Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Secretary Wang and Director Zhang came to the testing room and saw the steel plate that He Yuzhu mentioned. Secretary Wang asked with some concern, "Chief Wu, are you sure that the performance of this steel plate reaches that of Q355 steel?"

"Secretary Wang, I assure you that the performance of this steel plate absolutely reaches that of Q355 steel."

"Are there any problems with the testing instruments and equipment?" Secretary Wang asked hurriedly, thinking of something.

"Secretary Wang, these equipments were all received last year. There are absolutely no problems and they can all be used normally." Wu Degui explained patiently.

It was only then that Secretary Wang believed that the truck repair shop had really produced Q355 steel. Secretary Wang smiled and said to He Yuzhu: "Xiao He, you set off a big firecracker without making any noise. It's true that heroes emerge from youth."

"Secretary Wang, you are too kind. The truck repair workshop can only produce Q355 steel with the support of you and Director Zhang. Without your support, we would not be able to do the experiment with peace of mind. Of course, we also need the help of teachers and students from Sijiucheng University of Technology. Without their technical assistance, we would not be able to produce it."

"By the way, the teacher at Sijiucheng University of Technology seems to be surnamed Li, right? Is he here?" Secretary Wang said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, Secretary Wang, the teacher leading the team from Sijiucheng University of Technology is surnamed Li. He was the one who guided the workers throughout the entire process of refining the product, and Teacher Li also participated in the testing." After saying this, He Yuzhu called Li Yang from the crowd to his side, "Secretary Wang, this is Teacher Li Yang."

"Hello, Mr. Li. On behalf of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, I would like to express my gratitude to you for bringing students to our mill for technical support." Secretary Wang enthusiastically took Li Yang's hand and said, "Mr. Li, how did you produce Q355 steel?"

"Hello, Secretary Wang. We were able to produce Q355 steel thanks to the advice of Team Leader He. If it weren't for Team Leader He's suggestion that we add different proportions of manganese in the steelmaking experiment, we wouldn't have been able to produce Q355 steel so quickly."

"Team Leader He, who is the Team Leader He you are talking about?" Secretary Wang asked curiously.

"Team Leader He is talking about Comrade He Yuzhu. We came to your factory to support the Dodge truck localization imitation team, and Comrade He Yuzhu is the team leader."

"Oh, I see." Secretary Wang said with sudden enlightenment, and then turned to He Yuzhu and asked, "Xiao He, how did you come up with the idea of ​​adding manganese metal to steel?"

"Secretary Wang, I also read about this in a book occasionally. The book said that adding manganese to steel can increase its strength. So I gave Teacher Li some suggestions. After repeated experiments, they adjusted the proportions little by little and finally produced Q355 steel."

"Director Zhang, why don't we hold a meeting to discuss how to report this to our superiors? After all, refining Q355 steel is not a trivial matter. It seems that our country currently does not have the ability to produce this kind of steel. Our factory can be regarded as filling the gap in this area of ​​the country."

"Okay, Secretary Wang, let's go to the conference room to discuss this. But I suggest that it's better to arrange for someone to refine some, so that we can have physical samples when we report to the department. Xiao He, you can arrange for the workers to refine some later."

"Okay, Director Zhang, I'll arrange it right away."

After a meeting between Secretary Wang, Director Zhang and two deputy directors, they decided how to report to the higher authorities. When the news that the Red Star Steel Mill had produced Q355 steel was reported to the Ministry, the Ministry immediately sent a team of experts to the Red Star Steel Mill for testing.

Just when Secretary Wang and other factory leaders were in a meeting, He Yuzhu picked up the phone and called the office of Li Ze's secretary Lei Xiaojun.

"Hello, I'm Lei Xiaojun, the secretary of Deputy Minister Li Ze. Who are you?"

"Secretary Lei, I'm He Yuzhu. I have good news for Vice Minister Li. Our factory has produced Q355 steel. Please tell Vice Minister Li."

"Really? Congratulations to your factory. Director He, please don't hang up the phone yet. Wait a moment. I'll go over and tell Vice Minister Li. You can tell him in person later."

Lei Xiaojun came to the door of Li Ze's office and knocked on the door a few times. "Knock, knock, knock..."

"Come in."

"Deputy Minister Li, He Yuzhu from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill just called my office and said that their factory has produced Q355 steel. He's still on the phone. Why don't you ask him in person for the details?"

"Really? I didn't expect that Xiao He's factory would make such big news. Secretary Lei, you go and do your work. I will personally ask Xiao He about the situation." After saying that, Li Ze picked up the phone on the table, and Lei Xiaojun quietly walked out of Li Ze's office.

"Hello, is this Xiao He? I'm Li Ze."

"Hello, Vice Minister Li, I am He Yuzhu."

"Xiao He, I just heard from Secretary Lei that your steel mill has produced Q355 steel. What is the specific situation?" Deputy Minister Li asked seriously. He was very surprised by the news. After all, the steel mill had never produced such high-strength steel before, and it couldn't even produce ordinary iron. All the steel in the steel mill was transferred from other factories.

He Yuzhu quickly replied: "Yes, Deputy Minister Li, hasn't the truck repair workshop in our factory's logistics department been imitating Dodge trucks? Because the steel produced by our factory cannot meet the requirements of truck frames, we tried to produce higher strength steel ourselves. After almost a year of trial and error, we finally produced steel with performance reaching Q355." There was a hint of excitement and pride in his voice.

Deputy Minister Li nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but he continued to ask: "Xiao He, how did you determine that the steel you produced is Q355 steel?" He knew very well that for such an important matter, there must be solid evidence to prove it.

He Yuzhu answered confidently: "Deputy Minister Li, we were not sure at first. It was only after testing with the equipment of our factory's technical department that we determined that the performance of the steel we produced reached the standard of Q355 steel. Because we were worried that the results of one test would be inaccurate, our factory's technical department specially conducted two tests to determine that the performance of the steel we produced reached the standard of Q355 steel."

Hearing this, Vice Minister Li showed a satisfied smile on his face. He patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "Xiao He, you did a good job! Your steel mill really made us proud this time. However, this is just the beginning. We still have to work hard to take our country's steel industry to a higher level!"

Hearing this, Li Ze finally felt relieved. He smiled happily and said, "Xiao He, your factory is amazing! The successful development of Q355 steel has solved a big problem for the country! The Ministry of Metallurgical Industry will definitely praise your factory. Maybe your factory will no longer be an ordinary steel rolling mill, but may be upgraded to a steel mill!"

He Yuzhu replied excitedly: "It would be great if it could really become a steel plant! This is the dream of all of us in the factory!"

Li Ze nodded and continued, "I think it's very likely. Although Sijiu City already has a steel plant, the country is now in a stage of vigorous development and construction, and the demand for steel is still very large. Moreover, the steel plant in Jingshan area west of Sijiu City can only produce iron at present, and it does not have the ability to make steel. Therefore, if your factory builds a steelmaking workshop, there is still hope. Especially if your factory has developed high-quality steel such as Q355, if it can be mass-produced, then our country will no longer need to spend a lot of precious foreign exchange to import foreign steel in the future! Xiao He, I feel more and more that you are really a talent. You said how many surprises you have brought me since we met again."

"Deputy Minister Li, you speak too highly of me. At best, I organized the workers to do something meaningful for the country. The real credit goes to the workers on the front line of production. If it were not for their hard work, my ideas would never have been realized." He Yuzhu said modestly.

"Okay, I know you are modest, Xiao He, so don't be modest anymore. I have seen all your achievements. For a large factory, it needs a leader like you who dares to think and act. It's a pity that you are too young, otherwise I would have recommended you to the organization as deputy director, so that you can make the best use of your talents." Li Ze said with emotion. His eyes showed his appreciation and regret for He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and continued to answer: "Deputy Minister Li, please don't say that. I feel that my current position is very good. Although the position is not high, I can also use my talents in this position and make contributions to the factory. Moreover, young people need more experience and accumulation to grow and develop better."

Li Ze nodded and looked at He Yuzhu approvingly: "Xiao He, you are right. Young people do need time to settle down and grow. But with your ability and potential, you will definitely achieve greater things in the future. I hope you can maintain this ambition and sense of responsibility and continue to work hard to improve yourself."

He Yuzhu said firmly: "Deputy Minister Li, I will work hard and strive to make greater contributions to the construction of the factory. Only in this way can I live up to your expectations of me."

"It's not that you've let down my expectations, but the expectations of the organization and the country. Okay, Xiao He, I understand the situation with your factory's steel, so I won't talk to you about it for now." After saying that, Li Ze hung up the phone. Since Li Ze and He Yuzhu met again, in less than three years, He Yuzhu has given him a big surprise every year. If that's the case, then He Yuzhu will definitely give him another big surprise next year. Thinking of this, Li Ze began to look forward to what kind of surprise He Yuzhu will bring him next year.
