The group of people followed Guo Jiahua to the small conference room of the factory and sat down on the sofa. Guo Jiahua called the staff, poured tea for everyone, and said a few words to Pan Yue, such as how rare his tea was.
Then he turned to Xu Ying and asked: "Director Xu, is it up to you to introduce this matter to Mr. Valance?"
Xu Ying waved her hand, pointed at Gao Fan with a smile, and said: "I don't bother you about anything. Since Xiaofan started this matter, let him introduce it to Mr. Valance."
The name she gave Gao Fan obviously had some connotation of endearment, which made both Guo Jiahua and Pan Yue feel a little surprised, but it was inconvenient to ask. Guo Jiahua said with a smile: "That's right, Mr. Valance and Mr. Pan Yue
They were all invited by Xiao Gao. Only Xiao Gao can really explain this matter clearly, so let Xiao Gao introduce the situation to Mr. Valance. I think Mr. Valance is also very interested in Xiao Gao."
Hearing that the two leaders had kicked the ball to him, Gao Fan was not pretentious. He nodded to Xu and Guo, then turned to Valance and asked:
"Mr. Valance, you have been here for a month. I would like to ask, what do you think of the Maohua Machine?"
Valance said: "I think this company is very good. The workers are very diligent and smart. The only shortcoming is that the machinery and equipment are too old, which prevents these smart workers from mastering more advanced production processes."
Of course, this was said in a more artistic way, and everyone could hear that he thought that the workers of the Maohua Machinery were a bit behind in technology. However, several of the people present here were also knowledgeable people, and they knew that Valance’s evaluation was not exaggerated.
Points. It is generally accepted that China is technologically backward. If an American says it, no one will be angry.
"So, do you think workers at the Maohua machine can master the more advanced production techniques you mentioned?" Gao Fan continued to ask.
Valance nodded seriously and said: "I think they can completely master it. I called the factory in the United States and asked, and my subordinates told me that the workers sent from China for training last month have now mastered it.
Understand the basic operation of CNC machine tools.
"They said that if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe that these Chinese workers had never seen CNC machine tools before. You know, it would take at least half a year for American workers to master these basic operations from scratch.
time."
"The workers we sent did not start from scratch." Gao Fan corrected, "They were originally skilled lathes, millers, and grinders. What they lacked was just knowledge of CNC machine tools. And the ones you mentioned take half a year.
American workers, I think, are young people who have never been in a factory, right?”
Valance said: "Yes, yes, you are right. However, even so, the learning speed of these Chinese workers is still very amazing. They are very diligent and are still studying the operation manual of the machine tool after work.
"
"If that's the case, then Director Xu and Factory Director Guo can rest assured." Gao Fan smiled at Xu and Guo who were standing aside. The two men nodded in agreement, and there were indeed some smile lines on their faces.
The workers sent to the United States to receive CNC machine tool training are all carefully selected. In addition to the outstanding machine tool workers from Maohua Machinery Factory, there are also several people transferred from other factories in the province. The province
We have high hopes for these people, hoping that they can learn some skills and raise the technical level of workers in Maolin Province to a higher level.
Due to the inconvenience of communication, Xu Ying and Guo Jiahua did not know much about the study situation of these workers in the United States, and they had always wanted to find an opportunity to ask Valance. Now Gao Fan asked for them, and he listened to Valance.
, they were quite satisfied with these workers, and Xu Ying and Guo Jiahua felt relieved.
"So, what's the situation like for workers here in China?" Gao Fan continued to ask.
This time, Valance's answer was not so straightforward. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think it should be okay."
"What should it mean?" Gao Fan asked with a smile.
Valance also smiled and said: "Some workers are very skilled in skills. There are a few old workers who I heard are your eighth-level workers. Their machine tool operation skills are much better than mine."
"The situation here is also very good. There are some old workers who are even more skilled than me." Valance said.
"In other words, there are other people whose situation is not as satisfactory?" Gaofan spoke up for Valance.
"I think Mr. Guo must have told you something, right?" Valance pointed at Guo Jiahua and said.
Although the cooperation between Odin Factory and Maohua Machinery was promoted by Gao Fan, and Valance had a good impression of Gao Fan, in his heart, there was another concern, that is, Gao Fan was actually his customer.
Or to be precise, they are the common customers of Maohua Machinery and Odin Factory.
Gao Fan's loan from Hatch Group has been received, and Canghua Technology and Trade Company has officially signed agreements with Maohua Machinery and Aoding Factory, entrusting these two companies to jointly manufacture vitamin C devices. The middle of this device
The technically more difficult parts were handed over to the Odin factory, while most of the less technically difficult parts were handed over to the joint venture Maao Chemical Machinery Factory.
As a shareholder who owns 49% of Maao Chemical Machinery Factory, Valance certainly does not want customers to doubt the company's capabilities, so he has been hesitant about whether he should admit the current problems to Gao Fan. He sees Gao Fan and Xu Ying
, Guo Jiahua has a very good relationship, and he feels that Gao Fan should know Maohua Machinery very well. Since he cannot understand the relationship between Chinese people, he is happy to let Guo Jiahua communicate with Gao Fan.
"In the past month, Mr. Valance has punished no less than 50 workers. Some had their bonuses deducted, and more than a dozen were directly fired by him." Guo Jiahua said to Gao Fan with a wry smile.
"Expelled?" Gao Fan was a little surprised.
"Of course they are not really fired." Guo Jiahua explained, "However, Mr. Valance said that these dozen workers lacked the basic sense of discipline and could not stay in the workshop. We had no choice but to temporarily arrange them
Went to the service company. The factory has done a lot of work for this matter."
"This is a good thing."
Seeing Guo Jiahua's depressed look, Gao Fan showed no psychological pressure at all. He said: "This is exactly the purpose of my suggestion to the Department of Chemical Industry to invite Mr. Valance to take over production management. Our corporate management is too lax, and everyone is too lax.
, if we don’t pay attention to discipline, we really have to invite Americans to teach us lessons.”
