Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chen Changan set out from the car factory and arrived earlier than Uncle Nie.

Li Chenglin and a group of factory leaders inspected the residential area that had already been topped off.

Looking at the residential buildings, all of which were made of reinforced concrete frames, he finally nodded with satisfaction.

At least Chen Changan doesn't have to worry about future earthquakes.

"When will the supporting facilities related to Director Li be completed?

We can't just focus on the residential area. Once the workers move in.

There must be corresponding supporting facilities, right? Apart from anything else, you can’t go to another place for half an hour to buy groceries, right?”

Director Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Changan was satisfied.

I have also worked on many projects, but Chen Changan is the most difficult to serve.

The most important thing is that Chen Changan himself understands it better than ordinary people.

I heard that others all used brick-concrete structures, so I followed suit. I didn't understand what a frame structure was.

It just so happens that Chen Changan, the director of a car factory, is very familiar with construction.

It doesn't matter if you are familiar with it. After all, the frame structure is made of steel bars and concrete, which is very expensive. How can ordinary units afford it?

But the car manufacturer is not short of money, so it just goes with the frame structure.

If it were a brick-concrete structure, their construction team would probably have completed the residential area by now.

Many temporary workers can get started with the work, at least they can move bricks and mix plaster.

It was replaced with a frame structure, which required carpenters to nail the frame, tie the steel bars, and then pour the concrete.

After this set of processes, the level of participation of temporary workers becomes very low.

Unfortunately, both Chiang Kai-shek and Leader Nie supported Chen Changan.

“The vegetable market is very simple, but the area is larger.

Currently, the vegetable market, nursery school, and primary school have all started construction. They are not high-rise buildings and will be completed soon.

That is the workers' club and the cinema, which will take some time.

I’m afraid it won’t be finished before the workers move in, but it will definitely be finished before winter.”

In fact, it’s okay if the Workers’ Club and the cinema are slow, at least there’s no need to be so anxious.

After Chen Changan took a quick look around, Uncle Nie also came.

"Has Changan seen it? I don't understand these things. If Changan thinks it's okay, then it's okay.

I'm just here to go through the motions and get a brief understanding of the situation.

When I went back, I told my subordinates to rest assured and not to worry about when they could move in. They had no time to concentrate on their work.”

That being said, Uncle Nie still wanted to take a look, and Chen Changan and his group accompanied him.

Finally, we returned to the makeshift shed and held a brief meeting.

“Here in the residential area, with you worrying about it, I have nothing to see.

Your car factory has been doing very well recently. I saw your truck.

It’s well made. Although the load capacity is a little small, it doesn’t require high road conditions.

It would be perfect for use by the army, as for the issue of building a factory you raised last time.

The department has decided to build a machinery factory first, mainly to provide support for you.

Let’s give it a try first. If this model works, we will continue to build factories later.

When the time comes, the process and technology departments of your automobile factory will also have to contribute.

First hand over some simple parts to the machinery factory, which can also reduce the pressure on your automobile factory.

I heard that your car factory is about to have a new engine?

With a new engine, does that mean there will be a new car to go with it? A truck this time?"

“Yes, there are still some minor issues with the engine and it will take some time.

It will definitely be produced within the year, and by then it will be equipped with a truck with a load capacity of four to five tons.

By then, the two types of trucks will be used together, and there will be no problem with short- and medium-distance transportation capabilities."

"Then does your car factory have the manufacturing capacity to produce both types of trucks and pickup trucks at the same time?"

“It’s difficult, and even if it is possible, the production of trucks will only be lower.

Therefore, the opening of a new machinery factory has become urgent.”

Uncle Nie also understands that truck production is difficult and there is a great demand for skilled workers.

Trucks are not only needed by the army, but also by many other units.

The production is so small that other units simply can’t get it.

“How about this, I’ll go back and hold a meeting to see if we can build two new machinery plants at the same time.

It would be a good thing if I could help your auto factory share some of the parts.

Your automobile factories should also think of ways to increase production as much as possible.

The troops didn't even mention how many trucks they needed.

The opening request is to buy out the entire production of your automobile factory. This is a huge demand.

If it weren’t for the great sacrifices made by the troops in previous years.

Basically, no foreign exchange has been allocated to them, so it is impossible for them to take over the entire market.”

Chen Changan doesn't care which unit these trucks will go to in the end. These are all things that Uncle Nie and his people are fighting for.

Chen Changan only needs to make each car well and try to increase production.

Uncle Nie left in a hurry. If it wasn't for meeting Chen Changan, Uncle Nie would not have made the trip in person to complete the topping-out of the residential building.

When Chen Changan returned to the car factory and had just parked his car in the small square of the administrative building, he saw the Finance Department paying salaries.

In this era, wages were paid in cash. As there were many workers in the automobile factory, Hou Yan arranged for the payroll to be paid in an office on the first floor of the administrative building.

After experiencing the experience of losing money, Chen Changan became stricter with his financial requirements.

The same applies to salary payments.

One person is responsible for calling the roll and confirming that the person receiving the salary is the same as the person on the list.

Check the salary on the spot, sign or put your fingerprint after confirmation.

The salary will be paid to him by another financial officer, and there will also be two security officers on site to supervise and protect the site.

In one office, there are four staff members involved in salary payment.

There were four offices distributing salaries at the same time, and outside the four offices, there was a patrol team from the Security Department guarding them.

Such a configuration can be said to be airtight.

From a distance, I saw Rong Lu, the little girl who had asked me if she could have an meal at the car factory.

She held her brother Rong Yi's hand.

She was waiting in line with her brother to receive her salary. She saw Chen Changan from a distance and called out to him.

Chen Changan remembered that Yi Ran was already a third-level worker at such a young age, so he walked over.

"Bring your sister to collect the salary?"

"Yes, Director. Teacher Cao is going to the Propaganda Department to make a broadcast today.

I let the kids go home early today because I was afraid she would run around alone, so I brought her here to collect my salary.

Chen Changan nodded and saw that many people were eager to come over and talk to him.

Chen Changan hurried upstairs and returned to his office.

It's time to pay salaries, so don't let things get messed up. If you lose money, you won't be able to explain it.
