Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Everyone was a little confused. What did Sun Zhengguo want to do?

He took a drawing from the desk and handed it to Director Li in a calm and unhurried manner.

"Director Li, take a look at this blueprint. It should be a bit difficult. I think we can give it a try?"

Director Li was also skeptical and took the drawings and started to look at them.

Although he did not know how to process parts, as a qualified factory manager, he could barely understand the drawings.

"Mr. Sun, this drawing is not just a little difficult, it is very difficult. I am afraid the workers are not competent for it."

After reading the drawings, Director Li said with some embarrassment.

"Director Li, you can do it! Indeed, if you want to make the parts shown in the drawings, you must at least reach the level of a level 7 lathe operator. Even then, you may not be able to succeed."

Sun Zhengguo's words were tantamount to indirect admission that Director Li was right.

"What does Mr. Sun mean by this? As you know, this worker in our factory is only a level 6 lathe operator."

"My meaning is very simple. Even if the technology is not up to the task, we can use machine tools to make up for it. Only in this way can the true value of this machine tool be reflected."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he looked at the worker again.

"Master, do you dare to challenge yourself? If you can complete this part, you will pass the Level 7 assessment today. How about that?"

After hearing what Sun Zhengguo said, the worker swallowed and looked at Director Li embarrassedly.

The meaning seems to be: Director, does this guy keep his word?

"Why are you looking at me? Engineer Sun is an engineer in the department, so I'm just giving you an early assessment. Would he lie to you?"

"Hahaha……!"

Director Li's words caused everyone to laugh.

The worker also realized that this was an opportunity, so he nodded and agreed without hesitation.

After a while, the parts were delivered and the workers began to process the parts with full concentration.

After all, this concerns one's own future and cannot be taken lightly.

As the parts were rather complex and might take a little longer to complete, Deputy Minister Li and his team came to the door to communicate so as not to disturb the workers.

More than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and through this period of communication, Vice Minister Li also gained a certain understanding of the new machine tool.

At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the workshop: "Success, success."

Upon hearing the voice, several people stopped communicating and walked back to the workshop in big strides.

As soon as I entered the workshop, I saw the worker running over excitedly with a caliper in his hand.

"Reporting to all leaders, the parts have been processed. I have measured them and they are completely qualified."

Seeing this, Sun Zhengguo took the caliper from the worker without saying a word and walked forward to start measuring again.

A few minutes later, Sun Zhengguo put away the caliper and nodded to Vice Minister Li.

"Deputy Minister Li, there is absolutely no problem. The error is so small that it can be ignored. With this level of skill, I would believe that this master is an eighth-level worker."

"Bah bang bang...!"

The excellent performance of the new machine tool shocked everyone on the scene, and thunderous applause suddenly broke out in the workshop.

After the applause, Vice Minister Li asked some small details.

For example, for parts like this, how many can a skilled level 8 worker process in a day?

Director Li also reported truthfully, saying that there were no more than two at most.

If you are unlucky, you may not get any, which means all of them are scrapped.

After hearing such a huge contrast, Vice Minister Li finally understood why Sun Zhengguo was so arrogant and looked down on those imported precision machine tools.

There is really no harm without comparison. This is simply a dimensionality reduction attack. It's like using a matchlock gun against a bolt-action rifle. How the hell can you compare?

Machine tools with such excellent performance are not available in foreign countries. Even if they are available, they will not be sold to you. Even if they can be sold to you, the price may be unaffordable.

When thinking of this, Deputy Minister Li was extremely excited. This time the achievement was so great that it might allow him to make further progress.

"Jungguk, does that mean the experiment is complete this time?"

After calming down, Deputy Minister Li asked happily.

"Deputy Minister Li, the experiment was actually completed at the beginning. I just wanted to open everyone's eyes while everyone is here."

Seeing Sun Zhengguo's high-spirited look, Deputy Minister Li did not say anything? After all, which young man is not frivolous?

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been so arrogant that he would have asked the organization for this and that.

But Sun Zhengguo didn't do that. From beginning to end, he never asked for a penny of funding. This spirit is extremely rare and precious.

At this time, Deputy Minister Li suddenly recalled a conversation they had had before.

So he pulled Sun Zhengguo aside and asked quietly.

"Zhengguo, tell me the truth, how many machine tools like this can you assemble?"

"No, Vice Minister Li, I listened to you at the beginning and did not dare to produce more parts. Now I have only assembled this one." Sun Zhengguo was joking and did not tell the truth.

"Stop talking nonsense here and tell me the specific numbers so I can report to the general manager."

"Hehe!" Sun Zhengguo said with a smile: "Deputy Minister Li, give me some more time, I can get 10 machine tools like this."

"so much?"

Deputy Minister Li said in surprise: "You are a good kid. You know how to prepare for a rainy day and gave me a big surprise. Now I have the confidence. Okay, I will report to General Lai in person and ask for credit for you."

"Thank you, Vice Minister Li. Do these machine tools need to be assembled immediately?" Sun Zhengguo asked.

“Of course we need them. I guess these 10 machine tools are not enough to fill the gaps. It gives me a headache just thinking about it.” When Vice Minister Li said this, his mind was already imagining the scene of the scramble for them.

"No, Deputy Minister Li, we agreed at the beginning that I didn't ask the organization for a penny of funding, right? I also need this batch of machine tools."

After Sun Zhengguo mentioned this, Vice Minister Li felt a sudden chill on his scalp. He did say this at the beginning, and he didn't know how to end it now?

If it were an ordinary machine, it would be fine, but this batch of machine tools is too excellent, and good steel must be used on the blade, so it is impossible to give them all to Sun Zhengguo.

"Zhengguo, don't worry. To be honest, I don't think it will be my turn to allocate this batch of machine tools. It depends on the general idea. I will try my best to help you get it when the time comes!"

When Sun Zhengguo heard this, he said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

In fact, he doesn't need so many machine tools here. After all, it is a research institute, not a production organization.

After everything was settled, Vice Minister Li left the machinery factory very satisfied. The members of the accompanying working group were all very happy. After giving so much, they were finally getting a reward.

After Vice Minister Li left, Sun Zhengguo began to arrange people to assemble the new machine tools.

At this time, the worker came over and said cautiously.

"Leader, you see the big leader has left, do your words still count?"

Sun Zhengguo slapped his forehead and remembered this. "I'm sorry, Master, I was too busy just now. I will arrange it for you right away."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he called Director Li again and said, "Director Li, please fill out an assessment form for this master. I will just sign it and stamp it when the time comes."

"okay!"

Director Li also happily agreed to this matter. After all, they were workers in his own factory, and he didn't care who cared.

Seeing that the task was completed, the worker did not doubt whether Sun Zhengguo had the ability and went to work happily.
