Chapter 6 Cohesion
The imagination is beautiful, and the reality is skinny.
It is almost impossible to start from the dictionary and give two powerful foreign names to a water game machine without knowing two foreign languages, Japanese and English.
Yu Sheng thought about it, since you can't come up with a flashy name, then look for a few words related to the water game machine and come up with a simple and easy-to-understand name.
"Water" and "game", the rest of my life finally locked these two words in the English-Chinese dictionary. The two words are joined together, and it is the English name of the water power game machine.
The name is simple and crude, and if you look at the English name, you will know that the water game machine is a water-related game machine.
As for the Japanese name, yes.
For the rest of his life, he once heard his father tell such a story, since Japan was forced to open its doors to the country after the Black Ship Incident in 1853, it began to have an indescribable admiration for Western civilization. Even the uniforms of the schoolgirls were modeled after the costumes of American sailors. Culturally, foreign words have also begun to be used extensively in Japanese.
Foreign words quoted earlier are also translated into Chinese characters and phonetically annotated. However, as more and more foreign languages were introduced, this inefficient means of translation was abandoned. In the end, it was changed to a foreign vocabulary and directly used katakana phonetics.
In this way, the name of the water game machine is not just a direct translation of the English words "water, game" into katakana.
Yu Sheng looked up the Japanese dictionary for a while and got the Japanese translation done.
Looking at the English and Japanese translations I translated, I felt a sense of accomplishment and admired the lines of the English alphabet and Japanese kana for a while. His eyelids began to heavily, and he lay down and fell asleep.
While Yu Sheng was sleeping, Yu Tiecheng was discussing production issues with workers in the factory. At first, the questions he asked seemed a little ridiculous, but with constant corrections, the questions he asked gradually began to become more reliable.
The words of his wife Li Zizhen this morning made Yu Tiecheng have an epiphany. Instead of sulking alone, it is better to use this sulking kung fu on the workers.
How to listen and how to ask questions are all knowledge, and it is precisely these two disciplines that Yu Tiecheng just learned, and when he practices it at this moment, the effect is also significant.
For most of the day, after visiting a small half of the workers in the workshop, Yu Tiecheng found out what the problem in the factory was.
No, there are no orders, but people's hearts are scattered.
The old factory manager died unexpectedly due to a sudden illness, and he parachuted into the factory, if he was actively involved in production at that time, maybe it would be nothing.
However, due to his own inaction, as well as some rumors from the brother factory next door, and some orders were snatched away by the brother factory. It is inevitable that the idle workers will not start to think too much.
Thinking about it, I feel that there is no future for a soldier who does not understand production. Those who can transfer the relationship to the factory will transfer the factory to the factory, and those who can't transfer see no hope, and they will be let go. In addition, if there is no order, if you are idle, you will be idle, so you will do private work.
Anyway, the materials in the factory are not money, and some "scrap" can be used to process things that can be exchanged for money, except for some effort, almost zero input, but with good output, why not do it.
Yu Tiecheng analyzed this and launched self-criticism.
The predicament faced by Qingtai Machinery No. 3 Factory today is inseparable from itself. If you want the three factories to get out of the predicament, you naturally need to start from yourself in order to solve the problem.
Taking advantage of the break, Yu Tiecheng stood on top of a table and shouted loudly at the workers below, "Comrades, please listen to me......
The workers, including Liu Changjiang and Chen Jinnan, all looked in the direction of Yu Tiecheng's shouting.
"I know that not only is there a problem in the factory now, but everyone is facing difficulties now, and the children who have gone to the mountains and the countryside in the past few years have returned. There are no jobs and most of them are unemployed at home. If there is no work, there is no food, and everyone uses 'waste' to do some work in private, and as a factory director and father, I can understand. ”
Yu Tiecheng first revealed the matter of doing private work, and then continued, "Comrades all know that the provincial trade fair will be held in a few days. Our factory also has a quota for exhibitors. Master Zhang and Master Zhao in our factory have been preparing for the expo for several months.
Comrades all know the importance of foreign exchange, our country has just been reformed and opened up, and everything is waiting to be done. If our factory's products can get foreign exchange orders. If nothing else, at least the matter of the children in the comrades' families taking over the post can be solved.
The children have jobs, and those of us who are parents are not at ease. It's really a bit chaotic in society right now, and it's not a good thing to have a job.
To be able to get foreign exchange orders, not only the children have jobs, but also our factories have jobs. Whether you can evaluate the advanced, whether you can increase your salary or not, at least when you celebrate the New Year, you can also have meat to eat, and you can live a better life, right? ”
The workers below began to whisper, and the time when honor was very important was different from a few decades ago. Times are changing, and today's workers are more concerned about whether the children in the family can have jobs, and if they have a job, they will have the opportunity to share a house, and if they have a chance to share a house, it means that they can marry a wife and have children.
What I still care about is food and clothing, it is best to increase wages, but if you can't increase wages, it's not good to pay some benefits.
"Director, what if I can't get a foreign exchange order?"
A worker raised his hand and asked.
Before Yu Tiecheng could speak, the worker who asked the question was glared at angrily by the workers around him. Fortunately, he is a famous brainless man in the factory, and no one blames him.
In the eyes of the workers, Yu Tiecheng dared to say this in front of so many workers, which means that he has a firm grasp of the foreign exchange order.
In the eighties, being a soldier, even as a demobilized soldier, was respected. Although it is always said in private that the new factory director does not know how to engage in production, no one speaks ill of the soldiers.
Yu Tiecheng has never commanded indiscriminately and let go of his mouth, so this time he still has the credibility to speak publicly.
Even in the worst-case scenario, it is just that the foreign exchange order is not obtained, and it has not changed for a single qiē. Everyone is not stupid, since there are benefits to success, and failure will not get worse, why oppose it.
"We have to believe in ourselves and we will definitely get foreign exchange orders. Are there any more comrades who have questions? Yu Tiecheng asked.
His gaze swept over the workers below, some of them looked at him, some avoided his gaze, looked around, and no one asked.
"So be it, all of them, adjourn!"
Qingtai Machinery No. 3 Factory has begun to gather initial cohesion.
