Siheyuan: From a technical secondary school student to an academician of a major country

Chapter 112 Products
After talking about the night school, Yang Zhiwei asked again, "Last time you said you were researching new products, have you made any progress yet?"

Yu Wenzheng: “…”

looks?

There is a ghost's face.

Last time he just found an excuse to refuse. He had an idea for a new product, but hadn't started researching it yet.

But in order to avoid Yang Zhiwei's suspicion, he smiled and replied: "There is a little progress."

After giving Yang Zhiwei a perfunctory answer, Yu Wenzheng said, "Director, the new product is good, but if it is really developed, the factory's funds will not be able to support it, right?"

To be honest, although it is a state-owned factory, the country is poor everywhere now, and the funding for the steel rolling mill has always been tight.

There are currently two projects in production, but the investment has not yet been recovered. If a new product is to be developed, there is a high probability that the steel rolling mill will not be involved.

Yang Zhiwei nodded: "Indeed, it is not optimistic."

Yang Zhiwei is actually worried too.

This funding is not something that can be obtained easily.

Now that "Huagong No. 1" has just started to be exported, the results are not particularly good yet. It will probably take some time for the country to make money.

Yu Wen Zheng rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

Developed countries overseas are richer than us. If we want to make their money, using their existing products will not produce results very slowly.

If they want to make money quickly, they have to research something they don't have.

What is something they don't have that they need?
This question requires careful consideration.

Although he had an idea in his mind, Yu Wenzhen did not say it out loud.

First, they were worried that Yang Zhiwei would be anxious, and second, the research had not been completed and was always lacking in persuasiveness.

In fact, although overseas countries are developed and advanced, they are only reflected in high-end technologies.

On the contrary, some gadgets and things related to people's livelihood are very backward, such as folding beds that are very suitable for lunch breaks, pencil sharpeners, etc.

If you can get these things out, it's actually very simple to create wealth in a short period of time.

Do it when you think of it.

After parting with Yang Zhiwei, Yu Wenzhen returned to the office and drew a pencil sharpener, a folding bed, and a folding recliner.

Afterwards, Yu Wenzhen took the drawings to find Yang Zhiwei.

Looking at Yu Wenzhen who appeared in the office, Yang Zhiwei was full of confusion.

Didn’t we just break up?
Why are you here again at this time?
With doubt, Yang Zhiwei asked with a smile: "Wen Zheng, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Yu Wenzhen grinned, placed a few drawings on the desk, raised his chin and motioned Yang Zhiwei to take a look.

Yang Zhiwei looked at Yu Wenzhen in surprise, then picked up the drawing to look at it.

This sight was so shocking that he was completely stunned.

He looked at Yu Wenzheng excitedly and asked, "Did you design all this? Have you tested it?"

There was no way he couldn't help but be excited. These things might seem simple, but they were actually very valuable.

Yu Wenzheng shook his head and said confidently: "I haven't tested it, but I am still very confident about this kind of easy thing."

Yu Wenzhen is not bragging. To be honest, with his current skills, if the conditions are right, let alone this kind of gadget, he can even make a machine tool perfectly.

"That's right, I was confused." Yang Zhiwei slapped his forehead in embarrassment.

Yu Wenzhen is not one of those technicians in the factory. It would be an insult to him if he designed something with little technical content and had to test it.

Yang Zhiwei looked at Yu Wenzheng and asked, "Well, you designed this thing, do you have any opinions?"

The main reason was that he thought Yu Wenzhen had a lot of ideas, and if he could say something useful, it would save him a lot of detours.

Unfortunately, Yu Wenzhen had no intention of getting involved.

It’s okay for product design, but if he still needs to contribute later, wouldn’t it make the people in the factory seem useless?

While shaking his head to refuse, Yu Wenzheng still gave a reminder, saying, "Director, this thing is very simple. A first-class worker can do it, and an apprentice can also learn it by the way."

Yang Zhiwei's eyes lit up when he heard this.

What a great idea.

There are many apprentices in the factory. If they can be utilized, they will not only not become a burden to the factory but can also become labor force.

"If you weren't not interested in the position of factory director, I would have stepped down as factory director."

Although Yang Zhiwei said this in a joking manner, it is actually true.

Not to mention anything else, just look at the contributions made by Yu Wenzhen, plus the personal letters from those two big men, and he is more than qualified to be the director of a small steel rolling mill.

Yu Wenzheng was slightly stunned, then chuckled and said, "I don't have the patience to worry about the factory's affairs."

After saying that, Yu Wenzheng turned around and walked out of the office, waving his hand without looking back: "The rest is up to you, I won't get involved."

Yang Zhiwei looked at Yu Wenzhen's leaving back and smiled helplessly.

This kid is good, but his personality is a little weird.

You say he is lazy?
He can work day and night to research new products.

You say he is hardworking?

But in fact, he is just being lazy most of the time. Especially after he has a secretary, this guy's working hours are almost like a vacation.

After Yu Wenzhen left, Yang Zhiwei started making arrangements without stopping.

This time, Yu Wenzhen can be said to have solved a big problem for the factory.

Firstly, in the short term, the steel mill will not be short of money, and secondly, it will solve the problem of apprentices being unable to form productivity.

Those apprentices didn’t have good skills and couldn’t do complicated work, but the drawings Yu Wenzhen provided showed extremely simple things.

If I can't do it this time, I don't have to work in the workshop and can just report to the cleaning department directly.

Yang Zhiwei first convened a high-level meeting in the factory. Except for Yu Wenzhen, who did not need to be present, all cadres above the deputy director level attended.

In the conference room, Yang Zhiwei had not arrived yet. Some cadres were wondering about the purpose of this meeting and kept discussing it, which made the small conference room seem a little noisy.

Da da da.
The rhythmic sound of shoes tapping on the floor was heard, and the conference room quickly became quiet.

The next moment, Yang Zhiwei pushed the door open with his secretary.

Yang Zhiwei was very satisfied with the full seat in front of him. He nodded and walked up to the podium.

Under the gaze of all the leaders, Yang Zhiwei slowly said: "The meeting begins."
