Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Accompanied by Zhang Ke and Feng Rui, He Yuzhu stepped into the workshop of Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant. They strolled among the workshops, as if they were in a huge and complex mechanical kingdom.

Every time he walked into a workshop, He Yuzhu was shocked by the scene in front of him. Workers were busy operating various machines and equipment. The sound of metal collision and machine roar intertwined to form a unique industrial symphony. He carefully observed each process and felt everything here with his heart.

As the tour drew to a close, He Yuzhu had already had a general understanding of the factory's condition. Although it was called an "automobile manufacturing plant," it actually lacked the ability to manufacture complete vehicles. It was more like a base that specialized in producing various auto parts and tractor parts.

The neatly arranged carburetors, exquisite gasoline pumps, durable cylinder gaskets, and glittering car lamps all demonstrate the professional level of this factory in the field of auto parts. However, it is regrettable that due to the impact and influence of the Great Leap Forward Movement at that time, this factory once tried to independently develop a small car called "Jinggangshan".

This car embodies the hard work and wisdom of many workers, but unfortunately, due to the immature technology, it ultimately failed to pass the strict appraisal of relevant national departments and could not be officially put into large-scale production. As a result, the Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant can only continue to rely on the production of auto parts to maintain its operation. Even with such a resounding name as "Automobile Manufacturing Plant", it still remains in the upstream link of the automobile industry chain.

After Zhang Ke and Feng Rui led He Yuzhu to finish the tour of Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant, they were filled with anxiety and kept their eyes fixed on He Yuzhu. The reason was that although the name of Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant gave people a sense of grand scale, in fact it was far from being comparable to the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant. According to the information they obtained from asking around, the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant has now become the second largest automobile manufacturing enterprise in the country, and is also the leading passenger car manufacturer.

The reason why the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant was able to achieve such a brilliant achievement was entirely due to the seemingly young but incredible person standing in front of them. Yes, it was this young man who led the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant to create a miracle - just two months after their own factory successfully developed a car, they successfully developed an off-road vehicle! More importantly, their off-road vehicle successfully passed the strict appraisal and review of the Automobile Industry Bureau and has entered the regular mass production stage; in contrast, the "Jinggangshan" brand car that their own factory worked hard to build suffered the unfortunate fate of a premature death.

He Yuzhu looked at Zhang Ke and Feng Rui, who had uneasy expressions on their faces, and said with a smile: "Secretary Zhang, Director Feng, I have visited our factory and have a basic understanding of our situation. Next, the three of us will find a place to sit down and have a good chat?"

Zhang Ke quickly said enthusiastically: "I'm sorry, Deputy Director He, I was so busy showing you around the factory that I didn't think of this. Let's go to my office." After saying that, Zhang Ke made an inviting gesture and led the way.

When they entered Zhang Ke's office, Zhang Ke insisted that He Yuzhu sit in his seat. Seeing this, He Yuzhu hurriedly said, "Secretary Zhang, this is your office. How can I take over your place?" After that, He Yuzhu pulled up a chair and sat down. Seeing this, Zhang Ke could only smile and shook his head, and hurriedly poured water for He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the teacup handed over by Zhang Ke and said "thank you." After Zhang Ke put down the kettle and sat down, He Yuzhu said, "Secretary Zhang, Director Feng, I don't like beating around the bush. I like to be straightforward. Next, I will directly talk about my thoughts on our factory. If you feel that what I said is wrong or does not conform to the actual situation of our factory, please feel free to enlighten me. First of all, I have a question to ask. Just now, when I was walking around the workshop with you two, I found that our factory has no equipment related to automobile production. What's going on?"

Zhang Ke and Feng Rui blushed after hearing what He Yuzhu said. Feng Rui coughed lightly and explained, "Deputy Director He, it's like this. Our factory was the First Automobile Parts Factory in Sijiucheng before. In the first half of this year, we organized workers to develop a car called Jinggangshan. Because of this car, our superiors approved our factory to change its name to Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant. It's embarrassing to say that Director Li Fengshi personally attended the celebration meeting for the Jinggangshan car in our factory. It was also he who announced at the meeting that our factory was renamed Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant. As a result, our factory was not up to the standard and the Jinggangshan cars we produced did not pass the appraisal of the Automobile Industry Bureau. So although our factory was renamed Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant, our superiors did not allocate the corresponding automobile production equipment to our factory."

"Oh, so that's how it is." After listening to Feng Rui's explanation, He Yuzhu figured out why he didn't see any equipment related to automobile production in the workshop. "But that's all in the past, so there's no need to keep reminiscing about it. Now that your automobile manufacturing plant has merged with our machinery manufacturing plant, the superiors will definitely transfer equipment to ensure that our plant can complete automobile production. Next, we need to focus on how to quickly get the workers familiar with the machines and deliver Red Star brand cars as soon as possible."

"Deputy Director He is right, but our factory has never produced cars. So even if the equipment allocated by our superiors arrives later, we don't know how to manage it." Feng Ke nodded and said.

"Director Feng, I already have plans for production. This is what I'm going to say next. Since your factory has merged with ours, your production and management in the future must be based on our standards and be the same as ours. Next, I will transfer some people from the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant to our factory for guidance. Similarly, I will also transfer a group of people from our factory to the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant for training." After saying this, He Yuzhu looked at Zhang Ke and Feng Rui and expressed their opinions.

Zhang Ke was the first to break the silence. He straightened up, looked at He Yuzhu firmly, and said in a loud voice: "Regarding the suggestion made by Deputy Director He, I personally express my unreserved and unwavering support! For those comrades who come to our factory to give careful guidance, we will definitely go all out and do our best to actively cooperate. If anyone dares to show the slightest neglect or non-cooperation to the comrades from the main factory, then please rest assured that I will personally go to their door and have a good talk with their leaders about this matter!"

Then, Feng Rui stood up without hesitation, and echoed sincerely and firmly: "That's right, Deputy Director He, Secretary Zhang and I have the same opinion. Here, I would like to take the initiative to volunteer and hope to be one of the first people to go to the main factory for training. I will do my best to make our factory achieve the same brilliant achievements as the main factory as soon as possible!"

At this time, Deputy Director He nodded slightly to show his approval, and further elaborated: "The training targets at the main factory this time will be cadres at all levels. Of course, the prerequisite is that it will not cause any adverse effects on normal production. Therefore, we plan to adopt a batch-by-batch approach, carefully selecting a group of cadres each time to rush to the main factory to receive systematic training until all cadres have successfully completed the training task."

"As for the majority of workers, the relevant training will be carried out by professionals sent by the main factory to provide support. However, I have to say this in advance - everyone has the right to put forward valuable opinions and constructive suggestions regarding some unreasonable aspects that may arise during the training process; but if someone is resistant and deliberately refuses to learn new knowledge and new skills, or even openly defies the training arrangements, then don't blame me for being ruthless and severely punishing them!"

After listening to He Yuzhu's words that were full of murderous aura and decisiveness, Zhang Ke and Feng Rui could not help but feel awe. They did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and nodded quickly to express their full agreement. At the same time, they vowed that they would do their best to support and uphold every instruction issued by the general factory.

However, as the saying goes, only by using both kindness and force can one win people's hearts. After severely beating the two, it is natural to give them some sweet treats as a consolation. So, He Yuzhu immediately said: "I set a short-term goal for the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant to produce 100 cars a day! As for our own factory, my expectations are equally high, because our country's demand for cars is huge!"

"In fact, 100 cars a day cannot meet the needs of our country, but we have to eat one bite at a time, so I sincerely hope that you can work together and make progress together towards this established goal. After achieving this goal, we will strive for a higher goal. Although the automobile factory in the Northeast is the number one factory in the country now, it does not mean that it will always sit on the top spot! I am confident that it will be surpassed in a few years."

Listening to He Yuzhu's bold words, Zhang Ke and Feng Rui's enthusiasm was also ignited, and they quickly expressed their desire to follow He Yuzhu's footsteps to build the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant into the largest automobile manufacturing plant in the country.
