In the early morning, before dawn, Yang Xiaotao drove to the factory area.
At this time, the entire steel plant was strictly controlled by people from the security department led by Zhao Chuanjun. Except for the original workers of the steel plant, no one was allowed to enter without access documents.
When Yang Xiaotao came outside the experimental workshop, Guan Zhiyong and An Zhongsheng, who had not returned last night, were directing the workers to conduct final inspections.
Whether it is the renovated converter or the molten iron that has been smelted in the blast furnace, including the storage of liquid oxygen and the inspection of the oxygen lance, everyone is inspecting it meticulously.
Not far away, Yang Youning and people from the logistics and publicity departments were nervously building a stage. Red flags were erected around it, and welcome banners were pulled up one after another.
A few days ago, the leaders of various steel plants under the First Machinery Department came to Sijiu City. He and Liu Huaimin also went to meet a few people, all of whom were old brothers. Naturally, they exchanged pleasantries during the meeting.
Then, I received a notice from Director Liu that the number of people coming this time was estimated to be several hundred, which now stumped Yang Youning.
With so many people, where can they find so many tables and such a big stage?
Having no other choice, I finally discussed it with Liu Huaimin and Yang Xiaotao, and finally only arranged for the leaders to sit down.
As for the others, they all set up chairs on both sides of the stage and sat there, just to watch it from a close distance.
This is the statement given by Yang Youning, and Yang Xiaotao deeply believes it.
And this is just an arrangement under normal circumstances. If the weather is not good and there might be a snow day, then we would have to consider building a shed.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao looked up at the sky. The sun had already risen and there were no clouds above his head. It should be a nice day.
Xiaowei quietly poked her head out of her shirt pocket, but now Yang Xiaotao took her out.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
Bring Xiaowei with you, and you will always have a guarantee at critical times.
squeak
The sound of a truck rang, and Chen Gong jumped out of the car, "Old Yang, where are you sending these things?"
Yang Youning looked back while he was busy, "Send it to the kitchen and let them handle it themselves."
"Also, the meal for lunch today should not be too bad, nor should it be extravagant and wasteful. Old Chen, you have more experience, so keep an eye on it."
Chen Gong nodded, climbed into the passenger seat of the truck again, and the vehicle rumbled towards the kitchen.
Yang Xiaotao took a look and saw that there were obviously two halves of pork chops inside.
I knew in my heart that if this experiment failed, there would be no need to say anything. We would go back to our respective factories, machinery factories, and steel factories to lick our wounds, sum up our experiences and lessons, and work hard next time.
But if you want to succeed, you have to take care of the meal anyway.
You should have a meal to celebrate.
But after all, there are hundreds of people, how to arrange it?
In the end, it was Guan Zhiyong who suggested setting up a separate canteen to entertain the guests this time.
Of course, when it comes to cooking, the chefs here at the steel plant are not good at it.
For this reason, Yang Youning directly seconded several good chefs from the machinery factory, machine repair shop and chemical factory, and they are now preparing in the kitchen.
As for the issue of feeding workers in each factory, it was left to the second-in-command of each canteen.
It can be foreseen what will happen to other factories' lunch this noon.
"Xiao'e, go to the kitchen and talk to Lao Chen..."
Yang Xiaotao looked at the truck going away, thought of something, and gave a few instructions to Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e looked surprised and puzzled.
"Go ahead and just think that we are all enjoying the joy together."
"OK."
Lou Xiao'e ran towards the kitchen, while Yang Xiaotao saw Liu Huaimin walking from the side, with an acquaintance behind him holding a stack of pamphlets.
That is the "Steel Plant Safety Management Regulations" that was compiled after some work.
After many revisions, the final cost includes matters that need to be paid attention to in the management of the steel plant, maintenance matters that workers need in their daily work, as well as frequently encountered problems, and how to deal with them correctly...
Yang Xiaotao has read it. This booklet is basically the result of the joint efforts of various departments in the steel plant. It involves all aspects and is definitely made with care.
Of course, the use of the new technology oxygen top-blown converter was completed by the R&D department of the steel plant. It involves how to transform the open-hearth furnace into a converter, various parameters, precautions for using liquid oxygen, etc. It can be seen that it is absolutely
It is full of sincerity.
If this is successful, this safety management regulation will also become a blueprint for various steel plants.
Red Star Iron and Steel Works is completely famous.
Liu Huaimin asked people to read the books carefully, and a special person would distribute them when the time came. Then he came to Yang Xiaotao and said, "You are a little late."
"It's still late. I went out before dawn and didn't even eat breakfast."
Yang Xiaotao was still talking, and at this time Yang Youning also came down from the stage, "Which one of us will eat it?"
Yang Xiaotao said nothing and silently put the eggs in his pocket into the space.
"By the way, you will host today's meeting."
Yang Youning suddenly spoke, and Yang Xiaotao looked at him in disbelief, "Old Yang, what did you say?"
So much limelight was given to him?
Yang Xiaotao didn't believe that this guy had changed his gender.
Yang Youning coughed twice, "I thought about it last night. I'd better leave the technical issues of the steel plant to you. I'll just accompany the leader then."
"No, I don't know anything about steelmaking. If it doesn't work, I'll let Guan Zhiyong do it."
At this time, Guan Zhiyong, who had finished placing promotional slogans in the factory, came over. When he heard Yang Xiaotao say this, his legs suddenly became weak.
It's okay to let him receive everyone below, as long as he smiles, stretches out his hand, and explains at critical moments.
He had to go up and preside over the experiment, and he felt itchy in his throat when he spoke in front of so many people and so many leaders.
"Mr. Yang, I think the factory director is right, you still have to do this."
Guan Zhiyong quickly said, either Yang Xiaotao or someone else would not go up.
Liu Huaimin also spoke, "It's up to you, Xiaotao. Lao Yang and I have other things to do. You are familiar with the steelmaking process and have gone out to investigate. You have experience. Everyone can rest assured that you are here."
When Liu Huaimin said this, Yang Xiaotao did not refuse and took over the general process of the meeting from Liu Huaimin, and they dispersed to work again.
Yang Xiaotao briefly looked at the process.
Everyone entered the venue at nine o'clock in the morning, and then the opening speech was given.
The experiment started at half past nine, during which the various processes were explained.
It is expected to end at 10:30 to 11:00.
After the meeting, leaders were invited to speak, and then everyone visited the steel plant.
Finished eating at noon.
In the afternoon, there were exchanges, focusing on safety management regulations. At this time, Liu Huaimin and others each led a group of people.
We will discuss the specific arrangements at that time.
Yang Xiaotao put a piece of paper in his pocket after briefly looking at it.
Arriving at the experiment site again, An Zhongsheng came over wearing a safety helmet and said, "Mr. Yang, I have checked it three times to make sure there are no problems."
"Are the fire fighters and medical personnel here?"
"We are all here, and we have also contacted the sub-district office and the city hospital. There are absolutely enough personnel to deal with emergencies."
"good."
Yang Xiaotao went through the things to pay attention to in his mind, and then looked at everyone, "There are still three hours before the start time. Let the workers go to the canteen to eat."
"I asked the cafeteria to prepare breakfast. I told everyone that only when you are full can you have strength and complete the experiment better."
An Zhongsheng and the workers behind him felt warm in their hearts after hearing this.
They came to service the equipment in the middle of the night and had no time to eat.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaotao was still thinking about them, and he was determined to perform well.
An Zhongsheng nodded, knowing that now was not the time to be polite. He really wanted to be grateful, so he did the experiment well.
After leading people to the canteen, Yang Xiaotao started to inspect again with his glasses on.
Half past seven in the morning.
Yang Xiaotao, Yang Youning, and Liu Huaimin led the main leaders of the steel plant to inspect the factory area.
At this time, workers have not yet gone to work, and all machines are still in standby mode.
There were no problems with health and environmental inspections in the past.
Although the greeters arranged earlier were rubbing their hands and jumping around from time to time because of the cold, they made sure to maintain a high spirit.
Everyone walked around in a circle and finally came to wait in front of the venue.
"Has the engine been made yet?"
Yang Youning lit a cigarette and blew it into the wind. Yang Xiaotao stood upwind but did not light a cigarette.
"I made one, but there was a problem during assembly, which is being solved."
"Is there a problem with the installation?"
"Yes, the order was messed up, and during the test run, a component was broken, causing failure."
As Yang Xiaotao spoke, he also made people around him realize that the complexity of this dual-cylinder diesel engine is not comparable to that of a single-cylinder engine.
"How long does it take to make it?"
"Get the parts done today and I'll supervise them tomorrow. There should be no problems."
Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment and said, in fact, if he didn't go, the workers would be able to do it if they had their first failure experience.
But if he goes, the workers will be more confident.
"Okay, let's go see tomorrow how powerful these twin cylinders are."
Yang Youning smiled, already thinking about whether to tell Mr. Xia and the others the good news today, and let the chiefs witness this exciting moment together.
"By the way, how is the tractor you designed?"
Liu Huaimin thought that the new engine was not suitable for the tractor and asked nervously.
"The comrades in the R&D department have started the design. This time, with the help of colleagues from the Quancheng Automobile Factory, the progress is very fast."
Yang Youning smiled on the side, "So, it's a shame that Lao Liu sent someone to study, otherwise we would have to send someone to him."
Several people smiled.
"Chief, there is a car coming outside."
At this moment, the publicity director of the steel plant came all the way over. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a car appear from the gate and slowly drive in.
Yang Youning and others threw their cigarette butts on the ground, "Here comes someone, let's welcome him."
Liu Huaimin took the lead, followed closely by Yang Youning and Yang Xiaotao, followed by Chen Gong, Guan Zhiyong and others.
The truck stopped, and a person got out of the passenger seat, and then seven or eight people jumped out of the truck.
"Secretary Liu and Lao Yang, it looks like we were the first to come."
The leading middle-aged man wore brown work clothes with the logo of Jinnan No. 1 Steel Plant on it and spoke with a Jin accent.
The people who came after him were all dressed in the same clothes and should be from the same place.
"Lao Mai, I know you are the first to be unable to sit still."
Yang Youning laughed loudly. They must be old friends. They hugged each other directly and then shook hands with Liu Huaimin.
"This is Yang Xiaotao, Mr. Yang, this young man is really handsome."
Yang Xiaotao was stunned. He had heard many people praise him for being young and promising, saying that he was capable, but this was the first time someone said that he was handsome.
This factory director really has a keen eye.
Honest person.
"Director Wheat, welcome."
"Haha, I've caused you trouble. I'm here with these incompetent people this time. You have to teach them a lesson."
The wheat factory manager smiled and introduced the people he brought to several people.
While he was talking, another truck drove in, this time five trucks came.
"Lao Mai, I'll go greet the guests first. Guan Zhiyong will take Director Mai to the venue."
"You're busy, no, no, no, we can just go there by ourselves."
As the director of the wheat factory said, he led people inside, and staff immediately handed out the prepared pamphlets to everyone.
At this time, a group of people got out of the car, and Yang Youning and several people quickly came forward to receive them.
At this time, we can see the benefits of Yang Youning, Liu Huaimin, and Chen Gong who have been involved in the "officialdom" all year round. They can always find acquaintances among the crowd.
Yang Xiaotao didn't recognize most of them, or rather, didn't recognize them at all. He could only shake hands with the visitors and say welcome or something like that.
