Chapter 1260 The Difficult Road to Transformation and Upgrading

The feeling of impending storm spread from top to bottom to every one of the more than 10,000 employees of the Red Star Factory within a month.

Everyone was vaguely aware of the changes that were about to take place in the factory. Some people were worried, some were fearless, but it was obvious that for most people, smiles had rarely been seen on their faces in the past month.

Compared to when the General Logistics Department took over last month, the situation has been slightly better in the past few days. Maybe I have gotten used to it, or maybe I have forced myself to accept the reality.

The officers and soldiers of the General Logistics Department in military uniforms are no longer as conspicuous as they were at the beginning when walking in the factory area. When they go to the canteen to get meals, they line up and sit down like normal employees.

After get off work, in the auditorium, these officers and soldiers, like the staff, can occasionally be seen watching TV together. Some of them are familiar with each other and will even nod to each other when they meet.

Although neither party could call out each other's name, it was enough for them to look familiar.

"There is still room for further improvement in the workshop's machine tools. As for the manufacturers, don't even think about looking for them. Aren't there all the level 7 and 8 workers here? If anything is missing, just rub it in by hand. You can make your own living. Aren't the precision standards of the forging dies produced by the second workshop higher?"

"The machine tools in workshop 1 are different~!"

"What do you mean by different? These are the conditions. If you think it's not good enough, then change people and let people who are good at it do it. If I have an industrial machine tool, why would I need you? I can replace all the machine tools in a workshop by myself~!"

In the office of a workshop, the sounds of quarrels spread to the entire workshop and could not be covered up even by the noisy sounds of the machines.

Especially when the table was slammed, the teacup fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. The employees who were working couldn't help but become cautious and quite nervous.

Generally speaking, the more loud the noise is, the stricter the quality inspection of the processed parts will be. Those who do not do their job well or cause many problems will be criticized, and the criticism will be severe.

"Put your heart into it. Even if you work a little slower, it won't be a big deal as long as you raise the standard. If you just sloppily produce all the parts and the results are all unqualified, you're just asking for trouble~!"

Aunt Chen, the female worker foreman, stood outside the office door and listened for a while. She found that the office had become strangely quiet. She took off her gloves and returned to the female workers' workstations, inspecting each workstation with a stern face.

The caliper in my hand is much stricter than the previous requirements. Corresponding to the drawings, if the positive or negative errors are too large, rework is required on site. If rework is not possible, it will be thrown directly into the scrap basket.

There are already quite a few parts piled up that cannot be reworked, for example, the inner diameter of parts that have been turned too large cannot be reduced. The best result is to return them to the furnace and be remade.

This undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on the upstream workshops, but at this point, they have no choice. In the past, they could still make some concessions and stuff it into the finished products to get away with it.

But now everyone in the factory has strict requirements from top to bottom. If it works, it means it works, and if it doesn’t, it means it doesn’t work. There is no such thing as making do.

"Sister Chen, the output is really not worth mentioning. With this kind of work efficiency, I can only process half of my usual output in a day~!"

After turning off the rotating lathe in front of her, the female worker removed the processed faucet valve core from the fixture and carefully checked the burrs and chamfers on it. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, which showed that fine processing was not easy.

"You wish~!"

"Now, I just want everyone to get familiar with the situation in advance and get back the feel for the assessment. It won't work if we just chat and talk nonsense like before. I won't say anything because you haven't produced much recently. But if the production is increased later, I won't come to you if you can't keep up~!"

After taking over the processed valve core, Aunt Chen meticulously measured the inner diameter, outer diameter and inner hole. Seeing that there was no problem, her expression improved a little, but her tone of voice was still harsh.

It must be said that this is the case in the entire workshop. If you want to process qualified parts, it is different from the past. You must show the same concentration as during the upgrade assessment to complete it.

Not to mention getting together to chat like before, even when working, no one is distracted anymore.

If in the past a fourth-level worker was doing the work of a third-level worker, now everyone has to process parts according to their corresponding grade standards. Sometimes, they may even encounter processing difficulties that are one level higher than their current level.

"Think about it, this is for everyone's good. Last year's test pass rate was not ideal. The reason is that we didn't practice enough and didn't set high standards for ourselves. Some people didn't even dare to take the test. Registration doesn't cost money, right~!"

Qin Huairu, who was a figurehead, remained silent at this moment. As long as her name was not mentioned, it meant that no one was talking about her. She no longer had the energy to listen to what Aunt Chen said. The file in her hand was struggling with the mold on the clamping bed.

"The factory gives us this opportunity to practice slowly. It's okay to start slowly. As long as you can process it the first time, there will be a second and a third time. After you are familiar with it, there will be an assessment at the end of the year. You will be promoted in no time and your salary will be higher in the future~!" There is a sense of forcing things to happen between the lines. Indeed, in the past, it was a slow process and whether you could be promoted or not depended on whether you wanted to. But now the factory is like a whip and you have no choice but to strive for progress.

"The factory is facing a new round of revolution, and so are we workers. I have a low level of education and can't say anything nice, but we should be serious just to get higher wages after upgrading our technology~!"

"I have expressed this to Director Guo, and the leaders of other teams are also in the same boat. For workers with outstanding performance, the workshop will give praise and rewards. The higher-ups are probably discussing this in a meeting. After it is approved, those who do a good job and have a high pass rate may receive rewards at that time~!"

"Don't say I didn't tell you in advance, and don't be jealous and come to me to complain. Why can others process it but you can't?"

When she said the last sentence, Aunt Chen was already standing next to Qin Huairu's workstation. It was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Picking up the processed parts on her desk and looking at the pits left by the file on the surface, Aunt Chen frowned.

Turning around, she walked to another student workstation, picked up a component that had been processed by someone else, and walked straight back to Qin Huairu and handed her the component.

"Look at others, then look at yours~!"

The tone was no longer stiff, but rather questioning, because the apprentice's second year had not yet begun, and Qin Huairu still had half a year to sign up for the regularization assessment.

"When using a scraper, the force should be even. When filing with a file, the force should also be even. It's okay if the surface is uneven, but you didn't notice that the thickness is uneven. There are 50 threads. You can see it with your eyes without a ruler or caliper~!"

Qin Huairu lifted the hair hanging from her temples and remained silent. She looked at Aunt Chen handing over the parts processed by others. She wanted to cry at this moment.

"And your hair, have you done it? Either cut it or pin it up with a hairpin and put it in the machine. I can even pull your scalp off~!"

Aunt Chen has completely lost her patience. As for Qin Huairu, she has already seen that she is a hopeless case. It was difficult enough to process low-level products in the past, not to mention that the factory's standards have suddenly been raised.

Others can take it slow in the past one or two months and gradually improve their processing skills, but Qin Huairu has been taking it slow for more than two years. Aunt Chen no longer has any hope of helping her reach the level of a first-class worker in a short period of time and be able to successfully process all the parts of a first-class worker while maintaining the qualified standards.

"Go wash your face, tidy yourself up, think carefully, do it if you can, if you really can't do it, don't practice the parts, it's a waste, go to the cafeteria to pick vegetables~!"

Qin Huairu, who had just turned around and was about to go to the bathroom to wash her face, paused and looked at her in disbelief after hearing the second half of Aunt Chen's words.

"I have no choice. The factory has set a transfer quota. Those who cannot work in the workshop will go to the logistics department to wash vegetables, pick vegetables and sweep the streets. If the logistics department is not good enough, they will go to support the third line~!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, making the male and female workers nearby even more cautious. They used to be able to help out, but now they can only take care of themselves. It seems that the higher-ups have made up their minds.

The workload has been reduced, but the product quality requirements have been increased. For those who want to do it, it is not very difficult. It’s just that they are used to being idle in the past, and now they are managed more strictly, so they are not used to it at first. It’s not that they really can’t do it.

Besides, there is still time to adapt. If we take it slowly, we will eventually be able to improve. Once the skills are good, we will not be afraid of the assessments. If there are extra rewards, then it will be a mixture of pain and happiness.

To improve her skills, she can only rely on herself. If Qin Huairu wants to ask others for help now, others can only teach her by sharing their own insights. She still has to rely on herself to gain proficiency.

Qin Huairu, with a complicated expression on her face, paced to the door of the workshop. Standing at the door, she could see that construction had already begun on the vacant land behind the transportation department, and a first floor had been built. The changes in the factory could be said to be increasing day by day.

For her, the conditions at home had finally improved, but within a few months, the conditions at the factory had become worse. She was transferred to logistics, but definitely not to the logistics warehouse. The warehouse keeper had just arrested a group of people a few days ago, so it would be even more difficult to get in.

If you really do jobs like sweeping the floor and picking vegetables, your life will be over. Not to mention the food rationing, you can't even lift your head in the factory. That's the job of temporary workers, and only people who have been relocated from rural areas to the city will do this kind of work.

At this moment, she really didn't know what to do. There was Cui Dake behind her. She felt so aggrieved and just wanted to talk to Cui Dake.

"Qi, what if you bought a family housing? You don't rely on yourself. If you don't have the ability to keep it, give way~!"

The female worker who came out of the workshop bumped into Qin Huairu's shoulder.

At this moment, her dignity seemed to be trampled underfoot again.
