Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

The next day.

Xie Yuanchang came directly to the institute with the order from above and announced the decision in front of everyone. The entire institute was suddenly plunged into a frenzy of surprise.

Zhou Tian’s administrative level was also promoted from level 11 to level 10.

"Congratulations, Xiaotian!"

In the office, after the meeting, Xie Yuanchang and Zhou Tian sat opposite each other.

"What are you congratulating me for, Minister? You know me, but I have never had such an idea before!"

Zhou Tian took out a cigarette, threw one to Xie Yuanchang, lit it himself, and took a deep puff.

"No matter what, your research institute came from the Mechanical Department. If you have good things in the future, don't forget the Mechanical Department!"

Xie Yuanchang also took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep puff and said, "While he was talking, his heart seemed to be bleeding."

You have to know that the Ministry of Machinery has been able to provide benefits to workers on a large scale in recent years, all thanks to the transfusions from the research institute and several factories under the institute. However, such days will probably never come again in the future. The more he thought about it, the more he felt heartbroken.

Why was I so blinded by my own thoughts in the first place, thinking of taking credit from my superiors?

"That's for sure, but Minister, I want to ask, when will the retired soldiers promised by the higher-ups arrive?"

Since it was the decision from above, Zhou Tian could only acquiesce. In fact, he didn't want the institute to be so high-profile, but time waits for no one. Seeing that the movement was getting closer and closer, he initially just wanted to improve the domestic industrial level before the movement.

But who would have thought that we would be pushed to this point step by step.

"Probably in September, but considering the importance of the car factory, the higher-ups will try their best to coordinate and get them there earlier. Maybe they will arrive in May!"

Xie Yuanchang heard this and said helplessly.

The automobile factory was about to go into production, but who would have thought that workers would become a big problem instead. It can be said that all suitable young people of working age around the old city have been swept away by the newly built factories in recent years. You know, no one dared to imagine this before.

Recalling the time when the country was just liberated, there were more factories than workers and many people were scrambling to get a job in a factory. But now recruiting workers has become a big problem. Where can he seek justice?

From the difficulty in relocating veterans in 1953 to everyone scrambling for resettlement now, it can be said that the changes in the past two years are really incomprehensible. Of course, he also knows that all this is caused by the little guy in front of him.

"May, which means there's still a month left, that's fine!"

After calculating the time, Zhou Tian nodded. A month was not a long time and he could still wait.

"By the way, the commander said that if there are not enough people this time, you can recruit workers on your own!"

Finally, Xie Yuanchang naturally did not forget to remind him, and Zhou Tian nodded.

After seeing Xie Yuanchang off, Zhou Tian returned to the office. The expression on his face suddenly relaxed and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"How did things become like this?"

He knew that when the wind started to blow, the higher the status, the more likely it was to be affected. He had gone from an ordinary worker to where he is today in just a few years. This instantly gave him a very ominous premonition.

"Is it really impossible to avoid it?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he might end up in this situation. This made him resist the sudden promotion from the bottom of his heart, but the problem was that many things were beyond his control.

"That's all, let's take it one step at a time!"

He frowned and put out the cigarette in his hand.

"Dean! Congratulations!"

Just when Zhou Tian was full of worries, Zhang Mingzhi and others walked in with smiles on their faces and congratulated him.

"What's there to congratulate? Don't forget that the higher the position, the greater the responsibility!"

Zhou Tian looked at the few people walking in, and immediately stood up and welcomed them in.

"That's right, Dean. Isn't a promotion a good thing? Moreover, our institute has been separated from the Ministry of Machinery and is now under the Central Government. In the future, our institute will have more room for operation!"

Zhang Mingzhi smiled and said,

"Yes, Dean, this is a big happy event, we have to prepare a table!"

Song Weiguo also agreed with a smile.

"Okay, stop using that on me. Our research institute has been upgraded, so it's time for some reorganization!"

Hearing the dean suddenly talking about business, the smiles on their faces turned serious.

They also knew that with the upgrading of the institute, the institute would inevitably be reorganized, but they did not expect the director to do so so quickly.

In fact, Zhou Tian had already had a plan in mind for the reorganization of the institute, and it was not something he had just come up with now. He had originally planned to start it next year, but who would have thought that with the upgrading of the institute, everything would happen so quickly.

Therefore, he had no choice but to speed up the reorganization process.

"Dean, please speak!"

Several people immediately sat up straight and looked at the dean.

"Don't worry, your basic rights will not change after the reorganization!"

Seeing the serious faces of several people, Zhou Tian could only explain with a smile. Although he could be said to have the final say in the entire research institute, he actually knew very well that the reason why he could achieve this was inseparable from the support from above.

Otherwise, he doesn't think these people really have no other means, and he never looks down on anyone.

When they heard this, except for Zhang Mingzhi and Song Weiguo who looked slightly embarrassed, the expressions of the other three did not change at all.

But this is not surprising. After all, both Zhang Mingzhi and Song Weiguo have just tasted power for the first time and naturally do not want to give it up completely.

"After the reorganization, I will roughly divide the research institute into six departments: administrative management, technical research, external liaison, engineering docking, personnel training, and logistics management!"

"As for administrative management, you all understand it, so I won't go into details. As for technical research, I plan to divide it into seven research institutes, six of which will be responsible for the research and future upgrades of the six branch factories. Jiang Long, Zheng Tianhua, and Chang Weijun, the three of you must each be responsible for one!"

When Jiang Long and the other two heard the dean's words, they nodded without hesitation.

“There is also a research institute where I do my own research and prepare for other projects in the future!”

Zhou Tian then introduced the responsibilities of several other departments. In fact, to put it bluntly, external liaison is the department that represents the research institute in liaison with various factories outside. It is mainly responsible for communicating and cooperating with other departments outside.

Just like communicating with the Ministry of Foreign Trade on home appliances and machine tools, engineering docking is about transforming and engineering applications of the institute's products. Based on the basic research results of the scientific research department, we carry out applied technology research and development, product prototype design and development, etc.

There is also personnel training, which is a place to train all technicians and cultivate talents. Of course, compared with vocational schools, it is more professional! Even the scope is wider.

Logistics management, needless to say, everyone knows it!

In this way, the institute will completely end the chaotic and complicated situation and enter a new orderly and virtuous cycle. Of course, this will require a lot of talents, but for the time being, the talents trained by the institute before will be enough for a while.

After listening to the dean's suggestion, the few people did not object but nodded in agreement.

"Of course, this is just my initial idea. If you have other ideas, please let me know!"
