Chapter 1088: To be a leader, you need to eat brains

"Smash it open?"

"If this kind of slope is broken, it will be difficult to deal with it later. Will there be water leakage from below?"

The few people who followed him up listened to Deputy Director Li's prompt decision to open the dormer window. They all looked embarrassed, but no one said anything.

Chief Engineer Shen stood in front of the slope, looking at it carefully, wondering if he was looking for the load-bearing structure.

Director Kang of the workshop, seeing that no one else objected, had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to dissuade them.

Li Feng wanted to cool down the workshop as quickly as possible, and he knew it was all for the good of the employees. However, if production was delayed in the winter and the rainy season just for the sake of one summer, it would not be worth it.

"Comrades, the factory building has been in use for ten years since its construction!"

Others did not express their attitudes, but not expressing their attitudes was the best attitude at this time. They might have been worried that removing the skylight would affect subsequent production.

Li Feng felt that he still needed to give lessons to the elderly people working in the steel rolling mill.

Sometimes, it is not that Li Feng likes to select young cadres, but that young cadres dare to act without too many hesitations, while the older cadres in the factory have already formed a fixed mindset.

Everything can remain as it is, and the only hope is that the task can be completed, then any problem will not be a problem. It is too stable, so stable that when Li Feng sees problems happening, he can only watch anxiously.

"Back then, I also followed my father and watched these factories being built layer by layer by their hands. This is the result of the hard work of the older generation of employees. I know what everyone thinks~!"

With the heavy tone at the beginning, everyone's attention was attracted. Li Feng chose a tactful way to try to persuade them.

"At the beginning, everything was in ruins and there was no other way. We had to bite the bullet and go ahead. We had to take care of it no matter what happened. But now it's ten years later. We can't just turn a blind eye to the workers' current working environment. So what is the role of us cadres?"

Speaking of this, Li Feng's mood became heavier, and his tone was somewhat distressed. For ten years, he had to open his mouth and wait for food to be fed every day, which had imprisoned him in his own world. He was afraid of this and that when doing things, and was afraid of taking responsibilities. How could he get anything done?

Faced with Li Feng's questioning, everyone shut their mouths and did not dare to look him in the eye. Even if they glanced at him, they subconsciously turned their heads away.

Even though Li Feng's words were tactful enough, there was still a hint of indifference between the lines. In this regard, they knew how to listen to what he said.

"We are not going to demolish the steel mill's hard work, but to modernize the factory building, so that we can continue to push forward the socialist industrial construction~!"

"What we, the factory leadership team, have to do is to carry on the past and usher in the future. You are almost the same generation as my father and have laid the industrial foundation for the factory. But ten years later, we can no longer rest on our laurels and continue to be conservative. We must seek development with a pioneering mindset and an enterprising spirit!"

The sunlight after noon was very dazzling, and the roof of the factory was very hot. The sweat on Li Feng's cheeks flowed down his neck and to his spine, and his entire short-sleeved shirt was soaked with sweat.

Other leaders, including the workshop directors and managers from other workshops who climbed up later, were also feeling very hot at this time. Li Feng, standing under the scorching sun, with his thought-provoking voice, made these cadres sweat even faster.

No one expected that Deputy Director Li would be so angry just because of today's safety accident about two ordinary workers.

Director Kang, who had just tried to stop Li Feng, was no longer sweating. His face was pale and he could hardly stand. He felt that all these criticisms were directed at him.

It's terrible...

"I am the deputy factory director. I am responsible for production safety. First of all, I will criticize myself. I came to the workshop less often, did not have a deep understanding of the workers' working environment, and was careless about the safety hazards in the workshop and did not discover them in time. I am ashamed of the trust of the employees~!"

Poking his chest, Li Feng looked at the factory that stretched into the distance, where there were thousands of workers working in the same environment.

As the deputy factory director, he did not come up from the production line and does not have much experience in this area, but that is no excuse.

The last time he entered the welding workshop, he only thought of turning down the fan in the factory, but ignored the root cause of the problem, which led to the occurrence of this accident. He is indeed responsible.

The workers believed in him and elected him up the ranks, from the Transport Department to the Chairman of the Trade Union, and finally to the Logistics Department, and even to his current position as Deputy Factory Director. It was a short period of time, so short that it was hard for anyone to believe. This was precisely because of this initial trust.

"I will report the safety accident that occurred during the production process to my superiors and be honest about the consequences. But I hope that we will not cover up the problem in the future. If there is a problem, I will work with everyone to actively solve it~!"

Now that the problem has occurred, someone must take responsibility.

Li Feng decided to take the blame himself. He had not arrived at the school for this accident. Even if he had arrived at the school, he was negligent if he had not discovered it before.

As the deputy factory director, Li Huaide could pass the buck to someone else, or even to Factory Director Yang. But Li Feng, who had traveled through time and space for several years, couldn't do that. He hadn't forgotten his original intention. In his previous life, he hated leaders who passed the buck the most.

"This is not just your fault. We have been in the factory longer than you and should have been the first to discover the problem. We were also negligent in our work."

Chief Engineer Shen, who had been observing the sloping roof in the middle, sighed. Li Feng expressed his opinion, but he couldn't pretend that he knew nothing.

"The factory building must be renovated, comrades. Deputy Secretary Li is right. Although he is young, he is full of courage and initiative. With him leading us, we don't have to worry about the consequences~!"

"The construction site of the family quarters has already started, and the lives of the employees are beginning to change. Look at how well Ping An Driving School is doing now. If Lao Jiang had rejected this suggestion outright, he wouldn't be the principal now~!"

Perhaps because the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Chief Engineer Shen gave an example and brought up Jiang Xianda, which made the situation more relaxed.

Yes, at least, Li Feng and Li Huaide have different working styles. If something goes wrong because they are doing practical work, he will take the responsibility instead of throwing others out to bear the brunt of the consequences.

But if they continue to turn a blind eye to the problem and make no progress in production, not only those people in the agency, but they themselves will probably be close to leaving their management positions.

"I agree to modernize the workshops and buildings of the steel rolling mill to adapt to future development~!"

"I agree. We've been working on and off, and the production is unstable. We still have to worry about accidents. It's been delayed until now. It's time to solve it properly~!"

Deputy Director Li expressed his opinion and Chief Engineer Shen also agreed. With Jiang Xianda as a typical example, the timidity and resistance in everyone's hearts gradually subsided.

"Hey~, Deputy Secretary Li, just tell us how to do it, and we can do it right away~!"

Some people who were weak could not stand up. After coming up, they found how hot it was up there. They finally realized the hardships of being a worker. They could not bear it any longer. If they continued to bear it, they might have to lie down and go to the hospital.

After gathering the minds of these cadres, Li Feng led them to walk around the roof, and finally lay down on the edge and shouted downwards.

"Which master down there, please throw me a talcum powder pen~!"

"I have it, here~!"

Welders carry it with them to mark steel fittings. Although he didn't know what Deputy Director Li was going to do, he still threw it up.

"Here, here, and here. Make a hole about every three meters. The size of the hole should be about 30 centimeters. Keep it in a circle~!"

"Is this for something?"

Chief Engineer Shen watched Li Feng walking and drawing circles along the way, took off his safety helmet, fanned himself, and asked.

"I would like to install the fan upside down, but I think the wiring and waterproofing won't work~!"

After getting the size and distance under control, Li Feng stopped the work at hand. Some people heard that he wanted to install the electric fan, and install it upside down. Some people had not reacted yet, but some people had already reacted.

The fan is installed in reverse so that the hot air gathered at the top can be blown out at the back. This thing has a professional name, called an exhaust fan, but fans are rare these days. As for exhaust fans, Li Feng really doesn't know if there are any manufacturers making them.

"Oh, that's a good idea. Indeed, the waterproofing is not good. The fan gap is too big~!"

Chief Engineer Shen, as he is a technical person by background, was the first to react to Li Feng's idea. It would be a little troublesome to transform technology into productivity, even if it involves electricity, but there must be no water leakage in the factory.

Once there is a leak, it is easy to be connected to electricity. No matter the value of the electric welding machine in the workshop or the current it generates, rainwater cannot be allowed to get close to it. This is why Director Kang is against demolishing the roof.

"If the wall is vertical, then we can install it. Since we can't install it on the top, then we can install it on the windows below. The Materials Department has spare motors, and with the help of belt drive, we can make a batch of exhaust fans ourselves~!"

"As long as a row of exhaust fans are installed on the west windows to extract the hot air inside, the southeast monsoon in summer will come in through the east windows due to the reduced air pressure difference inside the factory~!"

Li Feng squatted on the ground and drew a simple blueprint on the floor with a slate pencil, including the direction of the airflow inside the workshop, entering from the east and exiting from the west. In this way, the airflow in the workshop can be fully activated and the outside air can come in.

Anyone who knows a little about physics can understand this kind of diagram, but usually no one points it out and no one would think that once someone explains the principle, it will be very simple.

Li Feng once again stood on the shoulders of giants, using the monsoon knowledge he learned in geography class in his previous life, plus a little bit of the air flow principles he learned in physics class.

"The east window can be connected to a water pipe, and water can drip down to form a water curtain, which will lower the temperature of the incoming air!"
