In the next time, Hu Wenhai was responsible for accompanying Hu Jiefang and having a good time near New York.

The luxury enjoyment of the Central Park Hotel opened Hu Jiefang's eyes, and he kept shouting that the capitalist world can really corrode people, but he was happy to try all the services.

Hu Wenhai maliciously thought, if he hadn't been here, maybe his father would have wanted to taste the taste of the golden cat......

Ahem, Hu Wenhai hurriedly threw this malicious speculation about his father out of his mind. His life in the next few decades has long proved that Comrade Hu Jiefang is definitely not that kind of person.

Starting from the second day, Hu Wenhai took Hu Jiefang to visit the tourist attractions of New York City one by one. What Statue of Liberty, Times Square, as well as Wall Street and the Empire State Building, by the way, Hu Wenhai also deliberately dragged Hu Jiefang to the World Trade Center to take dozens of photos. No way, in more than ten years, this attraction will never be seen again......

has lived in a small city like Xiucheng for decades, and Hu Jiefang has really opened his eyes. He was amazed not only by the great material abundance of the United States, but also by the efficiency with which the people worked here. Especially after eating enough of the service attitude of the salesmen of state-run shopping malls, and then looking at the service attitude of the Americans, I really feel that I don't know which side is my "comrade".

As a factory manager with thousands of employees, the productivity of workers is his primary concern. I didn't think it was in China before, but after comparing it with the Americans, it showed that the domestic work efficiency was at the bottom.

Therefore, after meeting with William, Comrade Hu couldn't wait to ask if he could visit the factory in the United States after talking about the time and form of delivery.

Originally, William was not interested in this kind of request, but for some reason, when he made a phone call, he immediately changed his expression when he came back.

"Okay, Mr. Hu Jiefang. The expression on William's face was a little subtle, and he nodded and said, "Grumman has an aircraft factory near New York, and I have permission to take you to see it." ”

"Oh, thank you, thank you so much!" Hu Jiefang held William's hand, and he really felt that the Americans were closer than his own son.

Then William and Lao Hu got into the car and drove all the way towards Long Island, New York.

It was a long walk, and although William said it was in a factory near New York, it took more than two hours to be on the road alone. The three men set out in the morning and arrived at a factory at the end of an apparently heavily guarded highway until noon.

William first received three passes from the guards at the gate of the factory, and carefully handed over two of them to Hu Jiefang and Hu Wenhai, and advised: "This is a fighter machine manufacturing plant of the American Grumman Company, and the passes must be carried at any time and placed in a conspicuous position, otherwise it will be very troublesome to be caught by the guards!"

"I understand, I understand!" Hu Jiefang ran an arsenal at home, and he didn't know anything like the secrecy regulations, so he immediately nodded his head.

After passing through the barbed wire fence gate on the perimeter of the factory, the three men drove for another 10 minutes before they saw a rather modern factory.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard to believe that this extravagant way of using land is actually near New York, where every inch of land is at a premium. Hu Wenhai believes that just by virtue of such a piece of land, Grumman may have millions of dollars in value every year.

Before entering the workshop of the factory, William drove three people through two gates and three inspections, and the level of security was simply difficult for mosquitoes and flies to enter. And along the way, Hu Jiefang is also dizzying.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the factory design of Grumman, you can clearly feel that it is higher than the 501 factory, I don't know how many times. Needless to say, the greenery and roads are all detailed and exquisite. Even though it is an industrial manufacturing plant, you can drive around the factory area, but you don't hear much of the machine starting.

In Grumman's factory, it is rare to see workers walking blindly with nothing to do, even if they pass by, they are all walking briskly, or simply driving a battery car in a hurry.

William skillfully parked his car in the parking lot in front of an office building, and soon after that someone came from the office building.

“colon......”

The person who came came out of his mouth with half a word familiarly, and then he looked embarrassed and held back, and finally just stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "William, you haven't been here for a long time, how is Erica?"

William shrugged helplessly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Thank you, she's busy running for state legislature now, you know, busy to death." ”

"Let me introduce you, this is a manager of a military factory in China, and we have some business dealings with his factory. After William exchanged pleasantries with the visitor, he happily pushed Hu Jiefang over and introduced: "This is Mr. Hu, this is Mr. Xiaohu, they want to visit your factory." Raul called you, didn't he?"

"Yes, very welcome, guests from China! My name is Mark Hunter, you can call me Mark. ”

Hu Wenhai translated the conversation between the two to Hu Jiefang, who hurriedly stretched out his hand, shook it with Mark, and said enthusiastically and even a little flatteringly: "Thank you Mr. Mark for your generosity and for causing trouble to the American comrades! I will never forget the friendship of the American comrades!"

When Hu Wenhai heard this, three black lines almost appeared on his forehead and a crow flew in the sky, so he had to change the explanation for Hu Jiefang according to the normal words of thanks.

However, it is obvious that as Grumman's high-end manufacturing factory in New York, the various technical levels of this factory have put a lot of pressure on Hu Jiefang, so that Hu Jiefang, who has a very hard waist, is a little hunchback at this time.

This is not surprising, hey, Hu Wenhai is very familiar with this kind of mental gap caused by the backwardness of Chinese after suddenly opening their eyes to the world. The most famous, in fact, is not that General Liu visited the US aircraft carrier and was a dignified hero of the founding of the country, but he humbly asked questions about the ordinary GIs of the Americans. Back then, in the photo of looking at the American helicopter with his neck pulled, how many Chinese youths cried?

Fortunately, Mark obviously got the instructions from above a long time ago, and attached great importance to Hu Jiefang's visit. Not only did he accompany him personally, but he even knew everything about his problems.

The first place Hu Jiefang proposed to visit was the largest and most conspicuous main assembly workshop in the whole factory.

There is a 15-meter-high steel structure workshop and a fully enclosed frame structure. Even standing in front of the door of the workshop, the sound of work inside can only be faintly heard.

This quiet atmosphere was indeed a completely alien experience to Hu Jiefang, who was accustomed to the noise of the factory. He walked into this workshop with some awe, and in the long steel structure workshop, there was no end in sight. The busy workers did not react to the sudden appearance of the group, and were still working in a tense and orderly manner.

Hu Jiefang couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Mark, why do the workers in your company seem to be in such a hurry? I see that some people can't wait to bring a wind even when they walk. ”

Mark said indifferently: "The management of our Grumman factory is very strict, and all the work has standard schedule requirements. Because the work delay caused by anyone and any position will be punished by the whole working group, so the workers will never relax their requirements for themselves and can take the initiative to improve work efficiency. ”

Hu Jiefang listened to Hu Wenhai's translation, and then asked puzzledly: "Excuse me, what does the working group mean? Aren't you using assembly line operations?"

"Haha, that kind of Ford-era production method, we have long since abandoned it. Mark shook his head, walked to the plane closest to the door, drew a circle with his hand, and said: "The entire assembly of an F-14 fighter jet is impossible to build with a production line like a car." Because there are so many parts for fighters, such a production line does not know how complicated it must be. What's more, in the assembly of fighter jets, there will be many complex situations, and it is impossible for mechanized assembly line workers to face them. ”

Seeing that Hu Jiefang was listening carefully, Mark's vanity immediately swelled a lot, and he tirelessly explained: "One of our working groups can assemble a fighter from beginning to end. The whole group of eight people, led by a senior engineer, every worker in the group is capable of every assembly job. Our engineers, like workers, insist on being on the front line, and every worker has a voice in the management of work. ”

In the end, Mark waved his fist proudly, looked at Hu Jiefang and said: "Our Grumman plant organizes production according to the elements of post-Ford production, and not only managers, engineers and workers can also reform the management system. The only requirement is to be able to increase production capacity. Therefore, our Grumman factory can be said to be the most high-level factory in the world today!"

Hu Wenhai translated his words to Hu Jiefang, but he didn't want the longing on Hu Jiefang's face to disappear, but there was an inexplicable complicated gaze.

"I said Wenhai, are you translating correctly? How do I listen to it, it's a bit like the constitution of the steel city that we promoted in the early years......
