Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Zhang Renkang nodded and continued

"The production department will set up a special team in the future. The current production department will be cancelled and changed to the production planning department. The personnel department and the finance department as well as the publicity, medical and other internal affairs departments will be merged into the administrative department, which will operate as a deputy department-level department."

"The canteen department remains the same, but the small warehouse will be cancelled. All food and supplies will be collected and registered at the warehouse management department. The canteen department must prepare a weekly consumption budget and collect supplies from the warehouse management department according to the budget."

"The warehouse management department has been merged with the transportation department and the purchasing department to form the logistics department. This is a corruption-stricken area. You must do a good job of supervision, especially those cadres with bad reputations and criminal records. They should all be transferred out from here."

"The Ideological and Political Affairs Committee and the Patrol Team that were previously established in the factory have been merged, and I will personally take charge of the work. Previously, our level was not high enough to dispatch the security department, so we had to cooperate with the nearest police station. However, our factory's production and research and development have begun to involve confidential information, so we will arrange for the military department to take charge of our security work in the future."

"You need to help them familiarize themselves with the factory's situation as soon as possible and develop a set of confidentiality measures and protection plans."

"Especially in the R&D department and some testing and production workshops, everyone must undergo political review and investigation."

While listening to Zhang Renkang's explanation, Liu Feng quickly took out a pen and wrote it down in the notebook he carried with him, then said softly:

"Secretary, is there not enough living space in our factory? There are not enough houses and dormitories for the family quarters in the factory."

"Do you think we should apply to build a batch of staff buildings or expand the family quarters?"

Zhang Renkang nodded and asked

"How is the financial situation of the factory?"

Liu Feng said with a smile

"Our factory has now achieved profitability, with a monthly surplus of more than 180,000 yuan."

"Moreover, the orders and task targets we have can at least meet the production of the entire factory for five months. Although the task targets do not have much profit margin, the orders we take on ourselves can bring the factory a surplus of 150,000 yuan each month according to calculations."

"Not counting the funds allocated by the higher authorities, there are 1.3 million yuan available."

Liu Feng's mouth curled up as he spoke. He had been working in the factory for nearly ten years and had never been so generous. In previous years, he was satisfied as long as there was no big deficit, not to mention the surplus. Now, there was more than one million yuan in the account of the Finance Department.

He has never seen a bill of more than 100,000 yuan in his life.

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"You can find the construction team and the engineering bureau to study the budget. If we want to start construction, we have to consider the needs in the next five years."

"I mean, the family quarters also need to be expanded. The expansion of the family quarters is relatively simple. For the construction of residential houses, we can gather manpower from the surrounding village brigades and family quarters, and pay them according to the work done."

"Women in the family quarters can be called together to provide logistical services and given appropriate family allowances. This way, the cost of doubling the area will not be very high."

Under the current policy, Zhang Renkang and his colleagues can only go to the local town government to communicate, and the town government will dispatch young and strong people from each village brigade to assist the factory in expanding the family quarters. The factory will provide material or financial subsidies according to their work and effort. Of course, the subsidies are given to the brigade and the town government. As for the villagers who come to work, the brigade will naturally give them work points or other rewards.

The family quarters are even simpler. This is the factory's job. All they have to do is call on the workers to go back and mobilize their relatives to participate. In this era, the sense of honor and collective consciousness is still very strong. As long as the factory calls, basically everyone who has the conditions will respond. Especially now that there are no classes to study and the factory provides meals, many people don't mind sending their teenage boys to the construction site to eat public meals.

What if I perform well and am hired by the factory?

Zhang Renkang continued

"As for the staff buildings, I think we should ask the Engineering Bureau to come up with a design and budget plan, and we'll review it. We'll build ten buildings in the first batch, and the second batch will start next year depending on the situation. The cadres' housing will all be built according to the specifications of two-bedroom apartments of 70 square meters, and the staff housing will be built according to the specifications of one-bedroom apartments of 50 square meters."

There is no such thing as a shared space nowadays. Fifty square meters is not a small space. If you renovate it yourself, it will be no problem for five people to live there.

"You just need to submit your application to the main factory, and we will start work after the superiors approve it."

"And the first factory construction meeting for our manufacturing plant will be held in Workers' Square tomorrow. How are your preparations going?"

Liu Feng said

"I received your call a few days ago and started preparing. Now the stage has been set up in the square and all the units have been deployed. We will enter at 8 o'clock tomorrow."

"We have already prepared the National Day ceremony for the day after tomorrow, and now it is held together with our factory opening ceremony, which can be regarded as a double happiness."

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Yes, it's a good sign. Tomorrow we will officially announce the renovation of the machine repair factory and the appointment and deployment of the factory."

"We will also commend some of the outstanding representatives in the factory and take this opportunity to start our formal reform. According to my plan, our various departments will basically be able to operate with a new look next month."

Liu Feng nodded, discussed other matters with Zhang Renkang, and turned to go out.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Zhang Renkang picked up the phone on the table and called the steel mill. After a while, he heard the other end asking

"Hello, this is Secretary Li's office at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Who are you looking for?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Secretary You, how come you can't even recognize my voice after not seeing me for a day?"

You Fengxia blushed and said with a smile

"Director Zhang, Secretary Li just went out. I'll report to him and call you back when he comes back."

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"It's okay. Please tell Secretary Li to dispatch the materials I submitted yesterday tomorrow."

"Have the Transport Department deliver it to the Workers' Square of the factory before 8 o'clock tomorrow."

You Fengxia said

"I understand, Director Zhang, I will report to Secretary Li"

You Fengxia knew that Zhang Renkang had transferred a batch of supplies from the steel mill, including pork and mutton, as well as a large amount of flour and cloth. He also transferred more than 30 bicycles and a batch of pens and notebooks from the supply and marketing department of the department store in the name of the steel mill.

These things are what Zhang Renkang wants to hold a factory-wide meeting in the manufacturing plant to start a new transformation of the transport vehicle manufacturing plant, mobilize the enthusiasm and support of all the workers in the factory, complete the transformation of the grassroots organization, and then in turn completely clear out those cadres who are just idling around in the vegetarian seats in the factory.

He wanted to lay a solid foundation for the automobile industry before the spring breeze blew. In the northern suburbs of the old city, Zhang Renkang planned to take advantage of the fact that Western capital could not enter the domestic market and their greedy nature for high profits to absorb and learn the advanced civilian engine and automobile manufacturing technology of the West bit by bit.

Cultivate talents and reserve technology for future explosion. Even if they cannot expand the domestic civilian car market for a while due to various reasons, the country will eventually develop. In the past, they were stuck in technology. After so many years of joint ventures, the European and Japanese car companies made huge profits, but these domestic joint ventures could not even develop an excellent engine.

If it weren't for the development of new energy, the Dragon people would have lost all their face.
