Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Don't Know What the Picture Is
"Xiao Feng, you have been in our factory for more than a day, and today you have been in the workshop for more than half a day, what do you think of our factory?"
Yu Chunan did not answer Feng Xiaochen's previous question, but first asked Feng Xiaochen's impression of Xinmin Factory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Feng Xiaochen thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is a lack of vitality." ”
"High!" Yu Chun'an praised, "That's right, it's just a little lacking in vitality." Starting from Director He, to Director Dai, to Lao Tao, as well as the workshop director below and some ordinary workers, they all have a passable attitude, how can they be vigorous?"
"I think Section Chief Xie of the Technology Section seems to be quite passionate. Feng Xiaochen said, he remembered that when he had dinner at noon, Xie Chengcheng and Peng Haiyang chatted hotly, that should be a manifestation of vitality, right?
Yu Chunan shook his head and said, "Lao Xie, this person still has some ability, but if you want to talk about passion, it is a matter of more than ten years." You talk to him about technology, and he might be a little interested. But if he were to be asked to give some opinions on the production in the factory, he would become a dumb man, and he would not be willing to be responsible. ”
"Why is that?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
"Big pot of rice. Yu Chun'an said, "We are such a factory, the production plan is all decided by the superiors, let you produce as much as you want, let you produce, you will produce." In this way, do you still need to think about anything? It is best to do things step by step, and if you are ingenious and do something else, you will have nothing to say if you do it well, and if you do it badly, you will be asking for trouble. ”
Feng Xiaochen's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "The matter of producing a 12-cubic-meter excavator hydraulic valve for us is a bad thing done by ingenuity, right?"
Yu Chunan nodded: "That's right, that's it." At the beginning, it was your Lin Chong's purchaser who found our factory, and said that it was a joint project of the three ministries and commissions. As soon as the factory leader's brain was hot, he went next. As a result, there was an oil leak in the hydraulic valve sent to the machine, and the leader of the machinery hall called Director He, saying that our factory was dragging its feet and that we had to find a way to make up for it.
It's so easy to make up for this kind of thing. Director He gave a death order to both the technical department and the production department, demanding that the oil leakage problem must be solved. Xie Chengcheng was so anxious that he couldn't solve it during that time. We'll have to find a way to produce two of them and send them to you first, and see if we can handle it. Director He said several times at the meeting of middle-level cadres that he should not have taken this matter if he knew this, and the output value was not much, but he was in trouble. ”
"Isn't the oil leakage because of the valve hole sand pressing, and it's not so difficult to solve, right?" Feng Xiaochen said.
Yu Chun'an said: "This is what everyone knows, to solve the problem of sand pressing, or to modify the process, but for a while and a half will not be able to find other fine grinding methods." Either it is to increase the investment in sand removal after the fact, in fact, we do this, but we have repeatedly cleaned it more than a dozen times, and it has not been cleaned. The efficiency and effect of manual sand removal are not satisfactory, and we proposed to engage in a set of automatic sand removal equipment, which was rejected by the factory. ”
"Why did you veto?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
"Don't want to spend money. Yu Chun'an said.
"How much does it cost?"
"We didn't calculate it, but we estimated it would cost more than 2,000 yuan. ”
"It's only more than two thousand yuan?" Feng Xiaochen was stunned, "Your factory won't be able to take out such a little money, right?"
"Of course not. Yu Chunan said, "It's just that the factory leaders feel that this kind of money is not worth it." They said that the hydraulic valves of the excavator are built so many times, and the output value adds up to thousands of dollars, and it is not worth spending 2,000 yuan to build an automatic sand cleaner. ”
Feng Xiaochen said: "If such a piece of equipment is built, it must not only be able to use our hydraulic valves, but also other hydraulic parts you make will also involve sand removal, right?
Yu Chunan sneered: "Of course it will appear, but we have always sold it like this, and no one has raised opinions, so why do we need to do better?"
"This ......" Feng Xiaochen was speechless.
Speaking of which, this situation of Xinmin Factory is not very special. Under the planning system, enterprises have little autonomy in production and operation, and the amount of production and how to set prices are all set by the state. It is also very normal for enterprises to ensure income in drought and flood, do good and bad work, and do not want to forge ahead. There are only a few domestic enterprises that produce hydraulic parts, as long as the product quality is passable, users can not refuse, He Yongxin They have to be embarrassed by themselves, to try what technological innovation?
The matter of the hydraulic valve of the 12 cubic meter excavator is a lesson for He Yongxin and others. They originally thought that they would take it as a political achievement and let their name be heard by the leaders of the mechanical department, but they ended up making a pit and trapping themselves into it. What they are thinking about now is how to get out of this pit, not how to get things done. After such an incident, they must be even less interested in innovation, right?
"Then why are you still pulling Master He and them to think about the noise of the hydraulic pump?" Feng Xiaochen asked again. The factory leaders are not interested, and the technical department is not interested, Yu Chun'an, the deputy chief of the production department of such a ********, is not taking a few workers to carry out innovation?
"That's why I don't like the leaders. Yu Chunan didn't explain, but laughed self-deprecatingly.
"In Xinmin Factory, are there many people like you?" Feng Xiaochen said.
"These few you see, Master He, Master Ye, Xiao Han, and some others, I can introduce you when I have the opportunity, and when you want to talk about it, it's not too little. Yu Chun'an said.
Feng Xiaochen raised his question: "Since the leaders don't want to forge ahead, what do ordinary middle-level cadres like you, especially ordinary workers like Master He, want?"
"I don't know what the picture is. Yu Chun'an said, "In order to put forward reasonable suggestions, I have provoked many factory leaders, especially Director Dai and Section Chief Tao, who have always felt that I am troublesome." Actually, I really don't want to do anything, my idea is that if I can do something better, if I don't do it, I feel uncomfortable. Master He, I'm afraid it's the same way, this can be regarded as people in groups and things in kind. ”
This is actually a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, Feng Xiaochen thought to himself.
As a sage once said: Since ancient times, there have been people in China who have worked hard, those who worked hard, those who asked for their lives for the people, and those who sacrificed their lives to seek the law. These people don't seek any fame or fortune, they just instinctively want to do their own things well. In the eyes of mediocrity, these people are completely self-seeking troubles and putting in the effort, but there may not be good results. But for these people, how do you know that working hard is not a kind of happiness?
"So, what about Han Jiangyue?" Feng Xiaochen asked with a smile.
"Xiao Han......" Yu Chun'an pondered for a while and said, "Her situation may be different, and she is still a little young." When she first arrived, because there was always a problem with the parts provided by the metalworking workshop to the assembly workshop, she quarreled with the production department several times. Later, she found that it didn't work, so she did it herself. As you can see this morning, she'd rather work on the defective parts herself than have the milling class rework because she doesn't want to be angry. ”
"This can be regarded as grinding off a little edge, right?" Feng Xiaochen said.
Yu Chun'an had a worried look on his face and said, "Yes, I look at this girl, and she is very conflicted. On the one hand, I want her to grind off a little bit of the edges and corners so that she doesn't have to bump herself off. People like our generation have all bumped into each other, and it is at the cost that they have learned how to behave in the world. But on the other hand, I hope that she will maintain the current edges and corners, and only with edges and corners can she be energetic, if young people like Xiao Han become sleek, there will be no hope for our country. ”
"At the end of the day, it's a matter of mechanics. Feng Xiaochen said, "A good mechanism can make a lazy person become diligent, and a bad mechanism can make a diligent person lazy." The current mechanism of Xinmin Factory is to make everyone more mediocre, if this mechanism is not changed, I think Xiao Han will be assimilated sooner or later. ”
"Don't call her a girl to your face, she'll fight with you. Yu Chunan laughed, perhaps thinking that Feng Xiaochen's words just now were too pretending to be old. You must know that Feng Xiaochen himself is a young man under 20, and he actually learns the tone of middle-aged and elderly people such as Yu Chun'an and He Guihua, and calls Han Jiangyue a girl.
"It's okay, she's not going to look for me desperately. Feng Xiaochen said confidently.
Yu Chun'an just said a casual gossip, and after finishing speaking, he brought the conversation back to the topic, he said: "Xiao Feng, what you just said is very reasonable, the mechanism is the most important, without a good mechanism, it will indeed make diligent people lazy." Look at Lu Pan in the metalworking workshop, he has learned technology for several years, and the level of lathe workers is not as good as Han Jiangyue, a fitter. But no one can take him, he will take his monthly salary, and he will survive until the end of the year, and he will have to be promoted, or he will be able to make trouble in the provincial department. ”
"Among the factory leaders, no one wants to change this appearance?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
Yu Chun'an said: "Yes, there is, but the strength is too weak." ”
"Who is it?" Feng Xiaochen said.
Yu Chunan said: "It is the secretary of the party committee of our factory, named Xu Xinkun. He is a demobilized soldier and has the energy to do things. When I first came, I proposed to carry out an assessment system in the workshop to reward attendance and punish laziness. But he didn't know how to do it himself, so he couldn't come up with any good assessment methods. And He Yongxin has been the director of the factory for more than ten years, and the tree has deep roots, he does not cooperate with Lao Xu, Lao Xu is lonely, and the assessment measures cannot be implemented at all. This matter has been done for several months, and in the end it can only be resolved, but it makes Lao Xu so angry that he is hospitalized for two months. ”
"I see. Feng Xiaochen nodded, and began to know a little about this factory.
