Chapter 182: Xu Wenliang is retiring

Feng Xiaochen's meeting with Cui Yongfeng really did not attract the attention of Qin Chong's leaders. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After that, Feng Xiaochen continued to inspect in Qinzhong, implementing the issue of subcontracted production and technology introduction one by one. Although there were many dissatisfaction with the arrangement of this project, Qin Chong's leaders still solemnly made a guarantee, claiming that they would organize elite soldiers to complete the production tasks subcontracted from Klinz Company, and would do their best to digest and absorb foreign advanced technology. As for what it means to be a strong soldier and what is the greatest effort, that is a matter of opinion.

During this period, Wang Genji and Zhou Mengshi went back to the capital together, and came back a few days later. Of course, this is not a strange thing, Song Hongsheng and Gong Zhenxing didn't take this matter to heart.

One night after Wang Genji returned from the capital, Xu Wenliang welcomed two guests in his study, they were Feng Xiaochen and Wang Genji of the Heavy Equipment Working Group.

As the chief engineer of the factory, Xu Wenliang lived in a four-bedroom apartment of more than 200 square meters, which was very rare at that time, of which the study alone was more than 40 square meters. In the middle of the study is a large drawing table with a lamp with a telescopic rod. The place against the wall is full of filing cabinets, full of books and drawings, and it looks like a large office.

"Please sit down, the house is very messy, and it makes you laugh. ”

Xu Wenliang beckoned Feng Xiaochen and Wang Genji to sit down, and he also sat down on a rattan hoop chair.

He said that his family was very messy, but in fact, it was just a humble word, compared to Cui Yongfeng's snail house, Xu Wenliang's home can be called a mansion. By the standards of the time, of course, there was no luxurious decoration in his house, but the floor was also terrazzo, the lower half of the wall was painted with light blue paint, and the upper half was snow-white lime, and there were two layers of curtains hanging on the windows of the study, one was a thick cloth curtain, and the other was a light gauze curtain.

If someone else walks into Xu Wenliang's house for the first time, it is estimated that they will make a fuss and offer countless compliments. It's a pity that Feng Xiaochen has experience in later generations, and Wang Genji, as a second-generation official, has a very high vision, so he only praised Xu Wenliang's decoration lightly, without revealing any envy, which made Xu Wenliang slightly disappointed.

"Chief Engineer Xu, our study in Qinzhong is almost over, we have learned a lot in the past half a month, thank Chief Engineer Xu for teaching us during this time. Feng Xiaochen smiled and said a very routine official language.

"Director Xiao Feng is too polite. Xu Wenliang also said diplomatic rhetoric, "You are superior leaders, and you are here to inspect our work in Qinzhong." You have put forward a lot of good criticisms of the work of our factory, which is very helpful to the development of our factory, and we should express our gratitude to you. ”

"Haha, then let's learn from each other. Feng Xiaochen didn't dwell on this issue, he changed his tone and said: "Chief Engineer Xu, it is a pity that the factory did not arrange for you to preside over the introduction of Klinz technology this time." I heard that the main reason is that you reported to the factory and applied for retirement. I think you're only 56 years old this year, so it's still early to retire, so why should you apply for retirement?"

Xu Wenliang smiled slightly and said, "I'm old, and I'm full of problems. My waist is not very good, let alone drawing, but I can't stand it after looking at the drawings for a long time. There is also the eye is not good, presbyopia plus astigmatism. I told Director Gong and Director Wu that I should not be in charge of this project, and it was time for young comrades to come up. We old guys, it's time to give way to Xian. ”

Feng Xiaochen said: "Chief Engineer Xu, don't say that, I think you are still in the prime of life." This time, Qin Chong introduced Klinz technology, and without you, a veteran, taking the lead, we are really worried about whether Qin Chong can complete the subcontracted task on time and with quality. ”

"No problem at all. Xu Wenliang said, "Lao Li and Lao Dong of the technical department are very experienced. Lao Li has been the deputy chief engineer for 12 years, and Lao Dong has been the deputy chief engineer for several years. This time, we Qin Zhong didn't bear too many complicated parts, and the two of them were enough to take it down. ”

The Lao Li and Lao Dong mentioned by Xu Wenliang are Qin Chong's two deputy chief engineers, one is called Li Jianhe and the other is Dong Jinxi, and Feng Xiaochen has also been in contact with them these days. In terms of experience, these two are indeed good, but in terms of their ability to comprehend technology, they are still a lot worse than Xu Wenliang, and they are far inferior to Cui Yongfeng, who is just an ordinary engineer.

Qin Chong verbally promised that he would take the subcontracting task of the hot rolling mill seriously, but when it came time to actually make arrangements, it was quite disappointing. The person in charge of the technical aspect arranged Li Jianhe and Dong Jinxi. When Feng Xiaochen questioned Wu Sanlin, Wu Sanlin explained that Xu Wenliang had already submitted a retirement report to the factory and applied for early retirement, so it was inconvenient to arrange for him to be in charge of this project, which would take several years.

In addition to the weakness of the technical team, the arrangement of workers and equipment is also unsatisfactory. The work plan submitted to the working group for review was written in a colorful manner, but Feng Xiaochen, who already knew something about Qin Chong's situation, could see that there were many untruths in it. A group of workers with the highest technical level in the factory are excluded from this project, and most of the equipment arranged for use is the older batch, although the newly purchased imported equipment in recent years is also listed in the equipment list, but the specific arrangement of working hours is small and few, and it is just a formality.

Regarding the latter point, Wu Sanlin also explained, that is, Qin Chong has other production tasks, which are also very important, such as the large water turbine used in a certain hydropower station, the large belt conveyor in a certain coal mine, etc., these are all equipment used in national key projects and cannot be ignored.

If Feng Xiaochen hadn't conducted a field trip, such a report might have fooled them. However, after this period of investigation, looking at this report again, it can be clearly felt that Qin Chong despises and even resists the hot rolling mill project.

The so-called policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom is talking about this situation. Qin Chong was dissatisfied with the arrangement of this project from the beginning, but the state had already decided on this matter, the introduction agreement had been signed, and the relevant work had already begun, so it was useless for them to oppose it, so they could only adopt this method to resist passively. Including Xu Wenliang's application for retirement, it is also a manifestation of this resistance attitude, the so-called "application for retirement" is not really about to retire. After the application, there is still a stage of approval, which comes and goes, and it is unknown whether it will drag on for ten or eight years, but Feng Xiaochen and they have no reason to let Xu Wenliang take the lead.

Regarding this point, Feng Xiaochen and Wang Genji can see through it, and Qin Chong also knows that they can see through it. This kind of trick is called Yangmou: That's what I did, you can't help it. As long as I do not explicitly oppose the instructions of my superiors, my superiors will not make a big fuss about such a small matter.

In Xu Wenliang's view, the purpose of Feng Xiaochen and Wang Genji coming to him must be to play the emotional card, or even the benefit card, to persuade him to come out of the mountain to preside over the project. Xu Wenliang also thought about it, and tried his best to refuse their request, if he couldn't help it, he could also give them a face, but when the time came, they didn't have anything to say. In Xu Wenliang's opinion, what Feng Xiaochen needs is just Xu Wenliang's name, so that they can go back and explain.

Thinking like this, Feng Xiaochen spoke again, and to Xu Wenliang's surprise, Feng Xiaochen actually skipped about his retirement, and talked about another topic:

"Chief Engineer Xu, I heard that you have designed a set of drawings for a 1700 mm hot rolling mill more than ten years ago, can you let us observe it?"

"How do you know about the set of drawings I made?" Xu Wenliang was a little surprised.

Feng Xiaochen smiled: "I also heard about it by chance. Chief Engineer Xu also knew that I had worked in the Metallurgical Department of Nanjiang Province, and later went to the Metallurgical Bureau of the State Economic Commission, so I was very interested in the technology of hot rolling mills. I've heard that you've drawn such a set of drawings, and I'd love to take a look at them. ”

"Hehe, that was more than ten years ago. Xu Wenliang smiled and said, "Okay, since Director Feng wants to see it, then I'll be ugly." Director Feng is also a technical expert, and I would like to hear Director Feng's opinion. ”

With that, he stood up, walked over to a bookcase, opened the door, and pulled out a large bundle of drawings from inside. Feng Xiaochen and Wang Genji hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xu Wenliang carry the drawings to the table, and then together with Xu Wenliang, they spread out the drawings one by one and pressed them on the large drawing table with a paperweight.

"This is the drawing of a rolling mill, how can there be so many?" Wang Genji looked at this pile of drawings, and felt a little dizzy. The drawings are densely drawn, with lines and symbols, and those who don't know how to do it seem to be similar to the Book of Heaven.

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "Lao Wang, this is just a general design drawing. If you want to be specific about the individual parts, you can fill several trucks by drawing them all. A set of rolling mills weighs tens of thousands of tons, and the drawings have to be drawn several tons. ”

Xu Wenliang gave a thumbs up and said, "Director Xiao Feng knows how to do it. ”

Feng Xiaochen pretended to be aggrieved and said, "I don't know how to do it, just because I moved these drawings with my own hands." When I was in the Nanjiang Metallurgical Department, the Economic Commission was planning to import this set of equipment from Japanese benzene, and the negotiations were almost completed. ”

"I know about this matter, at that time we applied to go over to see these drawings, but later because the negotiations failed, the Japanese side shipped the drawings away, and we did not make it. Xu Wenliang said.

"Haha, if you had gone to Nanjiang at that time, maybe we would have met again. Feng Xiaochen said with a smile, and then, he pointed to the drawings with his finger and said, "Chief Engineer Xu, can you please explain it to me?" )
