Three days later.

Red Star Iron and Steel Plant.

Yang Xiaotao was wearing a hard hat, soaked in sweat, but his eyes were staring at the converter in front of him.

"Mr. Yang, this is what we built according to the design plan given by the institute!"

Guan Zhiyong also wiped his sweat and kept explaining the machine in front of him.

An Zhongsheng nodded beside him, sweat fell down his cheeks to his chin, and when he shook his hand, there was a piece of water on the ground.

And here, it can only be regarded as the second line, but it is already so hot, you can imagine how hard the workers in the front line are.

"How's the production now?"

"Now it is a preliminary production, which can produce about half a ton a day, and when the workers are proficient, add some equipment, and it is not a problem to produce one ton per day."

An Zhongsheng calculated the answer, but Yang Xiaotao was not satisfied with it.

"It's still too little."

"I'll do the math for you, now if nothing else, the production of air conditioners in the machinery factory needs aluminum alloy as a frame, and in addition, aluminum alloy will also be used in new rice cookers."

"It's important to us."

"With this ton of output, there are less than 1,000 catties that can be left for the machinery factory, what's the use of this?"

"At least quadruple production, follow this goal!"

Yang Xiaotao gave the minimum value, and several people looked solemn.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao explained, "Now we are the only factory that produces aluminum alloy in China. ”

"Nowadays, all walks of life need aluminum alloy, and in the past two days, not to mention the rest, the calls from our department have not stopped."

"What's more, there are other departments, including some special departments, and we can't refuse."

Everyone looked at each other, they also knew about the situation of aluminum alloys in China, but they didn't expect it to be so urgent.

"Mr. Yang, if you want to expand production, you must first solve the problem of raw materials."

An Zhongsheng began to pose questions, which is also because he and Yang Xiaotao have worked together for a long time to understand each other's temperament.

If there is a difficulty, it is said that it is difficult, and when the difficulty is solved, the task must be completed.

"Also, there is a lack of professionals in each process, and now the people in the institute are doing two jobs, and there are always mistakes in this regard."

"Yes, there is also this environment, six people suffered from heat stroke the day before yesterday, but fortunately, it was found in time and there was no safety accident. We are now three liners, and the efficiency naturally cannot be improved. ”

Li Lei, Li Junming and others also talked on the side.

Yang Xiaotao walked to the side to the shade, the air was still scorching, but it was no longer the scorching just now.

"What's going on with the raw materials, isn't it the place of origin?"

Guan Zhiyong took out a cigarette and several people lit it.

"Mr. Yang, now the raw materials we receive are all alumina, and we have to obtain Lu before we can use this thing."

"It's one more process, and it's inefficient..."

"Alumina?"

Yang Xiaotao frowned, he had told the First Machine Department to ask for raw materials, but he didn't expect this to happen.

The aluminum alloy process he obtained was made of aluminum, but there was no pre-treatment.

"What to do with alumina?"

An Zhongsheng stepped forward, "The current general international method is to use electricity, use two electrodes of direct current, smelt electrolytic alumina, and then obtain aluminum. ”

"This is the only way to do it unless you use pure bauxite."

"Where's the bauxite?"

"Now it's Gong County's!"

"Then it's more!"

Guan Zhiyong heard this and coughed, "Mr. Yang, now this bauxite mineral belongs to the metallurgical management!" ”

Yang Xiaotao was silent when he heard this.

There are some things he doesn't know much, but it can be seen from the establishment of the United Star Research Institute that Huang Lao of the First Machine Department obviously wants to start anew.

And in fact, it is also the case, not only Huang Lao, but also the Second Machine Department also has a separate smelter.

After all, metallurgy has been broken after the last boiler explosion accident.

If the state does not have strong support, it will take a few years to recover.

Even so, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that this is the last belongings on the hand of the alloy, and it must be pinched in his hand!

"I'll coordinate this matter later!"

"If you really can't do it, just think of a way to get electrolytic aluminum!"

Guan Zhiyong nodded.

"Tell me about the personnel, do you have any ideas?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at a few people, and finally fixed his eyes on An Zhongsheng.

After all, he is also a person who has mixed in the metallurgical steelmaking circle.

"That, Mr. Yang, there must be a lot of talents over there."

"Over the years, most of the metallurgical college students have been assigned there after graduation."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes, "Of course I know, but, don't you know that your peers are enemies?" What's more, it's still digging into the corners of people's walls? ”

An Zhongsheng smiled stupidly, "This is the best way, the rest can only be cultivated by yourself!" ”

Yang Xiaotao didn't speak again.

It takes time to cultivate talents.

What they lack is time.

As soon as the topic changed, everyone saw the hot work site, and if they wanted to solve environmental problems, they had to work hard in the machinery factory!

Yang Xiaotao paid attention to Liu Wei, who came over with him.

Everyone looked thin and tall, with a little smirk on their faces.

"Director Liu, let's talk about it!"

Liu Wei put away his smile and took a step forward.

Since the news came out that the fifth workshop was going to be formed, the deputy directors of the workshop had their eyes wide open, staring at this piece of fat.

In the past, when the workshops were not merged, eleven workshops and eleven workshop directors.

Everyone is at the same level, and there is nothing to compare.

At most, it is a workshop that is excellent, and the workshop director has a little light on his face.

But now, the workshop has become four, and the gap between good and bad performance is suddenly reflected.

The workshop director who performed well became the positive, the general one became the deputy, and the bad one didn't even have the director properly, so he could only keep the iron rice bowl of the workers and go to the workshop to pick a sledgehammer.

Didn't you keep picking up the hammer when you didn't see Guo Daqiao?

Therefore, after the merger of the workshop, several directors did not dare to be as foolish as before, especially the machinery factory is getting better and better, everyone knows the truth that the tide is rising, and there is no reason not to fight.

He was outstanding in the workshop, which only entered Yang Xiaotao's eyes, and when he selected people, he was re-promoted to the director of the workshop.

Presided over the production of air conditioners.

For him, this emerging industry is both a challenge and an opportunity.

It is Yang Xiaotao's trust in him!

And he has also followed Yang Xiaotao behind him to understand the work in the past two days, so it can be said that Yang Xiaotao is not only his superior, but also his leader.

It doesn't matter about age, simple attainment comes first.

"Hello comrades."

Liu Wei stabilized his mind, after all, he was a director and had seen big scenes, so he quickly entered the role.

"Before coming, Mr. Yang had considered the production environment of the steel plant, and the newly established air-conditioning workshop of our machinery factory was here to solve the problem!"

"According to Mr. Yang's requirements, we will install large-scale air conditioners in special areas, and at the same time, water cooling devices will be established in other areas..."

Liu Wei said what he had discussed with Yang Xiaotao before, and Guan Zhiyong and the others present nodded with satisfaction.

They tried air conditioning on machine shop trucks, and it worked really well.

If you move here, you can do it.

Leaving Liu Wei and Guan Zhiyong to discuss the installation of air conditioning, Yang Xiaotao took Lou Xiao'e to leave the steel plant and rush back to the machinery factory.

"Xiao Tao!"

Back in the office, Yang Xiaotao had just drunk two jars of boiled water when he saw Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning walking in together.

"Lao Liu, Lao Yang!"

The two sat down and asked about the steel mill.

Regarding the production of aluminum alloy, Yang Xiaotao briefly elaborated, and the two of them were helpless about the problem of raw materials, so they could only report the situation to the first machine department, which gave Huang Lao a headache.

Of course, there is no bottom on whether they can be solved, and electrolytic aluminum still has to be carried out.

Prepare with both hands.

However, electricity consumption in steel mills is also a problem.

At present, there are not many domestic generators, and most of them are used in industry.

The two talked for a while, and then got to the point.

On the issue of job adjustments.

After this period of discussion, personnel adjustment and task arrangement, now the adjustment of the machinery factory is also finalized!

"The meeting will be tomorrow, what else do you have to add here?"

Yang Youning looked at the documents on the table, remembering the general contents, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"Everything else is fine. But for security work, I need to confirm with the Liang team. ”

"Especially over there at the second branch."

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning glanced at each other, and it was obvious that Yang Xiaotao attached great importance to the second factory.

Yang Xiaotao saw that the two were suspicious and did not say it explicitly.

The old man's explanation when he left last time was actually to let him use his "authority" to keep some people when necessary.

Not to mention how to keep it, at least stay away from the whirlpool.

Only in this way can it be taken care of.

Therefore, the second factory side is very important.

"Okay, you and Team Liang can make up their own minds, here, we fully support."

Liu Huaimin said a word, and left with Yang Youning, Yang Xiaotao sat for a while, and then said to Lou Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, you go to the second workshop to see the improvement of machine tools!" ”

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then understood, nodded in response, and then left the office and closed the door.

Yang Xiaotao lit a cigarette and looked at the time, eleven o'clock in the morning.

Northwest No. 2 Plant.

Everyone started the busy day.

The sun has not yet risen, and the temperature has climbed to unpleasant levels.

However, for those who are used to this kind of weather, this is not a big deal.

"Lao Wang, what are you going to eat at noon today?"

Among the walking workers, Yan Jiefang shouted at the cupboard Lao Wang who was pushing the cart out to purchase.

Several people in the same group around were shouting lively, only dragging in the bangs behind them, looking reluctant to wake up.

Coming here, the size of the bangs that was originally comparable to Jia Zhang's shrank rapidly, especially when he ate less and was much better, and when he got older, he couldn't hold on.

Now, he has been reduced to a second-rate in the group.

If it weren't for the ability of the seventh-level blacksmith, with his enthusiasm, he would have gone to the side to reclaim the wasteland!

This is also the decision of the director of the factory after the arrival of the factory, the family members of the factory gathered to reclaim the wasteland, although the land here is not fertile, but the director Hong got the salt-alkali resistant corn is growing well, relieving the pressure on food.

"Yan Jiefang, you guy, you are in a hurry!"

Lao Wang sat in the carriage, holding a cigarette bag and pot in his hand, and smiled when he saw Yan Jiefang.

This young man, sociable, able to speak, the key is also a kind of willing to work, many people in the northwest ask people to talk about relationships, and want to marry their daughters.

I heard that I lived in the same courtyard with the bigwigs of the machinery factory, and I said that I would return to Sijiu City in a few years.

When the time comes...

"Pork stew with potatoes! Bought meat! ”

Lao Wang shouted, and the surrounding workers immediately boiled.

Because, there is pork to eat at noon!

Since the arrival of Director Hong, the welfare of the machinery factory is not less here, although the transportation is inconvenient, but the money ticket is sufficient.

Coupled with the tractors, tricycles and engines produced by the second branch, it is already a leading enterprise in the northwest.

Now, those who want to come in and become workers are crowded.

Even the steel mill and chemical plant that had just been merged were also very popular with a lot of people.

If it weren't for Director Hong's strict control, the personnel of the second branch would have at least doubled.

"If you don't say it, our Director Hong has the ability!"

A few people walked towards the factory with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Building a revolution starts with me!"

Yan Jiefang shouted, and there was a high-spirited fighting spirit behind him.

At the moment, in the office.

Director Hong sat alone in front of a chair with a phone in his hand.

"Is it that serious?"

On the other end of the phone, Yang Xiaotao snorted.

"I don't know if I'm in Sijiu City, but now when I come home from work, from elementary school, there are still those junior high school students..."

The more he listened, the tighter Director Hong's brows became, his fingers grabbed the pencil on the table, and his knuckles were a little white.

"Lao Hong, the chief's original words are like this."

"Right now, you're there, it's the last way out."

"The one I can trust is you!"

Yang Xiaotao's voice was low but full of affirmation.

For a while, Director Hong was moved by trust.

Thinking back to what happened to him, he didn't meet Yang Xiaotao, perhaps, he is still herding cattle and donkeys in a certain village.

"Mr. Yang, don't worry, here, I'll show you!"

Hearing Director Hong's assurance, Yang Xiaotao on the other end of the phone laughed, and then the two hung up the phone.
