The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 34 Giving in

"Then what is the difference between your kowtow machine and the previous kowtow machines?"

Liu Hua took the blueprint and began to explain: "Previous beam pumping units were single-headed, but mine is double-headed and can control two oil wells at once. This not only reduces costs but also increases production. Most importantly, it also reduces energy consumption. I estimate that it can be reduced by about 10% now."

After all, Liu Hua is a beginner, so his design still has many redundancies and cannot be compared with mature products. He is now working on further optimization.

"You've got it, kid." Ma Yushan patted Liu Hua's shoulder excitedly, "This is a big deal. We need to report this to the leader. Hurry up and make your nodding machine. When the time comes, Daqing will use our nodding machine to extract oil. What an honor."

Liu Hua shook his head: "No, this design has not yet achieved the intended goal."

"It hasn't reached the booking target yet." Ma Yushan said in surprise: "I think it's pretty good."

"In my initial calculation model, I should be able to save 30% of energy." Liu Hua shook his head: "Now it seems that there are redundant structures in this design, which wastes power. It needs to be optimized, otherwise it is impossible to save only 10% of energy."

Ma Yushan thought for a while and said: "Let's make a finished product first. Just looking at the blueprint is not intuitive enough. After the finished product is out, we can test run it and find out which part of the redundant structure is."

Without waiting for Liu Hua to speak, Ma Yushan said excitedly: "Wait, I'll go find Li Huaide, he will definitely support this."

Liu Hua smiled and whispered, "Master, you have completely sided with Director Li."

"It can't be said that we have completely changed sides." Ma Yushan shook his head: "A snake cannot survive without a head, but at least we should pick a good head. Following Li Huaide is at least not as frustrating as following someone named Yang."

"Okay, wait here. I'll go find Li Huaide." Ma Yushan said, taking charge of everything: "I'm in charge of the equipment office now. It's not your turn to worry about anything up there. If this kowtow machine is really set up in Daqing Oilfield, you'll be as stable as a rock in the future."

Li Huaide was happy alone in the office. After hearing the knock on the door, he calmed down and said, "Come in."

Seeing that it was Ma Yushan, he asked very seriously: "Old Ma, what's the matter with you? Is there something wrong with the equipment again? Do you need to purchase parts?"

"No, this is definitely a good thing." Ma Yushan said with a smile: "My apprentice, Liu Hua, designed a new machine."

Li Huaide was taken aback, and stood up and asked loudly: "What machine? What kind of machine?"

"Kowtow machine."

Li Huaide was confused: "What kind of kowtow machine is this? Is this feudal superstition?"

"No." Ma Yushan immediately explained: "It is an oil extraction machine in the oil field. Because the action of extracting oil is like kowtowing, it is called the kowtowing machine."

“It’s used in the oil fields.”

Li Huaide was a little overjoyed. If we were to say which company has been in the limelight in the past two years, apart from Daqing Oilfield, probably no other company dared to say that it was at the center of the storm.

If a new product can be produced under my leadership that can play a brand new role in the construction of Daqing Oilfield, then my position as factory director will be almost certain.

Li Huaide asked hurriedly: "What is the difference between this product and previous oil extraction machines?" "According to Liu Hua, it can extract oil from two wells at a time and save 10% of energy. And this is only the initial effect. After optimization, it can save 30% of energy."

Li Huaide was so excited that he slammed the table, but he forgot that his hand was still swollen and he was grimacing in pain.

"What do you want me to do now?" Li Huaide asked directly, "I absolutely support this kid. If you need anything, I'll give you the green light. We'll try to build this kowtow machine before National Day."

"The blueprint is just a blueprint. We want to make a finished product to conduct experiments so that we can optimize it in a targeted manner."

Li Huaide picked up the phone and made several consecutive calls, gathering his own people for discussions. In the past two days, two workshop directors have joined Li Huaide, and he is no longer alone in production.

Ma Yushan smiled and said, "Such a big deal, why don't you tell Director Yang about it?"

"You didn't report to him directly, but to me?" Li Huaide said complacently, "He is in a state of panic right now. Let's calm down the workshops under him first. I will notify him tomorrow morning as usual."

Ma Yushan pointed at Li Huaide and said, "Are you setting a trap for him again?"

"Eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers." Li Huaide said as a matter of course: "If you are not as skilled as others, you have to admit defeat and admit defeat. Anyway, I will never let him go."

When Li Huaide's team started working, they were no different from precision machines. In less than an hour, each department accepted its own tasks and signed a military order, promising not to hold Li Huaide back.

The next day, Li Huaide really notified Director Yang as usual, and said vaguely that Liu Hua from the equipment department had designed a new machine for oil field exploitation.

Director Yang just lacks management skills, but he is not stupid. He immediately sensed that this was an opportunity. His current position was precarious and he urgently needed a turnaround.

But now the opportunity is in Li Huaide's hands. He has to either admit defeat or fight to the end.

Director Yang does not have such backbone. He has spent half his life to get to his current position, especially after so many years of fighting on the battlefield. If he had just come out of the army, he would not care about these gains and losses.

But he is no longer the same person he was back then. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. He is reluctant to give up his current status no matter what.

Director Yang thought for a long time, and finally picked up the phone and called Li Huaide's office: "Li Huaide, I'm treating you tonight. Let's have dinner at Bian Yi Fang. There are some things I want to discuss with you."

Li Huaide was not surprised at all about the phone call. Originally, with the support of his superiors, no matter how outstanding Li Huaide was, he could not covet the position of factory director. However, due to Liu Hua's outstanding performance, Li Huaide's status has been greatly improved.

If the oil drilling machine project is successful, Li Huaide will surely be favored by the senior leaders above. At that time, even if Director Yang's leader wants to protect him, he won't be able to say it because everyone has to save face.

Liu Hua was unable to get off work on time today because he had to work with the people in the process department on research. The double-headed donkey kowtowing machine is a new project, especially for a steel rolling mill which is not related at all, there are many technologies that need to be tackled.

Li Huaide has already promised Liu Hua that if he succeeds, he will at least be promoted two levels.
