Chapter 1123: Red Star Bridge Completion "Ribbon Cutting"

Anjiazhuang construction site.

The hot autumn heat has passed, and for the construction workers, it can be said that the most difficult time is over.

Of course, next summer is next year’s matter, but this year, for these people, they can really make money.

After lunch, the workers who were taking a break found a place under the shade of a tree and chatted in groups of three or four, gossiping about all sorts of things. After all, the excitement after receiving their wages had not yet passed.

Most people have worked on the fields for half their lives. How can that salary be compared with the food they can exchange for work points? Those are colorful banknotes and cash. Every month, they can only exchange some money for needles and thread by selling some eggs and goose eggs to the supply and marketing cooperatives.

"Oh, this is actually pretty good. I can pay some back to the village, and use the rest to pay for my kids' tuition and buy textbooks. I'll even have some left over~!"

"Lao Han, how much does your village want you to pay?"

"Why? Aren't all of them about the same? How much did you pay?"

The whistle for work has not been blown yet, and the topic of conversation is basically all about this. School has just started, and the wages I get are basically used to pay the tuition for the children at home. At this time of year in previous years, people would be so worried that their hair would shed.

"Hey, tell me, with just two hundred of us, how long will it take to finish building this? Will we recruit more people from the village later?"

"It's hard to say. If we're in a hurry, we won't have enough people. I hope that with just a few of us, the longer we work, the better. We can save some money for our family. When the steel mill builds a building, we can move in, and we should also build a new house for our kids~!"

"The car is coming. Is there someone coming from the factory again?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a cloud of dust rising from the distant skyline. The scene was relatively small at first and no one noticed it, but after the dust rose, it could be seen that it was a large convoy coming from the west~!

Before he finished speaking, the team leader in charge of each team blew the whistle around his neck.

“Ah~~~, time to work, time to work~!”

"I guess the leaders from above are here to inspect. Let's go, guys~!"

The whistle that was blown in advance also alarmed the project department. After all, the time had not yet come. Old Ge, who was resting after dinner, jumped up from the bed. After walking out of the door, he saw the scene of the convoy coming.

"That's weird, aren't all the cars at the driving school?"

Having said that, Lao Ge still called several responsible persons over. There were no government agencies here, and so many cars were obviously heading for the construction site. They were transferred from the investigation department to the steel rolling mill, so Lao Ge still maintained this caution.

However, Lao Ge, who was waiting at the entrance of the project department, found that the convoy did not drive towards the construction site, but stopped at the Hongxing Bridge and had no intention of coming here.

"Manager Duan, why don't we go take a look too~!"

The convoy was really grand, and the cars parked in a row were all small cars. Song Yicheng from the maintenance department looked at Lao Ge's empty sleeves and asked tentatively.

"Let's go together~!"

This side of Red Star Bridge.

Li Feng, who got off the car first, looked at the bridge that had just been built by the factory after two or three months of construction. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the workmanship was a bit rough.

There is no other way. After all, it was rushed. The masters in the welding workshop worked in shifts and shortened the time span to the current level.

His vision came from the various fancy bridges he had seen in reality and on the Internet before he traveled through time. This Red Star Bridge had not even had time to be painted, and the color of the steel itself was revealed. Looking at it, it only made him feel that it was very heavy.

It doesn't matter if it's ugly, as long as it works, Li Feng is a pragmatist. Anyway, the current bridges are not very good-looking. This is made by our own factory, so it should be strong and durable, which is its function. "Did we build this bridge ourselves?"

Jiang Xianda, who came here for the first time, touched the handrail on the side of the bridge and looked at the bridge with a span of more than 30 meters standing on the river. His expression was a little unbelievable.

Before, he had only heard about it and had no time to come and see it. This time, if Li Feng hadn't come back specially, he would probably have to wait until the family building was completely built before coming over.

Li Feng set up a driving school, which made him a lot of money, and now he is exploring new areas in infrastructure.

Looking at the stone tablet that had been erected by the bridge, Li Feng read the names carved on it and waved to Accountant Zhang.

"Where's the money from the Finance Department~!"

"Here it comes~!"

"Distribute it in public. Give the bonuses to the masters first. We have no shortage of money. Since you've agreed, then distribute it~!"

Seeing Accountant Zhang was about to come over to him, Li Feng waved his hand and distributed money to the workers who worked overtime in front of the leaders of various departments of the steel rolling mill.

"It's not a lot of money, just about one month's salary for each person. This is the largest bonus the factory can offer. Thank you for your hard work!"

Since Accountant Zhang brought the money with him, he naturally knew what to do with it. He handed envelopes to Li Feng one by one, and Li Feng personally presented them to the welders on the spot, shook their hands in person, and said words of thanks.

The welders looked at the stone tablet with their names engraved on it next to Li Feng, all with smiles on their faces. After receiving the envelope, they felt both proud and honored, especially in front of all the middle-level managers of the factory.

In fact, my disciples and grandchildren have received countless respectful looks before, but at this moment, here, they are all cadres~!

After the "award ceremony" was over, amid the applause of the cadres, everyone who had made contributions to the Red Star Bridge was taken care of, even those whose names were not on the stone tablet, and all received a bonus.

"Everyone, go up to the bridge and take a look. This is our own child from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill~!"

After waving his hand, the cadres who came by car looked at each other, not understanding what Deputy Director Li meant, but still went up to the bridge to visit.

In groups of three or four, people began to comment on the bridge they built. Some even jumped on the bridge to feel its weight for themselves.

After everyone had seen almost everything, Li Feng signaled everyone to gather together and told them the purpose of bringing everyone here today.
"I know everyone has questions. The bridge is built, so why did you bring everyone here to take a look? We just had a meal, so why not take a rest?"

"Compared to the family housing, this small Red Star Bridge is indeed not worthy of being mentioned on the stage, but for our steel rolling mill, it is a new milestone project, and its importance even exceeds that of the family housing~!"

"In the steel industry, our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill belongs to the mid- and downstream processing. We complete whatever tasks are assigned by the superiors. But have you ever considered that our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has never had its own products in the true sense~!"

"The Red Star Bridge is a product that we designed, processed and built ourselves!"

Pointing at the bridge deck, Li Feng said in a loud voice, "Waiting and relying on others is like a spinning top, which will only move once it is whipped. This is the problem of rigid thinking faced by many cadres."

The next ten years will not mean there will be no development. There are many things that can be done in ten years. When the steel rolling mill lags behind its peers, it should catch up and regain its vitality in the new era.

"What is a product? It is part of productivity and one of the important indicators to measure the level of productivity. Don't think that our factory has a driving school that has helped many people learn skills. But if you ask me, compared with the future bridge infrastructure, it is just a small thing. It can't be considered productivity, nor a product~!"

"my country has a dense network of rivers. It is definitely not enough to rely on engineering troops alone for bridge construction. In the future, state-owned enterprises will definitely be needed to solve the problem. This is not a waste of time, but a positive development towards the downstream industry of steel. This Red Star Bridge is a new starting point for our factory~!"

"I hope everyone will remember this day, and please don't fall behind~!"
