Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

"What's your name?"

Lin Shaowen took a sip from the teacup and looked at him sideways.

The man who was speaking was only about 37 or 38 years old, but his hair had almost fallen out. Only a tuft of hair remained at the back of his head to maintain his dignity. But to Lin Shaowen, such people were all gods.

When it comes to technology, bald people are usually the strong ones.

"My name is Wei Dajun." The man frowned and said, "I have also done research. Our factory does have surplus production capacity, but if we set up a research and development department, the raw material consumption will be astronomical... Director Lin, please think twice."

"Wei Dajun, after research and decision by the factory committee, you will serve as the deputy director of the first research institute of the steel rolling mill. You will enjoy ministerial treatment and will be fully responsible for research and development related matters in the future." Lin Shaowen said seriously.

"what?"

Everyone exclaimed.

He is a ministerial-level cadre? Isn't this too hasty?

Wei Dajun was even more stunned. Are ministerial-level cadres so worthless?

"Everyone go out, I will communicate with Director Wei now." Lin Shaowen shouted.

"Director Lin..."

Everyone stood up.

"go out."

Lin Shaowen pointed outside the door and shouted.

The crowd had no choice but to file out.

But before they left, they all looked deeply at Wei Dajun.

This guy has been working in the engineering department for many years, but he has never been very popular. Now he has made a breakthrough. The engineers are all very clear about who has the final say in the steel mill.

"Come and sit down." Lin Shaowen waved to Wei Dajun.

Wei Dajun silently stood up and sat down below Lin Shaowen, looking at him with complicated eyes.

"I have some ideas, take a look..."

Lin Shaowen first threw a cigarette to him, and then threw out a picture album.

"Director Lin, what is this?" Wei Dajun asked in surprise.

"This is the drawing of the excavator, designed by... me independently. But you also know that I graduated from a medical university, so many of my ideas are taken for granted. Please correct me if I am wrong." Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Correction?"

Wei Dajun's expression became more complicated.

Giving a medical student mechanical drawings is like asking a ghost for a prescription... and asking for death.

Chapter 355 Lin Shaowen, You Are My Bottom Line

Wei Dajun flipped through the atlas with the intention of taking a casual look, and then he almost popped his eyes out. Was this a picture drawn by a medical student? Not only was the finished picture of the excavator drawn, but the structural surfaces of each component were also disassembled and divided into cross-sections.

He raised his head and glanced at Lin Shaowen, only to see that he was writing and drawing on his notebook with his head down.

"Look at the picture carefully."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Wei Dajun immediately came to his senses and quickly lowered his head.

Although Director Lin is young, his aura is no less than that of the old director, and is even slightly better.

After half an hour.

Wei Dajun put away the atlas.

"Any ideas?" Lin Shaowen lit a cigarette.

"If we only make excavators, it won't be a big problem. After all, the workers in our factory can make the relevant parts. It's just that..."

"go on……"

"It's just that I think there are big problems with the drawings of this engine." Wei Dajun took a deep breath and said, "As far as I know, engine manufacturing is now almost monopolized by the Soviet Union and other major powers, and the relevant technology will not be disclosed, so the atlas you gave me..."

"Is there a problem?" Lin Shaowen frowned.

It’s not that I doubt Wei Dajun’s professionalism, it’s just that he is very confident about what he caught.

"It's not that there's a problem, it's just that I think..." Wei Dajun stammered, "This kind of thing shouldn't appear so easily."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes.

"If we want to test it, it will require a lot of manpower and resources. After all, we are just a steel rolling mill, not a specialized machinery factory." Wei Dajun said courageously, "We don't have such conditions to test it, and if we fail... the ministry will probably hold us accountable."

This is the truth.

These days, responsibilities are clear.

If you make steel pipes, then just make steel pipes honestly. If you want to make other things and get reported, you will be in big trouble.

But... there is a group of people who can ignore this rule.

For example, after Zhao Qingshan took over the textile factory, he wanted to make tampons, but no one came to trouble him.

"Research and development first, and we'll talk about the future later." Lin Shaowen said firmly.

"But……"

"If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility."

As soon as Lin Shaowen said this, Wei Dajun no longer refused.

A high-ranking official can crush people to death. If he is several levels higher than the others, if you don’t obey, there will naturally be people who will obey you.

soon.

The Steel Rolling Mill Research Institute was established, Wei Dajun became the first deputy director, and Lin Shaowen himself became the director.

It took less than three hours.

Li Xinmin's car hurried back to the steel rolling mill, and Lin Shaowen was also summoned to the factory director's office.

Many people were waiting to watch the fun with gloating eyes.

Li Xinmin is a person who is extremely greedy for power, and many people know this.

Factory director's office.

"Old Lin is here, please sit down." Li Xinmin said happily.

"Director, is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Shaowen asked with a smile.

"I heard from people that you want to do research and development." Li Xinmin asked with a smile, "I know you have the ability, but this is not a small matter...so you have to give me an explanation, right?"

"What do you want to hear me say?" Lin Shaowen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"How confident are you?" Li Xinmin asked seriously, "Old Lin, to be honest, I really want to work with you. I've had this idea since you joined the factory as the director of the medical department, but... you have to tell me the truth."

"I am very confident about the excavator. As for other products, I have to study them slowly." Lin Shaowen said in a deep voice.

"it is good."

Li Xinmin slammed the table hard and said, "Lao Lin, just based on what you said, I will give you my full support. As long as the factory has it, you can deploy it. If the factory doesn't have it, tell me and I will find a way for you."

Hearing this, Lin Shaowen looked at him in surprise.

"Old Lin, you look down on me, don't you?" Li Xinmin snorted. "Although I love power, money and women... but I don't want to be shot. Now I can do whatever I want with the power of my father-in-law, but flowers don't last forever, I know this truth very well."

"Director, you are very wise." Lin Shaowen exclaimed.

"Nonsense." Li Xinmin threw two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes to him and said with a smile, "Lin Shaowen, you are my bottom line... With you around, I can eat, drink and have fun without restraint. We are in the same boat, do you understand?"

"I understand." Lin Shaowen nodded with a wry smile.

"Okay, go and do your thing. Tell me if you need anything..." Li Xinmin said with a smile.

"Ah."

Lin Shaowen stood up and said goodbye.

Li Xinmin looked at his back, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

He is not as rigid as Yang Weiguo, who is reluctant to give up power. As long as Lin Shaowen can achieve results, he will always be the biggest beneficiary. As for whether Lin Shaowen can achieve results... He is not worried at all for being a free doctor who can get so many honors.

Siheyuan.

"Old Lin, are you back?" Xu Damao said with a charming smile.

"Director Xu, is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Shaowen also smiled.

"What Director Xu? I'm just a soldier under you. You can just call me Xiao Xu." Xu Damao said with his head lowered.

Everyone was in a trance after hearing this.

It’s no wonder that Xu Damao was able to become an official. This attitude of being able to bend and stretch is a kind of knowledge.

"Okay, just tell me what's going on." Lin Shaowen scolded with a smile.

"The factory is preparing to set up a revolutionary committee. Do you think... can I be the director?" Xu Damao extended his right hand implicitly.

"Five thousand?" Lin Shaowen asked in surprise.

Xu Damao almost vomited blood.

This beast looks gentle and polite, but he is even more cruel than his mother Li Xinmin.

He was just a deputy director, and Li Xinmin only asked him for two small yellow croakers, but Lin Shaowen asked for five thousand yuan. He has a black heart.

The large yellow croaker weighs about 300 grams, which is about 2,400 yuan at the current price of 8 yuan per gram. The small yellow croaker weighs 30 grams, which is about 240 yuan. As the director, he only spent less than 500 yuan.

"Director Lin, stop joking. I don't have 5,000 yuan." Xu Damao said embarrassedly.

"I'm just curious." Lin Shaowen smiled and waved his hand. "Now the personnel of the entire steel mill is under the jurisdiction of the factory director. I, the deputy factory director, only manage the daily work of the factory. It's useless for you to look for me."

"Well, is that so?" Xu Damao was surprised.

In his eyes, if he lost his jurisdiction over personnel, wouldn't that mean he was just a deputy factory director in name only? After all, if you don't even have the power over personnel, who would be afraid of you?

The others who were eavesdropping also breathed a sigh of relief.

They had offended Lin Shaowen many times before. If Lin Shaowen wanted to deal with them by relying on his position as factory director, it would be easier than crushing an ant.

But now...

You can't even fire me, you're nothing.

Chapter 356 Complaint

Steel rolling mill, research institute.

Wei Dajun was gathering people to conduct experiments frantically. It was not that they were very responsible, but Lin Shaowen told them that if they manufactured the excavator, they would get a 10% reward for each one sold.

Of course, it is shared by all staff of the institute.

In fact, there are hand-operated excavators now, but large mechanized excavators can only be imported. So when Lin Shaowen wanted to make excavators, many people were not optimistic, including the ministry.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be no support at all.

Lin Shaowen turned a deaf ear and continued to shuttle between the research institute and the office every day.

"Director Lin..."

Liu Qiuju, the Minister of Finance, called out at the entrance of the institute.

"You guys do the experiment first, I'll be out for a while." Lin Shaowen gave the order and walked to the door, "Minister Liu, what are you doing..."

"Go to your office and tell me."

Liu Qiuju looked very unhappy.

Deputy Director's Office.

After Lin Shaowen poured her a glass of water, he smiled and said, "Minister Liu, what made you so angry?"

"Director Lin, if Li Xinmin continues to act recklessly, I will no longer be the director," Liu Qiuju said angrily.

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive." Lin Shaowen hurriedly comforted him, "Tell me what happened..."

"That beast Li Xinmin comes to our Finance Department every other day to extort money, and now he's reaching out to the cafeteria. Look at what the workers are eating. There's not a single drop of oil in the food. If this continues, they'll collapse sooner or later."
