was stuck in the middle of lunch.

Li Xuewu clicked on his watch, smiled at Xu Sinian and asked, "How about it, Director Xu, please invite us to have lunch in the cafeteria?"

“Don’t say that I, Old Xu, am stingy——”

Xu Sinian didn't care about the meaning of Li Xuewu's words. He smiled and said to everyone: "This is what our Deputy Director Li specially emphasized."

"I made arrangements last night. Let's try Yingcheng's local specialties at noon. It's a pity."

He sighed deliberately and said, "Deputy Director Li told me not to prepare. He didn't even prepare."

"Hahaha--"

Of course, everyone understood what the two leaders meant, and they just laughed along with them.

"So, since the leaders are concerned about the food standards of the shipyard and engineering teams, I have to accept this on behalf of the comrades who are working on the front line."

Xu Sinian smiled and raised his hand to indicate the direction of the cafeteria and said, "Then let's try the skills of our cafeteria master."

"Did you hear that?"

Li Xuewu walked under the sun and joked to the people around him: "This is the level of a factory office director."

"Turn your hands to become clouds, turn your hands to become rain."

"Hahaha--"

After finishing the field research work in the morning, it can be seen that Li Xuewu is quite satisfied.

Both the research team and the management of the shipyard and engineering team are in a good mood.

If the leaders are satisfied, it means that they have achieved results in their work, done well, and done a beautiful job.

Regarding Li Xuewu's proposal, the deputy director in charge of logistics may be the most stressed.

Others are not under any pressure. They are concerned about the food standards of employees. Basically, the leaders who come to investigate will ask about it.

Of course, there are many people like Li Xuewu who watch and eat directly.

However, after 1962, when the efficiency of urban factories gradually improved, especially after the launch of large-scale study activities, the number of small canteens increased significantly.

Generally, teams that come for research or inspection will taste the local food and specialties.

The inspection or reception unit will take the initiative to provide services in this area.

Of course, you have to meet the conditions before you can eat it. Don't even think about taking this bite when you go to the pencil factory for inspection.
