Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 16 The First Day at Work

The next day, March 8.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, four newcomers from room 903 came to the office building of the Engine Division.

This is an old-fashioned seven-story building, which is located next to the production plant of the division. Compared with the production plant with steel frame structure, it is a red brick house an era earlier, and everyone calls it "Red Building".

The four of them reported to the Personnel Section of the Engine Business Department on the second floor of the Red Building and accepted specific job assignments.

Zhou Hu was assigned to the crankshaft production branch, Wang Anlin was assigned to the cylinder head production branch, and Lei Yongzhong was assigned to the engine assembly assembly branch.

All three are branch factory technicians, responsible for technical quality work at the production site.

Zhong Cheng was assigned to the Technical Section of the Engine Division.

The technical department of the business department is different from the R&D institute of the group company. It is mainly responsible for the process technology management of each production branch of the business department, with only a small amount of research and development functions.

Although it is not as good as the R&D Institute, it is much better than the technicians in the factory, and there is no need to fumble on the production site.

In Zhou Hu's words, he just sits in an office.

Although the three were envious, they had nothing to say. Zhong Cheng's assessment results were there, and the business department always wanted to express it to show the difference.

But Zhong Cheng knew that Vice Minister Xu should be mainly responsible for this.

The office of the technical department is on the fifth floor of the red building, occupying an entire floor, which shows the importance of the technical department.

Director Fu took the initiative to ask Zhong Cheng to report to the technical department, while Zhou Hu and the others had to go to the branch factory to find someone.

The Red Building is an old-fashioned office building before the 80s. The corridor outside the office is not in the middle of the floor, but on one side of the floor.

When you come to the fifth floor, the first office after going up the stairs is the craft room, the previous one is the design room, the next is the archives room, and the innermost one is the section chief's office.

Director Fu took Zhong Cheng directly into the section chief's office.

"Chief Wan, this is Zhong Cheng, the college student that Minister Xu mentioned in the meeting yesterday. I brought him to you. You know his specific situation, so I won't talk too much, I'll go first!"

Director Fu nodded to Zhong Cheng after explaining in a few words, and left.

Chief Wan is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is of medium height, a little curly, with a round face and a little blue complexion. He must not be in good health.

After sending Director Fu away, he walked back to sit behind the desk, and then called Zhong Cheng to sit on the chair in front of the desk.

He put a smile on his face, "Xiao Zhong, I have known you for a long time, and I am indeed a talented person. Welcome to work in the technical department!"

Zhong Cheng blinked his eyes twice, and said dryly, "Hello, Chief Vanke!"

He really can't handle this kind of situation. He heard people say that leaders are very fierce. This leader seems to be easy to talk to.

"Xiao Zhong, you are very good. The work in the technical department should be trivial to you. You should go to the design room to familiarize yourself with the situation. If you have any questions, you can come to me directly."

"Okay!" Zhong Cheng nodded in agreement.

Next, Chief Vanke asked Zhong Cheng enthusiastically about his family situation, whether he had a girlfriend, his major in school, his board and lodging situation in the company, whether he was satisfied with his salary and so on.

The two chatted for more than an hour before Chief Wan stood up and asked Zhong Cheng to follow him.

Zhong Cheng was relieved, feeling much more tired than the exam.

Chief Vanke brought Zhong Cheng to the design room.

The design office is a large office with more than twenty seats, but now there are only six people in the office, which seems very empty.

"Leader, why did you come here in person, just call if you need something!"

As soon as Chief Vanke brought Zhong Cheng into the door, a tall and thin man with glasses in his 30s came up to him in a hurry.

Chief Wan didn't take his words, and turned to Zhong Cheng and said, "Xiao Zhong, this is Director Deng of the design office, and he will arrange your work in the future."

This is also an official, or his immediate boss, Zhong Cheng felt that he had misjudged him.

"Director Deng, this is Zhong Cheng, a new college student. He is the first in this year's new job assessment. He is very good. You can arrange it. After the arrangement, come to the office to find me."

After explaining to Director Deng, Section Chief Wan encouraged Zhong Cheng a few more words, and then went back to his own office.

Director Deng smiled and said to Zhong Cheng: "Xiao Zhong, right? From now on, I will treat this place as my own home. Don't be nervous. Come, let me introduce you to my colleagues."

Zhong Cheng responded politely, that the county magistrate should be in charge now, and should have a good relationship with the leadership.

Zhou Hu has been instilling workplace rules with Zhong Cheng and the others for the past two days.

In addition to Director Deng, there are five technicians in the design office, four men and one woman, the youngest of whom are in their forties, and two old technicians are said to be retiring in the next two years.

Everyone warmly welcomed Zhong Cheng's arrival.

Director Deng graciously asked Zhong Cheng to choose a seat by himself, saying that there was no one else in this office, and no one could sit in any seat.

Although Zhong Cheng didn't understand why there were only these few people in such a big office, he happily chose a seat away from the door and other people.

He likes to be quiet!
Director Deng said that someone would install the computer in the afternoon, and Zhong Cheng would just read the system documents by himself in the morning.

After the confession, Director Deng immediately left the office to find Chief Vanke.

Seriously handle everything assigned by the leader, this Director Deng should be the way of the deep dark workplace.

Zhong Cheng chose a corner seat.

An old-fashioned single-person wooden desk with three drawers on each side, a landline phone on the desk, an empty file box, an empty pen holder, and a wooden chair with a backrest, plus a trash box, that's all It's family business.

Although it is cleaned every week, no one can sit there.

Zhong Cheng went to Aunt Lin, the only woman in the office, and asked for a rag and a plastic basin. She cleaned it inside and out, changed the water three times, and then it was done.

After going to the archives room to get office supplies such as pens and notebooks, Zhong Cheng sat down in his seat.

Colleagues are busy with their own work, and no one cares about him.

After Director Deng returned from Vanke Chief, he gave Zhong Cheng a thick copy of "Company IATF16949 Quality Management System" for him to study and master by himself.

IATF16949 quality management system is a special quality management standard for the automobile manufacturing industry based on the international general quality system ISO9001.

If the products of an automobile manufacturer want to be sold in the market, they must obtain the certification of the IATF16949 standard.

Because Hongxing Company wants to produce civilian vehicles, it also introduced the IATF16949 standard.

Learning standards is too simple for Zhong Cheng.

By the time he got off work at noon, he had read the more than 300 pages of system documents three times and had memorized them all. He felt that this thing was still very useful.

The quality system is different from what he originally thought. He thought it was only used by people in charge of quality, but it actually involves all aspects of the company.

Even the procurement, storage, and transportation of materials must be managed, but these are the standards set by the Americans. Who makes the Americans the loudest now?

Huaxia people sell things in Huaxia country, and they have to be certified according to the standards of American people. If you can't, you are not allowed to sell.

Zhong Cheng feels that the world is full of irony.

At noon, I ate in the cafeteria of the business department on the first floor of the Red Building. It was still free of charge, but I didn't meet the three of Zhou Hu.

I heard people say that because there are many people eating, in order to reduce the waiting time in line, the cafeteria implements off-peak dining, and each unit eats in the cafeteria according to time slots.

I have gained a lot of knowledge, and the practical application of overall planning.

I just don't know if people who wait until 12:[-] to eat will feel hungry.

At noon, there was only one hour for eating and a break, so Zhong Cheng didn't go back to the dormitory, and went back to the office after eating.

After 2 o'clock in the afternoon, someone from the administrative department of the business department came to install a computer for Zhong Cheng. He was a 27-year-old young man with the surname Gui, and he talked a lot.

The computer Master Gui installed for him is an assembly machine.

But the accessories are relatively high-end accessories in the market. After a set, it is not cheaper than domestic brand phones, but the performance is much better.

Master Gui told Zhong Cheng that only the technical department had this kind of treatment, and the computers used by other departments or branch factories were much worse, or they could simply use the computers eliminated by the technical department.

Zhong Cheng's self-esteem was satisfied, and this Master Gui was still good at chatting.

After Master Gui assembled the machine, he installed windows XP system, 360 security system, OFFICE, CAD and some programming software.

Master Gui said that these are genuine software, and there is no need to pirate them in Red Star Company.

Zhong Cheng was a little surprised, how much it would cost, he has been playing with computers for so many years, and he has never used genuine software.

Finally, Master Gui installed the V8 office system on the computer, which is a set of office systems connected to the company's internal LAN, and has a file encryption function.

That is, any editable file will be garbled when opened on a computer without the V8 system, which can effectively prevent leaks.

Master Gui told Zhong Cheng the personal account number and initial password of the V8 system and left.

Zhong Cheng sat in front of the computer, very satisfied.

Finally, he has his own dedicated computer. Due to the financial difficulties at home, he has never had his own computer.

When he was in college, he used to go to the computer of the school or his classmates in the dormitory, and he cherished every opportunity to use the computer.

Now you can use it however you want.

After he boarded the V8 system and changed the initial password, he began to study and use this office system with great interest.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhong Chengcheng found that the office workers started to pack their things and leave work.

Don't you get off work at 6 o'clock?
As a result, Aunt Lin told him that the branch factory got off work at 6 o'clock because of the shift change, and the logistics staff in the Red Building all got off work at 5 o'clock.

That's true, but it seems a bit unfair!

Aunt Lin explained that due to the heavy labor intensity, the workers in the branch factory had two breaks in the morning and afternoon, which added up to one hour. The total working time was still 1 hours a day, and they did not go to work more.

His worries are unnecessary.

Zhong Cheng ended his first day of work in this life, had dinner in the cafeteria, and returned to room 903.

After resting for more than an hour, the three roommates came back one after another.

Everyone excitedly exchanged the experience of the day, and everyone felt pretty good.

Although the branch factory is a little bit harder, the newcomers are very relaxed. The current work of the three of them is mainly to study.

Instead, they expressed sympathy for Zhong Chengluo in a group of old people.

Alas, the joys and sorrows between people are not connected, as long as you are mentally balanced!
