Chapter 312 Director Yang’s courage and responsibility
Director Yang led Professor Wu and Duan Hongxuan into the office building of the steel rolling mill. When they came to Director Yang’s office, a staff member made tea.
Director Yang invited Professor Wu and Duan Hongxuan to sit down on the sofa, "Old Wu, you are an old acquaintance. Come and try my new tea!
Classmate Duan Hongxuan, you’re welcome, come and have tea!”
"Thank you, Director Yang!" Duan Hongxuan took the tea cup with both hands and thanked Director Yang.
Director Yang deliberately made a serious face: "Hongxuan, why, you, a little genius, don't have such a bad memory, right?
Didn’t I say last time, don’t call me Director Yang in private? Call me Uncle Yang!”
Duan Hongxuan quickly followed Shan Ruliu: "Uncle Yang!"
"Hahaha! Okay! This is right! Come on, Uncle Yang, you're welcome!
Just follow your example, Professor Wu, he doesn’t even know what politeness means when he comes to my place!"
"I am a poor teacher. When I meet you, Lao Yang, who is the director of a large factory with tens of thousands of people, a wealthy landlord, how can I be polite to you?"
"What you said, Old Wu, is a bit shameful. I, Old Yang, only manage this factory for the country. All I do is revolutionary work. How can I be regarded as a landlord and a rich man!
When did you come here and I didn't serve you delicious food and drinks? Why, you're still not satisfied? Otherwise, if you apply to be transferred to our factory, I will definitely treat you, Old Wu, like a Bodhisattva.
What do you think, think about it?"
When Professor Wu heard this, he laughed and scolded: "Fuck you, you, Old Yang, are trying to seduce me with sugar-coated bullets again. I won't be fooled by you!
To deal with you, I will still use my old tricks. I will accept the sugar-coating, and I will hit you back with cannonballs!"
Director Yang also smiled and pointed at Professor Wu: "You, you, you, Old Wu, are still so cunning.
Forget it, I also understand that our small temple cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you, Old Wu. If you really come to our factory, it will be a waste of your talent!
Okay, let’s talk about business.
You are here for investigation this time. I can arrange it for you specifically as to what aspect you want to investigate.
However, it’s still the same as before. I take good care of you in life, and I also open the door for you in work. You, Lao Wu, also have to leave something for our factory!
But you can’t eat and drink enough and then slip away with just a touch of your mouth!”
Professor Wu laughed and said to Duan Hongxuan: "Hongxuan, do you see it?
You, Uncle Yang, are not a fuel-efficient lamp.
This is a guy who has no profit and can't afford to go early, and plucking his hair when the goose is too late.
Every time I come to their factory for investigation, in addition to my own work, I also have to help him give guidance to the technical staff of their factory.
When you deal with Uncle Yang in the future, you have to be careful and don’t let him scheme against you!"
Director Yang was unhappy when he heard this: "You, Old Wu, have no conscience!
Tell yourself, when you came here, I didn’t serve you with delicious food and drinks, and made you feel comfortable!
As a technical expert, what happened to the engineers in our factory who asked you to give them some advice?
You are still ruining my image in front of a junior. Let me tell you, this matter is not over yet. If you don’t come up with some useful information this time and give some guidance to our factory’s technical staff, I won’t agree!”
Professor Wu was speechless: "I am relying on you!
Okay, let’s get down to business! This time I came to investigate because of a key technical transformation project of the ministry.
Of course there is no problem in guiding the technical staff of your factory to help you, but in the end, how much benefit you, Old Yang, can get depends on whether you dare to take risks and how much support you are willing to give me, a student!"
"Oh?" Director Yang looked at Duan Hongxuan, "What's going on? Why does it have anything to do with you, a student? Please explain it to me clearly!"
Professor Wu considered it for a moment and said: "If we follow the normal process, I will just do some research and give guidance to your technical staff, and that's it.
However, if you, Lao Yang, are more courageous, willing to take some risks, and give me more support as a student, maybe your factory, Lao Yang, can have a big presence across the country under your leadership.
Of course, risks and opportunities are equal, it depends on whether you, Lao Yang, have the courage!"
When Director Yang heard this, he slapped the table and said, "You, Old Wu, don't do this to me!
Please explain it to me first. What risks do I need to take? How much profit is there?
My surname is Yang, but I am not lacking in courage at all!
Even if we are old acquaintances, and even if I am willing to help you take the risk, I have to bear the risk clearly, and I can't be confused!"
"Okay! To tell you the truth, does your factory have any machine tools that cannot be used and have been sealed up?"
Director Yang looked at Professor Wu suspiciously: "What do you mean? Even if the equipment is temporarily unusable, it is still a treasure. You don't know that, right?"
Professor Wu nodded: "Of course I know this!
Let me tell you, Lao Yang, my student is truly a genius.
It is not an exaggeration to say that his true mechanical level, I suspect that he has probably surpassed me!"
"Are you kidding?" Director Yang stared at Duan Hongxuan, who was silent, with wide eyes, and then at Professor Wu.
"We don't deal with each other just once or twice. You, Lao Yang, should also know what kind of person I am!
As I mentioned earlier, I have a key technical reform project assigned by the ministry. Last year, we gathered professors and experts from the entire department and managed to solve a few problems. Then we were stumped by the remaining problems.
, the entire project is stuck there with no progress!
Finally, after discussion in the department, we believe that with our current level, more than 90% of the remaining problems may not be solved.
In the end, I was asked to continue public relations with a few graduate students, and they were all teaching students. Wait until next year and hand in this half-finished sandwich project!
But I was lucky. As soon as I accepted this student and brought him to the laboratory on the first day, Hongxuan spent two hours understanding the project, and then spent less than an hour solving all the remaining problems.
, and the entire project has been optimized!
Tell me yourself, what level should I be as a student?"
"No way?" Director Yang couldn't close his mouth, "Are you kidding me?"
Professor Wu choked angrily: "I have nothing to do, so I came here to tease you!"
"Tell me to slow down, my mind is a little confused right now!" Director Yang rubbed his face with both hands, "What you said is really unbelievable!
How big is Hongxuan!"
Professor Wu snorted coldly: "Humph! Let alone you, if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.
But the facts are the facts, and I don’t have the time to come to you and make up a lie for you!"
"Then what do you mean...?" Director Yang asked Professor Wu tentatively.
"My student guaranteed me that if he could dismantle a machine tool, he would most likely be able to imitate it. How about that? Is it a surprise?"
Factory Director Yang was now numb with shock, "Copycat machine tools? As far as I know, no one in China can do it!
Classmate Duan Hongxuan, can you really do it?"
Duan Hongxuan looked up at Director Yang and replied confidently: "At least 90% sure, as long as you are willing to believe me and give me a chance!"
Looking at the handsome and confident face in front of him, Director Yang really didn’t know whether to believe it or not.
Director Yang and Duan Hongxuan looked at each other for a long time, then took out his cigarettes, lit one, took two deep puffs, then stood up, smoking and pacing in the office thoughtfully. Professor Wu and Duan Hongxuan drank tea in silence and looked at Director Yang who was pacing in the room.
Director Yang finished smoking a cigarette, walked up to Professor Wu and Duan Hongxuan, and asked in a deep voice: "Old Wu, what do your school and your department say?"
Professor Wu sighed: "Alas! Our department head is willing to believe Hongxuan and has already applied to the school, but I think it is difficult!
The head of the department is willing to take this risk. Even if the school does not agree in the end, he is just vouching for himself and then applying to the department in the name of the series. I think this matter is still hanging in the balance!
After all, my student is too young and has not yet reached adulthood!
With his face and his age, who would believe him!"
"Yeah, you're still too young after all!" Director Yang muttered, "If you really take out a piece of equipment and ask him to dismantle it, if it doesn't succeed, then it will destroy a piece of equipment. This is no small matter.
At that time, even me, the director of the factory, will be embarrassed. Maybe the director of this steel rolling mill will have to be replaced!
But if it really succeeds, then our steel rolling mill can put a big satellite across the country. Not to mention the credit, with so much imported equipment, the country will no longer have to spend a lot of foreign exchange to hire foreign experts to maintain it.
Repaired.
The most important thing is that we no longer need to buy equipment from abroad in the future. How much foreign exchange will this save the country!
Moreover, we can imitate these equipment ourselves, and those factories that lack equipment will have equipment available. What a big role this can play in the country's industrial development!"
The more Director Yang spoke, the more excited he became, and his steps became faster and faster. Finally, he suddenly stood firm and looked at Duan Hongxuan excitedly, "Classmate Duan Hongxuan, I am asking you solemnly now, are you really sure?
Can a machine tool be copied?"
Duan Hongxuan nodded solemnly: "Ninety percent!"
"Old Wu, are you willing to believe you as a student?"
Professor Wu seemed to feel something when he heard Director Yang ask this question, and replied excitedly and firmly: "I believe him!"
"Okay!" Factory Manager Yang waved his hand violently, "If you want to make a profit, you have to take risks!
How much profit you want, you have to take as much risk!
Waiting for applications from your department in your school, it’s a bit unreliable!
I, Lao Yang, am willing to take this risk. The worst case scenario is that I, the factory director, will be fired in the end!
If it really succeeds, it will make a huge contribution to our factory and our country, and the industrial production of the entire country will reach a big level!
Just for this, it’s worth taking any risk! Not to mention the black gauze hat of me, the factory director, it’s worth exchanging my head named Yang!
Now let alone Duan Hongxuan, who is 90% sure, even if he is only half sure, it is worth taking the risk!
I agree to this!"
"Really?" Professor Wu stood up excitedly.
Duan Hongxuan was also moved by Director Yang. This was the first time he truly felt the great sentiment of the revolutionary cadres of this era who had the courage to take responsibility for the development and construction of the country, regardless of personal gains and losses!
