When Li Weidong brought Yang Xueli to the poverty alleviation workshop, he was stunned by the bustling scene outside.
It’s okay for a few elder sisters to play gongs and drums.
What do those dancing aunties with Chinese characters next to them mean?
A large-scale cultural performance?
At this time, Niu Meng trotted over. At her level, she was not allowed to wear Chinese tunic suits in the workplace. She wore the same clothes as ordinary workers and could not distinguish her identity, so she had to change into a navy blue youth uniform.
The youth clothes looked a little loose, maybe they were Niu Yong's old clothes, but they were very clean, and she had a heroic feeling when she wore them.
Niu Meng's eyes were smiling. After standing still, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a breath, and then said: "Master, how about it? I dare say that there are so many workshops in the steel rolling mill that are in operation, and none of them are better than our workshop."
It’s so lively!”
Her expression and movements seemed to say, "Master, I am great, praise me."
The movement was a little too loud. Li Weidong nodded: "Well done!"
"It's just that there are so many people. Where did you find them?"
Niu Meng's eyes widened and she said with a smile: "Those eldest ladies are from the Publicity Department, sent by Factory Director Yang to liven up the atmosphere. Those aunts are temporary workers in our workshop. They can dance Chinese characters themselves. With a little training, they can do it."
Already."
Li Weidong nodded: "Yes, you are quite good at utilizing resources and you are very motivated."
"Of course." Niu Meng said, "I have already decided to make a career in this position."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's hurry into the workshop."
Li Weidong led everyone into the workshop. All the leaders in the workshop were present, and the temporary workers were sitting neatly at their workstations.
Li Weidong looked around and introduced Yang Xueli to the big guys.
Everyone has long heard that people from Hong Kong City were sent over. They were a little skeptical at first. But today when they saw the real person, their hearts hanging in the air fell to the ground.
It seems that the poverty alleviation workshop has indeed received attention from above, and it will be a long-term job.
"Okay, I won't say any more. In the workshop, as long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly!"
After Li Weidong finished speaking, he looked at Ma Xiangdong, the deputy workshop director who had been waiting nearby: "Old Ma, you are the deputy director in charge of the daily production work of the workshop. You give the order!"
"director."
Ma Xiangdong was a little surprised. Such an important matter as the start of construction should have been the exclusive honor of the workshop director, but now Li Weidong gave it to him as the deputy director.
"good"
He seemed to want to say something, but he opened his mouth and did not say anything. He turned to face the workers and waved his hand: "Start work!"
"start!"
"start!"
Huge sounds echoed in the workshop. The workers turned on the machines, and the workshop was immediately filled with the sound of roaring machines.
"Director, I'm a little worried. I have to go and keep an eye on it myself."
"Go ahead."
Seeing Ma Xiangdong wandering in the workshop, directing the work in the workshop seriously, Li Weidong nodded with satisfaction.
This old horse is indeed a good horse.
Ma Xiangdong is 40 years old. He was originally the deputy director of the forging workshop and became the director of the poverty alleviation workshop through an interview.
The forging workshop is a famous large workshop in steel rolling, and temporary workshops such as the poverty alleviation workshop cannot be compared with it at all.
It’s just that Liu Hongshan, the workshop director of the forging workshop, is also forty years old this year, and he works on a job-for-service basis, with no possibility of promotion.
In other words, as long as Liu Hongshan doesn't make mistakes, Ma Xiangdong can only be a deputy director in his life.
Therefore, he thought of trying his luck in the temporary workshop.
Li Weidong has made great achievements at such a young age, so promotion is inevitable. When the time comes, it will be natural for him to take over as deputy workshop director.
Li Weidong understood Ma Xiangdong's ambitions very clearly.
but.
He still accepted Ma Xiangdong and made Ma Xiangdong his deputy.
the reason is simple.
In Li Weidong's view, an ambitious subordinate is easier to control.
Workshop management itself is a very difficult job, and handling affairs often requires offending people.
If Ma Xiangdong wants to successfully take over from Li Weidong, he must become a sharp knife in Li Weidong's hand.
Seeing that Ma Xiangdong was already at work, Li Weidong did not stay in the workshop for long and was ready to return to the studio to continue research.
As soon as he left the workshop door, he was stopped by Niu Meng.
"Director, I would like to make a suggestion."
"Our workshop values democracy. If you have any suggestions, feel free to make them," Li Weidong said.
"It's not something important, I just think I should mention it." Niu Meng seemed a little embarrassed.
"I am your master. If you have anything to say, you can just say it."
"I think our workshop should order a batch of professional work clothes." Niu Meng raised her head.
"Work clothes?"
"Yes, you see, the workers in our steel rolling mill all have special uniforms. Since the workers in our workshop are temporary workers, they can only wear homely clothes, all kinds of clothes, just like in a vegetable market."
After listening to Niu Meng's thoughts, Li Weidong nodded and said: "This is indeed the truth. Firstly, uniform uniforms facilitate management, unification of will, and integration. Secondly, it facilitates workers' self-discipline and enhances self-discipline awareness and self-discipline.
, do a good job in self-management. In addition, it can also give the outside world a good team feeling, which is more conducive to establishing the image of our poverty alleviation workshop."
"." Niu Meng just felt that it was a bit inappropriate to wear casual clothes. She didn't expect Li Weidong to speak so many truths, and she couldn't answer the conversation for a while.
Li Weidong said: "Okay, I will handle this matter. You can go back quickly."
"good."
After agreeing to Niu Meng to change the workers' work clothes, Li Weidong no longer had time to accompany Yang Xueli to do research. After sending Yang Xueli back to the guest house, he came to Factory Director Yang's office.
"How's it going? Is the workshop going well?"
"It's okay. There's Ma Xiangdong watching over there."
"Well, Lao Ma's ability is really good."
After some pleasantries, Li Weidong brought up the matter of changing work clothes. Director Yang frowned after hearing this.
He picked up the enamel jar and took a sip of water, with a troubled expression on his face: "Comrade Weidong, this matter is a bit difficult. The work clothes for our steel rolling mill are all allocated from the Fifth Textile Factory through the ministries and commissions. The quantity is limited, and it is only enough.
Distributed to regular workers”
Li Weidong has been in this era for a while and knows that what Director Yang said is the truth.
In this era, the factory's production is all allocated by agreement, and it is impossible to change the allocation plan because of some temporary workers.
To make clothes, the most difficult thing is to get cloth.
If this problem is solved, you can definitely find a tailor to make a batch of clothes.
There are only more than 200 temporary workers in the poverty alleviation workshop, and a skilled tailor can complete the work within a month.
Even if you are in a hurry for clothes, you can still find another tailor.
The key now is how to obtain cloth through relatively legal means.
Cloth is only available in cotton mills.
When Li Weidong was a truck driver, he once went to a cotton spinning factory to deliver workpieces and met the director of the logistics department of the cotton spinning factory.
Maybe
Li Weidong's eyes lit up, he looked at Factory Director Yang and said, "Director, if I can find a way to exchange the workpieces from our factory for cloth, can you specially approve some workpieces for me?"
Director Yang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he understood what Li Weidong was thinking: "You mean bartering?"
In this era, the production materials needed by factories need to be prepared from above.
At the beginning of each year, the factory will draw up the quantity of materials required based on the current year's production plan.
Then submit an application report to the ministries and commissions, and the ministries and commissions will allocate materials based on the application report.
This method can ensure that limited resources will not be wasted due to repeated production.
But there are also disadvantages.
That is, there are certain errors in the factory's production activities.
For example, if the machine breaks down today and there is a shortage of spare parts, follow the formal procedures to file an application report.
After approval from superiors, the factory that produces parts receives orders from superiors to produce spare parts again.
Finally, the spare parts are sent to the rolling mill and installed on the machine.
This series of procedures will take at least several months.
During this half-month, the machines cannot produce and the workers have to be idle, which will definitely affect the production volume this year.
In order to prevent this from happening, the factory's logistics department will immediately report the damage to the factory that produced the parts.
The factory that produces parts may be short of workpieces, so exchanges can be made between the two.
Even if you don't need the artifact, it doesn't matter.
I can exchange the workpiece for diesel, and then exchange the diesel with you for parts.
A factory requires many kinds of materials, and there is always what you need.
Of course, in the material budget formulated each year, this part of the material has been added to the application report in advance.
Factory Director Yang has done a lot of bartering in recent years. He looked at Li Weidong and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you can contact the textile factory well, I can ask the logistics department to allocate a batch of workpieces. After all, those temporary workers
They can also be regarded as workers in our steel rolling mill."
"Thank you very much!"
After thanking him, Li Weidong rode his bicycle and came to the Fifth Cotton Mill, well, it was the former factory of Cuihua.
The biggest difference between cotton spinning mills and steel rolling mills is that there are many young girls.
Li Weidong's clothes and handsome appearance attracted the attention of the girls. It was not until his back disappeared at the door of the logistics department that a few girls reluctantly turned around.
"Who was that just now?"
"I don't know, but he should be a leader. Didn't you see that he is wearing a woolen tunic suit?"
"Tsk tsk, it's rare to see such a young leader."
"Xiaolang Hoozi, are you excited?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Let me tear your mouth apart."
The perpetrator, Li Weidong, had no idea what was happening behind him. He went straight to the office of the Director of the Logistics Department and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Hearing the sound, he pushed the door open and entered.
Zhang Xingmin, director of the logistics department of the Fifth Cotton Mill, was drinking water. When he saw what Li Weidong was wearing, he couldn't help but take a breath and almost choked on his tea.
"Cough cough cough"
Li Weidong took the towel from the hanger and handed it over. Looking at Zhang Xingmin's embarrassed look, he smiled and said, "Old Zhang, why are you so excited?"
"Li Weidong, you, are you an official?" Zhang Xingmin wiped the corners of his mouth and asked with an incredulous look on his face.
Li Weidong straightened his body and pulled the corners of his clothes with both hands: "My younger brother is not talented and was favored by his superiors. Now he is the workshop director of the poverty alleviation workshop of the steel rolling mill."
"Workshop director. He has a bright future!"
If Zhang Xingmin didn't know Li Weidong's temperament, he would have thought he was joking.
Although the workshop director is relatively low-level and not as good as the section chief of the department, he is still considered a top leader at the grassroots level and may be promoted to deputy director or director in the future.
Division chiefs like them basically have no chance of becoming factory leaders due to their lack of leadership experience.
However, Li Weidong came to deliver goods a while ago, and he was just a small worker. In the blink of an eye, he became the workshop director. This speed of promotion is really surprising.
"Weidong, congratulations, but you're not here to show off to me today, are you? If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Oh, I can't come to see you because I have nothing to do. By the way, how is your sister-in-law doing lately?"
Li Weidong changed the topic and asked with a smile.
"Now she is recuperating at home. She is able to cook now. The doctor said that if she were sent half an hour later, your sister-in-law would have to stay in bed for the rest of her life." Zhang Xingmin thought of what happened a while ago.
, I felt a little scared.
His wife was a clerk in the material department of a cotton spinning mill. She suddenly fainted in the office because she had been working overtime to calculate data.
People from the material department hurriedly came to call Zhang Xingmin. Li Weidong happened to be with Zhang Xingmin, so they followed him over.
Based on the condition of Zhang Xingmin's wife, Li Weidong suspected that she had cerebral thrombosis, immediately took simple first aid measures, and then drove Zhang Xingmin's wife to the hospital in a truck.
After this incident, the relationship between Li Weidong and Zhang Xingmin became warm.
Li Weidong nodded and said: "It is very dangerous once cerebral thrombosis recurs. On weekdays, you ask my sister-in-law to pay attention to rest and not eat greasy food."
"Well, that's what the doctor told me. By the way, your sister-in-law has told me several times that she wants me to invite you and your wife to my house for a meal."
The two chatted for a while, and when the atmosphere was in place, Li Weidong put forward his own ideas.
"Brother, I'm here to ask you something. Our workshop needs a batch of black cotton cloth. I wonder if your factory still has any stock."
"Black cotton cloth, I'll tell you that you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing." Zhang Xingmin said with a smile: "There is black cotton cloth, but you also know that it is almost the end of the year and cotton cloth is in short supply."
"Workpiece, let's exchange it for the workpiece!" Li Weidong could understand Zhang Xingmin.
People in this era are very upright. No matter how good the relationship is, they will not show favoritism for public affairs. At most, it will be a little convenient.
If there was no relationship between the two, Zhang Xingmin would have kicked him out of the office by now.
There is no way, the cotton mills these days are so arrogant.
Zhang Xingmin pondered for a moment and nodded:
"Recently, there have been reports in the workshop that the parts of the cotton spinning machine have aged for several days and often break down. They really need to be replaced."
"Let's do this. You write down the quantity of cotton cloth you need, and then I will discuss with Lao Wang and the others how to replace it."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Li Weidong nodded.
He knew that in barter, the value of items was difficult to measure using normal prices and required mutual negotiation between the parties.
