Chapter 607 Differences of opinion in the laboratory
At this time, Li Weidong was busy studying the drawings needed to produce motorcycle equipment in the laboratory.
In later generations, these equipment can be produced in any factory, even a small private factory.
But in this era, because the equipment in the factory is not complete, especially the metal material technology is backward, it is not easy to produce a complete set of production equipment.
At this time, Li Weidong's previous arrangement had a miraculous effect.
College student researchers represented by Zhou Jing can develop equipment based on theory.
Technical masters represented by Master Zhou Fang can make corrections to the equipment developed by Zhou Jing and others from a practical perspective.
Of course, because the two sides had different ideas, there were a lot of disputes.
No, when drawing a drawing, Master Zhou Fang and Zhou Jing had a heated argument.
The old master patted the table and said: "Researcher Zhou, have you considered it? If all our equipment is made of fine carbon steel, how high will the cost be? I don't think you are making equipment. You are burning money."
.”
No wonder Zhou Fang is so angry. He just estimated that the production cost of that set of equipment has already reached 100,000 yuan.
In this day and age, the average salary of workers is only twenty or thirty yuan. What is the concept of one hundred thousand yuan?
It can be said that if it is placed in their machinery factory, they can buy a complete production line.
Zhou Jing disagreed.
"Master Zhou, how much does it cost to manufacture this set of equipment? This has nothing to do with me. My task is to research the equipment and ensure that this set of equipment can produce qualified products. In addition, I also need to ensure that this set of equipment can produce qualified products."
The quality of the products that come out can meet the standards.”
"Aren't you talking nonsense? If you replace fine carbon steel with low carbon steel, won't the equipment be able to operate normally?" Master Zhou Fang was furious.
"It can indeed run, but you have to know that the toughness of low carbon steel will decrease at high temperatures, and the equipment produced may be deformed, which results in insufficient accuracy. If the production equipment is not accurate enough, the parts produced will definitely not meet the standards.
." Zhou Jing said.
Master Zhou Fang continued: "Then we can use other methods. In addition, what you said is not necessarily certain, maybe it will work."
"Science pays attention to rigor. There is no such thing as possibility. Master Zhou, I know you are a master, but your experience may not necessarily play a very good role in large-scale mechanized production."
Zhou Jing said in a serious tone.
She knows very well that the Red Star Laboratory is now in its infancy. If the first project fails, her future research journey will definitely be worrying, let alone becoming a first-class scientist in the country.
However, Master Zhou Fang feels that Red Star Laboratory has just started and has a relatively weak foundation. If you have money, you should spend it wisely and not waste money casually. In his opinion, Zhou Jing's behavior is a waste of money.
The researchers and technicians in the laboratory also have different opinions.
Li Weidong had nothing to do today and was chatting with Sun Lanhua in the office.
Of course, they were chatting in bed.
Sun Lanhua has now entered the school, and her whole temperament is different.
She has the temperament of a little country girl and the temperament of an established intellectual. The combination of the two temperaments is particularly attractive.
At this time, Qin Jingru knocked on the door.
Seeing that Sun Lanhua was there, Qin Jingru's face turned a little ugly.
She doesn't have a good impression of Sun Lanhua.
The reason is very simple. In the past, Qin Jingru was the youngest. She was younger than Qin Huairu, Yu Li and Ding Qiunan.
But now another Sun Lanhua has arrived.
And this Sun Lanhua is so beautiful, it is inevitable that he will feel threatened.
But Qin Jingru knew that Li Weidong didn't like girls to have a bad temper.
She quickly suppressed the reluctance on her face, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Wei Dong is disturbing you. Something happened in the laboratory."
After hearing this, Li Weidong stood up and asked: "Something happened, what happened?"
"Researcher Zhou Jing and Master Zhou Fang had a quarrel. And the researchers and technicians all started arguing. Now the laboratory is a mess."
After listening to Qin Jingru's words, Li Weidong's face gradually became serious.
Why, this research has just begun, and there are already such serious conflicts within the laboratory.
How will we conduct research in the future?
He turned around and looked at Sun Lanhua and said, "Lanhua can't have dinner with you today. You can go back to school later."
"Brother Wei Dong, if you have something to do, just go and do it. It just so happens that I still have some homework to finish. I will go back to school to finish it now." Sun Lanhua knew very well that Li Weidong was doing big things, although he was a little disappointed in his heart.
, but still very considerate.
Sun Lanhua walked up to Qin Jingru, smiled kindly at her, and then quickly left the studio.
Sun Lanhua also knew that the beautiful girl in front of her might have something to do with Li Weidong, but she didn't care.
It was enough for her to be able to come to the capital and stay with Li Weidong.
Sun Lanhua is not the kind of woman who is kind and jealous.
"Qin Jingru, let's go and see what happened."
After Sun Lanhua left, Li Weidong took Qin Jingru to the Red Star Laboratory of the steel rolling mill.
Entering the laboratory, he found that Qin Jingru seemed to be exaggerating.
Whether they are workers, masters, or university students and researchers, they are all actually cultural people.
Although the opinions were not unanimous, they were resolved through debate, and they did not become as noisy as those old ladies in the compound, making their faces red and thick-necked.
Seeing Li Weidong come in, the laboratory suddenly became quiet.
Zhou Jing smiled sheepishly at Li Weidong: "Director Li, I didn't expect to alarm you."
At this time, Qin Jingru moved a chair. After Li Weidong sat down gently, he looked at Zhou Jing and asked, "What happened that made you two so noisy that your faces turned red and your necks thickened."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It was just a small problem at work. I originally thought that Master Zhou Fang and I could resolve it peacefully. Who knew that the differences between us were really too big.
"
Zhou Jing was not the kind of person who would tell stories. She told Master Zhou Fang everything in detail.
After listening, Li Weidong frowned slightly.
He had thought about various possibilities before coming, but he did not realize that it was because of the production cost.
It seems that Zhou Jing and Master Zhou Fang are thinking about Red Star Laboratory from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Weidong asked the other researchers to return to their respective jobs, and then called Master Zhou Jing and Zhou Fang into the office.
He looked at the two of them and said, "I understand both of your concerns. This also represents the main development direction of our Red Star Laboratory in the future."
While talking, Li Weidong looked at Master Zhou Fang: "Master Zhou, I decided to follow the opinion of Researcher Zhou Jing on this matter."
Master Zhou Fang became anxious when he heard this: "Director Li, that set of equipment costs more than 100,000 yuan to produce. Our laboratory only has a small amount of money, what if we invest all of it?"
Li Weidong waved his hand at him and said: "Master Zhou, I can understand your concerns. But you should also know that things like motorcycles are not popular in our country now. It can even be said that they are not popular at all in our domestic market.
There are no motorcycles for sale.
The batch of motorcycles produced in our laboratory can be said to be the first batch of motorcycles.
If motorcycles have left a bad reputation in the minds of the public due to quality issues, it will be difficult for us to make up for these mistakes."
As a time traveler, Li Weidong is very aware of the negative effects that product quality problems can have.
Just like the first cars, because the quality of those manufacturers was not up to par, they directly launched the cars on the market in order to gain benefits.
At that time, a large number of consumers were cheated.
Of course, it was the car manufacturers that ultimately paid the bill, so that for many years afterwards, their cars could not be sold at high prices, and their sales volume could not increase.
The reason is simple: the people have lost confidence in them.
If you save 100,000 yuan now, you may have to spend 200,000, 300,000, or even 30 million to make up for it in the future.
This is something Li Weidong absolutely cannot allow.
Master Zhou Fang is not the kind of master who cannot listen to advice.
After listening to Li Weidong's ideas, he suddenly became enlightened.
"Director Li, you are absolutely right. I didn't think enough about it, and I almost harmed our laboratory."
Li Weidong waved his hand at him and said: "Your original intention is good, and it is for the sake of our laboratory. So there is no need to apologize."
After speaking, Li Weidong looked at Zhou Jing again: "Of course, Researcher Zhou, our laboratory must ensure the quality of production, but it does not mean that we do not need to save costs.
There is a clear difference between the two.
You are a researcher, and in the process of researching equipment, you must uphold the concept of ensuring product quality while also taking into account cost savings. "
Zhou Jing stood up and said, "Don't worry, Director Li. I will never let our laboratory spend a penny in vain."
"Well, now that the conflict is resolved, you two can go back to work immediately. Don't forget, I hope to complete this batch of equipment within half a month."
There is a special advantage in this era, that is, people's thoughts are generally relatively simple.
Take Zhou Jing and Zhou Fang for example. Although they had a heated argument, it was all about work and did not involve personal grudges.
So once two people figure it out, they can reconcile again.
As soon as Li Weidong settled the dispute between Zhou Jing and Zhou Fang, he received a notice from the gatekeeper of the steel rolling mill.
After learning that Liang Ladi came to the steel rolling mill, Li Weidong frowned slightly.
He knew very well the purpose of Liang Ladi coming here this time.
However, he still nodded and let Liang Ladi enter the laboratory.
Liang Ladi walked into the laboratory under the leadership of the security officer. She was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
In less than half a month, Li Weidong had managed to build such a large laboratory again.
In addition, on her way to the laboratory just now, she had already found out that there were actually eighth-level workers and college students in this laboratory.
In fact, there is a laboratory in the machine repair shop. That laboratory is mainly responsible for researching some difficult machine repair technologies, but the scale and staff composition of the laboratory are far inferior to this laboratory.
"Director Li, Comrade Liang Ladi has arrived. I have to go back to work now and will leave first." After the security officer sent Liang Ladi to the laboratory, he said hello to Li Weidong and then left.
After Liang Ladi entered the office and closed the door, she looked at Li Weidong and exclaimed: "Brother, you are really powerful. Such a big laboratory belongs to you."
"Comrade Liang Ladi, why did you come here today? It's not just to visit our laboratory, right?"
Li Weidong lit a cigarette and asked straight to the point.
He is very busy with work now and has no time to chat with Liang Ladi here.
Liang Ladi also realized this and said quickly: "Brother, I really want to ask you something today."
"If you have anything to do, just say it directly."
"I'm really embarrassed to talk about this matter. It's Director Zhou of our factory. He's really gone too far. Now the workers in our factory are thinking of ousting him."
Liang Ladi said angrily, and after finishing speaking, she sighed heavily.
"Director Li, when you came to the factory and wanted to discuss cooperation with our factory, it was because Director Zhou blocked the cooperation that the negotiation failed."
As she spoke, Liang Ladi frowned, a little confused: "But I don't understand this. Logically speaking, our factory has developed well, which is also a political achievement for Director Zhou.
He can take this opportunity to be transferred to another factory, or promoted to a ministry."
Although the current machine repair shop has the previous batch of orders from Li Weidong, it is still a very small factory.
There are only more than 2,000 workers in the whole factory, which is far inferior to a large factory like a steel rolling mill. Accordingly, Director Zhou's status is not as high as that of the director of the steel rolling mill.
Li Weidong smoked a cigarette and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you can only be a worker. Director Zhou can be the director of the factory."
Liang Ladi widened her eyes and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Li Weidong raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was almost time to get off work. Even if he went into the laboratory and was busy at this time, he wouldn't be able to do much work, so he simply set up the Longmen Array for Liang Ladi.
"Liang Ladi, let me ask you. What is the most important thing for a factory director?"
Liang Ladi said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's the development of the factory and the happiness of the workers. The better the development of the factory, the higher the happiness of the workers, the better the factory director will do."
Li Weidong smiled bitterly and said: "You take it for granted. For a factory director like Director Yang, there is nothing wrong with saying that.
But there is another kind of factory manager in China who values the power in their hands more than anything else.
Anyone who dares to threaten their rights will fight to the death."
Hearing this, Liang Ladi became even more confused.
"Even if that is the case, there is no need for Director Zhou to refuse cooperation with your steel rolling mill."
Li Weidong said with a smile: "If our rolling mill gives this batch of orders to your machine repair shop again, the machine repair shop will become a key factory, and then his position as factory director Zhou will not be stable."
