The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Today is Monday, the first official day of work.

All the main leaders of the head office were present, although there were no colorful flags, no gongs and drums, and no flowers.

But the scenes that should be there are still in place.

A big red banner with several big characters on it: welcome the leaders of the head office to guide the work, and warmly congratulate the Jiaodaokou No. Machinery Factory for the start of construction.

More than 20 people in the factory, all wearing brand new work clothes, lined up to greet the leader.

After a passionate speech, a few big cakes, and a tour of the factory, the leader drove away.

Then comes the general meeting.

"Comrades, I am very happy to announce to you that starting from today, all of us will be converted from agency staff to workers.

Starting from this month, wages will be paid according to the job type wage standards.

Li Yuanding is a technical worker, level 16 technician.

The 5 foundry worker levels remain unchanged.

Chen Bing was designated as a level 1 worker.

Liang Zhixiang is designated as a level 1 worker.

Others, remain at their current level.

This is a benefit that the leaders of the head office have fought for for everyone. In the future, you will need to continuously improve yourselves when you are graded.

Examinations will be conducted in accordance with unified national requirements."

After Lu Xingyu finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from below.

Today’s workers have a high status, and their wages and benefits are also high.

At least the grain quota is much higher than in the past.

Chen Bing and Liang Zhixiang are directly first-level workers, with an income of 33 yuan.

As for Li Yuan, the salary for level 16 technical staff is 37 yuan.

Although it is 25 yuan less than the previous administrative level 0.5.

But on the platform of the factory, everyone feels that the rise should be faster.

Those apprentices who have not been upgraded during this adjustment are also full of hope for the future.

In the past business establishment, growth in such subordinate factories was very limited.

It is very rare to be able to break out of the circle of subordinate factories and enter the political arena.

Most people are ordinary members of the public, working honestly and retiring peacefully.

Therefore, this change in staffing is indeed a good thing for the employees of the machinery factory.

Lu Xingyu waited for a while and then clapped his hands lightly.

"I declare below:

The director of the comprehensive office is temporarily replaced by Comrade Ren Jia.

The director of the Finance Office will be temporarily replaced by Comrade Wang Hongxia.

The director of the Purchasing Department will be temporarily replaced by Comrade Cheng Wanbiao.

The director of the foundry workshop is temporarily replaced by Comrade Luo Bing.

The director of the Security Department will be temporarily replaced by Comrade Hu Qiang.

The finishing shop is temporarily vacant.

The director of the mold and stamping workshop is temporarily replaced by Comrade Li Yuan.

I will temporarily take over as the director of the assembly workshop, assisted by Comrade Chen Bing."

Every time he reported an appointment, everyone burst into applause.

When he received the appointment as the director of the assembly workshop, Chen Bing flushed with excitement.

Ren Jia, Wang Hongxia, Cheng Wanbiao, Luo Bing, and Hu Qiang were all sent by the head office.

Judging by the casual manner in which they chatted, one could tell that these people were acquaintances.

After everyone calmed down, Lu Xingyu spoke again.

“The head office is looking for us to have level 5 or above fitters for the finishing of parts.

Everyone here should also work hard to improve and become the mainstay of the factory as soon as possible."

After the meeting, several small leaders were called to the factory director's office on the second floor.

“In the previous application plan, parts were provided by other factories, and we assembled and sold them.

Later, the head office discussed it and felt that we should take advantage of the company we acquired: there is a lot of scrap steel.

That’s why we expanded the scope of the original plan and added a casting workshop and a finishing workshop.

Everyone is the main staff of the factory, and the factory is a new factory.

So, there is a lot to be done.

I hope that in the next work, we can cooperate sincerely and add glory to the head office."

After speaking, he looked around at everyone.

They were all present, and everyone enthusiastically expressed their support.

Starting today, Jiaodaokou No. Machinery Maintenance Factory will officially change its name to Jiaodaokou No. Machinery Factory.

Abandoning the word maintenance means that this is a regular mechanical processing factory.

The current main business is the production of card wrenches.

Steel plates are procured directly from rolling mills.

With steel being so tight, it was possible to set up such a complete factory and still get scarce supplies.

This shows that the head office attaches great importance to it.

In fact, there is no need to set up so many departments for the business of a machinery factory.

Just set up the technical section and production section.

In addition to finance, other businesses can be integrated into the integrated office.

However, the head office still approved so many departments and dispatched cadres from above.

The purpose is very obvious, which is to let these people exercise at the grassroots level and then quickly upgrade.

The fastest upgrade is equivalent to the level increase of the unit, and then it will really be like a chicken or a dog ascending to heaven.

The machinery factory is now a department-level unit. If it can achieve results, it should be very easy to be promoted to a division-level unit.

The fact that the machinery factory can create such a big scene has something to do with Lu Xingyu's background and operations.

With such powerful people, as long as you keep up with the pace, your rise is inevitable.

Li Yuan is ready to learn more, improve more, and try his best to come up with some new inventions.

Help the machinery factory upgrade.

The machinery factory slowly got back on track and various departments began to operate.

The foundry shop also started making molds. Unexpectedly, Luo Bing was still a carpenter with a certain level of skill.

We have a full range of tools and are working hard to make molds.

There are currently 5 people in their casting shop, plus 3 apprentices, and they need at least 4 molds.

There were no tasks in the assembly workshop for the time being, so Chen Bing took two apprentices to work in the stamping workshop.

Since Li Yuan had already finished processing the stamping mold, production started on the same day.

The first batch of planned quantities is to process 10 sets and distribute them to various factories for use.

If the feedback is good, the second batch is planned to produce 100 million sets.

At that time, prepare to participate in the th Canton Fair and earn foreign exchange.

This year's Canton Fair was held in Guangzhou on November 1959, 11.

Lu Xingyu has high hopes for this.

On the first day of producing card wrenches, due to lack of skill, only more than 50 were produced.

It was quickly transported to the finishing workshop, where Li Yuan personally taught Liang Zhixiang and three other people.

How to use sandpaper, how to polish, how to measure and inspect.

Although the entire process has long been formulated, Li Yuan needs to verify and correct it step by step.

At the same time, the process must be recorded for team leaders Chen Bing and Liang Zhixiang, and then made into craft cards.

Ensure that every link has requirements and inspection methods.

Avoid the quality problems of many factory batch products in the past.

Today's workers have a strong sense of ownership and are willing to do their best as long as the requirements are clear.

In this process, Liang Zhixiang surprised Li Yuan again.

After just a few coaching sessions, he will be able to replicate exactly what you want.

Another very good thing is the dexterity.

The burrs were removed with files and polished with sandpaper, and the proportions were very well controlled.

This made Li Yuanchong want to cultivate vigorously.

Starting from the second day, Li Yuan had to teach Chen Bing how to use the stamping machine.

Because the leader asked Li Yuan to support the foundry workshop, who asked him to be called a technician.

In order to ensure safety, Li Yuan wrote a safety operation manual overnight.

When teaching Chen Bing, he started operating step by step according to the requirements and steps in the operation manual.

"Chen Bing, please slow down here."

"Chen Bing, you have to move quickly here."

"Don't be anxious, every step must be followed according to the manual."

"You! Why didn't you wear gloves when you moved the steel plates?!"

"Chen Bing, pay attention to the rhythm and don't rush."
