Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Because He Yuzhu was inspecting the work in the workshop, when Li Ze called, Fan Youxiang answered the call as instructed by He Yuzhu.

"Hello, I'm Fan Youxiang from Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Factory. Who are you looking for?" Fan Youxiang asked in a calm tone.

"I am Li Ze from the First Industrial Machinery Department. Can you help me contact He Yuzhu?" Li Ze said.

"Oh, it turns out that you are the leader of the First Industrial Machinery Department. Hello, you are looking for our Director He. Our director is in the workshop directing the work! Please wait a moment, I will go and call our Director He, and I will have our Director He call you back in a while." Fan Youxiang replied politely.

"Thank you for your help." After saying that, Li Ze hung up the phone.

After hearing the other party hang up the phone, Fan Youxiang couldn't help but wonder: Who is this Li Ze? From the tone of his voice, he seemed to be an important figure. But since the other party said that he was from the First Industrial Machinery Department, he must be no ordinary person. Thinking of this, Fan Youxiang didn't dare to neglect it. He immediately put down the work in his hands and hurried to a workshop.

When Fan Youxiang ran to the workshop out of breath, he finally found He Yuzhu. At this time, He Yuzhu was standing with teacher Li Yang, and they were seriously discussing with the workers how to improve the production efficiency of jeeps.

Seeing He Yuzhu, Fan Youxiang hurried forward and said to He Yuzhu, "Director He, a man named Li Ze called just now and said he wanted to talk to you."

When He Yuzhu heard Fan Youxiang say that it was Li Ze who called him, he quickly said to Teacher Li Yang: "Teacher Li, I'm going to make a phone call first. We can continue the conversation when I come back."

"Director He, just go ahead, we'll be waiting for you." Teacher Li Yang said nonchalantly.

After explaining to Teacher Li Yang, He Yuzhu immediately followed Fan Youxiang to the office and said as he walked, "Director Fan, Li Ze is the deputy director of the First Industrial Machinery Department. You must be careful when you receive his calls in the future. Your tone and attitude must be correct."

When Fan Youxiang heard what He Yuzhu said, he stopped and said with a shocked expression on his face: "What? The man who calls himself Li Ze is actually the deputy minister of the First Industrial Machinery Department!"

He Yuzhu saw Fan Youxiang's reaction and said with a smile: "Yes, Deputy Minister Li is a big shot. You have to be careful when you receive his calls in the future. By the way, Director Fan, how was your attitude when you answered Deputy Minister Li's call just now?"

Fan Youxiang nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Director He, I will definitely pay attention. I just received a call from Deputy Minister Li, and his attitude was very good. When Deputy Minister Li asked you where you were, I said you were in the workshop directing the work!"

"Okay, I know."

The two talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at the office. He Yuzhu picked up the phone and applied to call Li Ze's office. After a while, the call was connected, and He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Is this Vice Minister Li? I am He Yuzhu from the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant."

"Director He, hello. I'm Xiaojun, the secretary of Deputy Minister Li. Director He, please wait a moment. I'll go over and tell Deputy Minister Li that you have a call for him." He still had a smile on his face and said, "Then I'll trouble Secretary Lei."

The waiting time was not long, only about a minute, and a middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Xiao He? I'm Li Ze."

Hearing the other party's words, He Yuzhu quickly replied: "Hello, Vice Minister Li! I am He Yuzhu. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

Li Ze told the story about the jeep causing a stir at the First Industrial Machinery Factory today. After that, Li Ze asked, "Xiao He, what's the situation with that jeep? And what's the situation with the Red Star Machinery Factory? And how did you become the director of the Red Star Machinery Factory?"

"Deputy Minister Li, the jeep was developed by our factory workers using the technology from Dodge trucks. Today, our factory's Secretary Gao went to the First Industrial Machinery Department to report to the director of the Automobile Bureau, which is in charge of the automobile industry, about the jeep produced by our factory. As for the Red Star Machinery Factory you mentioned, our factory decided to establish a special machinery manufacturing plant based on the degree of localization of Dodge trucks based on our factory's truck repair workshop. Once we have completely solved all the problems in the localization of Dodge trucks, we will be able to smoothly organize workers to produce them."

He Yuzhu paused for a moment, then continued, "Minister Li, it's like this. Our factory director took into consideration that I was familiar with the work of the truck repair shop and had some management experience, so he appointed me as the director of the newly established Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant."

"Oh, so that's how it is! Yes, you founded the maintenance workshop yourself. I'm sure you would be worried if you really handed it over to other people." After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Li Ze replied with sudden enlightenment.

"Well, yes. However, Minister Li, don't worry, although I am now the director of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant, my official position is still the deputy director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, responsible for managing the steelmaking workshop of our plant." He Yuzhu explained.

"Oh, that's good. I thought you were transferred." Li Ze said with a smile on the phone.

"No, Minister Li, I will not leave the Red Star Steel Mill. After all, this is my root!" He Yuzhu replied firmly.

"Haha, that's good. By the way, Zhuzi, you just said that the jeeps produced by your factory are particularly good-looking. Is that true?" Li Ze suddenly seemed to remember something and asked curiously.

"Of course, Minister Li, this jeep produced by our factory is very beautiful. Many people fell in love with it after seeing it once." He Yuzhu replied proudly, "And the jeep produced by our factory is not only beautiful, but also has excellent performance. It is better than the Willys Jeep in America. Both the load capacity and the body weight are greater than that Willys Jeep."

"Really? Then I'll go to the square to take a look later. Xiao Henian, you said that these two jeeps were produced with reference to the technology of Dodge trucks. Does that mean that there will be good news about the localization of Dodge trucks in your factory soon?" Li Ze asked with a smile.

"Yes, Deputy Minister Li, you are so wise. I wanted to wait until the trucks are officially produced before reporting to you, but I didn't expect you to guess it." He Yuzhu said flatteringly.

"Xiao He, you've also learned to flatter." Li Ze said jokingly.

"Deputy Minister Li, I'm not flattering you. I'm just telling the truth." He Yuzhu explained seriously.

"Xiao He, if your factory can produce trucks and jeeps at the same time, wouldn't it be inappropriate to call it a machinery manufacturing plant? Should it be renamed an automobile factory?" Li Ze asked.

"Um...can you not change your name, Deputy Minister Li?" He Yuzhu asked cautiously.

"Oh, since you don't want to change your name, then can you tell me why you don't want to change your name?" Li Ze asked curiously.

"If it is renamed as the Automobile Factory, our factory's main business will be automobiles. Also, I'm thinking of making some other mechanical products in the future, which will be inconvenient. Deputy Minister Li, our steel rolling mill is now under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. If it is renamed as the Automobile Factory, then our automobile factory will definitely not be able to be under the steel rolling mill, and it will have to be independent at that time. Will this involve the issue of division of management rights?" He Yuzhu expressed his concerns.

"Xiao He, do you think that if your factory doesn't change its name, you don't have to worry about the division of management rights? The First Industrial Machinery Department will never allow a company that can produce jeeps and trucks to be placed under the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. Otherwise, your factory will not be able to carry out large-scale production of trucks and jeeps. You know, the factories that produce auto parts are all under the jurisdiction of our department."

“Then can our factory implement dual management?”

"Xiao He, what do you mean by the dual management method?"

"Our Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant is under the dual management of the First Industrial Machinery Department and the Metallurgical Industry Machinery Department. For example, our plant produces jeeps, which are managed by the First Industrial Machinery Department. So when we produce jeeps, we accept the management of the First Industrial Machinery Department and organize production according to the orders and plans of the First Industrial Machinery Department. However, the management of our plant in daily work belongs to the Metallurgical Industry Department."

"Haha, Xiao He, you are a woman marrying two husbands." Li Ze said with a smile.

"Deputy Minister Li, I have no choice. After all, I have been a member of the steel mill since the beginning. It was me who led the workers to start the Dodge truck imitation work. To be honest, if I just hand over the achievements to others, although I have no objection, I feel a little unwilling. Deputy Minister Li, to be honest, I feel that there are too many ministries and commissions above. It would be better to just set up an industrial machinery department to be directly responsible for managing all the factories in the country. How much easier it would be?"

"Xiao He, your suggestion is good, but it does not fit the current domestic situation. The reason why so many industrial ministries are established is to better promote the development of various industries. As for the issue of management rights that you are worried about, you don't have to worry. When it involves two departments, the Prime Minister's Office will come forward to solve it."

"Okay, I understand. Deputy Minister Li, please go down and take a look at the jeeps produced by our factory. I promise you won't be disappointed."

"Okay, Xiao He, goodbye." After saying that, Li Ze hung up the phone and went downstairs to see what the jeep that He Yuzhu mentioned looked like.
