Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

On the second day after returning to Sijiu City, although He Yuzhu gave a day off to other people who went on a business trip to Baiyun City with him, he did not give himself a day off, but came to the Red Star Steel Plant early.

The first thing to do when he got to work was to report to the two leaders of the Red Star Steel Plant, so He Yuzhu came to Gao Hongwei's office first. When Gao Hongwei saw He Yuzhu coming, he immediately said kindly: "Deputy Director He, didn't you just come back yesterday? Why didn't you rest at home today? You came to work so early."

"Secretary Gao, I haven't been in the factory for almost a month. I thought there must be a lot of backlog work that needs to be dealt with, so I hurried to work." He Yuzhu explained with a smile.

"After all, you are still young and full of energy." Gao Hongwei picked up the phone on the table and called Yang Zixing's office. "Hello, Director Yang? Deputy Director He is in my office now. If you are not busy, come over!"

"Okay, Secretary Gao, I'll be there right away." Yang Zixing's voice came from the microphone. He Yuzhu could hear the excitement in Director Yang's tone through the microphone.

A moment later, there was a knock on Gao Hongwei's office door.

"Come in." Gao Hongwei shouted at the door.

Then the door was pushed open and Yang Zixing walked in quickly. Yang Zixing said to He Yuzhu with a smile on his face: "Deputy Director He, why don't you rest at home for a few days? You should rest well at home after being on a business trip for so long."

"Director Yang, I just told Deputy Director He the same thing. Unfortunately, Deputy Director He was so worried about the work at the factory that he refused to rest at home. He came to my office early in the morning to report on his work."

"Since you are already here, there is no point in talking about other things. Deputy Director He, please don't do this again in the future. Don't do it again! Deputy Director He, you have made great contributions to our factory at the Export Commodities Trading Conference this time. Secretary Gao, do you know? I just received a call from my superior. The superior said on the phone that Deputy Director He has negotiated a total of 1250 export orders for automobiles at this Export Commodities Trading Conference, and that the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant produces thermos cups and thermos kettles, which may become our flagship products like diesel heating stoves in the future." Yang Zixing said excitedly.

"The superiors also said that our factory is the one that generated the most foreign exchange in this export commodity trade fair! They repeatedly told us to complete the orders from foreign merchants with guaranteed quality and quantity, and never let foreign customers be disappointed with the cars produced in our country! At that time, I patted my chest and guaranteed to my superiors on the phone: Whether it is exported cars or cars supplied to the domestic market, we will adhere to the attitude of striving for excellence and meticulousness in production. We will never let any problematic car leave the factory gate!"

"Director Yang is right. This is all thanks to Deputy Director He who has been strictly controlling product quality since the establishment of the machinery manufacturing plant. Customers who use the cars produced by our factory all praise the good quality of our cars. Although I am not in charge of production, I often receive calls from some old colleagues, saying that someone has asked them for help in coordinating some trucks. It's a pity that our factory has no say in the sales of trucks, which are managed by the Automobile Industry Bureau of the First Industrial Machinery Department. Deputy Director He, can you think of a way to increase the production of cars?" Gao Hongwei said with a wry smile.

"Secretary Gao, since the first off-road vehicle was put into production, we have been continuously expanding our automobile production capacity, but we have never been able to meet domestic demand. After all, our factory is the only one in the country that produces medium-sized trucks. Last year, we planned to apply to our superiors to build a new factory site and strive to increase the production capacity of trucks to 10 vehicles per year. But who would have thought that we would encounter a large-scale reduction in grain production and were unable to recruit workers on a large scale. Therefore, the expansion plan was temporarily shelved." He Yuzhu explained.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. Deputy Director He, can't we further increase the production capacity by transforming the production line?" Gao Hongwei asked after sighing.

"Secretary Gao, you and I are on the same page. I came to you and Director Yang today to report my work. I wanted to apply for automation of the current automobile production line and steelmaking workshop. I hope to increase the output of automobiles without increasing the number of workers and reduce the physical exertion in the steelmaking process."

"Since Deputy Director He already has an idea, let me tell you my attitude. I fully support the suggestion you just made. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, or if you need me to come forward to coordinate, please feel free to speak up." Gao Hongwei said decisively.

"My attitude is the same as Secretary Gao's. If there is anything that needs my solution, Deputy Director He can just give me instructions." Seeing this, Yang Zixing also hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"I thank the two leaders for their support. I will do my best to lead the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant to surpass the Northeast Automobile Manufacturing Plant and win the title of the largest truck manufacturer in the country."

"Director Yang, let's wait and see! I believe it won't be long before Deputy Director He will fulfill his words." Gao Hongwei said with a smile.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu reported some other things to Gao Hongwei and Yang Zixing. After reporting on the work, He Yuzhu hurried back to the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant. He first came to the technical department. Although Zhang Wanshun from the technical department rested at home according to his instructions, it did not affect He Yuzhu's visit to the technical department to learn about the research and development of heavy trucks.

"Director He, you're here!" When Ding Xiaowei, deputy chief of the technical department, saw He Yuzhu coming, he hurriedly trotted to He Yuzhu's side.

"Deputy Section Chief Ding, are you busy now?"

"I'm not busy. Director He, please let me know if you have anything to say." Ding Xiaowei said respectfully.

"If you're not busy, accompany me to the workshop and tell me about the research and development of heavy-duty trucks and luxury cars." After saying that, He Yuzhu opened the door of the technical department and walked out. Seeing this, Ding Xiaowei hurriedly followed He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu nodded and greeted the workers he met, saying, "Deputy Section Chief Ding, when I was on a business trip to Lingnan Province, Section Chief Zhang said that the heavy trucks would have results by the end of April. Now it's May, what's the current situation with the heavy trucks?"

"Director He, we completed the final testing of the heavy trucks at the end of last month."

"Really? What are the test results?" He Yuzhu asked hurriedly after hearing Ding Xiaowei's words.

"According to the data we obtained from our tests, except for the slightly lower engine life, other performance characteristics are in line with the goals we set at the beginning. In general, the heavy-duty truck has been successfully developed," Ding Xiaowei said excitedly.

"Since the research and development has been successful, why don't you apply for acceptance from the Automobile Industry Bureau of the First Industrial Machinery Ministry?"

"Director He, you were not in the factory when we completed the heavy truck test. We wanted to wait for you to come back and conduct an evaluation of the heavy truck first. After your approval, we will apply to the Automobile Industry Bureau of the First Industrial Machinery Department for appraisal and evaluation."

After listening to Ding Xiaowei's words, He Yuzhu immediately understood, that's it! For such an important and major matter as the application for appraisal and evaluation of heavy trucks, these cadres in the factory did not dare to make a decision easily when he was not in the factory. After all, this was a major event related to the future development of the entire factory. If an unexpected situation occurred and the appraisal by the Automobile Industry Bureau could not be passed, none of them could bear the responsibility for this failure. After figuring out the key point, He Yuzhu did not blame Ding Xiaowei, but asked calmly: "How many heavy truck prototypes are there now?"

Ding Xiaowei quickly replied: "After the heavy-duty truck passed the final test, we produced a new prototype as planned. Together with the prototype used for testing before, we now have a total of 6."

He Yuzhu nodded and continued to ask: "So are all the technical data related to heavy trucks ready? Are you ready to welcome the experts from the Automobile Industry Bureau to come for inspection at any time?"

"The information has been sorted out long ago, and we are ready to face the acceptance from our superiors at any time." Ding Xiaowei said confidently.

"Then wait until Deputy Director Fan and Section Chief Zhang go to work tomorrow, and immediately apply to the Automobile Industry Bureau for an appraisal of the heavy trucks. Come on, take me over to see the heavy trucks now."

"Okay!" After saying that, Ding Xiaowei walked towards the area where heavy trucks were parked.

When they arrived at the parking area for heavy trucks, looking at the heavy trucks parked neatly in a row, He Yuzhu first walked around the body of the heavy truck, carefully observing every detail on the truck. After observing the appearance of the heavy truck, he opened the door and got into the cab, sat in the driver's seat and felt it for a while, then said to Ding Xiaowei who was standing outside the car: "Where is the key of this truck? Go find the key of this truck. I want to drive it myself to feel the performance of this truck."

"The key to this truck is in the Quality Inspection Department. I'll get it right away." After saying that, Ding Xiaowei hurriedly ran towards the Quality Inspection Department.

While Ding Xiaowei went to get the car keys, He Yuzhu continued to inspect the details of the truck. In order to reduce production costs, the front of this truck is exactly the same as the CBK-01 truck, except that the engine inside the front is different. The engine of this truck has more power.

Not long after, Ding Xiaowei came back panting, holding the car keys tightly in his hand. He handed the keys to He Yuzhu while panting. He Yuzhu took the keys, quickly got into the cab, inserted them into the switch without hesitation, and turned them decisively. Instantly, accompanied by a roar, the engine began to make a "beep beep" sound, as if announcing its awakening.

He Yuzhu deftly pressed the clutch and gently shifted into first gear. Then, he slowly lifted his left foot, and the truck began to tremble slightly and gradually moved forward. He flexibly controlled the truck and let it drive smoothly around the factory's car yard. The entire driving experience was similar to that of the CBK-01 truck, but it was obviously more powerful.

When the truck returned to its original parking position, He Yuzhu stopped the vehicle. He turned to Ding Xiaowei and said, "The overall driving experience is good, but we must find a way to extend the engine life as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a pity to delay the use of such a good truck because of the engine." After that, he looked at the truck thoughtfully, and began to think about the next plan in his mind.
