Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 300 Director Zheng's Training of Li Feng

After Li Feng left Director Zheng's office, Director Zheng smiled and said to Director Jiang.

“People from Beijing University came yesterday, and you rushed over so early today.”

"It seems Li Feng got a very high score."

Director Jiang smiled and nodded to Factory Director Zheng.

"Of course."

"Otherwise, how could those people from Beijing University have come here yesterday?"

"Luckily you helped, otherwise Li Feng might have been tricked by them."

Factory Director Zheng smiled at Director Jiang and said...

"Li Feng got the top score in the city. How could we not care about someone who got the top score in the city?"

Factory Director Zheng said to Director Jiang with a smile.

"Being number one in the city is indeed a top-tier achievement, no matter where you place it."

"Li Feng is a comrade with great potential."

"I plan to give him special training."

Director Jiang was somewhat surprised.

"To be given special attention?"

"Are you serious?"

Factory Director Zheng nodded.

"After what happened in Tongxian, I realized that my uncle was right."

"Going it alone will be tough, no matter where you are."

"Now I have a deep understanding."

"Li Feng has a clean background and is indeed suitable for training."

"And he is also very capable."

"I was the one who promoted him from a worker to the position of deputy section chief."

"So in that case."

"You should understand."

Director Jiang understood what Factory Director Zheng meant, and then nodded to Factory Director Zheng.

"All right!".

"Now that you've said that, I know what to do."

Factory Director Zheng said to Director Jiang with a smile.

Thank you.

Director Jiang waved his hand and said.

Why are you telling me all this?

"Teacher Zhao has always valued you highly. He originally wanted to recommend you to work in the chemical industry."

"Although the chemical system is relatively simple, at least the starting point is relatively high."

"It's just that you were quite arrogant back then."

"It's not too late now!"

"That's right!"

"You should be a deputy director-general level now, right?"

Factory Director Zheng nodded.

"Um!".

"Just mentioned it."

"After I left the chemical industry, I was promoted one level."

Director Jiang couldn't help but feel envious.

"You're still the best."

"He's now a deputy director-general level official."

"I'm still a deputy section chief!"

Factory Director Zheng smiled at Director Jiang.

"Even though you're a deputy director, your job at the school is definitely easier than mine."

"Since I came here from the chemical industry, I haven't had much rest."

"If you wanted to live the kind of life I have, I don't think your sister-in-law would agree, would she?"

Director Jiang shook his head.

"Why!".

"Actually, I don't have much ambition for a career in politics."

"I'd be perfectly fine working as the director of the admissions office at Tsinghua University."

“Last time, Teacher Zhao wanted me to become the director of the school office, and then work there for a few years before being promoted to vice principal.”

"But I rejected it."

"Think about it."

"Vice Principal, you say that, but what's the reality?"

"You should understand, right?"

Factory Director Zheng understood what Director Jiang meant, and then nodded to Director Jiang.

"Um!".

"The vice principal's words really don't offer any real opportunities!"

"But with your family connections, after you're promoted to vice principal, you should be able to get a standing committee position after a while, right?"

Director Jiang waved his hand and said.

"Forget it!"

"My father is almost retired, so I don't want to trouble him."

"And I also have an older brother!"

"Now the family's resources are basically all being directed towards him."

"I think I'll just keep living my life as it is."

"You know I'm cut out for this."

“But you are different.”

"When you wanted to be the county magistrate, didn't the old man let you go?"

When Director Zheng heard this, his heart sank, and then he waved his hand at Director Jiang.

"Let's not talk about the past anymore."

"I was able to become the county magistrate because of my grandfather. I thought I could achieve something great, but I never expected it to end like this."

"never mind!".

"Let's not bring up the past."

"Now I'm ready to work hard at the factory."

Director Jiang said upon hearing this.

"You want to go to the ministry?"

Factory Director Zheng nodded.

"If successful, I should be able to go in three to five years."

At this point, Director Jiang became somewhat curious.

"Deputy position?"

Factory Director Zheng glared at Director Jiang with some annoyance.

"You think you can get a full-time job right away?"

Director Jiang shook his head.

"It's quite difficult."

Factory Director Zheng sighed.

"It is indeed quite difficult. Sometimes, if you want to reach that level, you have to take several steps."

"It's like when you go to a ministry, the deputy position is promoted to the full position. It may seem like just one step away, but that one step can be incredibly difficult for many heroes."

"My husband said that if I hadn't taken a deputy position in a department or bureau within the ministry, my family probably wouldn't have been able to support me."

Director Jiang sighed in response to what Factory Director Zheng said.

"Your dad is a bit too old-fashioned."

"But you're an only child, so if these resources aren't allocated to you, who should they be allocated to?"

"Why".

"However, it's not appropriate for us younger generations to say anything about our elders' affairs."

Then Director Jiang seemed to have thought of something, so he began to ask Director Zheng.

"Old Zheng!"

"You said you'd be back in the ministry in a few years." "Doesn't that mean your project is very important?"

Factory Director Zheng nodded, then confirmed with Director Jiang.

"That's right!"

"This project is indeed very important to me."

"Based on my prediction, as long as I complete this project, I will have virtually no problem getting into the ministry."

"Moreover, Li Feng is very important to this project."

When Director Zheng spoke the last sentence, he unconsciously emphasized his tone.

At this point, Director Jiang also realized Li Feng's importance to Factory Director Zheng; otherwise, Factory Director Zheng would not have decided to cultivate Li Feng in the first place.

However, he was curious as to how Li Feng had suddenly come to be valued by Director Zheng.

Although Li Feng's college entrance examination score was the highest in the city, that was only important to the school. Li Feng is only twenty years old now. Can he really help Lao Zheng with his work?

Director Jiang had some questions about this.

At this moment, Director Zheng noticed Director Jiang's question and began to explain to him.

"The reason I promoted him to deputy section chief was because I saw his mindset."

"He has a very open mind, a good overall perspective, and is also very capable."

"Regarding the project I've started, I've only put forward my own ideas, while Li Feng is able to plan a lot of things based on my ideas."

"This project was started by Li Feng and me."

“I am very clear about every step of this process.”

"Moreover, he not only has management skills, but he also has a high level of expertise in mechanics."

"The mechanical design drawings for the ceramics factory's production line were designed by Li Feng, and they were approved by the experts convened by the ministry."

"With Li Feng by my side, I have the confidence to realize my vision in the next few years."

"Do you think he's important to me?"

After listening to Director Zheng's words, Director Jiang finally understood Director Zheng's behavior.

He has a clean background, is capable, and can get into a top university in China.

No wonder Director Zheng tried to win over Li Feng.

Such talent would be sought after anywhere.

But it seems quite normal for Factory Director Zheng to do this.

At this moment, Director Jiang nodded to Factory Director Zheng.

"All right!".

"If he's at school, I'll take good care of him for you."

Factory Director Zheng couldn't help but express his gratitude to Director Jiang.

"That's exactly what I was waiting for, but I still want to thank you."

Director Jiang waved his hand and said.

"What are you thanking me for?"

"We are all Teacher Zhao's students."

"If you successfully get into the Ministry of Light Industry, then I can't catch up with you even if I try."

Factory Director Zheng smiled at Director Jiang.

"It's too early to say that!"

Director Jiang laughed, and then he said to Factory Director Zheng.

"You haven't been to Teacher Zhao's place for a while, have you?"

Factory Director Zheng nodded, then sighed.

"It's been a while."

"But I'm currently tied up with worldly affairs. I'll visit him when I have time."

At this moment, Director Jiang checked the time and realized it was getting late, so he bid farewell to Factory Director Zheng.

"alright!".

"It's getting late, and I still have some things to do at school."

"I'll head back now."

"That's right!"

"This is Li Feng's admission notice. Could you please give it to him for me?"

After Director Jiang finished speaking, he took out the admission notice from his bag and handed it to Factory Director Zheng.

Factory Director Zheng accepted the admission notice from Director Jiang, and then nodded to Director Jiang.

"it is good!".

"I will hand it over to him."

After Director Jiang finished speaking with Factory Director Zheng, he left the Five Star Ceramics Factory.

Around 3 p.m.
Li Feng went to Director Zheng's office to pick up his acceptance letter.

After receiving his admission letter, Li Feng was filled with hope for his future, as this was what he had always hoped for.

Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he can start preparing some things.

Regarding his studies at Tsinghua University, Li Feng still intends to choose mechanical engineering, but now he also has the opportunity to study chemistry as an additional major.

Studying these two majors would indeed be of great help to my future.

And I was able to put my existing knowledge to use.

Once you get to university, you'll be able to gradually show your abilities.

Li Feng also knew that this knowledge was very useful to the country, so he did not plan to be idle during his years at university. Although the factory needed him to be busy, based on his current analysis of the report, there was not actually that much for him to do.

Next, all I need to do is develop the technology I have mastered.

When Li Feng thought of this, he couldn't help but open his panel and start looking at it.

Unfinished task

无

After Li Feng finished looking at his panel, he saw the complete technology of lithography machines and the complete control system technology of CNC machine tools, all of which are related to machinery.

However, according to Li Feng's recollection, China seemed to have worked on lithography machine technology back in the 1960s.

Because both the semiconductor and defense industries urgently need automated lithography machines and step-by-step repeating cameras.

The Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) in Paris had already listed lithography machines as cutting-edge technology products and imposed an embargo on China, so China had no choice but to rely on itself to overcome the technology of lithography machines.

However, these are all extremely difficult.

Moreover, Li Feng also knew that even if a lithography machine had been developed at that time, there was no urgent need to continue its research and development because of its high cost.

Therefore, Li Feng was thinking about whether it was possible to reduce the cost of manufacturing a lithography machine, and then rely on the lithography machine to carry out industrial upgrading, thereby enabling a self-sustaining cycle.

of course!

All of this is just Li Feng's current idea; whether it can be realized is still unknown to him.

But Li Feng knew that this technology was of great value and would be considered cutting-edge in the future. If they could continue to invest in its research and development, they would definitely be able to break the Western blockade against China in this area.

Li Feng actually agrees with the saying, "It's better to have your own than to have your own parents' help." Therefore, lithography machines should never be completely controlled by the West.

Therefore, if given the opportunity, Li Feng would very much like to build a lithography machine. With a lithography machine, some things could be made.

This is very important to Li Feng.

Another point.

That's an industrial machine tool.

Regarding industrial machine tools, they are also very important for the manufacture of precision instruments in mechanical manufacturing.

Precision is the most important factor.

Therefore, mechanics is fundamental.

A solid foundation is crucial for the development of China.

As long as the foundation is solid, the construction speed of China will accelerate exponentially.

Li Feng was well aware of this.

Li Feng has now received his admission letter from Tsinghua University, which means he can try this kind of thing while he's in college.

If he were working at the ceramics factory, Li Feng wouldn't have had this opportunity to try.
