Chapter 51 New Products for Smelters
For Su Hongmei, who is thousands of miles away, Yang Weiping seems to have forgotten that there is such an acquaintance during this time, and he is so busy every day that he can't break one minute into two minutes.
The formation of the factory guard team is not the end of the job when the staff is full. The 300 newly recruited employees are all temporarily assigned to the security department of the factory, and the positions are collectively called "security guards".
In terms of staffing, Yang Weiping imitated the model of the Production and Construction Corps, and after a three-month probationary period of 300 newly recruited employees, he would eliminate the last 60 and hire only 240 to become official members of the security team of the Tiangong Smelter.
The 60 people who were eliminated did not have to roll up and go home, but signed a three-year labor contract with the workers to become a regular employee, but their salary and benefits were much worse than those of the security guards, but the salary level was still slightly higher than that of the same industry.
The newly recruited employees are basically Hong Kong locals, the oldest is 24 years old, and the youngest is 20 years old, all of whom have a high school education level or above.
These young people originally came to apply for the high salary and benefits of Tiangong Smelter, and after passing the first round of screening and getting the personnel file form of "reserve employees", they found that the recruitment standard of Tiangong Smelter was higher than that of the Hong Kong Police Headquarters.
The labor contract provided by Tiangong Smelter is basically in accordance with the local laws and regulations of Hong Kong, with a probationary period of three months, and those who pass the expiration of the period will sign a formal contract for three years, and if the contract expires, if the labor and management are willing to continue to cooperate, they can renew a supplementary contract for a period of five years, and the third renewal period will be increased to ten years, and so on.
Tiangong Smelter hopes in principle that every employee who joins the factory can become a lifelong employee of the factory, for such employees, the factory not only improves the social security and pension protection of "three insurances and one housing fund", but also will increase the salary by 5% per year according to the employee's performance and salary during the employment in the factory, until the employee retires honorably.
Such a contract is even more superior than the civil service contract specially formulated by the British government for the Hong Kong police, so much so that many young people who originally wanted to take the police examination rushed to apply for the Tiangong smelter.
Of course, among the applicants, there are no questions about the financial strength of Tiangong Smelter, and it is hoped that the factory can come up with more convincing evidence to prove that the factory has the strength to ensure the execution and notarization of this contract.
In this regard, Yang Weiping also seemed quite generous and upright, and took out a certificate of deposit of 4.5 million US dollars issued by a Swiss bank, as well as the blueprint for the factory's first five-year plan, so that all doubts immediately dissipated.
Enterprises are subject to quasi-military management, and there are many such enterprises in many countries in Europe and the United States, even in Hong Kong. Although the requirements of Tiangong smelter are a little stricter, the salary and benefits provided by the factory are also better than those of other enterprises. Therefore, all the three hundred employees selected chose to obey very wisely.
The recruitment notice published in the newspaper of Tiangong Smelter only clearly stated that the salary and benefits were the highest in the same industry, and did not list specific terms, and only those who came to apply with the newspaper could see the detailed wage standard on the bulletin board posted by the factory. Because of this, other local business owners in Hong Kong are prevented from asking for trouble in the name of raising workers' wages at Tiangong Smelter and disrupting the market order.
Since the relevant property rights procedures of the smelter have been completed, Yang Weiping can be said to have taken the factory as his home.
After the first phase of recruitment, Qiu Fang also moved from the rented apartment to live in the factory.
Three construction engineering companies are building construction projects in various parts of the factory, making the Tiangong smelter present a hot and thriving new atmosphere.
This also makes the 300 new employees who undergo queue training every day further increase their sense of belonging to the factory. …,
Throughout the entire Kwun Tong Industrial Zone, the smelter has been continuously investing in various infrastructure constructions for a few days, and has become the object of attention of the Kowloon Government Office and various media for a while.
I don't know if Lu Dao is what Wang Xiangdong has done, or if the news media has paid more attention to the Tiangong Smelter recently, and no Gu Chao boy has come to the Tiangong Smelter to look for trouble recently.
In this regard, Yang Weiping did not relax his vigilance. He knew in his heart that as he continued to invest more in the smelter, this piece of fat became fatter and fatter, and he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were secretly watching every move of the smelter.
The detectives of the Kowloon Police Station and the bigwigs of the major clubs seem to be waiting for this newborn lamb to grow fatter and more beautiful.
Yang Weiping raced against time to seize all the time, while using money to establish relations with the British government in Hong Kong, and on the other hand, secretly accumulating self-preservation, this sense of crisis, until Xiang Yang secretly returned to the smelter from the mainland with a group of their brothers' comrades-in-arms on the Korean battlefield, Yang Weiping breathed a sigh of relief.
Out of trust in Xiang Rong and Xiangyang brothers, Yang Weiping gave the highest standard treatment to the twelve veterans of a hundred battles brought by Xiang Yang from the mainland, which made these veterans who had just come to the capitalist world inexplicably grateful.
The newly renovated staff dormitory was renovated on the basis of the original 11-storey dormitory building. There are a total of 136 rooms, all of which are decorated according to the specifications of the standard rooms of the current three-star hotel in Hong Kong, so that the "quasi-security guards" who have just moved in to the check-in area are happy to shout about the boss.
The highest eleventh floor is where Yang Weiping, Qiu Fang, Xiang Rong and Xiang Yang live.
The twelve old comrades-in-arms that Xiang Yang brought from the mainland were also arranged to live on this floor, one room for each person, and in disguise guarded the two suites where Yang Weiping and Qiu Fang lived on the innermost floor.
Yang Weiping basically did not interfere in the daily training work of the security department, and he spent most of his time on the technical transformation and upgrading of the smelting equipment that could be used in the smelter.
At the beginning, in order to get the technical transformation project of Tiangong smelter, more than 20 large companies specializing in the production of complete sets of smelting equipment from seven countries including Germany, Japan, France, Belgium and the United Kingdom have made bids. Yang Weiping comprehensively analyzed the existing resources and development direction of the smelter, and finally chose EDF, which is more authoritative in aluminum smelting, to undertake the technical transformation project.
The predecessor of Tiangong Smelter was mainly engaged in copper smelting, but Yang Weiping did not plan to continue to engage in copper smelting, but transformed into the production of new aluminum alloys. EDF has a history of more than 70 years in aluminium smelting, and is also well-known in the global smelting industry.
In addition, EDF also promised the shortest duration of the renovation project, which is another important indicator of Yang Weiping's choice to work with this company.
Before the acquisition of the smelter, Yang Weiping had a comprehensive plan for the next production project.
In view of the upcoming opening of the mainland Chinese market, Yang Weiping chose bicycles as the first major project to make money in China.
Taking those world-famous bicycle styles and design concepts in the 21st century can definitely form a huge shock wave on the major bicycle manufacturers in the world today, which is no less than the atomic bomb.
Even if the mainland of China adopts local protection policies, Yang Weiping is fully confident that he will share a big cake in Huaxia, the world's largest bicycle consumer market.
The design of the bicycle is simple, and the processing of parts is not complicated, the key is the material of large parts such as the frame and steel rim, which should not only pursue durability, but also light and safe.
Compared with the bicycles of this era, manganese steel and high manganese steel are mostly used, and the advantages of the new aluminum alloy and titanium alloy selected by Yang Weiping are obvious. …,
As for the brand name, Yang Weiping did not hesitate to choose "Giant".
In addition to some technical exchanges and discussions with Pratt, the project engineer of EDF, the rest of the time is spent in the laboratory to carry out material ratio experiments of new aluminum alloys and titanium alloys.
As a professional in materials, Yang Weiping is well aware of the research and development direction and process of new aluminum alloys in various countries in the world.
Since the Americans successfully developed the first generation of aluminum-lithium alloy 2020 alloy in 1957, developed countries such as the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, France, and Japan have developed second-generation aluminum-lithium alloys with different proportions on the basis of the first generation of aluminum-lithium alloys. The most famous of these are the Soviet 1040 alloy, the American 2090, the British 8090 and 8091, the French 2091.
The second-generation aluminum-lithium alloy has low density and high elastic modulus, and is widely used in many industries, among which the 1040 alloy of the Soviet Union is the most mature aluminum-lithium alloy recognized by all countries in the world.
In terms of time, the Soviet Union's 1040 alloy should still be in experiments, and there is no mature mass production process.
If Yang Weiping now makes 1040 aluminum-lithium alloy, it will definitely attract the attention of the Soviet intelligence organs.
Although the KGB is famous all over the world, Yang Weiping is not afraid of them. Besides, Hong Kong is within the reach of the British, and Lao Maozi has to be more leisurely if he wants to come to Hong Kong to show off his might.
After repeated consideration, Yang Weiping decided to snatch Lao Maozi's patent. At that time, this technology patent can be used as an opportunity to connect with the Soviet Maozi.
The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 was a world-class super cake! As a reborn, if Yang Weiping was taken the lead by the Vantaa plan made by the Americans, then he could find a piece of tofu and kill him.
In the Soviet layout, it was necessary to start now.
Although Sino-Soviet relations are now relatively tense, Soviet Union Mao Zi is now brazenly and openly supporting Vietnam's anti-Chinese movement, which led to the outbreak of the 1979 self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam.
However, Yang Weiping, with the identity of a British-Chinese who he bought at a large price, had a relatively large feasibility of contacting the Soviets.
In the future, after the war against Vietnam began, Yang Weiping has now regarded the advanced equipment built by the Soviet Union in Vietnam as a thing in his pocket, and he will have to go to Vietnam to scrape a layer of land after the Chinese army enters Hanoi.
