"This is your Yuzhong man?"

Two days later, when Zhong Zhuoyuan and Wei Xuegen brought the newly appointed person in charge of the compressor project to report the research ideas to Feng Xiaochen, Feng Xiaochen almost burst into laughter. The project leader in front of him, about 30 years old, has bright eyes and bright teeth, black hair, and a very neat up and down body, and he looks extremely capable at first glance. But the problem is that a cadre of people has been shouting for a long time, saying that all the people in Yuzhong are men, but this one is obviously a sister!

"Well, we thought twice and felt that only Xiao Jiang was the most suitable person to be the project leader. Don't look at her as a lesbian, she is no worse than a gay man, and she is more attentive and patient than a gay man. Among the young generation of engineers in our factory, there is no more suitable person than Xiao Jiang. ”

Wei Xuegen introduced to Feng Xiaochen sneeringly. Gender discrimination has always existed in heavy industry enterprises, especially in the north. Previously, Pan Caishan said that he would pretend to be a girl to sweep the floor and cook, which is a manifestation of this kind of sexism, he said it smoothly, and the people who listened to it did not feel disobedient, but echoed it. But the trick is that when Zhong Zhuoyuan and Wei Xuegen returned to the technical department and began to take stock of the suitable manpower in their hands, they found that all male engineers had such and such shortcomings, but this female engineer named Jiang Yan was more qualified in all aspects, which was simply a slap in the face of Hongguoguo.

"Why, Assistant Feng looks down on lesbians?" Jiang Yan saw Feng Xiaochen's evil smile and asked with a frown.

"No, no, Jiang Gong misunderstood. Feng Xiaochen hurriedly denied it, and then briefly said what Pan Caishan and others said about "men" that day.

When Jiang Yan heard this, she also burst out laughing, and with this laugh, the room was suddenly filled with sunshine. Feng Xiaochen also laughed and said, "Jiang Gong's smile, I have confidence." We have a saying that a girl who loves to laugh is not too lucky. ”

"It's still a girl, my girl is about to go to elementary school. Jiang Yan responded heartily, but there was a bit of joy in her tone, obviously Feng Xiaochen's evaluation of her made her quite happy.

Wei Xuegen also laughed and said: "Xiao Jiang's personality is very good, he is smiling and very optimistic at all times. It is because of this that Chief Engineer Zhong and I chose her as the project leader. The project was very difficult, and without a bit of optimism, I was afraid that it would not be able to persevere. ”

Zhong Zhuoyuan said: "Yes, we talked to a few people at the beginning, and as soon as they heard about the importance of this project, they panicked, saying that they were afraid that they would not be able to bear such a big responsibility. ”

"I didn't think so. Jiang Yan said nonchalantly, "I just treat the 20 megawatt compressor as a normal product, and aren't all products designed by people?"

"Do you have any experience in this area?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Jiang Yan said: "That's what I studied in college, and later I was assigned to Yuzhong, but I was asked to do quality inspection." However, now I can pick it up if I want to, and I got a first-class scholarship in college back then. ”

"What conditions do you need?" Feng Xiaochen asked again.

"Funding, needless to say. To build such a high-power compressor, it is necessary to have a high-power test bench, and I heard Chief Engineer Zhong say that the factory has promised to build a test bench. There is also information, the factory data room has foreign chemical machinery journals in the past few years, and it has not been subscribed in the past four years, I don't know what new breakthroughs there are in this area abroad. And also...... It would be better if we could invite a few experts from the National Chemical Design Institute to guide us, so that we can avoid some detours. ”

Jiang Yan crossed her fingers and said to Feng Xiaochen, it could be seen that she had thought about this issue seriously before, presumably after Zhong Zhuoyuan and they talked to her, she began to enter the role.

"I can help you with all of this. Feng Xiaochen readily agreed. These conditions put forward by Jiang Yan were not troublesome conditions at all in Feng Xiaochen's opinion. In addition to the need for a relatively large investment in the experimental bench, and the need to go to the bank to coordinate, other things are all a matter of effort for Feng Xiaochen.

Hearing Feng Xiaochen's promise so happily, Jiang Yan smiled again and said lightly: "Then it's no problem, we can start working right away." ”

"Okay, Jiang Gong, you start to form your research team now, and I will implement the conditions you need as soon as possible. Although you said that you just regard this product as an ordinary product, I still have to say one more thing, this is related to whether our country's energy lifeline can be in your own hands of a strategic project, if you can overcome it, your achievements will be recorded in the history of China's industrial development. Feng Xiaochen couldn't help but scoop a spoonful of chicken soup for the soul.

Jiang Yan smiled brightly and said, "Assistant Feng, don't worry, I made a reservation for the location of the annals you said." ”

Jiang Yan went back to the technical department, looking at her light back from the window, Wei Xuegen whispered to Feng Xiaochen: "Xiao Jiang, don't look at her a little arrogant just now, she doesn't seem to care about anything, in fact, she has a very strong sense of responsibility, and she has the strength to work hard." I discussed with Lao Zhong for a long time, and I felt that if there was someone in Yuzhong who could pick this project down, it would definitely be Xiao Jiang. ”

Zhong Zhuoyuan also said: "She was born in compressors, and when she entered the factory, she had missed the introduction of compressors that year, but as far as I know, she used her spare time to read all the compressor materials sealed in the archives." This time, Lao Wei and I asked for her opinion, and she didn't stumble at all, so she told us about the design idea of the compressor for a long time, and we both gave the town. ”

"This girl, what a man!" Feng Xiaochen commented with emotion.

This one has determined the candidate for designer, and on the other hand, Pan Caishan, Zhang Yue and Xie Fugang are also in full swing to form a production team. No matter how good the design is, it will ultimately be realized by the workers, and if the technical level of the workers is not good, the designer's ideas will become a castle in the air. The high-power compressor runs at high speed under high pressure conditions, and a little deviation in processing will lead to serious vibration of the equipment, affect the service life of the equipment, and may even cause potential safety hazards.

Xie Fugang convened the senior technicians of the whole factory to conduct a comprehensive test, selected the most skilled workers, and formed a trial production team, which was responsible for manufacturing the equipment prototype according to the design provided by the technical department. Of course, the design of a new device will not be achieved overnight, and several prototypes need to be built during the design process for experiments to verify the designer's ideas and identify existing problems. The task of this prototype team is to turn the design drawings into real objects in a timely manner. In order to avoid the defects in the prototype manufacturing from misleading the designer, the members of this team must all be elite soldiers, and any one person who comes out is a well-known technical backbone.

The heritage of the old state-owned enterprises was reflected at this time, and it was difficult to find a sixth- and seventh-level senior technician in other places, but in Yuzhong, eighth-level workers were able to pull out a large group. In order to make the trial production work more certain, Pan Caishan and others even came to the door in person and invited several masters who have been retired for many years. Some of these people have participated in the trial production of PCL units introduced in those years, and know a lot of key know-how in compressor manufacturing, which can not be seen in ordinary textbooks, and the value is incalculable.

Pan Caishan made a promise to the members of the trial production team, saying that after the successful trial production of the compressor, everyone would be dressed in red and hung with color to hold a celebration party, and each person would be given a bonus of no less than 500 yuan. The values of the workers are very simple, and when they heard the factory director say that this matter is related to the life and death of the factory, and heard that they can wear a big red flower and receive a high bonus, they are all emotional, and they are all full of rhetoric about "if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent".

At the time when the headquarters of Yuzhong was fully mobilized by the compressor project, the housekeeping service project jointly promoted by Yu Rui and Xie Keli was also fully rolled out. After coordination with the Yubei Municipal Government, led by the Municipal Women's Federation, more than 100 domestic service companies have been established in the city. Among them, it is divided into two categories, the first is the community service center or community service station divided by region, which is to provide comprehensive housekeeping services for a community, and the second type is a variety of professional companies, such as cleaning companies, nursing companies, tutoring companies, etc., focusing on professional services.

Qi Ruicang has taken office, and since the beginning of his tenure, he has advocated independent entrepreneurship in the city. Not to mention, there are also many people in Yubei who have entrepreneurial dreams, because there is no entrepreneurial atmosphere in the society, these people are afraid of people's jokes, and they are also worried about entrepreneurial risks, so they have been in a dormant state. Qi Ruicang gave speeches and lobbied everywhere, lighting the fire in the hearts of these people, and China Merchants began to receive continuous consultations on entrepreneurship policies, and some laid-off workers applied to open small restaurants, small shops, barber shops, laundry shops, etc., which was a scene of recovery.

Qi Ruicang, as the only official in the entire China Merchants Bureau who advocates independent entrepreneurship, has naturally become the backer and "godfather" in the minds of entrepreneurs. Almost every day, people come to "Professor Qi" or "Director Qi" to ask him questions about entrepreneurship, and ask him to analyze the business plan and evaluate the risks and benefits for him.

Qi Ruicang was very excited at the beginning, and patiently received every entrepreneur who came to consult, and told them the most classic entrepreneurship course in the United States.

But then Qi Ruicang found that this set couldn't go on. With so many people coming to consult, he simply didn't have the time to give everyone such a lengthy entrepreneurship education. Besides, everyone is not concerned about Westerners or Orientals such as Drucker and William Ouchi, but how to support their families in the Chinese city of Yubei.

As a result, Qi Ruicang changed, and there was no longer any Chicago School theory in his mind, only some vulgar content such as rent, salary, and utility bills.

However, he lived every day to the fullest.
