Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 231 One thing brings down another thing

Liu Qingsong ignored Ma Dalei and quickened his pace.

Secretary Chen, Old Wu, and Crazy Lu all understood each other tacitly when they saw this, and didn't say anything.

After all, being able to make Ma Dalei anxious is a good thing no matter how you look at it. At least it can curb Ma Dalei's arrogance.

With this thought in mind, the group soon arrived at the gate of the workshop.

After Liu Qingsong walked in, he stretched out his hand to close the door, but before he could close it, Ma Dalei stretched out his hand and stopped him rudely: "What do you mean, kid?"

"It's nothing. I usually don't allow outsiders to be present when I assemble equipment. If someone steals my technology, I'll be at a big loss." Liu Qingsong replied indifferently, then pushed Ma Dalei out.

Secretary Chen, Old Wu, and Crazy Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud in relief when they saw this.

In the past, it was only Ma Dalei who drove people away, and no one else had the right to drive Ma Dalei away.

Now that Ma Dalei was driven away by Liu Qingsong, to be honest, all the frustration he had suffered in the past few days was released at this moment.

Secretary Chen, in particular, felt extremely happy.

But Ma Dalei was like a mad dog whose tail was stepped on: "No... you are such a liar, but you still have skills to steal. Can you please stop flattering yourself?"

"Hehe... do I have it?" Liu Qingsong slammed the door shut, then took Secretary Chen and Crazy Old Wu Lu and walked quickly towards the equipment near the window.

"Just wait for me, sir!" Ma Dalei couldn't hold back any longer and cursed.

His disciples looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

I also realized that the current situation has changed from active to passive.

If Secretary Chen really ignores them, we will be in big trouble.

Sitting by the window, Secretary Chen glanced at Ma Dalei who was left hanging at the door and said, "Qingsong, I know you did this just now to help me, but now that the drama has come to this, what should we do next?"

"Yes! Although it was very satisfying just now, our problem is still not solved!" Old Wu followed.

"Then can Ma Dalei solve it?" Liu Qingsong asked back.

"This..." Old Wu couldn't answer.

"Since even Ma Dalei can't solve the problem, why should we indulge him?" Liu Qingsong looked at the large double-roller extrusion fertilizer granulator that had not yet been assembled. "Huh? If I remember correctly, Red Star Fertilizer Factory didn't have this double-roller extrusion fertilizer granulator and horizontal wet material crusher before?"

The reason why I remember it so clearly.

That was because most of the equipment purchased by the Red Star Fertilizer Factory were snatched back by him with the protective vine after they were replaced by Zheng Xiuyi. Later, Liquid Robot did a statistics and told him that there were no double-roller extrusion fertilizer granulators and horizontal wet material crushers among these equipment.

Secretary Chen naturally didn't know what Liu Qingsong was thinking. He said, "The provincial leaders wanted to find a way to purchase the double-roller extrusion fertilizer granulator and the horizontal wet material crusher. I forgot to tell you before."

"Is that so?" Liu Qingsong nodded. "Then what's wrong with this double-roller extrusion fertilizer granulator? Why can't it be assembled even though we have the assembly drawings and various tools?"

"The problem is that the connections between the pipes below are always leaking oil. We have tried many ways, but none of them can ensure that they are sealed." Old Wu pointed to several connection points of the pipes on the large roller-extrusion fertilizer granulator and explained the reason.

"Really?" Liu Qingsong frowned and looked over.

The reason has not yet been found.

Ma Dalei's voice came from the window: "Don't look at it, kid. You may not be able to figure it out even if you look at it again, because I have tried all the methods I can, but it is still leaking oil."

"That's because your skills are not good enough, so there is oil leakage." Liu Qingsong retorted unhappily.

"You! You!" Ma Dalei was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Secretary Chen, Old Wu, and Crazy Lu laughed out loud.

Only then did I realize that there is always a nemesis for every thing, and Liu Qingsong is Ma Dalei's nemesis.

Seeing Liu Qingsong put on his apron and picked up the wrench, Old Wu asked, "Do you need my help?"

"No, I want to dismantle these pipes to see why the oil is leaking." Liu Qingsong replied.

"Then I'll take it apart." Old Wu took the wrench: "Because I've taken it apart no less than a hundred times and I'm very familiar with it."

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong did not refuse.

Ma Dalei and his apprentices did not leave, but stood by the window and watched Lao Wu dismantle the pipe quietly.

Most of these pipes are about one meter long, with sleeve interfaces at the front and back. After being removed, a lot of engine oil will flow out.

Liu Qingsong took a quick look and discovered the problem: "These sleeve interfaces obviously need to be padded with sealing rings. Why didn't you put any?"

"Ah?" Old Wu was stunned.

Does this simple sleeve interface also require a sealing ring?
"What are you talking about, you little brat? There is no sealing ring on this sleeve interface." Ma Dalei was stunned when he heard this and then he angrily retorted to Liu Qingsong: "When I assembled roller extrusion fertilizer granulators in other fertilizer factories before, I didn't use any sealing rings at all. Do you understand? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense here!"

Liu Qingsong ignored Ma Dalei and picked up the thick assembly manual of the roller-extrusion fertilizer granulator on the workbench next to him and started reading it.

"Can you understand the English above?" Old Wu couldn't help but ask.

"I don't understand." Liu Qingsong replied.

He really couldn't understand it, but he still recognized some of the assembly structure diagrams above. After all, he had worked as a mechanic for many years before his rebirth, so he was not completely blind.

"I don't understand why you're being so pretentious?" Ma Dalei couldn't help laughing.

Several of his apprentices also laughed out loud, and some even laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt. They thought this was the best joke they had heard in years.

Liu Qingsong was not disturbed by the laughter, but continued to look through the assembly instructions of the roller extrusion fertilizer granulator.

Just when Ma Dalei was about to leave impatiently, he suddenly closed the assembly instructions and started rummaging through a box containing motors.

A moment later, a large package of sealing rings was found in a secret compartment.

These sealing rings are large and small, and there are at least hundreds of them: "Ma Dalei, you said there are no sealing rings, then what are these?"

"Let me tell you, the old roller-squeezed fertilizer granulator may not have sealing rings on some common connection ports. They are replaced by rubber gaskets. But now the new roller-squeezed fertilizer granulator must have sealing rings on the sleeve interface. It's just that you are ignorant and don't know it."

There is one thing Liu Qingsong didn't say.

That is because these devices are imported, and many small parts are hidden in specific locations to prevent them from being lost and having to be re-purchased.

"You...you are the one who is ignorant!" Ma Dalei was so angry that the corners of his mouth twisted.

"Really? Then we'll see." Liu Qingsong handed the sealing ring in the plastic bag to Lao Wu: "Master, the black sealing rings of the xs120 model are all on the sleeve interface. You can just put them on and install them. There is no difference between the front and the back."

"Okay! Okay!" Old Wu quickly did as he was told.

Ten minutes later.

All the pipes are connected.

After trying it, it actually stopped leaking oil.

No, there is no oil leakage at all.

Ma Dalei was stunned when he saw this scene.

Then he panicked: "This shouldn't be! How...how could this happen? When I installed the roller-extrusion fertilizer granulator before, it...it didn't have a sealing ring at all."

"How could it be that there is none? It's just that you haven't learned the skills well enough, or you have never assembled a large roller-extrusion fertilizer granulator." Liu Qingsong said this and wiped the grease off his hands with a rag: "Secretary, I think you should ask someone who knows English to help translate the English in the equipment assembly manual, so that the speed of equipment assembly can be improved."

"Instead of like now."

"Being delayed like this by a good-for-nothing."

"Who are you calling a good-for-nothing?" Ma Dalei rolled up his sleeves in anger.

"Whoever thinks he is a good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing." Liu Qingsong replied unhappily.

"You! You..." Ma Dalei wanted to retort, but was interrupted by Secretary Chen, who looked angry: "Enough! Don't you think you have embarrassed yourself enough?"

"As an expert, you don't even know whether the roller-extrusion fertilizer granulator has a sealing ring. What do you do for a living?"

Ma Dalei blushed and could not answer. In fact, he knew it.

I guessed it before.

But the problem was that he and his apprentices searched for a long time but couldn't find the sealing ring. Secretary Chen and other leaders were urging him to find it, so he had no choice but to use rubber sheets to replace the assembled pipes.

The result can be imagined.

There is simply no way to prevent oil leakage.

Of course, the main reason for this was that he simply could not understand the English in the assembly instructions, and he had never taught his apprentices to assemble a large roller-extrusion fertilizer granulator alone.

Otherwise, I would have embarrassed myself in front of Secretary Chen.

But Liu Qingsong did not pay attention to these things now, but asked the doubts in his heart: "Secretary, it stands to reason that when the relevant leaders purchased these fertilizer equipment, they should have discussed the assembly and other related after-sales issues with the equipment supplier. Why didn't I see anyone sent by the equipment supplier in the workshop?"

If sent.

He believed that it was not Ma Dalei's turn to be arrogant.

Even if the equipment had been replaced by Xiuzhenyi before, that is not a reason for the equipment vendor not to send someone to assemble the equipment later.

"Oh! This matter is hard to explain in a few words." Secretary Chen saw that Ma Dalei was listening attentively, so he put his hands behind his back and took Liu Qingsong to the other end of the workshop.

Until you get there.

Seeing that there was no one else around, he continued in a low voice: "To be honest, the equipment company did send relevant persons in charge to the Red Star Fertilizer Factory, and there were three groups of people who came."

"Then why isn't it assembled?" Liu Qingsong wondered.

"Because the equipment purchased by the Tao Bureau last year and the equipment such as the roller extrusion fertilizer granulator and horizontal wet material crusher purchased by the provincial leaders this year were not produced by the same company at all!" Secretary Chen smiled bitterly and revealed the inside story: "Under such circumstances, the person in charge of the equipment supplier said that we violated the original agreement and was unwilling to help assemble the equipment and production line at all."

"No way?" Liu Qingsong was a little bit amused after he understood.

But he was not surprised at all, because if the equipment model does not match and is not purchased by the same company, the equipment supplier does have the right to refuse to assemble the equipment.

After all, if the assembly fails, you will still need to bear the relevant responsibilities.

Secretary Chen sighed and said, "You understand the situation. In fact, Ma Dalei is not as bad as you said. He successfully assembled other equipment, such as the horizontal wet material crusher, and tested it successfully."

"So what you mean is..." Liu Qingsong hesitated to speak.

"Your actions just now have completely eliminated Ma Dalei's arrogance. Although he does not deserve the title of expert, we still cannot drive him away for the moment. So how about we put on another show and let him stay to assemble the equipment?" Secretary Chen expressed what he was thinking.

"Of course no problem." Liu Qingsong replied.

He is now in the garbage dump of the universe and has a lot of things to do at home. Naturally, he cannot take away Ma Dalei's job and stay in the Red Star Fertilizer Factory to assemble equipment.

"Then let's make a deal." Secretary Chen put his hands behind his back and walked towards the window, where the large double-roller extrusion fertilizer granulator was located.

Liu Qingsong followed behind.

At this time, Ma Dalei had already come in with his apprentice and was talking in a low voice with Old Wu. When he saw Secretary Chen and Liu Qingsong coming over, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Secretary Chen, I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Secretary Chen: "Don't say anymore. I have decided to hire Xiao Liu to assemble equipment at the Red Star Fertilizer Factory for 600 yuan a month. You and your apprentice will go to the finance office to get your wages and leave!"

"No... I... I admit that I was a little too arrogant before, and looked down on others, but I have come back here with a thick face, and you still want to drive me away. Isn't that a little too unkind?" Ma Dalei couldn't help asking with a sad face.

Several of his apprentices were so panicked that they even tried to say nice things to Secretary Chen. After all, if they went back like this, they would also be held accountable by their superiors.

"I'm not honest?" Secretary Chen was so angry that he laughed: "Your monthly salary is 1,800 yuan, Xiao Liu only makes 600 yuan a month, and he only has one day off a week. Is it me who is not honest or you who is not honest?"

"It's my fault." Ma Dalei blushed.

His several disciples also smiled awkwardly and kept silent.

"Since you have admitted it, let's go!" Secretary Chen waved his hand.

"Don't worry, even without you, Ma Dalei, here, I will definitely assemble all the equipment in this workshop." Liu Qingsong also said.

Ma Dalei was anxious when he heard this: "How can I go? The superiors sent me here with my apprentices, but they gave me a death order, asking me to assemble the equipment of the Red Star Fertilizer Plant. If I go back without assembling it, I'm afraid the superiors will peel off my skin."

"Secretary Chen, how about this? I don't want a salary of 1,800 yuan anymore. Just give me 600 yuan. I only need one day off a week." After a pause, Ma Dalei added.

"My monthly salary is only 500 yuan." Upon hearing this, Liu Qingsong immediately stood up and competed with Ma Dalei.

This is not a human being who takes advantage of others' misfortune.

But in 1979, 500 yuan a month was actually a high salary, and higher than any senior executive in a large company, so we must take this opportunity to reduce it and spend the remaining money on other useful things in the Red Star Fertilizer Plant.

"You...can you please stop arguing with me?" Ma Dalei was angered by Liu Qingsong's words: "Isn't it good for us all to work together at the Red Star Fertilizer Factory and get 600 yuan a month?"

"Not good." Liu Qingsong replied.

"Then I only need 400 yuan a month in salary." Ma Dalei risked his life.

"Three hundred for me." Liu Qingsong lowered the price by another hundred without hesitation.

In a word, he had no intention of staying to work at the Red Star Fertilizer Factory, and he was not afraid of a salary reduction to one dollar.

But Ma Dalei was afraid, and he gnashed his teeth at Liu Qingsong: "Okay! Very good! You want to compete with me, right? Then I only want... only 280 yuan a month."

"Two hundred and sixty for me." Liu Qingsong said teasingly.

"I... I'm two hundred and fifty... No, I'm two hundred and forty-eight!" Ma Dalai gritted his teeth and lowered the price by another twelve yuan, but his heart was bleeding.

Liu Qingsong saw that it was almost done, so he turned around and looked at Secretary Chen: "Since Ma Dalei is willing to work at the Red Star Fertilizer Factory, I will quit."

"Okay! Okay!" Secretary Chen smiled and nodded.

It has to be Liu Qingsong. This cooperation helped him save nearly a thousand yuan in salary. Just thinking about it makes him happy.

"You're only two hundred and fifty!" Ma Dalei couldn't help cursing, "I'm telling you, if it weren't for today..."

The words are not finished yet.

Old Wu stopped him and said, "Alright, alright! Just be content! I only make 180 yuan a month at the Red Star Fertilizer Factory! 250 yuan is already a high salary."

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's have lunch."

"Let's not bother with this kid."

After saying that, Old Wu took Ma Dalei and left.

Liu Qingsong did not follow, but glanced at the sky outside the window and said to Secretary Chen: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first. After all, Ma Dalei and I are in such a bad situation now, it is not appropriate for me to stay any longer."

"But if the Red Star Fertilizer Factory needs my help in the future, you can go to the Huaishu Production Team to find me."

"Okay! Okay!" Secretary Chen originally wanted to invite Liu Qingsong to have lunch, but when he heard Liu Qingsong say this, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Of course, I don't want to create any more rift between Ma Dalei and Liu Qingsong.

"Then I'll go first." Liu Qingsong turned around and walked towards the gate. Seeing Secretary Chen and Crazy Lu coming over, he whispered, "By the way, you have to be careful of a man named Liu Tao."

Liu Tao was the traitor that Liquid Robot had previously discovered at the Red Star Fertilizer Plant.

"I will." Secretary Chen was stunned at first, then nodded.

Crazy Lu was also a little surprised because he knew Liu Tao.

He was a very honest young man.

Why did Liu Qingsong ask Secretary Chen to be careful of Liu Tao?
