Chapter 5 How Meaningful

Lao Yang and the workshop technician were disagreeable. When it comes to Fang Hanmin's process improvement, the two completely disagree. Lao Yang fully supports Fang Hanmin for the experiment, while Lao Wu stayed out of the matter and watched coldly. He didn't believe that a temporary worker had such a high level of technical skills.

Lao Wu was not interested in the situation of the test team at first. What is Fang Hanmin's test? How can process improvement not start from the laboratory, then transition to pilot or industrialized test step by step, and finally to industrialized production? As for example, he was tested in industrial-scale equipment as soon as he started. He believed that it was just Lao Yang's obsession and supported Fang Hanmin to do whatever he wanted!

However, when Lao Wu learned from the laboratory that the first two tests improved the purity of the product, his understanding changed slightly. Could it be that this nerdy temporary worker really knows a little technology? But then he thought, it was not right! Including Lao Wu himself, there are so many engineers and technicians in the Technical Department and the General Engineering Office of Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory, who do not understand technology? But has the technical problems in the second workshop still not been solved?

It seems that he was thinking too much. Lao Wu believes that the first two experiments improved the purity of the product. It is likely that Fang Hanmin had a coincidence in the experiment and achieved such results. Therefore, he continued to despise Fang Hanmin and criticized the experiments that Fang Hanmin and others were conducting as a random thing in front of the laboratory.

In order not to involve anything in this matter, Lao Wu avoided Fang Hanmin. He just saw Fang Hanmin entering the office and Lao Yang was not present. He was afraid that Fang Hanmin would make any request to him. Before Fang Hanmin could speak, Lao Wu got up and slipped away.

Seeing Lao Wu leaving with a gloomy face, Lao Yang thought something unpleasant had happened in the office, but his question made Fang Hanmin inexplicable, "What did I say? Before I could speak, Wu Gong got up and left."

"Oh----," Lao Yang realized that it was Lao Wu's turmoil again. He felt that he didn't have to take it to heart, so he asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'll report the test results to you. When you see you are not in the office, I'll prepare to introduce the test situation to Mr. Wu. The scene you saw appeared."

Old Yang waved his hand, "Don't worry about him, sit down and talk about the experiment."

Fang Hanmin made a summary report on the test process to Lao Yang, and then handed a piece of office paper with the test results to Lao Yang, "Director, this is the test results we have obtained. Please check it out."

Because of his limited technical level, Lao Yang was not very interested in the test process. He only cared about the test results. When he saw the data in the table on the paper, his eyes widened, "Hanmin, are these the results obtained in recent experiments?"

"Yes, because the reaction medium did not meet the requirements and the results were not ideal in the first two tests, the relevant data were not counted in this table. The data from the third to sixth tests are counted here."

Lao Yang put the table on the table, looked up at Fang Hanmin, and said excitedly: "That's great! I didn't expect you to do this successfully. Hanmin, do you know what the successful experiment means?"

Compared with the advanced pharmaceutical technologies experienced in previous lives, Fang Hanmin believes that the success of this "acylation" job process improvement experiment is not worth mentioning at all. Of course, compared with the current situation of the second workshop of Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory, this incident still has some significance. He said calmly: "If the successful test process is applied to production, at least the bonus of the employees of the second workshop will increase a little, right?"

Lao Yang waved his hand and said excitedly: "No, no, no! The significance of this matter is not just to increase the bonus for employees. First of all, increasing the yield by 10%, which means that the production cost will be reduced by about 15% on the current basis. If this goal is achieved, the paracetamol raw materials produced by our Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory will be profitable and have a certain competitiveness in selling price. In addition, once the content reaches 99%, the customer's recognition will be rapidly improved! How much does it mean?"

Of course, Fang Hanmin knew what Lao Yang said, but his identity was just a temporary worker. Major matters such as product price competitiveness or market share need to be considered by leaders. What does it have to do with him as a temporary worker? He only cares whether the bonus will increase a little next month, so he does not comment on Lao Yang's words.

Because of his excitement, Lao Yang not only praised the success of the experiment, he also had great interest in the next work of the experiment team.

"The experiment has been completed, and we will follow the arrangements of the workshop leaders." Despite the success of the experiment, Fang Hanmin still acted like an obedient elementary school student in front of the leaders.

"Oh, yes, the test has been over, next..." Lao Yang thought about it for a minute or two, "Next, I will report the test situation to the factory leaders, where do you and several colleagues in the test team come from and where will you go back? I will notify you when you need to cooperate with our work in the future."

"Okay." Fang Hanmin didn't say anything and accepted the leader's arrangement calmly, because he knew in advance that the test team was just a temporary institution. Once the test was over, they would return to the original unit. Fang Hanmin stood up and prepared to leave. He suddenly thought of something and turned around and said, "Director, should you call our squad leader before we go back?"

"Well, I'll call him now."...

Back at the temporary office, Fang Hanmin returned the office supplies on his desk to the workshop attendant, "Xiao Min, I don't need these things anymore, please put them away."

Xiao Min was surprised, "Siuai, what are you doing?"

"The experiment is completed, the test team is disbanded on the spot, and I have to go back to the original team."

"Is that true? It's only been more than ten days, and it's completed in such a short time? What's the result?" Xiao Min asked in surprise.

"The result? Give me the paper and pen." Fang Hanmin was afraid that Xiao Min would not understand the nouns and terms he said, so he simply wrote the test results on the paper, "You can read it yourself."

Although Xiao Min only has a junior high school education, she has been a workshop attendant for two or three years and also takes into account workshop statistics. Although she does not understand all about production, she often comes into contact with some technical terms during the statistics process. Seeing the test results written by Fang Hanmin on paper, she asked in a comprehensible manner: "Scholar, I don't understand what the yield on this is, but the product content has increased to 99%. This is something that has never happened in the second workshop. It seems that your experiment has been done well!"

Fang Hanmin nodded, "You are right, our experiment should be said to be very successful! Let me explain it to you, the yield is inversely proportional to raw material consumption. The higher the yield, the lower the raw material consumption. Based on the test results, we increased the yield by 10% in the experiment, and the raw material cost will drop by about 15% after conversion."

Xiao Min widened her eyes in surprise, "Wow! The raw material cost is reduced by 15%? Xiucai, you are too awesome! Now the second workshop is saved!"

"What a big deal, is it worth your fuss about?"

"This is still small? Do you know that the entire factory now counts the lowest bonus in our second workshop? It is because the product quality cannot be improved and the production cost cannot be reduced. If these two problems are solved, the bonus in the entire workshop will increase!"

"Who knows, I hope." After saying that, Fang Hanmin turned around and was about to leave. "Oh, what are you busy with?"

"You have something to do?" Fang Hanmin turned around and asked.

"Scholar, you have successfully done the experiment. The director said nothing. What work will you do next?" Xiao Min felt that Fang Hanmin had done a big thing for the second workshop. The leader should give him some rewards, at least he had to change his job position.

"Where we come from, where we go back to. Didn't we just say that we all go back to the original team."

"Is that true? Is there no further information after the experiment is completed?"

"The director said he would report to the factory leader immediately and he would notify me if I needed to cooperate with the work in the future."

"Oh, go back to the original team?" Xiao Min seemed a little disappointed, "I will keep these office supplies for you first. Every day I will clean your desk and chairs, keep them clean, and wait for you to come back..."

That afternoon, Fang Hanmin and several colleagues returned to the "acylation" position to report. After meeting, he took the initiative to say hello to the squad leader, "Master Zhao, we are back."

"Here you back? OK, OK." Old Zhao said ignorantly.

"Scholar, what's the result after the experiment is done? Is your experiment good for improving the 'acylation' process?"

"Scholar, this time you are famous in the entire workshop. Didn't you ask the leader when will you be reincarnated?"

I thought your experiment would take one or two years and it would be over so quickly. Did you give up after a lot of effort?”

Everyone could hear that some employees' words were either sour or bad intentions. Fang Hanmin had long been used to being ridiculed by his colleagues, and he turned a deaf ear to these comments.

Jiao Tiehui didn't take this trick. He walked two steps forward, pointed to the employee who spoke the most ugly and said, "Qingyuan, what are you talking nonsense? Who is trying? How do you know that it is not effective?"

The employee called Qingyuan put his mouth aside and said without hesitation: "It's done in more than ten days. It's not a tossing. What effect can it have? Jiao Tiehui, do you ask the scholar to tell everyone, what effect is your experiment?"

"What are you doing? Just like me, you are just a stinky worker working in three shifts. Why should the scholar report to you?"

"You, Jiao Tiehui, who do you think is a stinky worker?"

"You, I, everyone is a stinky worker! Why, what I said is wrong? Are you Lai Qingyuan the best?"

"What's wrong with the stinky worker? The scholar is still a temporary worker! Let him report on his work, it's all your business!"

These words made Jiao Tiehui angry, "You shameless! The scholar's temporary worker is a hundred times better than you. Report to you, which onion do you think are you?"

"Jiu Tiehui, who do you think is shameless?"

"You are just shameless, I'm talking about you! Have you heard it clearly?"

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, the squad leader, Master Zhao, quickly put out the fire, "Everyone, this is working hours, you are quarreling here. If the workshop inspector sees it, everyone will be fined again. You should go back to your job quickly and do your own things."

Although Lao Zhao's words are not worth much, the reason is not bad. The workers only earn more than 30 yuan a month. If they are deducted ten or eight yuan for fighting, it would be a loss. They can calculate the account clearly.

After listening to Lao Zhao's advice, Lai Qingyuan and other employees who were watching the fun left. Fang Hanmin, Jiao Tiehui and others stayed, "Squad leader, which position do we go to?"

"Oh, the workshop director called me. According to Director Yang's instructions, Jiao Tiehui, you guys will go back to their original positions, Xiao Fang will follow me and will not return to their original positions for the time being."
