Chapter 32: The New Arrival
Lao Shang lowered his voice and pretended to mysteriously tell Fang Hanmin that more than two years ago, in order to show that he was more responsible for his work than his predecessor, Lao Xue, who had not been in office for a long time, proposed to the factory leaders a work plan for a thorough investigation of the whole factory's process technology, which is related to the technical background of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, and from the perspective of management, this work is indeed very meaningful.
"In that case, it's been two or three years, why hasn't the work plan been completed yet?" Fang Hanmin felt strange.
"Yes, you made a work plan, but you will complete it! It turned out that Lao Xue's plans were all made for others, and he didn't want to do anything except be an official. ”
Perhaps he rarely confided in others, or was suppressed for a long time, Shang Zhiyuan simply put down the work at hand, not only described the hardships of this work to Fang Hanmin, but also expressed all kinds of unconcealment to Xue Xue, the elder of the technical section.
Fang Hanmin was accustomed to the intrigue in the workplace in his previous life, and it had been less than a day since he entered the technical department, not only was he not interested in these personal grievances, but he also had to stay out of the matter as much as possible, and strive to be an outsider forever.
"Isn't it just a thorough investigation? There is also a technical file as a guide, how hard can it be? Fang Hanmin didn't know why the other party saw this matter as particularly difficult.
"Don't underestimate this work, since it's a thorough investigation, you have to verify it item by item according to the technical files, right? There are so many operating units in the whole factory, and they are verified one by one, how much hard work does it take? ”
This is understood, the difficulty of the investigation is not to consult these technical files, but to go to the grassroots team to verify on the spot, the old businessman said very clearly, including Xue Section Chief, no one in the technical department wants to run errands at the grassroots level, they all like to sit in the office and enjoy leisure.
However, this kind of thing is really nothing to Fang Hanmin, go to the grassroots level to verify the situation, isn't it just to take the drawings to the various posts, take a look, and then check with the technical files, what is the hardship at all? Compared with the three shifts he once worked in the grassroots team, it is simply not worth mentioning! It's just that these pampered staff members are accustomed to the idleness of the office, and they feel uncomfortable when they go to the grassroots level a few more times.
Fang Hanmin didn't want to listen to the old businessman's endless nagging, he smiled at the other party, "Yes, this work is not easy, and the investigation and verification process is also very hard, but as soon as I reported for duty, Section Chief Xue arranged this errand for me, and I was a newcomer, and I couldn't shirk it, so I had to accept it head-on." ”
"Didn't Lao Xue obviously bully you, a newcomer? No one would accept this assignment if they were any other staff member of the Technical Section. In the past, he had arranged for Corey's men to do the work, but in the end, it was all gone. ”
"That's right, I'm new here, and I don't have the capital to worry about the leader, so I have no choice but to accept the task." Fang Hanmin didn't take the old businessman's words seriously, because he didn't want to entangle with those old employees.
"You're new here, and it's not bad for you to have a lot of eyes in the future."
Fang Hanmin smiled weirdly, "Thank you for the reminder!" I'll keep an eye out for it later. ”
It took a week for Fang Hanmin to have a preliminary understanding of the various process technologies of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory through technical files. After that, he changed into overalls, put on a hard hat, and took the drawings from the first operating unit of the first workshop, and checked each technical unit one by one.
When they arrived at the second workshop, most of the workers knew Fang Hanmin, and when they saw him walking around the workshop in a work suit, many people wondered, "Wasn't he transferred to the technical department?" Why did you go back to the workshop? ”
When the old colleagues of the acylation chemical section saw him, they couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hanmin, why did you come back to the workshop again?" Is there anything to do in the technical section? ”
Fang Hanmin had to explain: "The work I am responsible for in the technical department is related to the workshop, so I have been walking around the workshops of the whole factory during this time. ”
"You have long been clear about the second workshop, especially the acylation chemical section, the process technology is all done by you, do you still need to check it carefully?"
"Since I have done a thorough investigation, I should be meticulous, even if it is the work I do personally, I must check it clearly." As a PhD from the University of Oxford and the project director of RGP's Center for New Drug Discovery, Fang Hanmin's professionalism is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
It took a month to run through every process unit of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, and according to the first-hand information obtained from the investigation, Fang Hanmin wrote an investigation report of 20,000 or 30,000 words.
Fang Hanmin presented this report to Xue Xue, the elder of the technical section, "Section Chief Xue, the task you assigned to me last time has been completed, this is an investigation report prepared based on the investigation and mapping, please take a look." ”
With tens of thousands of words sprinkled and a number of charts, plus the attachments behind, it took Section Chief Xue a week to basically finish reading Fang Hanmin's investigation report.
In order to report to the factory, Section Chief Xue hurriedly sent the report to the chief engineer Lao Xia, "Mr. Xia, this is the process technology investigation report of the whole plant prepared by Fang Hanmin, you can take a look." ”
"How can you get him to do this?" Lao Xia was surprised.
"On the day he reported to the technical department, I asked casually, but I didn't expect him to agree, and I couldn't dampen his enthusiasm, so I could only give him the task."
"He's only been in the technical department for two months, right? It's done so quickly, it's efficient enough, and what is the quality of the finish? ”
"Just look at the report."
It took Lao Xia almost a week to finish reading the report, and the elder Xue of the technical department happened to come to him, "Mr. Xia, have you finished reading the report?" What do you think? ”
"Didn't you read it too, tell me what you think first."
To be honest, a survey report, not to mention Fang Hanmin's doctoral dissertation at Oxford University and his dissertation published in the world's top academic journals such as Nature and Science, is even a grade different in difficulty than his undergraduate thesis, so Fang Hanmin encountered almost no difficulties in writing the report.
Measured by the level of Mr. Xia and Section Chief Xue, the quality of the investigation report written by Fang Hanmin is quite high, but they are unwilling to take the lead in expressing their opinions, perhaps because the report is from the hands of Fang Hanmin, such a fledgling young man with neither education nor qualifications can complete the work that no one has been willing to do in the past few years in two months, and also wrote a high-level investigation report, so that Lao Xue and Lao Xia, such old qualified technical experts, how can they be embarrassed?
But Lao Xia is still a pragmatic person in nature, seeing that Lao Xue is deeply hidden, he pointed at the investigation report in front of him with his hand, "I don't know what you think, my evaluation of this report is: comprehensive and accurate, unique insights, novel views, worthy of attention." ”
Seeing that Mr. Xia made a factual evaluation of the report, Lao Xue nodded in agreement, "I also think so, to be honest, after reading the report, I think that even in the entire Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, there are few reports written by engineers that can reach this level." ”
"Well, this Fang Hanmin, we really underestimated him before!"
"But Mr. Xia, I think some of the suggestions and insights put forward in the report are a bit of a castle in the air, and they are not realistic at all. If that's the case, this young man is not easy! Lao Xue said meaningfully.
Lao Xia knew what Section Chief Xue was worried about, and he shook his head, "Are you thinking about things too complicated?" ”
"Perhaps, but haven't you always been suspicious of him?"
"Yes, I have always had doubts about Fang Hanmin, but my focus is completely different from yours, I was not sure about the technical solutions he proposed before, and questioned whether his technical solutions were feasible. It seems that you also questioned some of the insights and recommendations he made in the investigation report, and to tell me the truth, do you doubt that he has any purpose? ”
In front of his boss, Lao Xue didn't want to hide his opinion, "That's right, I have concerns in this regard." ”
Lao Xia waved his hand, "In my judgment, he can't pose a threat to you, you are in your early fifties, he is only in his twenties, you are two generations at all, even if he grows up, you and I will have already retired!" ”
"I hope so. Mr. Xia, please take the time to hand over this report to Director Yuan. ”
"Director Yuan is in charge of everything, he is not in charge of technology, do you have time to read this kind of tirade?"
"I don't know if he had time to look at it, but when the technical department came up with the work plan, he specifically told us to tell him the results when we completed the task."
"Oh----, then I'll have to show him the report. But this is the work done by the technical department, and it is better for you to send it to him personally. ”
If this work was done by Lao Xue himself, he could have taken the opportunity to send a report to Director Yuan to discuss the technical problems of the whole plant with the factory director, and take this opportunity to shorten the distance with the leader, but Lao Xue did not contribute to this work, and Fang Hanmin did not fill in his name on the report, he thought that after reading this report, Director Yuan might have to criticize him, because many technical problems in the factory were discovered by Fang Hanmin, who had just been transferred to the technical department, and what has the technical department led by Lao Xue done over the years?
When Section Chief Xue presented the investigation report to Director Yuan, because he was afraid that the director would ask this and that, he simply explained a few words and left.
A few days later, Director Yuan recruited Chief Engineer Lao Xia and Technical Section Elder Xue to his office and handed him a stack of manuscript papers, "Mr. Xia, take a look at this report." ”
Lao Xia took it, "Isn't this the process technology survey report of the whole plant written by Fang Hanmin of the technical department?" I've seen it. ”
"Oh----, what do you think of the level?"
In the past, Lao Xia was indeed prejudiced against Fang Hanmin, but after he learned about Fang Hanmin's contribution to the whole factory, and knew that Lao Yuan was more serious about Fang Hanmin, especially after reading the investigation report written by Fang Hanmin, his opinion of Fang Hanmin had changed a lot, and Lao Xia even felt that he was ashamed of himself in many aspects, so in front of Director Yuan, he made a truthful evaluation of Fang Hanmin's report.
Section Chief Xue's worries were completely unnecessary, because Director Yuan did not criticize anyone in the technical department, but he spoke very highly of Fang Hanmin, "This young man has only been transferred to the technical department for more than two months, right?" Being able to complete the investigation in such a short period of time and write a high-level investigation report has never been seen in Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory before. ”
Xue Xue, the elder of the technical department, hurriedly agreed, "Yes, I have made a close observation and found that once Fang Hanmin is put into work, he can enter a state of selflessness, whether it is going to the grassroots team to verify on the spot, or flipping through technical files or writing investigation reports in the office, so that the working time can be fully and effectively utilized, which few employees can do." ”
