The train driver in the courtyard

The situation at the Beijing Machinery Factory over the past two years has been similar to the original timeline, and it hasn't been very good.

This is all because there are few orders, and the male workers have nothing to do all day, so they play with the little girls.

The factory workers only receive a basic wage each month, and they live a very hard life.

This situation was also common in later generations.

Many people are familiar with the situation in the 1990s.

To ensure good public order, the first step is to make the steamed buns bigger so that everyone has enough to eat.

Liu Feng, the factory manager, was anxious but helpless.

Jingcheng Machinery Factory is an old state-owned factory that used to mainly manufacture tractors.

Later, several large tractor factories were built in China, and the Beijing Machinery Factory could only do odd jobs repairing cars and tractors.

Upon learning that the Qianmen Locomotive Depot wanted to collaborate with the factory to organize an excavator repair team, Liu Feng immediately perked up.

"Is that the excavator that was in the newspaper the other day?"

"Yes, Li Aiguo said it himself."

“Such a big machine must earn more than repairing tractors. Liang Ladi, you’ve done a great job for our factory this time.”

Subsequently, the Beijing Machinery Factory convened a factory committee meeting.

Upon hearing about the collaboration with the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, the factory leaders all raised their hands in approval.

The news that the steel mill workers could eat meat twice a month had already spread throughout the capital, and they were very envious.

However, some factory leaders had doubts about the details.

"Factory manager, how do we cooperate? Are we going to send all the good workers to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot?"

"Yes, our factory's senior technicians are our only asset."

"Don't worry, I'll personally go to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot tomorrow." Liu Feng was also unwilling to take this approach.

Otherwise, this cooperation would not benefit Beijing Machinery Factory at all.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Li Aiguo arrived at the studio, he saw Liu Feng and Liang Ladi waiting outside.

Li Aiguo had dealt with factory director Liu Feng when manufacturing lithography machine parts.

"Hello, Director Liu."

"Brother Li, I'm bothering you again."

"You're too kind. You've really helped us. We're very grateful."

After exchanging a few casual words, Li Aiguo ushered the two into his studio, smiling and inviting them to sit down, and poured them some hot water.

"Brother Li, Comrade Liang Ladi has already introduced your idea of ​​cooperation, but how exactly should this cooperation be carried out?" Liu Feng asked impatiently.

In the original novel, Liu Feng is an upright and capable factory director, but unfortunately he is too fond of writing in his diary, which eventually leads to him being caught out.

So why would a decent person write a diary for no reason?

Li Aiguo had a good impression of Liu Feng and replied directly, "Director Liu, we understand your concerns. This time we have adopted a different approach."

"what?"

"Our maintenance depot is planning to set up an excavator repair team, which will be composed of mechanics from your factory. We will allocate a sum of money and a batch of materials to your factory every month as compensation."

After hearing Li Aiguo's solution, Liu Feng was completely stunned.

This method is indeed feasible and cleverly avoids the issue of worker ownership. The key question is whether it is compliant with regulations.
"Don't worry, Director Liu, we've already sent quite a few workers abroad, all using similar methods." Li Aiguo was still using the old method of labor dispatch.

The machinery factory sent people to help the Qianmen Locomotive Depot with their work, and the Qianmen Locomotive Depot paid them. There was no exploitation involved in the entire process.

The Qianmen Locomotive Depot solved the problem, the machine repair shop got the supplies, and the workers received their wages—it was a win-win-win situation.

"That's a good idea, Comrade Aiguo, let's do it this way." Liu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He then asked, "What requirements do you have for this batch of workers?"

"Excavators are large machines, involving oil and electrical systems, so we need at least a Level 5 mechanic. They need to be progressive in their thinking and hardworking." Li Aiguo plans to train a group of repairmen and then send them to the grassroots level.

In this situation, the personal qualities of these craftsmen become especially important.

"And what about the team leader?" Liu Feng asked again.

Li Aiguo looked up at Liang Ladi, then at Liu Feng: "Let your machinery factory decide this. Our requirement is that it's easy to communicate with." "Okay, okay." Liu Feng already had a plan in mind.

This matter was arranged by Liang Ladi, who is also Li Aiguo's neighbor in the same compound. Isn't that obvious?

Li Aiguo did indeed prefer Liang Ladi to be the team leader, after all, he knew her well and Liang Ladi's character was beyond reproach.

At this time, Section Chief Xing had already started work. Li Aiguo led Liu Feng into Section Chief Xing's office, where the two leaders discussed the specific procedures.

In the afternoon, the machinery factory passed a resolution to send a group of outstanding mechanics to work at the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, with the recruitment process being voluntary.

Upon hearing the news, the mechanics eagerly signed up.

Liang Ladi also signed up. If she really became an excavator repairman, her monthly salary would increase by five yuan, and she would also receive half a jin of refined white flour.

"Xiao Liang, come to my office."

Liu Feng also called Liang Ladi to his office and poured her some tea.

"Comrade Liang Ladi, after careful consideration, the factory has decided to appoint you as the team leader. You will work as a substitute for a manager, and your salary will be paid according to the standard for the deputy director of the workshop."

Hearing this, Liang Ladi was a little confused: "Factory manager, I'm just a lowly worker."

"I think you're quite suitable, so it's settled then." Liu Feng made the decision directly.

Liang Ladi felt that happiness had come too suddenly.

Liang Ladi's ability to raise several children in this era is a testament to her strong character.

She has always wanted to improve herself, but she has a low level of education, no background, and is not the type to be so welcoming and welcoming.

I thought I'd be content with being a mechanic for the rest of my life, but I never expected to become a leader.

After getting off work, Liang Ladi returned home. Nan Yi saw that she was beaming with joy and asked her what had happened.

Liang Ladi recounted the story, her brow furrowed in bewilderment: "Nanyi, tell me, why did the leader take a liking to me? Liu Feng seems like a very upright person, not the kind of person who would prey on female workers."

“You’re thinking too much.” Nan Yi explained to her, counting on her fingers: “This matter is actually very simple. Liu Feng is only helping you because of your patriotic brother.”

“That can’t be right. When we were discussing who would be the team leader, Li Aiguo didn’t mention my name at all,” Liang Ladi said in surprise.

"You're still too naive. Someone of Aiguo's stature doesn't need to be so direct in his actions." Nan Yi tapped Liang Ladi on the forehead.

After thinking about it carefully, Liang Ladi realized what he meant: "Brother Aiguo's original words were that we need to find someone who is easy to communicate with."

“That’s right, we’re neighbors, how could we not communicate?” Nan Yi slapped his thigh.

"Oh dear, we really have to thank Brother Aiguo this time. I'm going to buy groceries now." Liang Ladi suddenly stood up, went into the inner room to find the meat coupons and money, and hurriedly left the courtyard.

Meanwhile, Li Aiguo finished the blueprints for the bulldozer in his studio and then called a meeting with Zong Xianfeng and several key members of the Wild Automotive Experts team.

"We will strive to build the excavator in the shortest possible time."

"So eager?" Zong Xianfeng was somewhat surprised, knowing that the mass production of excavators was still in the preparation stage, and there was no rush to do these things.

"Has something happened?" the quick-witted automotive expert asked.

Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about.

After Li Aiguo left the office, the group was still puzzled. Finally, the untrained car expert remembered a rumor.

"I heard the military is going to visit the section. This bulldozer must be for the soldiers."

"Really?!" Zong Xianfeng's breathing became rapid.

He was thrilled at the thought of being able to help research military products.

The technicians were all energized.

"Hey, honey, I'm not coming home tonight!"

Just as important as excavators, bulldozers are well-suited for infrastructure work on the battlefield.

Digging one more trench and building one more fortification can save a lot of bloodshed.

Li Aiguo did indeed intend to include bulldozers in the military procurement list.

but.

Quality must be guaranteed.
