Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Sure enough, the title of infrastructure maniac in the previous life was not for nothing.

Walking into the construction site, Zhou Tian saw from a distance that Xie Weijun and four others were pushing carts and moving bricks with the workers, working very hard.

"Brother Song, Lao Xie, old leader!"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but shout to the four people.

"Director, why are you here?"

Soon, Zhou Tian’s shouting attracted the attention of four people. When they looked up and saw Zhou Tian, ​​they were all stunned. Then, regardless of being covered in dust, they came up to him and smiled.

"It's okay, I just wanted to come and see the progress of the branch factory construction. But now it seems that in just over a month, the four branches should be completed!"

Looking at the four people, Zhou Tian smiled and said, glancing around. At this time, the workshop was almost completed and countless engineering teams were speeding up construction.

Since there was sufficient manpower, the construction speed was naturally faster than he had imagined.

"Yes, Director. I didn't know until I came here that the construction of the workshop and factory building was not slow. We saw with our own eyes that the factory building was built step by step from scratch. It was changing every day!"

Xie Weijun wiped the sweat from his head and couldn't help but smile proudly.

"That's right. The main reason is that the factory areas of our four branches are a bit too large. Otherwise, it wouldn't take so long!"

Song Lian, who was standing by, was also wiping the mud off his face and agreed.

This is just the beginning. You know, during the war, a ten-mile-long cement road could be paved overnight. This level of strength was nothing for the engineers.

Especially when on the peninsula, the air raid shelter could be built a mile in half a day. Song Lian was not surprised by this speed.

"Okay, stop bragging. Let's go. Follow me around and take a look around first!"

Zhou Tian smiled and walked forward. Upon hearing what he said, the four people also followed him with a smile, and started to tour with Zhou Tian.

Since the four branches were built together, their combined area was as large as one thousand acres. The number of people involved in the entire project was as high as more than 20,000 to 30,000 people. At a glance, it was crowded.

The four branches were built at the same time, so the construction speed of the branches was basically the same, and each branch covered an area of ​​nearly 200 acres.

If this place was not already on the outskirts of the old city and most of it was wasteland, even if the machinery factory was highly valued, it would be basically impossible to acquire such a large piece of land.

It would take more than three hours just to walk from the main gate to around the four factories, and this was just a quick tour during Zhou Tian's visit. It shows how big this factory is.

"By the way, Lao Zhang, if I'm not mistaken, that factory building is the machine tool factory, right?"

After touring the factory, Zhou Tian pointed to an area that was obviously different from the other factories and asked.

"Yes, Director, that is indeed the machine tool factory!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanchang looked in the direction Zhou Tian pointed and nodded.

"Well, have you figured it out? If we concentrate our efforts on building the machine tool factory first, how many days will it take?"

When Zhou Tian heard Zhang Yuanchang's confirmation, he couldn't help but ask.

“Build a machine tool factory first?”

Zhang Yuanchang was slightly startled by the factory director's words. Although he didn't know why the factory director asked this, he still pondered for a moment and said, "Director, if we really put all our efforts into building the machine tool factory first, it will probably be completed in half a month at most!"

After all, with the current construction progress of the machine tool factory, even so, it will only take more than a month to complete. If all manpower is concentrated on the construction of the machine tool factory, the speed will naturally soar.

According to his estimation, half a month would be enough to complete it.

As for Song Lian and the other two, although they were also curious about why the factory director asked this, they were smart enough not to say anything.

"Okay, Brother Song, old leader, and Old Xie, let's stop the construction of the factory buildings that you are in charge of for now, and focus on completing the machine tool factory first. As for the other three factories, we can speed up the progress after the machine tool factory is completed. What do you think?"

When Zhou Tian heard that it would only take half a month, his heart paused, he stopped and turned to look at the three people.

"Director, can we ask what's the emergency?"

Upon hearing this, Song Lian and the other two did not show any dissatisfaction on their faces, but instead asked.

After all, several branch factories will be completed in more than a month, but now the factory director asked them to concentrate on building the machine tool factory first. If nothing else, they also knew that the factory director would not issue such an order.

"Because the country has placed a huge order with our factory!"

Zhou Tian told the four people about the 100,000 machine tools. He was not asked to keep it secret, and the matter could not be kept secret for long, so there was no need for him to hide it from the four people.

"What? One hundred thousand machine tools?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Weijun and Zhang Yuanchang were immediately shocked by the number of orders, and they both screamed in surprise at the same time.

As for Song Lian and Zheng Weiguo, they looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

"No, Director, is the quantity you mentioned true? Did the country really place such a huge order?"

It took a long time for the four of them to come back to their senses. Zhang Yuanchang could no longer hold back and asked with a somewhat excited look.

You know, he is the director of a machine tool branch factory that is about to be established. If the country really places such a huge order, it means that before he even takes office as the director, the entire machine tool factory will probably have his name on it.

And one hundred thousand machine tools, what a concept! According to the scale of the machine tool factory that is about to be established, it is probably enough for the production capacity of the machine tool factory for two years.

This is really too scary.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanchang couldn't help swallowing his saliva. If the factory director hadn't said this himself, he would have thought he was dreaming.

"Yes, 100,000 units. Originally, I planned to put the machine tools in the machinery factory for production, but you also know that the production capacity of the machinery factory is insufficient. If we want to produce so many machine tools, it will take at least ten years. This is obviously not good for our machinery factory. So I thought of the machine tool factory. If the machine tool factory can be built in the shortest time, then this order will naturally be nothing!"

When he was designing the machine tool factory, he designed it based on an annual production capacity of 50,000 machine tools. Therefore, although an order of 100,000 machines is huge, it is actually nothing once the machine tool factory is built.

"Don't worry, Director. Since our machine tool factory has received such a huge order from above, our machine tool factory will definitely not disappoint you and the country's high hopes. We will definitely complete it in the shortest possible time! We will strive to start construction as soon as possible!"

Are you kidding? An order for 100,000 machine tools, not to mention other things, just this number alone, the profits earned by the machine tool factory in the past two years are enough to leave other factories far behind. Maybe, in the end, even the main machinery factory may be surpassed.

Thinking of this, he wished he could gather all the engineers immediately and build the machine tool factory as soon as possible.

"Okay, that's what we need! In addition, in a while, the higher-ups will assign us 30,000 veterans. I've already made the arrangements. They will be trained inside the machinery factory first. After the training, I hope the machine tool factory can be completed soon. Come on!"

Zhou Tian said this, reaching out and patting Zhang Yuanchang on the shoulder.

"Okay, now that I've finished touring the branch and explained everything, I'll be leaving now!"

After saying that, Zhou Tian nodded to the four people, turned around, left the branch factory, got in the car, and returned to Sijiu City.
