Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Zhou Xinjian said: "Explain."

He roughly guessed what Jiang Chen wanted to say.

But I want to hear Jiang Chen’s thoughts even more.

Jiang Chen said: "Do you still remember the production and assembly line of Sangang machine tools?"

Zhou Xinjian said: "Of course I remember."

Jiang Chen asked: "What do you think will happen if a hostile force infiltrates one of the factories and obtains the factory's production drawings of Sangang machine tools?"

Zhou XJ said for a moment: "As long as he doesn't get all the technical drawings of Sansteel Group's headquarters, but only the drawings of a factory, he can only produce one of the components, which is basically useless."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, this model can maintain confidentiality to the greatest extent, and the production efficiency is higher, and the product quality is higher."

"Under this model, factories across the country form an assembly line. Each factory only needs to be responsible for its own production tasks and does not understand the overall technology."

"If you want to steal this technology, you can only steal all the technical drawings from the headquarters or the Ministry of Industry. If both places are penetrated, then let alone confidentiality, we are not worthy."

Even in this place, only core personnel have access to confidential documents.

If it is still stolen, it means that the other party's people have penetrated to the top and reached the core.

That confidentiality has long become empty talk.

Zhou Xinjian nodded: "That's true."

"Why do I feel that from the establishment of the training system, the introduction of standard techniques, the trial implementation of the assembly line model, to the production of Sangang machine tools, you have been planning for a big event?"

Jiang Chen was silent for a long time and said slowly: "I don't dare to say too much about this matter now."

"But what I can say is that the application of the assembly line model will have a huge effect on improving production capacity."

"And it also involves standardization, which is the foundation of future industry and must be continuously promoted."

"But the operation of this model does not just need to subdivide the process like we do now, but requires support at many levels."

“Our country’s current policies cannot or are not suitable for fully rolling out the assembly line model.”

Zhou Xinjian said: "Are you referring to the risk of being accused of exploiting workers?"

"If production capacity is needed, this point can be overcome."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "This is just one aspect. Once this point is overcome, it can only be said that the assembly line can be applied on a small scale."

After pondering for a moment, he decided to simply say: "The biggest obstacle is the salary settlement method."

"The existing salary system and worker hierarchy are not suitable for the assembly line."

The assembly line model does not require employees to be very creative, they only need to put into production step by step.

Hierarchy means little in this case.

The productivity and quality of production of employees are the key.

Compensation naturally revolves around two levels.

Whether it is basic salary plus performance, piece rate, or anything else, it must be linked to these two points.

But the current eight-level worker system is obviously inappropriate.

The problem is that not all industries are suitable for the assembly line model and require a diverse compensation system.

This is also inappropriate under the planned economy.

Zhou Xinjian also fell silent after listening.

The experiment of Sangang machine tool production has proved the power of the assembly line model.

That's an increase in production capacity of more than 50%.

Nowadays, production is king, and production capacity is everything.

Therefore, he has always had the idea of ​​​​implementing the assembly line model.

But there is no way to solve the problem Jiang Chen just mentioned.

Unless, big move.

Anyway, whether it was the above method of joining the Paris Convention or the standardization of the assembly line, Jiang Chen just put forward his own ideas.

How to communicate with the superiors and how to negotiate a solution is Zhou Xinjian's problem.

After all, solving these problems requires people at their level to sit down and communicate.

Zhou Xinjian was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "So, do you think the assembly line model can be used on a small scale without making policy changes?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "You can find workers with high ideological consciousness, practicality and diligence, and use it on a small scale."

"Of course, the premise is to do the process cutting and set up the production line."

Zhou Xinjian said: "Okay, I understand."

It seems that he is still unwilling to give up easily on this model.

Thinking about it, as the boss of the Ministry of Industry, what he is most concerned about is of course the production capacity issue.

With such a good model, how could he just pretend he didn't see it and not make use of it.

Zhou Xinxin paused and continued: "Is there anything else wrong with you?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "These are really gone."

Zhou Xinjian nodded: "It's finally okay!"

"How is Xiaoxue's current job?"

Now that we’ve finished talking about work, it’s time to talk about life.

Hearing that Luo Xue was being targeted, he was also feeling angry.

Therefore, I first asked about Luo Xue’s work status.

Jiang Chen said: "Everything goes well, there should be results soon."

Zhou Xinjian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he can protect Luo Xue, he will still be under pressure if Luo Xue cannot achieve results.

Now that he heard Jiang Chen's words, he felt much more relieved.

As long as Luo Xue achieves results, she won't be afraid of people making irresponsible remarks.

He continued to ask: "Soon, how fast?"

Jiang Chen said: "It should be after moving to the base."

Zhou Xinjian glanced at Jiang Chen: "You kid, you don't want to give Yan Jincheng any benefits? Even the scientific research results have to wait until the laboratory and Sanshan Iron and Steel Group are separated before they can be released."

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "That's not true. The main reason is that the laboratory has been established. I have to present a result to celebrate. It's not a good sign. It's not all to avoid Sansteel Group."

"But this fact is really annoying. Mr. Zhou, please remember to keep it a secret for me."

Zhou Xinjian nodded: "Don't worry, I understand. Since what we are talking about here is commonplace and not business, of course I won't talk to others."

"By the way, the rice in your experimental field is about to be harvested, right? How is it growing?"

Hearing that Luo Xue's work had results, he no longer worried.

Jiang Chen said: "Very good, the yield of one thousand eighty to two thousand kilograms per mu should not be a big problem."

"People from the Ministry of Agriculture and my family are guarding the place every day."

The Ministry of Agriculture is worried about unexpected events that may lead to reduced production.

Jiang Chen's family members simply don't trust people from the Ministry of Agriculture and don't want others to touch the fruits of his labor.

In fact, the troops' security here has been strengthened now.

In the past, one person was responsible for guarding, but now a squad of soldiers has been assigned to closely guard it.

They already know that this is a major issue related to the food problem of the people across the country, so it is not surprising that they take it seriously.

Zhou Xinjian laughed loudly: "Haha, tell me a joke, Ministry of Agriculture"
