Chapter 109: Industrial Bottlenecks

On the second day of the military meeting, Li Ming came to the Ethnic Affairs Committee, and he first went to Wang He's office and found that Guo Song and Hu Wei were there. When they saw Li Ming, they all greeted Li Ming warmly and greeted each other for a long time.

Guo Song joked: "Li Ming, if you have nothing to do, come to the Ethnic Affairs Committee to have a look, don't just show up for a few months." ”

Wang Heye next to him laughed and said: "Now the Military Commission does not have any military tasks, and he will work on our side of the Ethnic Committee before winter." Let's tell him about the situation on the side of the Nationalities Committee, so that he can understand it. ”

Hu Wei nodded and said, "I'll talk about it first." The company's work has been in full swing, and the Vladivostok Development Zone has been carrying out various infrastructure projects in the development zone in accordance with the previous plan, and most of the infrastructure projects in the plant area can be completed before winter.

As the top priority of our work this year, the open-pit coal mine in the north of Vladivostok has been explored, and although the facilities are still being assembled, more than a dozen mining machines and six KAMAZ dump trucks have entered the site to work, and a batch of raw coal can be transported to Vladivostok every day, which can temporarily meet the current use of Vladivostok.

The railway department is also working day and night intensively, and it is estimated that the railway will be laid there next year, and by that time, the open-pit coal mine will be enough to ensure the coal consumption of the 50MW thermal power unit in the first phase of our thermal power plant for one year.

The forest farm in the north is also under intense construction, and so far some logs have been processed and transported to Vladivostok every day. As for the various factories in the Vladivostok Development Zone, although they can do a good job in various infrastructure work this year, they may not be able to start production next year. Now we are facing the dilemma, that is, there is no shortage of equipment, and the raw materials brought from modern society can be temporarily guaranteed, but there are not enough industrial workers. ”

Guo Song also sighed and said: "Yes, now that our industrial development has reached a bottleneck, just a large number of skilled industrial workers cannot be cultivated overnight. Fortunately, we have brought back more than 2,000 craftsmen from this trip to Japan, plus more than 5,000 apprentices of our own, who are being trained in our technical school, and hopefully they will be able to go to work at the beginning of next spring. This winter, we will also carry out literacy education for the Liao people, and try to find some Liao people with good qualifications and let them enter the staff technical school. ”

Li Ming listened to their words, and his face became solemn. He glanced at everyone and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we still recruit too few talents in modern society, and we should have recruited more people if we knew it, especially skilled industrial workers." ”

Wang He shook his head and said: "More than 2,000 employees is already the limit, and skilled industrial workers are actually the most difficult to find." Their income is stable, their families are relatively harmonious, and few people leave their hometowns for that double salary, let alone go to the Ming Dynasty with us.

And the personnel we allocate for each department are also very reasonable. At least there are barely enough expert technicians and skilled workers. But to make an enterprise work, it needs a large number of industrial workers. In particular, almost all of our equipment is relatively backward, and the automation process is very low, so the labor cost is higher.

We have studied and said that next year we will mainly focus our energies on mechanical processing plants, military factories, foundries, and thermal power plants, and other enterprises will put aside for the first time and concentrate on fighting a war of annihilation to ensure that these units can partially start operations. At present, the staff technical schools are also training industrial workers for these units.

Open-pit coal mines, forest farms, ports, storage centers, open-pit coal mines, forest farms, and brick factories are better. Many of the work requirements in these units are not very high, they can easily find apprentices from the Liaomin, and many apprentices have officially embarked on their jobs after more than two months of internship, and it is estimated that they will be able to operate normally next year. ”

Li Ming also smiled bitterly, basic industry is not so fun, and technology and equipment alone are far from enough. The indigenous and modern people of this era are completely different things, and in modern society, if you find some migrant workers, you can almost get on the job after a few months of training. But in this era, it is a difficult task to eradicate illiteracy for them.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Then I'll go to each unit to inspect first, and try my best to familiarize myself with the work of each department." I went to the open-pit coal mine first, and it happened that there was construction, so I went there at the first stop. ”

Li Ming and Wang separated from them, left the Ethnic Affairs Committee, rode their mountain bikes, and went to the storage area. It's a hot scene everywhere, with trucks full of supplies waiting outside the storage area in a long queue.

The inside of the reservoir area is even more busy, from time to time there are a few KAMAZ trucks that have unloaded the materials drive out, and then there are a few trucks waiting outside roaring into the reservoir area, and more than 1,000 Liao people are busy in various tall warehouses.

Next to the storage area is the simple wagon marshalling yard, where most of the tracks are still full of wagons after all this time, and the front of a steam locomotive is full of smoke...... The ......" drove to the outermost rail, hung up a train of wagons that had just been unloaded, and then roared out of the marshalling yard.

With the help of the staff of the railway department, the head of the steam locomotive drove into the marshalling yard through the guò turnout, and then hung a train of dozens of wagons and slowly drove out, and when the staff of the railway department adjusted the turnout, the steam locomotive turned backwards and pushed the body full of goods to the outermost track.

As soon as the wagons of the train came to a stop, more than 1,000 Liao people waiting on the loading and unloading platform next to them surrounded them with a "hula", and with the help of a large number of forklifts and cranes, the materials on the wagons were unloaded and loaded on a Kamaz wagon that had been waiting on the side.

Li Ming looked at the thousands of wagons on the marshalling station, smiled wryly and shook his head, these wagons are enough for them to unload for a while, and it would be good to be able to unload them before winter. He rode his mountain bike to the nearby coal storage yard. In fact, it is a piece of land that has been specially leveled. The coal transported here has been piled up into several hills.

He put the car down next to the simple assembly house next to it, which is the office of the storage center. Li Ming took advantage of the fact that the coal truck had not yet arrived, so he came here to take a look, and the work of the storage center has been very busy recently, since the company entered Vladivostok, the storage center has not been idle.

There is only one person here now, and it is He Haobo, the director of the storage center. He was yelling there with the phone, and when he saw Li Ming coming, his chubby face was suddenly full of smiles, he pointed to the chair next to him, pointed to the phone, and then continued to shout.

After a while, He Haobo finally put down the phone and poured a glass of water for Li Ming with his own hands. Then he sat next to Li Ming and said with a smile: "My senior standing committee, why did you come to me today." It is a great honor for thousands of employees in our warehousing center to come to inspect...... I led the leaders to the reservoir area for a turn. ”

Li Ming smiled, this He Haobo is very cheerful, and his popularity in the company is very good, and he used to joke with Li Ming often. Li Ming took the cigarette handed over by the other party and said with a smile: "Director He, don't destroy me." I feel like a big bureaucrat. By the way, all the supplies shipped back from Japan are in storage. ”

He Haobo laughed and said: "Don't mention it, we have been busy for a few days and nights before we can put everything in Lisuo, and you can really row and get so many good things." We're also under a lot of pressure right now, and we just finished unloading the big guys at the dock some time ago. But there are still thousands of wagons waiting for us.

Don't look at the fact that there are a lot of us, but the equipment in the reservoir area is not comparable with modern society after all. And we are now responsible for the logistics work within the development zone, each department comes to pick up the goods at two ends in three days, and we must ensure the transportation of materials in various departments of the company, which involves a lot of our energy every day. You see, the entire warehouse is busy out there right now. I now work as a driver, operator, warehouse keeper, tally clerk and stevedore.

No way, who let me play a guarantee at the meeting of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, on the basis of ensuring the logistics work of various departments in the development zone, to ensure that before the winter, all the materials are put into storage, and now I see that this is still a little full. But I've already said this, and I can only take everyone to fight hard. ”

Li Ming smiled and said: "Slowly, now that department of the company is idle, aren't they all busy." By the way, how often does the coal truck in the open-pit coal mine come to visit, I am going to go to the open-pit coal mine today. ”

He Haobo shook his head and said: "This is not possible, now the foundation construction is going on there, and the site is still relatively small, so there are only six KAMAZ entering the site, they not only transport coal, but also transport some earthwork stripped off from the operation surface, and sometimes they can't come back a few times a day." ”

He thought for a moment, and then continued: "You go and apply for a jeep to drive, and it is only more than ten kilometers back and forth, how much fuel can be wasted." ”

Li Ming's face was blank, and he shook his head and said, "Big brother, don't hurt me." It doesn't cost much oil, but the impact is so bad that I can't start this. Now we use diesel fuel on the cutting edge. I really can't do it, I'd better ride it. ”

I chatted with He Haobo for a long time, but I still didn't wait for the coal truck to come back, and it is estimated that the coal truck must be transporting earthwork today, and it is not certain whether the coal can be transported or not. Li Ming didn't want to wait any longer, so he just rode a mountain bike, if he met a coal truck on the road. Li Ming said goodbye to He Haobo and rode a mountain bike to the open-pit coal mine north of Vladivostok. R1152
