Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After solving the problem of delivery of Mao Xiong diesel heating stoves, the integration of Hongxing Machinery Manufacturing Plant and Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant also began. The first thing to be merged was the R&D department. He Yuzhu integrated the R&D personnel of the two factories into Hongxing Machinery Manufacturing Plant and changed Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant into a pure production base. As the technical personnel of Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant came to Hongxing Machinery Manufacturing Plant according to the transfer order issued by He Yuzhu, the R&D strength of Hongxing Machinery Manufacturing Plant was greatly improved, and the progress of various R&D projects in the plant was significantly improved.

With the end of the Lunar New Year holiday in 59, the Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant also officially began the production of Red Star brand cars. Because it was the first time for the workers of the Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant to officially produce cars on the assembly line, in order to ensure the quality of the Red Star brand cars produced, and considering the low level of proficiency of the workers, He Yuzhu did not require the workers of the Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant to produce at full capacity at the beginning, but to conduct low-speed trial production. The production line that originally produced 30 cars a day only needed to complete 10 cars a day.

By March 1959, 3, after nearly a month of low-speed trial production, the Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant had delivered a total of 15 Red Star CB-03 sedans. In view of the improved proficiency of the workers at the Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant, He Yuzhu immediately issued an order that the Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant would start full-load production from that day on, striving to achieve full-load operation of the production line as soon as possible.

Both the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant and the Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant were busy with production. He Yuzhu, the head of the two plants, was also busy. The universities that Minister Zhao of the First Industrial Machinery Department promised to support the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant were finally determined. A total of four universities participated in the support of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant, among which the tractor major of Huaqing University was more famous. With the support of four engineering universities, the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant simultaneously carried out the research and development of four projects: tractors, diesel engines, automatic transmissions and 4-ton load trucks.

After the technicians of the Fourth Research and Design Institute of the Ministry of Chemical Industry stationed at the Red Star Steel Plant figured out the urea synthesis process, they went through four months of repeated experiments and finally solved all the technical problems in the urea aqueous solution full-cycle production method. On April 4, 1959, they completed the construction of the first 4-ton aqueous solution full-cycle test device. He Yuzhu, who participated in the completion and trial production ceremony of the 18-ton aqueous solution full-cycle urea production device, looked at Vice Minister Hou of the Ministry of Chemical Industry who was speaking on the stage, and couldn't help squinting and thinking that as long as the 2-ton aqueous solution full-cycle urea production test device can operate normally, the use of urea will soon be popularized in the agricultural field of Rabbit Country. With urea, the grain output can at least be increased from the current 2-plus kilograms to 2-300 kilograms, which can alleviate the problem of tight food supply in the future.

After attending the completion and commissioning ceremony of the 2-ton aqueous solution full-circulation urea production pilot unit, He Yuzhu returned to his office, but had just sat down for less than 5 minutes.

"Boom boom boom..."

As He Yuzhu said "Come in", Xu Damao pushed open the door of He Yuzhu's office and walked in.

"Deputy Director He, I'm here to report to you."

"Report on work? Report on what work?" He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao and asked curiously.

"Deputy Director He, didn't I write an article last year introducing the advanced situation of our factory? Although that article has been published, later I compiled a management experience of the Red Star Steel Plant based on the various instructions of the leaders of Li De in the newspapers, and referred to the management experience of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant in the Bear Country, combined with the situation of our steel plant. I feel that such experience is in line with the national conditions of our country and the instructions of the leaders of Li De." After saying this, Xu Damao carefully placed the document he wrote on He Yuzhu's desk.

He Yuzhu glanced at the thick documents on the desk and said, "Great, Damao, I didn't expect you to produce another masterpiece after such a long time. The article you wrote seems to have a lot of content. I estimate it will take me a while to read it. You sit down and have a rest for a while, and I'll take a quick look at it." After that, He Yuzhu began to read it quickly.

"He Yuzhu, the director of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant under the Red Star Steel Plant, actively led the cadres to participate in workshop production labor on the basis of the factory director responsibility system. The factory organized and called on workers to participate in management during the production process, reformed unreasonable factory rules and regulations, and insisted on using science and technology to improve productivity, vigorously carried out technological innovation, and realized the production of three models of cars at the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant. Through the advanced experience of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant, it can be concluded that listening to the suggestions of the majority of cadres and grassroots workers can promote the production and development of the factory better than the so-called simple one-man factory director responsibility system..."

After reading Xu Damao's article, He Yuzhu squinted his eyes and began to ponder. Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu's expressionless face and fell into deep thought, and he began to feel uneasy. After a moment, He Yuzhu said, "Damo, your article is well written overall, but some parts need to be revised."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Xu Damao felt relieved and asked quickly, "Could you please tell me, Deputy Director He?"

"Your article mainly talks about the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant, which is fine, but I didn't see any mention of our steel plant's Secretary Gao and Director Yang in your article. The Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant is a subsidiary of the Red Star Steel Plant. Any achievements made by the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant are inseparable from the support and help of the general plant leaders. In your article, I saw that you mainly talked about my promotion of various systems in the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant, and the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant achieved excellent results. This is not right."

"Deputy Director He, you have played a vital role in the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant since its establishment! When I was writing the part about Secretary Gao and Director Yang, I always felt like I was deliberately praising them." Xu Damao expressed his inner thoughts carefully and tactfully.

He Yuzhu frowned slightly and responded earnestly: "Da Mao, it is not appropriate for you to have such an idea. This view is too narrow and biased. Indeed, since the establishment of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant, I have been in charge of all affairs. However, we must clearly realize that the reason why the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant was able to come into being so smoothly and gradually grow is actually based on the original maintenance workshop of our factory's logistics department."

"Think about it, why was a small and seemingly insignificant logistics department maintenance workshop able to successfully transform into the current large-scale Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant? This must be inseparable from the strong support given by Secretary Gao and Director Yang! Without their approval and recognition, how could I, alone, expand that small logistics department maintenance workshop into the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant it is today? Therefore, the outstanding contributions made by Secretary Gao and Director Yang to the establishment and subsequent development of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant should never be underestimated, and should not be easily forgotten. I hope you will keep this in mind."

"Perhaps you may not understand what I am saying. Let me give you a simple example. Why was I able to become the director of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant? Wasn't it because Secretary Gao and Director Yang were good leaders and had a keen eye for talent? So you have to take this article back and revise it carefully. You need to change "I am the main person" to "Secretary Gao and Director Yang are the main people". As for me, I am at most a supporting role. Okay, take it back and revise it quickly. Remember to bring it to me after you are done revising it. After I have read it for you, you can submit it." After instructing Xu Damao, He Yuzhu returned the article written by Xu Damao to Xu Damao.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go back and revise it." After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Xu Damao showed a thoughtful look on his face and nodded slowly in response. His eyes flashed with complex light, as if he was thinking about what he had just heard. Then, he carefully picked up the article he had carefully written on the table and left He Yuzhu's office.

After Xu Damao turned and left, He Yuzhu couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head. He thought to himself: "This Xu Damao, he is obviously only concerned with pleasing me and flattering me, and he has even forgotten who the top leader of Red Star Steel Plant is! Fortunately, he still has some brains and knows to come to me for review before publishing the article to the public. Otherwise, if this article is really published rashly and seen by Secretary Gao and Director Yang, wouldn't it be a blatant disregard of their status as the top leaders of Red Star Steel Plant? In this way, this article, which was originally intended to flatter himself, will probably instantly become a fuse for trouble and trouble for himself, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction and disgust among the leaders!" Thinking of this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel fortunate, and at the same time, he felt a little amused and helpless about Xu Damao's behavior.
