Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Zhou Tian was silent. Even Chang Wen and the other two who were washing dishes nearby looked at Xu You with a hint of respect.

For him, he had thought about many issues, but he never expected that the boiler factory concealed the number of workers for this reason.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and after a long while he asked.

"Director Xu, how do you want me to help you?"

Although Xu You's actions seemed to be suspected of poaching from the country, it was not necessary for Zhou Tian to report it. He was not able to do it, and it was not that he would tolerate such evil practices.

But he was very clear that the country was still in a difficult situation and it was inevitable that the widows of martyrs would not be taken care of.

In fact, Xu You's doing this can be said to be helping the country solve its difficulties in disguise. Although he did not participate in the Korean War, he knew the cruelty of that war and understood the value of today's peaceful life. How could he possibly add insult to injury to the widows of these martyrs?

He couldn't do this, and he didn't want to be schemed against in this way, but if the people who schemed against him were people like Director Xu You, he was willing to be schemed against by them.

It's not about how noble he is, nor how selfless he is.

But he has his own bottom line and his own moral standards. He knows that he will suffer losses in this way, but who makes him willing to do so?

"Really? Okay, okay! That's great!"

Hearing this, Xu You immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and shouted happily.

"President Zhou, we don't ask for much, and we don't need you to do anything. We just want a stable supply. All the workers in the factory need stable working conditions!"

“Steady supply, stable working conditions?”

Zhou Tian took a deep puff of cigarette. He originally thought that Director Xu would make some requests, but when he heard Xu You's simple request, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He fiercely stubbed out the cigarette butt, put it in the ashtray and said, "Okay, isn't it just about stable supply and working conditions? I'll give it to you!"

Originally, he came to Heihe for the boiler and for the big brother's country to do something. But now that he has encountered this incident, his original idea of ​​locating the sugar factory in Sijiu City has been shaken.

"Director Xu, do you think that if we set up a sugar factory in Heihe, can we solve this problem?"

Now that he had made the decision, he no longer hid it and told Xu You all his thoughts.

But after hearing what Zhou Tian said, Xu You was shocked. He knew that the sugar factory was definitely better than the boiler factory, but the problem was that he never thought that Dean Zhou would point out such a way out for them.

In his opinion, as long as Dean Zhou could improve the equipment of the boiler factory, or attract some unplanned orders, it would be enough for the workers in the boiler factory to survive. But now there is such a surprise.

All of a sudden, Xu You couldn't describe how he felt.

"Dean Zhou, is what you said true?"

Xu You asked with a trembling voice.

"Ok!"

Zhou Tian nodded without any hesitation.

"Okay, great. I'll report this to my superiors right away. President Zhou, no matter whether this thing succeeds in the end, everyone in our boiler factory will be grateful to you!"

After Xu You finished speaking, he ran outside quickly. His movements did not seem like those of a man in his sixties at all.

Watching Xu You leave, Zhou Tian's heart suddenly felt at ease for some reason. He looked at the roujiamo brought by Director Xu on the table, and he smiled inexplicably.

Soon Xu You's report attracted the attention of the Heihe County government, especially when they learned that the matter was personally guaranteed by Zhou Tian, ​​the president of the Sijiucheng Red Star Machinery Research Institute.

They did not dare to delay, and before noon, the commissioner of Heihe County came to their door.

After listening to Zhou Tian’s plan, especially after knowing that President Zhou had researched the production of sugar using microorganisms, the commissioner immediately reported the matter to higher authorities and finally to the Machinery Department of Sijiu City.

It's no wonder they are so anxious. The profits from the sugar factory are really too huge. Especially the microbial sugar-making method studied by Zhou Tian may increase the domestic sugar production by several times or even dozens of times. The annual sugar production may reach millions of tons. They know that this is no longer something they can decide!

When the Ministry of Machinery found out about this, it caused a sensation throughout the ministry. Sugar factories, you know, there are many sugar factories in China now, and there are even quite a few large ones.

Even if all were added together, the annual output of white sugar in China is only a few hundred thousand tons. A large sugar factory can only produce tens of thousands of tons.

Now they have seen that President Zhou has actually developed a microbial sugar-making method that can produce millions of tons of sugar annually. They have to build it no matter what. If this was someone else's achievement, the Ministry of Machinery might not have taken it so seriously.

But the problem is that this is Zhou Tian’s achievement, so they naturally have no doubts. But at the same time, they are considering building a large sugar factory in Heihe, which is not a trivial matter after all. To be on the safe side, they still reported the report to the top.

When the leader saw the report, he immediately gave instructions and allowed it to be built.

After receiving approval from the leadership of the Ministry of Machinery, Xie Yuanchang sent Deputy Minister Wang to Heihe by train overnight.

Of course, although Zhou Tian had anticipated all of this in his mind, he was not so clear about it. Anyway, on this day, after seeing off the Heihe Commissioner, he visited the boiler factory under the guidance of Xu You.

The current boiler factory is still very old. After all, the equipment is all from before the liberation. Even with the assistance of Big Brother, these equipment are all second-hand equipment from Big Brother in China.

The production efficiency is naturally not as high as in the previous life, but even so, it can meet the requirements of the microbial culture furnace designed by Zhou Tian.

After communicating with many technicians in the boiler factory, Zhou Tian handed over the microbial culture furnace to them for production and provided detailed design drawings.

However, just in case, he still tried his best to explain his design concept and specifications to some technicians and provided some manufacturing ideas. Only after these technicians nodded to show that they understood did he return to the guesthouse with peace of mind.

After all, with the ideas and design drawings he provided, if they still can't make it, then Zhou Tian will have to do it himself!

After having dinner provided by the boiler factory in the evening, the four of them went back to rest.

Zhou Tian waited until he realized that Chang Wen and the other two had fallen asleep. Then he suddenly opened his eyes in bed, got out of bed carefully, opened the window, and disappeared into the room in a flash.
